Behind-the-scenes video of the beginning of Honkai.

Fu Hua, as the temporary leader, also offered her opinion, and everyone agreed and chose to go back to their rooms to rest.

And so the group spent three days there, but still gained nothing.

Kiana was extremely anxious, after all, Dr. David had said that as long as one spacetime was not corrected, her rescue would fail. But now she had no good solutions and could only watch helplessly as time slowly slipped away.

"Damn it! It's the same place, and I can't find a way out no matter how hard I look! What should I do?!"

"Don't worry, we've been missing for three days now, the Lord will definitely come to save us!"

After all, Kevin is the strongest warrior of mankind. She and Mei have been missing for three days. Raven believes that the Lord will definitely come to rescue them.

"Hahaha! Kevin? Do you really think Kevin will come to save you? I'm telling you, if you're so eager to get out, all you need to do is kill one intelligent being. Isn't that simple?"

At this moment, the Black and White Houmu who had captured everyone here suddenly appeared.

"Compared to those fairies, you do have some backbone! But then again, this makes me a little bored!"

"No matter what I say, we won't kill each other. Just give up, you bastard!"

Kiana showed no fear in the face of the Black and White Houmu. Although she didn't know why her Herrscher powers were unusable in this timeline, it didn't mean Kiana was afraid.

"I understand now. We have the right timing, location, people, and the mysterious element. I was wondering why there wasn't a murder? Why?" Black and White Houmu seemed to be answering his own question, "It turns out there was one element missing!"

What elements are you referring to?

"Simply put, it's all about 'motivation,' so I've prepared something for you all in the 'audiovisual classroom.' I hope you enjoy it, hehehehe!"

"By the way, what do you mean by saying that the Lord won't come to save us?"

Raven stopped the black and white Houmu who were about to leave and asked.

"Yes! You mean Kevin? He's already paid off a bunch of his subordinates' salaries, so he's sold you two to me. In other words, you two are now my assets, so you'd better stay here obediently!"

"what!"

Raven never imagined that Kevin would betray the two World Serpent executives for such a reason.

Alicia (Memory): "Kevin, this is wrong. How can you sell two beautiful young girls? If you're going to sell them, you should sell them to the Paradise of the Past. We're short of people here!"

Kevin: "..." (He was stunned by his parallel-world counterpart in the video)

Kevin (Memory): "..." (He was stunned by the parallel world version of himself in the video)

"Damn it, I've actually been sold out like this. Looks like I need to buy a villa island soon and prepare to run away. This world is no place for snakes!"

When Raven saw Kevin in the video actually buying her to pay off his debts, she wondered if she, a dignified Raven, was worth that little bit of money. Although it was just a parallel world, just in case, she decided to run away as soon as possible, since she had originally planned to save more money.

Kiana: "Mei, you shouldn't go to World Serpent anymore. Their leader actually sold you out. You can't stay in this organization."

Mei: "Don't worry, Kiana! Although I don't know why my parallel world self went to World Serpent, I'm not going. After all, I don't want to be sold off!"

Seeing her own miserable state, Mei no longer had any good feelings towards World Serpent.

Chapter 185 The Fake Detective Fu Hua, the Real Detective Xiao Shi

Chapter 186 The Herrscher of Consciousness Modified Your Consciousness

Xiao Shi: "Hahaha! See that old antique? I'm definitely the coolest detective. Look at you, saying something like 'Let's just guess, and we'll fill in the logic later.' The reputation of the Crimson Phoenix Immortal, who is detached from worldly affairs, is crying in your hands. Now please call me James Fu Hua Sherlock Holmes!"

Fu Hua: "I..."

Kiana: "I have to say, I share the same opinion as my parallel universe self. The class president looks really cool like this!"

Rosalia: "Damn it! Why didn't I appear on screen, but Lilia appeared with Bronya and Seele? Why?!"

Lilia: "That must be because Lilia is too stupid and not suited for games that test intelligence."

Rosalia: "Lilia, how dare you call me stupid? I bet the reason you participated in this game is because the murderer is probably you, Lilia."

Lilia: "How could that be? I could never be the murderer!"

An: "Damn it, why didn't I make an appearance again, while Rosalia and Lilia did!"

"Thank you for your compliment, Kiana."

However, the Herrscher of Knowledge only appeared briefly before returning to Fu Hua's body once again.

"The Herrscher of Knowledge just passed on some fragmented information to me. It's a pity that this information is too scarce, so I still don't know who the murderer is, but I have also obtained new clues. Perhaps just now, Miss Rita was not trying to hide the truth, but simply couldn't tell it."

Fu Hua also found a new clue through the message left by the Herrscher of Knowledge: the ID card of the training room administrator. This was a pass given by the black and white Houmu to Rita so that she could clean. Only Rita had it.

"Miss Rita, please reach into your pocket."

"Huh? This is... the ID card for the training room administrator! Right... that's right, I was supposed to clean the training room here that day, but I don't remember going there."

