On how PhDs become human evil

"Thump!"

A violent crash echoed through the sky, as if a giant cannon of spiritual energy had struck the dome. Cracks appeared in the sky, and what appeared at the other end of the cracks was—

Section 411, Chapter 43: All six stars in Arknights are gathered!

"Dan Kuroto, come here! I promise I won't kill you!"

Inside the Huanmeng Group, Bai Jie was speaking kindly to Tan Lidou not far away. Anyone who saw the smile on his face would think he was a great philanthropist.

However, Dan Li-dou said that he believed one word of Baek Je's words and wrote his name backwards!

"Doctor, put down the Chronos card before you say that—and don't take out the familiar's shikigami talisman either!"

"Okay."

Bai Jie decisively put away the Chronos cassette and shikigami talisman in his hand. Just as Dan Kuroto breathed a slight sigh of relief, cannon barrels appeared behind Bai Jie, each with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters. The dark muzzles were chilling to look at.

Bai Jie pointed the cannon at Dan Lidou and laughed, "I was originally going to beat you up, but since you're asking to be blasted to death, I'll reluctantly agree."

"I never said I wanted to be bombed to death!"

"But didn't you want to avoid being beaten to death?"

"I.....!"

Dan Kuroto finally understood what Bai Jie meant—[Since you don't want to be hit by a close-range Ora, then you can be hit by a ranged Boo].

Although he was a bugster and still had over sixty lives left, Dan Kuroto had no doubt that Hakuge would blast away all sixty-plus of his remaining lives with a single shot.

"Hey Doctor, calm down. I admit I messed you up this time, but didn't you also gain a few more wives as a result?"

"Oh huh?"

It would have been better if Dan Lidou hadn't brought it up, because it only made Bai Jie angrier.

He already had enough wives at home to keep him busy, and this guy has added two or three more to his list. Is he trying to make his love triangle even more chaotic than he imagined?

"It seems you really want to die a few times, Li Dou."

A golden shikigami talisman was taken out, and Bai Jie's face revealed a crooked smile as he poured spiritual power into it—

"Wait, Doctor! Don't release that thing here! All the electronic equipment will be destroyed!"

"Screw your electronic devices! I'd rather all of these things were gone! — Lion's Gold!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOO——!!!"

Dan Reito's mournful cry echoed throughout the Huanmeng Group.

————————————————————————————

Himeragi Yukina and Aiba Asagi are sitting upright on the sofa in Narumi's office, both with obvious tension and unease on their faces.

Eight hours ago, due to the fierce battle between Bai Jie and Ye Se Xia Yin, the dimension between the virtual world and the real world was opened, and almost everyone in the vicinity at that time was brought to this world by the cracked dimensional rift.

Upon learning that they were merely programmed beings, Yukina Himeragi and Asagi Aiba suffered an unparalleled mental shock. Fortunately, Hakujie used a calming spell in time, otherwise, the two might have developed mental problems.

Meanwhile, although Natsune Yase was defeated by Hakuge at the moment of breaking through the dimension, her angelic image was still witnessed by the people of this world, causing a stir in society. Fortunately, not many people witnessed it, and it was eventually treated as a mirage.

The dimensional rift was closed by Bai Jie afterward, and everyone who came to this world was sent back by Bai Jie. However, something went wrong with Himeragi Yukina and Aiba Asagi. Perhaps because they had too much contact with Bai Jie from that other world, after arriving in the real world, the two immediately gained physical bodies under the influence of the evil of this world, meaning that they were no longer virtual beings.

Since a three-dimensional being cannot enter a two-dimensional world, Bai Jie had no choice but to leave the two behind and take them back to his home. However, as soon as he entered the house, Chen and the others locked him out, saying that they needed to have a good talk with Himeragi Yukina and Aiba Asagi.

Right now, the group is having a family meeting.

"Himehira Yukina, and Aiba Asagi, right? I've heard about you from Talulah. Thank you for taking care of my idiot in that world."

Upon hearing Chen's words, Himeragi Yukina and Aiba Asagi hurriedly shook their heads.

"Please don't say that. I haven't taken care of you at all, on the contrary, I've always been taken care of by you." — Himeragi Yukina, the housekeeper of the Bai Jie family in the virtual world.

"I didn't help him much; he was the one who took care of me the whole time, in terms of my studies and daily life..." — Aoi Asagi, Bai Jie's source of information.

Seeing their immediate denials, Chen smiled and said, "I know what kind of person Bai Jie is. Although he has the ability to handle almost everything by himself, he is a complete failure in his personal life. Whether he is here or there, his home will definitely be a mess if no one takes care of him."

“That’s true. My lab was a mess when I got home yesterday, and it took me a while to clean it up,” Cecilia said with a wry smile. “Luckily, Kal’tsit isn’t like that, otherwise it would be troublesome to have two people in the house who are not good at taking care of themselves.”

“I’ll take your words as a compliment,” Kal’tsit said.

Raising her hand timidly, Yukina Himeragi asked with a curious expression, "Um... it seems like everyone has a good relationship with you, Senpai? What's your relationship with you all?"

"My wife." ×3

Chen, Cecilia, and Kal'tsit spoke at the same time.

“Well, although we’re called wives, only Chen and Cecilia are officially married. He and I are still missing a wedding ceremony and a marriage certificate,” Kal’tsit laughed. “Because he said he would wait until he’s completely free before holding a wedding for all of us at once, so I’m not in a hurry.”

Kal'tsit's words made both Yukina Himeragi and Asagi Aiba stop thinking.

They had assumed that the beautiful women in front of them were just Bai Jie's roommates or at most close friends, but they never expected that they were all Bai Jie's wives!

