Knight Asylum

"Why don't you resist a bit?" Red felt very annoyed. Shimamoto Nagi was no longer introverted, but autistic.

"Even if you resist, you can't change anything..."

Nagi Shimamoto curled up her body and buried her face in her knees, not caring at all what Red thought of her.

Hua Jiada and others in the observation room also felt a toothache, and Hua Jiada's toothache was the most severe.

Maybe in the eyes of others, treatment is the doctor's job and the patient just needs to pay, but as a doctor, he knows better than anyone that if the patient does not cooperate during the treatment, the difficulty of treatment will increase exponentially.

He has seen too many cases where a minor illness suddenly turned into a major illness because the patient failed to say one thing or did not take it seriously.

And Nagi Shimamoto is the type of person that doctors fear the most. She cooperates but is not proactive, and won’t say anything unless asked, leaving the doctor to guess.

He now seriously suspected that if Red hadn't thrown his punches randomly without following the routine, they might not have known about the Rainy Night Demon.

Unfortunately, even if we know it now, it is useless. Shimamoto Nagi's negative attitude is still there. It is obvious that after so many years of being eroded by fear, Shimamoto Nagi's heart is almost broken.

"The next time gaming fever strikes, she'll probably be wiped out."

Danrito said calmly.

"No matter what the purpose of the rainy night demon is, when the next rain falls, his purpose will be achieved. It is meaningless now."

After saying that, Tan Lidou turned around and prepared to leave. How could I, the annoyed head of the Hua family, just let Tan Lidou go like that? Without thinking, I immediately stepped forward and pressed Tan Lidou's shoulder.

"Hey! You wanna just walk away?!"

"Doctor Hua, this person was [killed] a long time ago."

Danrito tilted his head, clasped his hands across his chest, and said something helpless that made Hana Kadagi angry. Ukiyo Hidetoshi stood up and tried to dissuade him, but at that moment the door of the observation room was roughly opened and Simon Nicole hurried in.

"Big Me! Trouble is coming! The police are here, or that... special action team against machine lifeform crimes! They said our patients are related to a machine lifeform crime! They are rushing in aggressively!"

My heart skipped a beat and I had a very bad feeling. "Which patient is it?"

Sima Nicole didn't say anything, but the look she gave the observation window gave them the answer.

It's Nagi Shimamoto!

What's even worse is that Dan Lidou was still quietly adding to the situation at this time.

"Doctor Hana, the good news is that the virus in Shimamoto Nagi is not contagious right now, but the bad news is that as soon as it rains, she will be destroyed, and this mutant Gamedus will be fully formed."

"If you stay indoors, you can avoid witnessing the rain and then the pressure surge being eliminated. But if you are taken outside, it will be a complete disaster."

“Thanks for your complement!”

Hua Jiada yelled at me and scratched his hair angrily.

He is a doctor belonging to CR, and CR belongs to the [S·L] International Security Department which is composed of all departments including the Ministry of Health. If there is a conflict with the police, especially the special operations team just established by the United Nations Security Minister, the situation will become very bad.

He is not a fool, so it is not such a coincidence. There must be something fishy behind this investigation. But since the other party dares to act like this, they must have made adequate preparations. The worst case scenario is that the fishy is in the police station and his position is not low.

“There’s nothing I can do—”

Hidetoshi Ukiyo raised his hand and made a pistol gesture towards Hanaie Daiga and Nico Shima.

"Doctor Hua, Miss Xima, you are being held hostage."

"?"

"Not allowed to move!"

The door of the observation room was kicked open, and uniformed police officers rushed in with guns in hand. Their American aura made it seem as if they would empty the magazines if there was any unusual movement.

But when they saw the situation in the observation room, they were stunned. Hua Jiada and Simoniko were tied up in a corner with tape on their mouths. A small card with a fox logo was hanging above their heads.

[Excuse me——Superstar Ukiyo Hidetoshi]

On the rooftop, Hidetoshi Ukiyo put his hands in his pockets and looked at the sky with emotion.

"I don't know if I can increase my reward this time."

