Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

"how is the situation?"

Upon arriving at the conference room, Luo Zhen asked Joseph, who was standing next to him, "..."

His security clearance level was sufficient for him to attend most meetings at the Chiba branch.

There are only a few meetings he cannot attend, such as internal meetings of the research department.

"The advance team was wiped out, and all the D-level members sent in were also killed."

"The following robot becomes ineffective after entering a certain range."

"The research institute has sealed off the site and there are no further actions yet."

Joseph's face looked quite grim.

It wasn't just because of the helplessness in the face of the containment object, but also because of the deaths of its members.

They were the elite of the elite, but they died under mysterious circumstances.

They didn't even see the true appearance of the contained object.

This made Joseph feel very heavy-hearted.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

Dr. Samuel stood at the very front of the conference table, clapped his hands, and said:

"This is video footage taken by the advance team and D-class members."

There was a slight commotion in the conference room when Dr. Samuel played the video.

For research institutes, actions such as playing videos actually pose a certain degree of danger.

After all, there are quite a few containment objects that produce effects through visuals, videos, and other means.

According to previous information, even the advance team couldn't figure out how they failed.

"The video poses no danger; we have already confirmed that."

Dr. Samuel glanced at the agitated conference room and said coldly.

He did not doubt these people's loyalty to the research institute, but their level of expertise was indeed not very satisfactory.

There's nothing we can do about it; the Chiba branch has always been short-staffed.

Many people who should have been interns were directly promoted, so Dr. Samuel generally didn't make too many demands on these people.

Don't cause trouble, don't hold others back, just be a carefree slacker.

The research institute has recently been gradually sending available personnel to the Chiba branch, which is why Dr. Samuel is able to remain calm.

Anyway, these people will all be going back to school for retraining, so he probably won't see them again.

Upon hearing this, the meeting room fell silent, and everyone watched the video played by Dr. Samuel intently.

It appears to have been recorded by a miniature camera on one of the members' helmets.

The surrounding area appeared to be a plaza, which had been urgently sealed off by special forces due to a gas explosion.

Whether others believe it or not, that's the reason they use.

I haven't noticed any problems after using it for so long.

Everything was normal until they entered the square, but an accident occurred as they stepped into the circular square.

"what!"

Without warning, the squad leader collapsed to the ground after letting out a brief scream.

As if a switch had been flipped, the remaining team members screamed in agony one after another before collapsing to the ground.

The camera continued recording even after the team members fell.

It's clear from the footage that the squad leader's head has been irregularly deformed, as if something is wreaking havoc inside.

Large amounts of blood mixed with grayish-white liquid flowed from the squad leader's nose, mouth, eyes, and ears.

"Paji!"

Suddenly, a pink tentacle covered the lens, and opaque slime covered most of it.

In the footage, the tentacles paused briefly before slowly beginning to move.

"Crack, click, click."

A sickeningly sharp tightening sound rang out, accompanied by the cracking of internal parts, and the lens quickly stopped working.

After the video finished playing, the meeting room remained quiet.

The expressions on everyone's faces were not good.

Especially Rozen and Joseph.

They had absolutely no effective means of defense against this bizarre attack method.

Joseph is alright; he might be able to hold out a little by using the Hermit's Purple.

But Luo Zhen truly relied entirely on his own strength to get through it.

In other words, they may still be unable to contribute to this mission, and can only help seal off the surrounding area.

"This is an anomalous creature captured on site by the Mobile Task Force."

A strange life form, immersed in a green liquid, was brought out from the glove box.

It is called life because this thing clearly shows signs of life, albeit very faintly.

If it weren't for the occasional twitching of its tentacles, they would have almost thought the thing was dead.

"What's this?"

Joseph's expression grew increasingly grim.

Its unusual appearance reminded him of something unpleasant.

He just hoped his contact wasn't real.

“As I said, it was the Mobile Task Force that captured the anomalous life form at the scene.”

"Of course, if you ask about the original identity of this thing, then I'll tell you, it's the brain of the advance team members."

