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

Watching the group walk away, Bingchuan Xin turned back to look at Youxing and the others. Seeing that they had no intention of calling out to them, he resolutely stepped forward and called out to them.

"Don't leave yet, I have something to tell you!"

The benefactor's words made the people who were helping each other stop. They turned around in confusion, wondering what else Bingchuan Xin wanted to say.

"Although it's hard to say, I still want to tell you."

Glacier Letter swept across the weary faces of those people and told them the cruel truth: "The Fengdu of today is not the Fengdu of the past. Your family and friends may no longer be in this world!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone froze on the spot, like broken trees swaying in the wind.

"Are you kidding me?"

The tall, thin man coughed twice. They had finally escaped; how could they possibly be so unlucky?

"Yes, Xin-jun, don't try to fool us with those words!"

The tall, thin man's words were echoed by the others, who looked at Bingchuan Xin, hoping to hear from him that it was just a joke.

But Bingchuan Xin's expression was serious, and he had no intention of joking at all.

"I am telling you this so that you will not die in a confused state."

They went through a lot of effort to rescue these people. If they only focused on the rescue and ignored the follow-up matters, it would be no different from not rescuing them at all.

“I’m telling the truth. I hope you’ll consider it carefully. If you really have nowhere to go, you can continue to follow us. We still have a place to stay.”

Bingchuan Xin's idea is good, but not everyone will listen to him.

Of the fifty-odd people, only about ten stopped, while the rest shook their heads and slowly disappeared into the rain and mist.

Hikawa Shin wanted to stop them, but was pulled back by Hikawa Makoto from behind.

"Let them go. Their hearts aren't here. Even if you force them to stay, it won't make much of a difference."

You can't stop someone who wants to die, and Yuuki knows this better than anyone else.

Hikawa Shin opened his mouth, then fell silent.

Yu Xing is right. If they want to go back, there's nothing they can do to stop them unless they knock them out.

But that would only lead to the team falling apart.

"However, there are ways to save them if you want."

Yuuki patted Hikawa Shin on the shoulder, causing his eyes to light up.

What method is it?

He asked Yuxing for advice, and Yuxing looked at the sky and gave a solution: "That is to resolve this damn anomaly before anything happens to them."

As long as they resolve the anomaly in Fengdu first, those people will not encounter any accidents.

The idea was good, but Bingchuan Xin's lips twitched.

If they had that ability, they wouldn't have been lingering here for so long.

This goal is incredibly difficult.

He first sighed, then his gaze hardened.

"Although I know it's unlikely, since there's this method, I still want to give it a try."

He cheered himself up, and Hikawa Makoto and Yuuki, who had turned around, exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.

"It's good to have this confidence and courage, but we still need to work harder to achieve it."

After saying that, Yuuki walked towards the hotel, with Hikawa Makoto and Kagami following closely behind.

The police officers helped the refugees and led them behind Yuuki.

The group walked forward in the rain without saying a word.

Some things are useless to talk about; only doing them will make them useful.

Sonozaki Kirihiko stood alone outside the group, looking at the silent team, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"The Wind City is still the Wind City. I really hope that this city can regain its vitality."

He glanced at the rain in the sky, remained silent for a moment, and then quickly caught up with the group.

Yu Xing and the others appeared not far from the hotel, and in silence, they quickly returned to the vicinity of the hotel.

This time, however, they did not enter the hotel, but instead stood outside.

“Brother Youxing…”

Looking at everything before him, Bingchuan Xin's throat bobbed with shock.

Yu Xing's face turned even uglier; he saw the ruins.

The once magnificent hotel is now nothing but ashes; it vanished from the city of Fengdu.

But Yuuki's focus wasn't on the hotel; she was more interested in the people inside.

"Manatsu!!!"

Even someone as indifferent as Yuuki lost control of her emotions in an instant.

Black flames surged from his body, forming a colossal figure behind Youxing. As the flames danced, the monster's face also flickered, looking incredibly ferocious.

