Knight Asylum

After a long silence, Red lowered his head and rested his wrists on his knees.

"They were all dead. They didn't escape, but there was no sign of bodies at the scene."

"Mirror beasts are what humans look like after being eroded by mirror beasts and losing their self."

"The mirror beast that Odin contracted... is Kanzaki Shirou. The Kanzaki Shirou that appeared before us is the Kanzaki Shirou of the mirror world."

"The core of the mirror world is the anchor that connects reality and the mirror world. It is extremely unstable and cannot be moved at will. The core of the mirror world cultivated by Kanzaki Shirou... has existed for at least ten years."

Reid clenched his fists.

"The core of the mirror world that Kanzaki Shirou [cultivated] is Kanzaki Yui."

When all the clues are obtained, all that is needed to deduce the truth is the determination to tell it.

"It's always painful to deduce the truth," Ming Hai stood up, walked to Red and took off the round-brimmed hat on his head.

The brim of a hat is the roof on which a man rests when facing the heavy rain of fate.

But just as he was about to put it down, Red raised his hand to stop him.

The eyes beneath the brim of the hat showed pain and struggle, but more importantly, it showed the tenacity and courage to face the decision.

"Uncle, I'm going to finish this."

Ming Hai was stunned for a moment, then slowly said, "You know what kind of questioning you will face."

"I know, so I already have the answer."

"Really? I really asked an unnecessary question," Ming Hai curled the corners of his mouth, put the round-brimmed hat back on his head and raised the brim.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Yes, there are some things I want to investigate," Red nodded, "It may be related to some other things."

The seemingly unrelated fragments are constantly being integrated, but there are still many key things missing, and these key things are covered up by time.

Just like those who were eroded by the mirror world, no one has any memory.

And finding these out is the detective's specialty.

"Uncle, I would like to ask you to investigate someone."

"Who?"

Chapter 431 Dragon Fang and Dragon Rider

Shinji Shirodo stopped, covered his forehead and thought for a moment, then twirled his hair vigorously and put his hands on his hips, looking helpless.

"Um! Miss Miho!"

"Hmm? Shinji, why don't you leave?"

Kirishima Miho stopped in the alley and did not look back.

"Didn't you say you wanted to help me?"

"Do I look like a... fool?"

Shinji Shirodo pointed at his own face and complained helplessly.

"Ah~ This is really surprising. I was actually fooled by you. My self-confidence has been damaged."

Kirishima Miho turned around, put her left hand on her waist, raised her right hand and shook her hair, and her youthful smile became somewhat materialistic and perfunctory.

"I thought I could easily control a fool like you."

"Hey! That's too much!" Shiroto Shinji couldn't help but yell, "I really want to help you find your sister!"

"Is this true? Are you... an idiot? You actually believed what I said," Shirodo Shinji shouted, and Kirishima Miho became even more surprised.

Shinji Shirodo's face turned red, and after holding it in for a while, he complained weakly.

"So, your sister is not missing, right?"

Kirishima Miho was stunned, slowly put down her hands, and put her left hand into her clothes pocket.

"Of course, my sister is not missing, she has always been by my side."

Shinji Shirodo was stunned and immediately jumped back, reaching his right hand into his pocket and grasping the Knight Card Box. The Knight Card Box in Kirishima Miho's hand was the one that could transform into Mirror Knight.

"Miss Miho, what are you doing?!"

"Shinji, I don't remember. I should remember. I should have a sister. I don't remember her name, but my life still has traces of her efforts to give me a good life."

Kirishima Miho clenched the Knight Card Box in her hand, took a deep breath, turned around and pointed the Knight Card Box in her hand at the translucent glass that had been placed on the side earlier. The Knight Belt of the Mirror Knight flipped out and buckled around Kirishima Miho's waist.

"Shinji, you still remember, right?"

Shinji Shirodo's pupils shrank sharply and he pulled out the Knight Card Box, but he was not on guard against Kirishima Miho, but the person standing behind Kirishima Miho in the translucent glass.

Malice, unparalleled malice.

Kirishima Miho inserted the Knight Card Box into the belt around her waist.

