On how PhDs become human evil

However, Bai Jie is now saying that they are already on Altair's side, which means they have run away to the other side's homeland!

Meteora and the others immediately turned pale. This was undoubtedly a huge mistake. If Bai Jie had been more determined and his power was as strong as it was supposed to be, they would have been in grave danger, and might even have been wiped out here!

"Well, there's no need to be so tense. Although I'm on Altair's side, I'm a pacifist. I won't make a move unless you cause trouble. Besides, I'm almost a hundred years old. What if I hurt my back fighting you?"

Before Meteora and the others could react to Bai Jie's words, Souji already showed a disdainful expression.

You, Bai Jie? A pacifist? More like a nuclear peace advocate.

"Souji, are you thinking about something very rude?" Bai Jie suddenly looked at Souji with a smile, his expression as kind as an innocent child.

"Bai Jie, I don't remember adding the mind-reading ability to you. Also, please put down the Four Directions Gods. If you shake your hand, my head will roll off the ground."

"You didn't give me the ability to read minds, but I do have mind-reading magic, forgot?"

The commander wanted to slap himself. He had only thought the phrase "controlling all the wisdom of a world" was cool, without considering the implications it contained. Now, he realized that it was probably the most excessive cheat code he had ever given Bai Jie.

After retracting the Four Directions Gods, Bai Jie said, "Alright, thank you for making this special trip, but we have nothing to say to you. Please leave."

"Furthermore, you don't actually need to do anything. Whatever Altair does, it will only result in a win-win situation. I guarantee this in the name of the Magic King."

As soon as Bai Jie finished speaking, a magic circle appeared beneath Meteora and the others, teleporting them all away before they could even speak. As for where they would be teleported to, no one knew, but it was definitely within Japan.

Stretching, Bai Jie looked at the chief and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Don't call me unless it's absolutely necessary. You've always had people protecting you, and I'll contact you if anything really happens. Just live your life as usual."

"Always having someone protecting you? Did you hide Red in my house? Or is it Manticore? Anyway, it's definitely a beautiful girl, right!"

“It’s the Ranger and 12F.” Bai Jie ruthlessly shattered Souji’s dream. “If you really can’t stand it, it’s fine to find the Ranger.”

"Get lost! I'm increasingly finding your personality to be absolutely awful!"

"Don't you have any idea why I have this personality?"

P.S.: I don't know why, but lately I've felt like everything is going wrong, and I feel uncomfortable doing anything.

Section 345, Chapter 7: Souji Wants to Start a New Book

After seeing off Bai Jie, that plague, Souji returned to his room, plopped down on his computer desk, and slid down like a lump of mud.

"Ugh... I'm exhausted. My life for the previous eighteen years was so peaceful and normal, with nothing special except for those inexplicable dreams. Why have things suddenly become so turbulent in the last few months?"

As Souji himself said, his life was very peaceful. Apart from being a newly emerging bestselling novelist, he was almost no different from an ordinary high school student. He would wake up every day to Aoyama's phone call, go to school with Aoyama, sing praises of the beauty of youth with his classmates, and then go home with Aoyama. He would write part of his novel every day before going to bed.

It was a very peaceful life, and Souji had no complaints about it. He had even planned out his future path—to repeat a year after graduating high school, go to the same university as Aoyama, graduate together, confess his love to Aoyama on graduation day, and then live together. He would write novels, and Aoyama's ambition, as he remembered, was to become an illustrator, so they would complement each other perfectly. After writing for twenty or thirty years, he would retire and use the money he earned from writing novels to find a quiet place to live out his days.

Souji's life plan was like this, but the unexpected turn of events at that book signing a few months ago completely threw his life into chaos. His own characters started appearing and saying that the world was facing an impending catastrophe. Are you kidding me? He's just a novelist; let the protagonist do the saving the world!

"Haha~~~ I hope I won't go bald at such a young age."

After worrying about his receding hairline for a moment, Souji turned on his computer. Although his life was in complete chaos, Souji still had to continue with his life, especially his most important novel, which was his livelihood.

However, what appeared in the document on the computer screen was not the currently popular "The Doctor of Infinite Worlds," but another novel that hadn't even finished its first volume.

"Although it was a little earlier than scheduled, the editor said that it was no problem to write two books at the same time."

Yes, Souji is preparing to write his second novel. "The Doctor of Infinite Worlds" is indeed very popular, but it has already been published for more than ten volumes. All the data has reached a critical point. It will be finished in two or three more volumes, and if that happens, Souji will inevitably have no income for a period of time after it ends.

To prevent that situation, Souji decided to start a new book. In this way, by the time "The Doctor of Infinite Worlds" is finished, two volumes of the new book will have already been published, and there will be no gap in royalties.

