Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

Chapter 646: Storm is Coming (2 chapters in 1)

"You should know that Scaramucci's ascension to the godhood was not completed."

Seeing Zuo Xi frowning, Dotole became more excited. He continued to explain the unfinished experiment to Zuo Xi with great interest... That's right, the key to the experiment was still Scaramucci.

His "ritual" is still missing one last step.

"'Knowledge of God', right? Do you expect that to bring about any kind of success?"

Scaramucci has not yet fully digested the knowledge of the gods. I guess it's not that he can't digest it, but you set a threshold for him, right?"

Unlike the previous time that Zuo Xi knew, this time Scaramucci and Dotore had absolutely enough time to inject and absorb that "God's Canned Knowledge".

But for all he observed, Scaramucci was not able to accomplish the task.

It's definitely not that he can't absorb it, nor is it that he can't digest it. Although his behavior is crazy, he is still rational, and the knowledge he possesses is far from being so exaggerated.

This can only be because he did not inject the jar of knowledge into it at all, otherwise he would either become crazy like the people of the Eye of Achmar, or he would completely complete the steps of the ritual and finally be upgraded.

Scaramucci never showed any of that.

Why? Is it because he doesn't want to?

Of course not. Scaramucci is willing to do anything to become a god, and there is no way he will stop at the last moment.

Then it can only be that another implementer of the plan was causing trouble... Dotole deliberately did not inject the can of divine knowledge into Scaramucci, but lied to him that he had completed this step and just needed time to digest it.

Zuo Xi didn’t know what his purpose was, but considering all factors, it definitely wouldn’t be a good thing.

Maybe he was planning to use this to threaten them?

After all, Zuo Xi and he both knew that the so-called "knowledge of God" would drive people crazy. Maybe he was planning to use this as a condition to blackmail them?

A god who has fallen into madness is completely different from an ordinary person. Nashida is likely not willing to take the risk... From this point of view, it seems not impossible that Dotore has this plan.

"Well... if it's you, I'm not surprised you could guess to this extent."

Zuo Xi's guess was obviously close to the truth, but it was still incomplete. At the beginning, Dotole was a little surprised that the other party could guess this... But when he thought about the fact that he was Zuo Xi, it didn't seem so surprising.

"Threshold, threshold... What kind of threshold did you set for him? He even wanted to expose himself but couldn't trigger it... The conditions are so harsh, could it be the "truth"? Did you put the triggering conditions into the World Tree?"

No, no, no... You don't have this ability, at least you don't have the authority to directly interfere with the World Tree... Is it emotion? Or something simpler..."

Zuo Xi continued to guess, getting closer to the truth of the matter step by step.

First of all, as Zuo Xi said, Scaramucci had already reached the end of his rope and still failed to meet that condition. This shows that the condition is not only harsh, but also beyond Scaramucci's control.

In addition, it will not be something simple like a button that triggers it directly. After all, as I said before, Duotore will not allow uncontrollable risks to occur during the experiment.

This kind of thing that can be physically blocked is useless to Zuo Xi. Not to mention that the other party stupidly ran up to him and mocked him... It doesn't matter if this slice is slapped to death, what matters is that the experiment will definitely be affected.

Excluding all these, and considering the timing of the other party's appearance... Zuo Xi felt that it was either a timing device or an emotional threshold.

After all, what is the time now? It is time for Scaramucci to enter the World Tree to seek the truth.

After knowing the truth, what parameter of his body changed the most? If we were to visualize his emotions, his parameter that changed the most would definitely be anger... He was so angry that he wanted to kill Dotore at all costs.

As for the timing device... that's easier to understand. Set a time, and then start counting from when Scaramucci's body is damaged to a certain extent.

This ensures that this node occurs after Scaramucci's failure, and also ensures that some time is left for communication with himself.

As for which specific one it is, Yu Hong is not sure.

If the purpose is to seek stability, the latter is absolutely stable and basically no accidents will occur.

But Dottore always has an inexplicable competitive spirit towards him. If it is to satisfy his competitive spirit, the first option is obviously more likely.

After all, if it is the first case, it means that he is better in the game with You Ran... because this possibility takes Zuo Xi's choice into consideration.

This will only happen if we are certain that Zuo Xi knows the inside story and is willing to let Scaramucci atone for his sins.

In other words, if it is really the first case, then the prerequisite for the success of this plan is absolute trust in Zuo Xi.

