The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

After the meeting with the defense lawyer, Raiden Ryoma was carried by two guards one behind the other towards the cell... no, to be precise, the prison cell.

The reason why there are two guards in tandem is actually not difficult to understand. This is the highest-level detention center in Changkong City. The prisoners detained are either extremely vicious or have noble status, so naturally there is no room for error... and in order to prevent the occurrence of The problem is, all the passages for people walking here are only wide enough for one and a half people. Although this is indeed "safe" enough, if there is an emergency and you need to escape, I'm afraid there will be a big mess, right?

Thunder and Lightning Ryoma shook his head, "What a big mess... what a big mess..."

In the eyes of others, what big trouble could there be? Considering the geography of the Far East, do earthquakes count? But it doesn't matter. The internal buildings of the retention yard are all made of the latest special alloy steel, which is enough to withstand earthquakes up to magnitude seven. What big trouble could there possibly be?

"hehe……"

Lightning Ryoma sneered twice.

Walking all the way back to the prison cell, Thunderbolt Ryoma behaved extremely well. Two guards locked his prison door and asked softly:

"The conditions here are limited, Mr. Ryoma, please give me your instructions if I need anything."

"Um?"

Raiden Ryoma raised his head unexpectedly. It had been almost a month and a half since he came here. Although the few guards he had come into contact with were conscientious and did not treat him harshly, nor could they please him too much, the common point is that they never Talk to him. He even once doubted whether these guards were all deaf-mute...

But after all, he is a self-made character, and the twists and turns here can be guessed almost at once - compared to the jailers who add insult to injury in the story, these guards can be said to be human beings.

For a suspect like Raiden Ryoma, there is no need to offend or please him. No one can say whether he can survive this disaster safely. Instead of doing this, it is better to keep things official and avoid communication and contact. When the defense lawyer comes to visit, it basically means that the court is about to decide the fate. At this time, be a little more polite. In case the other party's affairs are reversed, you can also settle the matter. Not a big or small good deed, right?

Of course, what Raiden Ryoma didn't know was that the two guards in front of him were also muttering to themselves - to be honest, they had been working here for almost ten years and had seen many suspects like Raiden Ryoma who had been in high positions. . But even among these people, Thunder Dragon Horse is an extremely special existence.

To be precise, he was the only one who could be so leisurely and indifferent when the court session was approaching, as if this matter had nothing to do with him. Of course, this is a nice way of saying it, but a bad way of saying it is... XX!

But it wasn't just Raiden Ryoma's reaction that was strange. In fact, what was even more strange about the two guards was...how did he make his defense lawyer leave in tears?

It’s not like there’s a secret behind the case that moved the defense lawyer to tears, right?

Thunder Dragon Horse did not have the power of consciousness, so it was naturally impossible for him to understand the thoughts of the two guards. He thought for a while and said:

"I have a bad appetite today, so I won't have dinner, is that okay?"

"Okay, okay, of course, no problem."

This was not an excessive request, and it was not even a simple effort, so the two guards naturally agreed immediately.

"Then, Mr. Ryoma, if nothing happens, we will go back to the duty station... I wish you good luck."

The two guards bowed slightly to him, and Raiden Ryoma bowed politely in return, watching the two of them leave his sight.

"By now, Meiyi should have told him what I said, right?"

Thunderbolt Ryoma sneered twice again, turned to look at the surveillance camera in the corner, and pretended to walk normally as he approached the door. He glanced at the direction in which the two guards left with his peripheral vision to confirm that the two men had really left.

"It looks like you're doing well here."

A slightly joking voice sounded behind him, and Raiden Ryoma was not surprised.

The first time he turned around, he didn't look at the figure that suddenly appeared. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the camera. The red indicator light symbolizing the operation of the camera was still on, which surprised him.

"Don't worry, don't you understand what I'm capable of?"

Mikael spread his hands exaggeratedly.

"It's precisely because I understand that I don't feel reassured."

Raiden Ryoma pushed up his glasses and sat back upright on his bed.

Mikael shrugged. The environment of the prison cell was indeed good. There was a bed and a table. Raiden Ryoma chose the bed to sit down, so he naturally sat on the table, with his back against the wall and his feet on the back of the chair. superior.

"Your posture...hehe, why are you becoming more and more arrogant?"

"snort."

Mikael snorted softly, how should he answer this?

"Let me tell you what you have to say, Raiden Ryoma. What do you want from me?"

"It's actually not a big deal."

Thunder Ryoma went to dig into his pocket out of habit, but he was stunned in the middle of the action. This is a detention area after all. He is a criminal suspect, so cigarettes and lighters cannot be brought in.

