Knight Asylum

"Tezuka, can you locate the positions of those three mirror beasts? Oh, of course, I don't mean to ask you to do divination," Reid immediately added in order to prevent Tezuka Umi from starting divination.

"Ordinary-"

Tezuka Umiyuki subconsciously wanted to shake his head. As he was holding the Knight Card Box, he could hear the movements of the Mirror Beasts, but that premise was that the Mirror Beasts were around him. But before he could finish his words, the noise from the Mirror World abruptly pierced his ears. Tezuka Umiyuki immediately looked over and his face suddenly turned dark.

The three mirror beasts in the glass that he had just chased away came back and were circling around the building.

Seeing Tezuka Umi's expression was not right, Red immediately reacted and lowered his voice, "Could it be that those three mirror beasts have come back again?"

"Yeah - like nothing happened."

The corner of Tezuka Umiyuki's mouth twitched, he took out the knight card box from his pocket, turned around and entered the mirror world through the glass on the side. This time, Tezuka Umiyuki did not stumble out of the mirror world until the limit time.

"Running away again?"

Tezuka Umiyuki was silent for a while and then nodded, "Although it's just my guess, the target of those three mirror beasts is most likely that girl."

"At this juncture..." Red's eyes jumped, "This doesn't seem like a coincidence."

"But we can't just leave it alone, right?" Tezuka Umi said slowly after thinking for a while, "And judging from the current situation, the attack of the mirror beast has a certain purpose. Maybe that girl has some secrets."

"Secrets or not, we can't let the mirror beast attack her," Red took out a check from his pocket and glanced at the address written on it.

At present, there are only two ways he can think of to deal with the Mirror Beast. The Mirror Knight can eliminate the Mirror Beast in the Mirror World, and the other is to destroy the Mirror Beast the moment it leaves the Mirror World and attacks its target.

"Although it's a little difficult, I want to try to find other Mirror Knights for help," Tezuka Umi suggested, "Before that--"

"Until then, I will protect her here," Red waved the check in his hand, "It looks like the route for the date has been determined."

----

In the Supreme Conference Hall of Selvi Tulia, the progress report of the Knight Project was held.

Although it is a stage for each sponsor to showcase his knight plan, the protagonist today is only Ouroboros, and the other sponsors have become supporting roles.

"Kabuto Insect Meter——It has a flight speed of 950 kilometers per hour. It can perform teleportation-like movements by cutting off space. It can easily penetrate a 150mm iron plate when it rushes forward."

"TheBee Insect Meter - Same as the Kabuto Insect Meter. It has a flight speed of 950 kilometers per hour, can perform teleportation-like movements by cutting through space, and can emit superluminal particles of internal energy as waves from the wings to cut the target in two."

"Drake Insect Meter - The specific basic function is the same as TheBee."

"Sasword Insect Meter - Although it cannot fly at super high speeds like other insect meters, it can move underground at a speed that is no less than that of other insect meters. It can appear next to the qualified person as soon as they call it."

"During this period, the Kamen Riders equipped with insect detectors have destroyed several alien insect egg-laying areas."

The Ouroboros representative read out the contents in a high-pitched voice for everyone to see.

U sat on the chair and crossed his fingers.

Just at the first glance he could determine that the insect meter was not a technology that Ouroboros could currently research.

According to the results shown in the data, the insect instrument can not only give humans powerful powers to allow humans to enter the accelerated world of alien insects, but it also has extremely high self-thinking ability and can select qualified people by itself.

Now Ouroboros has made at least four completely different insect instruments in one go.

Ouroboros' high-profile display of its progress naturally caused dissatisfaction among other qualified candidates.

"I have a question. Why do we have to over-improve the intelligence of insect instruments when developing them?" The Sage Tower said. "Are the conditions for selecting qualified insect instruments really reasonable?"

"As far as I know, only TheBee's qualified candidates are members of ZECT."

Not only U, but other sponsors also subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction of the Sage's Tower.

This is in line with the style of the Tower of Sages. The Tower of Sages believes that all magicians should be citizens of the Magic Kingdom, and they make every effort to mine and search for magic ores outside the Magic Kingdom. Not only do they refuse to provide magic rings to Servier Turia for research, they also refuse to sell or rent magic rings to magicians who are not citizens of the Magic Kingdom.

There can be chosen people in this world, but they must be their own people.

The Ouroboros' insect instruments are just like the free technology. Not only do they have their own will, they also have unstoppable super abilities.

"If this power falls into unreliable hands, can Ouroboros be held responsible?"

This was the rejection and suppression of those who approached from the end of the Knight Plan, but what no one expected was that the Ouroboros leader's answer was extremely straightforward.

"Of course we can be responsible. We may choose the wrong person, but the insect instrument will never make a wrong choice."

U's fingers slowly tightened and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Will we choose the wrong person?

