I am the former civilized hero.

Hua Zheng was showing his father around the underground city, occasionally blushing and mumbling something, and then the rough man laughed.

......

Countless streams of information are transmitted to each other, like seamless monitors. Daily life goes on as usual, and humans are still living in ignorance.

"All thirteen important targets were captured, and the possibility of false information is extremely low. The thirty-five secondary targets can also be speculated, and the whereabouts of less than 10% are in doubt."

The horrible suppression of information meant that even Mei couldn't place spies near the Herrscher. Even if there were spies among the traitors, it would be very difficult to pass on any information.

But it's different for the Herrscher. It only takes a moment for everything to be revealed before him. In front of such terrifying authority, things like 'assassination is just a cover' and 'feint of the death law' have become insignificant.

Two percent uncertainty?

Yan Lu was silent for a moment. She still had a huge advantage. This infiltration was silent and with the cover of Calis and others, even the artificial intelligence would at most have doubts and it would take a lot of time to find out the truth.

No, even the prophet cannot foresee the fate of the Herrscher. It makes no sense, and there is no time to deal with it in advance.

The sea waves were surging, and the Fire Moth had all its subordinates in the entire Asia-Pacific region under control. Several branches had indeed stepped up their vigilance, which was also normal.

"Okay, then I will burn the remaining 2% myself."

Chapter 6: The Diva of Doom! K

The sky was turning pale and the morning light was shining on the earth. Looking out from the tall building, the wind and waves on the sea had disappeared and several warships were patrolling.

Rarely good weather.

Ryan held up his head and didn't close his eyes all night, constantly summarizing, organizing and thinking about the clues.

Now all the plans are based on assumptions, even if this assumption does not come true, he will not lose anything.

To put it bluntly, Ryan is not a masochist. If it proves that he is overthinking, it would be a good thing to let Eden have a chance to shine.

"Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, it's you who are in a hurry."

He gave a mocking smile and twisted his neck slightly, and saw that Eden had fallen asleep on his shoulder. Ryan had seen many sleeping postures, but Eden was quite special.

She closed her eyes and lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her hands placed neatly on her knees, and a smile on her lips.

Very elegant, as if you are in a painting, interpreting the definition of Sleeping Beauty.

"No wonder you have such a good relationship with Alicia. You are her favorite type of person."

At this moment, her eyelashes trembled more obviously, and her amber eyes slowly opened. She seemed a little confused facing the morning light. When the brief daze from getting up passed, she smiled.

"Good morning, Ryan, and thank you for your hard work last night."

Before she fell asleep last night, Ryan introduced her future roommates one by one, including the irritable Qianjie, the lovely Grayxiu, the serious Ying, and the split personality-like Weiwei...

"Thank you for the story you told me last night. It gave me a lot of energy today." Eden stood up and stretched in the morning light.

Ryan opened his mouth and closed it again, looking at the curvy figure and smiling. He had been alone with Eden for a night, and he didn't have many thoughts, but one feeling was particularly strong.

Comfortable, it’s comfortable to be with this girl.

Putting aside his IQ, among all the people he had ever met, Eden had the highest EQ. Every word he said was pleasing to the eye, and coupled with his natural elegance, it was no wonder that he became a star of this era.

The flattery made me feel comfortable all over. When I think about it carefully, it is more than just flattery, it is all well-founded.

Ryan also yawned, slowly walked to the edge of the rooftop, tilted his head and asked, "Does it feel strange that the city is so quiet?"

"Well, in the past, this time of year would have been crowded and noisy. You know, I like to appreciate this kind of bustle, as if I can feel the pulse of civilization." Eden raised his hand and pointed at the silent city.

"But this kind of silence is also quite good. Even if the whole city is under martial law, I can still hear the cheers of those who love me, and I can also feel the undercurrent surging beneath the waves."

She believed what Ryan said and of course understood how dangerous this day would be, but she still wore her best clothes and walked towards the stage with the most high-spirited attitude. That was her unique battlefield.

