"They studied Honkai energy but didn't have the technology, and instead caused a large number of casualties. Of course they should be punished." Ryan touched his shirt pocket, took out his glasses and put them on, and asked calmly: "Killing some people to avoid greater disasters, isn't this good?"
After putting away his rifle and putting on his glasses, Ryan changed completely. He ignored the bodies in the yard and was just like those nerds in the academy.
Himiko was also stunned for a moment, and she couldn't quite figure out the young man in front of her, so she put on a smile again and stretched out her hand, saying, "How about you write me a report on what happened tonight?"
"Just wait, it's just a trivial small collapse. Besides, I'm not an official member of the Fire Moth. It's good enough that I didn't ask you for the bounty." Ryan snorted unhappily, glanced at his body to see that there was no blood stain, and simply picked up the cloth bag.
"What are you going to do afterward?"
Himiko folded her arms and looked at the dilapidated apartment building. "As usual, it was a gas explosion. I'll have Team B pretend to be from the gas company to seal off the scene. Once the Houkai energy is cleaned up, everything will be fine."
Sure enough, professional.
Ryan smiled silently. As an organization dedicated to fighting against Honkai, the Fire Moth naturally had a set of rigorous procedures, ranging from gas explosions, mass hypnosis to chemical accidents, and even a special online water army department, so he liked to work with professionals.
Well, the longer the peace lasts, the better.
"Then I'll leave these things to you. I have classes tomorrow, so I'll leave first."
"and many more."
Ryan turned his head and saw this carefree woman staring at him seriously, pointing at the dimly lit school.
"Why don't you just join the Fire Moths, or is it more fun to play house there? Your talent can reduce a lot of casualties, even the Second Herrscher at that time..."
"Okay, how much can I do alone, or do you think I can kill all the Honkai with courage alone?"
The red-haired woman was speechless. There was really no way to answer this question. The Honkai Impact was like a typhoon or hail, which would never stop. It could not even be called a specific enemy.
"We are just passively defending. What if one day the Honkai exceeds the limit of what the Fire Moth can handle? So I am not playing house. I have to understand the nature of Honkai before I can find a solution."
"But the Fire Moth also has a research institute, you can definitely join." The crisp voice came from next to Himiko, who was also a female warrior.
Ryan shifted his gaze slightly and saw that she had taken off her helmet, revealing her short gray-blond hair and a slightly childish face, with her bangs slightly slanted over one eye.
The law of astringency?
He was obviously stunned for a moment, then realized that he had made a mistake just like the first time he met Mei and Himiko. He looked at the girl's puzzled eyes and raised the black cloth bag in his hand:
"But the collapse will always produce monsters. Even if we understand the nature, we still have to defeat the opponent physically. Let's go."
He didn't want to say anything more, so he turned around and walked away, straight to the slope in front of the college before looking back.
The rescue convoy of the 'Gas Company' was speeding over. After turning off the lights, the apartment area was completely dark. In fact, Ryan's reasons were not so high-sounding. The most important point was hidden in his heart.
Things like fate cannot be exposed to the world. Greed often makes things worse. After all -
The collapse is terrible, but human hearts are even more terrible.
"Captain Himiko, you're just going to let him go like this?"
Just as Ryan was returning to school, the female warrior who had asked the question just now finally couldn't help it.
"Rose, do you have a problem?" Himiko, who was about to direct the aftermath, turned her head with a look of surprise on her face.
You're not surprised, of course I have a problem.
The girl was furious and pointed at the corpse of Honkai Beast: "He solved this small disaster effortlessly, which is completely in line with the organization's "Special Talent Management Regulations". According to the rules, we should arrest him, right?"
"Then what? Should we send him to the First Research Institute for slicing, or to a combat unit?"
"This... This is of course arranged by the higher-ups."
Himiko looked at the serious girl and laughed. Perhaps in the eyes of these overwhelmed frontline fighters, Ryan's freedom was indeed enviable and jealous.
