Knight Asylum

Ming Hai took off his round-brimmed hat and raised his eyebrows slightly as if he was thinking about the feasibility of Red's day.

"My subordinates will act in accordance with my first fifty-year plan and my second fifty-year plan," Montana raised his cigar towards Red's shoulder.

"My sniper skills are very accurate. He originally wanted to shoot you in the head."

"So it's you, this guy!"

Redman directly used his supernatural ability of ignition, and the cigar in Montana's hand, which looked quite expensive, turned into ashes on the spot.

Montana glanced at the ashes between his fingers and shook them casually, grinning provocatively, "I'm just saying hello to you. Anyway, for you, that kind of injury will only take an hour or two to fully repair. I just don't know if your headshot can be repaired."

Red took a deep breath and gestured towards Minghai. After a brief silence, Minghai raised his hat to cover his face. When Minghai put his hat down again, Red just walked back. On the other side of the street, Montana, who had just looked fearless, was kneeling on the ground with his hand covering his crotch and a grim face.

"Colonel, although you have committed many crimes that are enough to be sentenced to be shot in one hour, I can confirm that your actions have a huge premise, which is to protect humanity."

Ming Hai said slowly as if he saw nothing.

"To you, demons are something that must be eliminated... I guess you're not naive enough to think that demons can be controlled by humans."

"Who, who knows - at least the Noah Organization, they did it," Montana stood up straight with a grim face, but his legs were still trembling.

An iron will can overcome all torture, but the flesh drags down the will. When the will shout that it is not enough, the flesh will raise the white flag and shout "Stop this", and secrete a lot of things to force the will to succumb to it.

"Their experiment was successful."

"Was the experiment successful? Or did the people who surrendered to the devil achieve their goals?" Red crossed his arms and rolled his eyes. "Don't you know clearly?"

This time Montana did not retort. If the power of the devil could really be mastered by humans, he would not have appeared here and risked being beaten up by Red.

"Well, just as you said, humans are absolutely unable to utilize the power of demons. Of course, it's not that humans can't do it, but there is a group of humans who sold everything they have to demons a long time ago, causing humans to lose the initiative in this battle with demons."

The pain gradually eased, and Montana's tone gradually rose.

"What's even worse is that the group of people who turned to the devil used the power given to them by the devil to climb to a very high position. Human history and social system became their strongest shield."

"If you want to find them, you have to be prepared to become an enemy of the entire human society."

Red raised his eyebrows. "If you want to join us in defeating the demons by subverting the current human society, then I suggest you take the next bus and leave."

Ming Hai raised his head, without saying a word but making his attitude clear.

"Hmm - the expected answer. We can only eliminate plan C for now."

Montana held his chin up and nodded thoughtfully. Red and Minghai's reactions were within his expectations. If Red and Minghai agreed, he would think something was fishy.

"..."

"So, Colonel, do you have any intel to share with us?" Red took a few steps back and leaned against the bus stop sign, his hands behind his head.

He didn't have much contact with Montana, but he was sure that Montana was a normal person with paranoia. If he were in the era of World War II, he would definitely become a senior official of the Great Shocker.

Maybe the Montana in front of him has already come into contact with Dai Shocker.

"Everything of the Noah Organization was swallowed up by fire in an accident, but what happened will not disappear so easily."

Montana curled the corners of his mouth, but he didn't mean to play Tai Chi.

"During the operation of the Noah Organization, some monsters appeared in this world. They were classified as freaks, but they had no self and only destroyed the surroundings. After being killed, their bodies would disappear... just like the Desperate Clan summoning miscellaneous soldiers now."

"Although the destructive power of the miscellaneous soldiers summoned by the Desperate Group is not as strong as the monsters that appeared when the Noah Organization was still there, they are easier to control."

“It’s clear that they have not only completed the research, but have even optimized it.”

Reid frowned.

"so what?"

Now that the Noah Organization has been destroyed, it is meaningless even if we know that the method of summoning miscellaneous soldiers used by the Desperate Group is the result of the Noah Organization's research.

"Don't be so anxious, young man," Montana said slowly, putting a finger to his lips and smiling mysteriously.

"Tamaki Go, Natsuki Hana, Hatsushiba Makoto, who do you think these three names belong to?"

"Those three cadres of the Desperate Crowd?"

