I am the former civilized hero.

"What if it's really him?"

The gentleman leaned back slightly, his eyes filled with smiles.

"We will continue to wait until the day when human potential is exhausted and power waxes and wanes. You must know-"

"Our limits are far beyond those of humans!"

......

"Fortunately, I wasn't exposed, and I was able to use Qianjie to divert some attention."

At dusk, Ryan lay on the roof with his back facing up, his hands under his head, looking at the moon.

There were no clouds tonight, and not much industry on the streets at dusk. He could look up at the stars comfortably, but his head never stopped moving.

The night was like a chessboard, and the stars were like chess pieces. Ryan's thoughts seemed to have gone outside the atmosphere, standing on the moon and overlooking the blue star.

After doing so many things, the power of the Fire Moth must be stronger than the Honkai. It can be said that if both sides set out for a decisive battle, the two or three Herrschers will be beaten into pieces. Even Mei thinks the situation is good.

Unfortunately, there are two huge drawbacks here.

The first is human beings themselves. Even if the world ends, they will not truly unite. You can see this by looking back at the original world line.

Even though there are only thirteen fusion warriors left, even though there are only tens of thousands of humans left, some people are still frantically hindering them, forcing Alicia to organize the Thirteen Heroes privately.

The second is the increase and decrease of power. To put it bluntly, the fusion warriors are desperately squeezing the potential of mankind, but the population and resources are not unlimited, and will reach a peak sooner or later.

There is also a limit to collapse, which is the Ruler of the End, but this limit is too high. Even if Mei tries her best, she can only place hope on future generations.

"My efforts have only reduced internal friction and raised the limits of human beings a little, but it is still a long way from the end."

Ryan sighed, turned his head and looked through the hole to see Padua Felice sleeping soundly in the room. A drop of saliva hung from the corner of the girl's mouth, and she was talking in her sleep from time to time.

He laughed subconsciously, and then slowly clenched his fists.

It’s not enough, far from enough. I have to do more than just add icing on the cake. Even without me, there will be more tragedies, and the end will still be resolved in 50,000 years.

Therefore, these two points must be resolved in order to find a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, it would be better to stay in the underground bunker in New York and laugh with Mebius and others every day.

He is doing the first point, and it is not a big problem if he is a little ruthless; the second point is more troublesome, because crossing the end of the world is not something that can be done by bragging.

"The only variable is me. Only I can get close to the end. Even raising Kevin can't do it."

Ryan was very clear-headed, so he was most afraid that the Herrscher would refuse to fight, so that he would not be able to raise the upper limit. After all, this was not a simple upgrade by killing people, and each kind of authority required a lot of time to master.

"We must force the Herrscher out, even if it's just one person, and open up new paths to draw strength from all dimensions."

Thinking of this, he suddenly sat up and took out his phone, not willing to wait even a moment longer.

After a short busy tone, a cold female voice sounded: "The higher-ups are keeping a close eye on us. You shouldn't have called."

"You always find a way to circumvent surveillance. I just want to know how headquarters reacts to a surprise."

In the laboratory, Mei waved her hand and asked her assistant to take over her observation. Then she adjusted her glasses and answered with disorganized words.

The subject, predicate and object were all messed up, and it sounded like some new language that even Ryan had a hard time deciphering.

"Two Sword of Punishment teams have already gone to Southern Europe, and a secret team from the Intelligence Department has also set out. It is estimated that they will go to Dusk Street."

"Well, this is a raise, what else?"

"Ying reported that surveillance has been strengthened and the 'Black Dog' has also surfaced. Do you know how he surfaced?" Mei didn't like to keep things in suspense, so she answered her own questions: "He sent assassins, but they were taken care of by Ying. We learned the whereabouts of the Black Dog from the survivors."

Ryan was silent for a while, and said with contempt: "This is too deliberate."

"Yes, it is very much like a desperate person's counterattack, but it is indeed deliberate to expose it now. I think they are observing your subsequent reaction."

Mei no longer needed to explain what the reaction was. Although she had used various inducements and concealments, she could not fool Mei and Ryan.

"Such a desperate measure, even a little hasty." Ryan waved his hand, and the spreading black shadow caught a thin man in front of him. Amid the 'crackling' sound of his neck being squeezed, he looked at the bulging eyeballs.

"It seems like they really want to find out where I am."

Chapter 232 The actors are in place!

"Yes, I was wondering why I suddenly had a clue. OK, I know what to do."

In the dim basement, Ying hung up the phone, closed her eyes and thought for a few seconds, then slowly opened them.

According to Ryan, the progress of this operation has exceeded 70%. He and Dr. Mei can basically confirm that some people among the Fire Moths have established direct contact with the Herrscher.

Because the current transplantation is completely secretive, and 'Ryan' is on the peninsula, there is no need to force a test, as doing so would only reveal traces.

All Sakura needs to do is continue to maintain her identity and "do her best" to find out the truth.

"But the 'black dog' that I couldn't find suddenly fought back, and I said it was a bit strange."

The girl was silent for a few seconds. She felt that her intuition was good and her IQ still had room for improvement. The strange question she found became clear to her after Ryan's analysis.

The reason why they wanted to turn the passive situation into the active one was simple. They knew that Ryan had the ability to travel from the Peninsula to Dusk Street on the other side of the Earth in a short period of time. This created a paradox:

Why would they know?

