Chapter 193

Sigh, she's clearly the outsider; the murderer was targeting Flame-Chasers. Why does Raiden Mei feel that, compared to herself, Vill-V is the indifferent outsider?

Vill-V: "Since it's a mysterious item, it must be used at crucial moments to demonstrate its value."

Mobius: "Unfortunately, I don't know if your inventions are actually useful, just like those Anti-Kevin Armament."

Apart from some discarded experimental equipment, the entire Spiral Workshop warehouse was mostly filled with Vill-V's failed experiments, including various models of Anti-Kevin Armament.

She hasn't given up yet, and even Mobius admires her perseverance.

Vill-V: "There might be some minor issues with Anti-Kevin Armament, and some design flaws that have resulted in quality falling short of quantity. But that's alright; what makes Flame-Chasers is the spirit of pioneering!"

Kevin: "..."

I really hope you can channel your pioneering spirit elsewhere, instead of wasting the Moth to Fire Moth's budget on making that weird doll.

Kiana: "So, with the help of your pioneering spirit, you, Vill-V, have developed over 1,300 Anti-Kevin Armament?"

Vill-V: "One thousand three hundred and two? In my memory, there shouldn't be that many models of Anti-Kevin Armament."

As the Memory Body Vill-V stated, the combined number of Anti-Kevin Armament in the Previous Era Elysian Realm and present worlds exceeds four figures.

This is far different from the number that Vill-V remembered.

Previously, after each Anti-Kevin Armament, she needed Kevin to test it in person. Considering the time cost and the expense of inviting Kevin, the number of weapons she could make was far from meeting this goal.

So the Memory Body of the Previous Era Elysian Realm seems to have made a great contribution.

Pardofelis: "As expected of Sister Vill-V, over a thousand Anti-Kevin Armament."

Raiden Mei: "Sometimes I wonder, don't you ever run out of inspiration? About those weird and wonderful things about Anti-Kevin Armament."

Vill-V: "Ahem! These are all minor matters, and I can say with certainty that option D is wrong!"

The purpose of Anti-Kevin Armament is to kill Kevin, not to find the killer.

On this point, Vill-V's attitude was particularly consistent.

Theresa: "But the remaining three... Consciousness Collector, Flame-Chasers Lure, Footprint Tracker."

They were hearing the names of these three things for the first time, and didn't even know what they looked like, but their functions were quite clear.

Moreover, all three items seem to be useful.

The props for the final footprint, the trap to lure Flame-Chasers, and that consciousness collection thing—the names sound incredibly reliable.

Vill-V: "What a coincidence, I actually know the answer, it's A!"

How could Vill-V not know the significance of her own invention?

Although the name sounds like an incredible item, upon closer inspection, reading the memory data of the Elysian Realm and materializing it, it's not difficult to create an item for collecting consciousness in the Previous Era Elysian Realm.

In terms of research costs, it should be lower than that Flame-Chasers Lure, right?

[Correct answer.]

[Congratulations to Vill-V for winning the reward: Flame-Chasers Lure.]

[Summary: As Anti-Kevin Armament, at a crucial stage, the Flame-Chasers Lure was activated. Once activated, it can attract Flame-Chasers within a hundred meters to the surrounding area, making it extremely useful.]

Vill-V: "Is attracting Flame-Chasers really that effective?"

Holding the black box in her hands, Vill-V noticed a particularly noticeable and adorable little red button on it.

Driven by scientific pragmatism and a desire to explore the unknown, Vill-V pressed the button without hesitation.

About ten seconds later, all the Flame-Chasers of the Death Space rushed to Vill-V's side.

Pardofelis: "Hey, why did I suddenly end up in Sister Vill-V's workshop? Why did my body just not obey my commands?"

Elysia: "What a magical thing! It just walked over on its own, and there's nothing wrong with its body. Was it [attracted] here?"

Kiana: "That's amazing?"

Sakura: "It's probably like there's something ahead of you, and you can't wait to explore it."

However, they only developed this feeling after they arrived at the Vill-V Workshop.

Danzhu: "We don't seem to be reacting. This is such a strange thing."

Cang Xuan: "Won't something bad happen if all the Flame-Chasers gather in a space of less than 100 square meters?"

With a loud roar, a pillar of blazing flames erupted, melting one side of the Spiral Workshop's wall.

Chakravartin: "Apponia, prepare to die!!!"

Apponia: "Chakravartin."

Pardofelis: "Aaaaah! It's on fire! It's on fire! Sister Sakura, please cool it down!"

Sakura: "Pardo, I've pawned my Frozen Naraka to you."

Okay, it looks like things are getting messy.

Chakravartin calamities of fury, Pardo running amok everywhere, and Danzhu, Cang Xuan, and Canned Food watching the show from the sidelines.

The effectiveness of the Flame-Chasers Lure is evident.

Vill-V: "What an amazing gadget! Its destructive power is incredible."

Kiana: "The destructive power you're referring to, you mean the astonishing destructive power of Chakravartin, right?"

Elysia: "Vill-V, have you ever wondered what's hidden inside this Flame-Chasers Lure?"

Chapter 313 Mei might be the culprit!

After Elysia said that, the atmosphere immediately quieted down again.

Indeed, if it can only attract one Flame-Chasers, such as Pardofelis, Griseo, or Kevin, then it might contain things like silver coins, candy, or instant noodles.

