The crowd of Fatui suddenly fell silent.
The Doctor finally agreed to the Banker's request.
Things could not continue like this.
So now, making money had become the top priority of Snezhnaya.
Thinking of this, the Doctor decided to cooperate with the Banker to earn funds first.
Research could not continue without money.
Even Delusions might be sold.
Well… he wasn't sure if anyone wanted them.
And the construction of new rockets also required a large amount of funding.
For a moment, he muttered to himself.
"By the way, they say there's a giant monster on the snowy mountain."
"Did any of you send people over there?"
The Captain suddenly remembered.
He looked at everyone present.
Hearing his words, the Doctor raised his head thoughtfully.
"I sent my—"
"Dead!"
Before he could finish, his expression darkened.
He had suddenly sensed that his slice had died.
His slices were like clones—
different personalities, but he could feel them.
This time, several slices had wanted to explore the mountain.
So he allowed it.
But now… all of them were dead?
His slices were not weak.
Just approaching something and dying instantly—
that meant there was something terrifying up there.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath.
What was happening over there?
For once, even the Doctor felt uneasy.
When the others heard what he said, their expressions also turned serious.
At that moment, the Ice Queen's voice echoed calmly.
"Give up investigating the snow mountain."
"The ones there are people we cannot afford to provoke."
As she spoke, there was a hint of heaviness in her tone.
Morax had contacted her.
He warned her not to approach the snow mountain.
There were powerful beings from another world residing there.
And some of them were even stronger than he was.
The amount of information was terrifying.
Seeing the Doctor's reaction, she understood immediately.
The best thing now was not to touch the snow mountain at all.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died.
At the same time, she was deeply curious.
Another world…
Naturally, Takumi soon received news from Sakura.
Someone tried to invade the Promised Land?
And she eliminated them?
Takumi was shocked when he received the report.
He rushed there immediately.
When he reached the top of the snowy mountain, he saw those killed by Sakura.
Seeing the identical faces,
Takumi fell silent.
The Doctor's slices?
"At first glance, they didn't look like good people, so I killed them."
Sakura's figure appeared beside him.
Takumi nodded.
"Just kill them."
"There are many guys like this."
"They're like duplicates."
"Don't worry about it."
He truly didn't care.
In the original plot, these slices would have been erased by Nahida eventually.
If they died early now, that was fine.
Maybe he should erase all of the Doctor's slices?
As he thought this, Takumi's eyes narrowed.
He began locating the remaining slices through Liyue's global network.
Those people were not good.
And if the Doctor realized his slices had died,
he would surely send more.
If so, eliminate all of them.
In an instant, Takumi locked onto their locations.
He discovered they were even holding mobile phones.
"Heh~"
Weren't they just revealing their positions?
Thinking of this, Takumi launched a network-based attack calmly.
The power of the Herrscher of Knowledge burst forth.
The slices in the middle of experiments lost consciousness instantly—
and then died.
The Doctor in Snezhnaya nearly collapsed.
They all died?
Damn it!
He was utterly stunned.
All of his slices had vanished at once.
Apparently, the Queen had been correct.
They should not have gone to the snowy mountain.
Although the slices were all dead, perhaps it was for the best.
Some slices annoyed him anyway.
Maybe it was better this way.
"All of this is fate!"
After finishing everything, Takumi sighed.
The Doctor's slices were destined to disappear.
Now, the timeline was simply corrected—
manually.
He looked at the corpses Sakura had killed.
He waved his hand.
The bodies turned to ash and scattered across the snow.
"That's enough."
"Sakura, if you have nothing else to do, you can explore other places."
"Across the sea is a nation called Inazuma."
"It's similar to your old homeland."
"You can take a look."
"Mei is currently over there."
Sakura nodded.
"I know."
"The Guuji Shinshō told me."
Yae Miko had introduced several novels to her—
many made her feel nostalgic.
Takumi nodded.
He didn't say more.
After chatting a bit longer, he left.
Because of his intervention, the Doctor's slices had all been wiped out.
If the Doctor knew, he would definitely be depressed.
But Takumi didn't care.
Returning to his manor, he scratched his head.
He had been running back and forth all day.
There shouldn't be anything else calling him out… right?
Takumi muttered to himself.
Fortunately, nothing else required him to go out.
Instead, Mei returned from Inazuma.
She had been dragged there to "play" for a few days.
Now she had finally come back to Liyue.
To be honest, when she arrived in Inazuma, she experienced what it felt like to be treated as royalty.
As soon as she arrived, the Shogun declared Mei to be her younger sister.
Thus she became Princess of Inazuma.
She was completely confused.
Just like that, she became a princess.
Many people stared at her, curious about the situation.
Unable to handle the attention, she returned early.
She was exhausted.
Seeing Mei and Lumine entering from outside, Takumi smiled.
"Back already?"
"How was your trip?"
Looking at Mei's tired expression, Takumi was amused.
What was with that exhausted look?
She was a Herrscher—
how could she be tired?
What an unqualified Herrscher.
Hearing Takumi's question, Mei sighed.
"So tired!"
"This was more exhausting than when I was running for my life in Changkong City."
"I might not go to Inazuma again."
"The people there are too enthusiastic."
"It's unbearable."
Just mentioning it made her expression darken.
It had truly been too overwhelming for her.
