On how PhDs become human evil

"By command of the Command Spell, Sirin, stand up and dance, to that Elysium I showed you before."

"Hey! Don't push your luck! Waaaaaah! Why should I dance for you two?!"

Despite her reluctance, Sirin obediently began dancing a rhythmic dance under the forceful command of the Command Seal.

Watching Sirin dance while crying, Fu Hua felt that her worldview needed to be shattered and rebuilt.

What did she see? That Herrscher, who took it upon himself to destroy civilization and treated humans like ants, was actually so obedient to Bai Jie?! And even dancing over there?!

"Who...who are you?" This was the umpteenth time Fu Hua had asked Bai Jie this question. She had truly never seen a man with such extraordinary methods!

“I already told you, I’m your teacher from over thirty years in the future,” Bai Jie said, stopping Xilin from dancing. “Well, you probably don’t understand just by saying it like that, so let me tell you from beginning to end, about what will happen in the next thirty years…blah blah blah reoreoreoreoreo…”

————————————————————————

An hour later, after taking a sip of water to moisten his throat, Bai Jie breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Fu Hua, who was clearly in a daze. He waved his hand in front of her and asked, "Fu Hua, are you still there? Hey, are you there?"

"Looks like she's gone. Should I wake her up?" Sirin, standing to the side, was eagerly summoning the Spear of the Void, preparing to shoot Fu Hua.

—And in fact, she did just that.

"Inch Force - Heaven-Splitting!"

However, just as the Spear of the Void was about to touch Fu Hua, Fu Hua suddenly sprang up and punched Sirin in the stomach, sending her flying. A large, human-shaped hole appeared in the ceiling.

Swish!

She teleported back into the room, clutching her stomach and glaring fiercely at Fu Hua: "You...you actually dared to hit me!"

"Huh?! Sorry, I sensed some killing intent just now, and I instinctively threw a punch... Did I go too far?"

"It's alright, Fu Hua, don't worry about her. She's gotten quite arrogant lately, it's good to put an end to her arrogance." Bai Jie made an irresponsible statement, "Compared to Xilin, Fu Hua, have you even thought things through?"

"Ah... I understand to some extent now. Although I still have doubts about how much of what you said is true, for now I'll just assume that you really are people from the future."

"That's great. To be honest, I was worried about what would happen if you didn't believe me, since you're known for your stubbornness."

In fact, Bai Jie was also hesitant. A month ago, he and Xilin came to this era. At that time, he was thinking about who he should contact first, and in the end, he chose Fu Hua, who was the most difficult to persuade.

Fu Hua's personality dictates that she won't easily trust others, but if you can persuade Fu Hua, it's like getting an invincible Joker. After all, Fu Hua in this era is not like Fu Hua more than thirty years later; in terms of combat power, she completely surpasses the level of an S-class Valkyrie.

"So, what exactly do you want to do by returning to this era?" Fu Hua asked. "Is it because an insurmountable enemy has appeared in the future, and you want to come back to the present to deal with it beforehand?"

"How could that be? I don't believe any Herrscher can withstand a direct hit from the main cannon of the Moon Throne. At worst, the Far East Branch has a whole bunch of Herrschers." Bai Jie waved his hand with a smile. "The reason I came back is actually to change a wrong piece of history."

"A flawed history?"

"The Second Collapse that occurred in 2000, that period of history went wrong, and I came back to change it."

2000... After muttering this date for a moment, Fu Hua suddenly asked, "But isn't that twenty years from now? Why are you coming back to this era?"

"Um... I need to sort out my relationship problems. I'll probably have a lot of romantic entanglements in the future."

Upon hearing Bai Jie's words, Fu Hua paused for a moment, then immediately delivered a powerful attack to him!

P.S.: One more chapter, time for coffee!

Section 139, Chapter 3. Walter: My account has been hacked?

