On how PhDs become human evil

After dinner, my mom dragged me to Wanlong Farm for a walk nearby. We walked until now and just got home. My legs are about to give out. To be honest, I'm so tired that I don't want to move a single finger. I'm just sprawled on the sofa typing now, but I guess it's impossible for me to type anything.

So, I'm sorry, I can only post two updates today. I'm really sorry.

Section 58, Chapter 31: Cecilia: Who should I choose as my daughter-in-law?

—A battlefield of carnage.

The term "Shura field" is a Buddhist term referring to a pit where Asuras fight to the death. People usually use "Shura field" to describe a brutal battlefield; later, it came to mean "a person making a desperate struggle in a difficult situation."

In modern times, with the rise of anime and manga culture, the term "shura field" has acquired another meaning: it refers to a scene where multiple people compete with each other, show off their talents, exclude others, and vie for the attention of someone they like.

Just like it is now.

In the reception room of St. Freya Academy, Bai Jie sat on the sofa, his left arm held tightly by Chen, while Talulah was on his right. Frostnova, sitting opposite him, kept looking in their direction with longing and yearning in her eyes, but was too shy to come closer.

As for the regicide, he is now leaning against the wall without saying a word, seemingly dozing off.

Three hours ago, after Frostnova and Talulah teamed up to instantly kill Chi You, the two had already started competing on the Hyperion. After returning to St. Freya Academy, the two openly began vying for Bai Jie's attention.

Now it's the result of their compromise. Although Bai Jie was relieved to stop fighting, his arms suffered.

Bai Jie was initially excited when Chen and Talulah hugged him, since neither of them were flat-chested, but his arms went numb after a while.

If your arm is numb, can you still feel that soft touch? Obviously not!

"Hey you two, isn't it about time you let go? My hands are numb." With the courage to face the final boss, Bai Jie suggested to the two of them.

Looking at Talulah, Chen said, "Did you hear that? My husband told you to let go."

“No, no, no, he clearly told you to let go. Don’t you even have that much discernment, Superintendent Chen?” Talulah retorted directly to Chen’s words, just like a batter in a baseball game.

Oh no, the atmosphere is getting even worse!

(Anyone, please come and help me escape this hellish situation!)

To be honest, Bai Jie really wanted to leave, but he couldn't beat either of the two women! Even if Chen and Talulah unleashed an entire Pacific Ocean, Bai Jie still wouldn't be able to defeat them! After all, he was just an office worker!

"Oh, you're all here."

Just as Bai Jie was feeling extremely uneasy, a voice rang out in the room. It was this voice that made Bai Jie feel as if he had heard the voice of divine salvation. He hurriedly said, "Mom? What brings you here?!"

"Mother?"

Aside from Chen and the Kingslayer, Frostnova and Talulah looked at Cecilia, who had just walked in, with expressions of surprise.

Talulah had already investigated Bai Jie thoroughly. He was born in Lungmen, became an orphan at a young age, grew up in the slums, and eventually entered the Lungmen administration through some chance encounters.

It's obvious that Bai Jie couldn't possibly have a mother, but now Bai Jie is calling the woman in front of him "Mom," so the answer is obvious—she is the adoptive mother that Bai Jie has recognized in this other world!

Seeing this, Chen and Talulah felt embarrassed to continue holding Bai Jie's hand. Instead, they sat up straight, looking like a bride-to-be meeting her mother-in-law.

"By the way, Mom, what brings you here?" Bai Jie asked in surprise. "How could Otto allow you to come to the Far East Branch?"

"It's all because such a big thing happened in China that alarmed the whole world, and Otto sent me out to negotiate with China and also to be stationed at the Far East Branch."

Upon hearing the information revealed in Cecilia's words, Bai Jie was immediately stunned: "Moving into the Far East Branch?! Really?!"

“Yes, of course it’s true. I just met Theresa, and she was quite startled. She thought I was a ghost,” Cecilia chuckled. “Oh, right, Kiana and Rita are here too. Why don’t you go meet them first? I’ll have a good chat with… these three prospective daughters-in-law.”

