Knight Asylum

"Officer? What is this? Ahem—"

Luca subconsciously wanted to ask about the situation, but the policeman sitting on his left had already picked up his baton and was hitting him hard on the lungs. The pain made Luca dizzy as if he had lost the ability to breathe.

When he came to his senses, the police officer behind him cursed him and kicked him into a dark cell.

why?

Looking at the darkness before his eyes, Luca covered his still aching lungs, feeling extremely confused.

He didn't understand why such a thing happened to him, nor did he know why he was called a devil.

The news of Luca's arrest was soon made public, and countless people cheered. Most people believed that women and children would never lie and that they would never use their daughter's innocence to slander others. But less than three hours later, an explosion occurred inside the police station where Luca was detained. The remaining surveillance footage recorded the entire process. A strange man rushed out of the cell and destroyed the police station from the inside.

And compared with the characteristics of the devil monster released by Phoenix, that monster is a devil monster.

[Turning into a demon and fleeing in fear of crime]

It seemed that everyone believed this statement.

The woman who accused Luca of the crime sought help online, believing that Luca was likely to retaliate against her family and wanted to move out of [S·L] as soon as possible, but she was short of money and hoped that kind-hearted people in the society would donate money to help her and her daughter.

"So, you want me to help Luca with the lawsuit?"

Kitaoka Hideichi took off the towel on his head and turned his head to look at Hong Yinye and Reid who were wrapped in bath towels around their waists, his eyebrows slightly raised.

"Another thankless case. You guys really give me trouble."

"No, no, no, this should be easy to win," Red waved his hand, "That clothing store doesn't even have a basement. Luca has been on a business trip for nearly half a month and just came back today."

"These are all insignificant matters," Kitaoka Hideichi raised his finger and shook it left and right, "Let alone the half-month business trip. As long as the judicial authorities want to convict Luca, it doesn't matter if he was away for half a year. As long as the mother and daughter say, oh, sorry, I got the time wrong, it was actually earlier, the judge will smile and say, it's okay, we are mortal enemies of crime, and then continue to convict Luca. As for the basement and so on..."

Kitaoka Hideya paused and then spread his hands.

"[S.L] There are so many ways to hide a space. Not being able to find a way doesn't mean there isn't one. So the fact that the clothing store doesn't have a basement can't be used as evidence to refute the testimony that my daughter was subjected to that kind of thing in the basement."

"In fact, this [S.L] has had a similar incident before," Kitaoka Hideichi yawned, "A female high school student said that she was harassed. The lawyer at the time overturned all of the female student's testimony and produced the alibis of those people. As a result, the court simply changed the time and overturned the alibi."

"But a dramatic scene happened. The court revised the time and weather to be wrong, which negated the testimony of the high school girl. The truth about the high school girl was also exposed. At that time, she was engaged in compensated dating."

"At that point, it was a sure win, and even public opinion turned against them. In the end, the court sentenced those people and sent them to prison."

Kitaoka Shuichi grinned.

"So, do you understand? Whether the case can be won or not is not decided by us, but by the court. Now the police have issued a police warrant, and the word "prison escape" carries a lot of weight."

Reid and Hong Yinye's expressions were somewhat solemn.

Even if they could overturn the woman's testimony, they wouldn't be able to clear themselves of the charge of escaping from prison.

"In the final analysis, the premise of a lawsuit is that people are present. Given the current situation, even if I am willing to help you with the lawsuit, Luca himself may not be willing to come out and [die]."

"If you understand, I'll take my leave now," seeing that Reid and Hongyin were both silent, Kitaoka Hideichi stood up with his hands on his knees.

"Wait a moment!"

Reid and Hongyin also reached out at the same time, grabbing the bath towel that was protecting Kitaoka Hideichi's lower body from the left and right.

"Hey - I've already said this much, what else do you want to do?!"

Kitaoka Hideichi clutched his bath towel tightly.

"Ah - Lawyer Kitaoka, that is, um, is there any case where a lawsuit can be filed even when the other party is not around?" Reid coughed awkwardly, looking embarrassed... and increased the force of pulling Kitaoka Hideichi's bath towel.

"That's based on the premise that the court wants that person to win," Kitaoka Hideichi's face turned pale, "I know! I'll find a way, let's talk about it after we get out, okay!"

