"[Anti-Kevin Armament·Model 7], [Anti-Kevin Armament·Model 135], [Anti-Kevin Armament·Model 24]... Oh, sorry, they are not arranged in order. Dear audience, please choose your props."

Outside of Weiwei's workshop, Mei couldn't help but twitch her lips as she looked at the various props spread out in a row:

"Vilvi, are you sure... these are weapons for combat?"

The cage and the Gatling-like guns were very normal, and she could tolerate the huge magic hat and unsharpened weapons, but... the giant shovel and the cauldron at the end... I was afraid that it was purely Velvet's trick. There was no way Kevin would just lie down in it and perform a "cooking myself" show.

"Ah... Dear audience, you mean the pot? It was originally a prop that Baiwei used to research new recipes. Later, she didn't need it anymore, so I took it and modified it..."

Mei ignored her explanation and walked straight to the end.

"【Arming Kevin·666】..."

"Dear audience, your vision is indeed unique. This weapon can indeed [kill] Kevin as long as it can be activated. However... I can't activate it until the conditions are met.

"Model 666, the official name is [Paradise Data Indiscriminate Irreversible Big Surprise Cleanup Tool]. It is essentially a series of [commands] that can delete the entire Paradise of the Past with one click."

"You mean...delete the entire Paradise of the Past?"

Mei didn't expect that Vivi, a memory device, would invent a tool that could format things with just one click.

"Yes, this will ensure that Memory Kevin is eliminated. Unfortunately, I will be deleted as well, so this invention will be abandoned. Also, now its [activation conditions] no longer exist, so in short... it can't be used."

"Your inventions... are quite creative. So... what are the activation conditions? For a memory, something so dangerous, the control right cannot be handed over to one person..."

"Could it be that the activation conditions for [Arming Kevin 666] are related to Alicia?"

"... Mei, you are more suitable to be the Herrscher of Reason than the Herrscher of Thunder... But your guess is not entirely correct. The activation conditions of [Arming Kevin 666] have nothing to do with me or other heroes. Whether it can be activated depends only on Alicia's [personal will]."

"But you must know that Alicia is not me or Mebius. She will definitely not format it just out of curiosity."

"Of course, more than a decade ago, when Enosiya first entered the Paradise of the Past, Alicia...had the idea of ​​using it. Of course, it was just a thought."

"After all, Enosia is not [bad], and she is of no great use. Deleting the entire paradise will only allow her to [die once]. She has clones everywhere in the outside network. Unless [Arming Kevin·666] can format the information of the global network with one click, it will not cause any substantial damage to her at all."

"Of course, if it is the current situation... that is, the situation where the Herrscher has only one life... Alicia should direct a grand curtain call and then press the button decisively."

"...Dear audience, why are you standing there in a daze? Did what I just said challenge your stereotype of Alicia? Don't forget that as a hero who survived the twelfth collapse, she has killed many more collapse beasts than you can imagine. If an alien civilization invades the earth one day, and she has a button in her hand that can intimidate the other party, she will probably press it elegantly and politely."

Mei recalled the experience of the second collapse in the system. At that time, Alicia was a new recruit, and when she shot the arrows at the Honkai beasts and the Herrscher, she did not hesitate at all.

There is no doubt that Alicia has many unique characteristics. These unique and eye-catching characteristics often make people ignore the commonalities between Alicia and other people of that era. Alicia is also a warrior who has been fighting on the front line for many years.

"Anyway, after reading these [Arming Kevin], you can be sure that it is very difficult for Ying Jie to [kill Kevin], right? There is no need to continue to doubt me and my companions without reason."

"...Companions? I didn't realize you were such a companion-minded person."

"Look, just like your understanding of Alicia is not entirely correct, there are indeed many people among Yingjie who are easily misunderstood."

"The Thirteen Heroes are all ordinary people. Each of them has another side that is unknown to others, and each of them even has their own motivations for leaving here - I think this is not difficult to understand.

Let me think about it. Apart from Sakura, Mobius, Chijie, Aponia... needless to say, they should already be on your [Suspect List], right?

As for the others... For example, Alicia, among all the heroes, you have had the most dealings with her, and even now, you have actually been going back and forth between [doubting her] and [believing her], right?

As for Kevin, he always has a stern face and refuses to say anything. The only thing in his mind is fighting for humanity. Maybe one day he will run out and fight Honkai himself.

Eden always says that she belongs to the old era, but in fact she seems to be very interested in the new world. After all, she is an artist, who doesn’t crave new inspiration? "

Su… I don’t know what he saw with the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle, but after that he paid special attention to Kevin and Mobius. No one can tell what the “Awakened One” is thinking.

Kosmo must be eager to go out and see the end of the Ark Project, and Gray is obviously hiding something from others. Hua is an honest man, but who can be sure that the Hua here is still Hua? The same is true for Padu. So you see - the murderer obviously can't be any of us."

"This conclusion...seems to be completely contrary to your previous claims."

"In your opinion, is it because people have the [will] to believe, or is it because they have [things] to believe in that they believe in?"

"What do you mean?"

"I want to trust my companions. This is my will and the basis of everything. But now, something conflicting has occurred. In this case, what do you think I should do? The answer is very simple. I still choose to trust my companions. To do this, I must first doubt them, and then clear everyone's suspicion little by little until I find out the truth."

"That's what I'm saying, Ms. Mei. I think I've made it clear."

