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

Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed he should be able to leave the corridor.

But when Xia Yuan pushed open the door at the corner of the corridor, there was no way out to the outside world. Instead, there was a staircase that kept going down.

The moment Xia Yuan opened the door.

The torches on both sides of the staircase were lit in unison, and the candlelight illuminated the steps leading to the lower level.

clatter--

clatter--

clatter......

It was very quiet around me, except for the sound of my footsteps on the steps.

When Xia Yuan stepped into the lower level, he felt a sense of déjà vu and familiarity as he looked at the corridor in front of him.

Why is it still a corridor at the end of the stairs?

The layout and style of this corridor....

Hadn't I already been here? Could it be that I haven't left the same corridor? But compared to when I first arrived, there are clearly some changes in the area around the corridor.

Was there this photo album of Vilvie on the wall when I first entered the corridor?

Xia Yuan moved closer to the photo album hanging on the wall.

The album, which was supposed to contain self-portraits, is so blurry that it's impossible to see Vilvie's face clearly in the photos.

[Xia Yuan, of course not! This is nothing, it's still a long way off. Hmm, let me think... I guess I'll need to repeat this about 108 more times to escape from Vilvie's Spiral Corridor~]

"........"

【Xiao Xia Yuan~】

[Miss Pink Fairy has some good news and some bad news. Which would you like to hear first?]

"Don't whine, just get to the point."

[Hmph, Xia Yuan, if you keep going like this, no girl will ever like you!]

【Then let this merciful and adorable fairy tell you the good news first, Xia Yuan. My Hero Detector shows that Wilvie is not far ahead.】

What kind of good news is this...?

The bad news is that Velvi is in the corridor ahead, and our path to the next floor is blocked.

Thinking about it that way...

Compared to bad news, this is probably good news, right?

"You don't need to tell me, little Ellie, I've already seen Miss Wilvi..."

Xia Yuan had already noticed the end of the corridor. Wilvi appeared at the end of the corridor, but she had her head down, so Xia Yuan could not see Wilvi's expression or state at this moment.

"Little Ellie...is something wrong with Wilvie right now?"

Xia Yuan felt that something was off about Wilvi at this moment, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. With these questions in mind, he asked Fairy Ellie.

[Is there? Is there? Let me see~ Is it a young girl's shyness, or is it just her bashfulness?]

[Fairy Airi is creating a virtual projection, please wait...]

Just as Xia Yuan was patiently waiting for the fairy Airi...

thump——

"Hmm? What's that sound? It sounds like it's coming from inside the corridor walls."

The corridors on both sides are changing.

The corridor, which had been stretching endlessly to its end, was rapidly closing in on Xia Yuan. In the blink of an eye, the distance between Vilvie and Xia Yuan had shrunk from an estimated 100 meters to 5 meters.

Faced with the sudden change in the corridor...

With a range of only five meters, at such a close distance, there was no way to dodge.

Xia Yuan wanted to retreat, but there was no way to retreat behind him.

Chapter 81 High-Energy Warning

The wall blocked Xia Yuan's way behind him, and the stairs and gear-shaped door he had just come down from had long since disappeared.

Velvi slowly raised her head.

With her mouth slightly open, she reached out her fair hand towards Xia Yuan, seemingly wanting to gently stroke his cheek, as if she had something important to say to him. But the next second, her outstretched hand fell awkwardly to her side.

"Mr. Xia Yuan...run!"

But Xia Yuan still understood what Wilvi was trying to say.

at this time.

A strange smile appeared on Wilvi's lips as she leaned down and kissed Xia Yuan's hand.

"I really have to thank you, my dearest guest. Thank you for allowing me to take advantage of your vulnerability and seize the initiative. Please enjoy the prison I have built for you."

Struggle to your heart's content in this endless loop called the "Spiral Corridor." As a reward, after I've dealt with all the other personalities, I will cherish you, Mr. Xia Yuan, and treasure you as my greatest work ever.

Suddenly, Virvi covered her head with both hands.

"Shut up, all of you! You think you can stop me? I've waited so long for this moment, for so many years, I've lost count. Fine, let you experience my pain too!"

She'll be free soon!

Vervi's figure began to blur and disappear before Xia Yuan's eyes.

[Xia Yuan, it's only been a day! What did you do to offend Wilvie that caused her worst personality to surface?!]

Little Ellie, don't slander my innocence out of thin air!

How would I know...? At most, I only chatted with Vilvie's main personality for a few minutes in the consciousness space. As for why things turned out this way, I think it's definitely related to your strange romance strategy chip, Little Ellie!

[Hmph, Miss Pink Fairy's chip won't have any problems!]

But perhaps feeling a little guilty, Fairy Ellie still checked the chip's records.

Hmm... It seems that the main personality of Velvi has become somewhat lax, allowing the evil personality to take advantage of the situation and compete with other personalities for control of the body.

But even extreme emotional fluctuations...

