Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

"He left... Being a suspect is really inconvenient in many situations."

Because the identities of the suspects Linnie and Linnet could not be left at the important crime scene below, the police officer took both of them up after revealing the full inside story of the magic.

However, it seems that there is no restriction on the agents to freely investigate the crime scene below, they are just asked not to destroy the scene at will.

"There's nothing we can do. If they really committed the crime, with the magician's skills and diversionary techniques, it would be easy to erase some clues."

A strange and somewhat mechanical voice came from the end of the secret passage. Everyone looked up and saw an autonomous robot, the most common type in Fontaine, standing at the end of the secret passage.

"Is this also a police officer? It's so advanced... I have never seen such advanced machinery anywhere other than around Zuo Xi... No, no, even around Zuo Xi, I have never seen one that can talk and build itself!"

Paimon's whisper to Ying was doomed to be fruitless. After all, Ying knew no more information about Fontaine than she did, and the two were of the same ilk.

After realizing this, Paimon and Ying looked at Navia at the same time and found that the expressions on each other's faces were equally confused and shocked.

"Logically speaking, Fontaine's autonomous robot shouldn't have self-awareness... Although in certain circumstances, it's possible to install a recorder, but a recording shouldn't be able to interrupt so coincidentally, right?"

From her reaction, Navia obviously didn't know what was going on. At least in her opinion, Fontaine's autonomous robot couldn't talk to them like a normal person.

Could it be that the top leaders of Fontaine have already developed more advanced autonomous robots?

"How rude! Is this how you treat a warm gentleman?"

Seeing them whispering to themselves, Zuo Xi finally couldn't help but throw out another word.

It's fine that Navia couldn't recognize him, but why were Ying and Paimon like this? They knew what his ability was, and he thought that even if they couldn't recognize him at first glance, they would at least react quickly.

"Excuse me, Mr. Officer... Yes, sir, right? I saw you just called yourself a gentleman... If I said something wrong, then, then I apologize!

Anyway, we can investigate here, right? We will be very careful and will not destroy the scene!"

Seeing that the other party seemed a little dissatisfied, Paimeng could only bite the bullet and respond. Although she had communicated with people from many countries, this was her first time communicating with a robot... Speaking of which, are robots divided by gender?

"..."

Although Paimon felt that he was already very polite, the other party still seemed very dissatisfied... It's over, it's over, he's coming over!

"S-Sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Seeing the other party getting closer and closer, Paimonton felt that something was wrong. He apologized and wanted to fly behind Ying to seek shelter.

Then she just wanted to fly backwards, but as soon as she turned around, the robot behind her grabbed her little cloak and pulled her away.

"…Um, can we be calm and not use violence?"

Paimeng, who was being grabbed by the cold body, was sweating profusely. He pretended to be calm and said nice things. The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

"… Honorable Lord [Mechanic], my friend was blind and did not recognize the Water Cube. She offended you for a moment. I apologize to you on her behalf. Please forgive her sins, please?"

In the tense atmosphere, Navia made an unexpected move. She placed her right hand on her heart, put her left hand behind her back and bowed slightly, performing a very standard etiquette.

Silver and Myles quickly did the same thing, and Navia took the lead in apologizing to the autonomous mechas in front.

Although the behavior was somewhat unexpected, Navia's words immediately awakened Ying and Paimon... This robot pair is Zuo Xi, and that guy with a bad taste is scaring people again!

"Zuo Xi! If you scare me again I will ignore you!"

After realizing who was holding her, Paimon angrily hit him twice, but of course her own hand was hurt.

"Zuo, Zuo Xi?"

Navia was first shocked by Paimon's performance, and then was stunned by the name... Zuo Xi, isn't this the executive above?

But, but this robot opposite, isn’t it something like the possessed body of the new god of winter?

After all, wasn't there a report some time ago saying that the new god of winter had the ability to control all machines and Fontaine was facing an unprecedented crisis...so she immediately thought of this possibility.

So, the guy opposite is not the incarnation of God or something like that, but the incarnation of the executive?

Could it be that the executive officer of Zhidong also has the same ability?

I seem to have heard that the Executor's Evil Eye is an extension of the power of the gods... I thought it only referred to the Ice Queen, but does the New God also follow this tradition?

"You...are you really Zuo Xi?"

Navia was still a little unsure, but since everything was just her own guess, she didn't dare to assert whether either possibility was right or wrong, and could only confirm it carefully.

"What else? Does the Lord God you mentioned have any reason to talk to you?"

Because it is a mechanical body, and a gear structure like the Fontaine, Zuo Xi cannot do actions like shrugging.

But the teasing and smile in his tone were still well expressed, and Navia's face turned red when she heard it... What was wrong with her to have such an outrageous idea?

The executive officer was right. How could a high and mighty God be so idle as to come and talk to them? !

"Okay, okay, don't look like you've never seen the world before. It's just consciousness sharing. It's not a particularly advanced ability."

Zuo Xi waved his hand and put Paimon back to the sky. He had just finished talking with Fukaros and found that their investigation progress had reached the tunnel, so he just got a body to investigate together.

He already knew the inside story of Fontaine's prophecy, but he still needed to confirm this aspect. He did not agree with Fukaros's method, but he was not cruel enough to destroy it mercilessly.

After all, in Fukaros's eyes, this was the last straw. No matter how bad Zuo Xi was, he would not cut off the last straw in the eyes of a drowning person.

Speaking of cruelty, Fukaros was much more cruel than him. He didn't even dare to think about how Fu Nina had survived the past five hundred years... He thought that although she was not a god, she must be a demon god's follower or something like that.

