They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 332 Who Killed the Robin?
Danlei was very surprised by the death of the robin, because it was highly unlikely that Mianmian was responsible this time.

It's important to understand that the reason Pinocchio Werewolf was able to close out in the end was because the two "murder cases" in the early stages were, in principle, just Mianmian sending the victims to Liumeng Reef.

However, Mianmian's transportation methods were too hardcore, and its appearance was indeed frightening, which led to the misunderstanding of murder.

Now, in one of the two murder cases, "Mianmian" can almost be ruled out as a suspect.

That's where things get interesting. Now, either a new "wolf" has appeared, or the original "ordinary village" in the game has turned into a "wolf."

Moreover, Danlei didn't know where the robin had gone after its death.

According to Sunday's account, in reality, the robin's body is currently in a vegetative state.

Her consciousness has vanished, or rather, it seems she has perished.

You should know that this situation is extremely dangerous.

At this moment, Sunday dared not lift Robin's body out of the Dream Pool, fearing that if she had a chance to regain consciousness later, the absence of her body in the Dream Pool would cause secondary damage.

Pinocchio's "Dream Crime Files" clearly records that an android named Domanda was attacked by memes in a dream, resulting in severe damage to the electronic components of her body in reality.

Later, due to the aging of the AI's functions and the malfunction of its thinking components, Domanda launched multiple terrorist attacks on Pinocchio's dreams, causing several building collapses and meme generation incidents, resulting in varying degrees of mental damage to a total of 1958 people, of whom 35 Dream Chasers will have to rely on special memory-enhancing drugs to survive for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, it is quite clear that death in dreams can potentially cause psychological damage.

Pinocchio has been able to operate for so long while still concealing these things from the outside world for two reasons: firstly, the probability of this happening is indeed low, and secondly, dreams do have protective mechanisms, making it difficult for tourists to suffer mental damage.

Secondly, all those involved will have their memories erased by the five major factions, so no one will publicly disclose that their partner was attacked.

This matter is also recorded in the book "Fragments of the Victims List of the Memories of the Realm".

Therefore, in order to find out about the robin, Dan Lei had to go to the Huyspar.

So Danlei arranged for Draig and Albion to go and talk to the Black Swan.

He took Artoria to the Hueco Marble.

Upon arriving at the Huichangshi and boarding the ship, Danlei saw Sunday and Audi Avefa waiting for him at the port.

At this moment, Sunday still wore his signature welcoming expression, but Dan Lei could sense that he was suppressing a raging fire of anger.

As for old Audi, he acted as if nothing had happened, as if the robin's death was merely a small footnote in his long life experience. Upon seeing Dan Lei arrive, he cheerfully walked over and opened his arms to welcome him.

"Ho ho ho ho! Welcome, Mr. Danlei, aboard the Huichangshi!"

Old Odi, as a Pipisi, was quite large for his kind, but still short compared to normal humans.

Therefore, hugging is not a suitable action for him, because a normal adult would have to squat down to hug him.

Danlei clearly wouldn't kneel down just to hug Old Man Auerdi, so he deliberately put on a serious expression and said...

"No need for pleasantries. Take me to the scene of the robin's attack, and then tell me everything you've found out."

"On Sunday, old Audy, regarding the robin attack, I want you to tell me everything you know."

Danlei had no idea what the old man, Auerfield, would think of Danlei's attitude.

However, Sunday was relatively satisfactory.

Because Danley was not highly suspicious of the attack on the robin, she had no reason to assassinate her here.

You said Danlei would kidnap the robin and do things that are inappropriate for children, and I believed you a little more on Sunday.

But if you say that Dan Lei stabbed the robin through the abdomen from behind and then threw it into the surveillance area of ​​the Huichangshi ship, letting the body dissipate naturally as a provocation, then you are insulting your own intelligence.

So, on the way to the murder site, Sunday told him what he had found out.

Actually, he doesn't know much right now.

On Sunday, they learned about Caster's situation, and the two siblings made no attempt to hide the information about each other's heroic spirits.

So on Sunday, it was highly likely that the robin had come to Old Man Otto to resolve the issue of Caster's real name.

However, according to old Audie, he only agreed to the robin's visit, and before he even met the robin, the robin was assassinated.

