Genshin Impact : Eerie Teyvat-Chapter 97: Ch : The Clever Application of Charlotte’s Rule

In front of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale within the Opera Epiclese, everyone had gathered.

Focalors and Charlotte sat face to face, though the expressions on both of their faces were far from relaxed.

"Su Yuan, is this really okay?" Focalors asked with concern.

"If we get the wrong answer, wouldn't Miss Charlotte fall into Eeriefication...?"

"It's alright," Charlotte replied calmly.

"Compared to the safety of all Fontaine—and even Teyvat—my personal matter is insignificant."

As she spoke, Charlotte handed "Monsieur Verite" to the Traveler, then looked around at everyone and said:

"If I really do fall into eeriefication, don't hesitate—kill me."

"At the very least, my sacrifice might bring new intelligence to the table—something that could help save Fontaine, and fight against the eerie. That alone makes it worth it."

"Traveler, take 'Monsieur Verite' and keep exploring this world for me. Uncover more of the 'truth.'"

"Also... please remember to apologize to my parents—and to Miss Euphrasie."

"I wasn't a dutiful daughter, nor was I a competent reporter..."

Su Yuan realized—he had underestimated Charlotte's courage and resolve.

To save Fontaine and defeat the eerie, she had already prepared herself for the ultimate sacrifice...

But for someone like him, who possessed the power to rewind time—

There was no way he would just let Charlotte die that easily!

At worst... they'd just do it all over again.

Immediately afterward, following the previously discussed plan, Charlotte began her interview with Focalors.

"Hello, Miss Focalors. Thank you for agreeing to this interview."

As soon as the interview began, Charlotte suddenly became calm and proficient, completely in her zone.

"So, my first question is: Is the Second of the Fatui Harbingers, 'Il Dottore,' still alive?"

"Yes, Dottore is still alive," Focalors nodded and replied.

Though everyone already suspected it—after all, with so many segments of himself, Dottore wouldn't be that easy to kill—

They still turned their slightly tense gazes toward Charlotte, watching closely for any signs of eeriefication.

However, Charlotte remained perfectly normal.

"Alright, next is the second question," Charlotte continued.

"Is it possible for an insect—or a certain kind of creature—to become the Hydro Archon?"

"I believe such a possibility does exist," Focalors answered.

Immediately, the crowd's eyes turned toward Charlotte again with unease, as this answer was crucial—it directly related to Su Yuan's bold hypothesis, and whether it could actually come true... freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Charlotte lifted both hands and flexed her fingers a little.

When she found she could still control her body normally, she exclaimed joyfully:

"Everyone, this is great—I can still move! I haven't been taken over by the eerie!"

Watching Charlotte's reaction and hearing what she said, everyone finally let out a sigh of relief.

It really seemed like there was hope to save Focalors!

"Alright, next question: Can Neuvillette reclaim the authority of the Sovereign Dragon and pardon the people of Fontaine for their sins?"

Seeing how everything was progressing in a positive direction, Charlotte couldn't suppress the joy on her face and asked with renewed energy.

"Yes."

Focalors answered, and once again, Charlotte showed no signs of abnormality.

"Yay! Next question—can we save all the people of Fontaine from the prophecy?"

Charlotte asked excitedly, but was quickly interrupted by Su Yuan.

Because that question hadn't been part of the pre-approved list.

"Focalors, stop! Don't answer that question!"

Su Yuan spoke up urgently, concern evident in his voice—because the scope of that question was far too broad.

The word "all" was too absolute.

If even one person happened to die in an accident—say, not from being dissolved in water, but from tripping and hitting their head—it might technically mean they hadn't saved all the people of Fontaine.

"Ahem, my bad..."

Charlotte coughed awkwardly, scratching her head.

She adjusted her hat and collar, pushed up her glasses, and said with a sheepish smile:

"That question wasn't on the original list. I got a little too excited and blurted it out without thinking..."

Su Yuan let out a breath of relief.

Luckily, he'd been tense and alert enough to catch that in time—otherwise, something might've gone horribly wrong again.

"Alright, moving on to the next question from the prepared list..."

Charlotte cleared her throat and asked:

"Regarding the prophecy about Fontaine, will it happen within seven days?"

Hearing this, Focalors took a deep breath and answered:

"Yes."

Everyone once again turned to Charlotte with tense expressions—but she still showed no signs of being affected.

"So it seems... we really don't have much time left," Neuvillette said solemnly.

"That massive ship beneath Meropide Fortress..." Wriothesley's brows furrowed.

"Looks like we'll have to make some compromises and speed up its completion."

"Alright, then let's move on to the next question!"

Charlotte continued speaking:

"Miss Focalors, is it possible for you to save Fontaine without sacrificing yourself?"

In fact, this was a pivotal question.

Everything they'd asked up to now had been building toward this moment...

If Focalors truly could survive—then Su Yuan's wild, daring idea might actually be feasible!

This would be the optimal solution to save everyone.

"That's right. I can save Fontaine without sacrificing myself!"

Focalors looked straight into Charlotte's eyes and answered with firm conviction.

After all, if one could, who wouldn't want to stay in this world a little longer?

To see more of its beauty, and spend more time with the ones they love?

Hearing Focalors' answer, Charlotte flexed her fingers, testing her control over them.

Furina watched the scene with joy on her face:

"This is wonderful... Focalors can still be saved!"

Everyone collectively let out a sigh of relief.

But in the very next moment—something no one had anticipated happened!

A surge of eerie power suddenly erupted from Charlotte's body.

She glared fiercely at Focalors and snarled:

"You're wrong..."

"You could never save Fontaine without sacrificing yourself..."

"Because today, you're going to die here!"

"Charlotte" was just about to lunge toward Focalors in a vicious attack—

when suddenly, a massive iron cage dropped down from the ceiling, trapping "Charlotte" inside.

"Sigh... So it ended up like this after all..."

Lyney let out a deep sigh.

That giant iron cage was the emergency measure he had prepared earlier along with the others—just in case.

Everyone stared in stunned silence, eyes wide as they watched what was unfolding—the eerie, corrupted version of Charlotte standing before them.

No one knew what to say.

One of the conditions for Charlotte's eerie transformation... was hearing a falsehood.

Now that she had succumbed to the corruption, it could only mean one thing:

Focalors truly cannot save Fontaine without sacrificing herself.
