Chapter 1161 Destroying the world, are you talking about Dotorei?
On the sea in the dead of night, the searchlights of the Fatui fleet drew streaks of light on the sea.
Several small salvage ships were sailing slowly in the waters surrounding the fleet, with the salvage nets hanging on both sides of the ships sinking into the sea and rising again and again.
Wrapped in the net bag were the bodies of the Fatui, who had been charred and deformed by the flames.
Those dead bodies whose human form could still be identified were carefully carried onto the ship and placed in a makeshift morgue.
Those who had already been turned into broken bones in the fire could only float and sink with the cold sea water, and finally sank into the depths of the dark sea, never to be found again.
The sea breeze blew, and the smell of burning filled the air over the entire fleet, making it so oppressive that it made people breathless.
At this moment, inside the cabin of the fleet's main ship, a room marked "Executive Officer's Office" was brightly lit.
Alechino sat behind his desk, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, making a "tapping" sound.
She looked at her subordinate who was standing in front of the table and kneeling on one knee with cold eyes, and her voice was cold and without a trace of warmth when she asked.
"Any news about the Doctor now?"
The Fatui subordinate who was reporting lowered his head even lower, his expression looking very grim.
"I'm sorry, Servant. We've used all available communication methods and dispatched three search teams to explore the surrounding waters, but so far, we haven't found any trace of the Doctor."
"Lost contact?" Alechino's fingers suddenly stopped, his eyes instantly became more gloomy, and the air pressure around him dropped a little.
"Then keep searching. Even if we have to turn this sea upside down, we must find the doctor! Alive or dead."
(Alechino's inner thoughts: Of course, a corpse would be best.)
"Yes, my lord servant!" The subordinate responded quickly, but hesitated for a few seconds. Finally, he dared to raise his head and carefully made a suggestion.
"It's just that... according to the casualty report just submitted by the medical staff, the injuries of many of the wounded on the fleet have begun to worsen and require immediate professional medical treatment. Any further delay could put their lives in danger."
"Can we first send the wounded back to the mainland of Winterfell, or transfer them to the nearby Nordkalai outpost for recuperation? There are complete medical facilities there and can better treat the wounded."
"As for finding the Doctor, we can leave an elite team behind to continue the search. This will ensure the safety of the wounded and won't delay the search for the Doctor..."
After listening to his subordinate's explanation, Alechino's face remained expressionless. He just raised his chin slowly and raised his hand to rub his swollen temple.
"How about this? Write me a detailed report. My head hurts a bit right now, so I don't have the energy to work out every detail with you."
The continuous handling of casualty statistics, the search for the missing doctor, and the transfer of the wounded had already overwhelmed her tense nerves.
At this moment, she only felt her temples throbbing, and even her thinking became a little slow.
"Yes, my lord servant! I will prepare the report and send it to you as soon as possible!"
The Fatui who reported quickly nodded in agreement, stood up carefully, afraid of disturbing Alechino, and quickly left the office, gently closing the door behind him.
As soon as the office door closed, the fatigue on Alechino's face was instantly replaced by anger.
She clenched her fists suddenly, and the dark red flame of the Evil Moon instantly ignited in her palms. The flames danced as if they had life, emitting a terrifying temperature.
She raised her hand and pressed hard on the iron desk in front of her, accompanied by a sharp "sizzling" sound.
A fist-sized hole was burned in the iron table top, with black smoke still coming out of the edge. The molten iron slowly dripped from the hole, leaving black marks on the ground.
"Dottore! You're running away from the battlefield!!!"
Alechino stared at the black hole on the table, his teeth chattering, and he cursed Dottore's name a hundred times in his heart.
She never expected that the doctor, as an executive, would lose contact at such a critical moment.
Just as Alechino was immersed in anger and was still thinking about how to explain to the headquarters about the doctor's loss of contact, the air in the office suddenly fluctuated slightly.
The next second, a red, hot-looking (in Reize's words) woman appeared in the middle of the office without any warning.
This mysterious woman who came uninvited was Alice.
She looked at the scene in the office with interest, especially the black hole on the desk that was still smoking.
In fact, Alice's original plan was not to come here.
Originally, after hitting a wall with Nata, Alice planned to go directly to Solstice to find the Ice Queen.
But on her way to Dongdong, she accidentally heard a piece of news.
In order to seize the last Heart of God on the continent of Teyvat, Dongzhidong has dispatched a fleet and is ready to seize it by force.
