I am a former Flame Chasers

The evening sun shone in through the window, casting the swaying shadows of the cherry trees on the table. Ryan looked out from the lounge and could see people dragging their luggage on the road.

After the official holiday, the formerly bustling campus became deserted. Most people went out for school trips, and even if they wanted to stay, there was no way. In order to maintain the experiments, the school would cut off power tonight.

Now even the otakus can't stay anymore. Only a few faculty and staff are left on the campus that originally had tens of thousands of people. The physics laboratory has become the most lively place.

Ryan picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. He looked down with his gray eyes and saw a man and a woman chatting in the small garden.

On the bench, a girl with a ponytail was quietly reading an experiment report with a calm and focused expression. A white haired young man was sitting next to her, stuffing dumplings into her mouth.

He moved very gently, as if he was afraid to disturb the girl thoughts. His expression was also very focused, staring at the girl face.

belch--

Ryan suddenly burped. He was filled with dog food before he even had dinner. He didn't know why, but he remembered the book friend who said he was coming to Changkong City on a business trip.

Impossible, he's just a scumbag.

Reason extinguished the budding fantasy, and Ryan held up his face with a frown.

"If it weren't for the damn Honkai, with my reincarnation skills, I could have been a playboy raising birds and watching the sun every day."

The resentment also flashed across his mind. He had no choice but to keep going down this road. He just stared blankly and ate dog food. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer. He picked up the black cloth bag leaning against the table and walked down.

Kevin, this idiot, fed me water after stuffing dumplings, and then peeled an apple. My coffee has already cooled down, and you two are showing me this?

"Hey, can you two stop showing off your affection everywhere and consider the feelings of us single guys?"

"Ryan, when did you get here?" Kevin turned around and subconsciously peeled off a piece of apple. "Do you want to eat an apple? I just peeled it. Have you had dinner yet?"

"No, but I'm full of dog food." Ryan waved his hand, walked in front of the two, coughed lightly and said, "The experiment will start in half an hour. There is a good place behind the garden. Usually no one is there..."

"That's enough!"

Before she could finish her words, Mei interrupted her with a sharp voice. Her breathing seemed to have quickened, and her slightly red face took a long time to return to normal.

"Kevin, wait here for a while. The experiment will be over at about eleven o'clock. Then come and walk around the school with me."

It would take at least five hours, but Kevin showed no impatience. He just smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

"Let's go, finish the experiment quickly, and you can have fun as you please during these three days." Ryan smiled at the strange couple and walked into the laboratory first.

The explosion proof door opened, and a group of people in white coats were already waiting in the control room. Various numbers were flashing on the computer screen, and outside the glass was a huge collider.

"Dr. Mei, all equipment is ready."

"Electricity can be injected at any time, the trial operation has been completed, and all subsystems are functioning normally."

Reports were heard everywhere, and the shy girl had changed her expression. She looked calm, exuding an extremely rational feeling, and kept signing each report.

Everything was ready, just waiting for her to press the button. Mei turned her head and looked at Ryan who was leisurely drinking coffee: "Are you really going down? And what the hell are you carrying?"

"Fitness equipment, prepare to do some exercise after the experiment." Ryan shrugged and put the cup on the table. "Isn't there enough margin for error? This thing is not dangerous. When the time comes, just record the data and I will analyze it. The brilliant sparks of that moment may inspire me."

"Weirdo, how can one thousandth of a second be seen with the naked eye? Forget it, if you want to be lazy, go ahead."

There was a burst of laughter in the control room. Everyone knew that Dr. Ryan liked to be lazy, but it could not be denied that he would occasionally have a flash of inspiration and could often provide the right direction.

Ryan also laughed at himself. He just felt that staying in the control room was quite boring. Besides, he didn't need to use his eyes to see. At the moment when the particles collided and released imaginary internal energy, an indescribable feeling would emerge.

