Knight Asylum

Chapter 178 Although They Are My Beloved Friends

With the help of Zab, Red wiped out five criminal gangs that used the mirror world to commit crimes and seized fifteen black boxes. It can be said that he was making great progress all the way, and even gave Red the feeling that he could solve the crimes in the [S·L] endoscopic world in one day.

But after defeating the seventh criminal group, Red felt something was wrong.

One of the biggest reasons why they were able to do so smoothly was that when the criminal gangs saw them, or to be more precise, Zab jumping out like a soldier, his first reaction was not to feel betrayed and want to run away, but to rush up.

The biggest difficulty in combating criminal gangs in the mirror world is that they have no way to pursue them through the mirror world. If the other party escapes into the mirror world, they can only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

Thinking of Zab's scumbag performance, Red came up with an idea and raised his hand to grab Zab's shoulder as he was walking towards the next criminal gang's base while talking.

"Hey - Zabu, you are not going to use me to kill those people who are chasing you, are you?"

Zabu, who was talking animatedly, slammed his right foot on the ground. He froze in place like a stone statue, with cold sweat on his forehead.

"This, this..."

Isn't that a matter of course?

Opportunities like this are so rare. As long as we get rid of the person who borrowed the money, isn't it the same as not borrowing the money?

"Hey - you guy, how dare you use us!" Qiao, who already hated Zabu physically and mentally, was furious.

"I think this should be called a win-win situation—" Zabu smiled awkwardly and turned around, raising two fingers and bending them, "Besides, you see, thanks to their eagerness to kill me, you have the opportunity to capture them alive. I am risking my life to help you!"

"..."

Red didn't say anything but just stared into Zab's eyes. This silent gaze made Zab, who had thought of a lot of reasons, feel a little overwhelmed.

"Fine--"

Red smiled brightly and released his right hand.

"Oh oh - you are still sensible! Please follow me! There is a big~big fish over here!"

Zhabu turned around immediately, straightened his back as if he was marching, and stepped forward with his legs snapping.

Qiao frowned uncomfortably and quickly walked behind Red. He grabbed the hem of Red's clothes and whispered in Red's ear, "Are you going to trust this scumbag?"

"I believe in his scumbag side," Red grinned.

"What if he joins forces with others to set a trap and ambush us?" Qiao muttered.

"Hmm? Isn't this just right? We were going to look for them anyway, isn't it a good thing that they all come up here?"

"Ok?"

In an instant, I felt that my CPU was burned out.

Something seemed wrong, yet it seemed to make perfect sense.

Qiao frowned and thought for a long time before giving up and lowering his head to rest on Red's shoulder. He looked a little lazy. "Well - I don't care anyway."

Under Zab's leadership, Red and Qiao entered an old construction site.

"This project was abandoned because the boss donated money and his sister-in-law ran away. Theoretically, as long as there is enough money, the project can continue. However, there are many unqualified parts in the design of this building when it was first built. The money spent on revising it from beginning to end is not as good as just blowing it up and rebuilding it. So no one is willing to take over this mess. However, many shady guys like to occupy buildings like this for free."

As a tour guide, Zabu provided scientific knowledge in a very professional manner.

"This is a very big fish. Even if there is no crime in the mirror world, there are still a lot of crimes that are enough to make him be shot for more than 20 minutes."

"So, how did you provoke them?" Red shook his arms up and down.

"cough--"

Zabu coughed heavily and whistled, his eyes shifting slightly, his voice unclear.

"That's it. Because their boss always brags about how beautiful his woman is and how much she loves him, so I tried a little bit... and it was easily pried out."

“Scum…”

Qiao cursed softly and pulled Red towards the building. Zab, who had no idea how many times he had been scolded, followed them shamelessly.

There was only one elevator in the building, and it only led to the top floor. It was clearly the base of a large criminal gang, but Red could not hear any movement.

An obvious trap.

But Zab was right behind them, whistling with an innocent look.

But there is a good saying.

You and I both know that this is a trap, so this is not a trap, but a contest.

Of course, the most important thing is that if the other party sets a trap, it means that the other party knows he will come and is very confident that he can catch him. If he does not fall into the trap for a long time, the other party may use the mirror world to transfer. This transfer will take more time to find him next time.

Red pressed the top floor button and put his hands behind his back, staring at the door in front of him. The elevator started to operate, and as the number of floors on the display screen continued to rise, the atmosphere of danger gradually became stronger.

"Ding--"

The moment the elevator door opened, countless black gun muzzles came into Red's sight.

