Knight Asylum

After parking the car, Red walked into the empty Milk Dipper and took the elevator to the floor where Kanzaki Yui was. As soon as he walked out of the elevator, Red saw Akiyama Ren sitting on the floor leaning against the wall, looking extremely haggard.

Akiyama Lian raised her head slightly and looked in the direction of Reid. After struggling for a moment, she raised her hand and waved an Advent Card that flew towards Reid.

Reid raised his hand and took it.

What Akiyama Lian threw over was the Advent Card of Wings of the Wind.

Chapter 440: Cause of Death of Ryotaro Nogami

Reid didn't communicate much with Akiyama Ren.

Perhaps because Ogawa Eri was in a coma and her life or death was uncertain, Akiyama Ren was always silent and looked as if he was carrying a guilt burden.

But Red was sure that Akiyama Ren was a gentle person, so when Tezuka Umiyuki told him that the Advent Card of Gale Wings had been given to Akiyama Ren, he did not feel bad.

And now Akiyama Ren's act of returning the Advent Card confirmed his thoughts.

Reid raised his hand and threw Gale's Advent Card back.

"Why... are you doing this?" Akiyama Lian had no intention of picking up the Advent Card and let the Advent Card of Wings of Wind fall to the ground.

"You need it more than I do."

"I don't need sympathy!"

"But we need your help."

Qiu Shanlian was speechless.

As he walked past Akiyama Lian, Reid raised his hand and patted Akiyama Lian on the shoulder, his fingers slightly tightened.

"Lian, that's enough, it's time to move on."

Akiyama Ren dropped her hands and stopped talking. Red didn't say anything else either. He sent a text message to call the medical staff of Zhinao Group to come up and transport the students away. When he saw Ogawa Eri being carefully carried out, Akiyama Ren took a sudden step forward and stretched out his hand towards Ogawa Eri, but eventually tightened his fingers and forced himself to turn his face away.

"Lian, please take care of me tomorrow."

Reid patted Qiu Shanlian on the shoulder and followed the medical staff to leave the floor. The moment the elevator door closed, Qiu Shanlian seemed to have lost all her strength and her body went limp. If she hadn't held onto the wall in time, she would have collapsed to the ground.

"Eri..."

Qiu Shanlian staggered to the ward, holding on to the wall.

The bed was empty, but [Eri Ogawa] was still standing there.

……

"Shinji, did you eat something wrong?"

As a senior, Daisuke Okubo could tell at a glance that Shinji Shiroto was not in a good mood and asked casually.

"Haha...it's, it's okay," Shinji Shirodo scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.

In fact, he hasn't eaten a single bite since yesterday.

Okubo Daisuke paused his fingers typing on the keyboard, raised his brows slightly, turned his head to look at Shirodo Shinji, and then glanced at the seat that was usually occupied by Asakura Takeshi but was now empty, and his expression immediately became serious.

"Shinji, what happened yesterday? What did Asakura Takeru do to you? Or, that Kirishima Miho?"

"This..." Shiroto Shinji's eyes flickered for a moment and he sat up straight, "Senior, the truth...if it will hurt someone, should we still tell the truth?"

Momoi Reiko, who was working, paused and looked up at Shirodo Shinji, and slightly retracted her fingers.

"Shinji, this world is not gentle at all. It is full of all kinds of misfortunes. Revealing the truth is equivalent to making people face the misfortunes that have already happened and cannot be changed."

Okubo Daisuke let out a long breath and spoke earnestly.

"But hiding the truth is no different from lying. A life built on lies will eventually collapse."

"Just like politicians tell citizens that the sewage discharged is qualified and pollution-free," Hideichi Kitaoka added.

"But, isn't there a white lie?" Shinji Shiroto lowered his head.

If I tell Kirishima Miho that her sister can still be saved, will she still show that desperate expression?

"Shinji... In this world, there are white lies, but you also have to understand one thing. White lies do not mean escape, but for moving forward, for change."

Daisuke raised his hand and patted Shinji Shirodo's shoulder hard.

"The lies that cannot be filled must be filled with more lies, and such false hope and comfort bring real despair. At that time, what should I do?"

Shinji Kido was speechless.

What is the end point of telling Kirishima Miho that her sister who was corrupted into a mirror beast can still be transformed back?

There is nothing but despair.

"As a journalist, you'll always encounter situations where you can't handle it with a white lie, so Shinji, take your courage!"

Daiku reported that Daisuke's eyes tilted.

"Shinji, I'm sorry, this is all I can say to you now."

"No... that's enough, thank you, senior!"

Shinji Shirodo suddenly stood up and bent over to report to Daisuke Shiroku.

"Goo-"

The loud protest from his stomach made this passionate scene a little awkward. Shinji Shirodo grabbed the back of his head, smiled embarrassedly, and straightened up.

"Okay - go eat something good, and then you have to work hard!" Daisuke Okubo raised his hand and patted Shinji Shirodo's shoulder hard.

"Oh--"

Shinji Shirodo nodded vigorously, turned around and left Kitaoka Hide's family, drove his electric scooter to the place where he usually ate ramen, ordered a big bowl of ramen, and soon the hot ramen was placed in front of Shinji Shirodo, but before he started eating, one hand dragged the ramen away from the side.

The extremely familiar development made Shinji Shirodo stunned for a moment, but it was only a moment. After reacting, Shinji Shirodo raised his hand skillfully to signal the boss to make another serving of ramen.

"Asakura, there is something I want to ask you," Shinji Kido stared sincerely at Asakura Takeshi who was slurping noodles in front of him.

Asakura Takeshi didn't even raise his eyes and continued to eat noodles.

"I'm going to fight!"

