Kamen Rider Evolution

"Lord Jiang Xia, I found the treasure you want." Izzy handed over the black suitcase in his hand.

Opening the suitcase, the black foam board was revealed, and in the grooves of the foam board were the Faiz belt and accessories.

In addition to the transformable mobile phone and the belt body, there is also a black chronograph watch.

Faiz is the most stable belt with the lowest consumption, but also the weakest combat power. In order to make up for the lack of combat power, a lot of additional accessories are added when manufacturing the belt.

This black chronograph watch is one of the accessories and is also the key to unlock Faiz's accelerated form.

Jiang Xia looked at the belt and accessories inside and gently stroked them with his hand. Countless data and design drawings flashed through his mind.

As long as the drive is made using a certain technology, there is basically no secret about it to him.

He doesn't even need the help of a panel to copy the knight's belt's ability. Having evolved to this point, he can copy most of the knight's belts and powers by himself. After all, with data and technical support, it is not difficult to manufacture.

In just a short period of time, he had understood the Faiz belt's ultimate performance and combat methods. Although he had never used it before, his proficiency in it had almost reached maximum. He even had an idea of ​​how to increase the power of the Faiz belt.

"Would you like to try it out?" Izzy tilted her head and blinked her blue eyes. She thought he came here to find a toy, but after finding it, he didn't want to play with it. Why?
"There will be a chance. In fact, I've wanted to try this thing out for a long time. It's definitely very cool." Jiang Xia picked up Faiz's belt and fiddled with it for a few times, then put it back in the box. He closed the box and threw it to Izzy. "Let's go. Let's find someone who is suitable to use this belt. He's not far away, and we should be able to find him soon."

"I understand." Izzy carried the metal box and followed Jiang Xia, moving in small steps out of the abandoned amusement park.

Apart from Jiang Xia himself, the only person who is most suitable for this belt is Qian Qiao, who has used this belt in long battles.

Qian Qiao just disappeared, he didn't die. According to the information Jiang Xia found out, not only is he not dead, he is still alive and well. Now is the time to return the Faiz belt hidden here to its original owner.

Ten minutes later, a courtyard hut appeared not far from the abandoned amusement park, surrounded by wood.

Under the eaves, there were quite a few shoes hanging on a stretched rope.

However, these shoes are obviously not for the family to wear. They are probably for sale because there are not only a large number of shoes hanging, but also of different styles.

Unless this cabin is filled with a dozen completely different people, there is simply no other possibility.

Outside the courtyard, a young girl with black hair was sitting in the courtyard. She was holding a needle and thread in her hand, mending a pair of brown leather shoes in front of her that had a hole in it.

At this moment, the shadows in the sunlight in the distance caught her attention. She slowly raised her head and looked at the man and woman walking towards her from a distance. A hint of doubt flashed across her slightly childish face.

Her name is Mina, and she makes and sells shoes for a living.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Mina asked.

She was sure that these two people were definitely not here to buy shoes or have their shoes repaired.

The guest in front of me was wearing high-end custom-made handmade fabrics and shoes of very good quality.

Although she couldn't tell what brand it was, she estimated that the price of a pair of shoes like this was almost the same as the total money she made from selling the shoes she had made. There was no need for a customer dressed like this to come here to repair his shoes.

It couldn’t be Ophino, Mina looked at the two people in front of her with a vigilant look.

It's really hard not to arouse suspicion about this couple. Just looking at the man's clothes, there's a big problem. He's wearing a long white trench coat, and he has a noble and gentle temperament, without anything extra on his body.

The pretty girl next to her should be a secretary or something, and the clothes she was wearing looked like a uniform. But even if it was a uniform she was wearing, unfortunately, judging from the fabric alone, she couldn't afford it.

Jiang Xia looked at the alert girl Mina in front of him and asked softly, "I'm here to look for someone named Qian Qiao. He's quite handsome and tall. His most obvious feature is his cat tongue. He can't drink hot things. Have you seen him?"

"No, there is no such person! You guys should go quickly, I still have shoes to mend." Mina, who was originally just cautious, stood up excitedly and spoke loudly after hearing Jiang Xia's question, like a kitten whose fur stood up due to some stress response.

