Knight Asylum

"How many people have you said that to?" Red took the business card and waved it.

"Of course I only told you this, this is all from my heart!"

Well, it was identified as false.

"I understand."

Red put away the business card, and the flower shop fell into a strange silence. Sano Man, who was secretly happy that he had rescued Xiao Xing, gradually froze his smile.

"Um...do you have anything else to say?"

Sano Mitsuru's question really stumped Red. Of course he had something to do with Xiaoxing. Judging from Xiaoxing's attitude when she barely recognized Sano Mitsuru, the relationship between Sano Mitsuru and Xiaoxing should be just a few encounters, and they were strangers who could barely call each other's names. So why should Sano Mitsuru ask him if he had anything else to do?

"It's like this. Actually, I was involved in some pretty serious cases, and Red came to inform me of this. Of course, this is probably a misunderstanding," Xiao Xing explained vaguely after thinking for a while.

After all, she couldn't tell Sano Mitsuru that she was a Gurongi and now someone was blaming her for the disappearance case.

But Xiaoxing's well-intentioned ambiguity made Sano Mitsuru more and more certain that Red was here to cause trouble for Xiaoxing.

After a little thought, Sano Mitsuru made up his mind.

"Mr. Reid! I will definitely do my best to help you catch Professor Kagawa!"

Sano Mitsuru's idea was simple. As long as he helped Red find Hideyuki Kagawa, Red and Selve Turia behind him would not focus their energy on an inconspicuous place like Xiaoxing's flower shop.

"Please give me some time!"

After saying that, Sano Mitsuru turned around and rushed out.

Looking at Sano Mitsuru's energetic back, Red and Xiao Xing looked at each other. After a while, Red held his forehead and sighed.

Running away so easily doesn't look like he is going to be killed by his employer.

So as expected, Sano Mitsuru was caught in the door?

of course not.

Sano Mitsuru ran out of the flower shop and not far away, he made a big turn and walked into a high-end coffee shop. He walked all the way to the private room in the corner, where someone was already waiting for him.

"Is it done?" The man looked up.

"Of course!"

Sano Mitsuru was quite energetic. He raised his thumb and shook it left and right, then sat down opposite the man in a familiar manner, put his hands on the table and asked for credit. "I have already told that guy named Red from Selvi Turia that I will help him find Professor Kagawa. Of course, he doesn't completely believe me yet, but I will work hard later!"

"That's enough - and then it's the rest of the work."

The man leaned over and picked up a silver-shelled box, placed it on the table and opened it to Sano Mitsuru. Inside were more than forty black boxes neatly arranged.

The man pushed another contract to Sano Mitsuru.

“You’re going to do the same thing as before.”

Sano Mitsuru couldn't wait to pick up the contract and turned directly to the page about remuneration. The moment he saw the arrogant number on it, he signed his name on it without even intending to read the contents at the beginning of the contract. He then reached out and grasped the man's right hand and shook it up and down.

"Thank you for your appreciation! Mr. Asakura Akatsuki!"

Chapter 150: The Arrival

Although the appearance of Sano Mitsuru was unexpected, it did not bring much hope. There was even a feeling that he was here to stir up trouble. So after a little thought, Red decided to report Sano Mitsuru's matter to U first, and let U determine whether Sano Mitsuru's help was true or false, while he continued to solve Xiaoxing's problem.

Although Xiao Xing said that she didn't know most of the people in the file, but as Xiao Xing said, it was written in the file of the human rescue organization Selvi Turia, so the real situation could only be this.

However, this does not mean there is no chance of reversal. This is [S·L], and it is normal for monsters to cause deaths. Every day, bloody deaths may occur in any corner of [S·L], and major disasters that cause paralysis and destruction of entire regions are commonplace. At the beginning, Servius Turria would publish a death list, but after so many times, the citizens no longer cared, and later they just reported the number of deaths.

Now the public still does not know that the disappearance of these people is related to Xiao Xing. Perhaps it is because there are too many vague and ambiguous parts in the missing persons file itself, and the detailed contents of these missing persons files have not been disclosed to the families of the missing persons.

So Red decided to visit each of them one by one to see if there were any details that had been overlooked. After learning about Red's decision, Xiaoxing readily agreed to join them.

