Chapter 455 The Fool Always Rings the Bell for Two Days
Xing: Tell me, do you know anything about the bomb?
Sambo: Bomb? What bomb? I, old Sambo, don't sell dangerous things.
March 7th: Now that the money is in place, are you really not going to sell?
Sambo: Of course, I, old Sambo, am a man of integrity and keep my word.
March 7th: What about the 1001 credits?
Sambo: Sell, sell, sell! Miss, I'll sell anything you say!! I have cluster bombs, high-explosive bombs, poison gas bombs, neutron bombs, plasma bombs, and even rotten eggs, duck eggs, chicken eggs, and dinosaur eggs!!
Star: True colors.
Danheng: Wait, haven't we gone off-topic?
Walter: You'll get used to it.
Jingyuan: You'll get used to it.
Himeko: You'll get used to it.
Xing: So, did you know about the bomb when you arrived?
Sambo: Everyone, I'm innocent! I really didn't know!
Xing: Okay, I knew it was no use coming to you.
[Sangbo has been kicked out of the group chat by Xing.]
March 7th: You really kicked it cleanly.
Star: ╮(╯-╰)╭
Himeko: Anyway, let's find the bomb first.
Himeko: Work harder, keep up with the statistics in the group, and don't miss a single bomb.
Walter: Received.
...............
Xing turned off her phone, feeling somewhat exhausted.
Sambo is as unreliable as ever.
"What's wrong, Xing?" Firefly asked with concern.
"It's nothing, I'll go find the bomb first."
Xing cheered himself up and rallied.
"There seems to be a doll over there."
Suddenly, Firefly noticed a firework doll in the corner of the sofa.
This firework doll wears black-rimmed glasses, a red bow around its neck, and a blue suit jacket.
"Detective" Doll: "Ah, we meet again, Miss Star. I'm Pinocchio's 'Detective'."
"Steamed Egg? Is your line 'The scheming frog keeps touching your belly'?" Xing asked abruptly.
"Detective" Doll: "No, I meant the washing machine."
"Detective" Doll: "Anyway, what trouble are you in? I'd be happy to help. But unfortunately, I have two unsolved cases on my hands... Your problem might have to wait."
"All I need is the bomb you have." Xing was getting desperate.
If she was sure it wouldn't explode, she really wanted to knock this thing out of Pinocchio with a stick.
"Detective" Doll: "A bomb? Damn it... I forgot about that: Dr. Fire is an expert in explosives chemistry!"
"Detective" Doll: "I need your help, Miss Star. You've had quite a bit of dealing with Dr. Fire, and considering the 'bomb' case we just discussed, you're sure to find evidence proving Dr. Fire is the murderer."
"Detective Doll": "The first case is the 'Sulda Factory Arson Case.' We found a large sledgehammer, a doll, and about half a liter of unidentified liquid at the scene. The test results are just finished; it turned out to be a red herring."
"Detective Doll": "The second case is the 'Blues Auction House Robbery.' A group of masked thugs broke into the auction house and stole fragments of the Starry Sky Train, leaving behind a large hammer, a doll, and a half-dead red herring."
"Detective" Doll: "That's the whole case. In my opinion, the key to uncovering Dr. Fire lies in some commonality between the two cases."
"Detective" Doll: "I trust your judgment—which set of evidence do you think is the decisive one?"
"What is all this nonsense?" Xing frowned, the two cases seemed completely unrelated.
"A sledgehammer...?"
"baby...?"
"Red herring...?"
"bomb...?"
Xing tried to guess every clue he could think of.
"Detective" Doll: "None of them are right, Miss Xing. If you keep guessing wrong, I'll explode."
How could you, a plush doll, say such vicious things?
As Xing spoke, he took out a large stick.
She decided to strike first.
"Wait a minute." Firefly stopped Star at this moment.
She pointed at the fireworks doll and shouted, "I know! The decisive evidence is you, the person who went to both scenes!"
"Detective" Doll: "Beep beep beep—Correct answer! As expected of the little white-haired one, you're quite clever!"
