As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider

A black figure leaped out of the open hatch.

There was no parachute, no safety equipment. He simply jumped straight down from a height of several hundred meters.

"Has he gone mad?!" a bodyguard exclaimed. Tian Duan's pupils contracted sharply.

He had a bad feeling.

The black figure adjusted its posture in mid-air and then landed precisely on the helicopter rotor at an incredible angle.

The powerful wind generated by the spinning propeller made his long hair and trench coat flutter wildly, but he stood firmly, as if nailed to it.

He looked up and gazed toward the cockpit.

The sunlight illuminated his face. It was an exceptionally handsome face. His eyes were cold, empty, devoid of any human emotion.

The Great Way is to restrain oneself.

The leader of the NEVER mercenary organization.

Tian Duan's heart sank to the bottom.

"Shoot! Shoot now!" Tian Duan shouted hysterically.

The four bodyguards immediately drew their guns and opened fire on Daido Katsumi on the rotor. Daido Katsumi dodged the bullets and leaped into the cabin.

"Kill him!" Tian Duan shouted, pulling out his gun and firing at Dao Da Keji.

Dao Keji dodged the bullets to the side, and in a flash, he appeared in front of a bodyguard. He reached out, grabbed the bodyguard by the neck, and twisted it sharply.

A crisp "snap" sounded.

The bodyguard's neck was snapped, and he collapsed limply to the ground.

Seeing this, the remaining three bodyguards rushed forward. But in front of Da Dao Keji, they were like lambs to the slaughter.

Dao Keji's movements were astonishingly fast, almost invisible. Only the sounds of bones breaking could be heard; within ten seconds, all three bodyguards lay dead on the ground.

Only Tabata remained in the entire cabin.

Tian Duan was trembling with fear, almost dropping his gun. He backed away step by step, leaning against the cabin wall, clutching the black box tightly to his chest.

Knowing he could no longer protect her, Tadashi suddenly pressed the detonation button hidden at the bottom of the box.

"boom--!!!"

A huge explosion rang out.

The helicopter instantly transformed into a massive fireball, exploding in the azure sky. Burning debris rained down like meteors, hurtling towards the sea below and the distant winds.

Tabata and the helicopter were blown to pieces. Daido Katsumi burst out of the fireball and glided through the sky like a bat.

He saw the white Eternal Memory in front of him. He grabbed it, raised his hand, and inserted the Memory into the Lost Driver at his waist.

"Eternal!"

A mechanical sound effect rang out.

White armor instantly covered his entire body. His white cloak fluttered wildly in the strong wind.

Kamen Rider Eternal.

He landed smoothly, raised his head, and looked at the distant city bathed in sunlight.

The remaining 25 T2 memory modules were scattered throughout Fengdu by the shockwave of the explosion.

It's ok.

He will find them one by one.

Fengdu will become his eternal paradise.

On a small hill a few kilometers from the explosion site.

Tsukasa Kadoya put down his camera, looked at the dazzling fireball in the distant sky, and curled his lip.

"It's really lively," he said. "I didn't expect to see such a big scene as soon as I got back to Fengdu. They're setting up an explosion in broad daylight, aren't they afraid of being seen?"

Standing beside him was Lin Chen. Lin Chen had his hands in his pockets, quietly watching the white-clad knight's figure, his eyes deep and unfathomable. Sunlight fell on his face, half bright and half shadowy.

"The Great Way is self-discipline, Eternal," Lin Chen said softly. "The murky waters of Fengdu are getting even more chaotic."

"Hmm." Tsukasa Kadoya nodded, raised his camera, and took a picture of Eternal in the distance. "Eternal. They are indeed very strong."

"Although he's very strong, he's gone mad. Time to get to work. Let's go. We need to retrieve those Gaia Memories ahead of schedule. We can't let them cause any trouble in Fengdu."

Chapter 169 A complete mess

After the explosion, Fengdu was plunged into unprecedented chaos.