Looking at Xiao Xing's back as she was moving the flowers from the store door back into the store, Red felt a little emotional. No matter how he looked at it, he could not connect Xiao Xing with the bloodthirsty and violent Gurongi. She was just like an ordinary person among the countless people, but she had her own unique life.

At least there was one thing he was sure of, Xiao Xing loved life.

Feeling Red's gaze, Xiao Xing paused and turned her head, blinking, a little confused, "What's the problem?"

"No, let me help you—"

Red rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Xiao Xing.

At the same time, Metzler, who was drinking tea calmly in the dormitory of Selvi Tulia but was actually recalling Saori Takamizawa's feelings for Itsuki Takamizawa, felt a jolt in her heart and stood up suddenly. Her intuition told her that something bad had happened to her, and the only thing she could think of that was bad for her was Red. She wanted to rush to find Red immediately, but she had not forgotten her personality. If she took the initiative to run outside, Red would definitely think that she ran out because she felt uneasy, and he would be afraid of what to do if something unexpected happened.

This would certainly get more attention from Reid, but...

Bodred's sympathy is Bodred's sympathy, but if she pretends to be pitiful too much, Rhett's feelings for her will turn into guilt. For true love, guilt is a glaring flaw.

Endure it!

At ORE Newspaper, Daisuke Okubo was gazing dimly at the gate of ORE Newspaper with his arms folded across his chest, a roll of newspaper in his right hand. The reason was simple: his honest and simple junior Shinji Kido was late again. Normally he would have just said a few words, but today was different.

His ace reporter Momoi Reiko brought him a series of bad news. The intelligence dealers they usually relied on refused to provide information related to Kagawa Hideyuki, and the hospital responsible for observing and treating students who fell into a coma due to Kagawa Hideyuki's experiments also refused their visits. Obviously, some similar incredible cases are happening all over the country, but no one is willing to reveal any information. Simply put... they are stuck in a bottleneck.

"Editor-in-chief, do you really have to do this?" Shimada Nanako couldn't help but complain, "You've been staring at the door for almost twenty minutes."

"This means that Shinji is already more than 20 minutes late," Okubo Daisuke raised his voice to emphasize and waved his hand righteously, "I can't ignore his lateness just because he's my junior! I know you're angry too, so I won't indulge Shinji anymore!"

"No, no, no, Editor-in-Chief, you're the only one who's upset."

At this moment, the door of ORE newspaper was pushed open, and Shinji Shirodo appeared with his very distinctive and slightly silly face. Okubo Daisuke picked up the roll without thinking and hit Shinji Shirodo on the head.

"Shinji! You're late again!"

Shinji Shirodo was startled and raised his hand to block Okubo Daisuke's newspaper stick with his bare hands, but he was a beat too slow. Logically, this blow would have hit Shinji Shirodo's head, but before it fell, a hand reached out from behind Shinji Shirodo and grabbed the newspaper stick swung by Okubo Daisuke.

"Wow——what an interesting way to welcome you——"

Asakura Takeshi grabbed Okubo Daisuke's newspaper stick and pushed Shirodo Shinji away, and walked in boldly under Okubo Daisuke's incredulous gaze. After taking a quick look at the ORE newspaper office, he walked straight to Okubo Daisuke's seat and sat down, raised his feet and slammed them heavily on the table, with his hands behind his head.

"Well - this position is good, give it to me."

After saying this, Asakura Takeshi closed his eyes.

Okubo Daisuke opened his mouth and turned stiffly to look at Shirodo Shinji. Shirodo Shinji swallowed hard and explained Asakura Takeshi's situation in as much detail as possible while concealing the presence of Reid and others. Finally, he clasped his hands together and bent down.

"sorry!"

To be honest, even now Shinji Kido himself hasn't figured out the situation.

He met Asakura Takeshi's younger brother Asakura Akatsuki and learned from Asakura Akatsuki about Asakura Takeshi's cruelty and abnormality. He also witnessed with his own eyes the scene where Asakura Takeshi beat up several thugs. He shouted at Asakura Takeshi to stop for no other reason than that he could not ignore such a thing, let alone applaud like others.

At that time, he was already prepared to be attacked by Asakura Takeshi, and then Asakura Takeshi did walk towards him, but it seemed that he was too tired from fighting several people alone, and he fainted when he walked in front of him.

He couldn't just leave Asakura Osamu on the roadside. This was [S·L]. It would be a good thing if he fell asleep on the roadside and couldn't wake up the next day. He was afraid that when he woke up he would find that he was missing something, or that he had been transformed into some weird thing.

