Dotore from Genshin Impact is my teacher

Chen Xi snorted coldly, as if letting them off the hook: "Hmph, I'm in a good mood today, so I won't bother with you. You can leave now."

The officer and his men hurriedly bowed and scraped before the young executive officer in front of them, saying, "Yes, yes!"

This behavior reveals that the Fools' Clique is rife with bureaucracy.

As they turned to leave, Chen Xi casually tainted them with karmic debt. It's truly intriguing to see what will happen to these modified humans when they are tainted by the karmic debt extracted from the remnants of a demon god.

"You're mine now, so don't be afraid." Chen Xi gave the brother and sister what he thought was a kind smile, but the brother and sister, who had suffered inhumane treatment, saw it as a lewd grin.

From the conversation between the officer and the man in front of him, the brother learned that the man was the officer's superior, and that the officer had given them to him in order to curry favor with him. Therefore, the brother was convinced that the man in front of him was not a good person either.

Chen Xi patiently explained to them, "I am an executor of the Fools. Executors protect ordinary people, so please don't be afraid. I am here to eliminate bad people."

The older brother kept a wary eye on Chen Xi and assumed a fighting stance. If this man dared to harm them, he would stab him in the chest with the dagger he had stolen.

Sure enough, dealing with children is the most troublesome. Chen Xi tried to reason with them: "I'm here to save you, so could you please stop thinking about getting rid of this person in front of you?"

The younger sister, who had been hiding behind her brother, poked her head out and questioned, "You said you came to eliminate the bad guys, so why did you let those people who just left go?"

Chen Xi looked helpless, feeling a sense of discrimination as if he were explaining problems to a child in a lower grade: "We need to play the long game, catch all the bad guys in one fell swoop. Those few people were just time bombs. They will die when their time comes. I won't let the bad guys get away with it, especially them."

With a sigh for those who had been sold here, Chen Xi concluded by saying, "The net of heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it."

The younger sister, who had already peeked out from under the covers, asked in confusion, "What does that mean?"

(Note:)

The net of Heaven: This refers to the punishment of Heaven. "Huihui" describes something vast and expansive. "Sparse" means loose or incomplete. "Lou" means to miss or overlook. The principle of Heaven is like a net, vast and boundless, seemingly sparse, yet leaving no one out. It means that Heaven is the most just and forgiving, but it will not let a single evil person escape. Now it describes how bad people cannot escape the punishment of the law.

(Source: Lao Tzu: "The net of Heaven is vast; though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it." Wei Shu, Biography of the Prince of Rencheng: "The net of Heaven is vast; though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it.")

Skipping over the long string of words, Chen Xi translated it in simple terms: "Bad people can never escape the punishment of the law, that's roughly the idea. Always trust the efficiency of the masses; if the King of Hell orders someone to die at midnight, who dares to keep them alive until dawn?"

(Note: This is from Chapter 16 of Dream of the Red Chamber: "Don't you know the saying: 'If the King of Hell calls you to die at midnight, who dares to keep you alive until dawn?'")

My younger sister scratched her head: "I don't understand the second half of the sentence..."

The fact that someone could utter such righteous words makes one wonder what their face looks like beneath that mask.

The older brother made a request: "Can we see your face under the mask? If so, we'll go with you."

“Okay.” Chen Xi took off his mask with one hand, looked at the brother and sister kindly, and smiled innocently on his handsome face. No one would associate him with the man who had just beaten the officer until he vomited blood.

The brother, who had been wary, saw his savior's face and exclaimed, "So beautiful!"

"Thank you for your compliment." Chen Xi appeared behind him at some point, draped a thick Fatui outfit over his sister, and even put a Fatui mask on her herself.

"When did you get behind me?" the older brother asked in surprise. Fortunately, the other party didn't make a move, otherwise he definitely wouldn't have been able to beat him.

"Just as you're staring blankly at my face. Here, this set is yours, remember to wear the mask."

Looking at the thick clothes handed to him, the older brother recognized the Fools symbol on them. He gritted his teeth as if making a decision, and took the clothes and the mask placed on them. The thick coat added warmth to his body. Chen Xi was worried and put the mask on him herself.

The older brother lowered his posture and asked cautiously, "How should I address you?"

Chen Xi didn't care and put his mask back on: "Just like those new recruits, you can call me Lord [Wanderer] or Boss."

The brother and sister responded in unison, "Yes, [Traveler] sir."

Chen Xi straightened the collars of the brother and sister one by one. The two of them finally looked like soldiers of the Fools' Army, no longer playthings of the powerful and wealthy. Their appearance was completely renewed. Chen Xi nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, you look quite spirited. From now on, you will be my personal guards. Tell me your names."

The older brother looked dejected: "We don't have names..."

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Chen Xi felt a deep sense of sympathy and an idea popped into her mind: "No names... that's easy, how about I give you some?"

"That's great!" the younger sister exclaimed, then covered her mouth.

Chen Xi began to use his brain, which he hadn't used much in a year. The two words "Yi Xi" appeared in his mind. He stroked his chin, thought about it for a while, and then made up his mind: "One of you is named Xi Meng, and the younger one is named Xi Yan. How about that? You don't need to take my surname."

The younger sister praised, "This name is so cultured. In that dog cage-like place, we only had numbers, not names."

These keywords easily made Chen Xi's mind wander: "Dog cages? Selling attractive women to the powerful and wealthy? Isn't this just like the scam groups in northern Myanmar in our world?"

"Huh?" The older brother looked puzzled.

Cross-platform communication means they're not even on the same server, so it's no wonder they can't understand each other. Chen Xi simply told them, "You won't understand. Fine, I'll tell you anyway because of your curiosity. It's a very evil organization that does human trafficking. The people they trafficked have suffered even more than you have."

"The organs of living people are removed and sold to those who don't have much time left. Those who disobey are locked in water dungeons, where their legs swell up from being submerged in water. The lid of the water dungeon forces the people inside to hunch over in the filthy, smelly water. What's worse, the fully armed guards throw poisonous snakes into the water dungeons when they're bored."

"Moreover, the underground of the water dungeon is protected against small nails and some animals. The entire underground of the water dungeon is covered in blood. In addition, those who disobey will be subjected to electric shocks, stabbings, etc., making it a living hell. And this is just the most basic situation. In more serious cases, they may even lose their lives."
