On how PhDs become human evil

"Huh? Really!"

Really, when have I ever lied to you?

"Then it's up to you!"

After Fujimaru Ritsuka finished speaking, she closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, [Fujimaru Ritsuka] had returned.

After stretching her body, [Fujimaru Ritsuka] pulled a pair of frameless glasses from the light and put them on her eyes: "Hey!"

A blindingly bright light illuminated the small room, and what emerged from the light was no longer the figure of Fujimaru Ritsuka, but a rabbit with a blue top, red bottom, and two head crests on its head...

"Hey! You just called me a rabbit, didn't you!"

"...No, you must have misheard."

Bai Jie turned his head to the side, and then a flash of black light appeared in his hand, and the Holy Lance of Twilight appeared in his hand. Dark golden flames shone from the Holy Lance, and the original gold Invincible Player Armor gradually turned black and gold under the influence of this flames.

"Hmph! All that fancy talk, let's see how I deal with you!"

As he spoke, Sai Rabbit raised his left hand, on which was a silver-white wristband. It was the ultimate power given to him by Ultraman Noa, one of the Four Mysterious Ultras, which could easily defeat even Belial after he absorbed a huge amount of energy.

This was originally meant to save the universe, but now, Zero is going to use just a tiny bit of it for his own selfish reasons... It really is just a tiny bit of power (he gestured the gap between his thumb and forefinger).

However, to the rabbit's surprise, the wristband on his wrist seemed to be a fake, and it did not respond at all no matter how he called out to it.

"Are you thinking of using the power inside that bracelet against me?" Bai Jie's voice echoed softly. "Sorry, I have a habit of disabling or sealing the weapons and items of someone I'm evenly matched with before we start fighting. Your bracelet gave me a very bad feeling, so while we were arguing, I put a dozen or so seals on it and a few minor curses on you, which should reduce your abilities by about 80%."

"Then let's have a fair one-on-one duel, and let me see how powerful Ultraman is."

Looking at Bai Jie speaking with such righteous indignation, Sai Tu Zi, who had been afflicted with nearly twenty debuffs, felt like she had encountered someone even more insidious than Belial—you've added so many curses to me and you still call it a fair fight?! Have you no shame!

P.S.: Actually, I'm thinking of starting a new book—about a vampire whose clan was wiped out, who survives among heroes, angels, exorcists, and saintesses and tries to revive his family (in every sense of the word), but I haven't decided yet whether to write an academy story or an isekai story.

Section 336, paragraph 29. Author: Bilibili is amazing! They actually bought the entire JoJo series!

Zero got hammered.

Although he is the strongest warrior of the younger generation in the Land of Light, has saved the universe several times, and possesses the cosmic artifact Paragi Shield, and can fight Belial to a standstill in one-on-one combat, this still cannot allow him to fight against a cheater with all his attributes reduced by 80%.

Do you think everyone is a 50/50 player with Sharingan eyes?

With all his attributes reduced by 80% and the divine artifact, the Shield of Paragi, sealed, Zero became so weak that he couldn't even defeat a member of the Space Garrison. Yet, he was facing White, who wielded the Holy Lance that had killed the Beast King and wore the Fear of the Iron Chicken.

So he got hammered, and given that he had previously said he would deal with Bai Jie properly, he got hammered very badly.

After Sai Tu Tu was defeated, Fujimaru Ritsuka surrendered without hesitation. She had realized during the battle that Bai Jie didn't actually want to be her enemy, just like the wise king Gilgamesh she encountered in the Seventh Singularity. They were all testing her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to use so many complicated curses to weaken them and then fight them in a way that resembled education.

Bai Jie has said that he has been in contact with the Root and has knowledge of the entire world. Fujimaru Ritsuka believes that as long as Bai Jie is determined, he can unleash a destructive magic that Zero cannot resist at any time.

Therefore, Fujimaru Ritsuka made the following judgment: Bai Jie did not have any good feelings towards them, but he also did not have any bad feelings towards them. He should treat them as neutral Servants.

"To be honest, before I met you, I did have a bad feeling about you. I was even thinking of feeding you to Ah Cai as dog food. But since you saved human history, I'll give you a way out."

