Knight Asylum

"Uuuuuu——"

As he spoke, Sano Mitsuru, who looked like a senior, covered his face and started crying.

“I thought that person would be me.”

"Ah, well," Red raised his hand and patted Sano Mitsuru's shoulder, "It's good to be confident, but overconfidence is not good."

Sano Man gave Reid a resentful look. Reid, who was more like pulling out a knife to stab his wound than comforting him, rubbed his eyes hard and said, "You must make Xiao Xing happy!"

"Well, I will."

"How straightforward..."

Sano Mitsuru muttered, turned around and prepared to leave, but before he could leave, Tezuka Umiyuki stepped in front of Sano Mitsuru, and Reid also reached out and pressed Sano Mitsuru's shoulder, shaking the knight card box in his left hand.

Sano's mouth twitched, and he subconsciously touched his pocket. His face instantly fell and he looked at Reid pitifully.

"No, not with this..."

When Xiao Xing came back after tidying up, she saw Reid and Sano Man sitting there like good brothers.

Well, Red was sitting on a chair, Sano Mitsuru was kneeling in front of Red, and Tezuka Umiyuki was standing beside her and waving to her.

"Oh... Miss Xiaoxing, you're back," Sano Mitsuru waved to Xiaoxing awkwardly.

"What are you..."

Xiao Xing naturally knew what the situation was. Sano Mitsuru's personality was there. Asking in a nice tone would most likely make Sano Mitsuru feel that there was still room for him to go around in circles and beg for benefits. Direct torture was the most effective way to deal with Sano Mitsuru.

"Although it's a bit sudden, Xiaoxing, can you go buy some snacks?" Reid smiled at Xiaoxing, and Sano Mitsuru also raised his hand to second the proposal.

"I see."

Xiao Xing nodded thoughtfully, smiled gently, and left the flower shop with her backpack.

As soon as Xiaoxing left the flower shop, Sano Mitsuru knelt down and leaned on the door frame. After making sure that Xiaoxing was far away, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat back on the ground, raised his hand to close the door of the flower shop, and turned to look at Reid with a smirk.

"Um... about the mirror world, can you please pretend that you don't know? Ah - of course I know about the contracted beasts, but apart from satisfying the contracted beasts' requirements, can you please not enter the mirror world?"

Red raised his eyebrows and leaned forward. "It seems like you know something about this."

"This... I don't know either. It's not convenient to say this," Sano Mitsuru scratched the back of his head and said weakly after struggling for a while, "There are a few very dangerous psychopaths among the Mirror Knights now. If you enter the Mirror World too frequently, you will be targeted by them."

"From what you said..."

Red tilted his head and lowered his chin.

"You seem to know who they are."

"This... I do know who they are," Sano Mitsuru scratched his face, "One is called Asakura Takeshi, one is called Tojo Go, and the other one is Kuro..."

"Wait a minute—who are you talking about? Tojo Go?!"

Reid was stunned for a moment before his eyes widened.

He still remembered Tojo Go, Professor Kagawa's student, who always kept his head down and looked a little autistic, but his attitude towards him was quite good and he told him a lot of things.

Because Hideyuki Kagawa died in the previous timeline, and the research institute seemed to have been unattended for a long time, he subconsciously thought that Tojo Go and Nakamura, two of Professor Kagawa's students, had also died.

"Ah, do you know him? He's also a very strange person, saying that he wants to be a hero and so on," Sano Mitsuru complained.

Tojo Go survived, became the Mirror Knight, and said he wanted to be a hero...

Reid and Tezuka Umi looked at each other.

"Where is Tojogo?"

Chapter 377: Is it Shinji Kido?

After Xiaoxing came back and explained a few things to him, Red took Sano Mitsuru and asked him to lead the way to find Tojo Go.

Along the way, Sano Mitsuru didn't do anything small. He took Red and Tezuka Kaizhi to a relatively remote cheap apartment area. There were many weirdos and homeless people on the roadside.

"Over here—"

Mitsuru Sano raised his hand towards another apartment building. After walking a few steps towards the apartment building, he found that Reid and Umi Tezuka were not following him. After thinking for a while, Mitsuru Sano suddenly realized something and rubbed his fingers with an awkward smile.

"Ah~ Actually, Tojo Go and I... well, we're a little familiar with each other."

"How much did he give you?"

