Knight Asylum

"Editor-in-Chief, have you forgotten why you founded the ORE newspaper in the first place?"

"If the human rescue organization Servier Turia is really hiding some shameful secret, then how many innocent people will die without knowing it, and no one will seek justice for them."

"We have to find the truth! We can't let Shinji fight alone!"

Okubo Daisuke clenched his fists and was about to speak, while Shimada Nanako, who was typing, raised her hand to adjust her glasses, "I say, editor-in-chief, you are not afraid, are you?"

"Who, who is scared! Just come on!" Okubo Daisuke's face flushed, and he stood up suddenly. Although he was irritated, Okubo Daisuke also knew that Shimada Nanako was giving him a way out, so he quickly calmed down after yelling.

"Don't tell Shinji about this for now, lest that guy gets too reckless. Miss Lingzi, have you received any news?"

Seeing that Okubo Daisuke had recovered, Momoi Reiko nodded, took out a notebook from her pocket and flipped through it, frowning, "Although there has been no major incidents during this period, many people have disappeared, including business owners, school teachers, traffic police, and even politicians."

"All the disappearances have one common feature, that is, there were no signs of struggle at the scene, nor any signs of a third party breaking in. This is completely consistent with the attack by the mirror beast announced by Selvi Turia."

Okubo Daisuke frowned.

"Because Servier Turia had already given them a heads-up and informed them that a solution was in place, completely transparent, and in no way comparable to the Gurongi killing game, the citizens of [S.L] accepted the disappearances."

Humans fear the unknown, yet treat known dangers with contempt.

Just like many people are instinctively afraid of deep-sea diving, or like walking zigzag on the street while playing with their mobile phones in their own living room.

This is the current situation in the Mirror World. Selvi Turia has made it clear how the disappearances occurred, what caused them, and who can solve them. It will not cause any large-scale chain damage, and there is a fairly large-scale containment force to take precautions. In the eyes of the citizens of [S·L], the danger level of the Mirror World has been reduced to the lowest.

And this is the most dangerous situation. No matter how many people die, others will not care and will just attribute it to bad luck.

Therefore, the solution is very clear, which is to make citizens realize that disappearances are not random, but purposeful. Everyone is in danger and naturally will not treat it perfunctorily.

"Ms. Lingzi, thank you for your help."

"give it to me."

Brain Group.

Murakami Kyoer crossed his arms over his chest and stood on tiptoe angrily. The people standing in front of the desk lowered their heads, not daring to look at Murakami Kyoer who was angry.

“It’s been several days!”

Murakami Gorge roared angrily.

"Why haven't I seen Kitaoka Shuichi's head yet? What do you guys do for a living?!"

No one dared to answer Murakami Gorge at this time, and of course, they were also mumbling in their hearts.

If you can do it, go ahead and do it. If you can still stand here and curse people after you do it, you are awesome.

Why were they able to stand here? Because they were hiding in the mirror world and didn't go up, and Orphino who went up to cut Kitaoka Shuichi was easily killed by Red.

Facing Murakami Gorge would only result in a few scoldings, but facing Red would really be a dead end, so they chose to be scolded here.

Although Takuma Itshiro leaned aside and was on the same front with Murakami Kyoer in expression, he was happily laughing at Murakami Kyoer in his heart. If conditions allowed, he really wanted to leap in front of Murakami Kyoer and admire Murakami Kyoer's unwilling face from a close distance, while laughing at Murakami Kyoer loudly and saying that he had always wanted to see Murakami Kyoer's unwilling expression.

Hmm, wait, it seems not, there is no chance...

Zhuoma Yilang was stunned and subconsciously looked at Murakami Kyoer. He raised his chin thoughtfully and then stepped forward and spoke.

"President, we can't rely on these guys at this point, let's do it ourselves."

The people who were being scolded were stunned and looked up at Zhuoma Yilang.

They knew better than anyone how strong Red was. Murakami Gorge was indeed very strong as Orphino, but in front of Red, he was just a soldier who looked a little cool. He should be slapped to death. Those who didn't believe this had already been slapped to death.

If Murakami Kyoji knew that Reid was with Kitaoka Hideichi, he would never agree with Takuma Itsuki's statement.

Murakami Gorge narrowed his eyes slightly, straightened up and sneered.

"you're right."

Well, Murakami Kyoer had no idea who was following Kitaoka Hideichi.

Several people looked at Takuma Itsuki with subtle expressions, but no one spoke.

After all, they had just been scolded severely.

Chapter 272 Are the two of you going to commit suicide for love?

In the cafe, Kitaoka Hideichi was leisurely drinking coffee and enjoying classical music. Inside the translucent glass, several figures were fighting.

