Was Pardofelis the Mastermind?!

That was, of course, the most painful thing for them as Griseo's parents.

They never imagined that Griseo's tragic story would unfold at this time.

"Yaqing, should I praise you or scold you?"

Watching this scene, Griseo's character was portrayed very well, but they felt very uncomfortable.

550

Chapter 550 Is Pardo the mastermind behind it all?!

Elysia's expression was complicated.

On one hand, I felt sorry for Griseo and Kosma, and on the other hand, I felt that this plot was very well written and could leave a deep impression on the audience.

Whether a character is important or not depends on whether they can be remembered.

"Yaqing, I really don't know whether to praise you or scold you."

Kevin's expression was equally complicated.

Although Yaqing gave the impression of being with Griseo and Kosma, he also moved them deeply.

Everyone in the Golden Courtyard adores little Griseo, even treating her like a daughter. Seeing this scene, they wish they could rush into the story and hold Griseo in their arms to comfort her.

Especially Mobius.

Although she wasn't very nice to others, even Yaqing, she always had an arrogant attitude towards Gretchen, but she always had a smile on her face when she was with Griseo, unless Griseo was persuaded by Elysia to call her grandma.

"Well..."

Yaqing had no choice but to give an awkward smile.

Mei asked Vill-V what she thought, but Vill-V gave an irrelevant answer.

Those faded monsters possessed intelligence, as if someone was controlling them from behind. Mei initially suspected that someone among the Flame-Chasers had manipulated Griseo, but Vill-V trusted her companion completely.

That leaves only one possibility: that someone else has invaded Elysian Realm.

But such a conjecture is impossible for Vill-V, because the creation of the Elysian Realm was the work of another version of herself, who has absolute confidence in her own abilities, and the barrier she built can intercept all intruders.

No one can enter this place except for those who have been granted the qualifications by Kevin outside.

Vill-V would even stake her reputation on it. Now, Mei is the only outsider in this Elysian Realm.

The investigation has once again reached a dead end.

"Ah?"

Everyone looked bewildered.

According to Vill-V and Mei's speculation.

The mastermind behind the murder was neither one of the Flame-Chasers nor an outsider.

Who else could it be? Who else could it be?

"I'm a little confused now."

Kevin scratched his head.

The screenwriter originally intended for the audience to focus their suspicions on Sakura, including the plot development, motives, and evidence, making Sakura the prime suspect.

However, the people of the Golden Courtyard never believed that they were killing each other, so they looked suspiciously at the outsiders, suspecting that someone had infiltrated Elysian Realm.

But Vill-V gave them a rude awakening.

"Could it be that Sister Vill-V made a mistake?"

Pardo still didn't believe it.

"Pardo, you can doubt my character, but you can't doubt my professionalism!"

Vill-V's face showed displeasure.

Doubting her expertise is absolutely unacceptable.

After all, she used her reputation as collateral.

"Could it really be Sakura...?"

As soon as Su Gang finished speaking, he felt Kalpas glare at him.

Mei and Vill-V planned to look for more clues. She did not give up her suspicion of Vill-V, but without evidence, suspecting anyone was exactly what the mastermind wanted.

Mei decides to go find the Fairy Elysia first, thinking that the damaged typewriter might provide some clues.

Mei keenly sensed something was amiss nearby. She turned around, and as soon as the person following her caught up, a sharp blade was held against their neck.

Mei never expected that the person following them was actually Pardo.

Pardo chuckled and deflected the knife to the side. She explained that she had already searched all the alleys according to Eden's plan, and happened to hear Mei investigating, so she decided to come and join them.

Mei, however, did not lower her guard because of these words.

Pardo said it was because she was too weak and was afraid of being rejected. As if she could see the doubt on Mei's face, she quickly spoke up to explain herself.

Even if she had ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare to harm Kevin. Besides, making such a mess of the Elysian Realm, making it impossible to do business, is completely unlike her personality. She also doesn't have the ability to be the mastermind behind it all!

"Pardo?!"

Everyone thought the mastermind had finally revealed their true colors, but they never expected it to be Pardo.

"Pardo, you can't really be..."

The fact that Pardo appeared at this time, especially by following someone, was indeed highly suspicious, even Kevin looked at her with a hint of doubt.

Even before Elysia died, some people online suspected that it was Pardo, who was the most contrasting character, who was deliberately hiding Pardo strength and doing something big in silence.

Back then, audiences just watched it as a joke, but now... the more you watch, the more plausible it seems.