"Hey! It's just the money for running errands and picking up things, hahaha - but don't worry, you are the one who can bring happiness to Miss Xiaoxing, and I won't do anything to you even if someone pays you," Sano Mitsuru raised his hand and patted his chest to make a promise.

"Hey - I'm so moved that I want to cry. Let's go."

Red didn't take what Sano Mitsuru said to heart, because in the previous timeline, Sano Mitsuru had already proved with his actions what kind of person he was. As long as the money was in place, he could kill anyone with a lazy tone and attitude even if they were someone he had no grudge against.

Sano Mitsuru is a man who talks a lot of nonsense, and his true feelings may change at any time.

The so-called lofty words are nothing more than a means to raise the stakes.

Under the guidance of Mitsuru Sano, Reid and Umi Tezuka entered the cheap apartment building, took the shaky elevator to the sixth floor, passed through various garbage bags that emitted strange smells, and came to No. 512 at the end of the corridor.

Sano Mitsuru pulled up his sleeves, raised his fist and knocked heavily on door 512.

"That! It's me! We have a guest!"

After waiting for two or three minutes, Red heard footsteps behind the door. The old door creaked open a crack, and an eye was peeking at the corridor through the crack.

Sano Mitsuru immediately stepped aside and raised his hand in the direction of Reid and Tezuka Umiyuki with a brilliant smile, "Tojo, these two are insiders of the Mirror World. They are also investigating the affairs of the Mirror World. Maybe they can help you."

Also investigating the mirror world?

Reid was stunned and immediately stepped forward to hold the door, staring at the eyes behind the crack, "Do you... remember Professor Kagawa?"

Tojo Go's pupils shrank behind the door. He closed the door, unbolted it, opened the door, lowered his head, and carefully extended his right hand towards Reid.

"Hello, I am……"

"Tojo Go, I'm Red."

Red immediately reached out and held Tojo Go's right hand.

"We've met several times and talked a lot."

Tojo Go, who had been lowering his head, raised his head in surprise, looked at Reid for a while, then turned around and walked into the house, muttering to himself, "Is that the case—"

"Huh? Have you known each other for a long time?" Sano Mitsuru was a little surprised.

"who knows--"

Red patted Sano Mitsuru's shoulder and walked in with his head down. Tezuka Umiyuki followed behind Red and, like Red, reached out and patted Sano Mitsuru's shoulder.

"Eh--"

Sano Mitsuru followed Tezuka Umiyuki, shouting and closing the door.

After entering the house, Red discovered that all the windows were sealed with several layers of newspapers, not even allowing any light to get in. Various materials were placed in the not-so-spacious living room.

Red bent down, picked up one of the documents and glanced at it.

This is research data about the Mirror World. In the previous timeline, he had seen similar data in Professor Kagawa's research institute, but in this timeline, that research institute did not have any research data about the Mirror World, not even the equipment to cultivate the core of the Mirror World. It was just an empty shell.

He thought it was because Tojo Go, Nakamura and Professor Kagawa died together, but now it seems that Tojo Go moved all the information here.

Red looked around the living room carefully again and found no signs of a second person being here, so Tojo Go should be the only one there.

Then Nakamura is probably...

When Sano Mitsuru saw Reid looking at the information about the mirror world without saying a word, he immediately took credit and said, "I helped get all of this!"

"Tojo paid for it, right?" Reid simply exposed Sano Mitsuru and looked at Tojo Go who was looking through the information. "Do you know that Sano called you a very dangerous psychopath?"

"Ahem - I, I didn't!"

Sano Mitsuru, who didn't expect Red to tell tales, coughed heavily and gestured in the direction of Tojo Go in a panic.

Tojo Go glanced at Sano Mitsuru, but didn't get angry. He bent down and continued to organize the information.

"A person who believes that time has been reset is anything but a dangerous psychopath."

"But time has indeed been reset, and... more than once," Tezuka Umi crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, pretending to be casual and tentative, "But, how did you find out?"

Tojo Go paused, and Red also looked at Tojo Go.

Only those who possess the Gale and Flame Wings cards can retain the memories of the previous timeline. Tezuka Umiyuki relies on his mysterious psychic abilities.

What does Tojo Go rely on?

