Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

"only……"

Arecino calmly looked at Linni and said, "Did you pass on the words I entrusted to you to Su Hao?"

Arecino was calm; she asked as if it were something very ordinary.

But these words made Lin Ni break out in a cold sweat, because he... had only handed over half of the information; the other, most crucial half was not given to Su Hao.

“Father.” Lynette intended to explain, since no one had expected that Su Hao would only stay in Mondstadt for a day.

Linni made the right choice at the time, but then she encountered Su Hao, who didn't play by the rules.

"never mind."

Arecino raised her hand, interrupting Lynette, and said calmly, "Let's just leave it at that."

"Because it's too late to say anything now, and as planned, Su Hao has successfully arrived in Fontainebleau."

Arecino asked Linni to pass on her message to Su Hao, ultimately hoping to get him to come to Fontaine.

If he comes, everything will be fine; if he doesn't... Arecino will definitely punish Linni.

"Thank you, Father." Linni breathed a sigh of relief, then said seriously, "But Father, what about Mondstadt?"

They arrived in Fontaine today, but shortly after arriving, they received news that they were to impersonate the father and go to receive the Mondstadt delegation in order to create an alibi.

Due to time constraints, Linni could only impersonate his father to receive the Mondstadt delegation.

Pretending to be her father, after a brief exchange with the Mondstadt delegation, Linni dared not make a decision on her own and could only invite the Mondstadt delegation to Fontaine to meet and discuss the matter.

Jeanne, the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, wanted to refuse, stating that since the person had been handed over to the Fatui Executor, their contract had ended.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need to visit Fontainebleau.

They only stayed in Fontainebleau for a short time before choosing to leave.

Linni remained outwardly unperturbed, stating that she would let the Knights of Favonius act as they pleased, since the contract had already ended and she didn't care at all.

But... Linni was actually quite panicked inside, because in his eyes, the Knights of Favonius were also an important part of the plan, and he couldn't just let them leave like that.

“It’s alright, I have my own plans.” Arecino indicated that it was fine, because she had her own plans. She calmly looked at Linnie and Linette and said, “It’s just that the plan is about to begin.”

When is your performance scheduled to begin?

"The decree ordered that the Cardinal must conduct an investigation."

Arecino's expression was very serious as she spoke about the Cardinal of Decree, a machine created by [Fukaros].

She felt it necessary to investigate further; she had already investigated most of the other matters.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ni said very seriously, "According to the current schedule, the performance can be arranged to begin in about three days."

"At that time, Lynette and I will be in charge of investigating and ordering the cardinals to make a ruling."

At this point, Linni appeared exceptionally confident. As a great magician, pulling off some tricks during a performance was a piece of cake for him.

"And..." Arecino looked at Linni and continued to instruct, "The serial girl disappearance case is also entrusted to you for investigation."

"You can use all the power of the Fools here in Fontaine to find the real culprit within a week."

Arecino was calm; in her view, it wouldn't be difficult for her children to find the real culprit in the serial disappearances of teenage girls.

“Yes, Father.” Linni agreed immediately, feeling that solving a case was much simpler than contacting the Cardinal of Decree.

Arecino nodded with satisfaction.

"Father, why are we investigating this case?"

At this point, Linnie asked Arecino why she was investigating the case.

He had heard about the serial disappearances of teenage girls before, but recently, no victims had been reported.

No, I should say... ever since the death of the previous president of the Rose Society, there has been no progress in the serial disappearances of girls.

There are even rumors circulating that the serial disappearances of girls are actually related to the president of the Rose Thorn Society.

But the rumor spread quickly and was also quickly suppressed, because quite a few people had benefited from the appointment of the president of the Rose Association.

Those people admitted that Carles might indeed be the murderer, but he could not be a suspect in the series of missing girls.

“Because we need the help of the Rose Society.” Arecino looked at Linni calmly and said, “While you were on your mission, I already sent someone to discuss it with the current president of the Rose Society.”

"She said that as long as we catch the real culprit in the serial disappearances of girls, then we can cooperate with you to solve the prophecy."

When Arecino said this, Linnie, Linette, and Fimi all looked very surprised.

The Fools' desire to cooperate with the Rose Society is not a recent development; after all, no matter what...

The Fools are not a local force in Fontaine, and given their reputation... well, you all know what I mean.

Therefore, cooperating with the Rose Society is a crucial matter in order to resolve the prophecy crisis and better protect the people of Fontainebleau.

In any case, the reputation of the Rose Society, while not as influential as it once was, is certainly far better than that of the Fools.

With the help of the Rose, the Fools' operations in Fontainebleau will, if not go smoothly, at least be relatively unimpeded.

