"That hurts..."
Paimon rubbed her sore neck, feeling something soft under her butt, and looked down curiously.
She saw Lumine propping her chin on her hands and looking at her with a helpless expression.
"Huh?!" Paimon was startled, quickly got up and pulled her up, then smiled awkwardly.
"Sorry sorry~"
"Where's Navia?"
Lumine didn't mind, turning her head to find Navia.
The space here was pitch black, and if you weren't close, you couldn't see anything, and it was easy to get lost.
It was really strange, why did the Hydro Archon send their group all here, and she didn't know what strange guy would live here.
"I'm here."
A voice came from the darkness, it was Navia's, and there were also the footsteps of Myles and Silver.
It seemed no one had gotten lost.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, a light suddenly flashed, and then the entire pitch-black space was illuminated.
Momoshiki used stellar power to make a mini-sun, hanging it high in the sky, and controlled its heat.
This way, it could illuminate the space without feeling too hot.
Everyone looked towards the light, seeing a young man in white clothes, wearing a translucent white veil, with skin as white as paper, and a face that was neither male nor female, slowly falling from the sky.
Feeling a strong energy source, Lumine frowned slightly, inadvertently taking a step back, vigilantly looking at the person coming.
"Be careful! The aura on him is terrifying!"
These words also reminded everyone, Myles and Silver protected Navia behind them, and Paimon habitually hid in the back.
"No need to be wary of me," Momoshiki said slowly, putting on the appearance that a mysterious person should have.
"I'm sorry for pulling you in here this way, it's just that Furina hasn't fully mastered the Kamui Teleportation, and can't accurately land living things."
His tone was normal, and he didn't seem to have any malice.
Everyone exchanged glances, and put away their fighting stances.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Momoshiki Otsutsuki, you can just call me Momoshiki."
Seeing that no fighting had broken out, and he even introduced himself, Paimon poked her head out from behind, turning on her God's Mouth mode:
"My name is Paimon, this is Lumine, and Navia..."
After the introduction, the nearby space twisted, and Furina staggered in, seeing that the atmosphere wasn't as strange as she had imagined, Furina spread her hands and said:
"It seems you're getting along well."
"In the just getting to know each other stage," Paimon smiled hehe.
"Then Mr. Momoshiki, is it true that you said you could help us investigate the truth of this case?" Navia asked expectantly.
Navia's mind was full of the series of missing girls cases now, and she almost ignored the things around her.
"Of course."
Momoshiki nodded confidently.
As a transmigrator who knew the entire plot, it would be too embarrassing if he couldn't even solve this kind of case.
"Tell me what you've investigated so far."
"Okay!"
Navia organized her thoughts in her mind, and quickly and concisely told all the things that had happened during this time.
It turned out that Spina di Rosula had investigated a suspicious person in the series of missing girls cases, that is, the magic assistant Cowell, and Navia, as the president, immediately personally went to conduct a deeper investigation based on this clue.
As a result, when the spearhead pointed to the opera house, the water tank smashing people incident occurred, and even the deceased was this suspicious person.
Navia suspected it was a murder to silence him, so she and Lumine and Paimon conducted a clueless investigation.
As a result, not only did they not find anything, but someone even jumped out to accuse Lyney of doing things related to the Primordial Sea, that is, dissolving people and disappearing, doing heinous experiments.
This suddenly pushed the angle that had never been paid attention to to the forefront, and broke the original investigation process, making the people of Fontaine see the horror of the prophecy for the first time.
Although Neuvillette blocked the news as soon as possible to avoid causing panic, it was still dug out by some unscrupulous snitches, causing a small sensation in the Court of Fontaine.
This matter also didn't know how it spread to the interrogation room, and the thief directly refused to talk about anything, telling the guards that she had to have her sentence reduced at the trial before she would reveal what happened.
The general process was like this, the group of travelers found a clue and it was overturned, falling into a state of confusion.
"I see," Momoshiki nodded thoughtfully.
The things that were happening now had deviated from the game plot, but the culprit and the purpose hadn't changed at all, so there was no need to worry about anything.
Furina was in a brainstorming state about the things Navia said, only feeling that they were very profound, so she leaned closer to Momoshiki.
Although she didn't understand, standing next to a smart person would make her seem smart too.
"Then how are you going to help us?" Navia asked a little anxiously.
Hearing this, Momoshiki just smiled, and the Rinnegan in his palm emitted a faint sense of pressure.
"It's very simple, I have special abilities."
Saying it was a special ability, it was nothing more than using the Sharingan's genjutsu to get information, soul extraction or something couldn't be afforded now, this 1000 Origin Chakra Energy should be saved for refining when needed.
Saying this, Momoshiki looked at Lumine and said, "My power doesn't belong to this world, I'm sure Lumine has noticed this."
"Yeah, the power on you is something I've never seen in Teyvat," Lumine didn't hide it, directly revealing it generously.
"Special ability? Not belonging to this world?"
Big question marks rose above the heads of Navia, Paimon, Myles, and Silver.
Wow, although they didn't know what it was, just the phrase "not belonging to this world" knew that the level of awesomeness would definitely not be low.
They thought it was providing clues for investigation, but they didn't expect it to be a built-in cheat modifier...
"Although we're very curious about what you're talking about, we won't ask too much if it involves privacy, so can you talk about your special ability?" Myles asked with a hint of anticipation, putting his right hand on his chest.
He had a premonition now that this guy who didn't look like a human would be the key to breaking the situation, and also the dawn that Spina di Rosula was about to usher in.
Momoshiki nodded calmly, and then his Byakugan instantly switched to Sharingan, faintly saying, "My ability is easy to understand, it's called Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan."
Then, Momoshiki introduced the abilities of the Sharingan in detail to the group, using it on Paimon, making her directly say all the names of the things she had eaten all day yesterday.
Successfully shocking everyone present.
"No way!" Furina put her hands on her hips, a little unhappy, "So the Sharingan also has genjutsu abilities, and you didn't even tell me!"
"I want to learn such a cool skill too!"
"The control of genjutsu is several times more difficult than Susanoo, are you sure you can learn it?" Momoshiki looked at Furina with a strange look, his eyes full of distrust.
"Uh..."
Hearing that it was several times more difficult than Susanoo, Furina immediately withered like a frost-beaten eggplant.
"So, you can use this ability to make the suspect subconsciously say any information?"
Navia was shocked and covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes full of surprise.
This kind of heaven-defying ability! Only novels dared to write it like this, right?!
If Momoshiki hadn't used Paimon to show it off, Navia would have almost thought he was talking nonsense.
Even Paimon, who had been tricked into revealing information, still didn't know what had happened, just scratching the back of her head inexplicably, looking at the shocked crowd with a puzzled expression.
It seemed that the day to find the real culprit was not far away!
