Mobius research has finally come to an end. What remains is to classify and sort tens of thousands of data. If she wants to go deeper, she has to work hard on the imaginary space.
As it happens, Mei is an expert in this area.
So Ryan refused because, firstly, it would not be very useful, no one had better theoretical knowledge than Mei. Secondly, he was completely different from Mobius and preferred to combine work and rest.
This can inspire more inspiration and prevent one from being too focused and becoming obsessed. There is nothing wrong with craving for power and knowledge, but if one only has eyes for these two things, it is easy for that person to get into trouble.
"No wonder Mobius can't recruit many assistants. This level of work is too much for a human to handle."
Ryan walked in the corridor, doing chest expansion exercises. Even he had to sleep for a whole day before he came to his senses. Then he noticed the strange looks from the people around him.
There is jealousy, but more of it is admiration, like watching a warrior returning triumphantly.
Since he was affiliated with the research department, there was little communication between them. These researchers who stayed underground all day long did not know him and thought Ryan was a student who had just graduated from some university.
As soon as I graduated, I was assigned to be Dr. Mobius assistant. This is cheating on my mentor. Without deep hatred, such an arrangement would not be made. So everyone sympathized with me at first, until yesterday...
They saw a miracle. The Mobius who disdained to interact with others was actually dealt with by a newcomer. It was simply unbelievable.
After all, Mobius was very beautiful, and there was no shortage of suitors in the institute at first. They thought that this guy was just a little cold, and as long as they licked him diligently enough, there would definitely be a chance.
However, Mobius had no interest in contacting people she disliked, and anyone who dared to get involved with him would be treated badly. Many people even suffered psychological trauma and chose to be of the same sex.
How could such a hellish woman be dealt with? So both men and women were observing Ryan.
He has a delicate appearance and a decent figure, and looks like a gentle scholar. But aren't there people like him everywhere in the research institute?
baffling.
Ryan ordered a staff meal and ate it while feeling the gazes from all around him.
As a soldier, his perception was too sharp. He could see several female researchers whispering with their hands covering their mouths, and he could also hear the gossip of some people behind him.
"Dr. Ryan is so amazing. He actually managed to deal with that Dr. Mobius."
"Maybe just send her back to her room to rest?"
"How is that possible? Do you believe this?"
There was a pause until a cold and serious voice sounded.
"But this is the truth. It's just that there was something wrong with that Dr. Ryan. He came out within five minutes and ten seconds of entering the room."
The spoon was directly squeezed into an iron ball.
Ryan turned his head and looked at the person who was speaking. This guy came to help half a month ago. He seemed to be Sene, a second-level researcher in the High Energy Physics Department. He seemed to be a very serious person in his memory, but he didn't expect him to be so gossipy.
Surrounded by murderous aura, Sene shrank his neck and looked around. Seeing Ryan smiling kindly at him, he quickly lowered his head to eat.
I have some insight. I don't think Mobius is deliberately making trouble for me. No one knows what she is thinking.
Ryan became suspicious. He was honest in his actions, but he was always unhappy when gossiped about. He was not used to being secretly spied on. Just as he was about to go back to his room, a familiar figure sat down opposite him.
Mei still had a cold expression. There were only a few pieces of sushi and a bowl of miso soup on her plate. She didn't eat and just stared at Ryan.
"For two whole years, I didn't even notice it."
"What did you find?"
"You have such a unique taste. No wonder you ignored all the love letters you received. It turns out you like people like Mobius. How should I put it..." Mei brushed her bangs and smiled, "You are really brave."
Ryan eyes twitched wildly, and when he saw the teasing in Mei eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't tease me, I'm just showing the qualities that a gentleman should have."
The girl stroked the rim of the cup and said calmly, "That's not the case. I just wanted to get revenge. Kevin and I have been teased by you for a long time. Oh, Kevin must be happier than me. He once suspected that there was something wrong with you and Su, and he has always been worried about himself."
Well, you woman are really black when you cut open.
Ryan gritted his teeth. Mei sold herself out immediately. And what about Kevin? Did he really think I was gay?
The resentment accumulated in his heart, making him hate it so much, but considering that the girl in front of him was more difficult to deal with than Mobius, he could only take a deep breath.
"Let's get down to business. How are you doing now?"
"I've read all the research materials of the Fire Moth. I have a new hypothesis about the imaginary space. With their resources, Maybe I can tear open the cracks and observe the nature of the imaginary world with my own eyes." Mei put away her smile and pointed at the researchers in the cafeteria with her chopsticks. "At least they have two doctoral degrees. I didn't expect that there is an organization that can bring together so many talents."
"Fire Moth gave me the authority to establish a research team. I will select some people from around the world to complete theoretical calculations first, and then conduct observational experiments."
Ryan nodded. He certainly believed in Mei ability. Moreover, unlike Mobius, Mei could truly serve as the director of research and promote several projects at the same time.
"It sounds like they think highly of you."
"Studying the nature of imaginary numbers is beneficial to everyone. Only by understanding the theory first can we promote the entire human Era." Mei adjusted her glasses, with an idealistic light in her eyes. "For science, the Honkai is a disaster and a blessing."
Putting aside the Herrscher and monsters, it is essentially a kind of energy, an energy that can crush all current technologies. For example, the hypothetical Honkai energy adaptive core can achieve the effect of nuclear fusion.
"It's a pity that I can't help you. We are racing against time. No one can predict whether Era will progress first or humans will be crushed by the Honkai first." Ryan said cautiously. The Honkai is the least afraid of time travelers.
