knight starts with empty me

Chapter 31 Golem Fragments

Kanto Medical University, 3:45pm.
Ryusuke Higashino came to the hospital on his newly acquired police locomotive, and followed the address left by Natsume's mother and daughter to find Natsume Shinji's ward.

The location of this ward is very good. The afternoon sun shines through the window, the plants on the windowsill are bathed in golden light, and the room is transparent.

The door was open, as if it was waiting for someone, and Natsume and her daughter were nowhere to be seen.

There was only a middle-aged man lying on the hospital bed. It seemed that his injuries had not recovered, but he was mentally in a good state.

It was Natsume Shinji, and Ryusuke recognized him at a glance. Compared to when he was in the ruins, the light was dim, the wounds all over his body, and the flesh was blurred.He looks much better now.

Higashino Ryusuke walked in silently.

"Please take a seat." Professor Natsume sat up with his hands on his body and said respectfully.

Long Jie was silent for a while, then said, "I think you probably already know my identity."

"It's number one, and the one who saved me." Professor Natsume nodded and answered affirmatively.

He pointed to the newspaper on the bedside table, "I've read the latest news, and I know a little bit about those guys."

Professor Natsume's mood suddenly dropped, "Mr. Higashino, are we wrong? If I didn't find the ruins, those guys wouldn't show up, and neither would my students..."

If it was someone else, they might be comforting Professor Natsume by now, but...

"Yes, but it's not all your fault." Long Jie did not deny him, but chose to clarify the responsibilities of the Jiulangyue incident.

"The power of the ruins is weakening day by day. Even without you, they will still appear one day. But you did cause the awakening of the King of Gulangi and the death of Rick in advance."

Professor Natsume was silent, for a long time, he sighed a long, full of self-blame.

"sorry."

"I came to you this time because of some very early discoveries."

Professor Natsume opened the bedside cabinet, took out a black box and placed it in front of Ryusuke.

He opened the box, and a black stone lay there quietly, with a wide and low pointed tip, the shape of a rhino horn, and it didn't look like it was made of nature.

Professor Natsume explained in a low tone: "This is what I found around the ruins, or it can be said that I discovered the ruins because of it. I think it is also something handed down from super ancient times!"

"It's a very special material, it's a known substance, but it has some magical properties, like it can change shape. And I've always felt that it's just part of something."

"I know I've made irreparable mistakes, and I just hope I can help with this kind of thing..."

Ryusuke listened to Professor Natsume's narration quietly, he stretched out his right hand and stroked the black stone in front of him.

"Om—" There was a sudden wave of waves on the belt echoing the stone. Long Jie felt a wisp of sealing power pouring into the stone in his hand from the belt, but the stone itself did not have the ability to store, so the sealing power was very strong. dissipated soon.

It seems that because there is no Yamadam spirit stone as the core, it cannot store energy?He soon understood the reason for this situation.

However, in Professor Natsume's eyes, the stone suddenly lost its stony blackness, and instead revealed a black-gold metallic luster.

Professor Natsume looked at the changes in the stone in Ryusuke's hands in surprise.

"What exactly is this?!"

Long Jie raised his right hand, and the stone immediately dimmed and returned to its original appearance.

"His name is Golem, and in the super ancient times, he was a partner who fought alongside Sora against Gurangi."

"Empty me? Do you mean No. [-]?"

"That's right. Golems are mechanical beings made by super-ancient humans based on catalpa-type insects. They are known as messengers of gods. They are Kugo's mounts and the armor of war horses."

"Mechanical life?!" Professor Natsume was once again shocked, "Have super ancient humans achieved such an achievement? Wait, you said that thing can assist Kuga in combat?"

"Yes, finding the complete Golem will be very helpful to Sora." Long Jie said with certainty.

Professor Natsume's eyes lit up again, "Thank you, Mr. Higashino, I think I have found a reason to keep fighting! Next week, I will start the search for Golem as soon as possible."

Ryusuke Higashino looked at the middle-aged man lying on the hospital bed, and he couldn't breathe because his tone was too fast, and he coughed a few times.

"Is your body too reluctant?"

Professor Natsume shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If this can make up for the mistakes I made, what are these minor physical problems?"

For this middle-aged man, this may be something he will always do for the rest of his life. As for whether he can make up for it...

Ryuuji just nodded.

"Definitely!"

……

Bunkyo Ward, Hakusan Town.

The night gradually came, but there was no new information on unconfirmed lifeforms today. After going to the hospital in the afternoon, Higashino Ryusuke returned to Asama's house and had dinner with the Asama family.

It was very late when Wang Shen came back.

But the strange thing is that Wang Shen's whole person looks like a lost soul, and his expression flashes panic and worry from time to time.

"Pharaoh, what happened?"

"Old King..."

However, Wang Shen just kept stunned, and Long Jie called several times before he could react.

"Ah? No... nothing, rest!" Wang Shen replied absentmindedly.

Long Jie could only look at him suspiciously.

Night falls.

On the outskirts of Tokyo, a tall humanoid figure quietly appeared, with various fish features on its body and a bloated head that looked like a dolphin.

He looked at the dark night sky, made a few strange movements in his hands, and then bowed slightly, as if he was repenting.

Then he turned his gaze to the city in the distance, which was in the direction of Hakusancho in the Bunkyo Ward.

"Tingling-"

The harsh wind bell rang, as if it was about to burrow into the human skull and smash the brain.

However, only very few people can feel this sound.

"Whoa!"

Wang Shen, who had picked up the kettle and wanted to pour himself a glass of water, suddenly turned pale, and the water from the kettle was spilled on the ground with a shake of his body.

This is destined to be a restless night...

(ps. Here we come, the foreshadowing about Lao Wang will be revealed soon.)