Rita saw the ID card and it reminded her of some things, but it was still vague, and she couldn't recall everything that happened that day.

"Of course I've been there. But... you think you should ignore that experience."

"You mean, my consciousness has been altered? Ha, Fu Hua... no, Herrscher of Knowledge, your statement is quite amusing!"

"That's not the case. I am the real Fu Hua now. But... you're right. The Herrscher of Knowledge, she is an accomplice!"

Fu Hua's remarks led to her being suspected by everyone present because of her status as the Herrscher of Knowledge. Upon seeing this, Fu Hua inwardly exclaimed, "This is bad!"

The misunderstanding must be cleared up, but the wretched Xiao Shi's memories are fragmented, which prevents Fu Hua from directly deducing the real culprit.

Now we've started the second round of discussions!

First, let's look at the modus operandi.

"But class monitor! Weren't you and I captured and lectured by this Houmu that day?"

"Indeed. Because you broke the oven when you were making the tortilla pizza, and you failed to supervise properly as the class monitor..."

"Pfft, as the headmaster, I have to say something here: I'll come after you if you damage public property."

The evil voice of the Black and White Houmu rang out, but everyone chose to ignore it.

"Ah... So it was Kiana who did it. No wonder I didn't notice."

"If that's the case... how did the Lawgiver of Knowledge come into being?"

At this point, Seele also provided a crucial clue: how could the Herrscher of Knowledge commit murder without a physical body?

"Wow! Could it be that Xiao Shi has altered the consciousness of both me and that wretched Houmu?!"

"Hey! Don't try to challenge my authority! This headmistress doesn't make wrong judgments or lie! Fu Hua and Kiana were both with me then~"

"Squad leader! Don't fall for her tricks! The Herrscher of Knowledge can't possibly appear without your body!"

"That's not the case!" At this moment, the sound of a bullet shattering glass rang out again, and Fu Hua directly refuted Lilia's answer. "It's still possible. Think carefully, where did Xiao Shi appear?"

"Training room?"

“That’s right! The training room is a place open to Valkyries for training. It’s a space that can simulate the environment and characters! Xiao Shi can obtain a temporary body there.”

"Seele also tried providing another me with a disposable body, and the feeling of having lunch with myself was quite unique."

Seele also proved that this approach is feasible.

"So it's plausible that Rita was influenced by Xiaoshi, as long as she was in the training room. So, Miss Rita, why did you leave the kitchen halfway through?"

"Because I ran into trouble preparing afternoon tea, and then discovered that the oven was broken, I planned to go to the study room to let them know, but..."

"However, going to the study room inevitably involves passing through the training room. Although Xiao Shi cannot leave there, she still succeeded."

"So here's the question. Huo Dou died in the memory battlefield, not the training room, so how did Xiao Shi, who couldn't leave, manage to do that?"

Lilia also pointed out a major flaw in this reasoning: Huodou died in a different location.

"That's right, unless the place where Huodou was killed was the training room and not... I understand, the place where he was killed was not the Memory Battlefield!"

"That's right. The primary crime scene was actually the training room; we've all fallen into the killer's trap!"

Fu Hua then remembered the large salted fish inserted into the buttocks of Huo Dou's corpse.

"As soon as I saw that big salted fish, I could confidently say that Xiao Shi really made a move."

"But Seele doesn't understand how the already dead Huodou came to the battlefield of memories?"

"I'm afraid they used my training room administrator ID card."

"Yes, Miss Rita, whose consciousness was altered, used her administrator privileges to transfer data, and inexplicably lost half an hour of her memory, which is why she couldn't finish the afternoon tea."

After a series of discussions, they were very close to the truth, but because they were still missing a crucial clue, they still couldn't reach a conclusion.

After some thought, the third and final discussion began.

"Wait a minute! The class monitor keeps saying that Shi Lu is an accomplice, so where is the mastermind this time? And where did Shi Lu go?"

"Hmph! Disappearing without a trace and then coming to help the class monitor? That's not like her at all."

"Because she was betrayed by her own teammate and disappeared, if she wanted revenge, she could only contact me reluctantly."

Fu Hua also explained the reason for Xiao Shi's disappearance.

"Although Rita cannot prove her innocence, based on the murder weapon, the salted fish sword, and the clues provided by Xiaoshi, Bronya believes that voting for Rita as the real culprit means we will all be in danger."

"But everyone except Rita has an alibi!"

"Indeed, Bronya, Seele, and Lilia were having afternoon tea at that time, and even that idiot Kiana came over after smelling the aroma."

"I even went to the study room later and tried a bite of the freshly baked, hot one—it was so delicious!"

"This is it! This piping hot apple pie is absolutely impossible!"

Just then, the sound of a bullet breaking through glass was heard again, and Fu Hua directly pointed out the clue.

"Freshly baked and piping hot! Hmm, I see."

"But class monitor, this is dessert that Lilia prepared in the kitchen."

At this point, Seele spoke up to explain on Lilia's behalf.
