"You still play mobile games?"
"Well, I was dragged into this by Carol before, so I just play around when I have nothing to do." Hua was a little embarrassed after being caught, and he quickly got up, trying to keep a straight face: "I am also practicing your teachings and exercising my will by the way!"
"What do I teach?"
“Separate exercise, study and entertainment, try to enjoy life, and you can also exercise your will through constant setbacks.”
Ryan thought for a moment, as if it was what he had said, he had to fight, do research, and practice his skills. If he had no private life, he would become a pervert sooner or later.
"No, that's just a card drawing game. How can it train your will? Let me see." Ryan was not so easily fooled. He immediately snatched out his phone, dialed the illustrated book and took a look. He almost laughed out loud.
Although the training level is very high, all of them are low-star cards, and the only two high-star characters are repeated. It is a world of difference from the golden team that Kevin showed off in front of him.
"You are..."
"I'm just unlucky. I can't get a high-star one no matter how hard I try. I finally got the guaranteed one, but I lost the same character at the same time." Hua's stiff face drooped, full of annoyance.
Turns out he's a non-African. I thought so.
Ryan patted her shoulder with some sympathy. It turned out that this was to exercise willpower. If she could not give up even though she was so unlucky, her will had already surpassed steel.
Such perseverance is admirable.
"There is a saying that spending money can change your destiny. There is no such thing as a fool in the world. If there is, it's because the money you spend is not enough."
"I won't waste money on this kind of thing. I'd rather spend more time on it when I have nothing to do." Hua shook his head firmly. He was indeed very sensible.
You are both a non-lover and a liver? It's hard to deal with you like this.
Ryan licked his lips, not knowing how to persuade this stubborn guy. After hesitating for a moment, he got down to business: "The flight has been suspended. Why don't you take the high-speed train back?"
"There are no tickets for the high-speed rail either. The earliest you can get is two days later."
That’s right, with such a strong typhoon, everyone who was safe ran away.
Ryan was stunned for a moment. In fact, this was not a problem at all. At most, he could let the Fire Moth act as a scalper. There was no way he would run away in a panic.
"I'm going to the Fire Moth's land contact point and will be back around seven. You pack your things."
"Senior Brother, can I go with you?" Hua raised his hand and called Ryan, his eyes full of anticipation and reluctance.
Ryan didn't think much about it. It was normal for a child to be interested in secret organizations.
He thought about it for a moment and nodded, "Alright, go and call Carol and come with me. After we're done, I'll take you out of Canghai."
"Okay, I'll clean it up right away." Hua smiled immediately, his happiness visibly evident.
"You, when did you become curious? It's a good thing." Ryan tapped the girl's forehead and glanced at the phone next to him. "You still have a ten-shot combo. Can I help you draw it?"
"No problem." Hua handed over the phone, then walked behind Ryan and looked at him with curiosity.
Ryan didn't care, so he casually clicked on the card draw, and then the colorful light on the screen illuminated the faces of the two.
Hua was stunned for a moment. She had wanted to see Ryan make a fool of himself, but she didn't expect that a golden light would appear when she pressed the button casually. Then it jumped a little more, and her already dull face froze.
Not only withdrawals, but also——
Three yellows! ?
......
The heavy rain was beating against the car windows, the wipers were turning very fast, and muffled thunder was occasionally heard in the gloomy sky, but no lightning was to be seen.
Ryan drove past at high speed. Apart from some rescue vehicles, there were few people on the road. Occasionally, a tree was blown down by the strong wind, splashing water all over the ground.
The car was a bit dull. Ryan glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Hua sitting quietly in the back seat. She still looked expressionless, but he could sense an obvious resentment in her.
"The resentment of the non-Africans was directly broken by my three yellows." Ryan grinned. This kind of little thing in life is quite pleasant. What makes him even happier is that the influence on China in recent years has begun to show results.
