I am a former Flame Chasers

This woman is just like a snake, once she wraps herself around someone she will never let go.

In the helicopter, Ryan kept shaking his feet, making the accompanying soldiers afraid to look at him, as if they knew that this mysterious warrior was in a bad mood.

Mobius was obviously a threat, but there was no way to eliminate him physically. On the one hand, he had to be on guard, but on the other hand, he couldn't get rid of him. The conflicting emotions were suppressed in his heart, making him depressed.

"But thinking about it carefully, she didn't attack me. She was also quite reliable when dealing with Vill-Vwei before, and she didn't kill someone with a borrowed knife."

Ryan comforted himself that this was the most annoying thing about Mobius. He was between an opponent and a friend, which made it difficult for him to be cruel. In addition, he had many different faces and was hard to predict.

Although he knew that Mobius had bad intentions, he actually did nothing and instead assisted him wholeheartedly.

I wish I didn't know her true face, it would be easier.

This thought popped up in Ryan mind, but he quickly extinguished it. With such a naive idea, sooner or later he would wake up and find himself lying on the operating table, with an amiable green-haired lady in front of him, staring at him with an elegant smile.

Mobius, I won't let you have it easy either.

Countless plans to break through the defense are brewing in my mind. It depends on my IQ, right? Who isn't a genius?

"Mr. Ryan, we've arrived at the academy."

At this moment, the team leader's voice came to my ears. The helicopter had landed on the ground and several soldiers pushed open the cabin door.

"I'm sorry to have to make you take such a detour."

"No, I'm glad to escort such a powerful warrior like you." The captain pointed to the academy in the distance and saluted. "If it weren't for you, many of our brothers would have died last time. With such powerful beings like you and Miss Elysia, humanity will definitely survive the disaster."

Through the mask, Ryan saw deep gratitude and understood why Elysia had such a high reputation.

Every time she took action, she could save many lives. How could others not be grateful? The lower-level soldiers didn't think so much. They just wanted to survive and protect their families and earn a good salary by the way.

These people are so tiny that they are almost invisible, and in the future they will be just cold statistics, but when you really face them, you will realize that they are real living people.

"Then live well and become an equally powerful being."

"I don't have that talent. I can't even do the simplest physical transformation." The captain sighed, patted the rifle in his arms, and looked determined: "But if those monsters want to kill my wife and daughter, I will stop them at all costs!"

Ryan glanced at the other people in the cabin. These frontline soldiers knew how terrible the Honkai was. They had seen their comrades beaten into a paste by Honkai beasts, and they had also seen humans being corroded by energy and living a life worse than death.

But precisely because of their fear, they became even more determined. It was not even the great ideal of saving the world, but they just didn't want those tragedies to happen to their relatives and friends.

Simple ideals can create the greatest warriors.

He even felt a bit of pressure from these gazes. He silently patted the other person on the shoulder and jumped directly off the helicopter.

This place happened to be an abandoned apartment area. Ryan had just solved a Honkai here not long ago. Now that he came here for the second time, some things had changed. At least the academy in the distance had become much dimmer.

Because the 'terrorist attack' damaged a large number of teaching buildings, many departments chose to conduct online classes. Ryan also took this opportunity to go back to the dormitory to get some things, at least to take away his saved manuscripts.

After climbing over the wall, the school was indeed quiet. Except for a few lights occasionally, even the street lights were not turned on.

Those students who were laughing and playing have become a thing of the past, leaving only dilapidated buildings and red and white cordon lines fluttering in the night wind.

He couldn't even see stray cats and dogs, because these things would also become mobile sources of infection and were all killed by the fire moths.

Everything around became bleak. Ryan saw a twisted bench at his feet. He remembered well that this was the place where Mei and Kevin had been showing off their love before the experiment. No one knew which Honkai beast had knocked them away.

After hesitating for a moment, Ryan slowly squatted down, straightened the twisted part, and then placed it on the bare lawn. Seeing the missing wooden strips on it, he laughed at himself again, and finally patted it lightly, turned around and disappeared into the night.

