Knight Asylum

"Have you... used this Gaia memory?"

"If you want to use Gaia Memory, you have to undergo implantation surgery. My intuition tells me that this surgery is terrible, but -" Tezuka Umi shrugged and then his face straightened, "As long as I carry this Gaia Memory, my divination ability will be enhanced."

"More detailed text prompts, more detailed images, and even... solutions."

Reid's eyes fell back on the Gaia memory in his hand, his brows furrowed, "Is there really such a good thing in this world?"

"Impossible, all the gifts have already been priced," the fortune teller Tezuka Umiyuki asserted bluntly.

"Really? Then how are you going to solve this Gaia memory?"

Although Red really wanted to crush the Gaia memory directly, it was Tezuka Umiyuki's thing after all, and Tezuka Umiyuki showed no signs of using this Gaia memory, so everything depended on Tezuka Umiyuki's intention.

"I... want to keep this Gaia Memory," Tezuka Umiyuki sighed after hesitating for a moment, "The fact that this Gaia Memory is not on the sales list is a problem in itself. Since the museum created this Gaia Memory, they must know where it is going. If it is destroyed, it might alert the enemy."

"As long as this Gaia memory is still in my hands, people from the museum will contact me sooner or later, and that will be able to help you."

Reid took a look at the Gaia memory in his hand, sighed helplessly, and handed the Gaia memory back.

"Although I have a feeling that you will not destroy this Gaia memory, please don't push yourself too hard."

Tezuka Umiyuki smiled awkwardly, and the moment he stretched out his right hand and touched the memory of the Tarot card Gaia, a gust of wind blew. Tezuka Umiyuki raised his hand subconsciously, and the Tarot cards in his pocket fell to the ground with a clatter. Some were facing up, and some were facing up. Each Tarot card pointed in a different direction.

The moment he looked at the tarot cards, Tezuka Umi's pupils shrank, he saw it.

The surging waves, the blooming huge glaciers, and the terrifying figure standing on it, as tall and burly as a Titan in mythology.

What it is?

As if noticing his presence, the figure gradually turned its head, and countless cracks spread.

The world is breaking apart.

Are you kidding me? This is just a scene he predicted! What on earth is this!

"what happened?"

Tezuka Umi raised his head with difficulty.

Those terrifying red eyes gradually overlapped with Red's eyes in front of him.

Chapter 312: What about the promise of being able to adapt to circumstances?

"what happened?"

Reid bent down, sorted out the scattered Tarot cards on the ground and handed the Tarot's Gaia memory to Tezuka Umiyuki.

"No - nothing," Tezuka Umi shook his head vigorously, took the Tarot cards and Tarot's Gaia memory handed over by Reid, his eyes flickering.

Even if Tarot's Gaia memory has not been activated, this Gaia memory has had a certain impact on him. The scene just now is definitely from a certain time in the future.

And that terrifying figure was Red.

What does this mean?

Was it a false picture that Gaia's memory deliberately provided to him in order to avoid being shattered by Red one day, or was it... his survival instinct that triggered his own predictive ability?

do not know.

Red looked Tezuka Umi up and down, frowning, "Are you sure you're okay? It's better to lock up the Gaia memory just to be on the safe side."

"Well, don't worry, I'll lock it up when we get back," Tezuka Umiyuki took a deep breath and crossed his arms over his chest, "So, what are you going to do now?"

"Regarding this matter……"

After returning to the topic, Red began to feel overwhelmed.

The appearance of Tezuka Umiyuki verified Ming Hai's speculation. The Mirror World is part of the museum's research on Gaia Memory. Gaia Memory that is not on the sales list appeared around Tezuka Umiyuki. So it is very likely that other Mirror Knights also have non-sale Gaia Memory similar to the Gaia Memory on the Tarot Cards.

"Wait for me to report the situation."

Red scratched the back of his head and sent a text message to Ming Hai and U.

U responded quickly.

【Adapt to changing circumstances】

Reid grinned helplessly.

Does this count as trusting his abilities?

But based on Red's understanding of U, U probably has other ideas.

Ming Hai hesitated for a while before giving him a reply, which was similar to U's reply, both letting him make his own decision.

Red was not surprised at the result. U and Ming Hai both accepted the statement that his time was reset, but that didn't mean they completely believed it. After all, it was too unbelievable. If it were him, he would not believe it either.

"Decide for yourself?" Reid put the phone back into his pocket, let out a long breath, and glanced at Tezuka Umiyuki.

He knew about Tezuka Umiyuki's divination ability.

He was able to be found twice in a row, but even if pie falls from the sky, there is a chance that he will be hit on the head by the pie. The pie will most likely be dirty if it falls to the ground. How can the ability to predict the future not come at any cost? The option of Tezuka Umiyuki directly predicting the result is very tempting, but the Gaia memory of the Tarot card appears near Tezuka Umiyuki, and the prophecy itself may become a trap.

