Chapter 135 - ICISEI Episode 135

Episode 135: Hello, I am the Doctor, the Time Lord of the Last Time.

『 The scene shifts.

Just as Rose picked up the scattered nails from the ground, full of confusion, the cat flap was suddenly pushed open from the outside by a force.

Rose was startled by this sudden turn of events.

She couldn't help but recall the series of terrifying experiences from last night.

A secret anxiety welled up in her heart. Had that terrifying plastic man finally come for her?

Thinking this, Rose slowly approached the cat flap by the door.

She cautiously pushed open the cat flap.

Suddenly!

A man's face emerged from the other end of the cat flap. 』

[ Gabriel (Gabriel DropOut): "Oh my god, you scared the living daylights out of me!" ]

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Isn't that the Doctor from yesterday?" ]

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Although I know he's a Doctor, I still don't know his name." ]

[ Hikigaya Hachiman (Oregairu): "I have a feeling his name is 'Doctor'." ]

[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "Thankfully, he's still alive and didn't get blown up by the explosion." ]

[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "The Doctor doesn't die so easily." ]

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "How do you know? Wait, your name?" ]

[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "Alright, this person is me, but also not me." ]

[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "What do you mean by that?" ]

[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "Literally." ]

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "A strange guy, with the number 11 as a suffix to his name." ]

[ .....]

『 The moment Rose saw the man,

She immediately stood up and opened the main door.

"How are you here?"

"Because I live here."

"Why do you live here?"

"Because this is my home."

After a bizarre conversation, the Doctor outside the door pulled out a strange-looking object.

Its name was clearly marked below the item:

" Sonic Screwdriver " . 』

[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "Sonic Screwdriver, what a strange name for a tool..." ]

[ Hikigaya Hachiman (Oregairu): "That conversation was as useless as not saying anything at all." ]

[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "That conversation was strangely funny, hahahaha!" ]

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): (Himouto):: "+ 1+ 1+ 1" ]

[ .....]

『 In the scene, the Doctor then gave a detailed explanation to everyone.

"I followed a plastic hand's signal all the way here."

"But what I didn't expect was that this would be your house?"

He really hadn't expected this to be Rose's home.

He didn't question it much, only thinking that his Sonic Screwdriver might have had a slight error.

After gently tapping Rose on the forehead,

The Doctor prepared to leave and continue tracking the plastic man.

Just as he was about to say goodbye,

Rose, full of questions, wouldn't let him leave so easily.

She pulled the Doctor into her house.

She had a ton of questions and wanted to ask the Doctor for a clear explanation.

But she didn't want her mother to worry about her, so she lied to her mother, saying that the Doctor was sent by the company to discuss compensation.

Her mother, upon hearing this, was about to tell her daughter to ask for more money from this man,

But as soon as she saw how handsome the Doctor was, she immediately changed her mind.

She stood up with a smile,

And slowly approached the Doctor.

Anyway, who cares who pays the compensation?

Might as well enjoy his company now.

"There's a strange man in my bedroom," Rose's mother said, looking at the Doctor with seductive eyes.

"Yes, there is indeed a strange man in your bedroom," the Doctor replied, "sincerely."

"Anything... is possible," Rose's mother continued.

She stared intently at the Doctor's muscular physique.

"No way (NO)," the Doctor flatly refused, turning and walking towards Rose.

Leaving Rose's mother alone, pouting, showing her displeasure. 』

『 .....』

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

Everyone felt a wave of speechlessness at the sight of Rose's mother.

.....

『 On the other side, while Rose was still busy making coffee,

The Doctor was rummaging around her living room, seemingly out of curiosity, or perhaps looking for some treasure.

Watching the Doctor, who couldn't stay still for a moment,

Rose didn't say much and continued to focus on making her coffee.

But at this critical moment,

The Doctor suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the sofa.

He leaned in to take a closer look,

Unexpectedly, a plastic hand suddenly grabbed him tightly by the throat. 』

『 .....』

〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "??? What's going on? Wasn't this plastic hand thrown away?" ]

[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "I know! The Doctor must be playing a prank or something?!" ]

[ Shinomiya Kaguya (Love Is War): "But, it doesn't seem like a prank. It looks like he's really being choked." ]

[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "This thing can move, could it have crawled back by itself?" ]

[ Conan Edogawa (Detective Conan): "No, it can't be a ghost, right?" ]

[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "Impossible, you have to believe in Conanian science." ]

[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "But, before..." ]

[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "Those were special worlds. I see that the world on the screen doesn't have such things, so it should also be a normal Conanian science world." ]

[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "Mhm, you're absolutely right, but it's science, not Conanian science you speak of." ]

[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan):: "??" ]

[ .....]

