Knight Asylum

Sometimes, because Red drove fast, Qiao would subconsciously tighten her clothes and lean on Red's back.

They are lucky that the weather is normal now, but they don't know how long it will last.

Reid drove the car to the harbor, where many tourists were taking videos and photos. From time to time, seagulls would land on the guardrails with the sound of whistles, waiting to be fed by tourists.

The fat and cute appearance made the tourists laugh.

After parking the car, Red leaned on the motorbike, put his hands in his pockets and looked out at the endless ocean.

"What are you thinking about now?" Qiao held the helmet without looking at Reid.

"I'm not thinking about anything," Red shook his head, "I just suddenly wanted to come here to enjoy the sea breeze, but it looks like I can't do that."

As soon as Reid finished speaking, a blinding flash of lightning struck, and the sky was instantly covered by dark clouds, and a fierce rainstorm fell without warning.

The tourists who were still taking photos shouted and hid their electronic devices in their arms as they rushed towards the nearest building. The seagulls, which seemed to have lost their wildness due to the food thrown by the tourists, flapped their wings and flew away in the lightning.

“Hahahaha—that’s bad, right—”

Reid, who was soaked like a drowned rat, laughed and turned his head to look at Qiao. The sudden heavy rain also soaked Qiao. Her originally loose clothes were filled with water, so they drooped down, outlining Qiao's curves.

"Oh~"

After expressing his opinion in one syllable, Red raised his hand to signal Qiao not to do anything. He consciously took out the Faiz belt and put it around Qiao's waist.

"Are you stupid?" Qiao rolled her eyes and stopped Reid's action.

"Eh——you're not going to do it?"

"Hey - stop making it sound like I'm some kind of pervert, okay!"

Qiao pressed Red's face hard and pushed him back. Seeing Red's smirk, Qiao became even more speechless, but after being speechless for a while, Qiao fell silent.

Since Red remained silent, Qiao spoke tentatively in a low voice.

"This time, it's not just a simple intuition, right?"

"It's not the first time—"

Red turned around and opened his arms towards the rain, replicating the scene in The Shawshank Redemption where the protagonist escaped from prison and embraced the rain.

"Well - the Desire Grand Prix is ​​indeed very tricky. Although we have conquered the Vision Drive and created the Sigma Sphere, their most important trump card is still a mystery to us."

"Not only have they teamed up with the devil, they've also captured a bunch of hostages. How many things have they prepared? Haha - so many that even Sagara couldn't help himself."

Qiao opened his mouth and reached out to grab the clothes on Red's back.

"Are you going to lose?"

“…I will win.”

Red grinned confidently, the rain running down the frame of his face.

Looking at the little surprise from God displayed on the screen, Niram, who was sitting alone in the conference room, clenched his fists.

"It seems... there is no way to avoid it."

Niram let out a long breath, and a sharp light shone in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Red, it looks like we'll just have to be enemies."

The door to the conference room opened and the female secretary leaned out.

"Lord Niram, Lord Siel wants to discuss some details with you regarding the game in three days."

Chapter 910: The Fighting Team and the Science Team that is Good at Fighting

"Brother Yihui, hasn't the elder brother replied to your message yet?"

Igarashi Sakura leaned her head out of the door and asked cautiously, then immediately turned her head away with a nervous look on her face, worried that her voice was too loud and would be heard by her parents.

"Hahaha—this guy is so funny."

"You are interesting without the child's father——"

Seeing that her parents were immersed in the TV program, Igarashi Sakura breathed a sigh of relief and quickly slipped into Igarashi Ikki's room and closed the door.

The ponytail that had been straightened and washed back into black swayed gently behind Igarashi Sakura's head.

"not yet--"

Igarashi Kazuki put down the pen in his hand, looked at his mobile phone, and shook his head helplessly.

"Big Brother is really...ah - Brother, are you...doing homework?"

Only when I walked into Igarashi Sakura did I notice what was in Igarashi Ikki's hand. It was the exercise book of Amanokawa High School, and the content seemed to be for the second grade.

Her brother seemed to be enjoying high school life to the fullest, even at this time.

"Hmm? Yeah—"

Igarashi Ikki smiled and waved the pen in his hand.

Unexpectedly, Igarashi Kazuki would admit it so readily. Igarashi Sakura was somewhat discouraged. She sat on Igarashi Kazuki's bed in a huff and glared at Igarashi Kazuki's back.

"Whoosh-"

That is the sound of the pen tip flying on the paper.

"Brother Ikki!"

Igarashi Sakura angrily walked forward, grabbed Igarashi Ikki's shoulders and shook him back and forth vigorously.

"Let's do the exercises later! The situation is really bad right now! Big Brother is probably doing something very dangerous!"

Because she was worried that the Igarashi couple would hear her, Igarashi Sakura didn't raise her voice too loud even though she complained.

"Sakura, I know what you're worried about. You should trust Daiji more--"

Igarashi Ikki put down his pen somewhat helplessly.

"You don't believe him?"

"I... am not saying that I don't believe him," Igarashi Sakura curled her lips, but ultimately did not say the word "don't believe". After muttering to herself for a while, Igarashi Sakura grabbed her hair hard.

"Really - because sophomores always look like they're going to do something stupid!"

"Trust the second year, if he really does something stupid."

The cell phone next to Igarashi lit up, and a text message with Reid's name on it popped up. After taking a look at the content of the message, Igarashi was briefly depressed, then stood up, put his hands on his hips, and nodded cheerfully and confidently.

"It's our responsibility as a family to stop him!"

"Ok!"

Encouraged by Igarashi Kazuki, Igarashi Sakura also strengthened her thoughts and stood up straight.

"Hey——you're really full of energy——"

"Lablab!"

