Knight Asylum

"Your brother, it's okay."

"Who knows—" Igarashi Sakura raised her head and turned away.

The remaining two female high school students looked at each other and followed Igarashi Sakura.

In the teachers' office of Amanokawa High School, Yuta Sugiura, holding the test paper, couldn't help but raise his eyes as soon as he entered the door, because Reid was sitting in his seat openly.

Of course, that’s not all. What really left him speechless were his colleagues.

"Mr. Reed, please have some tea!"

"Oh-oh——"

"Mr. Reid, this is the snack I brought back from my business trip."

"Oh-oh——"

"Mr. Reid, actually our school is currently in need of——"

"Hey! You guys, are you free?"

In the end, Yuta Sugiura couldn't help but shout out. When the teachers who were serving tea and snacks saw Yuta Sugiura appear, they immediately smiled awkwardly, picked up their lesson plans and ran out. Soon, Reid and Yuta Sugiura were the only ones left in the office.

"Hey - Sugiura - how is Ikki doing?" Reid, with tea in his left hand and snack in his right hand, raised his hand and nodded towards Sugiura Yuta, ignoring the dark lines on Sugiura Yuta's face.

"We had a pop-up test today."

"Oh~"

"Igarashi-san only scored 9 points. I'm sure his scores in other subjects won't be that high. At this rate... he'll probably be held back."

Yuta Sugiura thinks Igarashi Kazuki will probably be in trouble.

As a 24-year-old man who overcame many obstacles including family, the first thing he did when he returned to high school to rekindle his youth was... to repeat a grade.

"I say, you didn't expect this to happen from the beginning," Sugiura Yuta complained.

"Teacher Sugiura, look at what you said, it's just a coincidence," Reid laughed and waved his hand.

Sugiura Yuta's tactic of leaning back with his hands around his chest was something he thought was good, but he couldn't find any evidence.

"Ah, speaking of which, I saw an interesting document here from Mr. Sugiura."

Red smiled and held up a document with a very conspicuous stamp on it.

Nosakuma Pharmaceutical.

The content of the document is very simple. In order to prevent students from being infected by monsters, all human students of Amanokawa High School will be injected with the vaccine prepared by Nosakuma Pharmaceutical.

Chapter 766: On Earth, the Moon Falling is a Small Thing

After a brief silence, Sugiura Yuta let out a long breath.

"Why did you go through the shredder's trash can and use my transparent tape to stick it together like some kind of specimen."

"...Yeah, I'm just a little curious," Red smiled awkwardly and blew a pretty bad whistle.

"You were able to put it back together."

Yuta Sugiura put the test paper on the desk, dodged the document taped with transparent tape in Red's hand, and shook it up and down. It was clearly a piece of paper, but because of too much transparent tape, it turned into a board.

"How much clear tape did you use?"

"Ahem - because I have nothing to do here," Red coughed and then his face straightened. "I think Nosakuma Pharmaceutical is very suspicious. Don't sign this document."

"…Why do you think it was in the shredder basket?"

"Ahaha - that's true, cough - in fact, Nosakuma Pharmaceutical has obtained the development rights of the Yagui tribe's territory, and they seem to be planning to build a research institute in the center of the Xingxiu District," Reid coughed and returned to the topic.

"A pharmaceutical company's research institute?"

Yuta Sugiura realized the problem.

Pharmaceutical production means endless experiments, and in this process, various wastewaters with unknown side effects will inevitably appear, and this wastewater is far more terrible than industrial wastewater.

Of course, any pharmaceutical company spends a lot of money on wastewater treatment every year.

Of course, any pharmaceutical company would try to cut corners and save money on wastewater treatment, as long as it could win the lawsuit.

However, the premise is that the parties involved in the lawsuit are all poor people living in the countryside. The territory of the Yagui tribe is the city center of the Xingxiu District. If there is a drug or wastewater leak in the city center, it will not be just a few half-buried old men protesting.

"What do you think?"

Yuta Sugiura glanced at the vaccine document in his hand that prevented the so-called monster infection.

This is not a vaccine document sent by Nosakuma Pharmaceuticals, but a vaccination document sent by the [S·L] government, and Nosakuma is a pharmaceutical company assigned by the government to research vaccines.

The document is well-founded and there is nothing suspicious about it.

But the vaccination document itself is suspicious.

So he threw it into the shredder without thinking.

Now Red told him that Nosakuma had taken over the development rights of the Yagui tribe's territory in the center of the Xingxiu District from the [S·L] government and was preparing to build a research institute.

He felt more and more that throwing the document into the shredder was the right thing to do.

"It's unclear at the moment. Our infiltration experts..."

Reid thought of Da Dao Keji's face, crossed his arms and was silent for a while before complaining.

"It could turn the infiltration into a bloody affair."

"Ah this——"

"By the way, those are government documents, right? Is it okay to just throw them into the shredder?" Red asked casually as he stood up and patted his pants.

"Maybe, it's a bit troublesome--" Yuta Sugiura frowned slightly.

After all, that was a document approved by the government, and although Amanokawa High School was a private high school, private high schools were still under the jurisdiction of the government.

"However, there will always be a solution, and we will definitely protect the students."

"You are really reliable, Mr. Sugiura."

"It's so noisy - don't forget about graduation season."

“I understand, I understand—”

Reid snapped his fingers and left the office.

Although he really wanted to get closer to Tiandao Shuhua before leaving, the class bell happened to rang. In order not to disturb Tiandao Shuhua's studies, Red gave up this idea with difficulty and went to visit the first-year high school classroom where Igarashi Ikki was.

It was another in-class test. The 24-year-old man was biting his pen and staring at the test paper as if it was a terrible enemy that he had to risk his life to defeat.

