Knight Asylum

But Kiryu Sento had just completed the research on removing the ancient magician's belt through Gaia's memory, and he had to work for Kiryu Sento again before he even offered the bonus.

Isn't this a bit too oppressive?

"What's wrong?" Kiryuu Sento frowned slightly.

"actually……"

Just as Red was about to explain the matter of the Beyond Insect Instrument, Kiryu Sento suddenly raised his hand to stop Red as if he realized something, and turned to look at Ishido Soichi who was washing cups.

"Wait a minute! Is this matter, the things involved, big?"

"Uh...big," Reid thought about it and nodded.

"Then you should step aside," Kiryu Sento issued an expulsion order to Ishido So without hesitation.

Ishido opened his mouth wide.

"...No, let the boss stay here," Red shook his head after a little thought.

"Ah~ Reid, you are such a kind child. It's true that other people's children are the best," Ishido Soichi wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.

"This way, if anything unexpected happens, I can go straight to the boss to settle the bill," Red gave a thumbs up.

"..."

"Then you can stay," Kiryuu Sento thought thoughtfully.

"Hey! This is too much! Don't think that all the bad things are done by me, okay? This is a stereotype! Didn't I help with the negotiations very seriously just now? I'm about to cry," Ishido Soichi couldn't help but complain loudly.

He admitted that he did have some bad intentions, but he was the only bad guy in this [S·L].

"That's because you think it's interesting."

Kiryu Sento, who already knew who Ishido Soichi was, didn't fall for Ishido Soichi's sympathetic act at all.

"Okay, then you guys talk," Ishidoso spread his hands, leaned on the coffee table and waved his hands.

Set it!

Because this matter has serious implications, no matter what Kiryu Sento says, he will not leave!

Anyway, there is really nothing wrong with what Kiryu Sento thinks of him.

Jie Jie Jie——

Reid held his chin in thought for a while and then explained the problem of the Insect Transcendence Instrument as simply as possible.

After saying that, Reid scratched the back of his head awkwardly, "Well - Sento, you just finished your research on the ancient magician's belt, and you should still be very tired now, so even if you refuse..."

Before Red could finish his words, Kiryu Battle Rabbit appeared in front of him and grabbed Red's shoulders. The hair on one side of his head popped up like a rabbit's ear, and his eyes lit up.

"When do I start researching? I can do it now!"

"Eh—resting?"

"Rest? What is rest?" Kiryuu Sento excitedly shook Reid back and forth.

"Physicists don't need a break! Ah~ Zerg acceleration!"

"The armor of the time train! What kind of physical properties are those? It's so good to be alive!"

"Wuhu!"

Chapter 496: Terrorists are also short of money

Red doesn't quite understand the scientists' weird XP.

Ember was like that, Seleu was like that, Red thought Kiryu Battle Rabbit would be a different firework, but in fact... Kiryu Battle Rabbit bloomed and was just as brilliant.

After saying something to U, Kiryu Battle Rabbit's laboratory was officially connected to Enbe's research lab. The moment the two saw each other through the screen, they were in awe and said a long list of formulas as if to a secret code.

If it weren't for the screen between them, the two of them would probably have hugged each other.

Considering that the next development would not be something an amateur like him could participate in, Red did not stay for long. After chatting with Embe for a few words, he left Kiryu Battle Rabbit's laboratory.

And Ishido Soichi and Manjo Ryuga stayed there.

The former seems to want to prove through his actions that he will not cause trouble, or in other words, to create an alibi, while the latter is dissatisfied with the overly tacit understanding between Ember and Kiryu Sento, and tries hard to prove to Ember that he and Kiryu Sento have a better understanding.

I can only say that it is cause for celebration.

After leaving the lab, Red went to Hide Kitaoka's family.

As a human rescue organization, Selvi Tullia had many industries in [S·L], but because it became a terrorist organization, many of its industries were blocked, resulting in a huge deficit in Selvi Tullia's cash flow.

Even now, operating funds are a problem that Sylvie Tulia has to face and is a very troublesome problem.

It costs money to maintain the containment equipment, and it costs money to conduct scientific research.