But why did Rose suddenly change her mind?

"Could there be some kind of conspiracy involved, Father?" Linette immediately suspected that there might be some kind of conspiracy behind Rose's sudden cooperation with them.

After all, unless the Rose Society is bored and has nothing better to do, how could they possibly cooperate with their own Fools?

“I…I also think this might be a conspiracy,” Fimini said, a rare occurrence for her.

The Rose Society had initially refused to cooperate with the Fools, but now they've suddenly relented, indicating that cooperation is possible...

No matter how you look at it, there's something wrong with this.

"Linnie, what do you think?" Aregino didn't answer the two children's questions immediately, but instead asked Linnie, to see what her chosen successor thought about the matter.

“Me?” Linni said calmly, stroking his chin. “Actually, I don’t think it matters, because Navia from the Rose Society is a good person.”

"And she had absolutely no reason to play us for fools. I think she most likely sensed our sincerity, or rather... she simply wanted to use the Fools to find out the truth from back then."

"Most importantly, regardless of the final outcome, it's a very profitable experience for her."

Yes, that's the key point. Linni's considerations were very thorough: would everything the Fools did benefit Fontaine or Rose of the Wild?

Solving the serial disappearances of girls or trying to resolve the Fontaine prophecy would be of great benefit to Fontaine and Rose.

Whether from a rational or emotional perspective, Navia should not refuse the Fatui's request.

Or rather... it's already quite incredible that she was able to hold out for so long.

"Yes, that's right."

Arecino agreed with Linni's reasoning, saying calmly, "But the question is whether she is truly willing to cooperate with us, which is very important."

"The reputation of the Fools is not good, which makes it uncertain whether many people or forces will genuinely cooperate with us."

"They feared that the fools would discard them after they had served their purpose, and even that the fools might do something terrible because of it."

Linette and Fimini remained silent, knowing the nature of their organization, which is why they couldn't help but suspect that the Rose Organization might have some ulterior motive.

“But it doesn’t matter.” Arecino looked at her children calmly and said indifferently, “If Rose will cooperate obediently, there will be no problem.”

"If she intends to betray us, then the Rose Thorn Society will cease to exist."

Arecino is a very easy person to talk to, but only if... others also talk to her nicely and don't have any ulterior motives.

If such a person exists, then unless they possess strength comparable to a demon god, Arecino will not easily let them go.

"Alright, kids, go and get to work."

Arecino also stood up and said calmly, "I have some things to take care of now."

Linni and the other two bowed to Arecino, saying, "Father, you've had a long journey. Please take care."

Arecino left the conference room and went to a secluded spot to look at the still-unhealed wound on her hand.

“Su Hao…” A strange light flickered in Arecino’s eyes.

On the other side, inside the Mo Mang Palace.

Su Hao, who was being nagged by Arecino, looked at Funina, who was hiding under the covers, with a speechless expression and said, "Even if you were attacked, you don't have to be this scared, do you?"

Yes, at this moment, after returning to Momang Palace, Funina was trembling under the covers.

Yes, she was really trembling, and the whole bed was shaking along with her.

This is not an exaggeration at all.

Ella and Black Ella were also quite surprised, never expecting that the nominal water goddess Funina would be like this after encountering such a thing.

The fact that they were able to remain calm immediately shows that this assassination attempt was nothing! It was no big deal at all!

The next thing he did was return to Mo Mang Palace, then huddle under the covers, trembling all over.

Yes, she's been shaking for about an hour and she's still shaking, which shows how scared she is.

"I...I didn't want to either, but that feeling really scared me."

Fu Ningna's voice trembled slightly as she spoke. She was indeed terrified tonight. If Su Hao hadn't arrived in time, she didn't know what would have happened to her.

That was terrifying! That scene was absolutely horrifying!

For hundreds of years, Funina had never felt this way, or rather... she had never imagined that she, as a goddess, would be assassinated.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Black Ella said expressionlessly. It's just being attacked.

This Fu Ningna is too timid. Any soldier on Zhi Dong's side is probably tougher than her.

"Does it hurt?" Su Hao asked gently.

"It doesn't hurt, really." Funina poked her head out, touched her flat chest, and said with some doubt, "It's that strange feeling that scares me quite a bit."

"How should I put it, it's like... a hand reaching inside your body, as if it's groping for something."

"But strangely, I didn't feel any sense of being hurt. It was that feeling of suffocation that terrified me."

As she said this, Funina trembled again, feeling quite frightened.

"Dong dong dong."

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Funina changed her voice in an instant, becoming quite authoritative.
