On how PhDs become human evil

"Shotaro, should I break in? The professor can't just die like this." Terui Ryu, who had been brought in by Shotaro to be his bodyguard, asked.

After thinking for a while, Shotaro shook his head: "Let's wait and see. The professor shouldn't die like this."

"That's true."

Terui Ryu nodded, and then the two of them continued to focus their eyes on the binoculars in their hands.

P.S.: Update

P.S.: Will there be any abrupt or jarring moments in the domestic violence scenes you're looking for? Please point them out, I'm afraid of creating another disturbing scenario that might discourage viewers; I'm already scared.

Section 92, Chapter 27: The Magical Girl Two Hundred Years Later

Strands of snow-white hair fell amidst the blood. In the half-destroyed room, Cecilia, her face bearing more than a dozen bloody marks, revealed a chilling smile: "You, after all, still can't bring yourself to do it."

Yes, Chen didn't strike. That mighty sword strike just now only grazed Cecilia's cheek. It didn't kill Cecilia at all, and it didn't even leave a scratch. The bloodstains on Cecilia's face were just blown out by the strong wind.

"Why...why..."

Chen's hand holding the sword trembled incessantly, and even his voice trembled.

"This guy is clearly a good-for-nothing. He doesn't complete his tasks on time, he slacks off during work hours, and he's completely useless in combat training. His brain is like a block of wood, impossible to understand... This guy is simply the world's number one idiot! I thought I was the only one who was blind to fall for him, but why are you all blind too?! What is it about him that attracts you all?!"

"I was here first! I met him, fell in love with him, kissed him... everything happened first!"

Looking at Chen's hysterical roar, Bai Jie suddenly realized that Chen was actually so fragile now, completely unlike the spirited and powerful woman she once was as the director of the Longmen Security Bureau.

(Chen, after all, is just a woman....)

The person standing here now is not the invincible Chen, nor the head of the security bureau who strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies; he is merely a woman who does not want her lover to be abducted.

"Why did I fall for him? I don't even know the reason." Kal'tsit's voice broke the silence. "Just as you said, this guy is a blockhead. He's clumsy and awkward when he's working. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely be the type of person who is least popular with girls."

"But I don't know why, there's something about the righteous that attracts us, making us like them without even realizing it. Maybe that's what they call charm?" Exusiai said with a smile.

Skadi grabbed Bai Jie's clothes from behind and said, "I... just want to be with the Doctor. The Doctor accepted me, who was treated as a monster, and I'm so happy, really happy. I want to stay with the Doctor who cares about me forever."

“Frostnova and I don’t need to explain, our reasons are pretty much the same as yours.” Talulah leaned against the bookshelf with her eyes half-closed. “If there really is a spell in the world that can make someone fall in love, it must be this man. Even if he doesn’t want to do it, there will eventually be all sorts of women who fall in love with him for all sorts of reasons, just like us.”

Exusiai, Kal'tsit, Skadi, Talulah, Frostnova... all five of them, under these circumstances, expressed their feelings for Bai Jie in a way that was both subtle and direct.

Standing among the women, Bai Jie was at a loss for words. He was certain that he deeply loved Chen, but he couldn't let go of the others.

Chen is what Bai desires, and so are the women; however, he cannot have both.

"Bai Jie... what are you thinking?" Chen looked at Bai Jie, who was standing behind Cecilia. "Look at me carefully and answer me! What exactly do you want to do! If you want a divorce, I'll divorce you! Anyway, you must hate possessive women like me the most, right!"

"I like Chen the most."

!!!

The moment Bai Jie uttered those words, Chen's eyes widened in disbelief.

Stepping out from behind Cecilia, Bai Jie reached out and pulled Chen into his arms: "I'm not lying, nor am I being perfunctory. My favorite person is Chen. If I had to choose one person from all of you here to spend my life with, I would only choose you."

"I know that what happened between Cecilia and me broke your heart. I swear I didn't do it on purpose, and it was also unexpected that Cecilia would fall for me..."

“I was practically forced into exile in Europe by Bai Jie, just because he didn’t want to do anything to betray Chen,” Cecilia said with a wry smile. “I could also tell that Bai Jie was always somewhat restrained when he was with me.”

“I’m not sure about things when we were on Rhodes Island, but at least after Chen arrived, Bai Jie only had Chen in his heart.” Kal’tsit glanced at Chen indifferently. “You have conditions that we want but can’t have. If anyone should be jealous, it should be us. But you, who are the most favored, are the first to be jealous.”