"I know someone who might be the Mirror Knight," Red thought for a while and decided to start with the Mirror Knight first.

Ming Hai said that Gaia's memory would penetrate into the holes in people's hearts. The heavy files in his hands were the holes created by the mirror world, but now these holes were all covered by the mirror.

"Kitaoka...Shuiichi?" Tezuka Umiyuki said slowly after thinking for a while.

"Did you predict this?" Red coughed, looking helpless. "Didn't you say that there is a price to pay for predicting the future?"

Tezuka Umi scratched his face, feeling a little embarrassed. "I'm not sure if I can make you believe me, so I did some divination on how to make you believe what I said."

"Is the name Kitaoka Shuichi the result? Your prediction is really powerful. You'd better not use it in the future." Red turned around and raised his hand to wave, "Then let's go visit Lawyer Kitaoka first. I don't know why I have a strong feeling that he will get Gaia's memory."

"Hahaha - that's true," Tezuka Umiyuki smiled and followed Red's hand, his left hand clenching the pocket that contained Gaia's memory.

Because he had been to Kitaoka Hide's house several times, Red did not open the map navigation this time and arrived at the door of Kitaoka Hide's house with ease.

As Red expected, the door of Kitaoka Hide's family was very clean, not at all dirty and messy as in the previous timeline. This surprised Red very much, because Yura Goro had been corrupted by the mirror world and turned into a mirror beast, and no longer existed in reality, and Kitaoka Hideichi was a useless person. Logically, Kitaoka Hide's family should have been buried in garbage at this time.

Because you couldn't stand it anymore, so you hired someone to clean it up?

In the previous timeline, Kitaoka Hideichi would rather walk around in the garbage dump than do that. Moreover, in the previous timeline, he personally cleaned the house for Kitaoka Hide's family, but the stench that seemed to have penetrated deep into the bone marrow of this house could not be eliminated by just cleaning it out.

Just as Red was about to knock on the door, Tezuka Umiyuki suddenly pulled Red behind the wall and said, "Kitaoka Hideichi has a guest."

Reid was startled, pushed back, and carefully stuck his head out. A sports car stopped in front of Kitaoka Hide's house. A capable woman with a ponytail and men's clothes pushed the door open carrying a box with the logo of Zhinao Group on it.

"Intelligent Brain Group?" Reid thought for a while and then grinned.

In fact, whether in the first timeline or the second timeline, Hideichi Kitaoka has cooperated with the Intelligent Brain Group. He doesn't know what happened in the first timeline, but the ending of Goro Yura being eroded by the mirror world is not a good sign. In the second timeline, it was because he explained Goro Yura's existence to Hideichi Kitaoka that Hideichi Kitaoka decided to go against the Intelligent Brain Group.

After observing and waiting outside for twenty minutes, the capable woman pushed the door open carrying a box. There was a little stiffness on her capable and confident face. It was obvious that this conversation was not going well. Soon, Kitaoka Hideichi also appeared at the door, smiling and waving goodbye to the woman.

Red held his chin up and raised his brows slightly.

He knew the working style of Zhinao Group. Kitaoka Hideichi knew too many things he shouldn't know. If the talks failed, Kitaoka Hideichi would not have the chance to come out and say goodbye with such a happy smile.

Most likely, Hideichi Kitaoka proposed some conditions that made Zhinao Group feel awkward, but not impossible to meet.

After the woman's car drove away, Reid and Umiyuki Tezuka immediately knocked on the door. After a while, Kitaoka Hideichi pushed the door open, looked Tezuka Umiyuki and Reid up and down, and his expression immediately became lazy.

"What's matter?"

Yes, it was that Kitaoka Shuichi——

While complaining, Red tilted his head. Kitaoka Hide's house was quiet and there was no one else.

"Hello, Mr. Kitaoka Shuichi. This is my business card," Tezuka Umiyuki coughed, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Kitaoka Shuichi, "I have something I want to entrust you with."

Kitaoka Hideichi raised his eyebrows, took the business card, glanced at the content on it, and then his eyes widened.

"Ah - you are the famous fortune teller!?"

"If there's no one else, it would probably be me," Tezuka Umi smiled modestly.

"Nice to meet you!"

Red, who was thinking about how to deal with the old fox Kitaoka Shuichi, was stunned. In his wide eyes, he saw the clasped hands of Tezuka Umiyuki and Kitaoka Shuichi.

Chapter 313: See what's in the gourd

"Ah - I didn't expect Mr. Tezuka to ask me for a favor. I've been watching your fortune-telling show since I was a kid."

"Well - I've only been on the show a few times."

"Really? Ah~ I remember now. I've always been curious about why you don't participate in various variety shows. I heard that many directors are inviting you."

"Divination is not my job."

"Hey——that's a really great idea."

