Knight Asylum

"Kitaoka Hideichi, why don't you run away?"

Murakami Kyoer stopped and sneered with his hands behind his back. The painful expression of Kitaoka Shuichi made him feel comfortable. It was just to see such an expression that he had been torturing Kitaoka Shuichi slowly.

"Kitaoka Shuichi, I have good news for you. I have decided to perform a resurrection operation on you. Are you happy?"

"Ha - ha - so? What's the price?" It was rare that Murakami Kyoer stopped attacking. Kitaoka Shuichi sat up with the help of the wall, raised his hand to smooth his sweat-soaked hair, and waved his hand in a nonchalant manner.

"Price? There is no price, but..." Murakami Xiaer raised the corners of his mouth and revealed an extremely cruel smile, "I will only let your head come back to life, and I will let you live forever. Are you moved?"

"Thank you very much, but I refuse."

"Do you think you have the right to refuse?"

Murakami Kyoer stretched out his hand ferociously and was about to strangle Kitaoka Shuichi's neck, but before that, a hand reached out from the side and pulled Kitaoka Shuichi up.

Murakami Kyo'er was stunned and his expression became more ferocious. He turned his head and saw the brown mirror knight pushing Kitaoka Shuichi into the mirror world.

"Do you think hiding in the mirror world will help?"

Murakami Kyoji sneered. He had long anticipated that Kitaoka Hideichi would have the help of the Mirror World, so he asked the Mirror Knights of the Intelligent Brain Group to follow him early on. Therefore, their entry into the Mirror World was just a trap for themselves.

"Hmph - what a shame to lose a nice specimen."

Murakami Kyoer sneered and was about to leave when the cell phone in his pocket started ringing wildly. Murakami Kyoer wanted to hang up directly, but when he saw the number, his face tightened. He was obviously the head of a company, but it was as if he had received a call from his boss.

As soon as the call was connected, a man's voice came out directly. Just by listening to the voice, Murakami Gorge could imagine the other party's furious voice.

"What do you do for a living? Didn't you say you could solve the problem?!"

Murakami Gorge's brows jumped violently. After all, he was the president of Zhinao Group and had a temper, but... the other party was not only the supreme commander of Serviera Turia, but also a member of the Tower of Sages. For the future of Orphino, he had to control his temper no matter how bad it was.

"What are you talking about? I've already dealt with Kitaoka Shuichi."

"Solve your ass! Just read the news yourself! That ORE newspaper has already published everything! I will try to clear as much content as possible, but you have to figure out a solution for the ORE newspaper!"

After yelling at the other party, he hung up the phone.

"ORE Newspaper?"

Murakami Gorge was confused by the name of a newspaper he had never heard of, but he still searched it on the Internet first, and a report with familiar content came into his eyes.

The veins on Murakami Kyo'er's forehead bulged.

Chapter 280: Is this considered a hero?

Shinji Shirodo stood on the sidewalk holding a camera in his hand and looking up at the sky. He didn't know how many times the green light on the opposite side had turned on, but he never took a step forward.

"what……"

Shinji Shirodo touched his hair, took out his cell phone from his pocket and opened the new blog he had just registered, which displayed his recent photos. Being a tongue-tied person, he racked his brains to hint the truth to others.

The Zhinao Group is very powerful. He is not afraid of people from the Zhinao Group coming after him, but he is afraid of implicating other people in the ORE newspaper, so he can only use this extremely inefficient method to do it secretly. But in reality, the effect is really poor, with almost no readers and few comments.

After being a little frustrated, Shinji Shiroto slapped his face hard, and under the surprised and subtle gazes of others, Shinji Shiroto opened his hands and shouted.

"Well—this is the last of the frustration!"

After shouting, Shinji Shirodo felt that all the depression in his heart was swept away. It happened that the green light on the opposite side had only a few seconds left. Just when Shinji Shirodo stretched his body and prepared to cross the road, he heard the conversation of passers-by who were also waiting for the red light.

"Have you read the report?"

"That newspaper about the Zhinao Group? Of course I saw it. Although it was quickly removed by the authorities, the people who published those reports are quite capable and are still publishing various reports about the Zhinao Group."

The moment he heard the word Intelligent Brain Group, Shinji Shirodo pricked up his ears.

"Speaking of which, it's really terrifying. How can this Ophiino still be considered a human being?"

"That's right, but what was the name of that newspaper? I didn't expect that they could actually dig up all those things."

"ORE newspaper, O——R——E, remember, they are absolutely——what the hell are you doing!"

Shinji Shiroto, who subconsciously grabbed the other person, immediately let go, grabbed the back of his head and smiled awkwardly, a little incoherent, "I'm sorry, um, are you sure it's ORE Newspaper? That is, it published a report about the Zhinao Group..."

"Of course it's ORE newspaper. You can find out by searching it online," the passerby waved his hand impatiently, as if Shinji Shirodo had asked a very boring question.

"Oh, sorry, thank you—"

Shinji Shirodo bent over awkwardly and fiddled with his mobile phone. Many websites related to ORE newspaper all showed that they could not be logged in. But just like what those passers-by said, the person who sent the reports was very skilled and could always send reports from unexpected places. It was obvious that this was Nanako Shimada's method.

