As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider

Just as he was about to reach the belt, a blue minivan suddenly sped up and stopped on the roadside not far from Haitang. The door opened, and a long-haired, somewhat delicate-looking girl rushed out, anxiously shouting, "Haitang!"

Immediately afterwards, the driver's side door opened, and the short-haired young man quickly got out of the car; it was none other than Kikuchi Keitaro.

Lin Chen was slightly taken aback when he saw the two people who suddenly appeared. Nagata Yuka and Kikuchi Keitaro had actually gotten together. He felt a little helpless; he should have watched Faiz TV properly back then. Now, his memories were all over the place.

On the other side, Orpheus, who was running, recognized Keitaro at a glance. He was one of the three people who had ambushed him on the rooftop last night. He was so scared that his soul almost left his body. All the courage he had just mustered disappeared. He stopped abruptly and ran back halfway, hiding behind Lin Chen. He was a complete coward.

Lin Chen looked at his timid and hesitant appearance, and an exasperated expression appeared on his forehead. Where did his courage go when he was about to kill someone in the apartment?

On the lawn, Keitaro quickly ran up behind Nagata Yuka, looked at Kaidou Naoya, and recognized him as the mysterious person who had transformed into Faiz last night. His gaze swept over the grass and he noticed the Faiz belt on the grass next to him.

Yuka Nagata crouched down, looking at Naoya Kaidou with a worried expression, and softly asked about his condition. But Naoya Kaidou was in a terrible mood at the moment and didn't appreciate it at all. He shoved Yuka away roughly and said in a harsh tone, "Get away from me."

Seeing this, Keitaro couldn't stand it any longer and couldn't help but speak up, "What's wrong with you? This is too much! Aren't you supposed to be a champion of justice?"

Only then did Kaidou Naoya notice Keitaro standing to the side. He struggled to his feet, bracing himself against the ground, and said, "Who are you? Mind your own business!"

After saying that, he reached out to pick up the Faiz belt from the ground and leave. But Keitaro was faster, stepping forward and snatching the belt into his arms first. He knew very well how dejected Inui Takumi was after losing the belt, and compared to Kaidou Naoya, it was more appropriate for the belt to remain in Inui Takumi's hands.

"Give it back to me!" Haitang Zhiye frowned and shouted coldly.

"I won't return it! It's better for Takumi to be Faiz!" Keitaro refused without thinking, grabbed the belt, and ran away.

In his panic, Keitaro only looked back to see if Haitang was chasing after him, and didn't even look at the road ahead. He ended up falling headfirst into Lin Chen's arms.

Lin Chen, even in his human form, can now completely immobilize the snail Orpheus. The consequences for Keitaro are predictable.

With a loud thud, Keitaro was bounced back and landed hard on his backside. The Faiz belt he was carrying flew out of his hands and landed at Lin Chen's feet.

The snail Orpheus, startled by the sudden turn of events, immediately revealed its snail form.

When Keitaro saw this, he turned pale with fright and his body stiffened.

Lin Chen picked up the Faiz belt from the ground, patted Snail Orpheus on the shoulder, and calmed him down. The snail then trembled and shed his monster form, returning to his normal human appearance.

Just then, the roar of a motorcycle grew louder as a dark figure sped towards them. Inui, riding his motorcycle, drifted to a stop beside Keitaro, quickly dismounted, and helped the fallen Keitaro up. His eyes warily fixed on Lin Chen and Snail Orpheus, finally settling on the Faiz belt in Lin Chen's hand.

Lin Chen looked at Qian Qiao and said casually, "Want this? I can give you the belt, but you have to answer one question for me."

He turned and pointed to the snail Orpheus beside him, continuing, "This guy is an Orpheus, but he has never harmed a human. If it were you, would you take action against him?"

Qian Qiao remained silent for a moment, then looked at the snail Orpheus and gave his answer: "As long as the Orpheus doesn't harm people, I won't attack him."

"Is that so?" Lin Chen replied indifferently, casually tossing the Faiz belt to Qian Qiao, his tone nonchalant, "Never mind, it doesn't matter, the belt is yours."

He wanted to ask a few more questions, but his keen senses suddenly caught a cold gaze hidden in the shadows, which was firmly fixed on everyone present.

Lin Chen composed himself and called out to Snail Orpheus, "Let's go."

The two turned and left the riverside park, walking in silence until they reached an elevated overpass.

Lin Chen stopped and turned to look at the end of the overpass. "Hey, you've been following me for so long, do you really enjoy being a stalker?"

A cold voice rang out: "All Orphnochs deserve to die."

From the shadows at the end of the overpass, a knightly figure in yellow and black stepped out. Orange-yellow lines crossed his face, forming a striking X-shaped outline.

