I am the former civilized hero.

"The news hasn't spread yet."

Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly and saw a burly waiter coming over. He was at least two meters tall and had a cigar in his mouth.

"What would you like to drink? Would you like to sit inside or outside?"

Ryan looked the other man up and down. His white shirt was almost burst by his muscles. He thought to himself, what kind of differentiated service is this?

"Sit outside, two cups of coffee, two cakes."

"Cake? We don't have such sissy food here. How about steak? We have pork, beef, and human meat. Choose one."

"Beef, thank you." Ryan choked, waved his hand casually, and sat outside, but when he saw that Padua Felice didn't move, he gave her a puzzled look.

"I'll go and keep an eye on them. These guys agreed to have steak, but they added rat meat, cat meat or something like that to make up the difference," the girl whispered.

"Are you sure they won't add human flesh?"

"That thing is quite expensive, so they can't bear to part with it." Padua Felice stuck out her tongue, turned around and ran into the kitchen.

Ryan didn't quite understand the relationship inside, he just found that this 'simple folk' dusk street had a lot of tricks, he was stunned for a moment, then sat down outside on the street.

He was not worried that Padua Felice would run away. The girl had the word "hungry" written all over her face.

So I pulled out a bench and sat down, watching the people walking outside. The drug addicts were like zombies, the thugs were arrogant and domineering, and the teenagers were playing and fighting, actually looking for targets to pickpocket.

This place is different from Snow Prison Town. The chaos here is almost engraved in the bone marrow. No wonder there are so many talented people here.

It is another new landscape. This is the advantage of pre-civilization: it enriches the biodiversity.

Ryan said he was doing business, but when he sat down it really felt like he was traveling. Sakura was protecting him thousands of miles away, so he didn't have to rush at all, and he wasn't even in a hurry to go to the sanatorium.

"Who knows if Qianjie is here. With his intuition, he will probably be able to see through me, and then we'll start a fight, which will ruin our mission."

In the southern wilderness of Mu Continent, he had already come into contact with Thousand Tribulations in advance. Logically, he should not be here, but fate is always stubborn, and Ryan dare not take the risk.

While interacting with the Fire Moth, find out the truth.

Ryan set the tone, and soon after, Padofelice came back with a plate of steak and coffee.

"Since I'm staring at it, this thing must be real. Hey, I haven't eaten steak for a long time."

"You didn't take the opportunity to escape?" Ryan glanced at her.

As soon as Padua Felice put the plate on the table, she was stunned and scratched her head for a long time.

"I was so hungry that I forgot about it. But you're a good person, so there doesn't seem to be much need for you to run away."

"It's because if I run away, I'll be found by those people, and then I'll be forced to come find me."

"Hey, this steak is delicious."

Ryan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He just watched Paduafilis cut the meat into small pieces, put them into her mouth quickly, and then a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

He had seen this expression on Alysia's face before, and Ryan couldn't help but cross his arms: "I don't think you are from Dusk Street."

"Why is it not legal?"

"Too happy. Look at the people on the street. Those pickpockets are only a few years older than you."

Paduafilis supported her head and quickly stuffed the last piece of steak into her mouth. She glanced at the other plate of steak and was even happier when she saw Ryan push it over.

"I am still alive today, mostly because of luck. I almost died or got caught several times, and then I gradually understood--" The girl raised her knife and fork and answered without hesitation:

“Good fortune is the friend of laughter!”

I am optimistic because I am lucky, and I am lucky because I am optimistic? This is pure metaphysics...

Ryan also laughed. This Paduafilis was easy to deal with. A meal could bring them closer. She probably also had an intuition, just like a smart stray cat that could tell which human was kind and which was a cat abuser.

"I'm sorry to drag you into this, but I'll give you an explanation after the matter is resolved."

Explain? Uh, the steak was so delicious that I almost forgot she was here to do something dangerous.

Padufils's expression froze, and she spoke hesitantly, "I'm very weak, how can I not participate in the battle? Don't worry, I will stay far away and will definitely not get in the way."

That expression was so cowardly that Ryan almost couldn't hold his indifferent expression. Fortunately, the headgear had a time delay, so it was stabilized.

"Just lead the way. I'll stay in Dusk Street for the time being and will come to your house later."

"Go to my house?"

"Well, I don't want to stay in a hotel. There are too many troubles in this place. It is inevitable that I will kill many people, but my goal has been achieved. I will try to avoid bloodshed."

But my house is very poor, and there are still a number of treasures that have not been hidden.

Padufils couldn't say it, she was still a little afraid of Ryan. On Dusk Street, it was natural for the weak to obey the orders of the strong.

Just as I was scratching my head and trying to find a way to refuse, I heard a loud noise and subconsciously turned around.

Across the street, several men and women were thrown out of their houses and huddled together to endure punches and kicks. The burly man in the lead spat and contentedly took his men to collect the property.

None of the passers-by helped, and after asking around, they just ran away.

"Is this... a patient with Honkai disease?" Ryan noticed the abnormal Honkai energy reaction.

"Well, the rules of Dusk Street are that if you get Honkai disease, you have to be isolated. You can't live on the street anyway, although no one knows if this thing is contagious." Padufils was used to it and ate meat with a plate. "Hey, it's not easy to survive in this melting pot of Dusk Street. No one dares to get Honkai disease."

