"Don't worry, I haven't had time to dissect you yet." Mobius put his hands in his pockets and walked over with a smile, "How does it feel to experience life and death? Is there the legendary revolving lantern?"

"I didn't see the revolving lantern, but I had a very strange dream." Ryan covered his forehead and frowned. His memory was very vague.

Mabius perked up immediately. She was actually joking. There was no such thing as a revolving lantern when a person died. This was the result of her own experiment, and she had indeed gotten the truth out of him.

"Dream? What dream? Tell me about it."

"I can't remember clearly. It seemed like I was floating in an imaginary space, aimlessly and endlessly. I seemed to be able to see..." Ryan suddenly closed his mouth, turned his head slightly, and saw Mebius sitting next to him.

Her long black silk legs were folded, and she leaned forward with her shoulders almost resting on her chest. Her emerald pupils were filled with concentration and curiosity, as if she wanted to remember every word he said in her heart.

"Tell me what you saw."

"I said I can't remember clearly." Ryan paused and looked at Mebius. For some reason, he didn't fool around. Instead, he answered seriously: "This is not a dream. It must be something very important. That space should be the imaginary space."

Mebius gritted his teeth. It was just like reading a wonderful novel, and then suddenly ending when the answer was revealed, which made people feel itchy.

But she soon let go. As a smart person, she understood what Ryan meant. There was no silence or deception about such a crucial secret. It was a big step forward for him to speak it out.

"Well, it's worth it that I came all the way from Mu Continent to save your life."

With a "click", Mebius stood up, puffed out his proud chest, and said sarcastically:

"You usually seem quite rational, but I didn't expect you to be so crazy sometimes. You challenged the Third Herrscher alone. I'm surprised you thought of that. Do you regret it now?"

"Reason and madness seem to be two extremes, but there is only a fine line between them. You should understand this truth." Ryan shrugged and shook his head, "Regret is even more impossible. Every step into the unknown is a gamble. If you regret once, you will be hesitant in the future. So don't give yourself the opportunity to regret. This is the most rational approach."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then smiled at the same time, equally rational and calm, equally crazy. Klein's scalp tingled when he saw this, and he finally understood why Dr. Mebius was so interested in Dr. Ryan.

The latter are not only worth studying, but they are also the same kind of people.

Ryan pulled out all the cables, gritted his teeth and sat up, and asked casually, "So my injuries were almost healed, and suddenly I had a cardiac arrest?"

"Well, it's a very strange situation, but it's not so strange when it comes to you." Mobius paced back and forth, slowly recounting the whole process, "You fell into a coma after killing the Third Herrscher. When I came here by seaplane, Alicia was holding you. Haha, the expression on that fat woman's face was very interesting, but it's a pity that I couldn't take a picture of it."

Seaplane?

Ryan's expression changed, he didn't expect Mebius to be so brave, which meant that the battle wasn't over yet, but she was already patrolling the periphery, ready to land and rescue at any time.

"Don't look at me like that. I've said before that you're very valuable, and I've invested so much in the early stages. If you die, I'll be at a loss." Mobius explained, then found a logical loophole and waved his hand again, "It's not important. Don't ask any more questions."

"Anyway, I got you on a plane, put you in the newly developed biological treatment chamber, and then sent you to this medical ship. You were fine at first, and all your indicators were starting to improve, but then you suddenly had a cardiac arrest, so I put you on the operating table to save you. If you still died, I would have to dissect you. Any amount of investment is good."

Ryan had been grateful when he heard this. Mobius had indeed saved his life. Otherwise, he would have died when the Fire Moth rescue team arrived. Moreover, this biological repair chamber was very effective. He looked at the electronic clock in the operating room and saw that only five days had passed.

But later, his gratitude disappeared, and he thought that this woman who did whatever she wanted was really unpleasant.

Suddenly my heart stopped and then I had a weird dream. Why does it feel a little weird?

Ryan touched his chin, and recalled what he saw at the moment he killed the Herrscher of Thunder, as well as the other party's last "last words".

He felt that there must be a connection between the three, but he just couldn't figure it out. It was like the "epiphany" in martial arts novels, with a rather mysterious feeling.

The unknown is both fascinating and disgusting.

