Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Hua
The clouds became thinner, and a port began to appear at the end of the vast ocean, and then the splendid night scene came into Ryan eyes.
He looked down through the window. A huge and prosperous city was right beneath him. The densely packed cars were like fireflies, and the aviation obstruction lights on the tall buildings were dotted like stars. Even in the middle of the night, the city did not fall asleep.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the captain announcement. The plane is entering the landing procedure. Please..."
The announcement came on, the sweet-looking flight attendant took away the blanket, and Ryan breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally arrived at the ocean.
After reaching a cooperation with Mobius, he immediately took off from Haneda Airport and headed straight to the largest city in China without even saying goodbye to Kevin.
In fact, there was no need to say goodbye. Although they were friends, they couldn't stay together forever. The third Herrscher was about to arrive, so he didn't have time to do research slowly. As for staying in Neon to kill monsters -
The most taboo in development is stagnation. This is not a comic book. There are not so many high level Honkai beasts waiting for you to kill in Japan.
"I haven't been back for a long time, and Changkong is still so prosperous." Ryan estimated that it has been almost two years since he last came back, and by the way, he remembered another thing.
Why would the Third Herrscher take the lead by landing directly in the most prosperous city? It seems like he is declaring war on all mankind.
He couldn't guess the reason, but he knew that from then on, the battle between Honkai and humans became public and intense, and everything that the Fire Moth had tried so hard to cover up was exposed.
Then, all kinds of monsters and Herrscher will jump out.
Ryan finally relaxed completely when he felt the wheels of the plane touch the ground. He never liked traveling on civilian aircraft. It would be terrible if there was a assassin on the plane and he met Kiritsugu.
Open the phone, automatically ignore a lot of unread messages, and just click on the avatar.
[Brother, I'll be waiting for you at Exit 363.]
The words were still so concise, which made Ryan grin. He felt that after just seeing off a group of noisy guys, it was a change of taste to come and take a look at this piece of wood.
That's right, his junior sister was one of The Thirteen Flame-Chasers, the Red Kite Immortal Fu Hua of the later generation. To be precise, it was Hua now, but unlike the one who approached Kevin on purpose, Hua was someone he met by chance when he was traveling in Shenzhou.
Since he was far from being able to defeat an opponent with force alone, Ryan attached great importance to various skills. It happened that her family Cùn jìn Fist was quite famous, so he made a special trip to visit her.
With the bonus of destiny and rich combat experience, Ryan quickly learned everything and was even regarded as the successor by Hua father.
"If there had been no Honkai, I could even have stayed in Shenzhou as a boxer, and by the way, I could have found a little sister and lived a quiet life." Ryan fantasized about another kind of life, and then when the traveler next to him stood up, the fantasy came to an abrupt end.
What a shitty boxer. Why should I work so hard to learn boxing if I'm not broken? Aren't yachts, beauties and bikinis more attractive?
Ryan took out his small suitcase, adjusted his glasses, buttoned up his black trench coat, and followed the crowd down the plane. He listened to people around him discussing the attractions in Changkong City, and didn't know how to persuade them.
If I remember correctly, all of Changkong City was destroyed except Hua. Logically speaking, the second branch of the Fire Moth in Shenzhou is here, and it has a complete set of evacuation procedures.
He suddenly discovered a blind spot. Either the third Honkai was too sudden and too violent, or something went wrong with the Fire Moth. Judging from the situation in the Far East branch, the Fire Moth did have some "genius" leaders, but it was not reasonable to allow more than 10 million people to die, and...
He subconsciously glanced at the dense cameras at the airport and felt like he was being watched.
"Brother, I'm here."
At this moment, Ryan heard a clear voice, stopped walking and looked up.
Standing at the exit was a girl in plain clothes, wearing a plain T-shirt, jeans and white sneakers. She exuded a strong youthful vibe and her oval face was very pretty.
She has a straight nose, clear green eyes, and long gray blue hair tied into a ponytail with a rubber band. She is a typical beauty from the south of the Yangtze River in China, simple and fresh. Just looking at her appearance can calm one's heart.
Ryan looked at the girl in front of him. Hua was three years younger than him, and was rather dull and introverted. She dressed like a straight woman, and when he stared at her, the girl subconsciously looked away.
"Brother, why are you staring at me?"
"It just feels like time flies. I still remember the first time I saw you, you had just entered junior high school. Before I knew it, you had grown into a graceful young lady." Ryan felt a little emotional because his relationship with Hua was very pure.
No matter how crazy Ryan is, he would not cling to a junior high school student, not to mention that Hua is not as good as Kevin and is considered to be a relatively weak player in the previous Era.
I just saw you half a year ago...
Hua moved her mouth but did not refute. Ryan had left too deep an impression in her mind. She just forced a smile and said, "Brother, you are also calmer than before."
"Remember when I helped you beat up those guys?" Ryan laughed immediately. He still remembered that Hua was always isolated because of his personality at that time, but he also had extraordinary fighting power.
So a bloody thing happened. After Hua fought back vigorously, some powerful people in her family wanted to make her suffer. Ryan acted decisively after knowing this.
He finally experienced the daily life of a time traveler after pretending to be awesome. From the school principal to the Meior, they were all given a beating. In terms of strength and family background, he could barely be a dragon king.
