Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

So, not long after joining the research institute, Asukai Kiki's sense of belonging to the institute was almost at its maximum.

"Oh, that's alright."

Not knowing what to say, Luo Zhen could only repeat the words he had used to appease Joseph.

At that moment, Luo Zhen suddenly understood why Japanese people especially liked to say, "Ah, that's right."

Because it's really useful, especially when you're just going through the motions.

Joseph, on the other side, stroked his chin and looked at the two of them with a thoughtful expression.

Chapter 82 Idols Aren't Always Good People

For a moment, the only sounds in the office area could be the conversation between Luo Zhen and Asukai Kiki.

Joseph, who had remained silent the whole time, suddenly felt a little superfluous and a bit sour.

'No, no! I, Joseph Joestar, am a notorious womanizer!'

Joseph shook his head violently, banishing those strange thoughts from his mind as he was about to turn into a lemon.

Who is he?

Joseph Joestar!

No matter what age a man is, he has plenty of young girls chasing after him!

"By the way, JOJO, have you found any clues about Shocker's base?"

Suddenly, Luo Zhen changed the subject and asked Joseph.

He and Asukai Kiki were almost unable to continue their conversation.

The conversations between the two were usually dominated by Asukai Kiki, while Luo Zhen would generally listen and occasionally chime in with a few words.

But Asukai Kiki isn't actually the type to talk a lot; this is pretty much the limit of what she can say.

In addition, she had just arrived here, so she didn't know the situation in Chiba, and she didn't know what to say about work.

I wanted Luo Zhen to say something, but Luo Zhen had a very serious expression (actually, he just didn't know what to say).

So Asukai Kiki didn't know how to start the conversation, and even subconsciously lowered her voice.

In this situation, Luo Zhen decisively shifted the topic to Joseph to prevent an awkward silence.

"I have absolutely no clue. Could you get me AO-3376's report?"

Just thinking about that Shocker made Joseph's teeth ache.

Are those bastards born in the Year of the Rat?

They were so good at hiding that Joseph wondered what they had gone through to have such extensive experience in evading detection and searching.

However, Joseph wasn't worried because he wasn't fighting alone.

Behind him was a whole human rights protection agency.

Even if he really has no other choice, the research institute can still find this rat hiding in the dark underground.

So Joseph's mindset was actually quite good; he was just a little frustrated because he hadn't been able to find Shocker.

'When I get the chance to go back, I'll definitely get the arrow.'

Having made up his mind, Joseph set his sights on the arrow.

With the resources of the research institute, it is not impossible to achieve this.

"Really? What did the doctor say?"

Luo Zhen pulled out a copy of the document and handed it to Joseph. He wasn't too surprised by the result.

Given the research institute's efficiency, if they had indeed located Shocker's base, they should be on high alert by now.

"The doctor didn't say anything, he just made a note of it in the expense report."

Regarding the expenditure of funds, Dr. Samuel has not been able to reach an agreement with the higher authorities.

After all, researchers always want more research funding.

For a pure scientific researcher, they can accept dressing poorly and eating poorly.

However, they could not accept that the laboratory equipment was outdated and poorly maintained.

And all of these things cost money.

It wasn't just Dr. Samuel who had objections to the funding; the researchers at the base also had their own opinions about the allocation of funds.

There's nothing we can do about it; the research institute expressed its helplessness.

"By the way, Dr. Samuel has been promoted to head of the Chiba branch site in this personnel reshuffle."

As if he had thought of something, Joseph turned his head and said.

Actually, this was mostly said to Asukai Kiki, because the people in the Chiba branch were already used to Dr. Samuel's style, which was more like that of a site manager than a site manager.

"Isn't this a good thing? Dr. Samuel's promotion to site manager is good for everyone."

Luo Zhen said indifferently.

That's actually the truth.

The previous site manager was quite capable, but he was always somewhat indecisive when it came to decision-making.

Although there had never been any misconduct, the task force was still somewhat annoyed.

In contrast, the decisive and serious Dr. Samuel was more to their liking.

Unbeknownst to them, Dr. Samuel was showing signs of taking the initiative over the two people who were at the same security level.

That's really awkward.

