Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Chapter 941 A Lonely Journey

A group of people found Chiara admiring the flowers in the park.

The pale pink-furred Melushin looked up and revealed a soft smile.

"It's Lady Vilette! And you are... Oh, I remember now! It's Sister Su, Brother Kong, and Sister Paimon, I've heard of you!"

Su hugged the soft and sweet Chiara tightly, "How dare someone try to hurt such a cute little darling! I'll tear him to pieces!"

Paimon also thought Chiara was super cute, and more importantly, "She called me 'older sister'!"

Chiara's voice was sweet, and her eyes were full of adoration for them!

Paimon immediately felt a sense of responsibility and protectiveness as the older sister.

Paimon: "Don't worry, Chiara! Your sisters will definitely protect you!"

Chiara, who was being hugged by Su, said, "Thank you, sisters, but I'm perfectly safe and don't need any protection."

Kong: "Naviette said you received a threatening letter. Can we see that letter?"

“A threatening letter…” Chiara thought for a moment, then took out a letter. “Is this it?”

"I thought the person who wrote the letter wanted to play with me, and I waited for him to come to me for a long time."

“But Sister Sedna, Lady Navelette, and my brothers and sisters all say so…” Chiara lowered her head in disappointment, “It seems the person who wrote the letter really doesn’t want to be friends with me.”

Kong opened the letter that Chiara had kept so well. The letter was written in a furious handwriting: "Get out of Shadow Chaser's Court, or I will capture you. Don't blame me for being ruthless then!"

Su was once again shocked by Melusin's naiveté. "This is a completely and utterly threatening letter! And it's so arrogant!"

Paimon: "Yeah, how can this be interpreted as a letter asking to make friends?"

"Is that so?" Chiara scratched her head. "Sorry, my brain works a little slowly. But Sister Carole praised me for having a keen sense of things, and that I have a high success rate in solving cases!"

Violet's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she explained to Chiara, "...Melushen's eyes are special; she can see things that others cannot."

Chiara proudly stated, "For example, bloodstains—no matter how you clean them, you can still see traces for a while. Isn't that amazing?"

Sue, along with Paimon, clapped enthusiastically for Chiara.

After the applause subsided, Navelette continued, "Before the invention of luminol, most serious assault cases were handled by Melusin and others who were responsible for analyzing clues."

The deeper the speculation goes, the more likely criminals and their close associates are to harbor hatred towards police officers.

Navelette's next words confirmed his guess.

"Chiara suffered severe injuries to her antennae and head during a capture operation a long time ago, which led to her being relegated to a secondary role."

That's why Chiara is now in such a somewhat slow-witted and overly naive state.

“Waaah…” Paimon looked sad.

Sue also gently rubbed Chiara's hand with a pained expression.

Chiara smiled and said, "All that pain is gone now, and I'm happy every day."

Navelette gently advised Chiara to go home and not to go out alone for the time being.

Sue: "Does Chiara live alone? Is it safe for her to be home alone?"

“How about we buy her neighbor’s house! Then we can stake it out and wait for that guy to show up…” Su pressed his knuckles with a gloomy expression.

Navelette advised Sue not to do so, saying, "After learning of the threatening letter, I arranged for the security forces and special patrols to increase patrols on this street."

Paimon: "If that guy actually shows up, things will be completely resolved!"

However, things are unlikely to develop so easily and smoothly, Kong said, expressing his judgment.

Based on the information he extracted from the threatening letter, he had a general direction for his investigation.

Kong: "I think the person who wrote the threatening letter is someone with limited education and who has been in a closed-off state for a long time."

"Judging from Fontaine's recent situation, he is most likely a prisoner who was recently released from prison or escaped during the chaos."

Because of his prediction of the crisis, Leosley made an exception and let a large number of people whose crimes were relatively less serious go free.

Later, when Fontaine was flooded, the entire staff of Mello Petersburg mobilized, with jailers and serious criminals boarding large ships for an emergency rescue.

With these two incidents combined, a considerable number of prisoners did indeed take the opportunity to escape, making the scope of the investigation quite extensive.

Navelette pondered.

Su: "Kong is really good at investigating cases! He even studied in the Sumeru Discipline Department."

Sora is the brains of their traveler team! She's not only good at going to jail, but also at solving cases!

“I’m sorry, it’s not that I don’t believe in Kong’s judgment,” Navelette said earnestly after her apology. “It’s just that I suspect there’s someone else manipulating things behind the sender.”

"There's a mastermind behind the mastermind? The case is getting more and more complicated," Paimon said, putting on his detective glasses. "But Detective Paimon is not afraid of any challenge!"

Sue was used to the tasks getting longer and longer. "But why would Violet think that way?"

And the way Violet looked so alarmed really suggested she was under stress. Could it be...?

Sue glanced at Navelette, then hesitated before looking at Kong and Paimon.

Should I ask? I feel like I'll be reopening a wound...

"I'm not hiding my thoughts from you, it's just that when I think back to the past, it's inevitable that I need some time to sort out my thoughts."

Navelette caught the falling raindrops. "The story of the past probably begins when I came to Fontaine."

Navilette said he would come to Fontaine to serve as Supreme Judge not only because of Fucarus's invitation, but also because he wanted to understand himself.

"It is clearly a dragon, yet it was born in human form. Although born in human form, it is fundamentally different from humans..."

“Navelette…” Su couldn’t help but take Navelette’s hand.

She understood this feeling of loneliness and lack of belonging, as if floating in mid-air, unable to find a goal or direction.

"The way to get rid of loneliness is not to hide in your room and sleep all day, nor is it to bury yourself in boring work all the time. You need to make more friends and go out more."

“This is what Kong and Paimon guided me to do,” Su said, speaking from experience. “I think it’s excellent!”

Actually, she had been guiding Funina in the same way recently, but she didn't expect that the mature and reliable Navelette would also use this tactic.

Navelette stared blankly into the girl's sincere eyes, then at their clasped hands.

But the next moment, Sula took his and Paimon's hands and shook hands with Navelette.

"A journey can be fast when you're alone, but a journey is much more enjoyable when you're with someone!"

"In short, it's okay if you can't find your place in the world right now! Because we are all your friends, and we are each other's anchors!"

Navelette rarely let out a smile, "Actually, the confusion in my heart has dissipated quite a bit recently."

"Perhaps it's because those secrets that have been hidden in my heart have finally found a way to be spoken out without any reservations."

Kong showed an understanding expression.

At first glance, Fontainebleau seems cheerful and lively, but in reality, everyone harbors secrets, and the distance between hearts is always far.

Not only Funina, but also Navelette, walked alone for five hundred years, filled with confusion about herself and carrying secrets.
