Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

Finally giving up on arguing about the name, Fairy Airi explained with a smile, "What an amazing typewriter."

Upon hearing this, Durandal's eyes lit up.

If they had had this device sooner, she and Mei wouldn't have had to waste so much time in Paradise, right?

Personally, she also admits that she can have more insights by communicating with the heroes face-to-face.

"So, how do we use this typewriter?" Mei asked calmly.

"Just print out what you want to search for on the typewriter, and it will automatically give you the answer."

"Fairy Airi said with a smile."

"I see." Mei nodded and her fingers immediately began to dance across the keyboard.

clatter--

The next second, Mei suddenly paused, her gaze turning to the fairy-like girl beside her:

"If that's the case, then we can use this typewriter without waking up the fairy Ellie, right?"

"Hee hee~"

Alicia simply chuckled sweetly at this.

She never said that only by waking up the fairy Ellie could the typewriter work.

"..."

Her pupils widened in an instant, and Yulandel's delicate body trembled uncontrollably.

At that moment, she realized how dark this paradise of the past was, filled with the exploitation and persecution of honest people.

Mei glanced at the blonde Valkyrie with a hint of pity and typed the last character of her question: [The Truth About the Thirteenth Herrscher].

Swah——

The sound of pages turning filled the air as a pristine sheet of white paper was ejected from the typewriter.

"Empty?"

Picking up the white paper and feeling the faint warmth remaining on it, Mei frowned immediately.

"Your question is too broad."

To answer this question, I'd have to print out my entire life's memories.

As if she felt apologetic for her previous teasing, Alicia took the initiative to explain, "This time, let's try some more specific questions."

"..."

Mei nodded thoughtfully, and just as she was about to ask another question, another blank sheet of paper was ejected from the typewriter.

"What's going on here?"

Looking at the pre-civilization characters on the white paper, which were not unfamiliar but she still couldn't recognize them, Mei's eyebrows furrowed again.

She hasn't even asked a question yet!

"This happens all the time."

The fairy Ellie said, "This typewriter has always been there."

If no one operates it, it will automatically print out important events that occur within Paradise.

"That sounds quite reasonable."

With a casual remark, Mei picked up the paper, and the obscure, pre-civilizational characters on it instantly transformed into contemporary characters that the girl could easily understand.

Upon seeing this line of text, Mei's pupils constricted involuntarily, and her body began to tremble.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Mei? Even if you saw it..."

With a smile, Alicia leaned in and looked over, her voice immediately falling silent.

"What happened?"

Noticing their unusual behavior, Durandal asked in confusion, "Kevin... he's dead."

Taking a deep breath, Mei handed the paper in her hand to Durandal, on which were printed the words "Kevin is dead" in large print.

"That's impossible! With Kevin's strength, no one in Paradise could kill him!"

Upon seeing the facts confirmed by the typewriter, Durandal immediately rejected them.

Although Paradise Kevin's strength is not as terrifying as that in the real world, he is not someone who can be killed easily.

Even if she wanted to kill Kevin, it would be absolutely impossible.

Because before she and Kevin can truly determine a winner, this paradise will be obliterated first.

In other words, there was no way to physically eliminate Kevin before Paradise was destroyed.

"But that's what it is."

Mei said firmly, glancing at the fairy-like girl beside her, "Alicia, do you have anything to explain?"

As fellow heroes among musicians, and second only to Kevin, the other party should know more.

"No, I'm just as surprised as you are. Even in my understanding, there's no way to kill Kevin."

Alicia shook her head and said, her face unusually devoid of a smile.

"..."

Mei glanced at the fairy lady, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes, before typing "[The Truth About Kevin's Death]" on the typewriter.

Swah——

Another pristine sheet of paper was expelled.

"It really doesn't work..."

Not surprised by the result, Mei simply sighed softly.

If the truth could be known so easily, then the murderer who killed Kevin was far too careless.

“In the Paradise Database, this part of the information is completely blank,” the fairy Ellie explained.

"Alicia, where is Naraku now!?"

As if suddenly remembering something, Mei turned to look at the pink fairy. "You suspect Naraku is the murderer?"

Durandal frowned and asked.

“He is the most likely person to do this,” Mei said calmly, her expression turning somewhat serious.

In the Land of Bliss, only the top three heroes are those she is not yet confident of defeating.

"But he is the least motivated person to do so."

