The sea breeze blew, and no matter how high Mobius's IQ was or how sharp his tongue was, he didn't know where to start when facing a stubborn person.
Why is this little girl like a wooden stake? ?
Chapter 100 Sakura and Bell
Humph, even if it's Mei, don't try to trick me.
Ryan sat on the plane, shaking his right leg gently. The moment Mebius appeared, he knew that this was Mebius' revenge on him. That black-hearted woman must be holding a grudge against him for what he said to Kevin.
"I hope that life harmony can be achieved soon. I am clearly doing this for your own good. Why don't you appreciate my kindness?"
So he understood the reason the moment he saw Mebius. As a smart man, how could he be led by the nose by someone, even if that person was Mebius?
"She is not stupid. Since she is willing to accept Mei's instigation, she wants to get back what she paid for from me with interest and hold on to my power."
Do you really think I'm stupid? Do you understand how to use the same trick against me? As for whether Hua and Mebius will fight?
To be honest, Hua's stubborn character was able to restrain Mobius's sarcasm. As long as she was on guard, Mobius could not fool her.
Even if a fight really breaks out, Mebius will most likely not be the opponent and will be pinned to the ground and hammered by that stubborn guy.
"It's a perfect match. Maybe with Mobius's encouragement, Hua will become less boring. I really have good intentions."
He was somewhat proud of himself. When it came to a battle of wits and courage, who could he be afraid of? He left in such a hurry that he also escaped the surveillance of the Fire Moth.
This plan to escape is not that simple. The key lies in the attitude of the Fire Moth. This is not a turn-based game. Ryan facilitated the cooperation with the research institute in advance and cleared the obstacles for the fusion warrior plan, so the top management will definitely respond.
"Fusion Warriors are a double-edged sword. They also give them the power to deal with me and Alicia. Even if Mobius is in charge, they can still control it."
The fusion operation is not too complicated. As long as the carrier is suitable, it can be used on anyone. The reason why the Thirteen Heroes are called Heroes is more because there were only these thirteen fusion warriors left at that time. They did not represent billions of humans. Only they could bear the high-level Honkai beast genes.
The technology is in the hands of Mobius, but the right to distribute the materials still lies with the Fire Council, and I don't want to be led by the nose.
Ryan held the side of his face and understood the Fire Moth Council's thoughts. This had nothing to do with creating obstacles. Everyone wanted the power to protect themselves. He would not turn against the Fire Moth Council until he could take over all of its property and ensure that a civil war would not break out.
"Let's just use the name of the experiment to get the materials in our hands first. Anyway, this is also within the scope of Mobius's authority, and no one can say anything. But it's a luxury to expect the Intelligence Department and the Combat Department to cooperate."
But why do I need any cooperation?
Killing two birds with one stone, leaving everyone speechless. As the plane bounced slightly when it landed, Ryan turned his head to look out the window and saw that the Lion City airport was very busy, with passenger planes parked full.
After the third collapse, East Asia became the hardest hit area. Although Fire Moth repeatedly advertised that areas other than the disaster center were safe, people were still in a panic.
We are not fools. Seeing cities being abandoned one after another and the defense lines being moved back, we all know that the Fire Moths are stretched to the limit.
There were cheerful crowds of people everywhere. Many people chose to go to the more desolate Australia or the more heavily guarded Mu Continent, so Lion City became a transit station.
In fact, this is meaningless. The completely random nature of the collapse shows that no place is safe, and in the subsequent collapse, Mu Continent and Australia seem to be even worse.
This is the truth. Ryan can't try to persuade her. A hope that is bound to be shattered is still hope.
He dragged his luggage off the plane and just as he passed through customs, he saw Sakura waiting there. Her long pink hair was spread out, and she looked smart and capable in a T-shirt and skirt pants. She had headphones hanging around her neck and seemed to be listening to music.
Ryan paused for a moment, because he was a little upset about the black stockings incident last time, and cursed Mebius again in his heart.
And Sakura had already seen Ryan. A strange look flashed across her purple eyes, but she then suppressed it forcefully, as if nothing had happened.
"Dr. Lane, you are very punctual."
Pretending to have amnesia? So gentle...
Ryan was somewhat touched, and walked over as if nothing had happened: "Did you finish the matter so quickly?"
The two shook hands. Ying hesitated for a moment and bowed slightly: "It's all thanks to your care."
This time, she went to Neon first and brought her sister Ling to Lion City. It was much safer here because it was a strategic location with a small area, and the Fire Moth had invested a huge amount of troops in its defense.
But it is also difficult to get a place here because there is a high price and a shortage of people.
Fortunately, Ryan had arranged everything: a luxury apartment in the city center and a long-term residence permit.
"I'm just keeping my word, don't take it to heart."
"But there are not many people in this world who can live up to the word 'honesty'."
Ryan was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement, picked up his luggage and left the airport with Ying, whose newly bought car was parked at the door.
The car started and drove along the coastal highway towards the city. Lion City was famous for its wealth before its collapse. The whole city is not only densely populated with high-rise buildings, but also has good public security and extremely complete facilities, including parks and shopping malls.
"It has nice greenery and is not as noisy as York. No wonder it was rated as one of the best cities to live in by the League of Nations."
"After all, Lion City is small in size and its strategic location is very important. Now that the Pacific branch has moved in, it will be difficult for Honkai beasts to survive." Sakura held the steering wheel with both hands, her eyes fixed on the front.
This Pacific branch is composed entirely of elite mobile forces, specifically responsible for supporting the entire Asian battlefield. It has extremely fast response speed and good configuration.
