[A best-selling item in Paradise—Mei's horn!]

[Padre: Sister Virvi, you... you've really hurt me.]

In the Golden Courtyard,

"...Well, first of all, I have to commend you for your earlier thoughts, Pado; those are normal emotions that a person should have."

"Then, to affirm what you did in your final dream, please quickly turn touching Mei's horn into your product."

Alicia said with a grin, teasing Paddo, who was sitting next to her, looking a little embarrassed and restless.

"Meow--"

The canned food wisely jumped out of Pado's arms, leaving only one cat standing there dumbfounded.

Paddy forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, and said pitifully, "Sister Airi... please, please don't say that. I can't do it, and neither can Mei-nee. It's all a misunderstanding!"

"How could I possibly be so bold as to do those things?!"

To encourage herself, she raised her head and tried to meet Mei's gaze directly, biting her lip, looking pitiful and endearing.

"No, of course you're bold. Didn't you say earlier that you'd capture Kevin and Qianjie to be your deliverymen, and have Alicia and Fu Hua watch the shop for you... Oh, right, that seems to be the same lineup that fought against the gods earlier. Maybe you could add someone like Su and Aponia who have the ability to foresee the future."

Mei pondered for a moment, then made her decision, "Pado, you have to believe... anything is possible."

Pado shook her head like a rattle-drum, frantically denying it.

She didn't want to be slandered like that; how could she possibly have that kind of power? Mei-nee... it's wrong to praise someone to death, especially to a cat!

"Stop talking, I'd only dream of something like that, Mei-nee!"

Paddy puffed out her cheeks and sighed.

She had already offended Brother Jie, but fortunately he didn't hold it against her; now that she was also on bad terms with Sister Mei, she had lost another source of supply.

Sigh, when will this ever end?

If she really has that ability...

"As expected of you, Paddy. But I'm going to be angry that you've set your sights on Mei!"

Kiana put her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow.

If it were Alicia who did that, she would definitely be furious; but with Paddo, she was really just saying it.

"Uh... How could I possibly have that kind of ability? Please spare me."

Pado said weakly.

"I've heard that dreams can become reality? But that's related to the power of the Stigmata, which I'm not quite sure about."

Vilvi grinned mischievously as she removed the step, nearly causing Pado to stumble again.

"Stop talking... I'm just a dreamer. Okay?"

Pado became a little withdrawn after being talked about, really... everyone loves to tease cute cats.

Just wait, she'll soon show them what instant death looks like.

“But Paddo is a very good hero, be confident, we have never denied you.”

Alicia patted her head and said with a smile.

"what?"

"Yes, we've always trusted you. Just as Pado always trusted her companions, we've always trusted you."

At this moment, Alicia seemed to be enveloped in a holy radiance, gently comforting the cat who had been hurt and even had bad thoughts.

“Indeed, my lord Alicia is right!”

Luo Mo sighed, "Twilight Street is full of talented people, but not all of them can be so fierce, right?"

Alicia, Qianjie, and Aponia all turned to look at Luo Mo.

For some reason, Pado felt that what the other person said made a lot of sense. Isn't it normal for one of the three to be the worst?

Wouldn't it be perfect if she and Jie Ge balanced things out?

"...I think you can remove the first sentence."

Alicia subtly twirled her fingers, indicating a hint, silently questioning Luo Mo.

And to turn back time to a certain point in the past.

When Raven was called out by Gray Serpent to carry out the mission, it was a top secret mission, and it had to be top secret.

She went with a gray snake to a warehouse, cut off all communication, and the world snake expelled everyone inside, including the gray snake network that no one had ever known before.

Although located in the city, it is almost completely isolated from the world.

This is because of this one enemy in the records... who is very troublesome and omnipresent.

The raven and the gray snake moved forward cautiously, afraid of getting themselves contaminated with anything.

The gray snake was clearly a bit of a chatterbox, talking non-stop, and the raven obviously had a good relationship with it, occasionally teasing it.

