As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider

He also learned about the imposter who had been impersonating Kamen Rider and committing evil deeds: the Arms Dopant. This dopant was extremely powerful, with its hands capable of transforming at will, instantly switching between various weapons such as a Kamen Rider sword and energy guns. Its combination of ranged and melee attacks left Kamen Rider W somewhat overwhelmed.

Tokiwa Sougo leaped directly off the Time Demon Machine and landed steadily on the ground.

Looking at the fierce battle raging on the field, he shouted, "Perfect timing! Then I'll join in too!" As soon as he finished speaking, he reached into his pocket, took out a Rider Watch, held it in his palm, and prepared to transform and join the battle.

Tokiwa Sougo took a deep breath, and with his right hand, he took out the white Time Driver from his waist, fastening it with a "click." The silver-gray belt extended and hugged his body.

Holding a Zi-O Knight watch engraved with the Roman numeral "2018" in his hand, he crossed his hands and pressed his thumbs firmly against the dial.

"Transform!"

"Zi-O!" A clear electronic sound cut through the air, and the hands in the center of the dial spun rapidly.

Tokiwa Sougo inserted the watch into the drive slot, and with a flick of his wrist, turned the drive clockwise.

"Rider Time!"

A golden spatial rift suddenly opened behind him, from which countless phantom gears surged forth, spinning rapidly around him. A massive knight silhouette materialized in the light, silver and black armor flowing over his entire body like water, with golden hour and minute hand patterns overlapping on his breastplate. The helmet slowly fell down.

"Kamen Rider Zi-O!"

After transforming, Sougo slowly raised his right hand, his index finger pointing to the sky. A golden clock phantom slowly rotated behind him.

Having struck a pose, Tokiwa Sougo, gripping the Clock Hand Sword, strode into the battlefield and shouted, "Senpai, I'm here to help!"

At this moment, the armed hybrid was relentlessly pressing W, and even taunting him: "You, the real deal, are nothing special!"

His entire attention was focused on W in front of him, and he didn't notice Zi-O suddenly appearing from behind.

A flash of cold light, and the Clock Sword slammed heavily into the back of the hybrid. The heavy strike exploded with energy, and the hybrid screamed as its massive body flew backward, crashing heavily onto the cracked asphalt road.

The sudden turn of events stunned Shotaro and Philip. W stopped dodging and looked at the person who had suddenly appeared. Both were filled with questions: Who is this guy? But he seems to be a Kamen Rider too.

Before W could even process his thoughts, the Armed Dopant, enraged by its heavy loss, instantly transformed its hands into heavy battle axes and roared as it slashed fiercely at Zi-O. Sougo calmly swung his Clock Sword to parry, and the crisp sound of metal clashing rang out one after another.

Lin Chen, high in the sky, stared at the three people who had begun to fight on the ground, with no intention of intervening.

He maneuvered the jet glider to land slowly, flipped off the aircraft, and jumped into the shadowy corner of a nearby building.

When the Little Demon King comes to another world, there are always Time Jackers lurking in the shadows, ready to cause trouble. He doesn't know if those guys have secretly followed him. Stepping onto the stage now would not be a wise choice; he should lie low and observe first.

He remained hidden behind the wall, watching the battle between Zi-O and the Armed Doppelganger while simultaneously scanning the surrounding streets and alleys with his senses, carefully searching for any lurking figures. He was ready to detect the moment a Time Jacker showed themselves.

Facing a pincer attack from both Kamen Rider W and Zi-O, the Armed Dopant was completely overwhelmed. Its prized multi-faceted weapons were rendered useless; whether it was sword slashes or gunfire, they were all easily countered by the two riders' seamless teamwork.

It could only passively defend itself in a sorry state, suffering defeat after defeat.

Knowing that continuing the fight would only lead to utter defeat, the armed hybrid ceased its fighting. It unleashed its remaining energy, exploding into a blinding cloud of black smoke that obscured visibility. Taking advantage of the moment when the smoke enveloped the entire area, it swiftly flipped over and mounted its motorcycle.

With a flash of fire, the motorcycle roared off and disappeared at the end of the street in the blink of an eye, completely escaping the battlefield.

Shotaro Zuo stared at the direction the dopant had fled, instinctively wanting to accelerate and give chase to completely annihilate this imposter. However, when his gaze fell upon the unfamiliar knight standing to the side, he abandoned the idea of ​​pursuing it.

