I am the former civilized hero.

Chapter 400 I am Alysia, this is my story

Not only was the situation different from what Ryan had imagined, it was also beyond the expectations of the entire Fire Moth.

Everyone was on high alert, the shuttle built by Vervi was always in operation, and Padofelice was pressed into the driver's seat like a mascot every day. She was even allowed to eat potato chips there, but she was not allowed to get off.

Various weapons against the Ruler of Constraint continuously roll off the production line, waiting for the opponent to have no way to escape and then launching a decisive battle.

This is with Ryan and Alicia as the spearhead, and a legion-level armed force ambushing behind them. Except for the soldiers going to the Far East to open up a second battlefield, the rest are on standby. Even if there are heavy casualties on the Pacific route, the Fire Moth would rather delay the time a little longer.

Countless thoughts are calculated every moment, and weapons are designed against the Rulers of Constraint every day. Life is like currency, and all the Fire Moth has to do is to make it valuable.

But soon, the plan went awry. The Herrscher of Constraint did not continue to escape. According to the news from the front, he was hiding somewhere and stopped moving. If it was not Ryan himself who sent back the news, everyone would have been worried that the Herrscher had already escaped and hidden in the dark.

There was no movement, but instead a lot of survivors were sent over by taking this opportunity, causing some people to doubt their lives and wonder what the two strongest gentlemen of the Fire Moth were doing.

"You just let them do whatever they want?"

The flickering blue light of the screen was reflected on the lens. Mebius crossed his arms and leaned against the door. He had no expression on his face and looked a little unhappy.

The big screen was recording the positions of Ryan and Alicia. The two left Toulouse and flew towards the center of the continent. Their speed was not very fast, so it did not look like they were going for pursuit.

"According to Alicia, the Herrscher didn't move, as if he was waiting for something." Mei was also a little confused, but something as mysterious as 'authority' was beyond her theoretical knowledge.

Mebius frowned quietly, but he did not doubt Alicia's position. He just asked in confusion: "Aren't you afraid that the idiot will be deceived by the Herrscher?"

The Pacific Ocean has become chaotic, with convoys fighting with Honkai beasts, and occasional ships sinking for various bizarre reasons. Recently, traces of the Herrscher of Death were also discovered.

"The one who trusted Alicia was Ryan. Why are you complaining in front of me?" Mei only needed one sentence to completely quiet down Mebius. The human think tank looked at the woman who was gritting her teeth and stamping her feet lightly, and suddenly found it a little funny.

The muscles on his cold face trembled, and he managed to maintain a blank expression with great difficulty. He actually felt that all the stress of the past few days had been swept away. Mebius was truly a comedian.

"Since you are so sour, instead of complaining to me, why not hurry up and complete the last step? Now that you are sure to destroy the Ruler of Constraint, you don't have to confront him on the front line."

Mei is referring to artificial collapse. This technology has finally broken through the bottleneck. There will be the first batch of fusion warriors as a pilot. Because the pressure from the Herrscher is too great, no one dares to activate it on a large scale. After all, there is a high failure rate of about 30%.

Ying and Hua are ready, but Qianjie's matching degree is too low, so the others have to wait. According to Mei, the longer this confrontation lasts, the better. She never thought of sending everyone into the Quantum Sea safely.

"Sour? Huh? There's something wrong with your nose. You'd better see a doctor." Mebius said disdainfully, then turned around decisively. His two long legs in black stockings moved so quickly that they disappeared from sight in a few seconds.

Mobius really has the temperament of a comedian.

Mei couldn't help laughing. Seeing that some of her subordinates turned their heads to look at her, she forced herself to hold back her laughter and coughed lightly, "What are you looking at? Work hard. Give me the third phase departure schedule within three hours. Adjust the Honkai energy storage device as soon as possible. The commander-in-chief can't delay for too long."

The Ruler of Constraint is now staying where he is and will never go offline. That is the prelude to a fierce counterattack. Ryan knows this, Mei knows this, and Alicia also knows this.

The other party is waiting for an opportunity, but unfortunately the Fire Moth has to defend Haiyuan City and has no energy to attack before the best preparation for the attack.

I just didn't expect you to go to that place, Alysia, are you going to continue digging for your 'true self', or...

Mei stopped fantasizing. She couldn't interfere with this matter. What she could do was very simple:

Focus on preparing for the battle, and then resolve everything before the climax comes.

