"You're not human," the film's screenwriter said. "You're a panda who drank the elixir of life."

Ryan was silent for a moment, then exchanged confused glances with Panda and Atom Cat. All three of them sat in chairs next to a cardboard cutout showing Wyve

Turning into a dragon and facing two Dys with very strange ideas

Amis screenwriter. "Excuse me? The panda turned back into its human form and collapsed into a chair and asked. "That's not my tragic backstory!"

"Yes, yes, we understand, but ......" The first screenwriter reminds Ryan of an accountant whose greedy eyes are hidden behind glasses; He traded his artistic soul for a suit that wasn't even made of cashmere. "It doesn't sell."

"What my colleague wants to say is that it's not inspiring enough." At the same time, the other is a living Hollywood cliché. A man in his 30s who thinks wearing a sweater and sneakers will make him look stylish. "Your public image is for the little ones, and your story is ...... I'm sorry to say that, but it's frustrating. ”

Ryan agrees with them on this point. When Panda tells everyone how he became a superhero, the courier thinks it's a fun adventure. Instead, he listened to an epic personal journey straight out of a Rocky movie.

"I think it's very encouraging," Atom Cat argues. "There are so many twists and turns......"

"Yes, but people don't buy tickets to watch heroes fight," Four Eyes said. "They go to the movies to have a good time. Everyone says they hate power fantasies, but they sell well. ”

"That's why I think you're a gold mine, Quicksave," says the fashion writer. Ryan looked at the pass around the man's neck and finally knew that his name was Kevin. "We can shoot a lot of cool scenes with your powers, and I feel like you're probably going to be the next action movie series."

"Honestly, I'm more like

grade black comedy fodder," Ryan said with a shrug.

Felix glanced at the panda, growing annoyed. "What do you think?"

"To be honest, Panda is excited to have a movie to watch." The bear replied.

"You want to be portrayed as ......" Felix struggled to find the right wording. A mascot held up in the air?"

"And, it's not Elixi

How it works, "Rya

Pointed. "About two hours ago, we had a fair site."

"Moviegoers don't care how well it works," Mr. Four Eyes said. "But turning a bear into a man is more appealing to a child than a bear becoming a man."

"I understand your suspicions, but that's because you haven't read the full script for Pandamania," Kevin argues with a laugh. "The movie begins with an eight-year-old boy—"

"I'm leaving." Felix said suddenly, getting up from his seat and looking at Ryan. "Coffee?"

"Coffee break," the courier replied, then patted the panda on the back. "Want something, my red panda?"

"It's nothing, thank you, Master." Green Genome replied a little awkwardly. "The coffee gave me ulcers."

Ryan and Felix left Panda alone with the company's lunatics as they made their way through Warehouse Six at Starry Sky Studios. After passing Ty

a

After extensive testing, the team traveled there to shoot a scene at the end of the latest film, Millionaire, and discussed possible plans for a separate license. Countless engineers, actors, and technicians work here, although Millionaire is Dy

AMIS Company's cash cow, but the company's film division produces everything from romantic comedies to action movies.

Ryan had thought the Vulcans were going to ruin the place, but the genius was surprisingly quiet in this loop. A disgrace. He could have enjoyed a little chaos because of Dy

AMIS is entirely focused on tedious money-making movies rather than more creative ones.

The wardrobe is busy playing Wyve

stunt actresses, dressed in superheroine costumes, floating in front of a green screen; The computer engineer then replaced Yuki's face with a CGI model of the Yuki template. The more Ryan learned about the power of the "closet," the more he felt that "copyright" restrictions were just a way for her to systematize them. According to his understanding, her power determines whether a character "can" be copied, or whether it belongs to someone else. Since Dy

amis allows her to play Wyve

, she can do so, even if the character is copyrighted.

This also explains why she was able to dress up as Augustus. Lightning Ass is saddled with the myth of Zeus, and people are beginning to confuse the two characters.

"You know, kitten, I've been bothered by Dr. Terranor," Ryan admitted, and they made their way to the nearest break room.

"His obsession with dinosaurs?"

"No, it's a name," Ryan explained. "It shouldn't be Dr. Terranor, add a '

'What?' Love Ty

a

osau

e?"

"I thought only the French could write that." Felix replied with a snort. "Besides, it's his real name: Alain Terranor."

"The dinosaur scientist's last name is Terranor?" Ryan asked, raising an eyebrow. "It's like calling your son Van Doum, he's going to be a supervillain when he grows up."

"Yes." Just like the rest of the building, Dy

AMIS has also designed the lounge to be as stylish and aesthetically pleasing as possible. The hall has leather sofas, round tables, and even a holographic fireplace with a view of the park outside the studio. The two walked to the nearest coffee machine and waited behind a line of hand addicts and overworked trainees. "So what's your plan, Quicksave?"

"You're so bold to think I have one," Ryan replied. "Usually, I just improvise until things work out. The only plan that won't fail is the one you don't have a plan for. ”

"You know what I mean," his teammate said with a frown. "Why the hell did you want to join Dinas Dinis?" I can tell you're not the kind of person to be a celebrity, and you're playing some kind of long-term game. ”

"You too, kitten." They finally arrived at the ATM, and Ryan put 50 euro cents into the slot. The machine soon began pouring cappuccinos into paper cups. "What makes you want to leave the family?"

