Leosley noticed Yu Shui's surprise at that moment, and the excitement that followed... He seemed to be able to slightly understand his psychological activities at this moment. A person with low self-esteem who longed for attention created Fontaine. For the first time in history, regardless of the final result, he will be recorded in the entire history of Fontaine.

Is he excited about this?

He remembered that when he was talking to Yu Shui, he once joked that he might be sentenced to death, but that was just a joke... Even Vashe before was not sentenced to death by the oracle machine.

He never thought that this day would actually come true...but there was no joy or happiness in his heart, only...just a sense of panic for no reason.

"No...why, why did the oracle machine give the result of death penalty?! Judge, why..."

In the auditorium below, Navia's voice was particularly obvious in the noisy discussion. After all, she only thought that Yu Shui would be sentenced to a sentence that would never end, and never thought that this would be the result.

This is the first death sentence in Fontaine's history.

Her helpless eyes looked at everyone in the courtroom, whether it was the three positions on the stage or the friends she knew well around her.

Linny had already stood up, looking thoughtful as if he was analyzing the current situation. Sora and Paimon seemed to be still out of the situation, but Paimon was obviously very frightened.

"Traveller... Traveler, if I understand correctly, the final verdict of 2... 200 million Mora is to be killed in court!!"

"...I'm afraid, Paimon...you don't look well?"

"This... Even if 200 million Mora has done many evil things and deceived us, I never thought about letting him really die! Pai... Paimon can't accept it..."

Paimon kept looking at the sword of judgment hanging in the sky emerging from the oracle machine, the fear in his eyes was very obvious.

Navia saw Sora pulling Paimon into his arms and covering her eyes... Finally, her eyes went all the way up and she saw the water goddess Funina who was obviously full of disbelief.

She looked like she didn't know what was going on. Why? Is it possible that the Water God cannot know why his creation gives such a result?

A burst of exclamations from the audience drew her attention back to the courtroom. Navia turned around in surprise and discovered that the exclamation just now came from Yu Shui turning over from the second floor for the second time.

This time he staggered and fell to the ground, but no guard came to stop him. No one knew what kind of turmoil was hidden under his calm expression at the moment.

...Yu Shui was actually not afraid at all in his heart, because he knew that this was the result of Fukalos' choice, and he chose to have a little faith in the Riddler Water God.

So let him enjoy the end of this huge trial. A trial that is truly worthy of being recorded in history must also have an ending that can match its significance.

"Everyone under the stage...why are you acting so incredulous? Is it because you are afraid of the death penalty? Haha~ shouldn't you be happy to witness my death?"

At this moment, there was no other person on the stage of the Inquisition. There was only an elegant artist performing a one-man show, delivering a speech to his audience.

The original calm expression no longer existed, but was replaced by a feeling of extreme enjoyment, and his agile limbs seemed like he was an actor on the stage at this moment. This was not a court of justice, but the end of a wonderful drama.

Everyone didn't understand why he could still be so happy when facing death, but if a madman's thoughts could be understood by others, then he would not be worthy of being called a madman.

Leosley could tell at a glance that although Yu Shui was acting, he was acting sincerely and he really enjoyed it all... But, he didn't understand why this person could really accept using himself. His life in exchange for a huge performance?

At least Leosley didn't want to see him die in front of him.

"Yu Shui, please wake up. This is the death penalty, nothing else...Judge, I think I have the right to question the rigor of the judgment of the oracle machine. After all, there are many comparable records in the past five hundred years. He was a very heinous criminal, but not one of them was sentenced to death!”

Like Yu Shui, Leosley turned over and jumped off the railing cleanly, landed firmly, and walked towards Yu Shui who was standing not far away without saying a word, to take him away from here.

However, his steps were hindered by the elemental power from Yu Shui... The cold sword was pointed at Leosley's neck. As long as he took another step forward, it would mercilessly penetrate his throat.

The operator of the water sword was behind it, looking at Leosley with a complicated expression... It made him feel that those blue eyes were still so pure and flawless at this moment.

"Leoslie... don't come near me unless you want to be the last person to die by my hands."

"I don't know what you are thinking, but I know that even a criminal with heinous crimes should not lose his life for no reason. What's more... do you think you have repaid the debt you owed me?"

