On how PhDs become human evil

However, wanting to see Cecilia does not mean that Bai Jie is willing to have an unexpected encounter with Cecilia. His expected situation is that after secretly observing Cecilia for a period of time, he would pretend to be a stranger who happens to meet her and recognize her.

(This is troublesome... What should we do in this situation?)

Bai Jie looked down at Walter and Einstein with some distress. It wasn't that he didn't know the two; in fact, Bai Jie had a good relationship with Einstein. Although one was at Schicksal and the other at Anti-Entropy, they often had research exchanges.

Bai Jie had never met Walter directly, but because of Otto's presence, he knew quite a bit about this leader of Anti-Entropy.

Originally, Bai Jie intended to make contact with both of them in the future, but now, this whole mess has turned into a complete disaster!

"Fu Hua, you've tricked me again."

Hearing Bai Jie say that, Fu Hua frowned: "How did I trick you again? Words are not enough, show me the evidence."

"Let me put it another way. I suspect you're trying to frame me, but I have no proof." As he said this, Bai Jie took out the Lost Driver from behind his back, and a black memory appeared in his hand. "Well, didn't you want to save your apprentice? Then hurry up and take your apprentice and leave."

"it is good."

Fu Hua had barely finished speaking when she slipped away with Cheng Lixue, Patrick, and Cecilia. According to Bai Jie's observation, the three of them were dragged away by Fu Hua.

The evidence is the three marks left on the ground.

"Alright, can you play with me for a while?" Bai Jie said with a smile to Walter Yang, "Although I don't think we need to fight."

"I feel the same way. I've achieved my goal, and if I could, I wouldn't want to fight."

Walter's answer surprised Bai Jie. He had thought Walter had come here to intercept Cecilia and the others, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

Of course, Bai Jie would not let his guard down because of this. No one is without suspicion of the unknown. Even if Einstein and Bai Jie had a good relationship in the future, at this moment they were still strangers.

“Dr. Einstein, may I ask you a question?” Bai Jie suddenly asked. “What stage is Dr. Tesla’s list of forbidden science books at? I mean the list that includes ‘Looking for something, bro.’”

"Regarding this—"

Einstein was about to answer instinctively when his brain realized a very important question.

(Why...why would he know about Dr. Tesla?)

As someone who worked with Tesla for centuries, Einstein knew almost everything about Tesla's interpersonal relationships. To put it bluntly, Dr. Tesla could not possibly have had any close male friends.

Therefore, Einstein was extremely shocked that Bai Jie knew about the Science Forbidden Books Index, which was Dr. Tesla's biggest secret!

“Before that, I think you should explain why you know about the Science Inhibited List. As a friend, I really don’t believe Dr. Tesla would tell a man this.”

"Ah, this... You got Tesla drunk at a scientific conference and got it out of her mouth. I happened to be there and overheard it."

Bai Jie still remembers that it was in the winter of 2008. As a rising star in the scientific community, he was invited to participate in a scientific exchange meeting. At that meeting, he met Einstein and Tesla for the first time. At that time, Einstein was maliciously trying to get Tesla drunk. Tesla, who was drunk, kept talking about all sorts of things, including the so-called Catalogue of Banned Scientific Books.

Of course, this happened in 2008, and it's only 1991 now.

"Oh right, I forgot to mention that I am from more than 30 years in the future. I came back to the present to deal with a certain historical change. I believe that with the technology of anti-entropy, time travel has already been theoretically completed."

Upon hearing Bai Jie's words, Walter and Einstein's eyes immediately showed not distrust, but rather skepticism.

As Bai Jie said, Anti-Entropy has already theoretically completed the concept of time travel. All that remains is to continuously improve and develop the equipment. Therefore, if people from the future really come to this era, it is not unacceptable to them.

However, their acceptance of the existence of future people does not mean they can trust the future people in the present.

"What evidence do you have to prove you're from the future?" Walter asked. "Don't you think it's a bit far-fetched to expect us to believe you're from the future based solely on your word?"

"As for evidence... what kind of evidence do you want? To be honest, I can't think of any evidence to prove that I am from the future. Even if I talk about things that will happen in the future, those are all things in the future, and they are not very credible to you."

"It's very simple. You just need to describe how Dr. Tesla reacted after I got her drunk," Einstein said. "Dr. Tesla has never been drunk in public. Only I and a handful of other people know about her behavior when she was drunk. If you can tell me, then it means you really are from the future."

"Oh, I remember he was talking complete nonsense, and he even switched to using the 'I' persona. Speaking of which, Dr. Tesla also seemed to believe in alchemy, calling the welding torch a 'sword of fire'—"

"Alright, that's enough. I believe you're from the future." Einstein promptly interrupted Bai Jie's attempt to expose Tesla's dark history. "Also, let me ask a trivial question: what is your relationship with Dr. Tesla?"

Einstein: Finding a man for a friend

After thinking for a moment, Bai Jie said, "I guess you could call us research partners. Of course, basically it's either me dumping the troublesome things on her or her dumping the troublesome things on me."

"very good."

Einstein nodded, then wondered if he should contact a certain red-haired man later.

Meanwhile, watching Einstein and Bai Jie inexplicably reach some consensus, Walter Young suddenly felt like he was a bit superfluous.

P.S.: Update

P.S.: Not feeling well... I woke up this morning with a stiff neck, and it's been hurting all day. I feel like I've been in really bad shape ever since I came back from my trip, and today is probably going to be another terrible day. Hope you all forgive me.