Although a little weaker, it is still much better than ordinary people.

When he sensed the curse on the other person, he even wondered if the curse was a manifestation of Fontaine's prophecy. He also considered a more conspiracy-theoretic idea, that is, whether this was a way to transfer the risk so that Funina outside could be the scapegoat.

But he never expected that Funina was actually just a mortal.

She has no divine power, no extraordinary wisdom, and no extraordinary martial arts... The only extraordinary thing about her is the curse that comes with her, and the only function of that curse is to ensure that she lives long enough to pretend to be a god.

Mortals...

I don't know if it was because I remembered myself who hadn't risen yet and lived cautiously. At this moment, Zuo Xi felt a bit of sympathy for the silly Fu Nina.

The most important thing for a mortal to be able to do this is... that guy knows nothing.

She knew nothing, but she persisted for five hundred years just because of someone's words... Uh... she is really stupid.

Ugh……

"You're still pretending, right? You know you're amazing, so stop pretending!"

Zuo Xi was clearly just stating a fact, but some people said he was pretending... Ha, he was pretending! What's wrong with that?

"Okay, Paimon, it's not the first day you've known Zuo Xi... By the way, why are you investigating the case in this way? Didn't Villette say that you are not a suspect? In that case, it doesn't matter if you come down in your original form."

Only Paimeng still had the energy to argue with Zuo Xi. Ying had long been accustomed to this kind of thing. Thanks to Zuo Xi, her threshold of surprise was quite high now. Generally speaking, there were few things that were worth her surprise.

"They are indeed not suspects, but they are not accomplices either, right? Linny and Linnette's identities have not been exposed yet, but it's not something that's difficult to find out.

If I openly intervene in the investigation, the credibility of your investigation results will be greatly reduced...It doesn't matter what the truth is, what matters is that they have reason to doubt it."

Apart from other things, Funina had the resources of an entire country. Although she did not make any profit for herself, she did not fall behind in terms of intelligence.

Under her management, Fontaine has been able to operate steadily for so many years. This is enough to show that although she is just an ordinary person, she still has talent in this area... probably.

In this process, Navillatte was destined not to participate too much. If Funina wanted to hide her identity well, then the person she should avoid the most was Navillatte.

From this, it can be seen that although Finina is a boastful and somewhat silly person, she is at least a qualified ruler and manager.

Therefore, Zuo Xi couldn't be optimistic about how perfectly Linni and Linnite were hiding their secrets, so perfectly that they didn't reveal any information at all.

He could already imagine how triumphant Furninha would be when she revealed Linny and Linnet's identities as a trump card.

Although she probably wouldn't be stupid enough to think that this could shake Ying's psychology - after all, when it comes to her relationship with the Fatui, Ying is basically considered a semi-non-staff member in the eyes of the public.

But this should be enough to create a breaking point and change the views and public opinion of the people of Fontaine. After all, although the reputation of the Fatui has eased slightly recently, the previous report that made people panic will play a guiding role at this time.

If it were revealed at this time that he participated in the entire investigation, it would be difficult to explain in court.

Of course, all of this is based on Zuo Xi's changed mentality. If it was before he understood the situation, he would not bother to care so much.

Be as arrogant as you can. It doesn't matter even if you lose the judgment. On the contrary, you can take this opportunity to send Linny to Mello Petersburg to confirm some things.

Even if you don’t want to put them in jail, that’s fine, they’re duel agents!

He stands on the stage and you can do whatever you want. Is that Villette? Is that Clorinde? Is that the God of Justice?

Let's go together.

However, now that he knew some of the inside stories of the Fontaine prophecy and the various prices some people paid for it, in order to show his respect for those people, he had to slightly abide by this rule that seemed a bit trifling to him.

If not, he is the rule.

"That's right, I almost forgot about the sensitive identity issue... Hehe, so Zuo Xi, are you here to give us a sneak peek?"

Paimeng scratched his head and thought for a while, and found that it seemed to be the case. She thought Zuo Xi didn't participate in the investigation at the beginning because she was too lazy to care, so now it's time to look up the reference answers, right?

"No, that would be so boring."

Zuo Xi shook his head and simply broke Paimeng's unrealistic fantasy.

He has already followed the rules obediently, if you still don't let him have some fun...then whoever wants to do the job can do it.

"Well, I knew you wouldn't be so kind..."

Paimeng didn't feel that disappointed. She just asked casually and didn't expect Zuo Xi to really agree.

"Come to think of it, you called our attention to a muffled sound on the stage before, right? And then there was a scream... Can you at least tell us what happened?

Or is this actually the key part? Revealing it is equivalent to telling us the answer? "

Ying remembered the two obviously unexpected sounds she heard when Zuo Xi deliberately reminded them. The truth behind the muffled sound was still unclear, but the latter one was basically certain to be someone screaming in the tunnel.

Now that I think about it, it should be a female voice. According to the testimony of the staff at the door, no one entered or left the opera house after the magic show started, so the female voice can be basically confirmed to be the voice of the painter.

In other words, at least at that time, the other party was still in the secret passage... This is even more unbelievable, where would people go in such a short time?

Mr. Cowell was also missing. According to Linnie's previous speculation, Cowell might have hidden in the mezzanine for some reason.

Assuming this speculation is correct, it means that Mr. Cowell was most likely in the secret passage during the countdown of sixty.

So, could it be that the two missing people actually met each other? Assuming that this inference is correct and the two disappeared at the same time, is it possible that Mr. Cowell kidnapped the girl?
