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

"Aunt Wilvie... Brother Xia Yuan... Gretchen is a little sleepy..."

Gretchen's casual remark sparked a wicked idea deep within Velvet's heart.

"Mr. Wolf, your Little Red Riding Hood is about to leave you. What will happen to you then, Mr. Wolf, without Little Red Riding Hood by your side to protect you?"

Vilvi's whispers, like those of a big bad wolf, lingered deep within Xia Yuan's heart.

"Gresh, how about your older sister Velvet takes you to your bedroom to sleep?"

Velvi slowly stood up, walked to Gretsch, and smiled as she spoke to her.

"Eh....."

I have this feeling that Aunt Wilvi has a big, fluffy gray wolf tail growing out of her back. Maybe I'm just too sleepy?

"What should we do about Brother Xia Yuan who is lying on the floor?"

For some reason, Gretchen felt that Xia Yuan, lying on the floor, looked incredibly helpless...

"Little Greta, don't worry about your wolf brother, I'll take care of him~"

"Is it handled properly?"

Upon hearing Wilvi's words, Xia Yuan's body trembled...

Let's assume that little Greta isn't with him.

Facing Velvi, the fifth-ranked Fire Chaser, I felt like a lamb in wolf's clothing. I was sure Velvi would devour me when she returned. No, I couldn't let little Gretsch leave.

Just as Xia Yuan was about to speak...

But I found that I couldn't make a sound no matter what I did... A tingling, numb sensation spread through my body. Could it be that the cabbage or mushroom soup contained toxins that were numbing my body?!

"Goodnight, Brother Xia Yuan~ Have a pleasant evening with both you and Aunt Wilvi~"

Little Greta, carrying "Miss Pink Cabbage," came to Xia Yuan and said innocently.

"Waaaaah... Little Gretchen, come back soon. If you leave, your Xia Yuan brother will have one last agonizing night."

Xia Yuan wanted to speak to persuade Little Gretchen to stay, but he couldn't utter a sound at all.

Beside her, Velvi gently patted Gretsch's shoulder and turned to leave with Gretsch. But the moment she turned and met Xia Yuan's gaze, the corners of Velvi's mouth turned up, revealing a meaningful, wicked smile.

After putting little Gretchen to sleep, she will enjoy her meal.

Whether it was his imagination or not, after Velvi turned around, Xia Yuan saw a strange wolf tail appear behind her, swaying back and forth as she walked.

Oh, lovely human, I never imagined that in the end, you were the real Little Red Riding Hood, and the real Big Bad Wolf was actually the deeply hidden Velvet!

"Little Ellie, save... never mind, don't save her..."

[Hmm~ That's more like it! Cute Little Red Riding Hood can just lie quietly on the floor and be eaten by the big bad wolf when he comes.]

Aside from making fun of himself, Xia Yuan couldn't find any other valuable help from the "Guiding Ai Li" function.

Hmph, who said that!

[Cleansing toxins from the adorable human body...]

at the same time.

Vivi was tenderly covering little Greta with a thin blanket.

But for some reason, little Gretchen felt that Aunt Velvet now had a pair of big, furry gray wolf ears on her head.

"My dear little Gretchen, go to sleep now~"

Just as Velvet was about to turn off the lights and leave to visit Mr. Xia Yuan, who was lying motionless on the living room floor, Gretchen's small hand grabbed the extra big gray wolf tail behind Velvet in time.

Hmm... it wasn't a hallucination after all.

It seems like Aunt Wilvi really has grown a big bad wolf's tail?

As expected, Greta was still too sleepy...

“Aunt Wilvi... Mother Aponia would tell Gretsch bedtime stories while she was sleeping.”

Greta leaned against the headboard.

Holding the "Pink Cabbage Girl" in his arms, he looked at Velvi expectantly.

"Hmm... tell a story? Let Sister Wilvi think about it~"

When she saw the small blanket covering Gretchen, Velvet had an idea.

"Then, how about Sister Velvi tells little Gretchen a story about her blanket companion?"

Since ancient times, blankets have been man's best friend. Every time night falls, blankets silently protect their little owners and drive away the many ghosts around them.

As Vervies continued her storytelling, little Gretchen drifted off into a sweet dream.

Vilvi put away the pocket watch that she had been using to induce hypnosis.

Now that no one would bother her, she had to deal with Mr. Xia Yuan, who was lying motionless on the floor.

"Dear Mr. Xia Yuan, I'm coming!"

But when Wilvi skipped into the hall, she found that Xia Yuan was not lying in his original spot.

"Hmm? It's not in the same spot anymore. Has the neurotoxin in its body lessened?"

However, none of this mattered to Miss Wilvi.

Little Red Riding Hood could never escape the clutches of the Big Bad Wolf, and the exhilarating chase only heightened Wilvi's excitement.

"Let me see where you are?"

A compass made of gears appeared in Vilvi's hand.

"My dear Mr. Xia Yuan, you'd better hide well~ Don't let me find you. The game will be more interesting if it lasts longer."

Xia Yuan hid under the sofa.

He covered his mouth tightly with both hands to prevent himself from making a sound. Now, Velvi was standing in front of him, and from this angle, Xia Yuan could clearly see the long boots Velvi was wearing.

It appears Miss Wilvi is sitting on the sofa...

The sofa wasn't solid; Xia Yuan could clearly feel the strange texture and weight emanating from above.

