Knight Asylum

"Well, this guy definitely went to pick up someone."

Although he had only spent a few days with Hong Yinye, Red already knew Hong Yinye's personality very well.

However, judging from Hong Yinye's reply, it was most likely that he was flatly rejected by Sonosaki Saeko.

"Uncle, what do you think of Sonosaki Saeko?"

"Sonozaki Saeko?" Ming Hai pondered for a moment and shook his head, "A pathetic person."

"Isn't it sad? Come to think of it, the old man of the Sonosaki family doesn't seem to like his eldest daughter," Reid recalled how Sonosaki Saeko behaved when facing Sonosaki Ryu's guards.

Humble and cowardly, he seemed afraid to speak as long as the guards of Sonosaki Ryu raised their voices a little louder.

"It's clear that the Gaia Memory business is basically managed by this eldest daughter."

"Guards Ryu Sonosaki believe that the Sonosaki family is the chosen family of the Earth, and that Sonosaki Saeko is simply too ordinary in this family."

Ming Hai sighed.

He had been investigating Gaia's memory for a long time, so he understood Saeko Sonosaki's delicate situation in the Sonosaki family much better than Red did.

What kind of outcome will this delicate situation lead to...

"Red, your primary target is the Son of Earth," Ming Hai exhaled, his eyes gleaming, "Whether it's Consortium X, Dai Shocker, or those evils whose true identities are still unknown, their goal this time is to connect with the Son of Earth."

"So that's how it is. As long as we have the Son of Earth in our hands, we can ensure that those guys won't point their spearheads somewhere else," Reid understood what Ming Hai meant.

"No, you should kill the Son of Earth."

A mysterious woman wearing sunglasses and a mask appeared behind Red and Ming Hai like a ghost.

"Ma'am, we are detectives, not thugs. If you want to hire someone to kill someone, you should find someone more professional," Ming Hai seemed to have expected the mysterious woman to appear. He sighed lightly and had no intention of looking back.

"That child can no longer be considered a human being, but a demon, Red. You should understand the consequences of her curiosity."

The mysterious woman, knowing that she had no chance of convincing Ming Hai, looked at Red.

"Ma'am, don't push your own education problems onto your children..."

Red paused and raised a finger.

"I will save her, and I will also make her count her sins, whether she can count them all or not."

Chapter 577: The Prologue of Fear

It was 20:15, with still 15 minutes before the ball was to start. The president's office in the Zhinao Group Building was extremely quiet and dim due to the departure of Reid and others.

Qiao stood in front of the French window, looking down at the Xingxiu District which was under reconstruction, and remained speechless.

“Why don’t you turn on the light?”

With a crisp sound, light dispelled the darkness. Qiao lowered her head and turned to look. Metzler was standing at the switch, looking at her with a smile.

Mazel put her hands behind her back, stretched her legs, and walked slowly along the edge of the office.

"Why didn't you go to the dance?"

"What about you? Why don't you go to the dance?" Qiao turned the chair around, sat down, folded his arms across his chest, and didn't even want to look at Metzger.

"Because I have no reason to go to the ball, of course."

Metzger bent down and smiled sweetly at Qiao's back.

"Timelines are really wonderful things, aren't they?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Qiao tilted his head, his voice extremely flat.

"Hahaha - coincidence, you don't have to be so wary of me, you must know what I mean."

Metzl laughed a few times and came to the French window. Her eyes, reflecting the night sky, suddenly became extremely deep.

"The Golden Fruit, the Daughter of Origin, U must have told you about these two things."

Qiao's eyes moved but he didn't say anything.

"I saw myself in the future... the daughter of origin. Ah~ It's incredible. I am Greeed, but I can become the daughter of Red and the mother of a civilization."

Metzl lowered her head, her shoulders trembled slightly, and the curve of her mouth continued to expand. With the flow of O coins, Metzl turned into Greeed's form, but soon changed back.

"However, this future was flawed from the moment I participated in the dance in order to get what I needed, which led to unsatisfactory results."

