Chapter 659 Identity
Zuo Xi slowly walked to the side of Scaramuzi, who was lying on the ground after the plane crashed, and expanded his defense system shield a little to accommodate the other party. So that he could directly touch Scaramuzi's body.
Then Zuo Xi squatted down and used a little force to turn Scaramucci, who was still like a dead pig, over, from the face-down dog-chewing-mud posture to a lying position with his legs spread out and his face facing the sky.
Then, Zuo Xi took out tools such as screwdrivers, scalpels, and electric drills from his space belt like a magic trick.
These are all Mickey Mouse’s magical tools that will be used next, and the puppet that is about to encounter all of this is still suffering in the World Tree while his consciousness is still there.
Compared to his usual arrogant and unruly appearance, Scaramucci's quiet but not very restful sleeping face now looks less annoying.
But despite this, Zuo Xi still slapped him twice with his own hands... There was no other way. When he thought about what he was going to do next, Zuo Xi couldn't help but want to ask for some interest from the other party.
If time had allowed, he really wanted to dismantle the other party into parts and then reassemble them to relieve his hatred... Of course, this was just venting his anger. The culprit of this matter was Dotore, and Scaramucci was at most being used.
But it doesn’t matter anymore. No matter who is right or wrong, solving the current troubles is the most important thing.
"Tsk... it's so hard."
After rubbing his hands which were a little red and swollen from slapping the doll's hard body, Zuo Xi began his official work.
First, he didn't use the tools he had taken out before, which didn't look like serious tools. Instead, he reached out and unbuttoned Scaramucci's shirt, exposing his entire upper body.
Fortunately, when Lei Movie made this prototype, he didn't make it according to her own gender, otherwise the scene at this time might be a little ambiguous... Well, in fact, he has seen Scaramucci topless many times.
After all, it is impossible not to consider adapting his body during the transformation, so when creating [Dangerous Wanderer], he had carried out similar body adjustments and transformations many times.
Therefore, although he couldn't say that he knew Scaramucci's body very well, he was at least familiar with it.
For example, which joint uses which technology, which parts use which material, which parts have which effects, etc. Zuo Xi knows all of these clearly.
What he had to do now was to open the missing part of Scaramucci's body - the empty chest.
That is, open your heart—physically.
At this point, you need to use those strange tools you used before.
This was not a difficult task for Zuo Xi, after all, he had a basic understanding of Scaramucci's body. It was just a matter of cutting open a hole in the chest, and he could just move the knife casually.
In fact, it didn't take him much time. He found the location of the container that was supposed to hold the Heart of God in no time.
"Heh, there really is nothing here. I thought there would at least be Yugao's heart."
Although that's what he said, this situation was also within Zuo Xi's expectations.
After all, Scaramucci probably hated Yugao so much that he naturally couldn't let the "dirty" heart of someone who betrayed him beat in his chest.
However, as mentioned before, this place was originally used to hold the Heart of the God of Thunder.
It’s just that because Zuo Xi’s design concept is different, the Heart of God needs to be placed in the power furnace of the body as a power source, so the Heart of God cannot be placed in his chest as Scaramucci wished.
With Zuo Xi's ability, it would not be particularly difficult to fulfill his wish. But this would lead to a problem - the efficiency of energy transmission would be greatly reduced.
After all, if it is stored in the power reactor, the Heart of God will directly provide energy for the body.
And if it is placed in Scaramucci's chest, it is equivalent to the Heart of God supplying energy to Scaramucci, and then Scaramucci supplies energy to the body.
With an extra link in the middle, energy will inevitably be lost... and Scaramucci's own load limit is far lower than that of [Dangerous Wanderer], which also directly affects the power of the body.
The god created in that way is just a toy to Zuo Xi.
"Humph, I really want to just throw a stone into you to get rid of you..."
Zuo Xi snorted in dissatisfaction, then started the next step - he unbuttoned his shirt.
Yes, after unbuttoning Scaramucci's shirt, he unbuttoned his own shirt...the atmosphere suddenly became tense!