"Who is it?!"

Where is Zhenhong?! Why didn't they protect Zhenxia properly?! How did the hotel end up like this?!

Uncontrolled emotions caused the Kuuga Watch inside Yuuki's body to vibrate violently, and black light emanated from the two watches, making them seem to merge.

Yu Xing didn't care about any of that. He suppressed the dizziness and spread the wings on his back.

Amidst the shocked gazes of those behind her, Yuuki transformed into a blur and vanished from their sight in an instant.

Watching the black trail in the sky, Hikawa Makoto silently walked into the ruins and turned over the stones one by one.

The hotel not only housed Manatsu, but also a group of accompanying scientists, who were all treasures of the Metropolitan Police Department.

If those people die here, the Metropolitan Police Department will suffer a major blow.

"This is terrible."

Kagami also came up and searched with Hikawa Makoto in the rain.

The people being helped by the police officers were somewhat at a loss, completely unaware of what was happening.

"Let's go rest on the other side."

Knowing that only the living dead remained in the city, Bingchuan Xin didn't pay much attention to anything and led the group toward another hotel.

After everyone was settled, Hikawa Makoto and Kagami rejoined the group.

"There's nothing there, it's too blatant."

Hikawa Makoto shook his head; he found nothing there except ashes and rubble.

It's very strange that not even a trace of human bones or ashes could be found.

"It seems we won't find any more information. Let's wait for Yuuki to come back."

With no other option, Hikawa Makoto had to sit down and open the bag he was carrying.

"Take the food down and distribute it."

This is the food they took with them before they left; the rest they didn't take probably turned to ashes along with the hotel.

“There are people who need this food more than we do.”

Bingchuan Cheng glanced at the refugees and handed the backpack to Bingchuan Xin.

Glacier Xin nodded, grabbed his bag, and ran over to distribute water and food to the people.

With food and water provided, the hall came alive, and those who had received their share of water and food began to talk.

"What kind of thing could possibly transform a building like that?"

"I had heard before that there are monsters called Hybrids in Fengdu. They can destroy a building with ease, but there are always people stopping them."

"Is no one stopping those monsters now? Where are the people who were supposed to stop them?"

The whispers were hard to hear, so Hikawa Shinichi immediately turned his gaze to Sonozaki Kirihiko, who was standing to the side.

"come over."

As an eccentric, Sonozaki Kirihiko had very keen senses. The moment Hikawa Shin's gaze fell on him, he waved to Hikawa Shin.

Hikawa Shin walked over and was pulled by Sonozaki Kirihiko to the stairwell.

Sonozaki Kirihiko sat on the steps, looking at Hikawa Shin with a smile.

"what?!"

Bingchuan Xin felt a little uneasy under the stare. He took a step back and placed his hands on his waist.

"Don't worry, I just wanted to talk to you."

I won't listen.

Hikawa Shin instinctively felt that this was not a good thing. He took two steps back, preparing to leave, but was drawn in by a remark from Sonozaki Kirihiko.

"Don't you want to know who they're talking about as the one stopping the dopant?"

Bingchuan Xin paused, silently walked back, and closed the door to the stairwell as he did so.

"Was that person also a knight?"

Hikawa Shin shared his guess, and Sonozaki Kirihiko nodded.

"He was a guy who also loved Fuuto, but he disappeared after an incident."

"A lot happened in 09, and a lot happened in Fengdu as well."

Sonozaki Kirihiko recounted what happened back then.

In 09, Fengdu underwent an unprecedented reform, with the advent of memory chips. The X Foundation, lurking behind the scenes, attempted to unlock the secret of immortality.

W Rider appeared when the rampant dopants threatened the safety of the people of Fuuto. After fighting the dopants for a period of time, a strange dark cloud descended. W Rider went to investigate and eventually disappeared into it.

After hearing the whole story, Bingchuan Xin was in a daze: "How could such a powerful person disappear?"

"That guy, Shotaro Sato, would give his life for the wind."
