The decks of the Hyperion were completely empty, and everything that was placed there could be seen at a glance.

Therefore, the moment Wuliangta Jizi and Walter arrived on the deck of the Hyperion, they noticed the familiar object placed in the center of the deck.

"Isn't this still just a Fireworks puppet? Were we fooled by a puppet?"

Looking at the Fireworks Doll sitting quietly in the middle of the deck and looking a little lonely, Theresa couldn't help but say indignantly

"We just searched the deck, and there's nothing like it."

Walking around the doll on the ground, which was obviously exactly the same as the Fireworks doll just now, Wuliangta Jizi frowned slightly and did not touch the doll rashly.

As soon as she received the notification from Fireworks Games, Himeko Murata organized the Valkyries on the Hyperion to search the entire Hyperion.

It's not just to find the disguised Hanabi, but also to find something extra on the Hyperion, which is most likely the Honkai energy bomb that Hanabi mentioned.

Not only the interior of the Hyperion, but also the deck was not spared.

What's more, Ai-chan is on the deck of the Hyperion, monitoring the entire process.

But even in this situation, no one has ever seen this Fireworks doll here. Was it an illusion set up in advance that concealed the location of the Fireworks doll, or was Fireworks secretly placed there later?

"Since it's another puppet, we have to play the quiz game again. Hanabi is deliberately stalling for time."

Tesla landed steadily on the ground under Walter's control. He took out the detection device he carried with him and squatted down to check the fireworks doll.

Because the incident happened suddenly, there was no time to check the structure of the puppet. As long as the energy fluctuations of the puppet were recorded, Tesla was confident that he could find all the puppets on the Hyperion at once in a short period of time.

Of course, the premise is that they still have time. Now there are only a few minutes left before dark. The sun has completely set, and only a faint light is still lingering in the western sky.

"Hahaha, the bomb is about to explode. Since you found it in advance, let's start the ten-second countdown. Ten... nine... eight... seven..."

Just as Tesla squatted down and held the energy detection device in his hand close to the fireworks doll on the ground, suddenly, the fireworks doll grinned.

Amidst the loud laughter, the puppet's eyes flashed with a strange red light, and the counting numbers could be seen in the red light.

While the doll was laughing, the energy detection device in Tesla's hand also issued a shrill alarm. The energy level of the Fireworks doll in front of her was rapidly increasing.

"Tesla, get out of the way."

All this that happened suddenly made Walter's pupils shrink suddenly. She seemed to vaguely foresee Tesla's body being shattered in the explosion of the Honkai energy bomb.

The feeling of panic filled her mind at the first moment, and as the countdown continued, this feeling of panic continued to rise rapidly, eroding Walter's last bit of sanity.

In a critical moment, there is no time for them to think or hesitate.

Walter's smaller body rushed forward, knocking Tesla away headfirst.

Then, Walter opened his arms and hugged the fireworks doll that was counting down on the ground tightly in his arms.

The Star of Eden he was carrying fell off Walter's body in the violent collision and rolled to Einstein's feet.

But at this moment, Walter didn't notice any of this at all, nor did he have the opportunity or time to notice the fact that the Star of Eden was no longer around.

While holding the Fireworks Doll tightly, Walter burst out with all his strength, reversing gravity and sending him flying into the sky like a cannonball.

This power to manipulate gravity is no longer just the ability of the Star of Eden. It is deeply engraved in Walter's body, genes, and soul.

"Walter!"

Suddenly he was knocked to the ground from behind. Tesla struggled to get up from the ground. When he looked up, he saw Walter's back rising into the sky and shrinking rapidly.

Once again, once again watching Walter leave, sacrificing himself for others, it's like this again, why is it like this again.

"Walter, you idiot."

The moment he saw Walter's back, Tesla immediately realized what had happened. The Fireworks Doll itself was a bomb containing Honkai energy, and Walter once again disregarded his own safety and took the most dangerous thing into his arms.

The water element couldn't help but fill her eyes. This was not the first time Tesla felt sad for Walter, but she only hoped that this would not be the last time.

Even though he knew there was little hope, Tesla still waited for Walter to come back again and again, waiting for her to go home.

Walter, who was ejected, disappeared from everyone's sight in just a few seconds, leaving only a dot that was invisible to the naked eye.

Walter didn't know how powerful this Honkai energy bomb was. She could only go as high as possible and as far away as possible, away from the Hyperion, away from the ground, away from Tesla, and away from the people of Destiny and Anti-Entropy.