"Tsk! It's been more than a month, and you can't even quit this little hobby. Thunder and Lightning Ryoma, Thunder and Lightning Ryoma, why are you so depraved?"

Mikael mocked a few words, but did not forget to take out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket and threw them to Thunder Ryoma.

Without thinking, Thunderbolt Ryoma lit the cigarette first, put it in his mouth and took a deep puff, and then he felt comfortable.

Then he thought of something belatedly and looked up at the unresponsive firework alarm.

"Don't worry, at least when it comes to ability, you can trust me, right?"

Hearing this, Thunderbolt Ryoma narrowed his eyes unconsciously. After about ten seconds, he nodded slowly and exhaled a white breath.

Mikael also smiled and mocked mercilessly:

"But the cigarette smell and cigarette butts left here, please explain it to the guard yourself during the inspection at night."

"*!"

Thunderbolt Ryoma is not such a boring person. Normally, he might have thought of making fun of himself, but now he just cursed, but then he stopped talking and smoked quietly.

One cigarette was not enough. After all, I had been holding it in for more than a month. I had to smoke half a pack of cigarettes in one breath, and smoked each cigarette until the butt was so hot that I could not hold it between my fingers.

Mikael didn't rush, he just closed his eyes and breathed deep and long, as if he was asleep.

Ten minutes later, Raiden Ryoma threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and stamped it out with his foot. He held the lighter in his other hand and propped up his dizzy head. He was about to speak when he coughed twice unexpectedly, and two lumps of gray appeared. The smoke spurted out directly from his mouth, and those who didn't know thought he had poured a mouthful of flour into his mouth.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... as for that?"

"There's nothing that won't...ahem!"

Thunder Ryoma covered his mouth and suppressed his cough, for fear of attracting the guards.

Seeing his embarrassed look, Mikael stopped laughing. A bottle of mineral water appeared out of thin air in his hand, and he was about to hand it forward, but was slapped away by the thunder and lightning dragon horse.

"Why?"

He covered his face with his calloused hands, his regret visible to the naked eye, and his voice was calm and cold, but this was just an appearance. Mikael could still feel it even though he was nearly two arms away. To his anger...

And his body that seems to be curled up now is just an illusion. Mikael will never forget that this man is Mei Yi's kendo teacher. Well, this identity is not very convincing, but he can hold the sword hand. How about a fierce man who tears apart Honkaiju?

Well, it’s still not enough in front of Mikael. So there was no need for Mikael to be nervous. Instead, he smiled softly and asked knowingly:

"Why? Why why?"

Thunderbolt Ryoma took a deep breath and let out a series of sneers from his hoarse throat that had been smoked too much.

He didn't answer Mikael's question, and he didn't know whether he simply didn't want to answer, or whether he didn't want to fall into Mikael's rhythm.

Just like the decadence and despair he is showing now, Mikael can clearly see it with his power of consciousness. Of course Raiden Ryoma feels desperate, but for a character like him, is it difficult to suppress and conceal his despair? He was just putting on a show.

"From the first day when Kokolia left Siberia and came to the Far East, I knew that sooner or later I would fall into her hands. That woman always did things unscrupulously, and she would not give up until she achieved her goal. My best choice at the time Just kill her directly, but unfortunately, I am still too shameless, especially after she took several girls to live in the orphanage..."

The Thunderbolt Ryoma didn't want to follow Mikael's lead, so he started to explain on his own, but the first sentence almost made Mikael laugh out loud - what does "from Cocolia to the Far East" mean? "from the first day"? If Mikael remembers correctly, on that night a month and a half ago, Mikael's first night as Mei's driver, Raiden Ryomako had an expression of "I don't know anything" on his face. After some guidance, I finally identified the enemy Cocolia...

Now he no longer pretends and shows his cards, in fact he knows everything.

When did Cocolia come to the Far East? Her deployment started a year ago at the latest. Maybe Ryoma knew everything from then on, and then didn't he deliberately act like "entrusting me" to let Mikael get involved?

Mikael really didn't know anything about it beforehand. He would not use his power of knowledge to pry into everyone's thoughts anytime and anywhere. It's not because of any moral baggage, it's just annoying. Being able to see other people's hearts is not a good thing. Not everyone, no, no one in this world can have a bright heart, darkness, depression, violence... Since everyone puts a smile on their face as a mask, don't be surprised that everyone puts these dark emotions away. In your heart...can you see these with the power of consciousness? Isn't that asking for trouble?

However, even though he didn't know about it before, Mikael was not surprised.

This is the world, everyone is just acting. Sometimes it's to achieve one's own goals, but sometimes...it's actually just because I'm used to acting, and I can't even bear to see others not acting.

That's probably true.

