Sunday: "Are you the only survivor in the clan?"

Gold dust: "...Maybe."

Sunday: "So, do you hate and want to destroy this world with your own hands?"

This time, the gold dust remained silent for a long time.

Just as Paimon, Funina, and the others nearby were starting to feel the atmosphere, Sand Gold gave his answer.

“I don’t know.” Sand Gold shook his head.

[D'Artagnan: Is this really a question about robins?]

[Doctor: Obviously not. As Paimon previously complained, Sunday's investigation was into the accounts of placer gold deposits.]

[Ningguang: Before agreeing to let Sand Gold help her investigate the robin's murder, Sunday wanted to use this method to determine whether Sand Gold was trustworthy.]

[Erhesen: That's why I asked such detailed questions on Sunday.]

[Kavi: I can understand Sunday's actions. After all, Sandstone is a company employee, and Pinocchio used to be company territory. Sunday probably suspects Sandstone came with some unfriendly motive.]

[Kavi: However, some of Mr. Sunday's questions... well, they were rather direct.]

[Leosley: It's unbelievable that this seemingly perpetually smiling gold duster is a survivor of his tribe, and quite possibly the only one.]

[Kaiya: That's precisely why I'm worried that on Sunday, Sand Gold might do something unusual to achieve its goal of destroying the world.]

[Doctor: Lying is forbidden during baptism; otherwise, there will be consequences. Since Sand Gold's answer was "I don't know," he must harbor some world-destroying thoughts.]

[Leosley: Having experienced the annihilation of one's race, it's normal to have thoughts of destroying the world. However, having such thoughts doesn't mean one will actually do it.]

[Linnie: Mr. Sand Gold's background is completely different from what we initially imagined. I really don't know what he went through to get to where he is now a manager in the strategic investment department.]

………………

"...One last question, Mr. Sand Gold."

"Can you swear that the 'aventurine' is lying safely in this box right now?"

On Sunday, he raised his hand and tapped the table next to the box.

Sand Gold smiled slightly and said, "Of course!"

Upon hearing this, Sunday shook his head regretfully and sighed:

"You lied after all, Mr. Sand Gold."

"What? Gold dust lied?" Paimon exclaimed. "Could it be that Gold dust actually intends to destroy the world?"

“Hey, is that how you perceive me, Ms. Paimon?”

Sand Gold looked over helplessly and said.

"After all, you're a company employee."

Paimon hid behind Luminous, only showing his head.

"If employees from other companies heard you say that, they would be very angry."

"The Interstellar Peace Corporation has always been committed to maintaining the stability of the universe, and the company's highest honorary director is the guardian star god Amber King."

"From any perspective, the company doesn't seem like a dangerous organization, does it?"

Sha Jin said.

"That's true, but your company's people are able to launch imaginary number collapse pulses without any scruples."

Even if it hurts innocent people on many planets.

Paimon pouted and said.

"Imaginary number collapse pulse? This must be something to do with Chadwick again."

"I'm curious, what exactly happened to you?"

Sand Gold asked curiously.

"Instead of that, you should worry about your own affairs, Mr. Sand Gold."

On Sunday, he opened the box, revealing a stone inside that shimmered with a yellow glow.

"Huh? You actually opened this box? Only high-ranking company executives can open them... Wait a minute!"

As if suddenly remembering something, Sand Gold abruptly turned to look at Dr. Truth not far away, and angrily asked:

"Ladio, you bastard, have you betrayed me?"

Dr. Truth crossed his arms, silently closed his eyes, and did not answer.

"What happened? Why did Professor Latio betray the gold?"

"Furina asked with a puzzled look on her face."

Ying, Paimon, Navia, and even the servants all turned to look in the direction of Doctor Truth.

They didn't know much about Dr. Truth.

But they knew that Luo Feng even allowed Doctor Truth to board the Star Train to conduct research on the self-sealed Illusion.

And previously, when I encountered Chadwick in my Pinocchio dream.

Luo Feng also chose to take Dr. Truth with him to explore Chadwick's past.

According to Ying, Paimon, and others, Luo Feng trusted Dr. Truth, so they had always trusted Dr. Truth as well.

Therefore, it was hard for Paimon and the others to believe that Sandgold would suddenly tell them that Doctor Truth was someone who could betray his companions.

"Professor Ladio simply chose not to associate with evil; to say he betrayed the gold is really going too far."

Dr. Truth remained silent, but on Sunday he was quite willing to answer Paimon, Ying, and the others' questions.

"Colluding with the corrupt? So, did placer gold really do anything wrong?"

"And what exactly did you mean when you said he lied, Mr. Sunday?"

Funina looked up and asked in confusion.

On Sunday, he pushed the box containing the shimmering yellow foundation stone toward where Funina and the others were, explaining:

“I had previously asked Mr. Sand Gold if the box contained his foundation stone, and he gave an affirmative answer.”

"However, this stone does not belong to him. This pure yellow gem, although also a foundation stone, shines with a light like that of the Amber King's sacred body."

"But it is the foundation that belongs to others."

"Others?" Paimon blinked. "Besides gold dust, who else in Pinocchio could possess a foundation stone?"

“One of the Stoneheart Ten, Ms. Toppa, the ‘Topaz,’” Sunday explained.

"Yes, and her too! Toppa is also a cornerstone member!"

Paimon suddenly realized, but this was followed by even more questions.

"But why is the cornerstone of Toppa inside the box?"

Paimon asked.

"It's clear that the ten members of Stoneheart are very united."

“Mr. Sand Gold and Ms. Topa have probably already discussed it.”

On Sunday, looking at the gold dust, he said:

“Am I right, Mr. Gold Sand?”

"I advise you not to waste our time."

“I already know that the foundation stone needs to be carved out by the ten people of Stoneheart with their own will, so that it can shine with a unique brilliance.”

"So don't say that this yellow base stone is your base stone. Its luster does not match your code name 'sand gold'."

“Heh.” Sand Gold chuckled lightly and sighed, “Ladio actually told you all these things. It seems you’ve given him quite a reward.”

Sunday shook his head and said with a light laugh.

“As I’ve already said, Professor Ladio simply doesn’t intend to associate with evil.”

[Datalia: Terrifying. No wonder he was so wary of the gold dust on Sunday; it turns out he already had information about it from Doctor Truth.]

[Kavi: It seems Dr. Truth really did betray Sand Gold. Although I knew it was true, I'm still quite surprised.]

[Falushan: Indeed, it's astonishing that someone like Dr. Truth, who enjoys Lord Luo Feng's trust and is able to collaborate with Mr. Screw Gum on projects, would choose to betray the gold dust.]

[Disia: Wait, could it be that the company really came to Pinocchio with some extremely dangerous purpose, and that Dr. Truth, having seen Chadwick's memories, has decided to stop helping Sand Gold after realizing the company's true nature?]

[Linnie: Thinking about it that way, it does make some sense.]

[Navilette: Is that really the case?]

[Leosley: It seems our Supreme Judge has a different opinion.]

[Navilette: No, I just don't want to draw any conclusions until the evidence is conclusive.]

Charlotte: As expected of Lady Villette, so meticulous.

[Doctor: Regardless of the specific reasons why Dr. Truth betrayed Sandstone, Sandstone is now facing judgment as the embodiment of Harmony for lying before the Holy Baptism of Harmony. It was worthwhile for me to set aside my experiments and spend so much time in the live stream.]

[Rheindorf: While the image of the clown descending to deliver judgment is certainly intriguing, given that he expressed his expectation for Sandstone's assistance in the investigation on Sunday, he will likely first have Sandstone conduct an investigation into the robin's death for some time.]