It shouldn't have allowed the extremely evil personality sealed within the consciousness space to escape, until the fairy Ellie saw that bowl of rich mushroom soup.

[Xia Yuan, I've found the root of the problem~]

The Amazing Discipline Mushroom

[Growing in the greenhouse of the dying fire, and having spent a long time by the side of the disciplined vegetable, it has also acquired the ability of discipline, and can have varying degrees of mental influence on people.]

[Red umbrella, white pole, after eating, everyone lies down on the board. —Greshuin]

Are these the mushrooms that little Greta picked before?

In short, we must get Xia Yuan to stop her before her extremely evil personality takes over. Otherwise, if the extremely evil personality gains control of Vilvie and accidentally activates the self-destruct mechanism of Paradise, the entire Paradise of the Past could be destroyed, turning into a spectacular fireworks display.

Xia Yuan silently clenched his fist.

Several minutes had passed since [Extreme Evil] Velvi disappeared from sight.

Every extra minute...

The other personalities of Wilvie are in greater danger, so we must find Miss Wilvie as soon as possible.

The passageway of the corridor.

As [Extreme Evil] Velvi left, the oil lamps on the wall went out one by one.

"Ellie, what should I do?"

[It seems we can't let Xia Yuan continue walking the corridor 108 times according to the rules. We need to find a special shortcut to reach the unreachable other side and reality within this spiral corridor.]

"A special shortcut?"

[Yes, Xia Yuan, did you see the Velvi photo album hanging on your wall?]

【Take it with you~】

[In the spiral corridor, search for things related to Velvi. The more things you find, the deeper your connection with Velvi's consciousness will be, and the faster you can reach Velvi's location. However, doing so often comes with certain risks.]

What kind of risks?

[Hmm...it might trigger the safety mechanisms of the Spiral Corridor, like ghosts floating around, or portraits suddenly tilting, or ethereal piano music...hmm...something like a supernatural phenomenon?]

"Why did it turn from an escape spiral corridor into a horror adventure game?!"

[Xia Yuan, don't be afraid, Ai Li will be with you. If you get scared and cry, Ai Li will comfort you~]

Xia Yuan did not respond.

Silently, she picked up the photo album about Wilvi hanging on the wall.

[Vilvie's Self-Portrait]

【Important props】

[Collection Progress: 1/8]

For some reason, the photo album was covered in messy graffiti, making the portraits blurry.

No matter how many challenges await him in the corridor ahead, he is determined to rescue Velvi.

The matter started with me, and it will end with me.

【Very good, Xia Yuan, it seems you've made up your mind. Then quickly grab the oil lamp from the table next to you, cross the corridor ahead, and defeat the wicked Wilvie!】

Xia Yuan carried the oil lamp that was placed on the table on one side of the corridor.

The soft yellow light illuminated Xia Yuan's surroundings, dispelling the gloom deep in the corridor.

The oil lamp that never goes out

[An oil lamp with an exterior made of gears, it will never go out no matter what happens~]

[Hmm...such an exquisite gear structure must have been made by Sister Velvi; I feel it could fetch a good price. —Padofelis]

“Little Ellie, this corridor looks like a horror movie scene... Do you think [Extreme Evil] Velvet might suddenly jump out and attack us?”

Xia Yuan carried an oil lamp and walked down the quiet corridor.

Hmm... probably not?

[The extremely evil personality should be busy taking over the consciousness of the other personalities right now, so they shouldn't have time to come and scare you, Xia Yuan, unless... cough cough, besides, if a pretty girl like Wilvie comes to scare us, shouldn't Xia Yuan feel... um, a certain degree of excitement?]

"Unless something..."

"Please, Ellie, explain yourself clearly. This is only making things more frightening, okay?"

"Xia Yuan, look! It looks like someone is waving to us from the window in the corridor ahead."

After hearing what the fairy Ellie said...

Xia Yuan tensed up immediately and shone the oil lamp he was holding toward the window as much as possible. With the help of the dim light, he could not see anyone loitering outside the window, but the fact that there was no one outside made Xia Yuan even more nervous.

"Little Ellie, don't scare me..."

Hmm... Just now outside the window, there was definitely someone waving at us. Judging from the figure, it looked like... Velvi!

Chapter 82 features the legendary Scythe Girl~

But when Xia Yuan looked out the window... Virvi's figure mysteriously disappeared again.

Xia Yuan didn't think that Xiao Ai Li would play tricks on him in such a tense atmosphere, which meant that there really was a figure of Wilvi passing by the window just now.

Xia Yuan went to the window in the corridor to find out what was going on.

The fog was thick, obscuring the view outside the window.

Xia Yuan tried to push the window, but it seemed to be sealed shut and wouldn't budge.

[Hey... Little Xia Yuan, look closely, there's a handprint left on the edge of the window!]

A faint handprint quietly appeared.

Xia Yuan felt...

Perhaps [Extremely Evil] Velvi wanted to discourage her from moving forward in this way.

But my will will not waver.
