Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 135 Kanzaki Shirou

"You're amazing, senior!"

Downstairs at the apartment building, Shinji Kido, who had watched the entire battle in the Mirror World, excitedly greeted Natsukawa, as if welcoming a hero home.

"To be able to fight that kind of monster, it seems like you were a Kamen Rider before. But you probably didn't expect there to be other Kamen Riders as well, did you?"

Although it was Natsukawa who transformed, Shinji Kido felt the same way, as if he were fighting alongside her.

My inner desire to explore was aroused to its peak.

"Fighting monsters and protecting humanity in places unknown to people, Kamen Rider is amazing! I must uncover the secrets behind it all, how about a behind-the-scenes hero report? The joy of journalism is in uncovering the truth."

"Not all Kamen Riders are like you imagine."

Xia Chuan shook his head and continued into the apartment building, preparing to draft an interview article to deal with the work.

Unfortunately, the police seemed to have a problem with them, keeping them out of the way with stern faces, and even looking like they were about to take action.

"It's you reporters again!"

"Are you still planning to cause us trouble?"

"This kind of case is not something you can interfere with! We, the police, will investigate it ourselves!"

Shinji Kido shrank back under the menacing gaze of the police.

How terrifying...

"We're leaving right away."

Xia Chuan ignored the police's attitude and simply looked inside, following the sound of the girl's crying.

The dejected figure of the male homeowner holding his daughter could be clearly seen through the crack in the door.

"Continue the investigation, otherwise such tragedies will continue to happen."

The veteran detective's expression subtly changed, vaguely sensing that he wasn't facing a reporter, but rather the police: "You bastard..."

After leaving the apartment, Shinji Kido gave Natsukawa a thumbs-up with admiration: "As expected of a senior, you stunned them in an instant. Could it be that you were a policeman before?"

"Why so many questions? This time, you're in charge of writing the manuscript."

"Huh? How do you write it?"

"Whatever, just don't write about me."

The little girl's crying still echoed in Xia Chuan's mind.

His feelings about these knight timelines have always been complicated. No matter how you treat them as instances, they are ultimately dealing with real, living beings.

……

"Haha, I'm a knight now!"

"Is this the Mirror World Knight System? If only I could bring it back..."

"I don't want to be a knight, let me go back! Damn it!"

The entire city of Tokyo was in chaos that day, as many transmigrators from this world who had unexpectedly entered the world of knights were targeted by Kanzaki Shirou.

Aside from honest, hidden individuals like Kazumi Takahashi, a large number of transmigrators believed they had struck gold, thinking they had entered the legendary Knight Trial Space, where they fought each other for card sets under the allure of Shiro Kanzaki.

"Ha ha!"

"I won!"

In a dark corner, an office worker wearing glasses frantically hammered a stone, leaving behind a bloody corpse. He then gasped for breath as he retreated from the flower bed, not even bothering to wipe the blood from his face, and excitedly picked up the initial card set.

However, before he could examine it closely, a tiger monster suddenly leaped out of the mirror behind him, biting his neck and dragging him into the mirror world.

"roar!"

"ah--!"

Screams echoed through the night, causing passersby to retreat, but some took the initiative to approach.

Shiro Kanzaki, dressed in a trench coat, stood in the mirrored world, unmoved, quietly watching the card set being fought over.

Compared to the knights he had chosen, these suddenly appearing people, although they were also qualified to become knights, were all too incompetent.

I don't know why, but many people who initially seem like desperate criminals who don't care about life or death suddenly become completely different people when they are about to die.

Fear only arises when death is imminent...

It's inexplicable; reality isn't a game.

After observing the chaotic battle for a while, Kanzaki Shiro turned and disappeared into the mirror.

In any case, he was happy to see this kind of struggle.

This makes it easier to advance the knight battles, as only through battle can the strongest knight be chosen in the end and the life energy obtained from the opponent be collected.

……

ORE Daily.

Two days passed, and the series of bizarre events left everyone looking rather grim.

Disappearance, murder... all happening at the same time.

"That's really strange."

President Okubo stroked his chin and asked Natsukawa and Shinji Kido.

"Have you heard? There's been a lot of talk online lately about Kamen Rider's urban legends. They say that all the missing people were eaten by monsters, and that Kamen Riders were fighting monsters."

I've heard a little about it.

Shinji Kido, who was racking his brains to write his manuscript, subconsciously glanced at Natsukawa, who was drinking tea.

Just then, Kazumi Takahashi returned to the office with a pair of letters: "Whose letter is this? It says it's for Ryuki..."

"Let me see!"

Shinji Kido breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up from his seat to get the letter. After opening it, he found that there was not much inside, only a meeting address.

I looked at the envelope again, puzzled. Apart from the signature "Shiro Kanzaki" at the bottom, there was no return address.

"What does this mean?"

Shinji Kido hesitated, then looked at Natsukawa.

"senior……"

"I'm not going." Xia Chuan also saw the address in the letter, but he wasn't interested.

Knowing that Shiro Kanzaki was lying, he certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to participate in the Knights Battle.

Now all he wants to do is find the core mirror.

Regardless of whether this mirror world of time and space can be completely shut down, it can at least resolve the invasion crisis of this world.

"But……"

Shinji Kido glanced at Okubo and the others who were busy with their own things, then quietly approached Natsukawa.

"This is a good opportunity to investigate the truth, senior. Perhaps we can meet other knights."

"I have more important things to do," Xia Chuan shook his head again.

Finding the location of the core mirror is also a headache; he has no time to play Knights Wars.

"Then may I go in place of you, senior?" Shinji Kido gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and asked hopefully.

"You're far too curious."

"That's why I became a journalist."

"Whatever you want."

Natsukawa did not stop Shinji Kido.

Shinji Kido is no longer a Ryuki, so even if he went, he wouldn't be able to participate in the battle and wouldn't be in any danger.

It would be good to see the true colors of the other knights.

"That's great!" Shinji Kido almost shouted with excitement, then clenched his fist sheepishly. "When the news breaks, I'll publish it together with my senior! It'll definitely make the front page!"

"Whatever makes you happy."

Natsukawa's gaze fell on the signature of Kanzaki Shiro on the envelope.

To find the core mirror, we probably need to start with this person.

In the world of Ryuki, it's impossible to bypass Shirou Kanzaki.

This is difficult.

but……

Looking at Shinji Kido's expectant face, Natsukawa's expression also changed slightly.

This time, it should be Shirou Kanzaki trying to gather the knights to fight.

Whatever the reason, Shiro Kanzaki himself will definitely be there.