Kitaoka Shuichi and Tezuka Umi were chatting with each other, and the atmosphere was so harmonious that it seemed like they were friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, or like... a continuation of the previous timeline.

Red, who was sitting between the two, felt a little annoyed. He didn't think that Hideichi Kitaoka and Umiyuki Tezuka had obtained the memories of the previous timeline. This was more like a slick social interaction between two adults, testing each other and setting traps for each other. He couldn't participate at all and could only continue to observe Hideichi Kitaoka's house.

There were signs of cleaning, but... it was very sloppy, and many corners were not cleaned, but you could still see the other party's serious attitude.

Reid raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Kitaoka Shuichi with some surprise.

Although it is a little hard to believe, it is possible that Hideichi Kitaoka started cleaning by himself without being aware of Goro Yura's presence.

Kitaoka Shuichi, who was happily chatting with Tezuka Umiyuki, immediately noticed Reid's look and raised his eyebrows, "By the way, is this your assistant? He looks clumsy."

The corner of Red's mouth twitched violently.

This stinky tone——

"No, he is not my assistant. Rather, I am his assistant now," Tezuka Umiyuki smiled.

"Hey - Mr. Tezuka, the image of you in my mind has collapsed," Kitaoka Shuichi stretched out his voice in an exaggerated manner.

"cough--"

Red couldn't help but cough loudly, and veins bulged on his forehead.

It was definitely not his illusion. The aggressiveness of Hideichi Kitaoka in this timeline was abnormally high.

"Mr. Hideichi Kitaoka, you really love to joke. Let's get back to the point. Actually, I've encountered some troubles this time and I hope to get your legal assistance." Feeling that Reid might jump up and bang Kitaoka Hideichi's head on the table at any time, Tezuka Umiyuki felt that he should get to the point.

"Actually, it's like this—"

Tezuka Umiyuki's face straightened and he spoke slowly.

At first, Red was a little worried. After all, he had just decided to find Kitaoka Shuichi, and Tezuka Umiyuki just followed him. Kitaoka Shuichi was a veteran, and the case he made up on the spur of the moment could not fool Kitaoka Shuichi. But as time went on, Red's expression gradually became subtle.

There was a group of students who fell into a coma due to an experimental accident. The school chose the latter without hesitation between taking responsibility and covering up the incident. Now they are barely staying alive in a private hospital thanks to the social welfare construction of the Hongshang Foundation.

This is a sad thing, but what is even sadder is that the social welfare construction of Hongshang Foundation cannot really take care of those patients for free. The most social welfare construction can do is to provide the greatest discount so that the high cost of treatment will not overwhelm a family.

Now, those students will have to be transferred to general wards because no one continues to pay for their treatment. If no one continues to pay for their treatment, Milk Dipper will have to move those patients out of the hospital. The university, which is responsible for bearing the treatment costs, has rejected Milk Dipper's request.

Since it has been hinted to this extent, Red naturally knows what Tezuka Umi is referring to.

The group of students mentioned by Umi Tezuka are the students who fell into a coma due to Kagawa Hideyuki's experiment in the mirror world, and that school is most likely Seimeiin University.

This did not happen in the previous timeline, so who has been paying for the treatment of those students?

Reid sighed subconsciously.

The saddest thing in this world is not not knowing a person thoroughly until death, but everything that happens after the other person's death tells him what kind of person the other person is.

"Oh, so you want me to sue Seimeiin University to pay for the medical expenses of those students?" Kitaoka Hideichi nodded with his chin raised, "This lawsuit is not easy to win, Mr. Tezuka, are there any relatives or acquaintances of yours among those students?"

"No."

"Did the parents of those students ask you to come to me?"

"No."

"Hiss - Mr. Tezuka, then why do you want to file this lawsuit?" Kitaoka Hideichi took a breath and leaned back with a puzzled look on his face.

Tezuka Umiyuki did not give any explanation but just replied calmly.

"Can't you?"

Kitaoka Hideichi was silent for a moment and then immediately raised his hands high.

"Of course - the law has never stipulated that we cannot lend a helping hand to others who are in trouble! If there really is such a law, he might as well eat shit. I am honored that Mr. Tezuka is willing to entrust me with this!"

Reid glanced up and down at Hideichi Kitaoka with suspicion on his face.

At first glance, Kitaoka Shuichi looks like a passionate rookie lawyer who has just entered the workplace and is ready to punish evil and injustice with the iron fist of justice. But who is Kitaoka Shuichi? He is an undefeated ace lawyer. What exactly is the law? Kitaoka Shuichi knows it better than anyone else. Of course, the most important thing is...

The most fundamental reason why Seimeiin University was able to cover up this incident that should have caused huge social controversy was that the undefeated ace lawyer Hideichi Kitaoka took action and shut up every student's family member one by one.

Now Kitaoka Hideichi is going to slap Seimeiin University in the face again...
