Knight Asylum

"Wait - isn't the most important thing right now the Zerg plan?" Reid stretched out his hand to stop Kiryu Battle Rabbit.

After struggling for a while, Kiryuu Sento sat down.

"To be honest, I don't know the Zerg's plan..."

Lugia smiled awkwardly, and when he saw everyone's faces darken, he immediately sat up straight.

"I can't remember what happened before. I have been honing my cooking skills since I regained consciousness. Other Zerg have never come to find me. As for the plan..."

Lugia hesitated for a moment and then spoke slowly.

"When my consciousness was cloudy, I could hear a voice telling me to copy humans as quickly as possible and hide."

"So, you killed the original Mr. Lugia?" The team leader on the side widened his eyes.

"No - I didn't kill that man. He was about to die." Lugia hid his hands in his sleeves and raised his head proudly.

Red pinched the bridge of his nose and waved his hand, signaling others not to deliberately play the bad guy.

Lugia wasn't lying.

He did not come to this conclusion for metaphysical reasons such as intuition.

After Lugia left yesterday, he contacted Murakami Kyoji and U to look for the real Lugia based on Lugia's face.

The real Lugia is dead, but he was not killed by the Zerg. Instead, he took too many banned drugs, which led to organ failure and death.

The reason why the real Lugia did that was...very realistic and helpless.

The real Lukia was a two-Michelin-star chef who hadn’t broken through three stars for years, and under this extreme pressure, his restaurant was downgraded.

The real Lugia could not bear the pressure and chose to put an overdose of banned drugs into his unfinished main course to end his life.

By coincidence, a Zerg that was looking for a clone to hide its identity discovered the dying Lugia.

He cloned Lugia, obtained all of Lugia's memories and cooking skills, and began to hone his cooking skills under the urging of that obsession.

So the question is, is the Lugia in front of him the Lugia that has occupied the body of the Zerg, or the Zerg that has put on everything that Lugia has?

The answer is, neither.

The Zerg Lugia's behavior is completely different from Lugia's. Sometimes, it will show a cold expression like an arthropod, but that is often when Lugia is explaining his views on cooking skills. The eyes that are eager to prove that his skills have already reached the pinnacle cannot be faked.

And that bowl of miso soup was a message from someone to him.

Although they were different at the beginning, judging from the results, Lugia is a special insect just like Kusakabe Xu.

There is no harm to humans.

However, there is one thing that Lugia said that is quite concerning.

Reid looked at Kiryu Sento, and Kiryu Sento happened to be looking at him as well. The moment their eyes met, Reid was sure that Kiryu Sento had also noticed the problem.

【sound】

The period of cloudy consciousness mentioned by Lugia probably refers to the period when the Zerg were still trying to copy Lugia.

This is how many experts describe the behavior of the Zerg.

The will of the insect.

Zerg clones behave just like insects, all out of instinct.

But instinct alone is not enough to consciously copy a human being, sow discord, or frame others, which require above-average intelligence.

Killing each other and eliminating each other is the instinct of life. The lower the intelligence, the more difficult it is to get rid of this instinct. Even humans have only done so in a more advanced way. The Zerg are ridiculously united, as united as puppets.

Behind the alien insects, there is something like a core.

……

"Damn it—damn it—"

The man in the high-end chef's uniform kicked over the trash can.

He was the head chef of a famous restaurant and enjoyed the admiration of everyone. But ever since that Lugia came to the restaurant to challenge him, he entered a low period and all the food he made was inedible.

And today, he was fired.

"Damn it—it's all that guy's fault!"

The man kept stepping on the garbage on the ground as if it was Lugia's face.

"Ah~ This smell of malice is about to overflow~"

At the entrance of the alley, Ortega emerged.

Olutega's mocking smile made the man feel a surge of evil fire.

"What do you mean!?"

"Nothing, it's just that, do you need to sign a contract with the devil?"

Olutega took out a seal with a locust relief from his back.

Chapter 667: The Hungry Man About to Die

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Wearing a kimono, Lugia sat upright with his hands in his sleeves, as dignified as a samurai. It seemed that no matter whether he lived or died, Lugia would face the outcome calmly.

"Even if I have a lot of questions, you can't answer them, right?"

Reid put his hands behind his head and relaxed.

"Ah, that's it. How did you manage to cut up a fish without the fish even knowing how it died?"

Seeing that the thing he cared about had finally come to light, Kiryu Sento also sat up straight, put his hands on his knees and nodded vigorously.

"Hmph - my sword is faster than light." Lugia smiled calmly, stood up, and pulled his hands free. "Alright! I'll let you see my sword..."

The thin, pale-faced man opened the door.

"Well, um...is there any space? I'm so hungry."

"Are you okay?! When was your last meal?!"

As a lobby manager and team leader, this man had to meet countless people and had been hungry for at least three days.

"five……"

"Five days ago?!"

Sonoda Mari covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"Five minutes ago."

“Eh——” Everyone present exclaimed.

Even Medusa could tell that the man had been hungry for a long time, but he said he had just eaten five minutes ago.

