Where's the promised Third Honkai?!!

She looked at the little skirt in Fu Li's hand: "And this is?"

"A D-rank item, a spatial equipment with storage functions."

Fu Li gave a rough introduction to the Fourth-Dimensional Skirt's effects—how when a beautiful girl (limited edition) wore it, the underside of the skirt would transform into a spherical three-meter-radius extradimensional storage space, along with that hazy artistry of seeing yet not seeing.

"No risk of flashing—awesome!" Kiana's little face lit up. She eagerly took the skirt and held it up to herself, then turned to him with a look of disgust: "Using words like 'artistry' to describe a girl's skirt—you really are as gross as ever!"

"What's this called? Look! What's this called? Kicking the donkey after it's done its work! Ingratitude! Xiang Yu inviting Liu Bang!" Fu Li wasn't about to indulge her now: "And this thing is only lent to you temporarily. Once the job's done, you have to give it back."

"Don't make it sound so harsh, Classmate A Li~ Look, the skirt's already been worn by me. What use would it be for you to take it back? How about doing a good deed and letting me keep it, like a fart in the wind?"

"Who says it's useless? As a certified top-tier pervert personally verified by Miss Kiana herself, collecting a beautiful girl's worn skirt is perfectly normal."

"Brother, don't be like that." Kiana made a half-hearted attempt to stop him.

"Sister, I can't help it." Fu Li replied with fake tears.

A moment later, both of them gagged from the disgust.

Chapter 31: "I Call This Efficiency"

On the quiet ring road in the dead of night, under the streetlights, the two of them stared at each other after finishing their gagging.

"Hey, turn around first~"

The white-haired girl holding the skirt wore a bashful expression.

"Fine."

Fu Li didn't waste words. He turned and headed for the blinking vending machine by the roadside.

Seeing this, Kiana let out a slight sigh of relief.

She sat down on the freezing cold curb of early spring, just about to take off her tattered thigh-high stockings, when she saw him come back.

"You! What are you doing!"

"Got any coins in your pocket?"

"Come on, do I look like I do?" Kiana reached into her pants pocket, and her fair little hand poked straight through the hole. "Besides, just use a bill? I want to drink MAX Coffee!"

Fu Li's face was expressionless: "It already ate one of my Yukichi Fukuzawas."

"Then use Tokiwadai's legendary 45-Degree Repair Method to make it spit it out!" Kiana spun and kicked her leg, stylishly passing the technique on to him. "Go on, go on. I'm about to change skirts, so no peeking!"

"Don't be too confident in yourself."

"Nyah nyah, you can't tell me what to do!"

She stuck her tongue out at the boy's back, then continued with her skirt-changing mission.

After taking off her stockings, she was just about to swap out her shorts when she saw Fu Li rushing back again.

"You you you you you!"

The girl was genuinely red now, whether from embarrassment or anger.

"Someone's around!"

Fu Li's tone was serious. Kiana raised an eyebrow, and though her mouth was sharp, her body was honest as she put her stockings back on. Then she followed his gaze to the night sky.

Stars glittered brightly, the moon was sparse, and the stars were few.

There was a red dot—a drone.

"Should we shoot it down?"

The girl stood up and moved to Fu Li's side, whispering in his ear.

"You don't even have a gun. What are you gonna shoot it with?"

"Oh, right! Then use that energy flying sword—"

"Shadow Blade."

"Then use Shadow Blade to shoot it down?"

"It's not impossible, but the problem is I don't know how much its owner has already recorded."

The two had indeed relocated after the battle, but they were only seven or eight kilometers from the previous battlefield.

If the drone's owner had captured footage of the earlier fight, who knew what kind of trouble that would stir up.

"So that's what you're worried about."

Kiana understood.

"Judging by Miss Qi's tone, it sounds like you have a way to solve this tricky problem?"

"Hehe, call me Great Sage Kiana!"

"Great Sage, save me!"

"Such a henpecked guy—definitely gonna be whipped by his wife someday!"

Kiana took out the pendant from under her collar and handed it over with full confidence.

"What's this?"

Fu Li reached out and took it. The object still carried the girl's body heat and a faint, subtle fragrance.

"A curiosity: Photography Death!"

The white-haired puffball declared smugly.

Curiosities—mysterious objects that harbored the power of the collapse side.

Unlike tools that followed certain physical laws, the effects of curiosities were always unconstrained and untraceable.

Simply put, tools played by the rules; curiosities didn't.

As for how they formed—first, thank nature's wonders;

second, don't ask. If you must, the answer is: Collapse.

Fu Li was intrigued: "So what does this Photography Death do?"

"Once activated, if someone tries to film from the shadows during a fight, both combatants will be compelled to beat up that third party!"

Kiana tilted her head, thought for a moment, then decided a live demonstration would be better.