Because of Ouroboros's straightforward answers, the progress report became a personal show for Ouroboros. Even if the Sage's Tower showed off its new magic ring, it was of no avail and even became a cushion for Ouroboros to show off even more frightening progress.

One of them is that their insect meter technology has matured, and they are now producing the second generation of insect meters with even more exaggerated functions.

The meeting ended in silence among the sponsors.

The sponsors' tablets went out one by one, until only the museum's tablet remained lit.

Chapter 321: The so-called confusion is to watch yourself sinking soberly

After exchanging contact information and repeatedly emphasizing not to use divination as much as possible, Red and Umiyuki Tezuka separated. Red still stood opposite the cram school building, while Umiyuki Tezuka walked along the street and disappeared from Red's sight in a few minutes.

Why is it repeatedly emphasized that divination should not be used as much as possible?

Because divination is Tezuka Umiyuki's ability, if Tezuka Umiyuki was someone who would only use this ability for himself, Tezuka Umiyuki would never have come to him.

All he can do now is to do what he can to the best of his ability.

Reid let out a long breath, raised his fist and knocked lightly on the wall, knocking off a piece of gravel and holding it in his hand, looking across at the building where the Wangzi Chenglong cram school was located. He naturally began to relax his body, block out the noise and amplify his senses. The floor where the Wangzi Chenglong cram school was located was not very high, so he quickly sensed the location of the Tiandao tree flower.

The position where the Tiandao Tree Flower sits is quite delicate. It is quite a distance away from the glass that can serve as the entrance and exit of the mirror world. If the mirror beast wants to attack the Tiandao Tree Flower, it has to come out of the mirror directly. Once it leaves the mirror world, the mirror beast will no longer be a reflection in the mirror.

With his current abilities, he can perform precise sniping with just a flick of his fingers.

But no one knew whether the mirror beasts were cautious enough, or whether Tezuka Umi had caused enough damage, but until Tendou Shuhua and the other classmates said goodbye happily, the three mirror beasts had no intention of attacking.

Seeing the Tiandao siblings talking and laughing, Red immediately hid in the alley sideways. He waited until the Tiandao siblings walked forward for a distance before he slowly walked out. While following behind the Tiandao siblings from a distance, he began to recall the contents of the missing person file.

"That—brother?"

"Huh? What's wrong?" Tendou Souji was stunned for a moment and then smiled slightly.

As a man who walks the path of heaven and is in charge of everything, he naturally noticed that Red was following them. He also knew why Red was following them, so he had no intention of exposing him. Of course, he also had his own reasons.

Even he was a little confused after witnessing the huge and complex future.

No, it cannot be said that he was confused. The so-called confusion was watching himself sinking soberly. He did not sink, and he knew what to do next. He just did not want to believe that that was what he would do, but reality gave him a reason that could not be denied.

"You seem a little absent-minded, could it be because..."

Tiandao Shuhua pinched her chin and pretended to be hesitant, then she stretched out her voice and suddenly turned sideways and smiled mischievously but brightly.

"I think someone is hitting on me."

"Ahem - what are you talking about?" Tendou Souji coughed, raised his hand and gently tapped Tendou Shuhua's forehead, "Am I such a stingy person?"

"That's true, but if you think about it, it wasn't that person who hit on me, but I hit on him."

Tendo Souji staggered and almost hit his head on a telephone pole. This scared Red, who was following the Tendo siblings from a distance. He looked around nervously, wondering who had launched an attack that he could not see or sense.

"Huh? Why? What's going on?!"

Tiandao Zongsi became anxious.

"Huh? Because, didn't you, brother, tell me that we should lend a helping hand when we see someone in need?" Tiandao Tree Flower tilted her head.

"Ah~ Is that the case? You should have told me about this kind of thing from the beginning," in an instant Tendo Souji regained his previous confidence and calmness.

"However, I do care about that person," Tiandao Shuhua held her chin up and nodded like a girl.

"Well - what kind of concern do you have?" Tendō Souji saw through his sister's little thoughts and shook his head helplessly.

"Hey - brother, do you still remember my classmates? They are Ise-san and Hamamura-san," Tendou Shuhua stuck out her tongue and raised her finger with a serious look on her face.

"Ah~ Those two students who have returned to the right path? What happened?"

"I always feel that the person is very similar to the one they said saved their lives, Reid?" Tiandao Shuhua tilted her head and put her hands on her waist and sighed deeply, "The person who saved other people's lives encountered difficulties, but no one offered a helping hand. Isn't this terrible?"

"That's right..." Tendou Souji looked up at the sky and thought for a while before smiling, "Shuhua, you don't have to go to the cram school tomorrow."

"Huh? That's great!"

"But you have to come to the store and help, please."

"Eh--"

As a high school student in adolescence, Tiandao Shuhua definitely hopes to play on the street with her friends on weekends, but since it is a request from her most respected brother, she will definitely not refuse.

Until the Tiandao brothers and sisters arrived home, no accidents happened, as if the three mirror beasts had given up.

