Chapter 25 Only the dead will shut up forever.
The next morning around 7 a.m., Qiuhe went to the Gray River and asked Navia to make him a cake dedicated to the Water Goddess.
After receiving the cake, I headed to the Moman Palace. Previously, I had been in a rush and hadn't paid much attention to my surroundings, but this time I slowly approached Sedna and took out the pass I had.
Sedna, recognizing the same child from that day, said nothing. On her way to Fryna's room, she enjoyed the surrounding scenery and also encountered Navelette.
“Mr. Navelette, this child has a pass to see Lady Fenina. I brought him here to see Lady Fenina.” Navelette also seemed puzzled upon hearing this.
Why would Fryna give the pass to such a child? Vilette took the pass from Sedna and looked at it.
Upon discovering that the pass was indeed issued by Funina herself, she said, "Little Qiuhe, before you go to see Ms. Funina, could you please come to my office first?"
When Qiuhe came last time, Vilette was probably not in the Momang Palace. Because of the pass, he didn't need to report to him. But this time, he ran into him.
Inside Navigette's office at the Momong Palace
"Little Qiuhe, is there something you want to see Ms. Funina about? If you just want to tell her something, I can pass on your message."
Navelette sat opposite Qiuhe, legs crossed and hands on her lap, her eyes fixed on him. Qiuhe then took out a cake and placed it on the desk.
"I've come to see Lady Funina about something. I'd like to meet her in person, and this cake is what I brought for her."
Looking at the dedication to the water god on the table—the same design that Funina had made herself—Navilet asked, "Could you tell me what it is about first?"
Seeing Vilette's attitude, and knowing he wouldn't be let go without explaining the situation, Qiuhe's eyes caught sight of several documents on the desk. At the top of the documents were two words: "Girl."
Seeing the child staring at the document, Navelette tidied it up and placed it aside, covering the writing.
But when Akikawa saw the words "girl," he immediately thought of the serial disappearances of girls, realizing that Vilette was already investigating the matter.
Navelette then continued, "Young Qiuhe, is there something you're having trouble saying?" Qiuhe thought for a moment and decided to speak.
She was just about to speak, thinking she was simply there to learn about Fontaine's laws and it didn't matter who she talked to, when the door to Villette's office slowly opened, and Funina, still sleepy, rubbed her eyes and walked in.
"Who are you talking to, Violet?" Funina opened her eyes and saw Qiuhe. "Qiuhe, what brings you here?" Funina happily walked over when she saw Qiuhe.
Qiuhe smiled when he saw Funina and handed her the special Water God edition cake. Funina's eyes lit up when she saw it was a cake.
And it was her favorite one, so she sat down next to Qiuhe and started eating the little cake. Violet watched the two of them chatting so happily and remembered that when Funina came back that day, she seemed to be in a much better mood.
"Lady Furina, I've come to learn about the laws of Fontaine."
Fontaine Law
"Yes, that's right."
Qiuhe also considered asking others, but felt that asking Funina would be more reliable, since she was the one who enacted these laws and knew them all.
Then, Qiuhe listened as Funina explained all of Fontaine's laws, including the rule that flying objects could not be released three days before the ban. Qiuhe pondered this for a moment.
He then looked at Navilette and asked, "Mr. Navilette, according to the juvenile protection law, what kind of crime would I have to commit to be sent to Mero Petersburg?"
Naviette didn't understand why he asked that, but after thinking for a moment, she replied, "According to the juvenile protection law, unless you commit murder or attempt to commit murder, you will be sent to Mello Petersburg to serve your sentence according to Fontainebleau law."
Qiuhe thought for a moment, recalling that Leosley had been sent to Mero Petersburg as a child for murdering his adoptive parents. "What if I openly provoke and humiliate His Excellency the Supreme Judge?"
Navelette frowned and said, "Then we will contact your family to resolve this issue." Akikawa smiled with satisfaction upon receiving this response.
