Knight Asylum

Ishido So gave an awkward cough and raised his hand to push up his sunglasses.

“I’m just having fun guaaaaa——”

Before Ran Shidongso could finish his words, he was disintegrated by the whirlpool and was finally eaten by the Transcendent Rabbit.

After seeing this scene, Danrito silently moved a chair and sat next to him.

Feeling that the world had finally quieted down, Kiryuu Sento let out a long breath and stared at the screen, lost in thought.

"Information processing, overload... fever..."

……

When he began to investigate, Red noticed some embarrassing problems.

Almost a whole day has passed since four thousand Amazons escaped from the laboratory. God knows how far those Amazons, who have abilities that surpass those of humans as described by Shuize Linghua, can run.

In describing Amazon's appearance, Mizusawa Reika did not say much, and the only useful information was that there was a special collar on its arm.

What’s even more embarrassing is that the earthquake destroyed a wide area of ​​Dopant and almost all the surveillance equipment was destroyed.

With so much unfavorable information piling up, it is simply a fantasy to find the Amazons who have escaped.

"then--"

Qiao raised his hand and threw the coffee can, which spun a few times in the air and perfectly missed Red's raised right hand and hit Red's head.

"it hurts……"

"You can't even catch it? Before, you could do a backflip and then hold it with your head."

Qiao walked forward quickly, pulled apart Red's hair, and after confirming that there were no wounds, she breathed a sigh of relief, rolled her eyes, and knocked Red's head hard. Red had been secretly hugging her thighs since then.

"Do you think I would do such a boring thing?"

Red complained and spread his hands.

"I will definitely bend down and catch it with my forehead."

"I'm sorry, I misjudged your level of boredom."

Qiao complained and sat next to Red with a cup of coffee. After a pause, she moved away, but seemed to feel it was a little far and moved back.

Unfortunately, the distance that satisfied her didn't last long before it was destroyed by Red's sticky behavior.

Qiao pushed Red's face with disgust, but that was all her behavior of disgust.

As they rubbed against each other, Red's head slid onto Qiao's thigh. After a slight adjustment, Red rested his head on Qiao's thigh, crossed his fingers in front of his chest and looked up at the sky.

"...Coincidentally, although it may seem a bit rude to say so."

"What's wrong."

"The sky is only half left."

"… so long-winded."

After five minutes of this, Red jumped up, moved his body left and right, and nodded vigorously.

"Okay - my energy is fully restored, let's continue investigating -"

"What's your body structure?" Qiao rolled his eyes and glanced at the corner.

There, the cute mascot was emitting a terrifying aura as if it had just run out of a horror movie. A little further away, a man wearing glasses who looked probably very gentle was looking in their direction with a... somewhat perverted, happy smile.

"Red, you've worked really hard—"

Chapter 969: The Citizens' Overly Strong Nerves

Red had not collected any useful information about Amazon until the evening, and some [S·L] citizens...didn't even know about it.

That nonchalant attitude made it seem as if what escaped from the laboratory were not four thousand Amazon test subjects, but four thousand wild dogs and cats.

In fact, Ruide understands this quite well.

After all, [S·L] encounters world-destroying crises every now and then, and people who can live calmly in such a city must have extremely strong nerves.

Red wanted to end it there and continue the investigation the next day, but unfortunately an annoying guy blocked their way.

"Isn't this Red? What a coincidence~ Ah - let me guess your purpose -"

Zhan Ji Lingma raised his left hand to stop Reid's movements, held his forehead with his right hand, pretended to be in deep thought, and then snapped his fingers.

"I guess you two are on a date, right?"

"...Since you knew that, why did you still jump out? Are you trying to annoy people on purpose?"

Qiao rolled his eyes, not trying to hide his hostility.

But this was like a tickle to the extremely thick-skinned Zhan Ji Ling Ma.

"It is not to make your date more, um, interesting that I, Zhan Ji Ling Ma, have decided to become the NPC who provides special events during your date to promote the improvement of your favorability."

Zhan Ji Lingma put his hands on his hips and raised his chin proudly.

"..."

"Red, let's go."

"Well, let's go."

Seeing that Red and Qiao avoided him tacitly, Zhan Ji Lingma immediately laughed awkwardly, picked up a silver box, opened the box to Red like a salesman, and showed the red juicer-shaped driver inside.

"Let me introduce you to my latest research, the Genesis Drive. Combined with my special energy lock, it can give humans... well, powerful strength to fight against the dominant aliens."

"Would you like to try it?"

"Red, believe me, if it were you, you would definitely be able to unleash even greater power!"

Zhan Ji Lingma's incessant and boundless sales promotion made Qiao extremely irritated, and finally Qiao couldn't help but stop Reid behind him.

"You guy - after all this talk, you just want to let Red be your guinea pig to test your drive!"

Red blinked, thought for a moment, and hugged Qiao from behind.

Qiao's mouth twitched, but he didn't kick Red away.

"Regarding this matter, Takatora has already tested the Genesis Driver on his own body and confirmed that it can be used, so I brought it to you," Sengoku Reima blinked, "How could I do such a shameful thing as giving you a tool that I haven't tested at all."