Red raised his brows slightly, turned around, took out a dish from the molecular food processor and handed it to the man. The man's eyes glowed green and he snatched the plate and swallowed all the food into his mouth. The horrible way of eating reminded Red of the parents of the heroine in Spirited Away who were about to turn into pigs.

In less than ten seconds, the man licked the plate clean.

"Are there any more? I'm so hungry! Please, I can give you money, all the money I have!"

The man's eyes glowed green. He pulled out his wallet, took out all the cards from it and stuffed them into the hand of the nearest person, Mari Sonoda. He then grabbed Mari Sonoda's arm, and his terrifying aura seemed as if he wanted to eat Mari Sonoda.

"It hurts—wait, don't do this—"

Mari Sonoda felt a chill coming over her, and just as she was about to struggle to stand aside, Reid stood up and punched the man in the face with a powerful punch.

The man fell straight down on the spot.

Sonoda Mari blinked her eyes and felt her face getting hot. She scratched her face and said shyly, "Ah, I didn't expect you to care about me so much, but I didn't do it..."

Red bent down and unbuckled the man's belt.

"Hey - there's really no need to go to this extent!" Sonoda Mari covered her face and complained loudly.

At this time, Kurim and Kiryu Battle Rabbit also noticed the abnormality. They squatted down, and together they lifted the man's clothes from the left and right, and a big belly popped out.

"Wow - this is really an amazing phenomenon." Philip's eyes widened slightly, and he squeezed next to Red with his chin held high, raised his right foot in short boots and kicked the man's stomach.

"He's almost eaten his stomach to pieces, but he still looks like he's starving to death."

"Don't kick him if you know his stomach is about to explode," Red grabbed Philip's ankle.

"What the hell is going on?" Kiryu Sento tapped the man's big belly with his fingers, looking puzzled.

"Battle Rabbit! Stop knocking!"

Red reached out again to stop Kiryu Battle Rabbit.

Just when everyone was puzzled, the door that had just closed was pushed open again, and several people who were as pale and thin as the men, but with stomachs that were about to explode, staggered in.

"Please! Is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry!"

"I have money, bring all your dishes here!"

"I'm starving!"

Red and Kiryuu Sento looked at each other and stood up at the same time.

"welcome!"

Say welcome with a smile, but strike hard.

Something was clearly wrong with these people, and in order to avoid the out-of-control situation just now, they decided to strike first.

Kulim rushed out of the store.

It was definitely not a coincidence that four people came to their store in a row with their stomachs about to burst but looking starving.

But outside the store, it was peaceful, people were coming and going, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

coincidence?

Kulim was a little skeptical, but the most important thing now was the few people who had collapsed in the store.

After some discussion, the team leader called the hospital and the ambulance arrived soon. After carrying the four people into the ambulance one by one, Reid and others were not idle either. They immediately returned to the Optimus Prime-style container base parked in the corner.

Kiryu Battle Rabbit hacked into the surrounding surveillance cameras on the spot.

The surveillance cameras did capture the figures of the four people, but there was nothing special about them. They were just eating from one store to another.

The pale and skinny man at the beginning was not lying. They had just walked out of a ramen restaurant five minutes ago.

And twenty minutes ago they had just walked out of KFC eating chicken legs and drinking Coke.

The way they ate did look delicious, but when she thought about how they were still stuffing so much into their stomachs, Mari Sonoda felt a little nauseous and subconsciously covered her mouth.

"How do they eat so much?"

"Who knows, but humans are not the kind of creatures that will be eaten to death," Kiryu Battle Rabbit scratched his hair and kept adjusting the probe. Unfortunately, the monitoring range of the probe was limited and there were many blind spots. From time to time, the four people would disappear from the screen.

Maybe something happened in the meantime.

"Anyway, let's split up and take a look at those places," Red took out his cell phone and took a few photos.

"Well, Red, I'll go with you!" Sonoda Mari immediately raised her hand and shouted, then she actively grabbed Red's arm and jumped out of the container base.

Qiao turned his head to look at Xiao Xing and Baluba, "Please give me your guidance."

Whether in terms of life level or status, Baluba is not comparable to Qiao, but Qiao's relaxed aura makes Baluba inexplicably nervous.

"Is there anything you want to say?"

After being pulled by Mari Sonoda for a distance, Red pulled out his arm and hooked it around Mari Sonoda's shoulder. Mari Sonoda, who was already petite, looked even smaller after being pressed down by Red.

"Ahem - actually it's related to the calendar," Sonoda Mari coughed and raised her hand to cover Reid's face.

"Eh - has your relationship become this good? Don't worry, she won't become the Daughter of Origin," Reid shook his head.

"Great, wait a minute! Who's worried about this!" Sonoda Mari subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly reacted, blushing and bumping into Reid to vent her dissatisfaction.

After venting, Sonoda Mari became curious again.

"Why are you so sure?"

"Huh? Of course it's because she and I agreed not to become the Daughter of Origin," Reid raised his head with great confidence.

"Oh, is that so?" Sonoda Mari raised her eyes, "That's really reassuring. Do you want to make a promise with me now?"

"Hey - will you comply?"

"Who the hell knows! Don't show such a surprised expression!"