"I didn't realize that time had been reset. Instead, I discovered the possibility of resetting time in the mirror world through my research on the mirror world. Then I sorted out the existing doubts and speculated who might have achieved the goal of resetting time through the mirror world."

Tojo Go handed the sorted documents to Red.

Reid and Tezuka Umi looked at each other and then flipped through the documents.

As usual, there were a lot of professional terms that he couldn't understand, and there were also many formulas handwritten by Tojo Go himself.

But he could understand the sentence that these formulas ultimately pointed to.

[The mirror world can replace the timeline to a certain extent]

This last speculation is followed by a big question mark.

Red looked at Tojo Go with surprise.

It seems that Tojo Go came to this conclusion alone through researching the data from the mirror world.

This is incredible. You have to know that in the previous timeline, Professor Kagawa, Nakamura and Tojo did not come to this conclusion. Even if he brought this information to them, they did not list a series of formulas to come to the incredible conclusion that this mirror world can replace the timeline to a certain extent.

"Do you think he is a psychopath?" Sano Mitsuru shrugged.

"No - unfortunately, this is all true," Red handed the information back, "Did you go to Qingmingyuan University last night?"

"The information about the mirror world that I need is no longer available at Qingmingyuan University," Tojo Go frowned, "I didn't leave here the entire day yesterday."

"I can testify to this—"

Sano Mitsuru skillfully opened the refrigerator on the side, took out the sushi and started eating it.

"Last night, a weirdo named Yagyu from Seimeiin University was killed in a very cruel way by the Mirror Knight. The girl who was rescued said that the Mirror Knight claimed to be the hero of the mirror world."

Sano Mitsuru, who was eating sushi, coughed heavily, his eyes flickered and he didn't dare to look at Tojo Go.

"The one who attacked the monsters was the Mirror Knight? Sano--" Tojo Go looked at Sano Mitsuru.

"Ahem - sorry, sorry, that...if you're looking for the Mirror Knight who can attack monsters, then this person is not Tojo, but another scary guy."

Mitsuru Sano wiped his mouth vigorously, looked around, took out a piece of white paper, took a pen and thought for a while, then started to draw quickly. At first, Reed and Umiyuki Tezuka just watched curiously, but as the content of Mitsuru Sano's painting became more specific, Reed and Umiyuki Tezuka's expressions changed.

"That's the guy! He's even more outrageous than that psychopath Asakura Takeshi! I saw him break the necks of several weirdos with my own eyes! He's the most dangerous guy among all the Mirror Knights!"

Sano Mitsuru stood up and patted the Mirror Knight sketched on the paper with a solemn oath.

Reid and Tezuka Umiyuki fell into silence.

Because the Mirror Knight drawn on the paper is Shinji Kido.

Chapter 378: We’ve only known each other for less than an hour!

Shinji Kido is a good man, a good man who is so stupid that it makes people feel helpless.

Red couldn't associate Shinji Kido with the dangerous madman in the mirror world who attacked monsters everywhere and killed them in various brutal ways as described by Sano Mitsuru.

If Red is asked to choose between believing Shinji Shirodo or Mitsuru Sano, Red will definitely choose to believe Shinji Shirodo.

If we assume that Sano Mitsuru is lying, then what is the purpose of Sano Mitsuru doing this? Who asked Sano Mitsuru to induce him to suspect Shiroto Shinji?

Wings of Fire card.

Reid narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Um...you're not suspecting that I'm lying, are you?" Sano Mitsuru complained weakly.

Reid and Tezuka Umi looked at each other and nodded in sync.

Tojo thought for a while and then complained weakly, "Sano, your credibility is very low."

"Eh-ah! I see! You know this Mirror Knight, right? You don't think this person would do something like this, right!"

Sano Mitsuru immediately thought of the reasons why Reid and Tezuka Umi suspected him, and he put his hands on his hips and shook his head left and right.

"Don't you understand? No matter how bright and noble a person is, there will always be a dark side in their heart. Of course, this dark side does not refer to those dark thoughts, but some tendencies. Haven't you ever had the idea of ​​using violence to solve problems at some point?"

Reid was stunned, but did not deny it directly.

"After putting on the mask, I entered the opposite world, where there are no laws, no morals, only myself and crazy monsters. These are all catalysts, making the Mirror Knight unconsciously lean towards the idea of ​​that moment."

Sano Mitsuru waved his hands up and down exaggeratedly.
