Knight Asylum

"Uh... once you eat the fruit of the Helheim Forest?" Red thought for a moment and then asked cautiously.

"Diseases can be cured, but evolution is not a disease," Zhan Ji Lingma raised his finger and bent it, "You know--"

"In other words, there is a high possibility of a large-scale infection in Helheim? Is this true? The moon just fell."

Although he had vaguely guessed it, when the facts were laid out before him, Red couldn't help but yell.

"After a major physical disaster, there will be a peak period for epidemics~"

Red didn't like Zhan Ji Lingma's indifferent and even amusing smile, but he had to admit that only this kind of person could help find people of the same type.

Just like, the Stand can only be seen by the Stand User.

However, when Sengoku Ryoma mentioned the plague, Reid remembered the document on the [S·L] government vaccination that he saw at Amanokawa High School.

"Nosakuma... pharmaceutical company, have you ever heard of it?"

"Nosakuma? What is that?" Zhan Ji Lingma tilted his head. As a genius, he would only remember things that he was curious about. Since he didn't know, then there must be no point.

"Nosakuma? Although it is not as good as the Enoch Group, it is also a very famous pharmaceutical company." As the director of the World Tree Foundation, Wu Daoguihu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"what happened?"

After thinking for a while, Red told Nosakuma about the documents that he had obtained the development rights and the vaccination.

"Eh - that's interesting. So you think that Nosakuma is very likely the partner of the aliens?" Zhan Ji Ling immediately became interested.

"The reason why an open conspiracy is an open conspiracy is because you know what he might do, but you just can't find a way to solve it."

"..."

"Just a joke," Zhan Ji Lingma immediately raised his hands high.

Red loosened his grip on Sengoku Lingma's collar and lowered his fist.

Wu Daoguihu on the side held his chin in thought.

"But the problem is, you can't just rip off Nosakuma Pharmaceuticals because you have doubts," Sengoku Lingma spread his hands helplessly, "There are many organizations that can and will do that, like Dai Shocker, they are a group of psychopaths who are keen on body modification. Give them a chance, and they can transform all of humanity."

"Uh--"

Red stammered.

"Red, we will monitor the cracks in Helheim Forest in real time. Once there is a reaction, we will immediately locate the location... Although it may be a drop in the bucket," Wudao Guihu sighed, "but we will do our best."

"Sagaku... Never mind."

Reid himself denied this option.

Sagara is the embodiment of the will of the Helheim Forest and remains neutral in his decision. The reason why they help him is, firstly, because Baiya, as the owner of the Golden Fruit, has set his eyes on the Golden Fruit of the Earth, and secondly... many Daughters of Origin chose him.

Spreading the fruits of Helheim Forest and causing a large amount of Earth to become Helheimized will not do any harm to Helheim Forest, so Sagara will not help in this matter.

Perhaps anticipating this possibility, Sengoku Ryoma came over, but Sagara was nowhere to be seen.

At this time, Zhan Ji Lingma's eyes turned and he suggested with a sly smile.

"Maybe, you can try to contact the X Foundation."

"Consortium X?" Reid frowned.

If Dai Shocker is a group of lunatics, then Consortium X is the embodiment of capital above rationality. They are essentially not hostile to anyone for the sake of interests.

"They don't want to see the fruit of the Helheim Forest, which will turn Earth's life forms into monsters controlled by the Overlord Alien, spread."

Zhan Ji Lingma raised his finger and shook it left and right.

"Besides, I think they should be very happy to do business with Servi Tulia, and they might even invite you to visit their branch."

"What's your purpose?"

"Ah~ Please take me with you at that time," Zhan Ji Lingma narrowed his eyes.

"I can help you get what you need~"

Chapter 768 It’s time for a friendly negotiation

If we divide them into camps, Consortium X is most likely to be in the Orderly Evil camp.

The white uniform represents their ruthless and rational style of doing things. They seldom take part in the market themselves, but rather focus on investment.

To use Sengoku Ryoma's description, Consortium X can be a good guy.

Because Zhan Ji Lingma is a chaotic neutral no matter how you look at it. Even though Zhan Ji Lingma is enthusiastic about helping Red, there is only one reason for doing so. Zhan Ji Lingma is very curious about the golden fruit and wants to observe the phenomenon that occurs when Red eats the golden fruit.

Everything Zhan Ji Ling Ma did was to satisfy his curiosity.

No matter what the result of the connection with Consortium X is, Zhan Ji Lingma will be able to get what he wants, but the "what you want" that Zhan Ji Lingma mentioned is very subtle.

So Red did not immediately agree to fight Ji Lingma, but went back to the building to explain the matter to U.

"The Helheim Forest Fruit caused a plague? That's a possibility, but—"

After a brief pause, U crossed his fingers and his tone gradually became serious.

"The most troublesome thing is probably not the fruit of Helheim Forest, but the virus of Helheim Forest."

"Virus?" Reid was stunned.

It was the first time he heard about the existence of a virus in Helheim Forest.

"It should be said that this is one of the manifestations of the corrosive power of Helheim Forest. Most people focus on the fruits of Helheim Forest and ignore the existence of the virus," U leaned back on the backrest, frowning slightly.

"The fruit of Helheim Forest is very troublesome. The evolution process is irreversible. But it is precisely because it is a very overbearing power that it is not easy to spread. Once the species on Earth eat the fruit, they will immediately be forced to evolve into creatures of Helheim Forest. When they see someone showing such symptoms, the rest of the people will naturally realize that there is something wrong with the food in their hands."