"Great," he replied, asking for a regular cup of coffee.

"Isn't it milk? I was disappointed. ”

"If I change my superhero name, can you stop making fun of cats?"

"No, I won't."

"You're the worst." Felix sighed, grabbed his glass, and pointed to the couch by the window. Both heroes sat on it, peacefully looking at the green landscape outside the glass. "I'm leaving because of Bliss."

yes, Ryan guessed it too. "Because they forced your sister to do it?"

"Part of it," Felix replied with a frown. "What the hell do you know about me?" Are you a professional spy?"

"If I were, I'd drive an Aston Martin," Ryan joked, enjoying the taste of his cappuccino. "I know you're Ma

s and ve

Son of us, you and Za for the time being

bato, Sphe

e and Chitte

Share an apartment. ”

"Did Enrique let you spy on me?" Felix misunderstood the situation and asked. "Make sure I'm not a mole who gives information to my family?" Because he has excluded me from any real action. ”

It makes a lot of sense. Knowing Blackthorne, he may have thought that the Atomic Cat was more valuable as a hostage or intelligence source than as a hero. "No," Ryan replied as he sipped his coffee. "I have a good feeling for people who are fleeing toxic environments."

"Blood?" Seeing Ryan's reaction, Felix chuckled, rejoicing at beating him for the first time. "I did my homework, too."

"Do you know what's the worst?" Ryan asked, his mind turning to Ryan. "Even if it's dead, buried...... He is still in control of his daughter, and I don't know how to break it. ”

Felix waited a few seconds before asking the question that burned his lips. "Did you kill him?"

"No, but I arranged for his death." Hearing Ryan's blunt confession, Atom cringe. "Do you hate your parents, Felix?"

"I don't want them to die, but I don't mind dishonoring them. They had blood on their hands and dragged my sisters into the family business. They forced one of them to make drugs and persuaded the other to join the Seven Killers. Felix shook his head in disappointment. I had expected that my departure would force them to reconsider their choice, but Augustus was too in control. ”

Judging by the information Ryan gathered, his departure did shake his family, but they either blamed Dimenis or hoped he would return. No one in Augustus would turn his back on the Order, except for Vulcan, who was disloyal from the start.

Atomic Cat glanced at something outside the window and frowned, and Ryan quickly recognized what it was. A very familiar rat observes the duo from under the bushes and then quickly flees the studio's park when spotted.

"Chirp," the atomic cat said with a frown. "She's always staring at me."

"You're almost?" Rya

asked, wondering if a swarm of rats would suddenly appear and destroy the studio.

"So you don't know everything."

"I don't know, but I'm sure you'll tell me soon!"

Felix snorted, but relented. "Zambatoar and I used to be best friends. So much so that we shared an apartment for a few months, and then I decided that I should have my own house. ”

"What has changed?"

"Someone stole the Bliss batch from Mercury's department, and Zambatoar worked there. The staff of the casino distributes it to customers, either for entertainment or to blackmail them. I'll help Za

Solve the case, and it turns out that the thieves are all smart rats. ”

"Chirp," Ryan guessed.

"Yes. We followed the animals to their hostess, and then ......" Felix paused for a moment, looking into the distance. "It's ...... It's a scary sight, man. She crouched in an abandoned apartment full of rodents, and she ......"

"Hey, good boy." Ryan put his hand on his teammate's shoulder. "If it's too hard, don't push yourself."

"This ...... This is good. "The would-be hero regained his composure." Did you know that Bliss can even affect the genome?" When we found her, it was overdosing her. Her nose and eyes were bleeding, Ryan. She had mold on her skin. If we hadn't found her and rushed to the hospital, she might have died. The doctor saved her life, do you know what the first thing she wanted?"

Ryan frowned, having already guessed. "Happiest?"

"Happier people. The poison didn't just ruin her life, Ryan. It enslaved her body and soul. Atom made a look of disgust. This was a fucking wake-up call for me. ”

"But Zambato, didn't you?"

"Kudo......" Felix's expression turned into a contemptuous mockery. Jamie feels like a good person, but he doesn't know what it's like to be free. He owes his entire life to Augustus, and he could not imagine life without him. Yes, he went the extra mile to keep Kijeong clean, but he just wanted to alleviate his guilt. He didn't want to support Bliss's business, but eventually, he did. ”

The traitor drank his cup and threw it into the nearest trash can with astonishing precision.

"It opened my eyes," Atomic Cat continues his story. "I talked to Nasinia and she admitted that she never wanted to make that medicine. But whenever she wanted to stop, our parents always made her feel guilty. "It's for the greater good of the family, my dear." Or "Addicts commit suicide because they can't control themselves." And Jamie, he keeps Ki-jeong stuck in the mafia lifestyle instead of stopping her. When I realized how deep it was, I couldn't stay any longer. ”

"Either way, I think you made the right choice," Ryan said, adding that the story has a lot of similarities with his own. "You have the right to drive harmful people out of your life."

