Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

Zhongli noticed the actions of those around him, but he made no comment.

The people of Liyue were not only grateful to him after Lin Qiu wrote the book; it was perfectly normal for them to encounter such a situation after their identities were exposed.

Zhongli felt more helpless about the book's content; in the future, he would have to seal away his old friend again, even though he had expected it...

At the end of the story, the traveler asked Zhongli about his brother.

Because she had met Dain before, learned some new information, and had some new doubts about Canria.

Zhong Li: "...I can't say."

"I'm sorry, this is my contract."

"This contract was established before everything began, and as a bound by it, I must remain silent."

The contract here is an 'employment contract' signed between Zhongli and Tianli, so he cannot disclose relevant information.

This not only failed to resolve the readers' doubts, but also created another: who exactly did the Rock King Emperor sign with, and what kind of contract did he sign?

Zhongli changed the subject, saying, "There are many stories and secrets on this continent..."

"They have endured too long, forgotten, or abandoned."

"If it were you, you should be able to find and pick them up."

"Witnesses come to witness; chroniclers are born to remember."

'Ancient Tales: Act Two: The Bandit Stone - The End'

At the end of the story, Lin Qiu also wrote some words for Zhong Li.

This passage tells the reader that the stone tablet under the big tree was erected by the True Lord of Water and Mountain Management, also known as Crane No. 2.

Referring to Ruoda as an evil dragon is also a reminder to future generations to stay away from this place and not approach the seal.

After that, Zhongli remained silent, gazing at the stone tablet.

Originally, the witnesses and reporters were travelers, but now, because of Lin Qiu's involvement, the whole world has become reporters.

Today, reading Lin Qiu's books has become a habit for people, and these stories are all recorded in people's memories.

Let more people know the truth of the story, and whether they are moved or angry, whatever their emotions, that is the charm of 'memory'.

I'm afraid that one day Lin Qiu will write about the story before the 'Eternal Age', such as the events before the sun and moon, which would be pretty much the same as when he exploded with Teyvat and his memories were destroyed.

“The records of extraterrestrials, the ‘memories’ etched within them are more enduring than ore, truly remarkable.”

Chapter 202 Deep Sea Girl

Having finished telling the story of Zhongli's second act, let's talk about Fontaine's side. The day after this book was published was the opening day of 'Fashion Week'.

This fashion week was much more popular than in previous years because of Funina's participation; probably half of the attendees came specifically for Funina.

Funina has announced that she will perform after the fashion show, and Ms. Funina's recent performances are quite rare! How can you miss it!

There were too many people, and the original venue was not big enough, so the Opikley Opera House became the final venue, which happened to be a day when there were no cases to be tried.

Then they witnessed what the world of anime and manga was all about. Lin Qiu's appearance turned the Fontaine Fashion Week into a cosplay convention.

However, the people of Fontainebleau are unaware of the real-life inspirations for these characters; in their view, this is not cosplay, but rather fashion.

Just as Lin Qiu had thought, he wasn't the most eye-catching 'designer' at Fashion Week.

But none of that matters, because Lin Qiu hasn't unleashed his ultimate move yet.

After the clothing display ended, the crowd whispered among themselves.

"Wasn't it said that Lady Funina would be attending? Why haven't we seen her?" someone asked curiously.

“Yes, and what about Ms. Funina?” another lady chimed in.

"Yeah, where are they?" Wendy blended in.

Just as everyone was wondering, the lights on stage dimmed, and a 'pool' appeared on the stage, forming the 'Water Cube'.

Lin Qiu expressed his gratitude to Lin Ni and Linette for providing the stage design idea.

The 'pool' was Mona's doing, while Lin Qiu used his magic and Farusan's wind elemental power to assist him. Lin Qiu used both elemental power and magic at the same time.

Dressed in divine attire, Funinna appeared from the sky, then fell into the water, startling everyone.

This water is made of Mona's elemental power, not real seawater. Mona can control it perfectly, so Funina can speak even in the water.

At this moment, Gui Zhong took out her magical prop and played a simple accompaniment, which was the tapping sound of the prelude to drowning.

With each strike, Funina sank deeper and deeper until she reached the bottom of the sea.

Funina curled up in the 'seabed', her eyes closed, and the prelude to drowning disappeared.

Just then, a new melody began to play, and Funina began to sing—it was Hatsune Miku's Deep Sea Girl.

Sinking into an ocean of sorrow, I don't even want to open my eyes.

Will it fall to some unknown place, where no one can find it?

A light shone on Funina in the stadium, and she slowly opened her heterochromatic, sea-blue eyes.

A beam of light suddenly shone in, and it seemed as if you could reach out and touch it.

Funina raised her hand and made a grasping motion towards the light shining on the 'sea', just like the 'hope' she had seen for centuries.

Funina's posture remained unchanged, but under Lin Qiu's control, she slowly rose, as if drawn and redeemed by the light.

