Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Chapter 938 Mosso's Fantasy

“What’s there to hesitate about?” Sue said decisively, “Of course we’ll go to other countries instead of Zhidong.”

“Mameh has never traveled far from home. How could she go on a trip and immediately attempt something so difficult? What if she gets injured!”

Seymour: "I assure you, Miss Sue, I will protect Miss Mameh's safety with my life."

Sue: "You now have three beings you're willing to protect with your life! Get out of here."

Moreover, Alan's program definitely prioritizes protecting Marian!

Unable to refute, Seymour tucked his tail between his legs and squatted to the side.

Marian glanced helplessly at her silly dog.

There was nothing she could do; she didn't dare to anger Miss Su.

Miss Su had wanted to beat her up before, but now that the blond boy isn't here, there's no one to stop him in time. What if she really gets beaten up?

She might get beaten up, but Seymour will definitely come to her defense, and then the two of them will both get beaten up for nothing!

Fulina added to Su's dictatorial remarks, saying, "Actually, what Su said makes a lot of sense."

"The situation at the end of winter is not very clear. For your first long trip, it would be better to start with countries like Liyue and Mondstadt, which have good public security and a great atmosphere."

"Regarding your distant relative, rushing to visit her might backfire. It would be better to contact her by letter first, find out her attitude, and then discuss other matters."

Marian nodded in agreement. "Thank you for your suggestion. We will consider it carefully."

Paimon tried to smooth things over, saying, "We came here to deliver food. Where are Mameh and Ann?"

“Them…” Marian looked in one direction.

——*——*——

The three girls successfully found Mameh and Ann, who were crouching in the corner.

Sue: "Mameh, what are you doing here? Time to eat!"

"Shh—" Mameh exclaimed in surprise at the girls' appearance, and quickly pulled them away to hide.

After confirming that the figure sitting by the river in a daze hadn't noticed them, An quietly explained the situation.

The dejected Melissa, whose real name is Torosa, is an agent who enjoys investigating unsolved cases.

Agent Torosa also has a retired clockwork assistant who has always been by her side, named Curve.

"But Curve... sacrificed himself to protect Torosa, and Torosa has been depressed ever since."

Mameh, who loves Seymour very much and considers her family, can understand Torosa's feelings very well.

Mameh wanted to comfort Torosa, but felt tongue-tied and didn't know what to say.

Ann patted her fins. "Anyway, we can't let her wallow in her bad mood alone."

Just as the "princess" sealed herself in the tower of her resting place, this is not a good thing.

Paimon: "Poor Torosa..."

Funina nodded silently, but couldn't think of anything particularly good to say to comfort Torosa.

Su looked at her friends who were squatting in a row looking worried, and simply walked over to Troisa's side.

Su: "Hello, would you like some Fish Singing Pie?"

“You are…” Torosa looked up at the girl, “Ah, I remember now, you are the friend of Melsin whom Celine informed me before.”

Su: "Huh? There really is such a title?"

No wonder Melusin seemed particularly enthusiastic towards their traveler group; she had thought it was just their nature.

“Hmm,” Torosa nodded, glancing at Fryna, who had sprouted a cowlick not far away, “I also know that you are Ms. Fryna’s lover.”

"Wow!" Funina jumped out, trying to clarify, "That's just what the reporters are guessing, we're not like that!"

At least, at least not yet...

“Alright,” Torosa corrected listlessly, “They are friends of Melusin and Ms. Funina.”

Now that everyone has been discovered, there's no need to hide anymore.

A group of people sat around Torosa, racking their brains for ways to comfort her.

Torosa took the fish-shaped singing pie from Sue. "Thank you for the pie. It's cold. Let me heat it up."

As a professional agent of the Shadow Court, she had long since discovered that Mameh and Ann had been following her, trying to comfort her.

A few days ago, she just wanted to be alone, so she pretended not to have noticed anything.

But now even Lady Furina and Melusin's friends have been alarmed...

Trosa sighed inwardly and began to tell her story about herself and the curve.

Mei Luxin, a "detective" who often gets all the reasoning wrong but all the conclusions right, almost got fired by the Shadow Court.

And an old, wind-up mechanism that was almost destroyed after being involved in a major social event.

"The clockwork mechanism that was almost destroyed because of a social incident," Fryna vaguely remembered something, "Could it be... the Mosso Lie Incident?"

Su: "What is that?"

“Here’s what happened…” Funina explained to Sue and Paimon.

Dr. Mosseau Lambroseau is a top scientist at the Fontainebleau Academy of Sciences.

His masterpiece is a clockwork mechanism that can accurately detect lies by detecting minute changes in physiological data.

“It’s the curve,” Torosa added.

Funina continued to recount what she knew.

Dr. Mosso's research encountered a bottleneck. Unable to provide more data for lie detection machine learning, he turned his attention to public opinion.

He used the newspaper to spread a lot of true and false reports, manipulated public opinion, and guided the emotions and conflicts of the people.

However, because they underestimated the destructive power of public opinion, they failed to control the situation and were jointly sent to trial.

Dr. Mosso, who ultimately violated the public order law, was found guilty and died in a duel while defending himself.

Furina couldn't understand why a promising and talented researcher would do those things, but she had some vague guesses—

"It's probably for his research. There have been far too many instances of researchers crossing the line for their dreams."

Torosa confirmed Fryna's guess.

“I’ve been with Curve for a long time. Occasionally, his core will successfully connect with the right line and he will remember something. I gradually pieced together the situation.”

"It is said that several hundred years ago, there was a scientist in Fontaine named Alain Giordano who created a very powerful thinking machine. Dr. Mosso seems to want to surpass that."

Upon suddenly hearing information that was somewhat related to Alan, the expressions of everyone present varied.

A genius who amazed an entire era and influenced countless people who were astonished by him.

"Dr. Mosso believes that humans lie for various reasons, and behind those reasons lie various emotions. It is those complex emotions that make humans human."

"So he established an agreement that made lying absolutely impossible. If Curve could break through the limitations of this agreement and learn to lie like a human..."

"That means he is no longer bound by the rules of machines, has acquired human emotions, and has embarked on the path of upgrading from a machine to a human."

This is the wild idea of ​​the genius scientist Dr. Mosso.