"That's right - it's not difficult to find out their real names, including the reason why they joined the Outlaws."

Montana opened his hands.

"Aguilera, formerly known as Xia Muhua, is an orphan."

"Frio, whose real name is Tamaki Go, is an ordinary high school student. He is cowardly and withdrawn, and is the target of bullying by some bad high school students. One day, he ran away from school because of some boring things. The next time he appeared, he was already a leader of the Desperate Crowd."

"How should I describe them? They are like children who have been tricked into playing house seriously. They vent their dissatisfaction with society in a devilish way. Even if we catch them, I'm afraid we won't get any useful information."

Red thought about what he had heard through the eavesdropping device these days.

As Montana said, as a cadre of the Outlaws, six out of ten sentences Aguilera said a day were about being infatuated, and the remaining four sentences were more like an idol tour than giving orders.

And Frio’s position... seems to be Aguilera’s bodyguard and assistant. Whatever Aguilera says, that’s what he does.

At this level, it is really difficult for Red to associate it with the mastermind hidden in history and bound to the human social framework.

This is more like a bait thrown out by the mastermind to attract everyone's attention.

Under normal circumstances, an immature group like this wouldn't be able to cause any waves, but there was a guy among them who had quite strong business capabilities.

"What about... Ortega?"

Chapter 781 The Taste of the Devil

Whether it was Aguilera or Frio, Red had only one reaction when he saw them for the first time.

That's it?

That's it?

It was indeed arrogant to break in and openly provoke the law enforcement agencies of [S·L] during the knight authorization ceremony in Phoenix, but think about it carefully... Which terrorist organization in [S·L] has not openly provoked the law enforcement agencies of [S·L]?

Any terrorist organization with a bit of reputation will simply ignore the law enforcement agencies and do whatever they want, such as the Gurongi Group, for example...them Servius Turia.

Aguilera's public provocation seems to be a reflection of her dissatisfaction and resentment towards the society. She seems to know a lot, but in fact, she exudes a sense of... stupidity from the inside out, like a fool who has been fooled.

And Frio is a fool.

Compared with these two cadres, Ortega is simply ridiculously normal. He is either causing trouble or on the way to causing trouble. Basically, all known demons were created by Ortega.

And Ortega exudes an extremely strong and pure malice towards this world.

"Hatsushiba Makoto, a super genius who could solve advanced mathematics when he was a child, was rejected by everyone around him, including his parents, because of his arrogant words and deeds. This rejection eventually evolved into domestic violence, and ended with Hatsushiba Makoto's disappearance. When he reappeared, he was already Ortega."

This time it was Ming Hai who spoke up.

As a detective, he began his investigation on the day the Outlaws officially announced their existence. His first target of investigation was Ortega, a cadre who exuded contempt and malice towards the world and other people.

"I see. He's a super genius. No wonder he looks different from the other two guys." Red crossed his arms and thought for a while before saying, "That is to say, unlike Aguilera and Frio, Olutega knows a lot. As long as we can capture Olutega alive..."

"I don't recommend you to do this. He is a very cunning man, and the demonic power he uses brings out his cunningness to the extreme. You will never be able to tell whether the one appearing there is his clone or his real body. Once you fail to capture him, you won't even be able to find him next time," Montana folded his arms across his chest and let out a long breath.

"Maybe... he knew you did something to Aguilera."

Reid raised his eyebrows slightly, but was not too surprised.

"So? If this is all the information, there is no need for us to meet offline."

"Young people are so impatient."

"Uncle, please turn your head back for a moment."

"..."

"About demonic powers, of course."

Seeing that Ming Hai was about to cover his face with his hat again, Montana immediately raised his voice.

"Aren't you curious about the reason why the Desperate Clan created and Phoenix collected the devil seals?"

……

Igarashi Ikki sneezed violently.

Although it was near the end of the semester, Amanokawa High School was not so hellish that there were surprise exams every day. The teachers of each subject took out the test papers and explained each question one by one. The teaching was so detailed that even a 24-year-old man like Igarashi Kazuki could understand it.

"Hey~ Ikki, school is so boring, why don't we go over the wall and buy some fried noodles and bread."

Weiss's face emerged from the back of Igarashi Ikki's classmate in the front row and gradually moved up to the back of his head.