The prop that could attract all thirteen Flame-Chasers is truly intriguing.

Vill-V: "My dear viewer, you've hit the nail on the head. Even I, a Magician, am a little curious about what's inside."

Pardofelis: "Why don't we open it and see? Maybe there are lots and lots of silver coins inside, hehehe."

Standing at a distance, Pardo could even smell the fragrance of the silver coins.

Vill-V: "I'm sorry, Little Pardo, this is a crucial component of the new Anti-Kevin Armament, and it's an unreplicable item. We can't just dismantle it."

Raven: "You're really planning to use it to Anti-Kevin Armament?"

Even the Raven couldn't help but feel a pang of exhaustion for the Lord, who was far away in the Sea of Quanta.

The Anti-Kevin Armament has increased in a strange and unusual way.

Vill-V: "Of course! With such unique and powerful gadgets, I've already conceived at least ten new models to Anti-Kevin Armament!"

Once the Flame-Chasers around her had mostly dispersed and were more than a hundred meters away, Vill-V began to test the Flame-Chasers Lure from various angles.

To ensure the creation of a new Anti-Kevin Armament!

In the scene, Raiden Mei, Vill-V, and Pardo are searching for clues about the Fairy Elysia in the amusement Elysian Realm. However, after wandering around for most of the day, they haven't seen a trace of her.

"Should we continue searching? This kind of mechanical work doesn't suit my aesthetic sense at all."

Vill-V stood with her hands on her hips, her tone somewhat impatient.

"She might show up on her own sometime. Until then, let's investigate from a different angle."

Do you have any other clues?

"Hehe, it's time to reveal my secret weapon!"

Vill-V conjured a hat from who-knows-where and presented it to Raiden Mei.

"Wow, what a gorgeous hat! Sister Vill-V, where did you get all these strange and wonderful props from?"

"Great reaction! Little Pardo is really supportive. I like that about you."

Vill-V nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Raiden Mei.

"What do you think, fellow viewer?"

"You let me tour the amusement park by myself before, was that what you were preparing for? All I can tell is that you have an interest in collecting hats."

Raiden Mei stared at the hat, unable to figure it out.

It would be strange if you could figure out the secret behind Vill-V's odd inventions at a glance.

The various Anti-Kevin Armament before left a deep impression on her.

"Don't just look at the surface, my dear audience. This isn't just any ordinary hat; it's a magic prop I specially developed— Consciousness Collector."

Vill-V began to explain her invention to the two of them.

This hat can access other people's brains and examine their memories, thereby checking each person's alibi.

It's incredibly practical!

"Checking memories, wow! Amazing! Is this really just magic, or not?"

Pardofelis gasped in surprise.

Raiden Mei shook her head. "For us in the Elysian Realm, all we need to do is read the data and visualize it."

It wasn't based on any complicated principles; Raiden Mei simply analyzed how the hat worked by listening to Vill-V's description of its function.

"Always trying to uncover Magician's tricks takes away a lot of the fun, my lovely audience."

Vill-V shrugged and extended an invitation to Raiden Mei.

"Well, Ms. Mei, I've specially invited you to examine my memories; this is proof of my trust."

"I refuse."

"Very good, I knew it. No one can resist this temptation. Wait, refuse? There's no reason for that."

Vill-V was stunned, completely unprepared for Raiden Mei's reaction.

Given her inquisitive nature, she shouldn't have stopped there.

"The credibility you've demonstrated so far isn't enough to justify me accompanying you to verify this dubious item."

The explosion attracted a monster attack; Raiden Mei had seen far too many of Vill-V's magical artifacts along the way.

None of them could put her at ease!

"I can assure you, this prop has absolutely no additives!"

Vill-V patted her chest and assured him.

"The person who started this might still be spying on us. Time is of the essence; do you really want to take the long way around?"

"Sister Mei, Sister Vill-V is right. I believe she wouldn't play a prank in such a critical moment. Why don't we try it on me?"

At this moment, Pardofelis once again stepped forward without hesitation, willing to become the bond of trust between the two and the experimental subject of the Consciousness Collector.

"Oh dear, it seems Little Pardo is still holding a grudge about your suspicions about her."

Vill-V glanced at Raiden Mei without making a sound, the meaning in her expression was self-evident.

"It's not that I'm holding a grudge, after all, the situation is still unclear, so it's normal for Sister Mei to be worried and vigilant."

Pardofelis scratched his head.

"But if that happens, Sister Mei won't have any help at all! If I can prove my innocence sooner, I can investigate the truth with Sister Mei!"

"You truly live up to your nickname, Little Pardo. But have you considered another possibility?"

Vill-V smiled mysteriously, "Perhaps, Ms. Mei in front of us is the real mastermind."

"Huh--?!"

Pardofelis was startled and his voice trailed off considerably.

"It seems Little Pardo hasn't considered this possibility at all. If that's the case, not only will you be unable to clear your name, but you might also be completely wiped out without a trace."

"Sister Mei is the murderer? How could that be...?"

Pardofelis lowered her head and murmured to herself.

"No way, she's the one who wants to know the truth the most, she wouldn't do anything to Boss Kevin and Sister Elysia!"

"No, no, Sister Mei- nee can't be the murderer, I guarantee it!"

Giving herself a mental pep talk, Pardofelis stood unguarded beside Raiden Mei, displaying her absolute trust.
