There was almost no pause before Ryan answered. Mebius raised his head instantly, surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I like your honesty, so as a friend, can I exchange blood bags?"
"Don't be so arrogant. Friends are friends and transactions are transactions. From the perspective of helping, I have already helped enough."
Even with her thick skin, Mebius couldn't refute this. Although she didn't get Ryan's secret, the Fusion Warrior Project took a big step forward, which directly accelerated her evolution.
Even though she was a little disdainful of the fusion of Honkai beast genes, since Ryan was willing to do it, it must be right.
"The results will definitely be out within half a year. If your genes are strong enough, it may be even faster. When I have free time, I will go to discuss it with Mei." Mebius pulled out the needle and pressed his hand on the wound.
She used very gentle force, finally allowing Ryan to experience tenderness, and by the way, she remembered something.
"Mei is now the director of the First Research Institute, right?"
"Yes, the First Research Institute focuses on exploring imaginary numbers. No one is more suitable than her. Besides, Mei is a good person, so the higher-ups are more assured."
Ryan nodded in agreement. Mei was a very resourceful person with unquestionable abilities. In addition, she had no background and had Kevin as a 'hostage', so of course he felt at ease.
"She is the first, you are the fifth, what are the three research institutes in between for?"
It was rare for Mebius to hear Ryan ask a question, so he answered seriously like a teacher: "The second institute is engaged in artificial intelligence and war machines, the third institute is responsible for quantum direction, and the fourth institute is mainly materials science and energetics."
Anti-entropy, quantum sea, key of God.
Ryan understood immediately that research was not something that could be accomplished overnight. It took a lot of accumulation before Mei and others could break through the bottleneck. Just like the Fusion Warrior Program, without Mebius's preliminary research, it would take him several years to get a clue.
"If you and Mei join forces, these studies will have substantial breakthroughs. After all, you two are both geniuses and all-rounders."
Mebius felt very comfortable with this flattery, so comfortable that he even narrowed his eyes.
"You are good at talking, right? It's annoying to see those mediocre people dithering while my funding is always blocked." Mobius cursed and then shook his head rationally: "But the higher-ups won't allow it. They want to maintain the so-called balance, and they don't have the courage and determination to push open that door."
The preliminary work for the fusion warriors has been completed, but the relevant results have been submitted but have fallen into oblivion.
This is normal. The physical transformation project that Mebius was in charge of before was just to tap into the potential of humans, while the fusion warriors are to transform humans into something else.
"When faced with a life-and-death situation, they didn't have the courage to push open that door, at least not on the surface." Mobius' smile became more and more sarcastic. Combined with the previous data theft, it was so stupid that it was hard to describe.
"It takes extraordinary courage for politicians to consider their own reputation and to turn humans into something else." Ryan understands this approach very well. Politics is all about wrangling and passing the buck.
If humans can defeat Honkai, then what should be done with these aliens? Should all humans undergo fusion surgery and become aliens?
"Survival is the first instinct, but unfortunately this kind of pressure can only be exerted by the Herrscher." Ryan sighed, and his phone vibrated, so he unlocked it and took a look, then grinned inch by inch, "But I can also use some tricks to advance this progress."
Mebius didn't notice this little move, he just snorted in annoyance: "Come on, once you kill them all you'll find that the people who replace them are even more stupid."
"No need to kill. I'm dealing with a human being, not a brainless Herrscher."
Ryan turned the phone over and handed it to Mebius, who looked up with confusion written all over his emerald eyes.
It was a message from an unknown mailbox. It only contained a series of numbers. With her intelligence, she quickly guessed what it meant.
"Map coordinates?"
"Smart, it's exactly the coordinate. Remember Wei Wei?"
"That 'magician'? I see. The one who revealed my whereabouts was indeed someone inside the Fire Moth. Did they ask you to kill her?"
"On the contrary, someone wants her to shut up, and someone wants me to save her life." Ryan smiled and dragged the laptop on the table and began to open the map to enter the coordinates.
After entering the longitude and latitude, the map quickly focused on Montpellier, a small town in the southwest of Mu Continent.