『 On the screen, the choked doctor struggled to call for Rose's help.

But Rose merely glanced over and continued to prepare her coffee as if nothing was wrong.

At this point, Rose still thought it was just one of the Doctor's little pranks.

Until the plastic hand suddenly changed its target.

When the attack landed on Rose, she finally believed it was real.

But by then, she was unable to speak.

Fortunately, the Doctor managed to free his hand.

He rushed forward and saved Rose with his Sonic Screwdriver.

Witnessing this scene, Rose was full of questions, utterly confused.

She desperately wanted to know what was going on.

However, the Doctor in front of her was just flustered.

He led Rose out of the house and onto the street, muttering something incessantly.

Finally, seeing Rose's incessant questioning,

He could only start telling the story as they walked.

It turns out,

These plastic people came here to launch an invasion.

They planned to completely wipe out humanity and occupy the entire Earth.

It was such a simple little plan.

But this matter had nothing to do with Rose, an ordinary girl.

The Doctor had his own way of solving this crisis.

But Rose was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

These hateful plastic people had been bothering her again and again,

How could it still be unrelated to her?

Facing Rose's questioning, the Doctor calmly explained,

"All of this was just an accident. Actually, the person these plastic people are really after is me. And you, Rose, just happened to be at the scene of the chase."

"Please don't think of yourself as too important, as if the whole world revolves around you."

Upon hearing these words, Rose was instantly speechless at the Doctor's arrogant attitude. 』

『 .....』

〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "This person called the Doctor is really arrogant." ]

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Saying the world revolves around him or something, how is that even possible?" ]

[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "What exactly is the Doctor's name? Why does he insist on calling himself the Doctor? Is there something special about it?" ]

[ Kiyotaka Ayanokouji (Classroom of the Elite): A strange person. ]

[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "My name is the Doctor." ]

[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "My true name is the Doctor." ]

[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "There are really people in this world who are directly called 'Doctor'." ]

[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "Yes, I am a Time Lord, the Doctor." ]

[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "Time Lord?" ]

[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "Alright, don't worry about me, just keep watching. This is the beginning of a good journey." ]

[ .....]

『 On the screen, despite being utterly speechless at the guy in front of her,

At the same time, she was growing more and more curious about the situation.

What kind of person was this man named the Doctor?

Why was he called the Doctor?

However,

For the Doctor, his story was too complex.

It was best to avoid involving ordinary people in these matters.

Therefore, the Doctor told Rose at this moment:

His existence was like ours as children,

The incredible feeling of first discovering that the world was truly spinning.

Everything seemed still, so how could it be spinning?

However, the Doctor in front of her was different.

He could feel all of it.

As he spoke, the Doctor grabbed Rose's hand and held it tightly.

"This land beneath our feet,"

"Is rotating at a thousand six hundred kilometers per hour,"

"The entire Earth revolves around the sun,"

"Rushing at a hundred and ten thousand kilometers per hour,"

"I can clearly feel that we are traveling through the universe,"

"You and I..."

"They are merely clinging to the edge of this tiny world."

"But if we let go,"

After speaking, the Doctor released Rose's hand.

He looked at her seriously and said, "This is me."

"Alright, now forget about me, Rose Tyler."

Subsequently.

The Doctor, holding the plastic man's severed arm, bid farewell to Rose Tyler.

"Goodbye."

With that, the Doctor walked away into the distance without looking back.

The Doctor said nothing more at this point.

Rose just watched him walk into a small gazebo under a large tree.

It was a blue police box.

And Rose tried to do as he said, trying hard to forget these strange things.

But she hadn't walked far,

When a strange rumbling sound echoed behind her, like a car engine whose handbrake had been forgotten.

Rose, full of doubt, turned to look, trying to find where the sound was coming from.

Finally, her gaze fell in the direction the Doctor had just left.

When she rushed back to look,

The blue police box that the Doctor had entered earlier had vanished without a trace. 』

『 .....』

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "?? Why did it suddenly disappear?" ]

[ .....]

『 Rose vaguely felt that this matter was probably not that simple.

She couldn't just let it go and pretend nothing happened.

Back home, Rose used the all-knowing search engine,

To find information about the man who called himself "the Doctor."