The name of ORE newspaper was marked at the end of the report containing the bloody evidence.

"senior--"

Shinji Shirodo's eyes lit up and he was about to rush forward when a car sped past, accompanied by shouts of "Don't worry about your life!"

Only then did Shinji Shirodo realize that the light had turned red again. He could only jump around anxiously on the spot, waiting for time to pass.

"Chong-"

The golden sabers wrapped in fire and wind crossed and fell, forming a huge X. Wherever the impact passed, the walls shattered and the floor was lifted up like waves. The Decider did not choose to resist but punched a hole in the floor before the impact came, and jumped up, but grabbed the floor before falling, and jumped up with force at the moment of the impact.

Hideyuki Kagawa turned his head and looked behind him.

The white wall was completely peeled off to reveal the dark wall, and the neat floor was covered with cracks, as if it would collapse at any time, but outside the mirror, everything was in order and extremely peaceful.

Kagawa Hideyuki's shoulders slumped slightly, and he sighed, "Kanzaki Shirou, you really are a genius."

In terms of research on the mirror world, what he is most proud of is the Chooser System he is using now. Its duration is shorter than that of an ordinary Mirror Knight, but its relative performance is much higher than that of a normal Mirror Knight. However, after several battles with Odin, he has become a little depressed.

Kanzaki Shirou's Odin is too powerful to be the Mirror Knight.

But this made him even more curious.

"Shirou Kanzaki, with such a powerful force, is there anything you can't do? You... can become the patron saint of mankind and the hero who saves mankind."

Kanzaki Shirou paused while reading the card.

"Is there anything you can't do? Are you a hero who can save humanity? Teacher, look at this world. This is a hospital, but we are fighting recklessly and destroying the hospital at will. Teacher, is this what a hero who can save humanity should do?"

"Because this is the mirror world, it doesn't matter, right? If the destruction in the mirror world affects reality, teacher...how many people do you think will die now?"

Under the mask, Hideyuki Kagawa's eyes widened slightly. Now, he was standing in a ward. All the equipment inside was destroyed by their fight. In order to avoid Kanzaki Shirou's attack, everything within his sight was used as a cover. Sometimes, in order to block Kanzaki Shirou's attack and find an opportunity to counterattack, he pulled out the oxygen tank and smashed it at Kanzaki Shirou.

If, this is not the mirror world, if... the destruction in the mirror world will affect the reality, and many people have already died.

"Even so, there is no way, right? There must be sacrifice in this world, teacher. This is the reality you have summed up, isn't it?" Odin forcefully stuffed the Advent Card into the tin card reader.

【Steal Vent】

Kagawa Hideyuki's right hand was empty, and the ferocious bone dagger dissipated in the overlapping afterimages and appeared in Odin's hand.

"Shirou Kanzaki...you, could it be..." Hideyuki Kagawa looked at Odin in front of him with an incredible look on his face.

"Could it be that there is some huge crisis in the future that you can't solve even with such powerful power, so you keep resetting time and hoarding power!?"

Hideyuki Kagawa felt that he had found the answer, and the more he thought about it, the more it seemed reasonable.

He can move and stay at will in the infinite layers of the mirror world, and can even reset time, but he does not use this power to save the world, save other people, or even spread the core technology of the mirror world and increase the number of mirror beasts.

All this is because there will be more terrifying enemies in the future. Odin's power alone is not enough, or it cannot save more people. More power from the Mirror Knights is needed. That's why Kanzaki Shirou let him know the existence of the Mirror World. Spreading the Mirror World technology to those terrorist organizations is also to let those people abuse the power of the Mirror World, be corroded into Mirror Beasts, and become the power to save more people.

Even if innocent people were harmed, Kanzaki Shirou could solve the problem by resetting time.

Minimal sacrifice for great hope.

"Teacher, in your eyes, am I such a person? Is this... also considered a hero?"

The golden saber fell again. Without the bone dagger, Kagawa Hideyuki had no time to dodge and was hit. Dazzling sparks splashed out from the Chooser's armor like gushing blood.

"Teacher, if it's your words..."

Red's back appeared in Kanzaki Shirou's mind.

He was the only one who touched the real him among the infinite layers.

"You can't beat me."

Chapter 281 I don’t like your messy fighting style

"Ah——Mr. Kitaoka, it was a close call just now."

Sano Mitsuru, who was wearing the Mirror Knight armor, raised his hand and wiped his forehead.

“Hah – Sano Mitsuru? It was a close call, but…”

Kitaoka Hideichi straightened his clothes and glanced around. Several Mirror Knights walked out from the corner and surrounded him.

"Do you feel safe now? Well - I really want to complain, but, Sano Mitsuru, is there anyone who offers a higher price than me?"

Kitaoka Hideichi put his hands behind his back. The death that he feared the most was approaching, but he was not panicked at all. He was even very relieved.

"I'm sorry, Lawyer Kitaoka, the price he offered is really too high..." Sano Mitsuru clasped his hands together, bowed and apologized insincerely, then waved vigorously at the Mirror Knight of the Intelligent Brain Group who was approaching them.