"Well... Is Guihu okay now?" Red hesitated and asked cautiously.

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay. I was released from the ICU this morning," Zhan Ji Lingma said with a sunny smile.

Not to mention Red, even Qiao was silent.

What is making careless friends? This is probably what making careless friends is.

"Red, this is Takashi's intention—"

Perhaps he realized that Red would never accept the driver under normal circumstances, so Zhan Ji Lingma's face changed immediately. His sad expression made it seem as if Wu Dao Guihu was about to die.

"He told me to give you this drive no matter what."

"Hey, hey, hey——A self-torture trick——"

The corner of Red's mouth twitched. He saw Zhan Ji Lingma's intention, but this was also the dirtiest part of Zhan Ji Lingma.

Takatora Wudao is a good man, and a good man who will sacrifice himself when necessary, so it is very possible that he went to test the Genesis Drive by himself and then ended up in the ICU.

"So, now Takato is fine, right—"

Reid raised his hand and clapped it, picking up the Genesis Drive and putting it in his pocket.

"It's not the first time," Zhan Ji Lingma spread his hands and then opened his coat with a "whoosh". There were locks of different styles hanging on the inside of the clothes.

Those locks are completely different from those on the market, and the outer shells have a crystal texture.

"These are all special energy locks I made. Their performance is several times that of normal locks. Pick one? Do you like lemon? Or melon? Ah - I recommend dragon fruit. This is my most satisfying work."

“…Give it all to me.”

Zhan Ji Lingma blinked and then widened his eyes in surprise.

"Really? Are you sure?"

“But I’m not sure they will all be used.”

Red walked forward and took the lock seeds from Zhan Ji Lingma's jacket one by one and stuffed them into his pockets like a fruit farmer. Soon, the pockets on both sides of Red's jacket were bulging with lock seeds.

"Rather, the use of your drive itself should also be questioned."

"Oh...ah, I see. That's true."

At first, Zhan Ji Lingma was a little surprised, but after thinking carefully about the configuration around Reid, he calmed down.

There is only one reason why Red doesn't use his belt, and that's because he's not good at it.

Just practice cooking more.

"Mm--I understand. Although it's sad, this is an unchangeable fact."

This time, Zhan Ji Lingma did not sacrifice Wu Dao Guihu.

"However, I hope you can use my belt when dealing with issues related to Helheim Forest."

"……Eh?"

"Huh? Don't you know? Ah, no wonder, the World Tree Foundation is quite attentive in handling this matter," Zhan Ji Lingma put one hand on his waist.

"Helheim Forest is invading [S·L] with the help of the Desire Grand Prix. Cracks in Helheim Forest have appeared in many places."

After a brief pause, Zhan Ji Lingma tilted his head.

"After you lose your powers."

"Eh!??"

Red really didn't know about such a big thing.

Red didn't think that Kiryu and Sento and the others would deliberately hide it from him. This was a big thing that couldn't be hidden at all.

In other words, the World Tree Foundation really handled it well?

"How did you... handle it?"

"Ah~ Do you still remember the game Overlord Alien?" Zhan Ji Lingma took out his mobile phone from his arms and tapped the screen to bring up two new game apps.

"We have prepared two new games. One is called Alien Go, where we can capture the Aliens that escape through the special equipment we prepared."

"There is also a game called Overlord Alien VS, where players equip the War Driver we made as armored knights to hunt down the escaped Aliens."

"what?"

"I'm not bragging, these players are really crazy. They use those dangerous cracks as leveling points and keep an eye on them 24 hours a day. There's no way for the foreigners to get out alive."

"Ah...By the way, I set those Kamen Riders from the Desire Grand Prix to be rare monsters."

Zhan Ji Lingma put his hands on his hips and seemed helpless, but in fact he was smiling smugly.

"But don't worry, all the devices are set to prevent entry into Helheim Forest."

Chapter 970: Battle with Ji Lingma: I'm Awesome

In order to prove that what he said was not false, Zhan Ji Lingma immediately said that he could act as Red and go to the nearest crack to take a look at the situation.

After discussing for a while, Red and Qiao decided to go and see what was going on.

The location of the crack is not very far away, and it can be reached by walking for a few minutes. Along the way, Zhan Ji Lingma kept explaining how popular these two games are in trying to get Red to join in.

In response, Red just gave a few perfunctory answers, and his right hand subconsciously clenched the inner pocket of his jacket.

The lock seed that Luo Xiu'ao gave him was lying there quietly.

As the owner of the Golden Fruit and the king of the overlord aliens who covet the Golden Fruit of the Earth, Luo Xiu'ao must know that he is the biggest obstacle to obtaining the Golden Fruit of the Earth.

Now that he has lost his ability to transform, this is the best opportunity to kill him.

Afraid of Promith's existence?

Then why is there no intention to take back this lock?

Too many questions made Red's mind a mess.

Qiao, who had been paying attention to Red's expression, reached out and hooked Red's fingers and squeezed them hard.

"Red, it's okay—"

The warmth and strength from the fingers brought Reid back to his senses, "Sorry—"
