Ryan had to give it to Hector Manada. Despite being much richer than Augustus, he did not show it.

This Dy

The CEO of AMIS lives in a three-story yellow stone estate, within walking distance of his corporate headquarters, north of New Rome. The estate, though large, is insignificant compared to Mount Augustus; This architectural style reminds Ryan of 19th-century architecture in South America, although Hector also has a large collection of Mesoamerican artifacts in his garden. The path leading to the house is lined with statues of the Aztec gods, like a personal guard. Of course, the hotel is full of private security guards equipped with top-of-the-line weapons.

When Rya

On arrival, Su

Ique's helicopter has landed in the garden. Security checked the courier but let him pass unharmed; Apparently, the siblings had warned them beforehand.

Alphonse Manada

se Ma

ADA joined his brothers, and both were supported by an elite security team. Leonard Hargraves landed on the grass, though he didn't light it while he was in the sun. Even Ryan had taken the time to change himself back into his original outfit, and the acid rain had soiled the cashmere suit. When facing the final boss, the player will always behave well.

But the scene quickly disappoints Ryan.

Hector Manada didn't raise his hand to die in the flames of glory, Scarface. He didn't seem to be worried about the city war a few blocks away from his home. In fact, he doesn't seem to be bothered at all.

Because Hector Manada was gardening.

"I suppose it's a family business," Ryan said sarcastically, as the corporate planner was busy tending to an ugly bush of roses. The flower arrangement is terrible and is the work of an amateur.

"Son." Hector Manada, who was short and stocky, with gray hair and a face resembling Pablo Escobar, took off his suit and changed into casual white clothes and a straw hat. If Ryan hadn't seen his face before, he might have mistaken him for a regular employee. "I didn't expect you to come. Especially ...... like this"

His gaze turned to Leo Hargraves. "Shiny company."

"Accident, father?" Alphonse asked, his tone devoid of family warmth.

"Mr. Manada," Leo said politely. "It's been a while."

"I must say, it's not long enough." The CEO replied, and finally he noticed Quicksave. "Who are you?"

"Hi, I'm Quicksave," Rya

Introduce yourself. "I'm the one who ruined all your evil plans, but don't tell anyone."

"My evil plan? The CEO replied with a reluctant smile. "I don't understand."

"I think you know, Father," Enrique said as he straightened his tie. "We destroyed the Powers Gang an hour ago"

"This is an action I didn't authorize," the CEO replied with a frown, then forgetting Ryan's presence and glancing at Alphonse instead. "I don't remember calling you to New Rome either."

"You have betrayed us all, and you have lost any authority over me, father." Alphonse replied. "You want to stay in power so much that you'd rather clone yourself than let us inherit?"

"Clone myself?" Hector Manada pretended not to know.

"We detained him in mental shock, father." Enrique said. "He confessed everything. From your secret deal with Ogre Adam to your mind transfer project"

Considering the timeline of events, Ryan knew it might be a bluff, but it worked. "Is that so?" Hector asked, glancing at the soldiers who followed his sons. The courier could almost see the gears in the CEO's head spinning as he weighed his options.

"We have the recordings, the captured technicians, the evidence of monetary transactions," Enrique continued. "You know the Powers have dug up a mech beneath Rust Town

o

base?"

While he quickly corrected his expression, the CEO's brief expression of genuine surprise told Ryan that no, he didn't. As the Courier had guessed, the Powers had planned to betray him from the start; Take Dy

Amis elixir until they can use Mech

o

of weapons to overthrow the company.

"So you're a traitor, a fool." Alphonse Manada snorted in disgust. He also noticed her surprised expression. "You look down on us so much?"

"Can you blame me, Alphonse?" Hector replied with a sneer. "Sometimes I wonder if you're my own flesh and blood. If I hadn't sent you away, you and Augustus would have turned Italy into a bloody battlefield long ago. ”

"So you sent a madman to fight for you?" Enrique asked, shaking his head. "I remember what you said to me when I welcomed Felix Weran to us. Don't get into trouble. ’”

"Augustus' influence needs to be limited, but we can't afford direct confrontation," Hector retorted. "There's no way we can get rid of him forever."

"We have," Alphonse said confidently. "Gravity gun."

"Your obsession with magical weapons will lead to your destruction," Hector scolds his son. "If yours fail, we'll be an invincible madman with nothing."

"Augustus won't be satisfied," Leonard Hargraves interrupted. "He just wants to take full control of Europe."

"His hubris is meaningless," Hector scoffed. "You don't know him as well as I do, Hargraves."