If he had to sacrifice his own life to save others, Walter hoped that it would be his own sacrifice.

Because no one can decide the life and death of others, only Walter can decide her own life and death. She has always been a hero, a hero who inherited the name of a hero, but walked her own way and did the best she could.

"Three...two...one..."

In the last three seconds of the fireworks doll's countdown, Walter used all his strength to throw the fireworks doll into the sky. All the last strength was applied to the small fireworks doll. The reverse gravity attracted the fireworks doll to continue flying into the sky.

Then, the countdown ended...

boom--

Dazzling flowers bloom in the sky. They are flowers of light, flowers of smoke, flowers of fire, and they are the "fireworks" that illuminate the entire sky.

"Huh, what is this? It's this 'fireworks'."

Looking at the huge fireworks that exploded almost in front of him, Walter breathed a sigh of relief. It was great that it was not a real bomb.

But soon, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Damn it, I’m exhausted.

It was not until this time that Walter noticed that the Star of Eden had disappeared at some point, and all his strength was used in the final blow of throwing the Fireworks Doll out.

"It's really hard to laugh at all."

Under the brilliant fireworks, Walter's figure fell from the sky, faster and faster.

Wind of Freedom: Chapter 106: "Embrace" at Night

On the Hyperion, everyone on deck witnessed the "fireworks" blooming in the night sky.

“That is…” Under the dazzling fireworks, Walter’s falling figure was affected by the colorful light and shadow, making it difficult to notice.

But Qi Gefei caught the falling figure at the first moment.

"Qiana, Yulan Dell."

He called out the names of his two 'little friends' in a hurried tone. After a day, the three white-haired lolis had already gained a very high level of tacit understanding.

After being reminded by Qigfei, Kiana and Yulan Dale also noticed Walter's figure. The two looked at each other, then overlapped their hands to form a human ladder. Qigfei made a short sprint and jumped into the sky with the help of Kiana and Yulan Dale.

Her long white hair fluttered in the night sky. Qigfei jumped up and opened her arms to welcome the return of the hero.

At this moment, the white-haired girl hugged the quiet brown-haired girl tightly in mid-air. The picture was so romantic and beautiful, just like a fairy tale ending.

‘click’

The crisp sound was so clear under the night sky of fireworks. Standing at the end of everyone, Rita took out a camera from somewhere and recorded the moment when the white-haired girl hugged the brown-haired girl like a princess.

"Rita?"

He tilted his head in confusion. Ever since he grew up, Orlandel, who had always behaved very steadily and uprightly, made such adorable movements after turning into a child.

Just like the action of tilting her head in confusion at this moment is super cute, and there is no sign of her being honest and serious in the future.

The crisp sound of the camera shutter not only attracted Yu Landel's attention, but everyone on the deck of the Hyperion was attracted by the crisp sound and looked towards Rita at the back.

"Oops, I'm so sorry for interrupting everyone's fireworks viewing. This is also Rita's first time using this, and I didn't expect it to make such a noticeable noise."

Rita shook the camera that she had picked up in her hand at some point and bowed slightly to express her apology.

"That's a bit strange. Why do you carry a camera with you?"

A look of vigilance appeared on her face. Wuliangta Jizi protected the immature girls behind her and took out her usual weapon.

Looking back now, Rita's behavior was indeed a bit strange.

She was clearly an S-class Valkyrie destined for the throne, but she only arrived at the deck last, not even as fast as a few little lolis.

There was also the brief fight with Yulandel in the conference room. Not to mention that it was Yulandel who first proposed the attack, the fireworks doll fell out because Rita's sickle cut through the conference table.

If you say this is a coincidence, it is too much of a coincidence.

"This isn't strange at all. Rita often carries a camera with her when she's at headquarters."

Facing the vigilance of Himeko Murata and the inquiring gazes of others, Rita calmly put down the camera in her hand, spread her hands and answered.

"Jizi, even though I don't like Rita very much, she really has a habit of carrying a camera around and taking pictures everywhere. I was photographed several times when I was at the headquarters."

Theresa, who was standing next to Himeko Murata, gently pulled at her clothes and whispered.

However, with the sky full of fireworks, Theresa's deliberately lowered voice could not be heard at all. Noticing the puzzled look of Wuliangta Jizi when she turned around, Theresa had to repeat her words again loudly.

This time, it wasn't just Himeko Murata who heard Theresa's voice, other people around her heard it too.

After hearing Theresa's words of proof for Rita, Yulandel couldn't help but nodded.

