Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

Lu Sheng questioned, "What are you doing?"

"What are you doing?" Funina frowned, surveying the surrounding destruction. "Fontaine was just hit by a large-scale terrorist attack, causing immense harm to the nation and its people. And you, an unidentified suspicious person, were witnessed suddenly appearing at the scene of the attack. Do we need a reason to arrest you?"

"Don't even think about resisting. You're already injured like this. You should just surrender obediently. Before the gods, any resistance is futile!"

Furna displayed considerable strength; with a wave of her hand, a large number of Fontaine's autonomous machines emerged behind her, each equipped with sophisticated weapons.

Lu Sheng: Trying not to laugh.jpg

If I didn't know Funina's true identity, I would have been completely fooled by this little brat.

To be honest, even though I am seriously injured right now, the Fontaine soldiers and autonomous agencies here are no match for me at all.

With just a flick of his finger, he could make all these soldiers and robots fly.

But Lu Sheng did not intend to resist.

Since we're already here, why not just get our hands on the Water God's Heart and bring Fontaine under the rule of the great Hagi Mushroom King? Wouldn't that be perfect?

“Your Excellency the Water God, I believe there must be a great misunderstanding here, and I can explain.”

“No need to explain to me!” Funina raised her hand to interrupt Lu Sheng’s sophistry. “Fontaine is a country known for its strict laws. As a suspect, you’d better not say a word now. Save any defense you have for the courtroom.”

With that, Funina waved her hand and said, "Take him back to Fontaine!"

Watching the soldiers escort Lu Sheng onto the prison van and take him away, Fu Ningna, all alone, let out a heavy sigh of relief.

"Phew~ Luckily, my acting was good enough to scare him. If we had actually started fighting..."

She looked up, her heart pounding with worry as she surveyed the horrific scene of destruction around her. The relief she had just felt was replaced by renewed anxiety.

What does it mean that Fontainebleau, a place that has always been peaceful, has suddenly suffered such a terrible attack?

If a malicious force were to attack, how should I respond?

Thinking of this, the face of Chief Justice Navelette appeared in Furnessa's mind.

He longed to shoulder the responsibility of protecting Fontaine, the Water God, but he was not the true Water God, lacking the power to destroy the world with a mere gesture. The burden of protecting Fontaine still had to be placed on Vilette...

"Lord Water God! Aren't you leaving yet?"

The soldier's urging interrupted Funina's thoughts. She responded and quickly followed.

On the way back to Fontainebleau, Funina kept a close eye on the prisoners in the prison van.

He looked very badly injured, with gruesome wounds all over his body and blood flowing continuously.

I'm really afraid he'll die before he can hold out in Fontainebleau.

Wouldn't that mean we wouldn't get any clues at all?

So Funina stopped the procession, jumped onto the prison cart, and carefully examined the other man's injuries.

Lu Sheng, who was resting with his eyes closed, recalling the thrilling battle he had just fought, noticed that the prison cart had suddenly stopped. He opened his eyes and met Fu Ningna's worried gaze.

He frowned. "What do you want to do?"

"Don't be nervous, I'm just afraid you'll die." When Fu Ningna saw Lu Sheng's wounds up close, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Such serious injuries would have killed an ordinary person long ago. It's incredible that you can still stay conscious."

As she spoke, Funina stretched out her hand, and pale blue water elemental power gathered at her fingertips, transforming into several adorable little sprites that helped heal Lu Sheng's more serious wounds.

What a kind 'water god'!

In the recent battle, Lu Sheng's strength was almost completely exhausted, and even his healing ability was greatly reduced. The depleted grass elemental power in his body could no longer maintain the function of his regeneration skills, and he could only rely on the meager water elemental power to slowly recover from his injuries.

He urgently needs to rest for a while to recover his divine power; of course, having a few power banks would be even better.

In fact, becoming a prisoner in Fontainebleau is not necessarily a bad thing; it's a kind of alternative protection.

After all, the Evil Knights and the Moon Hunters are still alive. If they join forces again to attack, I will definitely be powerless to fight them.

With the Dragon King Navelette and the Water God in charge, the defeated Evil Knights and Moon Hunters probably wouldn't dare to come.

Although the water god on the surface is fake, only Funina and the water god himself know this. In the eyes of others, the water god of Fontaine is the real one.

I can take this opportunity to recuperate for a while, restore my strength, and find a way to contact my companions in Sumeru.

Lisa and Paimon must be frantic with worry right now. If they really think I'm dead, who knows what crazy things they might do.

As his most serious wounds slowly healed, Lu Sheng joked, "Lord Water God, aren't you afraid that after you heal me I'll suddenly turn around and bite you back?"

Funina's power suddenly stopped for a moment, and she was just as afraid that this would happen. After a brief pause, her power reappeared.

"Hmph! I am the mighty Water God, why would I be afraid of you?"

After healing several fatal wounds, Funina finally stopped.

She wasn't stupid; the purpose of the treatment was to prevent the prisoner from dying before he even had a chance to go to court. It was impossible to completely cure the prisoner.

Being half-dead is the best state.

"What's your name? Where are you from?"

Funina recalled the water spirit and asked.

Lu Sheng thought for a moment and replied, "Sherlock, Sherlock Moriarty, Your Excellency the Water God, I come from the Winter Solstice."

