"You... dare to... ask me such a question?! Huh?!"

The sudden rise in temperature symbolized the increased fury in Kalpas's heart.

"You know what the precepts are for me, but none of you are innocent! And I don't care about that now!"

Those who killed them... must pay the price!

"—you,—you,—no, let's start with you!"

Just as Kalpas was about to make his move, Kosma quickly Griseo behind him.

Just as the situation was about to become more complicated, Su sighed and used the Sumeru Mustard Seed of the Chijie Yicheng to temporarily trap Kalpas.

"Well."

Everyone sighed, feeling a pang of sadness.

After Elysia's death, one complicated event after another emerged: Sakura's disappearance, Kevin's deal with the mysterious man, and Kalpas's reappearance after his disappearance, driven by a rage that wanted to kill everyone...

"Elysia is the glue that holds the Flame-Chasers together. Once the glue fails, the Flame-Chasers will fall apart."

Eden sighed.

Elysia gave a forced smile.

"I'll take it as a compliment, Eden."

It would be a miracle if Elysia were in a good mood seeing the people of the Golden Courtyard killing each other.

"No wonder Jie-ge thought that Ying-jie was his only comrade-in-arms."

Pardo sighed.

"Kalpas, you didn't have to go to this extent."

Sakura sighed.

She was heavily suspected so far, but Kalpas still chose to believe her, which moved Ying deeply.

"Don't overthink it. I just couldn't stand seeing them doubting this and that when they didn't have any clues."

Kalpas snorted coldly.

"Brother Jie, being stubborn is Sister Snake's persona, not yours."

The timid Pardo unexpectedly teased Kalpas.

"Pardo Felice".

Mobius's casual remark silenced Pardo once again.

During the limited time they had while Kalpas was trapped, they needed to quickly piece together the basic outline of the matter.

Mei noticed that even though Kalpas was trapped, Kosma still didn't let Griseo leave his side, and each of the Flame-Chasers seemed to have someone keeping a certain distance from them.

This change means they can no longer trust each other, which is potentially fatal.

Sue explained the current situation to Mei in a heavy tone.

"Although we have no leads, we have reason to believe that Flame-Chasers has discovered one, or at least one, traitor... and that he, or they, are trying to erase the other memories one by one."

Su had barely finished speaking.

Eden stated that she could no longer remain inactive and that she would take the lead as the fourth person to coordinate the group.

Su and Hua immediately prepared to set off.

Just after the two left, countless white papers fell from the sky, like paper money at a funeral. When Mei showed an expression of disbelief.

"This is impossible"

"So it really is Elysian Realm Werewolf?!"

Little Knowledge blurted it out.

Werewolf?

Kevin felt that the three words sounded familiar, and suddenly remembered that this was what Yaqing had been muttering to herself for the past few days.

"The Flame-Chasers have lost the ability to trust each other, so it's finally the fourth person's turn to lead everyone. Does that mean... Kevin is in trouble?"

Vill-V frowned.

If even Kevin died because of the mastermind, then who in the Elysian Realm can stop this murderer hiding in the shadows?

"No way, Boss Kevin is so strong, how could he die so easily?"

Pardo still didn't believe it.

"Heh, it doesn't matter, I'll take action."

Kevin scoffed.

He could almost see his unlikely plan to completely save everyone from their dire straits.

The screen went black.

The scene flashes back to what Kevin once said to Su and Hua ten thousand years ago.

"Su, Hua, I entrust the rest to you. This is our last chance before we cause disaster. I must put my life into the chamber for this."

Immediately afterwards, white paper rained down, and Elysia's voice resounded in the audience's ears.

"If one day, simply pulling the trigger on me like this could save [the majority]... Kevin, what would you do?"

This time, Kevin made a different choice.

"Kevin... is dead?!"

Mei's voice betrayed her astonishment; she couldn't imagine who could have killed Kevin without anyone noticing.

Finally, the scene returned to the images of the Flame-Chasers, this time focusing on Kevin. To everyone's disbelief, a crisp cracking sound rang out once more.

Of the thirteen images, two now have empty frames.

Kevin's expression froze.

Like everyone else, he stared wide-eyed.

"Kevin... is dead?!?"

546

Chapter 546 Kevin's death caused a huge uproar.

"Kevin... is dead?!"

The crowd looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.