Not only does he trust Zuo Xi's uncanny intelligence capabilities, he also believes that he can learn the inside story of that year through various channels.

And you have to believe in Youhong's style of doing things, and be sure that he will not execute Scaramucci immediately, but give him a chance to learn the truth and atone for it.

You have to have this level of faith to ensure the successful implementation of the plan.

Given the doctor's desire for control, he felt that the second possibility was more likely. But considering his arrogance and desire to win, it was basically certain to be the first possibility.

"...You are really amazing, Mortal. I didn't expect you to have guessed the triggering conditions... That's right, the triggering condition is Scaramucci's "anger" towards me. Anger close to the critical value..."

Dotole was stunned for a moment, and then there was a soft clapping sound from his hands. He was applauding Zuo Xi, and was impressed by the fact that he had made an almost accurate guess in a short period of time.

He almost never admires others, but Zuo Xi is an exception... This is not a genius, this is a monster.

"..."

Zuo Xi had mixed feelings. Dotore's trust and praise always made him feel a little uneasy.

The other party was a little too calm...too calm to be exposed. He must have a backup plan, and his plan was definitely not as simple as what I guessed.

"Ah, it seems like it's about time..."

……

"What on earth are they talking about?"

When Zuo Xi and Dotore were confronting each other... or chatting, the others did not interrupt them untactfully.

Even Tartaglia, who had lost his temper at the beginning, now shut up and watched how things developed.

But no matter whether they interrupted or not, everyone's attention was still focused on the content of their conversation. After all, the other party came uninvited and had a very bad reputation, so it was hard to think that the other party had any good intentions.

In addition to paying attention, they will also discuss their experiences with each other and exchange opinions on the latest information and intelligence.

However, the person who asked that question obviously didn't understand anything - I believe there is no need to say more, everyone knows that this person is Paimon.

"Something like 'trigger conditions', 'divine wisdom', 'ritual', etc... Hmm, what on earth are they talking about?"

Paimeng listened for a long time and could understand every word, but when put together it became a mystery.

He didn't understand the meaning of the conversation between Zuo Xi and the Doctor, nor did he understand what the point of them saying all this was.

She thought the conversation would turn into a direct threat. Given Zuo Xi's temper, once the Doctor's threat came out it would immediately turn into a fight.

This is consistent with her impression of a tense negotiation... Why do Zuo Xi and [Doctor] seem to be chatting instead?

"Hmm... I guess that the previous state of [Scattered Soldiers] should not be the complete form."

In response to Paimon's doubts, Nashida gave her own guess.

"Since the purpose of the Ordinance is to create a god as powerful and wise as the Great Compassionate Tree King, in order to meet the concept of "omniscience and omnipotence"... then he must be powerful and master knowledge that does not belong to humans."

It is conceivable that a god created based on the template of the Great Compassionate Tree King would not be just a god of war with only combat capabilities.

Moreover, this is Xumi, the kingdom of wisdom. Since we have to meet the needs of the Ministry of Education, the previous performance of the [God of Righteousness] is obviously unsatisfactory.

“That’s right. The previous [God of Righteousness] did not embody any element of ‘omniscience’, but I don’t think the House of Religion will give up this pursuit.

So Sanbing must have missed a certain step, or "ritual". And this ritual must be to instill the "canned knowledge of the gods" into him, right?"

Elhaisen quickly caught up with Nashida's thoughts, and after quickly sorting them out to make sure there were no problems, he continued speaking.

"As for the so-called "threshold" and "trigger condition"... I think this should be an internal conflict between the Fatui or the implementers of this plan, right?"

There is not enough information to support this, and even speculation is very forced. Therefore, Elhaisen can only give such a relatively general answer.

"I see... So the scattered soldier from before was just a semi-finished product? A semi-finished product is so powerful..."

Fortunately, Paimon did not dwell on this. The answers from Nashida and Elhaisen solved her doubts very well.

"Let's not talk about this for now... Zuo Xi's expression is a little strange, it seems like they are having a conversation."

Ying interrupted their discussion because she noticed that there had been no news from Zuo Xi for a while. When she looked over, she found that Zuo Xi's expression was quite ugly...

She had seen this expression not long ago, when the World Tree was modified by Sanbing and things were out of Zuo Xi's control.

And now, Zuo Xi's expression was even more solemn than before... What on earth had happened?
