Knight Asylum

"Ha, are you running away again? Coward."

Mirage chuckled twice, then turned into a flock of bats and dispersed in the shadows.

This is something only the devil knows.

A voice kept calling them.

As Igarashi's demons, they bear a huge destiny and responsibility.

Mirage arrived at the base of the Desperate Crowd with ease. As soon as he entered the door, he heard a fierce quarrel. One was a bad woman who coveted his brother's body, and the other was a bad man who coveted his brother's status.

No matter which one it was, he hated it.

Mirage kicked the door open and walked in carelessly. He glanced at Aguilera and Oltega's faces and playfully flicked his nails.

"What's wrong? Are you starting to get restless now that my dear brother is away? Olutega, you don't think that it's your turn now that my dear brother is away."

Olutega's face darkened instantly, but he soon smiled humbly, "How could that be? I actually wanted to congratulate you. You can finally come out."

"Of course - I also have to thank you. Without your help, I wouldn't have gotten the body so quickly."

Mirage held his head, turned it left and right, raised his feet and walked to the sofa in the center and sat down comfortably.

"That's Master Ikki's seat!" Akilela yelled in dissatisfaction.

"My dear brother never sat on it anyway, did he?"

"But that's not you either—"

"Hey - woman, be careful or I'll say something bad about you in front of my brother!"

"Goo-"

Aguilera was silenced.

Mirage nodded in satisfaction and crossed his fingers. "I know what you are arguing about. Don't worry about it. Whether the demon is resurrected or defeated, everything is as planned. As for our dear brother..."

Mirage paused and then turned his head.

"Although I don't hate the way he is now, I don't want to help him clean up the mess. How can I make him return to his original state? I think you should have some ideas."

"Of course - what caused Ikki-sama to become like this is something called the Revice system. As long as we hack into that system and reverse the contract, the devil and Ikki-sama will be reunited, and the original Ikki-sama will return. We are preparing the corresponding seal."

Orutga placed his right hand on his chest and bowed humbly like a servant, but the malicious smile on his face made it hard to believe his purpose.

"Stop it! Orutja, you definitely have bad intentions! I will never allow you to prepare the seal!" Aguilera exploded on the spot.

Mirage held his chin up and laughed playfully, "The guy who created that system is a genius. I don't think you have a way to hack that system."

"Hmph - that's hard to say."

Olutega smiled and turned to look at the stairs not far away.

"Right, Dr. Karizaki?"

A man wearing a black and white mask leaned out from the shadows of the stairs.

“It’s not a difficult thing to do.”

"Eh——" Mirage raised his eyebrows, his smile becoming more playful, "Dr. Karisaki~ You can't be the genius scientist from Phoenix, George Karisaki's father, Masumi Karisaki? You should be dead."

"I'm back from hell."

Karisaki Masumi raised his hand and took off the black and white mask, and the terrifying face he revealed made Aguilera gasp.

"So? What's your purpose? You don't look like a devil's believer."

"For the Sabbath."

Chapter 719: Nothing strange, right King?

Phoenix headquarters.

Karizaki hummed an unknown tune, his ten fingers dancing on the keyboard, his lenses reflecting the rapidly changing numbers on the screen. Six seals were placed on the test bench not far away, and data streams of different colors flowed along the pipes towards an eggshell-shaped seal in the center.

The door of the laboratory opened, and Hiromi Kadada walked in. He glanced at the direction of the seal and let out a breath, "Dr. Karizaki, I heard you were looking for me?"

"Hey~ Kadota, you came at the right time, I know what happened~"

"What happened?" Hiromi Kadada was stunned.

"Of course it was the day of the Knight Authorization Ceremony, when you met 012, the machine life form that copied you." Karizaki raised his finger and shook it left and right. "It must be hard to be called a weakling by your own copy. I know how that feels~"

The corner of Hiromi Kadada's mouth twitched fiercely.