"If it's just me, Ryan ......," Felix sighed. My family has killed a lot of innocent people and corrupted a lot of good people. I thought Dy

Amis was able to help me change, but right now, I don't know what to do. As far as I can see, each of them is bad in its own way. ”

"Things are going to change," Ryan said, trying to cheer him up. "No matter how bleak."

His teammates scoffed at it. "You sound like a self-help manual."

"That doesn't mean I'm telling you," the courier replied solemnly. "It can always be improved. But even if you fail, you have to keep trying, again and again. This is the hardest part. ”

He wasn't sure if the words were said to Felix or to Ryan, but he had to say them anyway. Both fell into an awkward silence, neither of them knew what to say next, and neither wanted to return to the screenwriter.

Then, disaster struck.

"Felix!"

Her shrill voice sent shivers down Ryan's spine like death crawling out of the underworld. Felix had the same reaction, and when he looked back, his eyes widened in horror. "Tell me I'm dreaming......"

"Oh no, you're not!" Fortuna walked over to their couch, dressed in a sleek blouse and skirt that exposed her legs for everyone to see. She smirked and glanced at Ryan as everyone stared at her, as if wishing he did the same. "Our roads cross again!"

But to her outrage, Ryan completely ignores her and focuses on the keycard hanging around her neck. Where did she get her pass?

Wait, stupid question. Of course, the pass will magically fall into her hands!

"How the hell did you get in?" Felix asked his sister, apparently not at all happy to see her.

Fortuna replied: "The film company draws and the winner will receive a guest pass." "That's not the way to say hello to your beautiful sister."

"Dimis let you in?" Felix almost choked.

"Of course the police let me in, why not?" Look at me. I am me. Fortuna put her hand on her waist. Although they wanted to poach me, I had to promise that I would consider it. Do you know what you made me do, you ungrateful child?"

"I didn't call you, sister."

"You leave me with no choice!" Fate complained. "Neither of you will leave a message!"

"Wait, you don't have any?" Felix looked at Ryan suspiciously. "How do you know my sister?"

"That madman almost hit me with his car!" Fate complained. "When I asked him to take me and Levi home, he drove away like a barbarian!"

Ryan said expressionlessly, "Since then, I have regretted saying the word 'almost.'"

"Y-how dare you say that!" She protested, then put on an arrogant face. "But if you treat me to coffee, I think I'll forgive you. But my taste is expensive, and I hope you're not as poor as you think—"

"Is she always like this?" Ryan asked Felix, and Fortuna glared at him.

"It's unfortunate." The atomic cat sighed heavily.

"No wonder you're running away from home."

"I should have known you were going to be a good match, you two are making people angry!" Fortuna crossed her arms. "Ferris, I'm here to take you home"

"Then you'll leave disappointed." The actor replied angrily. "I told you. Unless you leave the assassination team, there's not much to say between us. ”

"We're not assassination squads, we're bodyguards!" Fate said. Clearly, she did not understand the gravity of her situation. "We protect the Olympians. It's just that sometimes, we get the first strike!"

"By murdering someone whom Augustus considered a possible threat?" How long before you meet someone who denies your strength, and then your luck runs out?" The atomic cat roared. "You're an Assassin, Fortuna, and to me, you're an Assassin unless you leave this."

"What about Nassinia?" Do you know how sad she is when you're gone? And what about Levi, you selfish bastard?" Fortuna blamed her brother. "We watched the news, you're in Rust Tow

Fight the Psychos. Don't you think we're all worried about you?"

"I can take care of myself." Felix stood up from his seat as he spoke, his tone full of viciousness as he faced his sister. "Get out now, or I'll take you out myself."

"I wouldn't have left without you!"

The two begin to argue so loudly that they completely forget about Ryan's existence, with Fortuna accusing Felix of abandoning their family and her brother accusing her of joining the Seven Killers. Technicians looked at the scene in embarrassment, and some security personnel didn't know if they should intervene.

Ryan sipped a cappuccino while allowing the siblings to argue, causing his cell phone to ring. "Oh my gosh, another unknown number," the courier muttered as he answered the phone. "It's getting old-fashioned."

“Quicksave ?” The voice on the other side was a man's, and it sounded familiar. Ryan was sure he had heard it before, but he couldn't remember the name or the face.

"The only one, but I'm in between two jobs right now," Ryan warned. Come to think of it, he had never received that call in the previous cycle. He wants to know what's changed?" Who are you?"

"My name is Leonard Hargraves. We met four years ago, do you remember?"

Ryan immediately froze in place, confirmed that the siblings could not hear him, and then replied. "How could I not?"

"I know we don't have a good history working together, but a colleague of ours suggested we reach out to you." Ryan heard voices in the background, like someone was talking to the "living sun" on the other end of the phone. "Is the atomic cat with you?"

"Maybe," Ryan replied with a narrow eye. "What are you looking for us?"

"I think you already know, but that's okay. My group has just arrived in town and I want to know if you two are available to meet us. As far as I know, we all want to cure the cancer that infected New Rome. ”

Yes, they did.

"It's time for someone to clean up the trash.
