Chapter 196: Poor Young Master
The production area of Mello Petersburg.
The clanking sound of parts being processed is the hallmark of this place.
Compared with the workers who were busy producing parts, Ye Yu and the other three wandered leisurely in the production area, seeming a bit out of place.
Their abnormal behavior soon attracted the attention of the guards and supervisors.
"Hey! What are you guys doing?"
The fierce look made Paimon's neck shrink.
"We're looking for... for someone."
"Looking for someone? What are you looking for in the production area? It's working hours in the production area now. If you're looking for someone, come back after get off work."
Without saying a word, Ye Yu threw a silver-white wolf-shaped chest badge and a small stack of tickets to the guard supervisor.
This is the investigation certificate and investigation funds given to them by Leosli.
"We are special investigators appointed by the Duke. We hope you can help us, big brother."
With a two-pronged approach, the investigator immediately and happily went to inform Linnie, without even bothering Yeyu and the others to go look for it in person.
The speed of his expression changing stunned Paimeng.
Ye Yu is indeed an old hand who was invited for tea. She is an expert in handling interpersonal relationships in prison.
After waiting for a few minutes, Linnie came over.
Seeing that it was Yeyu and the others, Lin Ni was obviously relieved.
"Although I guessed you would come to see me, I didn't expect it to be in this way."
"When the security guard shouted at me fiercely just now, I thought I was exposed."
Paimon put his hands on his hips and said, "You entered Mello Petersburg with an ulterior motive, didn't you?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down. You are my saviors. I won't hide anything from you."
"Let's go somewhere else and invite Linnet and Femini along."
……
Linnet, Yeyu and the others have met before.
But this little diver named Femini was the first time they met him.
He looked very shy and didn't even dare to look Ye Yu in the eye when greeting her.
"Okay, now tell me the truth. Last time at the opera house, I didn't even ask you why you went to the basement in the middle of your magic show."
Paimon asked.
"In fact, whether it is the performance at the opera house or entering Mello Petersburg this time, we have only one goal from beginning to end." Linnie said slowly.
"We want to save people, save more people," Linnet explained.
"Save people?" Paimon asked in confusion.
"Yes, remember that prophecy? The waters of the primordial fetal sea proved that humans would indeed dissolve."
"In order to deal with the [Prophecy Crisis], we need to know all the secrets of this country so that we can know how to save everyone."
"Just like solving a crime, you have to follow clues to get to the truth."
Linny's reason was completely different from what Paimon had imagined.
She thought Linny and the others also came for the young master.
"What about the young master? Are you guys not going to care about him anymore?"
"Since you've all sneaked into Mello Petersburg, you must know that the young master is missing, right?"
"Well..." Linnie scratched his head.
"The primary mission our Lord Father has given us is to uncover the secrets of Mello Petersburg. Of course, it would be even better if we could also uncover the cause of the Young Master's disappearance."
Paimon was speechless: "I understand. The young master's disappearance is just an excuse. The servant's real intention is to use diplomatic issues to put pressure on Fontaine, right?"
Linny and Linnet did not deny this.
Ye Yu couldn't help but laugh.
"Thinking about it carefully, the young master is quite pitiful. The person who cares about him the most is actually the Supreme Inquisitor of Fontaine. He specially commissioned us to make a trip to investigate his whereabouts."
"So, have you found the secret hidden in Mello Petersburg?"
Linny shook his head and replied, "That... not yet, but [Father] speculates that it may be related to the Heart of God."
"According to the Fatui's internal intelligence, Fontaine's God's Heart—no... not just Fontaine's, but Xumi, Nata's, and even the God's Hearts collected by Zhidong—have all been borrowed by a mysterious person."
"But just recently, they were delivered back to their respective countries through Komahiya's international express delivery."
Paimon's eyes widened. "Komaghaya is giving this away too? No, that means the Hearts of God that the Fatui collected in other kingdoms have also been returned?"
"No, my father said that the mysterious man was quite particular. The address for Wind, Rock, Thunder, and even the Heart of the Grass God was written as Zhidong." Linnie smiled.
"He is indeed a particular person."
Ye Yu recalled an old man who was listening to opera and walking his bird in Liyue.
That was the story that happened when "she" was still alive.
Overall, there aren't any useful clues on Linny's side.
But they also knew that the young master's disappearance was just an excuse given by the servants. Since that was the case, Ye Yu and the others could be less serious about their investigation.
In other words, you can slack off openly.
"Hehehe, let's go find Sigwen~" Ye Yu was the first to prepare to "skip work".
The servants didn't care about the consequences of the young master's disappearance, so they just treated it as a vacation in Mello Petersburg.
Anyway, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all provided for you. Since you are here, it is not too late to go back when you get tired of playing.
night.
Ye Yu, who had gone out for some fooling around, came back just in time for the guards' patrol.
"You're finally back. Otherwise, even if we are special investigators, it would be difficult to deal with if the guards found out we were absent." Paimon breathed a sigh of relief.
It is forbidden to go out during the evening rest time in Melo Petersburg.
"Don't worry, I'm keeping track of the time."
Apart from going to the production area to see Linny in the morning, Ye Yu did nothing today. He spent the rest of the time hanging out with Sigwen.
"By the way, where is the little girl? Why can't I see her?" Ye Yu looked around but didn't see Ying.
"She's here. She went to bed early."
By moving aside, due to the perspective, Paimon blocked the view of Ying who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
This is why Ye Yu didn't see her.
"Oh? Going to bed so early? That doesn't seem like the little one's style~"
Ye Yu moved closer and reached out to pinch Ying's face, like a prank between good friends.
Let Ying get up and go back to sleep.
"What are you doing? Don't wake her up!" Paimon stood in front of Yeyu.
"Just pinch it once. We don't have such a good opportunity normally." Ye Yu discussed.
Paimon refused decisively: "Not even for a moment!"
Then, Ye Yu was stunned where he was, and Hua Sanli also looked over here.
Being stared at by the two men, Paimon felt a little uneasy.
"You two, what's going on? Is there something on my face?"
"Paimon, look in the little guy's pocket."
Ye Yu gestured for Paimon to turn back.
In Ying's pocket, something was emitting a water-blue light.
"What is this...?" Paimon asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"It's the Young Master's Eye of Water Element." Ye Yu answered after sensing it.
