The Knight of the Second Generation of Demons Re-enacts

"Yes."

Kousaka nodded and told Minghyō what happened that day.

That night, after receiving the task, Kosaka originally planned to track and investigate the man for a period of time. The victim's body has not been found yet, so Kosaka wanted to find relevant evidence from the other party's daily actions.

But after he went to the suspect's residence and company respectively, the young police officer was unable to find the suspect as he had hoped.

Just when Takasaka began to wonder if the guy had already fled for fear of crime, a shrill scream and the sound of something exploding from nearby attracted him.

Then, he witnessed the entire process of graying for the first time.

The man with a normal look on his face slowly turned into white ash in front of him as he walked. This extremely shocking scene almost refreshed Kousaka's three views and made him once again feel the unusualness of the ash case.

Takasaka was very smart. After repeatedly confirming that there were no other witnesses around, he collected a small amount of white ash samples and quietly left the scene. He never made the matter public, and it seemed as if he had not had time to start an investigation.

As expected, he received a notice from the top the day before yesterday, exchanging the case on his hands for a mission to catch a thief, and then today he saw the wanted warrant for the suspect who was absconding for fear of crime.

"Senior, your guess is correct."

Kosaka had a serious look on his face. The suspect's death took place near his company, and the existence of the graying case was no longer a secret in the police station. However, the investigation ended up with a completely contradictory result.

"The top brass is trying their best to conceal the Ashing case. If it weren't for the sheer coincidence of this incident, we might not even know that the guy is dead. Now we can only foolishly go around hunting for a dead person."

"Yes."

The verification of the conjecture did not make Mingpiao feel relieved, but while he felt the seriousness of the situation, he also realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Because of the coincidence of this incident and Takasaka's caution, even the high-level insider who had always been on high alert did not expect that Takasaka would be the first discoverer of this incident, and they inadvertently grasped a crucial clue.

Why did the suspect appear near the company that night? Who did he encounter?

Mingpiao has a hunch that as long as they can investigate this matter thoroughly, they will be able to get to the bottom of the so-called ashing case.

After some discussion, the two finally decided that Meihyo would investigate what happened that night, while Kosaka would follow orders and continue to catch the thief in order to avoid suspicion.

"Don't worry, Kosaka. I will never let go of this clue you worked so hard to find."

Patting Kousaka's shoulder, Narumiya said confidently.

"After all, such luck will never happen again!"】

How could my XX be so cute: Yes, it really is!

Detective Sakaido:6.

Miss Pink Fairy: This is already Pado-level luck. All the cases I got are related to Orphino.

Let’s get up and talk about life: Brother, he doesn’t have any physical qualities that attract Ophiino, right?

Sleeping Beauty of Literature: I didn’t expect that scumbag boss could have such a role.

Contains alcohol! : This man probably never dreamed that he came to assassinate me just to silence me, but by chance he became the evidence for the police to find Aophion.

Death God Elementary School Student: Rated as the most valuable kill.

[In the afternoon, Yukino Yukinoshita and Hachiman Hikigaya, who were invited by the Intelligent Brain Company, arrived as scheduled.

Although they have considered the possibility that this is a Hongmen Banquet set up by Zhinao Company, for the two people whose investigation has currently reached a deadlock, this is also an opportunity to test Zhinao Company.

The Intelligent Brain Company might be in cahoots with those Orphinos, but this is ultimately just an assumption made by the people in the laundry shop.

If you don't verify it, it will always remain just an assumption.

With the determination to find out the truth, Yukinoshita Yukino and Hikigaya Hachiman, who had changed into formal clothes, entered the meeting place under the guidance of the receptionist.

I finally met the current president of Zhinao Company, Ayanokouji Atsuomi, for the first time.

However, unlike the tense atmosphere they had imagined, after meeting the two, Ayanokouji Atsuomi, who gave people the impression of being intimidating without even getting angry, actually showed a friendlier attitude than either of them had imagined.

Not only did he allow Hikigaya Hachiman to move closer to him, carrying the suitcase containing the Faiz belt, but he also prepared a table full of sumptuous high-end cuisine for the two of them.

When he discovered that Hikigaya Hachiman was blowing air into the soup because of the cat's tongue, he even enthusiastically suggested that the maid standing beside him blow it to cool him down, which made Hikigaya Hachiman blush. In the end, he repeatedly waved his hands and rejected the kindness under the warm gaze of the maid. 】

In the chat group of the service department...