"Gulp~~~"

Patrick downed his beer in one gulp and let out a satisfied shout: "Whew! That feels great!"

“Patrick, don’t drink during a mission.” Cheng Lixue, standing next to her, frowned and said unhappily, “What if the mission fails because of drinking?”

"What does it matter? We're almost there anyway," Patrick laughed nonchalantly. "Besides, we have the excellent Valkyries directly under His Holiness the Bishop with us this time."

As she said this, Patrick shifted her gaze to the white-haired girl standing not far away, holding a gun.

Even the usually serious Cheng Lixue had to nod in agreement with Patrick's point of view: "Indeed, the mission this time is very simple. It is just to transport the weapons to the second laboratory. With three Valkyries of A-rank or above transporting them, it can be said that there is no chance of failure."

"But what kind of weapon is it that requires three Valkyries to transport it? Even the bishop's personal Valkyrie has been sent. This young lady of the Shaniat family is not often seen."

Cecilia Schariac, that's the name of the gun-wielding girl. Among the Valkyries, she can be considered one of the most mysterious. Unless it's an important mission, you'll never see her. But this time, she was sent out on a mission to transport goods.

“…I really don’t know what Lord Otto is thinking,” Patrick sighed.

"We just need to do our job well and not worry about anything else."

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

In a forest on the Danish border, Bai Jie and Fu Hua were walking through the woods.

"Hey Fu Hua, why did you suddenly say you wanted to come here? It's a good thing I lost my perfect attendance bonus again."

Hearing Bai Jie say that, Fu Hua rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "Perfect attendance award, perfect attendance award, all you know is the perfect attendance award, it's just 600 yuan, can't you have some ambition!"

Three years ago, after explaining his situation to Fu Hua and obtaining her consent, Bai Jie moved into Fu Hua's house with Xilin, officially beginning his life in this era.

At first, life was stable. Fu Hua worked at a bar every night to earn money and supported her two family members during the day. However, the bar didn't pay much. Fu Hua could live comfortably on her own, but it was a bit of a struggle for the three of them.

So Bai Jie was forced by Fu Hua to go and get a job.

What? Why not let Sirin get a job? Do you think Sirin, with her personality that treats humans like ants, is suited to working?

Bai Jie was originally very resistant to working. After all, he couldn't just go to work whenever he was told to. That would make him lose face. He was, after all, a Kamen Rider who had saved the world!

But as the saying goes, the essence of humanity is being a broken record and having a "it smells so good" mentality.

Fu Hua both loved and hated Bai Jie's hard-working attitude in supporting his family. She loved that he was finally not a freeloader and was able to support himself, but she hated his reluctance to take leave. Asking him to take leave was like asking for his life, just to keep his perfect attendance record from being broken.

This time was the same. A few days ago, Fu Hua observed the celestial phenomena at night and found that there was something wrong with the astrological chart of his beloved disciple Cheng Lixue. He wanted to bring Bai Jie along to see what was going on, but Bai Jie refused to ask for leave no matter what, saying that if he asked for leave, he would lose the perfect attendance bonus.

Fu Hua wanted to beat him up right then and there. Who was it that swore he'd never work a day in his life? Was your life goal just to get the perfect attendance bonus?

Finally, under Fu Hua's threat of Inch Punch: Heaven Opening, Bai Jie pitifully went to ask the store manager for leave, and asked for a long leave of one month.

"So why do we have to come to Denmark?" Bai Jie asked, "especially to this godforsaken place on the border? Is your apprentice playing survival games?"

"That level is no challenge for Lixue at all. I trained her so well that she's perfectly fine even when I'm not home for a year."

"...Is this how you educate children?" Bai Jie felt that whoever married Fu Hua would be in trouble. She had no idea how to raise children and wasted her 50,000 years of life experience.

"Bai Jie, are you thinking about something rude?"

"No."

"Really?"

