"Talk?" Ryan began to laugh. "What can I talk to you about? Since the people you sent before were defeated by me, are the rest of the people still like this useless? If you can't crack my abilities, it's useless for you to say anything! ”

Rin thought that when he fought Ryan just now, only his own sword could touch him, and the rest of the people except himself failed to hurt Ryan in the slightest.

"This is your 'Imitation Lawgiver' ability, Ryan." Rin said as if realizing something. "Since you want to solve the problem by force, then we will duel one-on-one until you are willing to admit us and are willing to talk, and then we will stop."

After hearing this, Ryan seemed to be interested, and his fists collided, bursting into a strong aura.

"Well, I'll tell you about my Lawgiver ability, it's called 'Lionheart', and if it's not my 'main target', then no one else can interfere with my duel with my main target, that's my ability."

"Therefore, you can only go one by one, and any level of sneak attack will make you reap the consequences."

Ryan is a very bright person, and opened the skylight to say bright words, it turns out that the sixth group, which was good at tactical organization team tactics, was defeated by Ryan's lawyer ability, and fighting alone is not their strong point. However, all the members of Bronya's group have strong individual combat ability, and even Akia, who is usually submissive, has the level of an A-level Valkyrie in her individual combat ability.

Rin also knew this, so he asked Ryan, "Why did you tell us this?" ”

"It's not a great ability." Ryan replied with a relaxed expression. "It's just a limit, all I want is someone who can defeat me, so that you are qualified to find a way to defeat Agnes."

As a result, Ryan also said that if they can win Ryan in this wheel war to the death, Ryan will tell all the news, and he is not afraid of the reckoning of New Arcadia. Seeing that Rin offered to duel with Ryan one-on-one, Bronya asked a question about his statement:

"Are you able to harness your power now?"

"No problem, Sister Ashilia has taught me a lot, she has beaten me for so many days in a row, and I have some fighting ability now."

So, Ryan led the group into a very empty quarry deep in the mine, where there was a huge pit that formed a natural ring. After taking out Hypernetus, Rin assumed the posture of the Beastmaster's sword skill release, half-crouching, holding the sword in both hands, and leaning sideways on his chest.

"I've never seen Rin Jun hold a sword like this, is it the result of special training? Captain Bronya. Shizuru seems curious about how Rin has changed during this time.

Bronya nodded, then watched the duel with the others. Ryan was the first to strike, he rushed up with a quick step, slammed his iron fist into the ground, but it didn't hit Rin, Rin held the sword in his hand as a beautiful person, clinging to Ryan's back, rolling and leaping behind him, reflexively slashing a knife.

"It's not enough!"

Ryan's burly body reacted quickly, and he reflexively swept his leg, kicking Rin at the blade of his sword, and then swept his other leg sideways, sending Rin flying to the dirt wall at the edge of the pit, creating a massive impact crater.

"Rin!" Yu Linqi seemed to be a little worried about his situation, and also shouted.

However, her worries were unnecessary, and just as Bronya's expression had not changed, Rin unfolded the queen's shield to protect herself from the damage of the impact when the impact came.

"You're really the person he fancies, so I'm going to get serious."

Ryan leapt over his shoulder, and Rin noticed that he was fast, and the Queen's shield shattered like tissue paper in front of him, turning into emerald green shards of glass, forming specks of light and disappearing into the air. Rin was hit by a cannonball-like attack, spitting out a large amount of blood from his mouth, and fell straight out of the pit, falling heavily to the ground.

Lin Qi couldn't hold back anymore when she saw this scene, and she wanted to rush forward to stop Ryan from continuing to hurt Rin, but was stopped by Bronya. Shizuru was also indignant and wanted to pull out the sword and fight one-on-one with Ryan instead of Rin, but was also stopped by Bronya, after all, the ability of "Lionheart" is applied to Rin, and if Shizuru goes, he will not be able to hurt Ryan at all.

