Chapter 211

Everyone understood each other implicitly: Vill-V was a genius who had escaped from prison countless times; surely she wouldn't be unable to overcome such a small matter.

[Q&A begins.]

[During the funeral of the Flame-Chasers Memory Body perished. Who was the one who caused the murderer to be born in the Previous Era Elysian Realm?]

[A: Vill-V.]

[B: Mobius.]

[C: Elysia.]

[D: Raiden Mei.]

A new question and answer arose, and at this moment everyone was completely focused, pondering the origins of the murderer.

Pardofelis: "Could it be that Sister Snake's experiment exploded, or that something went wrong with Sister Vill-V's lab?"

Vill-V: "Little Pardo, you still love to joke around. At this point, we probably already guessed who the real culprit was, right? What do you all think?"

Theresa: "I already guessed it. When did this happen?"

Kiana: "I don't know either, class monitor, do you know?"

What's going on? Weren't we all chatting happily in the group? Why haven't you said a single word even though the real culprit has been identified?

Being a riddle solver is fun, isn't it?

Fu Hua: "I can only say that we have some clues. Before I can make a definitive statement, I need more evidence."

Danzhu: "My immortal, stop beating around the bush. Never mind... Su, since everyone else knows, you must know too, right?"

Su: "I know a little bit."

Chapter 341 The Real Culprit is the Herrscher of Corruption

The Enlightened One claimed to know a little, leading many to suspect he was in Versailles. Unless the whole story was thoroughly analyzed, they believed he only knew a little about everything.

Welt: "Now that everyone has their own answer, why don't we compare them? If everyone's answer is the same, then we're pretty close to the truth."

Su: "Okay."

The Chat Group was silent for two seconds before everyone focused and spoke their answers.

"The Herrscher of Corruption!" ×N

Almost simultaneously, the words "Herrscher of Corruption" became the only answer, with no other voices mixed in.

Durandal: "The answers are consistent, so the identity of the real culprit can be confirmed."

Although the lines in the previous conversation between Vill-V and Mei were carefully selected, she did not conceal her identity as the perpetrator.

With a little care, it's not difficult to find clues in them.

Kiana: "Is this confirmed? Why don't we analyze it further? It would be embarrassing if we were wrong. Didn't the class monitor just say it needed further verification?"

If the judgment is wrong, it's like the entire Chat Group is making a fool of themselves.

Fu Hua: "What I said just now was mainly to confirm things again. Now everyone's answer is almost the same, so it can't be wrong."

Vill-V: "Heh, Memory Body of Flame-Chasers feel powerless, like a natural disaster, is completely helpless against Raiden Mei, an outsider."

Vill-V: "Such a powerful targeting, in my memory, only that one person fits the description."

An extremely powerful corrosive virus, the Herrscher of Corruption.

Electronic devices could penetrate almost any part of her system, easily taking over the Previous Era's military network and launching nuclear missiles at the remaining three cities.

Pardofelis: "The Herrscher of Corruption, isn't that thing in the Previous Era Elysian Realm... glug."

The rest of the words need not be spoken; a gloomy atmosphere spread through everyone's hearts.

Throwing the Herrscher of Corruption into the Previous Era Elysian Realm is an act of utter destruction, like locusts ravaging crops. I wonder which bastard did it.

Elysia: "We can put the Herrscher of Corruption on hold for now, Vill-V. Aren't you sure you want to keep things hanging like this?"

When they turned around, they found that Vill-V was still hanging in mid-air, her rope tied to the spire of a tower dozens of stories high.

I clearly remember that before, my Original Vill-V, was foaming at the mouth and unconscious.

Vill-V: "Of course it's alright. I'm Magician from the Twilight Era. If I can't even overcome this little bit of fear, how can I become a great flying Magician?"

Pardofelis: "Sister Vill-V, whatever makes you happy."

Originally intending to call for help to pull Vill-V up, Pardo immediately stopped in her tracks upon hearing what Vill-V said.

Since Sister Vill-V is so confident, let's just wait for her to get out of trouble on her own.

Bronya: "Unfortunately, the question is about who caused the Herrscher of Corruption to be born, not who the murderer is."

Otherwise, someone would answer the question the moment it appears.

Now everyone is just looking at each other, unsure of what to do.

Mobius: "Is there even a question? Even in Fifty Thousand Years, malice hasn't been born in the Previous Era Elysian Realm, let alone Herrscher. Who else could have brought the Herrscher of Corruption in besides that curious little one?"

Raiden Mei: "..."

How could the blame be directed at her? Raiden Mei felt utterly wronged; she hadn't done anything wrong, yet she was being dragged into this mess.

Vill-V: "Only Raiden Mei? Dr. Mobius, you must be joking. Everyone knows your Memory Body contains a virus that can replicate the Herrscher of Corruption."

Mobius: "Heh, you know quite a lot. Typical of you, Vill-V."

After a round of mutual flattery, the atmosphere between the two began to sour again.

Ever since Mobius tried to poach Vill-V's funding from Eden, such things have happened frequently.

Mobius: "Then I'll choose D. How could I possibly have something as dangerous as the Herrscher of Corruption virus?"

Slander! You people are just slandering us!

She was just a researcher who had never been on the battlefield and had no combat capabilities. How could she, Memory Body from the Previous Era Elysian Realm, possess such a dangerous nuclear button?

[Correct answer.]

[Congratulations to Mobius for winning the reward: Concept Card - Building Construction.]

