Genshin Impact: The Water God Wants Me to Confess

After a long time, Iris took out a rainbow rose and placed it on the earl's chest. Then, she fell into her brother's arms and burst into tears. The rain washed her tears away and flowed into the unknown underground, the kingdom of the dead...

Suddenly, she shook and tugged at her brother's clothes.

"What's wrong, Iris?" he asked.

"Brother, look..." She pointed to the rainbow rose that she had just put down. It bloomed quietly in the dark night, as bright as blood.

"My mother's favorite rainbow rose... is blooming."

——The Two Gunmen, page 358.

The plot in the novel seems to be happening at this moment, but it is different.

Inside the warehouse, the captain of the special patrol team, Xia Vole, held a rifle and pointed the muzzle at the prop master of the crew, Veronica.

At the same time, Furninna's three Lonely Hearts Salon members blocked Veronica's retreat and surrounded her.

When Xiao Gong, who had been [shot] earlier, heard that something was wrong on the field, he quickly got up from the ground and wiped the blood from the blood bag on his body.

Afterwards, Xiao Gong hurried forward and asked the questions in his mind.

"Wait, wait, wait! What's going on here? There's no mention of this part in the script!"

"Put the gun down, Veronica!"

Xiawolei did not answer Xiaogong's doubts, but instead shouted at the prop master Veronica.

However, Veronica asked unwillingly.

"Why, why did you stop me from killing this beast?!"

"Does a person like him deserve to live?"

Click, the gun's safety came on.

Chavore's voice was stern and cold.

"Put the gun down! I won't say that a third time!"

For a moment, Xiawolei's powerful aura made Veronika hesitate.

After a few seconds, Veronica put down her rifle.

When the rifle fell to the ground, Morris, who had escaped death, was still a little confused about the situation.

Hadn't he already confessed? How come there was another person who wanted to kill him?

"What on earth is going on?"

Morris asked tremblingly.

"Don't you understand yet, Maurice?"

Seeing Veronica drop her rifle, Xia Vole also put down the rifle in her hand, but she still kept an eye on Veronica to prevent her from making any dangerous moves.

"Everything that happened just now was a show to make you confess in front of the camera."

"Except for Veronica, the prop master, who came uninvited."

Veronica, who was named by Xiawolei, just turned her head away, with hatred and unwillingness in her eyes.

Xiao Gong touched his chin, thinking.

Furninna looked at Veronica, then at Xiawolei, and at this moment, she finally understood.

What's the point of performing an extra scene? The fundamental purpose is to find the [Second Gunner].

"So, the acting is just a cover, and your goal is actually to lure out the second gunslinger in the story, right?"

"But you can tell us what you think, Chavore. Have you ever thought about what would have happened to Maurice if you hadn't taken the bullet?"

"Can you tell us so that we can at least make some preparations in advance?"

Funina crossed her arms across her chest, somewhat dissatisfied with Xiawolei's concealment.

"I'm sorry, Lady Finina. Because before this, I wasn't sure if my reasoning was correct."

"I don't want to affect the feelings of everyone in the crew because of some inferences without evidence."

Xia Wo Lei spread her hands and then said to Xiao Gong.

"Ms. Xiao Gong, thank you for your performance. Now, could you please notify the special patrol team members? I have ordered them to stand by not far away."

"Also, tell everyone in the crew not to panic. We'll be out soon."

"no problem!"

Xiao Gong nodded in agreement, then turned and left.

After Xiao Gong left, the eyes of the ladies present were all on Morris.

The Lonely Hearts Salon has not been taken back by Funina yet. Although Xiawolei no longer pays much attention to Veronica, Funina is still worried that she will do something surprising out of hatred.

"Morris, how about it? Are you interested in telling me about what happened twenty years ago?"

Chavore asked, looking down at Maurice.

"what……"

Maurice avoided Chavore's gaze and did not dare to answer.

"My patience is limited. Don't force me to take you to the interrogation room for questioning. I bet you won't last a minute in there."

"With the video footage just now, you have no chance of winning in the court. It will be to your advantage to cooperate honestly now."

Furninna felt very uncomfortable hearing such threatening words.

Is it really okay to say these things in front of her, the former water god and the former god of justice?

Oh, forget it. She has already retired, so she doesn't care about these rules anymore.

Let Fucaros worry about his own headache!

After staying for a while, she must go out and relax!

Silently taking a step back, Funina gathered everyone in front of her.

At this time, Morris, who was intimidated by Xiawolei, finally surrendered and chose to cooperate honestly.

"Oh, okay... I'll tell you, I'll tell you."

Morris sighed softly, his expression sad as he recalled the past.

“I hired someone to kill Alyssa…”

"She used to be a maid in my house. She was very beautiful, with hair that fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, gently brushing against her fair skin. Her big eyes were like stars, sparkling with bright and gentle light."

"Under her high nose bridge, her lips were slightly upturned, with a faint smile, which made people intoxicated. As we got to know each other better, I fell in love with her..."

"We kept our love secret from others for a while. Every morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the window, I would gently touch her face and look at her sweet sleeping face, my heart filled with happiness and satisfaction."

"We spent many wonderful times together, sharing each other's joys and sorrows. However, fate always likes to play tricks on people. Not long after, she found out that she was pregnant."

"I am a noble and she is a commoner. My parents are traditional conservative nobles who believe that bloodline is everything. I dare not tell them this."

"If my parents find out about this, they will definitely take away my property and kick me out of the house..."

“But what I didn’t expect was that Alyssa insisted on giving birth to the child, and wanted me to leave my family and run away with her.”

At this point, Morris' voice became excited. He always said that his parents were traditional and conservative aristocrats, so why not him?

His love with the maid was nothing more than lust for beauty. Faced with the temptation of family property, Morris chose the latter without hesitation.

Looking at Morris's still resentful expression, Xiawolei spoke softly.

"She thought...you really loved her."
