Chapter 129 Performance
Finally, the water god smiled and said goodbye to everyone:
"Goodbye, Villette, and my new friends..."
After saying this, he turned around, faced the impending execution, and danced his last dance.
That Villette closed her eyes, controlled her emotions, then opened them again without saying anything else.
Although the others, especially the children, were also sad, they were sensible enough not to make a sound when they saw this scene, and quietly appreciated the last dance of the water god.
As the music gradually died down, just as the Water God was about to take his final bow, the familiar blue light enveloped everyone once again.
Ran Mouri and Haibara couldn't open their eyes because of the strong light. When the light dimmed, they found that they had left the place they had just been and came to another space.
In addition to them, there are Conan, Moroboshi and Xia Xi who disappeared before.
Mao Lilan and the children quickly ran to them and communicated with them. Only then did they know that when they were communicating with the real water god, Conan and the others had also entered another dimension...
Earlier, on the other side, Fucaros' inner world.
After a period of darkness, Conan found that they had arrived at another place.
There was little light around and only some seats could be vaguely seen. Conan always felt that this place was somewhat familiar.
"We are still in the Opikle Opera House." Xia Xi's eyesight was much better than Conan and Moroboshi, and she easily recognized the environment she was in. "But we are probably not in reality. The environment is different from before. There is no gap just now, and it is too quiet around. Even I can't hear any sound in the opera house except us."
Conan believes in Xia Xi's judgment. Since this is an opera house in another space, why did they suddenly appear here?
Conan thought that they were here because the Cardinal of the Judgment was about to execute Fukaros, and they ran to Fukaros to stop him. So was it the Cardinal of the Judgment? Or Fukaros?
There are only three of them here. I wonder how Xiaolan and the others are doing outside. Are they in danger?
Suddenly, with a "click", three spotlights lit up on the opera house stage, all aimed at the center of the stage.
Conan and the others looked towards the light.
In the center of the stage was Fucaros, whom they had met before. She was sitting on a chair in the center of the stage, with her head supported by one hand, as if she was thinking about something. She did not look dispirited at all as she had after the trial.
Moroboshi: "Fukaros? She's here too. Does this mean that he's the reason why we're in this strange place?"
Xia Xi: "It's possible. Let's go up and ask. It would be nice if we can get some information."
Conan had no objection either.
After the three reached a consensus, they walked towards the stage.
Only when I got closer did I realize that this stage was so high, even higher than the only adult here.
They never expected that the first difficulty standing in their way was not being able to get on stage.
Conan and Moroboshi stood in front of the stage, looking up blankly at the edge of the stage which was some distance away from them.
Conan said blankly: "Sister Xia Xi, can you go up at this height?"
"I can, but why should I climb up from the front? Aren't there stairs here? Can't I take the stairs?" Xia Xi's voice came from a distance.
???
Conan looked to the side and found that the figure who had been beside him and Moroboshi before had disappeared. She had walked to the edge of the stage and was about to go up.
Conan and Zhu Xing quickly caught up with Xia Xi's footsteps, and at the same time couldn't help complaining, "Can't Sister Xia Xi really make her footsteps louder? If you don't pay attention, you can't hear her footsteps. If the two children are a little timid, they will really be scared."
Xia Xi heard the footsteps of Conan and Zhu Xing following, turned around and asked with concern: "What were you doing just now? Why did you suddenly want to climb onto the stage?"
Conan quickly waved his hands and said, "Nothing, we were just asking out of curiosity."
Haha, I can’t say that I didn’t notice the stairs just now.
Zhu Xing also nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, haha."
They walked up to Fucaros and found that he was still sitting there motionless, as if he didn't see them at all.
Xia Xi and the others exchanged puzzled glances, and finally Xia Xi stepped forward and shouted, "Fukalos?"
After hearing his name, Fukaros seemed to finally notice the other people present. He changed his posture and said with a slightly arrogant look, "Who allowed you to come to this stage without permission? As the god Fukaros, I understand your admiration for me, but please don't break the rules."
After hearing Fucaros's answer, the three of them looked a little surprised and confused.
Xia Xi asked again: "Fukalos, do you still recognize who we are?"
Fukalos didn't look at Xia Xi. Her eyes seemed to be staring into the void. She answered with an unchanged expression: "I don't know who you are, and you don't have to tell me. Well, leave if you have nothing to do. Don't disturb my performance."
Conan watched Xia Xi and Fucaros talking with a confused expression.
Strangely, Fucaros' attitude seemed to have returned to what it was when they first met each other, and she seemed to have completely forgotten what had happened in the opera house.
And he noticed that Fukaros said a word - performance.
Indeed, he had felt that Fucaros's words and actions were a bit exaggerated before. Considering that she had been pretending to be the water god before, could it be that she had always treated this as a performance?
Since it is a performance, there must be an audience. Who are the audience? The audience can only be everyone in Fontaine. There are countless pairs of eyes watching Fukaros' performance at every moment in Fontaine.
It was not until this moment that Conan suddenly realized how much pressure Fukaros was under in playing the role of a god. She needed to maintain the elegance and nobility of a god at all times and not let down the people of Fontaine.
Fucaros lived for 500 years, which means that she had been continuing this performance for 500 years, and no one doubted her identity in these 500 years. Even Villette did not realize that Fucaros was not the water god.
Conan felt mixed emotions at this moment and didn't know how to start.
