On how PhDs become human evil

"In the end, he is still just an intern, and he often acts on emotion and is quite reckless."

"Hisai, there's no need to kick someone when they're down like this," said Hosho Emu, rubbing his head.

Sighing, after being teased by Hojo Emu, Bai Jie lost the will to lecture him: "Well, this is a battle for your new generation, so I shouldn't interfere too much. Just be more careful in the future. And Emu, you'd better keep a motorcycle handy. It'll make it easier to move around. You were exhausted just now throwing me over. How much energy will you have left if you have to fight?"

"I won't say much about Fei Cai. You should be the most composed of the three, and then there's you—Da Wo!"

Upon hearing his name called, Hua Jia Da Wo immediately shuddered and involuntarily straightened up from his unsteady sitting posture, looking as upright as a student being lectured by a teacher.

"Please explain to me properly why the cartridge I gave you was stolen? As a Kamen Rider, how could you let your transformation item be stolen? If this were when I was still active, I would have kicked you out of the battlefield long ago!"

"Um... this... isn't it because of the problem with your gacha tape!" Hanae Taiga hesitated for a moment before retorting, "If I could even unleash my finishing move, would I have been defeated?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jie frowned immediately—this kid thinks he's right even though he's bad at cooking?

"Alright, alright, since you don't know how to use the finishing move, what about the kiting, kiting, and survival skills I taught you? Don't tell me you're going to go in and recklessly go in alone again."

"..." Hua Jia Da Wo fell silent, because he had indeed gone up and acted recklessly again.

Seeing him fall silent, Bai Jie wanted nothing more than to pull out the Heavenly Judgment and shoot him on the spot: "You reckless! All you know is recklessness! How many times have I told you that the most important thing for an ADC is to survive! You can only deal damage if you're alive! What are you, a squishy character, doing taking damage? That's Yongmeng and Feicai's business!"

Hojo Emu and Kagami Hiiro, standing nearby, both felt as if they had been shot in the chest. Although they had defensive capabilities, this was not how you could just sell yourself like that!

"Remember this, as a marksman, all you need to do is survive. You can only deal damage if you survive. Don't always think about showing off. Is this a show for you to show off? If you show off for a long time but don't deal any damage, you might as well not show off at all! Yongmeng and Feicai, you two keep an eye on him. If he continues to be reckless and arrogant, call me and I'll teach him a lesson."

"Hey, stop pointing fingers at me!"

"Huh?! You have a problem with that, kid?"

".....without."

Seeing Hua Jia Taiga shrink back under Bai Jie's oppressive gaze, Bao Sheng Yongmu and Jing Feicai both looked like they had seen a ghost. They knew how arrogant and conceited Hua Jia Taiga was. No one could say anything to him, but Hua Jia Taiga was actually completely under Bai Jie's thumb!

(As expected of a senior)

(This man has an extraordinary amount of intimidating presence.)

Of course, I wonder if they would be shocked if they knew that Bai Jie's main job was actually being a teacher.

After teaching Hua Jia a lesson, Bai Jie sat down, took a sip of coffee, and looked at Cecilia: "I was originally supposed to go to CR to introduce you, but since you're all here, I'll just say it all at once."

“Emiya, Hiiro, you should know that the Ministry of Health is planning to send someone to join CR, right?”

"Yes, I heard Dr. Kyotaro mention him. He seems to be a genius player who came back from Europe."

“That person is Cecilia.” Bai Jie pointed to Cecilia, who was sitting next to him and smiling the whole time.

Cecilia gave the three a polite smile and said, "Hello, I am Cecilia Shaniat, a prospective member of CR. I was supposed to report for duty the day after tomorrow. I hope you will take good care of me."

(She's a stunning beauty.)

(A typical European aristocratic woman?)

(…)

Seeing the three people fall silent involuntarily, Bai Jie felt a sudden surge of annoyance: "Ahem! Have you seen enough?"

When Bai Jie's sharp, knife-like gaze swept over them, Yongmeng and the other two felt a chill in their hearts and quickly withdrew their gazes from Cecilia.

Scratching his ear, Emu was the first to extend his hand to Cecilia: "Hello, Ms. Cecilia, I am Emu Hojo from CR, an intern in pediatrics. Nice to meet you."

