I am the former civilized hero.

Thinking of this, he tightened his grip on the teacup slightly. After just two or three days, he had gotten used to his current life.

Leisurely, peaceful, and without any disturbances, it quickly calmed the huge waves that occurred when he captured the Fire Moth. That's why he sometimes felt a bit listless.

"After so many adventures, I hope this kind of life can continue for a long time. Humans are really lazy creatures." Ryan took a sip of tea, and after swallowing, his eyes became sharp.

"But Honkai won't let me live such a comfortable life. Calculating the time, the Eighth Herrscher is about to arrive."

According to Skynet's detection and estimation, Ryan could roughly infer the time when the Herrscher would arrive, so Mei also strengthened her realm.

If it's the Ruler of Consciousness, it will be a bit troublesome. This guy is a spiritual authority, but there is no need to worry too much. At worst, we can just gang up on him. There are many spiritual fusion warriors anyway. Once they know the nature of authority, they can set a trap.

Since he was a psychic fusion warrior, he suddenly thought of Su and felt that it was time to bring this good friend into the group. Then his thoughts diverged, and he thought of Kevin from Su. He looked up at the wall clock and it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

"Mobius is not coming back today. I wonder if he will perform surgery on Qianjie directly."

This is certainly inappropriate. Ryan is now focusing on the success rate, so there is really no need to gamble. If he really wants to consider combat effectiveness, he might as well kick Kevin into the fire pit.

That shouldn’t be the case. Since Blanca is here, she will definitely come back to visit.

Ryan frowned subconsciously. He had been a little uneasy these days. He reached for the phone on the table. As soon as he touched it, he stood up as if he was electrocuted.

Earthquake? No.

The slight tremor under my feet only lasted for a short moment, which was not normal.

Before he could react, the bathroom door opened and Sakura, wrapped in a bathrobe, rushed out with a knife in hand.

Water droplets were sliding down her thighs, her pink hair was wet, and her beautiful figure was exposed, but at this time no one had any extra thoughts, and the two just looked at each other.

"Have everyone get dressed, seal off the entrance, and leave someone to guard the house."

"Yes."

There was no sloppiness, and Sakura didn't feel abrupt. She was ready to fight at any time. When Hua rushed out of the bathroom for the second time, she only saw the gently shaking window.

"Something happened?" The girl pursed her lips and subconsciously looked towards the kitchen, where dishes were still piled up. Half an hour ago, she was still helping Mebius wash the dishes while cursing.

"Well, you haven't forgotten what kind of world we live in."

Looking at the cold assassin, Hua felt a little confused. This week had been too easy, just like he was back in school. He even began to plan how he could be alone with his senior brother.

But as Sakura said, the enemy will not greet you, let alone give you time to prepare mentally, just like the third Honkai Impact suddenly comes.

She took a breath of warm air and shook her head solemnly.

"I haven't forgotten, and I dare not forget."

Chapter 291 Prometheus??

Ryan shuttled through the night, just like lightning passing through the sky, but his frown never relaxed.

Unlike Hua, he had already prepared himself mentally for anything to happen at any time. An opponent like Honkai had no rules at all. Even after ten years of dealing with them, Ryan didn't know what the next move would be.

'There are only two laws of collapse. First, the upper limit of energy is the Ruler of the End. Second, He will constantly adjust according to the current situation.'

These two are fatal enough, the upper limit is too high, and the constant adjustments are like playing chess with a robot, every move is precise and deadly.

I look relaxed on the outside but tense on the inside, and it's not like Honkai's style to run over and give it away so mindlessly.

Ryan was worried but not afraid. He had left a dozen fighters underground. If he couldn't defeat them, then this would be the end and there was no need to wait until later.

He rushed into the giant building, kicked open the elevator door and jumped directly into the underground. A red alarm was flashing in the well. In his perception, dense Honkai energy entities were moving at a rapid speed.

Mei has already set up a tight net, and the leisure is just an illusion. Some powerful people have never moved into the lakeside villa.

