Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

"Tell me first, what exactly are you?"

After putting his feet down, Luo Zhen silently wrote down on the tablet, "It's not about observing through a mirror; even when covered, you can still sense the surrounding situation."

"I am just a mirror. Although I know a lot of things, I am indeed a mirror."

“I receive a lot of information from time to time, which is beyond my control.”

"I can only passively receive; I have no choice in the type or content."

"A month ago, I was lying quietly in a labyrinth in another world, the Demon King's labyrinth."

"But suddenly I came to this world, and I didn't understand what happened."

“Kondo Yamato’s matter has nothing to do with me. I really didn’t do anything. I just gave him an initiation ceremony.”

Before Luo Zhen could press her for answers, Jingzi blurted out all her information like spilled beans.

Just now, it received a lot of information again.

Although the information was vague and general, it still allowed it to identify the two people in front of it.

Members of a research institute under the Human Resources and Social Security Agency.

A very long list of titles.

Although it is unknown what this human rights protection agency is, based on the information it has obtained, the organization's attitude towards its peculiar item is ambiguous.

They might use it, they might contain it, or they might just smash it on the spot.

This world is so beautiful; it doesn't want to shatter into pieces.

"very good."

Nodding, Luo Zhen was quite satisfied with this cooperative guy.

It looks like the research institute can have another containment object and research target.

The research institute primarily focuses on containing and studying these items with unusual powers.

However, if the force majeure event is too great, we will choose to destroy it directly.

Some time ago, the research institute destroyed a phonograph that could induce people to commit suicide.

At that time, this project still went through Luo Zhen's hands.

Chapter Thirty-One: The Shameful Branch

"Dong dong."

Joseph, dressed in a black uniform, tapped his finger lightly twice on the mirror.

The mirror made a crisp sound when it was struck, sounding just like an ordinary mirror.

"Is this the mirror?"

Joseph put his hand away and looked curiously at Rozen behind him, asking a question.

After a brief meeting, the mirror was assigned the number SO-049.

His nickname is Skull Mirror.

The talkative mirror protested, saying that the skull was just a dispensable decoration to it.

That's not nearly enough to be considered its defining characteristic.

But it was ignored.

The authorities never ask about the feelings of these types of contained objects.

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"No, it's just pure curiosity."

With a wave of his hand, Joseph turned his gaze back to the mirror.

To be honest, he was very curious about the mirror with the strange makeup on its surface.

"What is the scope of its answer?"

"This is our next task."

As they were talking, a D-class member, handcuffed, walked into the room.

It was easy to tell from his expression that he was quite unwilling to cooperate with the institute's experiments.

Although the mirror has not yet shown any harm to humans, the research institute still insists on using Class D personnel for experiments.

In someone's words: "Members of the research institute can die in battle, but they absolutely cannot die in this kind of suicide experiment."

The research institute will not lower its guard against these things until it is completely certain that the contained objects are harmless.

Luo Zhen's previous rash interaction with the mirror drew complaints from some researchers.

"What do you want me to do?"

After observing for a while, the stiff-bodied D-class member finally spoke up and asked.

The gun barrel pressed against his back made him feel extremely uneasy.

He knew the nature of this organization very well.

Human rights are non-existent in the eyes of this organization.

At least for these criminals, yes.

"Ask questions while looking in this mirror; we'll decide the questions."

Holding a tablet, Luo Zhen gestured for the D-class personnel to stand in front of the mirror.

At this moment, the mirror is in the center of the room, with its back to Rozen and Joseph.

The D-class members stood in front of the mirror, facing the mirror and Rozen and the others.

"?"

Frowning, the D-class member felt a hint of doubt.

Asking questions while looking in the mirror?

What are these people thinking?

As a devout believer, he firmly believed that God did not exist in this world.

Otherwise, he would have been put on trial long ago.

If it weren't for the numerous benefits that this religious identity would bring him, he wouldn't bother to believe in any fictitious god.

"...I see."

Despite having many things he didn't understand, the D-class member still spoke in a low voice.

He hadn't given up hope; he still wanted to leave alive.

Although he had become an experimental subject at this moment, he firmly believed that he still had a chance to start over.

How many dangerous creatures roam this city?

Holding up his tablet, Luo Zhen presented the question to the D-class members.

This question was not raised by Luo Zhen personally, but by researchers within the base.

"How many dangerous creatures are there in this city that haven't been contained?"

The D-level member read out the problem he saw, word by word.

At the same time, he seemed to understand something, but he wasn't quite sure.

"Oh, to be honest, I'm not sure about that. I can only say that, as far as I know, there are about 13 people still free to move around?"

The sudden sound startled the D-class members.

He began to speak while staring at the mirror in front of him.

That's right, it's talking.

He had initially thought it was just a mouth drawn on casually, but it actually started opening and closing.

Upon hearing this news, Joseph wrote it down.

The research institute will arrange for someone to confirm this later.

'Of these creatures, how many do you know about their locations?'

After a few seconds, a new question was sent to Luo Zhen's tablet.

Luo Zhen glanced at it and then showed it to the D-class members.

It looks like the research institute is going to be busy again.

Speaking of which, the research institute here in Japan has always been a very special existence among all research institutes.

It's not because this branch is particularly strong or capable, but because there are a lot of problems here.

Other research institute branches still have spare manpower after they have dealt with the matters in their own jurisdictions.

This branch is chronically understaffed.

The button for requesting support has been pressed so many times that it's almost faded.

As for why there are so many things happening here?

Putting aside everything else, let's just talk about the Aokigahara Forest, which is known as the suicide forest.

The area has been sealed off by the authorities, and the resentment of many dead people has gathered there, forming a group of extremely dangerous ghosts.

The mechanisms here can only prevent these things from rushing out directly and from breaking in.

The ghosts couldn't break through, but they weren't afraid of being surrounded and attacked.

Because the Aokigahara Forest is their home ground.

The Aokigahara Forest alone tied down a large number of troops from the Japanese Security Agency branch, not to mention other places.

"About this? I need to think about it."

After the D-class member repeated the question, the Skull Mirror remained silent for a moment.

Luo Zhen and Joseph exchanged a glance.

Is there something wrong?

Luo Zhen quietly pulled out the transformation device from behind him, ready to put it on his waist at any time.

Purple vines quietly extended from Joseph's hand and wrapped around his thick arm.

"Oh, let me explain."

Seemingly sensing Luo Zhen and Joseph's actions, the Skull Mirror quickly explained:

"There seems to be something wrong with my memory. I clearly remember there were thirteen wandering creatures, but there is one that I can't recall at all."

"There isn't even a single person like that in my memory."

"If the information I received hadn't explicitly stated that there were 13, I wouldn't have noticed anything unusual."

The skull mirror sounded somewhat depressed.

The feeling of having a missing piece of memory is not pleasant.

The feeling of knowing you've forgotten something but being unable to recall it can be incredibly frustrating.

'Tell me what you know first.'

After typing this line on the tablet, Luo Zhen tentatively glanced at Joseph beside him.

Joseph naturally understood what Luo Zhen meant, and after thinking for a moment, he replied:

"We can give it a try; Hermit Purple should be able to locate the other party."

Nodding, Luo Zhen turned his attention back to the skull mirror.

I learned from the other party that the people hiding in this city are mostly ghouls or similar creatures.

The research institute was still quite lenient with these guys.

The research institute will capture these guys and lock them in a secure containment chamber.
