Ryan hates the ward. Even though it is useful for hygiene, the constant white color makes him feel sick and isolated.

A few hours have passed since the battle of the orphanage, and the residents of the orphanage have been killed

AMIS evacuated and transferred to one of the company's hospitals. The victim of "mental shock" was placed in artificial sleep, lying in a warm bed with a respirator and brain scanning equipment next to it. Wynne stood by the window, clearly trying to resist the urge to sleep.

"Will she be okay?" Rya

Ask Wyve

, both of them took care of the girl for a while. "From experience, I know you can recover from Psyshock's 'brain connection,' but I haven't seen anyone take a sedative afterward."

"The doctor said her brain wave pattern was very abnormal," Wyve

Tell him. "They would keep her in the hospital for a few days until they were sure she wouldn't have any sequelae."

This makes Rya

Somewhat worried, he wondered if Psyshock had improved his abilities since they had last met. At least that abominable madman died in this cycle, allowing the messenger to relax.

”Ma

Ada chose this moment to walk into the room, holding a bright and delicate bouquet of flowers in her arms.

"Well, well, I'm sure congratulations are appropriate," the company planner said, placing flowers next to the window. "It's a bit rough for me, but I expected you to have collateral damage, Romano."

"What will happen to the kids?" Wyve

Asked, sounding familiar with her manager.

"We'll take care of them," Enrique said. They will be housed in secure facilities far from Rust Town, and many have expressed a desire to adopt some of them. Don't say Dy

AMIS is not suitable for families. ”

Of course, they will try to use the situation to hype. "Well, I'm sure everyone cared about these photos before I posted them online," Ryan said thoughtfully.

"Speaking of photos, Romano, I'm very disappointed in you," Enrique reproached him. "I remember telling you that your current name is the Time Lord, but you introduce yourself in the photo as 'Save His Cat'. Now that the damage has been done, it may not even be too late to correct the mistake. ”

"Wait, that's what bothers you?" Ryan asked in surprise. "Aren't you mad at our little adventure?"

"Why should I?" Enrique asked, also genuinely surprised. "You and the Atomic Cat save an orphanage while striking a fierce blow to the city's criminal gangs. You did very well. ”

"Yes, but I didn't participate in training, and you said you don't like loose artillery."

"I don't know, but I'm sure you're misunderstood. You are free to do what you want, as long as you are willing to live with the consequences. If your actions, no matter how irresponsible, end up winning, then it's clear that it's got Dy

AMIS is fully accredited; If you mess up, it's your own fault. ”

"So, if I succeed," Ryan concluded, to make sure he heard correctly. "The credit goes to you, and if I fail, I'll take the blame?"

"No, no," Enrique said comfortingly. "If you succeed, we share the credit, and if you fail, you take responsibility."

There is no difference. "I admire your pragmatism, sir. You're a genius, sir. ”

"Stop pretending to be a servile, Romano, I've had enough of the students' servile knees." Then, with his hands folded, he assumed a shrewd strategist pose. "Now, let's talk about the most painful part."

"Oh, I know that look," Ryan said thoughtfully, having seen it over and over again. "You are going to crush all our hopes and dreams in the most dull tone."

"You understand so quickly, Romano," Enrique replied coldly. "Vulcan is going to be released."

Wynne's eyes widened in anger, it was the first time Ryan had seen her lose her cool. "After she tried to murder two of our compatriots?" No! No way!"

"Wyvern, I understand your feelings, but-"

"If she gets away with being praised, I'm not going to do it."

As the silence continued, Ryan noticed that the roses on Enrique's cashmere suit began to grow thorns and move, as if ready to jump off its bearer to attack. Even the flowers by the bedroom window seem to have taken on a life of their own, their petals swirling.

"Trust me," Blackthorne said, his voice calm but with an undercurrent of anger, "I totally understand your frustration. However, I don't have the financial resources to take action, and neither do you. The order comes directly from the CEO. ”

"Hector himself? But why?" Wyvern asked, almost out of breath. "She's the only one who knows how to make high-grade armor!" If she is killed, their whole operation will be hit!"

"My father did not want to provoke Augustus's revenge." Enrique sighed. "We are in a period of détente with him. Don Hector believes that another direct conflict will cost us more than cover it up, especially after the atomic cat poaching. If Vulcan continues to be imprisoned, Mars and Venus may convince their masters to come down from the mountain. ”

"What happened today has not eased at all," Wyve

Pointed. "Can't you tell your father not to do that?"

"I tried," Enrique replied with a sigh. "I even called Alphonse for support, but that didn't change anything. It's a different story if someone on our team dies, but now that both your teammate and Vulcan are alive, she can leave with a warning. If she or another capo does something like this again, then we're at war. ”

Wynne closed his eyes, gasping for air. "It can't go on like this, Enrique."

