Episode 154: Hello, Christmas Eve!!
『 The Doctor listened to this, grinning broadly and heartily.
"Hello, I'm the Doctor."
After saying this, ...
The Doctor quickly ran to the other side.
"See? We've never stopped, have we?"
"Always traveling through the universe."
"Constantly rushing around." ...
"Maybe one day, we'll have to hop on one leg."
"Do you remember?"
"The kind where you jump and run."
The Doctor laughed as he spoke, hopping on one leg in place.
"Isn't it? Hopping and jumping."
"Remember that time we escaped on one leg?"
"Constantly jumping and jumping." 』

[ Shinomiya Kaguya (Love Is War): "This new Doctor seems so lively." ]
[ Seven (Scissor Seven): "Is this how it is, just by changing his appearance?" ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "He's become younger, so his actions are also like a young person's?" ]
[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "What if he gets old? Will he become more composed then?" ]
[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "Die again, Doctor. Let me see what's different about the new you." ]
[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "That's a shame. I feel younger and more handsome than before now." ]
[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "Perhaps, perhaps there won't be a next time." ]
[ Wang Ling (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "What do you mean, 'there won't be a next time'?" ]
[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "Nothing." ]

『 In the screen,
"It's just..." The Doctor, still hopping, suddenly noticed Rose's face, still clouded with worry as usual.
"Did you... forget everything?"
Not long after, a heavy-hearted Rose finally spoke to the Doctor.
"Can you... Can you change back to your old self?"
"You want me to change back?" The Doctor asked Rose indifferently.
"Yes." Rose nodded gently.
"Oh."
Rose, with a glimmer of hope, pressed on, "Can you?"
"No." The Doctor immediately dismissed the idea.
After saying that, the Doctor threw another question at Rose: "Then do you want to leave?"
"Are you trying to kick me out?" Rose retorted.
"How could I?" The Doctor quickly clarified, "However..."
"If your mind is made up, if you want to go home."
"Then we won't go to Barcelona."
The Doctor glanced at Rose, then canceled the program for the flight to Barcelona.
Instead, he set a new destination.
A place familiar to Rose's heart.
"Target locked..."
"London, Powell Estate."
"Let's set the time for December 24th, midnight?"
"Consider it my Christmas gift to you."
"Alright, we'll be home soon."
After everything was settled, the Doctor stood aside with his arms crossed, watching Rose.
As the TARDIS sped through the screen, Rose's mood plummeted, utterly miserable.
She widened her eyes, staring at the Doctor in disbelief.
"Am I going home now?"
The Doctor said helplessly, "It's all up to you. Go back to your mum's."
"I'm sure everyone's eagerly awaiting you."
"Fish and chips, mashed potatoes, beans on toast."
"Oh, wait, it's Christmas now, there should be roast turkey too."
"But, knowing our mum,"
"A nut roast would already be pretty good."
Hearing the Doctor's words, Rose Tyler couldn't help but crack a smile.
Seeing this, the Doctor quickly chimed in:
"Hey, you smiled."
"No, I didn't." Rose vehemently denied.
"You were smiling."
"No, I wasn't," Rose argued again.
"You really smiled, I saw it."
"I really didn't," Rose said, smiling as she spoke.
But this time, the Doctor began to plead again:
"Please, I'm begging you. I've only changed my appearance, it's not like..."
Before he could finish, the Doctor's face twisted in a violent spasm of pain.
The TARDIS also began to tremble.
Rose also noticed the sudden anomaly.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I said..." The Doctor had barely started speaking when the TARDIS lurched violently.
Seeing the Doctor in this state, Rose couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Are you alright?"
The Doctor said nothing, just stood there and took a deep breath.
But what he exhaled was a golden ball of energy.
"What is that?" Although Rose didn't recognize it, she felt in her heart that it was very strange.
After recovering slightly, the Doctor explained to Rose:
"My regeneration process this time is indeed a bit off."
Before he finished speaking, pain struck again, drowning out his words.
"I think we need to go back," Rose said anxiously, "to Captain Jack. He'll know what to do."
"No, no, Jack's busy now." The Doctor said, enduring the pain, "He has a lot of things to do, busy rebuilding Earth and all that."
At this moment, the Doctor's gaze was drawn to something below the control panel.
"Oh, I haven't touched this thing in ages."
Saying this, the Doctor reached out and fiddled with the newly discovered lever.
Suddenly,
The TARDIS shook violently, like an earthquake.
The two almost lost their footing, stumbling onto the control panel.
"What are you playing at?!" Rose asked, bewildered.
But the Doctor seemed to be getting more and more excited.
"Accelerate! Accelerate again! Yes, just like that!"
"My darling spaceship."
"Faster, good girl!"
"Keep accelerating! Shall we try to break the limits of time!"
He casually twisted another button.
At this point, Rose was a little scared and shouted, "Stop!"
The Doctor was still in his excitement and didn't stop.
"Don't be so boring, let's find some excitement together!"
"We'll tear this time vortex to shreds!"
After the excitement, the Doctor painfully told Rose:
"Something seems to have gone wrong with my regeneration this time."
"I feel like I can't quite control myself."
"Ouch! My head!" The Doctor clutched his head in pain.
But suddenly, the Doctor became excited again.
"Faster! Full speed ahead!"
Suddenly, a strange bell sound rang out in the TARDIS.
Rose quickly asked:
"What's that sound?"
"Hehe, we're going to crash! Hahaha!" The Doctor laughed happily.
"Do something!" Rose urged anxiously.
"It's too late, the TARDIS is completely out of control!"
"I love this feeling so much!"
"You're going to kill us both!" Rose yelled angrily.
Just at this critical moment, the Doctor suddenly said in a deep voice:
"Alright, hold on tight, here we come."
"Hello, Christmas Eve."
The scene gradually disappeared as the TARDIS sped through the time tunnel. 』

