Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

He believes it's more worthwhile to make the most of something than to simply use it as a consumable.

In a sense, this can be considered the insignificant tenderness that a villain could offer.

Therefore, after the "Doctor" finished explaining the progress of his current experiment and other details, Pantalone took the opportunity to make another suggestion to Dotole.

"The recent situation is encouraging. However, speaking of the powers in the 'dream' realm, I think that the children who are being used as test subjects could be put to good use as experimental subjects for consciousness uploading. This way, the efficiency can be maximized."

"On the other hand, by uploading consciousness to the cloud, we can also observe the effects of consciousness staying in the 'dream' for a long time. This will also help us to further study the field of 'dreams'. What do you think of this idea?"

After Pantalone made this suggestion to "The Doctor," Dotore's face also showed a thoughtful expression.

"By utilizing the residual value of infected individuals with 'imaginary internal energy' and studying the improvement in 'imaginary internal energy' aptitude of infected individuals during this process?"

"I must say, as expected of you. Such constructive and valuable advice. I'll do that after we've used up the remaining value of those 'imaginary internal energy' infected."

After listening to Pantalone's suggestion, Dotole's face was full of appreciation for Pantalone and agreement with the suggestion.

This practice of squeezing every last bit of residual value from the experimental subjects, without wasting a single one, perfectly aligns with Dotole's ideas.

After all, even for him, the precious experimental subjects were becoming fewer and fewer with each use.

Although obtaining experimental samples was not difficult for him, such careless consumption and waste would be very troublesome if he wanted to continue using them next time.

Seeing the expression of immense admiration on Dotole's face, Pantalone reasonably suspected that Dotole might have misunderstood him, but since the result seemed to be similar to what he had initially intended, he didn't say anything more.

Just as Dotole was expressing his appreciation for Pantalone's suggestion, he suddenly received another communication, causing him to frown slightly, despite his previously casual expression.

Seeing Dotole's reaction, Pantalone realized that the communication did not seem to be good news.

So, at the same time that Dotole ended the communication, Pantalone also asked the "Doctor".

"It seems you've received some bad news, my friend."

"In fact, just as you guessed, my subordinates who are in charge of managing those experimental subjects just told me that there was a slight accident at the containment facility."

The "Doctor" rubbed his temples, then expressed his disgust and anger at those good-for-nothings who had failed to keep an eye on the shelter.

However, considering that they were still in front of Pantalone, even though the "Doctor" was furious, he restrained his emotions, took a deep breath, and answered.

"You should remember what I just told you about how I used 'imaginary internal energy' to infect and screen experimental subjects, and selected an outstanding individual as a vessel to inject demonic remnants as material for the next stage of 'fusion warrior' research, right?"

"what happened?"

After seeing the "Doctor's" reaction, Pantalone vaguely guessed what the "Doctor" had received in the communication.

However, he still planned to ask Dotole to confirm this.

After calming himself down a bit, Dotole then explained.

"I have a demon-level experimental subject whose containment has failed. It is probably because the power of the demon remnants in the experimental subject's body was accidentally activated during the experiment, which caused the containment settings to be damaged and the containment failed."

“The demon-level contained entity has now escaped from my testing site. It will take me a little while to find the escaped demon-level test subject.”

"You know I don't like unnecessary complications or trouble, but right now I probably don't have much time to catch up with you or talk about other things."

"Fortunately, the test subject couldn't possibly run very far. Basically, the only direction she could go or escape to is Mondstadt, which is closer to Winter, so it's not too troublesome."

Dottoré's reply gave Pantalone a general idea of ​​what had happened.

Although the "Doctor" didn't explain everything clearly, considering all the information we just gathered...

He is now almost certain that the demon-level experimental subject that the "doctor" mentioned, which had suffered a containment breach, is most likely Cole.

This gave Pantalone some ideas and thoughts, but he still needed to do more preparation work before deciding what to do. However, he had some other ideas now.

He presented his application to the "Doctor".

"Speaking of which, I happen to have some business to attend to during the winter. As for that demon-level experimental subject you mentioned that had its containment breached, why don't you leave that matter to me?"

"It's not impossible to give it to you, but the power of the demonic remnant after being intensified by 'imaginary energy' is too great. Can you handle it?"

After thinking for a while, the "Doctor" looked at Pantalone and asked.

Pantalone, the ninth seat of the Fatui Executive, is not particularly skilled in combat.

Although as an executive officer, his own strength couldn't be too weak, he couldn't be said to be particularly good at fighting either.

Pantalone gave Dotole only this reply.

"It's alright, I know how to do things properly. I just happened to have some business to attend to in Mondstadt recently, so it's just a convenient stop along the way."

"Since you're confident, then this matter is entrusted to you."

After seeing Pantalone's insistence, "Doctor" decided not to say anything more.

Although Pantalone's strength wasn't among the top of the executives, dealing with a containment breach subject possessing some of the power of a demon god was still no problem for him.

So he didn't pay too much attention to anything, but paused halfway through his sentence.

"Speaking of which, I also have another active segment outside. After I mastered the 'imaginary energy,' this other segment seems to be trying some new experiments and research on the dragon near Mondstadt."

"If you happen to be passing through Mondstadt, you might want to take a look. It seems that the fragment of me has made some breakthroughs in the study of 'dreams' and created some novel things."

"However, I don't know the specifics, since different slices are responsible for different other tasks. If you're interested, you can find another one of me to ask about the details."

Pantalone naturally knew which slice Dotole was referring to.

In his memory, there were only a few dragons associated with Mondstadt and also known as the Demon Dragon. However, the dragon that the "Doctor" was talking about could not possibly be one of those two, so only one dragon remained.