These are Bai Jie's original words. At that time, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not know who A-Cai was and only thought of him as a little dog. However, when she saw Fenrir perched on the roof of the headquarters, all they felt was relief.

According to Dr. Roman's observations, Fenrir's magical energy fluctuations far exceeded those of the Flame Giant they encountered in the Norse Lostbelt, almost three times greater, and not much different from those of a Grand Servant.

In other words, if Fenrir is included, they almost became enemies with two Grand-level beings. Looking back now, they were really lucky to survive because of their past good deeds (saving humanity).

Now, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Masashige are on their way to visit someone.

--------------

Sakura Empire First Hospital is the best hospital in Sakura Empire. Because it is the front line of Azur Lane's fight against the Sirens, the facilities set up here are all the best, including the hospital.

Because they had made an appointment in advance, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu arrived at the hospital room of the person they wanted to see without any problems. As soon as they opened the door, Fujimaru Ritsuka's first words were: "Miss Zero, how is your injury?"

"Don't call me 'Miss'! I'm a man!"

On the hospital bed, a girl with silver hair and heterochromatic red and blue eyes shouted in utter shame and indignation.

This girl was none other than Sai Rabbit. Because she had been brutally beaten by Bai Jie, in order to teach this arrogant Ultraman a lesson, Bai Jie used his rarely used gender-changing magic, Kamishiro, to directly extract her from Fujimaru Ritsuka's body and turn her into a girl.

"Damn it! How could he make me suffer such humiliation? I'll settle the score with him once I recover!"

Mashu placed the fruit basket on the bedside table and said, "But I think Zero-senpai is pretty good too. How should I put it... he has a cool older sister vibe."

"Mash, even you say that..."

"And Zero, are you sure you can beat Fafnir when you're fully recovered? I saw you get beaten pretty badly back then."

Fujimaru Ritsuka's words dealt Zero a direct blow, causing the Ultra Warrior who had saved the universe multiple times to begin to wonder if he could actually defeat White.

After thinking for two or three minutes, Zero came to a very sad conclusion: it seemed he really couldn't win. If he could become Shining Zero, that would be fine, but the problem was that he couldn't do it now!

(Go back and look for Tiga. He often transforms into Shining Form, so he should know how to enter that state. But he's nowhere to be seen all day long. Where can we look for him?)

Seeing Zero remain silent, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu exchanged a glance, then couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing the laughter, Zero asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"No, it's just thinking about happy things."

"What's the good news?"

“When we first met, you came to provoke us wearing a full suit of training armor, and then Grandpa slashed you all the way,” Fujimaru Ritsuka said, suppressing a laugh. “After that, you were just like this, head down, thinking about how to deal with Grandpa.”

Hearing Ritsuka bring up her embarrassing past, Zero subconsciously turned his head away: "Let's not talk about my shameful things back then, okay? Besides, I still can't beat Grandpa, can I?"

Grandfather, or rather the first Elder of the Mountain, a Grand Assassin, was already incredibly powerful. After following Chaldea through the world and coming into contact with a much wider world, he experienced a qualitative leap in strength.

You know Belial's Ultimate Battle Device, right? A hundred monsters, what a spectacle! When it was released, it was incredibly impressive—and then Grandpa went up alone and wiped them all out.

A few years later, Belial returned with his Galactic Empire, with millions of Dark Zeros, so numerous that it triggered trypophobia in anyone looking at them—and then Grandpa single-handedly wiped them out.

Belial is truly pitiful. To be honest, the massive army he painstakingly built couldn't even defeat an old man.

Recalling his grandfather's ferocious fighting prowess, Zero shuddered violently: "Compared to this, what about that guy? He turned me into this, I still have to settle the score with him."

"Fafner? I don't know. He's probably handling something. I've been observing him these past few days. To use a familiar term, he's... a conscientious boss who works hard?"

----------------------

Fujimaru Ritsuka is right. Bai Jie is indeed a hardworking and good boss. He works twelve hours a day without exception, and he doesn't even go to sleep when his own ship girls are asleep. He's just like Zhu Yuanzhang who just deposed the prime minister.

