Chapter 75

The terror of death made Childe break out in a cold sweat.

He had no idea what had just happened.

But, the next second.

The force pressing down on him suddenly surged.

"Wah!"

Childe didn't even have time to react; a mouthful of blood sprayed from his lips, and he instantly fainted dead away.

"Ah! This is..."

"Is he dead?"

"Hey, what's wrong with that guy?"

"I don't know. He was transforming, then suddenly collapsed to the ground, and then spat blood."

"....."

One unexpected shock after another caused an uproar among the crowd.

Neuvillette hurried over to Childe's side and checked him over.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief: "Everyone, please calm down. He has merely fainted."

Then, he raised his eyes to look at Su Bai, who was walking toward the stage.

Neuvillette spoke softly: "Did you do this?"

Su Bai feigned slight surprise and looked at Neuvillette in astonishment: "My Lord Judge, I do not know what you are talking about."

The crowd did not hear the two whispering, but Su Bai's presence as Mr. clearly drew the attention of the venue.

"It is the Pope."

"When did the Pope arrive?"

"We were so scared by that Fatui Harbinger just now that we didn't even notice the Pope appearing."

Hearing the cheers rising from below, Su Bai pressed his hand down, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone, please be a little quieter."

"The trial is still ongoing. Since the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale has judged Mr. Childe guilty, let us first take him to the Fortress of Meropide."

Having finished speaking, Su Bai turned to look at Neuvillette: "My Lord Neuvillette, is this not the proper procedure for the trial?"

Neuvillette nodded and did not engage in any further "dispute" with Su Bai in such a setting.

"According to the procedure, Mr. Childe must indeed be imprisoned in the Fortress of Meropide."

Neuvillette signaled to the people of the Marechaussee Phantom, who dragged the unconscious Childe away.

"Wait a moment." 3.3

At this moment.

Lumine, Paimon, and Navia stepped forward.

The three wore expressions of confusion.

Paimon couldn't help but ask: "We have already found the culprit behind the serial girl disappearances."

"The case has been solved, so why is the Young Master still judged guilty?"

"Oh? So it was you who solved the girl disappearance case. Truly..."

Su Bai was just about to change the subject, but Lumine questioned: "My Lord Pope, the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale has malfunctioned twice."

"Shouldn't you provide an explanation?"

"Mind your words, Traveler." Su Bai still wore a smile: "The so-called accident last time was specially arranged by the Hydro Archon."

"This time..."

Su Bai showed an expression of being unable to speak his true feelings.

"My Lord Pope, what is going on here?"

"Yes, could the Hydro Archon provide an explanation?"

The people of Fontaine were equally worried about the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, after all, all of Fontaine's energy is provided by the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale.

"This..." Furina was completely stunned.

Fortunately, at this moment, Su Bai's long sigh attracted everyone's attention.

"You should know that Lin Ni from the House of the Hearth once entered the core of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale."

"Could it be..." Egeria followed closely behind, revealing a trace of shock.

The people of Fontaine suddenly understood.

It was the Fatui who were behind this; they must have used some method to destroy the stability of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale.

"The Hydro Archon has also been attempting to adjust the energy stability of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale recently."

"As everyone saw earlier, that troublemaking Fatui Harbinger was severely injured precisely because of the energy riot of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale."

"However, please rest assured. Once this violent energy is cleared out, things will naturally return to normal."

Chapter 57: So long, so lonely, how much longer...

The livestream.

Aether, "filled with righteous indignation," finally felt a sliver of satisfaction in getting back at his brother-in-law.

Aether: "Hahaha, I actually guessed it right. Su Bai indeed pinned the blame on the Fatui."

Aether: "Sigh! Your brother-in-law is indeed your brother-in-law."

Dai Yin: "Aether, have you given up opposing Lumine and Su Bai seeing each other?"

Aether: "....."

Aether: "Dai Yin, at a critical moment you speak in riddles, yet when you undermine me, you have more words than anyone."

Dai Yin: "Please hand over your one hundred million Mora. We can travel and watch films along the way."

Arlecchino: "There's no way around it. Lin Ni's actions at the time couldn't be fully confessed due to the trial, but this has now become Mr. Su Bai's sharp weapon for counterattack."

Lin Ni: "Mr. Su Bai is truly a wife-protecting maniac, going berserk."

Lynette: "Actually, I'm very envious deep down."

Lin Ni: "Huh?"

Aether: "Heh, do all younger sisters have rebellious bones nowadays?"

Zhong Li: "Then the question is, if Lin Ni hadn't entered the core of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale back then, how would Su Bai have responded?"

Abyssal: "Ho! That is indeed a question worth deep thought; I momentarily didn't know how to respond."

Lisa: "It really is a very difficult question to answer."

Alhaitham: "A question like this has depth and is worth repeated scrutiny."

Klee: "I never thought my head would even start hurting."

Venti: "Ehe, in that case, just say the Harbinger's Delusion affected the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale's energy."

Dvalin: "Snap out of it, Barbatos. The Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale had problems first; Tartaglia's Delusion came after."

Scaramouche: "But Mr. Su Bai's power is still formidable. What exactly did he use to defeat Tartaglia?"

Tartaglia: "If even Master isn't clear, I certainly don't understand."

Scaramouche: "Invisible energy, yet it pressed your body so you couldn't even move a finger, making your entire body feel heavy. This..."

Neuvillette: "This requires the person involved to answer. @Su Bai."

Su Bai: "Judging by my current power, what defeated Tartaglia was likely the manipulation of the gravitational field."

Nahida: "Altered the gravitational environment around Tartaglia's body?"

Osial: "Huh? That works too..."

Scaramouche: "I see. The surrounding environment was altered, and one's own various factors would be affected by changes in the environment. No wonder, Mr. Su Bai. I'm truly looking forward to meeting you more and more."

Lumine: "Heh, meeting is fine, but please don't come wearing hot pants."

Scaramouche: "This... shouldn't matter much..."

Aether: "Don't change the subject, brother-in-law. If you can answer the above question and guarantee to uphold Furina's dignity, I will recognize you."

Paimon: "Wow! Lumine, your brother is clashing with Su Bai again."

Su Bai: "Are you asking how I would uphold Furina's dignity if Lin Ni hadn't gone to the core of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale?"

Aether: "Yes. In what other way could you uphold the Hydro Archon's dignity?"

Su Bai: "That's too simple. I think my mind in my past life wasn't very mature yet. If it were me now, I would tell everyone present that Furina has recently been researching ways to enhance the power of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, enabling it not only to provide energy to the people of Fontaine but also to actively inflict divine punishment on those causing trouble in Fontaine. Therefore, during the energy upgrade process of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, some minor problems may have occurred."
