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

"The number one swordsman of the Divine Land?" Eleanor instantly understood the meaning. "No wonder you have such outstanding skills, but what can you do if you're unarmed?"

"Ha, another ignorant person." Mo Mo's eyes narrowed. "Can't one use swordsmanship without a sword in hand? Is a sword such an inconvenient thing?"

Mo Mo stretched his hands out in front of him, clasped them together as if he were holding onto something.

"I'll ask you one more time, is it really true that I have nothing in my hands?"

“???” Eleanor looked at Momo’s hands hesitantly.

No matter how you look at it.

It was completely empty.

"Looks like you're nothing special after all..." Mo Mo sighed with a hint of regret. "Fine, then I'll show you."

"..." Eleanor silently raised her gun, her face solemn.

"Take this..." Mo Mo's hands, gripping the "air," gradually rose, assuming a downward chopping stance. "Hah!!!"

The hands suddenly dropped down and then opened instantly.

"boom!"

The familiar sound rang out for the second time in the basement.

[Besides smoke grenades, do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?]

"Of course!" Before the dust settled, Mo Mo quickly turned around. "Let's get out of here while we can!!!"

【Hello!!!】

“Despicable and shameless!” Eleanor roared, her anger at being fooled burning her reason like a flame.

If I were to let you leave here today, I would be unworthy of the surname "Shaniat" bestowed upon me by Lord Otto!

"Go!"

Gripping the black gun tightly, Eleanor hurled it forward fiercely into the swirling smoke and mist.

"call out------"

The sharp tip of the gun tore through the smoke.

[Mo Zai, watch out!]

【! ! ! 】

The whooshing sound from behind was like the call of death. Mo Mo's body reacted first, flinging to the side.

"Tear."

A sharp pain exploded from my left hand, instantly spreading to every corner of my body.

"Cough!"

The violent impact and excruciating pain caused him to lose his balance, spinning in the air before crashing into the wall.

It slipped and fell to the ground, then fell silent.

25. If I had another chance

【Mo Zai, wake up, Mo Zai! How much longer are you going to pretend to be dead?!】

【...】

[There's no other way...] The system's helpless sigh went unheard. [This is the only option we have.]

[Ahem, gurgle gurgle gurgle... Mo Zai, all the knight belts at the toy store next door are 1% off!]

【！！！】Mo Mo, who was in a coma, suddenly frowned.

Buy one get one free!

"I'll take them all!" Mo Mo suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, his eyes shining. "How many do you have...wait, please?"

Wait a minute, this is 15th-century Europe, where would a toy store selling knight belts come from?

And this place...

The cold, damp floor, the dim lighting, and the putrid smell instantly chased away Mo Mo's remaining drowsiness.

"This is...a prison?"

[Finally awake? As you can see, this is the prison you infiltrated before, but now you're a member of it too.]

The system's monotone voice revealed the cruel truth: Mo Mo then realized that both his hands were bound by cold iron shackles, and the other end of the short chain extended only to the wall behind him.

Although it's good that I survived, the situation doesn't seem very optimistic now.

[Hey Mo, you were tempted when you heard about the belt sale, weren't you? Even though you already have the real deal! Damn it, what the hell?]

"Is this the time to be worrying about this?!" Mo Mo frowned, gripping the cold iron chain. "The important thing is to figure out how to get out!"

Despite repeated efforts, the iron shackles remained firmly in place, showing no sign of loosening.

"The quality is just too good..." Mo Mo breathed heavily, feeling the deep marks left on his wrists from the tight straps.

The wound from the black gun was still throbbing and showed no signs of improvement.

It's truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly.

[As expected, human strength has its limits...]

【Mo Zai! What exactly are you trying to say?】

Mo Mo took a deep breath.

"Help! I'm innocent!"

The loud shouts echoed in the dark and cramped space, but there was no response.

There wasn't even a sound of the guards shouting or cursing.

[Damn it, has everyone disappeared?] Mo Mo shut his mouth after calling out to no avail.

I never expected that my first time renting out an entire theater would be in a prison. It was truly an extraordinary experience.

"Now you know what pain is? You saved Karen, you saved that little girl named Sasha, but who's going to save you now? Is being a good person fun?"

"That was fun, I'll do it again next time." Mo Mo stubbornly retorted.

[You idiot, still talking back! You won't learn your lesson until you see the coffin? I'll see what you do now...]

Shh, stop! Listen, isn't someone coming?

[...It seems there really is?]

The faint footsteps gradually became clearer in the silent prison, approaching Mo Mo's cell.

Guess who it is?

It's definitely Karen!

Mo Mo turned her head toward the direction from which the sound came, her eyes wide with hope.

"Cut..." He had barely uttered a single syllable when the person appeared in Mo Mo's field of vision.

Instantly, Mo Mo's face fell.

[Haha, unfortunately, Mo Zai, you guessed wrong.]

The dim lighting couldn't hide his golden hair and handsome features. Mo Mo had met the person he least wanted to see during this worst of times.

"It's you?" Mo Mo stared blankly at Otto, who had opened the cell door and was looking down at him.

“Of course it’s me.” Otto seemed quite pleased with Mo Mo’s disheveled appearance, but then his expression changed, and he asked with a strange look, “Why are you wearing Karen’s clothes?”

"..."

[Just say it directly, like taking off Karen's clothes or something.]

I want to die a quick and painless death.

"Ahem, since I said I'd be a phantom thief, I'll definitely see it through to the end," Mo Mo replied hesitantly, his eyes darting around.

"..." Otto's strange expression hadn't faded yet. "Are you out of your mind?"

"###" Several tic-tac-toe characters appeared on Mo Mo's forehead as he kicked out at Otto.

"Clang, clang."

The clanging sound of the chains rang out crisply.

"Ugh————"

No matter how long Momo stretched his legs, he could never touch Otto, who was right in front of him.

[This damn chain! Otherwise, I would have kicked him to death!]

Seeing this comical scene, Otto finally changed his strange expression and laughed with pleasure.

"Did you come here just to watch me make a fool of myself?"

"Is this how you treat your savior?" Otto said with a smile.

"My savior?" Mo Mo pulled his leg back in astonishment. "You?"

“If I hadn’t arrived in time to stop Eleanor, do you think you’d still be alive to make a fool of yourself in front of me?” Otto gestured near his neck. “The tip of that spear was only this close to your neck.”

"..."

"Mo Zai, I can testify, he's telling the truth. You've escaped death again."

Mo Mo suddenly felt a chill run from his neck to his head. He almost lost his head before he lost consciousness.

"Why did you save me?" Mo Mo stopped abruptly after asking the question. "I think I asked a really stupid question."

Otto had absolutely no reason to do this, except for Kallen.

I take back what I said earlier; that girl Karen doesn't seem to be much smarter than you.

“Then let me ask you a question too,” Otto said with a smile, looking at Mo Mo. “Do you know why I came here?”

"So, you want to take me away from here?" Mo Mo cautiously observed Otto's expression and asked tentatively.