Even human rescue organizations could not avoid such huge expenses, let alone now that they have become terrorist organizations.

In the past, the channels they used to purchase materials were completely blocked. If they wanted to get such materials, they could only choose the black market, and the black market meant that the prices were much more expensive than normal prices.

And Sylvie Tullia needed more than a little.

The moment Sylvie Tullia's finance officer showed him the bill, Red had to admit that he felt a very dark emotion in his heart, which was to rush into the black market and steal everything they were selling.

but……

If the black market is looted, they will have nowhere to buy from in the future.

It's not that he hadn't thought about purchasing those materials through the Zhinao Group, but now Selvi Tullia was regarded as a thorn in the side of the United Nations, and the Phoenix Sky Fortress was aimed at Selvi Tullia.

If those materials were purchased through Zhinao Group, they would definitely be noticed by Phoenix. It is easy to avoid an open attack but difficult to guard against a hidden one.

Of course, the most important thing is that purchasing from the black market is ultimately a temporary solution. We still have to find a way to obtain formal channels for purchasing materials and be able to hide it from Phoenix so that it will not be suspected.

"it's out of the question."

Before Reid could finish his words, Kitaoka Shuichi came to a straightforward conclusion.

"Phoenix is ​​more...disrespectful of personal privacy than you think. Do you understand what I mean?" Kitaoka Hideichi crossed his fingers and shrugged his shoulders slightly.

"Have they looked for you?" Red was startled and stood up to look out the window.

He didn't sense that anyone was watching here.

"Of course, but, well - let's just use the excuse that they've been severely threatened by you to temporarily let them relax their guard against me," Kitaoka Hideichi picked up the tea and took a sip, then smiled wickedly.

"Uh... have you been found by Phoenix too?" Reid turned his head and looked at the people from ORE newspaper who were naturally occupying the living room of Kitaoka Hide's family to do their work.

"I guess so," Okubo Daisuke looked at Reid with extremely complicated feelings.

When he saw the wanted poster and learned that Sylvie Turria had betrayed humanity, he understood everything and understood why Shinji Shiroto would have a solemn expression from time to time and run around.

To be honest, because of the news of Sylvi Thurria's betrayal of humanity, all the reports he had previously written criticizing Sylvi Thurria were dug out, and the click rate soared like a rocket online, and the forwarding rate broke through the skyline. ORE Newspaper instantly became the most famous newspaper in [S·L], and the numbers in the account also soared again and again.

With this money and huge traffic investment, they can buy a piece of land in the Xingxiu District, which is about to be rebuilt, and build a building exclusively for ORE newspapers.

He flatly rejected the investments from the big bosses, donated all the money he earned from the reports, and continued to live with Kitaoka Hide's family, leading a life of hard work and dependence, and other people at ORE newspaper also acquiesced in his choice.

"Sorry to trouble you," Reid said apologetically.

"Thank you for choosing to save the city under such circumstances," Daisuke Okubo shook his head.

"It's really sentimental," Kitaoka Hideichi held his chin and smiled.

"Lawyer Kitaoka, is this the time to talk about this?" Momoi Reiko looked helpless.

"Okay, okay, Miss Lingzi, you are right," Kitaoka Hideichi spread his hands, "Well - my suggestion is to go to the Hongshang Foundation."

"Hongshang Fund..." Reid's face was full of confusion.

Hongshang Fund is indeed the best choice.

However, Hongshang Fund is definitely not the best choice.

"If possible, I don't want to trouble President Hong Shang."

"You probably don't want to be involved in President Hong Shang's plan without knowing it," Kitaoka Hideichi smiled.

"Ahem - sort of," Red coughed, his eyes flickering.

Logically, he should trust Hong Shang Guangsheng, but Hong Shang Guangsheng always acted suspiciously at certain times and hid things, which made him unable to fully trust Hong Shang Guangsheng.

And this seemed to be something that Mitsuo Hongo did deliberately.

It's just like the relationship between people and desires described by Mitsuo Hongo.

People can use the power of desire, but they must never trust desire.

"Okay, okay, I can understand your idea, but this is troublesome," Kitaoka Hideichi sat up straight, frowned and began to think seriously.