He didn't feel uncomfortable at first, but after hearing what Karizaki said, he felt uncomfortable.

"There are still people in Phoenix who suggest that you continue to be locked up in the cell," Karisaki turned around and spread his hands to both sides. "Although Commander Wakabayashi has withstood the pressure now, the behavior of the mechanical life form that copied you is becoming increasingly uncontrollable. No one can guarantee what will happen next. After all, it is your face. If you continue to appear in public, no one can guarantee what impact it will have on Phoenix's reputation."

Hiromi Kadota doesn't care what the Phoenix executives think of him, but he would feel guilty if Yujiro Wakabayashi was implicated.

"I see, Doctor, what do you want me to do?"

"Ah~ You're really straightforward. I like straightforward people the most," Karizaki stood up with a smile, picked up the box at his feet and handed it to Hiromi Kadada.

"I'll leave this to you."

Hiromi Kadada raised his eyebrows slightly and reached out to take the box.

"This is?"

"You'll know if you open it and take a look," Karisaki smiled, like a devil tempting people to fall.

Hiromi Kadada's heart skipped a beat. He placed the box horizontally on the table, unlocked the box and opened it.

"This is……"

Hiromi Kadada's pupils shrank, and his eyes reflected the driver in the box that exuded an ominous aura. Red tubes like blood vessels and muscles connected the screen in the middle of the driver.

The fusion of biology and metal is extremely inharmonious yet strangely coordinated, as if the driver is alive.

"Demons Driver, even without signing a contract with a demon, can give you power beyond that of a human."

Karizaki approached Hiromi Kadada's back and whispered.

"As long as you use this driver, you will no longer be a weakling in the eyes of the mechanical lifeform 012."

"Use this driver to destroy the mechanical lifeform 012, and you will be able to prove your innocence, and the higher-ups will no longer embarrass Commander Wakabayashi."

Hiromi Kadada stared at the Demons Driver in the box. After a long while, he exhaled and picked up the Demons Driver and the Spider Seal on the side.

"Doctor, you really look like a demon who persuades people to fall."

"Aren't humans demons?" Karizaki raised his finger and bent it. "Besides, demons only persuade you. It's always you who makes the decision."

"I know, so no matter what the end of this road is, I will not regret today's decision."

Hiromi Kadada put away the Demons driver and left the laboratory.

Karizaki shrugged his shoulders and looked at the eggshell seal in the center of the test bench, frowning slightly.

"It's not enough——"

……

Under the cover of night, a man was walking on the street, holding a milk tea in his left hand and a barbecue in his right hand. These were obviously very ordinary things, but the man smiled with great satisfaction.

Just as the man was about to end tonight's [hunting], a fragrance rushed into his nostrils. The man turned his head sharply and his eyes fell on a mobile ramen cart.

"It smells so good——"

The man subconsciously licked his lips and swallowed a few bites of the barbecue. He trotted to the mobile ramen cart with his milk tea, lifted the curtain, smiled brightly, and raised his hand.

"Boss, give me a bowl of ramen, and the noodles must be super hard!"

"okay--"

The ramen boss began to cook the noodles with great skill. The man impatiently leaned towards the pot, but was worried about disturbing the ramen boss's performance, so he sat quietly.

The boss couldn't help laughing when he saw the man's impatience. "Have you been hungry for a long time?"

"Ah, well... I haven't been hungry for a long time," the man scratched his face awkwardly, "but I was really miserable some time ago. Even bugs seemed delicious to me."

"Eh——" the boss was shocked.

"However, thanks to this, even losing one spicy strip can bring me a sense of happiness that is about to burst, not to mention ramen," the man laughed, "Now I am really looking forward to tomorrow and what delicious food I can eat tomorrow, but what I am most looking forward to now is indeed ramen."

"It's such an honor—"

The boss put barbecued pork on the ramen with a smile and handed the bowl to the man in front of him. Nothing makes a chef more proud than the expectations of his customers.

