The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

"This evil spirit is Shim," the holographic image of Geralt displayed in Xie Yuan explained to Caris. "It appears after the celestial sphere converges. It is a very rare and dangerous monster that will haunt Someone who admits to his evil deeds.”

To be honest, Caris was quite shocked when she saw Geralt's hologram, but after Xie Yuan saw the projection left by the elf Avallac'h, he directly introduced the holographic technology to her as magic. .

To Xie Yuan's surprise, after hearing the word "magic effect", Caris naturally accepted the setting. She had no other emotions except novelty.

Come to think of it, as a top noble in Skellige, he would probably also receive some basic magic knowledge instruction.

Of course, this also makes Xie Yuan easier to deal with.

After listening to all Xie Yuan’s description of Udaric’s situation, Geralt gave his verdict and also revealed the consequences of provoking Shim: “Shim will continue to instill a sense of guilt and devour sinners all year round. of guilt, and eventually, it forces its prey to self-mutilate."

"Then isn't Udarek suffering from late-stage symptoms?" Xie Yuan was also worried as he listened, "Is there any way to save him?"

"This kind of monster sounds really uncomfortable," Caris also looked disgusted. "Then...is there any way to defeat it?"

"Well..." Geralt on the holographic projection showed a thoughtful expression, and then revealed after a while, "Yes! There are two theoretical ways."

"If nothing else, one of the ways is to take the host to its old lair...that is, the old house, and then get rid of Him in front of the host." Xie Yuan directly deduced.

"...Indeed," Geralt was surprised now, "It seems you are quite experienced with this type of monster."

"I don't have much experience..." Xie Yuan recalled for a moment, then shook his head in denial, "But it's best not to use it like this unless it is absolutely necessary. Udarek is too weak. When you take him to the monster's lair, the fear will increase. Shim’s overall strength makes it difficult for me to hit him, but Udarek will probably feel even more uncomfortable.”

"And he is more dangerous to you, in that case..." Caris rolled her eyes, and then continued to learn, "Then what is the other method?"

"It is said that there is a way to deceive Him. If you pretend to commit a great evil, he will find you as his new prey."

Listening to Geralt's explanation, Caris suddenly became interested, and after Geralt finished saying "Once it finds out that it has been deceived, it will have no choice but to leave," she immediately showed eagerness to try: "That's great. ! Let’s try it.”

"Don't be too optimistic!" Geralt warned, "Sim is a devil, and devils are never easy to deceive. In addition, people who deceive him must not have the intention to deceive him."

"What do you mean?" Caris didn't understand.

Xie Yuan actually understood it, but as he respected professionals, he still wanted to hear what Geralt had to say: "Sim will attack those who are convinced that they have done bad things and have uneasy consciences. They will deepen their guilt and then use it as a excuse. Health. In other words...if the host doesn't feel truly remorseful, Him will notice it."

Caris suddenly understood: "That's it, so in order to succeed, once one of us has figured out the plan, we can't tell the other party."

"That's it." Geralt agreed with Caris's understanding.

Xie Yuan didn't care about these two methods, so the decision-making power came to the woman Kerisi. Kerisi was determined to try to deceive Him first, and if it didn't work, she would use hard methods to implement it.

Geralt suggested that we wait until he arrives before taking action together, but after Caris asked Geralt about Xie Yuan's force value, she refused without even thinking.

In the view of this heroic girl with small freckles, since there is a better force to take on, it is necessary to consult Yennefer on everything, she is a white wolf who is afraid of his wife.

Besides, Udarek's situation seems to be unstoppable.

After spending some time, the two of them walked together to the old longhouse. On the way, Xie Yuan also humbly learned from Caris about Skellige's humanistic customs.

Caris patiently answered them one by one, but she was also curious about the "different world" mentioned by Xie Yuan. Of course, Xie Yuan also referred to modern society and Western fantasy novels he had read in the past, such as Lord of XX worldview to answer some of her questions.

Anyway, she doesn’t have a chance to go to the outside world, right?

Arriving at the old longhouse, the two began to split up. Caris seemed to be a little interested in the kitchen and was studying it patiently.

Xie Yuan went directly into a bedroom, where the heavy feeling like water had been suppressing his heart, making him feel a little uncomfortable... Fortunately, it was just discomfort.

Then as soon as he turned his head, Xie Yuan suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the figure lying on the bed in front of him.

It was Xili, but Xie Yuan could recognize it not because of his face or hairstyle or other external features, but just because of his clothes.