"Be patient, Wynway." Enrique said. "The time will come to clean up the city."

"You've been saying that for two years," she noted.

"If it can stop another Malta, I can say another two years."

"Huh? What happened in Malta?" Ryan asked. He heard the rumors, but did not hear the details.

"It's sinking," Enrique replied coldly, looking at the watch under his sleeve. "I have to go. Wyvern, Quicksave. ”

At least he doesn't use that name anymore. As soon as Blackthorne was gone, the flower lost her life again, and Ryan glanced at Wivie. The superheroine's face became distraught, and her eyes glanced out the window in disappointment.

"Wyvern, tell me," Ryan coughed, "the armor of the elite private security guards...... It's a Vulcan masterpiece, right?" She nodded slowly. "I've heard you two are on good terms."

"We". The superheroine frowned. "Why do you insist on the part you want to approach?"

"Her crush on you seems to ...... I do not know...... A little too enthusiastic. ”

Wynne looked at him suspiciously, and then a thought seemed to flash through her mind. "No," she said with a moment's hesitation. "It's ......"

She sighed, clearly not wanting to talk about it. Ryan waited, knowing that if she wasn't pressured, she would speak. "She used to be my partner," Wyve

Finally admitted, "Even before I joined Il Miglio

e before. ”

"Your partner?"

"My partner." "She has brains, I have muscles. However, since I am the only one in this field, the media and citizens attribute our success to me. Eventually, she tries to recast herself as a hero in her own right, but since she's a genius and the backbone of a high-tech army, Diminiz doesn't want her to leave the lab. She was too precious to risk a direct confrontation, but she didn't think so. She felt marginalized and disrespected. ”

So she was restless in resentment, and eventually, Augustus found her, promising an easy capo rank and full autonomy if she changed sides. "Didn't you ever notice?" I'm guessing you weren't that close. ”

"She didn't tell me anything before the explosion, how could I possibly know?" Wyvern replied angrily. "I trust her."

The bedroom door opened, and a cat quietly walked in. "Wyvern," the atomic cat nodded politely, checking the door lock again, before turning to Ryan, "Help, you said the superpowered have an elixir?" Why do you think that?"

"I can tell when a mentally ill person has a withdrawal reaction," he says, who has long experience managing people like Bloodflow. "None of them are, and for weeks, none of them have behaved like normal psychopaths. This seems to be the most likely explanation. ”

"Mosquitoes die while receiving medical care."

Ryan understood immediately, though Wairvin didn't connect the dots. "What are you suggesting?" She asked, confused.

"Reptile people," Ryan explained. The reptilian man is here again. They are all over the place. ”

Wynne stared at him silently.

She knew he had his eye on her!

"Can you be serious?" The atomic cat replied, completely unaware of the joke. "Don't you think it's strange?"

"He may have died of natural causes," Wyve

Say, and wasn't really bothered by the fact that she might be responsible. "I hit him hard."

"Perhaps, but if the theory of quick salvation is correct, then the superpowered person must have received an extra elixir from someone else."

Wynn crossed his arms thoughtfully. "It's true that private security guards tried to help ghouls escape their imprisonment." She admitted. "But what you're implying is a very serious charge."

“Dy

There are people within amis who are clearly helping Meta," Atom Cat boldly declared. "Provide them with fake elixirs, information and support while covering their tracks. This is the only explanation. ”

"I don't know, Felix." "I don't-"

"Wait, your name is Felix?" Ryan interrupted Wayne and glanced at his partner. "Your superhero's name is Atomic Cat?"

"I don't see anything wrong," he lied. Ryan didn't say anything, even though the joke was written on his own. That's too easy.

Wynne waited a moment, until he had calmed down, before he finished speaking. "I don't doubt Dy

Some departments of AMIS are corrupt, and Meta can pay private security guards to provide information and support. The Augustans did the same, and this has been a problem for many years. However, the elixir is a different matter. Anyone who wants to get a steady supply needs the cooperation of top management or key people, who are subject to intense scrutiny. Even Augustus had to buy counterfeits through corrupt intermediaries to avoid detection. ”

"They're probably making their own products," Ryan asked, with an obvious question.

"Even Augustus hasn't done it yet," Wyve

Disagree. "To be honest, I'm more worried about that bunker that mosquitoes told us about. I've been wondering why the Superpowers never attack Dy

Amis agency, or trying to expand. Even their attack on the Augustus was only to keep them away from Rusty Town. ”

It says that psychiatric people attack orphanages in moderation. "So all they want is that bunker?" Atomic Cat asked. "They try not to attract attention when they're digging?"

"If Adam wants it, it's certainly not good."

"Well, my good friends, the path ahead is clear," Ryan said. "Let's go to the garbage dump and see for ourselves."

