[“(Can’t…fall down…uh…)”]
[“Oh no, things are getting worse…we’re in the water…”]
"(I...must continue...)"
Her body went limp and weak, bubbles kept rising from her skin, and just as her vision was about to be swallowed by darkness, Fimini seemed to see a purple figure...
In the world of Golden Eyes, Zhuang Rui thought, "...I can't imagine what I would do if I fainted in a place like this..."
"Your Majesty, have mercy on this world!" Lu Xiaoyu cried out. "Fimini is bubbling up... he... he's not dissolving right now, is he?!"
"Take my brother away from the world!" Shi Miao exclaimed, "This is too damn terrifying!"
In the Star Journey world, Dia: "Waiting for death in pain and darkness... Although I clearly know the outcome of staying any longer, my body can no longer move... This final despair is truly suffocating..."
In the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World, Gui Naifen exclaimed, "Phew~ That last purple figure must have been Clarinde! That was so exciting! Clarinde! You are my god!"
In the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes, an anonymous author said, "At that moment, I felt like I saw Daigo!"
The world of Ultraman Tiga.
"Ah!"
Daigo felt like today was another day of being talked about...
After hearing Fimini's explanation, everyone understood what had happened. Fimini, upon learning that Miss Claurind had saved her, wanted to thank her, but was persuaded against it. Claurind, as a guest invited by Leosley, would be staying for a few more days; it wouldn't be too late to thank her later when Fimini felt better.
With this matter settled, Sora plans to go find Leosley to ask about the details of other things, such as why there was fetal water in the sea, how Clarind ended up here, etc...
Paimon also wanted to invite Linney to go with them. Leosley and Siegfried had been too frightening; she felt Linney should go with them to get some answers.
However, after thinking for a moment, Linnie declined Paimon's offer, saying with lingering fear.
"...My rational mind tells me it's safe now, but I can't leave. Lynette and Femini have just been in danger."
In the world of Battle King: Hurricane Soul, Lan Ruobing said, "Linnie must be feeling scared. He's afraid that once he leaves, Linette and Fimini will disappear again, and he'll go crazy... Sigh~ Why does he have to be a secret agent? Wouldn't it be better for the family to live a peaceful and quiet life?"
Lan Ruobing's eyes flickered. Was there some unspeakable reason behind this?
Chapter 276 The Secret of the Water God...
The world of Genshin Impact.
At Linni's 'Lin' residence.
At this moment, Linnie, Lynette, and Fimini sat together, speechless...
Finally, Fimini broke the silence first, bowing his head and apologizing to Linni with some guilt.
"Linnie... um, I'm sorry..."
"I will work hard to improve my skills, and I won't let everyone down next time..."
"Don't say that, Fimini, you've done enough."
Linni clenched his fist. When he saw Lynette and Fimini's accident on the screen, he felt so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.
"It's my fault... I was too careless. I should have been more cautious. As the team leader, I put you in a dangerous situation..."
Lynette moved closer to Linnie and gently took her hand, which was trembling with nervousness, upon hearing what Linnie said.
"Brother... don't make that face, please cheer up..."
"boom."
Just as the three children were comforting each other, the door to the room was suddenly opened.
Upon seeing the newcomers, the three were taken aback at first, then quickly stood up.
"Father!" *3
Indeed, the visitor was none other than Arecino. She had originally planned to hide in Fontaine first, but the scene on the sky made her uneasy, so after thinking it over, she came to Linni and the others' residence.
The future has been revealed, and Fontaine is now on high alert, making it difficult for her to gain anything from it.
Of course, there is another, more important reason.
"Linnie, why didn't you ask me for help when Lynette and Fimini were on the verge of death..."
[Following Miss Siegwen to find Leosley and Claudia, unlike Linnie and the others who were overjoyed at surviving the ordeal, things were quite peaceful here.]
Since Clarin had also been soaked in a certain concentration of amniotic fluid when she went to rescue Fimini, Siegwen took her ahead for a further physical examination.
"Shouldn't you explain this to us now?"
Paimon crossed his arms, his little face full of resentment as he waited for Leosley's explanation.
"Haha, explanation: I don't really like this way of putting it. How about [an explanation]?"
