I found a belt in the Honkai Impact 3rd world.

Facing Otto's "smile," a chilling sensation rises from the bottom up.

This guy is absolutely serious, Mo Mo can guarantee that.

"Choose, or... are you too scared to speak?"

However, Mo Mo is not that fragile.

"Hmm, I choose..." Mo Mo returned a smile that couldn't be more fake, "to die of old age?"

[Fine, if you're so scared, why pretend to be tough?]

Show weakness to this jerk? No way!

"To die of old age?" Otto tilted his head slightly in surprise. "That's a difficult choice indeed."

"Stop pretending. If Miss Karen really told you, she wouldn't have let you kill me!"

“It seems you’re not entirely stupid. Indeed, Karen asked me to provide some protection after I found you, but…” Otto changed the subject, “if all we find is a cold corpse, even Karen won’t have anything to say.”

"..."

【What a ruthless person!】Even the system couldn't help but sigh.

Indeed, he absolutely has the ability to get rid of Mo Mo without anyone noticing.

Blame it on Viktor?

"Although Karen's heart is more compassionate than an angel's, how long can you let her remember that?"

“That makes sense, but…” Seeing Otto’s confidence, Mo Mo retorted, “Are you so sure I’ll obediently surrender… and be slaughtered?”

Upon realizing that he had been bound like a caterpillar, Mo Mo immediately changed his tune.

"How naive!"

Mo Mo sneered and suddenly exerted force!

The rope remained completely still.

"Hmm——————" Even though Mo Mo's face turned red, he still couldn't break free from the seemingly ordinary rope.

"Do you think I would make the same mistake twice?" Otto looked down at Mo Mo with amusement. "This is a special product used to restrain Honkai Beasts; you can't possibly break free from it."

[Really? Mo Mo, are you even capable?!]

Unfortunately, it seems he was telling the truth... Mo Mo gasped for breath, forced to admit the fact.

"So what if I can't break free?" Mo Mo feigned composure. "Do you know who I am? You'd be terrified if I told you. I'm the number one swordsman of the Divine Continent! This mere restraint..."

"The number one swordsman in China? I've never heard of that. Mo Zai, you can even use a sword?"

[I made that up! Just stalling for time!]

"The number one... Sword Saint of China?" Otto muttered to himself, then suddenly threw his head back and laughed. "Even if you really are, what can you do when you can't move? What can you do without a sword in your hand?"

"Heh, does being unable to move mean you can't slash? Does having no sword mean you can't slash?" Mo Mo smiled "calmly." "Is a sword such an inconvenient thing?"

Hey, that sounds pretty convincing.

I learned it from comics.

【...】

What I really want to do is kill him with a headbutt when he's not looking!

"You've only made one mistake," Mo Mo said, already gathering his strength, "and that was calling those lackeys away! You're finished!"

"Is that so? The same applies to you. You've only made one mistake: you talked too much nonsense!" Otto remained calm, suddenly extending one hand from behind his back. "Perhaps you had that ability just now, but..."

Suddenly, a pistol-shaped object with a gold-colored base appeared in his hand, its dark muzzle pointed directly at Mo Mo.

"Can you still do it now?"

"..."

17. Are other women pretty? (Just kidding)

The golden gun body seemed illusory, but there was no doubt that it had the ability to take a life with a single shot.

The hollow muzzle felt slightly cold, like the temperature of Otto's lips.

"Can you still do it now?" Otto raised an eyebrow provocatively, his mocking tone concealing a subtle "killing intent." "Your Excellency, the Number One Sword Saint of China."

One glance was enough for Mo Mo to recognize the name of the murder weapon.

Void Treasury - Mimicry of Heavenly Fire and Sacred Judgment.

Damn it, did you really have to use the Divine Key on a defenseless, pitiful person like me?! Have you no humanity at all?!

"..." Mo Mo silently watched the guy who could blast him to smithereens with a single shot and swallowed hard.

He lowered his head and thought about it seriously...

Hmm, it seems like that won't work at all.

【Damn it, wsm!!!】

[Wow! What's that? A pistol? It looks like a super high-end one! The 15th century in this world is terrifying!] The system actually had the leisure to marvel at the technology of this world at this moment.

Is this the time to appreciate technology? I'm doomed!!!

Mo Mo subtly shifted to the left, and the empty muzzle of the gun followed his movement, changing its angle accordingly.

"Hmph, hmph, as long as I use my secret sword technique, Swallow Return... no, the Three-Stage Strike of Ignorance." Mo Mo's eyes kept darting around, "Even bullets, I can dodge them!"

"Isn't that a technique used by a great swordsman from Japan?"

Everyone says I'm making this up!!!

The visible wavering made Otto's smile widen even further. The sight of him stubbornly persisting despite having exhausted all options was truly delightful.

Wow, Mo Zai, he seems really happy!

That awful bastard...

"Since you're so confident, how about we make a bet?" Otto suddenly said, seemingly having thought of a new way to play.

"What are you gambling?"

“I’ll pull the trigger when I count down from 3 to 0,” Otto said with a playful smile. “How about we see who’s faster, your ‘Number One Sword Saint of China’ swordsmanship or my ‘second-rate’ marksmanship?”

Mo Mo estimated the distance between himself and Otto.

Um......

Is it possible for the human body to outspeed an attack from the Heavenly Judgment?

[System, do you think I have a chance of winning?]

I think you'll be blasted to smithereens before you even make a move, Mo Zai, farewell.

【Hello!!!】

"Ready? I'm about to start the countdown." A meaningful glint flashed in Otto's eyes.

"Hey, I haven't agreed yet!"

“3.” Otto ignored Mo Mo’s protest and started counting down on his own.

"..."

What should we do? Should we hide?

Left? Or right?

Or should we fight to the death?

Now it's three seconds to go before your life or death is decided!

"0!"

"Damn it!!!" Mo Mo was stunned. What happened to the promised three-second countdown?! Otto, you tricked me!!!

The last thing Mo Mo saw was Otto's mocking gaze.

"boom!!!"

A loud bang suddenly erupted.

Mo Mo closed his eyes tightly, waiting for the pain that was about to arrive.

"..."

No pain at all? Could it be that I didn't even have a chance to react before I went straight to heaven?

"Alright, stop being silly and open your eyes." The system's helpless voice interrupted Mo Mo's chaotic thoughts.

What is this?

Mo Mo opened his eyes. He was still tightly bound, but no part of his body was missing.

Did Otto miss?

【Mo Zai, all I can say is that you weren't meant to die.】

Mo Mo then noticed that the hall door had been pushed open at some point, and a henchman was whispering something to Otto, while the mimicry of the Heavenly Fire Judgment had vanished without a trace.

Oh, so that was the sound of a door opening?

Can't you be a little gentler? Don't you have any manners? My heart almost stopped!

The sound of his heart pounding echoed in his ears, and Mo Mo was still shaken.

But what exactly happened? Didn't Otto just say that no one was allowed to come near him no matter what happened?

Mo Mo strained his ears, trying to hear the whispers of the henchmen, but he couldn't hear anything.

Otto waved his hand dismissively and said, "I understand, I'll be right there. Make sure she doesn't get near here."

"Yes." The henchman nodded respectfully, quickly ran out, and closed the door behind him.

What happened?

"Is there even a question? The existence that can make this bastard so hesitant..." A glint flashed in Mo Mo's eyes. "There's only one truth!"
