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

However, in reality, the people of Fontainebleau had long since demystified her and treated her as a mascot, so why would they treat her differently because of this?

So when the people of Fontaine saw Furna's inner reaction, they didn't find it 'out of character' at all; on the contrary, they found it incredibly cute!!!

I must buy Water God merchandise right now!

What a contrast! Water God! We will love you forever!

Even Arecino found this water goddess quite adorable. Having grown up navigating life-threatening dangers, she genuinely liked this kind of 'little animal' that made people feel no danger.

Unfortunately, she gave off a very dangerous vibe, especially the way she looked at people; even without hostility, it sent shivers down your spine.

Everyone thought Funina was cute, but she herself thought she was dead.

But 'self-esteem' is something that is self-defined, so when she feels that she has died, then she has successfully died.

Her pretty face was flushed red to her ears, and she kept glancing at Lin Qiu. If you didn't know better, you would think it was just a young girl's innocent shyness.

Ichidou didn't care about Funina. After learning Linni's identity, he stared at Linni with wide eyes.

"My good brother, why didn't you tell me?" Ito asked in disbelief.

“You didn’t ask either,” Linni said with a wry smile.

As a spy, he would not usually reveal his identity, but when he appeared in the prophecy, Linni knew he couldn't hide it anymore. So if Ichidou asked, he would tell him, but Ichidou never asked.

Yi Dou scratched his head, and it seemed to be true.

Although Linni was a member of the Fools, Ichito still trusted his own judgment, so he continued watching the story, wanting to know the truth.

Navelette concluded, “Mr. Linnie, I would like to reiterate the two points raised by Ms. Funina—”

["When you heard the muffled sound at the opera house, you were not inside the box and the tunnel, and you and Ms. Lynette were both members of the 'House of Hearths.' Is this true?"]

Character Voice - Fryna: Regarding her inner thoughts

"It's been exposed! It's been exposed!! How could they expose a young girl's inner thoughts like this!! Qiuqiu!!"

Chapter 877 Linni's True Purpose

Linni admitted that both things Funina said were true.

He was indeed a member of the Fools, and he wasn't in the tunnel or the box during that final minute.

Hearing this, Funina on the other side proudly puffed out her chest. "I'm so awesome!"

The traveler was upset because, as the defendant's defense lawyer, the defendant hadn't told him the truth—this was extremely alarming!

Fortunately, the traveler was of high moral character and did not immediately betray them.

Let's stick to the facts. We'll talk about Linni lying to herself later. Let's solve this case first.

After Linni admitted to these two points, the verdict once again tilted towards 'guilty', and even the Fontaines watching the trial commented:

"Is this where we can deliver the verdict? Hahaha."

Although people generally have little affection for the Fools, the Fontainebleau people's loud laughter is somewhat 'frightening'.

This is a trial, a trial where someone has died and another's fate is to be decided, but to these Fontaines, it's nothing more than a wonderful drama.

In their eyes, there was absolutely no reverence for life or the law.

A kingdom governed by law that lacks reverence for the law... this is even more laughable than the saying 'wisdom is the enemy of the god of wisdom'.

The traveler, of course, wouldn't let the trial end there; she requested a recess so she could communicate with the defendant again.

Violet naturally wouldn't refuse such a reasonable request, but the Fontaines, as spectators, were not satisfied. They felt that since the result was about to be announced, why waste time?

[On the contrary, Furina spoke up for the Traveler: "My dearest viewers, let the joy of victory settle down a little longer, hahaha."]

After she said that, the people of Fontainebleau began to think, "That makes sense! The Water God really knows how to appreciate theater! We'll listen to the Water God!"

Well, although they treat Funina as a 'mascot,' the people of Fontainebleau still tend to trust her very much.

The people of Fontaine's affection for Furna subconsciously justifies her behavior.

After the court adjourned, the camera focused on the travelers, and it was unclear what Funina had done during the adjournment.

