Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

This might not really be a big deal for Joseph.

Upon closer examination, Joseph's experiences can be described as quite colorful.

From a corpse to a pillar who has lived for ten thousand years, to the vampire Dio, and then to a priest who wants to ascend to heaven, the aging self does his best to transfer his memories to himself so that he can change the tragedy. Finally, he travels through the world to this new world and becomes a member of the organization. Now he has become the site manager.

What storms haven't I, Joseph, weathered in my life?

This is such a trivial matter, not worth mentioning at all.

Although I was indeed startled when Hermit Purple was initially affected.

"Actually, you could have acted even more shocked."

Luo Zhen, standing to the side, looked at Joseph with a helpless expression.

Is it really okay for you to be so calm?

It's important to know that the effects on a Stand will directly affect the user.

When a Stand is injured, the user will also be injured; the two are directly linked. Conversely, when the user is injured, it will also affect the Stand.

Of course, one Platinum Star is an exception.

What does Jotaro Kujo's injury have to do with my invincible Star Platinum?

"Well, wasn't this something we expected?"

"Wave your hand," Joseph said.

He had long been mentally prepared for this kind of thing.

Therefore, although I was slightly shocked at first when it actually happened, I quickly adjusted my mindset.

"Huh? He actually threw up?"

Just as Luo Zhen was about to say something, Joseph was surprised to find that the broken Polaroid camera had actually produced a photograph.

Everyone initially thought the reading and writing exercise had failed.

Surprisingly, this Polaroid camera actually fulfilled its mission.

"Let me do it."

Luo Zhen carefully pulled the photo out of the Polaroid camera and examined the unexpected picture closely.

There might be something wrong with this photo, like the previous Polaroid photos.

After careful examination, Luo Zhen came to a conclusion.

"Just an ordinary photo."

He then handed the photo to Joseph.

In the photo, a woman whose human form is barely discernible is holding a gear that gleams with a brass luster.

The reason why it is said that the human shape can be barely seen is because the other party's body is almost completely covered by gears of the same color and size.

In the shadows behind this person, one could vaguely see countless people with fanatical expressions reaching out to grab the figure.

"There's absolutely no useful information."

Joseph said with a slight troubled expression.

While the amount of information is substantial, there's not much useful information available right now.

Who is the other party? Where are they? And what is this gear?

I know nothing about these things.

Should we do it again?

Joseph stared thoughtfully at the broken Polaroid camera.

With Rozen by his side, Joseph didn't think there would be much of a problem.

It's like everyone knows that jumping from a height of fifty meters is very dangerous.

But if it's bungee jumping, and there's a net below to keep you safe.

Then you definitely won't be so scared.

It even felt very exciting and stimulating.

"I suggest you stop thinking about those things. I can't guarantee what will happen if we do it again."

As if sensing Joseph's thoughts, Luo Zhen said with a hint of helplessness.

After all, the other party had already noticed the last time it was read and written.

If you keep reading and writing and push the other person too far, who knows what might happen.

The other party here refers to the gear, not the person holding the gear.

Although it is just a small gear, such unusual items cannot be described by common sense.

That guy holding the gear is most likely just a puppet.

Luo Zhen had some ideas about the origin of this gear, but he wasn't sure.

After all, this world is like a recycling center, where all sorts of strange things come and go.

"Okay, forget it."

Joseph spread his hands, indicating that he understood.

In fact, he had just suddenly remembered that he seemed to still have an insect arrow, which he hadn't used since he changed all the tragedies.

After all, the abilities that Hermit Purple evolved under the catalysis of the Insect Arrow didn't actually help much with telepathy or combat; they were just abilities specialized to achieve her own goals.

It can be considered an ability that evolved by sacrificing potential in other areas.

Soon, the entire Chiba base was placed on high alert.

The entire base began operating at high speed, with Joseph and Rozen placing great importance on this strange gear.

