Knight Asylum

Hua Xing's tone suddenly changed, becoming cold and ruthless, leaving no room for negotiation.

"I have only one request. From today on, Zhinao Group is prohibited from using resurrection surgery. That is a technology developed by me. As the president and the person who has full authority to develop the technology, I have the power to decide whether or not to continue using this technology."

"Mr. Hanagata, this is impossible. Do you know how many people were saved by the resurrection operation?" Red exhaled and denied it with an extremely firm attitude, "Do you know...how many families can be saved by the next resurrection operation?"

"Next...no one can be saved."

"what?"

"You should know the principle of the resurrection surgery," Hua Xing's eyes became extremely deep, "Essentially, it is to reproduce the process of Ophiino's awakening, so that people who were originally unable to be resurrected can be resurrected."

"Once dead, a person is dead. What keeps that body from dying is the Ophino factor."

"And those who possess the Orphino factor... in a sense, are no different from Orphino."

"They may even gradually awaken and become Ophirno."

Reid opened his mouth, paused briefly, took a deep breath, and held his forehead. "I don't understand. You are also Ophiino, right? Then you should know better than anyone that Ophiino's identity is not the decisive factor in determining whether you are a good person or a bad person."

"Ophino, not a monster."

"I'm telling you, they are no longer human in terms of their physical structure."

Hanagata turned her back to Reid, clasped her hands in front of her, and her fingers gradually tightened.

"Red, the world is constantly moving forward. The weak and hopeless races will be eliminated in waves again and again."

"I don't know."

"Golden, fruit——"

Red was stunned and stood up suddenly, staring at the flower-shaped back.

"That is the fruit that will inevitably come and determine what form civilization will take. The person who will eat that fruit is you, right, Red?"

Huaxing tilted her head, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes.

"The moment you eat the fruit, all humans will begin to evolve in your direction. Those who cannot do so will be eliminated. However, if it were you, the civilization you created would never abandon any weak person."

"So, those who will be eliminated are the humans who have completed their evolution and are no longer qualified to keep up with you."

"Ophiino, all those who carry the Ophiino factor will be eliminated naturally the moment you eat the golden fruit."

Chapter 974: Only five-year-olds have the right to cry and make a fuss

The mediation ended here.

It would be better to say that from the very beginning, Hanagata's goal was not to mediate, but to convey a message to Red.

convey--

[Once you eat the golden fruit, all the Ophienos and those who carry the Ophieno factor will die]

This information.

Red sat on the steps, staring at the sky in the distance.

"What's wrong? You look so confused."

Kitaoka Hideichi put the iced coffee on Red's face, and the cold touch made Red shudder with gratitude.

"Not really, hesitating—"

Red took the coffee and shook it.

“It’s just that I don’t understand.”

How did Hanagata determine that it was him who could eat the golden fruit, and how did he determine that Ophiino could not live in the world after he ate the golden fruit.

"There are too many incomprehensible things in this world. God knows how long it will take to sort them out one by one," Kitaoka Hideichi leaned over and sat on a step higher than Red, raising the coffee in his hand towards the distant sky.

"But I know the weather is good today, suitable for going out on a date."

"Ha - Lawyer Kitaoka, I must emphasize that although you were not resurrected through the resurrection surgery, your illness was cured through similar steps. If -"

Reid complained as he scratched his hair angrily.

"What Hanagata said is true. You are dead too."

"So? Everyone will die sooner or later. I have decided to live to the end handsomely and elegantly. Ah - don't worry, even if I die because of this, I won't grab you and yell why I died," Kitaoka Hideichi smiled indifferently, "and - it's hard for me to imagine what the world would be like if someone other than you ate the golden fruit."

"It's exciting to think that all of humanity is evolving towards you."

"...This is not funny at all," Reid couldn't help but roll his eyes, but his body also relaxed a lot, and he lay down with his hands behind his head.

If, the flower shape is serious.

Then some of Huaxing’s behaviors can be understood.

The best way to avoid those who have finally come back to life being buried again is to respect death and not start that process.

Once you start, the question is no longer as simple as right or wrong.

Resurrection is right, and not resurrecting is also wrong. There is no doubt about it no matter how we argue.

But if it is buried again because of personal will, it is undoubtedly wrong. Life is not so cheap.

Hanagata started it all with the resurrection surgery, so Hanagata also intends to end this ambiguous cycle of right and wrong by himself.

"Then - wouldn't it be fine if it became a world where anyone could survive?" Kitaoka Hideichi said casually.

"Eh... is it really that simple?"

"Anyway, work hard. Isn't this your only talent?" Kitaoka Hideichi stood up with a smile and patted his pants. "Next, it will probably be a long battle, but don't worry, since you have accepted the commission, I will keep helping you fight for my winning rate."

"That's a huge help."

"However, I must remind you that Hanagata is determined to ban the resurrection operation. Anything can happen next. However... judging from your expression, you don't need me to encourage you."

Kitaoka Hideichi glanced in the direction of the mascot doll and spread his hands.

"Then I won't disturb you."

After saying that, Kitaoka Hideichi whistled, got into his sports car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away.

"This guy……"

Red let out a breath, stood up with the help of the steps, and waved in the direction of the mascot doll.

As she floated, a zipper moved out from under the hood and opened to both sides, and Mari Sonoda was spat out with a plop.