"So, my future self came back to this time on purpose so that I could get what I needed in advance. The flaw has disappeared."

Mazel tilted her head to look at Qiao, a paranoid gleam in her eyes.

"I will become the daughter of origin and let Red have the golden fruit. Although the flaws have been eliminated, there are still other guys who will prevent Red from getting the golden fruit, so for Red..."

"I can't be Red's daughter of origin."

Mazel was stunned for a moment, then she tutted in dissatisfaction, "I've been so honest, or do I really have to say it myself?"

"You are the person I think is most likely to become the daughter of Red's origin."

"I...can't be."

Qiao looked at his own palms, and slowly clenched his fingers as if he wanted to retain something.

museum.

As the dark nobles who were once the sponsors of Servius Tullia, the ball held by the Sonosaki family was naturally very grand. However, no matter how grand the decorations were, they seemed extremely strange and out of place in front of the half-collapsed ruins of the Sonosaki family.

The guests couldn't help but look at the ruins that were so close.

Guard Sonosaki Ryu is a person with a very strong sense of self-esteem and will never allow the Sonosaki family to show their embarrassing side in front of others.

They naturally knew that the Sonozaki family had been attacked, but with the financial resources and power of the Sonozaki family, they could repair the damaged areas in minutes.

This unusual behavior gave them a very ominous premonition.

Ming Hai, who looked out of place in his round-brimmed hat as no one was talking to him, did not hide his gaze and stared at the ruins quite openly.

At the same time, Red, who was observing the dance scene in the museum from a distance, received a report from the on-site containment team member Yukiya Fuyuba.

"We found the people from Consortium X. They have no intention of hiding their identities."

"Is this true? Hey..."

Reid simply stood up and transformed into Ultimate Kuuga, his senses fully open. Just as Fuyuba Yukiya reported, there were several people in white uniforms gathered at the scene. One of them was a man with a slicked-back hair and an expressionless face who had a Gaia Memory.

This is also the only [power] that Consortium X has that Red has observed. Including the man with the slicked-back hair, all the people from Consortium X present are ordinary people.

Red thought of the rumors he had heard not long ago.

Consortium X has invested a lot of money in the museum's Gaia Memory Project. Now the technology of Gaia Memory is mature. As long as there are enough resources and a technical prototype, anyone can mass-produce Gaia Memory.

If Consortium X wants to obtain the full value of Gaia's memory, then the museum itself is the biggest obstacle, and Guard Sonosaki Ryu obviously thinks so.

Using only Gaia Memory, Consortium X could not be a match for Sonosaki Ryu's guards, so Consortium X only brought one Gaia Memory to the ball...

It was a gesture of goodwill, but it had no intention of helping the museum survive this [catastrophe].

"The adult world is so dirty and cruel," Red held onto the tree trunk and shook his head.

But the most troublesome thing now is Cha Yin.

He didn't know how strong Killbus and Blood were, but he knew Kiryu Sento's character. Since they could make Kiryu Sento make props without saying a word, they must be quite troublesome.

And now he was completely unaware of Chain's presence.

If it is just a pure struggle of power, Gaia Memory cannot be considered as the top power, but in terms of versatility and bells and whistles, Gaia Memory is definitely top-notch.

After all, what this world lacks the least is abstract words.

"Battle Rabbit, how are things going over there?" Reid switched the communication channel.

Soon, Kiryu Sento's calm voice sounded in Red's ears.

"No problem, don't worry."

"please."

The melodious and grand music sounded, adding a romantic touch to the night. All the guests, even Ming Hai, looked in surprise at Hong Yinye who was playing the violin so elegantly.

You know it and I know it, but we are both silent, quietly waiting for the outbreak of the [war]. This dance party is just a false lie, but Hong Yin also plays music for this lie very seriously.

"This guy……"

Listening to the music coming from the communication channel, Reid raised the corners of his mouth.

Amid the grand music, guard Sonosaki Ryu appeared in everyone's sight, and the Sonosaki family's special driver on his waist gradually shattered the false smiles that had just appeared on the guests' faces.