What exactly is it? It's both warm and dazzling.

Unconscious fleeting glimpses

Who is lying?

Funina was truly immersed in the moment. She stopped curling up and instead stood up and swam towards the light. Her clothes made her move like a mermaid in the water.

The dazzling light illuminated everything, and the 'deep sea' lost its mystery. After the darkness was dispelled, the true self was revealed. The one who was lying... wasn't it me?

As she was thinking this, the light suddenly disappeared, and Funina's swimming figure froze, losing her way once again, just like the 'hope shattered' that has been seen for centuries.

Darkness enveloped her, and 'truth' was hidden by the darkness.

Funina closed her ocean-like pupils, and the tears at the corners of her eyes blended into the water unnoticed, like a slowly falling 'shooting star', slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea.

[Deep Sea Girl, Continuing to Sink]

Let the darkness beyond isolate itself.

Indeed, this has been the case for hundreds of years: a continuous decline, emotional breakdown, and self-isolation.

Just like the lyrics say, in a place without day or night, every long night is so hard to endure.

The 'seabed' was indeed the only place where she could feel 'safe'; her small room was her 'seabed'.

When Funina recalled herself back then, sitting on the bed with her head down, what expression did she have?

Funina didn't understand, because only at this moment could she stop hiding her breakdown and stop keeping a tense expression.

How I wished there was someone who could see through my lies.

[And then the light descends once more.]

Their eyes met when they were engrossed in watching.

[To you who noticed and turned to look here]

Me, the one who lied...

The light shone again, and Funina opened her eyes, but this time she did not chase the light. Instead, she lay calmly in the sea with a smile on her face and continued to sink.

[Deep-sea girl, letting herself sink]

Will this light, like before, disappear again?

Instead of doing this, just leave me alone!

The unspoken emotions welled up and melted away.

Will I experience again the process of my heart overflowing with unspeakable emotions, and then dissolving those emotions so that I can no longer perceive them?

The next moment, you suddenly vanished without a trace.

As expected, it was the same as before—a light that appeared suddenly but disappeared quickly.

[Boundary Girl, Extend That Hand]

This time it wasn't just light, but an arm stretched out in front of Funina, as if to pull her up.

Funina stared at the arm, her eyes filled with anticipation. Her fingers twitched involuntarily, wanting to reach out and grab it, but she didn't move; she restrained herself.

In the end, she chose to shut herself off and dared not actively pursue the 'light'.

You don't want to chase after me anymore? No problem, this time I'll take the initiative to pull you up!

Look! You also have beautiful colors hidden within you!

At this moment, Lin Qiu snapped his fingers and used his most proficient technique, colorful bubbles, which made the dark 'seabed' colorful under the light.

[Deep-sea girl, her wrist grabbed]

On stage, Ying grabbed Funina's arm and pulled her up.

Escape this sea!

That's right, the person responsible for pulling up Fu Ningna wasn't Lin Qiu. Although in reality it should have been him, the lyrics were about 'young girl,' so Ying was chosen instead.

Paimon followed Lin Qiu during this period because Yingmei was being singled out by Funina during rehearsals.

The audience applauded. Although they couldn't understand the song and Funina's deeper meaning, their stage performance and Funina's singing skills deserved applause.

Funin wiped the 'water' off her face. Even though the water hadn't gotten close to her body under Mona's control, her face still had 'water stains' on it.

"Qiu, how did I sing?" Fu Ningna looked at Lin Qiu, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter.

Lin Qiu smiled gently, and with a wave of his hand, a rainbow appeared in front of Funina, with the words 'You did very well, Funina' written on it.

Just like when they first officially met.

Character Voice Acting - Traveler: About 'Deep Sea Girl'

Traveler: "That's great! Will Lin Qiu write one for me too?"

Paimon: "Huh? Travelers probably don't need that."

Traveler: "Why?"

Paimon: "Because I'm here!"

"I'll be there to hold you back! I won't let you sink to the bottom of the sea!"

"The sea is dark and scary, I don't want you to experience it."

Chapter 203 Break the darkness with thunder!

As Funina looked at the word "water" on the rainbow, she recalled the past, and the tears she had been holding back threatened to burst forth again.

But when she looked at Lin Qiu and noticed the JOJO lines on his face, she burst into laughter through her tears, "Pfft, so silly!"

The previous low mood had disappeared with the company of Lin Qiu and others.

"Lin Qiu, why don't you praise me!" Ying waved.

Her voice wasn't loud, and since the curtain had already been drawn, the audience in the front had no idea what was happening backstage.

Yingmei said: Although I only appeared briefly during the process and was only responsible for pulling Funinga, this was my first performance and my debut!

I was so nervous during the performance that my lips twitched and my hands were shaking. How could you not encourage me!

"Ying is great too!" Lin Qiu naturally didn't hold back his praise.
