As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider

Lin Chen didn't chase after him. He simply bent down, picked up a piece of broken glass from the ground, and twirled it lightly between his fingers. He looked up at the heavy alloy door at the far end of the laboratory, on which was printed a familiar logo—Smart Brain.

"Smart Brain... I see."

A dangerous smile curled at the corner of his mouth as he casually tossed out a shard of glass, which pierced the back of the last Orphnoch that was trying to escape.

"Looks like I need to visit some 'old acquaintances' first. I need to figure out which world this is," Lin Chen muttered to himself. But before that, he had other things to do.

Open the system panel.

Seeing that his system was in a damaged state and the evolution points column had turned into garbled text, Lin Chen realized that the dream he had before waking up this time was not a dream.

In that dream, he was lying on what looked like an operating table, with two strange figures doing something to him.

He could only make out its outline. A man wearing a hat was watching from the side, striking a cool pose, which made Lin Chen realize that the guy was Shotaro.

As for the other one, it's obvious it's Philip.

In the dream, Philip was wearing a mask and a white coat, holding a scalpel and constantly cutting something in Lin Chen's consciousness.

Then he woke up immediately.

Thinking of this, the dimensional wall beside him opened directly, and he reached in to take out the evolution memory. Regardless of where he was, he pressed the switch on the memory and his consciousness entered the consciousness space.

The woman, formed from Earth's consciousness, seemed to have known he was coming and was already waiting for him.

Lin Chen immediately questioned, "What did you do to me?"

Upon hearing Lin Chen's question, Earth replied, "You've already realized it? It seems the connection between the two of you is deeper than I imagined."

"Stop talking nonsense and answer my question." Lin Chen was getting impatient. Ever since he had examined him, this guy had been acting strangely.

"Nothing much, just a minor surgery," the woman said.

"Minor surgery?" Lin Chen's mind was full of questions.

However, he couldn't help but sigh, the Knight World is really ridiculous, they can even touch something as ethereal as a system.

“It’s not something ethereal or unreal,” the woman said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen realized that in this consciousness space, the other person could directly sense what the two of them were thinking.

So he quickly shut his mind and stopped himself from thinking wildly.

However, the woman ignored Lin Chen's subtle attempt to shut himself off and continued, "Actually, that's not a system. No, that's just what you perceive it to be. But I can't explain to you exactly what it is."

Just know this: if you continue using that thing to become stronger, the consequences will be no less harmful than if I let you use the evolutionary memory to keep evolving this time.

Hearing this, Lin Chen frowned.

The woman continued, "I'm sure you've already sensed it and taken precautions without me having to remind you. The origin of that thing is very suspicious."

Otherwise, if you keep using it, in my world, and in the previous Faiz world, you could use it to reach the level of power you had in that previous fake world.

Hearing this, Lin Chen remained silent.

He knew, of course, that the system's origins were highly questionable, whether you called it paranoia or something else.

After his lifespan stabilized, he minimized his use of the system. This is also why he wanted to obtain the Evolution Memory in the W world and planned to hunt the King in Faiz—he wanted to use the Evolution Memory to replace the system's function, while the King's power would allow him to live indefinitely.

"Can you tell me why only the part about evolution points is sealed? Are the others okay?" Lin Chen asked.

"Evolutionary points? So that's what you remember them as." Earth's consciousness said with a sudden realization, "We don't know what those things are, we only know that some unknown force has been slowly merging into your body."

If it were just residual power, that wouldn't be a bad thing. The key issue is that there's something else mixed in with that power. If you continue to use it, you might eventually become the master of a replica of that power.

But those things have already merged with those forces and cannot be separated.

So we simply cut off that mass of power along with those other things, temporarily sealing it away. I'll use the Evolutionary Memory to filter out the impurities from that power, and then slowly let it integrate into your body. At least that will provide some protection."

"So that's how it is," Lin Chen murmured to himself.

Although it may be hiding something else, if an entity like Earth's consciousness has bad intentions towards me, I can't stop it. I might as well just accept it as it is.

At least according to her, the system's hidden dangers have been eliminated, and she can now consider the system as something entirely her own.

Although the system of earning evolution points by defeating monsters has been abolished, it doesn't really matter. Evolution Memory can completely replace the function of evolution points. Moreover, evolution memory is something he knows, which makes him trust it more than something unknown like the system.

Chapter 248 Monster Paradise

Lin Chen, after exiting the consciousness space, realized that he was completely naked, which was extremely embarrassing.

He instinctively covered his lower body with both hands, then slapped his head, opened the dimensional barrier, pulled out a set of clothes, and quickly changed into them.

Although I spent a considerable amount of time in the consciousness space, only a moment passed in reality.

