I am the former civilized hero.

"I just saw him the night before, and today he has become a Herrscher. He looks a bit like the Herrscher of Domination, but he is definitely not Him."

Ryan just observed every micro-expression of Tongxiu, and it can be said that it was really extreme. If he did not have the two powers, he would definitely be fooled.

Unfortunately, I am also a "law-maker", and a "law-maker" with two kinds of authority.

He placed his hand on his abdomen and looked in the direction of the copper rust. The small door was swaying back and forth in the wind, making a creaking sound. Ryan looked at him, and several thoughts popped up in his mind.

First, He did not discover my true nature and seemed to be more clumsy than the previous Herrs, which might be related to His secret appearance.

Second, confirm that His authority does not lie with any of the Thirteen Rulers and that He will not leave this snowy plain.

Third, they do not have the ability to control the Herrscher, otherwise Mei would have been exposed and it would have been impossible for them to see the other party.

Fourth, even with Mei's protection, his identity would soon be exposed.

To sum up, it was time for me to take action, but unfortunately, I failed to catch any big fish.

Ryan put on his hat, pushed open the wooden door, went into the alley behind the bar, and then followed closely behind Tongxiu for a few hundred meters.

The other party moved around in the alley without noticing, and soon opened an iron door. His back disappeared inside, and a gentle snow breeze poured in and spread throughout the room.

The basement, another mirage system, with hidden walls deep underground, looked like an air-raid shelter. He stopped. Did he finally discover something?

Ryan glanced at the little boy who walked out from the corner of the alley. He was wearing a sky blue down jacket and looked very healthy. It was obvious that he was the child of some important person.

The latter also looked at him, showed a frightened expression, and hid back timidly.

Everything seemed natural, but Ryan knew that the other party was also a Herrscher, which raised the threat level to a higher level.

There is more than one, similar to manipulation, and He must be dealt with here.

Ryan didn't know the nature of this authority yet, but he knew how terrible it would be if this thing sneaked into a city. He had to confirm it with his own eyes. Perhaps Alicia could do it too. There was no other way.

The detector can only detect a slight increase in Honkai energy, which can almost be regarded as an error. If we really enter New York, we will be almost invincible. Who can identify countless "Herrs" among tens of millions of people?

Ryan sighed that he was very lucky. No matter who the other party was, he had to be kept here. He ignored the fact that he had been exposed, followed directly, and took out his phone cautiously.

"Alicea, notify Sakura to prepare for the attack."

"Ah? Did you really meet the Ruler of Ice?" Alicia covered her mouth and sat up from the bathtub, with water dripping down her collarbone.

She blinked and wondered why she had become a jinx.

"It's not him, it's something more interesting. Don't be nervous, I have--" Ryan suddenly put down the phone, turned around and took out a pistol.

Boom!

The boy who had quietly pounced on them had his head blown up. He was thrown back several meters and then bounced back.

His hands turned black, as if they were painted with ink, and he charged forward with a rotten head, looking terrifying.

Another round of bullets fired, but sparks flew off his arm, as if they hit steel. Ryan dodged the attack by leaning sideways and kicked the drooping iron door with a whip kick.

slam-la-

The half-inch thick iron plate was pierced and torn into pieces like thin paper, and the figure jumped directly over.

It's not physical enhancement, it's shadow?

It was clearly daytime, but Ryan saw that the boy had no projection at all. Instead, his body was as dark as a shadow. Because his eyesight was so good, he could even see that the boy's legs did not touch the ground at all, but the projection of his leather boots bounced him up.

He rushed straight to the face and thrust both palms at the same time, but Ryan was faster, and his dark palms only brushed the hair.

Ryan squatted down quickly and jumped up like lightning.

Inch power. Rising dragon.

Boom! !

The fist touched the abdomen, and the pouring Honkai energy broke through the defense and injected into the flesh before these shadows turned into blades. Then a body over one meter long swelled up above Ryan's head, and with a "whoosh" it turned into minced meat all over the sky.

The alley was like being coated with a layer of ketchup, and the snow was dyed red. Ryan glanced around and saw the human body parts scattered everywhere. In the daylight -

There are no projections.

It is indeed a shadow. Is this some kind of possession?

Ryan felt that it was somewhat similar, because those people acted so naturally, there was no element of acting at all, but this touched on another core issue:

Law-abiding people should not have emotions.

Or, like the Ruler of Domination, he controlled the original carrier. When the carrier was broken, the shadow also disappeared. Then the question arises:

With such survivable skills, why do you want to stay here, and what does it have to do with some people in the Fire Moth?

"Hey Hey hey?"

Alicia's voice came, Ryan came back to his senses and picked up the phone.

"I've finished this."

"Are you okay? Do you want me to help you now?" Alicia had already climbed out of the bathtub, naked, and was drying her hair quickly.

"No, it's still under my control, and these problems..."

Ryan closed his eyes, and a joy burst out from the depths of his heart, the joy of unraveling the truth.

It's really, really exciting.

Chapter 168 You guys really deserve to die!

Pioneering is about constantly exploring the unknown and changing the existing destiny, no matter whether the change is beneficial or detrimental.