"it is good--"

Reid and Hongyin also let go at the same time, and the bath towel bounced on Kitaoka Hideichi's butt with a snap. For a moment, Kitaoka Hideichi's face became even darker, but Reid and Hongyin were both smiling and muttering, "What a nice butt."

Kitaoka Hideichi held his forehead and let out a long breath.

After that, I must demand a huge amount of lawyer fees.

After drying their hair and getting dressed, Reid and the others just pushed open the door to the locker room when they heard Igarashi Daiji's somewhat urgent shout.

"Brother - we have already located the demon. For the sake of social stability, we must separate the demon and send the prisoner back to prison. This is something that only you who can use the Revice system can do."

“This is your responsibility!”

Chapter 710 Brothers and Brothers

In the lobby of Happy Bathhouse, Igarashi Ikki, in casual clothes, was leaning on a mop and looked embarrassed, while Igarashi Daiji, in Phoenix uniform, was gesticulating excitedly, hoping that his brother could understand the seriousness of the matter.

"I understand how you feel, sophomore, but I still have work to do in the bathhouse."

Igarashi Ikki avoided Igarashi Daiji's eyes.

The first time he used the Revice drive, he lost half of his life, and his whole personality started to become strange. If he continued to use the Revcie drive, God knew what he would become.

"The work at the bathhouse... doesn't matter! Now, a scum who hurt a mother and daughter and ruined their lives has turned into a demon and is roaming around [S·L]. We finally found the location of that demon. If we miss this opportunity, I don't know how many people will be hurt! If something like that really happens..."

Igarashi Daiji took a deep breath and stared into Igarashi Ikki's eyes.

"That's all your fault."

Igarashi Daiji clenched his fists.

Jealousy and guilt continued to grow and spread in his heart, but he was unwilling to admit it and tried his best to deny that he did that out of jealousy.

Yes, if it were him, he would never use the excuse of working in the bathhouse to avoid this responsibility.

"Sophomore year, no matter what, there's no need to say that."

Igarashi Genta didn't expect that Igarashi Daiji would be so aggressive. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up and stood between Igarashi Ikki and Igarashi Daiji with an awkward smile.

"Oh - Phoenix has already located Luca? As expected of Phoenix," Hong Yin also nodded thoughtfully with his chin held high.

Igarashi Daiji's body shook violently, and he turned his head stiffly to look at Hong Yinye and others.

"Sophomore year, where is Luka now?"

"This-this is, confidential," Igarashi Daiji's eyes flickered.

Wakabayashi Yujiro and Karisaki did not think that Red would be involved in this matter, so they did not specifically ask him to keep it a secret from Red.

But Karisaki emphasized that his brother, Igarashi Kazuki, must solve the devil, so they definitely don't want to see Reid solve the devil for Igarashi Kazuki.

"Daijidu, isn't the focus now to catch the devil?" Hongyin also raised her hand and placed it heavily on Igarashi Daiji's shoulder, "Where is your justice?"

Igarashi Daiji moved his mouth, persisted for a while, then lowered his head, took out his mobile phone and turned on the location.

"Red, I'll leave it to you," Hongyin also whistled.

"Okay, Lawyer Kitaoka, you don't mind sitting here a little longer, do you?" Reid stretched.

"I don't care. The lawyer's fee is calculated by the minute," said Kitaoka Hideichi, sitting on the massage chair. He adjusted his posture and yawned. "I'll send the bill to your house later."

"That's really troublesome--"

"Wait a moment."

Just as Red was about to leave, Igarashi Ikki stood up and said, "I'll go too."

Red was stunned for a moment, then nodded and waved his hand.

"Let's go."

Igarashi Daiji also wanted to go but was entangled by Hongyin.

When Red went out, he had just put on his helmet and started the engine when he saw Igarashi Kazuki running out pushing a bicycle.

"..."

"Get in the car."

Reid took out a spare helmet and handed it to Igarashi Kazuki. He was not so evil as to let Igarashi Kazuki ride his bike all the way there.

"Thanks--"

Igarashi Kazuki immediately took the helmet and sat in the back seat somewhat stiffly.

