Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

Chapter Thirty-Three: The Repeatedly Forgotten Existence

"Was the entire army wiped out?"

Looking at the report in his hand, Joseph felt somewhat incredulous.

Joseph did not participate in yesterday's containment operation against the unknown creature.

He was handling his own work at the time, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he might be transferred to the Bald Eagle branch for a while later.

Unexpectedly, this happened during this period.

It seems his transfer order will be delayed for some time.

Joseph didn't care, since the other side was relatively peaceful, and his presence was needed more here.

"That's it."

Luo Zhen, leaning back in his chair, said with some distress:

"Although there were no casualties, all members lost their memories of the incident; they didn't even know what they were supposed to be doing."

"In this situation, it wouldn't be wrong to say that the entire army was wiped out."

Upon hearing Katsuyama Denshin's screams, the special task force soldiers did not rush into the villa in a moment of panic.

Instead, they calmly waited outside the wall for instructions from above.

The objective of this mission is the unknown creature, not to protect the serial killer.

Yes, all of Shengshan's little secrets were exposed after the research institute took notice of him.

For research institutes, crimes committed by ordinary people are not within their jurisdiction.

"What's next?"

Setting the report aside, Joseph turned his gaze to Rozen.

The problem is beyond just being thorny.

They knew nothing about this guy.

He even forgot about the other person's existence for a time.

Even though Dr. Samuel took emergency measures after noticing the anomaly, it only allowed those inside the research base to vaguely recall the existence of such a person.

You might even forget about the other person without realizing it.

"I don't know, there's nothing I can do for now."

Luo Zhen shrugged, indicating his helplessness.

Amazon is powerless in the face of such unusual events.

Superhuman strength, agile speed, and superhuman self-healing abilities.

These abilities are somewhat ineffective when faced with extraordinary events that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

Luo Zhen didn't have a very good solution to this.

At first, he even found it difficult to deal with beings like ghosts.

Even if he has overcome these weaknesses, it cannot cover up the fact that he has such weaknesses.

"What?"

Joseph looked at Rozen with some disbelief.

Are we at a loss?

What happened to the Humanity Protection Agency being promised to be the guardians of humanity in the shadow world?

Suddenly, Joseph had a feeling that he had boarded the wrong ship.

It's basically like Zoro thought he had boarded the Straw Hat Pirates' ship, only to find out after boarding that it really was just someone wearing a straw hat.

"What's there to get excited about?"

Luo Zhen raised his palm and pressed it down in the air, then calmly said:

"Dr. Samuel has already reported this matter, and reinforcements should be arriving soon."

Hearing this, Joseph relaxed a little.

If he didn't know, that would be one thing, but knowing that there was someone nearby who could potentially kill ordinary people, Joseph simply couldn't ignore him.

"So what do we do now?"

After sitting back down in his chair, Joseph asked.

Since Luo Zhen came to him with the information, there must be something he needs to do.

"What to do?"

Seeing Luo Zhen's bewildered expression, Joseph fell silent.

Is this what they mean by forgetting news about the other person?

After finally explaining the current situation to Rozen, Joseph repeated his question once again.

"Oh, the doctor asked you to use Hermit's Purple to check if TN (Tentative number)-349 is still in the villa."

Luo Zhen found a photograph in the file and handed it to Joseph.

This is footage taken at the last minute by a determined investigator, who then transmitted it back.

After that, like everyone else, he lost that memory.

Although it's unclear why TN-349 didn't kill them, that doesn't mean the agency can tolerate this guy wandering around outside.

"Ok."

Joseph took the photo and looked at the creature in it with curiosity.

It looks like a humanoid monster wearing a suit.

Judging by his attire alone, he looked somewhat like a priest performing services in a church, but his distorted face had absolutely nothing to do with being a priest.

It looks like old tea leaves that have been soaking in stinky water for two days.

Touching his chin, Joseph gave this assessment.