His fingers tightly grasped the cold water sword pointed at him...even colder ice wrapped around it, shattering the sword into pieces. The residue fell on the stage and turned into steam.

Water and ice are obviously colder existences, but the hearts of those who control them are hotter than the other. Hundreds of pairs of eyes are watching this confrontation in silence.

Villette was silent for a while and responded to Leosley's words just now.

"Your question is reasonable... In the history of Fontaine, there have indeed been prisoners whose crimes were more serious than water, but they were never sentenced to death. However, this is the judgment of the oracle machine, and I don't think you should ask me."

The implication is, ask the water god.

But Funina didn't know anything either... She was extremely confused at this moment, but according to her past character of being good at fooling others with wheel talk, this time was no exception.

"Ahaha~ The death penalty certainly has its reasons. Maybe something interesting will happen when the sword of judgment falls. Just wait and see!"

He said it, but it seemed like he didn't say anything, but the two people confronting each other on the stage at the moment didn't pay attention to Fu Nina's response.

"Leosli... I thought you would start to hate me and hate me, and even wish to see me being tortured to death. It seems that I was wrong...? Well, I admit that what I did to you was extremely bad, but I can't pay it back anymore, as for now...go back!"

"... Let's compare, is your water sharper or my ice colder?"

Leosli raised his hand and clenched his fist, as if he was about to fight Yu Shui to death... Yu Shui's heart was trembling, but he didn't dare to show it at all.

He had indeed put on countless masks for himself, but he could not hide his deep feelings for the Duke... Yu Shui didn't want to look at him anymore, he was afraid that all his masks would collapse.

"Your Excellency, don't be impulsive here. Hijacking the execution ground... do you know what the crime is?"

Seeing that Leosli seemed to be determined to take Yu Shui away from the Sword of Judgment at all costs, the security team members who were guarding the surroundings all stood up.

And Clolind, who was standing behind others... She understood where Leosley's impulse at this moment came from, but her reason told her that that impulse was wrong at this moment.

She saw the look in Yu Shui's eyes as he secretly handed it to her... and silently installed a blank bullet in his gun.

This distance...can't hurt Leosley, but can knock him unconscious.

This brief confrontation was forced to end with a dull gunshot.

"!"

Leosley only felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. The black pressure and dizziness in front of him made it difficult for him to maintain balance.

But at the end of his consciousness, he saw a reluctant smile on Yu Shui's lips towards him.

"A...Ayu..."

With a heavy crash, Leosley fell to the stage, and was helped down by the security team members who rushed over immediately. Everyone looked at this dramatic scene in stunned silence.

Yu Shui took one last look at the slightly embarrassed Leosley, hid the pain in his heart, turned around, faced all the onlookers in front of him, and opened his arms in joy.

"I know that the people who came here today either hate me or are angry, hate me, or simply come to see me for fun. Of course... there are also my relatives and friends."

Behind Yu Shui, Villette looked condescendingly at his back silently... The thief's face was already extremely pale due to blood loss, and the tear of the wound made him in poor condition.

But just like a dedicated actor, holding on to perform the last scene... Villette had a premonition that something was going to happen, but he had no ability to stop it.

"But I hope that at this moment, you can put aside all the superfluous emotions in your heart and enjoy this final performance that belongs to the sinner.

The grandest trial in the country of justice will eventually be created by me, the first death sentence in the history of Fontaine... I accepted it with a smile. "

Yu Shui, who was wearing a gilt black performance costume, turned around gracefully. The water flowed from his hands and turned into a delicate and blue violin, which he gently placed on his shoulders.

Her pure eyes were closed tightly at this moment, as if she was enjoying this moment... Under the cold sword of judgment, the soloist felt herself to the fullest and played the waltz composed by Funina, " The Sinner's End."

Yu Shui doesn't feel like a prisoner at this moment... more like an independent artist who uses his own life to play the final melody, making everyone who looks at him unable to help but indulge in it.

Until the song came to an end, the performer bowed gracefully to greet all his listeners...but the sword of judgment fell silently in mid-air at this moment.

This dream was violently shattered.

The violin that had just emitted beautiful music fell to the ground and instantly dispersed into a puddle of ordinary clear water and turned into emptiness.