On the Traveler's side, Linnie apologized first: "I'm sorry, Traveler, Paimon."

Paimon responded, "I don't even know where to begin asking! We trusted you so much!"

"I don't want to say anything harsh, but I'm really angry!"

Paimon was too gentle; her only sign of anger was taking off her ridiculous glasses, putting her hands on her hips, and turning her head away.

Although her reaction wasn't intense, everyone knows Paimon well; the fact that she stopped wearing her glasses meant she was no longer in the mood to joke around, clearly indicating she was genuinely angry.

Linni continued, "I'm so sorry, I know you're all angry, but I still want to explain my actions."

Linni meant that if travelers knew their identities from the beginning, their contact would become extremely difficult.

The Fools are a relatively loose organization, with each executive having a different style of doing things, unlike the Fools the Traveler encountered earlier.

Linni stated that he wanted to save the country and save as many people as possible, and did not want to be at odds with travelers.

Therefore, he planned to first establish a relationship of trust and wanted to be friends with the travelers, not enemies.

The traveler seemed somewhat skeptical of this explanation, after all, she had just been deceived.

Rather than whether they could become friends, the traveler was more concerned with the truth of the case, so she asked Linnie what she had been doing during the magic show.

This time, Linni did not hide anything. He told the traveler that the core purpose of this 'exchange magic' was to get closer to the core of the Cardinal of Judgment.

That's right, it's that vent that allows people to access the room where the core is located.

Furina was slightly surprised. The Fools' intelligence was already aiming to reach the core of the Cardinals of Decree and Judgment?

You must understand that the Cardinals of Decree and Judgment provide energy to the entire Fontaine; they are the lifeblood of Fontaine.

Linni stated that he did this to deal with the "prophecy crisis," believing that only by understanding the country's secrets could he devise a way to save everyone.

This statement is questionable. Linni may have genuinely wanted to save the country, but the reasons behind investigating state secrets are hard to say.

After all, the reputation of the Fools is well-established. How could you investigate other countries' secrets without personal motives? The Six Kingdoms Theory: I don't believe it.

However, the people of Fontaine were not particularly concerned with his reasons; they were simply curious about what the interior of the Cardinal Council of Decree and Judgment was like. Could the Heart of God be located there?

Although this matter is serious, they still have a spectator mentality.

Unfortunately, Linni didn't have time to investigate, because he heard a voice in that room that he recognized, even though the room was empty except for him!

Funina frowned. That voice... could it be the same person she had heard?

Right now, at the Opéra Garnier Opera House, Furnessa's gaze fell upon the Judgment Machine, her mind racing.

Curiosity, hope, and the urge to confide all surged within her, and finally, Funina relaxed her brow and smiled.

Don't overthink it. As long as I play the role of the god Fontaine well, I will be saved.

The people of Fontainebleau were shocked. Wow, there are ghost stories too! And then what? And then what?

Out of caution, Linni left the room without investigating further and returned to the tunnel.

In the tunnel, he saw a broken vase and clothes on the ground, and Linni's brain went blank for a moment.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much time for the magic trick, and he didn't have time to think about it in detail, so he could only finish the magic trick first.

Some might wonder why the investigation wasn't conducted when setting up the magic props?

The reason is simple: it's impossible to carry out construction in such a setting without supervision.

A failed art student once nearly got bombed while giving a speech at a beer hall. It's impossible for a place like an opera house, where phoenixes, navigators, and the general public gather, to be unsupervised.

So the sixty seconds of magic tricks were actually a rare opportunity for Linni to act freely without supervision, but unfortunately he didn't find out anything.

It is clear from Linni's words that he was indeed unaware of the accident.

He was there to do things discreetly, and if he could, he wouldn't want to add this kind of incident that would attract the attention of the security team to his magic show.

That makes sense. In this way, Linni really has no reason to commit the crime, and the traveler is willing to continue to defend Linni because she wants to know the truth of the matter.

Tonight, either Funina or I are definitely going to have trouble sleeping! Let's go! Let's go back and confront her head-on!