Of course, these are irrelevant, Mikael is just grumbling in his heart, but in reality, Raiden Ryoma's statement continues.

"To be honest, before Cocolia appeared, you were the one I had always been wary of and wary of. But in the past year or so, I don't know why, all my attention has been attracted by Cocolia , and in the end he was even stupid enough to entrust Mei Yi to you..."

"Pfft... don't look at me like that, Ryoma, did I do something wrong?"

"you--"

Thunderbolt Ryoma gasped rapidly. After a few minutes, instead of relieving the situation, he covered his heart with a look of pain visible to the naked eye.

"Did you get a heart attack from anger?"

Mikael smiled. He did nothing but stared at the Thunder Horse motionless until half an hour later, the Thunder Horse's breathing gradually became calmer.

"You know very well, Mikael - all the so-called evidence of my economic fraud were all produced by you, right?"

Mikael shrugged his shoulders and did not deny it. He felt that he was still very honest. Since he was discovered, why would he deny it?

"So, how did you guess it? I'm afraid even Cocolia just made a guess about this and is not sure. Hmm... If you put it this way, is what I did really so obvious?"

Seeing that Mikael not only did not feel ashamed, but even looked contented with himself, the thunder and lightning dragon horse's anger surged up again.

But it was only for a moment. He knew... He knew that he had no right to be angry. At least now is not the time to be angry.

"haha, yes."

He gave a wry smile.

"Perhaps you are too powerful, so you don't care about these details at all. The ME company did sign the document for development and financing of overfrequency electromagnetic field constraints. But there are no problems with the whole process, including the flow of funds and the progress of the project. If it is really Cocolia, if she really chooses this as a breakthrough point, there is actually nothing she can do to exploit it."

"so?"

"Change the original contract, change the flow of funds, and even the entire project team and experimental results are gone. I don't think this is humanly possible. Of course, I don't know how you did it, but if If there is someone in this world who can do it, it can only be you.”

"After working on it for a long time, you are just guessing."

Mikael caressed the smooth tabletop with his fingers aimlessly, and the corners of his mouth curled up inexplicably.

“But if all the speculations can be linked together to form a logical closed loop, and there is no more powerful explanation besides this, then I think this can basically be determined to be a fact.

"I also said, Mikael, I have always regarded you as a potential enemy from a long time ago. Don't you find it strange? You appeared without warning eight years ago. I used all kinds of methods to The resources can’t find your resume. And the reward you asked for curing Mei Yi was just my signature?

"I'm not a big star. I'm a businessman on the surface. Do you think I really don't know the importance of a signature? What I didn't expect was that when I gave you a flower signature, you really Being able to imitate my official signature handwriting... Haha, I have been wary of you for so many years, but I was afraid of being too obvious and alerting others... I don't know what has happened in the past year, but I have been so negligent..."

"Hahaha, it seems that you still need me to clarify your doubts - first, I will not be stupid enough to think that you will leave an official signature. At that time, my focus will be on you from beginning to end. As long as you learn Is it difficult to deduce your signature from your way of writing, combined with some of your daily writing?”

Mikael spread his hands and continued:

"But you are right, because I am too omnipotent, so sometimes I don't pay much attention to strategies. For example, as you just said, why have you neglected my precautions in the past year and a half? Because That’s all I want.”

"What...what do you mean?"

"well……"

Mikael sighed helplessly. It was troublesome to talk to people who were not intelligent enough.

"Let's change the example - an economic fraud case. Do you want to know how I did it?"

Without waiting for Raiden Ryoma to answer, he continued:

"It's actually very simple, Raiden Ryoma, don't think about turning over, because all the evidence in the economic fraud case was not modified or forged by me."

He stretched out his index finger and tapped his temple:

"It's very simple, really very simple, because I just modified the memories of all of you. The legal procedures and legal fund flows that you think of, including scientific researchers and scientific research results, only exist in your memories. That's what I say. ,Do you understand it?"

Raiden Ryoma was shocked, but he didn't seem that shocked. To be honest, it was not that he had never imagined this possibility, but...

But Mikael didn't seem to want to stop talking.

"Oh, by the way, did Mei tell you? I am her guardian now."

"Hmm...huh? You-"

"Yes, there is no need to forge any documents in the economic fraud case, and naturally there is no need to forge your signature. So, where is the signature I imitated from you used?"

"asshole!"

The Thunderbolt Ryoma suddenly exploded, punched Mikael in the abdomen, grabbed Mikael's neck with his left hand, and smashed his head against the wall again and again.

Mikael just let him vent for more than ten minutes. When he finally calmed down and stopped, Mikael also left the last words that made Raiden Ryoma almost collapse:

"Mr. Raiden Ryoma, you don't want Mei to lose her second father, right?"
