[Looking at you, have you remembered something?]
Momoshiki in the Kamui Dimension stopped eating melons and watching the show, his gaze focused on Furina now.
He saw her sitting limply in her seat, her head lowered in thought for a moment, even the ahoge on her head drooped powerlessly, looking very pitiful.
"Hmm... I..."
Furina's lips moved slightly, seeming to want to say something, but it was stuck in her throat, unable to make a sound.
[Don't be like this, I'm still here.]
The debate on the judge's bench continued, but Lumine and the others were pressing Callas all the way, the dawn of victory was in sight.
Clorinde was still maintaining order as usual, she didn't care about the content of the trial, she only cared about her duty.
Neuvillette's Melusine assistant was diligently recording the entire trial process and details everywhere.
Everyone seemed to be very busy...
But why was there no sound at all?
Furina suddenly felt that she couldn't hear, and couldn't see clearly, the entire opera house became blurred.
She seemed to have fallen into deep confusion.
[Alas...]
Looking at Furina's appearance, Momoshiki was a little helpless, stood up from the pile of books, and stretched.
[After this trial is over, I'll take you to see her, how about that? It's good to ask everything clearly.]
As soon as these words came out, Furina's always dim pupils flickered slightly, a glimmer of light appeared!
Right!
Ask everything clearly! Ask her what she was planning to do by planning all this!!
"Yeah! I want to see her!!"
Furina gritted her teeth, saying firmly in her heart, even the ahoge on her head regained its vitality, becoming lively and powerful.
[That's right, cheer up.]
"Yeah, thank you, Momoshiki."
Thanking him sincerely, Furina felt that the pressure on her body seemed to be less.
The last time she had this feeling was when she confessed everything to Momoshiki.
She didn't expect to usher in the second time so quickly, and it was directly to question that mysterious mirror person.
Just as she was thinking, this trial also came to an end, Neuvillette declared Lyney and Lynette innocent, and then all the spearheads pointed to the plaintiff.
It was just that the pitiful Lyney and Lynette siblings were involved in the case of stealing state secrets again, and the evidence was conclusive.
She originally thought that the truth was a foregone conclusion, but who knew that two screams suddenly came from the plaintiff's bench, extremely shrill, instantly making everyone present silent.
"Huh?!"
Furina was startled, and quickly looked in the direction of the sound, only to find Callas and Vaughn squatting on the ground, holding their heads in pain.
Then, an incredible scene appeared!
These two people, like butter in a hot pan, turned into water all over their bodies and kept dripping down.
The audience seats suddenly erupted in terrified screams, everyone was frightened, even Lyney and the others were no exception.
It was dissolving!!
Navia subconsciously stood up, but suddenly felt a flash of lightning pass by her.
Clorinde turned into a lightning bolt and rushed to the two, reaching out to pull the two away, but only touched a ball of water.
The two just dissolved into a pool of water, only the clothes on the ground proved that what was in front of them was reality, not an illusion.
"They were silenced?!"
Lumine gripped the railing in shock, never expecting that the people behind the scenes would be so bold, able to kill people in the opera house!
"Extremely arrogant!!"
Neuvillette frowned, knocking his cane violently, and a terrifying pressure instantly swept the entire opera house.
Even the guards outside felt a inexplicable lingering fear, stopping in place, unable to move their legs.
Killing people to silence them under his nose was simply a great humiliation!
"As expected of Uncle Marcel, he's so ruthless..."
Navia said calmly with a hint of heaviness, looking around, and finally saw a familiar guy sitting in an inconspicuous corner.
Her hands couldn't help but clench tightly, her gaze seeming to spit fire.
"All guards seal off the scene! No one is allowed to go out for the time being!"
Neuvillette gave orders loudly, and the pressure also temporarily slowed down, soon, the entire opera house was sealed off again.
The same as last time, the lockdown order had no effect on Furina at all, it was like playing.
It was just that Furina didn't leave the opera house, but took advantage of the guards' inattention and came to a deserted corner.
"Please, Momoshiki."
Furina didn't care about the two being silenced now.
Although it was indeed quite scary, and might even cause nightmares in the middle of the night, there were clearly more important things now, concerning the entire Fontaine!
So she couldn't allow herself to think too much.
[Yeah.]
Momoshiki directly possessed her without hesitation, and then a Yomotsu Hirasaka instantly came to the lower level of the opera house.
As soon as he came out, Momoshiki couldn't help but curiously look around.
He didn't expect it to be like this...
He originally thought it would be high-tech, luxurious, or dilapidated, but the result was similar to Fortress of Meropide, and the area was quite large.
Almost the current room alone was the size of a football field, and there were even many doors.
Of course, there were also many high-tech things in operation as imagined, and even the style was similar to magic, with many Hydro elements and incomprehensible forces floating in the air.