However, Red did not let down his guard. He knew better than anyone how tricky the characteristics of the mirror beasts were. He probably couldn't close his eyes until he dealt with the three mirror beasts. Fortunately, his Aguru had not stopped transforming his body, so it would not have any effect on him even if he didn't sleep for a few days.

"This is really troublesome, Kanzaki Shirou, what is your purpose?"

Red's voice echoed in the alley, but no one responded.

The moment Tezuka Umiyuki appeared in front of him with the Knight Card Box, he was already sure that Kanzaki Shirou was still alive. Although Kanzaki Shirou also used death to cover up his whereabouts in the previous timeline, when he was alone, he only needed to shout and Kanzaki Shirou would most likely appear directly in front of him.

Although he said some meaningless words after he appeared, he still appeared openly.

But now, Kanzaki Shirou was motionless.

Because Kanzaki Shirou isn't here?

If Kanzaki Shirou was not around him, how could it be such a coincidence that the Mirror Beast appeared and pretended to attack the flower of the Heavenly Path Tree but actually wanted to drag him into the mirror world.

"Don't you even have the courage to come out and face it?"

Reid pulled out his cell phone and flipped through the address book. His finger paused on Ming Hai's name before he started sending a text message.

Soon a call came back.

"Hello? Uncle, I have to spend the night outside," Red glanced at Tendo Souji's house and shrank back into the alley, "Some mirror beasts attacked a girl right in front of me today."

"Mirror beast?"

"Well, and... the girl is probably a bait. The target is me. The mirror beast wants to drag me into the mirror world." Red leaned against the wall and took out the missing person file from his backpack and flipped through a few pages. "There are also missing people from the mirror world nearby. They are neighbors of this family, so I plan to investigate around here."

"But there is also the possibility that this is a smoke screen thrown by the other party."

"If this is really a smokescreen to hinder your investigation, then this also confirms the fact that the museum is using the mirror world and has a way to command the mirror beasts," Ming Hai analyzed calmly.

"That's true. By the way, uncle, I went to visit someone today..."

After hesitating for a moment, Red told the whole story of his visit to Hideichi Kitaoka and his decision to take over the lawsuit against Umiyuki Tezuka.

Ming Hai was silent for a moment before he spoke slowly.

"This is a good thing."

Chapter 322 Let's go, get some French fries

That night was neither peaceful nor chaotic.

In [S·L], unless you are in a relatively backward and remote area, there is actually no difference between night and day. The location of Tiandao Family is quite subtle, close to the bustling city but just in a quiet place.

Today is the weekend, a good time to sleep in for high school students who have worked hard for a week, but early in the morning Reid heard the energetic calls of the Tiandao tree flowers.

Reid twisted his neck left and right, throwing stones away. He did not forget that he had a date today. Of course, he would not forget that the Tiandao Tree Flower was still being watched by the Mirror Beast. Therefore, the distance between the place where he made an appointment with Xiaoxing to meet and the Tiandao Tree Flower was within his perception range. After that, the route of the date would allow him to observe the living conditions of the families and relatives of the missing persons, and also determine the location of the Tiandao Tree Flower.

Wait, I'm dating Xiao Xing but my mind is full of another underage high school girl...

The more Red thought about it, the more he felt that his behavior was strange in some way.

The agreed meeting place was a fountain in front of a commercial building. There was still half an hour before the agreed time, but a beautiful figure was already standing in front of the fountain.

There was no attractive clothing, nor light makeup to highlight her temperament. Xiao Xing was wearing the most ordinary, even a little old-fashioned, somewhat bleached jeans, and a blue denim jacket. She sat sideways on the edge of the fountain with her legs bent, bending over and gently scooping up the clear water. The water droplets falling from the fountain sparkled in the sunlight, outlining Xiao Xing's body and ethereal face.

Won--

Baluba, hiding in the corner, silently clenched her fists and resisted the urge to cheer.

At first, she considered whether she should get Xiaoxing some feminine clothes, but after thinking carefully, she realized that Xiaoxing's personality was rather ethereal, and it would be too much to suddenly change her dressing style. At this time, the more ordinary the outfit, the more likely it would produce a shocking effect.

During the time that Xiao Xing was waiting for Red, people passing by, whether male or female, would subconsciously stop and watch from afar the lotus swaying in the wind. Red was the only one who stepped in and was allowed to enter.

She didn't believe that Red wouldn't be moved by such a scene.

Come on, Rhett, let me hear the voice in your heart, no need to hide it!

"Xiao Xing, how long have you been here? Are you hungry? Do you want to get some fries?" Red smiled brightly and waved his hand.

Baluba, who was holding onto the wall, felt her legs go weak and she almost hit her head against the wall.

What did Red say just now?

Some French fries!?

Even Baluba suddenly had the urge to rush over and push Red's head into the fountain to cleanse his brain.
