Ultra: Magical Black Technology, Starting from the Kingdom of Light

"Let's wait for the Plasma Spark Tower first. Gather energy for a month, and then we'll be ready to build it all at once!"

Sighing, Knuckles stopped pushing himself.

Anyway, he has almost no rivals in the Triga space-time, so just wait.

In the blink of an eye... more than half a month has passed.

Nax arrived at the base at noon again, but as soon as he entered the door, he suddenly felt a solemn atmosphere.

This atmosphere is not right!

"what happened?"

Knuckles looked at everyone with some confusion.

Be it Malulu, Zuo Ma Tiexin and others, they all seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Captain Chen Yi... was killed..."

Marulu spoke in a heavy voice, which was like a bolt from the blue.

The situations of the other team members are also somewhat complicated.

"how is this possible?"

Knuckles was shocked.

Can Captain Tatsumi still sacrifice himself?

This isn't Leo's inhumane worldview!

"Don't worry, I'm already tracking it down. Based on my years of experience..."

Malulu's eyes kept shining: "The murderer is among us!"

"what?"

Knuckles thought he had misheard.

Inside the base are Yuina Shizuma, Shōshoto, Kengo Manaka, Tesshin Sakuma, and Hikaru Nanase. Including him and Marulu, there are seven people left in total, but who could have done this?

With an innocent look on his face, is Shizuma Yuina just an 18-year-old high school student?

Is it Kengo Shinchu who is nominally Triga but has secretly awakened the power of darkness?

Or is it Marulu from Metron who is crying wolf?

"Could it be a mistake?"

Knuckles still had some doubts.

"Humph, even though some people think they are being discreet, they can't hide it from my eyes..."

Marulu looked serious.

"In that case, I'll come and help too!" Nax looked solemn, then stretched out his hand slightly, and a strange flower with a smiling face appeared in his hand.

"this is?"

Everyone looked puzzled.

"Pinocchio's Flower, SR super rare technology, a lie detector that I just invented in a few seconds!"

Knuckles reached out and placed his hand in front of Marulu. "Just hold it in front of them and ask them something. If they lie...their nose will grow longer."

"So magical?"

Everyone was surprised at the same time.

"Haha, everyone, watch carefully..."

Knuckles looked at Marulu seriously: "Did you kill Captain Tatsumi?"

"How is that possible?"

Marulu spoke quickly.

Some pollen immediately splashed out of Pinocchio's smiling face.

"Ok?"

Everyone stared at the Metron alien.

But after a while, the Metron didn't change at all.

… “…Is the prop broken?”

Jingjian Yuming said while thinking.

"No!" Knuckles said solemnly, and immediately realized: "Metrons... don't seem to have noses."

Everyone: "..."

……

Next, Knuckles asked Marulu about the whole story of Captain Tatsumi's murder.

To put it simply, it happened this morning. Captain Tatsumi hadn't come to work since the beginning of the day.

not only that.

At this time, Marulu happened to find Captain Tatsumi's blood on the ground...

But when I looked again a while later, the bloodstains on the ground had disappeared.

It can be inferred that the bloodstains must have been cleaned up manually.

And the person who wiped off the blood must be the murderer.

"Okay, let's go one by one, starting with Smailoth..."

Knuckles prepared a pair of Conan-style glasses and put them on his nose.

At this point, the only person who can see through the truth is probably the famous detective who looks like a child but is actually different from ordinary people...

Edogawa is a bitch.

"I'm not, how could I hurt the captain..."

The Pinocchio Flower moved in front of him, and Shinaka Kengo quickly waved his hands: "This is absolutely impossible..."

"No, the next one..."

……

"Me neither, I've been staying in the lab..."

The people of Shengzhang shook their heads repeatedly.

……

"Next!"

"I just went to maintain the Condor, and when I came back I learned that the captain had been killed..."

……

"Next!"

"I just came back from school. My teachers and classmates will all vouch for me..."

……

"Next……"

Knuckles finally set his sights on Zuo Ma Tie Xin.

Everyone else also looked at each other...

"It's you, Zuo Ma Tie Xin!"

Marulu's face was filled with grief: "I didn't expect you to do such a thing..."

"Brother Zuo Ma..."

The others sighed as well.

"No, how did it become me? I have an alibi. I was just... I was exercising."

Swish!

Suddenly, Ma Tiexin's nose grew longer!

"Okay, the case is solved. There is only one truth!"

Knuckles smiled and put away the Pinocchio flower. "Just admit it, Sakuma-senpai..."

"No, the captain and I have no grudges..."

"You bought a ticket to the martial arts tournament, right!"

Suddenly, Marulu looked at Zuo Ma Tiexin and then interrupted him directly.

"what?"

Ma Tiexin was shocked when his thoughts were spoken, and he asked, "How did you know?"

As an operator at the base, it's easy for me to find my browsing history." Marulu said with a smug look on his face.

"No, that's not the case..."

"Because the captain ruled... that you weren't allowed to attend the match in person, you're holding a grudge!"

Zuo Ma Tiexin: "Uh..."

He was somewhat speechless.

"The murder weapon must be your coat. It was stained with blood, so I just washed it..."

Knuckles also expressed his opinion in an instant.

It is early spring now and it is not hot inside the base.

But while everyone else was wearing coats, Zuo Ma Tiexin was only wearing a T-shirt?

That's a little strange.

"It really wasn't me. Okay... I'll be honest... I got ketchup on that coat while I was eating, and then I took it to the wash... I was just doing the laundry."

Zuo Ma Tiexin remembered sweating profusely: "Xiaoyou, quickly take out your Pinocchio flower, everything I said is true..."

"Hey... push it away!"

Marulu waved.

He and Knuckles looked at each other and felt a sense of mutual understanding.

Unexpectedly, they uncovered a 'long-planned' murder case.

“Really—”

Sheng Zhangren and Zhen Zhong Kengo pulled the man away, then Ma Tiexin screamed in pain...

But at this time, no one paid attention to him anymore.

Because the system prompted that someone had entered the base and even opened the door to the operations room.

"Well, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, Captain Tatsumi walked in and looked at the people struggling.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned.

"Hahaha, Captain, I miss you so much!"

Zuo Ma Tiexin was very excited, and then he couldn't help but feel refreshed.