......

The endless forests dyed the earth emerald green, snow-capped peaks could be vaguely seen in the distance, and a winding concrete road divided the woods, crossing the mirror-like lake and the bridge over the creek to the distance.

Brilliant wild flowers are everywhere in the mountains, mixed in with the emerald green. Just one look at them and feeling the breeze can calm your restless heart.

Very beautiful.

Ryan didn't like to use fancy words, and the natural beauty didn't need to be embellished. He just felt the wind blowing through his white robe and ruffling his black hair.

This place is probably in Switzerland, but it has a unique atmosphere deep in the mountains. There is a line of white words written on the rusty road sign.

"Vostok-51 Garden Colony, 20 km."

So this is the place. I was wondering why Alicia was so mysterious. Isn’t this the place where she came to the world?

Alicia, or the Herrscher of Origin, came here one night decades ago and lived here for quite some time. Vostok usually only exists in background stories, but when you really come here in person, it seems natural.

The place where angels descend should be so beautiful, surrounded by mountains, lakes, rivers, woods, and flowers. Even in the present moment of gradual collapse, it is filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, a scene of paradise.

Ryan looked for a while and saw Alicia coming back with a freshly woven wreath on her head and another in her hand.

"Your hometown?"

"Hey, how did you know that?"

"Please, I'll look at your files, okay? Doesn't it say that you were born in Vostok-51?"

Have I written it?

Alicia was a little confused, thinking that she had blurred the details on purpose to avoid bringing danger to Aunt Ceria, but it didn't matter, since Ryan was the boss of the Fire Moth now.

She put the wreath on Ryan's head, then held his hand and stepped onto the wooden bridge. Alicia had held Ryan's hand too many times these days, and he had long been accustomed to it. Even Ryan no longer felt the initial ambiguity and always felt it was natural.

The river water is clear, and occasionally fish jump out of the sparkling river surface. This seems both normal and unscientific. It can only be said that Europe evacuated too quickly, which reduced a lot of destruction and allowed more things to be preserved.

After walking across the wooden bridge, you can see a small town in the distance. It is full of small wooden buildings. It has none of the prosperity of a city. It is hidden in the valley and seems even more peaceful and pleasant.

The place where everything began, where the origin descended, turned out to be this ordinary.

It was too ordinary, and somewhat out of tune with the gorgeous girl in front of him. But Ryan thought, perhaps it was precisely because of this ordinariness that Alicia came into contact with the widest group of humans -

Ordinary people.

They are neither as determined and powerful as Ryan, nor as chaotic and evil as those villains. Some of them have never left this small town in their entire lives, let alone any lofty ideals.

Born quietly, lived quietly, and finally buried in the soil of hometown. Life was plain and dull, without any disturbances seen from a bird's eye view.

But this is the fate of most human beings. Heroes and villains are ultimately a minority. If one wants to come into contact with the concept of "human beings", then the unknown place of Vostok-51 is the best. If one descends into a war zone and often sees the evil of this world, or descends into a monastery and is filled with kindness, will Alicia be what she is now?

"Are you a little disappointed?" Alicia suddenly spoke, her tone a little low.

Ryan, who was simulating two lives, turned around and asked with a smile: "Why am I disappointed?"

"I don't think such an ordinary little mountain village could give birth to a girl as lovely as me. I'm not bragging, but according to Aponia's theory, I'm the daughter of God!"

I have already thought about why you feel proud and the benefits of your presence here.

Ryan looked at it blankly, his smile gradually turned sour, and he walked to the top of the hill with a frown, where he could overlook the whole town, and then he looked from left to right, his expression becoming more and more serious.

His appearance made Alicia feel guilty. She quietly moved to the man's side and asked casually, "What are you looking for? Although everyone has fled, I know him well. Just ask me if you have anything to ask."

"Ellie, I remember you fell from the sky, right?"

Ah? I said that too?

Alicia was a little confused and simply gave up the treatment: "Although I can't remember clearly, it's probably true. This natural and beautiful body of mine was not stolen from anyone."

"That's not right." Ryan shook his head slowly and pointed to the woods surrounding the town. "With your gravitational acceleration, if you fall from the sky, you will definitely create a crater. Why don't I see it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out with a leap, leaving Alicia standing there with a question mark in her head.

After a few seconds, the girl's face turned slightly red and she raised her fist in anger.