"But where should I begin? Please ask questions, let's start with the ones you most want answered."
Leosley said with some distress, "I'm not very good at explaining things to people; usually, I'm the one who listens to others explain things to me."
[After questioning by the two, it was confirmed that Leosley was indeed unaware from the beginning that Linni and his group belonged to the Fools, and that they only entered Mero Peterburg on the orders of their [servant]. Their specific purpose was only discovered as the group's actions progressed.]
[And the departure of "Young Master" was not intentional on Leosley's part. He did not deliberately obstruct or condone "Young Master's" actions; the other party simply found help naturally and left naturally.]
In the world of Zhenhun Street, Xia Ling said, "Um... I almost forgot that the purpose of coming to Mello Petersburg was to find Young Master."
"Your Majesty, have mercy on me!" Lu Xiaoyu said, "His presence is so weak... But to be fair, from his first appearance until now, apart from defeating a few weaklings and sealing his own Eye of God, he hasn't had any other outstanding performances."
In the Honkai Impact 3rd Star Railway World, Star says: "Waaaa~ Our poor Dada Duck has been getting the short end of the stick since he appeared. His presence is practically shrinking to the size of a turtle. Waaaa, so pitiful~"
In the world of Genshin Impact, Tartaglia: "Uh..."
[Leosley originally intended to use Linni and Kong to investigate the whereabouts of the "Young Master," so as to give an explanation to the "Servant" who had used this as an excuse to cause trouble. Unfortunately, the situation changed later; the seawater around Mello Petersburg was undergoing changes.]
In the world of Genshin Impact, Kustu says, "The prophecy actually started evolving from here in Mero Petersburg? That's incredible!"
It's worth mentioning that the people in Mero Petersburg were much calmer than those in Fontaine. After Leosley dealt with a few people who clearly had ulterior motives, most people were simply amazed by the incident rather than fearful.
After all, Mello Petersburg has been underwater for so many years, so changes in water quality don't seem to affect life here...
Of course, there are also people desperately earning permits, hoping to get out before the prophecy arrives, whether to flee or stay, to be with their families...
[If Linni and his group hadn't insisted on investigating the [forbidden zone], and if Sora, as an investigator sent by Vilette, hadn't been implicated, Leosley wouldn't have intervened to ensure their safety.]
"Is the rumor true? Were you really a criminal before?"
With most of the major issues resolved, and given this rare opportunity, Paimon wanted to satisfy his curiosity.
In the world of Genshin Impact, Charlotte: "Well done, Paimon!"
"Heh~ What are you talking about? You're the administrator of Mero Petersburg now, spending all your time here is practically like being in prison. It's just that the people here respect me more."
Leosley brushed it off.
In the world of "The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System", Shen Qingqiu says, "Tsk tsk tsk, Leosley: I'm not as arrogant as they say, it's just that they all call me Big Brother."
In the Genshin Impact world, Charlotte: "Hmm..."
Charlotte was somewhat disappointed, but she quickly cheered up. This was for the best; there must be something big hidden behind what could keep that [Duke] from talking about it!
If I could investigate thoroughly and get an exclusive report...
Thinking of this, Charlotte couldn't help but sweat and beads of sweat trickled down her cheeks...
[And then there's Clarinde. Leosley has spent a fortune hiring a third-party force; he needs a highly capable ally to deal with the upcoming crisis.]
[For example, casually rescuing Fimini or something.]
The final question, regarding the [restricted area]...
"This is not something you should be asking. The job Vilette entrusted to you was simply to find out [the young master's] whereabouts."
"I only need to prove to you that the [restricted area] has nothing to do with the young master's disappearance, and Fimini is a witness to that."
In the world of "The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System," Shen Qingqiu says: "Translation: Don't pry into other people's business. (doge)"
"But we've already found the infirmary, and you asked a bunch of questions... but you haven't answered our last question yet!"
Paimon was somewhat unwilling to accept this; her burning curiosity had been completely ignited by the hidden truth!
"Oh, I'm almost embarrassed. You guys really want to know the answer?"
"Even telling the truth might not make you happy?"
Leosley issued a final warning, but Sora and Paimon remained steadfast in their gaze.