Ryan thought so, but another feeling was more obvious. He seemed to be able to see the invisible electromagnetic field. As long as he concentrated and extended the Honkai energy over it, he could control it.

"What did you think of?" Mebius couldn't help himself.

"Some important things, but without any clues it's hard to even make assumptions." Ryan shook his head and asked before Mebius went crazy, "How is Canghai City? Is there any other information?"

It's this kind of riddle again, only telling half of everything.

Mobius pursed his lips and snorted unhappily: "The cleanup battle is 94% complete, but the impact of the third collapse is extremely large, covering the entire East Asia, and now the people above are having a headache."

The Herrscher of Thunder is like a typhoon, and Canghai City is just the center of the storm. The roaring collapse can sweep across tens of millions of square kilometers of land. The number of collapse beasts is growing rapidly, and the number of dead warriors mutated from humans is rising and falling.

Is that right?

Ryan sighed softly, this result was doomed the moment the Herrscher appeared, it would be useless even if he was killed instantly. Fortunately, he was not destined to be a protector or a savior, so he did not feel pain.

"Anything else?"

"There are so many things going on. Do you want to hear the general direction or the details?"

"It's something related to me." Ryan took a sip of the coffee handed to him by Klein. He found that the assistant looked familiar, but he didn't ask much.

"You? Does it count that Alicia came to see you three times? She brought a fruit basket each time, but when she found out you weren't awake, she ate the food herself and left the garbage in my operating room!!"

The resentment was so overwhelming that Ryan couldn't help but laugh out loud. This was really like Alicia's style.

"I will be transferred to the general ward later. I will thank her after I recover." Ryan paused, and suddenly realized that he had forgotten something. He nodded solemnly: "Of course, thank you too, Mebius."

"Oh, I don't care." Mebius raised his head slightly, with the corners of his mouth curled up, "Oh, there is one more thing. There is a little girl who has been waiting outside these days. Tell me, who is she to you?"

magnificent?

Ryan immediately thought of her, and when he saw that Mebius's face looked strange, he was puzzled for a moment.

"She is my junior sister and was dragged into this incident."

"But the information says this girl is a high school student. How can she be so amazing?"

"Junior sister in martial arts has nothing to do with research."

"Oh, that's really vulgar, but this kid is quite interesting, at least he's very honest. I'll have Klein push you out later, and you can introduce yourself to him so we can get to know each other."

"Mebius, I'm warning you, don't attack her!"

"Huh, who wants to attack her?" Mobius' face suddenly turned cold. He thought to himself, I didn't want to deal with such a vulgar person, but after hearing what you said, I really want to get to know her and see what magic makes you care so much.

When Ryan saw Mobius's expression, he knew that he was in trouble. How could Hua, an honest man, be a match for this snake? But he was no longer in the state of mind that was wary and disgusted with Mobius as when he first met him.

Although he didn't say anything, he still remembered the favor in his heart. He was thinking of a solution when he heard Mebius speak.

"Klein, give him the bill."

Bill? What bill?

Ryan was stunned for a moment, then he saw Klein walking over slowly and handing over a thick stack of things, so he subconsciously looked down.

"Dr. Mobius will personally perform the rescue, the labor cost is 50 Euros, and the biological repair chamber will be activated, 2 Euros per hour, a total of 300 million Euros. Dr. Mobius will personally take care of Jie Fei, 5000 Euros per hour..."

"You are robbing me, and I was injured because of the Third Herrscher, why should I pay?"

Ryan looked up instantly, thinking that this woman must be seeking revenge. He had indeed saved a lot of money over the years, but it was still not enough to support such a sky-high bill.

"No way. As the world's top doctor, this is the price I charge. If you don't believe me, you can check it online. It's absolutely clearly marked. No one is cheated." Mobius scratched his nails and said slowly:

"As for you, it's even more troublesome. You don't belong to any department of the Fire Moth, and you're not on the rescue list, so you don't have any medical insurance. As a gentleman, you won't run away."

Ryan's mouth began to twitch. He couldn't find any words to refute. He looked at Mebius who raised his chin and said sullenly: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"It's simple. I work to pay off my debts. It's fair and reasonable."

It's so simple?