"How does it feel—"

Red squatted down and poked Mari Sonoda's head with his finger.

Maybe because she was squeezed too tightly, Mari Sonoda now has a bit of the scent of Medusa.

Red subconsciously looked up at Medusa. Just as he was about to imagine the posture of Medusa and Mari Sonoda inside the doll, Medusa raised her furry palm and covered Red's face.

"If you were crying and rolling on the ground, yelling "Daddy, I miss you so much" or something like that, I could just pretend not to see it—"

Mari Sonoda, who was feeling a little depressed and felt like she would burst into tears any second, forced herself to hold back her tears.

"Who would cry? Do you think I'm a five-year-old child?"

"Isn't he a five-year-old? That's great. Only a five-year-old has time to cry and wait for others to solve this terrible thing."

Reid reached out and held Mari Sonoda's face, pinching her little round face with his thumb.

"Then, let's fight with something other than a five-year-old's skills."

"……Um!"

Sonoda Mari's eyes gradually became firm and she nodded vigorously.

"Ah, Zhenli, have you been eating too many buns recently..."

"This sentence is unnecessary, stop pinching my face! It will only get bigger!!!"

Mari Sonoda pushed Reid's hand away angrily, bowed in the direction of Medusa to express her gratitude, then turned around and took a step forward confidently as if she had aged several years in an instant.

"..."

"Gone!"

Because Reid and Medusa were standing there motionless, Sonoda Mari couldn't hold it back and rushed back with a red face.

……

The stream of data fell, and five knights wearing animal masks of different shapes formed a line in the stream of light.

【Game Start——】

The moment the light screen lit up, the knights rushed out in unison, but before they could take a few steps, a series of stray bullets fell, knocking them off their horses.

“Did it really appear here?”

Ukiyo Hidetoshi, wearing the MarKⅡ armor, fell down, pointed the muzzle of the laser jump driver in his right hand at the knights who had not yet recovered, and fired while asking questions.

"What is your mission this time?"

Laser beams refracted and intersected in the alley.

Only the knights with small buckles fought hard, but were still blown away.

"Hey, hey, hey! The difference in equipment is too big!"

"Can't you give me some good equipment?"

The boar-headed knight angrily waved his bow and arrow towards the sky.

"This voice... Are you the contestants of the previous Desire Grand Prix?"

Ukiyo Hidetoshi paused.

“Hey - Lord Ace, who has won consecutive championships, actually remembers us, the eliminated little characters. It really makes us feel honored,” the bat-headed knight said sarcastically and slapped the small buckle of the propeller in his hand.

"No, I don't remember you. I just simply feel that the cannon fodder that the Desire Grand Prix can use now are only the players who were eliminated in the Desire Grand Prix in the past."

Ukiyo Hidetoshi tilted his head and moved the muzzle of his gun upwards, aiming at the knight wearing a white fox mask and Magnum armor.

"And the one who fought to death for the Grand Prix of Desire."

Ace has been reincarnated more than five times.

"Don't you understand very well?"

Ace stretched out his right hand, and a MarKⅡ buckle exactly the same as the one on Ukiyo Hidetoshi's waist appeared in his hand.

Chapter 975 This is generally called kidnapping

Two fiery red figures crossed each other in the alley. The other air riders wanted to take advantage of the chaos to attack and gain an advantage, but with only small buckles, they were not even a stake in this high-level battle.

"Did you win me?"

The two fists collided in mid-air, and sparks flew out.

Ace just chuckled, and with his left hand he buckled his belt, turned it to the other side, and did a backward somersault. The armor deformed in mid-air, and in a blink of an eye Ace turned into a fiery red mechanical fox.

A scorching heat wave erupted with the fox as the center, and all the knights who had not yet had time to escape were blown away on the spot, their bodies turning into countless data and dissipating.

"boom--"

A red halo was swung out, and the mechanical fox blasted out like a stream of light, sprinting and bouncing in the narrow alleys to form an attack network with no blind spots.

When the data are the same, the person who takes the initiative first and is ruthless will be the winner.

Ukiyo Hidetoshi gritted his teeth and gave up defense, pressed down his belt, and turned the Mark II buckle to the other side. The laser leap sublimator made by Kiryu Sen and Danrito by deciphering the technology of the Vision driver fell and overlapped with the Mark II.

【Dual On! Hyper Link! 】

The beast mode Geats turned its body in mid-air, with its tail spread out from behind and dark blue flames spurting out.

【Laser Boost! 】

The white armor fell on the Mark II armor in an interlaced manner, and dark blue particles flowed out from the goggles.

At this moment, the speed and destructive power of the beast MrakⅡ reached its maximum. The broken sound barriers were stacked layer by layer, and the beast's claws swung towards Ukiyo Hidetoshi's neck.

【Ready Fight! 】

At the moment when the sharp claws fell, Fu Shi Yingshou turned around like a feather blown by the wind, easily dodging the full-power attack of the Beast Geats, and swung down with his right fist.

"I see. You rely on your companions to—"

Ace didn't even have the chance to finish his words as Ukiyo Hidetoshi's fist had already landed, and the Mark II armor that was built on the desire to save the world shattered along with Ace and the Mark II buckle.

Red spots of light spread out and flowed towards the Mark II buckle on Hidetoshi Ukiyo's waist.
