Knight Asylum

"Hey! Wait a minute! I'm still driving!"

If it were an ordinary motorcycle, Qiao would definitely overturn if he did this, but this was Mobile Pegasus. The moment Qiao stood up and grabbed Red's neck, Mobile Pegasus locked the operating system and entered the automatic driving mode to avoid overturning, but it had no intention of stopping Qiao at all.

After returning to Selvi Tulia, although Qiao did not strangle Red's neck like before, she had no intention of revealing the matter. She stared at Red with a resentful look from beginning to end. Even Red felt a little numb on his scalp. He could only pray silently that Qiao would calm down soon and not be discovered by others.

"What's wrong with you? You look like a galgame player who chose the low EQ option, causing the heroine's favorability to plummet." Seleu saw the subtle atmosphere between Reid and Qiao at a glance, and spoke loudly without thinking too much.

Reid raised his hand, slapped his forehead hard, and let out a breath.

Unfortunately, Qiao looked at him with an even more resentful look.

Fortunately, there are many adults here, and few people would follow Seleucus in making trouble on this matter.

"So, what's the situation with the mechanical body?"

"Ah~ That mechanical body. Speaking of which, how is the analysis of that mechanical body going, Ember," Seleu suddenly realized and threw the question to Ember.

Embe, who had long been accustomed to Seryu's jumpy nerves, grinned, turned around, picked up a freshly printed paper report and handed it to Red.

"According to the current analysis results, the mechanical body is made up of some very common substances, mainly metals. However, probably because it absorbed too many impurities, the strength of the metal itself is not very high," Embe began to explain to prevent Red from not understanding.

"what……"

Red flipped through a few pages and raised his brow in confusion.

He could understand every word in the report, but when put together, he felt like it was some kind of indescribable heavenly book. After just a cursory glance at it, he felt like he was about to be dragged into a dream.

"From the appearance, this mechanical body is undoubtedly a machine, but according to the results of analysis, it seems to be... a living thing," Embe said slowly after hesitating for a moment.

"Living organism?" Reid perked up. "Is it some kind of mechanical life form?"

"At present, this is the judgment," Embe held his chin up, frowning, "It's not that there are no mechanical life forms in [S·L], but the mechanical life forms this time are very strange, just like..."

“It’s almost like that?”

Enbei's eyes flashed, he shook his head and shrugged his shoulders.

"A unique mechanical life form."

Red's mouth twitched, "It's really... a unique conclusion."

"Okay - everyone has their own expertise, and analysis is our job, so you should take a good rest first," Enbe raised his hand to hold Red's shoulder and turned Red around to face Qiao, who had a resentful look on his face.

"Don't you have some unfinished business?"

Chapter 286: Metzl Feels Invincible

Metzl sat in a chair, crossed her fingers and stared deeply at the TV in front of her.

That's right, she still retains the memories of the previous two timelines.

This time was different from the second timeline. She did not touch the Wind Card in Red's pocket, but realized that time had been reset based on the surrounding environment. Over the past few days, she also discovered that Red's situation was the same as hers.

Red is slow to react to many things and will ask about things that happened not long ago and he was involved in them.

However, for Metzl, none of this matters now.

That's right! For her, the only important thing in the world is just one thing! That is Red's progress in the strategy!

In order to avoid being exposed, she immediately contacted Mitsuo Hongo after realizing that the time had been reset but the situation was different from the last time, and described as detailed as possible the internal conditions of the single apartment arranged for her by the Hongshang Foundation in her previous timeline.

In the past few days, Metzl has been thinking about his strengths and weaknesses.

The early stage of the previous timeline was undoubtedly perfect, but such perfection came at a price. Red's situation at the time and the problems he faced meant that Red would not have that kind of thought. If she was too active in getting in front of Red, with Red's character he would not make any malicious speculations about her, but he would also keep his distance to avoid implicating her.

Of course, whether she likes it or not, time has been reset, and it is useless for her to praise the good things that happened before.

And now in this timeline... Although she still has an amnesia buff on her head, Red's situation is much easier than before. Without the crisis of the mirror world, the sponsors want to deal with Red, but there is nothing they can do.

She had also observed over the past few days that although Red was often sent out to solve problems, most of them were various crimes that were very common in [S·L], such as robbery. A mechanical attack like today's was rare.

This means that now is the best time to launch an offensive against Reid!

As for the amnesia buff on his head, with the guidance of the master in the previous timeline, Metzler also knew how to deal with it.

