Chapter 601: The Even More Abstract Firework Doll—Where Is the Bomb?

The video continues.

After confirming that this doll was just an ordinary doll,

Stelle received another message from the group.

【1111111】

【Poteo: To hell with Ooh-Ba, I give up.】

【Silverbranch: What's wrong, Silver Jeans?】

【Poteo: I found 217.】

【Poteo: Talking dolls.】

【Poteo: (Firework Doll. jpg)~】

【Poteo: Haha】

【Black Swan: Haha】

【March 7th: Haha】

【Poteo: This was only possible thanks to the Hounds and the guy with the plaster head.】

【Poteo: If we searched blindly, how long would it take?】

【Welt: Unfortunately... given the Fool's habits, we can only keep eliminating wrong answers.】

【Silverbranch: Don't lose heart—may Purity guide us!】

Stelle: "?"

Stelle: "What are you all laughing at?"

Stelle: "Why does everyone in the group seem to be going crazy?"

Stelle: "Like they've been infected by a virus."

Poteo: "He's probably obsessed because this doll is actually hilarious?"

Poteo: "The way this doll shakes its head and talks—it's damn funny."

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

March 7th: "Firework, didn't you say you were too lazy to make so many talking ones?"

Firework: "That's right~"

Firework: "I was lazy, not that I didn't make them."

Firework: "Besides, Lady Firework has a loyal fanbase helping out!"

Firework: "With helpers, it's naturally not so troublesome~"

Hu Tao: "Then Star Young Lady's doll is probably an exception."

Hu Tao: "Most of them likely still talk."

Furina: "By the way, everyone is pretty efficient, aren't they?"

Furina: "In just this short time, you've already found over three hundred."

Miss Qingque: "What can we do? If we don't race against time, they might all vanish soon."

Miss Qingque: "Don't be fooled by the three hundred—you're still far from nine hundred ninety-nine!"

Stelle: "Stay calm—we have plenty of people, so we'll find them easily!"

The video continues.

Stelle put down her phone,

and began searching for the third doll.

Moments later, in the lobby sofa,

she found the next Firework Doll!

【Ah, we meet again, Star Young Lady. I am the famed detective of Penacony.】

【What trouble have you encountered?】

【I am happy to assist you.】

【But unfortunately, I still have two unsolved cases...】

【Your issue may have to wait.】

Obviously,

this Firework Fumon doll,

can talk!

【I need your help to find a bomb.】

Stelle scratched her head,

and spoke to the doll before her.

【A bomb?】

【Damn... I forgot about that.】

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

【I need your help, Star Young Lady.】

【You've dealt with Dr. Firework many times, and given the bomb case mentioned earlier, you'll surely find evidence proving Dr. Firework is the killer.】

【The first case is the Su Leda Factory arson.】

【At the scene, we found a large hammer, a doll, and about half a liter of an unknown liquid.】

【The lab results just came back—it's a red herring.】

【The second case is the Blue Note Auction House robbery.】

【A gang of masked thugs broke into the venue and stole fragments of the Astral Express, leaving behind a giant hammer, a doll, and a half-dead red herring at the scene.】

【That's the whole case.】

【In my view, some common element between the two cases is the key to exposing Dr. Fofo.】

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

Stelle: "What have I been sent off to do?"

Stelle: "I came 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 one-eighty-degree U-turn?"

Miss Qingque: "Weren't we discussing the bomb?"

Miss Qingque: "Why are we suddenly mulling over red herrings again?"

Silver Wolf: "Honestly, isn't a red herring just a red herring?"

Silver Wolf: "Color a regular herring red, and you've got yourself a red herring."

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

Stelle: "So what does it actually look like?"

March 7th: "Hey, listen, you guys—now is the time to be discussing red herrings?"

Paimon: "Uh... maybe yes."
