Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

The occasional attacks that landed on Luo Zhen's body only produced a spark, without even leaving a scratch.

"Tsk, that's really troublesome."

Looking at the struggling 6264, Luo Zhen had an urge to smash it to pieces.

After all, the 6264 series of containment objects is not unique.

As far as Luo Zhen knows, there are two branches that contain AO-6264 with branch numbers 7 and 14.

However, Luo Zhen only thought about such things.

The research institute's approach to these anomalies is primarily one of containment.

Unless there are special circumstances, they will not be directly eliminated.

Katz is an exception.

The research institute did not expect Joseph's ripples to have such an effect on Kars.

The massive amount of ripples injected into Kars' body instantly reduced him to ashes.

Now that Kars is gone, bringing Joseph into the research institute seems like a good idea.

That's what they thought at the time.

Just as Luo Zhen was troubled, a series of neat footsteps reached his ears.

"Investigator Luo Zhen."

A team of research institute combatants in combat uniforms quickly poured into the open space.

The team leader jogged up to Luo Zhen and reported:

"AO-6264, containment ready. Proceed with containment?"

"Begin preparations for containment."

Nodding, Luo Zhen signaled to the research institute members to begin containment.

After receiving permission, the squad leader immediately directed the squad members to begin work.

The two members began to erase the memories of the factory workers. The workers who were sent to the hospital earlier were being taken care of, so there was no need to worry.

"Did you bring the memory clearing spray you prepared before? Use this one this time, don't use the old method."

"If you encounter someone who is uncooperative, use Class A memory erasure (physical)."

"receive."

One order after another was issued in an orderly manner.

At the same time, a huge box was moved to Luo Zhen's side.

"Investigator Luo Zhen, please put 6264 in."

According to the research institute, 6264 remains inert when buried in soil at a depth of more than 0.5 meters.

In other words, all you need to do to contain this thing is dig a hole and bury it.

Luo Zhen had already read about the containment conditions and disposal methods for 6264 on the way here, so he was very clear about what the other party meant.

Nodding, Luo Zhen used his arms to lift 6264 and quickly stuffed it into the box.

The research institute members on the other side also quickly added soil to it.

Soon, 6264 lost its vitality and stopped thinking.

"It's done."

With a clap of his hands, Luo Zhen deactivated his transformation.

Compared to those dangerous things, containing 3428 is really not difficult.

Apart from a few injured workers, the incident had almost no impact.

"Next, we'll be sending 6264 back to base. Investigator Luo Zhen, are you coming along too?"

After the box was closed, the squad leader turned to Luo Zhen and asked.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you."

Nodding, Luo Zhen readily accepted the squad leader's invitation.

We are all members of the research institute, there's no need to be arrogant.

With a slight smile, the squad leader continued working with his team members to finish up the mess.

Luo Zhen simply watched from the sidelines.

Like I said, they're professionals.

After the cleanup was finished, the team members stood next to the box that contained 6264 and gently pressed a few buttons on their combat suits.

The close-fitting combat suit began to writhe rapidly as if it had come to life.

It was as if a special armor from a science fiction work had been transformed into an ordinary delivery uniform.

Each person also has their work ID and photo on their chest.

Despite it being a scene that only happens in science fiction movies, the people at the research institute seemed quite used to it.

"By the way, when will the new generation of combat suits be officially put into use?"

"Who knows? I heard it has already passed the test."

"That should be soon."

"Who knows? If the people in the equipment department are not satisfied with a certain data point, it will probably have to be reworked."

"I'm really looking forward to it."

It's easy to hear their anticipation for the new generation of combat suits.

The crazy scientists in the Equipment Department wouldn't allow their new generation of creations to have only undergone some minor optimizations in certain aspects.

Since we are a new generation, we must achieve a qualitative leap!

What kind of new generation is it if it's just a different color and a lighter weight?

As they carried the boxes out of the factory, the topic of conversation shifted from their combat uniforms to ordinary family matters.

From this morning's breakfast to yesterday's daily wages and drinks at the izakaya.

He looks no different from an ordinary deliveryman.

Occasionally, passersby would only glance at them briefly before losing interest in the deliverymen.

After loading the boxes onto the car, Luo Zhen got in with the other members of the research institute.

During the conversation, they discussed Joseph's situation.

"Really? So fast?"

Luo Zhen asked, somewhat surprised.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense; Joseph's abilities are undeniable.

Chapter Twenty: The Demon's Pact

"Then I'll go first."

After arriving at the research institute's branch base, Luo Zhen said goodbye to his team members.

Their next task was to contain the box containing AO-6264 according to the instructions.

Although 3428 is in Luo Zhen's hands, it is still a dangerous containment object.

"Oh, isn't this Brother Luo Zhen?"

A flippant voice rang out behind Luo Zhen.

Turning around, I saw Joseph, dressed in a uniform that was clearly modified, leaning against the wall with a grin.

Judging from the special task force uniform he was wearing, he had become a member of the organization.

The originally slightly loose uniform was modified by Joseph himself to accentuate his figure.

His imposing physique and muscular build, accentuated by his clothes, created a striking visual impact.

"Long time no see, Joseph."

While casually chatting with Joseph, Luo Zhen subtly observed and sized him up.

He had an indescribable feeling about Joseph in front of him.

He felt that this Joseph was not quite the young and impetuous Joseph he remembered; rather, he seemed more like an older Joseph.

It's roughly the difference between being stable with a touch of shrewdness and being shrewd with a touch of shrewdness.

This is clearly problematic.

However, Luo Zhen didn't think much of it.

Since the other party is already wearing the research institute's uniform, it means that he should have already signed the contract.

"Speaking of which, your methods are really hard to understand."

Joseph couldn't help but think of the contract that had been placed in front of him earlier.

It looks like just an ordinary contract.

Joseph had signed countless contracts like this.

Joseph could sign his name even with his eyes closed.

But as he signed his name on the contract, he suddenly had a strange feeling.

It was as if an invisible chain had quietly wrapped around his body, restricting his movements.

It seemed like I was hearing a sound.

'Contract established'

He could sense that something terrible would happen if he did something that violated the terms of the contract.

This feeling comes and goes quickly, disappearing like the tide after a few seconds, leaving no trace.

It's as if all the previous feelings were just an illusion.

But Joseph knew that it wasn't an illusion.

The contract became effective after he signed it.

And it effectively restricted his actions.

"Oh, you mean the demon's contract."

After thinking for two seconds, Luo Zhen retrieved the information from his memory regarding the 'contract'.

This is a special containment object of the research institute, or rather, a series of containment objects.

Once signed, it will have strong binding force and is not just a simple symbolic gesture.

Special members like Joseph must sign this contract before joining the organization.

"Hey, this sounds pretty bad."

With his chin resting on his hand, Joseph couldn't help but mutter a complaint.

A demon's contract or something like that sounds pretty ominous.

Oh no, has my soul already been taken?

Ahhhhh! No way!

Mr. Joseph hasn't even had a chance to properly enjoy this world yet!

Goodbye, Caesar, Lisa Lisa teacher.

Oh, and my future wife, Siji Q.

"That contract is just for show. As long as you don't do anything that violates the terms of the contract, nothing will happen."

Seeing Joseph's dejected face, Luo Zhen explained with a smile.

So far, no members who have joined the organization have been subject to contractual penalties.
