“Everything is going as expected. You’re getting a little impatient, Mr. Vasher. Now you’ve caught him red-handed, haven’t you?” Jiang Ningna said with a hint of regret, looking at Vasher who was frozen in place.
The evidence against Vasher in the "serial disappearances of girls" case, including Vasher's own confession, a fully recorded statement made while he was caught red-handed...
The gears of justice have been fully assembled, awaiting only the infusion of evergreen water to turn them back from their wrong course.
"Then, please come with me."
“I’m not discussing anything with you—you’ve been arrested.” As she said this, 'Furina' glanced at the Lone Heart Salon team. The three seafood bullies instantly understood and swarmed forward, delivering a punch to Marcellus.
While it may seem inappropriate to use force against prisoners, if the prisoners are uncooperative ordinary people, then it is merely a means of 'suppression' or 'arrest'.
Besides, I am the God of Water!
My power as the water god is limitless! (I'm certain of it)
—During this process, perhaps because the three seafood villains were not strong enough, Navia also lent a hand and helped out a bit, specifically by stomping on it a few times and letting Vashe feel her beloved little parasol.
What should we do with this?
Seeing the horribly mutilated Vashes taken away by Ying and Navia, Funina shrank back. But knowing that the other party was the murderer of the serial disappearances of girls, she had no reason to sympathize with them. However, after seeing the rainbow-colored water still stagnating in place, she nervously tugged at Jiang Qiao's sleeve—Miss Funina looked uneasy.
After learning about the primordial sea of fetuses, Funina instantly understood what the prophecy she had been searching for was all about.
Unfortunately, even after discovering the 'truth' that makes the Fontaines so soluble in water, Furina still couldn't do anything about it.
After all, she was not a water goddess with power like Fucarus.
Even more so, perhaps even Fucarus might not be able to solve this problem?
Even now, she still doesn't know where the real water god went or what he's doing.
Normally, the revelation of the primordial waters of the womb would only have made Funina even more terrified.
Even if an ordinary person knows these things, they can only struggle painfully, immersed in pain, and place their hopes on the only possibility.
That is to wait for Fucarus to fulfill her promise—a promise that seems to have no end.
However, everything changed after Jiang Qiao arrived.
Now she has more options and more people to look forward to.
Of course, Funina also knew that it was really embarrassing and selfish to have expectations of someone, especially someone she had only known for a short time.
But besides that, it seems... I really have no other options.
Sensing Funina's conflicted and pained mood, the blue-and-white-haired girl chuckled and patted her head, though she had to tiptoe slightly because of her height.
"Hey Xiu~ Okay, okay, leave it to me~"
The reassuring, clear voice of the young girl was like a spring, soothing Fu Ningna's anxious heart. 'Jiang Ningna' looked at the primordial sea of fetal water that was still in place, and seemed to have thought of something, nodding to herself.
The next moment, her fair fingers curled slightly, and a faint azure light began to spread.
The Primordial Ocean is the origin of life on this planet; almost all life originates from it.
And it represents the most fundamental power of the Teyvat world.
To control such a thing, elemental power alone is not enough, unless one is like Ergolia, who is the heart of the primordial womb and has control over the womb water, or one uses the most primordial ancient dragon power.
But for Jiang Qiao, this was not a problem.
Even though the body of [Furina] can only draw upon monotonous elemental power, as long as one mixes their own will into this power, they can still obtain effects comparable to those of Hundred Radiances and Abyss.
"receive."
Gently lifting the top hat she had taken from Funina, the blue-and-white girl murmured softly, and the restless primordial waters of the womb obediently rushed into the brim of the hat like docile lambs—only stopping when the spring was almost dry.
"You..." Funina was stunned. She hadn't expected Jiang Qiao to actually do it! What made her eyes widen even more was that she was just an ordinary person, yet Jiang Qiao had managed to pull off such a feat using her body, and that...
With concerned gazes fixed on the brim of her hat, Funina swallowed hard.
She was certain that her hat was just an ordinary top hat, so why could it hold so much primordial seawater?
"Hmm, are you curious?" The girl, who had been gracefully placing her hat on her head, smiled knowingly, as she sensed Funina's thoughts.
