Chapter 269

"Where can I get this Pom-Pom doll, I want one."

"I want one too, but I haven't seen it for sale anywhere until today."

"I'm so envious of the people on the Astral Express, they can see Pom-Pom every day."

The Astral Express.

Parlor Car.

Pom-Pom blushed and laughed: "This conductor is still quite popular, but can you put clothes on that Pom-Pom doll? I'm a bit shy."

【Finally, Black Swan and Sampo found a safety regulation, which wrote three contents—】

【First, all retainers and visitors need to pass the facial recognition system to enter the Golden Hammer mansion; second, those who cannot pass the facial recognition system will be shot on the spot; this regulation is permanently valid.】

【By this point, who the murderer was actually had a clue.】

【Because Zhong Shan's face was injured, he would not go to the Golden Hammer mansion before his appearance was restored to avoid being shot by the safety recognition system. Zorro's hand was injured, and that giant hammer couldn't be danced with one hand, so only Anyou remained.】

【However, when Black Swan told the head constable who the real murderer was, Sparkle did not appear, but instead set the location of the next puzzle.】

【Sampo didn't understand: "Ah? The next puzzle, this is different from what we agreed on."】

【Black Swan shook her head slightly and said: "It seems the key to victory is not the puzzle itself. If we can't see through the true intention behind Miss Sparkle's strange behavior... I'm afraid this chase will never end."】

【Sampo looked at Black Swan and said: "I have to remind you, that Sparkle is a Masked Fool. You intend to find logic in the head of a Masked Fool."】

【Black Swan said calmly: "I did consider this. Even if there is no law subjectively, behavior will definitely leave some commonality—memory will not lie, it may know her essence better than the girl herself."】

【"Right now, let's just follow her intentions and go to the location of the next question. I hope we can catch up with the Bloodhound Family this time. If possible, I don't want to use the Memokeeper's ability."】

【On the way, Sampo asked curiously: "So, why are you so concerned about Sparkle's challenge? Or... are you concerned about her as a person?"】

【Black Swan smiled lightly and said: "I said, this is just out of some... small competitive spirit."】

【"And, as a Memokeeper, I also have to fulfill my duty to harvest some 【interesting enough】 memories."】

The Luo Fu Xianzhou.

The Seat of Divine Foresight.

Jing Yuan looked at Black Swan in the plot and smiled: "Memokeeper Black Swan of the Garden of Recollection, compared to Sparkle's flamboyant personality, you are the one who is truly unfathomable."

【Before long, Black Swan and Sampo arrived at the crime scene, and as soon as they arrived, they were shocked by the thick dubbed tone.】

【Afterward, from the mouths of the dreamscape monsters controlled by Sparkle, or rather the sheriff and deputy sheriff, they learned that the victim this time was still Sparkle, but her identity was no longer the head of the Golden Hammer family, but a wealthy merchant in the galaxy.】

【Sampo was somewhat speechless: "Sparkle again? Is she so keen on writing herself to death?"】

【The sheriff said through gritted teeth: "Oh, by the God of Elation, if you tear down my stage again, I swear I will kick your ass hard!"】

Many players playing to this point heard this sentence and instantly laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha, Sparkle was exposed by Sampo's anger, right."

"This feeling of being both fun and crazy is too intoxicating."

"Lord Sparkle, come and kick my ass, I beg you."

"Holy crap, brother, we are in public, restrain yourself a bit."

【However, after hearing the information about this case and going through a search, Black Swan gave an unexpected answer—】

【"In my opinion, there should be no murderer in this case."】

【Next, no matter what conclusion Black Swan said or what evidence she brought out, the answer given by the sheriff was correct, no matter how strange and unreasonable these speculations were in the sheriff's mouth.】

The livestream chat.

"Hahahaha, God-tier anti-theft device, can it be any stranger..."

"I'm laughing to death, who can tell me what kind of devil operation it is to swallow the ring to keep breathing smoothly."

