Kamen Rider Evolution

Jiang Xia gently opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the drawn curtains.

Although the curtains were drawn, a small beam of light shone through the gap in the center of the curtains, preventing the room from being completely dark.

He sat up from the bed, and there seemed to be a lingering fragrance around him.

The room has become clean and tidy. The clothes thrown on the carpet have been swept away, the white porcelain tableware on the dining table is neatly placed in the cupboard, and the whole room has been cleaned again.

"Lord Jiang Xia, it's time to get up." Izzy pushed the door open, a faint smile on her face, and a pair of clean clothes in her hands.

She spread out the ironed clothes without a single wrinkle, and Jiang Xia happily opened his arms and let Izzy play with his body.

However, while getting dressed, Jiang Xia looked at Izzy who was getting closer and closer and was very serious, and his interest was also piqued.

Jiang Xia began to make trouble in various ways, trying to delay time. In the end, Izzy hit him a few times in annoyance, as if he was taking care of a disobedient child.

The saying that men remain boys until they die is absolutely true. Sometimes, these seemingly grown-up men are actually just children in their hearts, and they are very naive.

If it had happened before, Jiang Xia would not have made trouble at all, and Izzy would not have shown any anger or helplessness at all. It was what she should do no matter what.

But now the way of getting along has changed at this time. This is not a special situation, but an external proof that the relationship has taken a step further.
After breaking the intimate distance, the actions that have been thought about in the mind but cannot be carried out will be exposed, and they will become unscrupulous.

It only takes a small opportunity for a relationship to progress.

Finally I put my clothes back on...

"You're up." Sonoda Mari saw Jiang Xia and Izzy walking on the gravel road, and quickly ran over and waved.

However, after getting closer, Sonoda Mari looked at the two of them in confusion. It was only one night, so why did the atmosphere between the two people seem to have changed strangely?

However, after careful observation, she did not find anything strange, so she put her doubts behind her.

"Come on, since you've just arrived, I'll take you around the market here."

As Sonoda Mari spoke, she held a stack of yellow flyers in her arms.

In her hand was a flyer about a masquerade ball. It was called a flyer, but in fact it was just a simple printout of two black shadow patterns with the location and time marked on it, and nothing else. The market was the best place to distribute the flyers.

The market here is just a few shabby sheds. They set up their stalls on the roadside and hawk their wares.

Because it is Orphion that rules the world, the currency circulating here also belongs to Orphion.

Not only is humanity on the verge of extinction, but even survival is largely dependent on Ophino.

Even if the Ophino of this world does not kill all humans, humans will not be able to survive for long.

Because Jiang Xia saw a very old man at the market.

These elderly people account for a considerable proportion of the total population, and the sanitary conditions here are worrying.

It is difficult for babies born here to survive in such an environment.

As long as Orphino builds a city wall with this place as the center, he can lock humans here.

In the future, humans may become protected animals, and that is if Orphinoth does not take any action.

If things really get serious, people in this market might not be able to survive even a day.

The rumors about human resistance and saviors were all deliberately created to use humans as a target to attract attention.

As for why they did this, it was purely because Ophieno's predecessor was a human being, and many of the awakened Ophienos tended to be human.

They are the real rebels. Once humans are completely extinct, these people will raise the banner of resistance.

At that time, it would be a civil war between races, and the war between humans would be repeated on Ophino.

Ophino is the evolution of humans, in other words, they are also human beings.

Even without humans, the world will never have true peace, so it is better to maintain the status quo.

These reported human numbers are only used to attract targets who are biased towards the human Ophino.

Of course, only a few people can realize this. Most people here hold a grudge against Ophino so much that they cannot distinguish right from wrong.

Because not everyone can pull themselves out of a bad situation and see the truth.

Lacking information, they can only be locked here, unable to change their living environment.

"Why don't you sell it? It's not like we won't pay." A young man wearing a hat and a white shirt with a pattern on the collar was arguing with an old woman who wrapped herself tightly.

The old woman looked at him, and then looked at his companions, and said, "You three should be Ophieno. I will not do business with Ophieno."

There were two men and one woman. Except for the one who looked a bit like a scoundrel due to his hat, the other two looked normal.