"I think so. It's already that amount. Any increase is just a token of appreciation." Red complained and poked his head in the direction of CR Affiliated Hospital. "But I didn't expect them to move so quickly."

"These people only act so quickly at this time," Tan Lidou crossed his arms across his chest and said with disdain.

Shimamoto Nagi looked at the three people chatting in front of her with a blank expression. She didn't know how she got here, but now she seemed to have become a nobody.

But it doesn’t matter anymore…

Shimamoto Nagi looked up at the sky. The originally clear sky was gradually covered by dark clouds, and the air began to become sticky and humid.

The rain is coming.

Shimamoto Nagi's breathing began to become rapid and her body gradually became weak. Fear had already seeped into her body, even overshadowing the anger she felt when her father was killed.

The demon of the rainy night ultimately underestimated the terror he brought. There was no need for heavy rain to remind her. Every night and every day, she prayed, but the heavy rain only completely crushed her.

Dark clouds obscured the sky, the shadows took away the light in her eyes, and she murmured almost subconsciously.

"I'll die in the rain..."

Before he finished speaking, the thick dark clouds dissipated in an instant.

Everything happened so suddenly, just like the rainy night that ruined her life.

"Eh?"

"Can you do it from such a long distance?" Hidetoshi Ukiyo sighed.

"Ah... As long as it's within my field of vision, I can do it. So... within the field of vision is a description? I thought it was a metaphor."

Feeling Shimamoto Nagi's gaze, Red turned his head to look.

"I will dispel the dark clouds that want to take your life, until you can say goodbye to the heavy rain, ah——"

Red emphasized with a raised finger and a bright smile.

“This is not a metaphor.”

As the dark clouds dispersed, a huge rainbow rose up and appeared in Shimamoto Nagi's eyes.

Chapter 873 You are already a pervert

"Quetzalcoatlus, also known as Quetzalcoatlus, is the largest flying creature known to mankind. Its name comes from the Quetzalcoatl in the mythology of the Aztec civilization."

Red pushed up his black-framed glasses, turned around and tapped the picture of Quetzalcoatl on the blackboard with his fingers.

Shimamoto Nagi, who was sitting on a chair, hesitated for a long time and then raised her hand and asked, "Well, what does this have to do with me?"

"Nagi, you should have heard of Gaia Memory. It was rampant some time ago, and then it was confiscated because it was out of control," Reid pulled out a photo of the Quetzalcoatlus Gaia Memory from his bag and shook it.

Shimamoto Nagi's breathing stagnated and she subconsciously avoided the gaze, not daring to look at the photo.

"It looks like you still remember it," Reid exhaled and put away the photo, "This Gaia memory is very special."

"It extracts the Earth's memory about Quetzalcoatlus, but memories are updated. With the development of human civilization, many memories will undergo different changes. Of course... if it is just a fantasy in memory, it's fine, but Gaia Memory can extract the Earth's memory and overwrite it, making things that don't exist in the world become reality."

"Of course, the less information there is, the more vague the concept is, and the more difficult it is to extract and create Gaia's memory."

Shimamoto Nagi opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but finally remained silent.

"To put it simply, now that the Aztec civilization has been destroyed by the Spanish, it is extremely difficult to directly create the memory of Quetzalcoatl Gaia. It is almost impossible. But it is possible to use the related Earth memory to...upgrade it?"

After thinking for a while, Reid felt that the word "upgrade" was more appropriate.

"The image of the gods is derived from human fear. Quetzalcoatl and Quetzalcoatl are the same thing in a sense, except that they lack one thing, which is fear."

Red raised his finger and pointed it at Shimamoto Nagi's forehead.

"And you are the sacrifice called fear that allows the memory of the Wind God Pterosaur Gaia to be transformed into the memory of the Quetzalcoatl Gaia. Your fear will fill the last gap in the memory of the Wind God Pterosaur Gaia."

"That's why the demon on the rainy night didn't kill you. His purpose was to make fear take root in your heart, so that you would fear him as you would a god."