Just when the man was about to receive the ramen, a huge fist came from the side and hit the man's body heavily. The man was knocked away like a puppet with its strings cut and fell heavily to the ground.

The ramen bowl fell to the ground with a clang, and the boss looked up blankly. In his eyes, he saw the reflection of a nearly four-meter-tall behemoth in front of him. Under its golden horns was a pair of eyes that shone like stained glass in a church.

"Ahem - you are..."

The man covered his chest and stood up with difficulty. His eyes fell on the mark on the back of the giant's hand. Although it was distorted, he still recognized the mark. It was one of the four marks recognized by all the Fang Ghosts.

"I didn't expect it to be discovered so quickly."

A blasphemous tattoo of fangs appeared on the man's face.

The ramen boss' eyes widened.

That characteristic is known to everyone in [S·L]. The sinners who blasphemed the authority of God, the monsters that feed on human lives, the Fang Ghost Clan.

"Go ahead - be careful or I'll eat you!"

Seeing that the ramen puller was still standing there, the man roared angrily in the direction of the ramen owner, and illusory fangs rose on both sides of his body.

The boss was startled, screamed, turned around and ran away, so he didn't see the man behind him pounce on the giant.

The giant's punch landed, and the man's thin body was shattered on the spot, like the collapse of stained glass in a church, and countless fragments with strange light flew down.

The next morning.

Suzuki Fukao, who had completed the admission procedures, waved to Reid and got into the most low-key sports car in Takuma Itaro's hand.

Next, they will go to the Tendou family and send the Tendou tree flower and Inamori Mayu who is temporarily staying at the Tendou family to Amenokawa High School.

Red really wanted to go there himself, but although he had passed the driving test, he had never driven a car officially.

Back in the office, just as Red was about to continue what he hadn't finished yesterday, he caught a glimpse of a pencil case on the table with Suzuki Mao's name on it.

Apparently Mao Suzuki forgot to bring her pencil case.

It was a bit embarrassing that I didn't bring my pencil case on the first day of school.

After thinking for a while, Red picked up his pencil case, went downstairs, got in the car, and headed to Tianzhichuan High School. The journey was extremely peaceful, and nothing strange happened, any...

Looking at the man wearing big sunglasses and a mask hiding behind a telephone pole not far away, Red's mouth twitched slightly.

"Um... King, why are you here?"

strange things.

Chapter 720: Wow, isn’t this King?

At first glance, Red didn't dare to recognize that this was King.

The big sunglasses and the mask were secondary. King's signature reddish-brown hair was styled quite neatly, even tied into a small braid that looked very artistic. He was also wearing a very common sports shirt, which seemed... to be bought by Hongyin when she was shopping before.

"You got the wrong person."

"Ah, it turns out I recognized the wrong person. That's how it is."

Red smiled brilliantly and reached for the sunglasses on King's face, but before his fingertips touched the sunglasses, King grabbed his wrist. Without transforming into Kuuga, Red's wrist strength was no match for King's.

"Oh, that's strange, why are you so strong?" Reid said with a forced smile.

"Huh? Isn't it because you're a weakling?"

"Ah, Ms. Maya."

The moment King turned his head, Red suddenly raised his left hand and swung it downwards, directly pulling off his sunglasses and mask. Realizing that he had been deceived, King froze on the spot.

Red blinked and reached out to untie King's braids, then used his hair glue to smooth his hair and restored King's hairstyle.

"Oh my - isn't this King? Why are you here?!"

Red's pretended surprised tone made King's pupils tremble wildly. After a long stalemate, King's shoulders slowly collapsed and he turned around as if he couldn't see Red.

"Click——"

King paused and turned around suddenly, and Red was holding his phone vertically towards his face, with the camera flashing.

"King, you don't want Maya and Benone to see these photos either," Reid smiled brightly and took a step back, the Aguru belt emerging from around his waist.