If other people saw it, they would be scared away by this terrifying second face, but no one except Igarashi Kazuki noticed Whis.

If Whis had not materialized in the form of a contract, Igarashi Ikki would have almost suspected that there was no devil named Whis in this world, and he simply had a split personality.

"Brother Ikki! Let's play football together this afternoon!"

Just as Weiss was moving his face back and forth on the back of the student in the front row as if playing a prank, an excited call came from the back door of the classroom.

The members of the Amanokawa High School football club were crowded at the door and waving in the direction of Igarashi Kazuki.

Igarashi Kazuki put down the test paper that was basically fully answered, smiled and nodded to the members of the football club.

"it is good--"

"promised!"

The members of the football club who received Igarashi Kazuki's promise cheered and walked through the corridor in a lively manner at the reminder of the teacher in the next classroom.

As soon as the members of the football club left, the freshmen in the classroom gathered around Igarashi Kazuki and asked him all kinds of questions with curiosity on their faces.

The football club is a well-known star club in Amanokawa High School. The football team of Amanokawa has won several gold medals. It is no exaggeration to say that more than half of the girls in Amanokawa High School want to become managers of the football club, and more than 80% of the boys want to join the football club.

The boys were more active than the girls in asking Igarashi Kazuki about various matters related to the football club.

Because he is the eldest son of his parents, Igarashi Kazuki, who has long been accustomed to the noise, patiently answered one by one. The gap caused by the age difference was gradually eliminated under Igarashi Kazuki's sunny smile and patience, and the curiosity of the first-year high school students about Igarashi Kazuki gradually shifted from the football club to Igarashi Kazuki himself.

When the teacher of the next class came to the classroom, he was surprised to find that the classroom was peaceful and all the students were gathered around the adult Igarashi Kazuki.

Although surprised, the teacher did not forget his responsibilities. He clapped his hands to signal others that it was time for class. He waited until everyone returned to their seats before taking out the test paper and preparing to start explaining it.

Everything was in order, and Igarashi Kazuki no longer had the awkwardness and hesitation he had at the beginning as a 24-year-old man sitting in the same subject with a group of high school students. He sprinted towards his goal with all his might.

When the last class ended with the ringing of the bell, Igarashi Kazuki put away his thick notes, picked up his schoolbag, and walked down the teaching building to the football field where the football club was training amid the cordial farewells of others.

The members of the football club had already returned, but they did not start training. Instead, they were getting ready and seemed to be planning to go somewhere else.

Igarashi Ikki was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what they meant.

"Have you contacted them yet?"

"Oh - I've already contacted you early in the morning, Brother Yihui, let's set off quickly!"

They were naturally referring to the students of Blackwater High School.

"Let's go!"

Amanokawa High School has strict school rules, but they do not restrict students' freedom, especially when it comes to working hard for their dreams. As long as they don't go too far, the teachers at Amanokawa High School will turn a blind eye. So even when they saw the members of the football club marching out of the school gate, the gatekeeper didn't say much, but just told them to go home early.

When we arrived at the crude football field, the weird students from Blackwater High School were already there.

Just as Igarashi Ikki raised his hand to greet the weird students of Blackwater High School, Weiss suddenly whispered.

"Ikki, it smells like a devil."

Chapter 782 Good Brother

"Uncle, if we turn back now, we might still be able to catch that guy—"

Red suggested casually as he followed behind Narumi, his hands behind his head.

The guy was referring to Montana, of course.

This meeting was very delicate. He did learn a lot about the Demon Seal and had some guesses, but these did not touch the real core.

Red's intuition told him that Montana had something else up her sleeve.

So he was seriously thinking about whether he could get useful information out of Montana by knocking him out and taking him back to torture him.

"It's useless. Even if we torture him severely, he won't reveal anything we want. Besides, I've already got the information I need."

Ming Hai, who was walking in front, raised his hand and waved.

"The predecessor of Phoenix is ​​the Noah Organization. As long as we know this, many clues will be connected together, but we are still missing some evidence."

"Evidence..."

Reid felt a little emotional.

Even though he knew that Phoenix's predecessor was the Noah Organization, he couldn't just jump in and blow up Phoenix.

The Phoenix and the Outlaws are most likely smoke bombs or traps thrown by the Devil's Contractor. There is no need to step on either one.
