Chapter 481
【Stelle:??? I didn't add you to the group, did I?】
【Where Should Fireworks Be Viewed From: It's Lady Sparkle, darling. My specialty is showing up uninvited.】
【Where Should Fireworks Be Viewed From: Alright! Jokes aside, Lady Sparkle says this information is extremely important, so listen up.】
【Where Should Fireworks Be Viewed From: "Actually, there are 1,000 dolls on the 【Radiant Feldspar】—to reward everyone for your hard work, Lady Sparkle has decided to be merciful and send you the coordinates of the final doll hiding the bomb!"】
【Where Should Fireworks Be Viewed From: Although you have much more than ten minutes, you'd better hurry, okay? If you don't make it in time, that would be a huge disaster!】
【Where Should Fireworks Be Viewed From: After all, Robin, you wouldn't want everyone to know that 【the Family's protection of Penacony has failed】, would you...】
【Where Should Fireworks Be Viewed From: "Off you go now, great heroes who are going to save the world~"】
【Following a Sparkle sticker, only the system message that 【Where Should Fireworks Be Viewed From】 had left the group chat remained.】
【Robin: Everyone, don't be distracted by her malicious prank.】
【Robin: Shall we meet at the coordinates?】
【March 7th: Once we catch her... we must teach her a good lesson!】
【After sending the message, March 7th still felt it wasn't enough, so she sent an angry March 7th sticker.】
Where the Astral Express is located.
March 7th slapped the table and said, "Fine, I knew this Sparkle wouldn't let us succeed so easily."
Dan Heng lowered his head in thought and said, "However, is it really okay for Sparkle to tell us the location of the bomb like this?"
"Doesn't this mean she's deliberately letting us go defuse the bomb? Then what is her reason for doing this?"
March 7th pouted and said, "Maybe she just wants to watch us run around in a panic for her own amusement."
Welt Yang adjusted his glasses and said, "While it's not impossible for a Masked Fool to be like this, I feel that Sparkle shouldn't be the type of person satisfied with this level of amusement."
The Luo Fu Xianzhou.
The Divination Commission.
Qingque saw that Sparkle said things weren't over yet, and instead breathed a sigh of relief, nodding: "I said so, Sparkle doesn't look like someone who would be defeated so easily."
Fu Xuan looked at the game screen on her phone, also guessing in her heart, what exactly is Sparkle's goal?
At the very least, Fu Xuan could be certain that Sparkle definitely wasn't trying to blow up Penacony; otherwise, she wouldn't have pulled this stunt and left so much time.
(What exactly is she trying to achieve?)
(Or rather, for what purpose did the person who hired her to come to Penacony do so?)
Vaguely, Fu Xuan seemed to catch a glimmer of inspiration, but it vanished in an instant.
That feeling was like an inspiration flashing through her mind one moment, and leaving no trace the next, as if it were an illusion.
This feeling was very uncomfortable; Fu Xuan frowned, trying desperately to recall.
But it seemed that because it was too deliberate, the more she wanted to remember, the harder it was to think of it.
【In the game story, after reading the messages in the group, Stelle put away her phone and hurried toward the location Sparkle had given—】
【(Not much time left... I hope it's not too late.)】
【After Stelle arrived at the location Sparkle gave, by the pool at the stern of the Radiant Feldspar, which was also where the Charmony Festival opening ceremony had been held.】
【However, there was no longer the previous bustle and crowd here; because of Sparkle's bomb incident, the Family had evacuated the masses, and it appeared extremely quiet here at this moment.】
【Strangely, after Stelle arrived here, she didn't see her companions from the group, but instead saw an unexpected figure.】
【(That is... Firefly?)】
【A flash of surprise crossed Stelle's eyes, and she stepped forward, about to ask.】
【She then saw Firefly staring straight at that Sparkle doll in the pool—the 【real bomb】 doll!】
【At this moment, that 【real bomb】 doll was constantly counting down: —】
【"Twenty-eight minutes and forty-six seconds... twenty-eight minutes and forty-five seconds..."】
The livestream room.
"Twenty-eight minutes? Including the time to get here, it should be about half a system hour."
"That should be about right; the time is indeed relatively generous."
"But what should be done about this? How is the bomb to be solved?"
"Waiting... seeing Miss Firefly there, I suddenly have a bad premonition!"
"You don't mean to say..."