Citizens who found the memory modules transformed into hybrids, wreaking havoc throughout the city. Unlike the T1 memory, the T2 memory requires no surgery; it can be used directly by inserting it into the human body without any side effects, but it will forcibly control the user's will.

Ryu Terui sped along the streets of Futo on his motorcycle, the roar of the engine breaking the afternoon's tranquility.

The communicator on his waist suddenly crackled to life, and the Metropolitan Police Department's dispatcher's voice came through urgently: "Attention all units! An alien has caused trouble in Central Park, and several citizens have been injured. Nearby units are requested to provide immediate assistance!"

Terui Ryu glanced at the location on the navigation, then twisted the handlebars sharply, the motorcycle executing a beautiful drift and turning head straight towards Central Park. He floored the throttle, the crimson motorcycle flashing through the traffic like lightning.

When he arrived at Central Park, it was in complete chaos. Citizens were screaming and scattering in all directions, the lawns were trampled and ruined, and benches and trash cans were overturned. In the center of the park, two hybrids were frantically smashing everything in their path.

Terui Ryu stopped the car, looking at the two figures with a solemn expression. One of them was covered in dark gray, hard armor, and his right hand had transformed into a huge iron ball. It was the violent hybrid that W had previously dealt with, according to the Metropolitan Police Department's files.

The other one emanated a bone-chilling cold, leaving a layer of frost on the ground wherever it passed. It was none other than the Ice Age hybrid that he had personally killed just a few days ago.

“How is this possible…” Terui Ryu frowned, his mind filled with doubt. How could the Gaia Memory, which had been completely destroyed, reappear? Moreover, these two hybrids seemed even stronger than before.

Without a second thought, he reached out and fastened the Accel Driver to his waist. "Henshin!" The memory module was inserted, and the engine roared to life, instantly engulfing his entire body in scorching energy. Kamen Rider Accel appeared, gripping the Engine Sword tightly, and charged towards the two Dopants without a word.

Facing the two dopants, Terui Ryu remained completely calm.

He dodged the iron ball swung by the violent dopant, and with a swift motion, slashed down with his engine sword, deflecting the ball with a clang. Then, he spun around, using the momentum to deliver a powerful blow to the Ice Age dopant's waist, sparks flying.

"Too slow!" Terui Ryu yelled, twisting the throttle on his waist. The engine revved up, and he became a crimson blur.

Moving at high speed around the two dopants, the engine sword continuously slashed out. Before long, both dopants were knocked to the ground, unable to get up again.

Teruji stopped, took out a memory chip, and inserted it into the slot of the engine sword.

"Engine!"

"Engine! Maximum Drive!"

The blazing flames spread along the sword's blade, coalescing into a massive fiery slash. Terui Ryu gripped the sword with both hands and slashed forward with tremendous force. The fiery slash roared out, heading straight for the two hybrids on the ground.

Seeing this, the Ice Age hybrid mustered its last bit of strength to condense a thick wall of ice in front of itself, while its feet rapidly froze, attempting to slide away and escape on the ice.

"Trying to run?" Terui Ryu sneered, taking the Accel Driver from his waist and holding it horizontally in front of him with both hands.

He suddenly did a backflip, his body instantly deforming in mid-air.

With the roar of an engine, a bright red motorcycle appeared on the spot. The motorcycle twisted the throttle by itself, and flames shot out of the exhaust pipe. Like an arrow released from a bow, it rushed straight toward the Ice Age Hybrid.

"boom--!"

The motorcycle passed right through the Ice Age Dopant's body. Flames instantly engulfed him, and with a piercing scream, the Ice Age Dopant vanished into flames. On the other side, the Violent Dopant also couldn't escape the fiery attack and exploded on the spot.

Terui Ryu reverted to human form and deactivated his transformation.

Just then, he saw a man in a black coat slowly walk over, bend down and pick up the two Gaia Memory Entities from the ground.

Terui Ryu became wary and reached for the driver at his waist. But when he saw the man's face, he froze—it was the same frivolous guy named Kadoya Tsukasa he had met at the Narumi Detective Agency a few days ago.