"I understand, so I will focus on application and use Honkai to fight Honkai as soon as possible." Mei picked up the rice ball and took a bite, then lowered her voice: "The research equipment here is not enough. I will be going to Mu Continent soon, and I will also visit the headquarters of the Fire Moth."
"Don't think too much. A pure researcher like you is the most trustworthy. Look at Mobius self-willed personality. She didn't do anything to him, but treated him like a treasure."
"I'm indeed not in danger, but Kevin is in big trouble. He has already gone through his first actual combat and is not in a good mood. You know I'm not good at comforting others." Mei raised her head slightly, and the meaning in her eyes was obvious.
You weird couple, can't you give us some peace of mind?
Ryan covered his forehead and said, "You say they are a couple, but their relationship is very ordinary. They have been holding hands for several years. You say they have no love, but they always care about each other."
But in comparison, Kevin is more proactive and dares to risk his life to join the Fire Moth for Mei.
"Will he go to Mu Continent with you?"
"I don't know, but I will try my best. I always feel that Kevin will change very quickly without me, but I don't have this authority until I gain trust."
"So you want me to keep an eye on him?"
"Well, Kevin doesn't actually have many friends. Sometimes he thinks too little, and sometimes he thinks too much. I know that's not fair to you."
The two looked at each other, and no one spoke. According to Ryan personality, he would rather enjoy the last quiet time, but what can he say, some things are more important.
"Okay, but you have to get rid of Mobius as well. This woman wants me to help her get data. She's addicted to freeloading."
"This is not easy, I will try my best."
"Deal, psychological counseling is what I'm best at."
Ryan stood up quickly. He still had to improve his strength, so he didn't have the time to compete with Mobius. After saying that, he dropped the plate and left.
The elevator quickly went to the ground. When the door opened, Ryan saw the sunlight and breathed a sigh of relief. He had been underground for a whole month, busy in the laboratory every day.
"If I stay with Mobius for too long, I'll become a psychopath. I'm so moved by the sun."
The airport was still very busy. The ground was shaking. Transport planes were landing, and then trucks drove over to unload long and thick missiles. Soldiers carrying luggage were gathering, and several helicopters towing light artillery were whizzing past overhead.
The Far East branch was being strengthened, and the Fire Moth was no fool. Based on the experience of the previous two Honkai, he determined that the third Honkai would occur in East Asia, and then fell into a long period of suffering.
When will the other shoe drop? And what power will the enemy have this time?
"The third Herrscher seems to be the Herrscher of Thunder."
Ryan thought as he walked, the power of this Ruler is to control electromagnetic force, lightning is just a manifestation, he doesn't know how much power he can exert, but he is very envious of this power.
I can already perfectly control the abilities at this stage. When I was helping Mobius with the experiment, my control over energy also improved. Next, I should kill more Honkai beasts to further increase the amount of Honkai energy.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the helicopters in the sky, thinking that there would be no shortage of "food" after all, and then he saw a white-haired young man running to the hangar at the other end.
Kevin sat on the edge, staring blankly at the busy scene in front of him. Some helicopters had just landed, and military doctors swarmed in, carrying down the wounded soldiers with missing limbs.
Blood seeped through the stretchers, leaving long streaks on the ground. Some people died before being taken to the ambulance and were put into body bags and thrown aside.
The young man's expression changed slightly, and a trace of fear flashed across his face. In fact, he had already carried out several missions in the past month, and half of the new recruits had been killed during the same period.
Death, ruins, howling, this is the truth of the world. Less than two months have passed, and the time in college seems so far away that I can hardly remember it.
"It's better to go to sleep than to think about life. If you really can't stand it, you can choose to quit."
Kevin was startled by the voice behind him. He turned his head and took several seconds to react before he smiled: "Ryan, why are you here?"
"Come out and change your mood after you finish your work." Ryan also walked to the edge of the hangar. He saw the fear and loneliness in Kevin eyes.
There was no way. His current life was so different from his previous life, and there was no one around to guide him. Both Mei and himself had more important things to do.
"How many new friends have you taught in Fire Moth? According to tradition, they should hold a dance for the newcomers."
"Three, but they were all dead. One was smashed into the ground by a tank right in front of me. I couldn't even find a complete body. I finally understood why those old soldiers ignored me."
Ryan was startled and looked at the young man with his head down. After knowing each other for so long, this was the first time he saw Kevin looking depressed.
"Now you know how naive your original choice was. If you want to give up, tell me anytime and I will transfer you to an office position."
"Well, the first time I saw someone die in front of me, I felt like a child who had not grown up. I always felt happy that I could do something for Mei." Kevin looked at the dozens of body bags and the wounded who were crying because of the Honkai erosion, and slowly clenched his fists.
"But I won't run away. You know what, Ryan? I've discovered one thing these days. I shouldn't chase after Mei like a follower. Instead, I should stand in front of her, shield her from the wind and rain, and protect her from being killed by monsters."
oh?
Ryan finally saw Kevin raise his head. His handsome face was full of seriousness. Because of fear and loneliness, he became full of fighting spirit and was willing to give everything for the things he loved.
Death and fear transform a student into a warrior and a young man into a man.
"Ryan, please teach me fighting skills. I'm too weak now and can't do anything."
Kevin is worthy of being the ancestor. His mental quality is stronger than mine. It took me a long time to figure out what I wanted to do at the beginning. Just don't grow too much.
Ryan didn't doubt it, he just squatted down and asked: "What do you want to learn?"
"Uh, what do you know?"
Ryan thought about it, squinted his eyes, and stretched out his right hand, with his index finger and thumb an inch apart.
"I know a little bit of everything."
