Liyue, Stone Gate.

Ying and Paimon are having lunch.

The two were scheming against each other over a chicken leg.

Suddenly, the familiar light screen lit up.

'Hey Teyvat folks, have you missed me?'

Chapter 33 A Winter Night's Fool's Play, But Nonsense

'Hey Teyvat folks, have you missed me?'

As soon as the light screen appeared, everyone entered the chat room again.

Just like before, it's divided into two chat rooms, but you can see the content on both sides.

"Traveler, another video is here."

Paimon excitedly told Yingmei, "What a pity, she's too young."

Yingmei snatched the chicken leg from the plate and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Huh?! Didn't we agree to a competition? You're cheating."

"Waaaaaah! (Video starts!)"

"You'd better swallow it first!"

[Ying: Hello everyone, why didn't Master Hu do any advertising today?]

[Hu Tao: Just saw one off. The Funeral Home is having a big sale! Buy one tombstone, get one free! Buy one tombstone, get one free!]

[Paimon: Is this really advertising, or just reverse advertising?]

Amber: Travelers, where are you?

[Ying: We've arrived at Shimen. We were just having lunch.]

[Xingqiu: The Traveler is coming to Liyue?]

Paimon: Yeah, I heard your Liyue summoning ceremony is about to start, we'd like to join in the fun.

[Keqing: Could it be that you're still fantasizing about the Emperor, Traveler?]

[Ying: I didn't, I didn't]

[Hu Tao: Lie detector 3000, beep—]

[Ying: Okay, actually, a little bit]

The group joked with each other in the chat room.

'Alright, alright, everyone's warmed up enough, it's time to start playing today's video.'

'The first thing to play is an organization that spans the entire continent of Teyvat.'

'That's right, it's the Fools of Winter'!'

Preparing to play: "Winter Night Fools - Original Soundtrack"

These words immediately put high-level officials in various countries on high alert; this information was extremely significant.

Diluc: Let the Teyvats see the crimes these scumbags have committed.

[Doctor: Isn't that going too far?]

[Lady: We are merely carrying out the Queen's noble orders; we don't expect you to understand.]

[Datalia: It seems our reputation isn't so good after all.]

[Ying: Madam, you just wait!]

[Woman: What's the point of saying that? What can you do to me?]

[Qin: But even if the video exposes the Fools, they'll still get a reward, right?]

Ningguang: This is indeed very troublesome.

Qin's words were also a point of concern for everyone. If every executor of the Fools could receive a reward, wouldn't it be even more troublesome than it is now?

[Scattered soldier: What's wrong? Can't you handle this?]

Diluc: Let's worry about how much of your little schemes will be exposed first.

on the screen.

On a winter night, as snow fell heavily, a fiery red crystal butterfly, accompanied by a melodious and plaintive lament, came into view.

The Fire Crystal Butterfly flew across the snowfield and into a magnificent palace.

In a secluded room of the palace, an elderly man in fine clothes was playing chess against himself on a chessboard.

"Oh my God, this is unbelievable, I can't see anything." (The clown—Fu Chong—Peppa Pig's dad)

[Ying: If you can't see, then turn on the lights! Do you bad guys not have enough electricity?]

Paimon: I thought he was going to say some of the things that the mastermind usually says.

[Xingqiu: For example, 'The brave think they know everything']

[Fischl: I feel like, 'It's time for this winter night's game to begin.']

【clown:...】

High-ranking officials from various countries who were hoping to glean information from the video were also baffled. What was this all about?

You're standing here, did I turn off your light?

Back to the video.

On the chessboard, the knight captures a piece.

The clown: "A very good choice, well done, Peppa."

The camera zooms out, revealing two Hearts of God gleaming on the chessboard. (Most people probably wouldn't recognize them.)

The Fire Crystal Butterfly that appeared at the beginning of the video has now flown back into the palace and is resting on the chess piece that was eaten by the knight.

The clown: "Oh dear, look, there seems to be some news about George in this newspaper. I see, it's in red."

The clown: "Now it's the detective's turn to step in. Miss Detective, perhaps you should try to guess where Mr. Dinosaur has ended up."

The Teyvats were all puzzled, including the buffoon himself.

What is going on here?

Peppa Pig? George? Miss Detective and Mr. Dinosaur?

[Ying: Your Fools' codenames are quite tasteful, huh? They're comparable to those of kids.]

[Paimon: This doesn't look like a villain at all!]

[Kaiya: Telling fairy tales in a place like this, the Fools have good taste]

[Datalia: Although the commander's words are usually hard to understand, this time I don't understand a single word.]

Zhongli saw the Heart of God on the chessboard, as well as Wendy's, and the scene didn't look like a joke, so he guessed that it must be in the near future.

But he couldn't understand what the clown was saying.

Back to the video.

As the camera zooms out, the scene shifts to a more spacious room, where several Fatui executors can be vaguely seen.

The young girl, Columbia, was sleeping next to a coffin.

"It's best not to have any strange thoughts, because you can't hide anything from me." (Girl - Yang Menglu - Honkai Impact 3rd Aponia)

The camera pans to a rooster standing nearby. The rooster looks serious, but what it says is quite surprising.

Rooster: "Grandma Zhang, please don't try to comfort me. The more you comfort me, the more upset this old man feels. It reminds me of my husband. You left us far too soon." (Rooster - Wang Xiaobing - Big-Eared Tutu, Grandpa Cow)

After saying that, he closed his eyes and began to observe a moment of silence.

The rich man crossed his arms, his squinting eyes giving him the air of a villain, yet he spoke words of brotherhood and loyalty.

Rich Man: "The finance company sent a few thugs to look for you today. My informant found out where they're hiding. Don't worry, we'll take them all down tonight. Brother, if you're in trouble, just let me know, I'll help if I can." (Rich Man – Xu Min – New Police Story, Jackie Chan)

Upon hearing these words, intelligence personnel from various countries fell silent. Did this Fools really need to use codes to communicate even when members held meetings?

[Ying: Aren't you all just saying your own thing?]

[Paimon: Winter Solstice people's speech is really hard to understand]

[Hu Tao: That's a coffin, right? The one the girl is leaning against. Although the style is different from Liyue's, you can still tell.]

[Datalia: Now that you mention it, it does seem like a coffin.]

[Paimon (possessed by Kogoro Mouri): I get it! It must have been those thugs from the finance company who killed that old man's wife, so this is his wife's funeral.]

[Ying: You know what, it actually matches up]

[Kaiya: Nobody else can create this kind of atmosphere at a funeral]

The rooster really wanted to explain that he didn't have a partner, but after thinking about it, he kept quiet. If he explained something like that, wouldn't his prestige as mayor completely vanish?

The other fools also wanted to explain, but unfortunately, the video clearly showed their appearance and voices, making it impossible to explain.

In contrast, regular chat rooms are now overjoyed.

[The Fools are such good actors! At the old lady's funeral, they all acted like they were hiding a huge secret.]

[I'm going to speak with this expressionless face from now on; it makes me look sophisticated.]

If anyone talks to me like that, I'll give them a huge sinus.

[(Expressionless) I just had ramen for lunch. (Mourning)]

[(Squinting eyes, arms crossed) Bro, I ate bird egg omelet]

The chat room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

The servant, Arecino, stepped forward, seemingly somewhat displeased.