Mr. Pan: Why are you blushing? Yukino's contempt (Part 1) Jpg.

The dead fish eyes of the Great Sensei: Can you blame me for this?

Pink Dumpling: It's nice to have someone blow you cool, Xiaoqi. The maid is very pretty. Yui is puffy (middle) Jpg.

The dead fish eyes of the Great Teacher: Hey! Didn’t I refuse?

ZIO II: But you obviously hesitated for a moment, didn't you?

The dead fish eyes of the Great Sensei: Get out of my house right now!

[Feeling that Hikigaya Hachiman's performance was somewhat embarrassing, Yukinoshita Yukino simply turned a blind eye to it and looked back at the smiling Ayanokouji Atsuomi, and said with some caution.

"Okay, I think you, President Ayanokouji, didn't invite us here just to treat us to a meal, right? Can we get down to business now?"

"Of course, this is my next plan, Miss Yukinoshita." Even though he could clearly feel Yukinoshita Yukino's prickly attitude, the perfect business smile on President Ayanokouji's face did not fluctuate in the slightest.

"In fact, I should have met you when you arrived in Tokyo, but unfortunately I was on a business trip during this period and couldn't rush back immediately. I had no choice but to choose the middle way to meet you now. No, judging from the results, this choice is obviously the worst option. It was a mistake on my part."

At this point, Ayanokouji Atsuomi's smile faded slightly, and the two people who were looking at him clearly felt an emotion called regret.

"I didn't expect that you, Miss, would take such action just because you couldn't contact me, which ultimately led to a lot of tragedies."

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned and her face suddenly became gloomy.

"what do you mean?"

"Please don't get me wrong. I don't mean to blame you. From your perspective, you would not trust the current AI company. It would be the best choice for you to find other insiders of the Yukinoshita family.

After all, as a member of the Yukinoshita family, our hiding of the information about the Yukinoshita family is indeed very suspicious to you. However, I must clarify one thing to you..." Ayanokouji Atsuomi's face became serious, and he met Yukinoshita Yukino's cold gaze without dodging.

"The fundamental reason why we did that was to protect the Yukinoshita family."

"Protect?" The unexpected words shocked the two people present at once. Yukinoshita Yukino's clever brain immediately worked at full speed, trying to understand what Ayanokouji Atsuomi meant.

Of course, Ayanokouji Atsuomi had no intention of being a riddle teller, and explained his words directly.

As he explained, a maid standing beside him handed a tablet to the two of them and showed them a video.

It was a picture of the goat Aoife attacking the research facility of Zhinao Company. The whole process from her breaking into the facility to killing the researchers was recorded in great clarity.

The audience recognized it immediately, as this is exactly the plot at the beginning of the first episode.

Combined with the fact that Yukinoshita Yukino got the belt and the existence of a good person like Xiao Ma Ge in Orpheino, the more mainstream view now is to speculate that this goat Orphee may be the sister Yukinoshita Haruno who gave Yukinoshita Yukino the belt.

At the very least, he is a member of the Yukinoshita family or an assistant.

[Of course, without a God's perspective, Yukinoshita Yukino and Hikigaya Hachiman naturally could not know the good and evil camp of the goat Offie. In the eyes of Yukinoshita Yukino now, Offie is synonymous with "evil".

In 2003, when Photoshop technology was not as advanced as it is today, this video was enough to remind the two of what Ayanokouji Atsuomi wanted them to know.

Aophion attacked the Brain Company.

Once they knew this irrefutable fact, the journalism expert Ayanokouji Atsuomi only needed to operate properly to reverse the two people's suspicion of Zhinao Company.

"To be honest, the head of the Yukinoshita family and others disappeared in this attack. Also missing was the Kamen Rider system that our company created to fight against Orphino, which is the Faiz Gear in your hands."

As he spoke, Ayanokouji Atsuomi pointed at the suitcase that Hikigaya Hachiman had placed on his lap.

"We originally thought that the people of the Yukinoshita family had been killed, and the Knight System had fallen into the hands of Orphino, but after that, the news that people related to the Yukinoshita family were killed one after another made us realize another possibility..."

"Mother and the others are not dead yet. They escaped with the Knight System and secretly sent the Faiz Belt to me."