In this regard, Red could only make the sign of the cross on his chest for Igarashi Ikki.

Examinations are also a part of youth.

After praying for Igarashi Kazuki, Red left Amanokawa High School, found the mobile Pegasus parked far away from the teaching building, slowly drove out of the residential area, changed gears, stepped on the accelerator, and headed straight for the World Tree Foundation.

World Tree Foundation.

"Oh - welcome, my friend - R.D. ~ Really, I almost thought you had forgotten me ~"

As soon as he came up, Zhan Ji Lingma opened his arms and wanted to give Red a long-lost hug, but Red, who had never hugged Zhan Ji Lingma before, simply raised his hand to block Zhan Ji Lingma's unbounded behavior.

"The fluctuation of one of the Daughters of Origin disappeared, right?"

"Correct! You're quite good at this, Reid—" Zhan Ji Lingma snapped his fingers and winked at Reid ambiguously.

"Hey - don't look at me like that, I didn't do anything," Zhan Ji Lingma's eyes made Reid couldn't help but emphasize loudly.

“Hahaha——Impossible, impossible. You must have done something, otherwise the Daughter of Origin wouldn’t have disappeared out of thin air. Although it’s a pity that she didn’t become your Daughter of Origin, who knows what will happen in the future, hahaha——”

Zhan Ji Lingma put his hands on his hips and laughed.

Red held his forehead and sighed.

He could probably guess who had disappeared.

Both Sengoku Ryoma and Sagara said that King is a candidate for the owner of the Golden Fruit, and King's origin daughter is most likely Maya.

And the girl of origin, Maya, once appeared before him.

It was because he had seen the Origin Girl version of Maya that he cared about Hong Yinye and King's affairs, and then he knew some things he shouldn't know, and then...

It has become the current situation.

After laughing enough, Zhan Ji Lingma's face turned serious.

"But there is some bad news."

"The golden fruit appeared earlier than expected?" Reid raised his eyebrows.

"That's good news, right?" Zhan Ji Ling Ma pinched his nose and sighed. "The bad news is that the rate at which the Helheim Forest erodes the Earth has slowed down recently. The arrival of the golden fruit will be much later than we expected. As for how much later..."

Zhan Ji Lingma sighed again.

"I don't know for now. Damn it, Helheim Forest is too hypocritical."

"Is this really a hypocritical question about Helheim Forest?"

Seeing that Sengoku Ryoma was actually slandering the Helheim Forest, Sagara couldn't stand it anymore and just showed up and walked out.

"Helheim Forest is the force that allows a planet's civilization to evolve. If that planet's civilization is destroyed due to other accidents, Helheim Forest will naturally stop eroding it..."

Sagara paused before complaining loudly.

"The moon is falling! Normally, this planet should be destroyed. Isn't it normal for the Helheim Forest to judge that this planet is going to be destroyed and prepare to evacuate?"

"It's not like there's no destruction - and this kind of thing is very normal on Earth!"

Sengoku Ryoma and Sagara started arguing in public like two elementary school students.

Red raised his head back and was about to leave when he saw Guihu Wudao waving at him not far away.

Chapter 767: Searching for the Consortium X

Red always felt that Takatora Wudao was a rare and reliable adult male, so when he saw Takatora Wudao waving, Red walked over without thinking much.

There must be something important about finding a reliable adult male like him.

And just as Red had expected, Takatora Wudao started with a rather troublesome test as soon as he opened his mouth.

“We found this.”

Takatora Wudao took out a photo from his arms.

Red took the photo and looked at it, then frowned.

The photo shows a warehouse that collapsed due to the fall of the moon, and a lot of goods were pulled out and scattered on the ground.

This is not surprising, but the goods are the fruits of Helheim Forest.

Reid frowned.

"I remember that if you eat the fruit of Helheim Forest..."

"Those who will be corrupted by Helheim Forest and become creatures of Helheim Forest are just like those foreigners summoned by the Lock Seed. They only have instincts but no self."

Takatora Wudao folded his arms across his chest and paused briefly before speaking slowly.

“So far, there have been no exceptions.”

At this time, after arguing with Sagara, Sengoku Ryoma very accurately found the positions of Reid and Wudao Takatora and joined their conversation.

"Helheim is the power that forces a civilization to evolve. Every fruit of the Helheim Forest contains the energy of forced evolution. If you eat the fruit of Helheim without adapting to its power, you will be lucky to survive if you are forced to evolve into a higher level creature. Don't expect to survive."

"So, there have been cases of death from eating the Helheim Forest Fruit?" Reid narrowed his glasses.

"Not at all. All the experimental mice completed their evolution after eating the fruits of the Helheim Forest," Zhan Ji Lingma said with a smile, raising his finger.

"Helheim Forest is not some unsecured, no-questions-asked research. Ah - lab mice are just lab mice~"

Red raised his eyes.

Both Sengoku Ryoma and Wudao Guihu's heartbeats were very steady, but sometimes people can even deceive their own heartbeats.

However, Red didn't plan to ask more questions about this matter. Even if he asked Sengoku Ryoma and Wudao Guihu, they would not tell him.

"In other words, the aliens have found a partner to cooperate with, and are planning to mix the fruits of the Helheim Forest into [S·L] to increase the number of aliens who can serve as combat power. Am I right?" Reid pinched the bridge of his nose.

"That's what happened. I investigated the warehouse, and found out that the owner of the warehouse died three years ago," Takatora Wudao folded his arms across his chest and shook his head.

Since they were able to smuggle the fruits of the Helheim Forest to [S·L], they must have reached a cooperation with foreigners. Such an organization is definitely not a small role. They must have done a good job in handling traces and it is impossible for them to reveal their tracks in the warehouse incident.

But it's always better to be cautious in everything.