"Don't think too much. He makes sense. I am no different in terms of extraordinary combat power." She paused, then remembered something else: "I heard that there is a newcomer named Alicia at the headquarters who is even more amazing than me. Wasn't she sent to the research institute for slices?"
Alicia?
Rose showed an expression of admiration. She heard that the man was extremely powerful and played a big role in the battle against the Second Herrscher. He saved many soldiers and has become a role model for the warriors, their hero.
"There are indeed many special people... No, you are all within the framework of the organization. How can he find an excuse to roam freely outside? How can he protect the world if he is with such a bug?"
"Excuse? I don't think so. He should have his own ideas, and his identity is not simple. Besides..." Himiko pointed to the night sky, hiding the dissatisfaction in her eyes and showing a meaningful smile.
"Some people don't have to follow the rules. Don't think too much. Just do your job honestly."
Rose raised her head blankly and glanced at the starless sky, not quite understanding what was going on.
Chapter 4: Alicia and Mobius
Ryan spent two hours resolving this minor collapse and then went back to school. Perhaps because the Fire Moth helicopter was too noisy, many students were pointing at the sky.
Of course, no one took it seriously. It was dark and windy and everyone thought it was the army doing some training or something, and no one noticed Ryan climbing over the wall.
Ryan didn't have many acquaintances at school, so he walked through the crowd with his head down. When he returned to the dormitory, he found that Kevin had not returned yet.
The tuition at Qianyu Academy is very expensive. The dormitory is not large, but it is a luxurious double room. He put the weapon back into the closet and clapped his hands lightly.
"It's done."
To be honest, the intensity of the battle tonight was not very high. There were only a few Honkai beasts and a group of death warriors. In fact, the whole world was the same. The random occurrence of Honkai phenomena was a headache but not fatal. Even the two Herrschers who appeared were forcibly suppressed.
Everything is normal in the world order, and even within the Fire Moth there is a sense of relief.
"If I hadn't known that the world would end sooner or later, I would have relaxed along with you guys."
Ryan grinned, he had been unlucky these years, always encountering Honkai around him, but this thing was completely random, there were no prisoners who knew the current situation, and lacked the conditions to think deeply about it.
"Exploration is not a fantasy. We must have objective conditions to move forward. It's like a ladder. We have to step up slowly."
He thought about the stagnant strength. What happened tonight showed that low-level Honkai beasts were no longer sufficient to be a condition for development. But Ryan was not in a hurry. Just like he did not participate in the Second Herrscher crusade, only the living can go to develop, and the dead are only fit to be buried in the ground.
I am as steady as an old dog.
Ryan looked at the wall clock with a sense of pride, and wondered why Kevin hadn't come back yet. Could it be that he finally mustered up the courage to take Mei out for the night?
Hey~
The cell phone rang slightly, Ryan took it out and saw that it was not a message from Kevin, but a pink cartoon image that looked like a ball of yarn.
【若花炫兰】: When will you update? (Looking forward to it)
Ryan was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was a book friend he had added. Ryan had been fishing in the comment section before and found that this person was quite insightful, so he added him to his address book separately.
Although the chances were slim, Ryan also wanted to find his "friend". If he could run back, that would be the best.
Anyway, we have to wait for Mei to come back before we can proceed with the next step of research.
Ryan thought about it and tapped on the keyboard.
[空]: I have something to do in the afternoon. I am very tired. I won’t write tonight.
[Ruohuaxuanlan]: How can you keep a girl waiting for a long time? If I can't sleep at night, you will be responsible for it.
Girl? It should be a big guy who picks his feet.
Ryan sneered. It was a tone that a normal girl wouldn't speak in. She also loved using cute emoticons. According to the laws of the internet, they were all considered to be toe-picking people, but he didn't feel disgusted.
His advantage is that he knows the ending, but his disadvantage is also that if he keeps staring at the result, he will inevitably go crazy. He doesn't want to be a robot who just wants to survive.
