Knight Asylum

"We have received news that someone has been using the teacher's research institute to conduct research on the mirror world recently," Tojo lowered his voice.

"News? Who!"

"Sano Mitsuru."

Trap! This is 100% a trap!

Reid knew Sano Mitsuru's human nature too well, and Kagawa Hideyuki was no idiot either. He probably also knew Sano Mitsuru's little thoughts and knew that this was most likely a trap.

But just like he knew before that Sano Mitsuru wanted to trick him but still went to the appointment, now that he knew it was a trap, it was not a trap but a contest. The person who set up this trap was definitely not a small character. Only by jumping into this trap could he know more information.

"Contact Professor Kagawa. If you can get in touch with him, you must stop him from going to the research institute! I'll go to Seimeiin University right now!"

After saying that, Red turned around and ran out, straddling the motorized Pegasus that had been waiting for a long time, changing gears and accelerating, piercing into the road like a sharp knife, and speeding towards Qingmingyuan University.

Tojo stood there, silent for a long time, then slowly turned around and closed the door.

In Qingmeiyuan University, Qiao and Sonoda Mari walked one after the other. Of course, this was not intentional on their part, or rather, Qiao was unilaterally rejecting Sonoda Mari and always maintained a very fast walking speed. If Sonoda Mari walked a little slower, she would be left a long distance behind.

"Um! Can't you walk slower?!"

Mari Sonoda held her breath and quickly caught up with Qiao, complaining loudly.

"Ah? Aren't you the one who's anxiously trying to find you, Kusaga Masato?" Qiao raised his hand and pressed it on Sonoda Mari's forehead, preventing Sonoda Mari from getting too close. "I've been accompanying you in this Qingmingyuan University for several days?!"

"This... of course it's me, but you walked too fast," Sonoda Mari's expression froze, she mumbled a few words with a guilty conscience and put her hands on her hips, "I'm tired."

"Oh……"

Qiao's cold reaction made Sonoda Mari very angry, but she could never muster up her confidence when facing Qiao. Whenever she thought of Qiao's unfair lines hidden under her loose coat, she felt despair that she was a complete failure as a woman.

"Hmm - breasts, big breasts, big breasts are fine..."

"what?"

"that……"

Just then, a college student stopped and asked tentatively with some hesitation.

"You guys, were you talking about Masato just now?"

Elegant?

Qiao raised his eyebrows, pressed Sonoda Mari's shoulders and turned her around, "Yes, this guy is looking for Kusaga Masato."

The college student blinked his eyes, suddenly realized what was going on, and clenched his left fist and gently knocked it on the palm of his right hand.

"Ah~ You must have come here to join the Masato fan club because of his reputation."

"what?"

Qiao was stunned for a moment. She knew that there was a group called fan club in this world. Only those who were very popular had fan clubs, which were a symbol of super popularity. But according to Mari Sonoda's description, Masato Soka was a very cowardly person who was easily bullied.

Of course, the most surprised person was Mari Sonoda.

"Masato, there's a fan club? Huh?"

"Yeah, you don't even know this?" The college student looked surprised.

"Actually, I'm Masato's old friend, and I'm here to find him," said Sonoda Mari, as she took out an old photo from her pocket, raised her finger and poked at Masato Soka's position, then pointed at herself.

"Hey...it's really the childhood Masato!"

It should be said that he is worthy of being a member of the Masato Fan Club. The college student immediately recognized the young Masato Soka.

"Do you know where Masato is now? I have something important to discuss with him," Sonoda Mari put away the photo and clasped her hands together in prayer.

"About this matter... Actually, Masato seems to be investigating something recently, and I haven't seen him for several days," the college student pulled his backpack with a look of regret, "but someone saw him yesterday near the research institute that Professor Kagawa used to use."

As soon as the college student finished speaking, the bell rang.

"Ah - sorry, I have to go to class now. If you find Masato, please say hello to him for me," the college student waved his hand, pulled his backpack, and walked quickly towards the teaching building not far away.

After watching the college students enter the teaching building, Qiao spread his hands and said, "My work is done."

