Knight Asylum

"Will do."

The man sneered and waved his hand. The younger brothers who followed him immediately stepped forward to open the door of the confinement room, and pulled down the restraint chairs on the left and right, and moved Asakura Wei out together with the restraint chairs. Even if doctors and nurses saw them along the way, they pretended to know nothing.

"See you next time~"

Taking the heavy box, Horii Masaru smiled brightly and waved towards the backs of the Beast Gang members.

"Hey... you really aren't afraid of being robbed by the thieves."

Gayaze came out from the corner, leaned against the wall with his arms folded across his chest, and smiled meaningfully at Horii Masaru.

"A terrorist organization does not mean that all its members are crazy. As long as there is still profit to be made, they are more honest than businessmen," Horii Masato turned slowly and looked at Gayaze, grinning, "This business will take a long time."

"Is that right?"

Gayaze shook his head and licked his lips with his tongue.

"So when are you going to sell me out?"

"It depends on who can pay the price I want," Horii Masaru lifted the box in his hand and shook it left and right. "Even if you get ten more boxes, it won't be enough."

"Huhu - this is really touching," Gayaze covered his mouth and smiled.

At the same time, Asakura Takeshi had been thrown into the back seat of the van along with the restraint chair. The man made a gesture and the driver immediately nodded, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, drove the car in the opposite direction and squeezed into the traffic. The Asakura Takeshi, who had been extremely irritable before, suddenly calmed down and looked at the people around him with interest.

"Wow - you guys, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The Beast Gang members were stunned for a moment as they didn't expect Asakura Takeshi to be so calm all of a sudden. However, they were all well-known thugs and couldn't be easily intimidated. One of them directly took out a piece of cloth and covered Asakura Takeshi's face with it.

When Asakura Takeshi woke up again, he was sitting on a chair with his wrists tied to the armrests of the chair with steel wire. It was pitch black around him. Accompanied by a few knocks and the sound of electric current, a strong light shone from above Asakura Takeshi's head, dispelling the darkness around him.

Asakura Wei suppressed the discomfort in his eyes and glanced around.

This seemed to be a warehouse, and several members of the Beast Gang were walking towards him with malicious smiles on their faces.

"What... do you want to do?"

"This has nothing to do with you, but... it's not impossible to explain to you. You are our product, and we are going to process you now."

As they were talking, the two people who had pulled out the restraint bed earlier placed a rectangular object covered with black cloth on all four sides around Asakura Takeshi. They raised their hands and pulled it, and a mirror appeared in front of Asakura Takeshi.

"Mirror?" Asakura Takeshi turned his head left and right.

The man sneered, took out a blank knight card box from his pocket and took a step forward. Suddenly, the upright mirror began to shake violently, and ripples appeared on the surface, as if something was trying to get out of it.

The man's face changed, and his body expanded rapidly as if inflated. Ferocious animal patterns appeared on his face. "Damn it! Did the people from the Zhinao Group even find this place?"

"Impossible! This is the warehouse we just got our hands on!"

"Besides... the Mirror Knight can't make such a big noise!"

The other few people also retreated quickly and their bodies began to change strangely.

A hissing sound came from the mirror. Under the astonished gaze of everyone, the head of a purple king cobra emerged from the mirror and roared towards the sky.

“This momentum—”

The man holding the blank Knight Card Box was stunned for a moment and then his eyes widened.

"No doubt about it! This mirror beast is very powerful! Hahahaha——as long as we make a contract with this guy! We can take revenge on the Brain Group!"

The man walked towards the King Cobra with a big laugh, and raised the blank Knight Card Box in his hand to the King Cobra with confidence. However, before the Knight Card Box could take effect, the King Cobra opened its mouth and sprayed out horrible venom. The man was covered with the venom before he could react. Pungent white smoke surged up, and the man was corroded by the venom while screaming.

The sound of the blank knight card box falling to the ground woke up the remaining people.

fear?

Do not--

On the contrary, the more dangerous it is, the stronger the power of the mirror beast is, and the greater the increase brought by the contract with it.

Now that one person is missing, it’s even better. They can take that position and become the master of this mirror beast.

Everyone's eyes were instantly fixed on the blank knight card box in the disgusting dissolution.

Everyone started at the same time, reaching out towards the Knight Card Box, but before any of them could, a person stepped into the dissolved substance, bent down and picked up the Knight Card Box.

"Wow - is this what you want?"

Asakura Takeshi raised his head and looked at the stunned people. Blood kept dripping from his wrist. The purple king cobra behind Asakura Takeshi raised its head, roared, and opened its mouth to bite Asakura Takeshi, but Asakura Takeshi dodged it with great agility.