Even if you know the outcome, you should still enjoy the present moment, maintain your state of mind and stay true to yourself at every stage.
[Ruohuaxuanlan]: Why are you suddenly silent? Did you change your mind?
[空]: No, I have classes tomorrow and I really can’t squeeze in any time today.
【若花炫兰】: Are you tired? I recently found a book on body massage, and it helped several people relieve their fatigue. Would you like me to send it to you?
【空】：I have no one to help me.
[若花炫莲]: Don’t you have a roommate who values women over friendship? Is the relationship not good?
[Kong]: He cares more about women than friends. How can he care about me? This guy hasn't come back yet.
[Ruohuaxuanlan]: You haven't come back yet? Could it be... (covering mouth), if only I were here, I could give you a massage while you write from morning till night.
Are you a demon or do you think I'm a typewriter?
Ryan's mouth twitched, and he replied with a 'sleep' expression in an unpleasant manner, then lay down on the bed, threw his phone aside and ignored it.
Looking at the ceiling, his pupils reflected the halo of the chandelier, and an unconscious smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, as if he was savoring the moment of relaxation brought to him by an interesting netizen, but this smile soon calmed down and no longer contained any expression.
If only it hadn't collapsed.
Suddenly an idea popped up in his mind, and then he used it as a condition to smoothly unfold his fantasy. A few seconds later, Ryan sat up instantly and patted his face gently, as if to wake himself up from the fantasy.
The world will not change according to his fantasy, at least, not now.
......
Mu Continent, the Fifth Research Institute of the Fire Moth.
Metal ceiling, metal floor, countless precision instruments emitting various colors of fluorescence. Any instrument placed here is comparable to the treasure of a cutting-edge laboratory. But if you look closely, you can see vessels filled with green liquid placed everywhere.
Strange pieces of meat or internal organs float in the vessels, adding a touch of creepiness to the sci-fi feel.
On one side of this horrible laboratory, there was a metal bed with a young girl sitting on it.
She has long, slightly curly pink hair, purple eyes as deep as stars, long and thin eyebrows, a slightly raised nose, and a curve on her lips, as if she is smiling mischievously.
The girl held her cell phone in her hands, humming a song softly and swinging her legs back and forth. Her beautiful face and elf-like appearance did not really fit in with this cold and scary laboratory.
"Hehe, you really like to keep me in suspense. You actually caught my curiosity accurately."
The girl's voice was melodious and lively. She didn't seem angry at all for being stood up. She was just picking up her phone to send something interesting...
"Others just simply don't want to pay attention to you, Alicia." A slow voice came out, and a tall woman emerged from the shadow of the laboratory. She was wearing a white coat and a turtleneck sweater, showing her perfect figure. Her long green hair was tied into a ponytail, and she was reaching out to hold her black-framed glasses.
"Also, the organization gave you a communication device, not for you to chat with netizens."
"Mebius, you finished the inspection so quickly?" Alicia stood up, stepped barefoot on the floor, and asked with a smile: "Are you too tired after working all day?"
She moved closer, but Mebius subconsciously took a half step back, looking at the woman who was talking to herself with some helplessness.
She originally thought that this kind of personality was pretended, because she was too enthusiastic and kind, and even developed a sense of disgust. But these days she was left with helplessness. It is still unclear whether she was acting, but it was indeed a role that she could not handle.
"Okay, Blanca has made me some coffee. Don't get too close. Your examination is still fine, but I think you must have some secrets. Maybe I'll be able to find them out soon, so it's better for you to tell me yourself."
Mebius took off her glasses, with a confident and arrogant smile on her lips. She felt that she had exerted enough pressure, because the pink-haired girl finally stopped moving and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.
Come on, tell me your secret. After being together for such a long time, you should be clear about my abilities.
Her smile grew deeper and deeper, and then Alicia finally finished her thoughts and lowered her hand from her face.
"Mebius, why do you think he ignored me?"
