Knight Asylum

Medic slowly opened his eyes, and the back of Mirei Hatori, who was standing in the darkness in a black dance dress, gradually overlapped with Reid's back.

She had always felt that the feeling was the admiration of a weak woman watching a hero fight against fate, so single-minded admiration was enough, and nothing else mattered.

Covered with scars and wearing a black dance dress, Meiling Tamao fights again and again. The steps of the swan's death have long passed, but she still does not stop her dance, and the sound of the violin, which has already reached the end of the score, rises again.

"boom--"

With a heavy roar, Red, with white smoke and electric arcs all over his body, staggered and fell. Behind him was the Earthquake Dopant, which was riddled with holes and fell down and disappeared.

When the rescue machinery dug open the ceiling and the sunlight dispelled the darkness, Meiling Tamadori, wearing a black dance dress, gracefully thanked the people in the audience.

The bright moonlight and the calm lake were such a suitable place for the beautiful swan to die. Even there, it could have become a beautiful story.

The purpose of fighting is not to leave a heartbreaking ending, but to win, to defeat fate.

Even though her body was stained black, her heart still sparkled.

The black swan broke free from the mud and flapped its wings towards the sky, but this time she did not die.

Chapter 959: I can easily kill you, but I have the qualifications to protect you

Human beings are the most fragile creatures in this world, and death always follows them.

The more humans try to resist this fate, the more terrifying the concept of death becomes, and the things they create to avoid death also become weapons that kill them.

Perhaps the most terrifying of these is the death of the soul.

It only takes one compromise and a person will die. After repeated compromises, the person there will become a completely different person with the same appearance.

But not compromising means countless serious injuries, and those scars will never disappear.

"…Isn't that good? That's proof of victory."

Mirei Tamatori, wearing a black dance dress, said to Medic with a smile.

With the help of rescue equipment, the buried opera house saw the light of day again. Miraculously, no one was injured.

"I'm sorry, Lord Reid, I messed up the task you gave me--"

Medic bowed to Red very solemnly. This time, Brain rarely laughed at him but lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"The performance ended successfully, and you also healed the audience's injuries. If you mean super evolution..."

“This kind of thing is not something that can be done in a hurry.”

"No, it was about the performance. I...performed it with contempt, and it was a mess."

Medic clutched her skirt tightly.

Red scratched his face.

It's a good thing that Medic is reflecting seriously, but it would be a bit exaggerated if he continued to be so depressed.

Reid subconsciously looked at Brain.

Brain blinked, and suddenly realized what was going on. From an angle where Medic couldn't see, he put on his luggage with a righteous look on his face, spun around, and used an extremely difficult kneeling slide and waist bend to get next to Medic.

“Ah, aha, aha, aha, wasn’t this the Medic who boasted about super evolving? How come it’s gone in less than an hour—”

"Goo-"

As expected, as soon as Brain made a move, Medic couldn't hold back any longer.

"Hey, hey, hey——what's that expression of yours now? Do you want this expression to super-evolve? You're not——"

"You want to evade responsibility with such an expression!?"

"Brain——About the Mega Evolution thing!"

Medic, who was choked by Brain, clenched his fists tightly and smiled with a forced smile.

"I'm almost super-evolved—"

"Eh? What did you say?"

Brain's expression froze instantly, and his perfect lower back collapsed to the ground with a snap.

"I'm about to super evolve," Medic stood up straight, raised his hand to shake his hair, looked down at Brain, and emphasized, "Soon--"

At this time, Kiryuu Sento also poked his head in and added, "According to the data, this is indeed the case. The digital core and the optical mechanism are very stable and are undergoing further integration. This is a sign of super evolution."

"Varied!?"

Even Kiryuu Sento had spoken, so Brain had to believe it no matter what.

"That's exactly what happened. It's such a pity—"

"Goo-"

Red scratched his hair, hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and waved, "I'm very happy, Medic--"

Brain covered his heart and his body suddenly twitched before he slowly lay on the ground on his side, while Medic squatted down and smiled sweetly at Brain.

"Next~ After my super evolution, I will be able to help Master Red, Brain, you just need to watch here-"

An arrow with the words "Watch Here" pierced Brain's body. Just when Medic and everyone else thought that Brain was going to bite the handkerchief, Brain stood up silently, bent down, and turned to leave.

The unusually calm and indifferent reaction stunned everyone.

"Brain, you're not going to be angry," Philip said in a low voice. "That's right. Real anger is actually silence or something like that. That's what people say on the Internet."

Kiryuu Sento hesitated for a moment and looked at the screen that was displaying the data of the Brain digital core and the optical mechanism. Just now, the data had increased. Although it was not at the level of Medic, it was one step closer to super evolution.

Kiryuu Sento's face was full of question marks.

He remembered that Red's judgment of Brain's super evolution opportunity was jealousy, and judging from Brain's usual reactions, that was indeed the case.

But if Brain had exploded with jealousy just now, there should have been a corresponding reaction. How could he just leave silently?

