"I cannot abandon the people of Sumeru City!"
A powerful force was unleashed, and the Grass God's power affected the void terminal, causing the people to stop what they were doing.
Nasita used her consciousness to occupy the people's thoughts, thus interrupting the influence of the void on everyone; at this moment, she was essentially multitasking.
Thousands? Tens of thousands? No one knows how many people the Doctor gathered in front of the Order of the Church, but at this moment they are all under Narcida's control. This is Narcida's extremely terrifying multi-threaded processing ability.
Nasita was a little out of breath. "What? My strength is pretty good, isn't it?"
Commander, no, I mean Naxi Da thought so.

"I'm really angry right now, you can tell, right?"
Chapter 570 Escape and Ambush
[Nasita to the traveler: "It's alright, we'll meet outside the city."]
I am the Grass God of Mount Sumeru, the Great Auspicious Wisdom Lord of the Great Good Dharma, this little matter is insignificant.
Traveler: Why, to protect me—
Naxida: Protecting my people is my mission. Alright, let's go now.
As long as you don't stop, you'll definitely run into me outside the city, so don't stop!
It seemed as if flowers of hope (Patti Sharan) were blooming all around, but in reality, none were.
The traveler left with tears in his eyes. Well, actually, he didn't really shed any tears; the traveler left quite decisively.
In fact, leaving Nasita here was not a wrong choice, because the real Nasita was not here; it was Catherine who was left behind.
There is indeed a possibility that Narcida's consciousness could be captured by the Doctor, but if she remains there, the Traveler won't be of much help in this battle of wits.
In the illustration, the doctor approaches 'Catherine' step by step, getting very close and saying:
"Such a powerful consciousness...you must be—the God of Wisdom?"
The illustration focuses on the doctor, whose face is half covered by an eagle-beak mask, but his demeanor and smile still make him seem very handsome.
Although readers were worried for Narcida and felt that the Doctor was not a good person, they couldn't help but think: You're a bit of a 'spell' here.
But it's no use, I still want to beat you up.
It must be said that the doctor's appearance was indeed 'grand', and most importantly, he made everyone feel a sense of helplessness.
It's like looking at a ley line flower in front of you but only having 19 resin points – you feel utterly helpless.
But people didn't want to admit their helplessness, so they didn't even bother to criticize him.
Why not scold him? Because scolding him won't do anything to him; it will only make you feel more powerless.
Of course, secretly cursing is still necessary; it won't do anything serious, but at least it can vent your anger.
As for why we criticize the Great Sage? Because if everyone can actually make their criticism of the Great Sage come true, then go ahead and enjoy it, Great Sage.
On the other side, Cole was emotionally unstable; her forehead was sweaty, and her fingernails left marks on her palms.
Fortunately, Lin Qiu was right next to her. He was skilled in techniques to suppress the remnants of the demon god, so Ke Lai would be fine.
Nasita was also using her own power to regulate Cole's emotions. With the help of many people, Cole gradually calmed down and gave Lin Qiu and Nasita a grateful look.
"Doctor, it should still be in Sumeru, right?" Seno asked.
Lin Qiu shook his head. The doctor had actually already left Sumeru. What remained here now were servants.
After finishing the experiment, the PhD student pulled up his pants, dusted himself off, and left.
As for what happens next, that will be handled by the servants who will communicate with Lin Qiu.
According to the contract, Lin Qiu would give them the divine hearts of the 'Thunder God' and the 'Water God', but Lin Qiu did not mention the Grass God at the time.
Why? Because obtaining the Heart of the Grass God requires a different condition, and it comes at a different price.
Since the doctor's slides are going to be destroyed anyway, it's not unreasonable for me to destroy one or two of them, right?
That's not unreasonable at all. Not to mention whether the Fools care or not, even the Doctor himself doesn't really care.
However, Lin Qiu's motivation wasn't to vent his anger on the doctor, but rather because he needed to provide voice-over for a later animated short film.
Getting back to the story, the doctor didn't care much about his own biopsy, but others did.
