Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

After confirming the problem with Melo Petersburg, Ying and Paimon quickly returned to the surface along the same route. They were going to meet up with Navia and Finina to review the current situation.

If her guess was correct, the residents of Fontaine City now... might no longer be the "people" in their perception.

Zuo Xi can make machines disguise themselves as Leosli and Sigwen, so he has the ability to make machines disguise themselves as ordinary Fontaine citizens.

It is not known what the ratio is yet, but it should not have been completely replaced. Otherwise, Zuo Xi's next move would have already begun, and Fontaine City would not be so calm on the surface.

But she didn't know how much time was left, so every second counted.

But as soon as she arrived at Fontaine, she realized something was wrong.

Silence, deathly silence... as silent as that of Merope-Petersburg.

Although there were no signs of fighting, there was no sign of a human being anywhere.

Ying and Paimeng skillfully broke into the residents' homes and searched one after another, and found that almost all the houses were covered with dust, which meant that no one had lived there for a long time.

But it was clear that people could still be seen on Fontaine Street recently... There were clearly people there, but no signs of life, which almost confirmed her guess.

But why? What on earth was Zuo Xi doing this for?

It didn't take her too much time to go to Melo Petersburg. From the time Zuo Xi officially announced the start of the challenge to them, it was only less than a day.

It is impossible that Zuo Xi would only give her such a short time to prepare. That guy would never give a task that cannot be completed!

The continuous abnormal conditions made Ying anxious, and she hurried to the top floor of Mo Mang Palace to try to find Funina to ask what happened. But even Mo Mang Palace was empty, and Funina didn't know where she went.

In an instant, an extremely uneasy feeling surged into Ying's heart, and she suddenly remembered the prophecy:

The sea water will flood Fontaine, and the people of Fontaine will dissolve in the sea, leaving only the water god crying on the throne.

If the sea level rose, they wouldn't be able to notice it while they were at the bottom of the sea. And if everyone dissolved into the water... wouldn't that be exactly the situation where there was no one there now?

This horrifying guess made Ying shudder violently. Without saying a word, she dragged Paimon towards the Opikley Opera House.

"What's wrong?"

Paimeng, who was being dragged by the hand and running, was completely confused and had no idea what was wrong with Ying.

Her face looked ugly from the beginning, and now he was dragging her away without saying a word... Did he discover something?

"There's no time to explain so much, let's go to the Oprykle Opera House!"

Ying was extremely anxious, even though she knew in her heart that if the guess was true, then everything would have been settled at this moment, with no room for maneuver.

"Opiclee Opera House?"

Paimeng was stunned. Why go to the opera house at this time? Could it be that there was some particularly good show in the opera house and everyone went to watch it, so there was no one there?

However, Ying did not explain, but just hurried on. It was not until they boarded the ship to Yiliye Island that Ying had time to explain everything to Paimeng.

"Paimon, do you remember the prophecy? The one that says 'The God of Water is crying alone on the throne'... Apart from the Momang Palace, where else can there be something called a 'throne'?"

"Oh, no wonder we are going to the Oprykle Opera House..."

Paimon suddenly realized and immediately found something wrong.

"That's not right. Isn't that what is described in the prophecy? Ying, why do you think that what is described in the prophecy will happen..."

As he spoke, Paimon's voice gradually became lower and the expression on his face became terrified.

"...No, no way? Ying, you mean...you mean the prophecy has come true? There is no one in Fontaine because...because everyone has..."

Paimeng didn't say anything more, his big eyes were full of fear. Ying didn't say anything else either, just nodded silently, confirming what Paimeng said.

After a while of silence, the boat finally reached Iliye Island. Without saying a word, the two of them rushed towards the opera house.

They also didn't see anyone along the way, which once again made the two of them feel more uneasy and fearful. They rushed into the opera house as fast as they could, bypassing the ticket office and coming to the core.

As soon as they entered, they looked towards Funina's usual exclusive seat, and the scene before them made their hearts skip a beat.

On the throne, Furninna was slumped, her eyes were lifeless, and there were still visible traces of tears on her face.