Mobius suddenly realized something. She remembered that Vivi was an expert at making machines. She frowned and asked, "Are you still connected with the Pure Blood Faction?"
"How is it possible? In their eyes, I have already become a monster. The people who silenced her are purebloods. Some people want to see them get into trouble, which coincides with my plan." Ryan's smile turned cold. Now that the world line has been changed, let the storm come even harder.
For example, he was very envious of the Second and Fourth Research Institutes, and he also understood that humans had no right to waste time, and should take this opportunity to clear obstacles and implement the Fusion Warrior Program.
Isn't it because of cherishing talent, but just a political conspiracy?
Mebius also became a little sarcastic. She disdained to get involved in the affairs of the upper class. Since Ryan was willing to help, it would be nice to share some of the benefits.
"The Third Herrscher has sounded the alarm. The Honkai Impact is so terrible, but they are still clinging to one path and refusing to give up. They should wake up."
"It's not that simple. Eliminating the opponent in the name of justice is essentially just for those few seats. The Fire Moth is a rare commodity now, and there are bigwigs everywhere who want to join the game, but there are only forty-six seats in the parliament, so we have to make room."
Ryan has seen through the essence of the matter. Now that Honkai has been exposed to the world, the Fire Moth, as the only organization against Honkai, has greatly increased its power. Without going into details, even if a certain area is turned into a key defense area, the benefits are unimaginable.
Those elite warriors full of ideals are essentially no different from servants. With "fighting against collapse" as the major premise, letting some "unsuitable" people step down is also a "blessing" for mankind.
These words were very brain-burning. If it were Hua, he would probably be stunned on the spot. However, Mebius only thought for a moment, figured out the key points, and then yawned.
"It's so boring. There are so many things I can do with all this energy."
"I don't want to do it either, but I'm the only one who can do it at this stage."
"Who will be there in the future?" Mebius was a little surprised, but Van Ryan had some ambitions and he would control the Fire Moth sooner or later.
"plum."
"Well, with that woman's ruthlessness, she is indeed suitable for doing these things." Mobius finally took back the cotton swab and warned: "What you do is beneficial to me, but be careful and don't get yourself into trouble."
Ryan felt reluctant to leave. It was rare for him to see Mebius acting like a human being, so he pulled off the sleeves of his shirt.
"Don't worry. Why do you think I stayed underground with you? As your witness, I never left."
Mebius was stunned and felt that the man in front of him became unfamiliar. He was not only a scholar and a warrior, but also a conspirator who had planned everything long ago.
Her lips moved slightly, but she couldn't utter the words "add money". She knew that Ryan said this out of trust, and the relationship between them became much closer.
"The emergency exit is right next to the deep laboratory. I will make the experiment fail and cut off the power to the entire Fifth Institute for a few minutes. You'd better be quick and come back quickly."
Ryan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Mebius to be so straightforward. He had been prepared to be ripped off.
"My impression of you has changed. I also like this kind of human touch. Let's go to the movies together next time."
"Hmph, I've already said that what you're doing is in my interest. I don't want something I've worked so hard to develop to be inapplicable." Mobius turned his head away, listening to the footsteps fading away, and couldn't help but shout, "Wait, I have one more thing to do."
Are you still unwilling to give in?
Ryan paused at the door and sighed inwardly. Although he was a little unhappy, it was nothing more than drawing two more tubes of blood.
He turned around indifferently and saw a black thing flying towards him. He grabbed it subconsciously and his expression became interesting.
This is a pair of black stockings. Judging from the scratches on the thigh, it was the same pair that was damaged during the "hand-to-hand combat" in the car. I was immediately puzzled.
"What... do you mean by this?"
Mebius tilted his head, his expression couldn't be seen, but his voice remained steady.
"Since you are leaving and I have nothing to give you as a gift, just use this as a talisman."
What kind of amulet is this?!
Ryan really wanted to cut open this woman's head to see what she was thinking. It was simply out of the blue. And how could he use this thing as a talisman? Should he wear it on his feet or tie it around his neck?
He must be trying to trick me again, so I must stay calm at this time.
