On how PhDs become human evil

Bai Jie's question was directed at Kallen, the original sin.

Nodding, Kallen smiled and said, "While I wouldn't dare say we'll win, if we unleash our Noble Phantasms, we should be able to hold them off for more than ten minutes."

Kallen's Noble Phantasm, Burial Mechanism, allows her to unleash legion-level firepower on her own, making her a formidable weapon in war. Against Rider, her overwhelming barrage of artillery would have no problem slowing him down.

"Then there's the archer... zero threat."

"What?" Kenneth frowned. "That golden servant, he's not a threat at all? Are you out of your mind, Fafnir?"

Waving his hand to signal Kenneth to calm down, Bai Jie laughed and said, "Indeed, that archer's attack method is extraordinary. In terms of combat power, he is definitely on the same level as Sirin—but the premise is that he has enough magic power."

“Last night, Archer said this during the retreat, right? [You’re getting bolder and bolder, Tokiomi] That sentence has already exposed his Master.”

A name alone cannot reveal the identity of the other party, but the Archer's combat power is so strong that it cannot be summoned by affinity summoning. Therefore, the only thing that can be thought of is artifact summoning.

The more powerful the Heroic Spirit, the rarer the relics required for summoning them, and they are definitely not something that can be obtained casually. Even with Kenneth's status and wealth, he could only obtain the relics of the King of Conquerors, while Archer's strength was clearly no less than that of the King of Conquerors.

The answer is obvious: Tokiomi is clearly a Japanese name, and in Japan, there is only one magician capable of obtaining a relic of that caliber.

"I see. The head of the Tohsaka family, Tohsaka Tokiomi."

"The Tohsaka family's traditional magic is gem magic, which is an extremely expensive type of magic and the foundation of the Tohsaka family's livelihood. Therefore, the Tohsaka family must possess a large number of high-grade gems. —But what if these gems are gone?"

Upon hearing this, Kenneth immediately understood what Bai Jie meant.

"As a family of magicians, the Tohsaka family must have a large amount of magic materials. Since their family magic is gem magic, most of these magic materials must be gems, and there are definitely gems containing a lot of magic power among them."

"If these gems are taken away, then Tokiomi Tohsaka will only be able to support Archer's actions with his own magical power. But how long can a magician's magical power last? As long as Sirin intervenes and increases Archer's magical power consumption, she can deplete his magical power in at most an hour. And wouldn't a Servant who has lost his magical power support be easy to deal with?"

Before a battle, one should reduce the enemy's strength as much as possible. This is Bai Jie's consistent style, just like when he used a series of schemes to outmaneuver Dan Masamune in the world of Kamen Rider.

"But how are you going to steal the jewel? Tokiomi Tohsaka is also an excellent magician, and his magic workshop is definitely not easy to break into."

“Indeed, but mystery loses its effectiveness in the face of higher-level mystery, and the mystery of a Servant is undoubtedly higher than that of magic. Besides, haven’t you noticed, brother? There are only two Kallens here.”

Kenneth naturally noticed that only two people, Kallen and Sirin, came with Bai Jie, but he thought that the phantom thief Kallen was just out gathering information. He never expected that she was ordered by Bai Jie to steal the gem!

"I think I heard someone calling my name. Is that you, my lovely Master?"

Dark raven feathers drifted down in the room, and from within them, the figure of the phantom thief Kallen slowly appeared before Bai Jie.

"What was the result? Was it discovered?"

"Rest assured, that golden servant is not in the manor. Moreover, there is no treasure in the world that I cannot obtain, not to mention that it is a huge treasure vault. Naturally, I brought it all back. Please take a look."

Phantom Thief Karen took out a handkerchief, covered the ground with it, and shook it lightly. The previously empty ground was immediately covered with small mountains of gems, and in addition to gems, there were also many other precious magical materials!

Looking at the pile of stuff, Bai Jie and Kenneth exchanged a glance, and then both revealed greedy expressions.

"What a brilliant move to undermine your cause! You truly deserve to be my sworn brother."

"No one said you can't interfere with your opponent during the day; this is just a reasonable action within the rules."

————————————————————

Meanwhile, the Tohsaka family.

Feeling inexplicably uneasy, Tokiomi Tohsaka went to his magic workshop to calm down, but when he arrived, he found the room completely empty.