Seeing his appearance, Lin Chen whispered, "Caesar?"

Chapter 182 Kamen Rider Kaiser

As the cold words fell, the daylight spilled onto the empty overpass. Despite it being a clear daytime, a chilling wind seemed to sweep across it.

There was not a single unnecessary probe or a single wasted word.

Holding fast to his unwavering belief that all Orphnochs are villains, Caesar charged forward!

call out--

A short, sharp whooshing sound rang out as Caesar's speed was astonishing. His fist, gleaming with a cold metallic light, hurtled straight for the face of the snail Orpheus, who had not yet revealed his true form. The move was ruthless and cunning, clearly intended to kill with a single blow.

Snail Orpheus was already shaken and had been anxiously fleeing with Lin Chen from the park. Her mind was completely relaxed, and she never expected that the knight in the shadows would suddenly attack.

When the biting wind pressure hit him, his pupils contracted sharply, the hair on his body stood on end, and his mind went blank.

"not good!"

He forced a low, terrified gasp, instinctively shrinking back and hastily raising his arms in front of him, revealing Orphnoch's form.

The next second, a heavy knight's punch slammed into his arms as he tried to block!

Bang! !

A deafening crash resounded, the powerful impact like a speeding car slamming into it. Snail Orpheus's small body was suddenly sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the concrete railing of the overpass.

Click!

"Ugh—!"

A sharp pain swept through his body; Orpheus gritted his teeth, his body convulsing violently. Faced with the unwavering belief that all Orphnochs should die, Caesar showed no mercy.

Having landed a successful blow, he didn't stop moving. He pushed off the ground with both legs, his armored knees tensed and ready to strike. In an instant, he rushed in front of Snail Orpheus, bent down and raised his knee. The fierce knee strike went straight for the opponent's chest. The move was ruthless and every move was deadly.

"Enough!" Just as Caesar's next heavy punch was about to land on the snail Orphnoch, Lin Chen shouted to stop him, but the other party ignored him completely. The photon energy wrapped in the fist did not diminish at all, and it still smashed down hard on the snail Orphnoch who was lying on the ground.

Lin Chen said no more. Grayish-black mutated patterns appeared all over his body, and a layer of silvery-white hard armor covered his skin, completely transforming him into the Orphnoch form. He leaped and landed in front of the snail Orphnoch, holding one arm across his chest.

Caesar's long-awaited punch slammed heavily onto Lin Chen's arm armor. The powerful recoil spread along the armor, and even though Caesar was wearing knight armor, he was still shaken by the strong impact and staggered back several steps before regaining his balance.

Caesar's gaze was fixed on Lin Chen's mutated body, his voice beneath the mask icy and chilling: "I didn't expect you to be an Orphnoch as well. In that case, I'll take care of you too."

Before he finished speaking, Caesar did not charge forward like a brute. Instead, he took a half step back, reached for his right waist with his right hand, and drew his signature cross-shaped Caesar Blade.

Switching the bladed gun to pistol mode, aiming the muzzle at Lin Chen, and firing repeatedly, several orange-yellow photon blood bullets shot out, forming a triangular pattern to block Lin Chen's dodging routes on both sides.

Lin Chen stood rooted to the spot, his silver-white, hard armor gleaming coldly in the sunlight. Facing the whistling light bullets, he merely shifted slightly, easily dodging all the attacks. The bullets struck the overpass railing behind him, blasting out charred craters and sending cement debris flying everywhere.

The first wave of fire missed, but Caesar remained unfazed and immediately switched tactics.

He pushed off with his feet, closing in on Lin Chen with a standard Aikido slide step, while simultaneously switching his blade gun to sword mode, unfurling an orange-yellow photon blade. With a flick of his wrist, the blade swept across Lin Chen's side with a whooshing sound.

Lin Chen raised his left arm to block. "Clang—!"

The photon blade slammed into Lin Chen's arm armor, producing a piercing metallic clang and sending sparks flying. Caesar felt a tremendous force of recoil from the blade, numbing his hands and causing his arm to involuntarily spring backward.

The result of this attack was completely unexpected by Caesar. He immediately withdrew and retreated, creating a safe distance between himself and Lin Chen. Beneath his orange-yellow X-shaped visor, his eyes became even sharper.

He could sense that the Orphnoch before him possessed a defensive capability far exceeding that of any opponent he had ever encountered before.

"No matter how strong you are, I will destroy all the Orphnochs." Caesar's voice remained icy.

As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed the command on Caesar's phone.

Exceed Charge!

As the sound effect played, orange-yellow photon blood flowed rapidly along the photon veins in the arm, converging on the fist.

