Knight Asylum

Reid raised his hand, slammed it hard on the armrest, and stood up suddenly.

It would have been fine if Yagyu didn't mention fairness. As soon as he mentioned fairness, his anger rose. Even someone as gentle as Xiaoxing frowned.

But what Red didn't expect was that the person who spoke up to dissuade him was Hideichi Kitaoka, who was treated severely unfairly.

"I'm sorry, Reid. This is fair. I'm sorry, I didn't expect Qingmingyuan University to do this." Kitaoka Hideichi pinched his nose and smiled bitterly, "But don't worry, since I took on this case, I will fight to the end."

"This is fair? Huh?" Reid couldn't accept this.

"If there is a freak among the defendants or plaintiffs, then special laws prepared for freaks must be used."

Kitaoka Hideichi paused.

"From the judge to the jury, all of them must be weirdos, to avoid unfair verdicts due to discrimination against weirdos."

"what?"

Not only Red, but even Xiao Xing was stunned.

Although Xiao Xing has lived peacefully in [S·L] for more than ten years, this is [S·L] after all, so it is inevitable that she will encounter some disputes, especially since the store she opened happens to be located in the most prosperous Xingxiu District of [S·L].

But she had not heard of any discrimination against weirdos in the past ten years. She looked around and felt that human laws were pretty good. There were clear regulations and ways to deal with everything she could think of and couldn't think of. As long as she followed the law, she could live a stable life.

Moreover, monsters are superior to humans in all aspects.

But now she was suddenly told that there were strange people and special laws.

As a weirdo, Xiao Xing felt very uncomfortable and felt like she was being discriminated against.

"But, but isn't this... a matter about Qingmingyuan University and those students?" Reid stuttered a little. He was caught off guard by this sudden appearance of a strange man.

He knew that [S·L] had so-called laws against monsters, but since it was targeted, it must be to restrict monsters. After all, the destructive power of monsters was there, so he always thought that the so-called monster laws were similar to the territory of the Yagi clan.

But now it seems that he was wrong, and very wrong.

"If we win this lawsuit, Seimeiin University will not only have to pay compensation, but the person in charge will also have to go to jail. Let me introduce you. This is the [person in charge] who is currently in charge of professor experimental issues at Seimeiin University," Kitaoka Hideichi raised his eyes and raised his hand in the direction of Yagyu.

“Because the defendant is a weirdo, the relevant process was activated.”

Reid's eye twitched violently.

Such a development was beyond his expectations.

"But even so, the truth will never..."

Before Red could finish his words, he was interrupted by Liu Sheng's shrill laughter, "Hahaha - that's true, the court will definitely give everyone a fair and just result."

……

Amagawa High School.

Tiandao Shuhua thought for a while and then, under the surprised gazes of many students, she pulled a chair and squeezed next to Ise Lingxiang, "Lingxiang Lingxiang, I have something to tell you."

Ise Ryoka was a little surprised, even flattered.

You should know that Tiandao Shuhua is a campus idol in Tianzhichuan High School. With her sweet smile and sunny personality, Tiandao Shuhua is loved by both men and women, including her naturally.

"Is there anything wrong? Tiandao-san," Ise Lingxiang said cautiously.

Tiandao Shuhua treats everyone equally and warmly like the sun, as if everyone is her good friend, but Ise Lingxiang is very self-aware and her previous self had a lot of bad deeds.

"Just call me Shuhua, cough - actually, that..." Tiandao Shuhua coughed lightly and wanted to regroup, but instead he coughed away the courage he had gathered with great difficulty.

Tiandao Shuhua struggled for the whole night about whether or not to tell Ise Lingxiang that Red had a girlfriend. She even went to seek help from her omnipotent brother, but it seemed that there was something wrong with the way she asked the question, and her omnipotent brother is still in a state of despair.

[Brother, Red has a girlfriend, what should I do?]

Tiandao Shuhua couldn't help but sigh. She didn't know that her question would be so destructive. Even though she explained for a long time, her brother still looked as if his soul had left his body.

"Ling Xiang-chan, actually, I saw the Red you mentioned these two days."

Ise Ryoka, who had been a little timid just now, immediately had a light in her eyes, and Hamamura Midori, who was sitting next to her, pricked up her ears.