"Henshin——"

The black reflection flipped and covered Kirishima Miho's slender body, and the Mirror Knight of the White Swan raised the rapier in his hand and pointed it at Shirodo Shinji.

"Shinji - have you seen my sister? She's on top of me right now."

Kirishima Miho walked slowly towards Shirodo Shinji with a sword in hand. Her voice of impending collapse made Shirodo Shinji's heart tremble.

"Hey - Shinji, you have a card on you, right? A card that doesn't belong to you. You can't use that card. Can you give it to me?"

Shinji Shirodo was stunned and understood Kirishima Mihui's goal.

Wings of Fire's Advent Card!

"Ms. Meihui, this card...I can't give it to you!"

Shinji Shirodo had no intention of fighting with Kirishima Miho and turned around to run. However, before he could run out of the alley, Kirishima Miho grabbed him by the collar and threw him back into the depths of the alley.

"it hurts--"

Shinji Shirodo fell to the ground and cried out in pain. He looked up and saw Kirishima Miho, who was blocking the only exit, staring at him with a rapier in her hand.

This is clearly not a situation that can be resolved through dialogue.

Shinji Shirodo had no choice but to stand up and dodge Kirishima Miho's attack while aiming the Knight Card Box at the glass. The Mirror Knight Belt flipped out, and Shinji Shirodo rolled to dodge Kirishima Miho's increasingly fierce attacks while sliding the Knight Card Box into his belt to complete the transformation of Mirror Knight.

"Miss Miho! Listen to me!"

Shinji Shirodo grabbed Kirishima Miho's wrist and tried to stop her anxiously, but what answered him was Kirishima Miho's increasingly angry roar. Shinji Shirodo was careless and was kicked hard in the abdomen by Kirishima Miho, losing his balance, and behind him was the glass that led directly to the mirror world.

The noisy world suddenly became extremely quiet. Before Shinji Shirodo could sort out the situation, a fist came from the side and hit Shinji Shirodo's face heavily. The force was so great that Shinji Shirodo was knocked out on the spot. He fell heavily to the ground and rolled several times before hitting the wall and stopped rolling.

"It hurts—you…"

Shinji Shirodo shook his head vigorously and looked up, but the moment he saw the other person's appearance, he was stunned, because the person standing there was himself.

And Kirishima Miho, who entered the mirror world, was standing next to him.

"Who are you?!"

"Shinji Shirodo," [Shinji Shirodo] raised the Knight Card Box in his hand and slid the Knight Card Box sideways into the belt around his waist, "Your reflection in the mirror, Mirror Knight - Dragon Fang."

"Dragon...fang?"

Shinji Shirodo was looking at the Mirror Knight in front of him, who looked exactly like him but was completely black, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Without giving Shinji Shirodo a chance to react, Longya rushed straight towards Shinji Shirodo, and his right hand quickly reached over the Knight Card Box at his waist, pulled out the Advent Card and inserted it into the reader.

Shinji Shirodo was shocked and immediately drew out the Advent Card.

【Sword Vent】

Along with a low, hoarse and strange call, a pitch-black unparalleled dragon descended from the sky, dropped a blade, and stared at the unparalleled dragon that had also arrived from a distance. The two dragons roared at each other as if they had some kind of rejection.

The blades collided, and the sparks jumped in the mask.

"Why did you attack me?!"

Shinji Kido could feel that the other party's strength was exactly the same as his, not a bit more, but it was also because of this that he clearly understood that the other party was serious about killing him.

But Shinji Kido forgot one thing, this was not a one-on-one battle with himself.

A rapier came from the side without warning and hit Shinji Shirodo's waist hard. The pain made Shinji Shirodo lose his balance in an instant. Ryuga also chopped down Shinji Shirodo's chest without mercy.

Under the pincer attack from Ryuga and Kirishima Miho, Shinji Shirodo, who had no intention of fighting, was beaten back step by step.

"Miss Miho! Don't do this! I don't want to fight you!"

While Kirishima Miho and Shirodo Shinji were trembling, Ryuga straightened up and pulled out a new Advent Card from the Knight Card Box on his waist.

【Strike Vent】

The pitch-black Wushuang dragon circled down, Longya slowly lowered his body, and a black flame ignited in the dragon head equipped on his right hand.

