stare……

She's very angry right now.

In broad daylight, under the clear sky...

You two were being all lovey-dovey in front of so many people?

Is this really a good idea...?

Do you even respect me anymore?

While feeling somewhat annoyed, she also started brainstorming.

Should I try to find something to talk about?

Otherwise... I'd become a third wheel.

"What should we eat tonight?" Perhaps because she was in a bit of a hurry, Duck immediately blurted out this question after thinking of it.

However, she became nervous as soon as she said it.

After all... that sounds incredibly stupid...

Mo Li: "??"

"What? Is Duck Duck planning to cook for herself tonight?"

Bronya: "..."

"Never mind...you should go find Rita and Mei instead."

……

Meanwhile, Kiana continues to drive the game's storyline forward.

During their conversation, Eden and Aponia reiterated the keywords "key" and "truth."

Along with these two words, there are also "crystal flower" and "she".

At this point, the players were still unaware of the meaning of the [key], [truth], and [crystal flower].

But they could vaguely guess that "she" probably referred to Alicia...

In addition, it can be learned from their conversation that Aponia also sensed the enemy hiding in the shadows.

Now, Aponia intends to use her abilities once again to try to uncover the truth.

When she made this decision, her face actually showed an expression of "resolve to die"!

Just like Kevin back then.

Before risking her own life, she also gave the Crystal Flower to Gretchen.

Now is the time for Aponia to take action.

……

Upon seeing this, the players began to tense up.

However, the story abruptly ends here...

The perspective shifts back to Mei and the others.

This kind of narrative style is actually very easy to confuse people.

If you're not careful, it can give people the feeling of "What's going on? What's the meaning of this plot?"

Fortunately, because it's a game, the immersion is very strong, so players can still manage to keep up with the story.

……

"Very good~"

The story begins with the cat's very lively voice.

"I hereby declare that I have been completely cleared of suspicion. From now on, I will join the ranks of detectives and investigate the truth of this matter with you!"

"Mei-nee, next time you check my memories, please take me with you. I'm determined to prove that everyone is innocent."

Mei neither agreed nor refused: "I don't believe that other heroes would obediently wait here like this, letting us flip through their memories like turning the pages of a book."

The great magician, Velvet: "Then we'll see what you're capable of, our great detective!"

“However…” At this point, Velvi suddenly laughed, shifting her gaze to the other side: “Isn’t the other person who would never refuse this request already here?”

Mei and Pado turned their heads at the same time and saw Hua rushing over.

Hua, on the other hand, visibly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Mei.

"What's wrong, Hua? You don't look well." Mei had never seen Hua with such a serious expression before.

It's obvious that the situation is far from optimistic.

This made Mei instinctively tense up.

"A very serious situation has occurred, and I and..."

Before she could finish speaking, Velvi interrupted Hua with a smile: "Instead of speaking, I recommend that you use some tools, such as... this hat?"

Then, Velvet explained the function of the hat to Fu Hua.

However, Hua seemed somewhat hesitant.

“I understand your concerns, but… other leads have yielded no results, so we have no choice but to do this…”

Fu Hua only agreed after Mei spoke up.

"I... actually didn't intend to refuse, it's just that my memories are somewhat mixed and difficult to understand, would doing this really be useful?"

Looking at the three people in front of her, Fu Hua felt very complicated.

They were once trusted partners, but the shadows of reality have created an irreparable rift between them.

Suspicion and questioning became a shadow lingering between everyone.

Hua: "...I understand."

In the end, Hua chose to believe in Vervi.

Pado also accompanied Mei into Hua's memories.

The first thing the two saw was the scene after the battle of the Seventh Herrscher of the previous civilization.

Afterwards, they saw Hua and Alicia discussing Mei's Herrscher identity in Paradise.

In the previous civilization, the appearance of the [Herrscher] represented the beginning of loss.

The Herrscher is the common enemy of all humanity.

This was a consensus among all people in the previous civilization.

Before Mei arrived in Paradise, the heroes clearly held the same idea.

It wasn't until later, after spending more time together, that they reluctantly accepted Mei.

Although she is a Herrscher, she stands on the side of humanity and fights for humanity.

As long as she fights for humanity, her "identity" becomes irrelevant.

This memory shows that, at that time, Mei was at least recognized by Hua and Alicia.

However, Mei doesn't care about any of that now.

Her gaze was fixed on the pink figure, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"call……"

He took a deep breath: "We won't find any more clues here. Let's move on."

Pado pursed her lips, nodded, and followed Mei.

Afterwards, the two finally arrived at the night before Alicia disappeared.

Unsurprisingly, Hua did not have any interaction with Alicia on this day.

Naturally, she was completely cleared of suspicion.

Mei breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave with Pado when the surrounding scenery suddenly turned dim and distorted, like melting snow.

"Mei-nee! What... what's going on?" The sudden change made Pado extremely nervous.

Mei: "It should be... deeper memories are surfacing from the depths of Hua's consciousness."

When the surrounding scenery finally calmed down, the two were surprised to find that the scene around them had now transformed into Möbius's laboratory.

Judging from the chaotic traces around him, Mebius must have gone through an exceptionally difficult battle here.

Mei frowned and followed the owner of the memory, Hua, deeper into the laboratory.

When they pushed open a dilapidated door and saw the scene inside... both Hua, who was at the time, and Mei, who was peering into her memories, couldn't help but feel their hearts pounding wildly.

They saw—Mébius's…corpse.

Pado, who followed closely behind, also witnessed this incredibly terrifying scene.

"What……"

The ground was shattered, and the remains of Mebius floated in the black mud.