Character Voice Line - Linnie: Regarding the True Purpose

"Even this has been exposed?... Sigh, what kind of agreement did Father reach with the prophet?"

Chapter 878 The Ups and Downs of an Old Artist's Confidence

Upon returning to the 'Courtroom', Funina immediately began her attack.

[Furina said, "It wasn't for nothing that I waited so long. Come on, everyone, please listen carefully."]

Next, the Ultimate Water Goddess will begin her 'deductive' testimony, reconstructing the truth of the incident from Linnie's perspective.

Frynn's turn: First, while the audience counts down, Linnie enters the tunnel and fights with Helsey (the missing girl) with a muffled sound.

Finally, Linni knocked Helsey unconscious with a vase and removed her outer garment.

At this moment, Cowell (the deceased) heard the commotion and came to check the tunnel, but was knocked unconscious by Linni and put into a box. Finally, Linni operated the mechanism to kill Cowell.

This section is presented as an illustrated PowerPoint presentation, and the style is quite attractive. Each illustration is pieced together like bullets from a revolver to form a complete chain of events.

The illustration of Lin Ni is practically a god of war, like One-Punch Man, who can take down everyone with a single punch.

[Furina, hands on hips, proudly declares: "That's the whole story."]

The people of Fontaineble applauded, "That makes sense! No wonder he's the Water God!"

If this isn't a mistake, then it's the perfect deduction. But don't be discouraged, Water God! You'll succeed next time!

Because of a lack of information, Funina's reasoning was flawed, which was something the Fontaines could not help.

Furthermore, there is a major flaw in Funina's reasoning: who was the device at the scene intended to kill?

According to Fryna's deduction, Cowell broke in by accident, and Helsey was taken down by Linnie. So what was the purpose of setting up so many traps?

If the goal was to kill Helsey, why pull her out of the wooden crate? Isn't that contradictory?

So now it's the Traveler's turn: This is utter bullshit!

"Detective Paimon has something to say!" Paimon declared.

Paimon spoke her mind, or rather, she articulated the traveler's reasoning.

Paimon's voice, though deliberately mature, was undeniably endearing. The audience was truly fortunate to witness this trial pitting two such adorable characters against each other; no wonder the people of Fontainebleau love watching trials.

It's still a PowerPoint illustration, but this time Linni didn't become One-Punch Man. Instead, he went into the ventilation duct and came out only to find water and clothes. He didn't encounter anyone else.

The Traveler's deduction hinges on the fact that Linni was unaware of everything that happened, since Linni had gone to the core room of the Judgment Machine.

Yan Fei scratched her head. That way, she could indeed escape the crime of murder, but it seemed to turn into the crime of espionage?

Forget it, whatever. Anyway, the espionage case is a separate case and it's not the Traveler's business. As long as Yingmei wins this case, she'll be a lawyer with a 100% chance of winning.

Both current inferences lack evidence and are merely logical chain reasoning.

The Traveler's reasoning is indeed more reasonable, at least not as flawed as that of Mauri Furina.

The scales also tipped slightly in favor of the traveler, bringing both sides back to a tie.

This balance actually reflects the audience's current inclination more than anything else, so it doesn't need any evidence; it will lean towards whoever makes the most sense.

Having discussed reasoning, the next step is to talk about evidence. How do we corroborate our inferences?

The traveler's evidence was the 'strange noise,' which Linni didn't hear because he wasn't in the tunnel or the box, thus becoming his alibi.

Yan Fei frowned. This evidence is somewhat subjective. Will it hold up?

Whether such evidence can stand often depends on whether the 'prosecutor' and 'judge' agree with it.

Can it work? The answer is yes, because Furina had previously used this 'strange noise' to prove that Linni was hiding something, so now she can't refute it.

The boomerang that was meant to attack the opponent ended up hitting itself!

Yan Fei was relieved; the victory wasn't due to her own skill, but rather the opponent's poor performance.