Old Emperor's words can be largely verified; on Sunday, he allowed Joan of Arc to use one of her powers.

Metatron is believed to be the agent of the gods, standing beside the throne and performing miracles on behalf of the gods.

The story in Exodus, "Then the Lord used a strong east wind to make all the seas recede overnight, and the seas became dry land," was carried out by Metatron.

Therefore, Metatron has the authority to act as a substitute for the divine.

Today, she is wielding the power of order.

For ordinary people, once Metatron establishes an order that prohibits lying, they cannot lie, nor can they evade problems by talking about other things.

On the issue of the robin, Sunday showed no mercy whatsoever, and even old Audie himself was questioned by Metatron.

Fortunately, old Emperor had no motive or intention to kill the robin; he only wanted the robin to exchange his name for Asna.

All I can say is that, under normal circumstances, Sunday would definitely warn old Austrian not to even think about restricting the robin in the slightest.

But now, he no longer has the energy to be angry about it.

Therefore, on Sunday, old Aude temporarily ruled out the possibility of assassinating the robin.

Soon, Danlei arrived at the location where the robin had been assassinated.

As usual, Dan Lei first read through the memory matter that formed the hull of the Huichangshi ship, then frowned and asked Old Aodi.

"Mr. Audi, are you sure the Huechangshi has never had any uninvited guests or traitors?"
The traces of memory deletion in the surrounding area are quite obvious; all records before and after Miss Robin's assassination are missing.

Regarding Dan Lei's question, the old coach did not hide anything in his reply.
"The identity of the uninvited guest is uncertain, but the security system and staff on the Huichangshi have not detected anything unusual."

It seems I'll have to really improve security on this ship.

However, since the Huichangshi is under maintenance, no tourists are allowed to board.

If there really is an uninvited guest, then they must be a master.

As for the traitor, all the employees on the Huichangshi, including myself, were questioned by the spirit of the Sunday family head, and no traitor was found.

When Old Man Au said that, Dan Lei immediately felt that there was something fishy about the death of the robin.

With Mianmian's suspicions largely ruled out and there being no mole, who else could have infiltrated the Huichangshi to assassinate her? And who else could have deleted all the surrounding memory records?

Hanabi is one, but given her personality, she definitely wouldn't personally carry out the assassination. If she really wanted to do something to Robin, she would choose to blow her up with a bomb. As for Kurumi, she uses a gun; she wouldn't suddenly switch to using a knife to kill someone for no reason.

Pinocene's memory users also possess this ability, and those extreme memory users have the motivation to take action in order to seize memories.

However, the robin is no pushover. Even though Caster has lost his abilities due to the absence of his real name, he is still a seasoned veteran.

An ordinary person would certainly not allow a robin to be pierced before it could even resist.

Even if a black swan event were to occur, it would probably be difficult.

Moreover, those who harm others usually attack their spirit through various means; they would never stab someone in the back.

Gallagher, with his mysterious powers, can do all of the above, but why would he attack the robin for no reason? His goal is to pass on the watchmaker's legacy to the nameless person who can solve the mystery.

In the game, he didn't provoke the robin at all.

It was Sand Gold who secretly reminded the robin Pinocchio of some unspeakable secret lurking beneath the light. Then she secretly flipped through the Oak Family Register, which was not open to her, and summoned Sleepy to bring her to Dream Reef.

If it's unlikely that all the capable people are available, then we're left with people who have motivation but whose abilities are questionable, and people who have ability but no motivation.

For example, there's the gold nugget currently being hunted by the five major factions. (Since the company has openly sent a fleet, the five major factions have stopped pretending.)
For example, Chadwick, the Avenger, whose whereabouts are unknown.

For example, Huang Quan, who was accompanied by Xiao Huanlong.

For example, Dan Lei himself.

Therefore, after this investigation, apart from confirming that the murderer and his accomplice (whose involvement is questionable) had the ability to destroy the records within the surrounding memory structure without damaging it, Dan Lei gained nothing else.

This was an event completely outside of his known plot, so Danlei did not possess any precognitive abilities.

So Danlei recounted his entire investigation truthfully, concealing some of his suspicions, and finally concluded with a plausible excuse.

