Knight Asylum

"Let's not talk about this for now," Red held the girl's shoulders and pushed her forward, and asked softly, "Do you remember your name?"

"Me...Zil, I think my name is Metzl."

"Anything else?"

"Sorry……"

Red couldn't help but sigh, but soon cheered up and was optimistic. At least Metzl still remembered his name. As long as he knew the name, he would be able to find Metzl's friends or family quickly.

But Red soon found that he had thought the problem too simply. When he suggested that Metzl be hospitalized first and then pick her up the next day, Metzl began to cry sadly, looking pitiful as if she was abandoned by the world. The doctor on duty also said with great regret that the inpatient department was now full, and that Metzl only had amnesia and there was no big problem. As long as she stayed with Red, she would not become mentally unstable, and it was impossible to vacate the patient for Metzl.

After all this, Red had no choice but to decide to take Metzler to a hotel near Qingmingyuan University to stay for one night.

After Reid and the others left, the doctor on duty yawned and sat back in his seat. "I feel like... I forgot something. Never mind——"

The translucent jellyfish tentacles spread up along the legs of the doctor on duty. Under the desk, transparent cocoons were slowly wriggling.

----

Red took the keys handed over by the front desk and threw one of them to Mari Sonoda. At first, Mari Sonoda didn't think there was anything strange, but when she saw Metzler following Red as a matter of course, Mari Sonoda reacted.

"Wait! You two live together!?"

"There's nothing I can do. Didn't the doctor tell me not to stay too far away from Metzger? Don't worry, I'll sleep on the sofa," Red helplessly put his hands on his hips. Metzger, who was standing behind Red, raised her hand and quietly pinched Red's sleeve. His pitiful look could arouse any man's desire to protect him, but in the eyes of women, it was no different from a provocation.

Mari Sonoda felt that Metzl was increasingly suspicious.

After all, what time is it now? One or two in the morning, why would Metzl be there at this time, and why didn't she have any identification on her? Maybe... Metzl didn't lose her memory at all!

After thinking for a while, Sonoda Mari gritted her teeth, turned around and ran to the front desk, slapped the key in her hand, and shouted under the surprised gaze of the front desk staff, "We only need one room, cancel this one!"

After saying that, Sonoda Mari turned around, strode towards Red, and grabbed Red's arm, "Alright! It's getting late! Let's go to bed quickly, we have things to do tomorrow! Hey - why do you have such an expression, I'm doing this for your own good!"

Red put away his annoyed expression and rubbed his forehead. "I don't care. Are you sure? We haven't even known each other for 24 hours, right?"

Sonoda Mari blushed and put her hands on her hips, "I don't care! Let's go!"

Unable to persuade Mari Sonoda, Red had no choice but to take the key and take the elevator to Room 302 under the admiring eyes of the front desk clerk.

Considering the privacy issue, Red consciously stood outside the room while the ladies were taking a shower. Originally, Red thought he might have to wait for more than an hour, but less than twenty minutes later, Zhenli, with a blushing face, pushed open the door and waved to Red, her voice uncharacteristically weak and embarrassed.

"We're done."

"It's still not too late to get another room now," Red complained, holding his waist with one hand.

"I'm doing this for your own good," Sonoda Mari curled her lips, opened the door and waved.

Because they had just taken a shower, the room was filled with a faint fragrance. Beautiful girls who had just taken a shower were shaking their white legs in the room.

Reid sighed deeply, took a quick shower, turned off the lights, lay down on the sofa and fell asleep. Sonoda Mari was a little troubled and couldn't fall asleep, but she was only troubled for a while and then fell asleep too.

At ten past five, Metzler opened her eyes, slowly stood up, glanced at Mari Sonoda who was lying next to her with her back to her and breathing steadily, then got out of bed sideways, stepped with her white legs, and walked silently to the sofa. She squatted gently, raised her hand to tuck the hair that almost fell to the tip of Red's nose behind her ears, stared at Red's sleeping profile, and slowly raised her right hand to touch Red's face.