So he carried Asakura Takeshi back home.

And then……

It has become like this now. I don't know what Asakura Takeshi was thinking, but he followed him wherever he went. Now he has followed him to the ORE newspaper and has taken the position of editor-in-chief.

The corner of Okubo Daisuke's mouth twitched fiercely. He should have been tougher at this time, but Asakura Takeshi looked very difficult to deal with and very dangerous. He felt that he might explode at any time.

"Shinji... this is an opportunity!" Okubo Daisuke raised his hand and patted Shirodo Shinji's shoulder heavily, his eyes sincere, "My intuition tells me that the way he escaped from the Abnormal Human Research Center is related to the strange cases happening in various regions now!"

"Eh--"

Chapter 151 Are You Moved?

Because the missing persons seemed to have no connection and no common characteristics, and the time span was nearly twelve years, visiting the families of the missing persons was a rather troublesome matter. It took three full days to drive the mobile Pegasus around, but we only visited less than a quarter of the families of the missing persons. Half of the families had no memory of the incident and could not provide much useful information. It would take at least three days to visit them all.

But even so, they still obtained a lot of useful information.

First of all, none of them knew Xiao Xing. If this could be explained by the huge difference between Xiao Xing's human form and Gurongi monster form and the inability to connect the two together, then it was a bit strange that they had no impression of the name Mei Gallima Ba.

It is normal that other citizens of [S·L] are not familiar with the name Mei·Galima·Ba, because according to Xiaoxing and Baluba of the La Group, Xiaoxing has never participated in the killing game since the Gurongi Group was unblocked and appeared in [S·L]. Not participating in the killing game means that his popularity as a monster is very low, so low that only official organizations like Serviera will keep records.

If Xiao Xing was not a Gurongi but an ordinary weirdo, Servius Turia might not have recorded Xiao Xing.

But these people should be familiar with the name Mei Galima Ba because their family members disappeared because of this name.

This alone is enough to basically confirm that there is something wrong with the files on the missing persons. The remaining, and most difficult, part is how to find evidence to prove this when the time span is as long as twelve years and even the files recorded by Selvi Turiane are unclear.

After sending Xiaoxing back to the flower shop, exchanging contact information, and agreeing on the time for the investigation tomorrow, Red was about to leave when Xiaoxing grabbed his arm.

"Why do you have to go to such lengths?"

During these few hours, Xiao Xing discovered that Red was more hardworking and eager to find out the truth and prove her innocence than she, the person who was blamed. Before this, Xiao Xing believed that such a person existed in the world, but she had always been pessimistic and thought that such a person would never appear in front of her and work hard for her.

So when such a person really appeared, Xiao Xing was at a loss.

Red placed the helmet on the front of the Mobile Pegasus, put his hands on the helmet and smiled at Xiao Xing.

"I told you that one day you will have to pay the price for your past, but that definitely won't be someone's scapegoat. And being falsely accused is not easy no matter how you think about it, right? A person can't prove his innocence. I can't just turn a blind eye to this."

"I believe in you, don't give up."

After saying that, Red put on his helmet, started the engine, and drove the Mobile Pegasus into the traffic.

Xiao Xing stood there staring blankly at the direction where Red left. It took her a long time to react. She raised her right hand and pressed it on her chest. If she had developed some feelings for Red before because of the subconscious desire to give birth to a strong offspring cultivated in the barbaric and straightforward society in the past, now she had feelings for Red based on reason and the actual situation.

Because she was worried that she would be influenced by her wild and straightforward side and act impulsively, which would cause Red to dislike her, Xiao Xing tried hard to define this feeling as a good impression. However, before she could calm down, a rose was passed from behind her ear and landed on her chest.

"Are you moved?"

Xiao Xing's body suddenly stiffened. Even though she had not participated in the killing game for twelve years, she was still the strongest in the Mei Group, infinitely close to Ge's Gurongi. Few people or monsters could get behind her quietly. But after smelling the familiar rose scent, Xiao Xing relaxed her body and helplessly pinched the rose.

"Aren't you leaving, Baruba?"

"It's not because you haven't come back yet. I heard that there have been some minor problems in Servier Turia these past two days. If things go wrong, Red might be sealed away forever as a monster. But there are ways to change this situation. It's even... very simple."