"Detective" Doll: "Since you've all worked so hard, I'll tell you one thing: the bomb isn't here. There's only a prank I meticulously planned—time's running out, hurry and find the real bomb!"
The sound of fireworks disappeared, leaving only the hissing of white noise inside the doll's body.
There was no bomb inside this doll; it was just modified into a loudspeaker by Hanabi.
"Another smoke bomb..." Xing was completely speechless.

Toppa: The company's special investigation team has finished their work.
Toppa: 329 dolls were found, no bombs were found.
Toppa: This is a synchronized update.
Potio: Even you guys are helpless?
Potio: Good heavens, this is going to be dangerous!
Gold dust: Oh well, I didn't buy my way onto the leaderboard this time.
Toppa: I'll buy you *****
Gold dust: This is a censored term, thank you.
Toppa: I'll buy you, you little cutie!!
March 7th: Don't give up! We're so close to 999!
March 7th: The train crew will also be wrapping up work soon!
Toppa: Please, everyone, I'm going to take over the evacuation team now.
Toppa: Best of luck to everyone!

"I always have a feeling," Xing said earnestly, putting down her phone.
"How does it feel?" Firefly asked.
"I always feel like I've been cheated out."
"Um... to be honest, I feel the same way..." Liu Ying said shyly.
"Once I find that firework, I'm going to teach her a lesson about rules!"
Filled with rage, Xing took action once again.
This time, the two of them discovered a director doll in a corner where no one was paying attention.
"Director" Doll: "Hello, dear actors. You can call me 'Director' Doll, it's the name I usually use in the end credits."
"Director" Doll: "You might not know this, but I was actually the one who directed this whole Pinocchio farce. As the leading lady of this show, what are your thoughts now? Feel free to speak your mind..."
"Director" Doll: "Okay, actually, according to the needs of the plot, you can only say one sentence right now, so please try to restrain your urge to speak freely."
"You've added way too many plot transitions!" Xing complained helplessly.
"Director" Doll: "Sigh, it's my fault, I fell for the Masked Fool's trick! This script was written by a screenwriter named 'Hanabi-sama.' She said she graduated from the Film Directing Department of First Hanabi University, and we hit it off immediately..."
"Director" Doll: "Who knew that First Fireworks University didn't even have a film directing department—in fact, First Fireworks University doesn't even exist! Sigh, Fireworks."
"So, you've run into a diploma mill?"
"Director" Doll: "No, I encountered a slut."
star:.........
"Director" Doll: "Now that you've asked your question and I've answered it... according to the needs of the plot, I will tell you the fact that there is no bomb here at all, so that you will regret wasting half a day listening to my nonsense, and then we will go our separate ways."
"Director" Doll: "But don't be sad! I've prepared a gift for you—a dream bubble—that records the life-or-death race between me and a beautiful memory! If you haven't seen it yet, hurry and find Dr. Edward."
【】
March 7th: Good news!
March 7th: We've found the remaining 371 dolls!
March 7th: But...
Danheng: They're just dolls.
Potio: What's going on? Did that little girl play a trick on us?
Black Swan: That makes a total of 994.
Xing: I found 5 here.
March 7th: That means there's only one left.
The topic "Which way should we watch the fireworks?" has been added to the group chat.
Which side should I watch the fireworks from? Long time no see, everyone!
From which side should you watch the fireworks?
Which way should we watch the fireworks? Lady Fireworks is very satisfied to see everyone busy helping her!
Which side should we watch the fireworks from? So, Lady Fireworks asked me to pass on a message to everyone~
Xing: Why are you here again?
From which side should you watch the fireworks? Well, the main attraction is the uninvited guest!
[The question about which direction to watch the fireworks from has been raised in the group chat by Xing]
March 7: This, they kicked it already?
Xing: You've come uninvited, please leave.
[The question about which direction to watch the fireworks from has been added to the group chat.]
Which way should I watch the fireworks? Don't be in such a hurry, Little Gray, wait until I finish speaking before you kick!
Star: Staring...
