"Will things really develop as you think? I understand. Even if you have good intentions, I don't think the fire that has been ignited will be extinguished honestly by itself."

"giraffe……"

Shoko Toyokawa looked back at the giraffe on the screen who was chewing leaves slowly. He was already a senior executive of the World Tree Consortium when his father was still alive. His communication skills and business level were impeccable, but he pursued secrecy and spoke in a mysterious way. So far, no one has seen his true face.

If there was something in the World Tree Consortium that she didn't know about, this guy who appeared in the form of a four-legged beast was the one she could not understand the most, and she had no way to deal with him at all.

Fortunately, the other party has been very cooperative with her so far, and even her current position is partly due to the other party's credit.

"What do you mean?"

"I understand."

The giraffe habitually started with his catchphrase, his eyes distant and deep.

"Throughout the ages, anyone who has tasted power will be attracted by its charm. Even you are unlikely to let your children give up the power they have grasped so easily."

"I won't give them a choice!"

Toyokawa Shoko said firmly, while Sid lowered his head, as if thinking about what the giraffe said.

At the same time, the scene returned to Mebius' laboratory, and the green-haired girl's persuasion was still not over.

She took out a pure black Sengoku driver with no paint on the panel from the drawer and introduced it to the two of them.

"This is the mass-produced driver you saw before. Unlike the prototype, it does not lock the user. As long as there is a lock, anyone can use it.

This is the goal that the World Tree has set for me. My mission will be completed the moment it is completed, but to be honest, I am not willing to end it like this. What I pursue is a higher realm. "

Putting the mass-produced belt aside, Mebius took out a few design drafts with great interest and walked up to the two people.

The belt and lock that still only existed in theory were presented to Kousaka Honoka and the other person. What attracted their attention most were the design drawings of the two locks. Oranges and bananas were painted on the surface of the locks, but they were completely different from ordinary locks. The fruit reliefs on them were larger and had a more mechanical texture.

"These plans have not yet been officially approved by the higher-ups, so they only exist in my imagination, but I assure you that they will bring you stronger power, and it is not impossible that they will even be enough to rival the gods."

The green snake pupils sparkled under the light, and the smiling Mebius gave off a sense of oppression that made people feel as if they were in a quagmire.

"Just imagine, as long as you nod, you can gain a sense of omnipotence far beyond that brought by the Battle Drive, and I won't even restrict your freedom to use this power. How about it? This proposal is not completely unattractive to you, right?"

"Humph, anyone can say something without any basis."

Qu Wen Jie Dou took a look at the design drawing and snorted with disdain.

Kousaka Honoka didn't even bother to take a closer look and just turned her head away.

"What if I say no?"

"..."

The gentle smile on Mebius's face instantly cooled down in response to their stubborn attitude. She scanned their faces back and forth, and finally she put away the design and sat back at her desk.

"It seems that you still need some time to think. It's okay. Although the cells here are not as good as five-star hotels, they are actually very comfortable. I hope you can enjoy your vacation here. Maki-chan, see you off."

"Ok."

Maki Nishikino nodded obediently and called in several mass-produced black shadows guarding the door.

Under the escort of four people, Kousaka Honoka and the other two had no choice but to cooperate and went to the cell here.

Outside the laboratory, Nagasaki Suyo, who had been waiting for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief, and after confirming that she was not captured by the surveillance camera, she immediately followed with skillful techniques. 】

Vehicle Killer: No, was this Nagasaki Suyo really just an ordinary JK before? Why does she seem so skilled?

Long-term vegetarian: Uh... talent?

Assassins are easily soluble in water: Indeed, this boy has a talent for stealth. If he were in my world, he would have probably become an excellent master assassin.

Chaos Evil Gudako: What? The assassin still needs to sneak in?

【outside world.

Nearly 24 hours have passed since the disappearance of Kousaka Honoka and other armored knights. Even the most dull-witted person would begin to realize that something is wrong. Moreover, the current situation is far from as simple as the disappearance of all the armored knights.

Previously, the alien Pixiu that Aqua transformed into caused quite a stir in Zeya City. The affected area was as large as several blocks, and the public facilities destroyed were more than could be counted on two hands.

Moreover, unlike the previous times when they just fought a little on the stage and were quickly suppressed by the armored knights, the Pixiu aliens directly caused several casualties and even attacked people on the spot in a park with a large flow of people.

Even if the World Tree Foundation responded immediately and began to control the spread of information on the Internet, it could not withstand the word-of-mouth spread by a large number of eyewitnesses.

For a time, the news that "aliens are actually extremely dangerous" began to make some people in Zeya City panic, and some residents who were not very obsessed with Rhythm Knight jointly began to protest to the World Tree Foundation.

Seeing this situation, Toyokawa Shoko could only use the trump card she had prepared at the beginning.

Not long after, several high-definition photos quietly appeared on the Internet.

The scene of the Pixiu alien attacking the members of the Gaim Team, the scene of Sato Kazuma driving after the alien, and even the scene of Kousaka Honoka confronting the alien in the park...

A large amount of evidence about the connection between aliens and Rhythm Knights was secretly put in the public eye by the World Tree Consortium. With their instigation, the alien attack was said to be caused by the Rhythm Knights' improper operation of the lock, and a trend of "everything is the Rhythm Knights' fault" began to form on the Internet.

Although some rational fans still believe in the character of their idols, most of the people are just spectators and don’t care whether the matter is true or false. Once the trend is formed, the truth is no longer important.