The shape of a corpse puppet, very similar to Ciri's, was stuffed into a piece of clothing that Ciri wore before leaving the Mass Effect universe. This scene made Xie Yuan feel ridiculous, unbelievable, but his eyes were splitting. Feel.

Especially... after being processed by dragon teeth, his face looked slightly familiar, but his eyes and mouth were dull and reflected the light of synthetic materials - the thing that disgusted Xie Yuan the most after learning about the enemy Reaper. , that is, when you meet someone you know well, you look like you have been taught and changed when you meet again.

To be honest, it's nothing if there is a real sword-to-sword encounter, but looking at this situation, I can't help but think of my own universe, or the unstoppable destiny of civilization that is about to be harvested.

Especially friends brought from other universes, if they were really implicated like this... then he would have to feel guilty for the rest of his life. Xie Yuan closed his eyes in pain and opened them again in an instant. At this time, the corpse puppet "Xili" turned into fly ash and quickly dissipated.

In response, Xie Yuan's expression returned to calm, as if the gaffe just now was fleeting. At this time, he let his mind go and no longer had any thoughts to avoid being caught by Shim again.

But for this Him, Xie Yuan directly sentenced him to death.

He had to die just for the teasing and for exacerbating Xie Yuan's own anxiety disorder.

Xie Yuan, who was looking around the old longhouse, soon heard Caris shouting. Then he walked out of the house and saw Caris shouting to him excitedly: "I have an idea!"

"I would like to hear the details." Xie Yuan spread his hands.

"This might work," Caris said to herself confidently, and then looked at Xie Yuan: "You have to wait for me here, I will be back soon."

Considering what Geralt said about deceiving Him... Xie Yuan instinctively controlled himself not to read the girl's mind or enter the girl's mind, but instead checked for omissions and filled in the gaps, "Is there anything else I want to explain?"

"What Geralt said, I can't reveal too many details, so I can only say this," Caris paused, "You have to trust me."

"Okay," Xie Yuan did not directly answer whether he believed it or not, but just reminded him, "No matter what you do, I can help you with the truth, as long as you have a clear conscience."

"I hope I can..." The carefree Caris showed a rare hint of nervousness, but she quickly cheered up and her voice became high-pitched, "Okay? Can we start?"

"Everything is ready." Xie Yuan was unfazed by this.

"Okay, I'll be back soon." Caris nodded solemnly, and then asked, "Use this time to make a fire, right?"

After receiving the instructions, Xie Yuan returned to the longhouse after watching Caris leave. At this time, he had completely restored his calm state of mind. He looked at the cold fireplace and pointed with his hand under the remaining carbon residue. , and then chanted "Igni."

With a "pop", orange flames shot out of thin air, igniting the fireplace.

Of course, unlike the blood magic caused by the demon hunter's mutation, Xie Yuan just uses his will to directly command the surrounding magic to gather in the form of fire. It's good if it can be used, and the power is not considered.

After adding a few pieces of charcoal to increase the intensity of the fire, Xie Yuan sat in front of the furnace door and closed his eyes to rest.

About a few hours later, when the bonfire in the stove was raging, suddenly a hurried cry came from outside: "Over there, she ran to the old house!"

"Catch her!"

"Bang!" At the same time, a beautiful figure suddenly broke through the door and rushed in directly with something in his hand.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Caris, and she was actually being chased.

It wasn't until Xie Yuan held the thing in her hand that she realized it was a baby waiting for milk.

"Hold him!" Caris reminded. After seeing Xie Yuan subconsciously take the baby, she revealed, "You have to put him in the oven, trust me."

Xie Yuan even took over the child with his eyes closed, maintaining an empty state of mind. He had to maintain a state of not thinking about anything in order to trigger the most intense emotional feedback when he came back to his senses.

Of course, he also quickly felt that Udarek led a group of family warriors to the old house.

An impatient family warrior wanted to rush forward, but Udarek quickly held the soldier back, "Be careful, don't hurt my child."

Udarek, who was wearing a one-eyed patch, slowly stepped forward, stretched out his hand, looked at Xie Yuan and ordered: "Give me my child back."

Caris on the side was still urging: "Hurry up, stuff him into the oven!"

But Udarek soon began to move quickly, mainly because he saw Xie Yuan's eyes at this time, which were empty and void, but a kind of malice seemed to be quietly released...

Without a trace of hesitation, the moment Udarek was about to touch the child, Xie Yuan smoothly stuffed the crying baby into the oven above the fire and closed the door with a bang. .

The speed was so fast that no one could react.