"Boss Kevin, you're not doubting us, are you?!"

Pardo looked around and saw that everyone she met looked at her with a hint of suspicion.

"We're the mastermind?! How is that possible?! Let's not even talk about whether we're strong enough to kill Sister Elysia and Boss Kevin. Even if we were to kill them, we wouldn't have any motive!"

Pardo felt wronged.

Just like in the story, if she really had that much ability, she would definitely get her hands on Eden's Golden Courtyard first, then have Kevin and Kalpas deliver goods for her, have Elysia and Fu Hua watch the shop for her, and have Mobius and Vill-V do the accounts for her, and so on.

"I also don't think Pardo is that kind of person."

"Sister Elysia..."

Pardo was deeply moved when she saw Elysia, the first person to stand up for her.

"Judging from the current plot, Kevin's death is definitely suspicious, or it's uncertain whether he's even dead. The only thing we can do is find the person who planned with her, but Mei doesn't know anything about this clue right now."

Mei frowned.

"Plan..."

May's gaze drifted silently toward Mobius.

Mobius was secretly drinking Yaqing's cola. He seemed to notice Mebius's gaze, and after swallowing it, he spoke.

"When will these rumors about Mobius being responsible for all the bad things finally end?"

Mobius said irritably.

Rumors may end, but prejudices in people's hearts will not.

Mei eventually got Pardo to join them.

Back at the amusement park, after a long search, they still couldn't find the Fairy Elysia.

In the end, it was Vill-V who came up with a solution.

That is, putting aside the Fairy Elysia for now, she has another secret weapon.

"Clang clang—"

Vill-V excitedly pulled out a fancy hat, claiming it was a consciousness collector that could help people enter other people's brains, view their memories, and use this invention to investigate everyone's alibi.

Vill-V invited Mei to be the first to examine her memories in order to prove her innocence.

Mei refused. Simply put, the current state of Vill-V did not inspire her trust, nor did it confirm the origin of this mysterious item.

Pardo broke the awkward atmosphere by asking Mei to examine her memories. Only after proving her innocence could she become Mei's assistant.

Seeing that Pardo completely trusted Mei, Vill-V suddenly grinned mischievously and made a joke to Pardo.

That is, if Mei is the mastermind behind it all, Pardo will not only be unable to prove her innocence, but may also disappear without a trace.

Pardo was startled, but she still believed in Mei.

"Hmm..."

Elysia touched her chin.

"I have a feeling that Vill-V is hinting at something...?"

Pardo looked completely bewildered.

"Sister Elysia, you don't really think that Mei is the mastermind behind this, do you?"

"Of course... that's impossible."

Elysia's eyes were curved in a smile.

He seemed to enjoy the bewildered expression on Pardo's face.

Yaqing chuckled softly.

Elysia's intuition was correct; Vill-V was indeed hinting, but not at Mei; rather, she was hinting at...

After Mei agreed, Vill-V slammed the hat down on Mei's head, giving her no chance to react.

With a snap of her fingers, Vill-V, Mei successfully accessed Pardo's memories.

These memories contained nothing suspicious; they were all trivial matters. As the memories deepened, they finally led to the night Kevin had his accident, when Pardo spent the entire night counting her spoils.

Just as Mei thought everything was fine and was about to leave, she suddenly heard Pardo talking in her sleep.

"Let's choose Kevin as the first candidate. I wonder if he'll be able to accept it."

"... This must be kept from Sister Elysia."

"Yes, that's right, and Mei too, otherwise she would definitely not have let me off the hook."

The more Mei listened to Pardo's ramblings, the deeper Mei brows furrowed.

What exactly is going on? Why must it be kept from her and Elysia?

"Wait... wait, something's not right, is it?"

Elysia had just been smiling, suddenly widened her eyes.

How did Pardo become so much more suspicious in just one part of the story?

"Oioioi, Pardo, you are very suspicious."

Vill-V joked.

Pardo didn't even have time to react.

"It's related to Kevin, but we can't let Elysia know, Pardo... are you really not connected to the mastermind behind it all?"

Sakura's tone carried a hint of insecurity.

"How... how could that be?! We... we're terrified of death! How could we possibly kill Sister Elysia and Boss Kevin?!"

Pardo stammered.

"That's hard to say."

Mobius spoke lightly.

This left Pardo completely dumbfounded.

"Although we are familiar with your personality, little Pardo, none of us can be sure that the screenwriter will add some shocking elements to your personality, such as a contrast."

Mobius glanced at Yaqing beside him.

Especially this contrast.
