"Oh? Then what can you do to me?"

Holmes chuckled and asked nonchalantly.

"I don't intend to do anything to you." Fenina shook her head gently and said calmly, "I don't like myself, but it is obviously a stupid, meaningless and time-wasting shameful behavior to keep being hard on myself."

"..."

In fact, just now I really had a moment where I wanted to test the depth of my past self.

Holmes seemed to suddenly recall something funny and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Funina's face was gloomy, and she asked coldly: "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, just a kind of nostalgia for my past self!" Holmes looked at Fernina with a smile and asked, "Fernina, let me ask you. Why do you want to protect Fernina?"

"..."

Fenina looked coldly at Holmes who asked the question knowing the answer, and did not choose to answer out loud, because she thought her answer was not presentable and would make her appear too weak.

"Because you think that Fernina is very similar to you, isn't it?" Holmes looked at Fernina who was still obsessed with her inner face, and explained with a calm smile, "The real you is just like Fernina. You look very strong to outsiders, but you can't hide your inner weakness."

"You want to protect not only Furninna, but also yourself who was weak back then." Holmes waved his hand and said calmly, "Before coming to Teyvat, we were all alone and like rats crossing the street, jumping back and forth between the orphanage and the adoptive family like a ball, and we were not accepted by people."

"We are like orphans forgotten by the world, wandering alone in every corner of this world, living a precarious life with no food to eat. If it weren't for the occasional charity and help from kind people, I'm afraid we would have starved to death on the street or frozen to death on the roadside..."

"But these are nothing. What we cannot accept the most is that we seem to have been living in the lies of our loved ones. We have been abandoned by our loved ones..."

Holmes lowered his head and spoke softly, lost in memories of painful experiences in the past.

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a cold shout: "Shut up——!"

Fnina suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of anger and unwillingness, but more of it was unspeakable sadness and pain. She bit her lips tightly and clenched her hands into fists, as if she wanted to vent all her emotions.

But in the end, she loosened her fists weakly and gradually calmed down.

"I believe it now. We might really be the same person." Fenina gradually began to accept the fact that Holmes and she were the same person.

Furnina took a deep breath, slowly raised her head and looked at Holmes and asked, "I want to know how you and I came to the continent of Teyvat?"

"..."

Holmes suddenly burst into an inexplicable laugh, and that smile seemed to contain endless meaning and emotion.

She spoke slowly: "The reason why we came to this world was not something that happened by chance, but was carefully arranged by fate."

Holmes raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and his voice was so gentle that it seemed to blend into the air: "The so-called fate is given such a name because it is full of variables and unknowns, difficult to understand and powerless to change. We were born in this mysterious land of Teyvat, which was actually destined at the beginning of our lives."

Then, her tone became a little heavy: "However, the fact that I find most unacceptable is that even coming to this world itself is not completely under our control."

At this point, Holmes' eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and sadness.

"..."

Fernina raised her head slightly, stared at Holmes, and said softly as the breeze, "Let's sit down and talk calmly about the crucial information, Holmes."

There was a firm and wise light in her eyes, as if she was ready to face whatever might happen next. Holmes felt Fernina's determination, and she nodded silently to show her agreement.

At this tense moment, the air seemed to freeze. There was silence all around, and only the breathing of the two people could be heard clearly.

"It's great for me that you think this way." Holmes smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of the monster Erinus that wreaked havoc in Fontaine during the Kanrea catastrophe?"

"Of course." Fenina nodded slightly and said noncommittally, "Life forms like Melusin were born from the flesh and blood of Erinace, and their consciousness originated from the consciousness of the humans who died in the explosion."

"Logically, that should be the case." Holmes nodded and smiled, "But in this world, Melusin is an intelligent life form created by Erinus and I."

Funina's expression froze, and she asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Holmes looked at Fernina and said softly, "In the course of history that you and I know, Melusin originated from the huge explosion that occurred in the flesh and blood of Erinus when Alan, Marianne and others were chasing Rene and Jacob."

"But because of my personal reasons, history has undergone some subtle differences, and the history of the birth of Melusin is much earlier than before."

"It is true that Erinace is the creation of the witch [Gold] Rhinedot. Regardless of her behavior, she has no ill intentions, and her own strength is not bad."

"So I separated Erinus' flesh and consciousness to prevent Erinus from causing trouble again after his resurrection."

"Erinus gave Meluseen a body, and I gave Meluseen consciousness." Holmes chuckled and said, "Therefore, Meluseen has my power and an aura similar to mine."

Holmes sorted out his words and explained to Fenina calmly: "Under my intervention, the four children of Narcissus Cross Academy were not adopted by different families. The four of them grew up under the protection of the dean, the pure water fairy Lilith."

"Now they each have their own duties in the Fontaine Academy of Sciences and the Chasing Shadow Court, and have not parted ways due to different ideas. However, Rene and Jacob have discovered the secrets of the Fontaine people, so one day they may end up on opposite sides."

Fernina frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "How did you get the information about Rene and Jacob during the seal?"

"It's very simple, Furnina." Holmes said calmly and naturally, "When your perception of water elements reaches a certain level, all water elements in the world can become your eyes and ears, your clones."

"The moment I possessed you in this form, I had already obtained information about Fontaine's current situation." Holmes frowned slightly, then said softly, "It is precisely because of this that I observed a certain phenomenon, and I must remind you of this."

Fernina frowned and asked, "What did you observe?"

Holmes looked straight into Fenina's eyes and said calmly, "At the place where Erinus fell, there were traces of the Second Doctor of the Fatui. You should be able to understand what the Doctor represents."

Fonina's pupils shrank slightly, and a hint of confusion flashed across her face.

"Why is [Doctor] there? I have already sent Watling and others to investigate, but why haven't I received any news?"

"This is normal! The communication equipment of this era has a time difference. In addition, the opponent is the doctor. Watling and Carolee may have discovered some clues, but it is possible that the information has not yet been transmitted here."
