Chapter 80: Psychological Counseling for Sakura

The Pure Blood will go crazy.

The car was a little bumpy on the dilapidated road. Ryan held the steering wheel with one hand and supported his head with the other.

He had no interest in the factional fighting among the Fire Moths, but since these people had come to trouble Mobius, he would just clean them up decisively. As for their core theory of "defeating Honkai with humanity", he didn't care at all.

They are so arrogant. They think that Honkai is just this level. Humans have no right to be picky. And in the final analysis, they only have their own interests.

According to Ryan intelligence, the Pure Blood Faction is backed by arms tycoons, so of course they support the technological route. However, it would be too naive to think of defeating Honkai with conventional weapons.

"I remember there is a person among the Herrscher who is playing with electronic virus. The weapons they create will all become other people toys by then, and they may all hit humans."

They talk a lot about ideology, but their minds are full of business. Not to mention that this group of people have flexible moral bottom lines. In order to frame others, they even conduct human experiments. They are simply despicable people.

"But I have a problem too."

The reason why unspoken rules are unspoken rules is that everyone knows the truth, but there is no obvious evidence.

Moreover, exposing the authority of the Herrscher of Thunder would be very troublesome, unless all witnesses were killed like Montpellier, then it would never be exposed.

Ryan frowned slightly, and finally decided to be careful and try not to drag Mobius into this.

"I've intercepted the Cocoon communication network. They seem to have gone crazy." At this moment, a head popped out from the back seat, with a look of delight on his face. "Do you want to stop the car in front and kill them first?"

The ego is asleep and the magician comes out again. Ryan has a headache about this whimsical Vil-V.

"Listen, I don't want to become a wanted criminal, and I don't want to betray Fire Moth."

"Hehe, but you have actually done it. A lone thief fighting against an evil organization, sounds interesting, right?" Vil-V raised her hand and said in a rhythmic voice: "The gears are turning, the curtain of the stage is opening; the steam is roaring, offering endless cheers!"

Ryan mouth twitched. He was not affected by the exciting speech. He just shook his head silently: "It's not interesting at all. I want to put you into the Fire Moth. The enemies are only those Pure Blood. There is no point in irritating others. If you listen obediently, there will be plenty of resources for you to use your fantasy in the future."

Vil-V hesitated for a moment. The condition was quite tempting, and she was also a little tired of dismantling scrap metal.

"Then it's settled. If you join the Fire Moth, I can build it with my own hands." Seeing Ryan hesitate, Vil-V immediately changed the subject: "Also, are you sure they won't settle accounts with you later?"

"Don't worry, they don't dare."

"Why?"

"Because I can wipe out the Pure Blood Faction, I have the power to make them keep their promise." Ryan sneered and stared at the desert in front of him. "Whoever comes to settle accounts with you, I will uproot him."

Vil-V opened her mouth, jumped up and hugged Ryan neck: "You are really cool, teach me, teach me quickly."

With the sharp sound of brakes, the van began to move in an S shape. Fortunately, Ryan reacted quickly and did not crash into the rocks on the side of the road.

Ryan missed his 'original self', Vil-V. Although that girl was a little autistic, she was generally normal. He really couldn't stand this funny person.

After a long while of noise, Vil-V finally calmed down. Her eyes were bright and no one knew what she was thinking. Ryan took the opportunity to unbuckle her seat belt.

"Come and drive for a while. I'll go talk to her."

"Got it!" Vil-V saluted but didn't move at all.

"You move."

"When you went to search for supplies just now, I installed an automatic driving function on the car. Just let go."

Ryan was skeptical and let go of his hands. Sure enough, he saw the steering wheel adjusting automatically and was speechless.

"It's such an important thing, remember to say it earlier next time."

"receive!"

...

Ryan suddenly lost the mood to pay attention to her. After spending too much time with Vil-V, he was about to become schizophrenic. She might be the hero with the least improvement in the Mantis Program because she was so weird from the beginning.

The back seats of the van had long been removed, Ryan climbed into the back seat and saw the pink haired girl sitting in the middle of the vehicle, she was used to Vil-V noise and she was still a little uncomfortable with it.

She has the same hair color as Elysia, but gives a completely opposite feeling. If a fairy lady is full of the heat of the sun, then Sakura is the coldness in the darkness, at least on the surface.

The black tights of Cocoon outline her beautiful figure, and coupled with the leg rings on her thighs that are used to tie hidden weapons, she looks very sexy, which reminds people of the plot of a secret infiltration investigator.

She was very silent and her face looked unhappy, which was normal. Sakura was not a masochist. It would be strange if she looked good after being beaten up.

There was just some confusion in his eyes, as if she didn't know why she was able to survive.

