Dotore from Genshin Impact is my teacher

I'll be free after two classes!

I've been waiting for two weeks! If this stupid school doesn't give us a break soon, I'm going to go crazy.

There's no need to do any homework or anything; that's what the class representatives said exactly. They're not going to look at it anyway.

I have to go back to school tomorrow afternoon. Ugh.

The internal organs of the person preserved in the formalin-filled transparent jar appeared to be relatively intact; the skin had not peeled off, only showing some wrinkles.

(The reason a person's body decomposes after death is because the death of cells releases an enzyme that causes the body to slowly decay. Formalin, a drug whose main component is formaldehyde, can be used to disinfect and kill this enzyme. It can also denature proteins, so formalin is often used in medicine to make specimens. A corpse preserved in formalin will be dark in color, soft to the touch, and elastic.)

As a student, Chen Xi had never seen anything like this before, especially something on a person. Overwhelmed by curiosity, he leaned close to the transparent jar and stared intently at what was inside.

These patterns, really? They're just like the ones in the textbook! Doesn't that mean... they were really taken from a living person!

Remember the backstory? Dottore believed... that humans were merely more sophisticated machines, with all parts that could be disassembled and replaced to achieve higher performance. He was once a student of the Sumeru Order Academy, but his research ideas were too extreme, so he was expelled from the Academy.

After joining the Fools and becoming their second seat, he deceived the ignorant masses under the guise of recruiting soldiers, but in reality, he tricked them into going to the laboratory to conduct human modification experiments, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

Such disregard for life; I am but a small part of his many experiments.

But I believe he won't abandon me. I have too many secrets; he can't bear to part with me. I can't interfere in other people's affairs; it would only drag me down with them. I can't stop him; I can't beat him.

Thinking of this, a sense of unease welled up in Chen Xi's heart, and she tugged at the "scholar's" clothes: "Let's go... let's go."

"Scared?"

Chen Xi remained defiant: "...No."

"Any normal person's first reaction upon entering here would be fear, but with me by your side, there's nothing to fear."

"Okay, let's keep going."

……

The well-preserved corpses were immersed in a colorless, transparent liquid in a special cylindrical device. They seemed to have never died, but were just sleeping in the device. Chen Xi suspected that they would wake up at any moment.

When Chen Xi heard the ear-piercing sound of a chainsaw, he didn't hesitate to pull the "scholar" to the source of the sound. It turned out to be a group of researchers wearing white coats processing corpses. They were cutting open the bodies, removing the internal organs, putting them into jars containing formalin, and removing all the flesh from the corpses, leaving only the bones to make specimens.

After all the flesh and skin were removed, the second stage began: using the traditional boiling method to remove the soft tissue from the bones, effectively clearing away the bone marrow fat and preventing the bones from decaying. The limbs were sawed off with an electric saw, and the remaining body parts were divided into several pieces and slowly boiled in a large earthenware pot of boiling water.

Chen Xi couldn't believe what they were saying. Was this something a human being would do? Boiling human limbs in a pot? The delicious smell she'd been smelling was coming from here?! Were they eating people? Wasn't it said that you shouldn't eat your own kind?

Chen Xi was furious; this violated human decency and morality. Just then, she inadvertently noticed another child showing clear signs of life, his chest rising and falling, indicating he was breathing.

He immediately drew his knife and rushed over, angrily demanding, "What are you doing? Did Dotore order you to do this?"

Those people were startled by Chen Xi. After a moment, the leader asked, "Who are you? Don't you know you can't trespass here?"

Chen Xi calmed his anger and took out the Evil Eye: "I am the twelfth seat [Wanderer]. Do you intend to murder your superior?"

"Scholars" are watching all of this from their blind spot.

Upon seeing the special evil eye representing the executive officer, the leader's attitude towards Chen Xi instantly changed 360 degrees: "No, no, what brings you here, [Wanderer]?"

Chen Xi pointed to the child lying on the ground and said, "This person is still alive, I want him."

The leader knew his relationship with the [Doctor] and dared not refuse: "Do you need someone to help deliver this to the lab?"

Chen Xi's face darkened, and a murderous aura surged within him. He hoisted the child onto his shoulder and demanded, "Can anyone tell me what this boiled human bone is all about?"

The leader hurriedly explained, "These are the steps required for preparing a specimen..."

The others chimed in, "Yes, he didn't lie to you."

Chen Xi had indeed heard of this method before, but because the "scholars" were nearby, he chose to let them go.

……

Perhaps it was just my own overactive compassion, which is laughable, to put myself in darkness and still try to save others.

"Scholar brother!"

The scholar noticed the child: "Oh? You brought someone."

"I snatched it from those people; I was almost dismembered." Chen Xi wiped the blood and grime from the child's face with a piece of paper.

A murderous glint flashed in the scholar's eyes as he fumbled for the tools in his pocket: "Who's so bold as to dare touch you?"

"I was talking about how this child was almost dismembered, not me." Chen Xi, who inherited part of the Dream Demon God's power, naturally noticed his little trick.

"You want to raise it?"

"I've never raised one before, it'll be too much trouble,"

"How to raise it is a problem. How about we just give it to D'Artagnan?"

“I agree. He has many younger siblings, so he should have experience in this area.”

Do the other slices of Dottore have time to take care of the children? No, they all have their own missions. Even if they did, what if they used the children for experiments? Those slices are truly inhuman, and Chen Xi knows this about that. So, let's leave this burden to D'Artagnan. Chen Xi believes he would be very happy to take care of the children; that's how he is in the story, and he especially loves children.

……

The D'Artagnan House

"...So, you want me to help you?" Dadalia looked Chen Xi up and down at the thin child she was carrying on her shoulder.

“I’ll think about it…emm…” Tok would be happy to have another playmate.

"No problem, leave it to me!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you!" Chen Xi handed the still unconscious child to him.

“Ajax, take good care of him. The kid is pitiful; he almost lost his life.” Chen Xi deliberately called him by his real name, emphasizing it.

I think you know how to do it.

"Don't worry, partner!" I know.

The "scholar" took Chen Xi's hand and said, "We have other things to do, so we won't stay any longer."

D'Artagnan waved to the two of them: "Goodbye!"

The two left together.