/Livestream begins:
『 Dozens of hideously strong men flashed past, arriving in the distance. A man in a hooded long shirt marked with "七(7)" was looking at the towering building below.
At this moment, Seven reached into his pocket and pulled out a photo.
He stared at the strong man in the photo, then forcefully tore the photo to shreds.
The fragments drifted like snowflakes, scattering across the sky.
Seven soared into the air, exuding a menacing killing intent. His face was like still water, and his palm rested on the hilt of his sword. With a sound of shattering glass, he violently broke into the interior of the building.
He knelt on the ground, his eyes gleaming with cold light, coldly scanning the crowd in the lobby. His figure was like a ghost, quickly weaving through the crowd, pressing closer and closer.
Silver sword light flashed, and with every swing, someone would fall, losing their life to the blade!
Facing the endless obstacles from the crowd, Seven handled them with ease, striking one down after another without mercy.
In the terrified eyes of the person on the throne, a silver sword pierced through the back of the chair, and then, the two men standing beside him also fell to the ground, lifeless. 』

[ Conan Edogawa (Detective Conan): "???" ]
[ Conan Edogawa (Detective Conan): "What does he mean? How can he just kill people?" ]
[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "His identity seems a bit unusual." ]
[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "This time, it's an assassin?" ]
[ Seven (Scissor Seven): "No, I'm an assassin." ]
[ Everyone: ??? ]
[ .....]
『 Then, the scene changed.
In a smoke-filled office.
"Truly worthy of the title, the world's number one assassin."
A deep voice sounded.
It was a plump guy wearing sunglasses and chewing on a cigar, speaking in a flat tone.
"Take this one hundred million."
On the table in front of him was a briefcase filled with one hundred million in cash.
Seven didn't respond, just coldly stared at the client in front of him, his hand slowly tightening around the hilt of his blade. As a flash of silver light streaked by, the wooden table and the client were both split in half.
"Sorry, someone offered a higher price for me to take care of you."
After the client was cut in two by that strike, Seven turned and walked out expressionlessly.
"Hahaha, hehehe!"
Seven bared his sharp teeth, laughing wildly, then...
The scene returned to Seven, crouching on the ground.
"We're rich!"
"We're rich!"
At this moment, Dai Bo and Seven were immersed in beautiful fantasies, laughing out loud. 』

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "This, this is an assassin? An assassin lost in fantasy." ]
[ King Hassan (Type-moon): "...." ]
[ Conan Edogawa (Detective Conan): "That was a fantasy before, so it's fine then." ]

『 "Boss, a bowl of beef offal!" ...
Before Dai Bo could respond, the nearby elementary school student shouted first.
"Coming right up, want it spicy?"
Seven bounced to the stall, busily asking.
"Less beef lung, more beef tripe!" The elementary school student replied directly.
The scissors on the beef offal stall trembled slightly, then flew into the air.
The scissors spun nimbly in Seven's hands, moving back and forth.
His net quickly scooped up the beef offal, the scissors glinting silver in the air. In a few flashes, piles of beef offal accurately landed in the bowl. In the blink of an eye, the bowl of beef offal actually emitted a golden glow.
"Oh! Doing all these fancy tricks, but in the end, it's just an ordinary bowl of beef offal!"
The elementary school student spoke with an air of disdain.
"You should go home and chew on beef bones!"
No sooner said than done, Dai Bo headbutted the elementary school student, sending him flying.
Dai Bo paused in mid-air, then leaped onto the roof of the beef offal stall.
"Ah Qi, stop selling beef offal!"
(Ah Qi is the Nickname of seven.)
"Let's be assassins!"
"High salary! Excellent benefits! Flexible working hours! Year-end bonuses and overseas trips!"
"Where else can you find such a great job!"
Dai Bo flapped his wings in the air, talking nonstop to Seven.
"You said that before when we were selling beef offal too!"
Seven shot out from behind the beef offal stall.
At this, Dai Bo immediately turned around.
"Aren't you curious about your past?"
Dai Bo slowly turned back, asking this question.
"Is my origin related to assassins?"
Seven asked seriously in return.
"How could it be?" ...
"However, once we've earned enough money,"
"I'll take you to the Stan Country."
"Curing your amnesia will be no problem at all."
Dai Bo weighed a gold coin in his hand, his eyes sharply examining it.
"How much do we need to earn then?"
Seven climbed onto the beef offal stall, asking with a bewildered expression.
Dai Bo casually tossed the coin, his voice a little hoarse as he said:
"One million!"
"Assassins, this is the oldest profession in the world. As long as there are people, there will be hatred."
"Where there is hatred, there are naturally assassins. Assassins are roughly divided into two types."
"One type is government-employed, organized and disciplined, working full-time."
"Some countries call them agents. The other type is self-sufficient, rogue assassins."
"Mostly folk experts, the top ten are all incredibly powerful."
"They charge high fees and never fail. Of course, the assassin business must be kept secret."
"You need a legitimate profession as a cover! To hide your identity! Boss, another beer!"
Dai Bo and Seven were sitting at a roadside stall.
Seven quietly drank his soda, listening to Dai Bo's unhurried explanation.
"But I only know how to use scissors! How to be an assassin, who knows!"
Seven drank his soda, his scissors constantly gesturing in his hand.
Upon hearing this, Dai Bo leaped onto the table, shaking the bowls, plates, and wine bottles to the ground with a clatter.
"Throw away the soda!"
Dai Bo pointed at the soda in Seven's hand.
Seven was obedient, his hand loosened,
The soda exploded with a "bang." 』
