I am a former Flame Chasers

In the next few days, Ryan went back and forth between the dormitory and the laboratory every day.

Writing formulas for the supercomputer, conducting various experiments, participating in project discussions, and preparing for particle collision experiments. In short, I am busy from morning to night.

Ryan has long been accustomed to this kind of life. To put it simply, this tedious research work can help him better understand the nature of Honkai energy and improve his efficiency in controlling energy, which can be regarded as practicing the concept of "pioneering".

To be frank, there aren't many cases of Honkai in the world right now, and the Fire Moth isn't there to do nothing. He can't just go around the world robbing people of their lives, and he doesn't need to run around everywhere.

He didn't know why, but there was always a lot of Honkai around him. He didn't take it seriously before, but since the second Herrscher, the frequency of this phenomenon has increased and started to attract his attention.

"The more reference groups there are, the more accurate the experiment will be. In the past, we would only encounter a Honkai at close range once every few months, but now it happens once every half a month."

In the corner of the cafeteria, Ryan chewed a rice ball and kept typing on the keyboard, occasionally frowning and deleting, and occasionally looking thoughtful.

"I can't possibly cause any Honkai energy to gather, otherwise all living things would have been destroyed long ago, and the Fire Moth can't just let a moving disaster go."

Ryan glanced at the bustling crowd in the cafeteria. If he could cause Honkai to gather, even the slightest increase in concentration would be detected.

Could it be that it is the theory of those evil sects that Honkai is actually a god and discovered that I am an 'alien' and is specifically targeting me?

Ryan was stunned for a moment, then laughed unhappily. This was unscientific, at least it couldn't be explained rationally.

There is no clue to prove that Honkai has consciousness, and if it really has consciousness, it would have given birth to the First and Second Herrscher around it long ago. Why would it start with the Death Soldiers and use ordinary Honkai beasts to deal with itself?

It has been nineteen years since he came to this former Era, and ten years since he awakened his destiny. Ryan has long grown from an ordinary person. Although he does not know how strong he is, according to the information of the Fire Moth:

"That time in Shenzhou, I also killed a Temple level Honkai beast."

Thinking of this, he opened an encrypted folder, entered the password, and found a text with a fire moth pattern.

These are some pictures and texts, and there is not much theory. They just divide the most direct enemy of mankind, the Honkai beast, into specific levels based on the record of the Fire Moths in fighting against the Honkai over the years, their size, destructive power, and the concentration of Honkai energy.

Ignoring the variant subspecies, there are approximately three major categories and ten minor categories.

The first is that the living things are first infected by the Honkai energy. The dead soldiers and beasts are essentially real creatures with flesh and blood.

The second is the lower level Honkai beast. At this level, it is an aggregate of Honkai energy. It would be more accurate to call it a life rather than a living thing.

Assault class, Knight class, Chariot class, Temple class and Honkai Emperor.

The Assault class and Knight class monsters were the ones that were dealt with a few nights ago. Although Ryan downplayed it, they already required large caliber weapons and anti tank missiles to deal with them, and their strength was increasing rapidly.

Ryan stopped at a picture. According to the records of the Fire Moth, the King of Honkai in southern Europe was dealt with by using armed helicopters, rocket launchers and heavy bombs, turning the forest in the picture into the surface of the moon.

"This is the pinnacle of conventional firepower. Going above that..." Ryan expression became solemn.

Higher level Honkai beast: Emperor level, Judgment level.

According to the Fire Moth, a [core] already exists at this level. If one wants to defeat it, in addition to breaking its strong body, one must also destroy the core. Ryan has never encountered this before.

"It's a bit troublesome. I feel like the wheel of fate is speeding up."

Ryan closed his eyes, and countless troubles flashed through his mind, but there was no expression on his face.

After the second Herrscher, the sense of urgency is gradually increasing. Just a little thought will reveal that there are several imminent troubles.

The frequency of Honkai around me is getting higher and higher. Sooner or later, I will be discovered by the Fire Moth, and it will either kill me, slice me, or put me in the dungeon.

'But this is unacceptable. I don't want to be locked up until the end of the world. I must continue to become stronger to open up a path forward.'

Another problem is that the strength of Honkai Beast is increasing. If a Judgment level Honkai Beast appears around him one day, he will be dead on the spot. Ryan thinks that he is no match for a higher level Honkai Beast.

If it were anyone else, they would have been on pins and needles under these fatal threats. Fortunately, Ryan remained calm and rationally analyzed the only way out.

"We must speed up the process. We must take risks when necessary. These problems are threats as well as opportunities. High level Honkai beasts can also help me gain a deeper understanding of Honkai and solve the first problem at the same time."

Is the Honkai around us accidental or inevitable? If it is inevitable, what is the reason?

There's no use just thinking about it, and being anxious will only make you lose your composure. In this fucked up world, Ryan has no choice but to keep his head up and move forward.

The worst outcome is to fight against both the Fire Moth and the Honkai, but so what? Pioneers will never despair.

Pop.

He closed the laptop, and the next moment two figures walked up to him.

Kevin was holding a lunch box in his hand, and there was a long haired young man beside him. The young man was handsome and had a gentle and approachable aura. He looked friendly at first glance.

"Su, how come you are free to come out today? Did those people in the medical school finally let you go?" Ryan greeted with a smile and made room for him.

"I just skipped a grade. Although I'm not as good as you and Mei, I can still keep up with the studies." The young man showed a gentle smile, which made people feel like spring breeze. "The Sakura Festival is coming soon, and there is nothing to do before the holiday."

"With your intelligence, you should go to the School of Physics with Mei and me. Why study medicine? You will have to do internships and that will be troublesome."

