Knight Asylum

The next morning, Red, who had not slept at all, sent Tendou Shuhua and Inamori Mayu to Amanokawa High School and then came to Minghai's office. Minghai happened to have not left yet.

"Uncle, you look good," Reid waved his hand.

Since the destruction of the museum, Ming Hai seemed to have figured something out and began to actively accept various black technology treatments. Although he is still thin, his complexion has improved a lot.

"It seems like I can still live for a long time," Narumi smiled and crossed his fingers, "So, what happened?"

After thinking for a while, Red talked about the devil first.

"Demons sealed in the hell called memory?" Ming Hai raised his head and pondered for a long time before nodding, "I think they are also behind the destruction of the museum."

"As expected of an uncle, you are very receptive," Red crossed his arms and nodded vigorously.

"In [S·L], anything can happen," Ming Hai's mouth twitched slightly, and then he raised his hand to push down his hat, "But, I know where to investigate next."

"Uncle, you are really reliable," Red sighed, scratched his face, and told him about 012.

When Ming Hai heard 012 claim that he was not a bad mechanical lifeform, his expression became a little solemn. After a long silence, he held his forehead and shook his head.

"Uncle, are there really mechanical life forms committing crimes?" Red asked tentatively.

"In fact, ever since Phoenix announced that it would put mechanical life forms into use, a certain type of crime rate has begun to rise in [S·L]."

Ming Hai thought for a while and then raised his fingers and tapped the table.

“The captured criminal claimed that he had no idea what was going on and had a sufficient alibi, but at that time, the surveillance camera at the crime scene did capture that person’s face.”

"This is not the first time this has happened. It is more common in [S·L]. After all, there are space creatures called Zerg roaming around in [S·L]."

"I see," Reid nodded.

"However, Zerg crimes have a clear goal, which is to penetrate deeper and reproduce," Ming Hai raised his index and middle fingers, "in order to obtain a safe place to lay eggs, they attack those in high positions. But the purposes of the crimes that have increased sharply recently are very scattered. Some are stealing human organs, some are gambling, and some are reselling dangerous drugs. It's not like what Zerg would do at all. It's like..."

"Common crime."

Ming Hai let out a long breath, "But these were all classified as insect crimes and did not attract much attention."

"This is really..." Red scratched his face, somewhat helplessly, "So uncle, do you suspect that the crime is committed by a mechanical life form with the same properties as the Zerg?"

"We haven't found enough evidence yet," Ming Hai said with a serious expression, "It's as if someone is deliberately erasing and downplaying these criminal records."

Reid subconsciously glanced at the ceiling.

But not everyone has the ability to erase and dilute the criminal record to the point where Ming Hai can't find the evidence.

"Anyway, I will continue my investigation. Whether it is a demon or a mechanical life form, it is definitely not a coincidence that so many troublesome things are mixed together in such a short period of time."

Ming Hai stood up and adjusted his collar.

"Red, I'll have to leave everything other than the investigation to you."

"Oh!"

Red stood up energetically and waved his arms up and down.

"The matter of the Daughter of Origin..."

Even a tough guy like Ming Hai showed an embarrassed expression at this time.

"You, don't add too many possibilities."

"I…I didn't do that."

Chapter 624 He was killed, but still alive

In the presidential suite, a middle-aged man with bloodshot eyes was sitting on the sofa, staring at the screen in front of him. On the screen, a YouTuber wearing a sarcastic headgear was commenting on the trailer of Orphino's Last Work in a contemptuous tone.

"It is full of narrow-minded racial prejudice and arrogance by the director and screenwriter."

"This final work undoubtedly reveals the last fig leaf of his living off his past achievements."

"It fools the audience and uses all kinds of gorgeous special effects to cover up the shortcomings of the plot. It looks like a grand production of nearly four hours, but in fact, more than half of the time is incomprehensible."

"The main character's behavior pattern is confusing, with all kinds of meaningless saintly behavior, which is annoying to watch."

"The hype of all the characters returning is nothing more than a cheap trick to exploit nostalgia."

"And the family's joining hands at the end was so funny that I wonder what the director and screenwriter were thinking."

"Out of 10 points, considering the previous work, I think this final work is worth about 6.8 points at most."

"If you want to watch a good movie, my advice is not to waste nearly four hours of your time."

"asshole!!!"

The middle-aged man was so angry that he picked up a chair next to him and smashed it hard on the screen, again and again, smashing the screen into pieces.

His name is Ridley Fung

The director and screenwriter of the Orphino horror thriller series has established the Orphino horror series' status in the film industry with his various exaggerated horror speculations about Orphino.

This was also the person who was living off his past glory as described by this YouTube UP host, and whose last fig leaf was revealed.

"Damn it—it shouldn't have been like this!"

Ridley Feng grabbed his hair unwillingly.

He had been preparing for this final work for a long time. His original plan was to give everyone an extremely thrilling ending, and then naturally shoot a prequel and reboot the series.

God knew that Zhinao Group would actually transform itself into a charity organization at this time, and even add such unimaginable technology as resurrection surgery to medical insurance, which really began to benefit all mankind.

With this going on, how can he continue to shoot the Orphinoth horror series of movies?

The investors also warned him in various ways not to edit the film as originally planned, but they also did not allow him to reshoot it because that would result in all the invested money being wasted.

After all, the richer a person is, the less likely he or she is to resist the temptation of resurrection surgery.

The final result is the current final work.