"... Miss Firefly's third death!"
"No... it can't be!"
【In the game story, sensing the movement behind her, Firefly turned around and also saw Stelle, saying somewhat panickedly: "... Ah, you're here!"】
【Stelle looked at Firefly and said somewhat urgently: "How is the situation with the bomb?"】
【Firefly nodded slightly and said: "It seems she sent you a message too..."】
【Subsequently, Firefly also recounted the situation she encountered: "Since you appeared here... then I'll make a long story short. About half an hour ago, I received a message from an unknown sender and rushed over immediately."】
【Just as Firefly and Stelle were talking, in the pool, that 【real bomb】 doll was still counting down continuously—】
【"Twenty-seven minutes and fifty-two seconds... twenty-seven minutes and fifty-one seconds..."】
【It wasn't just a mechanical countdown; this 【real bomb】 doll seemed to be getting more and more excited, and the tone of the countdown numbers was becoming increasingly urgent and impassioned.】
【Firefly and Stelle stood side by side by the pool, as if they were in their secret base, only the situation at this time was much more dangerous.】
【Firefly looked at that 【real bomb】 doll in the pool, a solemn look flashing in her eyes, and said: "The sweet dream has lost the protection of 【Order】; if it were to explode here... the consequences would be unimaginable. I have studied it for a long time, but the construction of this bomb is very special, as if it has been locked by some inexplicable Path power..."】
【"Except for the creator, I'm afraid no one can make it stop."】
【Stelle looked at Firefly and comforted her: "Don't worry, many people are on their way."】
【Firefly shook her head slightly and said: "You mean the guests of the 【Watchmaker】? Unfortunately... based on my experience, there is probably no one present who can change the status quo."】
【"A Memokeeper might be able to move the bomb to an uninhabited place, but... I found this note inside the doll."】
【Firefly handed the note to Stelle, and the content appeared on the screen—】
【This is a meme virus. exe】
【!!! WARNING!!!】
【A meme virus has been implanted in this imaginary neutron bullet. Meme lifeforms (especially Memokeepers) (especially Black Swan) please do not touch, otherwise—】
【Those who touch it will have a 72.36 probability of turning into a—】
【Banana banana banana banana banana banana banana banana banana banana banana...】
【Banana banana banana banana banana banana banana banana banana banana banana...】
【Banana banana banana banana banana banana banana banana banana banana banana...】
【Note: She is serious.】
【Another note: Really! If you don't believe it, try it and see.】
【Seeing Stelle finish reading the note, Firefly said: "I don't know what grudge they have... but this path is also blocked."】
The livestream room.
"Hahahaha, sorry, sorry, although it's very inappropriate to laugh out loud now, I really can't help it."
"It's okay, you're not alone!"
"It's okay, you're not alone!"
"It's okay, you're not alone!"
"It's okay, you're not alone!"
"Forget it, I'm tired, you guys can play with the memes if you want."
"This note is simply blatantly targeting Black Swan, hehehe, the petty Lady Sparkle is also very cute."
"The guy upstairs, please keep generating power!"
"What grudge they have, this has to be traced back to the plot of the Masked Duet..."
"Hehehe, but Sparkle teaming up with Sampo did indeed trick Miss Black Swan in the end, but Miss Black Swan is not someone to be trifled with either; she instantly showed a little bit of a Memokeeper's means, but it probably left quite a shadow on Sparkle."
"That's for sure, but Sparkle and Sampo both forgot each other's various memories; I still remember Sampo didn't even have the memory of coming to Penacony and thought he was still in Belobog."
"After all, Sampo only came to Penacony because of Sparkle; if he forgot Sparkle, maybe even the related memories disappeared completely."
"Fortunately, Miss Black Swan wasn't too harsh; after she left, Sampo and Sparkle also recovered their memories. It can only be said that if a Memokeeper wants to do evil, it is indeed too terrifying."
"But obviously because Sparkle suffered this loss, she is extremely wary of Miss Black Swan; otherwise, she wouldn't have left such an obviously targeted note."
"Hehehehehehe, Lady Sparkle is really cute!"
Somewhere in the universe.
Sampo glanced at the Masked Fool girl who still had a smile on her face, then quickly withdrew his gaze.
Sampo didn't know if Sparkle really didn't care about this, or... if it had already been deeply engraved in her heart.
