I'm the former civilized Yingjie

"How to say?"

"Those humanoid monsters sent by the Fire Chaser Moth came here. After searching for a long time, they found nothing. There is a legend in Snow Prison Town." He cleared his throat and sang in a strange voice:

"A ghost is wandering in the snowfield. It has countless eyes and ears. When you look for it, you find nothing. When you worship it, it will appear before your eyes again."

Ryan stood quietly, repeating his words in his mind. The humanoid monster must be referring to the fusion warrior. It is probably a Honkai beast.

Spiritual?What about worship?

“Where did this song come from?”

Patina didn't hide anything. He raised his hand and pointed somewhere. Ryan looked over and saw a figure in a robe whispering to a customer.

He may have angered someone, been punched to the ground, or spat on, but he didn't resist and just stood up silently and walked towards the next person.

In this crazy nightclub, the silence seemed very mysterious.

"That is?"

There was a trace of disgust on Qing Rui's face, and he shook his head and said: "A lunatic, lunatics can be seen everywhere here."

......

It was late at night, and the lights in the room were flickering. This was due to unstable voltage. The room was cramped, with only a bed, a square table, and a smelly toilet.

This is the best hotel in Snow Prison Town. It costs thirty rounds of ammunition or two cans a night. Ryan washed his face, sat at the square table, and listened to the gasps of 'oh oh oh' next door.

After one day here, he has roughly figured out what the abandoned area is like. It is a paradise for venting desires and negative emotions. It is the sewer of the world. But if you think about it carefully, it is better than the survivors in the occupied area.

At least the Honkai Impact Disease has not spread yet, and there is a chance of survival.

Lane is hardly a partner in justice, being a calm and rational person who knows that there is no point in being a Madonna.

He can't change enough food to feed all mankind, nor can he create a better system. To be more precise, he can't even judge who is a good person and who is a bad one.

The one who can make judgments is 'God', and he, Ryan, is just a human being.

"Forget it, let's think about my business. According to Bronze's information, this snowfield is not that simple. No matter how powerful the force is, it must be hit on the enemy to be effective."

Ryan estimated that there was a strange Honkai beast, which was like an early warning radar. It monitored the reaction of Honkai energy in the area and hid when it noticed the appearance of the fusion warrior.

For a moment, he felt there was some trouble and thought of hunting somewhere else, but he quickly gave up the idea.

"Honkaimon with unknown abilities, no, this area is filled with an unknown aura. It's really interesting."

This instead stimulated his desire to explore. After all, Ryan's destiny was not to simply kill, but to compete with each other to see who could do more, and he preferred the vague "smell" of Honkai.

It is difficult to understand, it constantly brings surprises, and it requires humans to explore.

Those madmen from the faith sect are not that simple. Theoretically, it is impossible for them to have contact with the Honkai Beast, but there is no absolute in everything.

Ryan was thinking about this aspect when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. He frowned and stood up to open the door. After thinking about it, he pulled out a loaded pistol.

The door opened a small crack, and he immediately saw a girl standing at the door. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with chestnut hair and a delicate appearance. She was wearing a white dress and gray pantyhose.

She seemed to be very cold, so she controlled her trembling body and forced a smile: "Sir, do you want to serve?"

Chicken girl?

Ryan looked her over and shook his head: "No."

After saying that, he closed the door and saw a small black leather shoe blocking the crack of the door. Just as he was getting impatient, he heard the girl's pleading voice.

"Please be kind, if I don't get any business tonight, I will be sold to a tavern."

"Does that make any difference?"

"When you go out to do things, you at least have the right to choose. If you stay there, you will have to accept all kinds of perverted customers."

This... is so realistic.

Ryan looked at the girl outside the door again, this time more carefully, and turned slightly sideways.

"come in."

The girl showed a relieved smile and hurriedly squeezed into the room. She was obviously very familiar with the layout of this room. She immediately found the bed and took off her coat, revealing her fair skin.

Her movements were very skillful. As soon as Ryan turned his head, he saw the girl stripping down to her underwear, revealing her thin and white back with many scars on it.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

The girl turned around blankly. Her breasts were not big, but they were very firm due to her age, and her stockings also had many loose threads. She tilted her head, and it took her a long time to react.

"You like doing it with your clothes on?"

"I have no intention of doing anything with you."

Then why did you let me in the house, to chat?

The girl blinked, and Ryan was no longer bothered to guess the riddle with her.

"Put on your clothes, sit here, and chat with me." Ryan opened a can of luncheon meat and added: "Let's chat while we eat."

What kind of weird habit is this? Why do I feel like this gentleman is a bit perverted?

The girl was a little wary. This man looked mysterious, but when she saw the can, she swallowed again and hurriedly put on her clothes.

The lights in the room were still flickering on and off, and Ryan was sitting on a tattered chair, chatting casually with the girl.

Her name was Christy, and she had just graduated from high school when the Third Collapse occurred. She used to live in Havit in the east, and then her family fled to Gothenburg when the Fire Chaser retreated.

It is a pity that their family did not obtain the right of residence. In addition, their mother suffered from Honkai disease and had to be kept out of the city. They were also defrauded of all their savings by scammers.

Seeing that things were not progressing, her father took the family and left again, preparing to try their luck in the next city.

Then on the road, the cold, bandits, and Honkai Beasts took away the lives of her whole family. She ended up in Snow Prison Town, and there was nothing to say after that.

Her body is her only capital. Only by selling her body can she obtain food and shelter. Everything goes smoothly.

Ryan was a little silent. These things all happened within a year, which was enough to subvert a person's outlook and destiny.

"You haven't thought about what to do in the future?"

"Sir, I have no future. I can only recall my past life in my dreams." The girl smiled numbly and miserably, pointing to the empty can, "My future is to eat as much as possible, and then not get sick. I met a kind-hearted guest like you.”

