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

Since the Cardinal of the Decree had already found Marcellus guilty, it was reasonable for him to do these things. So he gently raised his hand and, as Luo Xiao had instructed, transferred the spring water from the pool in front of the Opiclie Opera House to the scene, while also enhancing the ability of all the audience members present to perceive the water element.

Then, Luo Xiao turned around and looked at the audience whose water element perception had been enhanced: "Next, please witness the appearance of the victims of all the 'serial disappearances of girls' over the past twenty years."

Upon hearing Luo Xiao's words, all the audience members were shocked. Weren't the victims in the 'serial disappearance of girls' supposed to have all passed away? Could it be that they didn't die?

To the astonishment of all the spectators, they witnessed an unbelievable sight—pure water sprites, like creatures from a fairy tale, gradually emerged before their eyes.

Vasher recognized one of the elves at a glance, and was almost unable to contain his excitement. He rushed forward, his voice loud and full of emotion: "Veneer! Is that you? It's me! I'm Vasher, Venerer!"

The pure water sprite responded softly and drawn out: "Washe...washe..."

Marcel's voice was filled with urgency and anticipation: "I'm here, I'm here... Where are you, Vinier? I'm coming to find you..."

Paimon called out anxiously from the side, "Hey, wait a minute, be careful, hey!"

But Marcel seemed completely captivated by the familiar voice, and his consciousness was gradually drawn away.

“Veneer…is that you? It’s me, Vasher, Venere…”

Marcel's voice was filled with nostalgia and emotion; she was deeply moved at that moment.

However, just as Marcel was overjoyed at finally reuniting with Vinier, Luo Xiao, who already knew the truth, simply showed a faint smile.

At this moment, Navia looked at Luo Xiao with a worried expression, thinking to herself, "Are we just going to let them reunite like this? Isn't this punishment a bit too lenient for such a heinous villain?"

Luo Xiao guessed what Navia was thinking, so he used the [Mental Imprint] again to forcibly increase Marcell's mental perception to 100%, a level that is dozens of times more sensitive than that of an ordinary person!

In other words, although he could feel the presence of the pure water spirit more realistically than others, his mental perception ability was also dozens of times stronger than others, meaning that mental pain would make him more sensitive.

At this moment, inside the lobby of the Opiclie Opera House.

The pure water sprite said softly, "Vashe, what brings you here? I told you I didn't need you to come..."

She continued, "You...you look like you've aged a lot. How long has it been?"

Marcellus's voice was filled with sorrow: "It's been...more than twenty years, since the day you left. I've been suffering for more than twenty years."

His eyes glistened with tears: "For the past twenty years, I have lived solely to restore you; everything else has been meaningless to me."

“Ah, am I dreaming? I can’t believe I have this opportunity to tell you everything that’s on my mind…” Marcell’s voice was filled with an almost unbelievable joy.

“Venere…you are my everything. Without you, I don’t know how I could live…”

However, the Pure Water Sprite's answer was unexpected: "And I think... Vashe, it would be better if you weren't there!"

Marcellus was stunned: "What...did you say?"

The water sprite's voice suddenly turned deep and dark, tinged with anger: "Without you, I could have finished studying law and perhaps become a top-notch 'agent'..."

Under the astonished gaze of the audience, one after another, pure water sprites appeared before their eyes like a dream. The scene was both beautiful and surreal, leaving everyone in disbelief.

Upon seeing one of the elves, Vashe rushed forward excitedly, his voice both urgent and expectant: "Veneer! Is that you? It's me! Vashe, Vener!"

The pure water sprite responded in a soft, affectionate voice: "Washe...washe..."

Marcel pressed anxiously, "You... wait, you're not Viner... who are you?"

The pure water sprite's voice turned mournful: "That's right, I'm not Vinier, I'm... a 'sacrifice'."

She continued, “Every girl who dies in your hands, their consciousness returns to the primordial womb as their body dissipates.”

“Our consciousness flows continuously in the womb, no longer scattered, and finally becomes one.” Her voice carried an indescribable sadness.

“I am Kresh, I am Limoni, I am Azena… but I am not Vernel.”

Marcel asked in shock, "What about Verner?"

The water sprite replied sadly, "She doesn't want to see you. Every wisp of her consciousness avoids you."

"This is the consequence of your selfishness, Vashe. You selfishly took away our young lives without ever considering whether she would have wanted to see all this, or whether she would have been disappointed in you."

Marcel lowered her head helplessly: "I...I..."

The pure water sprite said coldly, "You are a liar, a murderous demon, a self-absorbed coward. But you are definitely not Vinier's lover."

“Venere has hated you ever since you killed the first girl.”

Luo Xiao thought to herself, "It seems that when I first came here, I didn't see Vinier. They were originally here to lure Marcellus here."

Marcel pleaded desperately, "No...Venere, she hates me, she won't let me see her, please..."

The water sprite said softly, "She told you not to come looking for her. This is the last bit of pity she has for you."

"Because she knows that if you come here, 'we' will never let you go."

As countless pure water sprites repeated "Vashe," "Vashe," Vinier's voice suddenly rang out: "Die!"

Marcellus's screams echoed through the air: "Aa ...

Thus, Marcell's mind was attacked by countless pure water spirits, and as a result, the mental anguish he suffered was dozens of times greater than that of ordinary people.

Marcel's spirit was gradually devoured, and she suffered a mental breakdown in endless agony until she died. This kind of death was even more painful than physical torture.

Later, the police discovered that Marcel, the culprit behind the series of missing girls, seemed to have lost his soul, but in the end, the doctor determined that he died from excessive shock.

After everything was over, Navelette asked Luo Xiao to sign the judgment. Luo Xiao walked to Navelette and Funina's side and signed the judgment.

At this crucial moment, a hint of surprise flashed in Funina's eyes. Her gaze was fixed on Luo Xiao's handwriting, which overlapped with a scene in her memory—the handwriting on the original manuscript copy of her treasured teacher, 'Xiao Xiao'.

Fu Ningna's heart began to race, and an unbelievable thought flashed through her mind: Could it be that Luo Xiao, the detective of the Thorn Rose Society, is the 'Xiao Xiao' teacher she has been searching for?

Her movements were swift and tense as she pulled the precious original manuscript from her pocket. Her hands trembled slightly as she began to carefully compare the handwriting of the two manuscripts. Every curve and every pause silently confirmed her inner suspicions.

Finally, amidst the shock, Funina raised her head, her eyes filled with disbelief and admiration, and asked in a trembling but firm voice, "So you are 'Xiaoxiao'?!"
