Knight Asylum

"You are the one that the undead beast must defeat."

"Originally, I thought so."

Cheng Guang crossed his arms over his chest, looked Reid up and down, and then glanced at the Shenghong Lock in Reid's hand.

"It seems that no real golden fruit will come. Eliminate the holders of other false golden fruits and take away their false golden fruits. The one who survives will be the only real golden fruit."

"As the holder of the true golden fruit, you are unable to obtain the full power of the golden fruit."

Chengguang put his hand down and let out a breath.

"My enemy is the one who holds the full power of the Golden Fruit. You are not my enemy."

Red clenched the golden fruit in his hand. "If you get the real power of the golden fruit, what will you do? Will you fight with humans..."

"Impossible. I bear the fate of my people and my civilization," Cheng Guang interrupted Red indifferently.

"You have only one choice, and that is—"

"I will fight you," Reid released his grip and calmly looked at Chengguang.

Cheng Guang was stunned and curled the corners of his mouth.

"Then go and defeat the other undead beasts. When you have enough, I will defeat you. Next time—"

Chengguang raised his hand and slapped Red's shoulder hard, his fingers tightening.

"I'll risk everything I have and kill you."

Chapter 191: No choice but to fight

Red didn't answer Chengguang, and no one else tried to stop Chengguang from leaving.

"Humanity... the fate of all ethnic groups is actually decided by a fruit. It's really a ridiculous rule," Kiryuu Battle Rabbit raised his hand to twirl his hair and looked at Reid.

"Reid, what are you going to do?"

Red let out a long breath, "What else can we do? We have no choice but to fight."

Kurim frowned and thought for a while before slowly saying, "Although it is fake, it is still the power of the complete golden fruit. Red, I don't need to tell you what the golden fruit represents."

"The origin of a civilization, completely divine power."

Reid turned around and pulled out the Infinity Blade that was blocked by chains from his backpack.

"If I can help it, I don't want to use this power, but if I really have no choice, I will fight to the end."

Kiryuu Sento crossed his arms over his chest, and after a brief pause, he shook his head, stepped forward and patted Red's arm, "It's not that bad yet. You are not alone. We are here."

"Yes, the most important thing now is to find other undead beasts as soon as possible," Kurim also said, "From what Johmitsu said, it seems that the fake golden fruit can be taken away. If the undead beasts continue to fight each other, soon there will be an undead beast that possesses the power of multiple golden fruits."

Red slapped his face hard and nodded, "Indeed! It's not a good idea to keep struggling! Judging from Chengguang's reaction, the undead beasts seem to have accepted that I am also a competitor. I will just hang out outside more during this period of time. Maybe some undead beasts will attack me."

"We will also search with all our strength, Red, don't push yourself too hard," Kiryuu Sento pursed his lips and gave Red a thumbs up, "You are not the only protagonist."

Red blinked and shrugged. "Of course—"

After saying that, Reid waved and left the lab.

Looking at the elevator gradually going up, Kiryu Battle Rabbit took a step back, fell into a chair, held his forehead and let out a long breath.

"It's terrible—"

I blinked, bent down, and looked up into Kiryuu Sento's eyes.

"Is it that bad? That Johko is very strong, but probably not as strong as the previous Mello."

"I'm not talking about the problem of strength, but a deeper problem," Kiryu Sento rolled his eyes, raised his finger, and flicked it hard at Manjo Ryuga's forehead.

I, Wanzhanglong, cried out in pain and fell backwards to the ground.

"A single-celled organism like you wouldn't understand."

"What is it? -- tell me what it is!"

Manjo Ryuuga covered his forehead, stood up, and chased after Kiryu Sento noisily, wanting an explanation, but Kiryu Sento did not intend to answer, but just kept shouting "idiot".

Instead of going back to the top floor office, Red returned to the street carrying the backpack containing the Infinity Blade.

Red did not forget the bet with Tendou Souji. When he found the watch he liked, it was already evening.

Because Tendou Shuhua had been helping Kusakabe Xu during this period, Red went directly to the restaurant, and Tendou Souji happened to be there too.

Even though he was sitting in a corner, Tendo Souji's presence was as strong as the sun. It was a pity that no one poured him tea, so he looked a little downcast.

"Yo--" Red raised his hand and waved to Tendou Souji.

Seeing Red looking so relaxed, Tendou Souji frowned instead.

"Is it difficult?"

"After all, this is [S·L]," Reid pulled out a chair and sat opposite Tendo Souji, with no intention of hiding anything.

The corner of Tendou Souji's eye twitched fiercely, "Is the world going to be destroyed again?"

Tendo Souji felt that sooner or later he would have a Ptsd reaction because of Red's words, "After all, this is [S·L]."

"To be precise, humanity will be destroyed," Reid took out the Shenghong Lock and placed it on the table.

Tiandao Souji glanced at the lock seed, "Golden Fruit?"

"That's it~"

"Ah—Brother, you're here!"

At this time, Tiandao Shuhua walked out of the kitchen with a plate and gave Reid a smile as bright as the sun.

"Oh - I brought you a gift," Red smiled and took out a wrapped watch from his arms, "It's not something expensive, just a watch."