"Really? Where? What is he doing now?" Ise Ryoka was a little excited.

"Well..."

Seeing Ise Lingxiang so excited, Tiandao Shuhua felt a little regretful, but the arrow was on the string and had to be shot.

"Red seems to be dating his girlfriend."

Tiandao Shuhua's voice became smaller and smaller, but she was sure that Ise Lingxiang heard it.

But as expected by Tiandao Shuhua, Ise Lingxiang just blinked and tilted her head, "This... I knew it from the beginning."

“Huh? Ah~ha——”

The flower of the Tiandao tree changed several syllables in succession and nodded, seeming to understand.

"In other words, Lingxiang-chan only has gratitude towards Reid," Hamamura Miyo turned sideways and hugged Tendou Shuhua from behind and blinked at Ise Lingxiang, whose face was a little stiff.

"Really? I was scared to death," Tiandao Tree Flower breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, Shuhua-chan, have you decided on your college entrance examination major?" Ise Ryoka changed the subject somewhat stiffly.

"Well - I actually wanted to go to Qingmingyuan University, but my brother suddenly strongly opposed it," Tiandao Shuhua complained.

Because Tiandao Shuhua is like a campus idol, many students are paying attention to the topic of Tiandao Shuhua. When they heard about Qingmingyuan University, several hot girls squeezed to the side in a very familiar manner.

"Huh? Why does your brother oppose you going to Qingmingyuan University?"

"Yes, the faculty of Qingmingyuan University is..."

Before Tiandao Shuhua finished speaking, one of the curly-haired hot girls raised her hand and twirled her hair. "Qingmingyuan University has accepted many weird students. I heard that in order to promote peaceful coexistence between humans and weirds, as long as students are willing to accept the school's arrangement to accompany weirds, they can get the highest level of scholarship subsidies, and even be assigned to the highest level of single dormitory, and have a lot of additional credits."

The hottie paused and lowered her voice.

"My sister told me that this is just the beginning. If you go to Qingmingyuan Graduate School for an interview in advance and sign a contract to pledge your contribution to the peaceful coexistence of humans and monsters, the score line can be lowered a lot!"

“Is this true? We are making huge profits,” the other hot girls exclaimed.

"Yeah, we can study with a weirdo! We are so lucky!"

Tiandao Shuhua hesitated for a long time with her mouth open and then silently decided to listen to her brother and not apply to Qingmingyuan University.

……

Looking at Reid's angry back, Kitaoka Hideichi whistled, turned and walked into the public restroom of the Supreme Court, and washed his hands leisurely, looking as relaxed as if he had just won a lawsuit.

"Wow--"

Kitaoka Hideichi turned off the faucet and shook his hands.

"Just as you requested, if Red hadn't had a high moral bottom line, the weirdo Yagyu would have been killed by Red. However, the seed of doubt about the peaceful coexistence of humans and weirdos has been planted."

"This seed will soon take root and sprout. What [S·L] lacks the least right now is the nutrients that will accelerate the growth of this seed."

Chapter 357: Cracks in Harmony

"No."

"Don't do that."

“Fuck—”

Red threw his phone forward and took several gulps of ice water before he managed to suppress the resentment in his heart. He wanted to continue reading the consultations left on the Internet, but his reason told him that if he read any more, he would really explode.

No wonder that weirdo named Yagyu was so arrogant, no wonder Kitaoka Hideichi said this was fair, it turns out that similar lawsuits have occurred more than once in the past ten years, and the frequency is increasing year by year. Since the laboratory accident of Kagawa Hideyuki, the number of lawsuits involving weirdos has skyrocketed.

The thugs became thugs protected and supported by the law.

It even spawned a series of industrial chains, and Qingmingyuan University's move of replacing the person in charge with a weirdo and directly implementing the special law for weirdos is just one of them.

Red lay on the table and let out a long breath.

[S·L] This matter has never been mentioned in any external publicity, and most people would not think of it either. After all, the crime rate and criminal ability of weirdos are there.

With such a high crime rate and such high criminal capacity, the only thing that can stop them is the cost of crime, such as Sylvie Tullia's containment mechanism.

