Knight Asylum

Just as Wright was yawning and wanted to leave work early, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded. Wright was startled and almost fell to the ground.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Who sounded the alarm?" Wright stood up with the help of the handrail and shouted angrily, "Tear it down! I'm in charge here! There's no time to sound the alarm!"

Wright thought he was awesome.

"That, that!"

A communicator stood up suddenly, turned his head and his teeth chattered.

"Yes, there is communication."

"Huh? Is this the reason for sounding the alarm?" Wright crossed his legs and raised his hand arrogantly, "Hang up, this is the highest command tower of Servier Tulia, not just anyone can communicate with us!"

"It's a communication from the Fang Ghost Clan! And it's... King's communication," the communicator used all his strength to say the terrible name with difficulty.

Wright froze in place, his legs stopped shaking, his shoulders stopped swaying, like a statue.

After a long while, Wright finally managed to squeeze out a sound.

"Who...who?"

"The King of the Fang Ghost Tribe!"

Wright's waist softened and he slid off the chair like a cartilaginous creature.

There are several taboos in this [S·L].

One of them is the King of Gurongi, En Daguba Jeba. Only true heroes or fools would call him by his name. Most people refer to him as Zero. No one knows how strong he is. All everyone knows is that he is called the Qualified One by Serviteur, who is feared by Serviteur. The ancient Ge Group, who is like the incarnation of natural disasters, has no one who has challenged this king so far.

The King of the Fang Demon Clan is no less terrifying than Zero. In the more than ten years since the birth of [S·L], King has destroyed a race of monsters every time he goes out. Unlike Zero who has no idea what he is thinking, King is very rational. He is even willing to communicate with humans as [food], and has agreed to many contracts that are only beneficial to humans.

One of them is that King will only actively kill three people every year, and will hand over the list to humans before the killing. Once the list is finalized, King will leave the territory of the Tooth Ghost Clan to hunt down the three people. During this period, humans can take any action, whether it is hiding the three people or setting up a trap, and the hunting time is only one day.

At first they were ecstatic because King actually accepted such conditions, thinking that King was just like that, but after that King made them realize what despair was.

It's not that they put a collar on King, but that they set a stage for King to show his absolute power. No matter where they hide people, King will always find them within a day. No matter how crazy the traps they prepare, King will flatten the place with one blow.

King's hunting targets are never unknown people, but always famous and great scientists who can advance human civilization. Every hunt by King means that the evolution of human civilization will be delayed by more than 50 years.

But there is one exception, that is U.

U's name was on every one of King's death lists, but U has survived until now.

Some people speculated that King and U had reached some agreement, while others said that U had hidden means.

Wright didn't really care before because he couldn't make King's list, but now it's different.

Wright rushed out of the command tower like a stray dog, and hurriedly took out his ring to transform. He jumped directly outside the confinement room through the ring of teleportation. He raised his fist and knocked heavily on the door of the confinement room, and opened the small window above to let light into this dim space.

"Hey! U! You can hear me, right? Tell me how you survived King's hunting! If you tell me the truth, I will move you to another confinement cell!"

"Hey——Did you offend King?"

A pair of eyes appeared silently at the window, and Wright was startled and took a few steps back.

"This is truly an unfortunate situation. No one can survive the King's hunting. If you are really scared, you can flee back to the Magic Kingdom now. However, no matter where you go, the King will chase you. I don't know if your miracles will work in front of the King."

"hateful!"

Light wanted to rush over and beat U up, but U had too many secrets, so many that the sponsors decided to violate the agreement and did not dare to let U disappear. They just imprisoned him here, so no matter how angry Light was, he could only hold it back.

He closed the window with force, and without looking back, Light used his ring to jump directly to the supreme meeting place and sounded the alarm. As the supreme commander of Serviteuria and the savior of mankind, he was theoretically above other sponsors in terms of authority. As long as he requested a meeting, other sponsors had to respond to him no matter what they were doing.

Soon, the stone tablets representing the sponsors lit up. Without waiting for all the sponsors to arrive, Wright explained the situation with gestures and finally shouted righteously with a clenched fist.

"We are Servi Turia, we are the saviors of mankind! How can we bow down to a weirdo? Right!"

"..."

The sponsors' stone tablets just lit up, and no one spoke.

A drop of cold sweat ran down Wright's forehead.

He had a strong feeling that his funders would be more willing to put him on King's death list to prevent the death of a great scientist than to confront King.

“Right!!!”

Wright's heart-wrenching shout broke the deathly silence.

"Ah? Ah, yes, yes—"

"Yes Yes."

"How can a human rescue organization bow down to a weirdo?"

Because Wright had shouted so hard, the sponsors felt it would be unreasonable not to respond.