Can't we just do the reverse?

If you think about it carefully, doesn't her current state perfectly match the state of the target that the master mentioned?

Next, she just needs to go crazy and give it to him without any defense.

The point is that Red is the only light in her blank world, and it is Red who gives her a reason to live. As for Red's moral issues, it's no big deal, as long as she lives positively and hard without trying to gain sympathy, and then one day tells Red that she has actually recovered her memory a long time ago, and is very grateful to Red for being with her in the most difficult times, and hopes that things can continue.

This solves Red's moral problem.

What? What if Red doesn't like her enough to reach a romantic ending at that time?

There are so many opportunities, but she still hasn't figured out how to deal with it. She might as well not live anymore and find a way to crush her core coin.

After figuring it out, Metzl felt that he was invincible.

ORE Newspaper.

"Shinji! How's the data being sorted?"

"Already ready, Editor-in-Chief!"

"Shinji!"

"Editor-in-Chief, I've also finished the content of my interview and will send it to you right away!"

"Oh, oh! Shinji, you'll just..."

"I'll leave now!"

Before Okubo Daisuke finished speaking, Shirodo Shinji grabbed his backpack and ran out. The moment the door closed, Okubo Daisuke's computer beeped, indicating that the file had been received.

"Uh--be careful on the road," Okubo Daisuke waved his hand delicately at the door that squeaked shut. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and looked at Momoi Reiko and Shimada Nanako who were still there. "Have I been too harsh on Shinji recently?"

Although Shinji Shiroto is often late, he is definitely not lazy, so he only criticizes Shinji Shiroto verbally.

Shinji Shirodo worked hard... he was naturally happy, but now Shinji Shirodo was working too hard.

"Maybe, because, editor-in-chief, you criticize Shinji every day," Shimada Nanako said, adjusting her glasses. "But if it were me, I would definitely not work hard, but would just quit."

“Eh? Eh! Ah… I say, Nanako, you are not threatening me, are you?”

Okubo Daisuke felt a little guilty at first, but after thinking for a while, he felt more and more that something was wrong, and with a dark face he just looked at Shimada Nanako.

"Then I resign?"

"No, no, no, Nanako, just say it nicely," Okubo Daisuke wanted to be tough, but when he thought about the importance of Shimada Nanako to ORE newspaper, he immediately softened and rubbed his hands and began to persuade in a gentle voice.

Shimada Nanako rolled her eyes, continued typing on the keyboard and did not mention resigning again.

Okubo Daisuke's shoulders slumped, he let out a long breath and scratched the back of his head, "Should I give Shinji a day off?"

"Who knows... maybe, Shinji looks like he has a lot on his mind." As a frontline reporter, Momoi Reiko could tell at a glance that Shinji Shirodo was hiding something in his mind, but a few days ago Shinji Shirodo was as silly as usual, as if he suddenly had something on his mind.

"Ha - let's find a chance to have a good talk with Shinji."

Okubo Daisuke put his hands behind his head and sighed deeply.

"Speaking of which, Miss Lingzi, is there any big news recently? It would be best if it could reveal that Servier Turia is using his identity as a human rescue organization to conduct various terrible experiments."

"It's not that easy, but there have been some rumors recently."

"Okay! Let's investigate that direction!"

Listening to the voices of Daisuke Okubo, Reiko Momoi, and Nanako Shimada outside the door, Shinji Shirodo, who was leaning against the wall, breathed a long sigh of relief. After hesitating for a moment, he took out the knight card box from his pocket. There was a dragon-shaped mark on the surface of the card box.

Time was reset, but he still remembered what happened [before].

The secret collaboration between Selvi Turia and the AI ​​Corporation, the conspiracy of the mirror world, and everyone at the ORE newspaper who was killed by the AI ​​Corporation for exposing all this.

He was indeed happy that everyone in ORE was not dead, but he did not forget the future he witnessed.

Things in the mirror world are not over yet, and the knight card box in his hand is the best proof.

He must fight to find the truth.

Not just for everyone at ORE Newspaper, but also for those who died in the mirror world.

"I will never let the same thing happen to me again."

At the same time, in the Abnormal Human Research Center, Asakura Takeshi, who was trapped in a hospital bed with a straitjacket, opened his eyes. A man wearing a windbreaker and with eyes as emotionless as dead water appeared in front of him.

"Fight, fight for your own desires, your own wishes."

Chapter 287: Rusty Train

Servais command tower.