Time flows forward, and the past will never come back.

A few minutes later, Ryan returned to the empty dormitory and saw that the door was ajar. He put the key back in his pocket, pushed the door open, and saw a figure sitting on the bunk bed.

"It's a miracle that you didn't starve to death in the past half month."

"I'm not stupid. If the cafeteria is closed, I won't know where to go to the commercial street to find food."

A gentle voice was heard, and a handsome man with shoulder-length hair walked to the door and turned on the light with a click.

The person waiting for Ryan was Su, who had changed into pajamas and came to visit as he often did before.

Ryan was still the same as before, just glancing at his messy quilt.

"You're sleeping in my bed again?"

"Just because Kevin has such a terrible sleeping posture, won't I sleep with you?"

"Don't say such gay things. I'm not interested in men." Ryan couldn't help laughing. He wanted to pat the other person shoulder, but slowly put his hand down. "You must have a lot of questions."

"Of course, you three didn't answer the phone, so you sent a weird text message. I thought our friendship wasn't that fragile." Su didn't look angry at all. he turned around and took a glass of water and stuffed it into Ryan hand. "Come back to get your things. I've packed your clothes for you. And I finally saw your fitness equipment. It's so heavy."

Ryan turned his head and saw that there were indeed several large packages in the corner. Computers, clothes, and weapons were all classified and even carefully labeled.

"Su, if you were a woman, I would probably fall in love with you."

"Come on, the whereabouts of the three of you are all confidential, right? Are you hiding it to protect me?"

Ryan took a sip of water. For some reason, the plain water tasted like nostalgia. He simply nodded and said, "How did you guess that?"

"Ever since high school, I've noticed that you three are not ordinary people. Not to mention you and Mei, and even though Kevin is a bit noisy, I have a feeling that one day, you will leave for a great cause." Su leaned against the door, her face full of tenderness and nostalgia.

"Unfortunately, I guessed it right, but it's a pity that I couldn't say goodbye to you. Don't look at me like that. I also know that you don't want me to be anxious and afraid that one day I will never see you again, so I didn't ask anything and waited for half a month. Seeing you once is enough."

Ryan held the water cup and listened to Su quietly. His voice was still gentle, and he always put himself in other people's shoes. He was not angry, and even seemed a little surprised and satisfied.

He had waited so long just to see his friends, even if Ryan was the only one who came.

"What do you want to do in the future?"

"Graduate as soon as possible and become a doctor. Although I don't know what happened, I have a feeling that our future paths will be intertwined." Su tilted her head, still with a gentle smile, "So Ryan, you should rest assured."

"Don't worry, you are still the wise man. I came back at the right time today." Ryan felt completely calm and put the cup on the table. "Do you want me to walk with you?"

"What's so great about these ruins? But you can keep this invitation for later. If you are in danger, please remember this agreement." Su nodded gently and walked outside. "I'm going home to take online classes. Remember to let Kevin know that I'm safe."

The back view was not desolate, but rather full of calmness, and even a bit of joy. He did not expect that Ryan would come back.

"Su, actually I lied to you about something." Ryan shouted and smiled at the stagnant back.

"Don't worry, you are special too."

The young man stayed for a long time, then nodded silently and disappeared into the dark corridor. Ryan kept a smile on his face until his back disappeared.

This was the first time he had revealed a spoiler in more than a decade, but if fate could really be changed, he was unwilling to let his friends jump into the abyss and would rather they live their daily lives until everything was resolved.

There are no heroes there, only blood and pain. The one who can maintain hope is the most tenacious existence.

Kevin, I have no choice, but at least the later you enter, the better. It's a pity that our ancient Era doesn't have an easy life like Kiana and the others.

Ryan looked at the water droplets sliding down the wall of the cup and couldn't help but think of an old saying.

The friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water, but often more sincere and hotter than fire.

Putting the cup of water in his pocket as well, Ryan took one last look at the room, as if to memorize it, and then walked to the window, pushed it open, and looked down.

There was a figure hanging on the eaves with an embarrassed look on his face. It was Kevin.