"Everyone is welcome to the dance at the Sonosaki family's residence."

Under the stunned gaze of everyone, Guard Sonosaki Ryu pulled out Gaia's memory and pressed it.

【Terror——】

An ominous black fog, accompanied by strange arcs of electricity, spread around Guard Sonosaki Ryu's body. In the strange and oppressive halo, Guard Sonosaki Ryu's body transformed into Terror's Dopant. His terrifying and invisible posture awakened the emotion called fear in everyone present.

Chapter 578: The invincible muscular boy in the galaxy!

This is how U describes Terror Gaia Memory

Terror Gaia Memory, proof of the Sonosaki family and the museum's rulers, the invincible Gaia Memory.

No matter how brave a person is, there is fear in their heart, and the Terror Gaia memory can forcibly induce fear and continuously stack marks to amplify the fear.

Overcoming and being subjected to fear again and again, the human will is like a steel wire that is repeatedly bent in the fight against fear, and one day it will break.

And the moment courage is shattered by fear, defeat follows.

In most cases, Sonosaki Ryu's guards don't even need to take action, they just stand there and the enemy will collapse.

It's simply a fish crusher.

However, Red, who had faced Terror Gaia's memory more than once, did not feel the feeling that U said of his will being repeatedly bent in the confrontation with fear.

Kiryu Sento and Manjo Ryuu, who have also faced Terror Gaia's memory, seem to be unaffected by it.

So in Red's eyes, Terror Gaia Memory is pretty weak.

But now it seems that the ability of Terror Gaia's memory is not exaggerated.

At the ball, almost everyone was pale, their legs were trembling, and they looked as if they had seen the most terrifying life form in the world.

The members of the containment team disguised as a band were also affected by the Terror and could no longer play as before, but they were unable to stop playing due to fear. The originally orderly and melodious music suddenly changed its tune and became strangely distorted.

The maids and servants of the Sonosaki family took out the Gaia memory from behind their backs with empty eyes and implanted it into their bodies.

The high-end and stylish dance party instantly turned into a carnival night for monsters.

Reid frowned.

Although they knew from the beginning that this was not a simple dance, neither he nor the other invited guests expected that the guards Sonosaki Ryu would be so direct.

"Everyone, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? The dance has just begun."

Guard Sonosaki Ryu, who had transformed into a Terror Dopant, opened her arms and asked kindly as if nothing had happened.

Under the catalysis of intense fear, some people collapsed to the ground, while others clenched their fists tightly with cold sweat on their foreheads.

"Or... do any of you have other ideas about me and the Sonosaki family?"

The moment Guard Sonosaki Ryu's voice fell, someone screamed and ran away, and someone whispered the identity of the fugitive.

"Isn't that the Senate member who works for the Defense Bureau, Soichi Makage?"

“Is the museum planning to become an enemy of the country?”

The escape of Zhenying Soichi opened the floodgates of fear. The originally stalemate balance collapsed instantly. More people began to retreat, while some people began to breathe heavier and revealed ferocious expressions.

Yes, fear will not only make people run away in fear, it may also make people use violence to cover up their behavior, and violence comes from malice in the heart. Only those who have malice towards the museum and want to take advantage of this dance to destroy the museum will face fear and launch an attack in self-destruction.

"The old man of the Sonozaki family is quite good."

Red, who had been watching, followed the real shadow of Zhuangyi.

That person is indeed Soichi Makage, a senator who works in the Defense Bureau, but he is not a human.

"A mechanical life form? Can it be used like this?"

That’s right, that real shadow, Zhuangyi, is a mechanical life form.

How could the country turn a blind eye to the Son of the Earth, who could investigate the secrets of the Earth at will, and the ball in the museum? But how could the top leaders of the country risk being killed instantly by stray bullets and come to attend the ball?

Mechanical life forms that can replicate humans are the best choice.

The presence of people representing state authority demonstrated their presence without them having to worry about being killed at random.
