I'm the former civilized Yingjie

Isn't that underground fortress built for this purpose? With the help of a large number of fusion warriors, there is no safer place in the world than New York.

The positions of those people are not important, because this is the fundamental interest of most parliamentarians.

"It seems that the Seventh Herrscher has also helped me and greatly accelerated the progress." Ryan was a little sad that one day he would have to thank the Herrscher. "When you are all sent out, the time will definitely come."

"This does not include me. In any case, they need a weak enough hostage, which is not easy to solve." Mei replied in a mocking tone.

Mei is the key node. She is too important, both to the Parliament and to Ryan, and this is a dead end.

Without Kevin by her side, she would be just an ordinary researcher. Not to mention fusion warriors, even a few agents could kill her. At most, Velvet would leave some self-defense items for her.

"Because you are very important. As long as you are within control, the Fire Chaser is sure that I won't dare to take action?"

"So Ryan, do you care about my safety?"

"Nonsense, the lives of those people combined can't compare to one of your hands."

"So you want to be patient? Or are you trying to play some trick?" Mei's tone was very calm, as if it had nothing to do with her.

"Tricks can only deceive the mentally retarded, but don't worry, I have already prepared a back-up plan. If you take the time to find Mebius, she will give you a gift, a gift that is enough to solve the predicament at hand."

A gift that can break the situation?

Mei felt a little curious, and then hid this curiosity well.

"Okay, then I'm looking forward to your gift."

After hanging up the phone, Ryan glanced at the dark night outside, took a gentle breath of the cool air, and in a flash, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Unexpectedly, from the moment I joined the Fire Chasing Moth, I started planning to become the second five, no, to optimize the organizational structure, reduce internal friction, and then the Herrscher would come to help.

The Seventh Herrscher has greatly accelerated the progress. As Mei said, whether they are truly considering humanity or want to save their wealth and life, those councilors will go to the underground fortress in New York.

The defenses are definitely there, and they are tight, but guess what?

The person in charge of the construction is Weiwei. I know much better than you about where the emergency entrances and exits are in the underground fortress. The foreshadowing has been laid long ago.

"Is something on the horizon?"

"Well, there was an accident, but the progress accelerated." Ryan turned around casually, his eyes froze for a moment.

Apponia did not wear a nun's uniform at this time, but changed into a purple suspender nightgown and a brown shawl.

This is not too revealing, and it is even wrapped a little tightly. You can only vaguely see a deep ditch reflecting light under the bright moon, which is white and dazzling.

It is precisely this kind of haziness that is more eye-catching. It is the kind that has no temptation, but is as obscure and quiet as a half-held pipa.

Aponya was stunned, and the mole at the corner of his eye turned up slightly, looking very happy.

"I didn't expect that fate would start to flow so quickly. It's really amazing. Whenever you hesitate, something will happen to come out and give you a push."

"Are you waiting for a good show?"

"That's why I'm here with you."

Nagging.

Ryan ignored her and held his hand on the railing, looking at the Tiber River not far away and the huge shadow on the other side of the river.

"It's still a while before the show starts, and they have to play the power game for a while, so we'll have to stay in Rome for the time being."

"Don't worry, I'm very satisfied with my current life, but I will be prepared." Aponya replied softly, slightly pursed his lips, "But Mr. Lane, I have a small request."

"Just call me by my first name. Now we can be considered a community of interests."

"It's like this. I'm a little bored after staying here for a few days. If possible, can I go to the cathedral to have a look?"

Ryan frowned and quickly realized that Aponya had no other thoughts. She was a real nun and she had never left Twilight Street.

As a clergyman, of course he longed for the holy city of Rome. Moreover, Apponia was too cheerful and he always felt that he owed someone a favor. After all, there was no 100% success rate for fusion surgery.

"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow and let Qianjie and Pado look after the house."

"This is an unexpected surprise, but can Qianjie survive?" Aponya was very happy, but also full of doubts.

Qianjie could demolish a house, but he certainly couldn't look after it.

