"Put this thing away, and remember not to let it touch the power of a person like the abyss."
After leaving a few unclear words, the doctor quickly left this underground stronghold.
"Put it away? It really doesn't hurt to stand and talk!" The soldier glanced at the direction where the doctor disappeared and showed annoyance.
It's a shame he said such a thing. Sooner or later, the skirmishers will tie the doctor to a time bomb. Will he be able to remain as calm as he is now?
……
"Ta! Tat! Tat!"
The doctor has more than one stronghold in Xumi. At this time, he is walking as fast as flying, skillfully shuttling through the underground tunnels like a spider web.
"boom!"
The heavy door closed, and now he had arrived in a brand new secret room.
Looking around, this place is big enough and empty enough.
"Huh...huh..." After taking a few deep breaths, the doctor stretched out his arm as if he had made some important decision.
Then, an extremely strange thing crawled out of the void.
First there was a palm that was uncomfortably thin, then a face that was distorted to the extreme, and finally the entire shriveled and collapsed body of the "person".
The doctor looked at the "person" who was lying on the ground. Judging from his curled-up facial features, he knew it was him.
After a brief silence, the doctor calmly took out a journal.
"consciousness."
"Confusion..., something... is replacing me..."
The skin of the slender "man" is getting whiter and thinner, and now the skeleton exposed under the skin can be seen.
The doctor glanced at his slice. He could have directly connected with the consciousness of this slice, but by some strange mistake, he chose the simplest method.
"Concrete feelings."
"Complex..., a lot of... negative emotions..., and... my... emotions are... draining..."
The abnormally white skin began to have a sludge-like sticky substance, and the contrast between black and white made both of them extremely prominent.
Not only that, scabs began to form on his twisted face. The scabs hid his shrunken facial features, and countless black and yellow curly hairs grew out from underneath.
"What do you mean? Haven't we abandoned useless feelings long ago?" The doctor was puzzled by Slice's words. Emotions, etc., he had abandoned them when making the slices.
"Meat..., eat...meat..., I...want to be...completely...devoured..., my little...heart..."
"Mosi Mita!"
"hiss!!!"
Slice completely lost contact with the doctor. It lay on the ground like a trembling stick insect.
The twisted "person" pounced on the doctor, causing the latter's pupils to shrink under his mask.
"Om-"
A huge buzzing sound with a specific frequency sounded in the huge secret room, and the real sound wave swept across, and the flying monster instantly turned into powder.
Fine white powder slowly fell from the sky. The monster's body disappeared, but some things did not.
Silt seeps out of the powder, and the silt surges, with a strong tendency to merge.
"This thing..., what exactly is it?" The doctor looked at the mud on the ground that was crawling like a caterpillar, and inexplicably felt that the thing just now looked like both a worm and a Qiuqiu man.
[I became a Qiuqiu person? 】As soon as this idea came out, he was instantly shocked.
The doctor shook his head quickly and quickly threw out the terrifying thoughts in his mind, trying not to think about this possibility.
The doctor raised his palms and forced himself to shift his attention. He looked at the ashes that appeared on the palm of his hand at some point. This was the ashes that his arm had turned into.
"Will the abyss separate the bonding power of that thing?" He tilted his hand, and all the ashes in his hand flew away.
"Fire, a flame of this level..." The doctor recalled the scene when his arm came into contact with the heat. The blazing heat made him feel dangerous.
Such a terrifying flame is very powerful, and of course, it is also very useful.
"Haha, there are so many things popping up, it seems like I won't be bored anymore." The doctor covered his forehead and smiled softly.
When he caught a glimpse of a small lump of something similar to silt that had been aggregated on the ground, he naturally took out a special test tube.
However, when the mouth of the test tube was about to approach the mud on the ground, his movements suddenly stopped.
Look at the sludge-like sticky substance on the ground. It's not like an abyss with flowing starlight, it's pure darkness.
No...no, the doctor's eyes narrowed slightly. The other thing he saw in the darkness was a Qiuqiu man, a Qiuqiu man who looked very much like himself.
The palm holding the test tube trembled unconsciously a few times, and then the doctor straightened up.
He looked down at the squirming mud on the ground. The wailing and twisted version of himself just now seemed to be an illusion.
"Forget it, just throw this thing out. Its destination is outside the world."
The doctor discovered that the previous experiment was not perfect. At least in theory, he should have eliminated all unnecessary emotions, but he actually had an emotion called "withdrawal" at this moment.
Chapter 642 Mr. Kaia, an enthusiastic citizen
2024-05-03
Mondstadt City has returned to its former peace after the dragon disaster disappeared. Countless raw materials from all over the world were brought into this city, and then turned into various fine wines that were sold throughout the continent.
At this time, Alos was lost in the crowd of Mondstadt City.
He was the first Qiuqiu person purified by Ember. Because he was obsessed with gaining friendship during the Qiuqiu period, he came to Mondstadt from the underground just to meet the girl named "Ella".
