Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

"If you want to investigate the case, just ask for leave. I will grant it... No, why don't we investigate together? I am also curious about the 'serial disappearance of girls' case and the case of Carles."

Wang Chen said bluntly: "I know who the murderer is."

"Eh?"

"The so-called 'duty' is just an excuse to delay time."

"Then why don't you tell Navia? Are you going to let the criminal go unpunished?"

"If we catch him now, the pace will be too fast. We haven't finished our preparations yet, right?"

"You mean... the criminal is related to the prophecy?!"

"His involvement will reveal the truth about the 'dissolution' mentioned in the prophecy."

"!" Instantly, a layer of fear covered Funina's face. "The Fontaine people...will they really be dissolved...? But they are living people...how can they be dissolved?"

"It's time to tell you something." Wang Chen revealed, "The thing that can dissolve the Fontaine people is called the water of the original fetal sea. The Fontaine people who come into contact with the water of the original fetal sea will lose their form and turn into a pool of water."

Having never seen it with her own eyes, Funina could only imagine the weird scene in her mind, and then she frowned: "If...if the criminal really has such a dangerous thing in his hands, I think it would be better to arrest him now."

"Don't worry, I have already found some friends to help monitor him. Before the trial, he will not have the opportunity to do evil again."

Finina nodded hesitantly, and then asked curiously, "What exactly is that primordial fetal sea water that can turn people into water?"

"As the name suggests, the water of the Original Sea of ​​Fetus is the water of the Original Sea of ​​Fetus. As for what the Original Sea of ​​Fetus is... let's not delve into it for now. You just need to know that the Original Sea of ​​Fetus is located below Fontaine, at a place lower than the seabed of the Fontaine High Sea."

"Under the sea...under the sea...Mello Petersburg built on the seabed shouldn't be dangerous...right?"

Facing Funina's innocent question, Wang Chen tried to guess: "How did you determine that Melo Petersburg was not dangerous? You didn't think that because it was built underwater, Melo Petersburg's sealing was very good, so it would not be invaded by the water of the original fetal sea, right?"

"Yes." Funina really tapped her chin. "I have always felt that if the prophecy comes true one day, Melo Petersburg must be the safest place in Fontaine."

"But unfortunately, Melo Petersburg will be the first channel for the water of the original fetal sea to rise."

“How could it be…?!”

"Do you know why Melo Petersburg was built on the seabed?" Wang Chen asked back.

"It was already there when I arrived... Could it be that the former water goddess Egolia deliberately arranged this?"

"Yes."

"But why did she do this? Why did she set up such a dangerous place to exile her people? Forget it... Move! We need to move the people in Melo Petersburg as well as quickly!!"

"There is no need to move. Duke Leosli, who manages Melo Petersburg, should have been prepared. However, a visit is still necessary."

……

The original punishment in Fontaine was exile, and it remains so today. As a destination for exile, Meropenem cannot be roughly defined as a "prison for detention". Its essence is closer to a "gathering place for exiles".

Therefore, Melo Peterburg is not nominally affiliated with the Fontaine judicial system, and it has always existed in the form of exile autonomy. Its current manager is called Leosly.

However, it is inevitable that some people will reform themselves during the exile process, and some people only go there for a short period of time to be reformed and will return to Fontaine one day, so almost everyone there still believes in the water god, and the water god still recognizes them as his people.

Including Fontaine, it will still send guards to Merlo Petersburg to monitor and assist in maintaining public order, so Fontaine naturally has a way to travel and communicate with Merlo Petersburg.

Just like Merlot Peterburg is located in the deep sea of ​​the Liphi district in the northernmost part of Fontaine, but its ground entrance is located in the Irierelin district in the central and eastern part of Fontaine, right behind the Opiecle Opera House.

The distance between Merlo Petersburg and Opicolet Opera House is not short. Perhaps in order to facilitate the timely exile of prisoners, Fontaine spent a lot of effort to build an underwater waterway between the two places. As long as you descend to the seabed from the elevator behind the Opicolet Opera House and then "check in" with the staff here, you can pass through the long underwater waterway and leisurely take a boat to Merlo Petersburg.

Thanks to Funina, Wang Chen boarded the ship to Melopeneburg even without checking in, and was personally received by the manager of Melopeneburg as soon as he got off the ship.

"Good morning, Lord Water God." Leosli came with some of his men and security guards to greet him. "But it's impossible to see the sun here, whether in the morning or at night. If you want to discuss something, you can actually call me to the ground. That way the environment will definitely be better."

"It doesn't matter. What we want to talk about is related to Melo Petersburg, so it's better to talk about it here."

"Oh?" Leoslili raised an eyebrow, "Is it related to the prophecy?"

"You guys have received the news, right? The prophecy that Fontaine will be flooded is approaching."

"Yes, I also heard that the lower-lying Baisong Town has begun to relocate residents under your order a few days ago. The terrain of Melo Petersburg is even lower... Haha, just kidding. To be honest, as a special place that has been 'submerged' under the sea, we are not very sensitive to floods. What concerns us most is the part that 'everyone will be dissolved'."

"Dissolve... Don't worry, I won't let you dissolve, but I still need a little help..." As Leosli continued to go deeper into Melo Petersburg, Funina suddenly changed the subject and said, "This place hasn't changed much compared to the last time I came here."

"Have you been here?"

"Of course. The last time was one hundred and twenty years ago or one hundred and nineteen years ago? I can't remember."

"Haha, this is a worry that only gods would have." Leosli smiled and shook his head, "But you said you need help, is there anything that Melo Petersburg can do for you?"

"…I want to take a good look around Mellow Petersburg, preferably without leaving out any corner."

"Of course, I can show you around."

Although Leosli was surprised, he still gave a few instructions and sent the other personnel back to their posts first, leaving himself alone here as a tour guide.

Fu Nina secretly glanced at Wang Chen who was standing on the other side of her, and thought bitterly in her heart: It's this guy again, saying that for the sake of the authenticity of the performance, only so much can be revealed, and the rest of the content must be discovered by myself...
