Furnessa's voice echoed through the cell as she followed Miu Nie into the cell.
"I was shocked."
Startled by the loud voice, Lu Sheng sat up in bed.
Furina scrutinized the prisoner and questioned Munnie, "Where are his chains? As a suspect, he should be restrained."
Miu Ni complained bitterly, "At first, he did, but then he just broke the chain himself. No matter how thick the chain was, it didn't work... He didn't run away... He just stayed in the cell, so we didn't take any coercive measures against him."
"Outrageous! How dare you disregard the laws of Fontainebleau! Do you think prison is a vacation spot?"
“Wait a minute,” Lu Sheng retorted, “I’m already in a cell, which means my personal freedom is restricted. What’s the point of putting heavy chains on me? That’s a violation of my human rights!”
"..."
Fu Ningna was speechless. How could a prisoner like you be emphasizing human rights?
Forget it, I'll settle the score with him later.
Funina raised her head, displaying a domineering attitude. "I heard you were very uncooperative with Melusin's interrogation. Is that true?"
"If defending myself counts as not cooperating, then so be it."
"Defending himself?" Furness frowned, turning to ask Muuni, "Is what he said true?"
Mentioning this only made Miu Ni angrier. Pointing at Lu Sheng, she yelled, "He's been arguing the whole time! He's just rambling on and on, and he hasn't answered our questions properly at all!"
"Hmph! It seems I'll have to do it myself!" Funina said as she walked out. "Put him in shackles and bring him to the interrogation room."
A few minutes later, Rikuo was bound hand and foot and taken to a small dark room, where he sat in front of the presiding judge, Lady Funina.
"Ahem!" Furna cleared her throat and, as usual, read out the interrogation rules. "Suspect Sherlock Moriarty, listen carefully. I, Furna, the Supreme Water Goddess of Fontaine, will now interrogate you as the presiding judge. Munnie, as the assistant judge, will be responsible for recording all our conversations."
“Every word you say will be recorded, so please think carefully before you answer. Furthermore, as the water god of Fontaine, you must swear to me that everything you say is true. If you tell even a single lie, you will be punished by the water god.”
Lu Sheng nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I understand. I've heard these words several times already."
"Okay, then let the interrogation begin."
Funina became serious, leaned back, and revealed a cold expression.
This is a summary of her experience after watching countless interrogations. Generally speaking, during an interrogation, the two interrogators should work together, one assertive and the other gentle, to obtain useful testimony from the prisoner.
This time, she was assigned to play the role of the assertive interrogator.
In terms of acting skills, Fulina has considerable confidence. She has spent 80% of the past 500 years performing, and it can be said that acting has been integrated into every cell of her body. She can perform any role flawlessly.
"Sherlock, I ask you, what is your purpose in coming to Fontaine as a Winterborn?"
Lu Sheng replied, "Is there any law in Fontainebleau that prohibits outsiders from entering? Can't I come here as a tourist?"
Funina chuckled lightly, "Hmph! Fontaine's laws stipulate that all entrants must be registered and screened before entering the country. Those who are not registered are considered to be illegally crossing the border and will be deported."
"Then why don't you deport me?"
"Ridiculous! You have caused serious damage to Fontaine and have violated Fontaine's laws. Even if you are a foreigner, you cannot escape legal punishment! Confess honestly, why did you smuggle yourself into Fontaine to cause trouble? What was your motive? Was someone behind you? What is your connection with the Fools?"
A series of questions were thrown out, and Funina's gaze was fixed on Lu Sheng, silently forcing him to answer.
Lu Sheng took a deep breath and slowly said, "I didn't cause any damage. I'm a victim too. Tell me, who would cause serious injury by blowing themselves up while trying to cause damage?"
"Nonsense! I have eyewitness testimonies here. People saw you appear out of thin air at the center of the explosion after it happened. That's an undeniable fact! We, the Fontaine Tribunal, are not fools. Do you think we can't distinguish the victims?"
"What evidence?" Lu Sheng asked. "It's just that someone saw me at the explosion site. Is there any direct evidence to prove that I caused the explosion?"
Funina: "We are currently gathering evidence."
Lu Sheng frowned slightly and retorted, "Look, I'm just an ordinary person. I don't even have the Eye of God. How could I possibly cause that level of destruction?"
No God's Eye? That doesn't make sense.
Furness felt a pang of anxiety and asked Munney beside her, "Doesn't he have the Eye of God?"
Miu Miu shook her head. "We have thoroughly searched him and found neither the Eye of God nor the Evil Eye of the Fools."
This put Funina in a difficult position.
It is important to understand that the power of the continent of Tewatt originates from elemental power, and there is an insurmountable gap between ordinary people and those who possess the Eye of God.
The limits of ordinary people can never match the lower limit of those who possess the Eye of God.
Those who cannot utilize elemental power are absolutely incapable of causing that level of destruction.
Unless... he's not human.
In her dilemma, Funina also thought of another possibility: using some kind of special weapon.
In that case, it would be even more likely that Sherlock is a member of the Fools.
Suicide terrorist attack? The thought involuntarily crossed her mind.
“You almost diverted my attention,” Funina said confidently. “Even without the Eye of God, ordinary people can cause enormous destruction with the power of technology. Winter is the most powerful being among the Seven Kingdoms, so it’s not impossible for him to provide you with weapons.”