"But - this is indeed a problem. Our plan does not necessarily require the Intelligent Brain Group," the Sage Tower spoke at this time, "The Tooth Ghost Tribe also meets our conditions, and the rewards we can get from the Tooth Ghost Tribe are far greater than those from the Intelligent Brain Group."

"and--"

Without waiting for the Sage Tower to finish, Enoch's young president spoke slowly.

"Intelligent Brain Group may not be willing to hand over the technology of resurrection surgery to us. The most they can do is provide quotas for resurrection surgery."

The young president's remarks were recognized by other sponsors.

Wright's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

In short, I have temporarily avoided being used as a scapegoat by my sponsors.

Chapter 270 I am trying to live

In the dim underground parking lot, a heavy explosion echoed, and sparks exploded through the bars of the knight's helmet, illuminating Akiyama Lian's eyes. The ink-like, resolute pupils reflected the pair of burning red eyes.

Can't win.

Qiu Shanlian gritted her teeth and thrust out the knight's spear in her hand with all her strength. The knight's spear, which could pierce the mirror beast with one strike, landed on Reid's chest without even leaving a mark.

"Give up," Reid raised his hand and shook off the knight's gun without launching an attack.

Through the battle just now, Reid had an accurate understanding of Akiyama Ren's strength. When attacking Sonoda Mari, Akiyama Ren could have easily eliminated Sonoda Mari before Kusaka Masato came to rescue her.

Combined with the fact that Akiyama Ren visited his unconscious girlfriend every day, Red had a vague guess about the reason why Akiyama Ren fought.

"Intelligent Brain Group will not fulfill your wish."

Akiyama Lian paused, growled, took a step back, took out an Advent Card from the card box and inserted it into the reader in the shape of a knight's sword.

"What do you understand!?"

【Trick Vent】

Akiyama Ren turned back, and three figures appeared in the twist. Four identical Akiyama Rens raised their knight spears at the same time and rushed towards Reid. Kitaoka Shuichi, who was watching the battle, raised his eyebrows in surprise. It was the first time he saw the Mirror Knight use the Advent Card.

Kitaoka Hideichi folded his hands across his chest and let out a long breath.

"Someone you know is facing death, and you need the resurrection surgery of the Zhinao Group to save that person's life."

The four figures paused at the same time and looked in the direction of Kitaoka Hideichi.

"Unfortunately, even if you complete the requirements of the Intelligent Brain Group, they will not use the resurrection surgery for you. You should think of other ways."

In order to prevent Akiyama Ren from asking again, "What do you know?", Kitaoka Hideichi raised his finger and emphasized.

"I have an incurable disease and want to avoid death through the resurrection surgery of the Zhinao Group, so I work for the Zhinao Group, but the result is that the Zhinao Group is ready to kill me. This time, you are here to kill me, aren't you?"

Akiyama Ren was speechless after being asked by Kitaoka Hideichi.

It was not known whether it was because the time limit was up or Akiyama Lian was shaken, but the three identical clones disappeared.

Just when Reid thought Akiyama Lian had given up, Akiyama Lian switched the Knight's Spear to her right hand, and reached into the card box with her left hand and pulled out an Advent Card.

"Even so, do you still want to choose such a battle?" Reid opened his right hand helplessly, ready to physically remove Akiyama Ren's Mirror Knight armor.

"This is my only choice!"

【Final Vent】

Qiu Shanlian took a few steps back, then suddenly ran forward and jumped up. The black cloak wrapped around Qiu Shanlian and formed a huge drill that smashed towards Reid.

"There is absolutely no way there can be only one choice."

Facing the huge drill, Reid turned his body and swung his fist. The moment his fist collided with the drill, the huge force instantly tore apart the dark cloak that wrapped Akiyama Ren. With a violent explosion, Akiyama Ren flew backwards and hit the wall heavily, and the Mirror Knight armor on his body was removed.

But Akiyama Ren did not fall down. Her hands hung on both sides of her body and she staggered towards Reid. Seeing this, Kitaoka Hideichi sighed helplessly, walked up to Reid, patted him on the shoulder, and stood in front of Akiyama Ren.

"So who is he to you?"

Qiu Shanlian kept a stern face and said nothing, obviously intending to remain aloof until the end.

"It's his girlfriend," Red, who was still in his Ultimate Kuuga state, poked his head out and said.

"Eh - girlfriend? I thought it would be family or something. You can do this for your girlfriend. You have been dating for a few years. You must be ready to get married," Kitaoka Hideichi asked curiously, holding his chin up.

Qiu Shanlian, who was a little annoyed by the question, raised her hand and waved it vigorously.

"You can kill or shave me as you please!"

"Hey, hey, hey, stop talking like I'm the bad guy, okay? I'm the victim, right, Reid?" Kitaoka Hideichi shrugged helplessly, took out a critical illness notice from his briefcase and put it in Akiyama Ren's hand.

