I am the former civilized hero.

Oops, got cheated.

She tried her best to turn around, but when she was halfway around, she was stunned because a hand shining with lightning had penetrated her defense and was resting on her white neck.

"Ying, I win." Ryan leaned forward and put his knife against the girl's neck. Even a fusion warrior could not survive without his head.

Ying instinctively clenched the knife and moved her waist as if to cut off Ryan's hand. After a moment, she let go of the handle dejectedly and let out a breath.

"Sure enough, your strength is still far greater than mine."

She is not stupid. Although Ryan did not let her go, it was more like tempering herself.

This man is not only good at close combat, but if he really wants to decide the winner against an assassin like himself, he can just keep a distance and torture him. There is no need to fight in the area he is best at.

In other words, even in terms of skills, she lost.

"I'm just more proficient in my abilities. Once you fully master the power of Yaksha, the outcome is still to be determined." Ryan slowly lowered his hands, a satisfied smile on his face.

As expected of a hero bearing the inscription of 'Moment', once he has fully mastered this power and integrated his own skills into it, his combat power will undoubtedly be in the first echelon among the previous civilizations.

These words made Ying feel much better. She suddenly realized that she seemed to have set her goal a little too high.

In the past, I would be killed by this man in a single encounter, but now I can fight him back and forth. This is the texture brought by strength, as if I can hold my destiny in my hands.

"It seems that I don't need to explain this truth anymore." Ryan raised his hand. Under the action of electromagnetic force, the red sky that flew up into the sky fell into his palm. With the bright sword flower, it was put into its sheath with a 'clop' sound. .

Facing the fearful and disgusted gaze in the distance, the man spoke in a firm tone.

"As long as I gain the power of the protection bell, what does it matter if I'm hated by the whole world?!"

Chapter 132 Give her face and call him the general manager

Psychological counseling is a rigorous science. If Ryan starts to use verbal persuasion right from the start, Sakura might get annoyed. But it would be better to fight first and talk later.

Power, the power to change your destiny.

Ying looked at her open palms. Her skin was still fair, making it hard to imagine that a fierce battle that was enough to change the landscape had just broken out.

After two seconds, those disgusted looks didn't seem so glaring anymore, the negative emotions were vented, and Ryan's words revealed the answer.

"Yes, I came here to protect Ling. For the last of my relatives, I would rather go against the whole world."

Just as Ryan said, as long as Ling doesn't mind, what does it matter if he grows a pair of ears or even loses his human form?

"I understand. You really don't need to care about other people's eyes. You have already become a monster, but you are still living your own life. But why do you always help me?"

What do you mean I became a monster?

Ryan laughed in silence. He looked at Sakura. The girl's expression was firm but her eyes were gentle. She smiled and moved her shoulders.

He only provides this kind of psychological counseling to his friends. As the saying goes, time reveals a person's true character. After spending a few months with Ying, he has already regarded this gentle girl as a friend.

"Partners are for exploitation, but friends should help each other, just like you helped me wholeheartedly when I was in Singapore."

"I am for everyone, and everyone is for me?" Ying raised the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled gently. For a moment, her thoughts were clear. "Ryan, sometimes I feel like you and Dr. Mobius are similar."

"Where does it look like?"

"Sometimes you are cruel, sometimes you are gentle, and sometimes you are weird. It is hard to tell which one is the real you."

Ryan was distracted for a moment, and after being reminded of this, it seemed to be true.

"Maybe I was a little influenced by her, which is a good thing. If a person only has one face, it would be too boring." He wiped his hair and sighed, "You should treat your friends with one face and your enemies with another feeling. The complexity of human nature is really enjoyable to me."

While Ying was pondering what was meant, Ryan was already walking towards the research institute with a sword in hand, and he saw the surrounding soldiers.

No one dared to look him in the eye. Some wanted to sneak away, but their feet felt as if they were filled with lead and they could hardly move. They could only watch the man approaching.

There was no need to scare people with outward appearances, the broken Gobi Desert was the best interpretation of strength. Ryan simply walked into the crowd, came to a girl dressed as a waitress, and stretched out his hand in her horrified eyes.

It was such a slow movement that the girl almost drew her gun. She could only watch Ryan take out a communicator from her arms. There was a green light on it, and it was obviously still in communication mode.

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean to target you." Ryan smiled kindly, picked up the headset, and said indifferently: "Mr. General, are you satisfied with what you see?"

The remaining damage caused the communication to rustle. There was silence on the other end for a long time before a magnetic male voice was heard.

"Dr. Ryan, we haven't spoken in almost five years."

"Well, the last time we met, you were just a congressman." Ryan walked straight through the crowd with a headset in his hand. "Sir Karius, I'm curious why you haven't summoned me for so long."

"Haha, with your current reputation, summoning you will make many people nervous, just like I have always kept my distance from Miss Alicia."

This answer was clever, and seemed very considerate of the two people's positions, but Ryan knew that this person was very ambitious.

Treating a meal, beheading, or accepting him as a dog, none of these three options work, so why waste time embarrassing each other?

Ryan liked this kind of smart person, and replied with some emotion: "You are really generous. To be honest, I am a threat now."

"No, it is your power that makes me have to be magnanimous. The threat depends on who is targeted. I can still tell whether it is more important to me personally or to all mankind." Karius was very magnanimous and had no idea at all. It is necessary to conceal it, "I have seen your power, and the power of Miss Sakura, which is enough to make some people put their minds aside, but please remember:"

"This is a choice made from the perspective of human beings. If you cross the bottom line, the Fire Moth will do its utmost to destroy you, because you are more terrifying than the Herrscher."