"Really." Bai Jie's survival instincts were extremely strong. "Speaking of which, a truck just drove by over there. Could it be that your apprentice is there—"

Bai Jie didn't finish his sentence because he sensed a very familiar aura coming from the direction the truck had just passed—an aura he would never mistake!

"Fu Hua, chase after them! There's something wrong with that car!"

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

On the road, the truck where Cecilia and her two companions were originally located had overturned, and Cecilia, Cheng Lixue, and Patrick had also left the vehicle due to the overturn.

Of course, all three knew it couldn't have been an accidental rollover. If they had to ask why, the culprit was standing right in front of them.

Holding the box he had just acquired, which was being treated as a [Herrscher Slayer], Welt Yang frowned and then crushed it into pieces with a sudden burst of force.

"Empty? Is this another false report from Otto?"

"Was it a wasted trip?" Einstein asked.

"Stop your babbling! Behave yourself!"

Retrieving his turret from the imaginary space, Patrick aimed at Walter Young and unleashed a barrage of machine gun fire, a torrential downpour of bullets pouring out in an instant.

Om-!

The deep blue Star of Eden appeared in Walter Yang's hand, and the gravitational wave it released froze all the enemies in mid-air without fail.

"Shh-!"

The sound of wind breaking rang out behind her. Cheng Lixue had somehow appeared behind Yang, but before she could launch an attack, the gravity suppression of Eden Star had already locked onto her and bound her.

With a slight pout, Cheng Lixue said, "Your chance has come, Miss!"

Walter Young can handle both himself and Patrick at the same time, Cheng Lixue admits that this is indeed very strong, but he can't possibly immobilize Cecilia!

Wielding a spear powered by Honkai energy, Cecilia streaked across space like a bolt of lightning, the spear instantly transforming into a sky full of spear shadows that enveloped Yang's location.

Seemingly realizing the difference between Cecilia and Cheng Lixue and Patrick, Yang's gaze became slightly more focused, and Eden's Star lit up again, with gravitational waves erupting like a torrent.

boom--!

A deafening explosion rang out in mid-air, and the resulting gust of wind blew Cecilia, Cheng Lixue, and Patrick away to one side.

"Are you alright, Lixue?"

Just as Cheng Lixue was bracing herself for the shock, a hand suddenly caught her, and then she heard the voice of the person she respected most.

"Master?!" Cheng Lixue looked at Fu Hua, who had appeared behind her, in disbelief. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in Shenzhou?"

"I rushed over because I thought something might happen to you, thankfully we arrived in time," Fu Hua said with a smile. "Bai Jie, now it's up to you—"

Fu Hua, who was about to say something, froze, because in her field of vision, Bai Jie was looking at Welt Yang with a gloomy expression, holding the Star of Eden of the same color in his palm.

P.S.: End of five-chapter update... Damn, it's been so long since I've done five-chapter updates, I'm exhausted! I'm really not used to it yet, but I should be fully used to it by tomorrow or the day after. Today is the first day, please let me keep it a bit short and filler.

P.S.: SilverAsh and Hoshiguma have been released in quick succession, and two of the three god-tier characters from the launch have arrived. So the question is, when will Exusiai come to my Rhodes Island?

P.S.: Please recommend, vote with monthly tickets, give a reward, and subscribe!

Section 140, paragraph 4. Einstein: It's time to find Dr. Tesla a partner.

To be honest, Bai Jie is a bit of a mess right now because he really didn't expect to run into Cecilia here.

(Fu Hua, you've tricked your master again! You said you were only here to save your disciple!)

Bai Jie originally only planned to have Xilin escape using spatial teleportation after Fu Hua rescued her apprentice, but he never expected that Fu Hua's apprentice would actually be on a mission with Cecilia!

This is quite awkward, okay? According to Bai Jie's plan, he intended to stay around the world and slack off before the Second Honkai Impact arrived, and take some time to see Cecilia, preferably before Cecilia and Siegfried met.