"Little Bronya, have you spoiled him too much lately, you can't educate your child in a doting way, you have to let him learn to fly by himself."

Bronya's mind remembered what Oxylia had said to him yesterday, during the conversation between Bronia and Ashilia before Rin had met Bronia. However, just as Ryan showed a disappointed expression and turned to call for his next opponent, Rin suddenly jumped up from the ground, showed a fierce expression, and slashed at Ryan.

"Play dead...... It's kind of like a beast. ”

Ryan lightly blocked the sword, ready to catch him, then control him, and give him the final blow.

However, Rin's methods were more than that, he skillfully pulled out the dragon's tooth spear that his other hand had already taken out, and fired several shots at Ryan in a row. Ryan didn't have time to dodge and was shot in the chest, revealing white silicified tissue.

"Hmph."

After taking the blow, Ryan looked a little bored and smiled slightly, and then he continued to charge at Rin, throwing a punch, but it was empty.

Rin's movements are very nimble, using the advantage of his left-handed long-range weapon, and the light sword skills of Hypernetus, while dodging Ryan's heavy punches, while attacking methodically, in the eyes of outsiders, this is a seasoned hunter, fighting a wild beast.

"It's amazing, has Rin grown to this point? Elsilea-sama's special training is really effective. Lin Qi sighed.

But Ritter on the side was unimpressed, he knew about Elysia's devil training, and said thoughtfully: "What a strong obsession that guy has about becoming stronger, Sister Ailia's training can withstand it...... How to say that? How the hell did he get here? ”

The fight continued, Rin gradually gaining the upper hand in the grappling, and Ryan felt a little overwhelmed, his fists began to dull and slow. But Rin is different, his movements are getting faster and faster, and the new Beastmaster sword skill also helps him to be offensive while defending.

"Do you want to stop?" Rin asked, looking at a panting Ryan, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth by the way.

Ryan shook his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said unconvinced: "I didn't say I lost." ”

The two continued to wrestle in a white-knuckle fight, with Ryan trying to smash his fists into the ground and create a strong shockwave to catch the nimble hunter in front of him, but Rin was able to anticipate his movements every time and jump up to avoid the shockwave on the ground.

He knew that Ryan was a mimic lawmaker with a fairly good degree of fusion, but it seemed that all he had was his brute strength and burst speed advantage except for his defensive abilities. Moreover, his purpose is not to kill Ryan, but to suppress him through his fighting skills and make him surrender so that he will admit that he is the one chosen by Dr. Edward.

"Lion King Bites!"

"Beastmaster Sword Technique, Split Chamber!"

One punch and one sword, accompanied by the powerful power that the two burst out of each other, collided together, exuding a powerful aura at the same time, both of them showed serious, fierce and enjoyable expressions.

This kind of battle lasted for more than ten minutes, and the winner was not yet decided, and the degree of the fight was also very ornamental, so that Bronya and the others all watched all this silently with an extremely nervous mood. At the end of the fight, the physical strength of both sides seemed to be a little overwhelmed, and Ryan decided to burst out with his last strength and fight Rin.

Rin also seemed to be a little overwhelmed and began to put his other hand on his cheek, and the overlord cells derived from under his skin, covering his forehead and body, turning into pitch-black armor all over his body.

"Are you willing to show your real skills now? Rin Boy. Ryan smiled and clapped his hands. Well, I'm going to show my real skills too. ”

I saw that white siliconized tissue began to proliferate under Ryan's skin, covering his body, and spikes formed by siliconization crystals began to grow on his back, transforming into a pangolin-shaped Honkai beast.

The two monsters collided together at a very fast speed, the sharp roar of the overlord and the roar of the Honkai Beast, the two sounds were mixed together, and the force of the impact was very strong, so that the sharp stone pillars above the pit were also a little loose, and they smashed towards the center of the field.

"Hurry up, Captain Bronya, this place is going to collapse." Shizuru hurriedly took Bronya's hand and wanted to lead the team members to evacuate.

