Alicia is dead; Alicia is dead
……
P.S.: Okay, I admit I slacked off for two days.
I don't even dare to look at the comments section anymore.
Chapter 288 No way, could the murderer be Sakura?
The archives revealed many investigation sites.
Every time Mei clicks on a survey, lines of text appear on the screen.
These densely packed characters lingered in everyone's minds like a spell.
Accompanied by the game's suspenseful music.
This scene was enough to send chills down one's spine.
【Aaaaaaahhhhhh…】
[Otto...you're a fucking devil QAQ]
[I know... I know Ellie is dead, but please don't do this...]
[Otto isn't a devil, this is fucking fried dough!]
When this string of words appeared, I felt a sense of suffocation...
【Aili... my Aili, waaaaah...】
Am I watching a horror movie? QAQ
……
Unsurprisingly, the live chat exploded with comments again.
Players haven't recovered from the news of Alicia's death.
Suddenly, this plot point popped up again...
The players were starting to lose their minds.
Even Mei, who knew the plot, felt a little breathless when she saw those words.
"..."
She remained silent, pursed her lips, and continued clicking on the "Survey" button.
After all the survey points were completed and the writing was no longer visible, Mei finally let out a deep breath.
"Herrscher of Thunder..."
In the story, Kevin suddenly hands Mei a file that has been ejected from a typewriter.
And this file is the only one that is different.
The content written above... is related to Sakura's younger sister.
"I've seen this record before. Since you have this attitude, then... it really happened?"
"Hmm," Kevin nodded gently.
Meiyi: "..."
"...Although it wasn't their intention, ultimately it was the rules of Aponia that distorted the minds of those guards, ultimately leading to Sakura's sister's murder?"
Kevin nodded gently again: "As you expected."
Meiyi: "..."
"Have you looked at the other files? The contents are almost identical..."
Kevin: "..."
Mei: "So, that typewriter really only records [objective facts]?"
"That's right! That typewriter!"
When Mei turned around, she found that the typewriter had been destroyed.
"..."
After a pause, Mei turned to Kevin and asked, "Who do you think... would do something like this?"
It seems Mei is asking Kevin a question.
But actually, she wanted to find out Kevin's attitude at this moment.
So far, their only information is that, apart from Mei and those heroic memories, there is no one else in Eternal Paradise.
What caused Alicia's death?
There's only one possibility—a traitor has emerged among the heroes?!
Coincidentally, information about Sakura's murder resurfaced in this archive.
...So it's very likely that Sakura was the one who came to the archives last night.
After learning that her younger sister was killed by her own people, will Sakura be angry? Will she lose her mind? Will she seek revenge for her sister?
Mei felt that Kevin must have thought of this as well.
Although it's hard to believe... it's hard not to speculate in that direction.
Moreover, this is currently the only plausible hypothesis.
So she wanted to see Kevin's current attitude.
When Mei asked him a question, Kevin fell silent.
"Let me put it another way... Why is that file about Sakura in this situation...?"
This statement is already quite clear.
They were practically asking directly – "Have you ever suspected Sakura?"
However, Kevin remained silent when asked about Mei's situation.
In fact, Mei herself couldn't believe her own guess.
In her memory, Sakura was clearly a very gentle girl.
After a long pause, Kevin finally whispered, "...I'll double-check."
Sure enough, Kevin didn't believe Sakura would do such a thing either.
Moreover, it seems Kevin doesn't know what to do next.
In the end, Mei left alone, somewhat disappointed.
A short while later, Kevin also left the archives.
……
Seeing this, the players were also somewhat incredulous.
If Sakura is the murderer... that would be terrible.
After all, there are still many people who like the character Sakura.
If Sakura were to turn evil and become a villain... Sakura's fans would definitely find it hard to accept.
But we have no choice but to accept it.
After all, the events leading up to Sakura's murder had already been foreshadowed many times.
Such speculation is actually quite reasonable.
In short, the plot of Eternal Paradise has become increasingly unpredictable.
……
After separating from Kevin, Mei met Sue again.
Naturally, Mei told Sue about what she and Kevin had seen in the archives.
Su was only slightly surprised by this, and did not show any doubt about Ying.
This relieved many of Sakura's fans.
After exchanging a few words with Sue, Mei decided to return to reality to seek help from Klein or Kevin in the real world.
However, before that, she wanted to find the other heroes and see what they thought about the matter.
Sue expressed her full agreement with Mei's plan.
"So, visitor, would you mind traveling with me? Of course, in a different way than Kevin's."
"Is another way... your unique mental connection?"
"Yes, I believe this will at least provide some help, better than nothing, along the way."
Seeing Mei hesitate, Su explained, "Please rest assured, I will not spy on you in any way; I will merely attach myself to the surface of your mind."
Mei thought about it for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
