Honkai Impact 3rd, Paradise Typewriter isn't for making this kind of game.

How to recover?

Xia Yuan pressed on urgently, not wanting to be called "Mr. Foot-Gnawing" anymore; "Brother Xia Yuan" sounded much better.

"This gentleman who likes to gnaw on my feet, don't you remember the compensation I promised you?"

"?!"

Lying on the ground, Xia Yuan stared blankly at the pair of small feet stretched towards his mouth. He could barely believe that Gretchen had stretched them out to regain consciousness... but what did Snake mean by stretching out her feet too?

"Little mouse, eat up! If you're not full, I have more!"

Mebius's slightly mocking voice echoed in his ears as he looked at the two feet, one big and one small, sticking out to his mouth. "I'm telling you, you guys are really something else. How could this weird method possibly bring little Grey back?"

"I'm sure this is the memory she never fulfilled."

"Little lab rat, the return of consciousness naturally involves many factors. Maybe if you just nibble on it, little Greta will come back. If you're shy, you can practice on mine first~"

Is this something he can practice on? He was truly at a loss for words.

As an honorary shareholder of the Principles Studio, how could he possibly accept such handouts? "Dr... Doctor, can you refuse? I'm sure there are other solutions!"

"My dear little lab mouse, this is no longer your choice~"

But Dr. Möbius didn't care about any of that. There was no reason for the lab rats to run away once they were in her mouth. Her experiment had already begun, and they had to eat them today, whether they wanted to or not.

"Ugh...ugh? Ugh!!!"

After suffering such torment, Gretchen and Mebius's little toes seemed to have a trace of glistening saliva remaining on them; they had been thoroughly stained and could never go back to their original state...

"How was it? Did it work?"

Chapter 710 Fulfilling Little Gretchen's Wish!

Big Gretchen shook her head. Even if she satisfied this man's fondness for gnawing on feet, it seemed to have little effect so far.

Available in the next second.

A faint voice echoed in her mind, "I really want to watch a spectacular movie with Brother Xia Yuan..."

"I think I heard her voice from the memory. The next step seems to be asking me to go see a movie with this gentleman?"

"A movie? Then let's get going, little lab rat!"

Observing and recording this unexpected experimental study will benefit her future recovery plan. The eerie green substance under Dr. Mebius's feet condensed into a snake's tail, directly enveloping Xia Yuan, who was paralyzed on the ground.

The three of them traveled together until they arrived at the nearest cinema, [Houmu Cinema].

From the current perspective, if Greta, who is a memory entity, is to recover, she needs as much emotional stimulation as possible. Therefore, the choice of film is undoubtedly crucial. Mebius originally planned to choose a movie about love for the two of them.

But a horror movie about a snake growing infinitely next to her made her unable to look away. Horror movies can enhance emotions just as much as other movies, and they are even more thrilling than other movies.

"Little lab rat, we'll only be using this one, you don't have any objections, right?"

What could he possibly object to? The girl's scent was still lingering in his mouth. If he weren't outmatched, he would have brought that wretched snake to justice. Hmph... He'd go find Mei and get justice for him when he got back!

Inside the movie theater—

"Waaah, little white mouse, the snake that suddenly appeared was so scary~" Mebius clung to his arm, pretending to be frightened.

"Oh, luckily I'm brave."

"Hmm? Little mouse, shouldn't you be holding me in your arms and comforting me right now?" She thought her disguise was flawless, both in her eyes and her actions, so why wasn't the little mouse fooled?

To this, he wanted to say: "Why does this old woman act so innocently like a virgin?"

But considering the extremely serious consequences this would cause, and what crazy things the enraged snake might do, he couldn't even imagine it, so he had no choice but to give up and eat the popcorn in his hand expressionlessly.

"Little mouse, you're not moving at all, it's so boring. If this continues, when will little Greta be able to turn back?"

But since Dr. Mebius was so eager to perform, he had no choice but to cooperate with his act.

"Okay, okay~ I'm still here, aren't I?"

He pulled Mebius into his arms. "Movies are all fake. Besides, no matter what happens, I'll protect you. Don't be afraid." His hand, which had been on her shoulder, moved to the snake's back, specifically the area seven inches from its back.

"A...white mouse?"