"However, the problem now is that I don't know which book to write."

Because he occasionally receives unknown information from his dreams, Souji's mind is constantly brimming with ideas, and from among those ideas, Souji has selected a few to use in his new book.

A school-themed novel where the vampire race is wiped out, and the last young progenitor is adopted by a human hero father, an archangel mother, an exorcist brother, and a saintess sister.

Second, continuing the setting of "Doctor of Infinite Worlds", the new protagonist is a student of the Old Man of the Mountain and Fu Hua, and travels to various worlds like Bai Jie in this infinite flow novel.

Third, continuing the original world setting of Bai Jie, the story focuses on a multi-faceted spy who moves between various forces. On the surface, it tells the story of the protagonist's actions between different forces, but in reality, it tells the story of how the protagonist makes the whole world uneasy in order to pursue his wife.

Stylistically speaking, Souji is better at the second one, since both involve infinite time travel and many settings can be directly copied from the Doctor. Anyway, both are his own books, so if I copy myself, can it be considered plagiarism?

However, judging from market trends, a trend of high-IQ protagonists and dark protagonists has gradually emerged recently. For example, the protagonist is usually a minor character but secretly the leader of an organization, or the protagonist is always intelligent and his actions are not mindless or silly. These kinds of books can be seen to have strong potential in the market, such as the book "The Shadow of Strength".

After slumping in his chair and thinking for a while, Souji opened LINE and sent a message to his editor: "I think I should stick to writing that multi-faceted spy novel."

[Are you trying to switch careers? The infinite flow genre is still very popular, isn't it? Why are you writing something else?]

The editor replied quickly, and Bai Jie replied instantly: "It's very simple. Although the popularity of the Infinite Flow genre is high, it has begun to decline. The third idea, on the other hand, has a high degree of market fit and will get more money."

Yes, in the end, Souji's reasons for writing books were 40% interest and 60% for making money. He lived alone and had to take responsibility for everything himself. Without money, he would have nothing and go hungry.

The editors were aware of Souji's situation and responded shortly: "Okay, then find some time to bring the new book's proposal and the first volume to the editorial department for me to see."

"I see."

After replying, Bai Jie closed his laptop, rolled over, and lay down on the bed next to him, staring blankly at the ceiling.

(I've finally become the kind of person I hate the most. If Bai Jie sees this, he'll probably say I'm useless again. Reality is really cruel... Damn it.)

————————————————————

On the rooftop of a building in Tokyo, standing on the edge with the wind blowing, Bai Jie opened his closed eyes and a helpless smile curved his lips: "Since this is your choice, then I won't say anything more. Try to experience the cruelty of this society as much as possible. It's a good thing for you."

Starting to write novels in high school means that Souji was exposed to society during his high school years, stepping into the cruel reality with one foot in his mouth. Just like Bai Jie back then, he followed Wei Yanwu onto the world political stage with a naive heart, directly encountering the deepest darkness in the world.

Bai Jie was lucky. At that time, Wei Yanwu shielded him from too much darkness, allowing him to adapt to the darkness at a pace he could accept, so that he wouldn't be swallowed up by the vast darkness.

But Souji is different; he has nothing, and he needs to face society alone.

"Well, you are my creator after all. Keep struggling. If you are defeated by the cruelty of society halfway through, I will look down on you from the bottom of my heart."

"But... a story of a multi-faceted spy? It seems like a lot of interesting things are going to happen."

A gust of wind blew across the rooftop, and Bai Jie's figure immediately disappeared with the wind, leaving only his lingering laughter.

Section 346, Chapter 8: The Twin Dragons of Power and Calamity

It was dusk. Near a pedestrian bridge in Tokyo, a girl in a black sailor uniform was skipping along the road, carrying a bag. She seemed to be in a very good mood.

The girl's name is Chikujoin Makan, a super popular villain in the legendary light novel series "Yoroku Oniroku". In the original work, she is a vicious murderer who killed all the students in an academy and claims that she will die if she doesn't lie.

Now, while eating snacks she managed to snag from the supermarket herself, Chikujoin Makan is pondering where she should stay tonight, since she has just arrived in this world.

However, two people suddenly appeared in front of Chikujoin Shinkan.

One was a little girl dressed in pink magical girl attire, holding a magic wand in her hand, while the other was a white-horse female knight in heavy armor with blonde hair.

Mamika Kiraki and Alice Tria were the two people who appeared before Makan Tsukijouin.

"Oh my, what an exaggerated combination!" Tsukijouin Magan exclaimed in an obviously flamboyant tone, "A magical girl and... a prince on a white horse?"