"Yes, please..."

"No need for a handshake, Emu."

Just as Cecilia was about to shake hands with Emu, Bai Jie suddenly reached out and pressed Emu's hand onto the table. And whether it was a hallucination or not, the three of them felt like they heard a "crack" sound.

It must be my imagination.

"By the way, Cecilia, I'm a little hungry. Could you go order me a Burger A combo meal?"

"You just ate one serving... but alright anyway." Cecilia playfully scolded Bai Jie before standing up and walking towards the front desk.

After confirming that Cecilia was a sufficient distance away, Bai Jie grabbed Yongmeng and the other two by their ties and pulled them in front of him: "I'm warning you three, don't you dare try anything funny with Cecilia."

"Um...senpai, could it be that you like Miss Cecilia?" Emu asked疑惑地.

After Emu's words, Taiga and Hiiro, who were initially a bit dazed, also realized what was going on, and their gazes towards Hakuge changed. Their eyes practically said—[Senpai, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person]

Boom boom boom!

Bai Jie gave each of the three a flick on the forehead and said irritably, "Stop thinking nonsense. Cecilia and I aren't in that kind of relationship—anyway, the three of you are not allowed to have any funny ideas, understand?"

P.S.: Update

P.S.: I used 70 yellow tickets to do a 10-pull in the Little Sheep banner, but I didn't get Little Sheep. Instead, I got Red, but my Red is already at Potential 3!

Interlude 80: The Domestic Violence Unit is on its Way

While Bai Jie and Cecilia were living in the world of Kamen Rider, the people in the Honkai world also gathered together.

Inside the Far East branch's meeting room, Chen, dressed in the Lungmen Security Bureau uniform with the Crimson Cloud Sword hanging at his waist, swept his sharp eyes over the crowd below: "Is everyone here?"

Left Side - Destiny - Theresa, Kiana, K-423, Rita, Fu Hua, Kiryu Rabbit, Otto, Yae Sakura

Right side - Rhodes Island/Reunion Movement - Kal'tsit, Exusiai, SilverAsh, Swire, Saria, Amiya, Talulah, Frostnova, Kingslayer

“Everyone’s here.” Theresa and Kal’tsit, who were in charge, nodded and said.

"Very good, then let's begin the meeting." Chen opened his computer and pulled up a picture, which was a picture of Bai Jie and Cecilia showing off their affection in another world.

!!!

Upon seeing the picture, everyone present was immediately shocked, their faces showing disbelief. Theresa was so frightened that she fell off her chair, but fortunately Rita caught her in time.

Chen tapped the large screen behind him that displayed the image and said in a deep voice, "You should understand why I've gathered everyone here after seeing this picture."

"How could my brother and Mom... This can't be photoshopped, right?" Kiana asked, unwilling to believe that Bai Jie and Cecilia would have such a relationship.

However, Chen still stated the truth: "Unfortunately, this is not photoshopped, but a real fact, footage taken by the prototype dimensional observation device carried by the Fafnir."

—Dimensional observation device.

That was a half-finished invention of Bai Jie, which could intermittently observe scenes from another world. The reason for making it was that Otto wanted to find a world line where he could be with Kallen.

The original dimensional observation device could only observe the scenes of the Honkai world, but perhaps because Bai Jie traveled to another world, its true function was discovered - it can observe not only the world line of this world, but also the world where Bai Jie is located.

Even Bai Jie, its producer, was unaware of this feature. If Rita hadn't had the habit of regularly cleaning the Fafnir, the footage it captured would probably have remained hidden forever.

However, now that these images have been discovered, Chen can no longer remain indifferent. She is not a saintly girl; when it comes to matters of the heart, she has always been very selfish. She only wants Bai Jie to have only her by his side.

Looking at the picture on the big screen, Otto rested his chin on his hand, a slight smile appearing on his lips: "It would be quite interesting to show this picture to Siegfried."

"Grandpa, if you keep causing trouble, I'm not talking to you anymore." Theresa threatened Otto, who was trying to cause trouble, and Otto immediately shut up.

“Chen, there’s something I need to ask you.” Kal’tsit spoke up, “From this picture, we can only tell that the Doctor and Lady Cecilia had intimate contact, but how can we confirm that they’ve really developed that kind of relationship?”