"No, I did not use any weapons. This is malicious speculation."
Lu Sheng suddenly reached his hand onto the table.
This action startled Furness and Munney, as if the wrist-thick chain was as fragile as noodles to Sherlock.
"You! How did you break free?" Funina's eyes widened.
Miuni chimed in, "That's exactly how Lady Furina is! That's how she did it during the previous interrogations!"
"Damn it! You managed to break free from such thick chains so easily! And you still claim to be an ordinary person! Lying to the water god will incur divine punishment!"
"Will lying incur divine punishment?" Lu Sheng suddenly stood up, placed his hands on the table, stared at Funina, and asked in a low voice, "May I ask, Miss Funina, are you the supreme water goddess of Fontaine?"
Have you ever lied?
In an instant, Funina lost all her composure, opened her mouth wide, and gripped the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands until her fingers turned white.
What's going on? I'm the one interrogating him, so why does it feel like I'm the one being interrogated?
It is simply contrary to Tiangang!
Calm down! Furina! Calm down!
She kept reassuring herself, "I mustn't give myself away!"
Soon, having calmed down, Funina stood up abruptly and said calmly, "The suspect is extremely uncooperative! This interrogation is over! Take the suspect back to his cell and keep him under strict guard until the final court trial!"
She ran away, leaving the interrogation room without looking back. Even after running into her room in the Mo Mang Palace and closing the door, Fu Ningna's tension had not subsided.
Lying on the soft down mattress, Funina's mind was filled with Sherlock's face.
What exactly did he mean by that sentence?
Why would you suddenly ask that kind of question?
Damn it! Could this guy have discovered something and come to Fontaine specifically to expose me?
What if he suddenly causes a scene like that in court tomorrow?
A series of questions left Funina completely bewildered.
"No! We can't let that happen!"
She jumped out of bed, rummaged through drawers and found a mask she had used at a ball long ago, and altered it with a paintbrush.
Tonight! I have to go find him and get to the bottom of this!
Fontaine Chapter: Chapter 139: Prison Break
In the quiet night, Lu Sheng lay alone in bed, admiring his spoils with great satisfaction.
[Unknown forbidden knowledge has been transformed into forbidden knowledge points, gaining 20 forbidden knowledge points.]
Forbidden Shop: Level 3
[Item: Dragon Shout (1 Forbidden Knowledge Point, 1 Character, with a free copy of the Dragon Language Encyclopedia) – Essentially the language of dragons, it uses the language and methods of dragons to unleash various effects; it is an innate ability of dragons.]
[Item: Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill (5 Taboo Knowledge Points) - "A single golden pill is obtained from heaven, and its master is reborn in the world after three years." After taking it, if one suffers a near-death experience, the person can be resurrected.]
[Item: Advanced Gold Creation Technique (5 Forbidden Knowledge Points) - Strange alchemical knowledge from another world; mastering it allows you to create gold artifacts from chalky white surfaces.]
[Item: T45 Power Armor (3 Taboo Knowledge Points) – A milestone in the history of power armor development. After hundreds of years without armor, humanity has finally chosen to wear armor again. Despite its many shortcomings, it is the ancestor of all power armor.]
Every last drop of Vesefniel's forbidden knowledge was absorbed into his body.
Compared to the last time, this time the Forbidden Knowledge Shop is definitely worth more than its price.
Not to mention that it can transform into a dragon and make people fly with its roar, this Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill is a bit too overpowered. It gives you two lives, so you can fight to the death and even if you die, you can be resurrected.
Many risky moves that one wouldn't dare to use can be taken without worry after consuming a resurrection pill.
In the face of life and death, hesitation leads to defeat; it's a contest of who is less afraid of death.
The Golden Creation Technique has been upgraded to the highest level, and we can begin the development plan for Golden-level creations.
Furthermore, the power armor further facilitated the Great Mushroom King's conquest plan.
Although this is a power armor from the Radiation series, it should be more than enough to conquer Teyvat and resist the Abyss.
The power armor worn by Space Marines would be a bit too much for this era.
If a level 3 shop is already like this, I can't even imagine what a level 4 shop will be like.
"Extreme Evil Rider, Moon Hunter, you two Byds, you've offended the Mushroom King and you think you can run away? Just wait, no matter where you hide, I won't let you go."
After two days of rest, Lu Sheng's strength had recovered to about half, his elemental power was constantly replenishing, and the various injuries on his body had been almost completely healed through his regeneration skills.
Tomorrow he'll be sent to the opera house for trial, where he'll meet Navelette. I wonder if he'll be as easy to talk to as Appepp?
Lu Sheng was pondering how to exonerate himself in court the next day when, outside the prison, a beautiful figure sneaked into the cell.
"Hmm...why is the security so tight?"
Funina changed into a black bodysuit, wore a painted mask, and hid in the shadows, feeling uneasy as she watched the constantly patrolling Melusin guards.
She suddenly remembered that she had given orders to keep a close watch on the prisoners before she left.
Ah... this can also be used as a boomerang?
She sighed helplessly and waited quietly for Meloshen, who was on patrol, to pass by before tiptoeing toward the cell where Sherlock was being held.
"This young lady actually..."