Shotaro bent down and picked up a piece of metal fragment from the ground where the explosion had occurred. He casually put the fragment in his pocket, thinking that it was likely a key clue that might help him find out the true identity of the dopant.

After collecting the clues, Shotaro deactivated his transformation and returned to his original form. Seeing this, Tokiwa Sougo also promptly deactivated his transformation and removed his Rider armor.

Looking at the young and innocent-looking Sougo in front of him, Shotaro couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and say, "You kid, you probably haven't even graduated high school yet, have you?"

Upon hearing this, Sougo's eyes instantly lit up with admiration. He looked at Shotaro with utmost sincerity and said in an exceptionally earnest tone, "Senpai, you're amazing! My name is Tokiwa Sougo, and I'm a senior in high school. My dream is to become a supremely benevolent Demon King!"

"Demon King? What kind of ridiculous dream is that?!"

Shotaro was stunned on the spot, and blurted out an absurd remark. In all his years of life, this was the first time someone had ever considered becoming the Demon King as a legitimate dream; it was truly outrageous.

Before the two could continue their conversation, Shotaro's beetle-shaped cell phone suddenly started ringing urgently.

Sougo stood to the side, completely unable to hear the voice on the other end of the phone. He could only watch helplessly as the relaxed expression on Shotaro's face vanished instantly, and his brows gradually became serious.

After a brief silence, Shotaro spoke in a deep voice: "Is that so? I understand. I'll be right there."

He hung up the phone decisively and turned to Tokiwa Sougo beside him: "Although I don't know who you are, little devil knight, thank you for your help today. I have urgent business to attend to now, so I'll be going now. See you next time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shotaro didn't linger any longer. He flipped onto the motorcycle, the engine roared, the wheels kicked up a cloud of dust, and in an instant, it sped away into the distance.

Watching the motorcycle speed away, Zhuang Wu quickly chased after it, shouting, "Really, wait for me, senpai! I still have something important to tell you!"

He didn't dare to delay and immediately turned around and ran quickly towards the direction where the Time Demon Machine was parked.

Lin Chen, who had been observing from the shadows the whole time, slowly emerged from the shadows after the two left one after another. He leaped onto his jet glider, but did not take off to chase them as before.

A high-altitude pursuit would be too conspicuous.

Inside the indoor climbing practice room, the air conditioning gently blew warm air as Asou Fuyumi focused intently on her climbing practice. Her hand and foot movements were crisp and clean; gripping, exerting force, and moving were all done in one smooth motion. The steep simulated rock wall was as easy for her as flat ground, requiring no effort to figure out. Her skill was unlike that of an ordinary enthusiast.

Just then, a figure darted over quickly; it was Akiko, the head of the Narumi Detective Agency. Akiko maintained the same height as Fuyumi Aso, and watching Fuyumi's movements, she became even more certain of her judgment.

When Dongmei came to the firm to commission her services this morning, she pretended to be quiet and gentle, saying she was a proper bank employee, looking weak and well-behaved.

What truly aroused Akiko's suspicion was that during their conversation, Fuyumi, thinking no one was watching, casually uttered a swear word. This small gesture might fool others, but it couldn't fool the observant Akiko. A normal bank employee, with their professional ethics, would never casually use vulgar language.

Sensing something was amiss, Akiko began a secret investigation and discovered that Asou Fuyumi's identity as a bank employee was a complete fabrication. Having uncovered the truth, she went directly to Asou's home to confront her.

While rock climbing, Fuyumi Aso heard Akiko's question. Knowing that her disguise had been completely exposed, she couldn't be bothered to pretend to be gentle and honest anymore, and simply gave up.

She loosened her grip and landed steadily on the rock face, then turned to run away.

But just as her feet touched the ground, a tall, slender figure blocked her path—it was Shotaro. Akiko, though impulsive, wasn't stupid. She knew the man's identity was suspicious and hadn't dared come alone. Before setting off, she had contacted Shotaro to come and cover for her.

With her escape routes blocked from both sides, Fuyumi had no way to escape. Facing their gazes, she finally stopped hiding and honestly told them the whole truth. She and Kurata Kenji were not ordinary people at all; they were the famous phantom thief duo known as the "Rose Twins," who were both partners and lovers.

They used to have a bottom line when committing crimes and never harmed people indiscriminately, but everything changed after Kurata accidentally obtained the Arms Memory. The power of the Memory completely distorted his personality, making him crazy and paranoid, robbing and committing evil everywhere, and even shamelessly impersonating Kamen Rider to do bad things and tarnish the reputation of the Riders.