Exusiai, Talulah, Frostnova, and Skadi all nodded as if in agreement with Kal'tsit's words.

Looking into Bai Jie's eyes, which were so close to his, Chen asked with trepidation, "Bai Jie...you like me the most? You're really not lying to me?"

"What else? We've already signed the marriage application, what more do you want? Do you want me to cheat on you?"

"You dare!" Chen glared at Bai Jie fiercely, then burst out laughing, a happy smile spreading across his face.

Leaning against the side and watching the two of them, Kal'tsit sighed helplessly: "Alright, alright, Dr. Chen, you two should tone it down. This isn't the place for you to be all lovey-dovey. The most important thing hasn't been dealt with yet."

As soon as Kal'tsit said that, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Cecilia.

Turning to Cecilia, Kal'tsit said, "Lady Cecilia, I am truly shocked that someone as gentle and virtuous as you could have such feelings."

“I was shocked myself. Even though I told myself countless times that Bai Jie was my adopted son, I couldn’t stop this growing feeling. When Bai Jie arranged for me to go to Europe, I thought I would find a good family there, but I failed in the end.”

"You really are a deeply sinful man, Doctor."

"That's right, that's right. I clearly said I was the best in the world, you heartless philanderer, Yiren."

"Is it my fault? Is it all my fault?"

Isn't that right?!

Faced with the unanimous opinion of the women, Bai Jie felt embarrassed and shrank to the side while hugging Chen. Judging from the current situation, it seemed that he was indeed in the wrong.

With her arms crossed, Talulah approached Cecilia: "So, what are you planning to do next, Cecilia?"

"That's true..."

Now that the truth has been exposed, the relationship between the two can no longer be maintained, and it is inevitable that this forbidden relationship will come to an end. But Cecilia really doesn't want to end things with Bai Jie like this. Just because they are mother and son, does this relationship have to be erased?

The room fell silent for a moment, with everyone waiting quietly for Cecilia's decision.

"No, the office is not open to the public today!"

"So I'm not here to ask for a favor, don't stop me, Uncle Shotaro!"

"Uncle? I'm only thirty-two years old, and you're calling me uncle! Little girl, don't you have any manners?!"

"Ugh, so annoying! Anyway, two hundred years from now you'll just be a scruffy old man! Just let me in! Otherwise, history will be changed!"

Suddenly, the sound of arguing came from outside, followed by hurried footsteps. A few seconds later, the door was forcibly pushed open with superhuman strength, and a silver-haired girl with double braids like Kiana rushed in. Her ruby-like eyes scanned the room and then locked onto Bai Jie.

"The same white coat that never changes, the bird's nest-like hair, the body without a single muscle, and this chaotic scene... You must be Dr. Bai Jie of this era!"

"So how did you confirm my identity based on these clues? And who are you, little girl?!"

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself!" After straightening her disheveled clothes, the silver-haired girl spun around on the spot, then struck a very Showa-era pose and declared: "My name is Byalya Schariac, my profession is a magical girl who upholds love and peace, and I am your adopted daughter from two hundred years in the future! Nice to meet you, Dad!"

Inside the room, Bai Jie, Chen, Cecilia, Exusiai, Skadi, Talulah, and Frostnova; outside, Shotaro, Philip, and Terui Ryu; and Tsukasa Kadoya, hiding somewhere, were all shocked when they heard these words.

P.S.: Update

P.S.: In the end, I still resorted to the almighty time travel. Please forgive my lack of knowledge; this is the only solution I can find. I also consulted many friends who are currently in relationships and classmates who are dating, but none of them could help me with this situation. If I were in a relationship, would I do the same?

P.S.: Please recommend, favorite, and donate!

Section 93, Chapter 28: Go and put history back on track.

“My…my adopted daughter?” Bai Jie stared at Bailia Shaniat in front of him, and even his genius-level brain couldn’t help but freeze at this moment.

"What's wrong? You look so dazed. Could it be that you've been captivated by my lively, cheerful, and irresistibly cute demeanor? That won't do, Dad. We'll get a scolding from Mom. I don't want to be hung up and beaten by Chen's mother again."

"Um!?"

Chen suddenly lifted his head from Bai Jie's embrace.

What did you just call me?

"Mom, is there a problem? By the way, everyone here is my mom, and those Kamen Riders outside are uncles."

