"Sorry, I'm late."

As these words were spoken, a tall figure suddenly appeared on the stage.

Ying's eyes were fixed on the stranger who had suddenly barged in. She instinctively gripped the sword in her hand and became secretly on guard.

If this uninvited guest is there to interfere with the final outcome, she will definitely stop him without hesitation.

“The courtroom is not to be disturbed, young man. You have disrupted court order twice now, and I have the right to try you as well.”

Navelette frowned slightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes, and warned in a serious tone.

"Haha, was my entrance too flashy? Your Honor, Judge~"

The boy smiled nonchalantly, then waved casually and took a step into the air towards the audience.

In that brief moment, his figure vanished from the stage and reappeared behind Ying.

"Dear traveler, please don't be too hostile towards me~"

The boy smiled, gently patted Ying and Paimon's shoulders, and whispered in Ying's ear, "Otherwise, it would make me very sad~"

"Ah—when did he leave behind me?"

Paimon screamed in terror, his body jerked back, his eyes widened, and his face was filled with astonishment.

She hurriedly turned to look at the boy, her heart filled with fear and confusion.

"So fast... I didn't even notice..."

Ying was startled, and her expression turned serious.

She tried to keep her distance from the boy, but found that her body was as if bound by an invisible force, and she could not move at all.

This had never happened before, leaving her utterly shocked and confused.

"Your Honor, I apologize for interrupting this trial. But since this is about uncovering the mastermind behind the serial disappearances of girls, I can't be absent, right? After all, the person who identified our enforcer hasn't been punished yet, and that concerns the reputation of our Fatui, doesn't it?"

The boy's lips curled slightly, his tone tinged with sarcasm, before he slowly withdrew his hand from Ying's shoulder.

Then, he turned to look at Navelette, a cold glint in his eyes.

Finally, the boy's gaze fell on the high platform of the defendant's dock, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

He stared intently at the haggard Marcel, as if he wanted to tear him to pieces. The boy had noticed the merchant guild owner from the very beginning of Linnie's magic performance.

He hadn't noticed Marcellus's identity at the time, but now he suddenly realized that the mastermind was right under his nose.

"Ah, then the trial shall continue."

Navelette raised her cane and tapped the ground as she spoke.

"With Marcel's statement concluded, the case is now closed. The charges against D'Artaglia are found not guilty, based on Ms. Navia's accusations."

Navelette said with a furrowed brow.

"Hey, it's okay. I was a little disappointed at first, but after watching this wonderful debate, I feel much better."

D'Artagnan waved his hand dismissively.

"Well then, before I can reconstruct the truth of this case, please hand over the evidence to the guards."

Navelette maintained his usual serious demeanor and spoke slowly and deliberately, but in reality, his inner thoughts were already beginning to show signs of weakness.

On the other side of Navelette, Funina was quietly observing all of this.

She sighed inwardly, realizing that what was happening before her eyes was far too outrageous and completely beyond her imagination and control.

But as a deity, she had to maintain a dignified image at all times and not let others see her panic.

So she continued to put on an air of complete control, sitting there gracefully, her gaze fixed firmly on everything below.

As Navigette organized the evidence.

The boy then pulled Ying aside.

"Hey, where are you taking my Ying?"

Paimon grabbed Ying's little hand and pulled it back, saying angrily.

"Paimon, stop fooling around!"

Ying slapped Paimon's hand away and said.

"Paimon, I didn't do anything to her, we just chatted."

The boy said with a smile.

Once in the corner, Ying watched the boy warily.

"What do you want from us?"

Paimon said, hands on his hips.

"It's nothing, it's just about your blood relative. I can tell you some things, and also about why he is the Prince of the Abyss."

The boy looked at Ying calmly and said.

"what!"

Upon hearing this, Ying's eyes welled up with tears, and she shook her head in disbelief.

"What do you know? You've seen him!"

Ying muttered to herself.

"Actually, the reason your blood relative joined the Abyss Cult was because he was manipulated. As for who that person is, it's still unclear, but their plan seems to be nearing completion."

The boy looked quietly at Ying and continued speaking.

"But why didn't my brother tell me these things? Didn't we agree to travel together?"

Ying asked painfully.

"Perhaps he feels that there are some things he needs to explore and discover for himself. However, in any case, the bond between you two will never change."

The boy sighed and replied.

Ying silently shed tears, her heart filled with contradictions and turmoil.

"Ying, how are you?!"

Paimon looked at Ying, who was keeping her head down and remaining silent, and asked with concern.

"No matter what, we are the same kind of people, and I have also witnessed the memories of history."

After the boy finished speaking, he returned to his seat, but he couldn't help but look back at her with a pang of heartache.

"Silence. Next, I will project the truth."

Navelette tapped the ground with her staff and spoke authoritatively.

Then two figures appeared on the stage.

"In his youth, Marcel, whose real name was Vacher, and his girlfriend Venier were adventurer partners."

During an underwater expedition, Venere accidentally came into contact with the waters of the primordial womb and dissolved in front of Vashe.

With the help of others, Vasher learned about the existence of the primordial sea of ​​fetuses and conducted experiments by kidnapping young girls in an attempt to restore Viner.

To conceal his identity as a criminal, he also used the alias Marcel and did business in Baisong Town.

Later, research revealed that the original fetal sea, when diluted with water, would become very diluted and would cause excitement when consumed. So, this research result was used as a beverage called Les, and sold to accumulate research funds for experiments. However, conflicts arose with the Rose Society during the experiments. In the long-term open and covert struggle, he decided to plot to kill Carles, the president of the Rose Society, at a banquet.

Although an accident occurred in the end, the dissolving properties successfully made Carles the murderer.

Moreover, not long ago, Vasher attempted to frame Linni using similar methods, but the plan failed. The original fetal remains were revealed, and charges were brought against him, finally revealing the truth behind the mysterious series of missing girls.

After Navisette finished speaking, the image on the stage ended.

"Then the charges against Vasher shall be left to the Proclamation Machine for final decision."

Navilette placed the testimony into the revelation machine, and azure water elements lit up, enveloping and covering the entire upper edge of the opera house until a new card appeared in Navilette's hand.

"Based on the answer given by the oracle, Vashe is found guilty."

Navigette's voice resounded throughout the opera house, and the audience applauded in response.

"It's finally over!"

Navia let out a long sigh.
