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

As the countdown reached zero, Linni successfully emerged from the box in the audience seats, but the girl on the stage failed to appear. Suddenly, a loud crash was heard as the hanging water tank smashed the magic box on the stage.

Furnessa froze, while the excited audience speculated, "Is this...is this also part of the plan? Mr. Linni, you're going to restore the stage next, right?"

Linni was pale, muttering, "How could this happen..."

Paimon panicked: "Could it really be an accident? There's still someone in that box, right?"

At this moment, Navigette quickly took control of the situation: "The performance is off! Medical personnel, come with me! Security guards, secure the scene, control all performers, and temporarily close the opera house entrances and exits!"

Funina nodded: "You're right! If it was an accident, we need to find out the cause. If it wasn't an accident, then... then we can't escape the judgment of the god of justice!"

Navelette calmly reassured everyone: "Don't panic, you two. We'll find out what happened soon."

After an investigation, it was learned that a tragedy during the magic show resulted in the unfortunate death of assistant performer Cowell. The investigation revealed that fireworks on stage accidentally ignited a rope, causing a water tank to fall.

The mysterious disappearance of the girl who was supposed to be in the box has complicated the case. The security forces are now linking this incident to the "serial disappearances of girls" and believe it was more than just a stage accident.

The astonished audience murmured, "A...a missing girl?!"

Paimon said nervously, "[The serial disappearances of girls]...I remember it's the case Charlotte mentioned!"

A discerning glint flashed in Funina's eyes: "Hehehe, I know, I know. Using such an obvious answer as the 'grand finale' is a bit of an underestimation of us, isn't it? Isn't this highly skilled and all-powerful magician, Mr. Linni, the culprit behind the 'serial disappearances of girls'?"

Linnie retorted in horror, "Why me? This was completely an accident!"

Funina calmly analyzed: "The whole incident happened during the magic show. The girl was chosen and then disappeared. The person who died was your assistant... Now that I think about it, the opening statement about 'from existence to non-existence, from non-existence to existence' seems like a provocation."

"But……"

Linni was about to retort when Funina immediately shut her down: "You don't need to say anything more. I hereby declare the court hearing in session!"

After everyone else left, Ying and Paimon began gathering clues at the Obi-Clay Opera House, and Luo Xiao immediately suggested that they go and help them.

Navia nodded, then led Silvermeyer and followed Luo Xiao forward.

"Yes! It's you, or rather, all of you! Come here, we've been watching you for a long time!"

Paimon looked towards Navia's voice: "Me...us?"

Navia put her hands on her hips and nodded: "Yes, you are also people who want to cut through the thorns and pursue the truth. And judging from your appearance, you are not locals of Fontainebleau."

Paimon asked, somewhat puzzled, "Hmm, that's correct. Who are you?"

"Hehehe, you guys couldn't possibly have never heard of the [Rosethorn Society], could you?"

"Mediation of disputes, provision of protection, resolution of problems, detective work... a comprehensive and all-encompassing non-governmental organization—the [Rosethorn Society]!"

"And I am the famous current president of the [Rose Society], Navia."

"However, according to the custom where I'm from, everyone will call me Boss Yi."

After Navia finished speaking, Silver stepped forward to greet her: "Servant, Silver, hello."

Luo Xiao stepped forward and introduced herself in a calm tone: "My name is Luo Xiao, a top detective from the Rose Thorn Society."

Myles stepped forward and gave a very gentlemanly salute: "I am Myles, it's a pleasure to meet you. I usually take care of Miss's daily life and other matters."

Paimon was even more confused: "Huh? Why is it the boss one minute and the young lady the next? What's going on?"

Navia squinted and said softly, "Ahem, actually I am the second president. Myles and the others are still used to the old way of addressing me."

After introducing herself, Navia had a brief chat with Ying and Paimon before joining them in searching for clues.

After gathering all the clues, Ying and Paimon began to act as Linni's representatives and defend him. Under Ying and Paimon's defense, Furina, as the accuser, gradually lost ground.

Because there was ample evidence to support it, the audience gradually came to believe that Linni was not the murderer.

Luo Xiao wasn't really paying attention to the trial; his gaze remained fixed on the cardinal who issued the decree.

After learning about the Cardinal Decree from Navia, he never understood how it worked, but after witnessing it firsthand, he began to understand some of it.

As the trial proceeds, the decree of the cardinal authority continuously gathers the power of faith in "justice" from all the audience members in the Aubigail Opera House and transforms it into energy to supply the entire Fontaine.

This is what is called the "law compensation mixed energy," which is somewhat similar to one's own update urging value, except that the scale and scope of one's collection are larger.

All of Fontaine's guard agencies, patrol boats, and various energy-intensive facilities use a hybrid energy source.

Finally, with the Supreme Judge Navelette announcing the verdict on the Cardinal's trial, the trial ended with Linney and Lynette being found not guilty.

Just as everyone was preparing to celebrate, Navelette began to interrogate Vaughn, who had tampered with Linnie's luggage, demanding that he reveal the real culprit behind the series of missing girls and the origin of the "Primal Fetal Sea Water".

But just as Vaughn was about to reveal the name of the person behind it all, his body dissolved into water in full view of everyone…

……

"The murderer still hasn't been found...?"

After seeing that the clues had gone cold, Navia's expression clearly showed some regret.

"What's wrong, Navia? Are you disappointed that he didn't reveal the real culprit?"

Luo Xiao walked to Navia's side, stared at her disappointed face, and asked softly.

"Yes, the real demon is still at large, and who knows how many more people will be killed..."

Just as Luo Xiao was about to speak, a beautiful pink-haired girl dressed entirely in red walked over from the side.

“Miss Navia, hello. I’m Charlotte, a reporter from Steambird Newspaper. I’ve seen you coming and going from our office before.”

Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Navia looked up and greeted her in a friendly manner.

Charlotte then clenched her fists and encouraged Navia, saying, "Don't worry, Miss Navia! Justice will surely prevail over evil, and the guilty will be brought to justice!"

“I’ve often heard about your father’s case from back then, and I believe that the truth about your father’s injustice will soon come to light!”

Hearing Charlotte's words of comfort, Navia immediately smiled confidently: "Yes! That guy will definitely be locked up in jail!"

"Let's not talk about this anymore, I'll treat you to dinner!"

Upon hearing that Navia was going to treat everyone to dinner, Charlotte quickly waved her hand and said, "I heard from Editor-in-Chief Ou Fu that you have been helping us search for Teacher 'Xiao Xiao'. Thanks to you, we were able to receive the manuscripts for the first two volumes of 'The Three-Body Problem' on time."

"For this, all the bonuses in our newspaper have doubled! To thank you all, let me treat you to this meal!"

With that, Charlotte looked at Luminous and Paimon standing to the side and continued, "You two worked hard too, come on over!"

Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Paimon's eyes widened: "Wow! Charlotte's treating us to dinner! That's great!"

"Wait...you just said that the manuscript for that really good book, 'The Three-Body Problem,' was collected with the help of Navia and the others? That's amazing!"

The mute bride, Ying, also spoke up, asking, "Charlotte, do you know when the next 'Three-Body Problem' book will be published?"

Upon hearing her friend's question, Charlotte glanced around warily. After confirming that no one else was around, she leaned closer to the group and whispered, "I'll let you in on a little secret: Teacher 'Xiao Xiao' has already sent us a manuscript, but it's not a sequel to 'The Three-Body Problem,' but a completely new work."

"The name is 'Wandering Blue Star'!"