Baluba walked out from behind Xiaoxing and lifted Xiaoxing's chin with her finger.

"For example, killing a Gurongi, even if it's the worst among the Gurongi, is still a Gurongi. For Red who defeated Gamego, killing you should be a very easy task."

"But he didn't do that. Why? I have an idea."

Baluba came close to Xiaoxing, and the alluring and relaxing rose scent blew on Xiaoxing's face.

“He who wears the belt that was created to destroy us and becomes Kuuga, could it be that he has fallen in love with you?”

Xiao Xing's pupils trembled, but soon calmed down. She raised her hand and slapped Baluba's hand away, "This is impossible."

"Really...what about you? Are you moved?" Baluba looked at her right hand that was slapped away and she was not angry.

"Is that all you want to say?!" This time Xiao Xing could no longer remain calm and became angry and embarrassed.

"It seems to be the case. There is a saying among humans, 'It's easy for a girl to pursue a boy, but the opportunity is rare.'" Baluba held her chin up and smiled as if she was appreciating Xiaoxing's embarrassment.

Xiao Xing took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She glanced at Baluba coldly and said unhappily, "Since you want to see Gurongi's offspring so much, why don't you give birth to one yourself? Don't tell me you don't have the ability."

"What I want, no, what the La Group wants, is offspring that can continue. If it cannot be changed, there is no need to continue."

Baluba turned sideways and opened the parasol, and the shadow covered Baluba's beautiful eyes.

"Do you remember the bat species?"

"Bat species? The guy who was deprived of his full strength in the competition because of violating the rules at the beginning?" Xiao Xing frowned. She remembered that the group of bat species was Zi, which should not appear in the mouth of La Group.

"I don't know who the bats are working with to attack other Gurongis. Some of the careless ones have been killed," Baluba said dimly. "Well, although those who were killed were some low-level guys, they have been playing the killing game for twelve years after all. Many of them have already reached the level of the former Kuznetsus."

"Bat species, what exactly do you want to do?" Xiao Xing realized the seriousness of the problem. If the bat species can already hunt down Gurongi, who once had the strength of Ge level, then it is not an exaggeration to deal with her, the strongest Mei.

"Who knows? I'll follow him when I have time. He probably won't target you. Besides, the real Ge have already decided to eliminate him. In a few days, this boring farce will be over."

Chapter 152: The best way to solve anxiety is to stop being anxious

In the simple and capable office, Ming Hai sat on a chair with his fingers crossed, staring at the two screens in front of him. The screens were playing various contents on the hidden camera website related to the disappearance of students from Amanokawa High School, as well as various files on Sudo Masashi, the policeman who made deals with the phantom.

At this moment, the mobile phone next to Minghai lit up. Minghai just glanced at it and stretched out his somewhat dry right hand to cover the phone. It was as if a switch was triggered. After a few seconds when the phone screen returned to darkness, the two screens in front of Minghai were filled with a huge 404.

Ming Hai narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned forward and tapped the keyboard a few times, but no matter how he refreshed the page, it was always 404. After exiting, both the voyeuristic website related to the disappearance of students from Amanokawa High School and the information about Sudo Masashi were completely deleted, as if they had never existed.

The only one who can and will do this in [S·L] is the human rescue organization Serviera Turia, but there is no way U will eliminate these things.

After a brief silence, Ming Hai took out a retro communicator from his arms, adjusted the channel slightly, leaned back on the backrest, and put the communicator to his mouth.

"As expected—"

----

As soon as he returned to Selvi Tuliared, he felt an inexplicable sense of urgency. Thinking about the information revealed by Embe before investigating Xiaoxing's affairs, Red had the answer in his mind.

While muttering to myself, "It's coming again and again," I walked towards a place with fewer people.

The workplace is like the world of martial arts, where ownership may change at any time. Most people have their own lives, and if they don’t go with the flow, they may be uprooted. Even human rescue organizations need to eat.

Just as Red shook his head helplessly, a person walked towards him as if he didn't see him at all. Red remembered that the other person seemed to be someone from the public relations department. Just as he was about to dodge the other person, he took a step very cleverly and bumped into his shoulder. Considering his physical fitness, the collision might knock the other person off his feet, so Red helplessly turned sideways and was knocked away.

Before Red could sigh at how quickly the wind direction in the workplace was changing, he froze in place, because the moment they passed each other, the other party slipped a note into his hand.
