Huang Hao was wandering aimlessly in the wasteland. Why wasn't he at the concert? Simple, he was lost.

Huang Hao: "Damn it, I should have asked that uncle for directions earlier. It's my first time here, I don't know the way at all!"

"But I've been walking for so long and I'm not hungry at all. It's either the Imaginary Tree messing with me, or this fire. Why are you bothering me?"

Seeing that searching for the way was fruitless, Huang Hao simply lay on the ground and pondered the use of this fire.

Huang Hao thought about how, previously at the Imaginary Tree, it could materialize, be used to find the way, and even kill people. But it shouldn't be limited to just that; the blank space alone was already very powerful.

Huang Hao decided to try changing its form with his mind.

"So... how do I do that with my mind?"

Well, the first step stumped him.

Huang Hao stared at the fire in his hand and silently thought, Let's turn it into a Judah. After all, taking off, smashing heads, and firing a cannon is really cool.

As soon as he finished thinking, the flame quickly transformed into a Judah.

Huang Hao: "...Six. It seems as long as I say it, it can transform. Wait, does that mean I can turn it into a sentient robot?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the flame turned into a black cube robot and landed on the ground.

Huang Hao: "Awesome, hello there! Finally, I have a companion."

Robot: "."

Huang Hao: "Hello?"

Robot: "."

Huang Hao: "So this thing is useless then?"

Robot: "I can query, move, and answer."

Huang Hao: "..."

"Can you go back to being the initial flame?"

Robot: "Yes, I can transmit it directly to your brain."

Huang Hao: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Robot: "I have no memory, only guidance. Goodbye."

Afterward, the robot turned back into fire and returned to his hand, and he could no longer summon it. Huang Hao felt like cursing. But he still had to get going, so he just thought about it in his mind and continued on his way.

He didn't know how long it took before he reached the city. Huang Hao was deeply moved. He hadn't eaten or slept for days. Even though his body had been strengthened by the Imaginary Tree, he couldn't endure this kind of ordeal.

Huang Hao: "Finally! Security guard, please let me in."

Guard: "Please show your ID."

Huang Hao: "? Sir, you know there's a Honkai outbreak outside, right?"

Guard: "I know."

Huang Hao: "I'm a victim, and the evidence was destroyed."

Guard: "Then you can't come in."

Huang Hao: "Please be understanding."

After Huang Hao finished speaking, he was met with a long silence.

Helpless, Huang Hao squatted at the entrance, thinking of a solution.

Is there no way to get in? Huang Hao thought of a solution. Right, this flame is so powerful, it shouldn't be difficult for me to forge an ID, right?

As soon as he finished speaking, an ID card popped out of his hand.

Huang Hao jumped up happily and immediately handed the ID to the guard.

The guard let Huang Hao in without even looking at it. Huang Hao was stunned: "Didn't you want to see my ID?"

Guard: "Yes."

"Then why didn't you look?"

Guard: "There are many people like you who forge IDs. Some even do it right in front of me. Then I just need to see them make it. A few thousand a month, why risk your life?"

Huang Hao: "Then what do you look at?"

Guard: "Professional integrity."

Huang Hao became enraged, literally. Black flames completely enveloped his body, and a sword materialized in his hand. He plunged the sword directly into the guard's chest. The guard didn't even have time to react before he died.

Huang Hao looked at his hand and thought, Sigh, this flame has even changed my psychology. I don't feel any burden killing someone. But I guess I can try out that space.

Huang Hao saw a white space from where he was looking at his hand. The guard was looking around.

Huang Hao looked at the corpse on the ground and the guard in the space: It seems only souls (or consciousness) from the past can enter.

Huang Hao summoned the black flames again and swallowed the corpse. He used the flames to summon the soul back. The flames transformed into a cube, and the guard was thrown out from inside.

Guard: "Huh? Where was that white place just now? Why am I lying on the ground?"

Huang Hao: "Oh, you had low blood sugar just now, so I gave you a little something sweet to eat."

Guard: "Oh, thank you, please come in."

Huang Hao walked in with a smile (a mischievous one), thinking that at this moment, no one except a cheater could beat him (he felt pretty good about himself). He then entered the city.

After entering the city, Huang Hao looked around. The technological level of Honkai Impact 3rd and the Previous Civilization was much better than Earth's original level.

Huang Hao found someone and asked about the concert: "Excuse me, where is the concert?"

Bystander: "The concert, Eden's?"

Huang Hao nodded.

"It ended several days ago. You're too late."

"Huh?" So I wasted a chance to see Kevin? Huang Hao thought to himself.

After thanking the bystander, he found a nearby hotel and checked in. (Don't ask where the money came from? Just assume Honkai Energy can do anything.)

Huang Hao began planning at the hotel desk. I know that if I kill someone, I can be teleported to that space. So why not just kill everyone and send them all to that space?

Huang Hao began to experiment. He ran downstairs and caught a few bugs. In the end, he discovered that the space was too small, and it wasn't based on the size of the object, but the quantity. Moreover, as Otto said, the world allows consciousness to match new vessels, but it doesn't allow vessels to collect dissipated consciousness. One must kill them personally with fire; otherwise, the fire cannot collect the consciousness.

Huang Hao laughed. I'm going to be like Otto now. "Despicable, I will bring you to the grave; light, will extend to the future because of you." You know, this is quite exciting. I wonder if my heart can handle it.

It's time to act.