The Traveler and Paimon only stopped to analyze the current situation after running outside the city, especially after the Doctor's sudden intervention.
The doctor's appearance clearly disrupted everyone's original plan. Originally, the goal was to deal with the Order of the Fathers, but now they also had to add the Fools to the mix.
As readers know, the Fools' goal is nothing more than the 'Heart of God,' but what about the Siege Chambers' goal? What kind of agreement did the two sides reach to be able to collude in this evil scheme?
This agreement could even force the Church to abandon the Heart of God? What benefits did it actually offer them?
The people of Sumeru were furious. These two had fallen for each other like a turtle seeing a green bean, but in the end, it was the ordinary people of Sumeru who suffered.
Inatsume couldn't help but sigh, realizing that there were people even worse off than them.
When I first compared Inazuma and Mondstadt/Liyue people, I felt incredibly miserable, like I was living in dire straits.
But looking at Sumeru, I suddenly feel that Inazuma is still a good place to live, at least there won't be a situation where someone falls asleep and never wakes up again.
Even the Nata people felt that they were living much better than the Sumeru people.
Although facing the pressure of the abyss is immense, there aren't many messy things to worry about inside Nata.
Because of the presence of external enemies, Nata is quite united internally.
Because they face war at any time, the Nata people also try their best to enjoy life, and in terms of life itself, they actually live quite well.
Returning to the story, although Nasita said she would wait for her outside the city, the traveler couldn't just wait; she decided to investigate further.
How to investigate? Naturally, by asking the magical Tinari.
On their way to Huacheng Guo, the travelers were ambushed by desert mercenaries.
The appearance of desert mercenaries caused the real-life desert dwellers to frown.
Although they disliked the Order of the Fathers and the people of the Rainforest, they didn't hate the Traveler after reading the stories along the way, and even their opinion of the Grass God changed.
Comparing the actions of the Church Council with those of Narcida, it's clear they were actually on Narcida's side.
After all, the reason they hated the Grass God was that the Desert People had always thought that the will of the Church was the will of the Grass God, but now they realized that it wasn't.
[Tashfin: "The blond traveler, and the floating sprites, it seems we were right. Look around, you've fallen into our ambush."]
Yes, they were surrounded. This group of mercenaries was surrounded by the traveler alone.
Traveler: Go, Paimon, go and get rid of them!
I have General Paimon, who can slay mercenaries!
[Tashfin said, "We are an elite mercenary group that charges the highest commissions in Sumeru. This time, we are here to fulfill a request from a gentleman named 'The Exile.'"]
In "Elite Mercenary Group," the employer's identity was revealed as soon as he opened his mouth.
Although it was the code name that was exposed, the problem is that it's all too obvious who this code name refers to! Isn't this someone sent by the doctor?
There's something strange about this whole thing. The fact that the employer's identity was exposed so easily suggests either the mercenary group is unprofessional or that the arrogant Doctor did it on purpose.
Most people tend to favor the latter, because it's something only a PhD could do.
One of the common perceptions of PhDs is that they are arrogant.
Another thing that puzzled everyone was that the Doctor was clearly the executor of the Fatui, so why did he send mercenaries instead of the Fatui?
Chapter 571 Hai Basha seems to have gone a bit too far.
These mercenaries who attacked the travelers were indeed elite, and some of them were truly skilled, but they were still somewhat inferior to the Fatui's combat squads.
Compared to the Traveler's combat strength, they are even less capable. How can these people possibly stop the Traveler?
What people don't know is that the Doctor is using a saturation interception strategy; the rainforest is practically overflowing with his people.
The only regret is that those who tried to intercept them were no match for the travelers; the pool was saturated, but they simply couldn't stop them.
The traveler broke through the encirclement and arrived at Huacheng Guo in search of Tinali, but instead of finding Tinali, he found Kolai.
Cole's condition has worsened, and his Demon Scales disease is becoming more severe, which worries readers greatly, but at the same time, a glimmer of hope rises.