U sat sideways in the position of the supreme commander, holding his chin and scanning the results of Servier Turia's calculations.

Red was not talking nonsense. There were indeed people missing in [S·L], and the number was much greater than Red had expected. It could be completely defined as a large-scale containment incident. Even he was beginning to worry about how to deal with the reporters' questions at the press conference.

However, the cause of this disappearance, which could be defined as a large-scale containment incident, was the mirror world, whose research had reached a bottleneck several years ago and he no longer had any hope for. Moreover, even though so many people disappeared in a short period of time, the citizens of [S·L] did not care at all.

This was extremely unreasonable, so unreasonable that he had to consider the possibility that the incredible time that Red mentioned had been reset.

As Sherlock Holmes said, when you have eliminated all possibilities, the last option, no matter how incredible, must be the truth.

However, Kanzaki Shirou's ability to reset time is not the last incredible option. In [S·L], there are other options that can cause the phenomenon that time seems to have been reset, but those options are equally incredible.

Just as U was thinking, the alarm sounded. U raised his eyebrows slightly and raised his hand to answer the alarm.

[Discover the Zerg Hatching Area]

U frowned.

The destructive power of the alien insects is indeed not as exaggerated as that of other monsters, but if you leave insects alone, the trouble they will cause will be more difficult than simple and rough destruction. Most of the insects guarding the alien insect eggs are adults who have completed molting and can accelerate the process.

U immediately decided to send Reed to deal with the Zerg hatching area discovered this time, but before U could make a move, a communication channel was squeezed into the command tower.

"The Zerg hatching area discovered this time will be handled by ZECT."

The one who squeezed into their communication channel was none other than their sponsor, Ouroboros. ZECT was the general name for the containment forces under Ouroboros.

"Excuse me, the Zerg hatchery we found this time is quite large. It is predicted that there will be at least three adult Zerg. I don't doubt that ZECT has the ability to eliminate the Zerg, but if the number exceeds three, ZECT will not be able to deal with it."

"U, what you said makes sense, but this premise is... we haven't developed Kamen Rider yet."

U's eyes jumped violently. As the proposer of the Knight Project, he knew exactly what types of Kamen Riders the other sponsors were researching, including Ouroboros. It was precisely because of this that he knew that Ouroboros would not be able to develop the Knight system they envisioned in the short term.

U had considered that Ouroboros was just pretending to be a grandson, but now was the early stage of the Knight Plan. It was the most critical period to shock each other and make their competitors panic and make wrong moves. Regardless of whether they had any research results or not, they would first say that they had succeeded in the research, starting with a carrot weighing 20 kilograms.

Moreover, in order to prevent the other party's actual capabilities from surpassing their own, the funders have planted undercover agents 100%. Research is a gradual process, and it is impossible to skip all bottlenecks in one go and obtain the required research results. Once the funders find that the other party has signs of breaking through the bottleneck, they will definitely do something overtly or covertly.

But other funders have not taken any action in the past few days, which shows that Ouroboros is still safe in their eyes.

But now Ouroboros said that their Kamen Rider has achieved research and development results and can be put into actual combat, which surprised U a little.

"Do you know what the consequences will be if the operation fails?" U asked tentatively in a deep voice.

But Ouroboros's answer made U's heart sink.

"If this mission fails, Ouroboros will be fully responsible."

"I understand."

U ended the communication and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Ouroboros's Kamen Rider research was successful, and it has acquired the ability to fight against several adults.

U thought for a while and leaned over to answer Red's call. "Red, there's a place I want you to check on. You don't need to get too close."

"I understand."

After ending the communication, U crossed his fingers and looked ahead with deep eyes.

"Something's wrong."

How did Ouroboros complete the study in just a few days without alerting other funders?

You know, not long ago, Ouroboros was severely bled by Mitsuo Hongo because of the Gamego incident.

"It's as if... someone has brought the research results of the future to the present..."

U murmured subconsciously, and then felt puzzled by his incredible speculation.

U stood up and left the control tower, took the central elevator and arrived at the negative seventeenth floor.

The true identity of the Human Rescue Organization is hidden underground in Selvi Tulia. It is filled with objects that are enough to destroy the world, and each one is extremely special. The negative seventeenth floor only houses one object.

Humans hope that those objects that cannot be controlled and can only be contained will sleep forever, but they hope that the objects on the negative seventeenth floor will be revived. This is not a foolish desire, because he is also one of them.
