Genshin Impact: I, the Winter's Executor, am forced to work.

"You seem much calmer than when you were in the wild?"

It makes them seem more intelligent.

"Yes, because of some minor friction with your second seat, I was indeed a bit anxious when I left Sumeru City. I was worried that he might do something to the people of Sumeru."

"There are very few people who believe in you in Mount Sumeru?"

Qin Ye sighed. If it weren't for the pursuit of profit, he wouldn't have bothered to deceive an innocent child who was unaware of the dangers of the world.

Nasita lowered her head in disappointment, but quickly regained her spirits: "It is indeed as you say, but I am the god of Mount Sumeru, and everyone in Mount Sumeru is my people. Although they do not believe in me, who else besides me can they rely on?"

She walked out of the Adventurers' Guild and hung a sign in front of the door saying it was temporarily closed, to prevent anyone who was unaware of the situation from getting anxious.

"What you said is true, but if you indulge them too much, I'm afraid something bad might happen."

Nasita shook her head and chuckled, "Those are things to consider in the future. After all, I am still far from mature enough as one of the Seven Gods. But now that I have a trustworthy helper like you, I believe these things will be easily resolved, right?"

Qin Ye walked side by side with the other person, intentionally slowing down his pace.

"Yes, you're right."

Chapter 239 When Our Eyes Meet

"Heh, that's interesting, Dionysus..."

[Doctor] Dottore leaned against the top of the outermost part of the Pure Good Palace. He wore advanced technology on his face. The mechanism under the mask could observe the situation several miles away in normal times, taking in every blade of grass and every tree.

You've come all the way to Sumeru; I thought you'd received my letter and were excitedly coming to see my research. I never expected you'd start off by getting involved with the Little Grass God...

However, since he chose to leave me a message in the Adventurers' Guild, he must want me to cooperate with him in doing something.

There are many possibilities, but given his ambiguous relationship with the Seven Gods, the chances of him wanting to work with me to get rid of the Little Grass God are slim.

So, most likely he doesn't want me to damage the foundation of the Little Grass God.

This is a matter of interests; he cannot allow his honeymoon period with the Seven Gods to crack at a crucial moment.

Similarly, another issue of interests is that, as an executive officer and a Winterborn, he could never wholeheartedly seek the well-being of Sumeru.

So, wouldn't it be better for you officials to be more straightforward?

Dotole felt that his guess was probably pretty close to the truth.

Dionysus should understand the main reason I summoned him: the changes that occurred to the boy "Skirmisher" after he possessed his flesh and blood...

They really know how to bargain.

Since that's the case, let me lend you a hand.

His gaze drifted towards the deep valley outside the city, and he made subtle mental connections with it.

-

"not good..."

Nasita, who was talking with Qin Ye, sensed the message from the void terminal and became increasingly anxious.

"What, has the Dotore operation begun?"

“That’s right, and the way he connects to the Void Terminal is rather…not easy to explain to you.” Nasita seemed to be deep in thought, as if she really wanted to explain a certain concept to her partner.

"It's like you and your girlfriend... I don't know if this example is appropriate."

Qin Ye seemed indifferent: "It's okay, you go ahead and explain. I'll mainly try to understand."

Just like a teacher can't break down and explain everything in detail in a 50-minute class, otherwise you won't be able to keep up with the schedule.

As for good students who play games every day in private and still understand? That's just as unbelievable as me, the Fool, saying I'm straightforward and never beat around the bush in private.

"For example, if you are related to your family by blood, then according to the way you PhDs connect, there will be a certain amount of information distortion during the call. It's like when someone tells you something that they understand, you can't fully receive what they want to express."

"Yes, I understand what you mean."

Ultimately, there are always differences in how people communicate, and different people may have many different interpretations of the same sentence.

However, if it's family or people who know you well, their interpretation of the information might be closer to your original understanding, but that still doesn't mean they can receive it 100%.

The same applies to knowledge that is directly accessed from the void into the human brain. If a scholar does not understand and transform it into his own ideas, his thinking ability will quickly deteriorate, and he will only become a library without thinking but filled with a large amount of knowledge.

"Your second seat of the Fools can send messages to multiple contacts, but that's the most puzzling thing. Each of his recipients can act in perfect unison, without any extra thoughts."

Because Nasita's physical body is always within the Pure Goodness Palace, she can only learn about the outside world through consciousness transfers and void terminals. She rarely uses the former on her subjects, and the latter...

Dotole's current access is not much less than hers, making it difficult for her to obtain all of Dotole's information.

"The problem is simple. Apart from myself and the third seat, everyone else in my group has some issues. Dottore is a qualified researcher. He sliced ​​his body and preserved its different appearance at each stage."

Nasida fell into deep thought. He reached out and smoothed Catherine's short hair, presumably understanding the subtext Qin Ye wanted to convey to her.

"I see. In other words, although I perceive them as different individuals, their shared understanding and common goals have actually enabled them to establish this special connection..."

She frowned. As expected of a man who could compete with her for the Void Terminal access, a man who could rank second in the Fools, he was not to be underestimated.

and many more?

