A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

“I’ve confirmed it; the Caesar belt is not in Inukai’s possession.”

"what?"

The three of them were already puzzled by the fact that Jiang Yang had simply made a phone call and then came back to confirm the name and location of the belt.

"How did you know that? Just one phone call? What kind of investigative ability could find out all that in such a short time?"

"It's actually very simple, because I took the belt from them and gave it to someone else. I just need to make a phone call to find out if Caesar's belt is still there."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, this is quite a leap. What's going on? Are we talking about the same thing? Have we omitted a lot of details?"

"Jiang Yang, who are you talking about? Could it be Sanyuan?"

Zhenli remembered that Jiang Yang had asked her for Mihara's contact information before.

"No, it's Masuda-sensei. It's too much trouble to explain from the beginning. You can ask him when you meet him. Anyway, we can now confirm that the belt is not in Inukai's hands."

"Just how many things have you been hiding from us?"

He skillfully posed a soul-searching question.

Jiang Yang said that there wasn't much, and it was really just a story.

Of course, he couldn't answer.

So, are we going tomorrow or not?

Ask her the truth, since it concerns her classmate, and she should be the one to make the decision.

"Perhaps there's something about the belt they want to discuss with me. I'd better go."

So, the itinerary for tomorrow afternoon is decided: water park.

"In that case, let's all go together."

As Keitaro spoke, a smile appeared on his face, as if he had thought of something.

Jiang Yang looked disgusted.

"I'm too embarrassed to call you out on your thoughts, but you did the right thing. Boys should take the initiative."

As he spoke, Jiang Yang looked at Zhenli, and the two smiled at each other. Qi Taro lowered his head shyly, leaving Takumi alone, unaware of what had happened.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Yeah, what are they talking about? I don't know, ask Keitaro."

Jiang Yang smiled.

Dinner was prepared by Chef Truth.

To be fair, the taste isn't bad; it's at least better than Jiangyang's own.

Jiang Yang's cooking skills are such that he can cook for himself and even enjoys it, but only he can eat it. As for others, well, never mind.

Let's not poison innocent people.

After the meal, Jiang Yang said goodbye and left.

"You're leaving already? With your injuries, why don't you stay? There are plenty of rooms here. You can leave when your injuries have healed."

Keitaro was kindly concerned for Jiang Yang, after all, his injuries were indeed very serious, and he couldn't bear to let Jiang Yang leave alone at this time.

"Don't worry, it's all fine now. It's just a superficial injury. I'll just need to rest at home. Besides, I'm sorry to say, but I'm a light sleeper."

In the end, Keitaro could only watch Jiang Yang leave with a helpless expression.

Jiang Yang's body hasn't fully recovered yet, but it no longer affects his normal activities. Even if he were to transform and fight monsters now, it wouldn't be a problem.

"A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. But unfortunately, I am not a gentleman; I am a farmer."

Since your AI used sneak attacks to bully honest people, don't blame the honest people for starting to retaliate.

As he spoke, Jiang Yang dialed the number of the lumberyard and went to the lumberyard's house.

"here."

Timber yard beckons.

I parked my bike next to the lumberyard.

Muchang handed Jiang Yang a badge directly—a work badge for the Zhinao Group. Only by wearing this badge could he enter and exit the Zhinao Group building.

"What do you need this for so late?"

"Nothing much, just going to pick up some things and drop off a gift. By the way, how's Kaido doing?"

Just as I thought, he's not that kind of person.

"I guessed so. Okay, I'm in a bit of a hurry, so I'll be going now. Contact me anytime if you need anything."

"Do you need help?"

"No need, someone just gave me a big gift, I'm going to return the favor and get some compensation."

After saying that, Jiang Yang rode the War Lion and set off.

Murakami Kyoji, the lucky four-leaf clover, almost killed him the moment he arrived, so not returning the favor is really not his style.

If an enemy comes from afar, we will surely punish him, no matter how far away he is.