Mei tilted her head:

"Your tone right now is more like that person...who calls herself "Vilvi who overlooks the stars" than a magician."

"Really? After all, all the Velvets are essentially one person. We've shared a body for so long, so it's normal for us to influence each other. But you should understand that the Velvet in front of you didn't suddenly switch personalities."

"Your knowledge of each [Vilvi] comes from themselves or from the introductions of other [Vilvi]. I didn't tell you before that on stage, I am the Magic King of the Twilight Era. But in my spare time... I am also a well-known [Detective]. After all, I am a genius. Have you heard of [Reasoning before the Performance]? It's essentially the same thing."

"Before you came, I was planning to investigate the current situation on my own. Since you are also very interested in the truth of the incident, why don't you come with me? In this way, you can also be my [witness]. After all, as a detective, the most important thing is to prove your innocence."

Mei fell into deep thought:

(Wei Weiwei... I can't trust this hero yet. Some of the things she said just now also make me feel concerned. However, I can first see her [methods]...)

"I accept your offer. However, I will also remain vigilant."

Wei Wei clapped her hands happily:

"Very good, Ms. Mei, I'm glad you can show such an attitude. However... the next process of the investigation may not be what you expected, clang clang."

As Weiwei spoke, she took out a magic hat of normal size from somewhere.

"Obviously, this is not an ordinary magic hat, but a magic prop I specially developed - the [Consciousness Collector]!"

"Consciousness collection?"

"In short, this hat can help you enter other people's brains and check their memories. Through it, you can check everyone's alibi, and of course prove our innocence... Padu, I have taken back all the dangerous things, you can come out now."

When Velvet took out a bunch of [Weapons Against Kevin], Padofelice, who was originally following Meiyi, disappeared. Meiyi followed Velvet's gaze and found a tail swaying flexibly in the grass not far away. When she heard her name, Padofelice came out happily just like when Eden found her.

Looking at Wei Wei and then at Mei Yi, Padochliflis scratched his head a little embarrassedly:

"...Sister Mei, you know that I have always been timid, and Sister Weierwei's inventions are often not as simple as they seem. Who knows if that big pot that looks like it's used for cooking will suddenly fire a cannonball..."

"Pado, you still have such a rich imagination. However, I can tell you responsibly that this hat only has the function of [Consciousness Collection], but it is enough for now. If the detective in the detective novel knew this trick, the original million-word masterpiece... I am afraid that less than 100,000 words can tell the story. If it weren't for the emergency, I would have wasted a lot of time trying to change Ms. Mei's attitude. I don't want to use this prop that ruins the fun of detective work."

"Check...memories? Even if it only has this function, it's already very powerful. Sister Weiwei, are you sure this is magic and not magic?"

"For us who are in the paradise, it only needs to read the memory data and visualize it."

"...Ms. Mei, it would be a lot less fun to always try to uncover the secrets of magic. How about this? I specially invite you to be the first one to look into my memory. This is a proof of trust."

Facing the excited Velvet and Padre Felice who was creating the atmosphere, Mei seemed very calm:

"I reject."

"Very good. I knew that no one could resist this kind of temptation... Wait, reject? How is that possible? This is the most efficient tool I can think of. Aren't you curious about our ideas? Putting this aside, there is no reason for you not to accept such a genius and surprising magic prop."

"The credibility you have shown so far is not enough to support me accompanying you to verify this suspicious prop of unknown origin."

"Don't say that. I deliberately didn't take it out at the beginning. Instead, I accompanied you around and verified various conjectures to help us build a trusting relationship. The fact that you are still standing here in good condition is enough to prove that my magic props are absolutely safe and reliable."

"Safe and reliable? If the one standing in front of me, Wei Wei, is an expert, I might be able to believe it. What you just said is right. People's judgment is easily influenced by stereotypes, and I am no exception."

"Ms. Mei, are you talking about the trial in the paradise? Well, at that time, we had to balance seriousness and entertainment, so I added a little surprise to the original props. But I can promise you that this prop was specially made by me to deal with the current life-and-death situation, and there is absolutely no [adjustment] added."

"Time is running out. After Alicia, Kevin, Aponia, and Eden, it's me. Ms. Mei, are you really going to go far away?"

"Sister Mei, what Sister Weiwei said makes sense. I believe she won't play a prank at such a critical moment. Why not... try it on me first?"

"Oh, Padu, I didn't expect you to be so reliable at the critical moment. Maybe the key to the victory or defeat of this [battle] lies in you."

Upon hearing this, Padufilis showed a somewhat embarrassed expression:

"I... I'm not as powerful as Sister Weiwei said, but... since everyone is a suspect now, it's understandable that Sister Mei is on guard. But... in this case, Sister Mei won't have a single helper? If I can prove my innocence sooner, I can investigate the truth of the matter with Sister Mei."

Velvet raised her eyebrows at Mei:

"Well, Ms. Mei, do you really want to betray the trust that little Padu and I have placed in you?"

Seeing the weak and pitiful eyes of Padufils, which seemed to be trying their best to do something, Mei's heart softened immediately.

"ok, I get it."

Mei took the hat and, under the guidance of Velvet, put it on the girl's head. At the same time, she noticed the smirk on Velvet's lips.

"Wei Wei, you..."

"Are you nervous? But it's too late now~"

Weiwei snapped her fingers, and almost at the same time, a strange smoke burst out from the top hat, and then darkness enveloped the vision.
