Knight Asylum

Mari Sonoda, who was eating a bun, opened her mouth wide, and the girl following behind Reid nodded shyly.

"Long time no see, Truth."

"Long time no see Saya!!!"

Mari Sonoda walked forward with the buns and hugged Saya Kimura tightly. Saya Kimura was stunned for a moment, then smiled gently, raised her hand and gently patted Mari Sonoda on the back.

"You are so good at picking up things."

Qiao raised his hand and hit Red on the head with his fist, rolling his eyes and complaining.

"Was it intentional or accidental?"

"It was intentional at first, but halfway through it became accidental."

Reid stuck out his tongue, glanced at the bag that was sandwiched between Sonoda Mari and Kimura Saya, and was being tightly protected by Kimura Saya's left hand, without saying a word.

Qiao noticed Red's gaze and was about to say something when Red stopped her with his hand and pushed her aside.

Qiao naturally knew what Red was thinking. She gave him a fierce look, crossed her arms over her chest, and snorted.

Chapter 967: Only 4,000 Experimental Subjects Ran Away

After Sonoda Mari and Kimura Saya reunited, Red explained the situation.

“Eh?! The special forces created by dad are hunting down Saya and everyone from Meteoric Academy?! Why?!”

"...Mari, I must emphasize that the unit only used belts that could be made by Hanagata. It does not mean that the unit was established by Hanagata. And... that Kurumi Reina was just following Kimura—"

"Well - just call me Saya," Saya Kimura, who was holding Sonoda Mari's arm, patted Sonoda Mari's shoulder helplessly.

"Hmm - that Kurumi Reina was just following Saya, she wasn't necessarily chasing her, so... why are you glaring at me?"

Red was speechless. For some reason, Sonoda Mari was staring at him angrily, and her round face looked like it was about to explode.

"Why do you just call Saya by her first name? You've always been Sonoda Sonoda when it comes to me."

"Ah~ I see, this is indeed a problem!

"That's right, that's right."

"So, Sonoda, Kimura, what are you going to do next?"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have an opinion."

The steamed bun deflated instantly. Seeing Sonoda Mari being humiliated, Kimura Saya couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Really! Saya, you're making fun of me too!"

"I'm sorry, Mari, I just feel relieved that you look very happy," Saya Kimura smiled gently and raised her hand to pinch Mari Sonoda's face.

"What? You're talking as if we're about to part ways," Sonoda Mari subconsciously tightened her grip on Kimura Saya's arm, "You don't want to leave, do you? It's very dangerous outside now. You should stay with us until we find out the truth of the matter."

"This……"

"Yes, although I don't know what your adoptive father's purpose is, that special forces unit is now targeting your Meteor Academy. They know what you look like, and they may have a way to track you," Reid saw that Kimura Saya was about to leave, and tried to keep her.

"Besides, if you are here, you will be able to see Hanagata."

"This... I understand. Sorry for disturbing you during this time," Kimura Saya's eyes flickered for a moment and she bowed politely.

"welcome--"

"But I can't eat and drink for free here."

Qiao and Sonoda Mari shuddered at the same time, and their eyes gradually shifted away. Saya Kimura's gentle smile was so dazzling that they could not look directly at her.

"Even if it's just cleaning, please let me do something, otherwise I won't be able to live with it."

Reid looked at Sonoda Mari silently.

"...Don't, don't look at me. I, I'm not like this..."

Mari Sonoda covered her face in shame and shrank smaller and smaller.

"Truth?" Saya Kimura tilted her head in confusion.

"Don't worry about it. As for the work issues... well, I will find someone to arrange it. Besides, Zhenli will also guide you, right Zhenli?"

"Gu--Yes, I will! Come on, Saya, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with your post!"

Sonoda Mari stood up with a red face, grabbed Kimura Saya's arm and walked towards the door. Because of the big movement, the bag in Kimura Saya's hand slipped and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Saya Kimura's expression immediately stiffened.

"That, that..."

Under Saya Kimura's nervous gaze, Reid bent down, picked up the bag and handed it to Saya Kimura with a gentle smile.

"Don't worry, it's okay, you can treat this place as your home."

Saya Kimura blushed, lowered her head in panic to catch the bag, and nodded slightly.

"Saya, you..."

Mari Sonoda widened her eyes in surprise.

"Go, go, Truth!"

Saya Kimura's face turned even redder and she pushed Sonoda Mari out.

"That weight..."

Red hooked his fingers, put his hands on his hips and smiled helplessly.

"It seems like she doesn't fully believe us yet."

"Eh? Really?" Qiao snorted coldly, "It's hard to say."

"Hey - Qiao, you're not jealous, are you?" Red blinked, and walked in front of Qiao with a meaningful smile as if he had discovered something.

"...At this point, do you think I'm still angry about this level of provocation?"

Qiao rolled his eyes, turned around and sat back on his desk, propping his hands back on the surface, "So? Did you find the fourth mechanical life form that you mentioned that can super evolve?"

"He did find it, but he obviously lacks confidence now. He is just a little bit away from super evolution—"

Reid snapped his fingers.

“Just a little bit, really.”

"But, that last little bit is the hardest to overcome, right?" Qiao said helplessly, "But, that is also the only option at the moment, right?"

"Now we can only wait with hope. Fortunately, there is no—"

Before Reid could finish his words, the office door was pushed open and Zhuoma Yiran rushed in hurriedly.

"President! President! Something tricky has happened!"

"..."