My research data, magic props, magic materials... everything that could be taken away from the workshop has vanished!

A thief broke into his house!?

"Oh right, the warehouse!"

Tokiomi Tohsaka rushed into the warehouse almost instinctively, and as he expected, all the inventory inside had been swept away, leaving him with not a single thing!

With a thud, Tokiomi Tohsaka knelt on the floor and then fainted.

P.S.: Update

P.S.: I encountered a god-tier match in King of Glory. The enemy team had four marksmen and one mage, while we had four mages and one marksman. Every team fight, my Gan Jiang's flying sword never missed. If the enemy dared to stand still for even half a second, I could instantly kill them. Not to mention we also had Shouyue.

Section 109, Chapter 13: Fighting the Sea Demon? The Deep Sea Hunter requests to join the battle!

Several days have passed since the first night of battle ended.

In the past few days, although Bai Jie could feel huge magical fluctuations in Fuyuki City every night, he did not participate in them, but only released his drones to observe the battlefield.

However, the fighting only took place at night. The daytime was peaceful, even to the point of being boring. And now, because of this excessive boredom, Bai Jie was lying paralyzed on the bed, exuding a lifeless aura.

"I said... Karen? Are you there?"

On the sofa beside the bed, Kallen, the Sin, put down her book, sighed helplessly, and said, "What's wrong, Master? Are you hungry?"

"Come here and give me a kiss."

Upon hearing this, Kallen of Original Sin remained silent for a moment, then drew her Blood Hand Saint and pointed it at Bai Jie's forehead: "Master, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

"But it's so incredibly boring... Aren't there any major disasters like the apocalypse of Japan happening?"

“You can’t bother me just because you’re bored. If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll really teach you a lesson.” Kallen put away her dual pistols. “If you’re bored, Master, can’t you go out and gather information yourself? It’s not good to always send the phantom thief.”

"Let me out? Karen, are you a demon?" Bai Jie looked at Karen with horror. "Listen up, Karen. I'm the kind of person who's a total shut-in. Unless I'm really forced to, I will never step out of my house. Even just being exposed to the sun feels like I'm going to die."

"No, that's not human anymore, it's a vampire. —Speaking of which, what happened to those gems you had the phantom thief steal? Didn't they contain a lot of magical power?"

The gem stolen from Tokiomi Tohsaka contained magical power comparable to a portion of a dragon vein. Given the immense magical power, it was impossible to fully utilize it quickly. Therefore, Bai Jie and Kenneth divided it into two parts in a 4:6 ratio for processing.

Bai Jie handled part six, while Kenneth handled part four.

However, although he wanted to deal with it, Bai Jie didn't have any magic tools at hand. All he could do was absorb the magic power inside the gems or turn them into ammunition.

"Ha... I really hope something interesting happens so I don't get bored any longer."

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

It was late at night, and as usual, Bai Jie finished dinner and waited for Kenneth to call him. But unexpectedly, after receiving the call, Bai Jie was summoned to Wei Yuanchuan.

Bringing Sirin to Weiyuanchuan, Bai Jie originally thought that Diarmuid and Artoria had chosen to have their final battle here, but to his surprise, what he saw was a scene that could only be described as hell on earth.

In the very center of the two-hundred-meter-wide river, a man in a long robe with an extremely distorted face stood openly, and the magic power emanating from him revealed his identity—a Servant.

"They've finally arrived, Caster and her Master." The first to speak to Bai Jie was the Conqueror King. "No, little girl, you shouldn't be Caster, the real Caster is in the middle of the river right now."

“We never said we were Casters; that was your own guess,” Bai Jie shrugged. “So, can anyone explain the current situation?”

Shaking his head, Diarmuid said, "We've only been here a short time, but judging from the current situation, it seems Caster has lost control."

Without his Master by his side, Caster stood in the middle of the river, where there were no islands, as if he were standing on the water's surface. If you looked closely, you would see that the water beneath his feet was teeming with terrifying alien shadows.

Judging from the unusual release of magic, there is no doubt that Caster is performing some kind of large-scale magic, and the dense fog that originated from the river is probably the aftereffect of this magic.