Ryan didn't think much about it and asked again: "Did you have a smooth journey?"
"At first, the Far East Branch followed me, but I shook them off. They didn't pursue me."
"Of course. You are the security director of the research department. You specifically asked Dr. Mei for annual leave. Can they still issue a warrant?" Ryan adjusted his chair and lay down comfortably. "We are doing things according to the rules. No one can find fault with it. Even I asked for leave properly."
Of course, the higher-ups definitely want to monitor them, but Sakura and Ryan are both stealth experts, which is why he didn't let Kevin help.
Sakura was strong enough and secretive enough to be a killer, and she didn't want to reveal her sister's location.
rule?
Sakura glanced at Ryan, who looked very pleased with himself, and knew that this man was plotting something again. For example, the information about Honkai beasts that Dr. Mei had hacked out of the Intelligence Department, what kind of rules was this?
Fortunately, the two of them had worked together once before, and that kind of complicated situation could be easily resolved, and this time was no exception.
Ryan noticed the gazes, but didn't think much about it. If the higher-ups suspected his whereabouts, he could just ask Mei and Mebius. As for the future, it would be easier. If I encounter a Honkai beast, I can't just sit there and wait to die.
We are all working for humanity, so it doesn't matter who gets it, right?
"Do you know why I asked you to join the Fire Moth?"
"Can I play my best role?"
"This is just one of the reasons. I want to test their bottom line. Just like I don't want to fall out with the Fire Moth, they don't want to be my enemy either."
Ying withdrew her gaze and showed some approval. When she arrived beside Dr. Mei, she realized that Ryan's power was not weak.
There was no exchange of interests, nor blood oath, but what held this group together was something more solid -
ideal.
Fighting for the survival of mankind, with this belief, there is no need to form factions based on interests. It is like a ripple from the inside out. Over time, it will slowly affect the young and vigorous members of the Fire Moths and all humans who are unwilling to admit defeat.
'People like me who walk in darkness cannot escape.'
She wanted to create a safe world for Ling, so Honkai had to be eliminated, and Ryan didn't even need to use any tricks.
The car sped along the exquisite streets and soon stopped under a tall building somewhere in the city center. Ryan adjusted his seat and looked out the window. He could see that the conditions here were quite good.
There was a garden not far away, with several children running around on the lawn and their parents standing by. It was no different from before the third collapse.
"here it is?"
"It should be considered my home. You've helped so much, you should come and see it." Ying unbuckled her seat belt and opened the car door.
He is really an honest person.
Ryan was indeed surprised, but then he realized that Ying had no intention of hiding her sister, so there was no need for her to hide.
"Please wait for me for two minutes."
Ying was a little confused and had to wait patiently. Not long after, Ryan came back with a huge rabbit doll in his hands.
The girl was slightly startled. It was hard to equate this appearance with the horrific scene in her mind. Even if there was that last incident, it only proved that Ryan had a weird habit, but it could not deny his strength.
The poisonous pupae were crushed to death one by one like stink bugs, and all the senior members of the Fire Moth who were full of old foxes were tricked by him.
But when the man holding the doll approached, the slightly widened purple eyes returned to normal and he bowed slightly.
“You’re thoughtful.”
"You can't come empty-handed when you visit someone. This is basic etiquette." Ryan didn't care. Seeing Ying hesitated to speak, he smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a weird person. The last misunderstanding was all because of Mebius."
"Her stuff?"
"Yeah, Mei must have said a lot of bad things about her. That person is even more weird than Wei Wei. You know how painful it is for me, right?"
The two walked into the apartment elevator and Sakura pressed the button for the fifth floor. As the elevator went up, she couldn't help but cough lightly.
"You and Dr. Mobius are a match made in heaven."
How many times have you heard something like this?
Ryan rolled his eyes and whispered, "Are you saying I'm a weirdo too?"
"No, no, I can't thank you enough. Dr. Mobius may be a little weird, but she is a great beauty."
Perhaps because she was about to see her sister, Ying was not as reserved as usual. When she arrived at room 502, she used her fingerprint to unlock the door.
"Ling, I'm back."
The voice was very gentle, not at all as cold as usual. Ryan heard the sound of footsteps, and a girl about eleven or twelve years old, also with long pink hair, rushed out from the inner room barefoot.
"elder sister--"
With a coquettish voice, she pounced on Ying and buried her face in her sister's arms, rubbing it as if she was washing her face. As she was washing, she felt something was wrong.
"Hey, who is he?"
There was a hint of alertness in the girl's deep blue eyes, as well as a maturity that did not belong to her age.
"This is......."
"I'm your sister's colleague, my name is Ryan. Here, this is a gift." Ryan took over the conversation casually, bowed slightly, and handed the doll over, "Ling, you are really smart and obedient. I heard from your sister that you are also very good at studying and you especially love to work."
He was wearing a black windbreaker and frameless glasses, looking harmless.
"Sister, do you really say that to me?" Ling held the doll and looked at the dazed Sakura. The latter was stunned for a long while before nodding subconsciously.
"Great! Mr. Ryan, I'll get you some slippers."
The girl was so happy that she took out the slippers diligently and placed them neatly.
"Welcome to my home. Wait a moment. I'll make tea right away."
Ling held the doll, swinging her thin legs, and disappeared into the corridor. Ryan stepped into the entrance with a smile, and his hand was held by Ying again.
"Wait, I never mentioned bells."
She admits that she loves to work, but she is good at studying? Even Ying is embarrassed.