When it comes to spouting nonsense, Rikuo's skill surpasses all others on the entire Teyvat continent.

Funina is such a naive and somewhat silly girl, she's the easiest to fool.

"The Winter Solstice?" Frynn's attitude changed instantly, and she asked with a hint of nervousness, "You wouldn't happen to be one of the Fools, would you?"

If it were the Fools, then this terrorist attack wouldn't seem so surprising.

After all, the infamy of the Fools had already spread throughout the entire continent.

Lu Sheng did not answer the question, but said calmly, "I think I have the right to remain silent."

Although Funina was curious, she did not insist on getting the answer here.

"It's okay, everything will be answered when we get to court."

Lu Sheng was escorted back to Fontaine and, as a suspect in the terrorist attack, was temporarily detained in Fontaine's prison.

The court still needs to gather evidence of this terrorist attack, and the trial of the mainland student will take place in two days.

Xumi, Teaching Order.

A full day has passed since Lu Sheng went missing, and everyone in the Academy is frantic with worry.

On the one hand, post-war recovery work must proceed without delay; the Imperial Guard must reclaim lost territory, clear away the remains left by the monsters, and reclaim farmland in the desert.

On the other hand, the mourning of fallen soldiers and the comforting of their families must also be taken seriously.

With the Mushroom King's whereabouts unknown, the pressure on the Order of the Instruction is unimaginable.

If we hadn't known that the Mushroom King was still alive, this country would probably have been in chaos long ago.

Apep and his team didn't rest for a moment, trying every possible way to find Lu Sheng's whereabouts.

A group of people stood solemnly around the stargazing mirror, waiting for Mona to finish her stargazing session.

A moment later, Mona sadly looked away from the stargazing mirror and shook her head at the expectant crowd.

"I'm sorry, I haven't found any clues about Rikuo... He is an unobservable being, I've done my best..."

The atmosphere became quite deathly silent.

We've tried everything, even Mona and her apprentice's astrology was useless. Who knows where Lu Sheng went?

If he were still alive and had the strength to return to Sumeru, he would definitely come back immediately.

A whole day passed, but there was still no news of him, which inevitably made people think of the worst possible outcome.

Lisa, fighting back her grief, comforted Mona: "Don't blame yourself, you've done your best."

She carefully considered the different possibilities and came up with a new idea: "Could the little cutie still be trapped in the abyss? Apep, you were the only one there at the time, could you tell me more about the specific situation?"

Apep then recounted in detail what she had seen in the abyss.

In the end, she couldn't help but blame herself, saying, "If only I had gone in to help him sooner, things wouldn't have turned out this way..."

This time, the well-informed Barbie Ross discovered a blind spot in Appepp's description that she had not noticed before.

"Wait, you said that at the final moment, many spacetime rifts appeared around Rikuo?"

"That's right. His final attack tore the entire abyss apart, and many spacetime rifts appeared around us. Luckily, I was far away at the time. If I had been closer, I probably would have been caught in it, and even if I hadn't died, I would have been badly injured."

Barbie Ross frowned, and after careful consideration, came to a rather optimistic conclusion.

"If that's the case... perhaps Rikuo accidentally fell into one of the spacetime rifts after exhausting himself and was randomly teleported to another place."

The priest hurriedly pressed, "Which places specifically?"

Barbiros shook her head. "Anywhere is possible. After all, the power of the Abyss is unpredictable and can even connect to beyond the world. However, since the Mushroom King's power is still there, it means that Lu Sheng is currently still within Teyvat."

"So...Lu Sheng could be anywhere in the Seven Kingdoms of Twatt right now?"

"That's the theory, but nobody knows exactly where it is."

Barbie Ross's conclusion rekindled everyone's confidence in finding Lu Sheng.

Lisa exclaimed with delight, "Then I'll go find the Great Sage right away and have him contact the six kingdoms in his capacity as a member of the Council of Religion to provide clues!"

"Oh dear, what a worrying guy. We can't let him get away with this once we find him."

Shenzi firmly believed from beginning to end that Lusheng would be alright. What she was most worried about now was that Lusheng might come back alone outside with several more women.

She turned to Mona and said, "That guy is a notorious troublemaker. Mona, could you please use your astrology to keep an eye out for anything strange happening in the six kingdoms recently? If anything seems amiss, it's most likely Lu Sheng's doing."

"Okay! Leave it to me! I'll keep a close eye on it!"

Everyone regained their confidence and busied themselves with searching for Lu Sheng's whereabouts.

After leaving the observatory, the Divine Child immediately went to a secret hideout known only to her and Rikuo, and gathered the Fools there.

Now that Rikuo is gone, the Divine Child has become the commander of this group of fools.

She had led these Fools on missions before, and her relationship with Rikuo was no secret to them. Therefore, the Fools obeyed the Goddess's orders without complaint.

"Don't worry, everyone. Your commander is not in danger for the time being. I have obtained some clues about him, and I need you to go to the other six countries to gather information."

The divine child methodically assigned tasks.

“Zoe, you’ve been to Mondstadt before and you’re familiar with the place. You and your brother will be responsible for going to Mondstadt to find Lu Sheng.”

"Norman, you have friends in Fontaine, why don't you go to Fontaine?"