No one expected that the second death would be Kevin's; the first and second people died quietly at the hands of others.

"No... this can't be right! Boss Kevin is so strong, how could he just die? Who could kill him? Who could kill him without anyone noticing?!"

Pardo blurted it out.

Despite the bright sunshine and intense heat of the Eternal Elysium, and the scorching heat caused by the Kalpas Calamities of Wrath, Pardo still felt a chill run down her spine.

Even Kevin is dead, how is she, this weak little kitten, supposed to survive?!

Even Sakura's eyes widened.

She now felt less suspicious of herself, after all, what could she possibly have used to kill Kevin?!

If she could kill Kevin, she wouldn't...

"Hmph, what a strange development."

Kalpas felt that the plot development of Kevin's death was somewhat strange.

"No wonder I, the fourth person in charge, was chosen to coordinate everyone. But... is Kevin really dead?"

Eden had some doubts.

Elysia and Kevin are so strange and similar, and it is precisely because of their striking resemblance that they seem even more suspicious.

If the mastermind can kill Elysia and Kevin silently, then everyone in the Elysian Realm is no different from an ant to him. Since he has such terrifying combat power, why would he need to hide behind the scenes?

"Eden, do you doubt that Kevin is not dead?"

Elysia was still in shock from Kevin's death when she heard Eden's doubts, which rekindled a glimmer of hope.

Eden nodded.

"Elysia, don't you find it strange? Given Kevin's fighting strength, who could kill him silently? Unless..."

"To die voluntarily, or to die voluntarily."

May suddenly picked up where Eden left off.

But this only made everyone more confused.

Willing to die voluntarily?

Kevin was investigating Elysia's death and was very anxious before, so how could he suddenly want to die now?

"Mei, this doesn't make sense. If I were willing to die, why would I agree to that mysterious man's plan, which has less than a 10% chance of success?"

Kevin asked, puzzled.

This is also a question in everyone's mind.

"This is what I'm going to say next. When I say Kevin is willing to die, I don't mean he's actually dead. It's possible that this plan, which has less than a one in ten chance of success, requires Kevin's death."

Mobius frowned as he listened to Mebius's guess.

"You mean you faked your death?"

"That's right. Whether Kevin is really dead or not is not important; what matters is that others believe he is dead."

Mei adjusted the round-framed glasses on her nose.

"So to find out the truth about Kevin's death, we need to know what that plan, which had less than a 10% chance of success, was?"

"And who exactly is that mysterious person who devised the plan with him? Is he the mastermind, one of us, or perhaps both one of us and the mastermind?"

Mei's words, spoken in broad daylight, still sent chills down everyone's spine.

"Etc..."

Sakura suddenly thought of something.

That is what Su mentioned: Flame-Chasers has at least one traitor who is trying to erase the other memories one by one.

"If the traitor was the one who devised the plan with Kevin, then that would be terrible. The only sword was placed on the gambling table, but it shattered before it could even show its edge."

"I don't think the sidekick in the story is that stupid."

Mobius gave a cold laugh.

Under the pressure of that apocalyptic world, even a stupid pig could become a genius, let alone Kevin.

Kevin suddenly felt that Mobius was Mobius scolding him and praising him.

"The person who would make him risk his life for a gun must be someone he can trust, someone he believes is not a traitor, and certainly not someone like me."

Mobius was very self-aware.

She knew she wasn't trustworthy in the Elysian Realm, after all, she was the first Flame-Chasers to lay a hand on Mei, and in the audience's mind, she had a very high villain rating.

"Now Flame-Chasers can no longer trust each other; the seeds of doubt have been sown, waiting only for them to erupt."

Aponia shook her head and prayed with her hands clasped.

This is similar to playing Werewolf. When there are wolves around, everyone seems like a wolf, and suspicion, distrust, and separation come to the fore.

"I'm saying, you really believe what that blind man said?"

Kalpas snorted coldly.

"Think about it carefully. There was indeed a mastermind behind Elysia's death, but it could never be Sakura. Have you forgotten that inexplicable plot at the beginning of this week's story? It's obvious that someone else has come to the Elysian Realm."

"You suspect that Kevin's death was a plan devised with some weakling hiding in plain sight. If that's the case, then how can we talk about a traitor among us?"

Kalpas's tone was very unpleasant.

But he reminded everyone.