Sunshine laughed. "I fought Augustus long before you came to Italy, Monsieur Manada. I know him well. ”

"No, Hargraves, because if you know, you'll understand a simple truth. With all his powers, Augustus could establish himself as god-king, make laws, but what did he do? Drug trafficking, money laundering, destruction of existing infrastructure. At the end of the day, Augustus was just a scoundrel with cancer, and he always will. The CEO shook his head in frustration. Don't you understand that we can win as long as we outlive him?" Let nature do its part. ”

"Let countless people suffer at the same time?" Sunshine replied. "Suppose the next generation of Augustus is not made of the same cloth?"

"Well, let's be honest—" Ryan raised his hand to speak on behalf of Livia.

"Your Excellency is talking, Quicksave." Alphonse interrupted.

"Then why are you here?" Ryan replied in a mocking tone, he was much older than the vice president. The nuclear-powered robot glared at him, but the courier wasn't scared at all.

"Enough," Enrique said, a hint of frustration in his voice.

"Are you really that different, Daddy?" Alphonse asked mockingly.

Hector's expression turned to pure disgust. "How dare you compare me to Augustus, my child?" I'll admit that I'm not a saint, but I'm not going around murdering people who have never offended me. ”

"You have made us believe since we were young that Dimenis has a mission. Build back a better civilization based on free markets, the rule of law and individual freedoms. Alphonse's voice grew bitter. A country that will not repeat the mistakes of its pre-war state. However everything you do is repeating the patterns of the past and maintaining a status quo that is not suitable for humanity. This was good for Augustus. ”

Ryan realizes that he'd encountered the type of radiation elsewhere before. Disillusioned idealists.

As he listened to the man's speech, he couldn't help but think of Livia's own situation. Like her, the Manada family are children who disagree with their father's view of the rotten and rigid world of the world. Unlike Livia, who can't escape Augustus' control, Ma

The Ada brothers decided to rebel.

But will it work?

"The kind of inappropriate status quo you are talking about is the only thing we have." Hector replied angrily. "I've finished playing the cards that were dealt to me."

"Whatever your reason, you conspired with the Powers Gang, provided them with corporate resources, and, whether you want it or not, you pretty much got the Ogre Adam the Mech

o

of the technology," E

Ique noted. "We can't let it slip away, and neither can the board."

"I'm the board," Hector replied with a frown.

Ryan couldn't resist. "Nope!"

"Alphonse and I have enough shares to force a vote, and you know that the board of directors and other companies will vote for you to retire," Enrique said. "We have too much evidence that they can't be considered cooperating with psychopaths. Our image and reputation are our armor, but they are also our weaknesses. ”

"The most important thing is that we have the army," Alphonse said. "Don't think you can stop what's coming."

Hector's anger deepened. "Are you going to hurt me, my child?" Your own father?"

"After what you've done?" What are you going to do?" Alphonse asked, looking down at his father. "Yes, I do."

Hector glared at him for a moment, then at his other child. "What's wrong, Enrique?" Do you know what your brother will do if he inherits my place?"

"Yes," replied Enrique, "but dealing with psychopaths is not one of them. ”

"Well said, brother," Alphonse added. "Enrique will be my vice president, and we will clean up the pieces for you. We're going to reinvent Dy

Amis to make it what it should be. A lighthouse that can rebuild civilization, a lighthouse that is not mentally ill and certainly not Augustian. Maybe your dream has failed, father, but we won't. ”

"Come with us, Mr. Manada." The sunlight briefly increased the heat around him. "I guarantee that you will not be harmed and that you have the right to a fair hearing."

"Take the graceful way, Father." Enrique glanced at Alphonse and pleaded. "Otherwise...... There is only another way to go. ”

For a long and painful time, Dy

The CEO of AMIS did not say a word. He slowly looked at his sons, then at Leonard, and finally at the private security guards who supported them. Whether out of fear, disgust, or opportunism for Alphonse Manada, they did not take action to protect their employers.

In Dy

Amis, power seems to be shifting quickly.

In the end, even though Ryan was ready for battle, Hector Manada raised his hand and surrendered. "Fools, you've killed us all."

"This is the new dawn of Dinamis, Father," Alphonse Manada announced. It sounds like he's happy with himself. "It's long overdue."

When the soldiers grabbed Hector Manada's arm, he calmly and solemnly prophesied: "The flood is behind me."

When Ryan glanced at the tall Alphonse who watched his father be taken away, the time traveler realized that he might have let a more dangerous person run Dinamith. "Is this it? The messenger asked Enrique. "He's done so many bad things, are you just going to say it?"