Jiang Xia touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "It seems that Qian Qiao is indeed here, and judging from your intense reaction, you don't want outsiders to contact Qian Qiao, or in other words, you can't let him know that someone is looking for him, because once he contacts the outside world, some accidents will happen."

“You you you…” Mina opened her mouth slightly, her expression tense, and even her words became intermittent.

"Logically speaking, if Qian Qiao is really here, he should go home instead of staying here all the time. So I think there must be some special reason that makes him stay here, and this reason is related to you. What is the reason? It's really hard to guess." Jiang Xia suddenly showed a very annoying smile.

"Amnesia, or memory tampered with?"

"Who are you?" Mina suddenly felt extremely scared. Although the boy in front of her smiled as clean and warm as the sun, her blood vessels seemed to be filled with ice and her whole body felt cold. Her heart sank silently.

Because what this handsome boy said was true, Qian Qiao was really here, and he had indeed lost his memory.

"Okay, I won't scare you anymore." Jiang Xia spread his hands. He didn't want to scare the girl, and the girl didn't have any bad intentions.

"What you're worried about won't happen. Even if Qian Qiao really recovers his memory, he won't hate you because of what your father did. You've lived with him for so long, don't you understand his personality?"

After hearing Jiang Xia's words, Mina was silent for a few minutes. Although she didn't know who the person in front of her was, his words temporarily eased her extremely uneasy expression. She slowly raised her head and asked, "Are you Long... Bu Aqiao's friends?"

Long is the name her father gave to the amnesiac Qian Qiao. Qian Qiao just fell into a state of temporary amnesia due to a blow to her brain. She may recover at any time and it is impossible for her to stay here forever.

So Mina's father came up with an idea. He implanted a false memory into Qian Qiao, making him become another person, Long.

As for why he did this, it was because Mina's father was dying. After picking up Qian Qiao, he wanted his daughter to survive in this almost desperate environment for humans, so he asked a doctor friend he knew to implant false memories in Qian Qiao, so that Qian Qiao would protect Mina.

Qian Qiao has been surviving here under the name Long for such a long time, and her father has passed away. She originally thought that no one would know this secret, but now it has been revealed.

"I guess so." Jiang Xia nodded.

Mina hesitated for a long time. Finally, she pursed her lips, turned her head and shouted to the house behind her: "Long, someone is looking for you."

This also means that she chose to give up the protection her father left her in this world and chose to reveal the truth.

This also means that Long will turn back into the former savior Qian Qiao. Qian Qiao, who is known as the savior, will not choose to stay here and live an ordinary life with her selling shoes and repairing shoes, and living a life of men farming and women weaving.

So it seemed like just a gentle cry, but it represented that the girl in front of him had almost given up everything for the rest of her life.

Although the truth has been known to others, she chose to bury the past by herself and let the Long who only existed in her memory disappear. In fact, Mina knew that one day Long might recover his memory and leave her, but she didn't expect that day to come so soon.

Every time she heard Long mention the name of the savior, she felt sad, because it was not just a rumor, but the truth.

Sometimes she thought that Long should go fight, to confront those Orphinos and save humanity, instead of staying here, mending shoes day after day.

Now her wish has come true, but she is so sad. She can even hear Long's footsteps as he leaves and see his back gradually going away.

"Don't worry, you made the right choice. You are such a good girl!" Jiang Xia gently patted the girl's eyes as tears welled up in her eyes and said softly, "Good girls will be rewarded."

Izzy, who was standing by, also took out a white and soft tissue and handed it to Mina to prevent her from covering her face and crying.

In fact, Izzy would also have the emotion of crying, but she never cried because what she wanted was right beside her, so she never encountered sad things that could only make her cry.

But the Mina in front of him looked sad, but also relaxed, which was indeed quite strange.

"Hey! Who are you? Why are you bullying Mina?" Qian Qiao walked down the stairs and looked at Mina who was sitting on the ground sobbing, then rushed to Jiang Xia and questioned him.