He then stood up, bid farewell to Frynn, and left Momang Palace, beginning his journey to Mondstadt. The trip to Mondstadt took a full week.
Throughout the week, Akikawa had a constant feeling that someone was following him, but he didn't make any moves to alert them. Finally, he arrived at Springvale in Mondstadt.
Qiuhe stopped here, now very far from Fengdan. He then activated his Void Rift Intersection technique to sense the surrounding life forms.
Finally, not far away, Qiuhe sensed the presence of the Fools' Clan – it was the Mirror Maiden. Previously, he had only been able to possess a living being through physical contact.
At this moment, Qiuhe wanted to try to forcibly transfer his consciousness from such a distance into the body of the Hidden Mirror Lady. As Qiuhe continuously increased the energy of the intersecting void,
The woman in the mirror watched this scene from afar, unaware of what was happening. Then she paused, feeling as if something was burrowing into her body, and her consciousness began to blur.
At this moment, the Hidden Mirror Lady's body suddenly erupted with powerful water elemental energy, which continued to spread outwards, as if resisting something.
Qiuhe also kept his eyes tightly shut, continuously increasing the pressure of the intersecting voids. The Hidden Mirror Lady was also clutching her head, feeling immense pain, as if her body was being possessed.
Then, the Hidden Mirror Maiden stopped struggling. When Qiuhe opened his eyes again, he found himself inside the Hidden Mirror Maiden's body. It seemed he had succeeded again; this method was working.
However, Qiuhe was also puzzled at this moment. He hadn't initially felt he possessed such strong abilities, especially after absorbing a large amount of the dragon's dark purple energy.
It felt like the skill "Sky Rift Crossing" had become stronger, but it didn't seem to be this strong back then. Qiuhe was wondering exactly when that happened.
But as Qiuhe was thinking, she suddenly felt a bit dizzy and unsteady, as if her energy was leaking out. Qiuhe covered her head, not knowing what was happening, feeling as if her body was resisting her.
Qiuhe had been fighting against the consciousness within her body with sheer willpower, but in the end, she felt she couldn't hold on any longer.
It was as if I was about to be squeezed out of this consciousness, which forcibly transferred my consciousness into the depths of this body's consciousness.
Qiuhe slowly opened his eyes, and there stood the Lady of Hidden Mirrors before him. The Lady of Hidden Mirrors also slowly opened her eyes and saw Qiuhe. She looked around and found that it was pitch black all around her.
"No need to look anymore, this is the space of consciousness. It's been following me all this way, how does it feel?"
"Hmph, Lady Kujavina is right, you really are suspicious. Since you've already discovered it, there's nothing more to say. We'll take you back to Lady Kujavina for her to deal with now."
"May His Majesty's glory protect me!"
Although this place is deep within the consciousness of the Hidden Mirror Maiden, Qiuhe has possessed her entire body, making the Hidden Mirror Maiden here merely a consciousness entity, no match for Qiuhe.
Qiuhe was now in control, forcing Cangjing Shinu into a retreat. "Uh! How come you're so strong, kid!"
"You don't need to know these things anymore; they're useless even if you take them to hell."
Qiuhe didn't kill him, but instead severed one of his arms with a single stroke, slowly torturing him. "Ah! Wait, stop! Stop! I surrender, I surrender!"
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Qiuhe continued, "If you want me to spare your life, tell me what Kujavina told you."
"Lady Kujavina told me to follow you, saying that you definitely have a problem, and that I should immediately go back and report to her if I discover anything wrong with you."
After hearing this, Qiuhe asked again, "Do you understand seven languages?" Zangjing Shinu shook her head, indicating that she only understood six languages and not Inatsume.
Upon hearing this, Qiuhe murmured, "So that's how it is." "You...you know now, can you let me go?" Qiuhe then smiled slowly.
"Big sister~ do you know who in the world is best at keeping secrets?" Before Cangjing Shinu could speak, Qiuhe beheaded her with a single stroke.
"Only the dead shut up forever!"