After saying that, Qiao turned around and left. Sonoda Mari didn't react until she saw Qiao walked a long distance away. She quickly ran over and grabbed Qiao's arm, "Wait a minute! Why are you leaving now?"

"Ah? Didn't you hear what that guy just said? Masato Soga has a fan club at Seimeiin University, so he must be a celebrity. Why don't you just ask someone yourself? If that doesn't work, go to Professor Kagawa's former lab and spend a few days there. Maybe you can find Masato Soga."

Qiao raised his eyes without even turning his head.

"You... just want to get rid of me and go find that Red, right?"

Qiao paused, turned around with a furious look and raised his voice.

"You, what nonsense are you talking about! I have a job too!"

"If you dare to get rid of me now, I will go find Red and tell him that you never thought of helping me at all!"

"Ah——you! You are so despicable!"

Chapter 240: Haunted

Under the threat of Mari Sonoda that you don't want Red to know that you have been perfunctory in responding to his request, Qiao was dragged to the front of Hideyuki Kagawa's research institute by Mari Sonoda against his will.

Masato Souga is not a Pokémon, and just because he appeared near the research institute where Hideyuki Kagawa used to live doesn't mean he will often appear there.

but……

What if?

The college student from the Masato Fan Club also said that Soka Masato is investigating something recently, and the research institute used by Professor Kagawa should be part of it. So if you walk around the research institute used by Professor Kagawa, you might really meet Soka Masato.

"It's empty. What on earth is that Soga Yato coming here to investigate?" Qiao raised his hand and opened the door of the research institute. The cold air that came towards him made Qiao frown uncomfortably.

“No one has been using this place lately.”

"I don't know either..." Sonoda Mari pulled her backpack and carefully shrank behind Qiao.

The gloomy atmosphere in the institute made her feel like she was on the set of a horror movie.

"This place can't be haunted, right..." Sonoda Mari couldn't help but complain.

"Please don't say such scary things," Qiao's mouth twitched, "How could this place be haunted?"

After hearing what Sonoda Mari said, she felt a little scared.

"But this is [S·L]...or rather, anything can happen in [S·L]," said Mari Sonoda weakly.

Damn it! There is absolutely no way to refute it!

Qiao took a deep breath and raised his finger, pretending to be rational and analyzed, "What you said makes sense, but haunting... there must be a reason. Why is Professor Kagawa's laboratory haunted?"

Just when Qiao was feeling smug about her logical analysis, she suddenly heard the sound of Mari Sonoda's teeth chattering behind her.

"Well, that..." Sonoda Mari swallowed hard, showing a smile that was uglier than crying, and turned the phone to Qiao, "It seems that a serious accident happened here before. More than a dozen students are still in danger of death. Then, this matter was suppressed by Qingmingyuan University. Qingmingyuan University also hired a black-hearted lawyer to use some means to make those parents stop talking."

Okay, it would be abnormal if this wasn't haunted.

Qiao grabbed Sonoda Mari's round face and pulled it hard, "Why did you want to check?"

"I, I just want peace of mind!"

Mari Sonoda also looked aggrieved.

At this moment, a sharp collision sound rang out from the darkness of the research institute. Sonoda Mari and Takumi both shuddered and took a step back.

"You, didn't you just say that there was no one inside?" Sonoda Mari grabbed Qiao's arm with a pale face.

"How should I know? Oh, that's right! It must be a coincidence! Because I opened the door, the wind blew in and something was blown down!"

As soon as Qiao finished speaking, a sharp, teeth-grinding sound of metallic twisting came from the darkness, and several bright lights flashed from it. There seemed to be a figure swaying inside.

"Well, um...was there someone just now..." Sonoda Mari's teeth were chattering.

"Hey - why are you so cowardly?"

"Because! That's a ghost! A ghost that died but refused to leave the world because of injustice!"

"Ah... then let's go in and take a look."

Sonoda Mari was stunned, she slowly looked up at Qiao with her eyes wide open. She didn't understand what was going on. Qiao, who had been pretending to be calm just now, suddenly wasn't panicked at all, and grabbed her arm and walked into the laboratory.