"Ryan, I have something to ask of you. If anything goes wrong for me, please let me say goodbye on this stage."

"Not really. Even if you really were..." Ryan didn't finish his words when he felt a cold finger on his lips.

"I will never be an enemy of civilization, because what I love are these beautiful things. How can I bear to destroy treasures?"

Eden said with a smile, and before Ryan could think about it carefully, he shook his hand.

"Dear sir, could you give me a ride?"

Ryan thought a lot in an instant, and in the end just nodded slightly.

"my pleasure."

Donggong has entered the highest state of alert. There is no one on the street except the rumbling military vehicles and fully armed soldiers. The Fire Moths seem to take it very seriously and have mobilized as many troops as possible in a short period of time.

This is the first time for an artist to be protected by so many people, but no one is disgusted and no one can blame her.

Eden is worth it. She has gained endless wealth and supreme prestige. Even if the world is destroyed, she will definitely be one of the last few people to die. If it were an ordinary person, she would have run away after encountering the Honkai assassination.

But she chose to stand up and face the collapse together with ordinary people who had no choice, and that is enough.

There was no luxury car. Eden was accompanied by Ryan and walked to the stadium. There was no cheering or screaming, only soldiers on guard on both sides. They were either sitting in the fortifications or standing on the top of the tanks. When they saw Eden coming in a purple and black dress, they could hardly believe their eyes.

He really came. Could he be a stand-in? Is he going to lip-sync later?

They stared blankly. Judging from the orders from their superiors, there would most likely be a battle today. Smart people would hide, just like the citizens of Donggong who hid in the shelters. Apart from all the halos, Eden was just an ordinary person.

But when Eden really came, that kind of confidence and elegance was not something a substitute could have produced, and it didn't look like she was forced by her superiors.

It was a very strange scene, but Eden smiled even sweeter and waved his arms gently. No one knew who was leading the movement, but applause and whistles rang out.

"This is the pinnacle of being an idol." Ryan watched from behind, somewhat envious of this kind of popularity. Unlike him, who used his strength to awe others, Eden's fame was the result of long-term accumulation.

But what can I say? She deserves to be so popular. Just like this, I don’t know how many people have become her fans.

Ryan also admired Eden's courage. It was not easy to be the first to stand out in this era. He just quietly swept through thousands of soldiers.

Mei obviously took it very seriously by mobilizing so many troops in one night, and no one could find any fault with it.

It's the time to show off your acting skills. Do you really think I know nothing? If this assumption comes true, this is also the best opportunity for the Herrscher to mobilize his clones.

Eden was like the blazing sun, while Ryan hid in the shadows. He came to the stadium full of satellite broadcast vehicles and saw that the big hole that was blasted yesterday had been blocked by a huge poster.

"Ms. Eden, there are still two hours before the live broadcast starts." Evela came over, followed by a whole team of makeup, photography, publicity and sound engineers.

Eden glanced at everyone and shook his head gently: "It will be very dangerous next. You'd better go to shelter. There is no need to worry about the effect at this time."

"If you're not afraid, why should we hide?"

"Yes, we can't let you take the risk in vain. We must achieve the best results."

"The theme of the concert is tentatively set to 'Before the End of the World'. Do you think there is anything that needs to be changed?"

Eden pursed his lips, looked at the familiar faces, smiled and shook his head.

The stage is the battlefield, the singing is the sword, infecting others and conveying beliefs, isn’t this what you are pursuing?

"Okay, everyone, follow me. Since the theme has been changed, everything needs to be adjusted accordingly. We still have an hour to prepare these."

She said no more, took the script from her agent, and walked quickly into the lounge area, like a capable woman.

Ryan did not follow up. He agreed with Eden's philosophy from the beginning. Just like a great man in his previous life who gave up medicine to pursue literature, art itself is a weapon.

"How's the garrison work?"

"Almost done. Throwing these troubles to me has kept me busy enough." John rolled his eyes at the other party and threw the defense map on the tablet to him. "There is too little time, and too many people have been transferred from the headquarters. We have only assembled the forces of two branches, but don't worry, these troops are enough to deal with various situations."

