Chapter 800: Hurry up and start the court
Kong had a rough answer in her mind, but she didn't intend to say it out loud. She wanted to wait until the three of them were the only ones left in the Traveler Group before telling Su and Paimon.
Navia noticed something from Kong's expression, but she just lowered her head and took a sip of her tea without any intention of pointing it out or asking further questions.
If you want to gain the trust of the Traveler Team and become their partner or ally, of course you can't sabotage them and cause them to feel bad.
Su looked around boredly. Not far away, a long line of spectators was waiting to be checked.
Miles explained at the right moment, "After the Supreme Inquisitor issued the order, the opera house was sealed off."
"All people entering and leaving must undergo strict inspection and questioning. They can only leave after their identities are confirmed, and they must be able to be contacted within a period of time."
Su had enough of Navia's fancy hat without the magic props inside, and returned it to her, "Then Villette still hopes to find the missing girl."
"The missing girl..." A trace of gloom flashed in Navia's blue eyes, and she said with certainty: "She probably won't be found, poor Halsey."
All the victims of the serial disappearance of young girls have completely disappeared from the world, and none of their bodies have been found over the years.
Sora: "The place where the victim disappeared was the underground passage. During the performance, it was sealed, with only a very small ventilation hole."
The ventilation vent was very narrow and did not lead to the outside of the opera house, making it impossible for either the murderer or the victim to escape through it.
Therefore, the murderer must have been in the underground passage at the time, and the girl who mysteriously disappeared was most likely...
It was dissolved by the spiritual dew.
Yes, Sora speculated that the victims of the serial disappearance of young girls were all dissolved by one of Lemuria's "legacy", the Spirit Dew.
Remus, who had lost everything, came to Fontaine by boat from Xumi and gathered some of the Fontaine people who were still in the tribal stage at that time.
In order to help the Lemurians escape their destined fate of destruction, Remus refined the original water of the fetal sea obtained from Eugolia into spiritual dew.
Use the water-insoluble spiritual dew to carry the souls, consciousness and memories of the Lemurians, elevating them from fragile flesh and blood bodies into immortal golems.
"Sora, what are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed." Su approached his pensive friend and looked at him curiously.
Sora came back to his senses, "I was thinking about the murderer's method of making the girl disappear."
Su asked curiously, "What is it? I think it's probably some special potion that can dissolve the human body."
"Wow..." Paimon looked like he had a headache.
Su looked so interested, he must be trying to get the same dangerous potion!
Kong had the same guess, and Su had actually gotten it a long time ago!
The golden cup that they found in the Lemurian treasury and that Eugolia had given to Remus contained a large ball of clear spiritual dew.
Kong was very hesitant, and he wanted to say something but stopped himself. Kong thought about it again and again, and finally told the truth.
Because several newly-acquainted members of the Thorn Rose Society were present, he couldn't directly tell Kong this dangerous information, so he had to choose to be a riddle teller.
Kong: "Spiritual dew."
Su Congkong pondered over this brief reminder, and after a few seconds, he showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
It turns out that the medicine that dissolves human body substances without damaging clothes is Linglu!
That’s right, after all, the Lemurians were originally Fontaine people, and they are also flesh and blood.
The process of their transformation from flesh and blood into golems made of magic stone and brass is to dissolve their original flesh in extreme pain, integrate their soul, personality and memory into spiritual dew, and then place it into the golem's body.
The golem is driven by the spiritual dew in its body, which can be regarded as the golem's "blood".
It seems that someone from Fontaine has found Lemuria's legacy - the spiritual dew, and is using its ability to dissolve the human body to commit crimes.
But can the spirit dew really dissolve the human body? Should I find someone to test it and see the effect?
Seeing the girl's eyes becoming increasingly dangerous, Kong Xin was startled. He grabbed Su's wrist and shook his head firmly.
"I'm not thinking of anything dangerous," Su said innocently, "There are death row prisoners in Fontaine anyway."
Using death row prisoners for experiments is called recycling.
"Hmm? I don't know what 'dangerous things' you're talking about," Navia actively joined the conversation, "but there are no death row prisoners in Fontaine."
"???" Su opened his eyes wide, "Fontaine clearly has the death penalty?!"
She had asked specifically! At the time, she still felt that Fontaine was indeed a country of law, and that its laws were stronger than those of other countries that did not have the death penalty.
It's too early to boast!
"Fontaine does have the death penalty, but there are no death row prisoners either." Navia spread her hands. "So far, no one in Fontaine has ever been sentenced to death. The highest record is life imprisonment."
But I heard that guys serving life sentences won't survive long in Melo Petersburg.
Su pressed his forehead and temporarily gave up the plan of testing the efficacy of the spiritual dew.
Paimon, who had been sitting quietly listening, suddenly shouted, "Two of my snacks are missing! Did you two take them away?"
Sora was very sure that he didn't steal Paimon's snacks, "Paimon, you ate them yourself and then forgot you had them."
"Impossible!" Paimon swore firmly, "If Paimon eats those two macarons, they will immediately turn into stone in Paimon's stomach!"
Navia tried to smooth things over. "It's just a small matter. I can just make another batch. Myles, set up the pot and start the stove!"
"Wait," Su made a pause gesture to Navia, then looked at the girl with her back to them not far away, "Whoever is over there, turn around."
——*——*——
There was no need to wait until the next day; the court showdown between the Water God and the Traveler Team began immediately.
Not only did many viewers who had not yet passed the review not rush home, but they also returned to their seats.
There were also many new audiences who heard about this fun and hurriedly bought tickets to enter and listen.
The huge Oprykle Opera House was once again bustling with people.
The Traveler Team moved from the first row of seats to the defendant and defense seats high up on the left side of the stage, while the Water God was at the other end, far away in the air.
Villette sat on the judge's seat, facing all the spectators together with the cardinal who ruled in the shape of a giant scale.
After Navrette announced the opening of the court, the guards announced a summary of the incident to the audience who came to watch the trial.
After the court proceedings concluded, the accuser, Funina, smiled confidently, "The situation is already very clear, isn't it? All the evidence points to one answer—"
"Linnie is the mastermind behind this case and the serial disappearances of young girls!"
Based on the clues provided by the security team, Funina reconstructed the "process of Linny's crime."
"After Linny entered the box, he immediately headed for the underground passage. The one who had been interacting with the audience on stage to delay time and create proof of his presence was actually his sister, Linnet!"
Funina, who was familiar with the stage and magic techniques, simply revealed the secret of Linny's magic, and Paimon clenched his hands nervously.
What, what should I do?! It's off to a bad start, Lini's alibi has been exposed!
Gulp... The Water God is smarter than he looks, worthy of being the God of Justice and Judgment!