"Da da da--"

The blinding flames instantly illuminated the entire floor, and countless bullets poured towards the elevator.

If nothing unexpected happened, the people in the elevator would be crushed along with the elevator, naturally including Zab.

But this is not a trap, it's a contest.

The moment the dust rose, it was torn apart by the rain of bullets, but neither the flying dust nor the bullets fired by the guns that had been illegally modified to reduce stability and increase destructive power could catch the red eyes that lit up.

Red, who transformed into Kuga the moment the elevator door opened, was bathed in a hail of bullets and did not launch an attack at the first sight, but instead quickly observed the hideout of the criminal gang.

Those who dare to occupy the abandoned building are all large-scale criminal gangs, with an estimated number of more than 40 people, and more than half of them are weirdos of different types.

It is absolutely impossible for a criminal gang of this scale to be involved in simple robbery and resale.

Red concentrated his mind. The shouting and gunshots gradually faded from his ears. The world became extremely quiet. He heard faint sobs, numb demands, and painful moans in the darkness.

The other party seemed very confident and did not run away because there were only two of them.

After realizing that ordinary shooting had no effect on Red, one of the bear-shaped monsters bent down, picked up the illegally modified rocket launcher and aimed it at Red. The moment he pulled the trigger, huge sparks exploded and the rocket grenade sprayed out. With a clang, the fired rocket grenade stopped in front of them.

Red, who transformed into Kuga, appeared in front of them silently and grabbed the rocket-propelled grenade with his bare hands.

Under the horrified gazes of the weirdos, Red directly crushed the rocket-propelled grenade. The violent explosion was released with Red as the center, and the smoke and dust raised by the strong impact covered the entire floor.

Chapter 179: Like a Devil

Amid the mixture of smoke and dust, the entire floor seemed to have entered a different space without boundaries. The thugs holding guns held their guns and swallowed nervously. The indescribable tranquility oppressed their nerves, but what frightened them the most was the terrifying figure who grabbed a rocket-propelled grenade with bare hands, crushed it directly, and stared at them in the flames.

It's simply a demon from hell.

The fear made them unable to control themselves and they wanted to raise their guns and shoot at the surroundings, but they did not dare to do so.

Afraid of hurting your companions?

They never cared about their companions. If they could get a bigger share, they didn't mind reducing the number of their companions by one. They were just afraid that their shooting would attract the devil.

"Snapped--"

A slight sound came from behind the man. His heart skipped a beat and he immediately turned around and raised his gun, but there was no one behind him. The noise seemed to be caused by falling debris.

The man's tense nerves relaxed in an instant, and his arms dropped weakly. At the moment his arms dropped, I emerged from the thick smoke in an inhuman posture, and my red eyes reflected the man's face distorted by fear.

"Don't come over -"

The shrill screams completely broke the silence. All the thugs at this moment screamed and raised their guns to fire indiscriminately like primary school students who were scared to death by a horror movie. In the flickering firelight, the devil-like figures kept shaking, and with every shake, a beam of fire would dissipate.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and as far as the eye could see, no one was still standing except Red. The others were either lying on the ground wailing or had already lost their breath.

Zabu stuck his head out, and even though he was knowledgeable, he was still frightened by the scene that looked like he was attacked by a ghost.

Qiao was not surprised and raised his hand to wave away the choking smoke and dust around him.

"I'm telling you, aren't you exaggerating a bit?"

"There are other victims here."

Reid raised his hand and patted his shoulder, which was still smoking, and walked quickly to the corner of the floor. Qiao was stunned for a moment and followed him quickly. When he got closer, Qiao immediately frowned and clenched his fists tightly.

At the foot of the floor, there were seven or eight rusty cages placed crookedly, with a few ragged women huddled in the cages. Some of them were holding their heads and shivering, while others were leaning against the cages like broken dolls, with empty eyes staring at nothing.

Veins bulged on Red's forehead. He had been prepared for this possibility. In order to prevent the thugs from taking these poor people as hostages, he deliberately exploded the rocket-propelled grenade at close range to block their sight.

"Wow - it's worse than I thought - there's no hope for these guys -"

Zabu also came over and took a look at the women's condition, and sighed as if he was used to it. However, this casual attitude angered Qiao, who was already furious.

"Since you knew this long ago, why didn't you call the police?"

"Ah? Come on, this is the norm for [S·L], okay?" Zabu, who knew why Qiao was angry but had no idea why, scratched his ear with a nonchalant expression, "The most dazzling place in the world is also the most rampant crime city."