【“Follow me.”】
In the Genshin Impact world, Siegfried said, "Oh, the Duke actually compromised. That's quite unexpected."
In the Genshin Impact world, Clarinde said, "Indeed, given his personality, he spoils Sora and Paimon a bit too much."
In the world of Genshin Impact, Leosley said, "Hiss~ Saying it's doting is a bit of an exaggeration."
However, he could understand his own actions, after all, it's rare to find a capable and kind person like Kong.
"It seems the matter of the [forbidden zone] can no longer be kept secret..."
Sigh... It seems that if we want the prisoners who know danger is lurking around them to behave themselves, we'll have to put the boat on the agenda...
[Further down, on the first floor of the Duke's office, under Leosley's manipulation, a secret underground passage leading deeper into the building quietly opened.]
[Furthermore, after reaching the underground space, it is necessary to operate the mechanism again to make the entire circular disc in the center of the room continue to descend...]
In the Genshin Impact world, Charlotte exclaims, "Wow! What is it?! What is it?! It feels like a big one is coming!"
In the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes, an anonymous user wrote: "? Isn't Paimon supposed to fly in the sky? How come he's falling down with the ground? Damn it, you really are a Paimon!"
"Take My Brother Away from the World," Shi Fen: "What a strange creature, a ground-hugging, magnetically levitating, anthropomorphized version?"
In the world of Super God Academy, Ge Xiaolun said, "Dude, could you share some resources? Thanks."
As the elevator landed, a vast space came into view.
The most eye-catching feature is undoubtedly the enormous mechanical door at the far end of the room, which almost covers the entire wall and is tens of meters tall!
"There are three similar isolation doors in total. Generally, no one can enter through them except me. As the name suggests, [restricted area]."
"But you'll definitely share that information with those Fools, right?"
Leosley explained, then asked seemingly casually, and after receiving affirmative answers from Sora and Paimon, he didn't think much of it and continued leading the way.
As the mechanism was activated, the massive mechanical door slowly rose...
[Kong quickly approached and examined the room closely... The room was extremely empty, completely bare, which was strange in itself. In the center of the room was a device, like a... gigantic gate.]
"Since taking over Melo Petersburg, I've been very concerned about what's behind that door. Opening it rashly would be unwise, but not investigating what's behind it is also allowing potential problems to arise."
[Leosley's voice, explaining appropriately, is heard.]
"Since I took over Melo Petersburg, the dashboard on the gate has remained unchanged, but in the last year, its needle has subtly shifted, probably because some data has changed even slightly."
On the gate, the pointer on the semi-circular instrument panel had reached its limit, emitting a faint reddish glow, seemingly indicating that the device had reached its pressure tolerance limit.
"Normally it would probably be overlooked, but I had some free time at the time, so I spent some time investigating. What do you think it might be?"
[Temperature, water pressure—Leosley conducted experiments and eliminated these possibilities one by one.]
"...Later, I thought of other possibilities related to the primordial womb. Based on this conjecture, I began to make preparations."
"The needle has changed again these past two days, and considering the diver's symptoms upon returning, I'm now completely certain that this index represents the concentration of the original fetal seawater."
In the world of Genshin Impact, Vidocq said, "This is truly shocking news..."
In the world of Genshin Impact, Kustu exclaimed, "The concentration of the seawater... Could it be! Could it be!"
In the Genshin Impact world, Ravelan says, "Shut up, Kustu! That's just a detector for the seawater. Don't scare yourself!"
Lavelan was very worried that his good friend would lose his life because of something he shouldn't have said.
"Concentration?! But this is the seabed..."
Paimon exclaimed in disbelief.
"That's the problem. We're on the seabed, and the seawater has quietly changed, mixed with womb water, and the concentration is constantly increasing."
"...Is the amniotic fluid constantly mixing with seawater?"
[Kong drew a conclusion, his gaze instinctively drifting towards the gate in the middle of the room...]
"But, let alone the two of us, even Vilette and the others don't know where the primordial womb is, or where the womb water comes from... Ah!"
[Paimon's eyes suddenly widened halfway through his sentence, shocking me for a whole year!]