Asakura paused in his gesture of stroking his face, raised his eyes and met Shinji Shirodo's sincere, unwavering eyes.

"So, Asakura! Help me!"

"Are you, stupid?"

"Yes!"

Asakura Takeshi narrowed his eyes slightly and then lowered his head to continue eating noodles.

There was some emotion that he didn't understand spreading, and he seemed to understand something.

Soon a new bowl of ramen was served, and Shinji Shirodo clasped his hands together and shouted.

"I'm gonna start now!"

On the third day as agreed, Red rode the Mobile Pegasus to Milk Dipper, took off his helmet, shook his hair vigorously, and placed the helmet on the front of the car.

Because all the staff and patients had evacuated, the entire Milk Dipper looked extremely lonely.

Soon, the roar of engines was heard, and Umiyuki Tezuka and Shinji Shirodo came on motorcycles. Umiyuki Tezuka was fine, but Shinji Shirodo's situation was a little tricky. In front of Asakura Takeshi's real long legs, Shinji Shirodo's electric scooter looked a little small and cute.

It is hard to imagine that the two of them could have come here on this electric donkey, and it is even harder to imagine that they could have gone back on this electric donkey.

However, the method used by Tojo Go and Sano Mitsuru was much more normal. They came here as taxi drivers.

"Is Mr. Akiyama not here?" Sano Mitsuru leaned his head forward and couldn't help but complain.

"Lian will come."

Reid exhaled and raised his hand.

"Let's go!"

[S·L], the seaside platform, had a name, Hill of Hope, before it was razed and rebuilt and finally abandoned due to various inconveniences.

"Nogami Airi, ma'am, right."

Nogami Airi, who was walking along the abandoned railway tracks, paused, raised her head, turned around and smiled gently.

"It's me, what can I do?"

Ming Hai raised his hand to hold up his round-brimmed hat.

"I want to ask you something, your brother."

"Ryotaro Nogami's..."

"cause of death."

Chapter 441: People who shouldn't exist, despair that never escapes

"Ryotaro... huh? Do you know that kid?"

Nogami Airi clasped her hands together and exclaimed.

"It's really surprising. You are that child's friend? That child... for some reason, few people are willing to make friends with him."

As a detective, profiling ability is the foundation of the foundation, so Ming Hai saw the true nature of the woman in front of him, named Nogami Airi, at first sight.

She is gentle, considerate and strong, a rare good woman. It is hard to imagine the woman in front of me hurting anyone.

But the moment he came face to face with Airi Nogami he was certain of one thing.

Reid's idea was not wrong. There were no superpowers or magical props, but Airi Nogami guided everything.

And here, there is a third guy.

"It was you who asked Kanzaki Shirou to do that, right? It was you who told Kanzaki Shirou that as long as the singularity was still there, time would have the possibility of being corrected no matter how many times it was modified. It was also you who hinted at Kanzaki Shirou's method of finding the singularity. I'm not sure if the actions of the Sage's Tower and the museum were related to you, but... these were all related to Kanzaki Shirou."

"There is no doubt that the entire [S·L] situation is heading in an uncontrollable and unimaginable direction, and your purpose in doing this is to allow governments... to start the lost train as they did before."

Ming Hai held up his hat and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"This is really - surprising, how do you know these things? Are you... a detective?" Nogami Airi crossed her fingers in front of her chest and exclaimed.

Ming Hai tilted his eyes, exhaled lightly, straightened up, and looked at Nogami Airi.

"The lost train will not start."

"Ah~ Who knows~"

"Even if Lost Train is used, nothing will change."

"Who knows, right, Yuto?"

Ming Hai was startled, slowly turned his head, and his pupils shrank sharply.

A man in a coat was standing at the end of the abandoned train track.

Milk Dipper

Reid raised his eyes slightly. The hospital in the real world was extremely silent, but every place that could serve as an entrance to the mirror world was crowded with various mirror beasts.

As long as they take one more step forward, they will encounter the most ferocious attack from these mirror beasts.

Reid took a step forward, raised his hand and waved it. The Aguru belt appeared around his waist, a black torrent surged out, the power of thunder flashed, and the silver fangs bit down.

Shinji Kido, Asakura Takeshi, Tezuka Kaiyuki, Tojo Go, and Sano Mitsuru each raised the knight card box in their hands in front of the mirror.

The illusory shadows overlapped on their bodies, and with just one step forward, the shadows in the mirror became reality.

"The target is Kanzaki Yui!"

Tojo Go touched the knight card box on his waist, grabbed the axe-shaped reader and rushed towards the fire escape. As Mirror Knights, their activity time in the Mirror World was prioritized. Although they could refresh the time limit by immediately transforming back into the Mirror World, they probably didn't have much time to do so with so many Mirror Beasts.

They didn't have a specific battle plan, but they all knew that Yui Kanzaki was the only core of the mirror world. As long as this core was destroyed, the mirror world would be disconnected from reality.

Then, there is only one thing left to do!

Sano Mitsuru naturally followed behind Tojo Go.

"Hey! Tojo!"

Seeing that Tojo Go actually left the team so abruptly, Shiroto Shinji shouted anxiously, but Tojo Go didn't even turn his head.

Shinji Shirodo wanted to chase, but the mirror beasts were staring at them hungrily. At this moment, Asakura Takeshi raised his foot and kicked Shinji Shirodo on the butt, then took out the weapon Advent Card from his waist and faced the mirror beasts.

"They're in the way—get out of the way. They're my prey."

"Asakura... I get it! Please!"

After hesitating for a moment, Shinji Shirodo nodded vigorously and chased after Tojo Go with Umiyuki Tezuka.