Caesar charged forward, his right fist slamming into Lin Chen's chest. This strike concentrated all the power of the Caesar System; even an ordinary Orphnoch would be instantly killed.

Lin Chen also raised his right fist, directly clashing with Caesar's fist.

"Bang!!"

The two powerful forces collided, and the resulting shockwave spread outwards. Caesar felt as if he had crashed into a wall made of steel. The photon energy on his fist dissipated, and he was thrown back several meters before crashing heavily to the ground.

Caesar quickly rolled over and stood up, letting out a muffled groan, and subtly pressed his slightly numb wrist with his right hand.

Without hesitation, Caesar drew his Caesar Blade again. He inserted the mission memory into the blade and simultaneously pulled the hammer on it.

"Exceed Charge!"

An orange-yellow energy net shot out from the muzzle of the Caesar Blade Gun, heading straight for Lin Chen in an attempt to bind him.

Lin Chen raised his hand and waved it, and an invisible force tore the energy net apart.

The instant the energy network shattered, Caesar transformed into a yellow and black afterimage, charging towards Lin Chen with a photon sword in hand. His speed was several times faster than before.

The photon energy on the blade surged, and with an aura capable of cutting through everything, it slashed towards Lin Chen's head.

Lin Chen raised his right claw and gripped the photon blade. No matter how hard Caesar tried, the blade could not move forward an inch.

Beneath Caesar's mask, Kusaka Masato's pupils contracted, a flicker of disbelief crossing his face. Lin Chen gently twisted his wrist, and Caesar's Blade flew out of his hand, spinning as it landed deeply embedded in the concrete of the overpass.

Before Caesar could react, Lin Chen had already closed in, and the claw blades on his arm armor struck him directly in the chest.

"Oh!"

He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the guardrail with a dull thud.

Caesar, leaning on the railing, struggled to his feet, staring intently at Lin Chen. He raised his right hand, pointing at Lin Chen, his eyes, beneath the orange-yellow X-shaped mask, were cold enough to kill.

"I will come again."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around, leaped off the overpass, and landed steadily on the highway below. Without looking back, he walked straight to the motorcycle parked by the roadside, started the engine, and disappeared into the traffic with a deafening roar.

Orphnoch, the snail, stared in disbelief at everything. He was right; the adult was indeed powerful. In his mind, Caesar was far stronger than Faiz, yet Lin Chen had easily defeated him.

"Let's go!" This was a minor incident for Lin Chen. He deactivated his Orphnoch form and said to the snail Orphnoch.

The sky darkened quickly, the afterglow of dusk was completely swallowed by the night, and the entire city was plunged into the thick darkness.

Lin Chen walked aimlessly along the empty streets with his snail, Orpheus, their primary concern being finding a place to stay for the night. He turned to look at the timid Orpheus beside him and casually asked, "Do you have a place to stay? Or any identification you can use?"

Hearing this, Snail Orpheus shook his head. His voice carried a hint of inferiority: "Sir, I have nothing. I am an orphan, with no one to rely on. I used to work in the city to make a living."

He paused, then continued recounting his situation, his tone filled with helplessness: "Ever since I unexpectedly awakened as an Orphnoch, the authorities have declared me dead, and all my personal information has been erased. The small apartment I used to rent has also been taken back by the landlord."

If I had a place to stay, I wouldn't have had to resort to stealing to survive.

After listening, Lin Chen felt a sense of helplessness; it was indeed the same old problem repeating itself.

Each time I travel to a new world, I encounter almost the same predicament—no legal identity. Without documents, legitimate hotels and inns simply won't accept me; I'm turned away wherever I go.

He couldn't help but inwardly complain. He had clearly replicated Tsukasa Kadoya's dimensional travel ability, so why hadn't he replicated his most useful passive talent? Every time Tsukasa arrived in a new world, the system would automatically assign him a legal identity, so he didn't have to worry about such trivial matters. In contrast, he always started as an unregistered individual.

Lin Chen looked around, secretly calculating in his mind. If all else fails, he'll just find an abandoned warehouse or a park bench to spend the night.

Just as he was pondering, the snail Orpheus beside him suddenly stopped.

He stood there, his eyes darting around, his gaze fixed on the street corner ahead, his lips trembling slightly, looking hesitant and unsure of what to say.

Lin Chen glanced at him sideways: "Just say what you have to say, stop beating around the bush."

Seeing Lin Chen's gaze, Snail Orpheus shuddered, his anxiety growing. He hurriedly lowered his head: "M-Sir... there's a bar at that street corner ahead. I've seen it before when I passed by. Bars usually don't check IDs much; you should be able to stay there all night..."

Lin Chen looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, at the end of the dark alley, a warm yellow light was shining, which was particularly eye-catching in the deep night, and it looked like a shop that was open for business.