"What are you doing?"

The silence was broken by a crisp low chuckle. Metzger paused with her right hand and slowly stood up. Sonoda Mari, who should have been fast asleep, had woken up at some point and was sitting on the bed, staring at her.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Mazel smiled at Sonoda Mari and said, "I was just a little uneasy. Now that I see he's still here, I feel much better."

Even Mari Sonoda had to admit that although Metzler was young, she had a strange maternal temperament and a fatal attraction. There must not be many men who could ignore Metzler's charm.

"You don't actually have amnesia, right?" Sonoda Mari narrowed her eyes slightly and simply expressed her thoughts.

Metzler did not answer, but just smiled meaningfully, and under the vigilant gaze of Sonoda Mari, she returned to the bed very naturally, covered herself with the quilt, turned her back to Sonoda Mari, and her breathing soon became steady.

Mari Sonoda stared at Metzger. She had a terrible feeling that Metzger was not asleep at all.

After all this, Mari Sonoda lost all desire to sleep and could only stare at the ceiling, thinking about all kinds of things to kill time. Metzger, who had her back to Mari Sonoda, slowly opened her eyes. Her right hand hung down from the side of the bed. Thin tentacles stretched out from under the bed and disintegrated the moment they touched Metzger's right hand. Silver coins fell on her arm but did not bounce off. Instead, they merged into Metzger's arm incredibly quickly.

Mazel licked her lips gently.

"Good boy..."

----

Sano Mitsuru carefully poked his head in.

"Brother Zhipu?"

As soon as Sano Mitsuru stuck his head out, he felt a strong wind coming and he dodged subconsciously. The glass hit the wall and shattered with a bang. The college students standing outside the door were frightened by the exaggerated noise and took several steps back. Their intuition told them that whoever came forward at this time would become Shibatake Jun's punching bag. However, Sano Mitsuru, who was usually good at reading the atmosphere, acted like a fool and walked around the debris on the ground towards Shibatake Jun who was sitting in front of the smashed game console.

"Wow - Brother Zhipu, what happened to you? What happened to your hand?"

Shibatake Jun glanced coldly at the grinning Sano Mitsuru, put his bandaged right hand back, stood up and walked to another game console that had not been smashed, "Nothing."

"Brother Zhipu, I heard that there was an accident~ah~it's a pity, but that's the way it is, if you want to accomplish extraordinary things, you must have extraordinary means."

Sano Man held his chin up and looked up, looking thoughtful.

"If this game doesn't have a little bit of difficulty, wouldn't it be very boring?"

Shiba-jun paused in his irritable shaking of the handle. Sano Mitsuru, who had been secretly observing Shiba-jun's movements, was delighted and immediately moved closer to Shiba-jun, "Brother Shiba, that's Sylvie Tulia. The accident means that he treated your mirror story as a real story."

"Brother Zhipu, you have succeeded! Brother Zhipu, you are really amazing!"

With Sano Mitsuru's sincere praise, Shibatake Jun's eyes were no longer gloomy, and he regained his usual arrogant and confident expression.

"That's right, otherwise the game would be boring!" Zhipu Jun stood up suddenly, "And I didn't lose!"

"That's right! Brother Zhipu, how could you possibly lose!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost adjusted by Sano Mitsuru, the college students who had been hiding outside the door came in one after another and surrounded Shibatake Jun. You expressed your admiration for Shibatake Jun one by one.

"Brother Shiba, Selvi Tulia's people will definitely come again. What should we do next?" Sano Mitsuru handed the black box to Shiba Jun.

Looking at the black box in Sano's palm, Shibamoto Jun felt a strange emotion flooding in his heart. When he reacted, the black box was already in his hand, and a rhinoceros pattern appeared on the surface.

"Where is Kirishima Mihui?" Shibaura Jun clenched the black box in his hand and glanced at the people around him.

"I, I'm..."