Dina Zede needs treatment for her Demon Scale Disease, and so does Cora, and this has been repeatedly mentioned. Based on everyone's past experience reading prophetic books, there's a high degree of certainty at this point—
—There must be a way to cure the Demon Scale Disease!
How confident am I? About 99.4%. The probability of making a wrong judgment is as low as the probability of withdrawing funds.
In the story, the traveler asks where Koretinari is, and Koretinari says that Master Koretinari has just gone to the Zen Garden.
This is quite strange, as Tinali usually doesn't leave Daocheng Forest and can be considered a bound spirit of Daocheng Forest.
His hasty departure now might be to film an endorsement shoot for Kiehl's.
That doesn't make sense either. They should have taken Ke Lai with them when shooting the endorsement photos. They're both brand ambassadors, so what was he doing there alone?
Cole in the book was also very curious about this. When Tinari left, he didn't even tell Cole, but just left a note, and seemed to be in a hurry.
As for the Zen Garden that Tinari went to, Corai told the traveler that it was similar to the research base of the Biophysical School, where Tinari used to often go.
Readers understand now, this provides travelers with a 'base'! In the future, those who rebel against the Church and the Doctor can use this 'base' to build a 'network' and then commit crimes on the move.
Unfortunately, no one expected that this hideout would be discovered before it was even set up or put into use.
When the traveler arrives at the Zen Garden, Catherine (Nassida) is already there waiting for him, as if she had already anticipated that he would come to find Tina.
Readers breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this; thank goodness, Nasita was alright.
Although everyone felt that Nasita would be alright, they were still worried before they actually saw her, and now they could finally relax.
However, the traveler remained cautious. Although relieved, he still asked warily:
"Is this Narcida's consciousness? The 'Doctor' didn't tamper with it, did he?"
There's a reason why the traveler was able to commit crimes across the three kingdoms and escape arrest even when wanted by the authorities.
Besides being very good at running away, she is also quite vigilant, at least when it comes to people, but not so much when it comes to tracking devices.
In addition, Yingmei's physique is as strong as a calf, making her harder to catch than catching a pig during the Chinese New Year.
However, Paimon felt that the traveler's wariness was a bit of a mood-ruiner, even though it was such a touching reunion!
[Narcida speaks up for the Traveler: "Paimon, it's very wise for the Traveler to be wary of me now, after all, the 'Doctor' has demonstrated similar techniques for manipulating people's minds..."]
"What happened to me when I faced 'The Doctor' alone after we parted ways is something you will never know."
"Just like after a catastrophic downpour, the puddles on the ground can sometimes disguise themselves as the sky."
I see now, it's definitely Nasita herself.
This seemingly nonsensical yet apt analogy confirms that it is indeed Naxida's identity; this is Naxida's anti-counterfeiting mark.
To be honest, it's quite easy to tell the real from the fake among these people in Sumeru. The crazy Elhesen, the Seno who doesn't tell corny jokes, the Nasita who doesn't use metaphors, and the enthusiastic and lively Tinari are obviously fake!
At this point, the real Nasita tells the traveler what happened after that.
Although the doctor said he 'controlled' the subconscious of the Sumeru Man, it was not by imprinting it into the brain, but by a kind of 'illusion'.
Narcida was quite adept at breaking illusions, so she successfully transferred her consciousness just before the Doctor could seize it.
In other words, the Doctor missed his ultimate move, hitting an empty shell like Catherine.
However, this doesn't put everyone at ease, because the Doctor's ultimate skill has no cooldown! He can unleash it as many times as he wants!
Narcida also revealed to the readers that the Doctor has the ability to manipulate the Void, so it's only a matter of time before he captures her from within it.
This means that direct contact with the doctor will result in 'instant death', and now even avoiding him has a time limit. What kind of insane supermodel boss is this?
Now time becomes even more precious, creating a sense of urgency as if being 'chased by time'.
So the traveler quickened his pace and entered the Zen Garden with Nasita to search for Tina.
Tinaari wasn't there, but Haibasha was.