"Do you think there will be a hail of bullets?" Migliore's manager replied coldly. "Unlike Augustus, we don't solve all the problems. My father was a man of many talents, but he was not a fanatic. He would rather be forced to retire than die in vain. ”

"So...... Why, you're going to imprison him on a private island, Napoleon?"

"Almost. If everything goes according to plan, his assets will be confiscated, he will be surrounded by Alphonse's men, and he will stay away from any form of power. Enrique looked at Ryan disapplauded. This is what we adults call diplomacy, Romano. It's boring, but a lot of bloodshed can usually be avoided. ”

It... It's good. Ryan had thought that the change of power would end in violence, because all he knew was violence.

"If only there were more bad guys who could be reasonable," lamented Leo Hargraves. "So, it's all over. Now we have to decide what to do with this bunker. ”

"Not yet, Hargraves," Alphonse said. "There will be a transition of power, and I want you to assist us. I'll pay for your services. ”

"We're not working for money, Fallout."

"You misunderstood me," the cyborg replied with a hint of amusement. "Our goals are the same. We all want to pull Augustus off the throne. Now that my father has been dealt with, it's time for us to focus on the real enemy. ”

With the living sun crossed its arms, this opportunity is too great to be missed. "I'm listening."

"Not there." Alphonse then glared at Ryan. "I've had enough of your blatant rudeness, help. You did your job, but that's about it. I don't care about you. ”

"I love you too, Nagasaki." Ryan replied, ready to leave, completing his plan. In addition, staying in Alphonse Manada's company for too long could have caused him to develop cancer.

Ryan. Unlike radiation, sunlight respectfully bows to the time traveler. "There's something I have to ask you—"

"I'm sorry, Sunshine, I won't be joining your circus," Ryan interrupted. "There's too much hatred."

"I expected that," Leo said with a sigh. "However, I represent the Carnival, no, the whole of New Rome...... Thank you. "Most people don't know it, but your actions have saved countless lives. The history books may not mention you, but we won't forget. ”

"Don't make promises you can't deliver," Ryan replied with a shrug. "But...... Thank you. ”

That shining paladin was too noble to be disgusted.

When Ryan left Manada alone, Enrique decided to personally escort him to his car. "That's not the end, is it?" The messenger asked Blackthorne. I don't think it's an ending at all. "This is just the beginning."

Don Hector wasn't wrong. It's calm before the storm, Romano. My brother is in charge, and he is not as cunning as our father. If Augustus didn't even know that we were working with Hargraves, he would soon know. Even though it has suffered severe damage, the base beneath Rusttown holds a treasure trove of technology, and we must decide what to do with it. ”

"I guess it's the easier part to overthrow your father," Ryan said thoughtfully, his mood shifting from curiosity to a little frustration. "I don't know how to feel."

"I saw your reaction to my brother's speech," Enrique said. "You look...... Very unsettling. ”

Sharp. "When I tried to break free from the shackles of the 'fatherly figure' on me, it ended in his death," Ryan replied, his mind turning to Ryan and Blood. Even if he dies, his influence will still affect his friends. So as I look at the two of you, I can't help but wonder what to expect. ”

Enrique said nothing, for which the messenger was grateful. However, when Ryan put his hand on his Plymouth furious door, Blackthorn walked right in front of him. "You can't leave yet," Dy

The new vice president of AMIS declared. "I told you we'd talk, Romano. We have it now. ”

"What is there to say?" But if it's a gardening class, I think you can make a reservation. ”

"We have a lot to discuss," Enrique said, crossing his arms. "I know your sister was in the bunker at the time of the attack. Meta-Ga

A member of g is found trapped in a bubble and Psyshock's living quarters are ransacked. The strangest thing is that our people can't find the brain scanning technology that our father lent him. ”

"I think you should hire better people to do your grassroots work, Mr. Nepotism."

"I wanted to know what you had at stake in this matter, but now I understand," Enrique said, ignoring the punch. "You've been pursuing this technology since the beginning. The whole exercise was a distraction. ”

"Not really." Ryan's thoughts turned to Jasmin. "If I told you that the Superpowers Gang killed someone I cared about, would you believe it?"