"Wait a minute!" Asagi suddenly realized something. "You just said you're all Ashiya's wives!? And judging from your tone, there are more than just you two. Just how many wives does that bastard have!?"

“That’s true. On the surface, it’s just the three of us and four others who aren’t here right now, but there are plenty of guys who like him,” Chen said. “That’s why we’re talking to the two of you. You like that guy too, right?”

"I like... no way! Why would I like someone like you, senpai!"

"You're right! I don't like that guy at all! That bastard who ruins girls' hearts should just die!"

(Ugh, typical case of saying one thing but doing another, and both of them are like that.)

(Isn't that guy especially attractive to tsundere types?)

(Are you saying you're also a tsundere? But you used to seem like you were.)

"Cough cough!"

After covering up the embarrassment of having his dark history brought up by Kal'tsit, Chen said, "Well, you don't need to hide anything. We've all been there, and we can see that for us, it's just a few more competitors."

"That's all... Is this what you call the composure of the empress?" Kal'tsit frowned.

"Is not it?"

Chen glared back at Kal'tsit with a confident expression.

The air thick with tension began to fill the Narumi Office. There was even a faint spark between Chen and Kal'tsit when their eyes met. The tense atmosphere made Himeragi Yukina and Aiba Asagi involuntarily shrink back.

"Ding dong!"

Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and everyone present frowned. Before anyone could open the door, it was opened, and a young girl walked in.

"Is my brother here... Mom?!"

P.S.: My royalties arrived today, so I quickly bought the monthly gift pack. I originally wanted to pull for Reed and Broca, and I actually did pull for Reed, but after pulling, I realized I had a few Originium from single pulls left, so I used them all. Then, after two quick pulls, I suddenly got Exusiai! I was so happy! Now I have all six-star characters!

Section 412, paragraph 44: Kevin: I apologize, so please don't kill me.

mom.

In Cecilia's memory, only one person calls her that, and that is her daughter Kiana, but Kiana is still in Azur Lane.

The girl who walked into the agency now looks almost exactly like Kiana, but her hair is loose and flowing, and she is not wearing the Schicksal uniform, but a black leather jacket. Most importantly, she has heterochromatic eyes, one gold and one blue.

The newcomer was none other than K-423, who came from the Collapsed World!

With the help of Kevin Kaslana and World Serpent, Kiana obtained the second Divine Key of the previous era and fully unleashed the power of the Herrscher of the Void within her.

However, what is called "leading out" is actually just forcibly replacing Kiana's consciousness with Sirin's consciousness, and then Kevin comes on stage and beats Sirin up. Poor Sirin has only been awake for a short time and has not even fully mastered her power before encountering Kevin, who can solo a Herrscher.

Kevin, who had just fused with the Honkai Beast genes 50,000 years ago, was able to solo the Herrscher of Flame. After obtaining the Judgment of Heavenly Fire, he soloed the Ninth Herrscher and the Eleventh Herrscher.

This was his record from 50,000 years ago. After a long period of slumber and awakening, Kevin has experienced countless battles in this generation, and now he can easily defeat the current Herrscher of Reason, Welt Yang.

Compared to Kevin, Sirin was like a little girl who had just gained power. She was defeated without any resistance, and her consciousness was severely damaged and sank into Kiana's body. According to Fu Hua's estimate, it would take at least a hundred years to fully recover, and a hundred years would be enough time for Kiana to master the power of the Herrscher of the Void.

After gaining control of the Herrscher's power, Kiana used the Second Divine Key and World Serpent's quantum technology to begin a world-traveling journey. After overcoming countless hardships, she finally arrived at the world where Whitebeard lived.

Seeing the three familiar figures in the room, Kiana's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"Sister-in-law...Mom...and Dr. Kal'tsit...you're all still here...you're all still here..."

Seeing Kiana suddenly stand there and start crying, Chen and the other two were stunned for a moment. But Chen quickly realized what was going on: "You are... K-423?"

The only person Chen could think of who was Kiana, who claimed to be his sister-in-law and knew Kal'tsit, was someone from before Bai Jie returned to the past and changed history.

"...I am Kiana, and my other self gave me this name."

Kiana hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"More importantly, where is my brother? Didn't Kevin say that my brother was in this world?"

"Kevin? How did we get involved with him again?"

Chen and the others had even deeper doubts.

Kiana's sudden appearance from the original timeline, the ominous situation revealed in her few words, and the mention of Kevin... what exactly happened in the Honkai world?

Cecilia approached Kiana and gently took her hand: "Alright, alright, you're Kiana too, right? Calm down and tell Mom everything, okay?"

"Hmm...I understand."

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

Just as Kiana, Cecilia, and the others began to tell their stories, Bai Jie also encountered an unexpected person on the street.

In an open-air café by the roadside, Bai Jie sat at a table: "I didn't expect you to come to this world. Aren't you going to worry about the Sirens and Azur Lane?"

"Because of that powerful spell you cast before you left, Doctor, the Sirens were severely damaged and surrendered early on. Now, Azur Lane is even joining forces with the Sirens to promote world development."

Across from Bai Jie, Kevin spoke with a sunny smile.

Bai Jie added two sugar cubes to his coffee and stirred it while asking, "So, you're taking a vacation after retirement?"

“How could that be? I’m… atoning for my sins now.” Kevin’s tone was somewhat bitter. “In the past, in order to completely defeat the Honkai, I let the World Serpent enter many world bubbles through the Sea of ​​Quanta, manipulating the development of history from the dark side. Although it was supposed to be to fight the Honkai, the World Serpent’s actions caused a lot of tragedies.”

“I didn’t think there was anything wrong with this before. In order to fight against the Honkai, necessary sacrifices are necessary. But after seeing the history you changed, I realized I was wrong.”