His junior sister is old-fashioned and serious, and sometimes lacks the vitality that is expected of her age. She is even a little boring. If this period of time is extended to 50,000 years, it would be strange if she is not lonely.
I finally know how to make friends and have fun. Only when life becomes colorful will we have the desire to enjoy it.
"Are you still angry?"
"No, I just feel a little useless. I'm not as lucky as you when playing a mobile game." Hua looked out the window and sighed softly, "I'm pretty unlucky. Last time on a school trip, I played cards with Carol and the others, and my face was covered with notes."
puff.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Hua patted the back of the chair.
"I'm just happy that you can realize this, which proves that you have tried many things and gradually become interesting."
Interesting? Shouldn't life be darker?
Ryan turned into another road and said, "Stubbornness and focus are advantages, but being too focused is dangerous. You have to find something to distract yourself. And if you are really unlucky, how can you meet me?"
Hua didn't understand the first half of the sentence, but she subconsciously nodded to the second half. This was indeed a great luck.
Ryan not only taught her boxing, but also stood up for her, gave her living expenses all year round, and gradually became a kind of life goal for her.
Not to mention walking with him, at least you have to be qualified to follow behind him.
"Brother, I suddenly realized that you are so narcissistic."
"No, no, no, it's called confidence."
The car stopped in front of a building made entirely of reflective glass. As Ryan pressed the horn, the thick iron door slowly opened.
Hua leaned against the window and looked around. He felt that this place was very familiar. When he saw the guard in police uniform in the booth, he immediately understood.
Isn't this the Canghai City Homeland Security Bureau? It turns out to be the office of the Fire Chaser Moth. How amazing!
Of course a high school student was a little excited to enter such a secret department, but Ryan was used to it, as he had been to the CIA before, so he drove the car into the underground garage.
I opened the car door and saw Hen waiting there.
"Oh, you brought her here too." The man winked at Hua, but the latter had a stern face and ignored him. He could only look at Ryan for help.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Hua is just like this. Why don't you take me to your office for a chat?"
"No, it's safer here."
The two smiled at each other. Some things don't need to be discussed openly. Hen took out two cans of coffee from his pocket and threw them over, looking at Ryan with a strange look.
"What's that look in your face?"
"You look like you're asking for advice. I really don't know how you managed to deal with Dr. Mebius. This woman is extremely difficult."
"Simple, first use your strength to resist, then arouse her curiosity, use this as the focus, and finally use interests to control the dominant position." Ryan said with some pride, and raised his eyebrows again: "Why, do you know her?"
Hen immediately knew that this guy would misunderstand his meaning, and glanced at Hua next to him, and simply smiled and said: "My fiancée is her assistant."
"Blanca?" Ryan thought of that gentle woman, and then looked at Hen carefully, and suddenly felt that they looked like a couple.
"Yes, I will marry her once I have dealt with the Third Herrscher. I have been waiting for many years."
"Hey, don't set this kind of flag before the battle." Ryan interrupted quickly.
"Do you still believe in this kind of metaphysics?" Hen grinned. At first he thought Ryan was a battle maniac or a cold-blooded killer, but now it seems quite normal.
"We've learned a bloody lesson. Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk business." Ryan waved his hand and became serious. "I came here this time not only to get something, but also for something more important."
"You said."
"I have confirmed that the third collapse is in the Canghai, and it will erupt soon."
Hen frowned. He was not a fool. Of course he knew something was wrong recently, but war cannot be fought based on intuition.
"Cang Hai is indeed one of the five possible targets, but Su Cheng ranks higher. In addition, the data transmitted from the branch to the headquarters can confirm that Cang Hai is still within the safety threshold."
"The data may not be accurate. Even if it is true, it can be tampered with." Ryan took a sip of coffee and said jokingly, "I'm not talking about conspiracy theories. It's nothing strange that the Fire Moth is full of conspiracies."
"You mean... there's a spy among us?" Hen's expression was solemn. If someone else said this, he would just treat it as a joke, but Ryan was different.
