Chapter 62

Furina: "No, absolutely not. These are all matters from a past life."

Paimon: "But so far, there hasn't been any major change between that past life and this one."

Lumine: "She must have thought that way at the time."

Yae Miko: "Pfft, no wonder Naweiya said the Hydro Archon of Fontaine is cute. Seeing her inner thoughts, I think she is indeed very cute."

Nilou: "The so-called pride and complacency are all an illusion. The Hydro Archon of Fontaine's true self is actually a very cute girl."

Lisa: "No wonder Mr. Su Bai became the Pope of Fontaine. He must have seen through Furina's true nature long ago."

【Since Lin Ni concealed the facts, Lumine requested a one-hour recess to discuss Lin Ni's case in detail again.】

【After the trial resumed, Lumine recounted how Lin Ni entered the opera house's underground passage and then infiltrated the core of the Prophecy Machine through a ventilation shaft.】

【Precisely because of this, Lin Ni did not hear that loud boom.】

【The evidence Furina used to accuse Lin Ni instead became the most powerful proof clearing him of suspicion.】

【Furthermore, the guards of the Hall of Justice also discovered Primordial Sea water capable of dissolving people in Cowell's luggage.】

【Upon hearing for the first time that humans could be dissolved, the audience in the opera house erupted in an uproar.】

【Fortunately, due to the trial, this matter did not spread further.】

【Just as Lumine was about to win this defense, the guards ran over to tell everyone present that Primordial Sea water was also found in Lin Ni's luggage.】

【The situation immediately shifted again.】

A simple Fontaine trial left people from other nations in Teyvat dumbfounded.

Primordial Sea water can actually dissolve people?

Arataki Itto: "What does that mean? People can be dissolved by water?"

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "This is the first I've heard of such a thing."

Neuvillette: "....."

Jean: "The Chief Justice of Fontaine should know some inside information."

Tianquan Ningguang: "I recall reports stating that the great flood in Fontaine some time ago appeared suddenly. Could it be related to Primordial Sea water?"

Alhaitham: "They weren't dissolved either. I remember visiting Fontaine and hearing their prophecy was that the sea would rise and people would dissolve in the seawater."

Lei Si: "The sea did rise, but people did not dissolve."

Arlecchino: "Perhaps the prophecy encountered a change."

Dainsleif: "Facing this issue, everyone in Fontaine has gone silent. Is there something being concealed from everyone?"

Arlecchino: "I am a Fontainian, but I don't know what exactly happened in the end. Anyway, people did not dissolve."

Yae Miko: "Don't be so stingy. Anyway, with the exposure of the Reincarnation, I think your Fontaine secrets cannot be hidden. Just say it sooner."

·· ······ Begging for flowers ··· ···

Neuvillette: "Yes, I think we should wait for the exposure of the Reincarnation and see how Su Bai, as the Reincarnator, deals with the prophecy of the past life."

Venti: "Hah..."

【Having gathered all the evidence, Furina's momentum was unstoppable.】

【"The course of events is that Lin Ni conspired with his assistant Cowell to kidnap the girl Helise."】

【"But fearing the truth would be exposed, Lin Ni killed Cowell, placed him in a wooden box, used a water tank to crush him to death, and then used Primordial Sea water to dissolve Cowell."】

【"I suppose this is the finale."】

【With the joy of victory, Furina shouted to Neuvillette: "You, sitting there, that noble, revered Chief Justice, Mr., in your opinion, can we now..."】

【Just as Furina wanted Neuvillette to begin the verdict, Naweiya's appearance attracted everyone's attention.】

【"Everyone, listen, listen to me for a moment."】

【"Arguing back and forth, I think everyone must be tired of listening."】

【"Do you all want to see another performance of magic?"】

【"A performance of magic that can make the girl who has already disappeared reappear before us."】

【Eh?】

【Furina was instantly stunned.】

【In her deduction, Helise had already been harmed by Lin Ni. How could she appear again?】

【What does Naweiya of the Cimei Society want to do?】

【Furina looked calmly at the wooden box already prepared on the high platform.】

【Her heart was pounding nervously.】

【If Helise really appeared, then she had truly wrongly accused Lin Ni.】

【As a god, wrongly accusing someone would surely bring great consequences to herself.】

【But Naweiya is not the type of person who likes to act recklessly.】

【"This..."】

【"I haven't really wrongly accused an innocent person, have I?"】

【Furina subconsciously looked across.】

【Su Bai was still drinking tea.】

【"Hey, is there a mistake..."】

【"Do you still have the mood to drink tea now?"】

【"It's Naweiya." Paimon and Lumine looked happily at Naweiya.】

【Naweiya also cast a confident glance at the two.】

【"Lumine, Paimon, I finally know who secretly took the macarons from the table when we were eating that day."】

【"What? Could it be..." Paimon looked at the wooden box on the stage in surprise.】

Lumine: "Tsk, I didn't expect that in a past life we'd still end up in this situation, which means we've won."

Diluc: "So confident?"

Paimon: "Yes, Miss Navia is not someone who acts recklessly. It was only after she found the missing Heishi that she broke this deadlock, ultimately defeating the Hydro Archon and allowing Mr. Lin Ni to see the light again."

Furina: "Hey, what light? It sounds like I deliberately made things difficult for Lin Ni."

Navia: "Partner, don't make a decision too early. Mr. Su Bai hasn't made his move yet."

Lumine: "Even though my Mr. is exceptionally powerful, since you, Partner, have reached this point, he wouldn't make Haiwei disappear in front of so many people."

Clorinde: "That makes sense."

【"Please, Mr. Lin Ni..."】

【"Perform a wonderful magic show for everyone once more."】

【Navia gave Lin Ni a thumbs-up.】

【"Rest assured, the Cimei Society has already arranged everything for you who are troubled."】

【After hearing Navia's encouragement.】

【Lin Ni looked at the wooden box in the center of the stage.】

【Miles and Silver stood on either side of the wooden box, nodding confidently at Lin Ni.】

【"Snap." Lin Ni snapped his fingers.】

【"Ta-da..." Lynette followed closely with a cute prompting sound.】

【In an instant, spotlights shone down upon the wooden box.】

【After the wooden box opened, everyone was shocked.】

【Inside, there was nothing.】

【"This is..."】

【Navia was the first to freeze: "This is impossible, this..."】

【Miles and Silver, having reacted, were equally stunned: "Where is she?"】

【"We clearly saw her walk in. Where did she go?"】

【Paimon and Lumine were equally stunned.】

【The two looked at Navia in disbelief. Wasn't the agreement to help them deal with Furina? Could she be a spy sent by the Pope?】

【But that didn't make sense either. They were already powerless to defend Lin Ni, so for Navia to do this would be like adding feet to a snake.】

【"What exactly happened?" Lumine's heart couldn't stop trembling with shock.】

【"Huh? What's going on?"】