She folded her Fourth-Dimensional Skirt and tucked it into the intact pocket of her top. Activating Photography Death, she lightly tapped Fu Li with the Galaxy Bat. Then Fu Li watched helplessly as the bat abandoned him, its primary target, and dragged Kiana purposefully in another direction.

"Hurry up and follow!"

Kiana called over her shoulder, quickening her pace as the bat pulled her along.

"Got it."

Fu Li used Void Step to follow, leaving behind a fleeting Azure Lotus at his starting point.

The drone's owner remained blissfully unaware, piloting the device to track these two Collapse superhumans relentlessly.

Until they barged into an abandoned house, until a golden-haired, golden-eyed beauty entered the drone's frame.

The drone's owner blinked, finding the girl vaguely familiar.

Until the moonlight before her was blocked by two figures—one tall, one not-so-short—and the beauty looking up at them finally realized.

—Oh! That person is me!

'Bang!'

Fu Li withdrew his fist, his other arm wrapping around the girl's waist as he gently laid her flat on the ground.

The move was called the Avada Kedavra Fist, originating from a bubble world of brutal martial wizards, a signature technique of the Buddha Demon Emperor, a dominant force among dark wizards.

This fist technique had deep potential, but with Fu Li's current strength, he couldn't unleash its full form—only achieving a numbing effect (physical).

The effect was outstanding. The girl didn't even react; her eyes rolled back, and she was out cold.

Kiana, who had entered with him, skillfully rummaged through the girl's backpack.

She shook it hard three times, and out fell a diary.

"No way! Who even keeps a diary these days?"

Kiana Cat's face was full of shock, but then Fu Li snatched the notebook away.

"Don't read other people's diaries."

He said very seriously, then pulled a silver metal rod from his chest—twenty centimeters long, covered in various bumps, with a rather suggestive shape.

[Name: Memory Eraser]

[Grade: D]

[Category: Tool]

[Effect: Officially named the Neural Stylizer, designed for human memory cells.

Appearance: A silver-white metal rod. One side has three dials and a small screen for setting the time to erase—years, weeks, hours, and minutes respectively.

Once set, the mechanism extending from the top emits a white flash, erasing memories corresponding to the set time from anyone who looks directly at the white light within close range.

After erasure, there is a brief mental blank period. During this blank, new memories can be implanted via dialogue to replace the originals, or simple questions can be asked.

This item only works on humans or lifeforms with memory cells similar to humans. If the target has an internal energy cycle, it becomes completely ineffective.]

[Note: Don't be misled! Physical amnesia doesn't count as amnesia!]

Fu Li briefly explained the Memory Eraser's function to Kiana. The girl's gaze toward him instantly turned wolfish: "Isn't that worse than reading a diary? So you told me not to read it just because you didn't want to waste time?"

"I call it efficiency."

Fu Li calmly bent down, pried open the golden-haired girl's eyelid, and pressed the Memory Eraser's switch with his other hand.

A white flash passed, and the girl quickly "woke up."

She stood upright, respectfully facing Fu Li. The only difference from before was the lack of light in her eyes.

"Name?"

"Susanna."

"Identity?"

"Schicksal Valkyrie trainee."

"Purpose for coming to the Far East?"

"To visit the Far East branch and decide whether to enroll at St. Freya Academy."

"Then why are you here?"

"The family jewelry business has saturated, and we're preparing to enter the international construction industry. Yae Village has an advantageous geographical location, so I came along to survey it."

"In the middle of the night?"

"I arrived in the afternoon, but I forgot to tell the taxi driver to wait. By the time I came to my senses, it was already dark, and I was trapped here with no way back."

"Pfft hahahaha! What a unlucky airhead?"

Kiana, curled up nearby, couldn't hold back her laughter.

Fu Li shot her a glance: "Go change your clothes!"

"No way!" Kiana declared with conviction. "What if you do something to this Susanna while I'm not around? I have to keep an eye on you!"

Susanna had a great figure—slender waist, long legs, curves in all the right places. The key point was that she was also pretty, and now she wore a vacant, dazed expression as if she'd let anyone do anything to her. An ordinary man really would struggle to hold himself back.

Chapter 32: "Praise of High Morality"

Susanna had a great figure—slender waist, long legs, curves in all the right places. The key point was that she was also pretty and young, and now she wore a vacant, dazed expression as if she'd let anyone do anything to her. An ordinary man really would struggle to hold himself back.

That was exactly what Kiana thought, so she crossed her legs, propped her chin on her hand, and sat nearby, ready to catch him in the act at any moment.

"Fine, fine, whatever you say, whatever you say."

Fu Li couldn't be bothered with her. He thought to himself, In the last cycle, I could hold myself back even against you yourself. What's a mere Susanna?
