Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 563 The Missing Puzzle, The Waiting Family

In Iida Keisuke's ward, in front of the hospital bed, as the silver clock that painted the moonlight dissipated behind him, Tokiwa Shogo slowly withdrew his hand extended to Iida Keisuke.

He glanced behind himself thoughtfully, then calmly turned his gaze to Iida.

"Success."

With the help of that moonlight, Sogo Tokiwa successfully reversed Keisuke Iida's condition for two years.

Those two years were not only the two years when Iida was bewitched by the cult, but also the best healing time that Keisuke Iida missed.

In other words, now, Keisuke Iida's body has returned to the state where he could be cured by his attending doctor, Dr. Kagami, two years ago.

Because of Tokiwa Shogo's previous performance in the "game library", Iida believed Tokiwa Shogo's words without any doubt.

He immediately went to the doctor to check up Keisuke Iida.

But while waiting for the inspection results to come out, he had already begun to tell Sogo Tokiwa in detail the information he knew about the cult in accordance with the pre-established contract.

Tokiwa Shogo still lacks many memories, so he needs to find more places like "Game Library" to record the history of the world.

Although Iida didn't know where the core locations of other cults like the "Game Library" were, but he participated in the "Action Plan for Revenge of Sogo Tokiwa", but he was able to help Sogo Tokiwa find people who knew where those places were.

Some moves are not afraid of getting old, as long as they are useful.

Sogo Tokiwa, who once again bears the history of Ex-Aid, has the confidence to pass any anti-counterfeiting certification of the cult.

Then, Sogo Tokiwa, who got what he wanted from Iida, only told Iida one last sentence, "Remember to report to the National Security Division of the Metropolitan Police Department", and left the hospital straight away.

He believes that the current Iida will definitely be able to make the right choice.

……

……

Walking out of the hospital gate, Sogo Tokiwa looked up at the sky, felt the temperature and humidity of the wind blowing on his face, and suddenly thought, if the weather continues to be as cold as this in the next week, then, if nothing unexpected happens, the world will usher in a new era. A wonderful white Christmas...

Thinking of this, Tokiwa Sogo's expression was suddenly inexplicably startled.

"White Christmas..."

He stopped in his tracks, murmured the term in a low voice, and an unspeakable sadness suddenly surged in his heart.

That sadness came from the memory he had just recovered, but there was no picture in that memory that could explain the source of this sadness.

The feeling of an inexplicable void in my heart is really uncomfortable.

It even made Tokiwa Sogo couldn't help but wonder if white Christmas is really a symbol of beauty?
he does not know.

He wanted to know.

and so……

"I still need more memories!"

……

……

The Viking family.

Since Sogo Tokiwa received the anonymous letter with horrific information from Iida, Shogo Tokiwa's parents, Sotaro Tokiwa and Namie Tokiwa have never left home.

They all knew that Sogo Tokiwa was not easy, and they were unwilling to add extra trouble to Sogo Tokiwa at this time, so they didn't object to Sogo Tokiwa's arrangement, and they stayed in the protective net set by Sogo Tokiwa with peace of mind.

But being idle is also idle, and they began to prepare Christmas decorations at home.

Assemble the Christmas tree, hang the lights, hang the decorations...

They also ordered their own Santa Claus suits to wear on Christmas Eve and give their son gifts prepared in advance.

Thanks to their efforts, the house was soon full of Christmas atmosphere, with cute and festive decorations and colors everywhere.

In such an environment, they should have felt relaxed and joyful, but neither Sotaro Tokiwa nor Namie Tokiwa could really be happy. They all felt that something was missing at home... What was it that was missing? ?

Sotaro Tokiwa and Namie Tokiwa looked at each other, and finally they both looked at the gate in unison.

Clearly, they both knew exactly what the final piece of the puzzle was that would make this home complete.

That was their precious son.

They are waiting for their son to come home.

……

……

【Zi-O line】

At the same time, from nine to five, Tokiwa Junichiro is also filling the store with Christmas atmosphere bit by bit.

However, feeling the loneliness in the store that was incompatible with the festive decorations, he couldn't help but sighed deeply.

To be honest, Tokiwa Junichiro didn't quite understand why the shop suddenly became so lonely.

As if it was just a moment to bow his head, he put down the plate in his hand, and when he looked up again, the members who were sitting at the dining table and waiting to move their chopsticks disappeared one by one.

First Tsukuyomi, then Tokiwa Sogo, Gates and Woz, and finally, he was left alone, staring blankly at the habitually prepared table full of meals with a sense of loss.

After a while, Tokiwa Junichiro came back to his senses, and slowly put away the extra food, leaving only one person's food.

Then, he picked up the bowl, picked up some food with chopsticks, lowered his head, but immediately raised his head because of a slight abnormal noise outside the door, put down the bowl and chopsticks, got up and walked out of the restaurant to look at the door of the store.

"Zhuang Wu?" He called softly.

There was a slight sound of wind outside the store, but no one responded.

……

……

【Heterogeneous Zi-O line】

Tokiwa Sogo suddenly called out a name.

"Woz!"

That was the name of the person who walked the foggy road with him in the memory he retrieved from the "Game Library".

When the words fell, the bell rang.

The wind rises and the wind falls.

The gray scarf fluttered away, and a young man in a gray-brown windbreaker and holding a history book appeared in front of Sogo Tokiwa, kneeling on one knee respectfully.

"Subordinates are here."

Finally, he no longer needs to use the code name of "historical recorder", but can use his own name to appear in front of the king dignifiedly, face the king's call, and make a sincere response to his majesty the devil.

"Subordinates...have always been there."

Tokiwa Sogo lowered his head and looked at the strange yet familiar man in front of him.

In his mind, there were no more memories of this man.

But in his heart, there was always a voice telling him that he could completely trust this person.

"My most loyal retainer."

Sogo Tokiwa stepped forward and put his hand on Woz's shoulder.

"My most reliable friend."

Tokiwa Shogo found the best adjective that fit the feeling the person in front of him brought him.

"My memory was divided by people, mixed with some forces that support the existence of this world, and buried in different places in this world. I am going to find them and take them back, but I can't let go of some things. Are you willing to help me solve my problems? Are you worried about the future?"

"Of course!" Woz replied without hesitation, "It is my great honor to share your worries!"

"Okay, then, I'll leave it to you."

After finishing speaking, Tokiwa Shogo exerted a little force on the palm on Woz's shoulder, paused for a moment, then released it, passed Woz, and continued to move forward.

Behind him is Woz, who still bowed his head deeply.

It wasn't until a long time later that Woz slowly raised his head, but his face at this moment was full of gloomy anger.

"Men Yasushi!"

He gritted his teeth and squeezed out the name, stood up with cold eyes, and looked towards the Forest of Light High School.

"Tearing open people's scars again and again, forcing people into a desperate situation, forcing people to destroy their own beauty with their own hands, is this what you call trials?"