"This is Sparkle's prank, it's really her unique style full of craziness and fun."

【Leaving here, on the way to the next place, Sampo sighed: "It's just as you said, the decryption is just a pretext, that girl is just taking us for fun. What should we do now, just be led by the nose by her?"】

【Black Swan smiled and said softly: "Miss Sparkle is indeed an interesting person. Her heart seems chaotic, but it is also easy to understand, like an actor on stage, and like a child longing to be watched."】

【"The game is about to end... This time, we will catch up with her."】

【Coming to the third location, from the mouth of the dreamscape monster controlled by Sparkle, they learned that a locked-room murder case happened here.】

【The victim was Sparkle as expected, but her setting this time became a great artist.】

【However, Black Swan did not follow Sparkle's arrangement to solve the puzzle this time: "I think now... Miss Sparkle is carefully arranging the next 【crime scene】, right?"】

【"Why not skip those complicated processes and have an open-hearted exchange with me? It might be a bit itchy."】

【After some Memokeeper's means, Black Swan said with satisfaction: "Hmm... child of the city. I know where you are, Miss Sparkle."】

【Instantly, the great detective played by Sparkle and Sampo said in unison: "How did you cheat!"】

【Black Swan looked at Sampo and smiled: "What's wrong, Mr. 【Detective Assistant】? You seem to be in a hurry."】

【Sampo smiled awkwardly: "Ah, no... I, this... haha, this locked-room murder case is interesting, I still want to guess..."】

【Black Swan didn't care about Sampo's words and said quietly: "Let's go—we can't keep a girl waiting too long."】

【Just when Black Swan turned around, the great detective and detective assistant played by the dreamscape monsters controlled by Sparkle hurriedly said: "Hey! Miss Black Swan, wait a moment, wait a moment! Lord Sparkle has one last thing to announce—"】

【In an instant, the screen turned to the stage under the spotlight, and Sparkle appeared brilliantly with a detective hat, holding glasses and a beard.】

【"Clang clang—now is the most exciting and romantic moment of a play: the audience challenge session!"】

【"As everyone knows, the terrible Masked Fool Sparkle can change into other people's appearance, and in this play, the great villain Sparkle has disguised herself as another character."】

【"Then may I ask—who exactly is this character!"】

【"In addition, if you are interested in the locked-room murder case that the Memokeeper didn't want to challenge, you can also try to reason about it. Don't waste the puzzle that Sparkle worked so hard to come up with!"】 【"Above is the challenge letter from 【Masked Genius】 Lord Sparkle! All clues are ready—wish you a happy hunt!"】

"This... is it for us players?"

"It feels a bit heart-pounding, but thinking it's Sparkle, I suddenly feel it's very normal."

"Hehehe, Lord Sparkle, so cute."

"Don't be in this barbershop."

"Who did Sparkle disguise as? Sampo?"

"It wouldn't be that simple, right."

【Sampo asked curiously: "Sister, if you have this method, why didn't you use it earlier?"】

【Black Swan explained: "Such a rough way is against my memory aesthetics, but sometimes for the sake of the result... I must also put down some restraint in the process."】

【Finally, Black Swan and Sampo came to the square with the Clockie statue.】

【In the center of the square, a trash can was placed alone, looking very abrupt.】

【Sampo looked at this scene and wondered: "No strange Dreamville troupe, no evidence all over the floor... we finally caught up with her. Uh, but what is that thing... a Belobog trash can? In Penacony?"】

【Just after Sampo finished complaining, the originally quiet trash can grew hands and feet and jumped up.】

【It even improvised a rap: "Hey! Dear Memokeeper, and Uncle Cold-Leg—you finally came!"】

【"I didn't expect you to skip the previous puzzle, that was my masterpiece! Forget it, forget it, Lord Sparkle doesn't hold grudges, come on, this is the last question—"】

【"Please listen to the question! What creature has four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening?"】