"I think the murderer's purpose in assassinating the robin at this time can only be one thing: to divert the attention of the five major Pinocchio families and prevent you from doing anything else."

Perhaps it's a competitor of the company, and they want to ensure you can't find Dr. Chadwick and guarantee the emission of the imaginary collapse pulse.

Perhaps it's a company spy trying to weaken your forces and disrupt your preparations for the company's operation.

Dan Lei's words were as good as saying nothing; Sunday and Old Ao Di could figure this out themselves.

So on Sunday he said to Danlei
"Danlei, come with me to the bow of the boat."

After saying that, he walked away on his own.

Danlei didn't know why he was invited to the bow of the ship on Sunday, so he followed along with Artoria.

The bow of the Huichangshi was deserted. Dan Lei didn't see the origami bird, Lady Feise, here. Obviously, only Xing could see origami birds.

After all, in the game, in this very scene, it seems that even on March 7th, when the stars are nowhere to be seen, the person running up the mast is just teasing the origami bird.

So, seeing that no one was around, and after confirming with Metatron that no one was listening, Sunday directly stated his purpose.
"Danlei, although I don't think you were the one who assassinated the robin."

But since it involves robins, I cannot omit even the slightest detail, so please excuse me.

After Sunday finished speaking, Dan Lei clearly felt a change in the atmosphere around him, as the "harmony" (order) power that permeated Pinocene began to converge in this area.

Obviously, it was Sunday—no, Metatron did something.

Dan Lei is upright and has nothing to fear. Although Sunday's behavior was somewhat provocative, at this moment, Dan Lei decided to grant this sister-obsessed man some forgiveness.

Danlei then gestured to Artoria, who had sensed the threat and summoned the Holy Lance, not to act yet. He silently channeled the power of the Hunting Commander and then asked Sunday...

“Sunday, is this Metatron’s power? Are you sure this power will prevent me from lying?”

Metatron answered this question directly on Sunday's behalf, drawing her weapon, the [Divine Writing Brush], and said...

"This borrowed power naturally cannot force you to tell the truth."

You possess power equal to mine, so you can naturally contend with authority.

However, I can still use this power to judge whether you are lying through your resistance.

After all, lying triggers your powers, and it's impossible for you to resist without me noticing.

Upon hearing Metatron's words, Dan Lei immediately sneered.
"So, this is an interrogation?"

Metatron shook his head.

“This is not an interrogation. There is no need for you to interrogate me. If I truly believe you are the murderer, I will hold a trial and act as the judge to conduct the trial.”

Dan Lei laughed genuinely upon hearing this. "Your trial of Joan of Arc? To be precise, was the trial of the person named Joan of Arc ever truly fair?"

Based on what Danlei knows, in terms of fairness alone, Jeanne d'Arc (White) is not as good as Jeanne d'Arc (Black).

At least Jeanne Alter is truly fair and wants to burn all her enemies to ashes.

However, Danlei knew that if he continued to resist being questioned, Sunday would only become more wary of him as order was restored.

For the philosophical embryo of order, Dan Lei still said...
"Alright, ask me anything related to the robin assassination."

However, I want to make it clear beforehand that I will refuse to answer any questions I deem irrelevant.

Seeing Dan Lei's response, Sunday nodded to Metatron, who then asked directly...

"First of all, the first question is, are you really not involved in any planning or execution of the Robin assassination?"

Dan Lei answered instantly
"Of course not, I was very surprised when I received the message."

That was the truth, so Metatron didn't notice the problem and asked again.
"Do you really have absolutely no clue about the killer?"

Danlei answered the question instantly.
"There are many suspicions, but not a single piece of evidence."

Dan Lei's words were also true, because there was absolutely no evidence pointing to the suspects in Dan Lei's mind.

Dan Lei had already mentioned suspected targets such as agarwood, Chadwick, and extreme memory sufferers.

Seeing that Danlei was still not lying, Metatron asked again.
"One last question, Danlei, are you really on our side?"

This is a very pointed question. Although it has nothing to do with the robin assassination, Dan Lei's refusal to answer it would suggest he has something to hide.

However, Dan Lei reacted quickly and answered with a smile.
"On Sunday, I'm on the side of bringing forth the embryo of the philosophy of order."
