I am a hero of the former civilization.

Chapter 150 Ellie Schrödinger's IQ

A steel-willed, engineering-minded guy?

Alicia blinked as she looked at Ryan, who had the air of a physicist.

This isn't right. By the way, haven't you not updated for half a month? No, no, I have to hold back.

She was holding a secret, a secret that could kill Ryan. For example, that previous chapter had made her writhe in bed, her face flushed, wishing she could send him a text message telling Ryan not to be shy.

I remember Mebius was watching too; his expression must have been priceless.

Alicia's fair face turned slightly red because the pink-clad agent quickly infiltrated the Fifth Research Institute and found a folder called "Biology Courseware" on the computer in the lounge.

The newly downloaded item is truly eye-opening.

"What's wrong with you, Ellie?" Ryan was completely baffled when he saw Ellie's face change like a Sichuan opera mask.

"Ahem, I just thought of something interesting. By the way, Möbius hasn't contacted you these past couple of days?"

"I just made a phone call."

"What did you say?"

"You're being as foul-mouthed as ever, but I shut you down. Why are you so disappointed?"

"I see." Alicia was genuinely disappointed, thinking to herself that Möbius was all bark and no bite. Her eyes darted around, "But you and I discussed the novel before in Changkong City. How is it? Are you still writing it?"

Why are we still talking about this?

Ryan immediately became alert, but seeing Alicia's curious expression, he breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand dismissively.

"I won't write anymore after 'Canghai'. I'm busy saving the world right now, I don't have the energy for this. So what if I cut it off? It's no big deal."

Alicia was feeling a bit uncomfortable and really wanted to urge him to continue the story on the spot, but she couldn't bear to reveal the secret, at least not now, otherwise Ryan would be so ashamed and angry that he would definitely abandon the story on the spot.

That wouldn't be good; I wanted to see the ending.

The news was playing on TV, and Ryan turned his attention to the pretty presenter, pondering how to steer clear of the topic. Lately, because the censorship had physically failed, he had become increasingly unrestrained.

Now, I'm not only being immature, but also very erotic. I wish every chapter could be erotic, and I wanted to write out all the things that were rejected by the censors before, just to vent my resentment.

This definitely can't be let Alishia, that big mouth, know, otherwise where would he put his old face?

Just then, Sakura, who had been doing nothing, suddenly looked up.

"Wait a minute, Ryan, weren't you updating it when you were in Lion City?"

Sakura casually interjected, and then saw Ryan glare at her fiercely, immediately realizing that she had said the wrong thing.

She immediately lowered her head, but Alicia had already heard her. She sneakily crouched down by the bed, propped her head up with her hand, clearly wanting Ryan to give an explanation.

Actually, Ryan was sitting on the bed, and the view he saw was quite beautiful. The neckline of the light blue dress was almost bursting out of her breasts, but unfortunately, he had no time to appreciate it at the moment.

Calmness is his forte; he always maintains a stern expression, as if he were conducting research.

"I was writing a paper. Sakura must have misread it, right?"

"Uh, yes, it was a paper on art, and I even had to be a model for it."

Tsk tsk, actually covering for him. Oh well, it's pointless to say it now. Ryan is far from dead.

I really want to record his stubbornness right now; it will be very interesting when the truth is revealed.

"Oh, I see. I misunderstood you."

Alicia's "I understand" expression only made Ryan feel uneasy. He had already prepared several explanations for what would happen next, but none of them were useful now, which made him very upset.

She let me off so easily? I clearly gave myself away just now, but given her personality, she didn't press the issue. Could it be...?

"Look, what a beautiful girl!"

The enthusiastic voice interrupted Ryan's thoughts, and he subconsciously turned his head to see an extremely elegant and beautiful figure on the television.

Her long, wine-red hair, golden eyes, and black dress with gold trim accentuated her beautiful figure. The jewels on her chest added a touch of luxury without being overly cliché.

As a nobleman, Ryan naturally had excellent taste. You could tell at a glance that his earrings and necklace were all rare treasures. However, this kind of extravagant style is very selective. If you're not careful, you can look like a nouveau riche.

But this young woman was different. Her elegance perfectly complemented these treasures, making one feel as if these things were made to be worn by her.

Oh, it's Eden, the rich girl in Yingjie.

He glanced at the news headline, which read "World Star to Hold Concert in Lundum," and immediately knew that this was the idea of ​​the Fire Chasing Council, with the aim of calming people's hearts.

'Hmph, these old foxes are quite capable, using Eden's reputation to lure people back and escape this chaotic scene of everyone fleeing.' Ryan nodded approvingly. Actually, Britain is the safest place right now, but the people are blinded by fear and still immersed in the previous terror.

When the world's most famous stars arrive, it's a good opportunity to make good use of their fans and fandom.

However, Alicia seems to be a middle-aged man.

He saw the fairy girl staring at the screen without blinking, and even lightly licking her lips, an expression often seen on the faces of otaku. He then glanced at the idle Sakura.

Pah, you scumbag woman.

"Ryan, I've made a decision."

"what?"

"I want to go to this concert. I missed it when I was in Shenzhou, so I have to go this time!" Alicia clenched her little fists, looking determined.

"Then go ahead, remember to take two photos together when you come back. Hey, look at you, you wouldn't be thinking of...?"

“Yes, I’m taking you all with me!” Alicia pulled out three tickets from somewhere and swung them around in her hand. “Ta-da! I was really lucky with the Moth of Fire lottery yesterday. I just happened to win three concert tickets. There must be some kind of destiny at work. We can’t refuse.”