"There are crimes committed every day, and there are terrible plots being hatched every day."

"This is something everyone knows, but even so, every day there are people scrambling to get in. Why? Don't they all want to soar to the sky? And the methods to soar to the sky are written in the law."

Zabu bent his little finger and flicked it to the side.

"If you are unhappy, you can kill all these people, but I can tell you very frankly that many people will be happier, not because there will be fewer evil forces, but because the seats that were occupied by evil forces will be vacated."

"you--"

Reid reached out and pressed Qiao's shoulder. In his left hand, he was holding a cell phone that showed the call was over. "I have contacted the control tower. Maybe... Selvi Turia's medical technology can cure the life form."

"Hey... do you know how many people still need to be rescued?" Zabu complained indifferently with his hands behind his head.

"Now, eight people have been saved."

Red bent down, tore open the rusty cage, and stretched out his right hand toward the woman with empty eyes in the cage.

The rescue team of Serviera Tullia arrived very quickly. Because the magicians including Light were wiped out and the assessment ended in silence, U's control over Serviera Tullia increased a lot, so the troops brought a lot of medical equipment.

After a preliminary examination of the women's conditions, the doctor frowned and said nothing.

There is a saying that goes, I'm not afraid of doctors joking, I'm just afraid of doctors frowning and not speaking. Red's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

"how is the situation?"

The doctor glanced at Reid, hesitated for a long time, then scratched the back of his head, "This situation is not common... They were all injected with some banned drugs, two of them... From a medical point of view, they are no different from dead."

"They will then be transferred to a nursing home established by Servi Turia for long-term treatment."

Red pursed his lips and let out a pitiful breath, "Please."

Zabu, who was standing aside, whistled without hesitation, "Wow~ As expected of a human rescue organization, they are really rich."

When Zab said this, everyone present, including Red, became annoyed.

"Ah - and this guy, take him away as well," Red raised his eyes and pointed at Zab.

"Eh? Wait! Aren't we companions?!"

Zab blinked his eyes, and when several members of the containment team holding special handcuffs walked up to him, Zab reacted and jumped forward. He did not want to escape, but to kneel down and beg for mercy. Unfortunately, he was carried back halfway through his flight, handcuffed, and taken down the building along with other members of the criminal gang.

Because there were more people in the criminal gang than expected, there was inevitably some noise. People who were interested cast their eyes curiously. They naturally knew that there were a bunch of thugs hiding in the building. They were not surprised at all and were even happy that these people were arrested. Isn't it a very normal thing for a criminal gang to be arrested?

And after these people left, the abandoned building became vacant.

Just when all the curious people were about to leave without taking it seriously, a wailing sound like a pig being slaughtered drew their attention back. In the detention team, Zabu, who was sandwiched between the left and right, was kicking his legs like a monkey.

"I'm innocent! I really am innocent! I was just passing by!"

For a moment, the expressions of many curious people changed. They knew what business Zabu was doing recently, and now Zabu was caught.

Chapter 180 Purpose

"Please, believe me, I really didn't participate in those crimes, I was just threatened-"

In the interrogation room, Zab, with a polygraph on his head, was biting a toothpick, with his feet propped up on the interrogation table and his hands behind his head. He answered the interrogation expert's questions in a rather arrogant and perfunctory manner, while the various data displayed on the instrument proved that Zab was not lying.

The interrogation expert sitting opposite Zabu felt a little numb. He swore that he had never seen anyone like Zabu in his career.

Zhabu is not the kind of person who is particularly stubborn. In fact, it is quite the opposite. When asked casually, Zhabu simply betrayed all his loved ones, relatives, brothers and sisters, and the people involved in the case are exactly in line with their previous guesses.

But when it came to what they really wanted to know, Zhabu started to say he didn't know, and his attitude became more and more perfunctory and arrogant.

If it weren't for the human rights protection regulations, he really wanted to use drugs.

"By the way, when can we go home? The bed here is quite comfortable, but it turns out that a home is worse than your own."

"If you are proven innocent, we will let you go back."

The interrogation expert, whose scalp tingled, stood up and left the interrogation room in embarrassment. Outside the interrogation room, Enbei and others were waiting for the result. Seeing that this interrogation expert had the same expression of having eaten shit as the previous ones, they knew the result and did not ask any more questions in order to prevent the interrogation expert from recalling that sad memory.

Embe rubbed his forehead and returned to the command tower to explain the situation to U.

"How to do?"