"Don't worry, I already know how to get along with him. This guy is very competitive. Let me compete with him again tomorrow."

"Contest?"

"Well, let's compete with him to see who can teach Pado High School mathematics first. Qianjie has a bad temper, but in order to win, he is very determined and can definitely persevere."

puff.

Aponya couldn't help but laugh out loud. This Ryan had captured Qianjie's psychology and used it to his death. She thought about it and felt that Ryan had been subtly changing a truth recently:

Fighting and victory are more than just fighting, winning is winning.

But it would be really cool to capture Qianjie's competitive spirit. Maybe it can temper that person's temperament?

"But doing this will cost the disciple a bit."

"Pado can't always be so timid. He still has to grow up, and the thousand calamities are not that scary. He looks violent, but he is actually very delicate at heart. After getting along with us these days, he has actually accepted us without saying anything. ”

Ryan stood with his hands behind his hands, looking well-intentioned.

Paduo in the room turned over, his hair suddenly stood up, and he looked to the side warily.

Sister Nia is not here, so I have to go to the toilet.

She smacked and smacked her mouth, but the plump nun couldn't hold her and she always felt empty, so she had to face inside and hug the quilt.

Well, I can't eat anymore...

Chapter 254 Star God is also a god!

Just after noon, even though it is close to November, the Mediterranean climate does not seem so cold.

A few bunches of vines fell from the retro balcony, and happened to sweep through Ryan's hair, causing a slight itch. His leather shoes stepped on the stone pavement, and his eyes looked around happily.

The city has not changed, the cafes are still full of people enjoying the sunshine, the sound of jingling sounds is heard, and the special tourist carriages pass by slowly.

There would have been no changes in the first place, and the Fire Chaser Moth was not a fool, so how could he reveal the Seventh Herrscher? With its terrifying killing power, it was basically impossible to hide.

Ordinary people can't do anything to help. If the Herrscher really comes, death in ignorance will appear full of humanity.

You, on the other hand, have a really good attitude. Is this the calmness of the people who eat melons?

Ryan stopped rolling his eyes and saw a nun sitting next to the alley. There was a drawing board in front of her and she was lightly drawing with a pencil.

Pedestrians passing by would occasionally stop and pray to the nun, and Aponya would return the favor with a smile.

A beautiful nun, a perfect nun.

Behind her is a wall of blooming flowers. Her expression is neither serious nor frivolous. Her figure is obviously so good that it can be seen, but it is difficult for people to feel blasphemous.

Intangible temptation is the most deadly, and it barely qualifies for her.

Ryan looked at it with an expression of admiration, not worried that Aponya would reveal his identity. Originally, the matter on Twilight Street could not be investigated in depth. As for the identity of the nun, it may be noticeable in other places, but in this holy city, it is simply too common. .

Forget it, as long as she is happy, but her temperament is really mysterious.

They came out in the morning. Aponya visited the places of interest in the city and then found a corner to paint quietly, even calmer than him.

I'm going to have a headache about what to do next, but it's better for her to just observe quietly, but it will be hard on you, my good apprentice.

Ryan thought of the scene when he went out. Pado's big eyes seemed to be able to speak, with words like 'Teacher, you plotted against me' written all over it.

You will definitely not be able to run away if you are scolded. Qianjie is not as patient as me, but don’t be afraid. Brother Jie is also a good person.

He's a little irritable, but what Qianjie wants most is not killing. Well, I'm exchanging feelings for you.

If Qianjie was really a murderous lunatic, he would not have been willing to be tied up and bled by a group of natives, and would have avenged them after the village was destroyed.

"Do you want a family? You're just too stubborn."

Ryan smiled subconsciously. When he looked up, he happened to see Aponya put down the brush and walked over curiously.

"Did you finish the painting?"

"Well, I kept you waiting."

Ryan raised his eyebrows when he stretched out his head to take a look. The painter was very good and he could tell that he had some sketching skills, but the content was a bit scary.

