Chapter 266

【Where did my two go??】

Stelle looks at the Catcher doll and questions it!

【Is that important?】

【I'm not even a real bomb!】

【Is it a surprise, an accident, a panic?】

【None? Really?】

【Alright, what a pity.】

【You really should learn how to please a girl!】

March 7th: "Uh, why do I feel like this scene is a bit..."

Miss Qingque: "Crazy!!"

Miss Qingque: "It's just too crazy!!"

Stelle: "Where is it crazy?"

Stelle: "I think it's pretty good?"

Silver Wolf: "This doll is so weird, and you can actually keep up with her brain circuit."

Silver Wolf: "Sure enough, you're also very weird."

Furina: "I suddenly feel... Miss Stelle might really get along well with Elation!"

Hu Tao: "That's right, look at how happily they're chatting?"

Lumine: "So... this doll is indeed a fake bomb?"

Lumine: "Then where is the real bomb?"

Dan Heng: "The real one might still be hidden in other dolls."

Topaz: "In that case, there aren't actually 999 Imaginary Neutron Bombs?"

Topaz: "Then it shouldn't be enough to blow Penacony to the sky."

Dr. Ratio: "That depends on the power of the Imaginary Neutron Bombs she used!"

Dr. Ratio: "If the power is strong enough, even one could be called a disaster!"

Sparkle: "Heh heh, how could Sparkle-sama use inferior products?"

Sparkle: "Of course, it's the most powerful one!"

Sparkle: "Heh, keep looking slowly~"

The video continues.

After the Catcher doll finishes speaking, it goes silent.

Seeing this, Stelle picks it up directly,

And checks it thoroughly,

Finding that it is indeed just a doll,

Only with a small remote-controlled speaker inside.

And at this moment, there is movement in the group chat.

Stelle hurriedly takes out her phone to check.

【1111111】

【Black Swan: There's progress on the bombs.】

【Black Swan: Good news and bad news.】

【Black Swan: Which one do you want to hear first?】

【Stelle:??? Why are you in the group too?】

【Black Swan: Simply put, I found 131 bombs that aren't bombs.】

【March 7th: These Masked Fools are really good at causing trouble...】

【Himeko: Don't worry, eliminating wrong answers is also a way to solve the problem.】

【Robin: The evacuation here is also proceeding in an orderly manner, and the Hounds have also joined the investigation work.】

【Robin: Everyone, keep it up!】

Stelle: "Good heavens, everyone in this group is an acquaintance!"

Stelle: "By the way, is this the gold content of a Memokeeper?"

Stelle: "I've only found one doll, and you've already found 131..."

Stelle: "What kind of efficiency is this?!"

Black Swan: "You know, for a Memokeeper, the Memoscape is my home turf."

Black Swan: "Finding things isn't that hard."

March 7th: "131 bombs that aren't bombs!"

March 7th: "It seems that the bomb Miss Black Swan found is the same as the one Stelle found, both are just playing a role?"

Paimon: "Playing the role of a bomb... sounds really strange and novel."

Furina: "If we investigate at this efficiency, it seems it's not impossible to recover all the dolls within ten minutes?"

Hu Tao: "It's mainly because Miss Stelle has too many capable people on her side, the efficiency is top-notch!"

Hu Tao: "Perhaps this crisis can be overcome without any danger..."

The video continues.

【Still some progress... keep working hard.】

Stelle puts her phone in her pocket,

And continues to look for dolls according to the map.

A moment later, she discovers the second doll.

【This is a Sparkle-styled Fumo doll.】

【According to the book "Modern Sparkle Vocabulary", the word Fumo was first born on Sparkle Planet in the Sparkle Galaxy in the Amber Era 2005, and originally meant fluffy.】

【Now, people on Sparkle Planet mostly use Fumo to refer to plush dolls.】

【In other words, Fumo doll means plush doll doll.】

【Sounds a bit strange, but considering it's Sparkle, it's reasonable.】

March 7th: "..."

March 7th: "Where did this strange narration come from?"

Asta: "Maybe it was added by the video creator for fun?"

Stelle: "Sparkle Galaxy Sparkle Planet Sparkle Planet people???"

Stelle: "Good heavens, do this galaxy and planet really exist?"

Sparkle: "Heh heh heh, guess!"

Miss Qingque: "And that plush doll doll thing, what kind of hellish name is that?"

Guinaifen: "I have to say, Miss Sparkle is worthy of being a Fool."

Guinaifen: "Her mental state is quite wonderful!"

Zhongli: "Reasoning from a universal perspective, I seem to have witnessed an alternative trend."

Zhongli: "It makes one sigh."

Stelle: "Director Sparkle's mental state is reassuring."

Silver Wolf: "Heh, you're not much better."

Firefly: "This doll looks very quiet."

Firefly: "Could it be a real bomb?"

Furina: "It should be able to talk too, right?"

Furina: "Let's listen to what strange things it has to say."