"Okay, you said I was fat too! Don't run!"

She subconsciously chased after him, and before she knew it, she rushed past two locust trees at the entrance of the town, and suddenly realized something.

Revisiting the old place, Alicia was a little nervous at first, as the saying goes, the closer you are to home, the more timid you become. But after Ryan's disturbance, she immediately forgot about it and only looked at the 'panic' back of the man in front of her, and the familiar buildings flashed before her eyes.

Gradually, she pursed her lips and nodded slightly towards the two locust trees behind her.

"Mr. Dashu, long time no see, your daughter is back!"

Ryan didn't know if this was considerate, but he didn't like to play dumb, and his observation skills and IQ were high enough. After noticing some small clues, he helped a little.

I haven't been back for so many years that the town has long been deserted, but it has not been affected by the battle and everything remains the same.

The river that runs through the town gurgles, and the river water is led into the ditch by the waterwheel, and then sent to the strawberry garden outside the town. There is a fountain in the center of the town. Although it has stopped working at the moment, Ryan can guess that the water should flow out of the water bottle in the hand of the goddess statue.

Surrounding the fountain is a small square with many benches. One side is empty with only some wooden houses left, and on the other side is a sand pool with slides and swings.

"This is the center of the town. These wooden houses are markets. It is very lively on weekends. I often played in the sand pool over there. Uncles and aunts passing by would occasionally give me some ice cream."

Alicia became happier, talking non-stop and saying many unfamiliar names.

Ryan seemed to see a pink-haired little girl building a castle in the sand pool, and then people passing by gave her kind looks and kept stuffing her with food. The little girl was very polite and kept thanking her, and it didn't take long before her mouth was full.

Haha, it turns out that gluttony is a bad habit left over from that time.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. I've seen the traces here. The retreat was very orderly. Those uncles and aunts who fed you must be fine."

"really?"

"I promise, you have to trust Mei too."

“Actually, I already knew that.”

Ailixia stepped into the sand pool cheerfully, letting the white gauze of her clothes fall into it. She actually did not ask about the affairs of her hometown. It was not that she deliberately ignored it, but she knew that her friends around her would definitely help.

If we ask about it later, it will make things difficult for Ryan and Mei.

She put her hands behind her back, patted her buttocks lightly with her palms, and hummed an unknown ballad. Ryan followed her and secretly glanced at the unusually happy girl.

"By the way, you haven't lived here for too long."

"I won't tell you, otherwise you'll be able to guess my age!" Alicia seemed very alert, then she pounced and covered Ryan's mouth with both hands, "Don't say anything else, I know what you want to say, and I'll really, really, really be angry too."

Ryan was recently infected by Mobius. He wanted to say that Alicia should be the oldest among the Yingjies, and call her "Auntie" twice, but when he saw her eyebrows raised, he let it go. However, he had to admit one thing:

This plump and soft figure is indeed worthy of her age, with the heart of a pure girl and the figure of a charming young woman. I really want to curse Cao thief, understand Cao thief, and become Cao thief.

Then Alicia's face turned red, and she quickly let go of her hand, rubbed the ground with her toes, and suddenly raised her head again.

"How about I show you the old Vostok?"

"What do you think?" Ryan looked up and around. It was beautiful here, but as quiet as most towns.

The doors and windows were sealed with wooden bars and the walls were covered with vines. In just a few months, they looked dilapidated, but soon, his pupils contracted slightly.

Crowds of people walked by, streamers fluttered on empty flagpoles, clear water gushed out from the hands of sculptures, and some old people dozed off on benches.

It was a lively scene filled with a festive atmosphere. Ryan looked around blankly and saw a group of children playing in the children's playground. Their laughter like silver bells kept coming into his ears.

Among them was a girl with slightly curly pink hair, wearing a blue and white dress. Her face was a little chubby and she was as cute as a doll.

She held the shovel in her small hands and built the castle very seriously. Occasionally she stood up to wipe the sweat from her forehead and directed her friends in a connoisseur-like manner to transport the materials.

Is this... a mental illusion? No, it should be called mental feedback, presenting memories to me?

Ryan immediately understood that this was Alicia's authority. He didn't expect it to have such a magical effect. He turned his head to look to the side and saw Alicia's face full of smiles. She held her face, as if her heart was about to melt.

"Hey, isn't it that my hometown becomes more vivid when I introduce it to you this way?"

"You remember it so clearly."