"Ding--"

A crisp ring rang, and Kitaoka Hideichi looked down at the watch placed aside and muttered to himself.

"Well, it's almost time."

As soon as the words fell, the intertwined figures in the glass immediately separated, and several people walked away. Two figures, one brown and one pink, turned and walked towards Kitaoka Hideichi.

Ripples appeared on the glass, and Sano Mitsuru and Tezuka Umiyuki walked out.

"Ah - Lawyer Kitaoka, you are really popular," Sano Mitsuru said, swinging his arms up and down, pretending to be envious, "So many Mirror Knights came to see you, I can hardly handle the enthusiasm."

Kitaoka Hideichi knew that Sano Mitsuru was hinting that he deserved a raise because his workload was too heavy.

"Yeah, thank you for your hard work. I'll give you a bonus privately later." As an undefeated lawyer, although Kitaoka Hideichi is not a rich man in [S·L], he is also a standard wealthy man for ordinary people. As long as he is not too extravagant and arrogant, it is enough for him to live the rest of his life in peace and stability.

But now he has less than three months left to live. If he wants to spend all his life within three months, he will have to be arrogant and extravagant.

He didn't have much contact with Sano Mitsuru, but he could tell what kind of person Sano Mitsuru was at a glance. He had only one goal: money, and he was just worrying about how to spend all the money before he died.

"Oh - Lawyer Kitaoka, what are you talking about? I'm fighting hard to protect people like you," when he heard that Kitaoka Hideichi was going to give him a bonus, Sano Mitsuru smiled even more brightly.

Tezuka Umi looked at Sano Mitsuru helplessly.

Even without using divination, he could foresee Sano Mitsuru's future. He mentioned it more than once, but every time Sano Mitsuru listened attentively and then let it go in one ear and out the other.

"Oh, it's time to get off work now. I'll leave first, Mr. Kitaoka."

"Go ahead, don't worry about the bonus."

Sano Mitsuru walked away with a bright smile.

After Sano Mitsuru walked away, Tezuka Umi crossed his fingers and sighed helplessly, "Lawyer Kitaoka, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not."

"Mitsuru Sano is a person who cannot be trusted, right?" Kitaoka Hideichi took a sip of coffee with an extremely calm expression.

Tezuka Umi was silent for a while and then nodded.

"Don't worry about it. I've seen many people like this. Besides, this is not the important thing right now." Kitaoka Hideichi let out a long breath and looked at Tezuka Kaiyuki. "If you feel you can't hold on any longer, you don't have to grit your teeth and fight to the end. I'm going to die soon anyway, and I've done everything I can do. Now I'm just releasing some warm-up energy. With your ability, you can still help many people. There's no need to fight desperately for a pile of ashes."

Kitaoka Hideya paused and shrugged.

"Let me be clear in advance. I'm not trying to make you feel guilty so that you have to fight for protection. This is what I really think. Ah, sorry, I forgot that you are a psychic. You should be able to sense what I'm thinking."

Tezuka Umiyuki laughed and relaxed a lot.

"Lawyer Kitaoka, psychics are not omnipotent. I will protect you to the end. As for the reason... it's similar to yours."

Kitaoka Hideichi raised his eyebrows, "You also have an incurable disease?"

"It's even worse," Tezuka Umiyuki let out a long breath and smiled calmly, "I predicted the date of my own death, and it's not that far away."

"Eh - fortune-telling? How will you die?" Kitaoka Hideichi was a little surprised.

"Who knows? So I think, instead of waiting anxiously for the time of death, it is better to choose the way of my own death."

“That’s really cool.”

"Hey, hey, hey - how come I hear you guys talking about such a heavy topic right after I got here?" Red put his coffee on the table and complained, then reached out and patted Tezuka Umiyuki's shoulder, "I didn't ask you to come here to discuss suicide with lawyer Kitaoka. By the way, where is that kid Sano Mitsuru? He won't really get off work at the appointed time, will he?"

"The relationship between Sano Mitsuru and us is just an employment relationship. The contract states that he has to get off work at this time, and we have no right to stop him," Kitaoka Hideichi raised his fingers and shook them left and right.

"Lawyer Kitaoka, don't tell me you haven't fought a labor dispute lawsuit before," Reid rolled his eyes.

Generally speaking, Red would definitely stand on the side of the working class, but Mitsuru Sano was an exception. Mitsuru Sano was indeed capable, but he was far from honest. He did not ask Mitsuru Sano to destroy the Mirror Knight who attacked from the mirror world. He only asked Mitsuru Sano to delay time and force the opponent to retreat, or jump out of the mirror world directly.

This was not a difficult task for Sano Mitsuru, who had a group of antelope mirror beasts. The one who actually fought desperately was Tezuka Umiyuki, but Sano Mitsuru always exaggerated his work, demanded more benefits, and...