The sudden turn of events left her staring blankly at Xia Yuan, somewhat lost in thought.

Sitting on the other side, Big Gresh looked at the two people beside her with a hint of resentment in her eyes. Wasn't it supposed to be to switch bodies in order to fulfill the wishes of the memory? Who told you to take this charade so seriously!

I didn't watch many movies, but I was bombarded with displays of affection.

The man who loves to gnaw on feet—she doesn't yet know his color, but Aunt Mebius's dark green seems to subtly reveal a hint of passionate and unrestrained fiery red.

I really want to go to the claw machine with Xia Yuan.

Fortunately, Gretchen's wish flashed through her mind, and it seemed that her wish to see the movie had been fulfilled, although the process was somewhat tortuous. As a third party outside the movie theater, she couldn't help but cough a few times, interrupting the intimacy between the two.

"Ahem... You two are ready now, the next step is to play the claw machine."

After abruptly interrupting the performance, Mebius nimbly poked his head out and said, "Let's go, little white mouse, I'll take you to play something else fun." But when they arrived at their destination, instead of taking him and Gretchen to play, he himself was the first to run to the claw machine.

In a sense, he and Gretchen became the guardians of the snake.

Could it be that being shrunk for too long has caused him to retain his childlike innocence?

It's hard to imagine that this once mad scientist would now show the expression of a little girl when looking at a claw machine.

However, he didn't expect that there were also Mei, Yaya, and Qibao's dolls here. He didn't know if the bishop had paid him a fee for using his cute students' portraits, but he was sure they would like to take a few back with him.

"Little white mouse, come here quickly and teach me how to play."

Unable to catch the snake doll he wanted, Mebius urged the two behind him. Perhaps back in the previous civilization, they were always thinking about how to fight the Honkai, and probably wouldn't have time to waste on this.

"Actually, there's a trick to catching toys. Just pull the joystick like this, then aim it at the toy you want to catch and press the button."

Mebius rolled his eyes at the other person, clearly annoyed.

"Little lab rat, do you really think of me as a little girl? How could I not know this basic knowledge of operating machinery? If it were that simple, would I still be unable to catch the doll?"

"Mebius, which one do you want?"

"That dark, twisted snake doll in the corner, it's the only one that suits my taste." He raised his eyebrows slightly, the other person really knew how to pick, that snake doll in the corner was the hardest to catch, but that didn't stump him.

Helping Bronya catch the Houmu doll was much harder than this.

After easily finishing the task, he handed the snake doll he had caught to Mebius. Looking at the big Gretchen standing behind him, he seemed to have thought of something. He picked up a cabbage doll and put the headdress that little Gretchen had forgotten on it not long ago.

After dressing up a little, she walked up to Gretchen with her hands behind her back.

"Here, this [Cabbage Gretel] is for you."

Looking at the doll that looked remarkably like herself, she instinctively took it and hugged it to her chest. "Thank you, Mr. Foot-Gnawing Lover. I will cherish it."

"I'm happy if you like it, but I'd be even happier if you could remove the words 'biting feet'."

"No way, Mr. Xia Yuan who loves to gnaw on feet~"

She blinked, and the moment she received the doll, her memory of her past wish flashed through her mind once again: "I want to go on an adventure in a haunted house with Brother Xia Yuan!"

After receiving a plush toy, everyone strolled down the street, eating sweet crepes.

"Don't you feel like we're tourists with our kids?" He patted Möbius's little head.

"Little mouse, who's the child? Among the three of us, you're probably the youngest, aren't you?"

Chapter 711 Fairy Inn

Mebius had long lost his sense of age, while Gretchen the Elder spent tens of thousands of years in the hibernation chamber.

"If we really have to calculate it by age, it should be Gretsch and me taking you out to play, little white mouse."

"Alright, alright, whatever you say, Snake."

He affectionately patted the little snake's head; after all, the snake was still a tiny little thing.

Mebius felt her authority was being challenged, but for the sake of the snake doll and the crepes, she decided to let it go for the time being. "Hmph, you little white mouse, you've become just as annoying as Alicia."

Although he said he hated it, he still honestly stayed close to Xia Yuan, letting him rub the top of his head.

"Gresh, where do we go next?"

"It should be an adventure in a haunted house with my husband who loves to chew on toes."

