The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Don't waste your energy, they've already run away. Besides, don't you think you guys are acting differently than usual?"

Ember's words were like a bucket of cold water, chilling them to the bone. They first looked at Ember, then reflected on their behavior that day.

Those who operate in the gray area won't easily bring strangers into their territory, and they won't speak so recklessly.

But everything has changed today, and the best proof is the Ember standing before them. They brought the Ember here almost without hesitation, something that would have been absolutely impossible in the past.

"It seems you've figured something out. Wake up!"

"Boom!"

As he spoke, Yu Jin explained the principle of regression to the group.

A golden light swept across them, instantly sobering them up considerably. But what terrified them even more was that their limbs and bodies began to melt into water!

"Damn it! We've gone too far with the regression, it's the principle of causality!"

"Boom!"

The posture of the ember's arm was completely opposite to that of the previous reversion principle, and the melted people in front of him also began to return to normal.

"Huff...huff...what just happened..." The group collapsed to the ground, staring at their palms, unwilling to believe what had just happened.

"It melted into water? Didn't you see?"

Ember shook the bottles that the others had just discarded.

"But how can a person dissolve into water?"

"That's something you don't know. Besides the situation you just encountered, there's another one."

With a flick of his wrist, Yu Jin extracted the remaining liquid from the bottle. The liquid rapidly condensed, eventually forming a smaller, but bluer, droplet.

Who has the longest fingernails?

"he!"

"you……"

Everyone pointed to the same guy, who looked like he was about to cry.

"Watch closely, if you drink that stuff again, you'll end up like these fingernails."

He spread out the palm of the man who had been stabbed in the back, and Ember dripped water onto his long fingernails.

"Gululu!"

After a barely perceptible dissolving sound, a pit was dissolved in the person's fingernail.

"Eh~~"

The crowd was horrified at the sight, but the facts were undeniable and left them no choice but to believe it.

"Remember this for the future. If you see anyone selling that kind of thing again, report it to the security team immediately."

"Mmmmmmm!"

The men nodded vigorously. What did they mean by telling the garrison? They should beat him up first and then send him to the garrison!

They thought it was some high-quality product at a low price, but now it seems that you get what you pay for.

"Good to know." Yu Jin nodded, then got up and left.

As he walked, he took out another bottle and looked at it.

"Diluted original fetal water? How did they make it? And... it seems quite clever."

Yu Jin scratched his head, feeling like his helmet was about to burst. Sure enough, he was only good at combat; for things that required thinking, he'd better ask someone else.

"I wonder if this discovery counts as a meritorious service?"

"No! Why should I help the young master? He should be kept in jail longer!"

Yu Jin muttered a few words to himself and then headed straight for the Court of Law Enforcement.

……

"Hey! Kid, I've done you a favor!" As soon as he returned to the Court of Law Enforcement, Yu Jin slapped the table in front of the young master and said.

"What? You captured Olympus?"

"Who is that?"

"It was the guy I fought, he was involved too! Why should I be the only one responsible!"

At this point, the young master couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Judging from what he saw and heard during his nap in the courtroom, Olympa's whereabouts remained a mystery, while news related to him kept popping up.

This made the young master begin to suspect that Fontaine was deliberately trying to harm him.

"No, I never even considered it. I just found something strange while investigating the scene."

As he spoke, Yu Jin showed the bottle he had picked up to the young master.

"What? You've switched to collecting scrap metal?"

"I've always been collecting recyclables, so how can you say I've changed careers?"

"What? You actually collect scrap metal?!"

"boom!"

Yu Jin slammed the young master's face into the table with a punch, so this kid was deliberately trying to provoke him.

“Take a good look. Doesn’t it look familiar?” Yu Jin rotated the bottle a few times, and the remaining liquid inside gathered together, making it easier to see the differences.

"Um……"

Upon hearing this, the young master stopped his antics, picked up the glass bottle, and placed it under the light.

The light shone through the liquid in the bottle, revealing a deep blue glow. Upon seeing this, the young master's pupils constricted.

"Where did this thing come from? It's exactly the same seawater as the whale in my dream!"

The young master stood up, looking utterly shocked.

He had always thought that the things in his dreams were just metaphors, but he never expected to see seawater that was exactly the same as the ocean in his dream.

Does this mean that the ocean seen in a dream is not just a dream, but something that actually exists?

For a moment, the young master thought of many things.

"Snapped!"

"Why are you all so agitated?"

The door opened, and Ivers walked in. He asked, half worried and half wary.

If the young master decides to break out, the Court of Law Enforcement probably won't be able to stop him.

"It's nothing, I'm just too excited to hear that I can get a reduced sentence," Yu Jin said, handing the glass bottle to Iverson.

"Take a look at what's inside. Does it remind you of anything?"

"This does not."

Ivers shook his head. Most of the Fontaines had never seen the primordial seawater, and Ivers was no exception. In his view, it was just seawater with added fluorescent agents.

"Now that you've seen it, this thing can dissolve a person."

"What?"×2

Both the young master and Ivers were taken aback.

"To be precise, it's about dissolving you Fontaines. Give me your hand."

Without a word, Yu Jin grabbed the hands of the young master and Ivers. He split the water droplet in the bottle in two, dripping one half onto Ivers' fingernails and the other half onto the young master's hand.

As expected, Ivers' fingernails dissolved and developed pits, while the young master's remained completely unharmed.

"This, this, this..."

Looking at the pits on his fingernails, Ivers was momentarily speechless.

He closed his eyes and pondered for a while before taking a deep breath and saying:

"Hmph...maybe it's some kind of potion, and those with the Eye of God are immune to them?"

"The medicine wouldn't have such a strong chain reaction. If I hadn't been watching, any of you who got even a tiny bit of this stuff on you would have dissolved."

Yu Jin collected the fetal water from the table and spoke slowly.