Ahem, of course that’s not the case.
Zuo Xi took out the bottles of anesthetic soup that Tinari had given him, uncorked the bottles and poured them into his mouth one by one.
He didn't care about what the other party had said before, like he couldn't drink too much and could only drink a certain amount at a time. He drank up all the remaining drink in one go.
Then he took out the tube of adrenaline again, and a complex emotion of entanglement, hesitation, relief, etc. appeared on his face.
Finally, he stuck the needle into his neck and injected the entire tube of adrenaline into his body.
Everything he did to himself was to ensure that the following things could proceed smoothly... He was afraid of pain, so he drank all the anesthetic soup. His physical fitness was not good, so in order to prevent himself from collapsing before the work was done, the tube of adrenaline was also necessary.
He was lucky that when he realized the solution, he had everything he needed around him.
Remember that scalpel? That's what he prepared for himself. He was going to perform an operation... an operation on himself.
An operation performed on oneself.
The purpose of the operation was also simple - he wanted to transplant his heart to Scaramucci.
……
The heart is the blood circulation organ of living things and one of the most important organs in the body. If we make an analogy, the heart is equivalent to the source of a person's power.
The heart does not generate power, but is responsible for transporting the necessities of life, including energy, to the entire body.
But in Teyvat, the heart has a more special mysterious meaning. For example, even if Yugao's heart is out of the body, it can still protect the scattered soldiers who are determined to die.
In this magical world where gods are real and walk the earth, the heart represents much more than just an organ.
It is also the conceptual "core" of an organism.
That is why Scaramucci, who has never had a heart, believes that he is not a complete individual. That is why when he was born and knew very little about the world, he was driven by instinct to crave a heart.
This kind of incompleteness does not refer to physical disabilities such as missing arms or legs or missing an eye or an ear. Although this kind of disability does lack something that should be possessed in the physical sense, it still has its own "identity".
Without a heart, Scaramucci is not even qualified to be called a "human"... at least that's what he thinks.
This incompleteness means that he is missing part of the concept of being a "human being".
In other words, the heart is the "core", which is part of the concept of "human being".
So, as the "Adventer", what does Zuo Xi's heart represent?
What would happen if his heart was given to a person whose concept was already incomplete?
The answer is that the other party will also obtain the identity of "Adventer"... which is equivalent to replacing the original owner of this heart.
It is not accurate to say that he was replaced, as Zuo Xi himself did not actually lose this identity.
To use an analogy, the identity of the Adventer is a ball of black ink. Only the heart has enough concentration and weight to "dye" another ball of water black, but the original ball of black ink will not turn white due to the loss of this part.
Zuo Xi’s status is “the Adventer”, so Scaramucci, who had this heart transplanted, naturally also gained the identity of “the Adventer”.
"Adventers" are not recorded by the World Tree, but their actions will not disappear because of this identity... Otherwise, Zuo Xi and Ying would not be able to participate in any affairs in Teyvat.
But no matter what they do, the "Adventers" will not leave any record on the World Tree, only traces of what they have done will be left... just like an invisible bullet shot into an ice block, there will be a corresponding trajectory in the ice block, but no shadow of the bullet.
The Nail of Punishment was brought down by Scaramuzi, and the crime was touching the forbidden truth...but this so-called taboo was only for the people of Teyvat.
The "Adventers" who are not recorded on the World Tree are truly "unrestricted" in the true sense of the word in Teyvat.
The object of punishment can no longer be found, and the so-called crime has become fictitious due to the change of identity... The Nail of Punishment will lose its target when Scaramuzi becomes a pseudo-adventurer, and the power of the rules close to cause and effect will also dissipate.
Although the punishment nails that have been lowered will not return to the same place, but without the protection of rules, the punishment nails are just a few larger stone pillars.
Not to mention Ruota, even Tartaglia can easily smash it.
This is the solution Zuo Xi came up with - hiding the truth from the world.
The only price to be paid is the sacrifice of a mortal whose life span is already limited.