Before Ayanokouji Atsuomi could finish his words, Yukinoshita Yukino, with her pupils trembling, spoke for him.

"That's right. It is precisely because we realize this that we have no power to fight against Ophino that we have to hide all the information related to the Yukinoshita family. In this way, we can ensure the personal safety of those involved."

The logic gradually became clear. After listening to Ayanokouji Atsuomi's story, Yukinoshita Yukino's face gradually turned pale, and Hikigaya Hachiman's face also turned ugly.

Following this logic, both he and she realized something extremely terrifying when they thought about it more carefully.

If Orphino is really also searching for the Yukinoshita family, then now that the information of the relevant persons has been protected by the Intelligent Brain Company, Yukino, the only descendant of the Yukinoshita family, has become their biggest breakthrough.

As luck would have it, every time before they could get to the door, those involved would be got there first by Orpheino.

The only exception was the professor. Now that he thought about it, Hikigaya and his group did not visit him in the name of investigating clues about the Yukinoshita family, but met him in passing when they accompanied Isen Jinna to look for Kawaharaki Momoka.

Later, Hachiman Hikigaya said that Orphino had been following them that time, and when they went to look for the professor, the professor had disappeared.

All the fragmented clues were instantly connected in the minds of the two people at this moment. Under the gaze of Ayanokouji Atsuomi who pretended to sigh, Yukinoshita Yukino subconsciously covered her mouth and actually felt a little nauseous.

Even though Ayanokouji Atsuomi didn't say it explicitly, the girl with a strong sense of justice still thought that the deaths of those people might be the result of her investigation, and inevitably became shaken.

"This is not your fault, Ms. Yukinoshita. As I just said, even I could not have predicted Orphino's behavior in advance. For Orphino, killing is as instinctive as eating and sleeping. Even without you, who can guarantee that the victims are absolutely safe?"

Seeing that the other party looked somewhat distraught, Ayanokouji Atsuomi finally showed his fangs.

"But here, listen to my unwelcome request. Our company hopes that you can return the Faiz equipment to our company."]

Accountant Ishigami: Wow, what a sinister guy, he is totally confusing right and wrong! What do you mean that Ophino found those victims because of Yukinoshita Yukino's investigation? It's obvious that you sent them out yourself, okay?

Hundred Thousand Miko: She is described as someone who studied journalism and is as annoying as a certain Tengu.

L: I see. That's why I was wondering why they killed those involved only now. Given the size of the Zhinao Company in the plot, it's impossible that they know less than a college student who has been studying abroad for many years. Was it because of this move?

Pure Love God of War: Haha, he deliberately killed the relevant people in front of Yukinoshita Yukino and others, so as to take the opportunity to put pressure on Yukinoshita Yukino and interfere with her judgment.

Sister Sun: That’s so mean! Even if it were me, I wouldn’t be able to withstand such a combination of punches without any preparation.

Brother Jie: That bastard BYD can actually be considered a victim. It's really an insult to the word victim.

Unknown: Oh, there is nothing we can do. Brother Xiao Ma can't just hang a loud speaker on the public channel and repeat all day that the beast is Owl Aoife, right?

Rhodes Island CEO: As expected, this Ayanokouji Atsuomi is no pushover.

Mr. Pan: I have a bad feeling (meaning I’m going to be slapped in the face again).

"Return Faiz!?"

After these words were spoken, before Yukinoshita Yukino could react, Hikigaya Hachiman immediately stood up from his seat.

Although he said at the beginning that he had no interest in Faiz, but after a period of adjustment, Hikigaya Hachiman had already accepted Faiz's identity. Moreover, he had just made up his mind to protect other people's dreams not long ago. Now that he was suddenly not allowed to become Faiz anymore, he really couldn't accept it for a while.

However, just as the words of rebuttal came to his throat, he consciously closed his mouth and sat down again in silence.

Although he felt uncomfortable, Hikigaya Hachiman never forgot that the Faiz belt did not belong to him. He was just helping Yukinoshita Yukino, so the decision of whether to keep the belt or not could only be made by her, its owner.

Hikigaya and Ayanokouji Atsuomi both focused their attention on the girl who pursed her lips.

Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes flickered, and for a moment she began to waver.

Seeing this, Ayanokouji Atsuomi immediately struck while the iron was hot.