A young man wearing a white shirt and with a gentle face.

The girl had long, soft, straight hair and was wearing a pink dress. She was very beautiful and had a bamboo hanging basket on her shoulders.

"That's right, we only do business with humans." When the merchants heard these words from Orphino, they all gathered around and shouted at the three men.

"Get out of here! You, Orphino, have killed so many people. You are not qualified to enter here." An old man in his sixties pushed the man in the hat with trembling hands.

It's been very difficult for them to get to this point, they just don't sell anything.

They also knew that the three people in front of them were good people, so after knowing that they were Ophio, they did not run away or take out their weapons, but simply drove them away.

“What did you say?” The young man in the hat seemed to be enraged. Mottled gray animal-like patterns began to appear on his face, like a ferocious beast that wanted to eat people.

"you you you!"

The vendors around here took a few steps back in fear when they saw the pattern.

Even though they knew that the three Ophiinos in front of them were on the side of humans, they were still afraid.

"Stop, Haitang." The young man in white stopped his companion.

"Yeah, let's listen to Kiba," the girl also said.

"Kiba, Yuka, aren't you guys too good-tempered?" Haitang looked at her companions and helplessly stopped her actions, and the lines on her face gradually disappeared.

He didn't really mean anything. He just wanted to scare these guys who weren't selling anything. Who asked them to discriminate against him?

However, with such a commotion, they definitely wouldn't be able to buy anything, so they could only give up the idea of ​​shopping here and continue walking forward.

As the three people walked towards the human gathering place, a blue butterfly quietly landed on the old woman's stall and then flew in the direction they were leaving.

The wings of this butterfly emit a faint fluorescent light while it flies, which is very beautiful.

But no one in the market noticed it. They continued to sell their goods, completely ignoring the blue butterfly that didn't fit in with the gray market. "Muba, Haitang, Jiehua." Excited shouts came from a distance. The three people who were just discussing the discrimination against Orphino showed surprised expressions when they heard the shouts.

They could tell who was calling them.

"Mari!" Yuka waved happily at Sonoda Mari who was running towards her in the distance, "Long time no see!"

Kiba Yuji and Kaitang Naoya turned around and faced Sonoda Mari, with smiles on their faces.

"Wait, who are those two people?"

Although Kiba was very happy to meet Mari, he saw a strange man behind Sonoda Mari, who did not seem to be human from the outside.

If not human, then we can only be of the same species as them.

Is it possible that apart from them, there is also Orphino who is willing to get close to humans? It seems that he has a very special relationship with the truth.

"Did you feel it?" Kiba leaned slightly to the side and whispered.

"Yeah, this feeling seems to be of the same kind." Haitang Naoya also put away his cynical expression and said seriously: "But I can't feel the girl next to him."

"Kiba Yuuji, Kaitou Naoya, Nagata Yuka."

Jiang Xia, who was following behind Sonoda Mari, glanced at them lightly, and everything that had happened to these three people in the past twenty years flashed quickly through his mind.

There are three Orphinos, two of which are native species.

The gentle and elegant looking men in white shirts are Yuji Kiba and Ophio Magata.

The taller ones wearing the hat backwards are Naoya Haitang and Ophino the snake.

The ones with long black hair and wearing pink skirts are Nagata Yuka and Tsurugata Ophino.

They had known Inui Takumi and Sonoda Mari for a long time, and they were very good friends.

"Zhen Li, who are these two?" Jiehua was shocked by Jiang Xia's appearance when he approached. She had never seen such a good-looking person.

"Hello, Jiang Xia." He stretched out his hand.

"Izzy." Izzy nodded slightly. When there are outsiders around, a maid is just a maid.

"My name is Nagata Yuka, you can just call me Yuka, please give me your guidance." Nagata Yuka held Jiang Xia's hand and said, "Their names are Naoya Kaitang and Yuji Kiba."

After a few people nodded to each other, they knew each other.

"Mari, we are here to inform you of the news." Kiba Yuji stared at Sonoda Mari's face and said seriously.

Before Zhenli could speak, Jiang Xia suddenly said, "Zhenli, go greet your friends first. Izzy and I decided to go shopping on our own."