Ryan did not show any panic expression. He just sniffed it lightly, put it in his trouser pocket, walked out the door, and spoke only at the moment of closing the door.
"Next time, remember to wash it before giving it to others. Don't you know that athlete's foot is contagious?"
thump.
The door was closed, followed by a muffled sound. Mebius threw out his high-heeled shoes with all his strength. Then his face turned slightly red, and he held on to the table and gasped.
Die outside now!
Chapter 74: The Dark Side of the World
Mebius was furious, but Ryan felt a twisted sense of pleasure. It was a pity that he didn't see the expression on her face in the end. It was just that he had important things to do now and didn't have time to magnify this feeling of pleasure.
That night, the Fifth Institute experienced an emergency power outage, but power was restored a few minutes later. The people from the security department called and asked a few questions but no one took it seriously. Mobius would cause problems from time to time.
During those few minutes, they didn't even think about protecting anyone. They just stared at the entrance nervously, aiming all kinds of guns and cameras, fearing that a monster would run out.
It was by utilizing the unique characteristics of the Fifth Institute that Ryan quietly drilled out from underground and saw the sky again after more than a month.
The Gobi Desert was vast and desolate. He took a deep breath of the dry air, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were a little colder, as if he had switched from a scholar to a killer.
Mobius's lair is a good place for training. During this period of time, he has initially mastered the authority of the Herrscher, and now is the time to put it into practice.
"Five hundred kilometers, traveling can also be a good exercise."
The electromagnetic force spread, causing his entire body to float, and then, like a maglev train, it sped up faster and faster until it was "flying" over the pitch-black Gobi Desert.
The night wind made his hair messy, and Ryan's expression became more and more excited. He felt like he had stepped on the accelerator, and his heartbeat and speed continued to accelerate.
Huge rocks and cacti kept passing by on both sides. In order not to leave any traces, he did not rush forward and just passed by these obstacles.
The whole person was speeding away, making sudden stops, changing directions, and then accelerating. His skills were becoming more and more proficient, which made Ryan more and more satisfied.
'Before, I could only condense the Honkai energy into a pedal to stop for a short time. When I encountered a high-mobility target, I was inevitably passive and attacked. Just relying on this skill alone has made a qualitative leap.'
The same energy can produce more miraculous effects under the influence of authority, and can also be combined with previous abilities.
Ryan slowed down, spread out his right hand, and purple lightning radiated like the cry of a thousand birds, but soon the jumping electric sparks stabilized and turned into a long sword.
Without a sound, the huge rock in front of him was instantly split into two halves. Before half of the rock hit the ground, it was pierced through by the elongated lightning spear. Then the spear exploded, turning the huge rock into nothingness.
"It consumes a lot of energy, but the effect is also very good. I don't use instinct to control authority. I also have theoretical knowledge and skills. Combining them is enough to explore a new path."
The feeling of becoming stronger makes people excited, and the process makes people happy physically and mentally. Putting aside the collapse, this pre-civilization is really suitable for me.
"I have to have a chance to touch the core of the Ruler of Reason and the Ruler of Void. If I can gain something, then wouldn't that be another end for me?"
With all the authority of the Herrscher gathered in one person, the only difference left was the amount of effort put in. As long as time was sufficient, perhaps the fate of the world could really be changed.
But only time...
Ryan sighed, thinking that he shouldn't be so optimistic. In addition, he had a vague feeling that his "wings" were bigger than he thought. The words "outsider" said by the Third Herrscher before his death were like a thorn that could not be pulled out.
We still have to take it one step at a time and try to do the best.
He raised his head and could see the city in the distance through the morning and evening sandstorms. There were no tall buildings there, just the dark red Gobi Desert. Car taillights could be vaguely seen on a few roads.
This place was once famous for its iron and coal mines. In its heyday, it was full of steel mills. Later, when the resources were exhausted, it switched to being a "flour" transit station.
There was a rusty iron sign on the roadside, with the following words written on it in white paint:
Welcome to Montpellier.
It’s so desolate. Is that guy Weiwei hiding here?
Even if the girl is a magician, she cannot escape the all-pervasive Fire Moth intelligence network, so the coordinates should be correct.