Kirishima Mihui squeezed out cautiously. Trembling under the malicious eyes of the people around her, Kirishima Mihui was like a white goose falling into a pack of wolves.

"You betrayed me, right?" Jun Shibaura tossed the black box in his hand.

"No, no! I didn't do it on purpose. They forced me to do it!" Kirishima Mihui's face turned pale and she gestured with her hands anxiously.

"It doesn't matter what happens in this situation. You messed it up, but I'm giving you a chance now," Shibaura Jun held the falling black box tightly.

Upon seeing this, Sano Mitsuru immediately came to Kirishima Mie's side, took Kirishima Mie's hand, and slapped a check on Kirishima Mie's hand, "Kirishima, you need money to take care of your sister, right? It's okay, Shibaura brother is very generous."

Kirishima Mihui's eyes flickered for a moment, then she gritted her teeth and clenched the check in her hand.

On the broken screen, a black figure turned and left.

Chapter 100 Isn't this Anku? How come we haven't seen each other for hundreds of years?

"That's why I booked two rooms."

The dark circles under Sonoda Mari's eyes twitched her lips, and she gave up the urge to argue with Red about this matter. She rubbed her eyes and complained, "So, what should we do today? Shibaura Jun, or her?"

As she spoke, Mari Sonoda glanced at Metzler who was holding Red's arm, and subconsciously puffed her cheeks.

"Let me think... Jun Shibaura is not in a hurry. He will most likely come to us on his own initiative. Let's solve Metzl's problem first," Reid said slowly after frowning and thinking for a while.

"I agree, but how should we do it? Wander around Qingmingyuan University?"

"No—there's a better way."

"any solution?"

"Hongshang Fund."

Although the matter of Jun Shibaura could not be delayed, he could not take the amnesiac Metzl with him to solve the problem of Jun Shibaura. It was too dangerous. Metzl had already lost his memory after being pushed down the stairs by Jun Shibaura. If any accident happened again, he would really feel guilty.

For some reason, Qiao has been staying in Hongshang Fund and has neither returned nor replied. Now going to Hongshang Fund is a good opportunity to meet up with Qiao. The two of them should be able to solve Shibaura Jun's problem more safely.

With the capabilities of Hongshang Fund, it should be able to find Metzler's residence and family quickly.

The only thing to worry about is that this is also part of the plan of Hongshang Fund, but... is it possible?

Red glanced at Metzger, and Metzger happened to look at him. Maybe she sensed Red's doubt, but Metzger hugged Red's arms tightly. Her pitiful look dispelled Red's doubts.

Maybe his investigation into the Mirror Ghost Story was part of the Hongshang Foundation's plan, but no matter what, it was impossible for the Hongshang Foundation to arrange for someone to be pushed down the stairs by Shibaura Jun. This was too inexplicable.

After figuring it out, Red stopped thinking about it. He packed up, paid the bill, called a taxi, and arrived downstairs at Hongshang Fund. Red saw the Mobile Pegasus parked on the side at a glance. Sonoda Mari was fixing her hair a little uneasily. When she saw that Red was about to communicate with the security guard at the door, she immediately nervously grabbed Red's hand.

"Are you serious? This is Hongshang Fund!"

"If possible, I don't want to come either." Red patted Sonoda Mari's shoulder and walked forward to wave at the two tall security guards, "I want to see President Hong Shang."

The two tall security guards looked at each other, and the one on the left raised his hand to signal Reid to wait, while the other one turned around hastily, took out his walkie-talkie and reported the situation in a low voice.

Reid breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the reactions of the two security guards, Mitsuo Hongo probably didn't expect him to come up to him at this time.

The security guard who reported the incident quickly turned back and made way for them. “Please come in.”

The usually graceful and elegant Sonoda Mari became unusually cautious. She stayed close to Red, lowered her head and did not dare to look around. Although Metzl still held Red's arm as before, she frowned and kept glancing around.

