Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Chapter 430: Escher is the Doctor! The Last Respect Between Mother and Son

Escher looked down at Niwa Hisahide with a teasing look in his eyes, "Why? Because your heart is of great use to me, my dear Niwa Jizheng."

"Heh... I'm just an ordinary warrior and the chief of the Weaponry Department. What use can my heart be?" Niwa Hisahide gave a pale smile.

Escher played with the container in his hand. The beating heart inside emitted a strange red light. He looked at Niwa Hisahide with a half-smile, "Master Si Zheng, you don't need to know too much. You just need to know that you are just a chess piece that I have abandoned."

Unexpectedly, Niwa Hisahide was not angry at what Escher said. Instead, he was silent for a moment and then said, "Escher, you are not a mechanic from Fontaine, are you?"

Escher was slightly startled, and then a playful smile appeared on his face: "Niwa Sizheng, I am really surprised that you can still be so sharp at this time. But you guessed right, I am indeed not a mechanic of Fontaine."

There was a hint of grimness in Niwa Hisahide's eyes: "Who are you? What are you planning?!"

Escher laughed, and his laughter echoed in the heart of the blazing Imperial Shadow Furnace, revealing a chilling eeriness.

"Hahaha, conspiracy? No no no, this is not a conspiracy, this word is too narrow. Everything I do is to achieve a greater plan."

"A great plan? Your so-called plan is to deliberately cause the heart of the Yuying furnace to go out of control, disregarding the lives of the workers and civilians of the Tadashi Sand, and even taking my heart?! Is this what you call great?"

There was a flash of sadness in Niwa Hisahide's eyes, and his voice was filled with anger and sarcasm.

Escher still had that chilling smile on his face. He didn't seem to care about Niwa Hisahide's accusations. Instead, he carefully observed the heart in his hand as if he was appreciating a piece of work of art.

"Innocent? Oh, Niwa Jizheng, you are wrong. There are no innocent people in this world. Everyone is a chess piece on the chessboard, just some are more important and some are not so important. As for taking the heart, it is only a small part of my plan, a necessary sacrifice."

"Well, Master Niwaji, my dear friend, you should have died immediately after losing your heart. The reason you are still able to speak is only because of my power that you have survived for a little longer.

I'm not telling you this to make you understand me, but because we're colleagues, I don't want you to die confused. Since you want to know my identity, then... as you wish."

Escher bent slightly with his hands behind his back, approaching Niwa Hisahide, with a hint of teasing in his indifferent eyes.

Under the light of the fire, his ordinary face began to distort like a reflection on the water.

A moment later, a completely different face appeared in front of Niwa Hisahide.

It was a pale and handsome face with a bit of evil charm, and a pair of eyes as deep as the abyss, as if they could devour a person's soul. "This is the real me."

His voice was low and magnetic, yet it was chillingly cold.

Niwa Hisahide widened his eyes, while the scattered soldiers who were looking at the screen had their pupils suddenly shrink.

"Dotore?!" Sanbing asked with a hint of disbelief.

"Is this... Doctor?" Shen He, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke out in confusion. She had seen this face before when she was in Mond.

At that time, she, Su Xun and Youla were patrolling in the wild together, and they met the Doctor while searching for mutant beasts.

"What?! This is the Doctor?"

"Ah! This guy is the doctor?"

Everyone started talking in surprise. They had never expected that this Escher was actually the Fatui's executive doctor.

"I didn't expect that this guy has lived from hundreds of years ago to the present. He deserves to be the second in command..." Kitsuzhaigu frowned.

You know, even the powerful owner of the Eye of God only has a lifespan of a few hundred years before becoming a god. But the Doctor has been active for hundreds of years, which makes everyone very surprised at his strength.

In addition, from the glimpse I have now gotten of the conspiracy he has laid out, I can see that this man is extremely intelligent, and I can't help but feel even more wary of him.

Sanbing's eyes were full of hatred and regret. He had always wrongly blamed Niwa and vented his pain and hatred in the wrong direction.

There seemed to be a fire burning in his heart. This fire was not only the overwhelming hatred for the Doctor, but also the anger towards himself.

"Duo! Tuo! Lei!" Sanbing gritted his teeth and squeezed out the name word by word. Every syllable sounded like a roar from the depths of his soul.

A faint blue light began to appear around his body, which was the power in his body surging uncontrollably.

"I will make you pay a thousand times the price!" Sanbing's voice was low and full of murderous intent. He clenched his fists, his nails dug into his palms, and blood flowed out, but he didn't feel the pain at all, his heart was full of hatred for the doctor.

Nashida looked at the excited Sanbing and sighed softly without comforting him.

There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. Although she knew that Sanbing was also a victim at the beginning, he had committed many sins over the years.

"Sanbing, since the doctor is your enemy, then telling us his information should not be considered as betraying your colleagues, right?" Su Xun teased.

He would not sympathize with the scattered soldiers or take their feelings into consideration.

In his previous life, when he was playing games, he experienced this kid's foul mouth and bad character from beginning to end. Now he would feel sorry for himself if he didn't deliberately make fun of him.

The scattered soldier looked at Su Xun coldly, then looked at Nashida.

He took a deep breath and said, "I will tell you everything I know, but I have a request... no, a request."

"You say." Nashida looked at him quietly.

"Let me go and let me seek revenge on the doctor!" Sanbing gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I don't want to escape death. I know the crimes I committed in the past, and I won't ask for your forgiveness. I just want to end this hatred with my own hands."

"No matter if I succeed in the end or not, I will not continue to live like this!"

Listening to Sanbing's firm words, everyone knew his determination at this moment.

It seems that this guy has already decided to die...

Nashida looked at Su Xun and Lei Yingyan: "Dad, Mom Ying, you make the decision."

Su Xun and Lei Dianying looked at each other, Su Xun smiled gently and said: "Ying, he is your creation."

Lei Dianying was silent for a while, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

She wasn't very clear about Sanbing's past, but she knew he had done a lot of wrong things.

So when she decided to kill him just now, she did not hesitate.

But now that Sanbing has decided to embark on the road of revenge and is determined to die, she doesn't have to do it herself.

Well, let’s just say it gave them the last bit of dignity between “mother and son”.