"...Hmm, a little."
"It's just a simple little trick, nothing to worry about."
"The ascetics in Liyue have the technology to fold space."
Funina seemed to understand but not quite—although Fontaine was not lacking in magical elements, it was clear that Fontaine, which was mainly based on steam, was not in the same style as the other countries, no matter how mysterious the law of energy it used was.
As for Funina, a mere mortal, she was even more amazed—"Aba aba, so impressive!"
"Is that all?" Funina looked at the shallow, primordial fetal sea spring, somewhat dazed.
Is Fontaine's prophecy so easily dispelled?
"of course not."
“This is just a spring. There are many places like this in Fontainebleau, though not many.” As she said this, the blue-and-white-haired girl casually tossed the primordial ore she had received from Virgil into the spring that was slowly filling up.
"boom--"
A faint light emanated, then formed a Celtic triangle, creating a seal.
"Betting on this might alleviate the situation slightly, but once it breaks out in other areas, prices will rise as they always have."
"Besides, this thing can't block things for too long."
She clapped her hands, her tone flat.
Compared to the metal valves in the material layer, the energy layer has a much harder time suppressing the primordial seawater. The continuous injection of power will soon break free from the seal's constraints—because the seawater's position is above elemental power.
"!!!"
"Don't worry too much. Although it looks troublesome, it's not that difficult to handle." Seeing Funina's panic, he casually reassured her.
At least in Jiang Qiao's view, compared to Fontaine's philosophy and administrative problems, the most attention-grabbing and worrying prophecy was not so troublesome.
Everything will be resolved as long as the power of the ancient dragon is returned to Navelette.
But in reality, even without doing so, Jiang Qiao had her own way of solving this problem.
—The power of creation and decay.
This authority, acquired from Miss Wendy, possesses the power to alter the blueprint of life.
For Jiang Qiao, who possesses this authority, transcribing the form of life from one form to another is merely a matter that can be accomplished with a little effort.
"Okay, let's go."
Having gathered the evidence, there's no point in staying here any longer.
Navia and the others have already taken the evidence and Vashe to the opera house, and as the goddess of justice, [Frinna] should obviously not be absent from such a grand spectacle.
What's more, Jiang Qiao had prepared a surprise for Vasher.
Traveling by railboat to the island of Irie, there was no doubt that the Opiclie Opera House was deserted due to the serial disappearances of young girls.
"Hey, did you guys hear? I heard it's another case of a series of missing girls, and they supposedly caught the real culprit."
"Come on, when did they say they caught the real culprit? I bet this is another fake one."
"Whether it's true or not doesn't matter, I just hope to have some fun. I didn't enjoy the last one at all, so I hope to get my money's worth this time."
The audience members chattered sparsely, while 'Jiang Ningna' calmly led Fu Ningna through the passageway to the throne belonging to the water god.
"Hey, don't you guys think Lady Funina looks especially stylish today?"
"I didn't notice. Wasn't it always like this?"
"You're talking nonsense. Was Lady Funina like this before?"
"Hey, do you think you understand Lady Funina as well as I do with my short temper? I watch every single trial with Lady Funina on my watch!"
"You cloud!"
"You're the one who's Yun!"
Undoubtedly, the topic of the debate successfully made Funina, who was standing next to him, blush.
Fortunately, the appearance of Navelette soon ended the uproar.
"quiet."
The cane struck the ground, making a crisp sound.
The force was so great that one wondered if it might have smashed through the floor.
"The police force has new evidence regarding the previous series of missing girls."
"The real culprit in the serial disappearances of girls is not the previously mentioned Ms. Ying, but..."
"The president of the Gabriel Chamber of Commerce—Marcelle!"
All eyes turned to the defendant's dock, where Marcel stood, handcuffed and bruised.
"Huh? How could it be this person? I heard that President Marcell is a pretty good person and has helped a lot of people."
"There must be a mistake, right?"
"You can know a person's face but not their heart; who can truly know?"
"Seriously, this looks terrible. The person's whole body is swollen from being beaten. Could this be an abuse of power?"
"Dong dong."