Fortunately, this personnel reshuffle removed that site manager and promoted Dr. Samuel to the position.

Although it felt like Dr. Samuel had pushed the other person out, there was nothing that could be done about it.

"To be honest, Dr. Samuel seems quite reluctant."

“That’s natural; Dr. Samuel is probably already complaining about the workload.”

As they spoke, they both laughed.

Although the PhD student is very serious, he actually gets along quite well with everyone.

Asukai Kiki listened quietly to their conversation and wrote down what they mentioned about Dr. Samuel.

This will help her integrate into the base sooner.

"Luo Zhen, Dr. Samuel is looking for you."

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, a message popped up on the computer in front of Luo Zhen.

It looks like there's some kind of mission or something.

Standing up, Luo Zhen turned to the two of them and said:

"The professor is looking for me, so I'll head over now."

After saying that, he left the office area.

After Luo Zhen left, Asukai Kiki and Joseph fell into a silent silence.

Neither of them knew what to say.

'Let's wait for Luo Zhen to come back.'

With a sigh, Joseph continued with his task.

He was in a similarly quiet state when Luo Zhen wasn't around.

It's true that Joseph sometimes talks to himself, but that doesn't mean he can talk to himself all day long.

"Doctor, I'm here."

Pushing open the laboratory door, Dr. Samuel was still recording the data at hand, not immediately paying attention to Luo Zhen's meaning.

Luo Zhen remained silent for about ten seconds before Dr. Samuel looked up at him and said:

"I have a task for you. Take a look."

Dr. Samuel handed the tablet to Luo Zhen and continued:

"The follow-up information will be sent to your phone before departure, please check it carefully."

In short, a guy who doesn't know if he's a ghoul or something else has infiltrated an underground idol group and become their guitarist.

Judging from the current situation, that guy has already seduced several fans with ulterior motives, and then some things that are not suitable for children have happened.

Yes, it's very gory and not suitable for children.

Due to various reasons, including location, the research institute did not intend to send out a large number of special task forces.

Luo Zhen's mission is to go there and find this guy.

Break its limbs, then put it in a special containment box at the research institute and bring it back.

The only requirement is that it shouldn't attract too much attention.

"understood."

After putting down the tablet, Luo Zhen chatted briefly with Dr. Samuel before leaving the lab.

According to the band's information, their performance time is 9 PM.

It's already six o'clock, so Luo Zhen needs to hurry up a bit.

Chapter 83 From the Sky

At 7 p.m., Nakano Azusa stood on the shopping street, carrying her electric guitar, lost in thought.

She initially joined the Light Music Club with the intention of learning, but after joining, she found that no one was practicing at all.

Every day, the club activities consist of drinking tea and eating snacks, and chatting; there's absolutely no atmosphere for practice.

This atmosphere was enjoyable, but it wasn't what Nakano Azusa wanted.

She is a very strong-willed girl. She started learning guitar at a young age, which led to her having a kind of persistence in this area that is hard for ordinary people to understand.

In addition to her parents' influence, she has been working hard to study and wants to become better.

I joined the light music club because I was interested in the performance opportunities, which might help me improve myself.

result.....

"Let's not just stick to Light Music Club."

Having made up her mind, Nakano Azusa began looking for bands that performed in the evenings.

Although she felt somewhat sorry for her seniors, Nakano Azusa sincerely hoped that she could become better.

The number of people on the commercial street at night was no less than during the day.

Many night owls have also started going out to find fun.

Many resident singers and underground idol groups showcased their talents on stage.

'You played wonderfully.'

Standing below the stage, Azusa Nakano stared blankly at the band on stage.

The other side's performance was indeed excellent, which could be seen from the enthusiastic crowd below the stage.

But Nakano Azusa's heart was truly at peace, as if she were from another world.

I couldn't feel the passion, nor could I feel the emotions in the music.

It's like listening to music played by a machine.

That's only natural, isn't it? These resident bands perform every night, day after day. How much enthusiasm do they have left?

Turning away, Azusa Nakano continued her search for a suitable band.

In fact, at this point, her heart was already wavering.

She had made a great decision to come out, but the repeated setbacks left her somewhat disappointed.