We just finished watching a movie, and now we're going to explore a haunted house. I never expected that the usually well-behaved Gretchen would be so fond of seeking thrills.

Looking at Xia Yuan, who remained rooted to the spot, Möbius couldn't help but tease him in a childish voice:

"Little white mouse, why aren't you moving? Are you scared? Well, that makes sense. After all, there are many monsters in the haunted house, and they especially like to eat delicious little white mice like you."

Just kidding, how could he possibly be afraid?

In order not to be underestimated by Möbius, he stepped into the haunted house first, but the darkness around him was beyond his imagination.

"Little mouse, if you feel scared, just hold me tight." The haunted house is largely a maze, and in this situation, probably only Mebius's snake-like perception can see the surroundings clearly.

"Where to hug?"

"Where else could it be? Of course, it's the thinnest part of my entire body!"

After a moment—

In the dim space, the snake hissed with a resentful tone, "Little white mouse, I told you to put your arms around my waist, not to choke me!"

"I'm...sorry, it's too dark around here, I can only rely on my sense of touch, but isn't this the thinnest part of my body?"

The level of dislike the other party is now exactly the same as that of Alicia.

But perhaps because she was often teased by Alicia, so let her pinch her. As the eldest of the three, she should have a broad mind towards the younger generation. It's just a haunted house; she could walk out with her eyes closed.

But apart from the surrounding darkness, the journey through this haunted house was completely calm.

"Isn't this modern haunted house design a bit too lacking?"

It was utterly unsatisfying; she had had some expectations beforehand. Just as Möbius was feeling incredibly bored, a loudspeaker on a loop echoed in everyone's ears: "Lost people, please turn back now..."

"Ok?"

That voice... it sounds so familiar to her.

The moment the broadcast abruptly ended, her body involuntarily froze in place, seemingly preparing to turn around and return the way she came, but the white mouse behind her continued to move forward.

"This is the commandment of Aponia?!"

The precepts only achieve the result, but the way of the process... going back the way you came is leaving, but breaking out of the haunted house is also leaving in a sense.

"Little mouse, stop going forward!"

"Um, I want to stop too, but I can't control my body."

The two were forced to move back and forth. He could feel the snake's rapid breathing. This couldn't go on forever; something terrible would happen sooner or later. At this moment, the only one who could help him and Mebius was Gretchen behind them. He hoped that Gretchen hadn't been affected by the commandments.

"Gresch, have you been affected by the Commandments?"

"Aponia's commandments? I just plugged my ears, so I shouldn't have been affected."

Xia Yuan's face lit up with joy.

“Great! Could you come and help me separate Dr. Mebius? We just need to move one of us aside so we can pass each other. Once we leave the haunted house, the effects of the commandments should disappear.”

Grande Gretchen followed the sound to the source and came to their side.

There was a tearing sound—

His pants seemed to have been pulled down quite a bit. "Wait, Gretchen, I asked you to move us around, not to pull down my pants." Xia Yuan was panicking. Could it be that Gretchen was also under the influence of the commandments?

"Sorry, sir who likes to gnaw on feet, I accidentally slipped my hand just now."

After leaving the haunted house, he was drenched in cold sweat. It was far more thrilling than any movie. If Greta hadn't been there, he almost made another serious mistake.

"Congratulations on successfully completing the level, Mr. Xia Yuan. As a reward, you will have the opportunity to visit the Fairy Inn."

A tall figure was waiting for him not far away. Aponia was looking at him with a loving expression, holding a card in her hand and reading the contents of it word by word. Obviously, she was not good at doing this kind of thing, but after all, Ellie needed her help.

"Fairy Inn?"

Without a doubt, having Aponia stay here and influence the haunted house's operation with the Commandments, separating him from Dr. Mebius and Gretchen, must be the work of little Ellie secretly.

At this moment, a light rain began to fall from the sky.

“It seems this isn’t the place to talk, Mr. Xia Yuan. Please follow me.” Aponia led him to a hotel with a fountain, which appeared to have been built and put into use not long ago.

But Gretchen and Möbius are still outside...

As if sensing his concerns, Aponia reassured him in a kind voice, "Please don't worry, I will meet them after I lead you into the hotel."

Having completed her mission, Aponia took her leave.
