Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

After signing the contract, Luo Zhen stopped following Sakamoto.

He needs to handle the rest himself; Luo Zhen also has other things to do.

"Both tasks together?"

Looking at the message on his phone, Luo Zhen looked up and exchanged a glance with Joseph, who was sitting opposite him.

Today, or more precisely last night, two alarms were triggered that appeared to be abnormal.

The time was roughly around 1 a.m.

The first person to call the police was a high school girl.

After starting high school, she decided to live independently, so she moved out after discussing it with her family and found a house near the school.

The purpose is to prove that they are now mature adults.

That's what they say, but according to the information, that building seems to belong to the girl's father.

Ahem, let's get back to the topic.

For the past few nights, the girl has been hearing strange noises coming from the air conditioner while she's sleeping.

At first, the girl didn't pay much attention, thinking it was just a normal sound caused by frequently turning on the air conditioner as summer approached, and that many air conditioners might make this kind of noise.

At most, it might just be a leak somewhere inside the air conditioner; it's nothing serious.

The girl originally planned to have someone fix it during the day, but considering the content shown in the study materials, she decided against it.

It feels kind of scary.

Anyway, she'll go back to her parents' place during the holidays.

However, the sound from the air conditioner last night was very frequent, even giving the girl the feeling that 'the source of this sound is alive and intelligent'.

Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why there was no sound when the girl got up and turned on the light to check, but the sound started again after she lay down.

This caused the girl to feel increasingly annoyed, and at the same time, a sense of fear quietly arose in her heart.

According to the girl, there was only one sound at first, and then there was no sound for a long time.

But soon the sound became more frequent, and it even felt like it was keeping a beat.

Are you sure it's not a sound like water leaking from inside the air conditioner?

The officer in charge of taking the statement asked.

When he was little, he often thought the sound of the electric fan was a ghost crying.

Although he never figured out where the noise came from, he naturally assumed it was from the electric fan when he grew up.

"Absolutely not!"

The girl said excitedly.

After calming down for a while, she listed three pieces of evidence.

First of all, this sound is definitely not the dripping sound of leaking water, but more like the sound of a hand slapping the ground or a wall.

Or it could be the sound of the air conditioner's external pipes being twisted.

In short, it's definitely not the sound of a leak.

Secondly, as mentioned before, the sound always occurred after the girl had fallen asleep.

Or rather, the strange sound occurs when there is no sunlight or other noise in the room.

Repeatedly wake the girl who was about to fall asleep.

Third, after struggling until the early hours of the morning, the girl finally found the source of the sound.

This time, the girl was more cunning before going to bed. She somehow managed to find the flashlight that her parents had forced into her suitcase before she moved out.

Although the girl never used it herself, it was given to her by her parents after all, so she just threw it in the bedside drawer.

After taking out the flashlight, I held it in my hand and waited.

When the sound rang out again, she didn't hesitate to raise her flashlight and shine it in the direction of the sound.

Then she saw two things, no bigger than the palm of her hand, that were definitely not normal creatures.

"Wryyyyyyyy!!!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

Upon being illuminated by the flashlight beam, the two small, unidentified creatures immediately let out terrified screams.

The girl also screamed at the same time.

Perhaps due to the reflection, the pupils of the two small creatures looked terrifying, like those of predators that hadn't eaten for days.

The terrified girl sat on the bed screaming, but didn't move at all.

She originally thought it would be something like rats at most.

Although I'm a little scared, it's not a big problem.

Who knew it would turn out to be something completely unexpected?

The two unidentified creatures and one person seemed to be having a contest to see who could shout the loudest.

For a moment, only screams filled the room.

Amid screams, the girl, who had finally regained her mobility, immediately fled through the door.

Terrified, she ran all the way to the nearby streets.

I happened to run into a police officer who was out buying a late-night snack after working overtime.

Fortunately, because it was close to the school, the police station also set up a police station nearby.

Otherwise, this police officer might not have been able to run into her that night.

"JOJO, what's the situation on your end?"

After putting down his phone, Luo Zhen looked at Joseph across from him and asked.