But Bronya still didn't move, just looked at what was happening in front of her expressionlessly, stone fragments came from above, and a huge steel palm resisted their attacks for the team, it was Bronya's dimensional armor - Heavy Rabbit.

"It's okay, you go first, I'll stay here and wait for Rin."

When the team left, she was still standing on the shaky ground, as if the danger around her was nothing to her. At this time, Rin remembered that when he was a child, he was the focus of everyone in the class because of his excellent grades, and he also had a beautiful yearning for his future.

"Rin, what's your dream? What are you going to do when you grow up? ”

"Of course, I will go wherever there is money to be made, and I think I can do anything."

I heard his friends say that only by being recruited by the New Arcadia Company and becoming a member of it can he make a lot of money, so his whole life is basically a process of fighting for entering New Arcadia.

When he grew up, he completed his junior high school and high school courses, and was admitted to a prestigious university, so he decisively chose the Honkai preparation and defense department, which was helpful for his entry.

However, when he graduated and successfully joined New Arcadia, he originally thought that he could be transferred to the headquarters, but he was transferred to the Shenzhou branch, doing the most basic security personnel work, and receiving a meager salary that could only cover his own expenses. But despite this, he thought of his mother, Dr. Cao Liang, and endured to send three-quarters of his salary to the family to cover her medical expenses.

"I never had any big dreams, I just wanted to work hard and find a job that could support myself and pay for my mother's medical expenses...... But. ”

"Originally, I thought that I would live along such a trajectory and live a very ordinary, meaningless life."

"But it all happened until the people of New Arcadia sent us low-level security personnel to fight against Destiny, and in short, it was a job with no return."

"If it weren't for the people who met Destiny, all of this would have ended, I just ...... I just want to make money, I just want to live. ”

"I thought I would be a little person all my life."

"But I also have things I have to do, things that I can do!"

A burst of powerful energy erupted from the center of the stone pit, shaking Ryan in front of him, who had turned into the appearance of a Honkai beast, and it was a pitch-black aura that erupted from Rin, a young boy.

"Overlord Scale Armor: Demon King is coming!"

With a hoarse roar, Ryan seemed to feel that he was now in a hell, surrounded by people who had lost their lives because of his past mistakes and obedience to the new Arcadia technology.

"I'm just not capable, if I have the power to change all this, why don't I want to save them...... I can't save the dead people......"

At this time, Ryan was haunting this sentence that was often used to numb himself. In order to recapture New Arcadia, he did so many shady things for Agnes, killing many innocent people, both his own men and innocent people.

Just because of their own indifference, they were killed by the brutal mimetic law, thinking of this, he didn't want to accept the rebirth plan, resolutely abandoned his identity as a human being, and joined the army of monsters.

A bright red light came towards his chest, and Ryan knew that the situation was gone, so he followed Rin and killed himself, so that he could also be freed from the place of sin once and for all.

However, as soon as he remembered his agreement with Aiden, he woke up from his dream again.

"Don't you want to avenge your sister? Don't you want to avenge Ranya, who is pinched and mad by Boto? They're all mad by Agnes, and you can see it too. ”

"Ryan Fingnier, lion of the Fred Consortium."

With a punch that collided with the piercing light, he had tried his best to maintain his Honkai Beast form, but he couldn't resist the detachment of the siliconized tissue from his body.

"It's over...... You win, boy. ”

As the battle stopped, Ryan fell to the ground exhausted, no longer able to move, and Rin also lifted the form of the Demon King's arrival, knelt on one knee and slammed the ground with Hypernetus to prevent himself from falling.

"We're finally ...... OK...... Have you talked about it? Mr. Lane. ”

He was already very tired by this time, but he still insisted on saying it.

He knew that the people of the Sixth Unit were only defeated by him, and he also let them return to their destiny unharmed, if they were the same as the cruel Anania, then they would not be able to come back. He reached out his hand towards Ryan, who had fallen, and seemed to sense it, and he grabbed Rin's hand and propped it up from the ground.

