Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

Chapter 728: Sounds from the Audience Beneath the Seats

"Ms. March Seven seems very nervous..."

Zuo Xi squinted his eyes and looked at "March 7" who was brought to the magic box by the assistant. The other party's nervousness was obviously not like the nervousness of the audience who were called to the stage. He felt a little excited.

Instead, it looked like a guilty thief who was caught in the act.

"Who is San Yue Qi? Is this lady called San Yue Qi? Zuo Xi, how did you know... Oh! I see... This number plate is not random, right? Sure enough, magic must have a backer!"

Paimeng's curious baby nature kicked in and he kept asking Zuo Xi questions, completely forgetting the panic he felt when he was about to be spoiled.

However, I have to say that Paimeng is sometimes really lucky. He unexpectedly guessed the truth that the number selector is not random.

"Don't worry about who March Seven is, but the number selector is definitely not random. But as for the stooge... that's not necessarily true. Look, the lady who was chosen looked very nervous. If the stooge was chosen in advance, this performance would be too real."

It is difficult to control subtle facial expressions of a person subjectively, and many people are not even aware of their subconscious expressions when they are nervous.

If this young lady's nervousness was all acted out, then her acting skills were even better than those of Funina, who had been acting for five hundred years.

In comparison, Zuo Xi is more inclined to believe that the other party is indeed unaware of the situation.

As for why the number selector was tampered with but still selected an uninformed audience member... Haha, Zuo Xi had a feeling that a good show might be about to begin.

Although she is very pitiful, no one stipulates that Zuo Xi must save her... Poor unknown Miss "March 7", if you want to hate someone, then hate the person who designed all this.

"Yeah, if we pick someone who knows nothing, then randomness won't matter... Hmm... Could it be that the special seat is actually this one, and it doesn't matter who sits on it?

For example, is there some kind of mechanism or positioning device on that seat, or is there a switch on it that will only be triggered when no one is sitting there? "

Paimon seemed to have a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized something, and he gave a series of guesses.

Zuo Xi looked at Paimeng in surprise, and the shocked expression on his face at this moment was absolutely authentic.

Did Paimeng take the wrong medicine today? How can he be so smart! Are those inferences just now really something that a guy with Paimeng's brain capacity can infer?

Is it possible for Paimon to understand the logical relationship between machines? You are not Paimon, who are you?

"You, what's that expression on your face? Even if I guessed wrong, you wouldn't look at me like that, right?"

Paimeng felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Zuo Xi's surprised expression. What was going on? Isn't it normal to guess wrong? Why was he so surprised... Could it be that she actually guessed right?

Paimeng, with the fire of hope ignited, looked at Zuo Xi with shining eyes, and then the fire of hope was ruthlessly extinguished.

"No, I guessed it wrong... But, never mind... Let's just enjoy the magic show."

The magic show has now reached the countdown stage, which is sixty numbers. During these sixty numbers, Linny must complete his own task and successfully complete the magic show.

Linny only had about thirty seconds to operate, which also included the time to change clothes.

Without special training, it would be difficult for ordinary people to complete it even if they knew the inside story and had the help of props.

The advantage of counting down is that even in the special underground structure, the voices of so many people can help Linny accurately control his remaining time.

In addition, under the cover of the countdown sound, he only needed to be careful while running underground to avoid being easily discovered.

"Yes, yes, that's the speed. Keep it up. Okay, after the countdown, we'll meet at the box across the street."

The countdown began, and Linny turned around and entered the magic box on the stage. With his action, the audience who were counting down seemed to start to get nervous.

When people's attention is distracted by other things, even actions that do not require active control will be affected.

For example, if you think of something while walking, you will slow down involuntarily; if you think too deeply while eating, you may even stop unconsciously.

The same is true when counting down. Although the individual rhythm is unlikely to affect the overall rhythm, if everyone slows down, the overall rhythm will be greatly slowed down.

As a magician, this should be a method that Linny is very familiar with. It just so happens that the more time he has for this operation, the better.

Linny, who entered the magic box, jumped down the tunnel as soon as he entered, just as Zuo Xi predicted, then ran straight to the ventilation duct below and began his time-sensitive exploration under the stapler.

Linnett took his original position and worked with the assistant to create the illusion that he had been in the magic box all this time.

At the same time, the magic boxes on both sides began to move in an orderly manner according to the set track and speed. In about twenty-three seconds, the accident was going to happen.

"Mr. Linney, are you still there? Are you ready?"

Twenty seconds later, the assistant timed the interaction with "Linny" in the magic box, while Linnette, who was dressed as Linny in the box, began to respond to the assistant outside with the audio that had been recorded long ago.

At this point, basically everyone, including the few people he knew, would think that Lini was still in the magic box on the stage. Their plan was already half successful at this point... if there were no unexpected events.

"I feel like Linnie isn't in a hurry at all... Zuo Xi, what do you think?"

Paimon flew over Violet and came to Zuo Xi, but Zuo Xi grabbed her, covered her mouth and made a gesture to keep quiet.

"Shh...listen carefully."

This action not only made Paimon subconsciously shut up and start listening, but also made Navilette next to him, Ying who was one seat away, and Sandone next to him all pay attention.

Because Zuo Xi started counting down.

"Three, two, one..."

"Bam—"

When the countdown ended, a muffled sound that was not loud but could be heard clearly came from somewhere, attracting the attention of several people.

Just as the countdown ended, the voice came out. It was obviously this voice that Zuo Xi wanted them to pay attention to.

"What is this sound?"

Paimeng looked around and spoke cautiously - because she was not sure whether what Zuo Xi asked her to listen to was the strange sound just now.