"So confident?"

"Of course, Miss Eden is important, but not that important. We don't need to send out all our forces to deal with her." The sturdy man shrugged and said casually, "Even if all the Herrschers are crazy, aren't they afraid of our elusive commander-in-chief? There are so many powerful people at the headquarters now. What if we destroy their lair?"

There is nothing wrong with this statement. Without saying too much, even if half of those lazy people in the villa come out, the Herrscher will be overwhelmed. At least in theory, no one can know their movements.

So in theory.

In fact, Ryan still cannot prove the existence of the Thousand Herrscher. Fortunately, he no longer needs to prove it, as the Fire Moth is executing orders according to his thoughts.

"I'll leave the periphery to you. I'll go look after Miss Eden."

"Wait a minute." The sturdy man directly pressed Ryan's shoulder. Seeing that he was a little surprised, he smiled dryly and said, "Don't worry, I won't harass you during the mission. It was the Donggong branch that caught a saboteur last night."

He gave a brief explanation. It turned out that someone had sneaked into the basement of the gymnasium last night to install some equipment, but was caught by the agents who were waiting for him.

"He just confessed a big memory recovery operation. The content is quite explosive. His identity is also very special."

"Why don't you just show me the results?"

"No, it's about the above. I dare not confirm it, but the mental detector has passed it and he did not lie." John's expression suddenly became serious.

About me? Could it be that Kevin's men were caught?

Ryan was confused for a moment, but the spirit detector usually doesn't have problems, which is very interesting.

Ryan muttered in his heart, but acted very cowardly: "There won't be any shocking conspiracy, I will be beaten badly in New York."

"That's not the case. The person is in the second rest area. You can ask him in person."

Ryan looked back and forth. The two rest areas were less than two hundred meters apart. In theory, it would not delay the protection mission. He was also quite curious. After hesitating for a moment, he followed.

This place has been closely guarded. In a windowless iron house, Ryan saw a middle-aged man with gray hair tied to a chair, his body covered with wounds and bloody saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth.

When his hair was grabbed and his head was raised, Ryan couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

It looks familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere.

He had a good memory and instantly captured a picture in his mind. It was a neighbor living next door in a hotel on the peninsula. He even specifically looked at the list of names afterwards.

“Isn’t this the director of intelligence for the Peninsula branch?!”

"Major Renfang, head of the intelligence department of the Peninsula Branch. After the Peninsula was abandoned, he was transferred to the Intelligence Department of the Far East Branch. His direct superior is Colonel Edwin."

"He sneaked into the venue last night. This is the Honkai bomb he planted. The mental detector confirmed that his purpose was to destroy the venue and assassinate Miss Eden."

"As a betrayer, please give us your suggestions on how to deal with it."

Following an emotionless male voice, pieces of evidence were placed on the table one by one. Among them was a walnut-shaped Honkai energy bomb. This thing was very small in size but extremely powerful, and ordinary Fire Moth troops were not qualified to be equipped with it.

There were also testimonies and videos, which made Ryan frown.

The evidence is irrefutable; this man is a shameful traitor to humanity, but the testimony is a little troubling.

The order was personally issued by Edwin, the chief of the Far East branch, for unknown reasons. However, based on the serial number of the bomb, it was found to have originated from the armory at the headquarters, which is extremely terrifying.

"Judging from the current situation, there is a huge traitor force hiding in the organization, which should be the remnant left by Calis. But there are too many senior officials involved, so we have to listen to your opinion." The local intelligence chief looked so cowardly that he didn't dare to write a report. Coleman was the deputy minister of intelligence, so it was reasonable for him to report to him.

Ryan was a little confused. He was indeed very confused. Based on the evidence he had, he could already start the purge and let a group of people grow potatoes.

There is no problem with the evidence, and there is no doubt about the logic. If Ryan is Coleman, he should now isolate all the reinforcements from the Far East Branch, and then send a report to May to catch the traitor.