Fuyumi watched her lover gradually fall into depravity and be completely consumed by power. She was anxious and distressed. Having no other choice, she forged an identity and went to a detective agency to ask for help, hoping to find someone to stop Kurata from going completely astray.

Akiko was shocked upon hearing this and instinctively asked, "Aren't the Rose Twins wanted criminals? How can we accept a request from wanted criminals?"

"You can't say that. People should be given a chance to reform themselves."

Shotaro, who had been standing quietly to the side thinking, spoke up, his tone unusually serious: "Indeed. And that guy dared to impersonate a Kamen Rider and do evil, which is absolutely unforgivable."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shotaro realized that the person speaking was not right and immediately turned around. He saw Tokiwa Sougo and Tsukuyomi standing not far away. When Sougo saw him looking over, he immediately smiled and raised his hand to greet them.

Akiko was taken aback. Just as she was about to ask who these two people were and whether they were Shotaro's friends, Shotaro raised his hand to stop her.

Ignoring the unexpected turn of events, he turned to look directly at Fuyumi Aso, his tone firm: "We will continue to complete this request. But I have a condition: after we deal with Kurata and settle this matter, you and he must voluntarily turn yourselves in to the police and take responsibility for all your previous mistakes."

Looking at the two earnest people in front of her, Fuyumi's tense shoulders completely relaxed. As long as she could save the former Kurata and free him from the control of the memories, she would be willing to turn herself in and go to jail. She immediately nodded vigorously in agreement.

Chapter 150 The Distorted History

The group turned back from the climbing gym and returned to the Narumi Detective Agency.

The room was the same as always: an old sofa, a wooden table piled high with documents, and a faint smell of coffee mixed with old paper in the air. The first thing Shotaro did upon entering was to take the metal fragment out of his pocket and walk straight to the hidden space inside the base. Philip was curled up in a pile of books, looking through documents. He looked up when he saw Shotaro approaching.

"Check the origin of this fragment. The keywords are Rose Twins and Kurata Kenji." Shotaro handed over the fragment, and Philip took it and examined it carefully, stroking the special patterns on the fragment. He immediately began to access the Earth Library to search for information.

After finishing, Shotaro turned to greet Sougo and Tsukuyomi, who were standing to the side, and gestured for them to sit at the tea table where guests were being received. He then picked up two bottles of chilled soda and placed them on the table. Leaning against the desk with his arms crossed, he looked at the two young men and said, "Alright, now that no one is bothering us, you two brats, tell me honestly. Not only did you come to see me, but you also followed me all the way. What important business do you have?"

Sougo and Tsukuyomi exchanged a glance, briefly sharing their look. Finally, Sougo moved forward slightly and spoke earnestly, "We are not from this era; we come from the future, in 2018."

Upon hearing this, Shotaro raised an eyebrow, and his previously nonchalant expression became somewhat more serious.

The future? Are you out of your mind? How could that be! But he didn't interrupt and listened quietly to what happened next.

Sougo continued to explain that in his original timeline, W's Rider power would soon be forcibly taken over by the Time Jackers, who then used this original power to create Another W.

No one knows where the true identity of the outcast W is hidden, but after obtaining the power, his ambition swelled, and he gradually took control of the entire Fengdu with his overwhelming force.

The once peaceful and calm winds have been completely transformed, and the entire city has become a giant Gaia memory processing plant.

Factories of all sizes throughout the city operated day and night, mass-producing all kinds of Gaia Memories, which were then sold to every corner of the world through clandestine channels. The massive influx of out-of-control memories into the market led to the emergence of bizarre individuals, a surge in crime across the globe, the collapse of order, and ultimately, global chaos.

Their main purpose in coming here is to obtain the Rider Watch of Another W before Another W is born. By transforming through the watch face and borrowing this power, they will have the means to turn back and fight Another W, cut off the source of the rampant memory, and prevent the future disaster from happening.

After listening to all the future changes that Sougo mentioned, Shotaro's face showed no sign of seriousness. Instead, he gave a helpless smile, not taking his words seriously at all.

He leaned lazily against his desk, glanced at Sougo and Tsukuyomi in front of him, and said with a strong sense of teasing, "I say, you two little devils, you're quite good at making up stories, your imaginations are really wild."

He waved his hand dismissively, his tone perfunctory, and directly rejected their explanation: "But don't try to fool people with such a lame excuse next time, it's too fake."

