Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 730 Lies and Truth

“I’m official.”

Of course, this sentence did not have any other implications in the eyes of the expulsion squad.

As a former detective, Shito Makoto naturally thought of the Metropolitan Police Department, and then of the people behind it.

"what."

He couldn't help but sneer.

"It seems that those high-ranking gentlemen are not all blind."

To put it simply, the extermination squad is a group of mercenaries hired by Nozama Pharmaceutical for a high salary to help them clean up the mess of the "Amazon leak accident".

Their role is to hunt down those Amazon test subjects that have awakened and started eating humans.

And all this was done in secret.

Because Nozama Pharmaceutical needs to conceal the scandal.

What is manifested is... in the extermination squad's previous missions, no matter how many corpses eaten by experimental subjects they found at the scene, as long as they were cleaned up afterwards, Nozama Pharmaceutical would be able to suppress these "murder cases".

During this period, the media was blind and the Metropolitan Police Department was also blind.

Everybody is getting paid to do things.

We are all "mercenaries".

This has been going on for two years without exception.

It is precisely because of this that after hearing Tokiwa Sougo's "official" words, Shito Makoto could not help but sneer, which was both self-deprecating and ironic.

Hearing this, Tokiwa Sougo smiled and shook his head.

"You may have misunderstood something..." he said, "The old men you know are of course still the same, but we young people are different..."

"We are young, proud and full of energy." He continued with a smile, "We can force them to make new choices."

"Force? How to force?" Shito really couldn't understand, he was already old.

"It's very simple." Tokiwa Sougo replied in a relaxed manner, "For example, we can publicize the existence of Amazon."

As soon as these words came out, Shito Shin's expression froze, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch violently.

"...Are you serious?" He asked, staring into Tokiwa Sougo's eyes.

"Of course!" Tokiwa Sougo replied without hesitation, "The people will push them to make the right choice."

"Aren't you afraid of causing social chaos?"

"It's better than being eaten without knowing anything, right?"

"..."

"..."

Shito Makoto and Tokiwa Sougo stared at each other.

He looked at the unshakable determination in Tokiwa Sougo's eyes and opened his mouth slightly...

——Have you ever thought that the people you expect in your heart will betray you in the face of reality?

Shito Makoto's eyes gradually became very complicated. He looked at Tokiwa Sougo as if he was looking at his former self.

But in the end, he kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything more.

He picked up the armband on the ground without saying a word, and turned away with the expulsion squad.

On the road.

  He turned around, glanced at the people in the expulsion squad in the carriage, closed his eyes, retracted his gaze, and said into the communicator:

"I need a brand new Amazon controller, and I also need to update a team member's basic information... Yes, I know the consequences, and you don't need to remind me.

“My team has not been reduced in number and I don’t need to replace any players.

“Give me something, and in exchange I will tell you a piece of information.

"Believe me, this information is important, both for you and your company."

Shito Makoto's voice echoed clearly in the car. No one spoke in the quiet car.

Even Xiao Shou, who had the nature of a child, became quiet because of the heavy atmosphere in the car.

……

Nozama Pharmaceutical Headquarters.

After listening to the report, Mizusawa Reika, the director of the special research department of the Amazon project and the direct leader of the expulsion team, looked very unhappy.

If what Shito Makoto said is true, then the direct intervention of the authorities will make her very passive.

Because if that happens, the authorities will most likely set up a formal "special agency for Amazon" and order Nozama Pharmaceutical to disband the expulsion team.

The next photo that her secretary Garner showed her made her stand up from behind her desk instantly, and she obviously lost her composure.

That was a photo that the Extermination Squad had just sent over of the self-proclaimed "official" Kamen Rider Zi-O.

As Shito Makoto reported, it was a young man.

The look is proud and unconcealed.

But when Mizusawa Reika looked over, her sight passed Tokiwa Sougo and looked towards the back door of the camper, where she saw two people who shouldn't be there. They were Mizusawa Yuu and Mizusawa Mitsuki.

  Her son and daughter!

……

Forest Park Campervan Site.

"Dingling bell~~"

The ringing of the phone made Mizusawa Mizuki very nervous.

From the caller ID, Mizusawa Mizuki knew that it was a call from her mother.

And now, she is running away from home with her brother.

  What should she do?

Mizusawa Mitsuki hesitated, and subconsciously looked at Tokiwa Sougo outside the car, seeking help from him.

Of course, Tokiwa Sougo has an obligation to do this.

He took the phone from Mizusawa Mizuki's hand, and the first thing he said was:

"Yes, Ms. Mizusawa, your son and daughter are now in my hands."

"???"

Mizusawa Mitsuki looked at Tokiwa Sougo in disbelief.

Is this how you reply for me?

  Are you a kidnapper?

This made Mizusawa Mitsuki unable to resist the urge to snatch the phone back from Tokiwa Sougo's hands immediately.

She glared at Tokiwa Sougo angrily.

But Tokiwa Sougo turned around and slapped Mizusawa Mitsuki on the back of his head.

"Okay, please don't be angry, Ms. Mizusawa, I was just joking."

Tokiwa Sougo continued with a smile.

"But the fact is that your son and daughter are with me right now.

"After learning the truth about the 'Amazon Project', they are all willing to stand up bravely and expose this cruel truth to innocent people... Yes, as long as You is here, I will never lack evidence to prove that Amazon does exist.

"We all know this, don't we?"

"..."

After a depressing silence, Mizusawa Reika asked through gritted teeth.

"What exactly is your purpose?"

Facing this question, Tokiwa Sougo maintained his usual smile and his tone was the same as before, neither hurried nor slow, and calm and unhurried.

"Haven't I already told you my purpose? Why, didn't the expulsion squad report it to you?"

"..." Mizusawa Reika.

Not getting a response, Tokiwa Sougo sighed and explained in a rather helpless tone: "Well, in that case, let me explain it more clearly... I have been following the progress of your work."

This is a lie.

It has only been one day since Tokiwa Sougo came to this world.

But that didn't stop him from speaking.

"A lot of people have already died, Ms. Mizusawa." Tokiwa Sougo criticized confidently, "You are acting too slowly."

The inhibitor in each Amazon controller is only enough for two years.

And now, it has been exactly two years since the "Amazon leak incident".

That is to say...

"Next, Amazon's awakening will enter an extremely active period. If there is no more professional and powerful 'anti-Amazon special agency', more people will inevitably die.

“That would gradually add up to a number that was impossible to hide.

“Again, that would be a number that we would totally unacceptable.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Looking at the problem from an official perspective...if the Amazon incident is bound to reach a point where it can no longer be concealed, then the officials of this world will definitely not help Nozama Pharmaceutical to cover up the truth. Instead, they will give it a severe blow, snatch some of the proceeds, and then put the blame firmly on its head.

This is an image of "official" that completely fits Mizusawa Reika's idea of ​​what she wants to be.

Therefore, this is also the "purpose of Tokiwa Sougo" that Mizusawa Reika can fully understand and accept.

She began to believe that Tokiwa Sougo was indeed an official.

Suspicion diminishes.

Therefore, in order to persuade Sougo Tokiwa not to make it public, or to postpone the release of Amazon to the public, and also to increase the safety of her son and daughter, Reika Mizusawa began to reveal some information to Sougo Tokiwa.

For example, she hasn’t done nothing in the past two years...

Now, Nozama Pharmaceutical has a special attack weapon that can destroy Amazon on a large scale without causing harm to the human body. It has entered the testing stage.

From the very beginning, she had never expected that the expulsion team alone would be able to expel all the wandering experimental subjects.

After all, that's really not a small number.