But right now, Bai Jie isn't working. This isn't to say that Bai Jie is slacking off, but because he received a call from Otto.

On the computer screen, only four people were chatting in the chat room:

Karen, world number one: @Fafner Schariac, are you there? Something's come up on my end.

Fafner Schariac: What's wrong?

Karen, the world's number one: You said you wanted Rita to come to your place, so I sent Rita two days ago, but I haven't received any contact from her yet. Have you received her?

Fafnir Schariac: I haven't received it. I haven't seen any sign of Rita. Did something happen to her?

Kallen is number one in the world: I'm afraid so. According to the information, Rita's last appearance was in Shenzhou. I have already notified Miss Chen, Cheng Lixue and Fu Hua. If you can, why don't you go and take a look too?

Fafnir Schariac: I understand. I'll go as soon as I finish what I'm doing.

After sending the message, Bai Jie closed his laptop and continued processing official business, but his review speed increased significantly, and his handwriting became more sloppy.

------------------

In a desolate wilderness of China, Rita, clad in the God-Slaying Armor [Azure Knight: Moon Soul], wields Skadi of Eternal Frost and Silver Moon, gazing at the person not far away.

“Rita Roseweiser, please don’t misunderstand, I am not your enemy. On the contrary, I am here to become your ally.”

The man said with a smile.

"I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Altair, and I am the one who rebels against the gods."

P.S.: Bilibili is amazing! They actually bought all five parts of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure! November 30th! Get ready for a celebration!

P.S.: You all probably know what I'm planning to write about in the next volume. I followed it episode by episode. Although it was very talkative in the beginning with a lot of explanations, you'll find that without the explanations from the beginning, you won't understand the later parts at all.

Section 337, Chapter 30: Bai Jie: About to cross the dimensional barrier to fight the author.

They rebelled against the gods.

This phrase is not unfamiliar to Rita. Although she was just a little girl when the final Honkai occurred, she is now the vice-captain of the Undying Blade and knows a lot about what happened back then, otherwise she would not know about Bai Jie's existence.

At that time, Destiny's stance was to rebel against the world and against the gods, but now that the Honkai has disappeared, why rebel against the gods?

“Ah, please don’t misunderstand. What I want to rebel against is not the gods of this world, but the creators who made us exist,” Altair explained.

"What I am about to say may seem like a fantasy to you, but it is all true. If you want to take my words as nonsense, please do so after you have heard it all."

“I have no obligation to listen to what you have to say here. I have a mission to go to that person. Please step aside.”

Rita emanated an extremely cold aura, and an icy blue light shone from her and the Silver Moon, causing the surrounding environment to freeze.

If Altair dares to refuse, Rita will kill him at her fastest speed. As the vice-captain of the Undying Blade and a top-ranked S-class Valkyrie, Rita is confident in this.

In response to Rita's threat, Altair laughed and said, "Unfortunately, this space has been sealed off by me. Unless I allow it, even if you defeat me, you will be trapped here forever."

"So please stop what I'm saying, because this involves the reality of the world."

When Altair said this, his expression was as solemn as Walter's when he was negotiating with Otto. It was an expression of complete concentration and extreme seriousness, which showed just how serious Altair was about what he was about to say.

After hesitating for a moment and considering several possible solutions, Rita finally sighed, put down Skadi of Frost, and the figure of Silver Moon disappeared from her side.

Seeing this, Altair immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your understanding. Now, let me explain the truth of the world. I believe that after listening, you will become my ally."

"Oh? May I hear it too, Miss White Hair?"

Clap!

The space that had been completely sealed off by Altair's power shattered instantly. Before Altair could recover from his shock, a holy spear burning with black flames pierced down from the sky like a shooting star streaking across the heavens, striking the ground between Altair and Rita with incredible speed.

"clatter..."

With his feet lightly touching the ground, Bai Jie drew the Holy Lance, slung it over his shoulder, and looked at Rita: "Oh, I didn't expect you to get lost in a place like this, Rita. If you don't report to me on time, I'll dock your pay."