"You guy! Put down the Knight Card Box!" Several people finally reacted and roared in the direction of Asakura Takeshi, but they were afraid of the King Cobra and dared not move forward.

Asakura Takeshi took a look at the Knight Card Box in his hand, then looked at the mirror where the King Cobra came out. The corners of his mouth slowly cracked, and he raised the Knight Card Box in his hand towards the mirror with a bloodthirsty smile. In the mirror, a belt appeared around Asakura Takeshi's waist, flipped out and buckled around Asakura Takeshi's waist.

"Is that so..."

Asakura Takeshi's fingers ran across the buckle slot of the belt, and with a flip of his wrist he slid the knight card box into it.

Several shadows flipped out, and a cobra-like mask covered Asakura Takeshi's face.

Asakura Takeshi twisted his shoulders left and right and let out a cry of relief, then turned his head to look at the stunned people.

Chapter 238: The Key to Breaking the Time Reversal

"The Brain Group is at war with the Beast Gang?"

"Is the friction between terrorist organizations in [S·L] getting worse?"

Daisuke Okubo put down the draft in his hand, glanced at Shinji Shirodo, who was standing in front of him, scratching his head but looking somewhat proud and confident, then he let out a long breath and shook the draft in his hand.

"Shinji, you want to investigate these things? You are crazy."

"Senior, what's going on——"

"Call the editor-in-chief!"

"Editor-in-chief, isn't this the big news you wanted?" Shiroto Shinji rubbed his hands. "Look, other newspapers haven't reported this. This is our chance! Besides, editor-in-chief, don't you think this is strange?!"

"Shinji, are you an idiot?"

"Eh?"

"That's because no one dares to investigate. Do you want to be hunted down by the Brain Group or be bombarded by the Beast Gang?"

Seeing that Shinji Shirodo didn't understand what he meant, Okubo Daisuke stood up suddenly, raised his finger and poked Shinji Shirodo's head hard with a look of disappointment.

"Do you think other newspapers didn't notice it?"

"But, but... there is definitely something wrong here," after being poked by Okubo Daisuke, Shiroto Shinji understood the situation a little, but he still grumbled unwillingly.

"This is not... something we can control, and!" Not knowing whether he was trying to convince Shiroto Shinji or himself, Okubo Daisuke raised his voice, "It's normal for gangs to rob each other in [S·L]. It's no big deal. Compared to this, Shinji, go investigate this!"

As he spoke, Daisuke Okubo slapped a report into Shinji Shirodo's hand.

"Recently, a lot of people have mysteriously disappeared. I've investigated, and it seems that the consensus is that this is caused by the new Gurongi game recently announced by Servius Turia. But I suspect that something is not right. You should investigate and see if there is anything fishy going on."

“Eh…I understand.”

Shinji Shirodo lowered his head, rolled up the report and stuffed it into his bag, then went downstairs dejectedly, picked up his scooter, pushed it forward a few steps, and passed by someone.

Shinji Shiroto was startled and subconsciously turned his head to look over. The man was over 1.8 meters tall, wearing a leather jacket with a python pattern. He walked in a very arrogant manner and exuded an indescribable brutality.

.

"Ha...what a strange person."

Shinji Shirodo tilted his head, didn't care, and continued pushing his scooter forward.

Asakura Takeshi paused, looked around, and an indescribable feeling of irritation surged in his heart. He turned around and kicked the trash can over. His fierce and bloodthirsty eyes made passers-by around him avoid him.

----

"Is it a conflict between the Brain Group and the Beast Gang?"

Kitaoka Hideichi, who was lying on the sofa, put down his cell phone, folded his hands in front of his chest and let out a long breath.

This is [S·L] and it is normal for terrorist organizations to fight each other, so not many people care about the reason for the fight between the Intelligent Brain Group and the Beast Gang and other evil forces. If it were an ordinary day, he would not care and would at most make a few complaints.

But now he is an insider. He knows what the Zhinao Group is doing and why the Zhinao Group would suddenly fight those terrorist organizations without leaving any room for them.

"Mirror World..."

Kitaoka Shuichi whispered softly.

He didn't know what the future was that Murakami Kyoji was talking about, but what Murakami Kyoji showed him made him shudder. He saw with his own eyes several living people being corroded by mirrors and turned into monsters. He wanted to scream in horror, but he was not someone who knew nothing about the mirror world.

Hideyuki Kagawa, a well-known professor, almost lost his reputation because of an experimental accident.

It was a losing lawsuit, and he had no intention of taking it over, but Hideyuki Kagawa showed him something he could not refuse, which was the existence of the mirror world.

Logically speaking, this technology should only be owned by Kagawa Hideyuki. Why would the Brain Group have it? Why...the Beast Gang, the Mafia, and other terrorist organizations have it?