So Ryan did not hesitate to create the butterfly effect, allowing the world to return more unknowns. If he was not cautious by nature, he would have been rushing towards his own death.

The weirdness of Snow Prison Town not only did not make him retreat, but made him more and more happy. He even forgot his original goal. After touching the core truth, he was so excited that his brain was shaking.

The authority related to the shadow, the Herrscher who has never appeared, and the vague feeling of being "artificial". Everything is impossible, and exploring this impossibility is exactly what he desires deep in his heart.

Of course, as a man who follows his heart, he also asked Alicia to be ready to attack. If he found that something was not right, he would immediately start fighting and then call on his friends to join the fight.

"Interesting. As expected, the essence of authority is a certain concept. It even has the ability of shadows. Should this be called the Herrscher of Shadows? No, this doesn't look like an ordinary Herrscher."

Ryan hurried forward with his head down. According to the information he knew, the Herrscher must have been created by a strong collapse, and it was impossible for him to be artificially created in the previous civilization, let alone cooperate with humans.

I can’t figure it out. Never mind. I’d better figure out how to deal with Him.

Ryan pushed open the door, lowered his head and went into the small room, reviewing the two battles, and he had some idea of ​​what was going on.

Some are like erosion and domination, parasitizing on humans and gaining access to all memories. No, this thing is more than just manipulation and performance, it's more like integration.

As a result, He is difficult to find and can perform many infiltration and sabotage missions, and even launch nuclear bombs, but He does not possess various powers like the Ruler of Rule.

Its core ability is Shadow, and its current performance is both offensive and defensive, and its output is not very great.

Let's assume it's a clone, that's right. If it wasn't separated, the huge source of collapse would have been discovered long ago.

Ryan looked around. The room was empty, without even a few pieces of furniture. There were some boxes against the wall, and when he opened them, he could see that they contained weapons and food.

The guns were wrapped in oilcloth, there were several rocket launchers and two boxes of grenades, more food, a large box full of it, and 700,000 euros in cash.

Tongxiu made a lot of money secretly, which was enough for him to live a good life in the nature reserve, but he adapted better to this place, and then, nothing happened.

Ryan would not be sad for a speculative information dealer. If he was a petty thief, he would be moving things happily now.

thump.

He closed the box. He knew where the secret door was, but he still groped for it inch by inch, glancing to the side with his peripheral vision.

A few mice, carrying food in their mouths, squeaking, fled under the cupboard.

Isn't it just humans? What kind of ability is this?

Ryan didn't know, anyway it was very unscientific. He heard the footsteps, crying, and searching sounds outside, and he checked the wall calmly. This alone was very professional.

"Find! You must find the person who killed my son!"

"I'm going to tear him into pieces!"

The roar was getting closer and closer, but Ryan remained unmoved, fully demonstrating the professionalism of an agent. He pretended to take out his mobile phone, and after unlocking it, it was like a detector.

"found it."

There was obvious joy on his face. He pushed inside and touched the iron door. He pulled it outward and saw a dark tunnel. The door on the other side happened to be kicked open.

This ability of yours is really useful in disturbing people.

Ryan pulled out a stun grenade from his chest and threw it right in the middle of the crowd outside the door. It exploded with a bang, and there were screams.

I'm doing this for your own good.

Ryan took a quick look, then simply walked into the door, closed it completely, and turned his attention back to what was in front of him.

The emergency lights emitted a faint light. The passage was not complicated and there were not many turning points. There were metal walls on both sides and a faint airflow came from the vents.

There were some patterns painted on the wall, still the same imaginary creatures based on the church sculptures and the Honkai beasts. The lines were as red as blood, and the silence was so frightening that it made people feel uneasy.

"It's really intimidating. What is this? Is it a secret of the science and technology department?"

Ryan was too tired to complain. These people just had too much imagination. The monster painting extended forward and disappeared into the dark passage. The bright green emergency light looked like a ghost fire.

Very postmodernist.

Ryan chose to ignore it. He was kidding. He had killed real Judgment-level Honkai beasts before. How could he be afraid of a work of art? He just closed his eyes and sensed it carefully for a moment.

It's such a large area. I asked Mei to check it out. There were cases of missing people in this town many years ago. Did the research start at that time?

He clenched his fists slightly and walked forward suddenly. The authority was indeed strange, but this world also required one to contribute, even if this was a beehive.

Da da da......

The footsteps could be heard from far away, and the situation underground was reflected in his mind.

It is more than ten kilometers long, with some storage rooms and vents everywhere. Because of the cold weather, there are many rats and insects. How many of them are His clones?

Ryan squinted his eyes and saw many closed iron doors on both sides of the corridor. After opening them, he saw a room inside with a flush toilet and a bed. The furnishings were extremely simple and the air was filled with a musty smell.

Prison cell?

He returned to the corridor and looked around. All he saw were these closed iron doors. If they were really cells, how many people had been imprisoned here?

The research institute, the secret passage, the cell, some things were being connected together, and Ryan almost knew where the end point was.

He raised his head, looked at the flashing electronic lights in the dark, slowly grinned, took out his rifle, loaded it with a click, and walked deeper.

"Hasn't he found out who's carrying out the mission yet?"