Red nodded and started the engine. Because the location Phoenix locked onto was still some distance away, Red started a conversation out of curiosity.

Igarashi Daiji's state just now was obviously not right. He was very restless. Rather than being worried about more victims appearing, it was more like...

He was eager to put the blame on Igarashi Kazuki.

"You have a bad relationship with your brother?"

"This...we have a good relationship," Igarashi Ikki scratched his face awkwardly, "Today, I am just very anxious."

“Hohoho——Is that really the case?”

Weiss once again crawled out from Igarashi Kazuki's chest, covered his mouth and laughed secretly.

The corner of Igarashi's mouth twitched fiercely. He could now ignore Whis's chattering, but that didn't mean he couldn't hear it.

He felt that he was very competent as the eldest brother.

Happy Bathhouse is the parents' dream. Mr. and Mrs. Igarashi are good people and will not ask their children to inherit their dream without permission. However, as the eldest son, he knows very well that his parents love this bathhouse very much, so someone must inherit it.

In order not to put psychological pressure on his parents, he gave up his hobby of football in high school. After graduating from high school, he did not choose to go to college, but took over the work of Happy Bathhouse.

His parents' dream was continued, and his younger brothers and sisters had the freedom to realize their own dreams.

"Are you just anxious? Yihui, you'd better find a chance to talk to Daier later. He seems to be under a lot of pressure because of you," Reid raised his eyes.

"Pressure? Because of me?" Igarashi Kazuki was a little confused.

He was sure that he had never complained to Igarashi Daiji that he had sacrificed his life for his family.

"Your brother has a strong sense of self-esteem. The more selfless you act, the more he feels dispensable. You never asked him to help with the work at the bathhouse, and even told him not to worry when he wanted to help, just to do what he wanted, right?"

Igarashi Kazuki's breathing hitched.

"It seems that I guessed right."

Red let out a breath, stopped the Mobile Pegasus, and looked up at the textile factory in front of him.

According to Phoenix's positioning, the devil who is now destroying the police station from the inside is here.

Red was skeptical about the information that this demon was Luca.

It would not be surprising if he turned into a demon after being framed like this.

Perhaps, some people just want to take advantage of their habitual thinking.

"Red, although this is a bit sudden, can you please leave this demon to me?" Seeing Red moving his arms to prepare for action, Igarashi Kazuki clenched his fists and raised his hand to press Red's shoulder.

Reid paused.

He has seen Igarashi Kazuki's strength, so he will have no problem dealing with the devil.

But that was a system made using the devil's contract, which was just like a loan. God knew when the devil would demand a huge price from Igarashi Kazuki.

He still remembered Igarashi Ikki's reactions before and after his transformation. That was not his first time using the Revcie system, so he was not used to the performance that could be explained.

"please."

"...Okay, don't force it."

Seeing Igarashi Kazuki insisting, Red didn't say anything more. He didn't think that the devil was Luca, but only the guy who turned people into devils and the guy who separated the devils could know Luca's current condition.

Chapter 711 Who is the Devil?

The machines in the textile factory were roaring, but there was not a single worker to be seen.

"The breath of the devil," Weiss rubbed his hands and whispered in Igarashi Ikki's ear, "Ikki, let me out now, I will return my memory to you, as a price you let me kill the devil."

Igarashi Kazuki gave Weiss a strange look.

The content of this contract seems to be a win-win situation for him no matter how you look at it.

trap?

Just as Igarashi was wondering what Weiss was up to, a sound of a steel pipe falling to the ground came from deep within the textile factory. Red and Igarashi looked at each other and rushed towards the direction of the sound. Igarashi took out the Revice driver and put it on his waist.

"That's all—"

Reid and Igarashi Kazuki stretched out their hands and shouted at the same time. The demon monster in the shape of a moth who was bending over to pick up a steel pipe paused, was stunned for a moment, and then raised his hands above his head.

"Ok?"

Red froze in place, but Igarashi Ikki had already tapped the Tyrannosaurus Seal on the Revice driver.

"Henshin——"

The huge seal fell, and Igarashi Ikki transformed into Revi and strode forward, raising his fist to end the moth, but Whis, who had just jumped up and materialized, rushed out from the side and knocked Igarashi Ikki away.
