Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1243 Nagano Hiroshi turns into light
Kasumigaoka Utaha took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calm and confident: "Hello, is this Yuanzi? You're calling so late at night. Is there something urgent?"

Machida Yuanzi's slightly teasing voice came from the other end of the phone: "What do you think, Kasumi Shiko? You should know that the deadline is approaching, right? I wonder how your progress is going?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu subconsciously glanced at the blank document on the computer screen, her heart was in a panic, but on the surface she still pretended to be calm: "Yuanzi, don't worry, I'm already writing it, but..."

"Really? Then why haven't I seen the original manuscript yet?" There was a barely perceptible seriousness in Machida Sonoko's tone.

Fine beads of sweat began to seep out of Kasumigaoka Shiyu's forehead. She hesitated and said, "Well... I'm still making final considerations on some key plots. I want to make sure that every detail can be perfectly presented to the readers. Don't worry, it will be finished soon."

Machida Yuanzi seemed to sense her nervousness and softened her tone: "I feel relieved to hear what you said, Teacher Kasumi Shiko. Since the progress has reached this level, I believe you will be able to submit the manuscript on time. It's already late now, so I won't disturb you. Have a good rest and keep working hard tomorrow!"

"Wait, about the submission..."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu wanted to say a few more words to explain her predicament, but before she could finish her words, the other party had hung up the phone, leaving only the "beep" busy tone echoing in the air.

Her hand holding the phone dropped weakly, and her eyes gradually lost focus.

"Buzzing."

A blue and gold stag beetle-shaped autonomous machine flew up beside her.

"Gatack Zecter, you are already a mature artificial intelligence, you must learn to help me write!"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu seemed to have grasped the last straw, with anticipation gleaming in her eyes.

However, Gatack Zecter just shook its mechanical body gently and emitted an electronic synthesized sound, indicating that it did not have the ability to create text directly.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu smiled bitterly, feeling a sense of powerlessness in her heart.

Yes, even advanced artificial intelligence has its limitations. She once imagined how great it would be if she had a perfect assistant who could help her solve all the creative problems.

But reality is always more cruel than dreams, and you still have to rely on yourself to walk the road of creation.

Just as she was about to give up this unrealistic idea, a bold idea suddenly flashed through her mind.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu grabbed Gatack Zecter fiercely, with an unprecedented light flashing in her eyes: "henshin!"

With a command, she merged with Gatack Zecter and instantly transformed into Kamen Rider Gatack.

After the transformation, Kasumigaoka Utaha's speed was beyond ordinary people's imagination, as if time had slowed down around her.

She sat in front of the computer, her fingers jumping on the keyboard. Every tap was accompanied by lightning speed. The words in the document grew rapidly as if driven by magic.

However, this extraordinary speed soon encountered a bottleneck - the computer's feedback speed and the keyboard's tolerance became limitations.

As a Kamen Rider, Kasumigaoka Utaha's punching and kicking power are measured in tons. Even the sturdiest keyboard seems fragile under such power.

She had to control her strength carefully to avoid damaging the device. Even so, the speed at which the keys bounced back was still far behind her inner rhythm.

"You turned into a Kamen Rider to finish your manuscript. You are such a talent."

Luther complained after seeing this scene.

It's so cool. I can only say that it's worthy of Kasumigaoka Utaha to invent a use that no other Kamen Rider has.

Of course, this was also related to Kasumigaoka Utaha's inspiration, she just lacked speed. In this way, Kasumigaoka Utaha only took an hour to finish the manuscript and sent it to Machida Wanzi.

Machida Wanko was also surprised that Kasumigaoka Utaha was able to submit the manuscript on time, or even ahead of schedule.

"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Xia Shizi. I will review and revise the manuscript next."

Machida Wanzi said.

For editors in the island country, it is not as simple as just publishing the manuscript after receiving it. They have to review and revise the manuscript before publishing it.

And Kasumigaoka Utaha is exhausted. Don’t think that you won’t be tired just because you become a Kamen Rider. The physical energy consumed is still quite great.

However, the Kamen Rider belts in the Kamen Rider Kabuto series all have life support systems. Kagami Arata died once and was saved by the belt. Even if he suffered serious injuries such as penetrating wounds, he could restore his ability to move through transformation.

So it can maintain a minimum level of survival.

Luther plans to do something new.

Hiroshi Nagano is cooking at home. He has recently become fascinated with cooking and is learning how to make delicious food from recipes.

Then when he turned around, he was startled because a woman in white clothes was standing in front of him.

"Ms. Iruma?"

Nagano Hiroshi thought it was Iruma Emi, but it turned out that this woman looked wrong because she was too white.

Nagano Hiroshi stood there with mixed feelings. The scene before him was so absurd and bizarre that he found it hard to believe that this was reality.

He tilted his head slightly, trying to find a hint of joking on the woman's face, but her hollow and deep eyes revealed an unquestionable seriousness.

There was an unusual atmosphere in the room; even the sound of the soup boiling in the kitchen seemed distant and blurry.

"There is only one way to save humanity, and that is for Nagano Hiroshi to turn into light!"

The woman spoke.

Nagano Hiroshi was bewildered.

"Ms. Ruma, which variety show did you learn this from? You've gone a little too far this time, barging right into my house."

He tried to lighten the atmosphere with a smile, but behind that smile was a wariness and confusion that was difficult to conceal.

Nagano Hiroshi knew that even if it was for the effect of the show, such behavior was far beyond the normal limits. What's more, the "Iruma Emi" in front of him was very different from what he remembered. The cold breath that did not belong to the human world made him feel unprecedentedly uneasy.

However, Nagano Hiroshi is not so easily fooled, mainly because idol stars like them are well aware of the spoofs in variety shows.

The woman ignored his teasing and continued in an unquestionable tone: "Golzan, the monster that shakes the earth, and Melba, the monster that breaks the sky, have both appeared. The earth is facing an unprecedented crisis, and you, Nagano Hiroshi, are the chosen successor of light. Only you can stop this disaster."

Nagano Hiroshi was speechless. Is Iruma Emi so persistent?
