On how PhDs become human evil

"Hmm, good morning. I really slept well last night!" Cecilia said, stretching vigorously, revealing her perfect body to Bai Jie.

"Clang!"

Suddenly, a sound of pots and pans crashing to the floor came from the kitchen, startling Bai Jie, who hurriedly asked, "Ya Yi, what's wrong?"

"N-nothing! I just accidentally bumped into a condiment, Captain, don't worry!"

Mei's voice sounded somewhat hurried and embarrassed. After all, for her, who was in charge of the kitchen, having an accident in the kitchen was a very embarrassing thing.

However, besides this reason, Bai Jie vaguely felt that there was another reason why Mei seemed rushed and awkward, but unfortunately, Bai Jie's emotional intelligence was not high, and he couldn't figure out what that reason was.

"Beep beep!"

Just as Bai Jie was feeling extremely uneasy because it was just him and Cecilia in the restaurant, his personal terminal rang.

This sound was like a timely rain, relieving Bai Jie's embarrassment.

With lightning speed, Bai Jie pulled out his personal terminal and answered the call, asking, "It's me, what's up?"

“Here we go again, clues from another world.” Kal’tsit’s voice came from her personal terminal. “Amiya just contacted me, still in the meeting room. Seven more clues have appeared, along with a note.”

"A note?"

"【I'm just a Kamen Rider passing by】—that's all I have to say."

"Why do I feel like the person who wrote this is incredibly annoying?"

"What a coincidence, I thought so too. So, what do you think, Doctor? Are you still going to travel to that world through clues, like before?"

Bai Jie tapped the table twice, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Hmm, let's nail the clues up there. We'll probably all be teleported there. Remember to let Otto know."

"I see."

Kyle hung up the phone after speaking, while on Bai Jie's side, after Bai Jie put down his personal terminal, Cecilia asked, "What's wrong? Fafnir, what happened again?"

"Yes, something has indeed happened. I'm going out for a while, it might be a long mission." Bai Jie said as he stood up and walked towards his room.

However, Bai Jie may have underestimated Kal'tsit's speed. He had just stood up when that familiar white light appeared in the space!

"Holy crap! Kal'tsit, you rushed us way too much! I haven't even packed my luggage yet!"

"Fafner! Watch out!"

Perhaps out of love for her son, Cecilia immediately stood up and rushed over when she saw Bai Jie being swallowed by the sudden white light. And it was because of this rush that the white light that enveloped Bai Jie also affected Cecilia.

Mei, who rushed out of the kitchen after hearing a noise outside, saw only the sight of Bai Jie and Cecilia being swallowed by white light.

"Captain! Lady Cecilia!"

Mei immediately tried to rush over, but the white light suddenly surged, and the excessively bright light made Mei subconsciously raise her hand to shield her eyes. When the white light dissipated, Bai Jie and Cecilia had already disappeared from the restaurant.

P.S.: There will be one more update tonight, and tomorrow I'll resume four updates a day.

Section 62, Chapter 1: I am—Kamen Rider Doctor

"Hoo-ha...hoo-ha...why did this happen to me?!"

On the street, Eriri Sawamura was running at full speed, and chasing after her was a strange-looking man riding a yellow bicycle.

Eriri Sawamura originally just wanted to take a shortcut because she was going to be late for school, but she never expected to encounter this kind of thing!

"Why is Bugster here?!"

——Bugster

This is the name of the monster that is chasing Eriri Sawamura. Because her father is a diplomat and is also a friend of an official in the Japanese Ministry of Health, Eriri has heard some things about Bugsters.

But what she didn't understand was why she was being hunted down! She really was just passing by!

"Hahaha! Keep running! That will make me even happier! Let me turn into the wind!"

The strange man on the bicycle laughed and shouted, pedaling even harder, increasing the already high speed of the bicycle once again. If he were on the street, he would have been stopped by the traffic police immediately.

"I can't go on... I can't run anymore!"

Eriri has been running for five or six minutes since she encountered the Bugster. She was never good at sports, and as a doujinshi artist, her otaku nature made her physical abilities terrible. To be honest, running for this long was already Eriri's best performance!

And now, Eriri has reached her limit.

"Hahaha! Can't run anymore? Then I won't hold back!"

Eriri could hear the voices behind her getting closer and closer, but her legs wouldn't budge, feeling as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

Ten meters, five meters, three meters, two meters, one meter... The bicycle wheels are about to touch Eriri's body!

And at this very moment—

"Go away!"

A calm voice rang out, followed by a violent storm that erupted in the street. The Wind Hammer slammed heavily into the monster's body, sending him flying.

Eriri, who had already covered her head and crouched down in defense, was stunned by what she saw. Then, she heard that voice again: "This school uniform...you're from our school, right?"

Upon hearing this, Eriri quickly turned around and saw a white-haired man wearing a white coat.