However, he had just woken up from the curse. Human memory only stayed five hundred years ago, and the memory of the Qiuqiu people was so blurred that it was impossible to see.
If the idea of "making friends with humans" hadn't impressed him too much as a Qiuqiu man, I'm afraid that the only imprint left on Yalos from his time as a Qiuqiu man would be his fluent Qiuqiu language and Those weird instincts in the body that greatly affect life.
As a native of Kanria, Yaros's impression of the Seven Kingdoms is limited to various hearsay, and it is also hearsay from five hundred years ago.
So it was a blessing that he could come to Mondstadt. As for finding a specific person in such a big city, it was like a fantasy.
There was a rush of people, and Alos, who was standing there, wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say. I heard that humans on the ground all believed in gods, but he never had any special feelings for gods.
Yaros was afraid that if he didn't pay attention, he would violate the taboo of the Mondstadt people.
"Yo! Look what I found? A confused traveler?" Just when Yalos was at a loss, a surprise call came from behind him.
Turning his head to look, Alos discovered that the person who slapped him on the shoulder was a strange man wearing an eyepatch.
"Traveler, that's true. I have indeed been in Mondstadt for a few days." Jaros smiled. He had just visited part of Mondstadt in a few days.
"Really? What do you think of the scenery in Mondstadt?" Kaia looked at the cross stars in Yalos's pupils and tried his best to maintain his composure.
"Haha, if things are not done, how can I bother to see the beautiful scenery." Yaros didn't notice Kaia's abnormality at all. He scratched his head and said helplessly.
"Is that so? I guess you need a qualified guide." Kaia smiled at Yaros and stretched out his hand.
"I think so too, and it seems that there is a good choice in front of me." Yaros shook Kaia's hand.
……
In the private room on the second floor of the Deer Hunter Restaurant, Kaia and Jaros chatted with each other while tasting Mondstadt specialties.
"Looking for Ella?" Kaia was a little surprised when she heard the purpose of Yalos' trip. This choice was something he didn't expect.
"That's right, it's some of mine..." Yaros paused, then smiled with relief, "It's some of my thoughts."
Regardless of whether he can eventually become friends with Ella, he can say goodbye to his experience as a Qiuqiu person.
"It's not easy to find Ella. She always likes to get involved with the Qiuqiu people..."
Kaia lowered his head as he spoke, and at the same time, his voice became weaker and weaker.
"What's wrong? Kaia, are you feeling unwell?" Seeing Kaia's abnormality, Yaros was immediately worried.
Your luck isn't so bad, right? Just now a kind person wanted to take me to find someone, and something went wrong?
"Oh? It's okay. You don't know something. This girl Ella always likes to go to Qiuqiu Camp, which gives us a lot of headaches."
Kaia raised his head and took a sip of the drink next to him, shaking his head, looking very distressed.
"Really? That's really a personality." Yaros nodded in agreement. If she didn't have such a personality, how could she make friends with a Qiuqiu person?
"Haha, it would be better if her personality could be restrained." Kaiya also laughed a few times in response.
He looked at Alos's clothes that did not belong to any country, and pretended to ask casually:
"Looking at Yalosi's appearance, he doesn't look like us Mondlanders. How could he know Ayla?"
Alos paused unnaturally when he heard this, but he quickly covered it up.
"Oh, I'm also interested in the language of the Chuchu people, and Ella is an expert in this field. I admire her very much, so I came to Mondstadt to find her."
Yaros explained quickly that he had changed this rhetoric again and again, and finally it came into use.
"That's it." Kaia nodded, then he looked at the clean table and said to Yaros: "Let's go, it's time for inspection. I'll look for Ella with you."
"Time for patrol..." Alos stood up and looked at Kaia in front of him in surprise.
"Kaia, the captain of the Knights of Favonius, serves the travelers who come on the wind." Kaia stood up and hammered his chest at Alos, the spirit of chivalry shining on his body.
"You are actually the captain of the Knights. Kaia, you are really hiding your secrets!"
"It's nothing special. It's such a busy job. What did you do before? It must be easier than me, right?"
"Um..., well...I'm just working a part-time job now. I'm out of work, so I have time to go out and hang out."
Yalos smiled awkwardly. The apostles were so capable that they made a large group of Kanria survivors idle.
"Really? Are you interested in finding a job in Mondstadt? I have many good recommendations."
Kaia raised her eyebrows and extended her palm to Yalos as she walked.
Looking at the enthusiastic Kaia in front of him, Yaros suddenly remembered the scene when Sora explained the situation to everyone.
[The Seven Gods and the Sky destroyed Kanria. As citizens of the motherland, whether to hate or forgive, I believe you will make your own choice. 】
"Forget it, I'm afraid I won't be able to get a stable job." Yaros shook his head and rejected Kaiya's proposal.
"Okay, what a pity." Kaia didn't bother too much. He nodded and gradually led Yaros out of the city.
Outside the city of Mondstadt is a large green field. If an outsider were in it, he would really get lost in it.