—My future daughter-in-law!?

Upon hearing this word, Chen, Talulah, and Frostnova all blushed, while the Kingslayer had somehow vanished.

"But Mom, those three..."

"Alright, alright, go ahead. Also, I won't pursue the matter of Siegfried and the other Kiana, but you can handle their own affairs."

Before Bai Jie could finish speaking, Cecilia forcefully pushed him out.

————————————————————————

Outside the reception room, looking at the closed door, Bai Jie, though unsure of what Cecilia wanted to say to Chen and the others, decided after some thought to temporarily leave the place in the care of his mother.

"Wait, how come there are three prospective daughters-in-law? Could it be that Froststar is also..."

P.S.: Update

P.S.: It's unbearably hot, I can't concentrate on writing at all, so I'll keep it short. Also, tomorrow's update will be very late because I'm going to Jiangyin to open an ICBC bank account. The application and contract have been signed, and I need to handle the contract matters. There won't be many updates for the next couple of days.

Section 59, Chapter 32: I met a little girl during my evening walk. (●'?'●)

"By the way, bro, who are you planning to marry?"

As soon as Bai Jie left the meeting room and found Kiana and the others, Kiana immediately said this to him.

"Pfft—!"

Bai Jie had been enjoying a cup of coffee he bought from a vending machine on his way here, but the question immediately caused him to spit it out, spraying brown coffee all over Kiana's face.

"Whoa! Kiana, are you alright?!" Bai Jie hurriedly inserted the [Ocean] memory and manipulated the coffee on Kiana's face to fly into the coffee can in his hand.

Kiana touched her face, gave her brother a disdainful look, and said, "So, bro, who are you planning to marry? I see a lot of girls are interested in you."

"Become your sister-in-law...aren't I about to marry Chen? I've already submitted the application." Bai Jie said matter-of-factly.

Upon hearing Bai Jie's answer, Kiana couldn't help but cover her face: "Sure enough, people with high emotional intelligence have low IQ, and people with high IQ have low emotional intelligence. Bro, you must have sacrificed your emotional intelligence to exchange for IQ."

"I won't go into anything else, but bro, what are you going to do with Rita? She's liked you for a long time."

"Lady Kiana!" As soon as Kiana said this, Rita, who had been waiting nearby, rushed over with a flushed face and covered Kiana's mouth. "I'm sorry, Lady Fafnir. Lady Kiana likes to talk nonsense. Please pretend you didn't hear what she just said."

Scratching his hair, Bai Jie looked at Rita in front of him somewhat awkwardly: "Even if you say that, I heard it clearly. Kiana said you like me."

"Rita, just stop hiding it. There are plenty of people who like your brother anyway. What's wrong with saying it out loud? If you keep dragging your feet, you'll never win him over in your entire life." Kiana said, pushing Rita's hand away. "Let me make it clear from the start, brother, I'm on Rita's side."

Listening to Kiana's words, and being stared at by Bai Jie, the usually flawless maid Rita was now blushing as red as Fuji, her face almost drooping to her chest.

Rita liking him wasn't actually that shocking to Bai Jie. It's true that he has low emotional intelligence, but not as low as those oblivious male protagonists in anime. He had vaguely sensed Rita's feelings for him.

Of course, it was only vaguely visible.

"Ugh! What's going on? All my relationship problems have suddenly come to a head lately." Bai Jie grabbed his hair in frustration. "It's terrible. There's just no way to explain relationships with scientific theories. It's outside my area of ​​expertise."

"Even now you're still trying to solve problems with scientific theories. You really are an emotional idiot."

Upon hearing this voice, Bai Jie turned around and shouted at a certain rabbit who was walking towards him, "Do you have the right to talk about me like that, rabbit! Aren't you still having an ambiguous relationship with that muscleman back at headquarters!"

"Ugh—! How did you know... No! Don't talk nonsense! Ah Long and I have nothing going on!"