The intersection of different eras, not only didn't produce a sense of disharmony, but even had an unimaginable beauty.
How strange.
"Is this the room Lyney went to at that time?"
Furina looked around nervously, listening to the echoes in her ears, and was also surprised by the decoration here.
But at the same time, she vaguely expected a human voice, but she never heard it.
[It looks like it, I found such a room underground when I was searching, so I came in directly, but there is indeed a cave connecting to the vent in the magic tunnel, right above your head.]
Hearing Momoshiki remind her, Furina looked up.
There was indeed a hole near the ceiling, not big, but if you were agile and slender, you could still pass through normally.
Obviously, Lyney met all these conditions.
"Then where is the core that Lyney mentioned?"
Furina asked, walking towards the nearest door, using force with both hands to push it open.
With a creaking sound, the things inside were nothing more than huge water pipes that she didn't know what they were for, and old iron tables and yellowed papers.
[At the end of the room, that door, you can almost see it after pushing it open, I've felt that there is indeed something inside.]
Hearing Momoshiki say this, Furina bit her lip slightly, and her heart suddenly began to hesitate again.
Was it really okay to go in like this? Would it ruin her original plan?
Why didn't she speak? Did she not want to see herself...
[Alas... you're putting pressure on yourself before you've even seen her?] Momoshiki rubbed his forehead helplessly.
If it was before, he might have played it safe, but since returning from the Honkai universe.
Hehe...
How many stars did the Heavenly Principles have? Could it withstand compressing the entire Teyvat into a black hole? Or a Crimson Spiral the size of a planet?
"Uh... you're right, I haven't even seen her..."
Furina put her hands behind her back a little embarrassed.
She had clearly made a decision, why did she always back down at the critical moment?!!
Taking a deep breath, Furina walked to the door at the end of the room with steps that felt like they weighed a thousand pounds.
This door, for some reason, was like it was specially left open, with a slight gap.
Furina leaned timidly against the door frame, peeking inside quietly, it was blurry, she couldn't see anything, even with the Sharingan, she could only barely see some uniquely shaped machines.
"Momoshiki, what's it like inside?"
[Hmm... how should I say it...]
Momoshiki's Rinnegan observed it again, the scene inside was like the door was wide open, every detail could be easily seen.
A familiar figure that couldn't be more familiar was standing in front of the machine, with her hands behind her back, looking at herself with a smile.
[You'll know when you open the door...]
"But... but..."
Furina leaned powerlessly on the door, feeling like she couldn't push this door open no matter what.
It wasn't that the door was too difficult to open, but that Furina herself had entered a state of hesitation again.
[You're Furina, not some cat, it's just opening a door, what's there to be afraid of?]
"I..."
[Your lips are almost bitten through!]
"Sorry, huff..." Furina took a deep breath, suppressing all the bad mood.
"I shouldn't hesitate."
Momoshiki had helped her so much, wouldn't it be too chilling to give up at this time...
Thinking this, Furina suddenly mustered her strength and pushed the door open.
With a creak, the scene inside was also fully revealed.
An incredibly huge and uniquely shaped machine was constantly devouring all visible energy around it, the center emitting a dazzling blue light, looking very strange.
There were many pipes on the machine that seemed to be connected to various rooms, each pipe was extremely thick and strong, looking like it could hold a lot of energy.
But Furina didn't have the mood to appreciate these.
At this moment, her gaze was fixed on a figure gathered by energy bodies.
It looked like... too much like...
Except for the clothes, everything else was simply exactly the same as herself!
Furina blinked blankly, stunned in place for a moment, not knowing what to do.
There was no mistake! It was that guy in the mirror!
"You finally came, Furina~"
Focalors' tone had relief, and gratitude, a bitter and extremely gentle smile on her face.
"I..."
Seeing Focalors speak first, Furina didn't know how to answer for a moment, many, many words she wanted to say were instantly stuck in her throat, feeling uncomfortable.
Seeming to see Furina's current embarrassment, Focalors chuckled lightly, putting her right hand on her chest and saying:
"Don't be nervous, Furina, you haven't done anything wrong, your choices are all correct."
"Huh?! C-can I come here?"
Seeing that this mysterious person didn't blame her for breaking the plan, Furina's breathing became a little rapid, feeling grateful, and eagerly wanting to know many, many answers...
"I understand that you have many questions you want to ask me."
Focalors still had a meaningful and extremely gentle smile, making people confused but also feel at ease.
"But before explaining everything, I would also like to thank the person who brought about the change in the prophecy."
Saying this, Focalors looked at Furina with a smile.
[Interesting.]
Momoshiki's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise in the Kamui Dimension.
He could clearly feel that Focalors was looking at himself through Furina's eyes.
"Thank you, Mr. Momoshiki~"
