Dotore from Genshin Impact is my teacher

So this is what a human hug feels like... So warm. Even a villain like me doesn't deserve a hug...

I can sense the frequency of his heartbeat. (60-100 beats per minute is normal.)

That's reassuring, but my body, which has been modified by Dotole, can hardly be called human; it's more like a monster.

I wish he could stay here forever... I want to hold him a little longer...

...Ha, how ridiculous. How could I have such a thought? He was just an experimental subject, yet the experimenter developed feelings of dependence on him? Another variable.

……

Chen Xi: "Brother—can I take off my mask?"

The "scholar" was somewhat surprised. Following Chen Xi's instructions, he removed his mask, his red eyes fixed on the boy's eyes: "Were you calling me?"

Chen Xi nodded: "Yes, scholar brother..."

The scholar wanted to tease Chen Xi: "Good boy, let me hear you bark a few more times."

Chen Xi: "Brother, scholar brother, Dotore... I'm tired, I want to sleep."

The "scholar" was pleased and patted Chen Xi's head: "Sleep on my shoulder, you'll feel better after a nap."

……

After seeing that Chen Xi had fallen asleep, the "scholar" instructed Azir: "Go and dispose of these corpses, but don't let him find out."

Azir: "Your subordinate obeys."

As expected... madmen have no humanity.

He disguised himself very well, making it difficult for Chen Xi to distinguish between good and bad, but the bad things he had done were unforgivable.

He murdered his fellow scholars, kidnapped people from other countries and even soldiers of the Fools Clan for inhumane human modification experiments, and forced unruly soldiers to use their modified Evil Eyes to go berserk and kill... I simply cannot go against my conscience and morality to whitewash him. He can be a villain if he wants, as long as he is good to Chen Xi.

When the soldiers of the Fools saw that Chen Xi had not come out, they thought something had happened. But when they pushed open the office door, they saw a scene that they would never forget.

This person is actually sleeping with their head on the [Doctor's] shoulder... They have such a good relationship...

"Get out!"

"Yes, yes!" The foolish soldiers didn't forget to close the door before leaving.

I won't let anyone disturb you. Get some rest, and we'll come back to collect your blood tomorrow.

The "scholar" effortlessly scooped Chen Xi up in his arms and carried her back.

Most of the Fools soldiers who were on the mission had returned to the Goethe Hotel, so they must have seen it, and it will probably spread the news the next day.

……

Chen Xi called out in his mind: System, do you have any character's favorability towards me?

System response: Yes, whose do you want to view?

Chen Xi: Dotole.

System: Chen Xi, are you crazy? He's an experimental maniac. Even if he has feelings for you, it's only because he's interested in you as an experimental subject.

Chen Xi: Yes, it's about checking his information.

System: Forget it, I can't persuade you anyway. Just look at it yourself.

Character's favorability towards host:

Dotore's favorability towards the host is 800 (Danger!!!)

Of these, 60% were interested in the host as an experimental subject, and 40% felt favorable towards them.

-----------Divider Line-----------

Chen Xi: Goodness, what kind of danger are you talking about?

System: Dotole wants to dissect you alive, without even anesthesia, but fortunately he has 40% affection for you, so he won't do anything to you for now.

Chen Xi: If my affection level is maxed out, will he stop touching me?

System: Not necessarily. It's hard to guess the psychology of a madman like him.

Chen Xi: Shouldn't you upgrade? You can't even guess that.

System: It has indeed been a long time since the upgrade. I will shut down the computer and upgrade, which will take about a week.

……

Uncoagulated blood meets an unidentified pale blue reagent in a beaker. Stirring with a glass rod ensures thorough mixing and a reaction. The bright red blood absorbs all the unidentified pale blue reagent, and the liquid remains unchanged without any impurities being produced… (Chemistry terminology)

His blood can absorb the power of the demon god's remnants, but unfortunately there are only a few drops in the sample. This time, we'll take more.

The "scholar" took out sterilized needles from his suitcase, attached them to a syringe, and because a large volume was needed, the needles were thicker and the syringes were replaced with larger capacity ones.

It must hurt terribly when it gets stuck in a vein, Chen Xi knew that all too well. Who knew he'd use this! Last time he clearly used a small needle!

Chen Xi pleaded, "Scholar brother, could you please choose another one?"

The scholar decisively refused: "No."

Chen Xi turned her head away: "Be gentle, I'm afraid of pain."

The scholar said, "I'll try my best, just bear with it."

The needle pierced the vein, and the "scholar" slowly pulled the syringe, allowing the flowing blood to enter. Chen Xi dared not move at all.

"Ouch, don't smoke too much, I'll get anemia."

The "scholar" stopped pulling the syringe, removed the needle, and blood quickly gushed out of the vein, flowing onto Chen Xi's pants. Of course, the "scholar," as the instigator, also had some on his hands.

Chen Xi reminded, "Cotton swabs, cotton swabs, press them on quickly!"

The cotton swab was pressed against the wound, and the "scholar" pressed for three minutes before the bleeding stopped.

Chen Xi watched with a resentful look as the "scholar" put the sample into the box.

The "scholar" licked the blood from his hands and said, "Open your mouth."

Chen Xi: "What are you doing?"

Scholar: "Here's a reward for you, candy."

Chen Xi obediently opened his mouth to observe the "scholar's" next move. The "scholar" took out a cotton swab from his pocket and swiped it a few times inside Chen Xi's mouth.

The "scholar" explained, "We're collecting samples. I'll give you candy later." After saying that, he put the cotton swab into the container and stuffed a piece of candy into Chen Xi's mouth. As for what kind of chemical material it was made of, no one knew.

Chen Xi, however, was surprisingly relieved; it tasted quite good.

"Do you really think of me as a child? Is there anything else?"

The "scholar" then stuffed two more pieces into Chen Xi's hand: "That's all."

"May I ask what it's made of?"

"No."

"You didn't add anything weird to it, did you?"

"You don't trust me?"

"No, I just wanted to ask if I would die from eating it."

"will not."

"Scholar brother, I know you wouldn't hurt me."

"Okay, don't go out these next few days."

"why?"

"No reason, just rest."

Chen Xi felt like the whole world was spinning counterclockwise, and then everything went black and she fell into a deep sleep.

The "scholar" covered him with a blanket, removed the mask from his face that he hadn't taken off in a long time, and watched him quietly.

The boy's face still bore the traces of childhood innocence. He should have been full of vigor and ambition, but he was trapped in the struggles of the world. His right hand, which should have been holding a pen, was now wielding a knife to reap the lives of others.

……

Chen Xi, you are the most special test subject I have ever seen. Other test subjects either fear me or hate me, but you are different. You dare to approach me and take the initiative to find me. You don't have their fear or anger towards me, and you are even close to me. You are an exception.
