Knight Asylum

Although he believed that the new Gulangji public of Servius Tulia was the product of internal struggle, the premise of his calm speculation was that it had nothing to do with him. Now that Red appeared at his door, he would rather believe it than not.

"Hey~ Lawyer Kitaoka, open the door! It stinks outside!"

No matter how many times Kitaoka Shuichi prayed in his heart, Red had no intention of leaving.

"Lawyer Kitaoka... please don't lie to yourself, okay? You don't think you can escape, do you? Open the door now so we can talk, otherwise I'm going to break in!"

This guy is serious!!!

Kitaoka Hideichi's mouth twitched. As an undefeated lawyer, he naturally heard that Red was not joking with him.

Although he was quite curious as to why Red, a Gurongi, was so polite and only now expressed his intention to kick the door, but who knows.

Kitaoka Hideichi's face turned pale. He stood up, walked through the garbage with difficulty to the door, and opened it.

"Ah - Lawyer Kitaoka, you don't look very well."

Red really wanted to give him a polite compliment, but at that moment, not only was Kitaoka's hair messy and his eyes bloodshot, but he also exuded an indescribable stench of living waste.

"By the way, what's that smell? Is it the perfume that smells like expired instant noodles? Ugh—"

Kitaoka Hideichi, who had never thought that one day he would be disliked and called foul by Gurongi, twitched his lips, crossed his arms over his chest and raised his chin, "So, Gurongi also needs legal assistance?"

At this point, Kitaoka Hideichi was too lazy to struggle.

Since Gurongi, who was playing a killing game, came to him, it meant that he met the other party's killing conditions.

Anyone targeted by Gurongi is equivalent to being targeted by the god of death. Only an idiot would try to escape from the god of death.

Of course, having said that, at this moment, Kitaoka Hideichi really wanted to escape, but he knew that with his health, it was even a problem whether he could even run away from this neighborhood, let alone escape.

"Legal aid? Ah~ if possible, but before that, where is your assistant?" Red was not polite and walked straight past Kitaoka Hideichi and into Kitaoka Hideichi's house. The garbage pile that was even more messy and worse than outside made Red couldn't help but complain.

Although Yura Goro is taciturn most of the time, he can tell from his every move that Yura Goro really respects Kitaoka Hideichi, and the relationship between him and Kitaoka Hideichi is by no means a simple monetary transaction.

It was hard for him to imagine that Hideichi Kitaoka's house would become like this with Goro Yura around.

Kitaoka Hideichi, who was rolling his eyes and preparing to close the door, paused and his pupils slowly dilated. The sense of incongruity he had been feeling for a long time reached a critical point because of the name Yura Goro.

"Who are you talking about?"

"Yura Goro, your assistant, the big, silent one."

Red, who was bending over to pick up the garbage, paused, straightened up, and slowly turned his head to look at Kitaoka Hideichi.

How could Kitaoka Shuichi not remember Yura Goro?

If this really happened, there was only one possibility left.

"Lawyer Kitaoka, you still remember Yura Goro, right?"

Servi Turia, Enoch District.

"Huh? Starting today, stop hunting down Orphino of the Zhinao Group and participate in the development of Faiz? Don't be ridiculous, you want to put me under house arrest!" Qiao raised his hand and slammed it heavily on the table. The huge force shook the pen holder on the table.

Jingtian, who was sitting opposite Qiao, pinched his nose speechlessly and raised his finger to explain the situation, but he didn't know where to start. After raising his finger for a long time, he lowered his head.

"Didn't I tell you that it's not convenient to attack the Zhinao Group now... If we're unlucky, it might not be easy to attack the Zhinao Group in the future."

"Huh? Is it because of the mirror world? Doesn't Servier Turiar have the same technology? Why don't you just give me a knight card box?" Qiao hated being used by Jingtian, but she hated being locked up in Servier Turiar and unable to leave on the pretext of cooperating with the development even more.

"Knight Card Box...? Ha - I say, don't you find it strange? Why does the Intelligent Brain Group have the same technology as Servais Tulia?" Ida shook his head helplessly.

Iida felt that his temper had improved a lot. Under normal circumstances, Qiao would never have the chance to ask him so many questions, but there was no way, Qiao was his trump card to curry favor with Reid.

Qiao folded her hands across her chest, blinked, let out a long "ah", and finally reacted, her eyes widened.

"Selvi Turiane has an undercover agent from the AI ​​Group!?"

"Ha - why do you think so?" Jingtian couldn't help rolling his eyes. "Even if there really is an undercover agent, we planted it in the Intelligent Brain Group. Besides, that is the technology of the Mirror World. Do you think they can send such important technology out without anyone's tacit consent?"

Qiao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something. However, before Qiao could tell the answer he had guessed, Jingtian continued.

"The Brain Group obtained the Mirror World technology with the tacit approval of Servi Turia or the sponsors. U has been tied to the identity of the savior of mankind for more than ten years. If they want to untie it and replace him, they need some big news."

Iida raised his finger and bent it.

"What do you think about helping Orpheusno put himself in the right place in society?"

This time, Qiao understood, "Selvi Tulia intends to help Aofienno clear his name?"