The video continues.

This doll remains silent,

Just staring at Stelle and watching her non-stop.

Seeing this, Stelle also stares at it.

However, after a moment,

This doll still doesn't have any movement.

Just like an ordinary doll.

Afterwards, Stelle can't help but pick it up to check,

Finding that it really is just an ordinary doll!

Stelle: "Fell for it!"

Stelle: "This is just an ordinary doll!"

Stelle: "I actually stood here staring at it!"

March 7th: "What about 'all is fair in war'?"

March 7th: "These dolls aren't all the same, right?"

Sparkle: "That's what I'm saying, making every doll talk would take a lot of effort, you know?"

Sparkle: "Just do it a little bit."

Sparkle: "Sparkle-sama doesn't have the leisure to modify every doll."

The video continues.

After checking that this doll was just an ordinary doll,

Stelle receives another message in the group.

【1111111】

【Boothill: To hell with the Wubbaboo, I give up.】

【Argenti: What's wrong, silver cowboy?】

【Boothill: I found 217.】

【Boothill: Talking dolls.】

【Boothill: (Sparkle doll picture. pg)~】

【Boothill: Haha】

【Black Swan: Haha】

【March 7th: Haha】

【Boothill: And that's with the Hounds and the guy with the plaster head helping me.】

【Boothill: If we were looking on our own, how long would it take?】

【Welt: Unfortunately... according to the habits of that Fool, we can probably only continue to eliminate wrong answers.】

【Argenti: Don't be discouraged—may Beauty lead us!】

Stelle: "?"

Stelle: "What are you all laughing about?"

Stelle: "Why does it feel like everyone in the group is becoming abnormal?"

Stelle: "Like they've caught a virus."

Boothill: "Damn it, probably because this doll is really funny?"

Boothill: "The way this doll shakes its head and talks is really damn hilarious."

March 7th: "Two hundred and seventeen talking dolls?"

March 7th: "Sparkle, didn't you say you were too lazy to make so many talk?"

Sparkle: "Right~"

Sparkle: "I'm lazy, but that doesn't mean I didn't do it."

Sparkle: "Besides, Sparkle-sama has a bunch of loyal fans helping out!"

Sparkle: "With helpers, it's naturally not that much trouble~"

Hu Tao: "Then I guess Miss Stelle's doll is an exception."

Hu Tao: "Maybe the talking ones are the majority."

Furina: "Speaking of which, everyone's efficiency is quite fast, right?"

Furina: "In just this short while, they've found over three hundred."

Miss Qingque: "No choice, if we don't race against time, we might all go to the sky in a moment."

Miss Qingque: "Don't look at the three hundred found, that's still a long way from 999!"

Stelle: "Calm down, we have a lot of people, it'll be easy to find!"

The video continues.

Stelle puts down her phone,

And starts looking for the third doll.

A moment later, on the sofa in the lobby,

She finds the next Sparkle doll!

【Oh, nice to see you again, Miss Stelle, I am the great detective of Penacony.】

【What trouble have you encountered?】

【I'm very happy to be at your service.】

【But unfortunately, I have two unsolved cases on hand...】

【Your problem might have to wait.】

It is obvious,

This Sparkle Fumo doll,

Can talk!

【I need your help to find a bomb.】

Stelle scratches her head,

And says to the doll in front of her.

【Bomb?】

【Damn... I forgot about this.】

【Dr. Sparkle is an expert in explosive chemistry!】

【I need your help, Miss Stelle.】

【You've dealt with Dr. Sparkle quite a bit, and combined with the bomb case just mentioned, you'll definitely be able to find evidence that Dr. Sparkle is the culprit.】

【The first case is the SoulGlad factory arson case.】

【We found a hammer, a doll, and about half a liter of unknown liquid at the scene.】

【The test just finished, and the results show it's a red herring.】

【The second case is the Blues auction robbery.】

【A group of masked thugs broke into the venue and stole the Astral Express fragment, and also left a hammer, a doll, and a half-dead red herring at the scene.】

【That's the whole case.】

【In my opinion, the common point between the two cases is the key to exposing Dr. Sparkle.】

Stelle: "Aren't I looking for a bomb?"

Stelle: "Where is this taking me?"

Stelle: "I'm here to find a bomb, not to solve a case!!"

Stelle: "By the way, is there really a red herring?"

Stelle: "What does it look like?"

Miss Qingque: "What kind of 180-degree turn is this?"

Miss Qingque: "Aren't we discussing bombs?"

Miss Qingque: "Why are we thinking about red herrings again?"

Silver Wolf: "To be fair, isn't a red herring just a red herring?"

Silver Wolf: "Just paint an ordinary herring red, and it's a red herring."

Stelle: "Oh, so that's how it is!"

Stelle: "So what does it look like?"

March 7th: "Hey, I'm asking you all, is now the time to discuss red herrings?"

Paimon: "Uh... maybe it is."