Meanwhile, information about this mission was also sent directly to headquarters.

the other side--

"What's wrong, Minagawa-sensei?"

Akane Minagawa, who was chatting and laughing with a physical education teacher, suddenly paused, looking very strange.

"Excuse me, I have something to attend to. Please excuse me for a moment."

With an apologetic smile on her face, Minagawa Akane quickly walked out.

Only the PE teacher was left looking completely bewildered and at a loss.

Seeing Minagawa Akane's somewhat hurried appearance, and recalling her strange expression earlier, the PE teacher seemed to understand something.

Did I accidentally touch a switch?

Chapter 1026 Those who advise people to be grateful are usually not good people.

As the order was issued from the office, the entire Chiba base entered a state of high-speed operation.

All departments are working with this mission at the core.

The files transferred by the Chiba police were disassembled and analyzed carefully, word by word.

The bodies that were originally going to be disposed of were also transported over immediately for re-examination.

"call........"

Taking off his glasses, Horikita Manabu rubbed his temples wearily.

His life after joining the organization was very fulfilling, filled with a lot of learning and training programs every day.

Although his position is in management, that doesn't mean he doesn't need physical training.

There isn't a single enemy in this base, big or small, that can't be fought.

Horikita Manabu was no exception.

Even though he had learned some fighting skills before, it was only superficial and he couldn't even be considered an expert.

After all, Advanced Education Academy is a school.

Violence is always a last resort, not a solution.

This is something that is absolutely not allowed to happen openly.

Needless to say, Horikita Manabu, as the student council president, was also involved.

Even if he had studied it before, three years was enough time for him to forget all that knowledge.

Therefore, after arriving at the government office, he not only had to learn knowledge related to his future work.

They also had to endure physical and mental torment from their instructor, Hatsukami Izumi, every day.

That uncle always managed to say things that made people furious in a very calm tone.

Horikita Manabu had already adapted a lot during this period and was gradually starting to get involved in some work under the guidance of his seniors.

The unexpected task completely disrupted the original plan.

Even someone like him, who hadn't officially started working yet, was pulled in to work overtime with them.

"Don't sigh, sighing too much will make you age very quickly."

A senior colleague handed Horikita Manabu a can of coffee.

These past two days have been quite tough for Horikita Manabu.

According to the training schedule of Chujianquan, he should have rested for the next two days.

But the sudden assignment started his journey of working overtime.

Although it's voluntary, work is work.

I'll never be happy if I'm working.

Is there any job in this world that makes people happy?

After all, the essence of work is to earn wealth, and the purpose of earning wealth is to enjoy life.

But in reality, most people's purpose in making money has shifted from enjoying life to struggling to survive in this society.

Enjoying life? That's not an option.

The same applies to most people in the base.

If we only consider wealth, they could indeed live a very comfortable life.

But most of the time they don't have the leisure to enjoy life.

Working overtime is something I've gotten used to.

"This mission is a bit troublesome. It seems that even Supervisor Joseph and Investigator Rozen don't know what to do."

Leaning back in his chair, the senior colleague's eyes remained fixed on the screen in front of him.

The image above shows all the footage of a deceased individual that appeared on surveillance cameras during this period.

You need to record who you've met and what you've done.

Ideally, you should find someone who is obviously problematic; if not, you should find someone who has been in contact with all of them.

Although these people will be monitored afterward, at least they will have a clear target.

"Is that so?"

Horikita Manabu, having pulled the tab and taken a sip of coffee, casually replied.

According to this senior, in the past, such abnormal events would usually be resolved very quickly.

After all, there is a very reliable supervisor and investigator.

Such unusual things are basically impossible to hide and will be found immediately.

The rest is much simpler.

With such a reliable boss, other bases are actually quite envious of the Chiba base.

After all, finding these unusual things often requires a lot of effort and may even result in injuries or fatalities.

Meanwhile, casualties at the Chiba base have remained low.