Although it was not clear what Rita was filming specifically, as the two people closest to her, Yulandel often saw Rita squatting in the corner with a camera and following her.

The camera that Rita was holding in her hand was different from the one Yulandel had seen before, but considering Rita's salary, it was understandable that she had a few more cameras of different brands and models.

After receiving confirmation from Theresa and Yulandel, Wuliangta Jizi couldn't help but put down her raised weapon.

"Wait, Ms. Wuliangta Jizi, I think your judgment is correct. There is something wrong with this Rita."

Just as Wuliangta Jizi put down her weapon and the people around her couldn't help but relax their vigilance, Einstein suddenly spoke, making everyone's hearts tense again.

"Oh, Dr. Einstein, I wonder what it is about Rita's behavior that makes you so suspicious."

Turning her gaze from Wuliangta Jizi to Einstein, Rita's face showed no embarrassment of being suspected. She asked calmly, elegantly and dignifiedly.

"First, you just said that it was your first time using a camera, so you didn't notice the obvious shutter sound. This contradicts Ms. Theresa's testimony. How could someone who uses a camera frequently not be aware of the shutter sound?"

With his left hand clasped in front of his chest supporting his right elbow, and his right index finger extended and raised in front of him, Einstein looked as if he had found the truth of the incident.

"Rita can explain that. Cameras come in different brands, and not every model has such a clear shutter sound like this one."

Rita met Einstein's gaze with a smile, and there was still no worry on her face about being caught.

"Secondly, when everyone was eagerly rushing to the deck to search for the Honkai bomb, why did Ms. Rita, the S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny, arrive so late?

Should they trust Anti-Entropy as their rival, or should they completely ignore the Far East branch, which has already collaborated with Anti-Entropy? As a Valkyrie on the side of Destiny, Ms. Rita's loyalty is questionable.

Third, just now in the conference room, your attack cut through the conference table, exposing the Fireworks doll hidden inside. The timing was too coincidental.

I have reason to suspect that Ms. Yulandel's suggestion to conduct a test was also induced by you, and her main purpose was to help us find the fireworks doll.

Fourthly, after a thorough review, we've determined that there's no possibility of Fireworks disguised within the Anti-Entropy and Far East branches. So, is Ms. Rita, whom we initially eliminated from our suspect list based on Fu Hua's intelligence, still a suspect?

Fifth, Ms. Rita suddenly appeared after Hanabi left. Now think about it, as a Valkyrie on the side of destiny, she would have no scruples about boarding the Far East Branch's floating battleship alone with the weakened Youlan Dell. Such a lack of vigilance is inherently suspicious.

Ignoring Rita's explanation, Einstein stretched out the second finger, the third finger, and so on until all the fingers on his right hand were stretched out and held in front of him, describing the doubts about Rita one by one.

Although there is no conclusive evidence yet, so many doubts coming together have suddenly raised Rita's suspicion to the highest level.

Free Wind: Chapter 107: Game Over

clap clap-

As Einstein finished speaking, Rita applauded her with a smile on her face.

"As expected of Dr. Einstein, I thought I was disguising myself well, but I didn't expect there would be so many flaws. Indeed, no matter how good the disguise is, there will always be flaws in the behavior and details. And the more you act, the more flaws you will reveal."

Under the illumination of the fireworks that occasionally bloomed in the sky, Rita's face flickered, making her smiling face look a bit weird.

"What's the point of saying this now? We've already lost this game. If you had really installed a Honkai bomb, someone would have died by now."

With a soft sigh, Einstein couldn't help but glance at Valta who was carried back to the deck of the Hyperion by Zigfei.

Einstein was extremely grateful that this game was just a prank by Huo Huo, not a brutal killing.

If the game fails, it fails, as long as no one is hurt.

But if this is not just a simple game, she will lose the most important person to her again.

I have watched with my own eyes as Varta slowly grew up from a little kid who ran away from home to the man who now shoulders the heavy responsibility of saving humanity.

Einstein was filled with emotion and placed heavy emotions on Varta.

This emotion is the satisfaction that elders feel when they see their younger generations growing up, the attachment to seeing the shadow of Joyce in Varta, and the emotion that comes from being a human being when seeing someone stand up.

"Haha, games are never about the goal, but the process. How about it, are you having fun? Isn't this game super exciting and fun?"

Noticing the slight smile of relief on Einstein's lips when he looked at Varta, Rita's voice also took on a hint of high joy.