Since it was not his first time here, Red easily found the elevator he had taken before, went to the top floor, walked through the corridor that was like history itself, pushed open the door, and was greeted by flying ribbons and Mitsuo Hongo's brilliant smile.

"Oh - that's great, Rhett, thank you for helping me so much."

Red, who didn't expect Hong Shangguang to do this, was stunned and said, "Help?"

"Metzler, you suddenly lost contact yesterday. I was worried that something had happened. Are you okay?"

This time it was Metzler's turn to be stunned.

"Huh? Huh!!!" Sonoda Mari blinked and reacted, "In other words, Miss Metzl... is an employee of the Hongshang Foundation?"

"Yes, yesterday I asked her to go to Qingmingyuan University to investigate something, but she lost contact. We immediately sent people to Qingmingyuan University to search, but we couldn't find any trace of her. I always thought something happened to her," Hong Shangguang sighed with his hands behind his back, "I didn't expect you to bring her here this morning."

Sonoda Mari's breathing paused.

They didn't find anyone because they took Metzl to a hotel outside Qingmingyuan University, but this is a bit too much...

After holding it in for a long time, Mari Sonoda finally complained.

"What a coincidence."

"This is simply a joke of fate," Mitsuo Hongo raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The holographic image fell, and a complete file of Metzl appeared in front of them.

From birth to employment, extremely detailed and authentic personal files.

Even Red, who suspected that Mitsuo Hongo was up to something again, had to admit it.

What a coincidence, it's such a coincidence, how can such a coincidence happen in this world.

But speaking of coincidence...

Reid glanced at the surroundings and said, "President Hongshang, excuse me, what's the coincidence?"

"Ah~ Don't worry, Qiao will be back soon, probably in ten to twenty minutes." Mitsuo Hongo glanced at the watch on his wrist, and raised his hand in the direction of Erika Satonaka, "Sonaka - take Miss Metzler to where she usually works, maybe she can remember something."

Erika Satonaka, who was eating ice cream, shrugged and waved to Metzler.

Mazel's eyes flickered and she hooked Red's finger, "You're not leaving, are you?"

"Well, I'll wait for you," Red raised his hand and patted Mazel's head.

Mari Sonoda crossed her arms over her chest, snorted unhappily, turned her face away and muttered softly, while Erika Satonaka showed a look of disgust.

With Reid's assurance, Mazel smiled slightly and followed Erika Satonaka out of the office.

"President Hongshang, what did you ask Qiao to do?"

Red narrowed his eyes slightly, and his serious tone scared Mari Sonoda so much that she quickly reached out and pulled Red's arm.

"Just go and help me collect some things," Mitsuo Hongo smiled, turned around and pushed out a sea-blue cake decorated with a killer whale. A blue O coin was placed in the killer whale's mouth.

"Red~Do you know what this is?" Mitsuo Hongo smiled mysteriously.

Red remembered what Minghai had mentioned about the precautions regarding O coins in the employee handbook.

"Coins are silver, there are no other colors. If you find O coins of other colors among O coins, immediately contact B-level employees and above, President Hongshang... You wouldn't let Qiao collect those coins, would you?" Reid tightened his fingers little by little, "Qiao is just a temporary worker."

Seeing that Red was furious, Mitsuo Hongo didn't have a riddler, "In the distant past, the great and greedy king ordered alchemists to extract power from living things and refine four sets of core coins. This is one of them, and the O coin is just a byproduct of the core coin."

Reid frowned, "Is that all?"

"Of course it's not just that. Each set of core coins has ten core coins, and the alchemist took one of them, and then - Happy Birthday!"

"In order to find the missing part, Greeed, who is never satisfied, was born!"

Mitsuo Hongo opened his hands and declared passionately, like a bard singing the praises of the birth of the legendary king.

In the spacious and sunny corridor, Erika Sataka was in front and Metzl was behind. They were like a beautiful landscape, but no one appreciated them. Metzl stared at Erika Sataka who was walking in front and raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ears.