The genius physicist felt he had encountered the problem of the century.

At this moment, Brain came to the fire escape. After a brief shake, Brain fell to his knees with a plop, supporting himself with his hands.

"Is this true? Hey..."

After leaving the laboratory, Red did not return to the office, but went straight to the bedroom, yawning all the way.

Today is my first battle since I lost the ability to transform into Kuuga.

Danrito's new player driver has extremely strong performance, and it can easily eliminate the Demon Knight with its performance alone. If he has the upper hand, he can beat those Ge-level Gurongi that rely on the point system half to death with one set of moves.

But the opponent was able to kill him instantly.

Reid subconsciously raised his hand and touched his chest.

At that time, if he had not reacted quickly enough, there might have been a hole in his chest.

And what is the purpose of those [Angels]?

Medusa said that was an enemy, but this enemy saved him in the end and crushed Gurongi to ashes. Judging from his reaction... it seems that he has always been nearby.

"Really... there are more and more problems..."

Reid sighed subconsciously and pressed the door handle. As soon as he took a step, he felt a wave of fatigue coming over him, and his vision became blurred.

One of the many problems after losing the transformed Kuuga.

Physical recovery has deteriorated.

Aguru's transformation is continuous, so before Aguru disappears, he rarely feels tired, and he is still very energetic even if he stays up late.

Just as it was about to make an intimate contact with the floor, a furry arm suddenly stretched out from the side and wrapped around Red's neck.

After a while of rolling, when Red forced himself to be clear and open his eyes, he was leaning on a furry, soft object like a cushion.

"I see... Medusa? Why are you here?"

"..."

The cute mascot headgear became the best cover, and as long as Medusa remained silent, he would know nothing.

"You've become weaker...very weak, so weak...that I can kill you easily."

The arms around Red's body gradually tightened, and the cute hood slowly opened, revealing a big mouth with black hair, which became scary.

"It seems that this is indeed the case... To be honest, I am so tired now that I can't even lift a finger. It's probably because of the adrenaline."

The cute hood opened its big mouth and bit down hard to swallow Red's head.

In the deep darkness, Red's eyes reflected Medusa's cold face and those strange eyes that could turn anyone who looked at her into stone.

"So... I am qualified to protect you even though I can easily kill you."

"You are not allowed to refuse."

"My sage."

Chapter 960: Rice Bug Maker

"..."

"..."

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"Ah, this... you blushed, so..."

"It's stuffy and you must be tired. Close your eyes and go to sleep!" Medusa closed her eyes and turned her face away awkwardly. Her soft black hair wrapped around Reid's eyes, forming a black eye mask.

"Really, it makes me feel at ease..."

“…This is all I can do.”

Medusa clenched her fists.

The power of the phantom born from the wreckage of despair is limited. The more she wants to deny it, the more she has to face this reality.

Reid's position was too high. In the face of a world-destroying disaster and enemy, her power was as weak as a candle flame.

Before, she didn't care because Red was very strong, so strong that she was always... blind.

But today, she was awakened by a bucket of cold water.

"Power, more powerful...power..."

It was already midnight when Red woke up.

The special doll costume is very soft both inside and outside, so it can be used as a bed. The only problem is whether the person wearing the costume will cooperate.

Seeing Red wake up, Medusa let go of her hair and helped Red stand up.

After stretching his body to relax it, Red covered his stomach with his shoulders, paused briefly and let out a breath.

"...Hmm - I'm hungry -"

Reid looked at Medusa. At this moment, Medusa was motionless, just like the ghost behind her.

After being together for so long, Red also knows Medusa's character. If she doesn't say a word, it means she doesn't want to talk.

Red let out a breath, and under the urging of hunger, Red decided to find something to eat.

If we contact Murakami Kyoji and Takuma Itsuki, it will probably cause quite a stir. As for the laboratory...

Red thought back to the scene of Kiryu Battle Rabbit and Kurim eating energy bars...

Forget it.

After thinking it over again and again, Red decided to go to the cafeteria of the building.

Even though it was late at night, the cafeteria of Zhinao Group had special staff to take care of midnight snacks. Red wanted to keep a low profile and just take some steamed buns, but the spirit behind him was too conspicuous and could not be hidden at all.

After a lot of trouble, all kinds of things were placed in front of Red. Red wanted to refuse, but could not resist the expectant looks of the chefs, so he had to smile bitterly and show off.

"Boss! Try this!"

"President! This is the snack I developed first!"

"President!"

Afterwards, a sign prohibiting feeding the president should be put up.

Just as Red picked up the snack with a wry smile and was about to put it in his mouth, the cute mascot opened its mouth and swallowed Red's forearm. Its soft lips slid across his fingertips and took away the snack in his hand.

"Ah - sorry, everyone, maybe next time -"

Red paused in surprise for a moment before reacting and smiled helplessly at the chefs.

With the chefs' farewell, Red left the cafeteria. Holding his bloated stomach, Red couldn't help but let out a sigh.
