Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

Having obtained the exact location, Lu Sheng suggested, "I'll go with Funina and the little reporter to raid the factory. Clarinde, you take Navia to arrest the people and take these criminals back with you. We'll see you in court at dawn."

The two sides split up again. Claude led a team to capture Marcell, while Lu Sheng took the young reporter and Funina to the factory where Marcell manufactured Les.

Soon after, the three arrived at the entrance of the secret factory.

The factory appears to be heavily guarded, with mechanical guards and dedicated personnel at the entrance.

Charlotte stomped her feet excitedly, "Finally, we can expose these harmful things! I've been investigating Les for a long time and have a lot of evidence! If we can get footage of the factory interior this time, it will be decisive evidence to send that old bastard Marcellor to jail for life!"

"But how are we going to sneak in...? There seem to be even more guards here than at the black market! Let's try to find a back door!"

Charlotte's professional instincts told her that if she couldn't get in, she'd just sneak in.

Journalists are born to do this.

"That's not necessary."

Lu Sheng walked straight out of his hiding place.

"Just stay close, and you can just take pictures from behind."

Furna and Charlotte watched helplessly as Lu Sheng effortlessly dealt with the guards outside the factory, kicked open the steel door that was several centimeters thick, and rushed inside to continue his swift and decisive attack.

"My goodness, he's amazing! I wonder who's stronger, Lady Furina or Mr. Sherlock..."

"Ha! Need I say more? Of course I'm stronger! I don't even need to lift a finger to deal with these scum!"

Without batting an eye, Funina finished speaking and quickly followed after him, saying, "Hurry up, little reporter, there's some fresh news material inside!"

When the two entered the factory, Lu Sheng had already dealt with most of the guards inside. The rest of them were so frightened that they had run away in terror.

Charlotte frantically took photos with her camera, afraid of missing even the slightest piece of evidence.

After a careful investigation, they discovered that the so-called Les was actually made by diluting a mysterious liquid with water.

Some of the raw materials were still left in the factory, piled up in a huge steel drum.

"This stuff looks just like water, doesn't it?"

Charlotte curiously approached the steel barrel, trying to touch the liquid with her hand.

"do not move!"

Lu Sheng sternly rebuked her.

"You'll die if you get even a tiny bit of this stuff on you."

After saying that, he threw the body of a guard into the steel barrel.

A bizarre thing happened: the moment the corpse touched the liquid in the bucket, it dissolved into a puddle of water.

Funina and Charlotte's faces turned deathly pale, and they both retreated more than ten meters away.

"What...what is this thing?!"

"This is the primordial seawater. It will dissolve when Fontaine people touch it, but I am not Fontaine, so I am unaffected."

As Lu Sheng explained, he reached his hand into the bucket.

"what!"

Charlotte closed her eyes and gasped, but the scene did not repeat itself.

Mr. Sherlock was completely unharmed after touching the liquids.

"How could something so dangerous exist in Fontainebleau! Where did Marcell get it from?"

“Dissolve…” Funina stared blankly at the huge bucket of primordial fetal water. Suddenly, an extremely cruel possibility occurred to her, and she said in a trembling voice, “Could it be… that the disappearance of the girls in Fontaine… was caused by it?”

"Those girls... their remains have never been found... they... they were actually dissolved by the primordial seawater..."

No wonder Sherlock asked him to reinvestigate Carles' case; it turns out the case was connected to a series of missing girls that had plagued Fontaine for over twenty years!

Charlotte was so startled by Furness's conjecture that she was speechless for a moment.

"But...why would Marcellus do this? I can understand him creating and selling Les to make money, but why would he kill those young girls?"

"The truth should lie inside the factory."

Lu Sheng guided Funina and Charlotte to the deepest part of the factory.

This appears to be Marcel's private office, or perhaps his laboratory.

Formulas and methods were written everywhere, on the desk and the blackboard.

Without exception, they all studied the reaction between the primordial fetal water and the Fontaine people.

Judging from his experimental notes, Marcellus seems to have wanted to use experiments to reconstruct something.

Charlotte photographed and documented all the clues.

Funina found an old notebook in a locked desk drawer.

The signature above was not Marcel, but Vacher.

The notebook was filled with his love and longing for a girl named Verneel, every word was touching, and some pages even had traces of dried tears.

As Funina flipped through the notebook, a photograph of a young girl quietly floated out.

If I'm not mistaken, she must be Verneel, the girl the diary's author admires.

Funina picked up the photo and saw a line of neat handwriting on the back.

"Silly boy, please don't take any risks, okay? When are you going to marry me?"