To his consternation, neither seemed to like the idea. "If they wanted this bunker so much, they would probably have all their heavy troops stationed in the junkyard," Wyve

Pointed. "Frank the madman is physically stronger than me, acid rain has devastating destructive powers, and Adam himself is both cunning and powerful. We have also received reports that they have recruited lone wolf psychosis like the land, and with the death of psychosis they will anticipate attacks. We need numbers, reconnaissance and attack plans. ”

"But can it be done?" Atomic Cat asked. "Or let them go, to avoid an 'escalation of tensions'?"

It is clear that Enrique told him when he was leaving. Unlike Augustus, however, Wyve

There seems to be optimism in this regard. "Meta is not Augustus," she said. "Especially after that farce, the public will want us to take action against -"

She stopped talking and touched her earbuds.

"What's wrong?" Ryan asked. "Another late-night commercial?"

"This is the port," Wywen said coldly. "There was a massacre."

As dawn begins to appear on the horizon and he struggles to shake off his sleepiness, Ryan realizes that he should have expected something like this.

He had "seen" the Assassin in the harbor, and the transport of the Deep Sea Orb had been arranged long before the messenger appeared. Of course, even without Ryan present, Zambato's meeting would have been maintained, and with the ghoul captured, Meta sent Sarain to attack the meeting alone.

This seems like a great opportunity to take out a couple of people easily.

"Save his cat," Felix muttered to himself in the passenger seat, and Ryan parked the car in Dy

AMIS is located near the security line set up around the port. "I should sue you."

Ryan looked him straight in the eye. "Cat, your name is Felix."

"It means lucky!" Atomic Cat protested. "You'll never let me forget it, will you?"

"No, never."

"Then I'll call you a quick ghost from now on."

"I'll get straight to it," Ryan sighed. "Sounds like you're interested in me."

"Oh my God, no!" Atomic Cat replied, his tone full of sarcasm. "I don't want this to happen to anyone, you're terrible!" You can't even deal with half of me anyway!"

"Trust me, Kitty, if I take you, the experience will be very intense and you will never be able to enjoy a girl again. The position I invented was so powerful that the authorities had to make it illegal. ”

When they arrived at Rya

At the place where Luigi and his thugs were first met, the two found only the body and private security guards taking pictures at the crime scene. Sarin left several holes in the dock, suggesting that she didn't leave quietly; Her empty hazmat suit had been found, and its contents had been drained. Ryan didn't know if she survived.

The remains of Augustus left nothing to explain.

Luigi and his powerless thugs were torn to shreds by sharp blades, and their bodies were thrown into the sea. Their blood stained the water red. Zambato's armor short-circuited like the last lap, scaring him to death; Considering the hole in his chest, Shalin seized the opportunity to shoot him directly at the vital part, killing him instantly. The samurai lay on his back, a fallen samurai.

"The Punisher is here again," Ryan muttered to himself, feeling a little guilty at the sight of Jamie's body. He likes this guy, but he can't save him in this loop, which makes him feel a little frustrated.

The Courier knew he could bring the swordsman back, he had seen too many people die, already numb, but still.

After a moment of shocked silence, the Atomic Cat seemed to be destroyed and immediately rushed to Zambato's side. ", it's Jamie!"

Huh?" Do you know him?"

"Yes, we were good friends until I left home." The atomic cat examines the corpse with empty eyes. "Mom...... Hmph!"

Ryan didn't say anything, not knowing how to react. His last attempt to comfort others went awry.

"I knew the day was coming, I knew it. But he had a girl at home. Shit. The atomic cat shook his head, clearly distraught. Quick, would you mind giving me a ride?"

"Do you want to see his girlfriend?" Ryan Chai.

"yes, I think it's up to an old friend to get the news across. Even if I destroy that bridge, Jamie deserves it. ”

Rya

Turning to his partner, he remembered how he himself had died at Jamie's house in the previous cycle. "It's not a good idea."

The Atomic Cat looked ready to protest, but to his credit, he sensibly considered the Courier's words. "Do you think they're going to make her their next target?"

Yes. The catastrophe confirmed that the Assassins' target was not Ryan, but the genome associated with Augustus. The Courier feels a little hurt by not having a single secret enemy, though that doesn't explain how the mysterious vigilante calculates his cooldown limit.

Who but Dinamis would be crazy enough to challenge an organization as powerful as Augustus, and who knew Ryan well enough to know his time

Then it clicked.

"Oh," Ryan exclaimed. "Impossible!"

"What?"

"I think I know who did it," Ryan replied with his phone turned on, "it's horrible, it's horrible." "On the one hand, this means another unlock route, but on the other hand, boss fights can be terrible.

The atomic cat broke his knuckles. "So what are we going to do?"

Ryan showed him his phone and traced the location of the hacker's IP address. "Of course we caught the lion in the lion's own den."