Strangely, these two memories, which should have been destroyed in the final blow, were completely intact. Moreover, the texture and color of their outer shells were the same as the memories that he and W usually used, and they didn't seem to be the kind from the museum organization at all.

"Hey, Tsukasa Kadoya, have you got things sorted out over there?"

A voice suddenly rang out from the side. Lin Chen appeared from the dimensional barrier, still toying with a blue memory in his hand. When he saw Terui Ryu standing not far away, he smiled and said, "Looks like Officer Terui took care of things first. Perfect, I have something for you."

After saying that, he raised his hand and flicked it, sending several memory modules flying towards Terui Ryu. Terui Ryu caught them and looked down. In addition to three slightly different memory modules, there was one with a unique design at the bottom—it didn't have any English letters engraved on it, but instead had the three characters "Teruui Ryu" engraved on it.

"What is this?" Terui Ryu asked, looking up as he held the special memory.

"Something that will allow you to take revenge," Lin Chen said calmly. "Press it, and you'll understand everything."

Just then, two groans came from the ground nearby. Terui Ryu turned his head and saw two men with bruised and swollen faces slowly waking up, rubbing their heads and looking bewildered. "Hey... Little Christmas, how did we get here? My head hurts so much..." "I don't know... I remember we just found the Gaia Memory... Huh? Lin Chen-jun?"

These two are old friends of the Narumi Detective Agency—the Information Shop and Little Christmas.

"You two know each other?" Terui Ryu asked.

"There's no time to explain slowly." Lin Chen shook his head and pointed to the memory chip in his hand. "Press it first, and you'll understand everything."

Terui Ryu looked at the memory chip in his hand, engraved with his name, and hesitated for a few seconds. In the end, he pressed the button on the memory chip.

A gentle white light surged from the memory and instantly flooded into Terujiro's mind. Countless unfamiliar images rushed in like a tide—it was another version of himself from another world.

He saw that night, the frost of minus two hundred degrees Celsius freezing the entire house, his parents and sister maintaining their welcoming smiles as they turned into cold, icy fragments before his eyes. He saw himself resigning from his ordinary job as a detective, becoming a demon controlled by hatred.

He saw himself become Kamen Rider Accel, rushing headlong into the weather dopant, only to be repeatedly beaten and bruised.

He saw Shotaro shield him from a fatal blow with his own body, he saw Akiko, he saw Philip. He forgave Shroud, who had indirectly caused the deaths of his family.

He saw himself finally defeat Isaka Shinkuro, and after the flames of revenge were extinguished, they were replaced by a determination to protect the city. He saw himself fall in love with the city he once loathed, and he saw himself and everyone else achieve final victory.

The white light gradually faded, and Zhaojinglong stood there, remaining silent for a long time.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of the Wind Tower.

Sudo Kirihiko leaned against the railing, holding a blue-glowing T2 Memory in one hand. Sunlight filtered through the Memory, casting soft shadows on his face. The Memory bore a clear "N"—Nazca Memory.

He gently stroked the surface of the memory, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Nazca... What a pity, I don't need you anymore."

He didn't throw the memory away; instead, he put it in his pocket. He had already received a message from Lin Chen to collect the new Gaia memories scattered throughout Fengdu.

As evening fell, Lin Chen, Tsukasa Kadoya, and Ryu Terui gathered at the Narumi Detective Agency. The three of them poured out the T2 Memory they had collected that day onto the table, arranging them neatly one by one.

The three of them together have a total of 18.

"Only 18?" Tsukasa Kadoya scoffed. "We're still 8 short."

“The rest don’t need to be looked for,” Terui Ryu said, but he was very different from before. Although he still didn’t smile much, he was no longer the aloof person he used to be. “The rest should all be in Never’s hands.”

After using that exclusive memory, he already knew of Never's existence.

"When will Zuo and You be back?" Terui Ryu asked Lin Chen. He was now used to calling Shotaro and Philip that.

"Let's wait until they can control their ultimate forms," ​​Lin Chen said. "It won't be long."