"Indeed, we cannot draw conclusions based on just one picture, but I think the following video should be enough to prove it."

Chen made a few moves on the computer, and the image on the big screen was immediately switched to a video. The video showed Cecilia and Bai Jie walking side by side in Fengzhiqi Academy.

Of course, to unsuspecting people, this video would only lead to one conclusion—that the two were on a date.

"Crack!"

The armrest of the chair beneath her was forcibly crushed. Kal'tsit lowered her head and remained silent, but the faint black aura behind her revealed the turmoil in her heart.

Chen slapped the table and faced the crowd: "I believe you all understand now. They have developed into that forbidden relationship. But I want to make one point: in the development of this relationship, Bai Jie is the passive party."

One sentence stirred up a huge wave!

“This is really… no, thinking about it carefully, it’s not surprising at all,” Swire said. “Given Bai Jie’s personality, he really doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing. And… although I don’t want to admit it, he only has Pukjielong in his heart. He has the desire but not the courage to cheat.”

"Since you praised Bai Jie, I won't dwell on how you address me, Char Siu Cat."

"Hey, what do you mean, Chen! *Longmen profanity*!"

Ignoring Swire's displeasure, the group continued their discussion.

Upon hearing that it was Cecilia who took the initiative, Theresa, Cecilia's best friend who knew her best, was deeply puzzled: "But why would Cecilia do this? If Bai Jie wouldn't cheat, then Cecilia shouldn't do something like this, given her personality."

“My little Theresa, you just don’t understand,” Otto laughed.

Grandpa, do you know why?

"These are just some personal guesses, because I don't have a deep understanding of psychology, so I can only make a rough guess," Otto said after clearing his throat.

"Indeed, in the first few years after the Doctor was adopted, Cecilia probably treated him like a son, and Siegfried was still in Schicksal at that time. That period of time as a family of four must have been the happiest time of her life."

"But with the arrival of the Second Honkai, Cecilia rushed to the battlefield but was seriously injured. Even though I rescued her in time, it took her nearly ten years to fully recover. During the time she was receiving treatment, Siegfried defected."

"There's a saying in the East that goes, 'Men are the pillars of the family.' Siegfried's departure brought Cecilia's family to the brink of collapse, and it was the Doctor who stepped forward as the new pillar."

By this point in Otto's explanation, everyone had a general idea.

To protect his mother and sister, Bai Jie, as the only man in the family, voluntarily wore the collar given to him by Otto, sacrificing himself to bring peace to the two of them and save the family from the brink of collapse. It's likely that Cecilia had already subconsciously begun to rely on Bai Jie at that time.

In the years that followed, Bai Jie took care of almost everything, including daily expenses. In the Shaniat family, Bai Jie had essentially replaced Siegfried and supported the family.

Under these circumstances, it's somewhat plausible that Cecilia would develop feelings for Bai Jie.

“Wait a minute, so isn’t it all Otto’s fault?” Kal’tsit suddenly said, “If you hadn’t concealed the fact that Cecilia was still alive, if you hadn’t created Kiana’s clone, Siegfried wouldn’t have defected, and none of this would have happened.”

"That's right!"

After Kal'tsit said that, everyone looked at Otto with disdain, and even Theresa turned her head away and refused to look at him.

Although Otto had long since stopped caring about other people's opinions, he was still hopelessly obsessed with his granddaughter. When Theresa showed him such disdain, he immediately fell into a low point in his life, squatting in a corner and starting to draw circles in his own solitude.

"Ahem!" After coughing twice to bring the atmosphere back on track, Chen said, "Let's leave the small talk here. The reason I've gathered everyone here is to help them correct their increasingly distorted views. I'm sure none of you want to see their relationship become a complete mess."

Kiana felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about having to call Bai Jie "Dad" in the future.

Theresa imagined the scenario of Bai Jie and Cecilia having a child in the future and wanting her to be the godmother, and hurriedly drank a sip of bitter melon juice to calm her nerves.

Kal'tsit thought about having to call Bai Jie both her husband and father-in-law in the future, and her head started to ache.

......

After imagining the future scenario, everyone present had the same thought—they absolutely, absolutely had to stop those two people!

"It seems everyone is ready—Kiryu, how's the dimensional transfer device doing?"