She looked like she was in a fairy tale, her face full of happy anticipation, which made Ryan frown.

"You've been clinging to me like a leech, just waiting for this opportunity?"

"No, I just suddenly remembered it when I saw it on TV. I'm not as cunning as you and Mei. Sakura's ears should really be on your head." Alicia muttered, making Ryan both amused and exasperated, and he subconsciously glanced at Sakura's ears.

That's right. Alicia's intelligence is like Schrödinger's cat; although she's very smart, she doesn't like to play tricks.

So, should we go or not?

He noticed the earphones around Sakura's neck, hesitated for a moment, and immediately felt their soft texture.

Alicia held Ryan's hand, her eyes sparkling with excitement, making it impossible for anyone to refuse.

"Ah... alright then."

"Yay! So the Eden Concert Operation starts tomorrow at noon?" Alicia jumped up quickly and turned around lightly. "See you tomorrow at noon! Remember to dress up!"

"Wait a moment......"

Before Ryan could finish speaking, the pink fairy had already fled the room, leaving him with a long pause before he finally lowered his raised hand and looked at Sakura with a hint of helplessness.

"I feel like I've been fooled by her again. This must have been premeditated."

“Miss Alicia is such an interesting person, and so enigmatic.” Sakura gently handed over a cup of tea, sat down on the stool, and said thoughtfully, “But having her around really makes people happy, like being infected by her. Sometimes I feel like she has a kind of magic.”

That hit the nail on the head. No one is in a good mood when they see such a chaotic scene, but Alicia's meddling makes all the unpleasant things seem to disappear, just as Sakura said.

Alicia possesses a magic that dispels any despair.

Ryan couldn't help but smile and explained seriously, "So her role isn't just on the battlefield. There are some things I can do, but some I can't. In a sense, she's humanity's last psychological defense."

"What if she's gone?" Sakura blurted out, then realized she'd said the wrong thing and lowered her head to peel an orange.

However, this question stumped Ryan. The man pondered for a long time, then half-jokingly revealed his gleaming white teeth.

"Perhaps even I will go crazy."

Chapter 151 Mebius is full of resentment

Just after midnight, on the banks of the Thames.

Ryan was wearing a black suit, glasses, and a light purple tie. His hair was neatly combed back, and with his already handsome face, he looked like a university professor who had come to visit for an exchange.

He sat on the bench, closed today's newspaper, and looked around with great interest.

The newspapers were full of news about the concert, along with some gossip and related information, which shows Eden's influence. A concert was considered more important than the disaster report on the Moth Chaser.

The river was not as crowded as it had been yesterday, and there were many pedestrians on the road. The large screen, which had been shut down due to the war, lit up and was playing advertisements and songs from Eden.

It's like magic; no wonder Eden and Alicia get along so well.

Looking at the group of people with their families, Ryan, as a psychology master's graduate, roughly understood why.

Humans are not absolutely rational beings. The more dangerous the situation, the more they want to get rid of fear. When they are powerless, entertainment is a good way to relax.

As the saying goes, even if you're going to die tomorrow, you still have to live today.

Therefore, the moths chasing the flame go to great lengths to maintain entertainment activities, ensure uninterrupted internet access, and prevent the financial system from collapsing, creating the illusion that everything is no different from before.

Most people are willing but unable to participate in this war. Rather than letting them cause trouble, it's better to just live your daily lives honestly.

'No wonder the digital life plan has its supporters; most people feel that as long as they live comfortably, it doesn't matter what they look like.'

Ryan crossed his legs, thinking that this wasn't bad. Just like a certain Attack on Titan, you can't keep attacking forever, right? Before the Honkai were even wiped out, the people had already gone mad.

The moths that chase the flame did a good job. Even if the world is falling into an abyss, there is still a moment of light. Those millions of administrative staff are not just sitting idly by.

He yawned, handed the newspaper to the old man picking up trash, nodded slightly in gratitude, and, not wanting to do any class investigation, glanced at the clock.

It's 12:05. Those two are late. I hope they won't stand me up.

Ryan, who was always punctual, was impatiently tapping his leg when he twitched his nose and quickly turned his head away.

He saw two pink figures walk into the park, attracting the attention of passersby. Alicia walked in front, wearing a daffodil hair clip and a light pink dress.

The white tulle skirt reached her knees, revealing two calves encased in white stockings. The V-neckline also revealed her delicate collarbones and a pair of perfectly sculpted semi-circular curves.

gorgeous.

This was Ryan's only thought. Various words describing beauty suddenly burst forth, yet none of them were enough to describe the girl before him.

Pure and passionate, as clear as autumn water, yet her exaggerated figure exudes mature charm. This dress also evokes the purity of a bride's wedding gown. Ryan thought for a long time before finally coming up with a solution.

Is this considered a pure and innocent style? Isn't it a bit too flamboyant?

He couldn't look for long, because Sakura behind Alicia was equally eye-catching.

The black dress, with its spaghetti straps that reveal her delicate collarbone and perfect curves, is paired with over-the-knee boots that make her appear taller. Although it may seem a bit plain at first glance, the addition of bracelets and leg rings gives it a unique and alluring feel.

Art, indeed. The cool color scheme perfectly matches Sakura's usual cold expression. This slightly Mrs. Joel-like attire also suits Sakura's job, giving off a dangerously alluring vibe.