"Wait a minute! Your flamboyant speech just now revealed a huge amount of information, let me catch my breath!" Bai Jie reached out to stop Bai Liya from continuing. "You said everyone here is your mother, does that mean I'll want them all in the future?"

"Yes, that's how it is according to normal historical development, but if things continue as they are now, the future will be completely different."

The future will be changed.

Frowning, Bai Jie pressed, "What exactly happened? Explain clearly, what's going on with the future!"

"I can give you my opinion, but before that... hand over the Heavenly Fire Judgment you have!"

".....Huh?" Bai Jie was dumbfounded. How did this bring up the Heavenly Fire Judgment again?

"Ugh, future dad, you're so annoying! I just wanted to play with the Judgment of Heavenly Fire, but you wouldn't let me. You said things like, 'The Judgment of Heavenly Fire is too dangerous, go play with your wand.' So what if it self-destructs? He self-destructs dozens of times every time he fights. Why can't I play with it?"

(Would my future self really be this ruthless? Self-destructing dozens of times in one attack? Is it a fear of insufficient firepower?)

————————————————————

A few minutes later, in the living room of Narumi's office, Bai Liya held the Heavenly Judgment modeled by Bai Jie in her hand, her eyes shining as if she had seen a treasure.

"This is the Heavenly Fire Judgment that you've been keeping like a treasure, Dad. You can definitely feel the immense energy it contains. It must be incredible when it erupts."

"So, you've received the Heavenly Judgment now. Can you explain the situation properly, my future daughter?"

Setting down the Heavenly Fire Judgment, Bai Liya sat down: "It's a long story, so I'll keep it short—simply put, Dad, you've opened a huge harem in the future, living a life of extravagance like an ancient emperor. But according to the current course of history, your only ending will be living happily ever after with Mother Chen."

"I think this ending is pretty good." Chen expressed her approval of the ending, saying that Bai Jie only needed her.

"Dad also said that the past should be left to its own devices, and people from the future should not interfere too much with the past. But according to Ritsuka-senpai from Chaldea, if history continues to develop in this way, it is very likely to develop into a Lostbelt. In that case, one of the two futures will definitely be completely destroyed."

"To put it bluntly—the world would explode if Dad didn't have a harem!"

Since when can having a harem save the world? And why does Bai Jie even need to save the world?! It makes absolutely no sense! This isn't a novel!

“Bella...right?” Kal'tsit spoke up. “How can you prove that what you’re saying is true? Unfortunately, in our eyes you’re just someone of unknown origin.”

"Don't worry! Your future mother Kal'tsit anticipated that you would say this at this time, and she has already given me evidence in advance. Ta-da! It's this video!"

As she spoke, Bailia turned on her phone, and Kal'tsit's upper body image immediately appeared in mid-air.

[My past self, by the time you see this video, Leah should have already told you everything. I know you must be full of doubts right now, but I want to say that Leah did not lie. If history is not corrected, our future and your future will surely be destroyed.]

There are five reasons why history changed, one of which is your current time. I remember it was about Cecilia, right? This was a crucial turning point in history. Although it's very difficult for me to accept, you must accept the others.

[Leah will tell you about the remaining three plus one historical turning point. I sincerely hope the final outcome won't turn into two futures killing each other... Wait, Exusiai, where are you? Is Bai Jie back? And with another woman? Sorry, let's end the call here. Exusiai, wait for me, I'm going to beat him up too!]

The video ended there. After putting away her phone, Bai Liya said with a smile, "After that, Dad got beaten up really badly. Kal'tsit, Chen, Exusiai, Fu Hua... Dad never came down from the sky. He was constantly being knocked into the air and made dizzy."

"Wait a minute, didn't that sound ominous? Fu Hua? You said Fu Hua, right?!" Bai Jie couldn't even imagine his future self. He actually married that old-fashioned Fu Hua! What was he thinking?! He promised to love only Chen for life!

"Well, I know you don't want a harem, Dad, but it's okay. Even if you do, just treat Aunt Chen like the Empress, right? Anyway, you're henpecked, so whatever Aunt Chen says, you'll never dare to disagree—that's how it is on my end." Bai Liya patted Bai Jie's shoulder and said, "Alright, it's almost time. People from the future can't stay in the past for too long. I'm leaving now. I have a date with Jiu Xiao next, Ciao!"

"Oh right, I'll send you the details of those historical turning points on your phone! See you in the future, Dad!"
