Tokusatsu: Me, the Police God in the Kamen Rider World

Shotaro slumped to the ground, a sharp pain shooting through his heart.

She was his childhood friend, but there was nothing he could do but watch helplessly as she was beaten down.

His eyes were red and burning, but he held back his tears; after all, he was a man who had to be tough.

He just stared tremblingly at the figure that slowly emerged from the center of the explosion.

Amidst the flying metal fragments, a disheveled woman lay on the ground, covered in injuries.

Immediately afterwards, a memory chip crackling with electricity floated out of her body, as if it had malfunctioned.

It exploded with a "crack." Marina was already completely unconscious; this berserk attack...

This could cause significant harm to her health, and it's uncertain whether she will be able to live a normal life in the future.

At that moment, the system's voice rang in Minato's mind:

"Congratulations, host, for defeating the Tyrannosaurus Rex hybrid and gaining 800 sign-in points."

"Ding, this case mission is complete. You have earned 1000 sign-in points and received a T2 memory chip, Heat."

Minato calmly put the memory that suddenly appeared in his palm into his pocket and deactivated the transformation.

The wind swept away the debris on the ground, revealing his handsome, smiling face.

He walked briskly toward the unconscious Marina, squatted down and glanced at her.

Shotaro also came over, and after confirming that Marina was only unconscious, he breathed a sigh of relief, his voice so soft it was almost inaudible:

"Maria, how could you become like this?" He simply couldn't accept it.

That once innocent girl has become like this, her eyes filled with sadness.

Minato stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke in a relaxed tone that contained a hint of truth:

"Human nature is like that; it's precisely because it's elusive that it's interesting. If you truly see through everything, you'll only drift further and further away from ordinary people."

Shotaro nodded thoughtfully, and Minato added:

"Don't overthink it, being happy is the most important thing."

Shotaro Hidari was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up at him, his tone serious:

"Speaking of which, where did you get the driver and memory you have?"

"That look in his eyes was as if he could see right through Minato."

Minato raised an eyebrow and smiled mysteriously: "That's a secret~"

"Tch..." Shotaro scoffed, but he was at a loss for words.

He couldn't beat Watergate, and he didn't want to be charged with assaulting a police officer.

But it doesn't matter, he has Philip, his partner who can find all the information from the Earth Library.

As long as Philip is notified, the secret of Watergate will be revealed sooner or later.

Thinking this, a smug smile crept onto his lips: "Minato, you wait and see, I'll definitely find out your secret!"

After the Winskel case concluded, Watergate made a significant contribution by solving the case on his own.

But he was, after all, a new patrol officer who had just joined the force. His achievements were temporarily suppressed, and he would have to work at the police station for a while longer before he could be promoted and receive a raise.

The two perpetrators in the case, Yosuke Togawa, has already been murdered, while Marina has become a vegetable due to the severe effects of the poison.

Perhaps, this is a kind of relief for her.

Eight days passed in the blink of an eye. Minato's days were simple yet fulfilling. Besides daily training, he would sign in every day to receive rewards.

After eight check-ins, he obtained the T2 stage Luna (Moon Goddess) memory, along with some other miscellaneous items.

For example, my physical fitness improved; I felt a warm current flowing through my body, but my strength was noticeably greater.

The experience bonuses from marksmanship and swordsmanship further refined his skills. In total, he accumulated 5300 sign-in points, a decent reward.

That day, Minato walked into the police station as usual, but sensed that something was wrong.

A group of idle policemen gathered around a radio, from which came a sweet female voice that softened their hearts.

Minato leaned closer to take a look, then scratched his head: "What's this?"

A policeman turned around, saw him, and explained with a smile, "Ah, Minato-kun!"

This is Princess Wakana's radio program, didn't you know? She's the most popular radio host!

Minato blinked and nodded: "Oh~ Sonozaki Wakana, I know her, the little girl from the Sonozaki family. I made a special note of her before, so I wouldn't get confused."

He knew in his heart that this girl was the youngest daughter of the city's underground king and the most crucial link in the other party's plan.

When he first arrived in Fengdu, he even marked the important points in his notebook.

Just then, Wakana Sonozaki's gentle and melodious voice came through the radio again:

Next, let's read a letter from a fan.

Princess Wakana, I've finally found her!

That place really exists, the Dream Casino! The Millionaire Arena!

As soon as these words were spoken, the police officers gathered around the radio immediately became agitated, discussing the matter amongst themselves.

"It's that Dream Casino! I heard someone started with no capital and won a fortune in no time!"

"Yes, yes, yes! My neighbor's sister is like that too. She won so many games and she's always bragging about it!"

"Wow, that's so awesome!"

"Speaking of which, Princess Wakana seems particularly happy lately. Could she be in love?"

"Don't talk nonsense! My Princess Wakana doesn't fall in love!"

Minato listened to the crowd's discussion, but only paid attention to the words "Dream Casino"—to be honest...

He hates casinos the most, they're such smoky and chaotic places.

As for the gossip about Sonozaki Wakana that followed, he simply let it go in one ear and out the other, turning back to his workstation.

Not long after he sat down, Shuimen saw a police officer walking towards him hesitantly.

The other person's expression changed when they saw him, but they still forced themselves to walk over.

"Um... Minato-kun."

Minato looked up at him, a puzzled expression on his face: "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"Could you...could you come out for a moment?" the police officer pleaded.

"Sure," Minato readily agreed and followed him out of the police station.

Once outside, the police officer looked around for a while before lowering his voice and saying:

"Minato-kun, I heard that you were the one who found the culprit in the Winskel case last time, so... I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Speak, what is it?"

"My name is Koizumi Heze, and my cousin's name is Koizumi Yuko. She went to that million-dollar arena, but now..."

Koizumi Heze paused, his tone filled with anxiety, and slowly recounted the whole story.

It turns out that after Yuko Koizumi went to the Dream Casino, she initially won a lot of money and gradually became addicted to it.

But how can an ordinary person keep winning at gambling?

In the end, she not only lost all the money she had won, but also set her sights on her parents' savings.

The parents were frantic when their once well-behaved and sensible daughter suddenly changed like this, so they sought help from Koizumi Heze, who worked at the police station.

However, Koizumi Heze's abilities were limited. After searching for several days, he couldn't even find a trace of the casino. Having no other choice, he heard about the power of Minato and wanted to ask him for help.

After listening, some blurry fragments suddenly flashed through Minato's mind.

He seemed to remember the plot; there appeared to be an admixture in it.

He smiled and readily agreed, "Sure, leave it to me! That's just how helpful I am!"
