If the dark arrow I shot had struck the Doctor's body, the Doctor should have turned into ashes as before, without making any noise.
The situation became so intense at this point.
Something must have gone wrong.
Did the Doctor intervene at the last moment and block the arrow?
Cole drew his bowstring again and fired three arrows in succession toward the Doctor's location.
No explosion was heard this time.
Missed the shot?
Then, Cole heard the Doctor's voice coming from the Dark Mist.
"How tragic..."
The tone of his voice seemed to carry a hint of schadenfreude and irreverent jest, quite different from his previous arrogant and conceited tone.
Is it...
As if she had thought of something, Ke Lai's heart sank.
A moment later, the chaotic elemental forces caused by the explosion subsided.
Cole saw two "doctors" standing there.
One of the "doctors" had messy hair, and his special uniform was damaged in many places, as if he had been affected by the explosion.
The other "Doctor" was completely unharmed and was looking at his companion with a mocking gaze.
Another slice...
It must have been this newly appeared "Doctor" who intervened and blocked the dark arrow for the "Doctor" who was afflicted by the "Slow Curse".
"hateful!"
"Say, shouldn't you thank me first?"
"Even if you hadn't attacked, I could have dodged it!"
"Is that so? If the experiment here in Sumeru wasn't so important, I wouldn't have intervened just now. After all, if too many people are missing, I'll have to do everything myself."
"Humph."
"Anyway, let's deal with this disobedient little mouse first. I'm very interested in the new elemental power she possesses."
The two doctors exchanged a few words, then turned their gazes to Cole outside the darkness.
Cole was immediately startled.
They can see me?!
Does the Dark Mist have no effect on them?
No, when the [Doctor] who was killed was trapped, he couldn't see anything...
So why are they able to see their exact location now...?
Is it because...
A sense of unease suddenly rose in Ke Lai's mind.
Then, her body instantly merged into the shadow beneath her feet.
The next moment, another "Doctor" suddenly appeared behind where Cole had just been.
Unfortunately, his sneak attack failed.
Cole's figure emerged from the shadows of the trees in the distance.
"Excellent reaction..."
The doctor turned to look at her, his eyes revealing a kind of excited and fanatical look.
"You actually managed to escape using your shadow. I can't wait to cut you up and study you."
As he was being scrutinized like that, Ke Lai felt a chill run down her spine.
Three "Doctors"... maybe more, who knows if other "Doctor" fragments are on their way here...
Even if their strength is not comparable to the real "Doctor", judging from their previous encounters with them, they don't seem to be much weaker than themselves when they transform into magical girls.
In a one-on-one situation, I can easily kill my opponent.
However, in a situation where there are multiple opponents, I probably don't have a high chance of winning.
Cole bit her lip hard. Although she desperately wanted to kill all the Doctor's slices, she suppressed the urge for revenge. Her slender figure suddenly disappeared into the shadows under the tree and fled into the distance.
She wasn't afraid of dying; she was just afraid that even if she died, her body would be dissected and studied by these people.
The somewhat crazed Doctor watched Cole disappear into the shadows, a strange smile playing on his lips.
"You can't escape, little mouse."

Inazuma, Narukami Taisha Shrine.
In the room, Xia Zhi suddenly heard the system's voice ringing in his mind.
"A prayer from a believer has been detected!"
Should we respond?
Xia Zhi felt a little strange.
Generally, he will only receive a similar prompt when the girls obtain transformation items and perform their first magical girl transformation.
After that, he will no longer receive any system notifications when the girls transform into magical girls.
Now, suddenly, this same prayer prompt has resounded again.
Who could the other party be?
"Yes."
Xia Zhi responded to this.
The system panel then unfolded before his eyes.
This is a character interface.
The image above shows Cole after she transforms into a magical girl.
In the upper right corner of the panel, a red exclamation mark is flashing slightly.
Xia Zhi was a little curious, so he reached out and tapped the symbol.
A character attribute panel belonging to Cole immediately appeared.
Health points are almost gone, mana points are almost gone, stamina points are almost gone...
Clearly, Cole's situation was in dire straits.
She seemed to be trapped in some kind of desperate situation.
"What's wrong with Cole...?"
Xia Zhi frowned slightly.
Then he remembered that Nasita had told him about Cole two nights ago.
At the time, she said that she had recently discovered what appeared to be the Doctor's whereabouts in Sumeru by checking the records in the Void Terminal.
[Doctor] seems to have some kind of collaboration with the Order of the Church and is secretly conducting some kind of research.
After all, the other party was a high-ranking executive officer of the Fatui, and for various reasons, Narcida decided to tell the news to Cole and let her investigate.
"So, is Cole currently fighting at the Doctor's?"
It seems that this is the only possibility.
Because when Klei transforms into a magical girl, her strength has reached the Platinum level, and she can even face the Liyue Immortal head-on.
As one of the top three executives of the Fatui, the Doctor is said to possess power comparable to a demon god for a short period of time, which is why he was able to force Coly, who had transformed into a magical girl, to such a state.
However, it's not a big problem.
I can provide remote support to Cole.
[Bestowed].
Xia Zhi raised his hand and cast a [Divine Healing] spell on the character image of Ke Lai on the panel.
Her health, mana, and stamina, which had been almost depleted, were simultaneously restored to full.
The original [Healing Spell] only restores health points, but after being cast with divine power, the skill undergoes a qualitative change, directly restoring all of these attributes.
Then, just like when he assisted Shen He in beating up Ba Che, Xia Zhi cast a bunch of buff skills on the character image of Ke Lai on the panel.
[Divine Light Shield], [Divine Clarity], [Divine Lightness], [Divine Rebound], [Divine Angelic Praise]...
After being buffed by such a bunch of powerful buff skills, all the attributes on Kelei's attribute panel were multiplied many times over, becoming somewhat outrageous.
That's almost it.
Xia Zhi looked at Ke Lai's attribute panel and nodded in satisfaction.