"Um... nice to meet you, I'm Mamika Kiraki." It has to be said that Mamika Kiraki is a really good girl, very polite, completely different from some people who only know how to talk with their fists. "Although this happened suddenly, could you please lend us your power? We plan to help each other and find a way back to our original world together."

"Actually, this is the world of the gods who created us..."

Before Mamika Kiraki could finish speaking, a glint of light flashed in Masami Tsukijouin's eyes: "A god? I see. A god... looks like I'll have plenty to play with for a long time."

Not missing Tsukijouin Masami's words, nor failing to notice Tsukijouin Masami's earlier glance, Alice Tria stepped forward, blocking Akari Mamika behind her, while pointing her spear directly at Tsukijouin Masami: "I don't like you at all, you smell of blood."

Someone like Alice, who has faced life and death on the battlefield, is very sensitive to the smell of blood. Even after taking a bath and cleaning up, the unique smell of blood cannot be erased, which is like a mark.

Unfortunately, Chikujoin Makan had just killed an old man in the bookstore during the day because she wanted to get a book for free.

(So ​​you get it now? If you don't give me your monthly votes soon, you might suddenly die tomorrow. Super fierce.jpg)

“A wise judgment, Alice, this guy is definitely not someone we can befriend.”

A fourth voice rang out on the riverbank, followed by a series of crisp footsteps, and two people appeared in everyone's sight.

Chen, the woman hailed as the strongest Dragon Emperor, wore a blue Guardian uniform and carried a red sword across her waist.

Silver hair, black clothes, a long sword dragging on the ground, and ruthless eyes—Talulah.

The strongest Crimson Dragon Emperor and the incarnation of the Heavenly Calamity, along with their childhood sweethearts, thus entered the scene.

Looking at Tsukiyomi Shinkan, Chen said, "Bai Jie discovered a newly created being. After confirming its identity, he sent us over. In terms of its nature, you are the kind of being whose existence is the least tolerable."

"Oh dear, this young lady is really rude! Little Zhenjian is a super obedient and kind person! She just has this little hobby of lying!"

Chikujoin Shinkan still maintains a cynical demeanor, but deep down—

(I'm going to die! What's wrong with these two?! I think I'm really going to die. Are they monsters?)

Just by standing there, Chikujoin Makan could feel the hostility and killing intent that Chen and Talulah were releasing towards her. Although she had the ability to reverse cause and effect, she was just an ordinary high school student, and her combat power was no different from that of a weakling.

"Clang—!"

As the Crimson Sky sword was drawn, a crimson gauntlet appeared in Chen's hand, instantly doubling the aura surrounding her entire body.

Although she had already learned about Tsukihime Shinkan's abilities from Bai Jie, Chen did not plan to devise any battle strategy. After all, she was known as the Crimson Dragon Emperor, the embodiment of power, and she could crush any enemy with sheer strength.

"Ha, then I'll leave that to you. I'll handle the people here."

With her back to her childhood friend, Talulah looked at Alice and Mamika Kiraki. Crimson flames instantly swept out like a storm, and the sacred domain of red flames transformed into a barrier that completely enveloped the space around her and Alice. At the same time, a slightly broken, huge sword appeared in the sky above Talulah's head.

The world Talulah went to had seven beings called "Kings," who were actually seven superhumans who gained powerful abilities due to the influence of the Dresden Slate. After arriving in that world, Talulah confronted each of the Kings and attacked them one by one.

As expected of childhood sweethearts, their methods of action are exactly the same as Chen's.

"Suoh's strength should be enough to deal with you guys."

A crimson wave of flames swept outwards, instantly raising the temperature within the sacred domain to nearly a thousand degrees Celsius. Several crimson lotus dragons danced wildly as they flew out from the flames, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.

However, Alice and Mamika Kiraki, who were in this sacred domain, felt no heat at all, because they had been protected by a layer of cyan barrier when the sacred domain was opened.

This is the Blue King's power, a protective light that is the opposite of the Red King's destructive flames.

"Roar! Ro ...

The fiery dragon roared and soared into the sky, followed by a deafening explosion. Amidst the bursting sparks, a middle-aged man fell from the sky, his body covered in obvious burns.

Everyone present recognized this person.

“Blitz?!” Alice exclaimed. “Weren’t you with Altair? What are you doing here!”

“She sensed something might go wrong with the two of you, so she sent me to check on you. I was just kicked out as soon as I arrived.” Blitz endured the pain from his burns. “So, could you explain your reason for attacking me? Let’s say we’re allies.”

To Blitz's question, Talulah coldly replied, "Who knows? If you want to know, go ask my man or our creator. All I have to do is take you all down."
