Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Chapter 797 Joining the New Home

Su was silent for a moment. "There aren't any truly good people among the chaebols and aristocrats. They give away 'one' for free just to earn more 'tens' in return."

"Su is right." Linnie smiled bitterly. "Although I was disappointed, I also accepted his 'adoption' mixed with a lot of exploitation."

He thought that as long as they each got what they needed, when he and his sister grew up they could get out of this environment and thank each other.

But at that time, Linny never imagined that the hearts of those nobles were far more filthy and dark than he thought.

Once again, Linny was taken to a banquet by a noble. When he returned home after the performance, he did not see Linnet who had "gone home first".

Linny rushed to the noble's bedroom to question him, and received a nonchalant answer from him:

"A big shot at the banquet took a fancy to her, so I gave her away as a gift. Anyway, you can still perform magic with a different assistant, right?"

Linnet = a "gift" given casually.

No one present could accept this.

Paimon was furious. "Can't the laws of Fontaine punish those guys? We'll report them and make sure they spend the rest of their lives in jail!"

Sora thought that a long time had passed and the statute of limitations might have expired, but… "Perhaps Linnie still remembers the addresses of those two nobles' homes?"

Su took out swords, spears, halberds, axes, halberds, hooks, forks, sleep juice, and bombs. "I have eighteen martial arts that I want to display, and I'm in need of two sparring partners."

Linnet smiled lightly and said, "It's all over. Thank you."

Linnie talked about the follow-up.

As he hurried through the night to bypass the guards, ready to fight to the death with a dagger in hand, he saw blood spilled on the ground under the moonlight.

"...and my father standing in a pool of blood."

The [Servant] rescued Linnet before she could be harmed in any way, and there were also several beautiful little girls hiding in the basement.

The servant invited Linnet, who had a knife hidden in her sleeve, and Linny, who had arrived successfully. "You are very talented, and your interests are aligned with ours. You are welcome at Hearth House. There will never be betrayal, and betrayal will never be tolerated."

Having just been betrayed, Lini rejected the servant's invitation.

[Servant] did not threaten or force anyone, nor did he use favors to win them over.

She simply wiped out the nobles who adopted Linny and Linnet, returning their freedom to them.

Su:……

She had already guessed what would happen next.

Just and selfless, gentle and powerful, regardless of whether these displays were true or false, the [Servant] successfully pulled Linny and Linnita into the Fatui camp.

And seeing Linny's expression of gratitude, admiration, and a desire to repay her, she couldn't possibly have pulled Linny and Linnit out of the Fatui. She could only blame them for meeting too late.

Linny finished telling the whole story of how he and Linnet joined the Fatui, and found that confessing to Su was not as difficult as he had originally thought, and the ending was not as bad as he had guessed.

Linnet: "Linnie, you hesitated for so long and didn't dare to confess. You are actually a coward."

He was afraid that if he took off the mask of enthusiasm and cheerfulness, the real self hidden behind the mask would be rejected.

The more you take it seriously, the more timid you become.

Linnie scratched his head. "I'm not a coward... Although I think Sue might beat me up, I don't think I'll cry, do I?"

Linnet stood a little further away, "Linnie, idiot." She wasn't referring to that, and wasn't she reminding Su by saying this now?

Su imitated Dixia's posture and clenched his fist. "So Linny is looking forward to being beaten by me. As a friend, how can I not satisfy you?"

Su's face turned cold, and he threw a punch, "Take my million-ton punch!"

Seeing that he couldn't escape the beating, Linny closed his eyes and clenched his teeth the moment the girl's fist came towards him.

Su said this because he was still willing to be their friend. It was just a beating, he could handle it! He definitely could!

The girl's fist stopped in front of the boy's sweaty face, and then she swung her index finger, and with a "bang" his top hat flew away.

Linnie opened one eye in confusion and found that Sue and Paimon were taking out his magic hat with great interest.

Seeing Linny looking over, Sue declared confidently, "This is my trophy! I won't give it back."

Linnie exhaled and raised his hands in surrender and agreement, "It's yours."

Sue and Paimon took out various things from the inner layer of Linny's magic hat, including playing cards, ribbons, flowers, glitter, small fireworks and a black cat doll.

Sue rubbed the grinning cat stuffed animal in her hat. "What is this?"

Linny took the magic hat, adjusted it, and swung it hard. A grinning black cat and surprise fireworks instantly burst out of it!

"The Grinning Cat hat is a good companion in battle and magic." Linnie made a curtain call gesture, spun the hat a few times in his hand, and then gently put it on Su's head.

Su, who hadn't expected magic props to be used in combat, clapped his hands vigorously, then expanded his thinking, "If the small fireworks were replaced with bouncing bombs... the power would definitely be even greater!"

Linnie looked at the girl with a smile and added, "It's a pity that my Eye of God was confiscated, otherwise I could turn into the Cat in the Hat with a weird smile and let you see it."

A magic hat appeared in Linnet's hand. She took out a cup of hot tea from the hat, shook her head slightly and blew away the tea foam. "Now is not the time to open the screen."

"Linnet also has a magic hat!" Su's eyes lit up, and she and Paimon squeezed next to Linnet to play with her hat.

"Hmm!" Linnie, who was reminded by his sister to pay attention to the timing and situation, glanced at Sora secretly, stood up straight and got the topic back to the point.

"...We are the Fatui. During the few seconds between Linnet appearing on the stage disguised as me and me entering the underground passage, I went on a mission."

Because he went to another space to carry out a mission, Linnie did not meet Miss Lucky Audience and assistant Cowell.

"I went to the room where the core of the Cardinal's Oracle of Judgment is located."

The Fatui have always wondered how the Oracle of Verdict actually works, and have a deep suspicion that the machine possesses self-awareness.

The Lini Magic Troupe spent a lot of time and energy on the stage of the Opicle Opera House, with the purpose of investigating the Cardinal's decree.

"I don't have enough time to explore further, but I can confirm that the room where the core is supposedly placed is empty."

"I had no choice but to leave and rush to the exchange box in the auditorium to complete the magic show. Everyone knows what happened next."

Paimon: "This can serve as an alibi, but spying on the "artifact" is definitely against Fontaine law and a crime!"

Evidence from another crime was used as an alibi to prove that Linnie was not the murderer, but in the end Linnie still had to go to jail!

Su patted Linny's shoulder and said reassuringly, "Linny, go ahead and rest assured. I'll take care of Linnet and Femini."

Linny wiped his sweat. "Have you decided to give up on me in an instant, Su? And Linnet will be tried and convicted along with me as an accomplice."

Sue: "Okay, okay, for Linnet's sake, we'll try harder."

Linnet's small cat ears rose and her tail wagged slightly in pleasure.

Sora: "Why would the fools want to know the principles of the Cardinal's oracle?"

The Fatui have always coveted the Hearts of the gods of various nations. Could it be that—

The Water God placed the Heart of God in the Cardinal of Oracle and Judgment?