Seeing Rin win the whole game, Bronya also showed a smile of relief, it seems that this time, Rin has won her appreciation for Rin with his performance, and is sincerely happy for his efforts during this time.

In the empty pit, only one bystander applauded, and she, Bronya, was the only one cheering for the winner of the battle. Later, under Rin's leadership, Ryan met with the team that had come to carry out the mission this time, and began to have a calm conversation.

"Dr. Aiden had been in contact with me before, and after leaving New Arcadia, he seemed to have found a new job in a pharmaceutical company and was doing well." Ryan said.

Rin knew the true identity of Dr. Aiden, who was the attending physician and director of the biological research department of the first medical department of Destiny, Dr. Edward Belmont. But Ryan didn't seem to know anything about this, and was just deceived by Dr. Aiden's casual reasoning.

"We're going to bring you back to Destiny, do you accept that?" Bronya asked him. "Moreover, you are willing to cooperate with us, and the boss will not embarrass you."

When Ryan heard this, he began to laugh and said, "I have made up my mind, after meeting with the person introduced by Aiden today, I will go alone to solve the matter that I should solve, so I understand your kindness." ”

Former colleague Shizuru also knew what Lane was talking about "things that should be solved", so he opened his mouth to persuade him:

"Ryan, I still think it's better for you to go with us, with your own strength, you can't compete with Agnes."

Ryan shook his head and said, "It's a man's agreement, I used to have a family, but they were all ruined by New Arcadia, and this is also something I have known during this time, so, Frost Moon, there are some things I have to do." ”

"You're not alone." Shizuru hurriedly shook his head. "Like you, many members of the Polaris Alliance are extremely unhappy with Agnes when he is in power, including me."

Rin also knew what happened to Miss Shizuru, if it weren't for Kamisato Heavy Industries and New Arcadia being embarrassed, Miss Shizuru would not have been forced to work in the New Arcadia Security Department, and even carried so many black cauldrons that she didn't want to carry.

"I've thought about forming an alliance, but it's a personal vendetta and I want to give myself a perfect ending."

Ryan smiled knowingly and looked up at the sky, what was in his eyes, was it the past, or was it ......

"Is it right to be bent on death? Mr. Lane. ”

Rin's words brought him out of his previous memories, and Ryan's expression, which had just relaxed, began to become serious again.

"What do you mean by that?" Ryan asked. "I have my own revenge plan, how dare you say that I am going to die this time?"

Rin then persuaded, "Mr. Lane, I know you've always wanted to seek revenge on Agnes, and when I fought you just now, I saw some of the things in your heart, but ...... Wouldn't a plan that didn't have a result give peace of mind to your deceased loved one? ”

"This ......"

Ryan was speechless, as if he was somewhat touched by what he had said.

"Also, what do you think about Dr. Aiden by doing this? He's the only friend you can talk to when you come to New Arcadia, and you all want to rebel against Agnes' oppressive rule, what would he think if you went to Agnes to die like this? ”

At the mention of Aiden's name, Ryan shook his head with a look of disappointment on his face.

"He betrayed the agreement between us." Ryan said. "He told me that he had returned to his normal life, working for a normal pharmaceutical company, and had not expressed any desire to support my plan."

Rin's next speech shocked the entire team:

"Dr. Aiden is in Destiny! He has been working hard for the agreement between you, just to be able to fulfill your wishes! ”

"What......"

The first to be surprised were Ritter, Lin Qi and Akia, and all three of them all showed extremely surprised looks. Unexpectedly, at this time, Rin said that "Aiden is actually Dr. Edward", which surprised everyone.