The illusory West held his chin in thought, and the legless Lab could only pull back and sway.

"That's right, Lab. The devil in that guy is completely different from us in nature. Ah~ What interesting things will happen next? Fufufu——"

"Weiss, you know we can hear you right?"

"Oh my~ This is such a bad idea——"

Three days passed in a flash. During these three days, the black-robed devil's looting behavior did not stop, but even intensified. His elusive movement and the unstoppable posture eventually caused panic in [S·L]. Rumors of the devil's revival spread among the citizens, and the increasingly severe weather increased the credibility of the rumor.

Reid and others who knew the ability of the Desire Grand Prix naturally knew how the Devil Black Robe appeared and disappeared silently, but it was a pity that the Desire Grand Prix was determined to avoid them, and they could not stop it even if they wanted to.

There was still one hour left before the time given by Qirami, and Igarashi Kazuki and Igarashi Sakura arrived at the Zhinao Group in a miserable state.

The weather today is extremely bad. It is only ten o'clock in the morning, but it is already pitch black outside. There are fierce thunderstorms mixed with hail. Many companies have generously chosen to give employees holidays in their leave requests. Even the fearless delivery boys have chosen to give themselves a way out in the face of this abnormally excessive weather.

"That's why I said... I'll drive to pick you up."

Red handed the towels to the Igarashi siblings and couldn't help but complain.

"sorry--"

The Igarashi siblings looked at each other and then bent down obediently.

At first they thought that abnormal weather could be solved by momentum, so they not only simply refused the pick-up service, but also... chose to rush on bicycles.

It turns out that they were too ungrateful.

As a girl, Sakura Igarashi went to the locker room under the guidance of Mari Sonoda, while Igarashi Ikki took off his coat and wiped his hair with a towel.

The cheerful big brother's look made someone from the Never team cover their face and exclaim that he was so charming.

"So what's the battle plan?"

"If you mean the battle plan that you can't let your sister know about, no—"

Igarashi Kazuki paused in wiping his hair, smiled bitterly, and bent down.

"Thank you - I believe in the second year, but if there is really a chance, I will stop the second year!"

"Then I'll ask you to work harder when dealing with the demon later. Perhaps, only by burning the demon's power can we avoid large-scale casualties," Reid patted Igarashi Kazuki's shoulder.

"Weiss and I will try our best!"

Kurim, who was adjusting the data of the Sigma Sphere, looked up and pushed up his glasses.

"Red, Phoenix is ​​ready, but... that man called Akaashi Hero, my intuition tells me that he is dangerous and cannot be trusted."

Because Phoenix was labeled too incompetent, the commander Yujiro Wakabayashi was demoted and replaced by a man named Hideo Akaishi.

Unlike the righteous Yujiro Wakabayashi, Hideo Akaishi has the look of a warlord, so when the other party readily agreed to cooperate in assisting the hostages... everyone, even Red, felt that something was wrong, something was weird.

"Yes, I know—"

Red pressed his shoulders and shook them up and down and sent a message to King.

"Then I'll leave the hostage rescue to you. Let's go and place the Sigma Sphere first."

Kiryu Sento snapped his fingers, and the Transcendence Rabbit jumped up and swallowed Ishido Soichi who was trying to sneak away in one gulp, then jumped and shrank into the hat on the back of Kiryu Sento's coat under Manjo Ryuga's nervous gaze.

The main goal of the Desire Grand Prix is ​​probably to take back the Vision Drive from their hands. In order to prevent it from being stolen, they chose to split into two groups this time, with the science team bringing the Vision Drive and the Sigma Sphere to attract the attention of the Desire Grand Prix.

I don't know who will come to the science team, but judging by the way Danrito and Kiryuu Sento are rubbing their hands together, it's probably going to be a miserable thing.

As for the fighting faction, Red, the Never Team, the Igarashi siblings, Hidetoshi Ukiyo and others directly rushed into the devil's face.

It is worth mentioning that Manzhang Longwo was assigned to the science group as a prop.

"Then - let's go as planned -"

The organizers of the Desire Grand Prix are also making pre-war preparations.

As the game administrator and initiator, Chirami was tied to a chair at this moment. Because his mouth was stuffed, he could only make pitiful whimpers. In his bloodshot eyes, he gradually reflected Kit who was getting closer and closer with a syringe in his hand.

"Chirami, don't be nervous, this is just to add more excitement to the next game."

More figures came into Chirami's eyes.

There is Ortega, there is Manyo Tenjuro, and there is... Sonosaki Saeko.

Chapter 911: The Giant of the Tower

Lightning flashed, and dark clouds surged in the heavy thunder and gradually condensed into a black vortex. Pale white lightning flashed and illuminated the dark building under the vortex.

The raindrops fell and splashed water on the goggles.

Red raised his hand, took off his helmet and let out a long breath. A gorgeous figure in the rain blocked his way. The beautiful red rose was bent by the heavy rain, no longer as proud as before.

Red put his helmet on the mobile Pegasus, came to Baluba, took the umbrella from her hand, opened it with a bang to block the heavy rain, raised his hand and patted Baluba on the shoulder, then walked towards the dim building.

Baluba tilted her head, the rain dripped down her face, and her eyes were dim.

When he arrived at the building, Red did not enter immediately but tapped the headphone on his right ear.

"This is Red, how's the comms?"

"This is Igarashi, the voice is clear."

"This is Ukiyo Hidetoshi, there's absolutely no problem."

“This is Never——”

Reid let out a long breath. The abnormal weather did not destroy his perception ability, but it did interfere with his perception accuracy. He needed to spend more energy to distinguish the noise.

But the building was very quiet and I couldn't hear any movement.

This is very wrong. In such extreme weather, I can't even hear the sound of rain hitting the glass?