Tendo Souji picked up the tea he had poured and took a sip. After a brief pause, Tendo Souji widened his eyes in surprise.

This is a bit too despicable!

"Ah - thank you! I will cherish it!" Tiandao Shuhua first placed the food in front of the customer, then ran back with a happy smile and solemnly took the watch handed to her by Reid.

Red smiled and turned to meet Tendou Souji's eyes.

Under Tendo Souji's gradually depressed gaze, Red smiled brightly.

"Gu--Shuhua, I also have a gift for you, also... a watch," Tendo Souji took out a gift box from his arms.

After a heartbreaking silence, Tiandao Tree Flower nodded subtly, "Well, brother, thank you, I will cherish it too--"

"Ah, you're welcome."

Tendo Souji staggered to his feet and grabbed Red's neck.

"Come out!"

The usually calm Tendou Souji broke his voice for the first time.

Kusakabe Xu heard the noisy noise and poked his head out from the kitchen. He saw Reid and Tendou Souji walking out noisily, and his expression suddenly became subtle.

"Shuhua, what happened to them?"

Tiandao Tree Flower blinked, hugged the two gift boxes tightly in her arms, and smiled brightly, "Who knows why?"

Outside the restaurant, the moment Tendo Souji let go of his arms, Red jumped back a step and assumed a transformation posture, which made Tendo Souji speechless.

He really wanted to give Red a knight kick, but he would still consider the occasion and timing. Otherwise, when Red was bragging about his lines and his identity, he would have kicked him long ago.

"Do you have any specific plans?" Tiandao Zongsi raised his hand and patted his forehead.

"Don't tell me, just fight first."

Reid maintained the transformation posture for a while and then lowered his head helplessly.

"Unfortunately, this time there is no choice but to fight."

Red explained to Tendo Souji about the undead beast and the fake golden fruit.

After hearing this, Tiandao Souji also fell silent.

There really is no choice but to fight.

For the sake of their own tribe and civilization, the undead beasts will never give up the opportunity to turn their fake golden fruit into real one.

"Red, can we also absorb the fake golden fruit?"

Chapter 192: Because We Are Kamen Rider

Reid was stunned by Tendou Souji's assumption. After thinking for a while, Reid raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I don't know, but... maybe we can give it a try."

"As long as the false Golden Fruit still exists in multiple forms, the real Golden Fruit will never appear, and the forced evolution of Helheim Forest will never truly advance."

Red's eyes lit up and he snapped his fingers at Tendou Souji.

"God, this is a good idea."

Tendo Souji stared into Red's eyes for a while, and nodded after making sure that Red was serious and not just agreeing verbally but actually taking all the responsibility on his own.

"It may not be as easy as we expected, but there must be a way. I'll go discuss it with everyone later."

"..."

Seeing that Red said nothing, Tendou Souji frowned.

"what happened?"

"Yeah - when I think about the possibility that Battle Rabbit and the others could really create a device that can absorb the fake golden fruit, I feel a little, sick." Red pinched his fingers, "Just a little."

After thinking for a while, Tiandao Zongsi's mouth twitched slightly.

"Be patient."

"it is good--"

Red drew out his voice.

After returning to the restaurant and enjoying a meal prepared by Kusakabe Xu himself, Red returned to the Intelligent Computer Group and first explained to Kiryu Battle Rabbit the plan of absorbing the fake golden fruit together.

This plan was agreed by everyone, and Kiryu Battle Rabbit immediately said that he had a direction and started to tinker with the modifications on the collection bottle.

Of course, Red did not forget to explain his plan to U.

After a subtle silence, U slowly spoke.

"That is the chance to become a perfect god. More than fifty false fruits will be used to forge the most powerful golden fruit in history. Do you plan to share everything with others?"

"U, whether to become a monster and be contained, or to fight as a knight, I have already answered this question," Red let out a long breath.

"To you, the Perfect God is also a monster?"

"I didn't say that," Reid rolled his eyes.

"I understand. If I have any information about other undead beasts, I will provide it to you immediately."

With that, U finished off Bronzebeard.

Looking at the gradually darkening screen in his hand, Reid shook his wrist left and right, and finally put the phone on the table, turned around and looked out the window at the world shrouded in night.

The lights came on, dispelling the darkness in the room.

"Well - I was trying hard to create a melancholy atmosphere just now," Red scratched his face and looked at Qiao who was standing at the switch.

"is it?"

Qiao raised his hand and hit the switch, and the whole room fell into darkness again.

"You go ahead."

Seeing Qiao standing there with no intention of leaving, Red's mouth twitched, and he turned his head away, trying to put on his previous melancholy look.

But because Qiao kept staring at him, Red gradually became really depressed instead of pretending to be depressed.

"Cough! Cough!!!"

"You don't look depressed," Qiao laughed, walked slowly along the wall to Red, raised his hand and slapped Red in the face.

"By the way, have you grown taller recently?"

Red was stunned, and then he realized that he had lowered his head a little in order to look at Qiao.

He is past the age of growing taller.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be an increase of this magnitude.