"Permadeath?" Enrique noticed the strange wording, but Ryan didn't enlighten him. "You have also been seen having dinner with Livia Augusti and Fortuna Weland, apparently you brought the latter home. Witnesses said the scene looked ...... It's intimate. ”

"I'm going to put an end to the rumors here," Ryan said, and he immediately sensed danger. “Fo

tu

a Ve

a

Not my girlfriend. I have standards. ”

"I doubt it," Enrique replied coldly. "Panda also told me that a man who fits the description of Mortimer, the killer of Augustus, helps you fight acid rain. You have to understand, I ...... Doubt your loyalty. ”

The messenger shrugged. "I have no allegiance to any faction. I'm an unknown. ”

"So you don't believe anything anymore?" I thought you weren't like that. ”

"Ah, do you care?"

To Ryan's surprise, Blackthorne seems to have done it. "Despite your many shortcomings, Romano, you are a capable genome with a lot of potential. If I don't believe it, I won't give you time for a day. You are a formidable warrior, a skilled tactician, and resourceful. I shudder to think about what you would achieve if you could go beyond childish self-satisfaction. ”

Ryan wasn't sure if it was a compliment or a criticism. Probably both. "I can reciprocate your affection," he said. "I thought you would be much more vicious, but...... You look quite respectable and kind beneath the surface. You can do it for Dy

Amis does more in the world than others. ”

"You're wrong," Enrique replied. "Humans can only do so much on their own. We conquered the planet by sacrificing our individuality for the sake of collective power. While I don't agree with his approach, I agree with my brother's mission statement. Motivation may not always make the world a better place, but it can. ”

"After watching Rusty Town, I'm a little skeptical," Ryan replied, then smiled behind the mask. "But I'm an optimist. People can change. ”

Even with unintended consequences, the failure of the Superpowers Gang puts time travelers in a happy mood. After the darkness of previous defeats, this cycle proved that he can turn things around.

"I don't believe you, Romano. You are elusive, unfaithful to anyone, and probably the most dangerous person I have ever met besides Augustus. ”

"Thank you, newbie."

Enrique puts his hands in his trouser pockets, a perfect reflection of corporate confidence. "However, you may have saved Dy by preventing a catastrophe in a roundabout way

amis。 So, while I don't like to use the word, this time I'm going to look at it from a different angle. However, you are no longer popular in "Millionaire"; I can't ignore your relationship with Augustus. At least Felix burned that bridge. ”

"It's good, I took the job just to do one thing, and it's done." Ryan pointed to the manager. "However, I will retain all the copyrights of the goods. How dare you sell Quicksave models. ”

"I'll do my best to forget your existence."

I feel the same way. Still, I still have to go to the hospital to see my team. Spoiler alert, if you try to stop me, you'll fail. ”

"Here's the thing, Romano. I will allow you to say goodbye to your teammates without interruption, and I will give you a generous compensation for your service. ”Blacktho

and Rya

They looked at each other through their masks. "But then, you and your sister are leaving."

"Where?"

"Anything far, far away from New Rome," Enrique said. "He's going to be busy with handovers for the next few days, so there's no time to do that, but once he's in a secure position, my brother will be after you two. I know him. Your loyalty is too suspicious, your relationship with Augustus is too suspicious, and your sister is too important. ”

Ryan understands that since he is no longer useful, the "Canada" may want him to leave, but the shorty? Why are they so interested in her?" What are you hiding from me, Black Gardener?"

Enrique was silent for a few seconds, his body so quiet that the Courier felt that he might have turned into a statue. "I once asked Ryan Sabino to leave," he finally admitted. "But I can't protect her forever. Alphonse knew where her base was, and he could enter it if he wanted to. Bring what you can and go. ”

Ryan's tone became dangerous. "Is this a threat, newbie?" Because the Superpowers can prove that I'm good at weeding. Your brother won't be the first nuclear device I ever made to explode. ”

"No, Romano, it's not a threat. This is a warning. You may find it strange, but I have no ill will towards you and your family. Blackthorne rolled up his sleeve and looked at the time on his watch. I have to go now. But I think we'll meet again. ”

And Ryan felt it would be even more unfriendly in this situation.

Ryan was halfway to the port when he received a call on his cellphone.

"Livia? He replied.

"Ryan," she replied on the other end of the line, a hint of worry breaking her composure. "How's Felix?"

"Alive, but wounded." The messenger replied. Livia on the other end of the line breathed a sigh of relief. "He'll recover, but they're not allowed to visit yet. I tried. ”

"It's okay, I'm glad he's alive. I haven't informed his sisters yet. I ......," Livia said, choking up, "I'm afraid to hear a different answer. ”

"I'm not going to let him die," Ryan replied. Or rather, he will be reloaded afterwards. "Thank you for sending Mr. Pas-Murel. He couldn't help much, but his heart was the most important thing. I guess you listened to me. ”

"Say we're not enemies?" Livia paused, then continued. "I hope I won't regret trusting you. You do work with my family's old enemy. ”

"Well, if I can reassure you, I just got fired."