Aisin-Hiya defended herself.

"Some things can only be understood by confronting each other face to face."

Mei answered calmly, her fingers flying across the keyboard as she typed "[Naraku's current location]" into the typewriter.

Swah——

Another blank sheet of paper was produced. Mei:

Is this broken typewriter even usable anymore!?

"This information is not in the database."

Shaking her head, Fairy Airi asked with a hint of curiosity, "By the way, is Naraku also a visitor? Why isn't he with you?"

……

In an instant, Mei and Durandal's gazes fell simultaneously on Alicia's face.

"Alissia, who exactly is Naraku!?" Mei asked, enunciating each word clearly, her expression instantly turning extremely somber.

At this moment, she was finally able to be certain that the man who called himself Naraku was definitely not Yingjie.

At the very least, the other party certainly didn't become a hero through normal means!

"that……"

Meeting the sharp gazes of the two girls, Alicia immediately began to stammer.

Come.

Seeing the fairy-like girl's embarrassment, Mei suddenly had a flash of inspiration and quickly typed on the typewriter: [Shihen's current location].

"Raiden Mei?"

Noticing the girl's actions, Durandal couldn't help but have a long string of question marks appear above her head.

As the current leader of Anti-Entropy, the young man should still be in charge of the alliance's overall planning for the fight against the Honkai, so how could he possibly be in the Land of the Dead...?

Swah——

Under the almost dazed gaze of the female knight, a piece of paper, no longer pristine white, was slowly spat out by the typewriter.

Before the paper was completely ejected, the typewriter began to tremble, as if it were bearing a terrifying burden that a typewriter should not be carrying, and then...

boom!

A sudden burst of light ignited, and the entire typewriter instantly disintegrated into countless fragments. Even the blank sheet of paper that hadn't yet been dispensed turned to dust. Only a fragment bearing the boy's name slowly drifted down and landed in Mei's hand.

Clutching tightly the charred scraps of paper in her hand, with only the words "Time Marks" still faintly discernible, Mei's expression was somber, like a volcano about to erupt.

PS: 5 words, that's considered an extra chapter. I'll continue tomorrow. *cough*

Chapter 215 The Paradise Gradually Turns Dark

When Mei and the others came out of the archives, the square outside was already full of Yingjie, and the obituary of "Kevin is dead" was still drifting in the sky.

"Alicia, what are you guys up to now?"

Holding a piece of white paper with the words "Kevin is dead" written on it, Mebius was the first to step forward and question the matter.

As a fellow heroine, she naturally knew of the existence of the Paradise Typewriter and understood that anything recorded by the typewriter was an undeniable fact.

But that's precisely why she finds it even more unbelievable.

As the symbol of Paradise's strongest military force, how could Kevin possibly be killed silently by someone else?

"Dear Möbius, would you believe me if I said this matter actually had nothing to do with me?"

With her hands helplessly outstretched, Alicia blinked and said.

Yes, from planning to execution, it has always been the boy who has been in charge, so she was not lying.

"Heh~ So do you think I'll believe you? Traitor!"

When faced with Alicia's innocent expression, Mebius simply gave a cold laugh.

If Kevin's death wasn't something Alicia and that little man did, she'd rather wear the pink dress he gave her for a hundred days straight.

“Mébius, it’s best not to jump to conclusions before the facts are confirmed. So, please calm down.”

Seeing the green-haired doctor's obviously overly emotional state, the understanding Aponia gently advised him.

Calming down in an instant, Möbius immediately turned his gaze to the nun, gritting his teeth as he said, "Abonya!"

Sure enough, this kind of fat guy has no brains.

Can't this nun see that the only people in the entire Paradise capable of killing Kevin are Alicia and that little man?

It must be that the boy and Alicia wanted to seize Paradise, but Kevin discovered their plan. So the two of them decided to go all out and assassinate Kevin!

Even Kevin has fallen. If they don't unite now, they'll be devoured by these two bastards sooner or later!

By then, the entire paradise will have completely become a "paradise" where the boy and Alicia can do whatever they want!

"Hmph! I get it, this must be what they call the great transformation of a living person."

When we all think Kevin is dead, then you conjure him up again.

Although the idea is a bit old-fashioned, just for the ingenuity that can fool everyone, I, Wilvi, approve of you.

She adjusted her hat, a glint of all-knowing wisdom flashing in her eyes.

Alicia: "..."
