Bad luck plagues him, he refuses to become a Kamen Rider.

Soon, the police arrived, and she was taken out of the alley. Everything here would then become a secret.

…………

Under the cover of night

Yuuki quickly arrived at the World Tree Foundation. The place was still brightly lit at night, and three people were waiting at the entrance.

Among them, Guihu and Eiji were talking in hushed tones, neither of them looking too good.

Meanwhile, Kouta Kazuha was sitting on a bench nearby, lost in thought.

Hearing footsteps, the three of them looked up at the same time.

Upon seeing Yuuki, Takato visibly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly approached her.

"Where were you teleported to? We thought you didn't come back with us."

"Not far away, in an alley, I easily took care of an alien."

Yu Xing brushed it off lightly, not wanting to talk about it any further.

He countered with, "And you?"

"I was teleported directly to the entrance of the World Tree Foundation."

Guihu rubbed his temples, genuinely surprised that he and his companions were treated differently from Youxing.

Could it be that this person really has some kind of protagonist's halo?

Guihu's gaze secretly swept over Youxing once, leaving Youxing feeling somewhat bewildered.

"Is there a problem?"

He asked, and Guihu shook his head.

This made Yuuki smile helplessly. He pulled Takatora towards the conglomerate, and Eiji and Kouta quickly followed.

"There are some things you need to know. Come in and let's talk."

The four of them went straight to the top floor and stood by the transparent floor-to-ceiling window. Youxing pressed her hand to her chest and said something surprising.

"The White King gave me something, the Golden Fruit."

The moment she finished speaking, Yuuki looked up at the three of them.

At that moment, Takatora's expression froze on his face, Eiji's pupils suddenly contracted, and only Kouta Kuzuha was somewhat confused.

"What is that?"

He scratched his head in confusion, but was startled by Guihu's voice beside him.

"Golden Fruit!"

Guihu was utterly shocked and grabbed Youxing's shoulder: "He gave that thing to you?!"

"Keep your voice down."

Yuuki was both amused and exasperated by Guihu's commotion.

"What exactly happened?"

Eiji asked, and Yuuki told him everything she knew.

"Can your body handle it?"

Guihu looked Youxing up and down with some concern: "That thing before caused you a lot of pain, this thing..."

Yu Xing waved her hand: "It's okay, I can feel that it hasn't affected my body."

Yuuki could sense that although the power of the Golden Fruit was immense, it always maintained a barrier between him and his body; it was merely being temporarily stored by the White King with Yuuki.

This relieved Guihu: "That's good. It would have been terrible if something had gone wrong."

The current Yuxing is no less than a nuclear warhead.

If the enormous energy were to explode, it would be enough to destroy the entire city of Zeya.

Are you worried about me or about Zeya City?

Seeing Guihu's appearance, Youxing couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, we have both."

Guihu claimed that he was innocent and that he was a compassionate person.

"Let's not talk about that. How's the situation in Zeya City lately?"

Upon hearing Guihu's words, a vein bulged on Youxing's forehead, and he quickly changed the subject.

This was in Guihu's familiar territory, and there happened to be a computer nearby, so Guihu quickly pulled up the latest data.

The screen was covered with red dots, each dot representing an event in which an alien appeared.

"The situation is much better than before. The Otherworlder game is basically over, and all known locks and drivers have been recycled."

"However, some areas were not controlled in time, resulting in some casualties."

The screen then switches to several photos, which are records of injuries suffered by victims attacked by the aliens, most of which are minor.

"We must intensify our cleanup efforts."

Looking at the situation on the map, Yu Xing's voice turned cold: "We can't close all the rifts, but we must at least reduce the number of aliens in Zeya City to a minimum."

Guihu nodded: "I will continue to arrange for the conglomerate's armored squads to carry out the cleanup."

With Guihu's assurance, Youxing felt relieved and bumped fists with everyone in turn.

"Everyone is tired, let's get some rest."

Amidst farewells, the group parted ways.

After leaving the World Tree Foundation, Kouta Kuzuha walked down the street in a daze.

As the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased, Kouta Kazuha walked alone on his way back to the dance troupe's rehearsal hall, his pace much slower than usual, his mind filled with Kaito's last silhouette.

"Humans can actually turn into monsters..."

Kota Kuzuha clenched his fists, somewhat unsure of what to do next.

"Are you worried?"

A hand suddenly landed on his shoulder, and Kouta Kazuha turned around sharply, only to find that Yuuki had followed them without him noticing.

"Mr. Yuanye..."

"Just call me Yuxing."

Yuxing walked to his side and walked alongside him on the empty sidewalk.

"What, thinking about quitting fighting?"

Yuuki casually asked, and Kuzuha Kouta remained silent for a moment before nodding.

"I'm wondering, if we continue to use belts, will we end up like him someday?"

Yuuki did not answer immediately.

It wasn't until the two had walked half a street that Yuuki suddenly asked.

Are you scared?

Kouta Kazuha paused for a moment, then nodded honestly: "I'm scared."

How could he not be afraid? He was only human, and the thought of turning into a monster filled him with an indescribable fear.

"This is what I told you, there's a problem with the belt."

Yuuki turned her head and glanced at Kouta Kuzuha.

Do you want to continue using it?

Kouta turned to look at him, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

"Actually, becoming a monster isn't scary."

Seeing Kouta's expression, Yuuki smiled.

"As long as there are still people who remember you, and your nature has not changed because of the monster, then you are still human."

"I don't know what the future holds for humanity."

Yu Xing's voice was somewhat muffled by the wind.

"But I know one thing: as long as there are still people who are willing to hold onto those around them, willing to remember their names, and willing to keep going even when they are afraid, that's enough."

Kouta Kuzuha was stunned and stood there, watching Yuuki's figure walk further and further away.

"Keep going, juniors, don't be afraid of the future."

The sound was drawn out as Yuuki waved and gradually disappeared from Kouta's sight.

A moment later, a gust of wind blew by, and the silent Kouta Kuzuha suddenly smiled. He had figured something out, strode forward, and soon disappeared into the street.

Chapter 109 News from Fengdu

With proper arrangements, everything proceeded smoothly. Under Guihu's coordination, the entire conglomerate transformed into a single war machine, swiftly crushing through the entire city of Zeya.

Dozens of armored squads were stationed around the clock, and the intelligence department worked around the clock. Some aliens were quickly wiped out as soon as they appeared, and the entire Zeya City entered a rare period of peace.

As time passed, only a few days remained before our departure for the capital.

World Tree Foundation Top

Yuxing, holding a sparkling water, sat leisurely on the leather sofa next to her, while Guihu tossed a stack of documents onto the table in front of her.

"I've finished compiling the recent situation in Zeya City. Would you like to take a look at it again?"

Yuuki finished the orange sparkling water she was holding in one gulp and gave Guihu a thumbs up.

"It's really efficient, but I don't watch it."

"Then what are you doing here? You don't do anything, you don't even look at the things, but you're quite good at assigning tasks to people."

Guihu was quite helpless about Youxing's hands-off management. He plopped down next to Youxing and slumped there like Ge You in a relaxed posture.

"The conglomerate is yours, I'm just here to mooch a couple of free bottles of sparkling water."