Shizuru was also shocked, she had the impression that Dr. Aiden was a mysterious person who often bandaged his face and wore a half-crow mask, and he couldn't say a few words to him. Bronya, on the other hand, smiled and said lightly: "Sure enough, it's the same as my previous conjecture, but it hasn't been confirmed." ”

Rin subconsciously tried to persuade Ryan, but accidentally revealed Dr. Edward's true identity, and quickly froze, so scared that he didn't continue to speak.

"That's right, hearing you say that, I want to go back with you and catch up with him."

Ryan finally changed his attitude, as if relieved, knowing that his old friends were still fighting for their agreement, and he was not going to go to Agnes to fight it alone, so he agreed to return to their destiny with them.

On the Hella, Bronya and Rin briefly talk about something.

"Captain, you've always suspected that Dr. Aiden is hiding within the Mandate of Heaven, I didn't think you would think in this direction."

"I've thought about it, but there's never been evidence to support my hypothesis." Bronya said. "You are an important witness, and it seems that the reason why you have been acquainted with him during this time is also because you have some secret transactions with him."

Rin sighed secretly in her heart, it seems that Bronya is secretly investigating this matter on weekdays, but fortunately, she was better disguised before. However, Dr. Edward's true identity has been revealed, and it is unknown if Bronya will report it to the Council of the Thirteen.

"You're worried about whether I'm going to report it, right?"

"How do you know?"

Bronya smiled and said, "Don't worry, since he has helped us so much during this time, I haven't reached the point where I don't understand the amorous feelings, and besides, he has no other actions than to help you during this time, so it's okay to keep it a secret for him." ”

Then, Bronya told Rin about her next plan, first having a small meeting with the team to help Dr. Edward keep it secret, and by the way, she went to meet this "Dr. Aiden" again to find out some more information.

Hearing this, Rin suddenly felt relieved, he knew that Bronya was a thoughtful person, and since Aiden had plans to stand on the side of Destiny, it might not be a good thing to continue to cooperate secretly like this. After returning to Destiny, the people who learned the true identity of Dr. Edward decided to take Ryan to meet him first, talk about the conditions that would be powerful for him, and then ask him what his plans were.

"Eh, you're back, ...... Ryan? ”

Dr. Edward, who had just walked down the hallway with a stack of papers, met with the members of the large group who had come to him, and he didn't hold back the moment he saw Ryan, after all, he was his old friend, the only person he trusted in New Arcadia.

"Long time no see, Aiden, I didn't expect you to disguise yourself as a masked mummy monster thief today." Rin said with a smile.

"Lying X ......"

Realizing that something was wrong, Dr. Edward hurriedly scattered the documents on the ground, burst into a foul mouth, and ran into his office as soon as he heard the sound of the door locking, which overwhelmed everyone.

Later, after several persuasions from Rin, Dr. Edward reluctantly opened the door on the premise that only the entire Seventh Unit knew his true identity.

"Sign this confidentiality agreement, quick."

After entering the office, he immediately locked the door, and then simply drafted several "non-disclosure agreements" at the speed of light and handed them to everyone present.

"You don't have to be so nervous, right?" Rin asked. "We've all been together for so long, don't you know what kind of people we are?"

"I don't know! I've been hiding here for so long, and this is the first time I've spoken to you like that...... Let's figure it out! ”

Dr. Edward's answer made Rin not know how to deal with it, but Bronya said that she had known Dr. Edward's true identity for a long time, and had been helping him keep it a secret.

"Captain Bronya, how do you know? What did this guy tell you? Dr. Edward looked incredulous and pointed his finger at Rin.

Bronya said that she had speculated on her own, which made Dr. Edward change his nervous attitude and turn back to the previous Dr. Edward who listened carefully. But Edward also thought in his heart at this time, "Who are you fooling" and so on, and reluctantly agreed.

"Well, I trust you, and see how much I've helped you." Dr. Edward helped his eye frame. "Since Ryan came back with you to see me, I should have realized a long time ago that the moment the two of us met, my true identity as Dr. Aiden would definitely be revealed."

"Then why were you so nervous?"

