The fight was brief and ended in an instant. When skills were combined with overwhelming force, the result would only be the purest crushing.
Sakura sat on the ground, still a little dazed. The head of the Cocoon was just stepped on to death. It was no different from the black mask before. Looking at Ryan's expression—
"You don't seem happy?"
"Well, this Xiao is a talent and shouldn't have died in my hands." Ryan shook his head slightly. He participated in the Mantis Program and came to the conclusion:The strong are born to be strong.The more special abilities a person has, the higher the success rate of fusing a higher-level Honkai beast. For example, this Owl, as long as he chooses a suitable Emperor level Honkai beast, will not be weaker than the Thirteen Heroes, and will most likely become a big shot in a technical school.But he died so worthlessly in his own hands that one could not help but feel a little tired.
"These idiots from the Fire Moth are wasting resources. Many heroes have died before they could grow up, and many have fallen at the hands of their own people."
Sakura didn't understand what Flame-Chasers was, but she knew that Xiao was stronger than herself. The question that had been lingering in her mind seemed to have an answer.
"So you want to put an end to this internal conflict, and that's why you want to save my life?"
"Otherwise, is it because of my appearance and figure that I am so vulgar in your eyes?"
Sakura choked, but knew that Ryan was telling the truth. This man had his own plans. Gender and appearance were not important at all. She was able to survive only because of the plan of the "Thirteen Flame-Chasers."
Ryan's doubts were answered, but the dust still did not dissipate. He stood there for a moment and felt that the time was about right.
"Let's go. I've already chosen the person to take the blame. Once Vil-V finishes delivering the data, I'll go and kill all those bastards hiding behind the scenes. This will be the first step in purifying the Fire Moth."
"That person is not dead yet?"
"It's not that easy. He followed the scent right away. It's very troublesome to be entangled by him."
Sakura looked at the man who bent over, stretched out his right hand, hesitated for a moment, and then shook hands tightly. She didn't think about how someone could survive after eating space-based weapons, but only thought about the other party's plan.
"Can I participate in your purification?"
The incident is over, and as long as all the masterminds behind it are killed, Ling will be safe, but Sakura is smart. She knows that these are just breezes, and the real cloud is the collapse.She didn't quite understand it before, but when she saw that such a powerful existence as Ryan was racking his brains to deal with the Honkai, it seemed that this thing was really the Judgment Day for all mankind as those sects said.
"What are your conditions?" Ryan picked her up, feeling the touch of the tights, and slowly accelerated toward the ground.
Sakura was not at all shy about her posture and answered seriously, "Shelter Bell, and survive this sad age."
A strange feeling came over Ryan's mind. Mei should have been the one to accept this promise. Of course, Mei did not keep it. In this era, no one can control his own destiny, let alone protect others.
"Why me?"
Sakura glanced at the dust going away behind her and saw that the Cocoon had sensed something was wrong and was turning around to give chase.
"Because you are strong enough and trustworthy enough."
Ryan could have retreated first, but he stayed to save her. In her opinion, this reason was enough.
Are you so confident in me?
Ryan glanced at the girl in his arms. In fact, they didn't have much personal relationship. Her purple eyes were as sharp as a knife. He understood the value of Sakura. This was an unparalleled sharp knife. After being mastered by Mei, she did a lot of evil things for her.
I originally wanted to speed up the process and let Mei continue to take the lead, but now it seems that I have to take the blame?
It was a bit ironic and tiring. He thought about mingling with so many heroes and let out a breath of air.
Who cares? Just do as much as you can.
"Okay, deal done."
The Cocoon never caught up in the end. They were completely unable to follow the receding figure and could only find the leader's twisted corpse.
Some people hurriedly notified the follow-up troops, while others rushed to rescue their own leaders, and were in a state of panic.
Bang!
A Cocoon exploded into a bloody mist on the spot, and the scattered iron pieces knocked down several people around. They turned their heads stiffly and saw a naked man standing next to them.
His body was charred, and white smoke was coming out of it. His left arm was twisted as if it had been broken by something. He was seriously injured, and even the mask on his face began to break and fall off. But for some reason, none of the Cocoon felt like looking directly at that face.
The world was eerily silent until Kalpas raised his hand and squeezed out a word from between his teeth.
"Die!"
Columns of smoke bloomed in the distance, the autogyro flew into the sky and was torn down by brute force. The last image left for the pilot was a kiss with the earth.
Hiss... Kalpas' anger is off the charts.
Ryan grinned, and there were also five corpses of Cocoon beside him, but each of them had a knife scar on the neck.
Sakura walked down the street and confirmed that the small town was completely silent. There was a massacre of Cocoon in front and another massacre of Cocoon behind. This nameless little town was really unlucky.
"Everything solved?" Ryan turned his head and saw Sakura nodding slightly, and also showing a gentle smile.
Final stage completed.