"Besides, I am just reminding you now that the resurrection surgery is very complicated and you cannot control it."

"Although I don't know what your girlfriend's condition is, I probably only have two or three months to live. Believe me, I need a chance to live more than you do."

Qiu Shanlian subconsciously took the critical illness notice in her hand.

He was stunned by Hideichi Kitaoka's punches. Facing Reid, he could still shout "What do you know" to numb himself and continue fighting, but facing Hideichi Kitaoka who was much worse off than him, he really couldn't say a word.

"Well - if you think that if you kill me, the Zhinao Group will perform resurrection surgery on your girlfriend, then you can do it now. This distance shouldn't be too difficult for you," Kitaoka Hideichi opened his hands, looking quite calm.

After all this back and forth, Kitaoka Hideichi completely exhausted Akiyama Ren. She raised her hands several times but had to put them down powerlessly. Under the gaze of Reid and Kitaoka Hideichi, Akiyama Ren held her head, roared unwillingly, then turned around and rushed out.

Looking at Akiyama Ren's receding back, Kitaoka Hideichi put his hands on his hips and sighed helplessly.

“It’s really pitiful.”

"Lawyer Kitaoka, you're dying. You're much more pitiful than him, especially now that you're being targeted by the Zhinao Group," Reid complained.

"What are you talking about? This guy, as a living person, is trapped by a [ghost]," Kitaoka Hideichi shook his head and grinned, "He is like a criminal sentenced to life imprisonment. He will not be free for the rest of his life, and only endless torture awaits him."

"Lawyer Kitaoka, you seem to be... much more open-minded," Red hesitated and said tentatively, "It's almost as if... you don't want to live anymore."

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? How could I not want to live? Living a life that everyone envies is one of my goals."

Kitaoka Hideichi leisurely took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened his blog, and pointed to the terrifying number of likes and comments on the photo of him and Dorado in monster form as if to show off.

"The legendary lawyer who provided legal aid to Gurongi."

"Isn't that great? I plan to print this photo on my business card."

"Lawyer, don't you want to live?"

"What are you talking about? Am I not trying hard to survive now?" Kitaoka Hideichi closed his phone and smiled easily.

"It doesn't matter whether it's three months or two months. I will live well until the last moment of my life."

Chapter 271: Fear of the unknown, contempt of the known

ORE Newspaper.

The overly heavy atmosphere made the editor-in-chief Okubo Daisuke feel very uncomfortable and guilty. He wanted to speak several times but gave up in the end. Momoi Reiko, who couldn't bear it any longer, stood up, rolled up the newspaper and hit Okubo Daisuke on the head with it.

"Hey, you! How long are you going to keep that expression?!"

Daisuke Okubo held his head and hesitated to speak.

If it was Shimada Nanako who hit him on the head, he would still yell a few words, but the one who hit him was Momoi Reiko, the ace of ORE newspaper. Although Momoi Reiko was not the kind of person who would quit after being scolded by him, he didn't want to take the risk.

Seeing that Okubo Daisuke was too timid to say anything, Momoi Reiko sighed helplessly and looked at the empty seat not far away, "It's because of Shinji, right?"

Okubo Daisuke opened his mouth, wanting to deny it, but in the end he sighed helplessly and raised his hand to scratch his head, "What should I do?"

He is Shinji Shirodo's senior, and he knows Shinji Shirodo's character better than anyone else.

Why is Shinji Shiroto always late? Because Shinji Shiroto is really the kind of good guy who will immediately help people in need when he sees them on the road, so every time Shinji Shiroto is late, he is just saying it and has never really deducted Shinji Shiroto's salary.

In the past few days, Shinji Kido was always the first to arrive. After punching in, he ran out to find news. It can be said that he was quite hard-working and seemed to have forgotten about the things in the mirror world. However, Daisuke Okubo knew it better than anyone else. If he had forgotten, he would not be Shinji Kido anymore.

And he knew that Shinji Kido was definitely still investigating the Mirror World and the affairs of the Intelligent Brain Group, so he neither stopped him nor helped, he just watched.

Tao Jing Lingzi crossed her arms over her chest, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"A few days ago, Kitaoka Hideichi, who is in charge of the Zhinao Group, visited many newspapers. According to my investigation, Kitaoka Hideichi seemed to be providing some big news to those newspapers. However, Kitaoka Hideichi has not appeared near the Zhinao Group in the past few days. I don't need to tell you what this means."

Daisuke Okubo raised his hands to cover his face, rubbed it vigorously for several times, then lowered his head and cried and laughed, "Ms. Lingzi, are you sure you want to investigate?"

Momoi Reiko raised her hand and slammed it heavily on the table, staring into Okubo Daisuke's eyes.