Mobius: "Oh? An expansion tool? Wasn't this the same one used in Vill-V's Spiral Workshop and Elysia's Garden last time?"

Elysia: "Hmm."

Mobius: "Then just help me get the lab built. As for the rest... I haven't thought about it yet."

Constructing a luxurious building in one's mind is no simple task, and Mobius doesn't possess the same engineering imagination as Vill-V; for now, he can only recreate the original laboratory.

With a single thought, a towering building rose from the ground in the Death Space.

Danzhu: "Doctor, Doctor! We're applying to return to the lab. We'll get five social insurances and one housing fund, plus subsidies."

Cang Xuan: "Danzhu, we're all dead, there's no need to buy life insurance."

Danzhu: "That's right, then let's get a subsidy! We need a subsidy!"

Mobius: "You want to come back, huh... Fine."

Danzhu: "Yay!"

Anyway, as long as they follow Dr. Mobius, they definitely won't go hungry.

Unfortunately, the Mobius Concept Card was used too early, otherwise Danzhu and Cang Xuan would definitely have persuaded her to build an outdoor swimming pool.

Ahem, it's definitely not what Danzhu wanted, but rather something prepared for Senior Sister Klein will be overworked and stressed in the future.

Although Klein not necessarily need it due to overtime work.

In the scene, Raiden Mei is trapped inside Vill-V's consciousness, her thoughts constantly splitting according to different areas, and her way out is blocked time and time again.

Raiden Mei has already exhausted too much energy, but she hasn't even seen Vill-V yet.

She had to create an opportunity, an opportunity to confront Vill-V head-on.

"Huh? Giving up so easily? Struggle a little longer, I haven't had enough yet."

Vill-V appeared in front of Mei, looking down at her as she panted for breath.

"Alright, that's enough for now. Farewell, my dearest audience, Raiden Mei."

Since the opponent was already at her last gasp, Vill-V released the monster and launched an attack. However, Mei suddenly slashed out with her sword, no longer appearing weak as before.

In this way, the weakness of this area of thought, and the truth that Vill-V had concealed, were also exposed to Mei.

Did I say too much just now?

The Vill-V frowned, trying to figure out at what point she had let something slip.

Chapter 342 Mei, you've fallen for it!

"I'm afraid it's another person you've been talking about too much."

Raiden Mei crossed her arms.

"Vill-V once told me that she only Mental Partition into eight areas; if she continued, it would be difficult to maintain the standard of genius in each area."

In other words, the Vill-V's thoughts are finite in quantity and quite precious.

If it were to trap Raiden Mei, Vill-V would certainly be willing, but if she already held an absolute advantage, she would definitely not be willing to pay any more price.

That's how the Vill-V was lured out.

"If that's the case, those failed splits just now must have caused you considerable losses."

"So?" asked the Vill-V.

"Let's make a bet: which is wider – the territory I can reach, or the territory you're willing to give up?"

Raiden Mei drew her sword, and surging Raiden crackled around her.

Before you catch up with Lei Guang, will you go from being a genius to a fool?

"Hahaha, hahaha, you don't actually think I can't see through your intentions, do you?" Vill-V laughed. "You think facing me head-on is your only chance, don't you?"

"The same applies to you."

Raiden Mei looked at Vill-V, then changed the subject.

"Or perhaps, we could remain deadlocked here until Flame-Chasers outside uncovers the truth. That would be a more acceptable outcome for you."

"Checkmate! "Raiden Mei pointed her katana at Vill-V. With the upper hand, she didn't believe the other side would be more willing to accept the second option.

And this was her only chance.

With a swift movement, Raiden Mei appeared before Vill-V in an instant, her katana slicing towards her neck. This time, the tangible feeling of the blow landed in her hand.

Kiana: "Mei's strong, Mei, beat her up!"

Although Raiden Mei is currently at a disadvantage, her cunning, her desperate struggle to force Vill-V to appear, and her courage to fight her out of necessity are all admirable.

Raiden Mei: "To be put in a do-or-die situation, is that it?"

I used to think that girl with the chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) was good for nothing but recklessness, but now it seems that she was indeed more outstanding back then than I am now.

The ability to make sound judgments in dire situations and the decisiveness to act after calming down are things that can only be accumulated through experience honed over the years.

Vill-V: "Tsk tsk tsk, Miss Mei, you're in big trouble now."

Raiden Mei: "?!!"

Himeko Murata: "While Mei is indeed at a disadvantage right now, we can't say for sure that she'll lose. Didn't Vill-V pay a heavy price for that Mental Partition just now?"

The current situation is like two cripples fighting each other, it's a battle of willpower, and whoever falls first loses.

Although Mei is a bit reckless, she is, after all, someone who dares to challenge and provoke Chakravartin. In terms of perseverance, she may not necessarily lose to Vill-V, who is a support staff member.

Vill-V: "If it were a head-on confrontation, it would be a 50/50 chance, and I'd even be more likely to lose. But Extreme Evil is different from the other Vill-V."

"She occupies a large part of Vill-V 'Vill-V mind. She would never gamble her life by waiting for Fifty Thousand Years in the Previous Era Elysian Realm."

Lurking, waiting, seizing the opportunity, and striking decisively—this process aligns with the character of the Vill-V.

When she appeared, she had already planned all her next moves; once she made her move, it would be a fatal blow.

Raiden Mei's attempt to force the Vill-V into a direct confrontation is bound to fall into a trap.

Raiden Mei: "So, the cost of splitting your mind is too high, forcing us to fight head-on, and this clue is also fake?"