Upon hearing this, Tokiwa Sougo froze, completely panicked. He abruptly braced himself on the table, jumped to his feet, and stared at the ground in disbelief: "Senpai! You don't believe what we said at all?!"

Faced with Sougo's questioning, Shotaro remained unmoved, his attitude exceptionally resolute. In his eyes, future anomalies, time jackers, and other riders were nothing but pure fantasy.

"Sorry, I don't believe in such nonsense as the future." Shotaro said calmly, "I don't know where you got your information about the Gaia Memory and Fuuto, but let's stop here. Go back to where you came from."

After saying that, he took out his phone and planned to contact Officer Renno to check if there were any new developments in the armored truck robbery case, completely ignoring the two people's explanations.

Sougo immediately deflated. He and Tsukuyomi had risked time distortion to come here, clearly to prevent a tragedy that would destroy the future, but their key senior completely disbelieved their explanation.

Just as Sougo was feeling down, he caught a glimpse of the old-fashioned keypad phone in Shotaro's hand, and an idea instantly popped into his head. He immediately gestured to Tsukuyomi beside him, and then pulled out his latest touchscreen phone.

This smart device, far ahead of its time, seemed exceptionally advanced for its era. Tsukuyomi immediately understood and took out the magical futuristic tablet from her backpack.

In the quiet streets and alleys of the city.

Lin Chen, who had been quietly following Zhuang Wu and his group and observing the situation from the shadows, originally only wanted to keep a low profile and watch how things developed. But just as he was halfway there, a figure suddenly emerged from the alleyway and blocked his way.

The newcomer was clad in a long gray robe, exuding an eerie aura. He slowly raised his hand, lifting the hood that concealed his face to reveal a pale, expressionless countenance. The ancient history book with a dark brown cover that he clutched tightly in his hands allowed Lin Chen to instantly recognize the man's identity.

Woz, the most 'loyal' and also the most mysterious retainer of Oma Zi-O, is the only follower who has witnessed the rise and fall of the entire future alongside the Demon King. But he is also a bigger trouble than the little Demon King.

At this moment, Woz's eyes were deep as he stared at Lin Chen in front of him.

In the dark alley, Woz held the dark brown-covered "Record of the Descent of the Demon," his face filled with wariness and suspicion. He asked, "Who exactly are you? There's absolutely no record of you in the Record of the Descent of the Demon. You've been secretly following my Demon Lord, acting suspiciously. What is your purpose?"

Faced with Woz's questioning, Lin Chen remained calm and instead retorted directly, "Woz, are you here for yourself? Or for Oma Zi-O? Or are you working for the Time and Space Administration?"

Upon hearing this, Woz was completely stunned, a chill running down his spine. The Time and Space Administration was an extremely secretive entity, far beyond the knowledge of ordinary people. This mysterious person had seen through his hidden identity at a glance, leaving Woz completely bewildered and his heart pounding with anxiety.

Before Woz could recover, Lin Chen's voice rang out again, his tone firm: "I don't care who you're loyal to now, but right now, the wind doesn't welcome you."

After saying that, Lin Chen snapped his fingers lightly.

Woz was completely bewildered, utterly unable to understand the meaning behind the other person's actions. But the next second, he instantly sensed something was wrong; the space around him began to fluctuate strangely. He knew he was in trouble, and without a word, he raised his scarf and tried to slip away.

But no matter how fast he was, he couldn't outrun the sudden attack of the dimensional barrier. An invisible spatial barrier instantly enveloped his entire body, giving him no chance to resist or escape. In a mere instant, Woz was completely encased in the dimensional barrier and vanished from the alley, no one knowing which unfamiliar corner of spacetime he had been transported to.

Looking at the empty alley, Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This ability of dimensional exile was really useful. It was a divine weapon to deal with troublesome guys like Woz.

After dealing with Woz's troubles, Lin Chen strolled back to the Narumi Detective Agency.

As soon as he pushed open the door, he noticed the unusually tense atmosphere inside. Philip was holding Tsukuyomi's futuristic high-tech tablet, his fingers moving rapidly as he exclaimed repeatedly, "Amazing! Absolutely amazing! This future technology is so advanced!"

At the table in the center of the room, Shotaro Hidari, Sougo Tokiwa, and Tsukuyomi stared at each other in pairs, the atmosphere incredibly tense. In the very center of the table sat a jet-black Rider Watch. Without a doubt, Lin Chen understood that the Little Demon King's core purpose in coming to Fuuto was to obtain W's Rider Power.