Well, now let alone the cost of crime, it is simply encouraging crime. However, considering the already high crime rate of weirdos in [S·L], it seems that this little bit of legal... surrender really has no effect.

After hesitating for a while, Red took out his cell phone and wavered between Minghai and Enbei before finally deciding to call Enbei. Minghai is still investigating the Gaia memory issue, and as for Enbei... Rosette has been rescued now, so there should be time, probably.

"Red, it's me, what's going on?"

Soon the call was connected, and Enbei's voice came from the phone. Judging from the background sound, Enbei seemed to be in the cafeteria.

"Uh... it's nothing big, I just want to consult you on something," Red complained after tapping the table with his index finger, "What's this weirdo special law, what's going on?"

"what?"

Thinking that Red was going to say something very secret, Embe, who was walking towards the corner, was stunned for a moment and then sat back, holding the phone in his left hand and stirring the pasta with a fork in his right hand.

"Special law for monsters, uh... because [S.L] is a society where humans and monsters coexist, the special nature of monsters is there, so special laws have been prepared."

Embe was a little surprised. He didn't know why Red suddenly asked about the special method of weirdos.

"I just went to the Supreme Court to listen to a lawsuit," Red thought for a while and decided not to tell Ember that he was actually a participant in the lawsuit, so as to prevent Ember from shouting and screaming, thinking that he was involved in some trouble.

"Eavesdrop?" Enbe leaned back with his hands across his chest.

"It's related to Qingmingyuan University. A dozen students fell into a coma due to an experimental accident. They are barely hanging on thanks to the welfare construction of the Hongshang Foundation. However, the welfare construction only exempts most of the expenses, not free."

When Red said this, Embe understood the general meaning.

"In other words, the purpose of this lawsuit is to make Qingmingyuan University pay for the medical expenses?"

Enbei counted on his fingers and nodded.

"Then this lawsuit should be no problem. It's a heavy expense for an average family, but it should be easy for Qingmingyuan University. If the experimental accident is exposed, it will affect the reputation of Qingmingyuan University. Compared with the cost of treatment, its own reputation is more important."

"..."

Because Red on the other end of the phone didn't speak for a long time, Enbe's heart skipped a beat. He recalled what Red had said before, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely.

"Seimeiin University has adopted a special law for freaks?"

"Ah."

"hiss--"

Ember gasped.

He could hear that Red was not in a very good mood, so he was afraid that Red was not just there to listen. He knew Red's character very well, and he was also very clear about the situation in the court caused by the special law on weirdos, and he was curious about what kind of chemical reaction would occur when the two collided.

He couldn't imagine.

After thinking for a while, Enbei spoke slowly.

"Red, Qingmingyuan University is a public university funded by various governments. Do you know what this means?"

"I know," Reid let out a long breath.

It would be better to say that when he knew about the existence of the Special Monster Law and the series of situations caused by the Special Monster Law, he knew what it meant.

"Sylvi Thurria... although it was funded by sponsors, it is essentially a project planned by various governments," Embe pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to think of how to explain it so that Red could accept it.

But after thinking for a long time, Enbei couldn't give any reason.

It was only then that Enbei realized that he could not accept such a result. However, after so many years, he had become numb and had no expectations for change. He could only pray in his heart that things would not get even worse.

Embi's lips paused before he gave a wry smile.

"Feel sorry……"

Red leaned back in his chair, the wind blowing his hair across his forehead, his dark eyes reflecting the busy streets of S.L.

People and weirdos walking on the street seem to be in perfect harmony.

But at some point, cracks began to appear in his eyes.

"this is not your fault."

Red and Embe didn't know who ended the call first. By the time they realized what was happening, the call had already ended a long time ago.

Looking at the pasta in front of him that had long missed its most delicious period, Embe opened his mouth and stuffed the pasta into his mouth without thinking. After wiping his mouth casually, he walked quickly into the elevator and came to the control tower under the surprised gaze of the employees.

U was sitting at the highest point, looking down at the screens of every communicator, monitoring the status of [S·L].

"U, I want to talk to you about something."

U raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Enbe, then stood up and walked down, raised his hand and waved, signaling Enbe to follow.

After leaving the command tower and entering the silent corridor, U asked.

"What happened?"

"Special method for weirdos..."