In my perception, different individuals rushing in all directions stood on the outer side of Sumeru City from a unique angle.

Nasita could feel that, in that instant, her control over the void suddenly became somewhat blurred.

The people in the lower district of the city also lost their ability to move in the blink of an eye, like puppets, and the entire lower level of Sumeru City fell into an eerie silence.

Qin Ye naturally noticed this unusual situation and carefully observed the Sumeru man standing beside him.

Their eyes were fixed on the ground, their eyelids not even blinking. They stood there blankly with their heads down, their arms hanging limply, devoid of vitality.

The power of light surged from his fingers, forming imperceptible threads that wrapped around the void terminal, and the lucky one he had chosen miraculously shone with light in his eyes.

But the next second, Qin Ye quietly put away the silk threads.

He could sense that what Dotore was doing wouldn't have a significant impact on the people's health, so this action meant...

Nasita quickly raised her arms, maximizing her control, and the Void System became active from its stagnant state as she invaded.

"This ability... he used his own fragments as antennas to weave multiple consciousnesses into an information network, thereby temporarily enhancing his control over the void?"

If such a person were not an enemy, but one of her own people, Nasita would even like to discuss with him the future development direction of Sumeru...

The problem is that he's a madman. What normal person would dare to let their brain operate like that? Wouldn't they be afraid of burning themselves out?

Snap... Snap...

Rhythmic applause came from above the two of them. The man in the white research suit walked down the steps one by one, his leather shoes hitting the ground with a sound that made Nasita's heart heavy.

Qin Ye exchanged a glance with Dotole, then reached out to shield the little grass god: "Don't worry, you focus on breaking his methods, I'll hold the line for you here."

Nasita didn't have time to reply, she just nodded slightly, the worry between her brows proving that she didn't have time to think about it anymore.

"Long time no see. I didn't expect you to turn against me as soon as you arrived in Sumeru. What, are you looking for a new master, Dionysus?"

Looking at his colleagues whose edges had been worn down by life, Qin Ye shrugged.

"Heh, Dottore, what's wrong with you? Is the food in Sumeru too good? Or did your hand shake when you were slicing yourself?"

The familiar banter between them made the two, who were originally colleagues, appear to outsiders to be at loggerheads.

Chapter 240 I will challenge you to a Pokémon battle.

"Oh dear, this is a new god I just met, yet he can't compare to our revolutionary friendship of over ten years?"

Dotole's lips couldn't help but curl upwards. If it weren't for the mask covering the upper half of his face, Qin Ye would probably have already seen the sickly expression on his face.

"You spend all your time in your own laboratory, so naturally you wouldn't understand how I feel right now."

Qin Ye placed one hand on his chest, his brows revealing his deep sorrow: "A god who gave everything for the people should not end in tragedy."

He gave Nasita a side profile view from behind, his expression conveying a sense of reassurance.

"She reminded me of when I started from scratch, I was also surrounded by enemies, alone and helpless."

At this point, the man slightly raised his head, let out a long breath, as if trying to release all the pent-up emotions in his heart.

"..." Dotole's smile gradually faded.

Perhaps, as you said, you did feel some compassion at a certain point in time, but you are not the kind of person who lets emotions override reason in crucial moments.

Although I am just an ordinary slice from decades ago, all of "me" know exactly what kind of person you are.

Even at a time like this, you're still thinking about getting closer to Little Grass God. You're truly something else.

After all, similar experiences and the flawless performance of such acts are most likely to evoke empathy.

"Is your current approach also inextricably linked to the so-called godhood of the scattered soldiers?"

Qin Ye finally got to the point and revealed part of his purpose to Naxida beside him.

"Heh, looks like that idiot has told you everything."

Dotole chuckled mockingly, showing no anger at Scaramucci's outburst; clearly, it was all within his expectations.

"Yeah, he peeled off all the bitter tea seeds after just a couple of casual words."

"When he went to Inazuma with you, were you the one who pinned him down?"

Qin Ye shrugged helplessly: "It's because the plan was finally completed, and he was still smart enough to know he shouldn't have fallen out with his mother and aunt. The problem is, how long has this child been in your hands? How come he's acting so shockingly?"

"There are people in this world who are good at enduring hardship in ordinary times, suppressing themselves for ten or even a hundred years, smiling and pretending to be weak. But if such a person were to gain power, I don't need to tell you what would happen, do I?"

The sudden rise to heaven can cause psychological adjustment difficulties, leading to being adrift on Sky Island...

Qin Ye pursed his lips, indicating his agreement.

Especially for people who have had psychological trauma in their childhood, they are completely different from those seasoned veterans who have always been reliable.

"I'm sure you understand the subtext of the letter I wrote to you before."

Dotole walked up to Qin Ye and tapped his chest with a smile.

"Yes, that's why I came here personally to educate this filial son."

The two walked slowly around each other for a couple of steps and then switched places.

[Doctor] clapped his hands gently: "That would be the best, of course, but I hope you can still say that when you meet him."

His palm suddenly swung backward, aiming straight for Naxida's back.