Life is just inertia.

Ryan nodded and asked again: "Is that why you went to that church to seek salvation? Don't you hate Honkai?"

"Hate, but there is no way. I am not the only one who has encountered this kind of thing. It will be the same in Gothenburg or other cities. I have to pray for them."

"Pray for what?"

"Being killed directly by Honkai, unlike me, who didn't have the courage to die and could only struggle in hell. As the priest said, in this kind of world, a direct and simple death is a blessing."

Christina's eyes were hollow, numb and made people afraid to look directly at her. From a psychologist's point of view, anyone who encounters drastic changes in a short period of time will become more or less abnormal.

Ryan looked away slightly. He had no intention of refuting. He didn't want to be a virgin when he let this girl in. The reason was very simple.

He felt a faint smell of collapse in the other party.

Chapter 162 My path of development

Ryan is not a nosy person, in other words, he is very knowledgeable.

Of course he could use his authority to let the girl return to her previous life, but he couldn't heal her psychological trauma, let alone save all the people who had suffered similar experiences.

He couldn't do it, the Thirteen Heroes couldn't do it, and neither could the fire-chasing moth.

So Ryan didn't think too much, nor did he refute the other party, saying that you shouldn't turn hate into love.

The future is like an abyss, and he only focuses on the present, just like the Honkai energy anomaly in the girl.

"How many times a week do you go to church?"

"Both times, you can sleep there. It's very noisy when you go back to the store. Sometimes you'll be called up to help if you fall asleep."

"Just sleep?"

"Ah."

Ryan stared into her light blue eyes to make sure she wasn't lying, but he murmured in his heart.

Strange, could it be an instrument error?

He quietly measured it with a detector. The girl's Honkai energy was a few percent higher than that in the air. She was not a Honkai disease patient. Generally speaking, this kind of energy should not appear in ordinary people.

Either it was the remnants of frontline soldiers or the contact in the laboratory. The other party had nothing to do with these two.

This is unscientific. Honkai has nothing to do with mystery, religion, or ritual. It is just an imaginary energy. It’s really...

It makes people excited.

He originally thought it would be the same as the previous times, he came, hunted, patted his butt and left, and at most gained some experience from the journey, but he didn't expect that the water inside was so deep.

"Are you interested?" the girl asked timidly.

"A little."

"Then let me take you to see it when you have time. In fact, it is just a house that can shelter you from the wind and snow, and there is nothing mysterious about it." The girl forced a smile and praised: "Father Gemel is a good man and has supplies. We can eat for free when the time comes, and we don’t need to sleep with him.”

But his faith collapsed.

Ryan couldn't understand what these people were thinking, but he knew the power of religion, which could turn killing into salvation and destruction into a test. Just like this Christina, who clearly had a deep hatred for Honkai.

After all, he is powerless. The tragedy has happened, and he is unable to resist. He has to find some reason. At least destruction and death are painless, and Honkaimon and Herrscher are also very fair.

No matter how strong or weak you are, whether you are superior or inferior, killing them all is indeed a kind of salvation for those who are struggling in pain.

"Then let's talk about it. I will go take a look when I have time and listen to what they think."

"Okay." The girl stood up slowly and started to take off her clothes again, which made Ryan feel dizzy.

"No, our transaction is over."

Christina was startled, her eye circles quickly turned red, and she pointed at the heavy snow outside the window.

"But it's cold outside..."

"I don't mean to chase you away. Just sleep well and leave again tomorrow morning. I'll go out for a walk."

After saying that, Ryan picked up the rifle and walked out the door without waiting for an answer.

boom.

When the door closed, Christina didn't come back to her senses at all. She sat like a sculpture. It took a long time to regain her expression.

It was not joy, but tears falling down one by one, falling on the tattered pantyhose and melting. She had never met anyone who respected her, even if this gentleman made her afraid.

"I actually met some good people. Didn't they say they were extinct in the abandoned area?"

After a while, she looked at the satchel next to her. The cans exposed inside made her swallow.

The girl quickly closed her eyes, quickly jumped onto the bed, and then huddled up, fighting against her seemingly insatiable appetite.

I can't do this, this is the only dignity I have left as a human being.

"It's still that annoying feeling. It's just a few hundred kilometers away from the normal world, but it's like living in a different world."

Ryan walked through the snow and tightened his collar a little. The most annoying thing was that this was not another world, but still on the earth. But at the same time, he felt more satisfied.

Explore the reality of the world!

The fun with Alicia and the others was real, the fight with the Fire Moth was real, this rotten and numb place was also real, Ryan gradually understood.

The so-called way of development naturally requires seeing different scenery, and the most important thing is——

"Do you want to maintain your true self, maintain your firm beliefs, and not be assimilated by external things?"

Ryan seemed to understand why he was not possessed by magic, because he was exploring the unknown, and the unknown was full of terror.

He didn't care what the girl would do. He only walked around the town twice, broke the noses of several thieves and robbers, and then climbed directly over the container to the outside of the town.

The wind and snow were so heavy that it was impossible to see clearly, and the militants in the outpost huddled in their sentry boxes and refused to come out.

It's obviously spring, but the snow is abnormally heavy.

"Fortunately, I don't use my eyes to see."

The air flow picked up a bit of white snow, like an invisible hand reaching into the distance. The advantage of the power of wind is that the Honkai energy is extremely low and difficult to detect.

Not even the field mice, were they all eaten?

There is no breath of life, it is unnervingly quiet, and there are no secret passages or underground laboratories. No wonder the third team can't see the problem.

Ryan was like an ice sculpture in the wind and snow. He didn't move at all for a long time. He slowly spread his authority outwards. After about an hour, he opened his eyes.