"The damage to personnel will be limited to the first round, and the damage will never spread outside of [S·L]."

Red held his chin up and nodded thoughtfully.

"I see. I think I understand. But the virus from Helheim is different, right?"

"Yes, the virus of Helheim Forest has a longer incubation period, and the symptoms are not obvious at the beginning, just like ordinary flu. However, the virus will continue to erode the human body during this process, just like what Helheim Forest has done to every civilization. If you can't withstand it, you will die. If you can withstand it..."

U didn't say anything further, but Red had already guessed the answer.

"Only creatures of Helheim can resist the power coming from the Helheim Forest."

"Yes, either one is Badend, we have tried to make a vaccine, but it is not our area of ​​expertise, but there is one side."

"Consortium X."

"That's right——"

Red held his forehead and sighed deeply.

U's crossed fingers tightened, and just as he was about to speak, Red raised his hand and slapped his face, "So? How can we get in touch with Consortium X?"

"In fact, we have always been in contact with Consortium X," U's eyes shifted over little by little.

"Eh……"

Murakami Kyo, who was standing opposite the desk, also coughed heavily. "In fact, Zhinao Group has also received investment from Consortium X."

Reid tilted his head back slightly.

Now he understood why Sengoku Lingma asked him to contact Consortium X.

The adult world is quite turbid.

"Okay, I get it - I think we need to have a friendly negotiation with Consortium X."

Reid pulled out his phone and started texting.

First we have to call King up.

This opportunity is rare, and judging by the behavior of Consortium X, who wants to get involved in everything, who knows if Consortium X is behind the legendary puppet beast tribe.

Next, call up Kiryu Battle Rabbit.

He is not good at academic communication, and having a physicist to guide him can avoid many problems.

Then, the great way of self-discipline must also be adopted.

When you go out, you always have to bring a ruthless person with you to play the villain, so that the people from Consortium X don't think they are easy to bully.

Plus himself.

"At the latest, the result will be tonight."

When U saw Red sending the message, he knew how Red planned to negotiate with the consortium.

After sending the message, Red stretched out his body and shrank back tiredly.

Even though nothing has started yet, he wants to shout that he is so tired!

This is much more troublesome than the moon falling.

"Is the situation very bad?" Sonoda Mari's face was full of worry. It was the first time she saw Reid look so tired.

"Well, don't eat anything related to fruit until you're sure it's over," Red paused, then raised a finger and bent it towards Sonoda Mari.

"If you're not careful, you might turn into a monster—"

"Oh - is this true?"

Mari Sonoda put down the fruit cake in her hand in a panic.

"Ah, and also, don't leave the building recently."

Murakami Kyoer also added at this time, "We will strengthen control during this period."

"This is so serious..." Sonoda Mari shrank her neck, "The moon just fell a few days ago."

"Yeah, the moon fell a few days ago," Red turned his chair and looked down through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows at the neighborhood that had become dilapidated again due to the fall of the moon.

"But this is [S.L]."

"While thinking about how to prevent an invasion from another world, I also have to think about how to make a grand appearance at my sister's graduation season - ah - in other words, my sister's graduation season is as important as saving the world!"

"Shuhua-chan isn't your sister," Qiao couldn't help but complain.

"Well, what are you talking about? Shuhua-chan always calls me brother, I'm not bragging," Red smiled brightly and gave a thumbs up, "Tiandao can only use disposable dishes and chopsticks when he goes home."

"I say, Reid, you are not deliberately delaying time, are you..." Sonoda Mari raised her hand and complained weakly.

"Zhen Li, how could Red do such a thing?" Di Muli on the side shook his head and smiled gently in Red's direction.

"Right."

"..."

"Right...right?" Reid's silence made Dimu Li feel a little unconfident.

"Of course! Although I really want to see that cool guy biting his handkerchief and crying, why would I do that just to see that?"

Red threw his hands to his sides.

"The technology is limited. It's a technology that can only be developed decades later. How can it be done in a few months?"

"Really?"

"…Really? Even as we speak, our scientists are working day and night to calculate those life-threatening formulas, and me!"

"And you?"

"I'm trying my best to take care of Shuhua-chan so that she doesn't have to worry about Tendao's disappearance!"

Chapter 769: Being blocked by the net is the fate of all footballs

As the sun sets, the sunset glow falls onto the asphalt road like maple leaves blown down by the wind. Passers-by walking together step on the dusk and laugh as they move forward. Only Igarashi Kazuki pushes his bicycle and looks down at the dusk under his feet.

One glaring single-digit test paper after another made him ponder from time to time: at the age of 24, he had given up his job as a bathhouse heir early on, and had he already burned out in a way he didn't like.

"Shoot!"

The passionate roar made Igarashi Kazuki startled and turned his head to look. The high school student in the football uniform roared and kicked the ball. The football passed the goalkeeper at an extremely tricky angle and lifted the net as if it could break through all obstacles.

But it is the fate of all footballs to have all the speed and heat worn away by the net, and finally fall, and then be thrown out by the goalkeeper who has finally gotten past the goal.

The moment the football fell, Igarashi Kazuki exhaled lightly and was about to leave. The high school student who shot the goal recognized Igarashi Kazuki's back.

"Brother Igarashi! Let's play football!"

Igarashi Kazuki paused and slowly turned his head, looking at the group of high school students in front of him who were sweating their youth. Igarashi Kazuki couldn't help but asked subconsciously.

“Does this really make sense?”

"Eh?"
