Knight Asylum

"Interesting, asking for payment from the god of death."

Chapter 675: Are your clothes decent?

Crowded, dirty, houses of different styles are piled up crookedly, like cancer cells, layer upon layer, and the colorful signs make Red's head hurt.

Compared to here, the subway station is quite clean.

Reid shook his phone. Selvi Turia had already found out about Doctor Qianjing, a famous scientist who was dedicated to the development of the human body and had successfully developed super powers.

Of course, it is more like human experimentation than human development.

According to the information provided by the homeless man, the promising doctor is now developing super powers in the Ansu area.

This is a good choice. After all, no one would care no matter how many homeless people there are. They are ghosts in the gray area of ​​society.

Since it is used to develop super powers, it is not impossible to test the performance of Gaia Memory and obtain data. People with special talents seem to be able to evolve Gaia Memory. If it is a super power, it should be able to evolve Gaia Memory.

Data shows that some Gaia memories will change the human body when overwriting human memory, allowing the user to exert some superpowers even after the Dopant is removed.

If this secret can be solved, research on super powers will be able to achieve breakthrough progress.

There is no conflict of interest between Dr. Qianjing and the museum, and a win-win situation can even be achieved.

Dr. Qian’s research is the museum’s legacy.

Such a formula is not impossible.

The question that remains is where Dr. Prospect conducts his human experiments.

This is the largest slum in [S·L] and it's no joke. The buildings are intricately arranged and each one looks like it's in danger of collapse, but they are piled together and rely on bugs to maintain their existence. It feels like if they move a little, it will cause continuous collapse.

After a brief thought, Red came up with a good idea. Under the subtle gazes of the homeless people around him, Red stood on the garbage pile, cleared his throat and shouted to the sky.

"Doctor Qianjing! Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist! Don't force me to find you out!"

After shouting, Red jumped down as if nothing had happened.

"What are you doing?" Medusa's expression was a little subtle.

Didn’t we agree not to keep a low profile when we came here?

"To alert the enemy~ Who do you think would jump out and shout to surrender without even knowing where the enemy is?"

Red shrugged and turned to head towards a less crowded alley.

Medusa hesitated for a moment and then followed Red and said slowly, "Brainless idiot."

"If you are a tough guy who has cooperated with Consortium X and the museum to develop human bodies in this slum, and you know someone is asking you to surrender in the street, what will you do?"

Red held up his finger and waved it left and right.

Medusa immediately understood what Red meant.

Homeless people are also a resource, but not everyone is qualified to use them for human development experiments in the largest slum.

Dr. Qianjing probably has a lot of spies in this slum, and the news that an idiot asked him to surrender in the street will soon reach Dr. Qianjing's ears.

Now the news that Sonosaki Saeko has the museum's inheritance in her hands is spreading everywhere, and various forces are secretly moving towards this slum. Doctor Qian, who is most likely to be implicated, will definitely send his people to observe Red to see which organization sent Red.

It is much more efficient to let the other party come to you on their own initiative than to search for clues aimlessly in the slums.

But...is Dr. Qianjing really that easy to be fooled?

The answer is, yes.

A few pieces of gravel flew past Red's ears like bullets, leaving a big hole on the ground. The power was like that of a sniper rifle, making Red raise his eyebrows in surprise. He looked in the direction of the attacker and was about to speak when he froze in place.

He was attacked by several women.

She was wearing a white velvet long-sleeved shirt that just covered one-third of her thighs and her underwear would be exposed if she moved a little. She was also wearing white stockings and long boots, which looked very indecent.

Red's original plan was to kill the people sent by Dr. Prospect in seconds, negotiate with them with both reason and emotion, and then successfully obtain Dr. Prospect's location.

But after seeing Dr. Qianjing's men, Red felt that he needed to adjust his tactics, such as pretending to be defeated...

Before Red could think about what to do after pretending to be defeated, Medusa, who was standing behind Red, had already opened the mouth of her hood to reveal her eyes.

The petrified eyes lit up, and before the women could understand what was happening, they lost consciousness and turned into stone statues.

Reid's mouth twitched and he looked at Medusa.

"Don't worry, you can change back," Medusa glanced at Reid. He knew that he would be petrified if he looked into her eyes, but he still looked at her without any guard.

Are they extremely confident in their own abilities, or are they simply trusting one another?

If it is my sage, it must be out of pure trust.

"I'm going to remove the petrification on their heads right now. Why do you look so lost?"

"Uh...no, nothing, Medusa, thank you for your help," Reid turned his eyes away guiltily.

Medusa frowned slightly, but did not ask any further questions. She controlled her magic power to release the petrification on the woman's head.

The woman regained consciousness and saw Red and Medusa standing opposite her. She immediately remembered her mission. She tried to move but couldn't feel her limbs at all. Then she realized that the part below her neck was petrified, and her teammates had all turned into lifelike and creepy stone statues.

"If you scream, you'll be stuck like this for the rest of your life."

The woman who subconsciously wanted to scream suppressed her fear and nodded with a pale face.

"The rest is up to you," Medusa moved aside.

Red coughed and walked forward with a serious expression that made the woman's heart skip a beat.

"You...all of you are wearing clothes like this?"

"what?"

The corners of Medusa's mouth twitched fiercely, and she suddenly understood why Red showed a regretful expression after she simply petrified all the attackers.

"This is our uniform," although she didn't know why Reid asked this question, Medusa on the side showed a very scary expression, so the woman did not dare to hesitate and answered quickly.

"Hey - Doctor Qianjing has something."

"Ahahaha——" The woman, not knowing how to react, could only smile awkwardly.

"Ahem - actually, we are here to join you -"

Red opened his arms and smiled widely.

"I heard that Dr. Qian Jing is researching super powers, and it just so happens that we also have super powers."