"He's like a fruit farmer who applies fertilizer to you, waiting for the day when the fruits are harvested to take everything away?"

"So, do you understand?"

Shimamoto Nagi nodded cautiously.

Red put his hands on his hips and muttered helplessly.

"Do you want to die? Can you show some resistance?"

"Even if you say that... I don't know what to do," Shimamoto Nagi shrank her neck.

"Well, to put it simply, as long as you're not afraid anymore, it'll be fine," Red crossed his arms over his chest and tilted his head. "But, after years of playing in the rain, your body has become something that will react as soon as it rains. It's not realistic to ask you to change immediately."

"Um... could you please not describe my condition in such a subtle way?" Shimamoto Nagi crossed her arms and protested softly, "It makes me sound like a... a pervert."

"Reason tells you that you should never be afraid on rainy days, right?"

"……Yes."

"But when it rains, you will shiver non-stop, right? Even if you keep saying no, you just can't control yourself."

After a brief silence, Shimamoto Nagi silently covered her face.

Ukiyo Hidetoshi picked up the coffee and took a sip, then glanced subtly at the suggested device provided by Danrito for detecting the proliferation of gaming disease.

Even though Shimamoto Nagi looks self-doubting now, the Gamedus virus in her body is at a fairly stable stage.

"Humans are actually very weak creatures. While wisdom makes humans strong, it can also become a stumbling block for them. Faced with extreme fear and under the oppression of powerlessness, people will succumb and accept it. Fear can even turn into some kind of emotion, from rejection to desire. Of course, it is more appropriate to describe them as broken," Reid reached out and patted Shimamoto Nagi. "People like this are generally called perverts."

"I, I'm not a pervert..." Shimamoto Nagi retorted, but her weak look was really unconvincing.

"I see. Although it's very weak, you still seem to have a little bit of resistance in you," Red pointed with his fingers, "but that little flame alone can't dispel the heavy rain. You have to add fuel to the fire yourself."

When she heard that she had to rely on herself, Shimamoto Nagi subconsciously crossed her arms and whispered tentatively.

"Didn't you...say that you would disperse the heavy rain that was trying to take my life?"

Ukiyo Hidetoshi frowned slightly.

The psychological trauma that the heavy rain brought to Shimamoto Nagi was much more troublesome than he expected.

"Sure, but from today on, I'll follow you wherever you go. Is that okay?"

"It doesn't matter."

"I'll sit in your back seat while you go to school."

"can."

"When you go shopping, I'll be no more than fifty miles away from you."

"please."

"When you sleep, you'll see my face as soon as you lift the covers."

"Eh? Wait..."

"I'll make sure to keep my eyes open when you're taking a shower so I don't miss anything."

"Wait, wait a minute!"

"Oh, of course, I can also provide you with some benefits, such as singing to you when you go to the toilet."

“Is it necessary to go to this extent?!”

Shimamoto Nagi suddenly stood up and shouted with a red face.

Ukiyo Hidetoshi coughed.

But it is obvious that Reid is more heavyweight.

"……Have it?"

Red's clear eyes made Shimamoto Nagi feel that she was the one with the problem.

"I told you before, I dispersed the dark clouds so that you can say goodbye to the heavy rain." Red tilted his head, "Have you ever thought about what you would do if one day I couldn't withstand the heavy rain? Would you continue to cry in the rain and wait for the next person?"

Shimamoto Nagi was stunned, "Will you... lose to that devil?"

"…Is this the point?" Reid turned his eyes away.

He was indeed feeling very troubled now, because the Rainy Night Demon, also known as Isaka Shinkuro, knew that he had no chance of winning, so he had no intention of showing up to challenge him.

Shimamoto Nagi sat back weakly, looking blankly at the picture of Quetzalcoatl pasted on the blackboard.

"Is this okay?"

"Everything you had was taken away by that heavy rain. Your life after that was chased by the heavy rain and lost its color. Are you really willing to be wiped out like this?"

Ukiyo Hidetoshi put down his coffee.

Although he didn't know whether Red was playing the villain or the hero, he felt he should say something.