With a disdainful sneer, Bai Jie scoffed, "Then may I ask who was in the dorm in the middle of the night, having a long, mushy phone conversation with someone in Europe?"

"You...you actually eavesdropped on my phone call?!"

"Who told me to overhear some mediocre white-haired guy on the phone on my way to the cafeteria late at night when I was hungry, and the tone of his voice... Pfft, I mean, you're already thinking about having kids before you're even married to him?"

"Ughhhhhh!"

Kiryu Rabbit ran away crying. For a young girl, nothing is more embarrassing than having her secret revealed in public.

Seeing the rabbit crying, Bai Jie sneered coldly—"Little brat, you're still a decade too early to fight me."

"Dude, you really are an emotional idiot."

“Lord Fafnir, Rita really has nothing to say now. You really don’t understand women at all.”

"Hey, hey, hey? What did I do wrong?"

Bai Jie was completely bewildered by Kiana and Rita's accusations.

Just then, another voice came over: "Here! Auntie, hurry up! There's someone here who looks exactly like me and is calling me a fake!"

"Kiana, slow down, I can't keep up with you!" With her pitiful little legs, Theresa ran after K-423, but when she saw Kiana standing with Bai Jie, Theresa was stunned.

"My niece... has two? When did Cecilia have her second child?"

With an extremely complicated expression, Kiana stepped out from behind Bai Jie, gave Theresa a standard bow, and said, "It's been a long time, Aunt Theresa. I am Kiana... Kiana Schariac."

"I'm calling you Fafnir, what's going on? How come there are two Kianas?" Theresa was a little confused about the situation.

With a helpless sigh, Bai Jie began to explain to Theresa.

"It's a long story..."

"Then let's get straight to the point!"

Bai Jie almost choked on Theresa's words. To make a long story short, Auntie, do you have to be in such a hurry?

However, seeing the extremely anxious expression on Theresa's face, Bai Jie could only summarize the matter as best he could: "To put it simply, my mother didn't actually die fourteen years ago. Instead, she was hidden by Otto as a secret weapon, and he used this to threaten me into assisting him."

"Then, regarding Kiana, the Kiana who was taken away by Siegfried in 2009 was a clone, a product of Otto's plan, while the real Kiana has always lived with me and my mother."

After hearing Bai Jie's explanation, Theresa felt completely overwhelmed.

His own niece wasn't his niece, and his real niece was being treated as a fake one...

"boom!"

Theresa suddenly felt a rush of heat to her head and collapsed. It seemed her brain had received too much information at once and couldn't process it all. How could an S-rank Valkyrie be so pathetic? Look at the other S-rank Valkyries, aren't they all extremely reliable and mature women? But Theresa is not only a silly and cute little girl, but she's also not very bright.

(I really don't know who will become my uncle in the future, so I'll take a moment to mourn for him in advance.)

Of course, Bai Jie didn't think Theresa would end up with another man, because Otto would kill any man like that first. His nickname as the number one granddaughter-obsessed man in Destiny was no joke.

P.S.: Update

P.S.: I've thought about it carefully, and now I have a few options for the next world: Tokyo Ravens, Ordinary Jobs (mainly because I'm currently catching up on the novel), A Certain Magical Index (Juichiro Ichiro, which I can ride the wave of popularity; the other two are disabled characters fighting), Type-Moon (which will have some modifications), and Kamen Rider. Which one do you think is better?

Section 60, Chapter 33. Do you guys like Kamen Rider that much?

Sitting at the dinner table in St. Freya, looking at the group of people around him, Bai Jie suddenly felt that St. Freya was an incredibly amazing place.

Theresa and Cecilia, S-rank Valkyries; Himeko and Fu Hua, A-rank Valkyries; K-423, the core of the Otto Project; Kiana, who combines the bloodlines of the two Schicksal families; Mei, the Herrscher of Thunder; and Bronya, the Saintess of Anti-Entropy.