One unreasonable situation after another made Kitaoka Hideichi's head swell. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and the feeling that he had forgotten something extremely important became stronger and stronger.

"Ah...what happened to me?"

Kitaoka Hideichi stood up and walked with difficulty among the gradually piling up domestic garbage.

At first he tried to clean up the place himself, but within twenty minutes he gave up. This was clearly his own home, but he felt strange about every detail. He didn't know where the rag was, nor did he remember which day of the week someone would come to collect the garbage. It was as if this was not his home.

Of course, this must be his home, but something is missing.

After returning to his desk with difficulty, Hideichi Kitaoka opened the drawer, swept away all the things, and pulled out the blank knight card box inside.

Looking at the Knight Card Box in his palm, Hideichi Kitaoka was a little nervous. He would probably never forget the scene of those people wearing the Knight Card Box being eroded by the mirror world and turned into monsters.

If he puts it on, will he also be corroded and become an irrational monster?

When he thought of this, Kitaoka Hideichi felt that the Knight Card Box in his hand was very hot. He subconsciously threw it back into the drawer, put all the things on the Knight Card Box and closed the drawer with force.

This series of actions exhausted all of Kitaoka Hideichi's physical strength. Kitaoka Hideichi slumped back in his chair, holding his head, and muttering to himself subconsciously.

"Feel sorry……"

Kitaoka Hideichi didn't know who he was apologizing to, but he just felt that he had to apologize.

In the glass that reflected Kitaoka Hideichi's cowardly and evasive posture at the moment, a cold giant was silently guarding Kitaoka Hideichi.

----

After ending the call with Takuma Itsuki, Red patted his forehead and took a deep breath.

With Zhuo Mo Yilang's efficiency, he would surely be able to confirm his idea soon. If he was just overthinking it, and the exchange of fire between the Zhinao Group and the Beast Gang was really due to other reasons, then that would be fine, but what if his guess was correct?

What should he do?

First of all, one thing can be confirmed. The Intelligent Brain Group, whose main purpose is to kill people, will never use the power of the mirror world to help mankind. Of course, other terrorist organizations will also not be able to use the mirror world to do good things. As things stand now, they have probably reached or even exceeded the research progress of the Takamizawa Group in the previous timeline.

If this continues, there will definitely be a rampage in the core of the mirror world that is even larger than the scale of the previous timeline.

Leaving aside other terrorist organizations, the building of Zhinao Group is located in Xingxiu District, the most populous place. He certainly cannot use the same method to deal with Zhinao Group as he did with the Phantom Demon. Moreover, he has no control over the core of the mirror world.

Of course, the most important thing is Shirou Kanzaki's time reversal. Even if he has the ability to shatter the core of the mirror world, Shirou Kanzaki can easily erase this incident and let him start over.

The skill of time reversal is so unsolvable that it seems that only if Kanzaki Shirou gives up can the cycle be ended.

Chapter 239: This is a contest, not a trap

Although the direction has been confirmed, the difficulty of the problem has not decreased, and it even feels more difficult.

Because Red found that he didn't know Shirou Kanzaki at all.

The Hongshang Foundation definitely knows the details of Shiro Kanzaki, but Mitsuo Hongshang will never tell him so easily.

Then the only option left is Kagawa Hideyuki.

Kagawa Hideyuki acted to stop Kanzaki Shiro, so he should have a general understanding of Kanzaki Shiro's purpose. And as Kanzaki Shiro's teacher, even if Kagawa Hideyuki didn't know Kanzaki Shiro's past, he should be able to give him some clues.

After figuring it out, Red immediately went to Hideyuki Kagawa's secret laboratory and knocked on the door.

This time it was Tojo who opened the door. Because this had happened so many times, Reid didn't need to speak, Tojo spoke directly, "The teacher is not here now."

"Tojo, where is Professor Kagawa now? I have something important to discuss with him. It's very important!"

Because Red's expression was so serious and sincere, Tojo leaned back slightly and whispered, "Did you find anything?"

"The Brain Group, the Beast Gang, and a bunch of terrorist organizations, they got the research of Kanzaki Shirou on closing the mirror world!"

Tojo was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and realized the seriousness of the problem.

He believed in Kagawa Hideyuki's strength, but as Kagawa Hideyuki's student and assistant, he knew many of the limitations of the Mirror Knights. If a large number of Mirror Knights besieged them, this limitation would completely explode.

"Teacher, we should be almost at the old research institute of Qingmingyuan University now!"

"Qingmingyuan University? Why do we want to go to Qingmingyuan University?" Reid looked puzzled.

He had investigated Kagawa Hideyuki's research institute and found no clues about the mirror world. After meeting Kagawa Hideyuki face to face several times, he also realized that Kagawa Hideyuki was a very cautious person.
