Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 145 Murderer and Lawyer

Alliance Research Institute.

The person in charge, with a stern face, flipped through several documents on the table.

"The Mirror Knight System has actually been brought out, and there's more than one..."

"How did you do that?"

"The people we sent there didn't know what had happened either."

The bespectacled researcher next to him brought up the identity system on his computer.

The images of Asakura and another lawyer appeared together.

"It seems that only those who become knights retain their memories. Now it can be confirmed that these two are the Mirror Knights: Takeshi Asakura and Shuichi Kitaoka."

"A murderer and a lawyer? What a strange combination."

The person in charge's gaze fell on Asakura's aggressive face.

"Although such a person is a criminal, he is also very suitable for this era. The fact that he was able to bring out the Rider System must have a lot to do with it. Let's talk to him. Kamen Riders can indeed be exempted from their crimes, but after all, they are not Alliance Riders. In the end, it is up to us to make the judgment."

"A collaboration with Asakura?" The bespectacled researcher was puzzled.

There is clearly another lawyer who is more suitable.

"You don't understand," the person in charge turned to look out the window at Tokyo under the night sky, "There can only be one Mirror Knight in this world, and I think the one who will survive to the end is Asakura. He has the ability."

……

early morning.

Knight School.

Xia Chuan stretched and walked out of the villa's bedroom. Before he even went downstairs, he could smell the aroma of fried eggs wafting from the kitchen.

"Don't you have to work today?"

Upon discovering Hiroko Asami busy in the kitchen, Natsukawa asked her a question in surprise.

"Nothing much for now," Hiroko Asami said, pausing her movements with puffed-out cheeks, her voice tinged with resentment. "The investigation into the Mirror Monster has been taken over by another investigation team!"

Sensing that Hiroko Asami wasn't in a good mood, Natsukawa touched his nose and opened the refrigerator.

"Mr. Shima Noboru drank the last bottle of milk," Hiroko Asami explained without turning her head.

"oh."

Xia Chuan withdrew his hand, not paying much attention, and returned to the living room to turn on the TV and browse the news on his phone.

These past few days have been outwardly calm, except for the news from the Alliance headquarters announcing the development of a brand-new Knight System, which has sparked heated discussions.

The released design sketches look like Kamen Rider 01.

Artificial intelligence and satellite systems...

Is the leap from the new generation of Kamen Rider too big?

Humans don't have the technology to develop this yet, so there must be extraterrestrial involvement behind it.

"Are you alright, Kaminari?"

Hiroko Asami placed breakfast on the table, her gaze lingering briefly on Natsukawa's retreating figure.

"Maybe it's just my imagination, but you seem to be looking more and more like those aliens..."

"Is there?"

Xia Chuan looked slightly stunned.

In some ways, he is indeed an alien, but his race is still human.

"Maybe I've been too tired lately."

"Are you still trying to travel through time?"

Hiroko Asami took off her apron and went into the bedroom.

Natsukawa was always very reserved with her emotions. Although she felt that he had changed a lot recently, he was still the "Shinji Kaminaga" that she knew.

"Be careful, frequent use of the shuttle can put a lot of mental strain on you and can easily leave lasting health problems."

"I know."

Xia Chuan stood under the dining table, a look of caution flashing in his eyes.

His condition wasn't due to overuse of the shuttle; that little bit of burden wouldn't have much of an impact.

It's all because of his rapid evolution.

In just a few months, it became a D-level life form, and its physique was close to the limits of human potential... These are results that would have been difficult to achieve even after millions of years of natural evolution.

and.

It differed slightly from his initial assessment.

The life forms of light represent a leap in the level of life; the more they evolve, the more indifferent human emotions become.

He was left with two choices.

One regained his emotions after becoming a giant of light, while the other preserved his emotions through his own will.

The simplest way to do the former is to find a human host, but the latter is much more difficult.

The evolution from lower to higher life forms is not a simple matter.

Moreover, they evolved in such a prison-like world.

However, it is not entirely impossible. Light is not only a form of energy, but can also be evolved by human will.

He possesses the light born from the fusion of Shinji Kamiya and Lypia, making it possible for him to seek the evolution of light as a human.

He prefers to be more human than "divine".

"for you."

Hiroko Asami suddenly took out an equipment box from the room, opened it, and handed a bow and arrow harness buckle to Natsukawa.

"The Magnum buckle type is hopeless, but this ordinary buckle is alright, and it can also be used as a ranged weapon."

While Natsukawa was still pondering evolution, he was almost completely bewildered when Hiroko Asami shoved the item into his hand.

"Hiroko, I..."

"come on!"

Hiroko Asami raised her fist and gave it a little pep talk. Before Natsukawa could say anything, she went straight to the entrance to change her shoes.

"I can't give up either, I won't lose to those guys!"

Xia Chuan, gripping the bow and arrow buckle, finally snapped out of his daze and silently watched Asami Hiroko leave.

I almost forgot that my current public identity is Kamen Rider Goku.

He had seen this kind of weapon belt buckle on the Knights Forum before; the exchange points were incredibly high, but it wasn't very useful to him.

Xia Chuan rubbed his temples.

Why do I feel like I'm a gold digger?

He currently has two access cards: a general card and a gold knight card that is listed on the panel.

All the points associated with Kuuga, Dark Kiva, and Kalis are concentrated in the latter's gold card, making them unusable; otherwise, all three identities would be exposed immediately.

The general card contains some points earned from Extreme Fox and his mentor status. After exchanging for the Knight Motorcycle, there aren't many left, not enough to exchange for the Bow and Arrow Armor Buckle.

It seems I'll have to make use of the Extreme Fox identity more often.

The school primarily pays tutors in cash, with points being a special reward that can't be relied upon at all. Even with two experts, Daosheng and Tiger Q, helping with teaching, the school won't reward them with many points.

This is also why Kondo Isami insisted on leaving.

……

"what!"

Alliance branch.

Kazumi Takahashi walked into the office carrying a stack of documents, accidentally bumping into the table, scattering the documents all over the floor.

Hiroko Asami, who had just arrived, had to help tidy up.

"Kazumi, you've been so distracted ever since we came back from the Knight World. Are you sure you're okay?"

"No, no."

Kazumi Takahashi also squatted down, and a similar image suddenly flashed through her mind.

ORE Newspaper.

President Okubo, Shinji Kido, Kaminaga...

"Kazumi?" Hiroko Asami looked at Kazumi Takahashi, who had stopped in her tracks, with surprise. "What's wrong?"

"Hiroko-senpai, I think I remember now," Takahashi Kazumi said blankly, "Kaminaga-senpai and I worked at the same newspaper..."

Hiroko Asami shook her head with a smile: "How could that be? Are you mistaken?"

"Buzz—!"

A black dragon rider's figure walked past in the reflection of the glass mirror. Without the two people noticing, he stopped, examined them for a moment, turned around and continued walking. Soon he entered the high-level office.

All information about the Mirror Knight has vanished into thin air.