It's righteous, but there's nothing wrong with it. No one is a fool and knows that Ryan and Alicia are special and fundamentally different from fusion warriors.

"Well, you don't have to worry about my position, but you also have to remember that I need the Fire Moths from the perspective of humans. I always need to be patient. If you cross the bottom line, I will re-evaluate the value of the Fire Moth Council."

There was no harsh words, and the tone was so calm that there was no threat. Everyone was stating a fact:

Collapse is the main contradiction, and internal strife will only accelerate the extinction of mankind. However, Ryan believes that the value of the Fire Council is still there.

"I understand, but I can't guarantee it." Karius sighed. There were too many things he needed to balance, whether he had the overwhelming power of Ryan or not.

"I know your difficulties, but this is the price you pay for gaining power."

Ryan didn't say much. He just crushed the communicator into powder, then spread his hands and scattered the powder into the wind.

To be honest, his previous alibi were only superficial. Some things seemed troublesome, but they had to be done.

If I really overturned the table, I would have to kill a lot of people, until the Fire Moth collapsed on the spot, and until the local branches fought for supremacy. It would be fun, but I would lose a lot.

"Commander-in-Chief? Did he put pressure on you?" Ying walked over at this time, not hearing the entire conversation.

"If you don't give him face, call him the general manager. If you don't give him face, call him to the grave. It's not clear who will work for whom." Ryan chuckled and asked in a confused way: "What if one day we are going to work for him?" Take action, will you follow?"

"Yes, I am yours." Ying answered without hesitation, not noticing the ambiguity in her words, and shook her head gently: "But you won't do it."

"why?"

"Because the Fire Moth has seven branches, thirty-five sub-branches, 520,000 employees, and millions of collaborators. You and Mei alone cannot control it. Even if you kill people and make rivers of blood flow, no one will accept it."

"It's easy to destroy an order, but it's very difficult to rebuild it. And you have always been a very responsible person and you won't act on impulse."

“Smart, killing people at this time will make you an enemy of humanity and a traitor of Honkai, but I also remind you--” Ryan blinked and turned away.

“This doesn’t mean the future.”

The man walked briskly, and had calculated everything in advance. He was not a butcher who only knew how to talk with a knife. In the vast future, there were two things that could make the congressmen become heroes who knew the times.

One is called precepts, the other is called the authority of consciousness!

Well......

While Ryan was giving psychological counseling, Mebius also opened her eyes. Her emerald green eyes shrank slightly because of the overhead light. She was stunned for a moment, as if awakening her previous memories.

I haven't slept so comfortably for a long time, it's like hibernating.

Mebius glanced at the digital clock next to him and realized that only a few hours had passed. The time was so short, but it felt like he had slept for several months.

"I'm so lucky. This side effect is not worth mentioning. Could it be the credit of that guy's genes?" Mobius touched his smooth chin and gradually gritted his teeth.

She didn't know, and the bastard wouldn't tell her, which was maddening.

Really... not a gentleman at all!

She simply stood up, pulled down her stockings, unbuttoned her shirt, then stood in front of the floor-length mirror and looked at her body.

Delicate collarbones, fair and delicate skin, slender legs, and perfect curves. If beauty is a kind of evolution, she has already run ahead.

"Human beings are strange. Sometimes they are controlled by emotions, and sometimes they can suppress their instincts."

Mobius rubbed his collarbone in confusion. Logically, he should have found the weakness, so why didn't he take the bait?

Sometimes smart people are annoying, and smart people who care about their reputation are even more annoying. How can I make them surrender while still maintaining my reputation?

Doodle.

The communicator on the wall rang, and Mebius frowned and picked up the phone, interrupting his thoughts.

"Klein, what's going on?"

"Doctor, you're awake. It's nothing. I just want to tell you that the battle between Dr. Ryan and Miss Sakura is over."

fighting???

Mebius's mind was full of questions, so he took a nap. Why was he still fighting? There was no problem with the operation.

"Why are they fighting?"

"I heard from Dr. Ryan that he was providing psychological counseling to Miss Sakura, telling her not to worry about the side effects of the fusion surgery."

Oh, just like when I helped that white-haired boy.

Mebius understood, but his brows furrowed even more tightly. This bastard is really meddling in other people's business all day long. Instead of wasting time, he might as well help me explore the super mutation factor.

Hmm, I think I understand.

Thinking of this, her eyes froze, and she finally understood why Ryan didn't take the bait.

There are too many people around him, not to mention Alicia and the wooden stake. Now there is also a killer lady. There are temptations everywhere, and it seems that his own appeal is not that strong.

No wonder he is so confident and specifically opposes me.

The more Mebius thought about it, the more he thought about it. Especially when they were in Hawaii, everyone was there. Now thinking back on Ryan's attitude...

You have no right to interfere in my relationship with him, but before I abandon him, you cannot snatch him away.

She simply didn't bother to dwell on the reasons. No matter what she thought of Ryan, this was the premise of everything.

"Even if he is made into a specimen, he should be placed in my room!"

Mobius suddenly understood and hummed, "What are those two doing?"

"Having dinner in the lounge and checking the Starlink system."

Mobius knew about Starlink. The latest detectors were placed in low-Earth orbit to form a network, and then detected the source of the collapse together with ground observation stations, but with the addition of spectrum analysis capabilities.

Want to find the fourth Herrscher? That's right, he already has enough cards in his hand.