"It's coming from below the stage... Is that kid okay? Haha, you don't look like you're okay... It must be some poor idiot who's going to get into trouble again."

Sandonie and Zuo Xi had been together for so many years, and she knew all of his habits very well. As soon as she saw him pretending to be mysterious, she knew that this guy was secretly doing something bad again to satisfy his evil taste of watching the fun.

This is fine. If it was planned by him, then at least he can ensure that nothing will happen to his people... The rest doesn't matter. I can just watch the fun.

"Under the stage... Is it really okay? There shouldn't be anyone down there at this time... Or has Linnie already gone down?

But he was still talking in the box just now..."

Ying was much more conscientious, and was still worried about whether Linni and his sister had had an accident. But when she thought about the muffled sound, Linni should still be in the box, so he should be fine.

Could it be Linnet?

"Don't worry about them, at least not now... Instead of that, remember the sound just now, you may need it next time."

The muffled sound just now was what really interested Zuo Xi, because in his expectation, this sound should not exist.

Logically speaking, that poor Miss "March Seventh" should have turned into a puddle of water before he counted down to three seconds.

But she was not dissolved by the water in the balloon. Instead, she was so frightened that she kicked the door open. The muffled sound just now was the sound of her kicking the door.

Zuo Xi sensed that the person in the magic box was still there, so out of curiosity, she transformed an "eye" there, just in time to see her about to kick the door, which led to the previous countdown.

If it was just the sound of water, it would be covered up by the countdown, but a loud noise like kicking the door would still be heard to some extent.

This can be used as a memory point, so Zuo Xi asked Paimeng and Ying to remember it.

Because he already knew what the "duel" that was about to take place was about, Ying needed to prepare for what was going to happen next, even though she was still confused.

As for why the unlucky Ms. "March Seventh", who should have turned into a puddle of water, was able to escape, Zuo Xi was not sure the reason yet.

Perhaps it was because she was not from Fontaine, perhaps the person behind the scenes had other purposes, or perhaps there was simply something wrong with the proportion of water in the special potion "Original Fetal Sea", and this proportion could not dissolve a person... In any case, Zuo Xi's plan to make this news public seemed to have failed.

I have to find a way to solve it, or... wait for the next opportunity... No, it seems that's not necessary.

Zuo Xi suddenly felt that Cowell in the mezzanine also came out of the magic box... So that's it, is this his purpose... To ensure that no accidents would happen, he also secretly hid in the magic box.

This guy is really not afraid of death. Isn't he worried that he might accidentally touch the water of the fetal sea and then dissolve?

Anyway, no matter what, we have found a way to make this matter public... Mr. Cowell, since you are a traitor... no, should we say you are an undercover agent?

It's all the same...

Since he has done such a thing, there is no reason to complain about others using the same method against him, right? For the sake of the people of Fontaine's vigilance... please be a "real case".

Zuo Xi smiled slightly. Just as he was planning to construct a temporary mechanical body in the special mechanism structure underground to synchronize consciousness and throw Cowell into contact with the fetal sea water, something happened that made him laugh and cry.

……

"Fortunately, my skills haven't declined, otherwise I would be in trouble today. This Lini is just a magician, but he insists on meddling in other people's business... Oh, let's deal with it quickly and find a way to escape."

Lillian knocked Cowell down in no time, while wiping the water stains on her body, she complained while dragging the magician's assistant lying on the ground towards the magic box.

What made Zuo Xi laugh and cry was that this Miss "March Seven" actually knocked down a man of the same size in just a few moves... If you are not a brother, do you have the nerve to be an undercover agent with your level?

You are really bringing shame to the intelligence organization. Fortunately, he is not a real Fatui, otherwise Zuo Xi would have to go to Arecino or Capitano for an explanation... Look at the soldiers you trained, what does it look like if they can't even beat a thief?

As for this Lillian, she is the "Miss March 7" mentioned by Zuo Xi.

She was a thief from Mond. She heard that Linnie's magic show was very good, so she stole a ticket from the scene.

I didn’t expect that Linny could actually see through her work as a thief… That number selector was obviously aimed at her, right?

What about Melo Petersburg? Isn't that the prison in Fontaine? This is clearly a reminder for her not to think about negotiation!

Are you kidding? If she was so honest, she wouldn’t be a thief!

Just as she was thinking about how to escape from the opera house, the balloon above her head suddenly exploded, splashing water all over her.

Because she couldn't see anything in the dark, she kicked the door open in a hurry, and then found herself in an unfamiliar space.

Because she had to consider escaping, this wet dress was obviously too conspicuous... Fortunately, this place seemed to be a backstage or something, and there were many clothes for her to change into.

However, she had just changed her clothes swiftly when she was suddenly attacked from behind. If she had not been good at fighting, she would have been successfully attacked by this person and sent to Melo Petersburg.

The trouble was that the clothes she had just changed into got wet by the water in the vase during the fight... She had to change clothes again, but no one knew how much time she had left.

That Linny will surely come out of the other magic box soon, right? No, no, we have to act faster.

Thinking of this, Lillian didn't even have time to change her clothes, and hurriedly dragged her assistant on the ground to the magic box.

We’ll talk about the clothes later. Let’s put this guy in the magic box first to avoid any accidents.

Well... there is a ventilation hole here, and there is also a mechanism leading to the audience stand and the performance stage.

There is definitely no hope for the stage, as everyone is paying attention there and it is impossible to slip away from there... I can only rely on the audience seats and the ventilation holes.

It seems like someone can be hidden in this closet with little effort. When the group of people were checking, they probably didn't think that someone could be hidden in such a small box, right?

After going through a lot of hardships, Lillian finally dragged her assistant into the magic box.

The accident happened when the remaining water in the magic box soaked the assistant's clothes.