But she couldn't hide the palpitations in her heart.

However, anyone who comes into contact with that substance during this operation must be removed.

This is the only ironclad rule.

...

After clearing Pado of suspicion and revealing the final, concealed secret—which turned out to be nothing more than a farcical situation—Mei began to believe in the power of the hat.

Indeed, as she said, it is a quick and convenient method.

But before they could continue exploring Vilvie's memories, Hua's arrival disturbed the tranquility of the area.

Hua rushed over from afar, but judging from the anxious expression on her face, she was likely bringing bad news, not good news.

Her usually calm face was now filled with panic; she needed to urgently deliver a message—

But she was interrupted by Vilvi, who said that she also needed to go through the hat selection process, and besides... such an important matter was easier to describe in terms of scene than in words.

Mei wanted to say that she didn't suspect the class monitor; she only suspected you and Wilvi.

But considering that the mastermind might have the ability to change appearances, and that it wouldn't be good to only detect Pado, she silently agreed to the matter.

Hua didn't hesitate much; she readily agreed to have her memories checked, after all, she had nothing to hide.

Mei and Paddo went in together to investigate.

In their memories, on that dark night when Kevin had his accident, Mei and Paddo only saw Hua standing quietly in an empty space all night, as if watching a dream that did not want to be disturbed.

Then, before they could leave, a deeper color spread out, and profound memories diluted the bland gaze.

Paradise, laboratory, is generally someone's private space, and undoubtedly, not many people usually go in to spy on it.

But it was here that Hua, who came to inform Möbius, discovered something astonishing.

— Möbius is dead.

What came into view was a scene of devastation, with familiar remains floating in the black swamp. Clothing and garments were mixed in the dark green liquid, along with a glimpse of Mebius's image, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

This left her and Paddo speechless for a moment.

It felt as if a hammer had struck my head, leaving me dizzy and unable to believe what I was seeing.

The most fearless of the Thirteen Heroes has now departed from the stage.

As promised, we were returned to the homepage, where a mirror symbolizing Möbius was shattered, leaving only ten of the thirteen remaining.

...

To the surprise of most people, the third person to die was the unseen Mebius.

Judging solely from the scene in Eternal Paradise, she was practically killed upon meeting, with no room to maneuver whatsoever.

The three who died, including Qianjie who was in dire straits, were recognized as the best among heroes, at least in terms of their formidable self-preservation skills.

But it seems that the person behind the scenes is specifically targeting the most difficult person.

One by one they died.

It brought more ominous implications to others.

"Uh... is Möbius's storyline really that short?"

Kiana raised an eyebrow and looked at the other person curiously.

I always saw her talking about pursuing infinity and immortality... and then she just disappeared?

"Although it's hard to believe, Snake Sister's thing is broken. Judging from what Boss Kevin and Sister Alice said earlier, something must have happened..."

Paddy scratched her raised tail and reached out to try and get the canned food back into her arms.

That canned food was really disloyal!

"Heh heh—how foolish! I won't just die like that. Life should be vibrant and beautiful, not so ugly..."

"Heh, I didn't expect that in the game's storyline, it would be before that man."

Mebius clicked his tongue in displeasure. Although he didn't explicitly refer to anyone, Qianjie picked up the conversation perfectly. Perhaps this was the subtle tacit understanding between the two.

"Hahaha—, a puddle of water, I never thought you'd end up as a puddle..."

Qianjie laughed heartily.

"Qian Jie, there's no need to be so happy~"

"Of course we should be happy. What that woman is most confident about is her vitality, her so-called immortality... it's easily punctured!"

Ignoring their petty squabble, with so many people watching, it was ultimately difficult to take action.

The others who weren't involved in the voice acting also belatedly noticed something amiss. Was it really true, as the boss had said, that not many people had died?

Why do they look like they're about to die one after another?

Even the most difficult to kill, Mebius, died tragically in his own laboratory. The remaining heroes must be even more vulnerable, right?