This is one of our own, the one who single-handedly killed an emperor-level Honkai beast. Reputation is sometimes very useful, at least every word can make people pay attention.
"He's not a spy, but there's always room for self-righteous fools. That Calis is gone now, right?"
"Yes, he left the day before yesterday, saying that he was going to Su City to take charge."
"So do you think things got weird after he left?"
Hen fell silent. As a middle-level leader of the Nan Shenzhou branch, he had long discovered that there was something wrong with the sudden typhoon. However, all his reports fell on deaf ears, and even his plan to encircle the Mosha branch was rejected.
"Hearing what you said, it seems that there really is a problem. How did you notice it?"
"It's very simple. I came to Canghai, but they avoided me. Can't they just copy the Far East Branch's homework?" Ryan spread his hands, his face full of contempt: "Even if Moshazhi is hiding in the sea and is difficult to kill, call Alicia over, and we can kill it together. How can they turn a blind eye to a Honkai beast in front of them?"
That's right. Hen also found that he couldn't contact Alicia using ordinary means. The above said that the operation should be secret and silent, but the lady's temper didn't seem like she was carrying out a secret mission.
"What good is there in doing this?"
Ryan didn't answer, just stared at him. After a few seconds, Ryan's expression changed drastically and he subconsciously clenched his fists.
There is no need to ask about the motive. Some people in the Fire Moth want to break free from the shackles around their necks and completely transform from an agency under the League of Nations and a cooperative organization of various countries into an uncontrollable monster and the real savior of mankind.
This means power, rapidly expanding power. As for how many people die in order to achieve this goal, it doesn’t matter at all. According to predictions, there will be a lot of deaths in the Honkai Impact 3, so a few more people won’t make a difference.
To put it in a positive way, if these people's sacrifice allows humanity to unite sooner and avoid the extinction of civilization, it can be considered a win-win.
"These bastards, actually, actually..."
"You actually think it makes sense, right? At least it's logically flawless." Ryan sighed and shook his head.
"But this is wrong after all. It is wrong no matter what. They have abandoned their own ideals and responsibilities. One day, they will sacrifice everyone, including you and me, for the sake of 'great justice'. To be honest, if that Calis really came to Canghai to take charge and use his life to implement the great justice, I would respect him as a man."
"That's right. To sacrifice others, you must first sacrifice yourself." Hen Duo agreed with this idea. If he couldn't do this, he would just be a mean person who talked about righteousness. A bit of worry appeared on his face. "If this is the idea, I oppose it but I don't hate it. I'm just afraid of the other people above."
"Are you talking about those believers?" Ryan also became serious, even with a hint of murderous intent.
"Those charlatans think they have the truth, and they will do bad things sooner or later, but among the 46 members of parliament, I don't know who are believers."
"After the third collapse, they will slowly be exposed, and we can just deal with them then."
"That's not easy. Killing a councillor is equivalent to treason, and we will face the encirclement and suppression of the entire Fire Moth." Hen licked his lips and said sadly: "Even if you are a Herrscher, you can't fight against the whole world."
Individual combat power has its limits. At least the Herrscher will bring a bunch of Honkai beasts with him, and he can be said to have a large army around him. But even Alicia cannot take a nuclear bomb in the face and face the siege of thousands of troops.
But I have no limits.
Ryan smiled quietly and changed the subject again: "Let's talk about the present matter first. Give me Mebius's things and do me two more favors."
"I've already prepared the things for you." Hen nodded and immediately took out a large box from a nearby car and put it on the ground with a thump.
It was obviously very heavy, but Ryan was not in a hurry to open it for inspection, as if he trusted Mebius's craftsmanship.
"This favor is very simple. Use your means to contact Alicia. You don't need to say anything else. Just say that I asked her to come over for a chat. Also, use your authority to issue an evacuation notice, using the typhoon as an excuse to have the citizens evacuate."
