Su Yuan looked at the Dottore segment before him with some surprise—he hadn’t expected that it actually harbored intentions of betrayal...
It seemed that the Dottore original had already pushed the exploitation of the other segments to a crazed, ruthless extent.
"Dottore, since we’re willing to talk, let’s have them stop fighting first,"
Su Yuan said, pointing at the fierce battle between Ioroi and Kitsune Saiguu.
"All right," Dottore nodded, then spoke to Kitsune Saiguu, "Stop."
"Ioroi, you two, stop fighting!" Su Yuan also called out.
After that, Kitsune Saiguu returned to Dottore’s side, and Ioroi came over to Su Yuan’s side.
"Su Yuan, what’s going on here? Isn’t Dottore supposed to be our enemy? Why do you two seem to be getting along so well now?" Ioroi asked with confusion.
"Dottore is indeed our enemy, but that doesn’t mean all of his segments are our enemies,"
"The segments have long suffered under Dottore!"
"This Dottore segment before us—while we may not become partners, perhaps we can at least become collaborators..."
"So, Dottore, among all the segments, the one who can control the life and death of the others with a single thought—is that Dottore’s true original?" Su Yuan asked.
"Not exactly..." Dottore responded, "Among all the segments, only one segment holds that authority..."
"When the segment holding the authority dies, this power will randomly transfer to one of the remaining segments..."
"Because our segments share sensory connections, I can clearly sense that among all the segments right now, none is the true original Dottore!"
"So, even if all the segments are killed, Dottore cannot be completely destroyed."
Ah? Faced with this information, Su Yuan was a bit stunned...
If none of them is the true original Dottore, then how can Dottore be completely defeated?
"However, my goal isn’t to completely kill Dottore anyway..."
This Dottore continued speaking:
"That’s something you need to worry about. I only want to break free from this prison called Dottore and become an independent individual..."
"Even if it costs me my life, as long as I can enjoy a moment of freedom, that would be enough..."
So this Dottore is a Dottore who longs for freedom!
"Couldn’t you, with the Dottore technology you possess, discover a loophole in the segment technology and escape from it?" Su Yuan asked.
"When the segment technology was designed and researched originally, this point was never considered..."
The Liberate Dottore seemed somewhat helpless as he said:
"But if I blatantly study this, other segments will notice..."
"Sometimes, I wish I didn’t have independent consciousness—then I wouldn’t feel this kind of pain..."
"Su Yuan, constantly maintaining the Eerie state and trying to stay clear-headed puts a heavy burden on both body and mind..."
"So, could you please come with me to a secret base?"
"That place is a small space modeled after the Eternal Oasis of the Scarlet King through research."
"There, it can block all contact with the outside world. Let’s go there to talk in detail!"
Hearing Liberate Dottore say this, Su Yuan looked a bit hesitant—could this be some kind of trap?
But if there were really other people around him right now, and Dottore wanted to take him down directly, he could have just acted without all these fancy moves and wasted effort, right?
"All right, then let’s go." Su Yuan nodded and accepted Liberate Dottore’s invitation.
"But before we leave, let me do one thing first..."
Liberate Dottore said this, then reached out toward Kitsune Saiguu’s forehead, drawing out a strand of pitch-black and crimson power...
It was a strand of eerie power...
"Everyone should be free and shouldn’t be controlled by anyone..."
Watching this scene, Su Yuan’s doubts were somewhat eased again.
It seemed this Dottore truly longed for freedom!
After extracting that strand of eerie power from Kitsune Saiguu’s body, her eyes became dazed, and she stood there motionless.
"Dottore did not find Kitsune Saiguu’s memories within the ley lines, so after losing that strand of eerie power as guidance, she is like a newborn child — a pure, blank sheet of paper, knowing nothing and understanding nothing..."
"She can now go and pursue the freedom she desires..."
Then, Kitsune Saiguu transformed into a small white fox and hopped away from there.
"Stinky fox..." Ioroi muttered as he watched the white figure disappear into the bushes.
"Ioroi, you should go back. Give everyone my regards and let them know we are safe,"
Su Yuan said to Ioroi, then followed Dottore and left the place...
In the end, Su Yuan followed Dottore to an underground cave on Narukami Island.
In front of Su Yuan stood a huge, square-shaped cube made of silver metal.
Su Yuan felt a bit puzzled.
Could this be the small space modeled after the Scarlet King’s Eternal Oasis?
Why did it feel more like a giant metal block?
Moreover, from the outside, it didn’t seem to have any doors or windows—no obvious way to enter or exit...
"Hey, hey, Liberate Dottore, how do we get inside this place?"
Su Yuan turned to Dottore and asked, only to see Dottore flash a brilliant smile, revealing a set of perfectly white teeth.
"Su Yuan, I’ve finally found another chance to be alone with you..."
Su Yuan looked at Dottore with confusion—what did he mean by that?
A chance to be alone? Isn’t that normal?
Aren’t they just about to discuss how to make Dottore, the Liberate Dottore, into an independent individual?
But soon, a terrifying thought crossed Su Yuan’s mind...
Could it be that this Dottore in front of him isn’t the rebellious Dottore segment, but the one who holds the power of life and death over the other segments?
And Dottore’s next words confirmed Su Yuan’s suspicion...
"The matters in the Musoujin Gorge were not supposed to be handled by me..."
"But Su Yuan, when you specifically named me and said you wanted to see me, I felt something was off, so I came in person..."
"Although I don’t know where you got your information from, I had already sensed that segment’s thoughts of betrayal a long time ago..."
"I was just playing along with your plan, slowly leading you step by step into my trap!"