It was a shattered building with flames all around. Some monsters with faces like octopuses were walking through the ruins, making him look up and around.

The quaint houses, quiet alleys, and lively cafes have nothing to do with the things in the paintings, but Ryan is not stupid either.

"What you're painting is the future?"

"I can't say for sure, I just let my mind go and let my hands describe what I see."

What you see is not the same as mine. It has already transcended physical vision.

"You mean, something is going to happen in Rome?"

"Maybe, maybe not."

Ah, this is why I hate magicians, they are not scientific at all.

Ryan scratched his neck and slowly straightened up: "Do you want to continue?"

"Of course, if you are afraid of the future, you will inevitably have nothing to do. As long as you are here, the future may not be what it will be like." Apponia felt a bit of compassion. After seeing it, Ryan was not as bored as Qianjie.

It’s really not a good thing to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and foresee the future. People with a bad mentality will be driven crazy sooner or later, which is the so-called:

When beheading, the most painful moment is before the knife falls.

"Okay, let's go to the cathedral."

"Sorry, I shouldn't have made you doubtful." Aponya's face was full of apology, which was indeed a bit disappointing.

Ryan waved his hand freely and paid the money to the idle painter.

"Relax, I won't be affected."

"Because of power?"

"No, because I firmly believe that even if you know the ending, your destiny can be changed. The so-called foreknowledge can only provide early warning." Ryan replied without hesitation. In terms of spoilers, he knows more than Aponya. If you are afraid of the ending, Yan, what are you busy with now?

But this confidence was different in Aponya's eyes. Those blue eyes widened slightly for a moment, and then returned to normal.

"You are such a confident person."

Ryan shrugged, said nothing, and just opened the way in front. He now looked like a blond boy like a bodyguard, while the believers were still saluting Aponya.

The nun's uniform was very simple, but Apponia made people feel like a saint, and they all asked about the important person coming to St. George's Cathedral.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at the square where Ryan often visited and walked into the cathedral from the tourist passage.

"It's really spectacular."

Ryan raised his head and looked at the tall dome. The sunlight shone in through the mosaic glass, casting delicate shadows.

The interior of the building is no different from the church in his imagination. This giant dome makes people look particularly small, which is a kind of psychological suggestion.

The crystal lantern is more than ten meters in diameter, and the murals on the wall are also very detailed. They are saints, heroes and gods. Some of them kneel to pray, some rush to monsters, and some open their hands to protect civilians.

Ryan has no research on religion, but in this world, those murals are not just mythical stories. Humanity has been fighting the Honkai Impact for countless years. According to Mei's research, there are even previous civilizations, but they have left nothing behind. .

For example, the shield-wielding troll looked like a temple-level Honkai Beast. In the age of cold weapons, it was hard to imagine how many lives it would take to kill it.

"This is Saint Arthur, the hero who protects Europe."

"This is St. Peter, who protected a city with his life."

......

As the two of them walked, Aponya introduced the murals and reliefs. As a professional nun, she knew every story by heart.

Ryan listened carefully. As a scientist, he did not despise religion. If it were replaced by Mebius, it would probably be a different scene. That woman would rationally and sarcastically peel off the sacred cloak of every story.

"Why doesn't this person look like a human?" Ryan asked with interest. He saw a statue with the body of a young man and octopus-like tentacles looking firmly into the distance.

"This is St. George. Legend has it that he swallowed a demon alive in order to gain the power to protect humans, so he became like this."

Hey, the original version of the fusion warrior, it seems that there is Long Aotian in every era, and he is more ruthless than Kevin.

Ryan took a second look. The success rate of this crude 'fusion surgery' was less than one in ten million. He couldn't find any other adjective other than cheating.

"It seems he is very famous. This church is named after him."

"Yes, Saint George is one of the twelve saints and is known as the savior." Aponya said lightly, every detail of his face revealed reverence, "But Ryan, you also have a chance to become the savior."

In terms of merit, I am already stronger than these saints combined. In terms of strength, a low-level fusion warrior can defeat them.
