I am the former civilized hero.

Chapter 238: Thousand Tribulations? Isn't it just the same?

No one can catch up, because no one is a fool. Even if wearing a full set of annihilation equipment, ordinary fusion warriors will be killed at the first sight.

So they watched the two men flee into the distance and hide in the vast mountains west of Dusk Street.

thump—

The cold fist smashed the boulder to pieces. After the ice armor collapsed, Andevich knelt on one knee on the ground, breathing heavily.

His skin was covered with ice, and every breath made his internal organs feel like they were being torn apart. His eyes were red and he raised his head in anger.

"Why didn't you use your full strength!"

"Because it's very dangerous for a fusion warrior to break through the limit, I don't want to become a monster." Duwak's eyes were cold, and after a moment, he shrugged indifferently: "Besides, I can't take down these two monsters even if I use all my strength."

He sighed a little. Not to mention the Pseudo-Herrscher, the masked man was a little too fierce. He put all his energy into defense and was almost beaten to death.

"you!"

"Forget it. Your brain has been frozen and you have never thought about it. Their strength is obviously greater than ours. Why are we running?"

Yes, why run?

Andevich's aching head became a little clearer. This made no sense at all. The winner hadn't been decided yet. If he said it was just a test, it would be too extravagant.

"Why are they running?"

"How would I know? It doesn't make sense anyway." Duwakin looked at the mountains and whispered, "Besides, we are here to investigate the truth. What's the point of this chaotic fight?"

The giant was speechless. According to the original plan, they should use the masked man to lure people, capture the Pseudo-Hermitage alive, and get relevant information from the latter. However, a huge mistake occurred in the plan.

The two targets were too powerful and it was far beyond their ability to capture them alive.

"Right. Even if we kill two targets, it will be useless. Judging from the current clues, the Herrscher, the Neon Incident, and the Peninsula Incident are all inextricably linked to Dr. Ryan."

"I can be sure that he is the mastermind behind this!"

"This is all inference, there is no evidence at all, and we don't even know what Dr. Ryan wanted to do."

The two were extremely embarrassed. So far, they had not found the bodies of the two congressmen. News also came from the peninsula that 'Black Dog' had been killed and the attackers had broken out of the encirclement. Because their speed was too fast, the upper-level fusion warriors who were trying to intercept them couldn't stop them at all.

The size does not match the comparison, and the combat skills do not match. This person seems to be a strong man who appeared out of nowhere. Based on the information that Andevich and Duwakin have, they speculate:

This must be related to Ryan, but it is hard to say how much of a relationship it is. Everything seems like a coincidence. Even if the doctor comes out to confront him, he will have something to say.

Neon, I'm on vacation. What does it have to do with the disappearance of the two congressmen? Everyone knows that my ability is lightning. Did you see it? Yes, I'm investigating Black Dog, but that doesn't mean I want to kill him. There are so many people in this world who use knives. Why don't you check it out again?

The Pseudo-Hermaphrodite on Twilight Street? Are you kidding me? I have never seen it before, and what makes you think it is a Pseudo-Hermaphrodite?

Oh, so it was it that did the Neon thing, then why are you looking for me?

"This doctor is so damn cunning. He's full of flaws, but there's no way to prove them." Andevich clenched his fists until they made a crackling sound. He felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, which he could neither spit out nor swallow.

"It's quite cunning. Ordinary people can use the Great Memory Recovery Technique, but he..."

I won’t say more about what Duwakin said afterwards. It is impossible to make Ryan self-destruct because no one can beat him.

"Call for reinforcements. All clues are focused on this pseudo-herrscher."

"It's not easy to get reinforcements. Dr. Ryan is not alone. The fusion warriors loyal to the parliament all have missions, and we have to prevent those people from getting involved." Duwakin's voice became even deeper, which suddenly reminded people that Ryan was not alone.

That was a faction. Although there were not many people in it and their power was not great, each of them was the elite of humanity, and it was chilling to even think about it.

"Ms. Alicia, Dr. Mei, they will never betray us." Andevich said with his eyes wide open.

"We have to be prepared. Our mission is to investigate the truth. What to do next will be decided by the higher-ups."

"How can we investigate now? Those two people have run away."

"Of course. Haven't you seen the intelligence on 'Dusk'?" Duwakin took a document from his subordinate, shook it between his fingertips, and vaguely saw the photos of Padufils and Aponia.

"It's not just those two who know the truth."

......

Outside Dusk Street are rolling mountains that, together with the bay, surround the town in the center. These lush green areas have long been abandoned. Except for some abandoned hunters' cabins, even local gangs would not come here to commit suicide.

There are Honkai beasts everywhere, and you will become prey if you are not careful.

thump—

There was a muffled sound in the cave, and the rubble on the top of the cave fell down. Ryan, who had regained his original appearance, leaned his back against the wall and glanced at the fist next to his face.

Qianjie almost brushed past him and slammed into the rock wall, with murderous intent in his eyes, looking extremely ferocious.

"Why would you run away when you could kill them?!"

He was very unsatisfied. If he were given another ten minutes, he would definitely be able to tear the man in red robe to pieces.

"This is not called running away, it's called strategic transfer." Ryan explained coldly, and then changed the subject: "And why should I kill them? It's meaningless."

It's hard to say what the red-robed man's stance is, but the Ice-Breaking Fist is definitely on the side of humans. It's just due to limited intelligence and guided by orders. Why would he do something that would make his loved ones hate him and his enemies happy?