"Miss Wilvi, you should lose weight!"

As expected, scientists are all the same. Xia Yuan sensed the unique aura of Dr. Mebius in Vervier, a suffocating feeling of being watched by a creature at the top of the food chain.

A long time passed.

Just as Xia Yuan could no longer hold on, the sound of Velvet's boots clicking on the floor echoed in his ears, fading into the distance. The pressure emanating from the sofa disappeared, indicating that Velvet had left the living room.

Don't stay here for long.

He had to escape from Wilvi's house or find the bedroom where little Gretchen was sleeping as soon as possible.

Using his arms for support, Xia Yuan slowly crawled out from under the sofa, step by step.

"My dear guest, where would you like to go?"

Before Xia Yuan could even peek out, Vilvi's voice came from beside him like a ghost.

Upon hearing the whispers, Xia Yuan's heart stopped.

Xia Yuan didn't want to turn around and see Wilvi's mocking expression; he only had one thought in his mind right now.

That is to escape.

Xia Yuan surveyed the exits within his line of sight, and after confirming the route, he rushed towards the corridor outside the living room as quickly as possible.

"Run away, run away as much as you want, that's what makes it interesting, the real excitement is about to begin!"

In Vilvi's hand was a compass with a gear mechanism. The arrow of the compass changed after Xia Yuan left the living room, pointing to the location where Xia Yuan had just fled.

Velvi took a small step back, her boots landing on a single floor tile.

The gears inside the walls were turning, and the room underwent a dramatic transformation, constantly rotating and changing its original position.

Xia Yuan was still running forward in the corridor.

Escape from the Gear House in Velvi

[Game Type: Escape Room]

[Success Penalty: None]

[Reward for failure: A sweet and blissful night spent with Velvi~]

Before Xia Yuan could even catch his breath, he was amused and annoyed by the prompt from [Guiding Ellie]. He knew that Ellie, who had helped him detoxify his body, had ulterior motives!

【Cute humans? I'm nothing like that~】

Xia Yuan ignored Xiao Ai Li's coquettishness, leaned against the wall of the corridor, and recovered from the physical exhaustion caused by the excessive running. But wasn't the corridor in front of him a bit too long?

What awaits Xia Yuan in the depths of the dark corridor...?

Chapter 80: High Alert Ahead!

We ran for a long time...

Throughout the entire journey, Xia Yuan never saw the end of the corridor.

It felt like every step he took was just standing still in the corridor; Xia Yuan always seemed to be behind him...

Vilvi had been secretly following him, observing him. When he turned around, there was no one behind him. An indescribable feeling of unease lingered in Xia Yuan's heart and could not be dispelled.

[Miss Pink Fairy is requesting a call....]

[Hi, Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan, can you hear me? Haven't seen you all day? Have you missed Miss Pink Fairy?]

Upon hearing the voice of the fairy Airi...

Xia Yuan patted his chest. The corridor was so dark and secluded, and then Ai Li's voice had startled him so suddenly; his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would stop beating...

"What else can I do at night? Am I supposed to tell Little Ellie that I'm in a corridor with gears on both sides of the walls that's even more gloomy and terrifying than a haunted house, and that if I'm not careful, Miss Wilvi will catch me and eat me up from behind?"

Xia Yuan's tone revealed a hint of resentment.

[Oh dear, Xia Yuan, you didn't even invite Miss Pink Fairy to this fun event! That's so unfair! Don't you consider Miss Pink Fairy your best friend?]

A hint of emotion flickered in the fairy Ellie's voice, expressing her unhappiness.

"Then can I treat you, little Ellie, as the best food?"

No! Absolutely not! Cute fairies aren't food!

[Hmph, but as long as you comfort me and praise me, Xia Yuan, this responsible and understanding pink fairy lady might be able to help you escape the spiral corridor built by Vilvie~]

For example... call her "Alicia-neechan" and let me hear it~

Fairy Airi stood with her hands on her hips, looking as proud as a little princess.

"Alright, my dearest sister Alicia, hurry up and save your adorable little brother Xia Yuan from this corridor."

In this deep, spiraling corridor, every extra second spent there brings an indescribable sense of discomfort.

Just now.

Before Xia Yuan's eyes, arrows [↑][↑][↓][↓] appeared in the straight corridor ahead.

[Hmm~ It seems the guidance module isn't damaged. Xia Yuan, hurry and follow the arrows. My Yingjie detection device tells me that Wilvi is slowly approaching your location and is expected to arrive in about a minute.]

Why do you have such strange detection equipment, little Ellie?

never mind....

Now is not the time to dwell on these issues; the most urgent task is to get out of this almost infinitely extending spiral corridor as soon as possible.

Xia Yuan followed the arrow that the fairy Ellie had pointed to.

now.

The once deep and straight corridor gradually changed, revealing all its corners.

Xia Yuan seemed somewhat pleased and quickened his pace slightly as he reached the corner of the corridor. However, just in case, Xia Yuan did not let his guard down and quietly peeked out, using the corner of his eye to survey the general situation behind the corner.

After all, no one can imagine what might appear around the corner of the corridor.

Suicide bombers... Honkai Beasts... or is it that Miss Velvet, like a big bad wolf, is happily waiting around the corner for Little Red Riding Hood to walk right into her trap?

Before Xia Yuan's eyes appeared an artistically designed gate with constantly rotating gears.

Upon seeing the door...
