"What about you two—any objections to this method?"
"Teyvat's medical advancement requires your contributions."
Gu Chen smiled as he looked at Dottore and Scaramouche.
Dottore's mouth twitched. His face was still swollen, his expression nearly twisted.
Judging by the way that man named Baizhu talked in the group chat…
Dottore felt that this person might be even more dangerous than himself in certain aspects.
Terrifying!
Scaramouche also felt it was absurd.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and muttered, "Just give me a swift death."
"That'd be too easy for you," Gu Chen shrugged.
Scaramouche: "…"
Hard to refute.
He won't die.
He doesn't want to be tortured.
His emotions plunged again.
"Looks like neither of you wants to speak. Excellent. I'll take that as agreement."
Gu Chen nodded in satisfaction. "Kunikuzushi, your uncle-in-law never misjudged you. You do have the willingness to contribute to Teyvat. Worthy of praise!"
Scaramouche: "…"
What kind of insane logic is this?
[Kaya]: I'm gonna laugh myself apart at this rate. (lol)
[Yae Miko]: I always knew this child had potential~ (mischievous)
[Ei]: …Actually this method is quite acceptable. (nod)
It punishes him, and benefits Teyvat. Perfectly balanced—in Ei's mind at least.
[Yaoyao]: I can see it now—Doctor Baizhu will surely push medical progress forward!
[Baizhu]: Just imagining severed limbs being reattached successfully… inspiring! @Dottore @Scaramouche
[Baizhu]: From now on, your bodies no longer belong to yourselves, but to the medical advancement of Teyvat! (concerned tone)
[Keqing]: This reminds me of Qiming Academy… if Teyvat had that level of medical science, ordinary people would truly benefit!
[Itto]: Does medicine even matter now that everyone can cultivate immortality?
[Kuki Shinobu]: Boss… not everyone has talent. Most will always remain close to ordinary. They still rely on medicine.
People's feelings were not connecting—at least Dottore and Scaramouche felt that way.
The barrage of messages scrolling across the screen stabbed their souls.
Even Dottore, who prided himself on being a villain, found the situation absurd.
He could NOT accept this ending.
"Don't waste your effort," Gu Chen chuckled. "I'll also deal with your other segments."
All Dottores. All punished.
Oddly, after hearing that, the original Dottore felt… slightly better.
Twisted? Yes.
But emotional relief came nonetheless.
"Dottore! It's all because of you!"
Scaramouche swung a fist at him.
But Gu Chen grabbed his wrist. "Don't rush. He still has many punishments left. If you injure him too much and he dies, how would he contribute to Teyvat's science?"
Scaramouche froze—then slowly lowered his fist, giving Dottore a cold smirk.
"Of course, you'll contribute too," Gu Chen added.
Scaramouche: "…Shouldn't have asked."
"Alright, your turn."
He gestured.
One touch of spiritual light sent Scaramouche screaming on the floor too—madness, pain, despair.
"From now on, you'll live in long, unending suffering… not for redemption anymore, but so you can taste the pain you've caused others."
Gu Chen raised his hand.
Fog formed in his palm—inside it, a miniature world shimmered.
He held Teyvat in his hand.
[Kaya]: HOLY—Is that Mondstadt's terrain in his palm?!
[Zhongli]: Logically speaking… yes. That is the whole of Teyvat.
[Venti]: So he could crush the world anytime if he wanted??
[Azhdaha]: If it's the Lord, even holding the universe wouldn't surprise me.
[Paimon]: Then… what is he doing??
Nahida answered: "He's probably applying the punishment to Dottore's other segments."
"Smart child," Gu Chen nodded.
They wrapped up the broadcast.
Nahida asked, "We're just leaving them like this?"
"They can't threaten anyone now. And I've already cleaned up the hidden danger Dottore left under Sumeru City."
"Of course you did!" Nahida beamed.
They left.
The aftermath spread to the ordinary chat group.
People were horrified at first—but after learning the truth, rage replaced doubt.
Dottore didn't deserve humanity.
Scaramouche tried to replace the Dendro Archon; he'd been sentenced to death long ago.
The Fatui and Snezhnaya remained silent.
But Tartaglia did not.
[Tartaglia]: What a great day~ (photo: eating steamed buns in prison with inmates)
[Kaya]: Brother… your mental state worries me.
[Tartaglia]: They were jerks. I never liked them anyway. (lol)
[Keqing]: So your Tsaritsa is the biggest villain?
[Furina]: Trial! She must be tried!
[Neuvillette]: A ruler must answer for her subordinates' sins.
[Tartaglia]: …I'll just lie low and wait for the next video.
[Kaya]: Speaking of that—where's the next fan-made video? Update!!
[Zhongli]: No need…
[Venti]: Grandpa got traumatized by the last one huh? Relax, maybe it won't be about you this time!
[Zhongli]: …What if it is about you?
[Venti]: Oh? That'd be GREAT! (sparkle eyes)
Everyone: "???"
Suddenly—
A new notification appeared.

[Zhongli]: ??? Why me again??
[Azhdaha]: Haha! I'm in this one too. Curious how they'll portray us.
[Venti]: Let's hope you'll still laugh tomorrow.
[Kaya]: Didn't get a new reincarnation video, but this is good too! Tomorrow will be fun.
[Furina]: Thank you Morax & Azhdaha for contributing to our entertainment!
