At this time, Sawa and Nabeshima's wife arrived. A little girl shouted, "Dad!"
Battle Rabbit turned to Sawa and asked, "Nabeshima seems to have lost his memory. Does he truly not remember anything?"
Sawa's expression shifted uneasily. After a moment, Nabeshima noticed the energy bottles on the wall. He pointed and exclaimed, "Those people also have these bottles!"
The scene changed abruptly. "Why didn't you kill him?" Yeba demanded.
"Steve!" he called out.
Steve replied calmly, "I am the creator of the game. Considering all circumstances, I chose the most appropriate tactics. Everything is as planned."
The audience across the three realms heard this and felt uneasy. This revelation suggested that everything was still under Steve's control. What could his ultimate purpose be?
The scene shifted again. Battle Rabbit mused aloud, "This type of energy bottle can only be made by Misora. So how does Faust also have them?" Misora remained silent.
The audience also felt puzzled. Battle Rabbit's observation made sense. Could Misora be harboring a secret?
After a while, Battle Rabbit began hammering at the wall. Just then, Soichi returned, shouting, "What are you doing? Stop it immediately!"
Battle Rabbit pried off a metal plate and demanded, "This is the metal plate from Pandora's Box! Why is it here with you? Answer me!"
Soichi remained silent. Battle Rabbit's face darkened as he stared at him intently. "Are you a member of Faust?"
Soichi feigned innocence. "What do you mean?"
Battle Rabbit pressed on. "Don't play dumb. This metal plate was stolen from the research institute by Faust. Why is it in your possession? Are you working for Faust?"
The audience across the three realms also found the situation suspicious. Could Soichi truly be a member of Faust?
On the screen, Soichi didn't panic. Instead, he laughed and asked Misora, "Do you believe I'm part of Faust?"
Misora chuckled. "Impossible! Absolutely not!"
Wanzhang shouted, "What's so funny?"
Soichi grinned. "Think about it. How could someone as handsome as me be a villain?"
Battle Rabbit pressed further. "Then what's the deal with this metal plate?"
Misora explained, "I was captured by Faust. They targeted me because I can purify the elements of the Smashers."
Battle Rabbit looked surprised. "You were captured?"
Misora nodded. "But Dad rescued me. When he took me from their base, he also took the metal plate and some energy bottles."
The audience across the three realms began to believe Soichi.
"Oh, so he's not a member of Faust after all."
"Yes, that makes sense."
"It's reasonable; I trust him."
In an extraordinary chat group, Ganyu shared, "I was worried Soichi might be a member of Faust."
Shenhe added, "Yes, that would've made him and Battle Rabbit enemies. Thankfully, he isn't!"
On the screen, Wanzhang sighed in relief and turned to Misora. "So you stay home all day because of this?"
Misora replied, "Actually, my dad used to have a different job."
Battle Rabbit held up his phone, showing a picture. "This is it!"
Wanzhang was stunned. "Boss, you used to be an astronaut?"
Soichi nodded. "That's right. I discovered Pandora's Box on Mars."
Battle Rabbit pressed on. "You caused the Sky Wall tragedy! You made the box release light. Why did you do it?"
Soichi admitted, "At that time, I was influenced by Mars. I still don't fully understand why I acted that way."
The audience across the three realms were shocked.
"So Soichi caused the Sky Wall tragedy?"
"It seems he didn't do it on purpose."
The extraordinary chat group echoed the sentiment. Raiden Mei remarked, "I didn't expect Soichi was behind it!"
Himeko added, "But it wasn't intentional."
Kafka wondered aloud, "What really happened?"
Seele replied, "It's so mysterious!"
Back on the screen, Battle Rabbit said, "I heard that you helped Faust steal the metal plate."
Soichi quickly explained, "I did it to save Misora and make Faust believe I was on their side."
Battle Rabbit asked, "Then why didn't you return the metal plate to the government?"
Soichi replied, "If Faust got serious, they'd destroy the research institute. Returning it to the government wasn't safe."
Battle Rabbit questioned, "Why didn't you tell me all this earlier?"
Soichi answered, "I wanted to make sure you could become a Foundry and use the energy bottles to defeat Faust. Misora and I couldn't do it alone. We needed you."
Battle Rabbit thought for a moment and then said, "Fine, I forgive you. But your coffee is still terrible!"
The audience across the three realms burst out laughing.
"Soichi's coffee must be really bad!"
Suddenly, Sayu arrived, exclaiming, "Big news! I found someone who knows about Battle Rabbit's past!"
The scene shifted to a bandmate who excitedly greeted Battle Rabbit, but comically tripped into a glass wall. The audience laughed hysterically.
Later, they visited a messy apartment, which was supposedly Battle Rabbit's former home. The filth and disarray shocked everyone.
Finally, Faust's mechanical soldiers appeared, forcing Battle Rabbit to transform and fight. Despite saving lives, he was called a "wanted criminal" by ungrateful bystanders. The audience was outraged.
"How ungrateful can people be?"
"Battle Rabbit just saved them!"
In the end, the story left viewers intrigued and eager for answers about Steve, Soichi, and the mysterious forces at play.