"How can we defeat Honkai while being with these insects?" Sakura slowly clenched her fists, the murderous intent in her heart no longer needed to be hidden.

This was a betrayal and a direct threat to Ling's life, so she accepted the order without hesitation.

He had to fight back like Ryan, but he couldn't reveal his identity, especially the latter. Sakura always felt that the man was planning something again.

Are you not ready to turn against me? Or...

As a knife, she didn't think much about it, just opened the door of the room and looked quietly at the elegant middle-aged woman.

This is also a loophole. According to Ryan, he could silence the witness, but Sakura doesn't want to go that far.

"Has the matter been cleared up?"

"My people saw the 'Black Dog' with their own eyes right at the Marina Hotel."

"Is that correct?"

"I've been with this guy before, so there shouldn't be any problems." The woman nodded, entered the room, took out a map and spread it on the table, "But it's very difficult. There are many guards there, and there are also fusion warriors of the Fire Moth. Do you really want to do it?"

Ying didn't say anything, she just looked at the map over and over again, memorizing every detail in her mind. Ryan had already predicted this, but since she wanted to play him, she had to learn it to the end.

Regardless of their identities, they would all be eliminated. As for how to resolve the issue afterwards, it was not a problem she cared about.

Ying even ignored the risk that this would bring to her sister, and had only one thought in her mind:

Since it is his request, I will do my best.

"Burn all these things and hide. Don't let the fire moths find you." Ying glanced at the woman whose body was trembling slightly, said this, and turned away.

The woman held the table with both hands, an expression of disbelief in her eyes. She was not a fool. Although she didn't know what these two people wanted to do, it must be very secretive, and her existence was a loophole.

Why don't you kill me?

The woman pursed her lips and did not ask the question. She just lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you."

The soft footsteps paused for a moment, and then sounded again. Ying, holding a black long sword, walked silently through the corridor, stepped onto the rotten stairs, and lifted the wooden board.

This was a stronghold of the resistance, and it was secretive enough. Without saying a word, she walked through the entire alley and soon came to the main street. She looked around and went straight across the road to the small shop across the street.

jingle.

When I pushed open the door, at first glance, this place looked like a place selling lottery tickets. Including the boss, about four or five people turned their heads to look, with a look of surprise on their faces.

Ying didn't say anything, but glanced at the camera in the corner. Unlike Ryan, who could not use electromagnetic force to destroy entire areas, she went directly to the counter and said in Ryan's voice:

"I've been following you for many days, right? If you have any orders, just tell me directly. Is there anyone at the headquarters who wants to see me?"

The middle-aged man who looked like a boss twitched his eyes slightly and put down the phone in his hand. It was true, but he would not admit it before the order was given.

So he forced a smile and said, "Sir, I don't understand what you are talking about. Do you want to buy a new lottery ticket?"

Just as Ryan predicted, as long as I came fast enough, they would not admit their identity, so I raised the scabbard and slammed it hard on the counter.

boom--

The glass cabinet shattered immediately, guns and ammunition fell out, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Ying glanced at these dazed people and gently grasped the hilt of the knife: "Then since you are hiding firearms, I have reason to suspect that you are the resistance army."

Huh? How did we become the resistance?

The boss shuddered, suddenly came to his senses, and quickly opened his mouth: "Wait, we are..."

puff.

The sharp blade pierced through the chin and came out from the top of the head, and red and white liquid splashed all over the wall. The girl's cold eyes matched Ryan's face, which could be said to be 90% or even 80% similar.

She glanced back at the men who had drawn their guns, her tone cold as ice.

"It's no use talking more."

The knife flashed. In terms of speed, Ying was not much slower than Ryan. In the blink of an eye, the lottery shop had turned into a slaughterhouse. No one could even fire a shot.

Blood dripped from the blade. Ying glanced around and saw that all the surveillance cameras were destroyed, but the pedestrians on the road outside did not notice anything.

Smelling the strong smell of blood, she pressed her face, the light was distorted, her figure remained unchanged, she was just wearing a black nightgown, the word "assassin" was almost written on her forehead.

Then he took out his phone and whispered, "The first step is complete. They have confirmed that it was you who did it, but I can't guarantee the second step. If there is a higher-level fusion warrior, they might be able to expose the disguise."

"Do your best. It's troublesome to be considered a traitor, but your own safety is the primary goal. This operation will be difficult."

He had to take the Black Dog's head amidst heavy guards and force out information, but he couldn't reveal his own identity, just like what Neon did before.

You know I did it, but you can't find any evidence.

But the Fire Moth is not a fool. After suffering a loss once, it will definitely be on guard.

"It's okay." Sakura walked through the store and went out the back door into the alley.

"If it were a simple matter, you wouldn't need me to do it."

Ying is so reliable, definitely the most reliable teammate I have.

Ryan hung up the phone and couldn't help but smile. This girl was meticulous and it would definitely be right to leave the troublesome matters to her. He was touched and full of confidence.

There will be no problem, she will definitely be able to play me well. Now that it is confirmed that I am still on the Peninsula, what are you going to do?

Ryan snorted. From this unusual movement, he basically determined that some people in the Fire Moth had connections with the Herrscher and must have provided information.

"You can hide in front of me, but now there is a bait in front of you, I don't believe you can resist."

Adam was the bait. When Ryan pretended to be him, he had already thought of the follow-up plan. It would be boring to lure out a few human traitors. If he wanted to lure out a Herrscher, he should lure him out.