In the process, Rose discovered that an old man was also investigating the Doctor,

And the person in a photo provided by the old man,

It was precisely the mysterious Doctor who had left earlier.

Driven by her curiosity, Rose decided to go find this old man to learn more about the situation.

How could Mickey, her boyfriend, feel at ease letting Rose go to a stranger's house alone?

After understanding the situation, he volunteered to accompany Rose.

Upon arriving, Mickey waited by the door, bored.

While waiting, his attention was drawn to a self-moving trash can.

Driven by curiosity, Mickey got out of the car, approached the trash can, and opened the lid to look inside.

It was just a few pieces of cardboard, almost empty.

Just as he was about to turn and leave...

He found his hand stuck to the trash can.

He pulled hard, but the plastic lid of the trash can stretched longer and longer, and he couldn't get rid of it.

Finally, the trash can suddenly flung him into the air,

Then, with a "gulp," it swallowed him whole. 』

『 .....』

〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜

[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "Huh? Swallowed by a trash can???" ]

[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "Holy moly, that almost scared the living daylights out of me?!" ]

[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "Ahem, I mean that's a bit scary, suddenly swallowing people and all." ]

[ .....]

『 On the other hand...

Rose at home was still unaware of what had happened to her boyfriend.

She was curled up in her room, going through some materials about the Doctor.

During their conversation, she learned something.

The old man in front of her had discovered a strange phenomenon:

At different important moments in history, a man named the Doctor would always appear.

"For example, at the scene of a convertible enthusiast's wild imagination."

"In a group photo before the Titanic set sail."

"On the night of the Krakatoa volcanic eruption."

"For example, in a bizarre scene depicted by a fervent convertible enthusiast, the Doctor's figure faintly appeared; in a precious group photo before the Titanic set sail, he was also captured for a moment; even on the night of the Krakatoa volcanic eruption, his traces were found."

The man's tone was grave as he continued to elaborate on his views.

"I believe that these Doctors are actually the same person being discovered at different points in time."

"He spans across history, and whenever our world faces disaster, he descends upon it."

"It seems as if he's observing us humans."

"I believe this person must be an alien from another world."

Although the man's speculation seemed bizarre, Rose couldn't help but fall into deep thought. 』

『 .....』

〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜

[ Yukinoshita Yukino (Oregairu): "Can one person really appear in so many places at once?" ]

[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "Not only has he traveled through space, but he also seems to have appeared at different times." ]

[ Miyamizu Mitsuha (Your Name): "So, he can travel through time? That sounds amazing!" ]

[ Anya Forger (SpyxFamily): "Waku waku!!" ]

[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "Didn't that mysterious Doctor call himself a Time Lord earlier?" ]

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "So, you really have the magical ability to travel through time?" ]

[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "Yes..." ]

[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "This is my journey." ]

[ .....]

『 Although the old man's words seemed reasonable, she still felt that he was a bit too mystical.

Who could truly travel through time and appear everywhere?

Coming here was simply a waste of her precious time.

After saying goodbye to the old man...

Rose returned to the car, intending to complain to her boyfriend Mickey about what had just happened.

But she didn't notice any change at all,

Her boyfriend, Mickey, seemed a little different from before. 』

『 .....』

〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜

[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "Wait, wasn't he swallowed? How did he suddenly reappear?" ]

[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "No, his appearance is a bit too refined, as if he's not a real person." ]

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "It's like, a new plastic mannequin." ]

[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "Plastic mannequin? But he clearly looks human?" ]

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Perhaps, he was painted to look like a human?" ]

[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "How scary." ]

[ .....]

『 Because the previous Mickey had been swapped,

And the Mickey currently sitting in the car had already become a brand new plastic mannequin.

The scene shifts.

Rose led her boyfriend, "Mickey," into a restaurant.

The young couple sat at a table, casually chatting about everyday matters.

But Rose felt it was strange that Mickey kept changing the subject during their conversation,

Seeming particularly curious about the Doctor.

"You have to believe me."

"Baby, dear, sweetheart."

Mickey said inexplicably, grinning.

At this moment, Rose also sensed that something was wrong.

She was anxious to ask Mickey what was wrong with him, why he had suddenly become so strange.

And Mickey kept pressing for the Doctor's whereabouts.

The waiter next to them was also particularly clueless,

Interrupting their conversation several times.

"Excuse me, who ordered this bottle of champagne?" 』