Ryan fell silently and knocked away the electromagnetic rifle that was against his forehead, which scared the fusion warrior.

"Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief!"

"What's the situation? Where is Dr. Mei?" Ryan's face was expressionless, filled with an invisible pressure. He didn't look like he was just being scolded by a little loli.

"Five minutes ago, the defense alarm was triggered, and the garrison immediately entered combat mode and killed fifteen Honkai beasts."

"Wait a minute, where did the Honkai beast come from?" Ryan stopped immediately and looked at the confused soldiers. This was the nest of the Fire Moth, and theoretically it was impossible for a Honkai beast to be born here.

"I'll answer it."

At this moment, a hand covered with fine scales pushed the soldier away, and the latter left with a sense of relief. Ryan turned his head and saw a man with messy purple hair and sharp horns on both sides of his forehead.

"Colonel Kimman." Ryan recognized the other person. He was the head of the Supervisory Department. He was on a business trip when we attacked the Fire Moth last time.

"Your Excellency the General Manager, I'm sorry to come here to report on my work at this late moment." A smile appeared on the man's feminine face, which gave him a chilly lizard-like feeling.

Rank comes from seniority, and this man himself is not a high-level fusion warrior, and Ryan certainly won't be too gentle with people other than friends.

"Just report to Dr. Mei. Do it as you go."

Ryan turned and walked away, passing by a blood-stained corridor where several tank-class Honkai beasts lay dead, the alloy walls were dented, and some researchers in white coats were scattered around.

As a veteran, Kimman's report went straight to the point, and just a few sentences allowed Ryan to understand the cause and effect.

It turned out that these Honkai beasts escaped from Mobius' laboratory. There was an explosion in the material storage area, and these monsters broke free from their restraints and were beaten to pieces by the soldiers who rushed over after hearing the news.

"The material storage area has Class A protection. How could an explosion occur?"

"The specific cause of the accident is still under investigation, but here is a surveillance video you can take a look at first."

Kimman handed over a tablet with surveillance footage on it. Ryan took a glance and saw a middle-aged man in a white coat entering with his authority, and then expanding like a balloon in front of the gate, with blood and flesh exploding all over the sky.

Self-destruct?

He was confused for a moment. What reason would this person have to self-destruct? He had some impression of this person, as if he had seen him in the research department.

But Mei personally did the background check on each researcher, so why would he risk his life to mess things up? What would be the effect of doing so?

Besides, this kind of self-destruction itself is problematic, as no one saw any bomb or anything like that at all.

He walked through a messy passage. A big hole had been blown out of the protective door at the end. Fragments of various Honkai beasts were everywhere. A masked man was leaning against the wall.

Mobius has a rich material library and is quite strong. He even has several Honkai Emperors, but all of these monsters were torn to pieces, leaving no room for defense.

There was a big hole in the ceiling, and the steel plate was directly torn apart. It was probably this heavy blow that woke Ryan up.

"Are you here?" Qianjie put down his hands that were folded across his chest and glanced at the purple-haired man, who tactfully said goodbye.

"Well, I didn't expect to encounter such a thing." Ryan was also a little helpless. He ran here excitedly, but there was no powerful invader. "It's very strange. There is no point in doing this. Even if it is a buried assassin, it's too wasteful to do this."

Ryan really couldn't understand how many lurkers of this level there could be. Even if they wanted to cause damage, they should have targeted key areas.

"Who knows? Maybe he just doesn't like that woman!"

"Keep your voice down. Aren't you afraid that Mebius will bear a grudge against you and add something to your super transformation surgery?"

"If she has the guts, just add it." Qianjie snorted disdainfully, then put his hands in his pockets and disappeared into the corridor.

Although he talks tough, his body is quite honest. He is still afraid of being remembered by Mebius.

Ryan chuckled and walked into the broken door. He saw Mebius standing quietly in the middle of a group of monsters. She seemed very silent, but her annoyance and unwillingness were about to overflow.