After walking down the stairs, Ryan simply walked into the huge laboratory. The two circular colliders were not far in front of him. Since the power consumption during the acceleration process would emit strong heat energy, he did not dare to get too close.

Sitting down at the end of the stairs, he turned on the headset: "Let's get started."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ryan could no longer see any magnificent scene. He could only hear the buzzing sound of the radiator starting up, which felt like a rumbling train passing by.

Buzz buzz buzz...

Electricity was pumped in, the radiator started, and the particles were accelerating in a spiral on a circular orbit. Ryan leaned forward, staring at the vacuum tube in the center.

It's coming.

Ryan, who had participated in several experiments, counted silently in his mind, and then his heart moved, and a picture emerged in his mind:

Particles moving towards each other collide at the speed of light, emitting a light that is invisible to the naked eye. This brilliant spark will ignite within one thousandth of a second, and only the most advanced detectors can capture its shadow.

The Honkai energy will rise in an instant, and will briefly connect to the imaginary space to observe data, and then it will be annihilated in an instant due to lack of follow-up power...

"wrong."

In that instant, Ryan pupils suddenly contracted. He did feel the Honkai energy, but this thing not only did not go out, but became more and more obvious and more and more familiar.

Damn it, it's Honkai!

At the same time, the control room was in chaos, with red lights flashing and shrill alarms sounding everywhere.

"The experiment is out of control, the energy exceeds the critical value!"

"The accelerator structure was damaged, the detection system failed, and data could not be captured."

"Dr. Mei, look quickly."

There was no need for any detectors. Mei could see with her naked eyes that the vacuum tube was burst by a red energy ball, and even the high-strength alloy began to melt wherever it touched.

"How, how could this happen?" Even Mei was a little confused. How could the observation of the microscopic world cause such a big commotion?

The experiment itself was like piercing a needle into the wall of space that separated reality. The small hole would recover in an instant, but now, not only did it not heal, it was as if something was actively squeezing it out.

The piercing alarm sounded disturbing, but Mei remained calm and gave a loud order: "The experiment has failed, everyone evacuate, I will take the responsibility."

A group of people had been waiting for her to say this. No one knew whether the ever-expanding energy would cause an explosion. They quickly dropped their work and left through the escape passage. Mei fell last and connected the headset amid the strong interference sound.

"Ryan, retreat quickly."

"It's too late. This is not as simple as a laboratory explosion."

Inside the laboratory, the temperature was rising rapidly. The concentration here was enough to cause the human body to mutate. He stood on the stairs and silently opened the cloth bag.

"What are you talking about? Go away. It's dangerous to be exposed to imaginary internal energy without protection." Mei voice became anxious.

"Don't worry, this little energy can't affect me." Ryan shook his head. He didn't have time to dwell on the reason, nor did he take the crack in front of him seriously.

Above the ground, in the sky, a natural disaster called Honkai is gathering, the scale of which is far greater than that of the apartment district a few days ago.

There is no reason, just like the randomness.

"Put on your protective clothing, go find Kevin, and leave the school as soon as possible."

"What on earth do you want to do!?"

Click.

The two meter long spear was assembled, and the tip of the spear landed on the stairs with a crisp sound. The gray eyes were extremely calm, and he turned his head to look at the wall on one side.

Boom boom

The thick wall suddenly exploded, and amid the flying rubble, a two meter tall Honkai beast suddenly rushed out. Honkai beasts do not need to grow, they will appear on their own when the energy is high enough.

Energy creatures?

It was the first time that Mei saw this kind of monster. She didn't know whether it was fear or the instinct of a researcher, but she forgot to run away and just watched the monster rushing towards the control room, smashing all the equipment in its way. At this moment...

A red spiral appeared on the side, knocking the huge monster away and nailing it to the wall with a "bang". At the other end of the spear, a familiar man was holding the gun in one hand.

He stood straight, his white coat fluttering slowly in the air flow, and then a more familiar voice came to Mei ears.

"Of course, as a researcher, I clean up the mess."
