Whether it was a dream or waking up from a dream, Ryan himself actually had no answer.
The ruined school was intertwined with the peaceful daily life a few hours ago, making it hard to tell which side was the dream. The world took a sharp turn for the worse without any warning, leaving no one able to guess where the end would be.
Kevin, who was always optimistic, also fell silent. Fools usually have sharp intuition, and he seemed to feel that this was just the beginning.
"Ryan, is this the real world?" After being stunned for a long time, he finally opened his dry lips.
"Whether before or after, your eyes will not deceive you. They are the real world." Ryan paused, without any arrogance, "What matters is what you want to do and how you are prepared to face it."
Kevin fell into deep thought, and Ryan just patted him on the shoulder and walked away quietly. After a few years of getting along with each other, he knew that Kevin was an outgoing, sunny and strong person. This little thing would not make him panic, let alone turn him into a madman.
So how much pain did he go through in later generations to almost become a living dead?
"You have to talk him through it more, Mei."
"Kevin is not a naive person. He should be able to figure it out."
"But he is too sentimental. If you die, Sue and I will die. Guess what he will become?"
Mei stopped talking immediately and just looked at the man in front of her. After a long while, she replied, "I think he will continue to move forward with our wishes."
As expected of a couple, they understand each other very well. Yes, Kevin is the kind of person who likes to carry on with everything, and he is also easily influenced by the people around him, changing from extremely enthusiastic to extremely cold.
"Okay, let's not talk about such heavy topics. With me here, Kevin Mei not become like that." Ryan smiled and waved his hand, dragged the small stool over and sat down, "What are you going to do next? If you want to go back to your previous life, I can help coordinate it. You can go back after signing a confidentiality agreement or something, and then just keep your mouth shut."
"As if nothing happened? You were the one who said you woke up from the dream."
"Hahaha, you can pretend to be asleep even if you wake up from a dream. There is no conflict." Ryan laughed, then looked at the girl in front of him who didn't smile at all, and became serious again, "It seems that my question is unnecessary. You have already made up your mind."
Mei is not a naive girl. Her long-term research has obtained some evidence, and her research on imaginary space is even of interest to the Fire Moth.
The girl's eyes fell on the medical vehicle, where there was a fire moth logo, and she said to herself: "Some people say that people cannot change the world, they can only change themselves to adapt, but I don't believe it, I just want to change the world back."
Mei eyes flashed with ambition and confidence, which made Ryan smile bitterly.
Well, it's not surprising. A genius like Mei would never just go with the flow.
"What about Kevin?"
"He, he should follow me, you know he thinks too much, always worrying about this and that." Mei was obviously a little hesitant and pursed her lips, "But I don't want him to follow, can you persuade him?"
"Forget it. I don't want to be beaten by a friendship punch. You two should solve your own problems. I can only try my best to let you survive to the end."
"Oh? That sounds like the words of a savior."
"Don't put me down. I have to do as much as I can. Besides, I'm just a researcher who can't even lift a finger." Ryan pulled out a pair of frameless glasses from somewhere and put them on. He slowly stood up. "Someone is coming from the Fire Moth headquarters. They want to invite you to join officially."
Researcher? The researcher who demolished the teaching building?
Mei didn't know where to start complaining, so she had to turn around and saw a man wearing sunglasses and a neat suit in the shadows. The word "agent" was written all over his face.
The man noticed the gaze, bowed slightly and made a 'please' gesture.
Can we finally understand the truth about this world?
Mei looked at him, not nervous nor afraid, but full of excitement, and a sense of mission that penetrated from the bones.
"Kevin, come with me."
"Oh, okay." The young man came back to his senses, looked at the Fire Moth with some wariness, and then held Mei hand.
The two of them just left like that, leaving the range of the campfire and disappearing into the dark night. Ryan watched from behind and saw that they had never let go of each other's hands.
Why, I suddenly feel full.
Ryan couldn't help wiping his face after being caught off guard by a mouthful of dog food. To be honest, sometimes he envied these two handsome guys because at least they wouldn't be alone when they encountered misfortunes in life. However, this envy was fleeting.
"My power is not enough to protect too many people, and now a new mystery has emerged."
After calming down, Ryan thought about the process of this disaster. Was it the particle collision experiment that caused the Honkai, or was it the Honkai that caused the failure of the experiment? If the Honkai was caused by the experiment, did it have anything to do with the fact that I was very close to the collision point?
Countless pieces of information flashed through Ryan mind. He stretched out his hands to warm the campfire, standing like a statue, his brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.
He has developed a habit of making bold assumptions and carefully verifying them over the years. He laughed when he thought about it.
"It is enough to arouse my attention and suspicion, but I can't find any basis to prove it, unless I conduct more than ten similar experiments, which is impossible."
There are less than ten large particle colliders in the world, and he can reach the conclusion that the Fire Moth can also find out that something is wrong. If it finds out that it can attract Honkai, it will definitely be humanely destroyed.
"Forget it, let's put this question aside for now. Even if I know the conclusion, it won't change anything. But what I gained this time..."
Ryan closed his eyes and focused all his attention. In a trance, he seemed to see an invisible road breaking through the sky and reaching the sea of stars.
