Honkai Impact 3rd, Paradise Typewriter isn't for making this kind of game.

"Excuse me, please make way, thank you... thank you..."

Alicia jogged through the crowd of onlookers, followed by a gray-haired man with half-closed eyes carrying a medical kit.

The other person must be Dr. Su. However, Xia Yuan noticed something: when Dr. Su politely passed by him, his body proportions and features were quite similar to his own.

Dr. Su came to Qianjie's side.

Despite Qian Jie's extreme reluctance, the accompanying doctor, Dr. Su, examined the other person's body.

Ultimately, Dr. Su concluded that Qianjie was very healthy.

If it weren't for the seemingly empty wound on the other person's chest... Xia Yuan would almost have believed this Dr. Su's nonsense. Could this be a quack doctor?

"My dear detective, don't underestimate my Dr. Su! Although Su doesn't quite look like a qualified doctor—he seems to be slacking off all day and doesn't even have a bald spot on his head—Su is a genuine medical doctor!"

Alicia explained to Xia Yuan from the side.

"Okay... Dr. Su, what have you been doing for the past half hour?"

"I am resting and meditating in my room."

Chapter 247 I'm Going to Scoop Through the Trash Cans!

"Why didn't you come out to check the situation like the other passengers, despite the loud noise?"

"Everything has its consequences. Since it has already happened... even if I go out, it won't change anything."

Ellie suddenly whispered from the side:

"Detective, let me tell you something secretly. Dr. Su actually holds a PhD in Philosophy. Even I, as the train conductor, sometimes can't understand what she's saying."

[Train Conductor] Alicia covered her forehead.

The girl on the other end, who seemed cute, also seemed a little helpless.

"No...actually, I already heard it."

Su was busy packing up the medical toolbox he had brought with him.

"Dr. Su, could you please explain what the unopened bottle of medicine in the trash can in the room is for?"

A qualified and excellent detective can always skillfully rummage through all kinds of trash cans, whether it's hazardous waste, harmless waste, or wet waste in the waste sorting system...

Come on~ Come on~

Come and flip through it!

No one can resist the temptation of the trash can.

"That was a specially formulated drug for Qianjie to treat his anxiety and irritability, and it also had a certain sleep-inducing effect."

Dr. Su replied calmly.

Xia Yuan had already silently rolled up his sleeves, though he didn't intend to fight with this Dr. Su.

Instead, they were collecting evidence they had just retrieved from the trash can, which they would then give to Prometheus for analysis and testing of the drug's components once the investigation was complete.

Afterwards, Xia Yuan questioned the brown-haired girl who had gradually calmed down and was wrapped in a blanket.

In her testimony, she went to Qianjie's room to look for something that had been lost.

But when Xia Yuan pressed for details about what it was, the girl in front of him started to stammer and evade the question.

Sue and Padofelis's answers made Xia Yuan realize something...

Among the people who had contact with Qian Jie, there were all some suspicions and motives involved, but the testimonies of the next two people made Xia Yuan list himself as the prime suspect.

The next two arrivals...

It was Professor Einstein and Dr. Tesla, her little helper who pushed her wheelchair.

The surveillance footage in their possession clearly recorded everything that happened in the train corridor in the early hours of that day, and captured the entire process of Xia Yuan carrying a katana and rushing straight towards Qian Jie's room.

[The monitoring equipment for the steam train passageway was kindly provided by Reverse Entropy Heavy Industry.]

[The Sleeping Detective]

Although Kiana tried her best to prove Xia Yuan's innocence during this time, the tongue-tied girl was clearly no match for Professor Ein and her little follower.

Xia Yuan quickly stopped Kiana.

As the prime suspect in this case, all signs and clues point to him.

[Under the instigation and leadership of Professor Ai Yin of Anti-Entropy Heavy Industry, the passengers on the second train, who had been awakened, gradually began to distrust the people of Destiny's faction.]

[In order to cope with this open and covert struggle with anti-entropy]

In order to avoid triggering a more intense conflict, or for the dispute between them to escalate again.

Xia Yuan locked himself in a small, private room on the train, and the responsibility and mission of guarding the room... was surprisingly entrusted to Raiden Mei.

[Do you think Professor Ain is trying to test Raiden Mei's determination to save her father through this method?]

On the surface, they seem to be destined for greatness; in private, they defy entropy; and behind the scenes, they are the world's serpent...

"Mei, Mei, how many identities do you truly have? Or is that one identity the real you?"

As Xia Yuan pondered, time ticked by.

It was now noon of the second day.

[The World Serpent Dr. Jackal also collapsed in the room, but remarkably, he bore the same knife wounds as Qian Jie.]

"Grey Serpent, temporarily halt the assassination attempt on the detective."

“One of our cadres died under mysterious circumstances on this train. I need his help to investigate and find out the truth. I also want to see who dares to have a conflict with our members at this critical juncture.”

Due to this unexpected situation........

With Prometheus's help, Xia Yuan was released from the small room where he was imprisoned.

As soon as I came out... Kiana greeted me with a hug.

flutter--

After comforting the tearful girl, Xia Yuan took the initiative to launch an investigation.

Although the two from Anti-Entropy Heavy Industries tried to stop them, under the threat of Prometheus's force, Ain and her little follower, the doctor, were forced to compromise.

After investigation, Xia Yuan discovered that on the jackal doctor lying in the room, in addition to the obvious knife wound, there was another wound that looked like it had been torn apart by a wild animal, but this wound seemed to have been deliberately covered up.