Furna shared what she had found with Sherlock.

“Look, I found a notebook, it belongs to a man named Vasher, but how did it end up in Marcellus’s desk?”

Lu Sheng reminded her, "What do you think? The simplest possibility."

Funina fell into deep thought.

"The existing clues are enough to lead to the truth. You just need to connect all the clues and put them into a straight line."

"Vashe...the girl...Marcel...a sorrowful diary...a series of disappearances..."

Funina suddenly realized something.

"I understand! Vasher is Marcellus! Marcellus is Vasher! He lost the girl he loved and went mad. But why did he kill other innocent girls?"

"Ah! Could it be that he was looking for young girls who looked like his deceased lover, then kidnapped them, played with them until he got tired of them, and then realized they couldn't replace his beloved, so he disposed of their bodies to cover his tracks! How utterly perverted!"

You guessed right, but not entirely.

It must be said that Fu Ningna has a very rich imagination.

Lu Sheng tossed a lab log to him and reminded him once again, "You think too highly of him. He just wanted to revive his lover who was accidentally dissolved by the primordial fetus's seawater through experiments. This lab log is enough to prove his crimes."

After reviewing the experimental records, Funina felt terrible.

Each page represents a young girl who has disappeared from this world forever.

What is transformed from a vibrant life is merely a string of cold experimental data.

What this beast Vashj has done is outrageous and despicable!

Fu Ningna asked the young reporter to take photos of all the evidence for record-keeping.

"Let's go back quickly. With these, we can definitely bring Marcellus to justice in court!"

The three rushed back to Fontaine. The east was already showing the first light of dawn. In a few hours, Marcel would be brought to trial.

Furina had to hurry and take the evidence to meet with Claurind and the others.

Lu Sheng secretly pulled the young reporter aside and instructed her, "It's still dark. You can still rush to write an article for the newspaper. Make sure this story is on the front page today and attract as many people as possible to watch the trial."

Charlotte gave an OK sign. "Don't worry about that. I'm not good at fighting, but I'm a professional at creating clickbait headlines. I guarantee that everyone in Fontaine will pay attention to this trial!"

Charlotte was the one who reaped the most rewards from this investigation. Not only did she get revenge for the threatening letters she received, but she also obtained so many bombshell news stories and photos. Even if she wrote an article every day, she could write something different for more than ten days in a row.

I'm sure I deserve the Journalist of the Year award.

Charlotte then bid farewell to the two and returned to the newspaper office, while Lu Sheng and Funina went back to meet up with Claude and the others.

Fontaine Prison.

Navia was restless, pacing back and forth, glancing towards the door every now and then.

"Why aren't they back yet? The trial is in a few hours! Without sufficient evidence, the testimonies of those few perpetrators alone probably won't be enough to convict Marcel..."

Chlorin was much calmer than Navia, sitting peacefully and reassuring her, "Don't be too nervous. Lady Funina is going in person, so there will definitely be no problem. Now that Marcell has been captured by us, we just need to wait quietly. Our task now is to guard the prison to prevent Marcell's men from having any thoughts of breaking him out."

As it turned out, Claudia's concerns were not unfounded.

Before she could finish speaking, the sounds of a fierce fight erupted outside the prison.

Navia and Clorind's expressions darkened, they exchanged a glance, and immediately rushed out.

Surprisingly, it wasn't a group of people who came to rescue Marcell, but just one person.

The man concealed his face with a mask, but his strength was terrifying. The mechanical guards and law enforcement team at the entrance were all knocked to the ground in less than a minute.

"How audacious! If my prestigious Fontaine prison were to be broken into twice in a week, wouldn't I become the biggest laughing stock!"

Clarind drew her sword and said to Navia behind her, "Go and guard inside to prevent him from luring us away and having his accomplices secretly take Marcellus away."

Navia nodded slightly. "Yes! Be careful!"

At this moment, the complex emotions that had been entangled for more than ten years silently dissipated, and the relationship between the two seemed to have returned to the innocent playmates they had in their childhood.

Without uttering a word, the prison breakers decisively launched an attack on Clorind.

Clarinde remained calm, and sparks flew as their weapons clashed repeatedly.

The opponent is quite strong, almost on par with Clarinde.

But Clorind is no longer the Clorind of the past.

After being nourished by Lu Sheng's Divine Heart, she herself did not realize how much her strength had improved.

The root cause is that she has never actually used elemental power.

The nourishment from the Heart of God lies in amplifying lightning elemental power; without using elemental power, the results cannot be observed.