She jumped at the chance right away. "Maybe you'd consider coming to work with us?" The Killer of Seven is missing a Violet member. ”

"I'm sorry, princess, but I'm going to keep my free spirit for a while," Ryan replied when he arrived at the port. "I'm not sure if I need my presence. I feel like even without my influence, Dy

AMIS will also attack your pharmaceutical factory. ”

"If it's Dy who does it

AMIS, instead of an unknown political party, my father's reaction would have been different. But we can wait until that clarity is clear. When do you think Felix will be able to receive guests?"

"I'll be honest. I don't know, I'm not even sure if you can go see Atom Kitte

。 ”

Her tone grew stern. "What do you think of Dy

Will AMIS stop us from entering?"

"No, I don't think Felix would want to see you and his family." Don't answer. "Hey, you can try. If I'm right, I can piggyback on you if you need it. ”

The mafia princess was completely silent. Although he only told the truth, Ryan regretted his bluntness. For a moment, he forgot how vulnerable this woman was under the cold exterior. "Livia?"

"Have you ever loved someone?" She asked suddenly. "It's not a one-night stand, is it true love?" So much so that even though you know it's over, you still hold out any hope that you can turn things around?"

"I'm really not the best advisor on this issue," Ryan said sadly as he saw Ryan's bathyscopy near the old docks. "I came to New Rome to chase ghosts"

"So you see," she said, chuckling sadly before relieving herself. "You have lived for centuries. Don't you have wisdom for me?"

"Things can change," the courier admitted, and then thought it through. "But sometimes, it's better to learn to let go. Otherwise you'll hurt yourself. Some wounds will never heal and you have to live with them. ”

Livia seemed to see the wisdom in his words, but she didn't appreciate it. "Thank you for your answer, Ryan."

"You're welcome." The time traveler replied, then fell silent. He remembered the meeting with Dinams.

"Ryan?"

"The Manada family overthrew their father," Ryan said out of nowhere. "They...... Talk things straight and force him to retire. Now they're going to put Dy

AMIS has been revamped better than before. ”

He doesn't even need to elaborate. Livia may have seen similarities in her own situation, but there was a big difference. "My father won't surrender with dignity, Ryan."

No, probably not. Her tone of regret was heart-wrenching.

"I'll get my cat back," Ryan said, changing the subject. "The furry kind."

"I think I can arrange it," she replied with a soft chuckle, though unhappily. Ryan: "Goodbye. ”

"Goodbye, princess." With that, he hung up her phone and parked the car.

Enrique and Alphonse managed to break free from their father's control. So why can't Ryan help Ryan and Livia do the same? The blood had long since died, and Augustus, despite his great strength, could not defeat a small tumor.

"No," the messenger said to himself. "I can't let them win."

He couldn't let it end like this. Again, it's not.

I'll never see you again.

He dismissed those thoughts and got out of the car. Ryan was waiting for him on the waterfront, heavily armed, with two deep-water balls floating in the nearby sea; She held a device in her hand. A gray metal helmet with a protruding tower in front and a plug in the back. Dy

AMIS didn't put its own logo on it, probably to avoid being discovered and related to Meta-GA

g to be linked.

"It's not a good impression," Mr. Ryan said, as he returned to his friends. "I thought there was going to be something more complicated."

"It's just a small part," Ryan replied with a sincere smile. This scene alone made Ryan forget all his troubles for a while. "I'll move the rest to you."

Your place.

Such simple words, yet so powerful. "So, are you serious?" Ryan asked. "Don't you mind if I move to your underwater paradise?"

"Yes, I am," she said, a small smile on her face. "It's over, right?" You don't ...... You don't owe Dy

Amis anything up. ”

"No, I've been fired anyway." Ryan will miss the apartment, and he will steal a cashmere suit as a parting gift. "I'm officially homeless again."

Len considered her words for a moment, but spoke quickly and firmly. "No, Rihanna. No, you're not homeless. ”

Ryan's heart paused, and he had to look to the sea to hide his uneasiness. It felt great to know that Ryan wanted him back into his life. Even though their teenage relationship is long gone, she supports Ryan and he supports her.

With this technology, perhaps his past lonely days can finally come to an end. "Do you think it will work?" Ryan asked for confirmation and prayed not to be disappointed again.