They were assigned different tasks, and although they theoretically wouldn't have any interaction, it was still better to ask in advance.

If there is any connection between the two incidents, we can quickly react and take appropriate action.

"Hey, here's a sleepless office worker playing rock-paper-scissors with his reflection in the mirror in the middle of the night."

Stroking his chin, Joseph said in a slightly complicated tone.

"and then."

"He lost, and then he slapped himself in the face by his reflection in the mirror."

"This...is truly a wonderful experience."

After hearing Joseph's words, Rozen probably understood Joseph's feelings.

What kind of bored person would play rock-paper-scissors in front of a mirror in the middle of the night?

And then you still lost?

If the memory isn't erased, this office worker will probably never dare to get too close to a mirror again.

"Ah, there's new information."

A pop-up window on the phone screen caught Luo Zhen's attention.

It was a sketch drawn based on the girl's description.

It was drawn by people from the government office, of course.

Half an hour ago, the dispatched personnel from the agency took over the case and erased the memories of the officers who were aware of it.

"It seems a bit like the K-pop style."

The small, unidentified creature in the picture is exactly the image of a monster in the traditional sense.

Words like "blue-faced and fanged" and "baring its teeth and brandishing its claws" seem to be able to describe this small, unidentified creature.

Considering that the girl was in a state of extreme fear at the time, there is a possibility of subjective demonization.

"Let's talk about it then."

Putting his phone back in his pocket, Luo Zhen began preparing the items needed for the mission.

Joseph stood up after reading the information in his hand.

Based on the information, Joseph's target is likely a monster or something similar.

What might be a challenge for an ordinary person is a piece of cake for Joseph, who possesses Hermit Purple.

Even without using the Hermit's Purple Nen in a direct confrontation, one can locate these monsters.

Chapter 159 The Lich Alliance?

Standing at the door of the girl who called the police, Luo Zhen simply stepped over the yellow cordon.

Although from the police's perspective, this shouldn't warrant sealing off the scene, the problem is that the authorities have now taken over.

If the authorities deem it necessary, then it is necessary.

"Have you checked all the surveillance footage?"

"The inspection is complete."

The member holding a tablet said to Luo Zhen.

Before they arrived, they had already reviewed the surveillance footage of the building and, after repeatedly confirming that the monster the girl mentioned had not left the scene, they took control of the surveillance.

No surveillance footage from here will be leaked until the mission is completed.

Nodding, Luo Zhen took out the OOO belt and put it on.

He didn't suspect that the girl had a nightmare; the people in the organization must have done a check before confirming the mission.

The task was only assigned after confirming that the monster the girl mentioned actually existed.

After hesitating for two seconds, Luo Zhen ran his hand across the coin storage box.

Three coins, each with a different color and pattern, appeared in his hand.

After inserting the coin into the slot, gently swipe the scanning ring.

"Ghost-Wizard-Hibiki"

A flash of three-colored light appeared, and a mysterious warrior cloaked in a cape appeared in the spot.

This combo is led by the wizard, who possesses numerous magical abilities, while the other two coins play a supporting role.

Although there is no sequential order in which the OOO belt activates the power within the Core Medal.

However, Luo Zhen himself is aware of this, so there will be some biases when using it.

"A ghost mage who plays with ghosts? Or perhaps a lich?"

As Luo Zhen removed the hood from his head, his thoughts drifted slightly for a second or two.

After all, most liches in film and television works appear in a similar form.

Undead = Non-human = Demon = Hibiki

Can use magic = wizard

The research largely focuses on the soul, and it can also manipulate the dead = ghost.

Hmm, now that I think about it, it really does look quite similar.

Speaking of Hibiki, as a physical knight, he has always had a good rapport with mystical side knights like Wizard.

Most non-technical knights and hibiki can form combos.

Pushing open the door, the first thing you see is a somewhat messy entryway.

Considering that the girl ran out of the door in a state of extreme panic last night, it's understandable.

Ignoring the collapsed shoe rack on the ground, Luo Zhen stepped onto the stairs.

Then.....

Nothing happened; all was calm.
