Chapter 89: Trampling the Waves
The sea of thoughts was like a dark cloud covering the sky. After seeing the actual embodiment of the sea of thoughts, even Dotole needed to remind himself that there was no need to focus on breathing here.
For existence that is different from personal consciousness, cognition is a subjective mapping of the outside world.
And in the searchable records, the existence of higher beings can modify the general understanding of life.
That is, cognition precedes matter and senses.
This is the law of the continent of Teyvat.
So, is there a way to ensure that the general understanding of the existence of lower-level entities is stable, and to avoid the so-called higher-level entities making careless modifications that would lead to extremely inaccurate consequences?
Therefore, the knowable domain of the world breeds knowledge.
This is the rule that Dottore follows.
—From being an ordinary person, he entered the sight of the Clown, the leader of the Fatui, and then, step by step, he knocked on the door of the temple...
"But there's a fallacy here." Another Dotore appeared and said, "There's no record of him in the World Tree. Our understanding of him is not within the realm of knowledge."
That is, Dottore knew that person earlier than others.
"Obviously, he is even more so," the man said firmly, "He knew everything about us before we even knew him."
"Heh." Dottore chuckled. "Isn't this interesting? Beyond rationality, we've finally developed useless chronic illnesses. This might make it easier to approach him."
Hearing this, the man paused, a strange expression on his face. "I think, even after such a trivial exposure, you still don't give up on me. There must be another reason, right? ... What interesting things did you find?"
…
…
There is an old saying in Liyue, "Misfortune often brings blessings."
When Niwa Hisahide sat at the desk, he looked up and saw three people confronting each other outside the window.
Ming Chong, the one who is inclined to strange things, is "Escher".
——As for the reason why the strange man appeared, it was mainly because Ming Chong vigilantly let the strange man stand in front of him, half-bow stance, showing a defensive posture.
This situation has been going on since the man named Escher, who was nominally the head of Fontaine but was actually Dotore, a senior employee of Zhidong, was dragged into the vortex of the fisherman's strange rumors. He simply revealed his cards to the Tadashisha side.
After the two sides had a frank exchange of views, the man came to block the door every day.
Niwa Hisahide put down his pen and once again watched the entire tug-of-war between the three people with a feeling of being inexplicably excluded.
strangeness……
Didn't that kid A Chong, at the beginning, have no sense of distance and just dragged the person from the shore by one foot around the entire Ta'ersha?
At that time, he almost felt that the sky was falling.
Who knew that these two... were actually close friends who had never met each other?!

It was a bit abstract, and Niwa Hisahide took a long time to accept this explanation. However, what followed was the unexpected, slightly abrupt, unique, and even somewhat shocking act of revealing his cards.
The Exile of Xumi, an important staff member of the Kingdom of Winter, was given the name Dotore by the Queen of Ice. His mission in coming to Inazuma was to infiltrate the official authorities and do some research on local specialties.
——The last sentence was said while looking at the curious person.
After hearing this, Niwa Hisahide felt quite complicated.
At once……
Bro, are you serious?!
Are you so frank?
Did you take off your underwear to see it? !
That was roughly the situation. After that, Niwa Hisahide was completely confused about the situation.
Did they say that Chong was persecuting Escher? That guy is always hiding now.
Did Escher have some "evil intentions" against the curious because of his little research hobby? Normally, when Chong was around, he couldn't pay attention to anyone else.
Let’s talk about those who are curious about strange things. They are also very strange.
——Niwa Hisahide wondered, this kid hasn't been out of the small courtyard bought by the general for long, how come he has become like this now, with no idea what he is thinking?
He clearly knew that Escher had ulterior motives towards him, but he didn't hide it at all and even helped to block Ah Chong...
No, Niwa Hisahide shook his head frantically, revealing a mask of pain.
——You, the curious one, don’t you understand? In that man’s eyes, you and A Chong are both a piece of soft, fragrant and delicious cake!!!
However, the current situation of the three people facing each other was somewhat delicate. It was clear that any one of them, if left outside, would be a high-risk existence for ordinary people...
One is a genius scholar who knows no bounds but has no moral bottom line;
One is a Liyue traveler who can cause a tsunami by stomping his feet, making even Inazuma tremble three times;
One is a puppet created by Thor, who is suspected to be his son.

In addition, Niwa Hisahide also felt that he had suddenly missed a long period of the plot, to the point where he could not see what they were doing at all.
Despite this, he always felt there was a sense of "calm before the storm."