"Not only do you have to raise money, you also have to smooth over relationships and get procurement channels, and before you get all of this done you have to avoid being noticed by Phoenix."

"So you're here to consult lawyer Kitaoka," Reid smiled.

"That's a heavy burden of trust," Kitaoka Hideichi turned his chair and complained heartlessly, "Why not just sink the Phoenix? Terrorists should act like terrorists."

Reid's eye twitched.

"Everyone! I'm back! I got big news!"

At this moment, Shinji Shirodo rushed in shouting, holding a sports camera in his hand. When he saw Reid, his eyes lit up.

"Red, I filmed the entire process of Phoenix's first rescue, and I thought you might be interested!"

Chapter 497: Timely Rain, Re-acceleration

The abnormal force twisted the building's supporting points, causing it to collapse in an instant. People screamed and fled. In [S·L], this was a common occurrence.

But in the picture, this process was extremely slow. The sound of buildings collapsing, people screaming, all the movements were stretched out.

"Shinji, how did you shoot this?" Okubo Daisuke couldn't help but complain, "Can't you just adjust it to a normal speed?"

"Senior, this is the normal speed," Shinji Shirodo pointed to the number displayed below the progress bar.

"Call the editor-in-chief!"

"I know, senior, here comes the point," Shiroto Shinji muttered and pointed to the lower right corner of the screen, "It's right here."

As soon as Shinji Shirodo finished speaking, a man appeared from the place where Shinji Shirodo pointed. In this slow world, he moved at a very normal speed, pushing all the fallen rocks inward to reduce the scope of damage, and sent the citizens who were fleeing at an extremely slow speed out of the disaster area.

"What is this phenomenon?" Okubo Daisuke asked with a face full of question marks.

"I don't know," Shiroto Shinji shook his head very honestly and complained, "Besides, only the location where the building collapsed slowed down, and other places were not affected."

The scene just happened to change direction and came to the direction of the citizens who were sent out. They were gasping for breath with fear on their faces and staring in the direction of the building in disbelief.

The world that is so slow that it is almost frozen and the world with a normal flow rate are incompatiblely embedded in the same picture.

Reid narrowed his eyes slightly.

This is completely opposite to the acceleration of the Zerg themselves, and looking at the changes in the eyes of the citizens who were slowed down, their own consciousness did not seem to be affected by the slowdown.

"Shinji, can I have a copy of this video?"

"Sure. I was, ahem - planning to tell you this," Shirodo Shinji subconsciously looked at Okubo Daisuke, and after the latter nodded, he coughed and handed the sports camera in his hand to Reid in a serious manner.

"There's no need for a backup. We're just writing a report about the Phoenix rescue anyway, and the video is just for reference."

"Thanks," Red put the sports camera into his pocket, hesitated for a moment and then said, "Also, the fact that I was here..."

"I will report everything to Phoenix and tell them why you are here," Kitaoka Hideichi yawned, paused, put a recorder on the table, and added, "Don't worry, I've recorded it."

"Yes, yes, eh!?" Shinji Shirodo widened his eyes and stared at Kitaoka Hideichi with disbelief.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll leave it to you, Lawyer Kitaoka," Reid shrugged.

"Eh!??"

Shinji Shirodo's eyes widened even more.

"Are you, an idiot? Do you think Phoenix doesn't know what kind of problems Servier Turia is facing now?" Kitaoka Hideichi rolled his eyes. "Using the information Phoenix already knew to gain their trust and make things easier, isn't this a profitable business?"

"Ah~"

Shinji Shiroto suddenly realized.

"If you understand, then stop smiling like an idiot. You don't want to be suspected by Phoenix, do you?" Kitaoka Hideichi waved his hand.

"Oh oh!" Shinji Shirodo immediately nodded his head vigorously like a chick pecking at rice, then turned around and tried to make a hostile expression towards Reid.

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

"……come on."

After saying goodbye to Shinji Shirodo and others, Reid immediately uploaded the video footage from the sports camera to the private server currently used by Selvi Turia via Mobile Pegasus.