If things go as expected...

The cause of this wound is what those two people at Anti-Entropy Heavy Industries are desperately trying to cover up.

Just then, Xia Yuan suddenly recalled the sketchbook in the hands of the young painter he had met on the train. The sketch depicted a strange creature that looked and resembled a small... large lobster.

Xia Yuan already had a certain conjecture, and now was the time to verify that conjecture.

On his way to investigate, Xia Yuan unexpectedly discovered that the black market merchant, Gray Serpent, was hanging in the middle of the room like a puppet, seemingly lifeless.

But besides that, the room was also piled high with almost too much of the remains of the [Grey Serpent].

"Hey, hey, hey, you super kind detective over there, come look over here, come help me... These guys with big, red eyes are like a system malfunction, they're frantically trying to squeeze into my room."

Before Miss Domination could finish speaking, another model of [Grey Snake] tried to squeeze into the room through the crack in the door outside the corridor.

And so... Xia Yuan walked over.

With their joint efforts and cooperation, a large number of gray snakes were piled up in a relatively spacious area of ​​this side room.

Miss Dominator patted the dust off her hands and said with a smile:

"See? I knew you were the perfect team, Detective! Why bother with that flat-chested woman? Why not join my Domination Association and create a flawless new world?"

The Herrscher of Domination became more and more excited as she spoke, and by the end she was even gesturing wildly and twisting her arms and legs.

Chapter 248 Tonatiu - The Shadow of the Sun

However, Xia Yuan's gaze was focused on the single eye of the black market merchant [Grey Snake].

Their gazes were all pointing in the same direction.

Xia Yuan followed their directions and searched through the pile of miscellaneous items.

It wasn't until a bottle that was swaying back and forth caught Xia Yuan's attention that he saw a cat named "Stan" that resembled the one that the private detective Broni was tracking.

However, a hint of panic and tension was evident in its expression.

Let's go back ten minutes.

[A group communication from a mysterious underground organization of snakes in the world]

purpose:

Let all humankind join the glorious process of evolution.

【The Great Cat King】: BOSS, I've found the Honkai Core containing the most primordial Honkai energy, meow.

【The Great Cat King】: Photo.

The image shows a ruby ​​on a kitten's paw.

[Snake]: Well done, we finally got our hands on it. Rumor has it that the artist Eden had such a special gem in his possession, and now it seems to be true... In this way, we can use its power and the device I developed to push all of humanity to a whole new level.

【The Great Cat King】: Boss is wise, long live the boss, the boss is the best... But boss, could you send someone to pick me up, meow? I think I'm stuck in a bottle and can't get out, meow.

【The Great Cat King】: Coordinates.

[Snake]: ......

A silence followed, then a pause.

[Snake]: Wait in the bottle, I'll have the gray snake come to meet you.

[The Great Cat King]: Thank you, boss!

However, to Stan's surprise... the person he waited for was not the Gray Serpent sent by the Lord, but the detective who had been relentlessly pursuing their organization.

"How dare you, human! What are you looking at? Let me out right now, or you'll be in big trouble! Do you know who you're dealing with?"

Stan was gesturing wildly inside the bottle... towards Xia Yuan.

Clearly, Xia Yuan couldn't understand a cat's language.

He believes that the rather overweight cat somehow managed to get into the bottle, but was unable to escape because of its size.

Of course, what Xia Yuan cared about most was that Stan seemed to have a ruby ​​shining brightly hidden in its little paw, and this ruby ​​was one of Miss Eden's collections.

Seeing the other cat's little paws clenched tightly, Xia Yuan couldn't help but find it a little funny. It seemed that there was more than one suspect in the theft case, and now there was also a wanted fat cat.

It looks like there will be extra rewards and income!

No matter how much Stan resisted, Xia Yuan firmly held the dazzling ruby ​​in his hand.

However, Xia Yuan noticed that there was some kind of sediment inside the ruby.

Although he didn't know what the sediment inside was, Xia Yuan's intuition told him that it was best to let the sediment stay there quietly.

After carefully preserving the ruby, Xia Yuan planned to return to Prometheus to analyze the sediment. What could possibly make this black market merchant fight so fiercely for it?

This scene was witnessed by the pile of Grey Snakes in the room, who transmitted the information to Mebius through the communication devices in their eyes.

"My lord, the rescue has failed. The detective has stolen the gem."

“That damned detective ruined my plans. I’ll take that gem back from him. Now that things have come to this, I don’t need to worry about anything anymore. Let Stan revert to his original form.”

Mebius issued her instructions from the other end of the communication.

She now needs to prepare her diffusion device in advance, so that after obtaining the gem, she can spread and release that Honkai matter throughout the world. At that time... everyone can experience this Honkai cleansing.

Stan was overjoyed to receive the order from the Lord. He couldn't wait to show off his skills and tear the detective to shreds to prove his authority.

As the bottle shattered, Stan's size rapidly expanded, and it opened its fangs, revealing a gaping maw as it stared at the two people in the room.

duang——

But before Stan could show its skills, it was blasted into the wall by another lobster creature that suddenly broke down the door.

Tonatius - The Shadow of the Sun

And so... Stan, who hadn't yet shown his true abilities, became deeply embedded in the walls of the carriage, unable to extricate himself.

And at this moment...

A very familiar voice reached Xia Yuan's ears from outside the carriage.
