I am a hero of the former civilization.

This young lady is here to do something big, and she might offend some of the biggest bosses in Twilight Street. If they retaliate afterward, how can a nobody like her stay?

Ryan didn't notice the micro-expression and was wandering around the room, which was only twenty or thirty square meters. He saw a broken wall at the back, removed the bricks, and revealed a small courtyard surrounded by a wall.

The yard wasn't big; there was a water pipe hanging at the entrance and a water tank tied to a tree.

"You don't have a place to cook here?"

"No, I just eat canned food when I'm really hungry. I have plenty."

"Taking a bath?"

“I’ve filled the water tank with water. When I turn on the switch, the water flows out, but it’s a bit cold in winter.”

This life is really primitive, like that of a stray cat.

"I'm sorry, my life is usually very simple. I'm content as long as I have canned food and a place to sunbathe. If you don't like this kind of place, I can recommend a safe hotel to you."

"It doesn't matter, I don't have any requirements for where I live." Ryan waved his hand, shattering Padofelis's little trick, and then walked around the courtyard twice.

It's not a large space, but it's very clean. There's a recliner in the corner; if the weather is nice, it would be quite pleasant to lie there and brew a pot of tea.

The wall separated him into a separate space. He jumped onto the top of the wall and saw that all around him were collapsed, dilapidated houses with burn marks.

A fire destroyed the neighborhood, and apparently no one on Twilight Street was busy rebuilding it, so Padofelis chose to do it.

It was very quiet. You could see a church in the distance. They didn't seem to be those religious fanatics. The streets were bustling. Two gangs were fighting. Although it was dangerous, it was full of vitality.

Ryan finally understood the difference between Twilight Street and Snow Prison Town. The people here were used to chaos, so they couldn't feel that oppressive despair.

The people here are truly simple and honest; they never even considered the possibility of collapse. No matter how the world changes, it will always look the same.

Ryan shrugged, roughly understanding the local customs and culture of Dusk Street, then jumped back into the courtyard and crawled back through the hole in the wall.

The orange cat immediately came to his leg and rubbed its head against him. Ryan reached out and rubbed its face and poked its ears. As a result, the orange cat simply lay down on the ground, showing its round belly.

"Hey, I've found that although your place is run-down, it's actually quite comfortable to live in. It's quiet, and you can even play with your cat."

"You've never petted a cat before?"

“I don’t have the time or opportunity, I’m usually too busy, and I’ve never seen such a friendly stray cat,” Ryan said casually. He didn’t need to maintain his Adam persona in front of Padofelis.

He only used his appearance; he had no intention of enduring hardship.

With a flick of the finger, the air current lifted the orange cat up. The fat cat, who had been scratching its back, was stunned for a moment after realizing it had "taken off," and then began to tumble rapidly in the air, like an orange spiral.

Haha, this silly cat is so funny.

Ryan couldn't help but laugh out loud, gently holding it in his arms and stroking its soft fur.

"Being too fat is not good. I'll help you exercise when I have time. I'll use an air treadmill, and you'll lose weight in no time."

meow~

The orange cat let out a weak meow.

"Sister Adam, stop teasing the orange can. It holds a grudge and might pee on your pillow. Come on, the can is ready."

"Do you know?"

meow~

Ryan didn't quite understand, so he assumed it was too scared and slowly got up, feeling that something was wrong.

What sister? Are you talking about me?

He glanced at the face reflected in the orange cat's pupils, then chuckled to himself. The simulated appearance was indeed quite deceptive; even he himself had mistaken it for a cat's at first.

"You've misunderstood, actually I..."

Ryan stopped halfway through his explanation. A petite girl was sitting on the bed opposite him, her legs crossed, looking down as she opened a can of food. A cow cat was standing on her smooth back.

She had already taken off her black strapless top and hot pants. After being freed from her restraints, her breasts sagged due to gravity, and paired with her youthful face and petite figure, they were quite magnificent.

"What's wrong with you?" Padofelis looked up, blinked her blue-green heterochromatic eyes, and then, as if suddenly realizing something, grabbed the cow cat behind her and covered her chest with it.

"We only have two sets of clothes, which we just washed and haven't worn since. Besides, don't you feel quite free being naked at home? Or do you mind?"

"Of course I mind."

The girl was a little confused, then her gaze fell on Ryan's flat chest, and she suddenly realized what was going on.

"It's okay, it's okay. You don't look much older than us, you'll grow taller."

The calico cat's tail swayed back and forth, making her chest itch, so she simply tossed it aside and shrugged.

"The main problem is that we don't have many clothes to wear. Anyway, we're all girls, so it'll be fine for just a little while."

Ryan stared at her intently, glancing at her budding, youthful body.

"Who told you I'm a woman?"

"Aha, are you a man? I've never seen such a handsome man before. Wait a minute, you can't really be a man, can you?"

"Yes, does that mean I should reveal it too?"

Ryan nodded slightly, and Padofelis froze.

The girl looked at the man, and the man stared at the girl. A warm breeze slipped in through the broken wall and brushed against her hair.

A scream suddenly rang out in the abandoned neighborhood.

Chapter 222 Sneaky Cat!

It's quite a strange feeling.

Late at night, Ryan sat in the courtyard, holding the orange cat in his arms, with a can of food he had just finished eating beside him.