"Mr. Bai?!" Eriri exclaimed in surprise.

"Call me teacher, are you my student?" Teacher Bai—Bai Jie asked with some doubt, he really didn't remember ever teaching the girl in front of him.

"No, I'm from the class next to yours. My name is Sawamura Spencer Eriri."

Upon hearing Eriri's self-introduction, Bai Jie thought for a moment and realized that he did seem to have heard of such a person before; she seemed to be a celebrity at school.

"Well, just stay here for a bit, I'll be done in a minute."

Looking at Bai Jie who had walked up to her, Eriri couldn't help but ask, "Teacher... can you handle that monster?"

Bai Jie did not answer immediately. Instead, he took out a belt from somewhere, put it on his waist, and then took out a memory chip and inserted it into the belt.

【Joker】

"Transformation."

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

A purple wind suddenly swept across the street, rapidly wrapping around Bai Jie's outstretched hand like a tornado. Pieces of black fragments, like wall tiles, clung to Bai Jie's body as the wind blew, and a flash of red light streaked across his eyes.

The black knight, the Joker, has arrived!

With a flick of his hand, Bai Jie pointed at the Bugster bicycle that had gotten up and was looking at them warily, and said, "Alright, let's count your sins."

boom--!

The ground was shattered in an instant, and a strong wind howled through the street. Bai Jie, who was originally standing in front of Eriri, had already rushed in front of the strange man!

"boom!"

The black right fist struck the monster's chest with tremendous force, sending it flying.

"What's wrong? It's not over yet."

Following closely behind the monster, Bai Jie suddenly raised his leg and delivered a powerful knee strike to the monster's abdomen, turning his body into a right angle.

The Joker Memory's effect is very simple: it only strengthens the body and also gives White Gon master-level fighting skills. Other than that, it has nothing. It can be said to be the most unpretentious memory.

But beneath its unassuming exterior lies terrifying power. If a Bugster, skilled in defense, is hit by a punch from Whitebeard in his Joker form, he will be in so much pain that he won't be able to get up for a long time.

"Thump thump thump! -- Thump!"

After delivering three consecutive punches to the monster, completely shattering his defenses, Bai Jie followed up with a short punch. An invisible cannonball exploded in Bugster's chest, sending Bugster flying like a kite with a broken string. He crashed into a wall and then fell to the side of the road.

Bai Jie clapped his hands, pulled out the memory chip, and then inserted it into another groove in his waist.

【Joker! Maximum Drive! 】

Let's end it with this.

Purple flames gathered in Bai Jie's hand, pulsating like a heart, resembling a hellish red lotus, giving off an extremely ominous feeling, making one intuitively know that it was not something to be easily touched.

Sensing the warning from its survival instincts, Bugster immediately staggered to its feet and tried to run away, but before it could, Bai Jie had already rushed in front of it!

"Rider Punch!"

With a low groan, Bai Jie swung his right fist, which was burning with purple flames, and struck the bugster in the chest with the force and power to split a mountain. Then he slowly turned around.

Boom—!

A deafening explosion rang out behind Bai Jie, the violent blast wind whipping everything around them, and the crimson flames illuminating Bai Jie's figure.

For a moment, Eriri was stunned by the sight of the black knight standing proudly amidst the flames.

"Hey, what are you looking at? Don't you want to go to school?"

Bai Jie's voice brought Eriri back to her senses, and Bai Jie, who had somehow deactivated his transformation and appeared before her, was now standing in front of her.

"It's almost time. If we keep playing, we'll be late. I don't want Cecilia to accuse me of neglecting my duties."

"Huh!? No way, teacher, please help me!"

Hearing Eriri's mournful cry, Bai Jie sighed as if in disgust, then took out [Cyclone], which whipped up a strong gust of wind and carried Eriri into the sky.

P.S.: Update

P.S.: After some consideration, I've decided to focus primarily on the Kamen Rider storyline, interspersed with some everyday characters and storylines. The main Kamen Rider storyline is Ex-Aid. Considering the existence of the theatrical versions, I'm treating the world backgrounds from W to Ex-Aid as a single entity. Since Teruyo appears in Drive, Drive appears in Ghost, and Ghost appears in Ex-Aid, I've simply connected all the Kamen Riders in between, and all the main characters will appear. Regarding the protagonist's ability to defeat Bugsters despite not having a Gamer Driver, my theory is that the protagonist inputs the Gamer Driver's data into the Memory, so even transforming using the Memory allows him to defeat Bugsters. I'm not sure if this theory is reasonable.

P.S.: Double update today, then I need to catch up on Ex-Aid. I haven't watched it for a while and I've forgotten most of the plot, but Build remembers it perfectly.

Section 63. Doctor: I've been humiliated. I've already been humiliated in Chapter 2!