Ryan thought that Mebius would take the opportunity to find out the secret. At worst, he could just grit his teeth and pay the money back. It was only a few million euros.

But this sentence made him interested. He had no interest in dealing with lower-level Honkai beasts, and he also needed to recuperate for a while, so he might as well take this opportunity to study and master his current abilities. He also benefited a lot from the last cooperation with Mebius.

"That's true, but I always feel that—"

"Are you kidding me?"

Chapter 61 What if I die too?

Ryan finally agreed to Mebius. He was a very proud man and didn't like to owe favors to others. Anyway, his body had not fully recovered, so he had to rest for a while.

After the third collapse, the world will usher in great turmoil. Doomsday believers and alien cults will emerge, and it will be a world of chaos and the crime rate will soar.

After discovering the truth, ordinary people will either panic or become dejected, because they can do nothing but act on instinct.

Those who are more free and easy will enjoy life while they can, those who are more far-sighted will start stockpiling supplies immediately, and smart people will stockpile guns and ammunition. As the saying goes, if others buy food, I will buy guns, and my neighbors are my granaries.

The evil in human nature will be fully exposed, and Ryan is not interested in being a hero everywhere, because if the fundamental problem is not solved, good people will sooner or later become bad people, unless you exterminate mankind.

Therefore, if one wants to change the trajectory of fate, the research of Mobius and others becomes more important. For example, the Fusion Warrior Project has made great progress after the last research.

However, he didn't dare to stay in Mebius's operating room. Thinking of the woman's capitalist appearance, he gritted his teeth and insisted on being transferred to the general ward.

"Haha, I told you that you can't escape from my grasp." Mebius looked at Ryan who was pushed away in a wheelchair, drank a sip of coffee with a satisfied look on his face, and then he saw the door of the operating room open.

A girl with blue-gray hair was dozing off in a chair. When she heard the sound, she jumped up suddenly, unable to hide the surprise on her face.

Humph, this little girl’s name is Hua, right?

Mebius's originally comfortable eyes suddenly became sharp, and a strange arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. Then when Ryan turned his head to look, he covered his face with the coffee cup.

Murderous intent?!

Ryan turned his head quickly and saw Mebius drinking coffee, looking as if he was not involved.

He didn't think much about it and just looked at Hua who was walking towards him.

The girl's eyes were full of worry, even a little distressed. She leaned over, gently stroked the bandage with her fingers, and whispered:

"Brother, are you still in pain?"

It sounds like nonsense, but it is filled with deep concern.

"For warriors like us, pain is a common thing." Ryan forced a smile and then frowned again, "Life goes on and the fight never stops. You don't think that a hard fight can defeat me."

"Of course not. You are the winner and the hero who saved Canghai City. Because of your arrangement, at least half of the people survived." Hua shook his head quickly, his eyes full of admiration, but soon dimmed: "But you have to bear all the pain."

Only half of the people?

Ryan frowned at first, then relaxed his brows. In the original world line, tens of millions of people in Canghai were killed. This result was already good. Of course, they would die sooner or later, but isn't there a "sooner or later" here?

"If the sky falls, the tall people will have to hold it up. This is the responsibility that comes with strength." Ryan did not brag. He looked at the girl in front of him with a faint smile.

Hua's body was a little dirty, and she had two thick dark circles under her eyes. It was obvious that she had experienced a drastic change and was exhausted, but the girl still managed to hold on and showed no signs of collapse.

He reached out his hand and stroked the girl's face as she stepped back slightly. The touch was smooth and delicate, just like stroking an egg, but Ryan didn't think too much about it and just wiped the dust off her.

"It's your growth that makes me both worried and happy."

"I'm sorry, I didn't listen to you..."

"What is there to apologize for? Stick to your beliefs and walk your own path firmly. This is the essence of martial arts."

Ryan didn't know what Fu Hua looked like in the original world. Maybe because of him, the girl in front of him had changed a little, but some things had already penetrated into her bones and would never change.

"Well, I understand!" Hua's eyes gradually widened. She was actually very satisfied.

Personal strength can be ignored in this catastrophe. Without Ryan, Carol would definitely die, and he himself would most likely not survive. Even if he survived, he would hide in the ruins like those people, waiting for the Fire Moth to rescue him.