P.S.: I'm thinking of writing a summer event side story.

Section 141.5. Doctor: Let me be a filial son again.

"Boom boom boom!"

Amidst a series of loud knocks, Siegfried, who was sleeping in his little house, rubbed his eyes and woke up in bed, walking barefoot to the door.

"Who is it? So early in the morning—whoa!"

Before Siegfried could finish speaking, the door was forcibly pushed open from the outside, and the door panel slammed directly into his face, causing him to almost scream in pain!

Just as Siegfried was annoyed about who had ambushed him, what he saw stunned him.

A strikingly beautiful woman with gray hair stood at the doorway, carrying a white-haired girl on her back and holding a girl in each hand.

The people who arrived were Fu Hua, Cheng Lixue, Cecilia, and Patrick.

Upon seeing Siegfried enter the house, Fu Hua said, "Excuse me, there are some injured people here. May we have a place to stay?"

"Sure, sure! Of course, no problem!"

Since it was a beautiful woman's request, Siegfried naturally agreed without hesitation.

The room was very small, filled with all sorts of trash and clutter. The only place to sit was a bed and a chair.

If possible, Fu Hua would like to find a better place for Cheng Lixue and the others to stay, but due to the emergency, they can only make do with this dilapidated house.

After placing the injured Cheng Lixue and Patrick on the bed, Fu Hua looked at Cecilia and asked, "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"It wasn't there originally, but you dragged me all the way here... my arm is a little scratched."

Looking at the scratches on Cecilia's arm, Fu Hua smiled awkwardly. Because of the urgency of the situation, she had used some rough methods to drag the three people over like sacks, so some scratches were inevitable.

"Excuse me, do you have bandages and disinfectant here? I'd like to treat her wound," Fu Hua asked Siegfried.

"Yes, yes, yes, I remember it should be here... I found it!"

After rummaging through the drawers of the table next to the chair, Siegfried took out a home medical kit and placed it in front of Fu Hua.

"Judging from your uniforms... you must be from Schicksal. Is Schicksal still sending such young girls to the battlefield?"

"Judging from your tone, you seem to be very familiar with destiny."

Wiping his nose, Siegfried gave a wry smile: "Well, even though I live in a place like this now, I'm still a member of the Kaslana family. By the way, my name is Siegfried Kaslana."

Siegfried Kaslana.

Fu Hua had heard this name from Bai Jie, who was said to be Bai Jie's future adoptive father. However, he betrayed his family and was eventually beaten half to death by Bai Jie during the Third Honkai Impact.

(Is he Bai Jie's future adoptive father? The man Bai Jie wishes he could tear to pieces?)

To be honest, Fu Hua's first impression of Qi Gefei was alright. She let four strangers into the room just because there were wounded people there. Although she was extravagant in her speech and behavior, one could still see some of the Kaslana family's influence.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, most of the newspapers posted in the room are related to Honkai, such as where Honkai beasts have appeared or where people have been infected with Honkai. It can be seen that even though he is on the sidelines, he is still fighting against Honkai in his own way.

Although the results must have been quite devastating.

(I really don't know why Bai Jie hates his future self so much.)

Thinking this, Fu Hua sighed slightly and began to treat Cecilia's wounds.

"Beep beep!"

Fu Hua had just finished bandaging Cecilia when Bai Jie's personal terminal rang.

Fu Hua, where have you gone? I can't find you anywhere!

"I'm currently at a kind family's house. Would you like to come over?"

Tell me the address, I'll fly there.

"The place where we just fought is all the way west. At my speed, it only takes me a minute to get there."

"How am I supposed to know how fast you are? Are you kidding me?" Bai Jie said irritably. "Fine, I'll calculate where you are. I'll be right there. Take good care of her until then."

Although Bai Jie didn't say it explicitly, Fu Hua probably finally realized who he wanted her to take care of.

After hanging up the phone, Fu Hua said, "Sorry, Siegfried, a friend of mine is coming over later. I'm sorry to bother you."

"No, no, I usually live alone. It's more lively with more people around," Siegfried laughed.

However, this is a lie!

Actually, Siegfried was thinking this: "Birds of a feather flock together, and four beautiful women's friends must be beautiful women too! Meeting five beautiful women all at once... could it be that my spring is finally here?"

Siegfried is a notoriously flirtatious man, a trait that didn't change even after he matured; in fact, it only intensified. In Bai Jie's original timeline, Siegfried frequently used his mature, older man persona to seduce young girls, though each time he was caught red-handed by Cecilia and sent home to kneel on a washboard.

While Siegfried, still a boy, is not as dashing as he will be in the future, he is already showing some signs of it.

Therefore, there was a reason why Bai Jie wanted to beat up Siegfried.

One and a half minutes after Bai Jie finished his phone call with Fu Hua—

"Boom--!"

The door was violently torn apart by the strong wind, and Bai Jie, who rushed over in a hurry, flew in through the door on the wind. However, he was stunned when Yi Fei entered the room.

why?

Because he saw Siegfried.

"You are... Siegfried Kaslana?"

"Um...you're a friend of these ladies?"

To be honest, Siegfried was extremely disappointed. He had expected a beautiful woman to arrive, but instead, a rough-looking man showed up. What's so great about a man? Give her the lady instead!

Looking at the obvious disappointment in Siegfried's eyes, Bai Jie knew with his toes what the bastard was thinking. His future self liked to eat peaches, but he didn't expect that his present self also liked to eat peaches!

"Snapped--!"