"That's not my goal. Since we need someone to promote Era, we also need someone to save the dying and the wounded." Su still smiled, his tone sincere.

"Okay, okay, it sounds like a gym student like me is just an idiot. Let's eat." Kevin sat down decisively. His grades were actually not bad, but he was an idiot compared to these monsters.

After taking a sip of noodles, he saw the laptop on the table and asked casually, "Ryan, what are you doing hiding in the corner of the cafeteria?"

Of course, I am thinking about what to do next.

Ryan thought so in his heart, but he said, "Nothing, just looking for some material for the novel."

"Why are you still writing that stuff? Mei is nowhere to be seen all day long because of some experiment, but you are just running to the cafeteria to slack off." Kevin slurped noodles and shook his head, "If you could work harder, I wouldn't have to ask Su to eat."

Naively putting women before friends, but fortunately Su had a good temper and was not angry. They had been classmates since high school and of course knew about Mei and Kevin, the odd couple. They were in the same college but were rarely together.

Ryan was also not angry, and smiled and sighed: "Kevin, I actually admire you very much."

"What do you admire about me?"

"You look like a modern person, but you are so innocent. It's been several years, and you are still just holding hands. Su and I are worried. Don't you know anything? You can ask Professor Su to teach you physical health."

Kevin was stunned for a moment, then his face flushed: "I'm not as dirty as you think, and you don't even have a girlfriend, so what right do you have to educate me!?"

"I don't want to, you are a stuffy person, but there is an essential difference."

"Who is so stuffy?"

"Alright, alright, Kevin, just eat your noodles, or they'll clump together." Su interrupted the topic at the right moment to calm the slightly out-of-control Kevin, then gave Ryan a look that showed he had stopped.

hehe.

Ryan showed a wicked smile, teasing Kevin was very interesting, and then thinking of the cold blooded and ruthless savior in the future...

It's even more interesting!

However, he still respected Sue and took the initiative to speak without waiting for him to ask: "Are you going to ask me where I'm going to go tomorrow on holiday?"

"Well, plus we have five days off this weekend, and our medical school is also trying to prevent group travel, do you have any travel plans?"

Ryan blinked and understood Su good intentions. Although he was not autistic in recent years, he didn't have many acquaintances except for a few friends. In the eyes of others, he seemed a little withdrawn.

"I appreciate your kindness. There will be a collider experiment tomorrow night. You know that thing is a bit dangerous and is usually carried out during holidays, so I don't have time."

"Okay, this is the fifteenth time you've rejected me." Su was still gentle. He glanced at Kevin who was eating noodles next to him and said thoughtfully, "You are a bit like Mei, but you are completely different."

"What's the difference?"

"It's hard to explain. Compared to Mei pure focus on research, you have a kind of madness like a trapped beast, as if you are ready to go to war with the whole world at any time."

The madness of a trapped beast?

Ryan smile got wider, and he shook his head without comment. He picked up the milk tea next to Kevin and took a sip, which made the latter so angry that his eyes widened. At that moment, Ryan cell phone rang, and he immediately looked up.

"Your book friend sent you a message again? Hey, this is another one, Junior Sister? What is this?"

Ryan didn't hide it, and it was easy to see the information after unlocking it.

[Brother, when will you come to Canghai?]

There are no emoticons and the tone is quite serious.

He replied with "I'll get back to you when I have time during the summer vacation", and when the other party simply replied with "OK", he smiled and put down his phone.

"Literally, this is an acquaintance of mine from Shenzhou. I haven't seen him for almost half a year. He is now studying in Canghai."

"Hmph, no wonder you disappeared during the summer vacation, it turns out you have a girlfriend." Kevin looked like he had discovered a huge secret, and even Su next to him showed a relaxed smile.

"My junior sister is old fashioned and serious. You just ignored me after chatting for a while. Don't think too much." Ryan was too lazy to explain. He turned to look at the gentle boy: "Su, you came to see me today, right? Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"You saw through me." The gentle young man took a breath and said in a slightly serious tone, "Why are you so concerned about Mei and Su progress recently, as if something is going to happen."

These heroes are truly geniuses, it can be seen from this.

Ryan didn't answer, only glanced at the cafeteria which was becoming even more noisy.

The evening news was playing on TV, the boys were discussing the latest e sports events, the goddesses were chattering about celebrity gossip, and a few cafeteria aunties gathered together, talking about where to go for fun.

The years are peaceful. The discussion about helicopters in the forum a few days ago has been drowned out by more information. Under the influence of the Fire Moth, there are very few wars and conflicts in this world, which often gives Ryan a sense of illusion.

"Because there is not enough time. At this rate, within half a year..."

"Time? What time?" Su expression changed drastically. He thought Ryan knew some secret, such as Mei was suffering from a terminal illness.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. My ability is limited, but at least I hope you can enjoy this moment." Ryan picked up the computer and nodded to the two dazed people: "You two can eat slowly. I'm going to the lab tonight and won't go back to the dormitory."

Kevin held the chopsticks and a few noodles fell back into the bowl. He turned his head stiffly and looked at Su, who was also stiff, his eyes full of tension.

"I think you should ask Mei." Su tapped the phone on the table.

Kevin woke up as if from a dream, and quickly took out his mobile phone to send a long message.

"Mei, why didn't you tell me that you had a terminal illness? I'm going to pick you up right now, let's go to the hospital for a check-up, it's okay, I will never let you die!"

Putting down his phone, Kevin waited, scratching his head. If Su hadn't been there to comfort him, he would have probably ridden his motorcycle to the lab. After a while -

Ring~.

Kevin quickly picked up the phone, then froze on the spot, causing Su to subconsciously stretch his head to look, and then also froze.

The girl replied with three words.

"Neuropathy."
