Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

The audience seats instantly boiled over, with countless fluorescent signs waving wildly.

Finina spun around on tiptoe, revealing a pair of sharp fangs in her smile. The vampire cloak behind her fluttered in the wind, and paired with her blue skirt, she looked like a strange flower blooming in the dark night.

"She is Funina?" Karin asked in surprise.

Keli nodded happily: "How is it? Isn't it amazing?"

Finina raised her hands to greet all the audience, then coughed a few times in a pretentious manner.

"Ahem, everyone, please be quiet. What our troupe is performing for you today isn't a play, nor is it an opera. Instead, it's a dramatic performance that blends horror, art, and some magic!"

As she spoke, she opened her arms and smiled.

"I'm sure everyone's a bit tired of the usual magic tricks. Like the card trick, the rabbit appearing out of thin air, or the three immortals returning to the cave—you should all be more or less familiar with the principles behind them. So today, I'm going to bring you a different, brand-new art form!"

The stage suddenly fell into darkness, and only the crisp sound of Fernina's finger snaps could be heard.

"First of all, I would like to state that neither I, Mr. Linnie, nor anyone else in the troupe are contractors."

The lights came on again, but this time they were focused on the top of the stage. At this moment, a lifting platform with a standard vampire coffin lying on it was seen slowly descending from above.

"Ahem!" Finina suddenly coughed a few times. The elevator stopped in mid-air, and the lights focused on her again. "There's one more thing I need to make clear."

She walked to the center of the stage and then stomped heavily on the floor twice.

dong dong!

The crisp movement changed the theater along the loudspeaker, and Funina winked cunningly.

"As you can see, the ground is solid, so there can't be a secret passage."

The light focused on the coffin again, and at this time, the lift had completely landed on the ground where Funina was stepping.

At this time, she stood beside the coffin, tapping the coffin lid lightly with her white-gloved fingers.

"Next, I will lie down in this mold. To ensure authenticity, the troupe has also invited security agencies to assist with the performance."

As soon as he finished speaking, two security machines suddenly appeared on the stage. One of them was holding a hammer, while the other had many one-meter-long nails beside it.

For a moment, there was a sound of surprised discussion in the audience.

"When you see me in this outfit, you should have guessed it to some extent. Think carefully about what vampires are afraid of in stories? Garlic? A cross? A hammer or a wooden stake? But none of that matters. What matters is what will happen when the lovely vampire lady is attacked while she is sleeping in her coffin?"

After she finished speaking, Finina lay down gracefully in the coffin, folded her hands on her chest, and winked playfully at the audience: "Then let's begin, Mr. Linney."

Linni, standing by, walked towards the coffin with a smile: "Captain Funina, are you sure you've thought everything through?"

Finina smiled and said, "Of course, we can't let the audience down."

Linnie nodded: "Okay then."

He slowly closed the coffin lid and then turned to face the audience.

"Next, please don't blink."

Hey!

Linnie smiled and snapped his fingers, and the next second the security agency began to take action.

The hammer and the long nail gleamed coldly under the spotlight. With the precise movement of the robotic arm, the first nail was nailed diagonally into the coffin.

Wow!

There was a commotion in the audience. When the second and third nails were driven diagonally into the coffin, Linnie suddenly called a halt.

"Oh my God, the iron nails have pierced through the coffin. Captain Funina, are you okay now?" he asked in a panic.

However, Funina in the coffin replied as if nothing had happened: "Ah? So it has already begun? Why didn't I feel anything?"

The audience erupted in laughter. Linnie wiped his forehead in an exaggerated manner: "It seems our vampire lady is sleeping soundly~"

He turned to the security machine and winked slyly: "Then... a few more?"

The robotic arm immediately executed the command, hammering three more nails into the coffin at different angles. This time, the nails clearly penetrated the area where Funina lay.

"Captain Funina, are you really okay? Don't be so stubborn!" Linny asked again while standing in front of the coffin.

At this moment, dark red liquid oozed from the cracks in the coffin, appearing particularly glaring under the stage lights. Screams rose one after another from the audience.

"Trying to be brave? No, did you really hammer the nail into the coffin? I still don't feel anything here." Funina's lazy voice came from the coffin, even with a hint of sleepiness.

Linny covered his mouth exaggeratedly: "No way, this is the sixth nail. There are only a few places left to hammer nails into the coffin now."

"Really? There are only a few nails left, why not hammer them all in at once?"

Linny showed an embarrassment. "Nail them all up? Captain, are you really sure you want to do this? What if..."

"It's okay~" the voice in the coffin said with a lazy smile, "It's not like the vampire will really die anyway~"

This answer caused laughter in the audience. Linnie shrugged and gestured "continue" to the security machine.

"Well, in that case, I'll just give it a try."

The last three nails were driven in at a tricky angle, one of which even went right through the top of the coffin. Dark red liquid had already formed a small pool on the ground.

For a moment, everyone who had been laughing just now held their breath.

And as the last one came down vertically from the chest, the entire theater fell into silence.

"Captain Funina, how are you now? Are you okay?"

Lini asked again, but this time, there was no response from Funina. A moment later...

"Oh my God, is something wrong with the captain? Hurry up, take out the nail!" Linnie said in a panic.

At this moment, a machine put down its tools and pulled out the nails from the coffin one by one, each nail leaving a trace of blood. By the time the nail in the chest was pulled out, the coffin was completely deformed.

The audience at the scene dared not breathe, and some even left their seats and prepared to contact the law enforcement team.

Linny hurriedly pushed open the lid of the coffin, but after the coffin was opened, the girl was lying in the twisted coffin with a sleeping face.

"Haha~ Is it over?" Finina rubbed her eyes and woke up as if from a dream, but there was no visible wound on her body.

As she slowly stood up, the coffin and the floor beneath her clearly showed signs of being pierced by iron nails.

Fernina stretched lazily, her dress wrinkle-free. She playfully made a scissors gesture at the camera: "How's it going? Miss Vampire, did you sleep well?"