Exploration, understanding, establishment, connection, every detail of the battle with the Honkai Emperor came to his mind. Ryan had a strange feeling, as if he had turned into that Honkai beast and sensed an indescribable space.
This feeling...
His fingers moved slightly, and then he opened his eyes. His pupils shrank because of the bonfire in front of him, and in an instant, the corners of his mouth curled up.
Click.
A red arc flashed in the campfire, and a broken log was shattered in the middle, as if it was cut by a blade of energy.
"Another step forward. Next, we should find a secluded place to slowly digest this power and use it in the next exploration."
He slowly clenched his fists, inadvertently thinking of Mei words.
"Does she want to change the world back? I'm not that greedy, but I'm slowly gaining this power."
When you are poor, you should just take care of yourself. Ryan was very clear about his future. Before he could think about it, footsteps were heard from behind him again.
"Kevin?"
He didn't expect that this guy would come back and walk straight through the blockade. He stuffed something hot into his hand, and when he looked down, it turned out to be a bucket of instant noodles.
"I suddenly remembered that you didn't have dinner tonight, so I asked the soldiers for some. Eat it while it's hot."
Still a human being.
Ryan stared at him blankly for several seconds before coming to his senses: "You have also joined the Fire Moth?"
"Well, they agreed. It's a pity that I can't stay with Mei. I have to go to some recruit training. Don't worry, I won't lose to you. Just leave your back to me."
The young man's confusion was gone, and he became his usual optimistic and sunny self again. Ryan moved his mouth, but didn't know how to answer him.
"Eat quickly. I have to go now. Work hard. The major said I'm very qualified. Don't let me surpass you!"
After saying that, Kevin ran away and disappeared into the night, leaving Ryan stunned.
This guy actually became so bad-tempered. He's obviously just a rookie.
Ryan didn't know what to say. He just felt the night wind was very cold, but his hands were warm, and through his shirt, his chest also became warm.
He suddenly felt that he was very lucky tonight. Not only did his strength become stronger, but he also seemed to have figured out a new truth:
It would be meaningless if I had to survive alone until the end.
...
Buzz buzz buzz.
The riding experience on a military transport plane is not pleasant. The dull sound of the propeller makes people feel uneasy, and the hard seats and bumps make people's buttocks ache.
"Hey, why didn't you take a commercial flight earlier? The doctor insisted on hitchhiking to save money." Blanca rubbed her plump buttocks and raised her head quietly. Dr. Mebius was in a bad mood since he got on the plane.
On the one hand, the riding experience was too bad, and on the other hand, Miss Elysia asked questions like a curious baby, from lift structure to cloud principles. Mebius was too lazy to answer such elementary school questions.
Blanca looked up and saw Mebius reading a report. She raised her eyebrows at first, then showed some interest.
"I knew there must be something wrong with that guy. He even killed the Honkai Emperor. It's really interesting."
"Mobius, you're so noisy. Do you really want to chat with me?" Elysia rubbed her eyes and found that Mobius was actually smiling at her, which was so rare.
"Elysia, I have to thank you. If I hadn't gone to Changkong City with you, he would have run away again."
"Doc, what happened?"
"This is the report from the Far East Branch. Take a look for yourself. I didn't expect that I would be so lucky. Even Mei has joined the Fire Chaser Moth."
Blanca ignored the doctor and picked up the document. It was indeed a report from the Far East branch. It detailed the Honkai of Chiba Academy and included some photos of the people involved.
Ryan, Mei, and Kevin all exist, but Mebius doesn't take Kevin seriously and only cares about the first two people. Not to mention Ryan, Dr. Mei is also a rising star that she values.
This is the nth time that Honkai has happened around him. How could it be such a coincidence?
Mebius looked at the sea of clouds outside the window and couldn't help laughing. She was a very persistent person. The more something was forbidden to do, the more she cared about it.
Alicia also stuck her head out to take a look, and saw several photos of people and a piece of ruins. She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly clapped her hands.
"not good."
"What's wrong with you again?" Mebius turned her head to look. She hated being interrupted the most.
"Sora is also in Changkong City. I remember he is still in school. Could he be from Qianyu Academy? No, I have to contact him." The girl eyes were full of worry.
Thinking about this weird thing again.
Mobius found it hard to understand and started to think on his own.
Even the Far East Branch cannot be trapped. He must have a deal with the people above him. There is no way to follow the normal procedures.
Then use some extraordinary means? No, according to the minimum strength, even the Emperor of Honkai can be killed, at least hundreds of troops must be mobilized. How can I have the authority to mobilize the army?
As a researcher, she really did not have the force to suppress the other party. If she used some shady tactics, she was worried that her superiors would list her as a defector. Without the funding from the Fire Moth, how could she explore the truth?
Just when she had a headache, she caught a glimpse of the girl opposite her. Alicia was sending messages at a very fast speed, expressing her concern for her friend.
friend?
Mebius was stunned, and immediately had an idea.
Yes, my experiment has reached a bottleneck, so I went to Changkong City for a vacation. You don't allow me to study him, could it be that -
Can you still not let me be "friends" with him?
