Genshin Impact was written as Three-Body Problem, but due to delayed updates, Fou locked him in a da

Luo Xiao was somewhat surprised; he understood the importance of that ring to Navia.

"...Is this really a good idea?"

"Of course, I don't want to end up like Silver, having my mind controlled by a mere ring."

"But you..."

"Don't overthink it. You don't necessarily have to rely on that evil thing to get the truth."

Navia patted Luo Xiao on the shoulder, as if to comfort him.

At this moment, Luo Xiao seemed to have made up his mind. He then tossed the unconscious Silver aside, grasped Navia's hand tightly, and solemnly said to her,

"I'm making a promise with you today. No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely find a way to find out the truth about the case of the master back then. Until then, please wait for me!"

Navia was stunned by Luo Xiao's serious expression.

That heart, which hadn't beaten passionately for years, finally began to beat faster and faster uncontrollably at this moment.

For a fleeting moment, she had an urge to hold Luo Xiao tightly in her arms, but she resisted.

However, she wasn't idle. For example, when Luo Xiao was distracted, she suddenly stood up and kissed the boy's lips again.

This time, however, she acted purely out of love, without any ulterior motives.

Logically, no one should be able to disturb them in the room, but there just happens to be a third wheel who wants to wake up.

"Wow, it feels like I slept for ages."

Silver, who had been left aside, woke up and slowly floated over to Luo Xiao's side.

"Luo Xiao? Why are we in the basement?"

His memory was still stuck on the moment before he put on the ring, when he asked with some curiosity.

He looked at Navia again, and another question arose in his mind.

"Miss, Luo Xiao, why aren't you saying anything? And why are your faces so red? Did you just finish exercising?"

"Well, you could say that."

Luo Xiao admitted it without batting an eye, but Navia, who was kissing for the first time, blushed even more when she heard him say that.

"Eh? Miss, your face is as red as an apple. Are you sick? Should you see a doctor?"

Silver, unaware of what had happened, looked at Navia's flushed face, scratched his head, and asked in confusion.

"N-nothing..." Navia felt a little embarrassed by Silver's stare, and a faint blush rose on her face.

Suddenly, she remembered that she had brought several tickets to the Aubiglais Opera House with her.

“Oh, right, I also managed to buy a few tickets to the Obi-Clay Opera.” Navia tried to mask her nervousness with a calm tone, her gaze shifting slightly between Silver and Luo Xiao. “Today there’s a magic show by Linni, Fontaine’s most famous magician.”

"To reward us for all our hard work in the investigation and for earning so much money for the Rose Association, I've decided to treat you to today's magic show!"

Upon hearing that there was a magic show, Silver immediately forgot about what had just happened: "Really? That's great! Long live the young lady!"

Luo Xiao nodded and accepted the ticket. He also wanted to see what the Great Magician of Fontainebleau looked like. Moreover, he had just submitted the manuscript of "Wandering Blue Star" to Steambird Newspaper, so he could take this opportunity to relax.

“That’s great! You guys get ready first, I’ll go call Myles…” Navia’s voice was full of anticipation and excitement, as if the whole world was cheering for the upcoming night. “We’ll set off in half an hour.”

After saying that, she excitedly left Luo Xiao's room.

She walked briskly down the corridor, her mind still filled with unanswered questions, but she felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

She knew that there were still people in this world who cared about her silently, and this realization warmed her heart.

……

An hour later, Navia brought Luo Xiao and Silvermeles to Fontaine. After entrusting the mechanical horse to the Clockwork Mechanism's temporary storage facility, the group went to the Opiclie Opera House.

Luo Xiao and his group sat in the third row according to their tickets.

Luo Xiao looked around and saw a blond traveler not far ahead talking to a white unidentified flying object.

Without a doubt, these must be Xie Ying and Paimon.

Then he saw that Ying and Paimon were discussing something with a cold and noble-looking person. When he looked up, he found that Funina was also sitting in her seat in a chuunibyou pose, staring at the group.

Soon after, the magic show officially began.

Suddenly, the lights dimmed, and the magic show officially began. On stage, Linni's figure became even more mysterious under the spotlight.

His hat seemed to come alive, floating in mid-air, while playing cards, pigeons, and various strange magic props danced and fluttered with his gestures.

The audience's attention was completely captivated, but this was far from the climax; the real excitement was about to unfold...

Suddenly, Lynette leaped lightly, her figure like an elegant egret, flying into the huge water tank above the stage.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the water tank lid slammed shut, as if Lynette were sealed in a closed water world.

A tense atmosphere spread through the audience. Just when everyone thought it was a sudden stage accident, Linni snapped his fingers, triggering an incredible change.

Lynette in the water seemed to turn into bubbles and slowly disappear, leaving behind her gorgeous clothes quietly sinking.

Linni appeared completely at ease on stage, as if he were conversing with some mysterious force in the air.

After several calls, a scene that shocked everyone occurred—Linette, who had seemed to be dissolved in the water, quietly emerged from behind Linnie, and the two of them were greeted by thunderous cheers from the audience.

"Dangdang~"

Lynette, expressionless, made a "ding-ding" sound, ending the magic show.

Then Linni "randomly" selected a lucky girl to go on stage and perform a magic trick with him. Linni then asked the audience to join him in counting down to sixty seconds.

Linni stood in the center of the stage, the lights elongating his shadow and casting it into the audience's line of sight. His voice was full of confidence, with a touch of mysterious charm.

"Thank you for your applause. Were you satisfied with the performance? However, our amazing journey is far from over. I have prepared a moment that will surprise you even more."

His hands waved gently in the air, as if depicting a wondrous world visible only to him: "The magic of teleportation and disappearance can still evolve beyond this. Astute viewers have probably already guessed it; the next magic trick is an exchange!"

Then, Linni and a randomly selected girl went into their respective boxes, and the audience began to count down at Linni's request. The countdown echoed throughout the opera house, and every second was filled with anticipation and tension.

The audience's eyes were fixed on the two boxes. As the seconds ticked by, a tense breath erupted from the crowd when the countdown reached its final second.