The heavy losses, coupled with the cost of repairs, certainly made Mebius, who was suffering from poverty, very angry.

"What were you doing when the attack happened?" Ryan asked.

"I analyzed the barbarian's cells and found that there was something wrong with his genes. I'm secretly happy about it." Mebius said without turning his head.

Sure enough, there is something hidden behind it.

Ryan knew that Qianjie was a man from heaven, so he wondered why Mebius suddenly became kind and offered to help him with the super transformation surgery. It turned out that he had already secretly marked a price.

"And now you can't feel happy anymore?"

"If you come here to make sarcastic remarks, get out of here. I'm already annoyed." Mebius turned his head and gave Ryan a hateful look. "This man has been with me for five years and almost became my assistant. I really can't understand why he did this."

"It's a problem. The spies who can hide in the research department have a very high level of secrecy. This is simply a waste." Ryan took a look at the corpses of Honkai beasts that filled the room. It was indeed causing heavy losses to Mebius and would also delay the research progress to a certain extent.

But it's useless. There are Honkai beasts all over the earth. If you lose any, you can just catch more. No one should be so naive as to think that a few Honkai beasts can bring about the end of the world.

Ding.

Just when he had no idea what to do, his cell phone rang. Ryan took it out and looked at it, his expression became more serious.

"Yes, I'll be right there."

"plum?"

"Well, it turns out that they were playing a feint to the east and attacking in the west. Someone even went to the central database."

Ryan was relieved instead. This was more or less acceptable. The things stored in the central database were hundreds of times more valuable than these Honkai beasts. Noticing the slackness of Ryan and the others, it made sense to activate the hidden piece.

He quickly took Mebius to a deeper area. This area was independent of the shelter and was completely wrapped in thick alloy armor. There was only one elevator for entry and exit. Even if Ryan wanted to break in violently, it would take some effort.

When the elevator door opens, all you see are electronic signal lights and dense cables. Going further inside, there is a huge void.

A black object that was at least two or three stories high was placed in the center. From the outside, it looked like hundreds of rectangular chassis overlapping each other, and the cables connecting each other were enough to make people suffer from trypophobia.

Flashing electronic lights, circles of consoles and servers form a matrix, in front of which humans seem insignificant.

This is the highest achievement of the Fire Moth's electronic technology. It was later specially modified by Velvet. It is a core asset. Without database support, Mei would not be able to manage it even if she had three heads and six arms.

Ryan saw Mei next to the matrix at a glance, and next to her there was a corpse in a white coat, who didn't seem to have any external injuries. There was another corpse in the corner, its head was broken, and red and white liquid was sprayed all over the ground.

"He did it?"

"Albert, a first-level member of the technical department, is on his and his colleagues' turn to maintain the server today." Mei said calmly, without Ryan asking, and pointed with her finger: "Albert killed his companions and then tried to hack into the server, but I was prepared, and he was just going to die."

"So I trust you to do your job, but why is it an invasion?"

"If he wants to destroy it, he can't do it. Weiwei installed an electromagnetic shield on the server, which is enough to withstand the attack of an emperor-level Houkai beast. It will be activated when a hostile reaction is detected."

Hiss, he is even more sinister than me. He dug the pit quietly.

Ryan looked at the corpse with some pity and was about to speak, but Mebius beat him to the punch.

"So the attack on my material library was fake, and the real purpose was to attract attention and then secretly hack into the central database?"

"You can think so."

The corner of Mobius' mouth twitched, and a surge of karma surged in his heart.

Why is it me again? There are hundreds of important departments of the Fire Moth. Do you really think I am easy to bully?

She turned her head away with gritted teeth and said bitterly, "It's all your fault!"

"Ah? I didn't ask him to do it, why are you blaming me?"

"If you hadn't brought that barbarian back, I wouldn't have forgotten the time and would have noticed the slightest movement. If you hadn't been lazy, you would have come to help me. That spy couldn't have gotten in at all. He stayed outside every day. What kind of commander is he?"