At that time, Alice had a strong premonition in her heart that something big must be happening behind this action.
So, she temporarily changed her itinerary and quietly followed the Fatui fleet, secretly observing the fleet's every move, wanting to see how this "Battle for the Heart of God" would turn out.
Sure enough, her previous premonition was correct. The fleet of Fatui that came to seize the Heart of God ultimately ended up in a miserable defeat.
It goes without saying that the instigator of all this must be Shao Yun, the "disaster" who causes trouble everywhere.
Not only did the Fatui fail to obtain the Heart of God, they also suffered heavy casualties. They were truly devastated.
However, this crushing defeat was a great opportunity for Alice.
She had originally planned to go to Zhidong to persuade the Ice Queen to join the war to encircle Shao Yun.
After all, Shao Yun's existence has become increasingly out of control. If he continues to be left alone, who knows how much trouble it will bring to Teyvat.
And now, the Fatui have just been severely damaged by Shao Yun, and they hate him to the core. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." As long as they can convince Arecino and let her talk to the Ice Queen, the chances of convincing the Ice God to join will be much greater.
It was with this purpose in mind that Alice showed up to see Arecino, ready to lobby her to agree to support the plan to encircle and suppress Shao Yun.
At this moment, she looked at Alechino, whose expression was still ferocious, with a perfectly appropriate smile on her face, and greeted him:
"Hello, Miss Pelville."
Alechino heard the name she had already abandoned and looked at the blonde woman who suddenly appeared in front of her.
The iconic elf ears and the gorgeous witch-style outfit made her freeze in place for a moment.
Various information flashed through my mind rapidly, and a vague figure gradually became clear.
Could this be Alice, a member of the legendary Witch Society?
She gathered herself together, looked at Alice carefully, and combined the only memories in her mind, she said uncertainly:
"You are... You are Ms. Alice, right? When I was in Mondstadt, I heard Captain Jean mention you. She said you were a powerful witch with a unique personality."
When Alice heard the words "Captain Jean," she raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? Jean told you about me? I never thought my reputation in Mondstadt would reach the Fatui Executor."
Then she pretended to look regretful and shook her head gently.
"What a pity, I never got to meet you when I was in Mond. Otherwise, maybe we could have talked about Mond's customs and people."
At this moment, Alechino's mind was full of the fleet's disastrous defeat, the doctor's loss of contact, and a bunch of messes that needed to be dealt with. She had no intention of talking to Alice about these irrelevant topics, let alone reminiscing about the "past".
She frowned, her impatience clearly visible on her face, and her tone became harsh.
"Ms. Alice, I'm not in a good mood right now and don't have the energy to reminisce about the past with you. If you have anything to say, just say it directly and don't beat around the bush."
Alice simply stopped wasting time and ended this awkward "tea party"-style chat.
She stared at Alechino and asked directly:
"Then I'll be frank. I witnessed the entire battle on the Nata battlefield today. The fleet suffered a crushing defeat, with heavy casualties. Are you willing to accept this?"
When Alechino heard Alice bring up today's battle, she waved her hands irritably.
"Excuse me for being blunt, but on the battlefield, the winner is king and the loser is the enemy. We are inferior in skills, so if we lose, we lose. There is no such thing as unwillingness or resignation."
Although she said this, her clenched fists and tense jawline revealed her inner resentment.
Alice caught the unwillingness in Alechino's tone and immediately seized the opportunity to create a sense of urgency and crisis, and her voice became serious.
"So, you're just going to let it go, allowing a being capable of destroying the safety of all of Teyvat to slowly grow in Nata?"
The words "destroy Teyvat" made Alechino's pupils shrink slightly.
She frowned subconsciously, and the first thing that flashed through her mind was the doctor's face that always had a crazy smile on it.
Dotore is obsessed with various unethical scientific experiments, researching artificial gods, transforming the human body, and all kinds of crazy behaviors.
In her opinion, the doctor's experiment is the biggest hidden danger that may destroy the world in the future.
So, she subconsciously asked, "Doctor? Dotorei's experiments are indeed dangerous, but we within the Fatui are also monitoring his movements to prevent him from actually destroying the world."
When Alice heard that Alechino actually put the hat of "destroying Teyvat" on the doctor's head, she immediately showed an expression of disappointment.
"Dottore? No, no, no, don't get it wrong. Compared to Shao Yun, Duo Tuole's skills are like a living saint. He is not a threat at all."