——If you want to fight, go fight somewhere else in Shenwuzhong, don’t just mess around in Tadashi Sand!!!
In short, the storm is brewing.
Niwa Hisahide sighed deeply and continued to pick up the pen.
"Please forgive my incompetence, but I have no choice but to write this letter to explain the whole story to the Lord Palace Administrator.
Waiting for good news and looking forward to your reply.
Director of the Ta'esha Weaponry Department
Yours sincerely, Niwa Hisahide"
…
"Mr. A Chong——"
"No, no! You can't call me that! Shut up and get lost!" Ming Chong felt horrified and got goosebumps all over his body. "Your true identity has been exposed, and your evil intentions have been exposed. Return to your base in disgrace!"
Dottore tilted his head slightly, avoiding a visual obstruction, and smiled politely. "According to convention, I should answer 'There seems to be some misunderstanding between us', but I suspect that our conversation should be slightly modified."
"—You seem to know me very well."
Catching the other person's shock, speechlessness, understanding, disgust, nausea, and irritation... and even a hint of nostalgia and silence, Dottore continued, "In that case, how about we skip the unnecessary small talk?"
What answered him was the action of the curious one. The inexperienced puppet frowned and moved slightly, causing the sound of tiny bells to tinkle, blocking A Chong again, blocking him tightly.
He didn't like the stranger's familiarity with A Chong, especially when A Chong was unwilling to contact the other person, and... and he also remembered that A Chong's attitude towards this person was very strange.
It’s too complicated, and those who are curious won’t understand it.
However, the curious ones were not too happy.
Ming Chong straightened the corners of his mouth, turned his head and gave Dotore a half-moon glare, letting him understand what he meant.
——Do you think I care about you?!
Just as Dottore was about to speak, he noticed the look in the eyes of the curious person and chuckled. "It seems that my friend has some objections. Hmm... Judging from his expression, he seems to be wary, repulsive, hostile, and scrutinizing... and—"
"envy."
"You!" The curious one was shocked. The inexperienced puppet really thought that he was too stingy. If it was true, he would not be able to accept the appearance of A Chong's former friend.
This is sheer nonsense. Those who knew each other earlier than him and Chong, not to mention those who knew each other before Inazuma, include Niwa, Katsuragi, Mr. Nagamasa... and, and a——the aunt next door, which one of them didn't know each other earlier than him? !!!
Except for the *@ミ￡%■§ in front of him... Anyway——
The curious person feels that he has been slandered!
He was so stifled that the corners of his eyes turned red, and he couldn't utter a few vicious words, "I won't be jealous of a bad guy!"
——Bad guy, bad guy, bad guy, bad guy, bad guy, bad guy, bad guy, bad guy…!!!
The curious person's mind was flooded with two words. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he had won back a game. Although there was no truth in it, there were too many words in it.
It’s all over the screen!

"Oh? In your opinion, Master A Chong (Ming Chong: I told you not to call me that!) cares about judging others as good or bad?"
Dotole glanced at the curious one, making the latter feel despised, and his face suddenly became even more puffed up than before.
"Mr. A Chong——"
Ming Chong scratched his ears and said, "Disgusting, Duo Tolei, I'm going to cum!"
"As long as you want to find me, I will be happy to entertain you at any time." Dottore finally put away his hypocritical smile.
But at the same time, it also left a faint trace in the heart of the curious person, making him feel a little uneasy, worried whether this guy really discovered something.
"Unnecessary. Do you think I trust you as a treat or something else? When did you become so naive?" Ming Chong waved his hand speechlessly, then gave Dotore a middle finger.
It turned out that during the confrontation, Ming Chong had unknowingly circled around and retreated to the front gate of Niwa's house. As a cunning young man who was good at escaping, he had quite a lot of experience in this.
He threw down a few words of ambiguous boasting and ran straight out the door, "Hey! Dotorei, you'd never guess that I wasn't little once."
"Ouzai, I'm going out to play! I'd like you to take care of Jiliye for me today—"
"..." The curious one stood where he was, watching the two people disappear one after another, and lowered his head slightly.
After a while, a pair of toes appeared in the field of vision.
He was about to raise his head, but the back of his head was pressed down. However, the curious person moved his eyes and still saw the face of the person who came.
"Niyu..."
"Haha, even after studying for so long, you still only know how to address people with two characters." Niwa Hisahide smiled slightly, pretending to think, "Hmm... Katsuragi, Niwa, and Nagamasa... they all use only two characters from everyone's name equally."
The curious person's expression remained silent. His lips moved slightly, as if he was answering, but the sound was so faint that it was hard to hear. "..."
"It's very distressing, right? Are you worried that your choices won't match your friends'?" Niwa Hisahide rubbed his head and took his hand away, feeling inexplicably emotional. "Friends always have such moments. When they are together, they are together. When the time comes, even if they separate for various reasons, they won't stagnate."
"Because, in the next journey, there will be another friend to travel with."
"So, be frank."
The emotion in the eyes of the curious man softened and he smiled faintly. From the outside, he was still a gentle and soft boy. "Thank you, Niwa."
"I know what to do."