"We need time, but ...... Maybe," Ryan said with a laugh, perhaps for the first time in a long time, she showed optimism. "We ...... We need to take the chronograph radio out of your car. I have a bigger submarine. Take it to the bottom of the sea. ”

Undersea garage. It's incredible.

"Frankly, if this cycle hadn't ended with my Plymouth Fu

I'm going to be very disappointed when I go into underwater mode at the end," Ryan mused, and then a darker thought swept through his mind. "But we may have to move to another place. Dy

Ais won't be away from your base for long. ”

"They won't let us go?" Her sweet face turned into an angry look. "I should have known. They will never be satisfied. ”

"I don't understand why they're so interested in you," the courier admitted. "Yes, you attacked a factory, but that's nothing compared to Augustus and the Super Gang."

"In the end, they didn't pay anything." Len sighed, as if reliving the failed rebellion of her youth. "I don't know, Ri

i…… I feel like what they can't control, they're going to ruin. ”

No. Ryan sensed something bigger at work, and it bothered him. "What did they do when they first caught you?" What questions did they ask?"

"I don't ...... I don't quite remember," she admitted. "The first thing they did was force me to take a DNA test and take a blood sample. Afterwards...... Nothing noteworthy. It's a sales pitch. ”

"You mean blood samples?" Why only blood samples?

Then, it dawned on me.

Memories flooded Ryan's brain, and he suddenly looked at them in a new light.

"Sixty-six years in the lab."

"Enrique should oversee the operation of the entire elixir of life, not a 'millionaire'. He toured the laboratory for two hours and immediately requested a transfer. ”

"If you ask me, I think counterfeits are a bit strange; Even the scientists of Augustus did not find a way to replicate them. ”

" Dy

Amis keeps a close watch on divers"

"You let her go?"

"Our early days are repeated."

"I'm not going to make elixirs. What I did was synthesize a specific resource that mimicked the properties of a true elixir. ”

"It's a shame that I would have liked to compare samples from different genomic relatives."

"Various genomic relatives."

"Genomic relatives."

Unrelated relatives (contacts).

"Ran?" Ryan asked, a terrible suspicion creeping through his mind. “Dy

When did AMIS start producing counterfeit elixirs?" Do you know the exact date?"

"Uh...... I'm not sure, I guess...... I think they have some in development, but they only started to flood the market about three years ago......"

The dwarf kept his mouth shut, and Ryan immediately regretted asking that question. She's smart. She figured it out, too.

"It's impossible," the courier said right away. "It can't be like that."

"But it's going to fit!" Lunn protested, her monotonous voice bursting with genuine affection. That explains everything. It's - - - - - - "

"Lunn, your father is dead." The genius winced as Ryan's tone became extremely serious. "The sun burned him to ashes. I saw it with my own eyes. He's gone. ”

"But if one of his clones ......," Lunn and her old friend looked at each other. You know it's possible, Ri

i。 You just don't want that. ”

No, he didn't. Ryan hopes the nightmare is over. The blood was dead and buried, and could no longer harm his children, adopted or otherwise.

But Ryan never really woke up.

"Reli, I'...... I have always trusted you, even in our ...... I...... After I've killed so many people for you, Reli. "I took your word and gave you a second chance. I...... I'm willing to start over. She held her breath and tried to say something. I was just...... I just want to wrap this up, Rayleigh. I want to know. If... If we're wrong, we can continue. But we need this. We need to check it out. ”

"But what if our hunch is right?" Ryan asked. "What are you going to do?" What are we going to do?"

Len bit his lower lip and looked at his feet without saying a word.

"I'm just ......" Ryan held his breath as he thought about what he was going to say next. I just want to set you free, Lunn. I want you to get rid of him. Exorcise his ghost so he doesn't haunt you. You ......"

He paused. "Say it." Lun said without raising his head.

"You remind me of a caged songbird, Ryan," Ryan admitted. "You can smile and shine like the sun. You can fly away. The cage is open. But you're afraid he'll close the door when you run away. No one will take away your freedom...... But you're still scared. ”

Len looked back at her friend. "Ryan," she said, her eyes steadfast. Not Rihanna. "That's why I'm not going to budge on this matter. I need to know. I... I need to know. In order to put an end to this matter. ”

Ryan wanted to keep arguing, but he could tell in her eyes that it didn't make sense. She won't change her mind.

What's the worst? While he doesn't want to admit it, he also needs to be sure.

"Sixty-Six Labs," the messenger muttered to himself.