Caster not only didn't chant, but also didn't seem to be concentrating. He just stood there casually, and from the grimoire in his hand, a chaotic vortex of magic flowed continuously, distorting the surrounding space.

As an unconventional magic furnace, and a treasure capable of releasing spells independently, it became an extremely dangerous weapon in the hands of a madman.

"Looks like I'm not too late."

With the roar of a car speeding by, Artoria arrived at everyone's side like a gust of wind. Upon seeing Artoria's appearance, Caster on the river surface immediately showed an extremely excited expression, and even the aliens under his feet started to dance wildly, like fanatics performing some kind of cult ritual.

"Welcome, Holy Maiden. It is my greatest honor to see you again."

Facing the Caster who bowed to her in respect, Artoria relentlessly questioned, "What kind of trick are you up to today, you scoundrel!"

"I'm sorry, Joan of Arc. You are not the guest of honor at tonight's banquet."

Caster answered with an incredibly mad grin.

"However, I would be overjoyed if you would grace me with your presence! Gilles de Rais has prepared a feast of death and depravity; please enjoy it to the fullest!"

Caster laughed loudly. Beneath his feet, the dark water began to stir. Countless monsters gathered at the summoner's feet unleashed countless tentacles, engulfing Caster, who stood atop them in his cloak.

At first glance, it seems that the rebellious familiars are attacking Caster, but Caster, whose body is covered with tentacles, raises his voice and laughs wildly, his arrogant laughter almost like a scream.

"Now I will raise the banner of the Savior once more! The forsaken gather around me! The despised gather around me! I will command you! I will lead you! The resentment of us oppressed will soon be conveyed to God! Lord of heaven! I will wash away our sins and praise you!"

The bubbling water swelled, pushing Caster, who was about to be swallowed by tentacles, upwards. The number of monsters that had once been his foothold increased dramatically, and judging from the depth of the riverbed, their numbers were terrifyingly large.

"Arrogant God! Cold-hearted God! We will drag you down from your throne! Lambs favored by God! People with bodies like God! We will humiliate and tear you apart! The mockery of us rebels will knock on the gates of heaven with the cries of the Son of God!"

It was a grotesque shadow towering in the darkness, its appearance hideous and its presence incredibly oppressive. Even the whales and squid, the rulers of the deep sea, did not possess such a massive form.

This nightmarish figure, reigning over all the world's seas, is truly a colossal aquatic beast worthy of the title "Sea Demon."

However, just as everyone was filled with fear of the giant sea monster, Bai Jie's eyes became strange, because the more he looked at the sea monster, the more familiar it seemed.

"By the way, when I went to Skadi's hometown before, I saw Skadi fight this thing one-on-one."

Although there are some differences in the details, the sea monster in front of us and the demons that dwell in the deep sea of ​​Terra should be the same type of being.

How about we call Skadi and Specter over?

P.S.: Update

P.S.: I suddenly realized that Bluebeard and Jeanne are practically carbon copies of Otto and Kallen, the déjà vu is so strong!

P.S.: I wanted to call over Orca and Sharky, but I don't have Sharky. However, Skadi should be fine in a one-on-one fight, since she's a professional.

P.S.: Please vote with monthly tickets, recommend, and tip!

Chapter 110 Qixi Festival Special: My Body is on Rhodes Island, But My Heart is in Lungmen

In the Rhodes Island office, after finishing a full day of work, Bai Jie stretched and yawned: "Ahhhhh! I'm exhausted. What's wrong with Amiya today? She gave me so much work all at once."

After tidying up the official business that Bai Jie had finished, Lin Guang, who had been working overtime with him until now, patted Bai Jie on the shoulder: "You've worked hard, Doctor, today has been really busy."

"Exactly! I feel like Amiya dumped all the tasks for the next three days on me. Honestly, can't she handle some of them herself? She just dumped them all on me!"

Early this morning, just as dawn broke, Bai Jie was dragged out of bed by Amiya. When he arrived at his office, he found his desk piled high with three large stacks of documents waiting to be processed.

"I'm very sorry, Doctor. In principle, these are all things I should handle, but today I really have something that I must complete, so I can only ask you for help!"

The above are Amiya's original words to Bai Jie at the time. Who knows what Bai Jie was feeling when he sat down at his desk?