Ryan had already thought it over. Since she saw something she shouldn't have seen, he should have chopped it up and let it go. But firstly, the secret was not that important, and secondly, Sakura was the easiest to control among the Thirteen Heroes.

As for how to talk? It doesn't matter, I have special psychological counseling skills.

"Why... did you spare my life?" After staring at each other for a long time, the girl finally couldn't help but ask.

"Isn't it good to be alive?" Ryan shrugged and sat cross legged opposite Sakura. Because the van was small, their knees touched each other.

There were no chains or restraints. At this distance, Sakura had a hundred ways to deal with the other person, but she knew that this was not a gentlemanly way.

This person can turn himself into dust with just a raise of his hand, and he doesn't need to be restrained at all.

"Of course it's good to be alive, but I know how much my life is worth."

"Smart, but not smart enough." Ryan snapped his fingers, expressionless: "You must think that your value lies in being a witness and playing a role in this power game, so that you can save your life?"

"Besides that, I can't think of any other reason."

"Are you willing to save your life for this?"

Their eyes met, and the girl shook her head without hesitation: "No."

This statement went against one's instinct and could be considered as cutting off one's own life. Even Vil-V looked at her curiously, and saw that the girl firm expression did not seem like a disguise.

Ryan nodded without surprise. He even noticed that Sakura had bitten her tongue with her teeth when she said this, obviously being on guard against mind control.

She is such a sister complex, she doesn't care about his own life at all.

He didn't waste any words and simply asked back: "So you want to sacrifice yourself to save Rin life?"

In just that instant, the cold girl's expression changed drastically. She pounced over like a female leopard and grabbed Ryan collar.

"How do you know? Don't touch her!"

She almost pressed her whole body on Ryan, her chest against his chest, her nose against his nose, her knees against his abdomen, but unfortunately, apart from the murderous intent, there was no ambiguity at all.

Ryan leaned against the car window, looking at the other person quietly. He could feel the heavy breathing, see the furious eyes, and the faint body fragrance like cherry blossoms.

"As expected of Forget-Me-Not, his killing intent is indeed astonishing, but what is even more commendable is that she remains calm in the midst of his rage."

"Answer my question!"

"No need to answer. There are too many things you don't understand, just like why a whole team of Cocoon were wiped out without any resistance. Of course, there is one thing you must understand." Ryan felt the weight of the girl and grinned with a gentle smile.

"It's you, Rin, and even the entire Cocoon and the people behind them. It's easy for me to exterminate them."

Sakura tensed her muscles in an instant, looking at the gentle man beneath her, she moved her mouth but could not say anything, a fear called 'unknown' filled her heart.

This is a monster, a monster that can crush everything with its strength. Compared with this power, obtaining information about myself is simply not worth mentioning.

But she still didn't let go, her eyes were full of determination, she was determined to stop the other party even if it meant she would be reduced to ashes.

"Calm down. I don't need to say these words to kill you and Rin, and I don't need you to testify. Do you believe this?"

The hand that was clenching his collar loosened slightly. Sakura wasn't stupid. This man has the right to act recklessly. As proof, Vil-V was already in his hands, so he didn't need to add any more trouble.

"Then why did you spare my life?"

This matter became inconsistent, and Ryan did not explain it from a logical point of view, but just shook his head slightly.

"Because I want to."

Because I want???

Sakura expression suddenly became interesting, from disbelief, to ridicule, to contempt, and finally to confusion.

"Is it that simple?"

"Do I need to find a more complicated reason?"

It was a rhetorical question, but it was as irrefutable as the truth, just like when Ryan appeared, it needed no reason or explanation.

He just crushed the best hound of the Cocoon with one foot, and then crushed the entire team with a wave of his hand. Does he need to explain the truth to the ants he crushed? Or does he expect the ants he spared to thank him?

The answer is no, because life and death are all in the other person mind.

"You are so arrogant. Do you think you are a god?"

"No, I'm very approachable and I'm just telling the truth."

Sakura cheeks trembled, and she almost couldn't keep her cold expression. Even Vil-V, who was listening, rolled her eyes.

Approachable? Tell that to those crushed Cocoon!

"So you don't have to think so much. I want you to be alive, it's that simple." Ryan grabbed the white little hand at the collar, pulled it away effortlessly, and sat up slightly.

Sakura had no way of responding to this. Money could not buy happiness, and logic could not explain it.

Having been a killer for so many years, Sakura had never felt so confused. She sat down helplessly: "So what do you want me to do?"

"You don't need to do anything, but--"

Ryan glanced at Sakura who was sitting like a duck. This top killer looked like an ordinary girl. It seemed that the psychological counseling was quite effective. He nodded with satisfaction.

"I'll give you and Rin a chance to live."