The lab alarm has gone off, and I wonder what other big trouble awaits me.

Lin Chen quickly found an elevator. Looking at the metal nameplate on the elevator wall and the familiar control panel, the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.

"Isn't this the elevator that leads from the underground laboratory of the Faiz world's Hanagata to the surface?"

The elevator numbers jumped one by one, and finally we arrived at the ground floor.

The door opened, and Lin Chen stepped out, a strange feeling creeping into his heart. Someone had clearly pressed the alarm button just now, so why hadn't any armed personnel arrived? Had the security at the AI ​​company become this lax?

The fact that no one was around was bad news for him.

Why didn't he use the dimensional barrier to jump through space and leave that place? It's because his body was inexplicably used as an experimental subject, soaking in that damned jar, and he's really holding a grudge.

But good news soon followed: as soon as he turned the corner, a large group of heavily armed men rushed in. The dark muzzles of their guns were pointed directly at him.

"Don't move! Hands up!"

Seeing this, Lin Chen's lips curled into a slight smile. He had already sensed that these guys in front of him were all Orphnochs.

He understood that this world was definitely not the Faiz world he had experienced. Before the final battle began, almost all the members of the AI ​​company had been transformed into humans.

But now, in my perception, not only these armed personnel in front of me, but all the life forms in the entire building are not human.

Oh, wait a minute.

At this moment, he sensed several different fluctuations, belonging to the human life level. But they seemed to be running wildly.

Lin Chen didn't care. The fake world of the knight battle seemed to have turned on a switch within him, and now he just wanted to cause a ruckus.

He pulled an Orga belt directly from the dimensional barrier, fastened it around his waist, and faced the group of armed personnel who looked like they were facing a formidable enemy:

"bring it on……"

"Complete!"

Dark golden photon veins spread throughout his body, covering the Earth Emperor's armor layer by layer. Crimson compound eyes lit up on his mask. Lin Chen moved his wrists, and the Earth Emperor Sword pointed diagonally at the ground.

"Let me vent."

Before he could finish speaking, and before he could even make a move...

These people—no, the guy on the other side, I couldn't tell if he was a squad leader or something—shouted out: "Wait! It's the Emperor's Belt, stop!"

Upon hearing his order, all the armed men put away their weapons and stood at attention.

The guy who looked like a squad leader also put away his weapon, trotted up to Lin Chen, and said, "Smith Marseille, sir."

He bowed deeply at a 180-degree angle.

This left Lin Chen completely bewildered: Aren't they going to fight anymore? He really wanted to vent his frustration.

However, one shouldn't hit a smiling face. Lin Chen withdrew his attack stance, patted the man's shoulder, and without reverting to his transformation, walked out step by step until he was almost at the end of the corridor.

Lin Chen looked at them. The squad leader, who had already straightened up, bent down again when he saw Lin Chen turn around. Lin Chen's lowered lips twitched.

Then he directly inputted the kill command into the Emperor's Belt, and the Emperor's Sword swept out a golden light, cleaving the entire passage and the armed personnel within it in two. The bowing squad leader fared even worse, being split in two from the side, directly above his head.

The group of armed men looked at Lin Chen, all of them showing surprise.

Lin Chen didn't expect the company's senior management to do this so suddenly, but he didn't care about them. They were already Orphino, so what was there to say?

Although I don't know why they stopped fighting just now, it's obvious these guys mistook me for someone else.

But he didn't care about all that. That sword strike had made him feel much better, so he deactivated his transformation. However, as soon as he deactivated, he sensed that the life fluctuations belonging to the humans were decreasing.

Realizing this, he immediately opened the dimensional barrier and jumped towards the location of those people.

The dimensional barrier unfolded, and Lin Chen took a step out. He didn't know if it was because his body had been in the jar for too long, but he felt a bright light so strong that he couldn't open his eyes.

But this situation didn't last long; he soon adapted to the bright light.

In the open-air plaza, several people dressed like mercenaries were being chased by a group of Orphnochs.

Strangely, despite the monsters attacking humans, the men and women sitting under the open-air sunshade continued to laugh and joke and play as usual.

But Lin Chen's expression turned serious.

In his perception, within a radius of several hundred meters centered on him, there were only a few humans being chased in front of him, and the rest were all Orphnochs.

Just as he was about to transform, the roar of motorcycles sounded in the distance.

A familiar figure rode up on a sidecar motorcycle. He recognized the familiar outfit at a glance; it was Masato Kusaka.

With a quick drift, Kusaka Masato brought the motorcycle to a stop, removed his helmet, and put the Caesar belt around his waist, completing his transformation.

Then he rushed over to the group and, like beating up children, quickly dealt with the Orphnochs who were ganging up on the mercenaries, punching them one by one.