Even though there was the accident of Kalpas, all the witnesses died, and he still never showed up. Kalpas was even blamed, and the Fire Moth would target him.
White hair, masked man, bad temper, these characteristics don't match Ryan at all.
"How can I be equated with him when I am a mild-mannered and reasonable person?"
Even Sakura rolled her eyes when she heard this. It sounded a bit shameless, and with his shirtless body and blood all over his muscles, he looked murderous no matter how you looked at him.
"Aren't you worried about him? If you want to deal with Honkai, he is also a talent."
"Kalpas is not stupid. He will run away after killing the Cocoon. The Fire Moth is even more stupid. How could he waste his fighting power in vain?"
Sakura took a breath, the special genius clause required the Fire Moth to monitor and restrain the 'superpowered', however, monsters could break through the restrictions of geniuses, just like the man in front of her. If he didn't want to join, who could force him?
"Then you have offended him too much."
"Hahaha, Kalpas only listens to those with harder fists. When the time comes, I'll pin him to the ground and he'll eventually give in."
"But you are no match for him."
"Sakura, don't let your imagination run wild." Ryan looked at the girl with a gentle smile on his face. "When did you get the illusion that I had reached my limit?"
There is no strongest, only stronger?
Sakura saw Ryan jump off the roof, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly followed him.
Vil-V also ran out at this time. Seeing Ryan's unfriendly expression, she kept scratching her head and said, "What if I say that things are not done well?"
Ryan looked at her expressionlessly, clenched his fists, and strode toward her, scaring her so much that she took two steps back and stuck out her tongue.
"Just kidding. Of course, it's done. You can trust me to do the job."
I would be relieved if that happened. Ryan continued forward in silence until Vil-V took out the data disk, then he stopped.
After uploading the data to the satellite and then downloading it from the satellite, after all the fancy stuff, it finally fell into my hands.
Ryan let out a long sigh and nodded to Sakura behind him, who immediately got a convertible SUV from the garage. This thing was covered in dust and it was obvious that it had not been used for a long time.
It is not advisable to stay here for long. It will be troublesome if Kalpas catches up with us.
"Everyone get in the car. Sakura, go and load all the luggage. You will drive later. Remember to take the small road. Vil-V, bring your laptop. I want to see what dirty secrets are there. I will make you shut up at any cost."
"Receive."
It's comfortable to have someone to help you. You don't have to do all these messy things by yourself. Ryan just turned on the computer, inserted the data disk, and began to browse the pictures, files, and videos carefully. When he saw certain people, the corners of his mouth opened up, revealing some sharp teeth.
There is no doubt about it, it was the pure-blood faction who did it. The autographs and experimental data are all there. This guy Vil-V even hacked into the laboratory data center and downloaded the surveillance video.
In fact, truth or falsehood is not important at all. What is important is that the knife in the hand of the pure-blood faction is broken, and the evolutionary faction that was framed by them needs an excuse to make them pay the price.
In other words, they were dead.
In this way, the Evolutionary Faction will owe me a huge favor, and other factions will also be relieved because their seats are vacated. As for how to let them know that this was done by Ryan, Wayne will make the contact for him.
The power struggle is so ironic that everyone will say that Ryan has never left the Fifth Institute and will reward him.
This is the unspoken rule, and Ryan has already thought of the conditions.
First, the five research institutes that are currently independent of each other will be integrated, and Mei will become the director of the research department, directly liaising with parliament.
Second, the Mantis Program will no longer face obstacles, and Mobius will be able to speed up progress.
Third, Sakura and Vil-V will join the Fire Moth, the latter will go to the Fourth Research Institute, and the former will be placed in the security department first.
"This is my biggest change to the world line. The subsequent impact is unknown. I will also be targeted by the Fire Moth, but so what?"
Since he is determined to bring the world line to an unknown area, Ryan will not look back. That step has been taken and there is no possibility of turning back.
Sakura came back with her luggage and saw Ryan sitting in the SUV with deep eyes and an expressionless face. She didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing this scene, she was also slightly distracted.
The ten-day trip left a deep impression on her. Now that she has relaxed, she has also made her own judgment.
He is mysterious and powerful, as if he has everything in the world under his control, which is enough to inspire awe in people. However, he is not like a cold-blooded executioner, and sometimes the choices he makes are not rational.
'But the pressure on people is still strong. At least it is serious enough and not controlled by desire.'
She shook her head slightly and was about to get in the car when she saw the zipper of Ryan's backpack was ajar and a piece of black stuff fell out. She subconsciously bent down to pick it up, and the delicate touch made her pause slightly.
Stockings?
Sakura blinked, not understanding why there was a pair of black stockings in the backpack, and they smelled like they were worn.
She looked blankly at Ryan, who had a mysterious look on his face, and quickly hid behind him before he turned his head.
I take back what I said before. I don't understand this man at all.