"The institute's current response is to mobilize a large number of people to surround Shengshan Chuanxin's villa."

"And an order was issued that the alarm button should be pressed immediately if anything is seen leaving the villa."

While Joseph was examining the photograph, Rozen was explaining the situation to him.

As he was speaking, he got stuck again.

It seems like I've forgotten something again?

In contrast, Joseph seems to have no similar performance at all.

Joseph speculated that this might be due to the Hermit's Purple, which gave him some resistance to this ability.

While it's impossible to remember someone 100%, it's still quite possible to remember their existence once their influence has diminished.

Joseph picked up an instant camera from the table and took a deep breath.

"Hermit Purple!"

The hand, entwined by purple vines, swung down suddenly, denting a large part of the Polaroid camera.

The Polaroid camera, emitting white smoke, was completely destroyed after producing just one photo.

Luo Zhen, standing to the side, looked at the Polaroid camera on the table with a helpless expression.

This guy could have used other methods, but he insisted on using a Polaroid camera.

They said it was to reminisce about the glorious years of the past.

Luo Zhen made no comment on this.

"It looks like they're still in the villa."

Joseph handed the photo to Luo Zhen and casually put the broken Polaroid camera aside.

The Hermit Purple was unable to transcribe the other person's image; it only provided a picture of Shengshan's villa.

It doesn't matter, as long as we're sure the other party is still in the villa.

"Let me contact the doctor first."

Looking at the photo, Luo Zhen gently tapped his earpiece.

Soon, Dr. Samuel's furious roar came through the headset.

"I don't care about the budget! Keep this thing in containment! If you turn around in your office and see this thing only half a foot from your nose, you'll lose several years of your life!"

It seems the member responsible for monitoring 650 has been slacking off.

Taking advantage of the moment when no one was watching it, it slipped out of the room and gave Dr. Samuel a big fright.

"Doctor, it's confirmed that TN-349 is still in Shengshan Chuanxin's villa."

"TN-349? What's that? Do we have that project?"

The doctor's questioning voice not only reached Luo Zhen's ears, but Joseph, who had just connected to the channel, also heard it clearly.

When I didn't say anything.

Joseph felt mentally exhausted.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Reinforcements Arrive

Under Dr. Samuel's arrangement, Shengshan Chuanxin's villa was practically a trap.

Even the creature designated TN-349 could not have left the villa without anyone noticing.

Unless it can teleport.

"JOJO, let me introduce you. This is Tom, an A-level investigator from the research institute."

Inside the meeting room, Luo Zhen was explaining the reinforcements to Joseph.

After receiving the request for reinforcements from the Chiba branch, headquarters readily dispatched support.

It's normal for a branch in Japan to request support.

As a subordinate branch of the shameful branch, everyone is very tolerant.

"Um, hello?"

Looking at the cat with its arms crossed, Joseph tentatively greeted it.

It's no wonder he hesitated; the cat wearing a detective's cape, smoking a pipe, and walking upright really does evoke a sense of absurdity.

But considering the special circumstances of the organization, this doesn't seem particularly strange.

"Investigator Tom, this is Joseph Joestar. He's only recently joined the institute and is already very good at intelligence gathering."

"It also has a certain degree of resistance to this anomaly."

Tom waved his hand to indicate that he understood.

The somewhat arrogant expression on his face wasn't off-putting; in fact, it made people want to laugh.

Tom pulled a notebook and a black pen from under his tail and wrote in it:

When do we leave?

Clearly, the containment object that had baffled the Chiba branch was nothing special to Tom.

Containment?

Is it Jerry the mouse?

No one can escape Mr. Tom's pursuit except for Jerry the mouse.

"It can be done at any time. Dr. Samuel has already approved the operation."

After handing the action permit to Tom, Luo Zhen prepared to leave.

He does not intend to participate in this incident.

He had worked with Tom once, and ever since then, Rozen decided never to take comedy characters seriously again.