"The battle itself is the meaning!"

"No, it's the result of the battle that is, and that's exactly why I saved you."

"That's not rescue!"

"Well, that's why I support you."

Ryan changed his words decisively. He felt amused in his heart, thinking that Qianjie's self-esteem was too strong. But to be honest, although he was irritable, he was not mentally retarded. At least he could see the situation clearly.

"If that punch had been aimed at my forehead, I would have had to put in more effort."

He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his bet was right. While Qianjie was deep in thought, he quickened his speech: "I know who to kill and how to kill them. Those two are just baits. The real food is still to come."

"Who's the main course?"

"The Herrscher."

Qianjie was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he was a little confused about what a Herrscher was. Ryan also realized that Qianjie had never met a Herrscher in this world line.

"It's just a stronger monster that you can fight to your heart's content."

"Hmph, is this why you saved me?" Qianjie quietly raised his other fist. He hated being used.

"This has nothing to do with you. I can defeat the Herrscher by myself. As for why I support you." Ryan slowly pulled out the fist next to his face and said word by word: "I don't want to lose a good opponent. After this matter is settled, I will fight you to my heart's content."

The grey eyes were clear, not very trustworthy, but very much to Qianjie's liking, making him quietly put down his raised left fist.

"That's it?"

"What else? Are you the kind of person who would cooperate casually just because he receives a little favor?" Ryan patted the dust off his shoulders and gave the best explanation.

He didn't need to elaborate on this complicated plan and integrate the identities of the warriors, because those Qianjie had no interest at all. If he had no interest, he would start a fight. It would be better to be honest.

Qianjie thought about it and felt that it made some sense, because this person did not ask for anything in return and did not put forward any conditions.

"You are so brave, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"You are not the kind of unreasonable person, and even if a melee breaks out, I will not be the one who dies." Ryan replied calmly, walking away from Qianjie, "No one has used their full strength. If I don't care about the cost, you will not be able to win."

His tone was firm, and Qianjie's mouth twitched when he heard it, releasing a strong desire to fight, but even so, he would not take action.

Fury is just an appearance. As the purest warrior, everything must serve "winning", but the current situation is:

He had no confidence of winning, and even felt that he would not have fun, because once he started, there would always be annoying guys to interrupt, and to deal with the man in front of him, he had to get his body into the best condition.

"After we're done, let's have a good fight!"

"Well, it's time to decide the winner." Ryan was also provoked to fight, but he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

After being fooled, Qianjie refused to take any tricks, so I had to start with his hobbies to keep him expectant.

He focused his energy on the present, and once he made a move, his cards were basically revealed. After all, they were two upper-level fusion warriors, not just any random people. In fact, Ryan used all his strength in addition to his authority.

If the Herrscher doesn't take the bait, I can only admire your ability to survive.

This matter is not only not over, it has just begun. The two fusion warriors will compromise and find out the truth. The Herrscher also wants this truth.

"Qianjie, do you know where Abonya went?" He glanced at the man who was roasting by the fire.

"I don't know. She dismissed the people from the nursing home last night."

"So she stayed on Dusk Street. Well, it's pretty much what I expected." Ryan found it a little strange. Why was Abonya so sure that I would get her out?

Padua Felice can still talk about trust, but she can only be considered metaphysics.

"You want to save her?"

"Well, so I have to go back."

"And then we will meet that Herrscher?"

"It's a high probability event, but they probably don't have the guts to come after us directly. They're thinking of using the fusion fighters as cannon fodder to get an advantage."

"Huh, what a bunch of cowards."

Qianjie cursed in a low voice. He despised people like this the most. He lowered his head to think for a while, then slowly stood up and stretched his neck.

"I'm going with you. I owe that woman Aponya a favor, so I'll pay it back this time. I'll also meet that Herrscher while I'm at it."

A real man would not bother to hide, and this kind of satisfaction in revenge was within Ryan's expectations, with the corners of his mouth curling up imperceptibly.

I've been waiting for you to say this.

Chapter 239: Eliminate the Fire-Chasing Moths!

At the first light of dawn, the warm sunlight revealed a scene that made one feel cold all over.

The entire western section of Dusk Street was completely changed, even more horrific than the aftermath of an earthquake or fire, because this area was left with only the purest "nothingness", without a single intact building.

The circular deep pits were filled with the seeping groundwater, like lakes, and the buildings collapsed completely, cleaner than after a fire. Looking at the yellow mud road, the cement paved ground was turned upside down, and some car parts were scattered everywhere.

Total destruction, cleaner than the greediest scavenger's licks.

Dusk Street suddenly became unsettled. Even the most vicious desperadoes were trembling with fear and desperately looked for a chance to escape, but the result was disappointing.

The sea route has been blocked by the Fire Moth fleet, and only entry is allowed but no exit. Even if you take the risk of taking the land route, you will be caught by wandering combat robots.

These killing machines controlled by primary AI are not as agile as humans, but they can resolutely execute orders, capturing anyone who wants to escape and killing all the resisters. The sound of machine guns has not stopped since morning.

Now no one dared to escape. They just stayed where they lived, waiting for the equally scared gang members to come and search their houses. The streets were also filled with wanted posters, and when bounty hunters saw the numbers on them, greed immediately replaced fear.

"I have 30 million euros, Qianjie has 30 million euros, and Padufils has 20 million. Is this Aponia? Why is there no photo?"
