【(Spontaneous human combustion... this should be the full picture of the event.)】

【(Check it carefully from the beginning, return to the conversation with Herta at the very beginning...)】

【Stelle explored the associated memory 【Herta's Commission】 again. With the change of the screen, Stelle's memory returned to Herta's office again.】

【In the conversation, only Herta was heard saying: "In case you didn't remember, I'll describe it again: that is a kind of xxx, no physical form, but possesses life."】

【"If you see traces of it, send me a signal."】

【Here, which is where the key memory was blurred, Stelle threw out the memory blind spot found before.】

【Subsequently, only Herta was heard saying: "In case you didn't remember, I'll describe it again: that is a kind of energy life, no physical form, but possesses life."】

【"If you see traces of it, send me a signal."】

【Stelle asked curiously: "Energy life?"】

【Herta said indifferently: "That's not the point. If it weren't related to the Genius Society, I wouldn't care about it."】

【"Anyway, work hard. I'm going out for a trip. If you want to find someone to help, you can ask Asta."】

【Up to now, all the previous memory blind spots have been clarified. It's just that, from the current point of view, it is still unclear what this so-called energy life is.】

Livestream room.

"This... a bit confused. Didn't Ms. Herta also not say clearly what specific curio it is?"

"Energy life, so it's these four characters. I thought it was the name of the curio."

"Me too. At first, I thought that as long as the blind spots where the memory was blurred were fixed, everything would be clear. I never expected..."

"It seems that things are indeed not simple."

"Speaking of which, it wouldn't really be Heliobi, right? It's still impossible to determine. Although it is very similar in terms of energy life, Adler seemed to have remembered something before. Maybe there will be an answer soon."

"Now I feel that staff disappearance, spontaneous human combustion, and the lost mysterious curio all have a connection."

"Don't forget, there was also the attack on Ms. Herta's puppet before. Maybe there is a connection."

"Holy crap, if you didn't say it, I would have almost forgotten. Speaking of which, the Trailblazer recalled this memory because of this, right?"

"Hey, me too. I almost forgot that the Trailblazer recalled this segment to find out the reason for seeing Herta last."

Stelle frowned and said: "Herta didn't mention what this lost curio is here either!?"

Himeko pondered: "Energy creature, although this range has narrowed down quite a bit, there are many kinds of wonderful creatures in the galaxy. It is not simple to find out what this is."

March 7th also rubbed her forehead and said helplessly: "It seems we can only see if that Little Adler can gain something. Didn't he seem to have noticed something before?"

【In the game plot, as the memories were all recalled, time also returned to the present from the memory.】

【Seeing Stelle finish telling what she knew, Dr. Ratio sighed softly, covered his forehead and said: "Sigh, thank you for this long and dull narrative, you must be tired—anyway, I'm tired of listening."】

Livestream room.

"Hahahahaha, the foster father is indeed the foster father, his words are quite sharp."

"But speaking of which, the memory content we just saw is indeed a bit long."

"After all, the game setting needs to peel the cocoon step by step and find the memory blind spots."

"It's not that I'm saying, if it were someone who doesn't know Dr. Ratio, they might really hate him because of this attitude."

"That's true. After all, Dr. Ratio's words are indeed quite piercing. Those with poor mentality might break down directly."

"But I think Dr. Ratio wouldn't care about this. After all, with his intelligence, would he care about this?"

"That's true. I guess Dr. Ratio wouldn't take these fearless things to heart."

【In the game plot, Dr. Ratio organized what Stelle said and said: "So, your last meeting with Herta was in her office. You accepted the commission, ran around for the curio, and knew nothing about other things, until Miss Asta contacted you."】

【Speaking of this, Dr. Ratio turned his head slightly, his peripheral vision swept past Asta behind him, and then looked at Stelle and continued: "If this is your claim, then I have a question: can anyone prove this?"】

【Stelle looked at Asta on the side. In the previous memory, Stelle also had contact with Asta.】

【To this, Dr. Ratio retorted: "No, she was not at the scene, just a retelling from your mouth—this cannot constitute proof."】

【Screwllum spoke at this time: "Logic: Can verify with Herta herself."】

【Dr. Ratio smiled slightly and said: "Hmm, start running now, maybe you can catch up with the company's connecting starship in four system hours—at the moment, no third party can testify for her."】

Livestream room.

"I have to say, the Trailblazer feels a bit wronged."

"This is more than a bit wronged, she was directly identified as a suspect, right?"

"Sigh, poor Trailblazer. She became a criminal suspect for no reason. I guess she feels very aggrieved."

"Although it's a bit unpleasant, I have to say that Dr. Ratio's words make sense. The previous memories were all from the Trailblazer, and the situation about Ms. Herta was also retold by the Trailblazer."

"Hmm, Asta also retold the relevant things from the Trailblazer, and did not communicate directly with Herta."

"Although we can know that the Trailblazer will not be the murderer, Dr. Ratio's suspicion is not wrong to some extent."

"It's just that I think Asta and Screwllum shouldn't believe that the Trailblazer would be the murderer who attacked Herta's puppet."

【Screwllum's elegant voice raised his own doubts: "Mr. Ratio, your way of asking questions always has a tendency to be preconceived."】

【Dr. Ratio apologized: "Excuse me, it's my bad habit. People engaged in academic research always find it difficult to believe something. On the contrary, questioning it is easier."】

【"Based on experience, this is also the most efficient way: seeking with a negative mentality is also a kind of seeking, which can also help us reach the correct end."】

March 7th looked at the plot in the game speechlessly, then looked at Stelle beside her, and sighed: "You are really full of disasters."

"Just experienced the battle with the Emanator of Propagation, and now you are suspected of being a murderer. What is this all about."

Welt Yang adjusted his glasses, his expression a bit puzzled: "This Professor Ratio's behavior is a bit strange. Although his suspicion has no loopholes in logic, there is always a feeling of doing it on purpose."

Speaking of this, Welt Yang shook his head and said: "Maybe I'm overthinking it. After all, Professor Ratio is not familiar with Stelle at this moment, and coupled with his style of doing things, it seems very normal."

March 7th pouted and said: "Although that's what is said, I really feel uncomfortable suspecting this guy, I'm a bit angry."

Stelle also crossed her arms on her chest, puffing out her cheeks, obviously unhappy.

Speaking of which, Stelle felt that she was a bit too unlucky. This was truly a disaster from heaven.

In the galaxy.

Pier Point.

Aventurine looked at Dr. Ratio's words and deeds in the game, the corners of his mouth hooked into a faint arc, and whispered to himself: "Professor Ratio, it seems your purpose in coming to this Herta Space Station is not simple either."

Genius Society.

Dr. Ratio was flipping through a book, his gaze occasionally glancing at the game plot in the livestream room, his expression calm, saying nothing.

Luo Fu Xianzhou.

Exalting Sanctum.

Yanqing looked at Dr. Ratio's attitude, his brows furrowed, and said: "So, Professor Ratio still put the suspicion on the Trailblazer?"

Jing Yuan nodded and said: "This might just be a smokescreen, but it's impossible to determine yet."

【In the game plot, Professor Ratio looked at the silent Asta and Screwllum, turned to look at Stelle, and said: "If she is indeed innocent, use your answers to clear your name."】

【In the game, Stelle's brows furrowed, her expression low, obviously unhappy about being treated as a suspect.】

【Subsequently, the game entered a specific interrogation screen!】

【With the prompt of the interrogation starting, Dr. Ratio also began to ask new questions: "According to your statement, the reason you met Herta was because you received a designated commission."】

【"The content of the commission is to find a curio whose name is not even known."】 ===== CHAPTER 602 =====