Now is not the time to challenge the lucky four-leaf clover, but it's still possible to collect some interest from the Brainpower Group first.

Park the car far away in a secluded corner and retract it into the available space.

Then came the change of clothes.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Yang had transformed into an ordinary office worker, complete with glasses and a mask.

The Brainpower Group has installed cameras in an area near the building; if you walk past it openly, you will definitely be discovered.

Although my current attire might arouse suspicion, as long as the other party cannot confirm that it is me, then there is no problem.

Jiang Yang arrived at the building with unexpected ease.

He confirmed through the receptionist that President Murakami Kyoji was not in the company, and the blue rose had gone out with the president. He then used the excuse of needing to deliver some documents to confirm the location of the president's office.

Although the receptionist was puzzled and found Jiang Yang unfamiliar, he had an employee badge, his reason was reasonable, and he didn't seem like a bad person. The AI ​​Group was so large; they couldn't possibly know everyone. Thinking this way, there was no problem.

"very good."

Next, through questioning, he located the power distribution room, switched to ixa burst mode, and directly cut off the main line.

In an instant, the entire building lost its power supply and went dark.

Jiang Yang thought he had already transformed into ixa, and the darkness had no effect on him at all.

After that, he frantically climbed the stairs, even after transforming. I remember he did the same thing before Kuuga's Azure Dragon form appeared. But the number of floors was on a completely different level.

Jiang Yang climbed directly to the top floor, the floor where the president's office was located.

The time was very short, and Jiang Yang moved very quickly, so he was not noticed by anyone else.

Upon arriving at the president's office, he simply burst through the door. His movements were so swift and practiced that one wondered if this was his first time doing something like this.

There probably wasn't any Orphnoch in the building, otherwise they would have made their move long ago.

After finding the president's computer, he simply waited.

To be fair, large corporations are really good at handling emergencies; they restored power to the building in no time at all.

I don't know if the repairs downstairs were completed or if there's an emergency power supply.

But that's not important, let's get to work.

Jiang Yang's task was simple: to use the IXA's built-in computer to hack into the CEO's computer at the Smart Brain Group. The IXA's built-in computer wasn't just for combat; it could also be used as an advanced computer—the kind that didn't require manual operation.

Jiang Yang admitted that the technological capabilities of the Brain Group were indeed very high, and he estimated that there were very few people in this world who could break through the blockade. But if he used future fusion, or rather, future technology, how would you deal with it?

As expected, ixa successfully hacked into the computer, and Jiang Yang then began searching for information.

He moved quickly and entered the office. After all, he had broken in, and it was only a matter of time before he was discovered. Before that, he needed to find what he wanted.

"Found it! Is it already done? As expected of an AI. But, you're mine now."

Having noted down the information, Jiang Yang realized he had achieved one-third of his objective. Judging that he still had some time, he checked another piece of information.

The entry is: Human, Orphnoch, Transformation.

After that, Jiang Yang pulled out a bunch of documents, but he quickly focused on that one.

How to Achieve More Efficient Apostle Regeneration.

"It really does."

In the Faiz movie, Paradise Lost, the AI ​​discovered a method to convert humans into Orphnochs on a large scale and with high efficiency, thus reversing the quantitative disparity between humans and Orphnochs. This allowed Orphnochs to dominate the world, while humans became rare and barely surviving.

Jiang Yang was just curious whether such research existed in the world, and it turned out to be true.

The most important document was "How to Achieve More Efficient Apostle Regeneration," which Jiang Yang didn't read the contents of but only the notes at the end.

This research has remained in the theoretical stage and has been unable to be put into practical application.

Jiang Yang recorded the information of the researchers involved, and then completely deleted the relevant files from his computer, leaving no possibility of recovery whatsoever.

Even if there's only a possibility, he won't let the research continue; he plans to visit each of the researchers later.

But right now, he needs to finish what he's doing. He's already deleted everything, so why not delete a little more?

Consider it as giving the newly appointed president some work to do, so he won't be idle all day causing trouble.