Shinji Shirodo, who knew the effect of this card, pushed Kirishima Miho out of the attack range of the Strong Strike Advent after being stabbed by her. He also missed the opportunity to defend himself and was knocked away by the surging flames. The Advent Card of Wings of Flame was thrown out and fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Kirishima Mihui immediately stepped forward, picked up the Advent Card and handed it to Ryuga, "Shinji, it worked!"

Ryuga ignored Kirishima Miho and stared at Shinji Shirodo who was lying on the ground. He once again placed his right hand on the Knight Card Box and slowly pulled out the final Knight Card.

"Shinji?"

【Advent】

Just as Ryuga was about to read the final advent card, another voice rang out, and a purple king cobra roared and rushed over, blocking Ryuga and Shinji Kido.

Asakura Takeshi walked out slowly with a knife in his hand.

"Hey - what are you doing?"

The Mirror Knight holding the gun in the corner breathed a sigh of relief, patted his head, and turned away.

Chapter 432: The Hero Arrives

The purple King Cobra and the black Warrior Dragon looked at each other from a distance, roaring at each other in a threatening manner.

"Hey - remember me?"

Asakura Takeshi's right hand swept across the Knight Card Box and pulled out an Advent Card from it.

"Who are you!" Not wanting to be outdone, Kirishima Miho also pulled out the Advent Card from the Knight Card Box and prepared to compete with Asakura Takeshi, the uninvited guest.

She believed that as long as she and Ryuga joined forces, they would be able to defeat any Mirror Knight who came. However, contrary to Kirishima Miho's expectations, Ryuga had no intention of fighting. He put the survival card of the Wings of Fire into the Knight's card box and turned and left.

Although she was very reluctant, since Longya had left, she had no choice but to leave with him.

"Hey! Wait! Where are you going!?"

Seeing that Ryuga ignored him, Asakura Wei chased after him angrily, and at the same time prepared to read the Advent Card to give a heavy blow to Ryuga, the bastard who actually despised him to the point of turning his back on him, but the roar of the Mirror Beast behind him stopped him in his tracks.

Asakura Takeshi turned his head and saw that the king cobra he had contracted was staring at Shinji Shirodo who was lying on the ground. The highly corrosive venom was dripping continuously, as if it was planning to have a feast.

"cut--"

Asakura Takeru reluctantly put down the Advent Card, turned around and kicked the King Cobra away, bent down, grabbed Shinji Shirodo's arm, and dragged Shinji Shirodo out of the mirror world.

It was three hours later when Shinji Shirodo woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, the big face of his colleague from the ORE newspaper office squeezed into his field of vision.

"Great! Shinji, you finally woke up."

"Shinji, are you okay? Is there any pain anywhere?"

Shinji Shiroto, whose head was buzzing from the noise made by Daisuke Okubo, immediately sat up and shook his head vigorously, "What's going on? Why am I here?"

"About this matter..." Okubo Daisuke and Shimada Nanako looked at each other, and finally their eyes stopped on Asakura Takeshi, who had occupied Kitaoka Hideichi's seat, hung his legs roughly on the desk, and closed his eyes to rest.

"Uh-well, this is probably what they call good things happening to good people," Okubo Daisuke nodded with his arms folded across his chest.

"Asakura...was it you who saved me? Thank you," After being reminded by Daisuke Okubo, Shinji Shirodo barely remembered some things. He immediately stood up and staggered to the desk to express his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

Asakura Takeshi raised his eyes and turned his chair to face Shinji Shirodo.

"Don't get me wrong, I just want revenge on that guy."

Shinji Shirodo was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he immediately touched his pocket with a nervous look on his face. After confirming that the knight card box was still there, Shinji Shirodo breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately became anxious again.

He seemed to remember that the Wings of Fire card in the Knight's card box flew out when he was knocked away, but because he was hit hard, this memory was a little fuzzy.

He desperately wanted to confirm it, but he couldn't take out the Knight Card Box in front of Daisuke Okubo and others.

"Shinji, what's wrong with you?" Okubo Daisuke asked suspiciously, "Are you hiding something from us?"

"How, how could this be!" Shinji Shirodo immediately shook his head in panic.