"No, I didn't bully her." Jiang Xia looked at the young man with a tough face and long chestnut hair standing in front of him and smiled, "I came to see you, Qian Qiao."

He is now in his twenties at most and is still a handsome young man.

"Qian Qiao? I seem to have heard this name somewhere?" He looked a little dazed after hearing this name.

After many years, he finally heard the name that originally belonged to him from someone else's mouth. Fragments of memory floated up from the bottom of his heart like bubbles, and then exploded under the sunlight.

When his memory was awakened again, he finally remembered his identity. He remembered how he was besieged by hundreds of Leo cavalrymen, how he was dragged away, and how he was forced to separate from the crying Zhenli.

He still remembered the last time Zhenli looked at him, his eyes were filled with sadness, reluctance and fear.

"It turns out so much time has passed..." Qian Qiao gently held his own hand.

There are two completely different memories in his mind, one is of Ryu who lived an ordinary life with Mina, and the other is of Kensho who fought as a savior to protect humanity.

"Have you remembered?" Jiang Xia said as he looked at Qian Qiao's expression changing and his eyes becoming sharp again.

"Yes." Qian Qiao nodded to Jiang Xia, "Please wait for me for a moment."

Then, he squatted down gently and said softly to the crying girl sitting on the ground: "Mina, I have something I must do now, so..."

"Long, your memory was implanted by my father. I'm sorry..." Mina interrupted Qian Qiao's next words and looked at him seriously. She already understood what he wanted to say. Long would never come back here again.

After regaining my memory, everything seemed to have changed, yet it seemed as if nothing had changed.

He seemed to be the same Long, but his eyes no longer had that childish look. Instead, they became more mature, as if he had grown a few years older and turned into a warrior who grew up in the flames of war.

This is of course true. In this era filled with escape, everyone will experience the baptism of war and grow up. However, the implanted memories are not real experiences after all, and will be incomplete.

"I know. I won't blame you." Qian Qiao said to Mina seriously, "Take good care of yourself before I come back."

"Huh?" Mina exclaimed.

"What's wrong? You are also my good friend. I have been grateful for your care during this period. Don't worry." Qian Qiao said.

Hearing this, Mina stopped crying instantly. She was glad that he was willing to come back and that no one hated her because of this.

It turned out that what he said was true. Aqiao would not hate her for making up memories.

She turned her head to look at Jiang Xia who was standing at the door. She thought that Aqiao and he must be very good friends, both of them were very gentle people.

"I'm leaving, Mina." Qian Qiao waved goodbye to Mina, who had adjusted her mood.

"Wait, I have something for you."

Mina suddenly remembered something and rushed into the house, pulling out a metal part similar to a suitcase from the backpack hanging on the wooden shelf.

What makes it different from a suitcase is that it has a handle in the middle that you can reach into, and its shape is exactly the same as Faiz's transformation logo.

"What is this?" Qian Qiao took it doubtfully and looked at the metal suitcase in his hand.

"This thing is called the Blaster, and it's Faiz's upgraded equipment. Just input the transformation password again while transforming into Faiz." Jiang Xia touched it lightly with his hand, turned his head and said to Qian Qiao.

This is Faiz's strongest upgrade equipment, which can transform into Faiz Burst Form, and has great power to kill the King of Orphino. It is considered a very strong final form of the knight.

"This is something I found next to you when I picked you up. Now it should be returned to its original owner," said Mina.

"Okay, I understand." Qian Qiao nodded.

At this time, strong winds were whistling across the sky, and the strong winds were rustling. The cold wind blew over, and a special atmosphere filled the air.

Qian Qiao sniffed and realized that something was wrong. The gentle expression on his face instantly turned serious.

He knew what was happening and where his strength was needed.

"It seems that Orphino's troops have arrived. Time is running out." Jiang Xia looked into the distance. Diffuse black smoke rose from the ground, and the burning flames made crackling sounds. "Izzy, are the things I want ready?"

"Zeya is in place." Izzy said calmly, not affected by the aura at all.

After understanding what was going on, Qian Qiao ran straight towards the place where the black smoke was rising. From behind, he looked like a lone wolf hunting. (End of this chapter)