"Hahaha, it's still embarrassing to think about it now. It's a pity that I didn't have any evil smile at that time." Ryan scratched his face and still felt a little ashamed. "Forget it, let's not talk about that little thing."
"But I will remember it and will never forget it for the rest of my life." Hua was very serious. His childhood memories were actually very profound.
Ryan smile froze, and he simply reached out and poked the girl forehead: "Okay, you are so serious now, you are not cute at all, smile more, like an old scholar."
Perhaps it was because of this simple relationship that he completely relaxed when he returned to Shenzhou. He turned his head and found that there was a girl standing next to Hua.
She had a slightly dark skin and wore shorts and over the knee socks, looking like a hot girl. She was the complete opposite of the wooden Hua.
"This is..."
Hua also came back to his senses and quickly pulled the girl next to him: "This is Carol, my friend."
"It hurts, it hurts, Hua, please be gentler. And why do you have to be so formal? He is not your father, and I am not your boyfriend." The dark skinned girl suddenly shouted, and she looked quite lively. When Hua glared at her, she scratched her short white hair and bowed weakly.
"Hello, I'm Carol, you must be Hua senior, I often hear her mention you, saying that in this life..."
Before she could finish her words, Hua covered her mouth and she began to struggle hard.
"Brother, don't listen to her nonsense. This girl never speaks seriously."
"No way, that's what you said."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing the two beautiful young girls making a scene, Ryan laughed even more happily: "You finally learned how to make friends. I used to worry that you would become autistic. Tell me, how did you two know each other?"
Hua was still thinking when the dark skinned girl suddenly jumped out.
"It was a few months ago. I met a monster in an alley..." Halfway through her words, she noticed Hua sharp eyes and simply skipped over it: "Anyway, it was a scene of a beauty saving a beauty. From that day on, I kept pestering her!"
Monster? Honkai beast or dead soldier?
Ryan had actually guessed that with his help with his lessons, Hua strength would only become stronger, and it would not be difficult for him to defeat a deadly warrior. However, he also knew that this was done in order to make him worry, so he did not ask any further questions.
"Have you rented a car?"
"Yes, it's in parking lot 3." Hua threw a key over and glanced at the girl next to him. "Why don't we wait for you at the exit?"
"Then see you at Terminal C in five minutes."
Ryan has a high EQ. Knowing that the two had something to say, he nodded and left.
The man back quickly disappeared in the crowd. At this time, Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension on his face disappeared.
"Haha, you have good taste. This senior brother is quite handsome. When I heard your description, I thought he was a muscular monster."
"Don't talk nonsense. Don't talk nonsense about what I told you." Hua glared at the girl fiercely. He almost got exposed.
She looked in the direction Ryan left and murmured to herself, "This is the person I can never defeat, and the person I respect the most. Every time I see him, I tense my muscles."
"Want to punch him in the face?"
"How is that possible? I was just a little nervous. I was afraid of upsetting him, and I didn't know what to say. I practiced hard every day just to get closer to him, but every time we met, I found that the gap between us was getting bigger and bigger."
Carol looked at her best friend in this state and really wanted to take a picture of her with her cell phone. It was useless for her to teach this stupid fool anything.
"Maybe you should be more confident and take more initiative."
"Nonsense, I don't have any extra thoughts, he is my senior brother."
"I don't believe that any senior brother would pay the living expenses on time every month."
"That means he is my brother, even though we are not related by blood."
"This is even better. Have you read the brother-con novel I gave you? It's so exciting."
"Bah, you're asking for a fight!"
The two girls laughed and played, and soon walked out of the terminal. A black business car stopped there exactly as expected. Ryan was fiddling with the navigation with his head down, entering the address given by Hua.
In this technological age, martial arts schools have long been abandoned, so Hua family is very ordinary. Ryan provided her with long-term financial support in the name of apprenticeship fees and allowed her to rent a small courtyard outside the school.
In his opinion, it doesn't matter if he can't learn, but he can't fall behind in boxing.
As he was zooming out on the map, Ryan saw that an area not far from Hua residence was marked in red, with traffic control written on the map. He continued to zoom out and found that the controlled area covered a large harbor.
Hearing the door closing, Ryan turned around and asked, "What's going on?"
"I heard there was a hazardous chemical leak or something, and even the residents inside were relocated by the government."
It sounds like the Fire Moth tactic, but this area is too large.
Ryan stepped on the accelerator lightly and glanced at the rearview mirror while driving. The girl was indeed sitting in a precarious position, which made him laugh.
"How long has it been?"
"One month and five days, do you think there is any problem?"
"No problem, I just suddenly feel that you are very suitable for being a soldier, you are very methodical." Ryan teased and looked at the distance on the navigation. "Besides, the house you rented is too far away, won't you be late for school normally?"
This guy has already rented a house in the suburbs outside the Fifth Ring Road, so logically he should have enough money on his side.
"The rent in Changkong City is too expensive. I don't want to waste the money you gave me." Hua took a deep breath and simply recited his schedule: "I go to bed at nine o'clock every night and get up at four o'clock in the morning. After practicing boxing, I run ten kilometers. It happens that the subway is in operation, so I am the first one to arrive at school every morning."
Ryan and Carol covered their heads almost at the same time, looking at Hua in confusion.
"What's wrong with you guys??"
"Nothing, I just suddenly found a problem." Ryan shook his head and looked blankly at the car lights in front of him.
Why isn't there a normal person around me?