"You've already seen her superpower. Anyone who looks into her eyes will be petrified."

The woman's cheeks trembled and she revealed a smile that was uglier than crying.

No one believed that Red was here to join them, but she was petrified. What else could she say? For the sake of her own life, she could only play along with Red.

"So, what is your superpower?"

“Rich.”

Chapter 676: Still calling you master?

After introducing his superpowers, Red asked Medusa to remove the other petrified states. After all, he was not here to kill people.

Medusa was a little unhappy, but she did it anyway.

The other women fell to the ground and looked at Red and Medusa in horror the moment they were freed from petrification. Although the petrification process took less than a second, they still saw themselves being petrified starting from their fingertips.

"Please take me to see Dr. Prospect," Reid put his hands on his hips and smiled very kindly.

The people sitting on the ground looked at each other for a while and then looked to the woman who was still standing for help.

"Well, I can't bring you to the master," the woman had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak under the gaze of Red and Medusa, "If we bring others into the island without the master's permission... we will be executed."

"Hey - Master, you are having quite a lot of fun," Red sighed and turned to look at Medusa.

"..."

"You want me to call you master?" Medusa said expressionlessly.

"Haha, how could that be—" Red smiled awkwardly and avoided Medusa's sight. After thinking for a while, he raised his finger and said, "Okay, then you just need to take us to the vicinity of that island, and then you go in and inform your master."

The woman hesitated to speak.

Her intuition told her that taking Red and Medusa off the island was no different from bringing them inside, but the feeling of being petrified just now was still lingering on her, and Medusa was staring at them with malicious eyes.

Taking Red and Medusa off the island might result in Dr. Prospect's execution, but if he refused now, he would definitely be petrified again by Medusa.

Finally the woman nodded and agreed.

The others also understood the situation and stood up carefully.

"Please come with me."

The woman raised her hand.

On the way to Dr. Prospect's island in the slums, Red learned a lot.

The woman's name was Nami. She was not a native of [S·L]. She came to [S·L] six years ago with the idea of ​​getting rich quickly. However, she was defeated by the reality in less than half a year. However, she was too embarrassed to go back, so she ended up becoming a homeless person and came to this slum. After two years of living in a daze, she was taken in by Doctor Qianjing and underwent an experiment to develop her super powers.

Others are in a similar situation.

Their superpowers are basically telekinesis, which can throw surrounding objects like bullets and form barriers.

As for the museum's heritage, they had heard of the rumor, but they had not used Gaia memory in the process of human development. However, they had used superpowers to deal with thugs who used Gaia memory.

As they walked, Nami brought Red and Medusa to an underground facility that looked like a subway entrance.

"The master's island is right below here," Nami cautiously probed, "We can only bring you here, but! We will notify the master immediately!"

"Well, go ahead," Red smiled kindly and waved his hand.

Nami and the others breathed a sigh of relief, lowered their heads, walked through the entrance of the underground facility, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

He didn't intend to make things difficult for these people, but he intended to make things difficult for Dr. Qianjing.

Although Nami was vague about the human body development experiments and did not explain them in detail, Red still vaguely realized that Dr. Qianjin was not a good person. The super power development experiments, whether it was [collecting materials] or development, had nothing to do with humanity.

Just as Red was wondering whether he should just call in right now, a man's voice sounded from behind him.

"Wow? There is actually someone who is eyeing the same prey as the Grim Reaper."

He is crazy and arrogant, and he comes with bad intentions.

Reid raised his head and after a brief pause, he looked to the side. A team that looked well-trained and had very distinctive personalities was standing five meters away. The leading man was holding a rope in his hand, with two years and a woman tied to the other end of the rope. The women were wearing the same clothes as Nami.

It seems that he is not the only one who was attacked by Dr. Qianjing's men. However, what surprised Red was that there was a young woman standing behind the man. Judging from her clothes, she should be Dr. Qianjing's man, but she was not tied up. Judging from her hesitant expression, she should have been instigated.

"You... aren't alive?" Medusa noticed something unusual at this time.

The team in front of him didn't have any breath of life on them. They exuded a cold aura all over their bodies, just like a bunch of moving corpses.

After Medusa said this, Red also noticed that the team member in front of him had no heartbeat.

Reid thought for a moment and was about to speak when a dagger had already reached his right eye, and the cold light seemed to pierce his eye in the next second.

They are extremely brutal and are a professional killing group.

Red tilted his head, and the dagger that rushed towards him took away a few strands of his hair and nailed them to the wall.

Medusa, who didn't expect the team in front of her would dare to take action, opened her eyes wide. Red's severed hair was reflected in her dilated pupils. An unprecedented rage surged in her heart. The dormant magic power began to boil and expand, and her soft hair danced wildly in the doll's leather case.

"How dare you do this!?"

"Captain, I always feel that there is something wrong with that mascot!" The man with a burly figure but unusually feminine movements exclaimed with a changed expression.

"Give me all of you..."

The cute doll's head began to wriggle strangely in the wild dance. Black hair seeped out along the doll's teeth, stretching the doll's mouth open little by little, and scarlet pupils lit up.

"Calm down."

But before the doll's mouth was completely opened, Red boldly reached in and pressed his hand on Medusa's head.

"It's fine."

Reid's voice was like a breeze that blew away Medusa's dancing hair in front of her eyes and pulled her back from her turbid rage.

"Humph--"

Looking at Reid's helpless smile in front of her, Medusa snorted unwillingly and turned her head away, and the boiling magic power calmed down again.

But Medusa could feel that the total amount of her magic power had changed, and she was more powerful than before.

Reid exhaled softly, smiled, and turned to look at the team in front of him who were wary of his actions.

"What a dangerous way to greet someone. Are you also after the museum's heritage? Who's behind you?"