Mari Sonoda turned her head and looked at her friend again at Jiang Xia and Izzy. Maybe it was because of the addition of a new friend that both parties would become uncomfortable, but Jiang Xia should not be the kind of person who chooses to escape because of such a situation.

Although she was full of doubts, she didn't ask any more questions in the end. She nodded and chose to leave the market with Muba and others.

The two groups separated at the end of the market.

Not long after they separated, the blue butterfly floated down. It turned its head, stopped for a moment, and finally chose to fly towards one of the places.

The place chosen by Blue Butterfly was the base camp of the human gathering place, which was the direction that Mari Sonoda led Yuji Kiba and others to leave.

"Lord Jiang Xia, what is that butterfly?" Izzy asked softly behind Jiang Xia.

She realized that this was obviously not a natural butterfly, but a mechanical creation.

This butterfly will upload what it sees via the Internet and can move freely. In other words, it is a living monitor.

If this butterfly was sent by Orphino and followed Kiba Yuji and his companions all the way, then the location of the human gathering point would have been exposed long ago, and Orphino's attack force might have been on the way forward.

"This butterfly belongs to Smart Brain Company, but it has no interest in human gathering places. Its main purpose is to monitor Kiba Yuji." Jiang Xia explained, "Because Kiba is a native species, he has great strength and can switch his form. He is a very good Ophio. It is because of this that they are targeted by the company, and his companions are also involved."

This is normal, the native species is stronger than the average Ophi, and Kiba Yuji's combat power is also ranked among the top among the native Ophi, and only such an Ophi Enoch can withstand the consumption of the Emperor's Belt.

"It looks like Orphino's army is on the way, but this is indeed a good opportunity to quickly transfer humans." Jiang Xia looked up into the distance, "We have to hurry and get the hidden things."

The humans in the film world did not gather together, but were scattered in all directions, so it was difficult to distinguish them. But now the only remaining humans in this world are here, so it is much easier to transfer.

"Then let me lead the way, Lord Jiang Xia." Izzy suddenly smiled playfully, and the slender and soft hair on her forehead swayed in front of Jiang Xia, constantly covering her bright eyes.

There's no need to maintain that serious and solemn appearance when no one is around.

She knew what Jiang Xia was going to take, and the data collection was completed.

"Then please lead the way, maid." Jiang Xia leaned over and stroked Izzy's forehead as if he was touching a cat.

In a blink of an eye, Izzy took Jiang Xia into an amusement park surrounded by barbed wire, where there were carousels, roller coasters, seesaws for children, and a Ferris wheel.

If it weren't for the current situation, if the girl brought the boy here, it would definitely be a date.

But now is not the time for a date, and this is not a suitable place for a date.

The carousel here looked like it had been hit by something, with cracks all over its smooth back and the grayish-white padding exposed to the air.

The steel frame of the roller coaster was covered with rust, and the rail seemed to have been cut in the middle by something, and the cross-section was very flat.

The Ferris wheel also stopped in mid-air, and the cabins hanging on it were covered with signs of cracks, like fruits hanging on a tree, which could fall down at any time.

This is an abandoned amusement park, and coincidentally, this is also the location indicated by the flyers about the masquerade ball distributed by Mari Sonoda.

Izmay stepped on her high heels and led the way ahead. Her straight and slender legs stepped on the steps of the Ferris wheel, and her high heels made crisp clicking sounds as she moved.

She walked to a corner under the Ferris wheel, which was filled with a mess of cardboard boxes and some wood used to make bonfires.

These are what Mari Sonoda prepared for the masquerade ball that evening.

Izzy squatted down and moved the cartons and wood on top one by one and placed them neatly on the ground next to him.

As the debris covering it disappeared, the things hidden by Mari Sonoda finally saw the light of day.

It was an iron box with Smart Brain printed on it.

Izzy picked up the iron box and opened it. Inside was a metal belt and next to it was a flip phone with a red logo on it.

It's Faiz's belts and accessories.

After being defeated by Smart Brain's mass-produced soldiers, Qian Qiao did not take the belt away, but only captured Qian Qiao himself.

Faiz's belt was hidden here by Sonoda Mari who witnessed everything. (End of this chapter)