"Don't talk, you Shabi."

Rin didn't speak after being scolded by Dr. Edward, and everyone just talked about future cooperation plans in Dr. Edward's office, including what Dr. Edward wanted to do most - recapture New Arcadia.

"We'll fight together in the future, right, old friend." Ryan asked Dr. Edward. "Although it will take a while for Destiny to help me apply for an agent certificate, since I haven't done anything big, it should be fine."

Dr. Edward touched his chin and said, "Well, use my connections to endorse Ryan, I know my old friend, he and we are grasshoppers on the same rope, and, staying in Destiny, will also prevent the people of New Arcadia from liquidating him." ”

"Then I'm bothering you."

After a little confirmation and some small talk, Bronya left with her teammates, leaving Aqia alone.

"Doctor."

"What's wrong, Akia."

"Thank you, it turns out that when I accompanied everyone on the mission that day, it was you who helped us."

What did Akia and Dr. Edward talk about in the office, but what was unexpected was that the first thing Akia did to him after learning her true identity was to thank him.

"It's nothing, after all, you are my sister, how can there be a reason why my brother is not worried about my sister? Little fools. ”

"It turns out that you have been by my side, doctor, and I am worried that my cowardice will cause trouble for everyone...... That's great, that's great......"

Edward walked up to Akia and placed his hands on her thin shoulders, looking into her eyes with tender eyes.

"We've known each other for so long, more than ten years, when we were young, we both lived in Lisel's mother's house, can I not know you? You're my sister, isn't it what I'm supposed to do to protect you? He smiled at Akia.

Akia's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she whispered, "So you remember......"

"Your wish will come true, and I will always be by your side, you know?"

He patted her gently on the shoulder, then grabbed the briefcase and prepared to go to the academic conference tonight. Just as he walked out of the office, he found Ryan waiting for him, saying that he wanted to say a few words to him.

"Is Dr. Lisel alright?" Ryan lit a cigar and smoked. "When we used to work together, you didn't call home a lot."

"What's good, it's okay that everyone is missing...... She hadn't been back since she told me there was something going on with the Star Alliance. ”

Ryan only remembered that what Aiden had said earlier was about the collective disappearance of the founders of New Arcadia, including Dr. Lisel Albert Einstein, who raised himself and Aqia.

"You suspect Agnes did it? I think he's going to do this kind of thing. ”

"No, it's not him, although his methods are a little more vicious, but he is not stupid enough to kill the few major shareholders of the company at that time before the equity is in his hands."

"Who's that?"

Dr. Edward, on the other hand, thought for a moment and said that he might not be aware of the matter. After all, Dr. Lisel was in danger or not, and said that Agnes was just an authoritarian and authoritarian thing, and there was nothing worth noting.

However, Edward remembered Freya, who called herself the "Gamma Paladin" captured some time ago, and also linked her to New Arcadia, and made some guesses.

"I'm also investigating this matter, and a few days ago I captured a girl who claimed to be a 'Gamma Man', she may have something to do with New Arcadia, right? I guess, but she's so mysterious, so mysterious that I don't know anything about it. ”

"What kind of existence is it? So mysterious that you can't even investigate? ”

Edward smiled and replied, "Of course it's mysterious, it's possible that these guys are the Gamma People who caused New Arcadia to become what it is." ”

It was the first time Ryan had heard such an unfamiliar term as "gamma-man" and thought that Dr. Edward must have found some great information, so he continued to ask questions, trying to get to the bottom of everything he knew.

Edward went on to say why New Arcadia grew so quickly, turning into a global oligarchy decades after the civilizational fault line, and also having a sizable private armed group in defiance of the regulations of the provisional governments.

The reason is that the force behind Agnes is an ancient race called the "Gamma People", which has established an extremely high level of civilization over a long period of time with the help of the lawyers.

The reason why Agnes created Honkai is that he is a gamma. And the Gamma people are a race created by "Honkai".