He had experienced the so-called "welfare scene" several times before. For example, after Mebius underwent the super transformation surgery, every single hair could be seen clearly. But how should I put it?

Her reaction was too nonchalant, as if she were attending an academic conference, which dampened any desire to investigate further. But Padofelis was different; her reaction was perfectly normal.

"Screaming on the spot and throwing whatever's at you—that's how a young girl would react. No wonder you're an auntie, Mebius."

Ryan chuckled twice. There were too many oddballs around him, so encountering a normal person felt novel. Speaking of the girl's reaction, he suddenly thought of Alicia, who had the strongest girlish aura.

What would your reaction be if Airi offered you a treat?

The man raised his head, looked at the stars in the night sky, and after a long while, he returned to a state of bewilderment.

Damn it, I can't even imagine what she'll do. Who knows what she'll do?

Thinking of this, Ryan smiled, turned his head, and looked through the hole. He could see a tightly wrapped 'caterpillar', with several cats circling around it.

"Pado, I won't lay a hand on you, so why are you so afraid?"

"I'm not scared, I'm just a little cold."

cold?

Ryan glanced at the sky. It was early September, and the weather on Dusk Street wasn't as unusual as in Neon City. It was still a bit muggy. After thinking for a moment, he let out a sigh of annoyance.

Whatever, think what you want.

He would rather think about this normal reaction for a while, because after spending so much time with the wooden stake and the poisonous snake, he would think about it more deeply, in case there was some hidden foreshadowing or some hidden trick.

"Tsk, this is making me neurotic too." Ryan muttered twice, idly opening the wooden crates belonging to the 'Black Blood Gang' and finding them full of weapons and highly concentrated contraband.

It's a good thing you managed to steal all these things, otherwise you wouldn't have been torn to pieces yet.

Ryan once again experienced the good fortune of Paddo; the contents were enough to make ten gangster revenge movies. He glanced at the list casually, his brow furrowing slightly because he was familiar with the place names.

New York, circled in red?

I think I've heard of this name before. Smuggling high-purity contraband right under the nose of the Fire Moth, it seems they have considerable backing.

However, Ryan quickly put it back. He wasn't making a drug-busting or police thriller; he didn't have that much time to be a champion of justice.

So he took out his phone and started reading Sakura's action report.

In the past two days, the fox-eared girl has been walking the line between the rules and the rules. She has killed many of the peripheral collaborators of the Fire Moth, but there is evidence of crimes against each of them.

Headquarters became somewhat uneasy and issued an advisory order, suggesting that he find evidence and then pursue legal proceedings, assuring him that the bad guys would be brought to justice.

But 'Ryan' wouldn't listen at all, sometimes disappearing and sometimes reappearing. The intelligence department could only catch him by the tail, but couldn't carry out any substantial action.

"Himiko and Hua have been transferred to headquarters for a meeting, and another high-ranking fusion warrior has been dispatched to the peninsula. It seems they really know nothing about it?"

Ryan subconsciously stroked the orange cat, his brain starting to work at lightning speed. Just like research, combat also requires evidence, and the Fire Moth's reaction was perfectly normal.

"According to the intelligence Mei has gathered, things are calm in New York as well. The fusion warriors that were previously gathered have returned to their base, and with Hua and Himiko also there, it's as if the gates are open."

The feedback was quite interesting, making Ryan realize he was overthinking things.

Given this situation, he should have focused on the second plan and gone to find Aponia now, but he chose to listen to the voice deep within his heart:

"It's better to be cautious. I don't have any help this time. If they're trying to lure the enemy out, I'll be in big danger."

Ryan licked his lips. The danger came from the Herrschers. He estimated that there were at least two Herrschers now, and he had little chance of winning against two opponents.

"Not to mention the questionable strength of the Herrscher. If the two sides really collude, they might even add a Fusion Warrior, who could kill me in a short time."

I need to be careful. I need to find out the truth and call for Alicia's support. I can't reveal any flaws before that. Ideally, I'll find out everything and then ambush the Herrscher.

Various plans surfaced in my mind, were simulated, and implemented. Listening to the orange cat's purring, I slowly closed my eyes.

Ryan fell asleep while thinking, while Padofelis opened her eyes, listened intently for a while, and then slowly got up.

I finally fell asleep. Heh heh, you didn't expect I sleep during the day and do things at night, did you?

Meow~

The orange cat nimbly approached, raised its tail and swung it proudly a few times, as if it had put Ryan to sleep.

"Shh, don't wake him." Padofelis tiptoed to her feet and peeked into the yard through a hole in the wall.

Ryan lay motionless on the recliner, his white hair obscuring his face, his chest rising and falling slightly, the moonlight bathing him, making his softly shaped face exceptionally beautiful.

'He looks like Sleeping Beauty, not a man at all. Did he use some kind of disguise technique?' Pado was a little confused. She wasn't very educated, and her imagination could only go as far as 'makeup'.

Never mind, I have more important things to do.

She crept onto the roof, then glanced back into the courtyard as if still worried, making sure Ryan was asleep before running along the eaves and disappearing into the night in a few leaps.

However, the moment she turned around, Ryan also opened his eyes.

"He's got a bit of cleverness, and he's quite patient too."