Bluff! It must be a bluff!

The moment she was pulled into the research institute, Mari Sonoda finally realized that Qiao was not trying to scare her, but was really going to take her to explore this obviously haunted laboratory.

"Wait, wait a minute! No, don't do this!"

"What are you afraid of? It's just a ghost."

Although he said that, Qiao was not a devil. Seeing how scared Sonoda Mari was, he did not bother her too much. He groped for the location of the switch and pressed the button. However, probably because no one was using it, Seimeiin University cut off the power supply to the laboratory.

"Could it be a ghost?" Sonoda Mari grabbed Takumi's clothes from behind with a nervous look on her face, "I feel like someone is watching me!"

"It's just a power outage, what are you afraid of?"

Qiao rolled his eyes, walked to the window, raised his hand and pulled open the curtains. The soft sunlight dispelled the darkness in the laboratory, and the narrow space caused by darkness became extremely spacious in an instant.

"See—there is no—"

Qiao turned around with her hands open and was about to laugh at Sonoda Mari's timid appearance, but Sonoda Mari was staring at her with horror on her face. No, to be precise, she was staring at something behind her.

Qiao bent down and rolled over without thinking, and the next second a hand stretched out from the glass and grabbed Qiao fiercely.

"Glass?"

Looking at the hand extending from the glass, Qiao's eyes jumped violently. Without thinking, he pulled out the Faiz belt from his backpack and put it around his waist. He threw the backpack to Sonoda Mari, threw away the Faiz phone and quickly entered the startup password.

"Henshin——"

【Complete】

Qiao buckled the Faiz phone into his belt, clenched his fists, and the red photon blood flowed rapidly. The moment the circulation was completed, a red light swept out. Qiao, wearing the Faiz armor, immediately stepped forward and punched the glass that was stretched out his hand.

The glass shattered on the spot, but Qiao's intuition told him that this had no effect on the guy who had just attacked.

Qiao immediately took a few steps back, raised his hand to stop Sonoda Mari behind him, and was alert to all the glass around him.

Because she was wearing the Faiz armor, her senses were greatly enhanced. The Faiz armor could convert the captured images into electrical signals, so some things that could not be distinguished by the naked eye became clear in her eyes.

There is something in the glass!

"What should I do--" The protected Sonoda Mari held Takumi's backpack tightly and looked around nervously.

"We must escape from here first—"

Qiao protected Sonoda Mari with his right hand, and slowly lowered his left hand to reach for Faiz's phone.

First of all, the other party is definitely not a ghost.

Secondly, the opponent can move freely in the mirror to launch attacks, and her attacks are completely unable to hurt the opponent in the mirror. Moreover, looking at the movement of the hand just now, it seems that it is trying to pull her into the mirror, but if the opponent wants to launch an attack, he must get out of the mirror immediately.

Take advantage of the opponent's attack gap to counterattack?

Qiao glanced at the shivering Sonoda Mari behind him, and his shoulders slumped slightly.

Let’s escape from here first.

Just when Qiao decided to rush out with Sonoda Mari, a familiar roar was heard, and the heavy motorcycle with a black and gold shell smashed the window on the other side.

Qiao was stunned for a moment and then his eyes widened.

"Red?!"

Chapter 241: One Punch to Restore the Name

"Coincidence? Truth?"

Reid, who was rushing to rescue Hideyuki Kagawa, was stunned and exclaimed subconsciously.

"Why are you here!?"

Qiao noticed something unusual.

"Hey! Wait a minute! Why do you call her Zhenli directly? When did your relationship become so close?!"

Red was stunned for a moment, then his mouth twitched, because in the previous timeline, Sonoda Mari insisted that he call her by her name.

Is this explanation okay?

Probably not.

At this moment, Sonoda Mari suddenly exclaimed, "Watch out behind you!"

Red only felt a gust of evil wind coming, and a huge rhinoceros with red eyes rushed straight towards him from the narrow mirror. It was so fast that as soon as Sonoda Mari finished speaking, the rhinoceros horn had already reached Red's forehead.

The strong wind blew Red's hair away, but Red remained extremely calm.
