Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1221 The First Step to Change the World

Nakano Ichika looked at the Kamen Rider in front of him, and the other party had canceled his transformation.

Ichika Nakano thought the outfit was very strange and absurd just now, but now she doesn't think so anymore.

Luther's appearance is completely different from the fictional characters that Ichika Nakano has seen in special effects dramas or on the Internet before. There is an indescribable sense of reality in his handsomeness, as if he is a brave man who has traveled from another dimension and inadvertently stepped into her world.

The uneasiness in Nakano Ichika's heart gradually subsided, and was replaced by an inexplicable sense of security.

She had heard of Kamen Rider, but didn't know much about it. She didn't have any particular liking for special effects dramas, and she didn't even know why Kamen Rider was so popular.

But after seeing the real Kamen Rider transform in reality today, she finally understood that men who can transform are really handsome!

Nakano Ichika's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. This feeling was both strange and familiar, just like the first time she met the person she loved during her youth.

But she quickly realized that now was not the time to dwell on that emotion.

Her knee ached slightly, reminding her of the danger she had just experienced.

"Thank you for saving me."

Nakano Ichika's voice trembled slightly, and her gratitude was evident in her words.

She looked down at her knees, which were scraped from the fall and bleeding. The pain made her frown.

However, compared to the physical pain, she was more concerned about the strange and mysterious man in front of her.

Luther glanced at her wound lightly, "Well, do I need to take you to the hospital?"

Nakano Ichika originally wanted to refuse. After all, she didn't want to trouble others because of such a minor injury, especially someone who had just saved her and whose identity was so mysterious.

But when she thought of the terrifying appearance of the monster just now and how it appeared so suddenly, she couldn't help but feel an unprecedented fear of the world around her. So she changed her mind.

"Is this okay?"

She asked tentatively, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

"It's ok."

Luther shook his head.

Moreover, Ichika Naka only suffered minor injuries, so there was no need to call an ambulance, but the police should definitely be called, after all, someone was dead.

When it comes to calling the police, Nakano Ichika's expression changed slightly.

Only then did she realize that the battle just now was not an illusion, and the death of that monster and the president were all real.

An indescribable complex emotion spread in her heart, a mixture of gratitude for having escaped the disaster and fear and curiosity about the unknown world.

"Excuse me, sir, what is your name?"

Nakano Ichika couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart.

She wanted to know who this man was, who was neither Yusuke Godai nor Yusuke Onodera, and why he became a Kamen Rider.

"Luther."

Luther said simply and clearly.

"Luther? Mr. Luther is not a native of this country?"

Ichika Nakano was stunned when she heard the name. In her understanding, characters like Kamen Rider are usually symbols of local culture. She never expected that a foreign friend would become her savior, and in the identity of Kamen Rider.

"Ah."

Luther was very concise and didn't explain too much. His silence made Nakano Ichika even more curious, but she could also feel the mystery and indescribable power in him.

She guessed that Luther might have an unknown background and story, and these might be the reasons why he chose to remain silent.

"What should I say if the police come?"

Nakano Ichika spoke again, trying to get some guidance from Luther. She didn't want to cause trouble for Luther because of her careless words.

After all, in this world, it is not easy to meet someone who is willing to lend a helping hand.

Luther paused for a moment.

"Just tell the police the truth. There have been more and more cases of these monsters attacking people recently, so it's good for them to be prepared."

His words revealed a maturity and sense of responsibility beyond his age, which made Nakano Ichika look at him with admiration.

After hearing Luther's words, Nakano Ichika's impression of him changed again.

She originally thought that a hero like Kamen Rider should be alone, but Luther's attitude made her see a more real and humane image of a hero.

He is willing to face reality, share information with others and fight against evil together. This spirit makes Nakano Ichika sincerely admire him.

"I understand. I won't reveal your identity, Mr. Luther."

Nakano Ichika nodded solemnly, having made up her mind.

At that time, she told the police that a mysterious Kamen Rider saved her and then disappeared mysteriously.

This would protect Luther's identity.

Luther took Nakano Ichika to the hospital, and on the way Nakano Ichika called the police.

So, Nakano Ichika quickly saw the police and her father, but Nino, Miku, Yotsuba, and Satsuki were still sleeping.

Luther did not continue to accompany Ichika Nakano. He sent her to the hospital and left.

When faced with the police's questioning, Ichika Nakano truthfully confessed everything that had happened to her, and the police almost thought it was just a girl's imagination, or a mental illness.

Having said this, Nakano Ichika's face had turned as pale as paper, and her hands unconsciously increased the strength, as if this could alleviate the fear in her heart.

Policeman A stopped writing and exchanged a complicated look with Policeman B.

Stories like this sound more like the plot of a horror movie than something that happens in real life.

"Ms. Nakano, I understand your fear, but please understand our job. What we need is solid evidence, not..."

However, after hearing that someone had died, the police took it very seriously and went to the parking lot to check.

Then I really found something wrong.

Especially the deceased, whose head was split in half by a neat cut. The cut was smooth, with almost no trace of blood or flesh, as if it had been cut by some sophisticated mechanical device.

But what is even more disturbing is that the surrounding walls also have similar marks of cuts left by sharp blades. The heights and angles are extremely strange and completely beyond the scope of what humans can do.

Based on the angle, direction and depth of the mark, we can preliminarily rule out the possibility of human involvement. Even if one were operating a machine, it would be impossible to achieve such a smooth, clean and neat knife mark.

More importantly, they found decisive evidence: the "monster" was captured on surveillance video in the parking lot.

Looking at the monster swinging the more than two-meter-long tentacles on its head with sharp blades connected to them, the video was seriously distorted, or in other words, the frames were dropped because the monster swung the blades too fast!