"Brothers, I am not your enemy. I am here to kill Kitaoka Shuichi. Now he is in the mirror world, he is dead. Do whatever you want—"

After saying that, Sano Mitsuru ran away without looking back.

Kitaoka Hideichi raised his eyebrows slightly.

It seems that Sano Mitsuru and the Zhinao Group are not in the same group, and there are others who want to kill him. No, it’s not just his life.

Even if time is reset for those who have been eroded by the mirror world, they can only wander around in the mirror world as irrational mirror beasts.

Who wouldn't want him to enter the next timeline.

But he appeared safely in this timeline, which means that one of his actions in this timeline threatened someone's core interests. In order to prevent Red from contacting him again in the next timeline, he wanted to get rid of him while Red was dealing with the mirror world.

Apart from the Zhinao Group, there is only Selvi Turia left, or rather some people from Selvi Turia.

"Ha - forget it, don't think too much about it," Kitaoka Hideichi raised his hand and patted his forehead, then let out a breath.

Anyway, he is now in the mirror world, and even if he deduces the answer, he has no way to bring it to Red.

"You look very relaxed."

The Mirror Knight of the Intelligent Brain Group grabbed Hideichi Kitaoka's face, and the steel mask moved in front of Hideichi Kitaoka.

"You don't think you can survive us."

"How could that be - could you please be a little gentler? I quite like this dress."

Kitaoka Hideichi raised his hand and knocked on the visor of the Mirror Knight in front of him. This arrogant behavior angered the Mirror Knights present. The Mirror Knight who grabbed Kitaoka Hideichi's collar slapped Kitaoka Hideichi in the face, knocking Kitaoka to the ground. The other Mirror Knights immediately surrounded him and kicked Kitaoka Hideichi hard.

Of course, if they wanted to, they could kill Kitaoka Hideichi with one kick, but they were not satisfied with that. They had been displeased with Kitaoka Hideichi for a long time, and this was a rare opportunity to humiliate Kitaoka Hideichi, so naturally they would humiliate him to death.

That's it -

Hideichi Kitaoka held his head, gritted his teeth and endured the pain, waiting for his destined death. Just when Hideichi Kitaoka was becoming conscious, a very familiar, yet somehow extremely strange, call rang in his ears.

【teacher--】

"Goro...chan?"

With a heavy roar, the metal mechanical bull crashed through the wall and rushed towards the Mirror Knights. At the same time, all the magazines on its body opened, and lasers and missiles were swept out in an extremely unscientific manner. The Mirror Knights who had no time to react were blown away on the spot.

"What is this?! A mirror beast? How could a mirror beast look like this?!"

The Mirror Knights stood up with difficulty, and shouted in disbelief at the giant mechanical bull standing in front of Kitaoka Hideichi.

Mirror beasts are the product of humans being corrupted by the mirror world, losing all rationality and their true inner selves. Therefore, all mirror beasts are hideous-looking beasts that act according to their desires.

The mirror beast in front of him is not only a mechanical body, but it is also protecting Hideichi Kitaoka.

"Goro...chan?"

Kitaoka Hideichi raised his head with difficulty. In his vision which was blurred due to his serious illness, a tall figure was standing in front of him.

"What?... You're not going to complain to me now that it's become like this?"

Kitaoka Shuichi stood up on his knees, reached into his pocket with his right hand and took out the knight card box.

This was something that Hideyuki Kagawa gave him when he helped him with the lawsuit. It was also the [weapon] that caused Goro Yura to be corroded by the Mirror World and turned into a Mirror Beast in the previous timeline. He has been carrying it with him but has not had the courage to use it.

Kitaoka Hideichi raised his hand and pointed the knight card box at the mirror not far away, and the knight belt flipped out and buckled around his waist.

Seeing Kitaoka Shuichi preparing to transform, the other Mirror Knights wanted to step forward to stop him, but before they could get close, they were suppressed by the Metal Bull's terrifying firepower.

Kitaoka Shuichi slid the Knight Card Box into his belt incredibly quickly, and the afterimage flipped out. The metal mask covered Kitaoka Shuichi's face, and the pattern of the Iron Bull emerged in the center of the belt, and the black and gray body was gradually dyed with color.

"Goro-chan - you really are stubborn enough, okay, okay -"

Kitaoka Hideichi wiped a card from the card box with his right hand, put the card into the gun-shaped card reader, and slowly stood behind the giant metal bull and put the muzzle of the gun into the card slot on the back of the giant bull.

【Final Vent】

The expressions of the Mirror Knights of the Intelligent Computer Group, who were already familiar with the Advent Card battle, changed, and they took out Advent Cards from the card boxes one after another. The final Advent was equivalent to the ultimate move launched by the Mirror Knight and the Mirror Beast together, usually the Knight Kick. In other words, as long as they did not line up in a long queue, they would not be wiped out.

As long as Hideichi Kitaoka dared to kick over, they would tear Hideichi Kitaoka into pieces the moment he kicked one of them to death.
