Alex was full of drive at this point, but to his surprise, the next moment, he saw Lyney and Lynette, the siblings, walking out of the Opera House again.
Seeing them appear, Alex waved his hand slightly in greeting, not intending to strike up a conversation with them. He wanted to find Furina and try his luck with a pull.
However, Lyney and Lynette, upon seeing Alex's greeting, walked directly over.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Alex!" Lyney happily walked over to greet him.
"Good afternoon." Even Lynette, beside him, actively greeted Alex.
"Good, good afternoon to you too!" Alex smiled as he greeted them.
"Oh, speaking of which, why are you two coming out of the Opera House again this time? Do you also really like watching operas?" Alex couldn't help but ask curiously.
The last time he saw them, Lyney and Lynette were also coming out of the Opera House.
"No, last time we were performing magic, having rarely borrowed the venue. As for this time..." Lyney said, starting to build suspense.
"Oh, what about this time?" Alex's interest was piqued, and he became even more curious.
"Brother, is this something we can tell him?" Lynette suddenly spoke up, reminding him.
"Hmm, well..." Lyney looked at Lynette, then at Alex, and then said, "Didn't you tell me some ideas for magic performances before?"
"Oh, that's right." It seemed that at the very beginning, in order to get Primogems, he had indeed explained the principles of several large-scale magic reveals to Lyney and Lynette.
"These past few days, we've not only been busy performing, but more so with making props and setting up the venue." Lyney revealed his and his sister's schedule for the past few days, and then said to Alex, "Just now, we were in the Opera House..."
"Hmm, it's hard to explain right now. If you don't mind, please come with us, and I'll show you, then you'll understand!" Lyney left some suspense and then wanted to invite Alex to see it.
Of course, it didn't matter if he didn't have time or didn't want to go; it was actually in a borrowed room in the Opera House. Inside were some magic props made according to Alex's descriptions.
"Of course! I want to see!" Alex certainly wouldn't refuse! Lyney was teasing him, and he didn't know what mysterious thing he wanted to show him.
"Then come on, but remember to keep it a secret! After all, if others know these magic secrets, it won't be mysterious anymore." Lyney said finally, starting to lead the way.
"That I understand!" Alex nodded, following the siblings into the Opera House.
"We're not going this way!" Passing the main hall door, Lyney called out to Alex, who was about to enter.
"Oh, coming!" Alex said, thinking they were going into the Opera House's main hall.
"There's an opera performance going on inside right now, and many people are watching." Lyney said, leading Alex through a small door.
"Oh!" Alex nodded.
He had been to this Opera House a few times, and it was usually full of people, unlike the empty game version.
After several turns, Lyney led Alex to a not-so-large room they had borrowed in the Opera House.
This small room alone had cost Lyney tens of thousands of Mora, which was quite painful for Lyney.
But this was also necessary! Many large props needed for performances had to be made and stored here.
Then, Lyney began to show Alex some of the props he had made.
Hmm, each one surprised Alex. Lyney was indeed a professional magician. He had made them so detailed based only on his vague descriptions. He even had his own unique touches.
"Clap, clap!" After Lyney performed another amazing magic trick for him with a prop, Alex began to clap for Lyney: "That was brilliant!"
Some of them, Alex knew the principle behind them, but after watching, he was still very surprised.
After all, magic doesn't just rely on props; the most important thing is the sleight of hand!
"And next up is our siblings' prized treasure!" Lyney said, walking to a corner and uncovering a transparent box about six or seven meters high in front of him.
"Ah!" Looking at this familiar box, Alex immediately knew.
Isn't this the magic trick Lyney was going to perform in the 4.0 storyline?
In the end, it was a classic, like the murder plot in a certain anime where someone turns into an elementary school student, and the magic performance goes wrong.
Oh, his assistant was also crushed to death!
"Lyney! You have to thank me!" Alex patted Lyney.
Lyney was confused, why did he suddenly have to thank him again?
To be precise, his magic assistant. He wouldn't be accidentally killed, and the thief wouldn't feel guilty and go to jail for accidentally killing someone due to excessive retaliation.
Wait, it seems I... because I quickly caught the mastermind, I let the accomplices go.
Alex's mind cleared, and he began to recall the details of Lyney's previous case.
For example, that magic helper, it seemed he was going to Melt the Damselette, but because the thief was not a Fontaine resident, the plan was disrupted, and he was counter-killed.
And also that Gardes member who provided us with the primordial sea water evidence was also an accomplice.
"Damn it!" Alex was a little annoyed. He had only caught the main culprit, and those accomplices were still at large and living safely.
"Hmm?" Lyney was still confused. What was wrong with Alex? One moment he wanted him to thank him, and now he was dejected again?
"Uh, that person, the magic assistant... I mean, who else was involved, tell me." Alex said, deciding that after he knew, he would ask Clorinde and Chevreuse to find a way to arrest him too.
Lyney said, "Magic has always been performed by just us siblings; Lynette is my magic assistant!"
"However, for a large-scale magic trick like this water tank escape, we really should hire another person to be an assistant, otherwise, we siblings alone can't perform it at all." Lyney fell into contemplation.
"Right now, there isn't anyone?" Alex asked, confused.
"Yes!" Lyney gave an affirmative answer.
"Uh..." Alex was speechless. In other words, because he had dealt with the mastermind in advance, those accomplices who were making trouble were also implicated and became a non-event.
"Phew." Alex finally relaxed his tense mood at this moment.
He had eliminated the organization, so the small fry that would appear later would naturally also have their fates changed.
As for whether they would go to jail or die in the future, that was no longer his business.
He had already given them a chance to turn over a new leaf!
And now he had also made Fontaine vigilant about the primordial sea water in advance. I think it will be much harder for those with ulterior motives to carry out their plans!