Minami Kotori found out about this when she went to the hospital to visit and take care of the injured Yazawa Nico.

At that time, she was pointed at and scolded by the family of another victim in the corridor. The harsh words made Minami Xiaoniao feel very uncomfortable.

But her words of defense were feeble. After all, it was impossible for a person to abandon her stomach and let everyone see how many bowls of noodles were in it just to prove her innocence.

There was no other way, she could only try to find the person involved to understand the real situation.

"Can't get through..."

However, now that all members have been captured by the World Tree Group, it is naturally impossible for Minami Kotori to find Kousaka Honoka and the others.

It was as if the situation yesterday was repeating itself. Today it was Minami Kotori’s turn and she couldn’t find the Armored Knight no matter how hard she tried.

However, Nan Xiaoniao couldn't just stand there and watch. Since several captains were not there, she simply contacted the second-in-command of other teams.

Although most teams ignored her call, there were still several teams such as Baron, Invid, and Axis who were willing to communicate and jointly resolve the current situation.

After agreeing on the time and place, Minami Kotori rushed there without stopping, hoping to resolve the current situation of Rhythm Knights as soon as possible.

However, misfortunes never come alone is often the main theme of the world.

Just as she was passing a block, she was shocked to discover that there was a loud noise of smashing and looting coming from a nearby bank.

"Robbery? At a time like this?"

Just as doubts emerged in her mind, the scene she saw the next second made Minami Xiaoniao open her eyes in surprise.

What came out of the bank was not the five big guys wearing hoods or paper bags as she had imagined, but a primary alien with a physical body.

Unlike the irrational appearance that Minami Kotori had in mind, this alien was holding several heavy bags in its hands, and it grew wings from its back and flew away. Its movement pattern seemed very logical.

"Foreigners actually rob banks?"

The ominous premonition became stronger and stronger, and as if possessed by a ghost, Nan Xiaoniao took a step forward and chased in the direction the alien flew away.

Then, at the destination, she discovered a truth that made her extremely angry and disappointed - the alien was controlled by a team of rhythm knights, and a group of ruffians took the bag full of money from the honest alien with a smile, without any guilt or remorse on their faces, but full of pride and excitement.

"Hahaha! We should have done this a long time ago! Let those bastards look down on us before they do!"

The leading young man in red looked at the lock in his hand with joy, as if he had just accomplished something remarkable.

This made Nan Xiaoniao feel very nauseous and she took a few steps back, so she was discovered by the young man without noticing. However, the young man did not show any hostility. Instead, he greeted Nan Xiaoniao with a smile on his face.

"Hey~ Isn't this the second-in-command of the Gaim Team? What do you want from us?"

"Do you know what you are doing?"

"Haha, what's the matter? Since those ignorant idiots think we are the monster's accomplices, we should be prepared to be bitten back by the monster~"

The young man was not ashamed but proud of it. He stood up from his position with a skillful street dance move and showed the lock in his hand to Minami Kotori.

"We are the ones with power! With this power, why should we listen to the instructions of a group of weaklings?"

"Are you worthy of being a rhythm knight like this?"

Minami Kotori is angry!

She clenched her fist tightly, wishing she could hit the bastard in the face with it.

And this preaching attitude made the young man, who was originally friendly, look gloomy.

"What? I'm talking to you nicely because you're a Rhythm Knight like me. You don't really think you have the right to tell me what to do, do you?"

With a thought, the alien who was waiting behind the young man stepped forward and approached Nan Xiaoniao step by step. 】

Beast of Mercy: As expected, most humans are still too stupid!

Chaos Evil Gudako: Ah this.

Iron Fist Invincible: I am lost in the cyber violence and power that does not belong to me...

Brother Jie: Great! It seems that there are not only big first-year students, but also many small first-year students!

Bank Robbery Song: Well, this is the first time I have such a deep understanding of why the teacher and Senior Hoshino rejected my proposal at that time.

Pink Dumpling: Wait! Is this situation dangerous? There is no one around the bird to protect her!

Cancer of the Earth: It's over, Kotori will need a knife too? Don't do that! If Kotori gets into trouble, Honoka will probably go crazy!

[ ]: That shouldn't be the case. After all, isn't the bird goddess fine? She's already a god, so she can't die, right?

Long-term vegetarian: Yes.

The dead fish eyes of the Great Sensei: Someone will definitely come to the rescue, or at worst the Bird Goddess will have to save herself.

[Looking at the aliens approaching her, Nan Xiaoniao could only retreat repeatedly, with fear on her face.

However, this situation did not last long. Just when it approached to a certain distance, another alien with green muscles suddenly rushed out from behind Nan Xiaoniao and quickly took care of its opponent. The group of young men were scared and fled in all directions, without even having time to take the stolen money.

"Really? You're already an adult but you still yell 'power, power' every day. Aren't you ashamed? It's annoying enough to have one person like him who is in the late stage of chuunibyou."

"Hehe, I think comparing the captain to this group of scumbags is really too pitiful~"

"Well, I didn't say anything, so don't take it personally."

The weak voice and the laughing voice were getting closer and closer. Attracted by these two somewhat familiar voices, Minami Kotori looked back and saw Zack and Peko from the Baron team walking slowly behind her.

"Zack? Why are you guys here?"

"Nothing, just strolling around."

"Actually, it was Zack who noticed someone was robbing nearby and ran over in a hurry, and then he saw your back~"

"Aya...Peko, you talk too much."

"Okay, okay~"