"That's right - I don't know if I can get other people's votes~"

Iida crossed his fingers and smiled meaningfully.

"All Ophienos, and those who want to become Ophienos, will fully support the new savior of mankind."

"A group with a clear direction and the same interests is much more powerful than a group of scattered sand."

"Isn't this terrible!" Qiao stood up suddenly.

"Of course it's bad, but...even though it seems like a done deal, my intuition tells me," Iida leaned back and crossed his fingers to cross his chest.

"It's hard to say."

Chapter 262: Violating a Lawyer's Principles

It took Red a full thirty minutes to sort and pack the household waste in Hideichi Kitaoka's house, and another hour to restore Hideichi Kitaoka's house as clean as he remembered it, but the peculiar smell inside could not be dissipated at all.

Red had no choice but to open all the windows to allow air to circulate.

After finishing, Reid sat opposite Kitaoka Hideichi and picked up the tissue box on the table and threw it at Kitaoka Hideichi who had been silent the whole time.

The tissue box hit Kitaoka Hideichi's face with a bang and fell to the ground again.

No normal person would tolerate such a slap in the face, especially someone as proud as Kitaoka Hideichi. However, facing Reid's slap in the face, Kitaoka Hideichi just raised his head in confusion.

"How long are you going to keep this expression? Is what I say so hard to understand?" Red raised his fingers and tapped the table.

Kitaoka Hideichi raised his hands to cover his face, pulled them down hard, and then complained loudly.

"Do you know what you said? You told me that the time has been reset!"

"This is [S·L]. It's normal for a plague that could lead to human extinction to occur tomorrow and then be cured the day after tomorrow," Red shrugged. "Besides, I'm not trying to convince you that time has been reset. I'm trying to inform you that time has been reset."

"Don't make a fuss, Attorney Kitaoka."

Kitaoka Hideichi once again covered his face and let out a long breath before dropping his hand in self-abandonment. "That is to say, before the time was reset, I had an assistant, but he turned into a mirror beast in the previous timeline, and then all his existence was eliminated because of the time reset, right?"

"That's right. Your assistant, Yura Goro, didn't disappear. It's just that no one remembers him. With your observation skills, you should have noticed it." Red put his hands on his knees. "With your ability, it's impossible for you to clean this house in order."

"Well, without Yura Goro, this place has become a garbage dump."

Kitaoka Hideichi wanted to refute, but he couldn't find any favorable evidence, and the strange smell had not yet dissipated.

"Does the defense attorney have anything else to say?" Reid grinned.

Kitaoka Hideichi grumbled unwillingly and lowered his head, "I have nothing to say."

Reid leaned on the sofa with his arms folded across his chest, turned his head to look at the huge floor-to-ceiling window behind the desk, and said nothing.

The stench of perfume mixed with spoiled instant noodles was reduced a lot due to air circulation, but Kitaoka Hideichi's mood became heavier, as if there was a breath stuck in his chest that he couldn't feel relieved unless he got it out.

In the end, it was Hideichi Kitaoka who couldn't hold it in anymore and looked embarrassed.

"That Yura Goro..."

"You usually call him Goro-chan."

"Okay, are Goro-chan and I really that close?" Kitaoka Hideichi felt stupid after asking this question.

If he didn't trust him very much, he wouldn't have entrusted his life to Yura Goro.

Moreover, compared to Yura Goro, the name Goro-chan is indeed more catchy.

The moment he uttered this name, his whole body became as clear as a window opened.

"I... am a terrible person, right?" Kitaoka Shuichi leaned on the back of the sofa and looked towards the French window, "Otherwise, Goro-chan wouldn't have become a mirror beast."

"I just realized that Goro has become a mirror beast. I don't know what happened between you at the end of the previous timeline. I only know that..." Red paused and turned his head to look at Kitaoka Shuichi, "In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore and chose to speak."

"Ha... then I'm in a terrible situation," Kitaoka Shuichi said with a wry smile, "I heard that mirror beasts can attack people. When will Goro-chan come to seek revenge on me?"

After a brief silence, Red said slowly, "People who are corrupted by the mirror world and become mirror beasts will wander around in familiar places."

"That means, there's a good chance that Goro-chan is in that glass right now, right?" Kitaoka Hideichi let out a long breath.

The bloodthirsty mirror beast is right next to him and may take revenge on him at any time. Normally, he should be scared and want to move away immediately, but for some reason, he is very relaxed now, as if all the knots in his heart have been untied.

He even wanted to take a nap now.

"Lawyer Kitaoka, you can't go to sleep yet. I have something to ask you." Seeing that Kitaoka Hideichi's eyes were beginning to close, Reid immediately stood up and patted Kitaoka Hideichi's face.

"What's the matter? Since you helped me clean the house for Goro-chan, I can listen," Kitaoka Hideichi, who had regained his composure, raised his hand to block Reid's right hand and answered casually.

"Lawyer Kitaoka, did I ever tell you that you change your face very quickly?" Reid's mouth twitched and he sat back, crossing his fingers in front of him. "Right now, the Brain Group is studying the mirror world, and you are helping them, right?"