Qiao spread his hands to express his helplessness.

"Don't worry, take your time."

"Because of the previous earthquake, the test site of Nosakuma Pharmaceutical Company was destroyed. It is said that at least four thousand special individuals that were cultivated escaped!"

"Zhao--urgent, urgent, urgent!"

This is [S·L]. On the surface, it seems to be a wonderful society where monsters and humans live in harmony, but secretly it is the most dangerous place in the world. Every day there are countless dangers, new folders for horrific experiments, and countless experiments that fail.

So it is not surprising that four thousand individuals cultivated from Amazon cells escaped from the laboratory.

At the press conference, a capable middle-aged woman was explaining the cause of the accident to reporters. A plaque with her name was placed in front of the woman.

Mizusawa Reika

The earthquake Dopant penetrated the foundation of the field laboratory and directly destroyed the entire field laboratory along with its multiple protective walls.

A completely force majeure event.

As for the harm done to Amazon individuals, Mizusawa Reika did not conceal anything.

They are stronger than humans and eat people. Although they all wear special collars that inject medicine at regular intervals, accidents cannot be ruled out.

For more realistic people, [S·L] is full of monsters that are stronger than humans and can kill humans at will.

Four thousand may sound exaggerated, but throwing it into [S·L] is like throwing a stone into the ocean. You may be able to see a splash at first, but if you yawn, you can't see the splash anymore.

"Sento, what do you think?" Reid turned his head to look at Sento Kiryu, who was staring at the screen with a frown.

"It's hard to say. There aren't that many coincidences in this world, and... we already suspected that Nosakuma Pharmaceutical had other purposes."

Kiryu Sento lowered his head, raised his hand and slid it, and the press conference switched to the company page of Nosakuma Pharmaceutical.

"Just a few hours ago, Nosakuma Pharmaceutical, under the special permission of the [S·L] government, announced a drug that can quickly heal injuries and even repair necrotic organs."

"Maybe..."

Kiryuu Sento said slowly.

"It will replace the position of resurrection surgery in [S·L]."

Chapter 968: Only half of the sky is left

Humans are a compromise creature.

The smaller and less serious the problem is, the more hypocritical demands humans will make. Relatively speaking, the bigger and more serious the problem is, the smaller humans' demands will be.

Death has always been the biggest and most serious problem faced by mankind, so humans are very tolerant of resurrection surgery that can overcome death, so tolerant that there are almost no requirements.

The fact that the corpse is incomplete and cannot be resurrected is not a problem with the resurrection surgery, but a problem with the corpse.

Ever since resuscitation surgery was included in medical insurance, no one has ever expressed dissatisfaction with it.

The same will happen next... provided that no so-called competitors emerge.

There is no doubt that the special drug announced by Nosakuma Pharmaceutical will become the biggest enemy of resurrection surgery in history.

Under normal circumstances, Red would not have any objections, and might even think it was a good thing, as it would avoid more tragedies and deaths.

Kiryu Battle Rabbit had the same idea.

Science is used to benefit mankind.

But Nosakuma Pharmaceutical was very abnormal, especially at this critical juncture, the [common] incident of 4,000 test subjects escaping happened.

"Battle Rabbit, based on your experience, what will happen next?"

"…Amazon cells have been modified into some kind of weapon by them, but there is a lack of combat data. If they are used directly, it may leave traces and arouse suspicion. Therefore, whether it is drugs or test subjects escaping, these are all smokescreens used to cover up some kind of weapon."

"The worst case scenario is that someone is being deceived into thinking they are a hero and are actively working for them to collect data."

Ishido Soichi coughed, awkwardly avoided Kiryu Sento's gaze, and whistled guiltily.

"I don't know what you've been through, Sento, but... thank you for your hard work," Reid walked up and patted Sento Kiryu on the back.

Kiryuu Sento shook his head, his chin raised and his brows raised, "But, Red, don't you think it's too sudden?"

"Yes... it was quite sudden. Or rather, there have been too many things happening recently," Reid thought for a moment, then put his hands on his hips and sighed.

"There's the matter of Truth's foster father, the matter of the devil, and now there's the matter of Amazon. Plus there's a global accelerated freeze that could happen at any time. My brain is almost overloaded."

"Overload? Perhaps, this is their purpose," Kiryuu Battle Rabbit narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Ah? Them? The Desire Grand Prix? Are they trying to keep us busy?"

Reid couldn't help but complain.

"Then they were indeed mostly successful. Now I am indeed planning to go out and find those test subjects. How dare they say something like cannibalism directly at a press conference."

Kiryu Zhantu frowned.

He really wanted to know the answer, but he lacked some key information and was completely unable to piece the answer together. This feeling was no different from torture for a scientist.

"Then Battle Rabbit, I'm going to go find those test subjects first."

After saying that, Red put on his coat and rushed out. I swayed left and right for a while, then raised my hand and shouted, "I'm going too!"

Kiryu Sento glanced at Manjo Ryuga and said nothing.

"Really, Sento, don't make that expression - relax a little, you think too much."

Ishido Soichi rolled his eyes, walked over to Kiryu Sento carelessly, put his hand on Kiryu Sento's shoulder, took off his hat and fanned Kiryu Sento.

"Really? You've been doing odd jobs for the organizer of the Desire Grand Prix recently, right? Are you hinting to me that my speculation is correct?" Kiryu Battle Rabbit raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Well - who knows, but, Battle Rabbit, you know my -"