Sano Mitsuru has been intentionally or unintentionally concealing the actions of the Mirror Knight on Servais' side.

Obviously, Sano Mitsuru is collecting money from both sides. Once there is no more money to be made from them, or the pressure from Servius Turia is too great, Sano Mitsuru will immediately stab them in the back.

"My principle is to never take cases that will affect my reputation and chances of winning," Kitaoka Hideichi smiled smugly, "So, how is the situation on your side?"

Reid hesitated and sat down next to Tezuka Umiyuki, crossing his fingers, "There's news from Takuma Itsuki that Murakami Kyoji plans to take care of you himself."

"Eh - this is really surprising, doesn't he know you're here?" Kitaoka Hideichi raised his eyebrows, then suddenly realized, "You asked Takuma Itsuki to conceal your existence, and took the opportunity to kill Murakami Kyo, let Takuma Itsuki take the position, and take the opportunity to control the entire Zhinao Group. You are really mean."

Red was stunned, and after thinking for a while with his chin held high, he let out a long "ah".

"I see, there is such a saying."

"Uh-huh--"

"You guy, ha... Forget it, do you need me to help you prepare a contract to transfer all the things in Murakami Kyo'er's hands to Takuma Itsuki?" Kitaoka Shuichi held his chin and complained, "I've done it once before."

"If, you don't have anything else to do," Reid shrugged.

"You're really leisurely, so? What's your real goal?" Kitaoka Hideichi leaned back, crossed his arms over his chest, glanced at Tezuka Umiyuki, and asked, "Time reset, is there a solution?"

"If we can't get over the reset time, no matter how well we prepare or how smoothly we go, it will be meaningless."

Red crossed his arms across his chest, was silent for a moment, then grinned.

"I will fight with all my strength."

Chapter 273 What kind of research institute is this?

Spica, Kagawa Hideyuki Research Institute.

Kagawa Hideyuki, who should have been concentrating on studying the changes in the mirror world's data in order to locate the position of the mirror world cultivated by Kanzaki Shirou, was standing in front of the door with a look of pain on his face.

"What kind of research institute is this?"

"Red hasn't been home for several days since he entered your institute!"

"He is still young! He has a bright future!"

In front of the door, Metzl put his hands on his hips and yelled angrily.

Hideyuki Kagawa opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Metzler's tone was too much like that of Red's biological mother. If Red's biological mother came, he would of course be helpless and embarrassed. Although it was Red who found him, he also needed Red. It is no exaggeration to say that without Red, the plan he made now would be just a pipe dream.

Red is strong, but being strong doesn't mean there is no danger.

Putting other people's children in danger was a fact, and he had nothing to say.

But Mazel doesn't look like Red's biological mother at all, but the tone of her voice...she is undoubtedly his biological mother.

After hesitating for a long time, Hideyuki Kagawa tentatively asked.

"Excuse me, are you Red's...parent?"

The corner of Metzger's mouth twitched fiercely.

Damn it, she doesn't even look like Rhett's parent.

"No, I'm living with Red," Mazel said through gritted teeth after taking a deep breath, "It should be like this."

Kagawa Eiyuki was stunned for a moment before he realized, "Are you Red's girlfriend?"

Mazel blinked and raised her hand to toss her hair. "What do you think?"

It wasn't her who said that, it was Kagawa Hideyuki who said that, and she didn't admit it either.

Metzl's question was no different from an admission in Kagawa's eyes, so Kagawa lowered his voice and said, "I'm sorry, but I need Reid."

Mazel blinked and slowly tilted her head.

Of course she knew what Red was busy with, and she didn't want to disturb Red. The reason she came to knock on Kagawa Hideyuki's door was purely because she was seriously lacking in Red Elements. She wanted to get Red's actions from Kagawa Hideyuki and take a look at Red from a distance. Of course, with her greedy personality, there was a great possibility that she would not be able to hold back and deliberately have an unexpected encounter.

But now, she smelled something wrong.

"Is Red important to you?"

Hideyuki Kagawa was stunned. He had been busy calculating those terrifying data these days, and his brain had been running at high load. Coupled with his photographic memory, he was still thinking about the mirror world even now. So when faced with Metzler's question, Hideyuki Kagawa answered without thinking too much.

"More than anything else."

Metzl took a breath. Kagawa Hideyuki's sincere voice, without a trace of falsehood, forced her to take a few steps back.

Hideyuki Kagawa was serious, and although he was very unwilling, the feelings he expressed towards Reid in his words were no less than hers, even to the extent that she felt threatened.

Do we still have to be on guard against old men? ! !

"You, you will not be blessed by society!"