Dr. Samuel glanced at Joseph and said calmly.

What he's showing us now is just one of the many captured by the Cruel Beast Squad; the rest have been taken for research and analysis.

That's why they were able to analyze the useful information so quickly.

"As you can see, their brains have come to life and have opened up on their own."

"But he was caught before he could run for very long."

Holding the transparent jar, Dr. Samuel spoke in the rational tone characteristic of a researcher.

Although he wanted to say it in a more relaxed tone, he ended up using his most natural and comfortable tone.

The atmosphere in the meeting room grew increasingly heavy.

Chapter Fifty-Eight: It's like a god of war!

Just when everyone was at a loss, a person—no, to be precise, a cat—broke the deadlock.

"Dr. Samuel! Investigator Tom has suddenly rushed in!"

Dr. Samuel's assistant suddenly pushed open the conference room door and rushed in, speaking in a flustered manner.

After the last mission, Investigator Tom was supposed to return to its original base.

However, considering that the Chiba base's ability to deal with unusual events is relatively weak, the investigator Tom was temporarily left at the Chiba base.

Tom, the investigator, will not return until the originally scheduled investigator arrives.

That's how it was supposed to be, but now Investigator Tom suddenly disobeyed orders and rushed into the cordon.

"what happened?"

Dr. Samuel looked extremely grim.

Tom the Investigator is considered a trump card in Tom Chiba's hands.

But in this world, it's not that even the best players can't make a mistake.

Who do you think the term "car crash" was coined for?

Before understanding the nature of those bizarre containment objects, no one dared to approach them with confidence.

"It seems like a rat's brain was wandering around, and Investigator Tom discovered it, and then..."

The assistant's voice grew softer and softer until he could no longer speak.

They really can't be blamed for this.

Based on the information we have so far, the rat was already in the square.

The research institute merely cordoned off the square; it did not clean the area.

"I see."

Dr. Samuel rubbed his temples, looking very troubled.

What is this and what?

Suddenly, Dr. Samuel felt the urge to retire.

The people under my command are either useless or disobedient.

As a PhD student, he was very distressed.

It seems like my hairline has receded a bit.

"Doctor, Investigator Tom is out!"

Just as Dr. Samuel was pondering a solution, new information arrived.

Dr. Samuel immediately snatched the tablet from his assistant.

The tablet displays a scene that is extremely challenging to one's rationality.

Tom, the investigator, whose skull had been ripped open, chased after the head that had grown four little legs and was running wildly.

It appears to be its own head.

As Tom ran, the top of his head swayed with each step, but it didn't fall off.

Tom, the investigator, carrying a frying pan, looked like a god of war.

Along the way, all sorts of active brains were knocked unconscious by Investigator Tom with a frying pan.

Judging from the video, these activated brains appear to be capable of launching attacks similar to mental shocks.

Unfortunately, Investigator Tom was completely unaffected.

It's unclear whether Tom, the investigator, was out of his mind at that moment or if he was inherently resistant to such attacks.

Within minutes, all the activated brains were knocked unconscious by Tom, the investigator.

Aside from Tom's own intellect.

Perhaps inheriting the wisdom of Investigator Tom, all of Investigator Tom's brains displayed superb movement skills, making Investigator Tom suffer greatly.

Finally, investigator Tom got his head caught.

Brushing off the dust, Investigator Tom stared at his brain, lost in thought.

It seemed very unhappy with its four extra legs.

I always feel a bit uncomfortable having this thing stuffed into my brain.

Tom the investigator pulled out a pair of scissors from somewhere, and with a swift motion, cut off the four little legs of his brain. Then, satisfied, he stuffed the brain back into his empty head.

No blood was lost during this period.

After the skull was closed, Investigator Tom made sure to secure it with two layers of transparent tape to ensure his brain wouldn't pop out of the coffin.

With a clap of his hands, Investigator Tom walked back, satisfied.

The locked-up brain thumped a few times in frustration before accepting the fact that it had lost its freedom.