Kitaoka Hideichi raised his eyebrows, but he wasn't that surprised.

After all, he even accepted that time had been reset. Reid knew the secrets of the Intelligent Brain Group... Is it strange?

"What do you want me to do for you?" Kitaoka Hideichi asked lazily with his arms folded across his chest.

"simply put--"

Red pinched his chin, thought for a moment, and then smiled slightly.

"I hope you will violate the legal profession's code of conduct a little bit."

"You want me to betray Zhinao Group?" Kitaoka Hideichi understood what Reid meant and raised his eyebrows slightly. "Is this the content of your killing game?"

"what--"

"Don't make such a face, it's just a joke, just a joke," Kitaoka Hide got up and pulled his clothes, "I understand, I'll take this commission."

Reid raised his eyebrows, "You're not going to ask me why?"

Kitaoka Shuichi in the previous timeline was not so easy to talk to.

"Reasons? Ah~ As lawyers, we only care about what our clients want, no matter what their reasons are." Kitaoka Hideichi walked slowly to the mirror and began to fix his hair. "Besides, I know so many shameful things about the Zhinao Group. Either I can become Ophiino and become one of them completely, or I will become a corpse in the morgue."

"I think the probability of me becoming Orphino is very low, so what awaits me is most likely the morgue. Anyway, it's like this anyway, so I have to cause them some trouble."

After fixing his hairstyle, Kitaoka Shuichi nodded with satisfaction.

"You...are a little too insightful," Red couldn't help but complain, "You weren't like this in the previous timeline."

"In the previous timeline—" Kitaoka Hideya paused, then put his hands on his hips and smiled helplessly, "I didn't lose Goro-chan."

Chapter 263: No Knight Appeared Until Death

Red still remembers one sentence.

The more you study law, the more you lose your humanity. Lawyers not only lose their humanity, they also use this as an advantage.

The moment Red saw Kitaoka Hideichi's sunny and cheerful smile, he felt a chill. However, Kitaoka's subsequent actions did not "disappoint" Red. Kitaoka Hideichi first showed up and went to major newspapers. He did not do anything but drank tea there for twenty minutes and then left, leaving the reporters and editors confused.

Those reporters and editors had no idea what Kitaoka Hideichi was up to, but Red, who had been threatened by Kitaoka with photos, knew very well what Kitaoka was doing.

The influence of the Zhinao Group is spread throughout [S·L], and Kitaoka Hideichi is no small figure. Walking to the newspaper office so openly will inevitably attract the attention of certain people, such as the Zhinao Group, such as the Zhinao Group, such as... the Zhinao Group.

People who hold so much evidence against me suddenly start going to various newspapers. What does this mean?

After visiting another newspaper office, Kitaoka Hideichi leisurely sat in the passenger seat, fastened his seat belt, threw the editor-in-chief's business card to Red, put his hands behind his head, and yawned, "So [S·L] has so many newspaper offices? This is the first time I know."

"I say, are you sure this will work?" Reid put the business card into a storage box on the side, pulled the handbrake, turned on the turn signal, slowly drove Kitaoka Hideichi's beloved sports car out of the parking space, merged into the traffic, his eyes fixed on the front.

Mobile Pegasus was an exception. It was his first time driving such an expensive four-wheeled vehicle, so he was a little nervous.

"Of course it's useless. If the Zhinao Group is compared to the dark side of [S·L], then Servier Turia is the light side. The Mirror World incident is something that both the black and white sides have to do. No newspaper will report it, so I'm too lazy to waste my breath and just sit there," Kitaoka Hideichi spread his hands.

"Eh--"

"What's that expression on your face?" Kitaoka Hideichi said with a displeased tone, "The battle has just begun."

"Why do I feel like it's over?" Red complained, "Didn't they say that both the dark side and the light side of [S.L] want this to happen?"

"Ha - I told you, I've already said that the Zhinao Group is compared to the dark side. Do you think that the Zhinao Group alone is qualified to be called the dark side of [S·L]?" Kitaoka Hideichi couldn't help but raised his hand and knocked on Reid's head.

Before, he was a little afraid of Red, a Gurongi whose strength was comparable to Gamego's, but in just a dozen minutes, he began to wonder why he was frightened by Red and hid behind the sofa and trembled.

"Uh-ah~" After being hit by Hideichi Kitaoka, Red finally reacted.

Although the AI ​​Group is powerful, it is definitely not the most powerful monster organization in [S·L], let alone the dark side of [S·L].

"In fact, it's not just the Brain Group that has obtained the technology of the Mirror World. The Beast Gang, the Mafia, and a bunch of other terrorist organizations have also obtained the technology of the Mirror World. To put it simply, they are raising Gu." Kitaoka Hideichi crossed his arms and frowned slightly. "And the Brain Group... was raised by Selvi Turia. No, to be precise, it is a carefully selected Gu."

"Because the former president Hanagata is missing, Murakami Kyoer's promotion is not legitimate. Although Murakami Kyoer is indeed very resourceful, rough methods often leave huge disadvantages. The voices in society that oppose Ophiino and think that Ophiino should be a weirdo are getting louder and louder."