"What if I get the Honkai disease? Can I just wait to die?"

"Not really." Padufils licked the sauce clean and pointed away.

"There is a sanatorium there that accepts patients with Honkai disease. It is a way out. Hey, you are not interested in this kind of thing, are you?"

"Very interested." Ryan nodded unabashedly, a smile slowly appearing on his face.

"I am a kind person and I often do volunteer work."

Chapter 221 Yes, I am a man

Ryan just said he was kind, and then on the way to Padova's house he killed three robbers, two human traffickers, and performed castration on two rapists.

So the girl, who had originally relaxed, became timid again, because this seemingly innocent and beautiful young lady was more brutal when killing people than any thug she had ever seen.

There was no angry roar, nor hysterical madness. She was too cold-blooded. Taking a life was easier than killing a chicken, and her methods were beyond human.

With a flash of black knife light, the two-meter-tall strong man was cut in half, and blood was smeared on the wall like ketchup.

She had originally planned to trick Ryan into another disguised home, but now she didn't dare to do that. She took him to the depths of the alley and carefully removed the wall tiles.

"Is this your home?" Ryan looked around with interest.

From the outside, this is just a dead end road with no residents around. It is so quiet that even thieves don't bother to visit.

It was dusk, and a few stray cats were lazily enjoying the sunshine on the wall. When they saw Padre Felice coming back, they jumped down lightly and meowed around her.

Then the girl took out a few cans, opened them, and gently stroked the cat while it was eating.

Ryan lowered his head and saw an orange cat rubbing against his legs. He was stunned for a moment and scratched its chubby chin.

meow~~

The orange cat rubbed even more vigorously, licking his fingers gently, and the barbs on its tongue made Ryan feel a little itchy.

"It seems that Big Can likes you very much."

"Big cans?"

"Well, its name is, this is the little can, this is the brown can, this is the lazy can..." Padua Felice introduced the stray cats one by one with a proud smile on her face.

“Why are they all called canned food?”

"Because when I was a kid, I almost starved to death, and Black Cat Sensei threw down a can of food. From then on, I called all cats cans."

Ryan was silent for a moment. Compared with his childhood, he was a child of destiny. At least he didn't have to struggle for survival like Padua Felice.

"You don't seem to be afraid of me again?"

"Well, if they trust you, at least you are a good person and won't kill people randomly. Don't underestimate the cans. Even if a thief runs into the alley, they will come to report it, and they won't rub their legs."

Good man, it seems difficult for me to explain that even the most brutal villains on Twilight Street combined may not have killed as many people as I have.

Ryan laughed at himself, holding the heavy orange cat in his arms, feeling the furry tail brushing against his face.

"Go in quickly. It would be bad if your secret base was discovered."

"Yes, come on, come on, White Can is not allowed in, you always treat my baby as a scratching board."

Meow!

The white cat cried out in dissatisfaction, jumped onto the top of the wall, turned its butt towards Padua Felice to show its arsenal, and then, after hearing someone grinding their teeth, it gracefully jumped onto the tree.

"Humph, the white can just won't listen. It's a pity that we don't have the conditions here, otherwise we would have killed it sooner or later."

"Do these cats make you feel good?"

"Of course, they are all my companions. Whenever I get hurt or sick, I have to rely on them to take care of me. Every time they run around anxiously, I feel stronger all of a sudden."

Isn't this just looking for someone because you're hungry? It's a conditioned reflex.

Ryan's rationality automatically gave a scientific explanation, but he didn't say it as directly as Mebius. He was not sure whether animals had spirits because there was a cat-like girl in front of him.

She lowered her head slightly and crawled in through the hole. While Padufils was blocking the hole, she casually glanced inside the house.

This is a house without doors or windows. A bit of sunset shines in through the holes in the roof and falls into basins of varying sizes. It is obvious that they will be used to collect water if it rains.

The room was dark and messy. He saw a pile of cans and boxes full of coins. On the other side were a few boxes with the words "Black Blood Gang Property, Anyone Touching Will Die" painted on them in blood-red paint.

"That is?"

"Ah, they are all borrowed boxes. I just used a little trick."

It was just stolen.

Ryan was too lazy to expose her. He suddenly remembered something and looked around the room again: "Hey, where is your wanted poster?"

"What wanted order? I'm an honest businessman and a good citizen!" Paduafilis' mouth twitched and she quickly covered the box with a cloth. Then, seeing Ryan's sharp eyes, she licked her lips guiltily.

"Occasionally, I mean occasionally I do some small things, but I won't hurt anyone, and I don't take everything for myself."

"Then why do you steal?"

"Yes, it is lending. Lend the rich's things to the poor. This way everyone will be happy. Isn't that good?"

"I understand. You're a righteous thief. Be careful. If you fail, you'll be targeted. In a filthy place, pure people are hated even more." Ryan got into the habit of preaching when he saw this kind of little girl.

"It doesn't matter, we have the boss to protect us..." Padua Felice became discouraged as she spoke, and she suddenly realized that even if she had a boss, he couldn't protect her.