And those film critics who were originally following him and licking his ass instantly turned against him, coming to take advantage of him, wishing to suck him dry. All of his previous works were also dragged out to find fault with them.

He didn't care about money. His previous works had already earned him enough money to live a luxurious life for several lifetimes. He had enjoyed all he should have, so all he desired now was fame.

Because of various political factors, he became a pariah on the street, which is more painful than killing him.

After venting the negative emotions in his heart through destruction, Ridley Feng calmed down.

The situation is bad, but not hopeless. Although he despises such behavior, he has to admit that movies are the bargaining chips for capital operations.

Whether it is the investors or the film critics, they are just trying to exchange traffic for popularity.

As long as he offers enough chips, he can make those film critics deny what they said before. As long as he makes the audience realize that he has a complete version of his final work that was edited out of necessity, he still has a chance.

Until then, he has to hold on.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just the beginning."

Just as Ridley Fon took a deep breath and adjusted his state, the door was pushed open heavily and his assistant ran in in a panic.

"Director, the director is in trouble!"

"What's wrong?" Ridley Feng frowned slightly.

"Starring them, they don't plan to promote the premiere!"

"what?!"

Led by his assistant, Ridley rushed to the scene. A man and a woman wearing sunglasses were arrogantly directing their secretaries to move the luggage.

"What's going on!? We agreed on this!"

Looking at the leading actor of the Orpheus thriller series in front of him, Ridley's expression was a little distorted.

"If it weren't for me, you would still be third-rate supporting roles."

Several leading actors who did not expect Ridley to be so disrespectful were a little embarrassed. Thanks to the Orphino series, they received huge attention and huge capital support, so they were all awarded the Best Actor and Best Actress, and were praised too much. Naturally, they were not happy to be said like this.

"Director Ridley, please don't make the mistake. If it weren't for my fame, there wouldn't be so many fans supporting your low-quality thriller."

"You don't really think your thriller can get so much investment."

"Director Ridley, I advise you to be careful with your words now," a movie queen sneered and warned, "Be careful that some of your shameful things are exposed."

Ridley was stunned for a moment, then everyone's sneers made him react and his face changed drastically.

They planned to fabricate some things he had never done in order to gain traffic for themselves by taking advantage of the failure of this final work.

"If something has never been done, then it has never been done. Do you think anyone will believe this trick?"

In fact, it’s very effective.

[Suspected of having irritability]

【Special Hobbies】

[Often gives female colleagues a disgusting look]

In less than a few hours, all kinds of insults came towards Ridley like a tidal wave. There was no evidence, only vague descriptions, but everyone at this moment shared a common hatred for the enemy, and all kinds of insulting emoticons emerged one after another.

Ridley found it very funny, but what stopped him from laughing was the arrest from the S.L. Public Security Bureau.

Without even a proper wanted warrant, he was handcuffed into a police car and taken to the police station. No matter how many times he explained, the interrogator had a blank expression on his face and kept asking him the same question to make him confess.

He was interrogated day and night without sleep.

If he fell asleep, they would hit his thighs with a baton and slap him in the face to force him to wake up and continue the interrogation.

lawyer?

From the very beginning, the police here had no intention of letting him see a lawyer. He couldn't even contact his family, let alone find a lawyer.

The dim space made it impossible for him to judge how much time had passed, and he also didn't know to what extent public opinion about him had fermented.

But he knew one thing.

He has been killed, but his body is still alive and able to move, just like the monster in the movies he shot.

"Ridley, you've had enough rest, right? Confess your guilt quickly and save us some time..."

The well-fed interrogator pushed open the door, but Ridley, who was supposed to be handcuffed to a chair, was nowhere to be seen.

Chapter 625: Horrifying Death

At four o'clock in the morning, a few people who just came out of the bar were strolling in the park with bottles of wine in their hands, arm in arm, and laughing. Because they didn't know who invented the adjustment of holidays, their already few holidays were shortened again, and the next few days were their rare vacation, so they planned to indulge themselves.

And this indulgence was put at this time.

"You coward, I asked you to strike up a conversation but you didn't dare to do it. Everyone is looking at you."

"It's so noisy! I'm just a coward, so what? I'm going to change my job to become a great wizard soon!"

"Hahaha--"

"What are you laughing at? You act like you're okay with it."

"Huh? I'm not bragging, there is no one in this world that I can't pursue, only those I don't want to pursue. It's a pity that there are no girls here, so I can't show it."

"Hmm, wait a minute, is there a woman over there?"

The few people who were still laughing looked over with sleepy eyes. Under the street light, a slender figure was standing there motionless. They didn't know who she was waiting for, but from the side profile, they could guess that the other person was a very beautiful woman.

"You said you were good at it, go ahead."

"Tsk—just go ahead."

Encouraged by several people, the man was a little embarrassed to shake his head, raised his hand to push his hair back, and strode towards the woman under the street light. When he got closer, the man found that this woman was the movie queen who has been very popular in the past decade!

Although she is over 30 years old, she is well maintained.

"Hey! Hello!"

The moment he realized the other person's identity, the man immediately became nervous and trembling, while the other people who were unaware of the situation began to laugh quietly.

Humph, a bunch of little punks! I'll see if you can still laugh when I get the autograph!

The actress raised her head and her beautiful face appeared in front of the man.

The man's breath hitched.

Oh, damn, those damn wrinkles around the eyes, and the artificial marks.

Impotent...

But it doesn't matter! She is still his goddess!

"I--"