Which way to watch the fireworks: Okay! Okay, enough joking. Fireworks Master says this information is very important, so listen carefully.
Which way to watch the fireworks: Actually, there are 1000 dolls on the "Kiyoshi" - to reward everyone for their hard work, Lady Fireworks has decided to be lenient and send you the coordinates of the last doll that hides the bomb!
Which way to watch the fireworks: Although you have much more than ten minutes, you still need to hurry! If you miss it, that would be a big problem!
Which way should we watch the fireworks? @Robin After all, you wouldn't want everyone to know that "the family's protection of Pinocchio has failed," would you...?
Which way should we watch the fireworks? Let's go, great heroes who will save the world!
[I left the group chat asking which way to watch the fireworks]
Robin: Everyone, don't let her nasty jokes distract you.
Robin: We'll meet at the coordinates.
March 7th: Once we catch her...we must teach her a lesson!
March 7th:
March 7th: I've wanted to teach this little devil a lesson for a long time.
Xing: Tidy up carefully.
"Star!!" Firefly suddenly interrupted Star's typing.
"What's wrong?" Xing suddenly looked up.
"Hmph! I'm ignoring you!"
Liu Ying crossed her arms, pouted, and walked away without looking back.
"Wait for me."
Although Xing didn't know what had happened, she still put away her phone and followed.
Xing and Liuying quickly arrived at the location coordinates of the fireworks.
It is the swimming pool of the Huichangshi.
Looking around, there were only two people, Liuying and Xing.
"Looks like we're the first ones to arrive."
"That looks like a real bomb!"
Firefly saw the firework doll at the bottom of the pool.
The "Real Bomb" doll: "Twenty-eight minutes and forty-six seconds... twenty-eight minutes and forty-five seconds..."
"I'll give it a try."
Xing leaped into the pool with a leap of faith.
Hey! Watch your step!
The firefly, who had just been ignoring everyone, now worried about the star's safety.
Soon, Xing pulled the bomb doll out of the water.
"Can you take it apart?" Xing placed the wet doll on the edge of the pool.
"I have experience defusing bombs before, but not this model..."
"Anyway, I'll give it a try..."
Firefly took a deep breath and opened the bomb.
But this bomb seems to be no ordinary product; it appears to be fixed in place by some kind of destiny.
"No..." After trying for a while, Liu Ying gave up.
"I've studied it for a long time, but the structure of this bomb is very special, as if it's locked by some inexplicable force of destiny..." Liu Ying explained the cause and effect.
"If it were to explode here... the consequences would be unimaginable."
Suddenly, a light bulb appeared above Xing's head.
"Have it!"
"There's only one bomb, right?"
"Yes, right..." Firefly said uncertainly.
"That's easy."
Xing picked up the bomb doll, took a quick step and launched it with a meteor swing, throwing it out of the Huichangshi ship's airship.
"This..." Liu Ying was completely baffled by Xing's move.
"All done, call it a day!" Xing wiped his hands.
But when she turned her head, the bomb doll reappeared at the bottom of the pool.
"Real Bomb" Doll: "Twenty-seven minutes and fifty-two seconds... twenty-seven minutes and fifty-one seconds..."
"No way, are you cheating like this?" Xing was dumbfounded.
This thing doesn't have legs, so how could it run back by itself?
"Well, as I just said, this bomb's life force is locked, so even if you throw it out, it will still return to its original position," Liu Ying sighed.
"What should we do then?" Xing was at a loss.
“I’m afraid only its creator can dismantle it,” Firefly said.
"Mom...I don't want to die..."
Xing suddenly missed Eve.
If she had acted decisively and pulled Eve's mom along, Hanabi would already be collecting her reward.
“You…” Liu Ying was speechless and fell silent.
"Oh well, never mind."
"Actually... it's not entirely hopeless."
"Remember? The script said I would experience three 'deaths' in Pinocchio."
"I think this is the prelude to the 'third time'."
With each word Liu Ying uttered, her resolve grew stronger.
"I told you not to rewind the plot in this kind of setting!" Xing complained.
