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

Neon lights flickered in the rain and fog. Looking at the closed door in front of him, the short, thin man rubbed his hands together, preparing to go up and knock.

But before he could knock, the door opened by itself.

In the center of the bar's dance hall, a group of people were sitting, their eyes fixed on the unexpected guest, Youxing.

Taking in the expressions of everyone in the room, Yuuki walked past the stunned duo and a smile appeared on her face.

"So you knew I was coming all along?"

"Of course, after all, in the current Fengdu, you are the only one who dares to hang high in the sky."

The man in the trench coat sat on the sofa in the middle, arms crossed, his face cold and indifferent.

"Are you the boss here?"

Yuuki looked at the man who was speaking and sensed a tremendous energy within his body.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Dao Keji. You can also call me a zombie... or a demon."

Daido Katsumi placed one leg on the table in front of him and reached out his hand to Yuuki.

Yuuki followed Daido Katsumi's gesture to the table and nodded at him with a smile.

Just when everyone thought that the exchange would go smoothly, a roar exploded in front of them, making them dizzy.

When the group regained their senses, Youxing's fist was firmly grasped in Da Dao Keji's palm.

The shockwave from the fight spilled the wine all over the table. Da Dao Keji didn't stop with his other hand; he casually picked up a bottle of wine that was still relatively intact from the table and gulped it down.

"Don't underestimate me, I'm a zombie, a real zombie."

But immense strength and immortality are merely the most insignificant qualities of the Great Dao's self-discipline.

"The probing is over, shouldn't we stop now?"

The wine dripped from Da Dao Keji's lips, and his eyes became increasingly clear.

Now only alcohol and fighting can give him a little stimulation; otherwise, his body is already numb.

Yu Xing sneered, shook off Dao Keji's hand, and sat down opposite Dao Keji with his sword held high.

"Tell me, why did you send two men to search for my friend?"

Yuuki's question made Daido Katsumi sit up slightly. He glanced at Yuuki and touched his chin.

"So you didn't know who your friend was?"

Yuuki's eyes narrowed. Without a doubt, the phrase "the way of self-discipline" perfectly described Manatsu, Sonozaki Manatsu.

"Let me tell you, so you won't be a fool."

Dao Keji knew many of Fuuto's secrets. He took another swig of wine and began to recount part of Manatsu's background.

"She can be said to be the most perfect experiment of the Sonozaki family, a perfect body created by the Sonozaki family themselves."

"She can swallow all the memories into her body if she wants; she possesses some of the characteristics of Earth's library."

"Or rather, she was originally part of the Earth Library, but the Sonozaki family somehow managed to separate her from the Earth Library and give her a human form."

Hehehe....

As he spoke, Da Dao Keji let out a low laugh.

"Now that she has been exposed, the Sonozaki family will do anything to get her, because now is the time for her to sacrifice herself."

These words made Yu Xing's heart tighten, and he immediately asked, "What do you mean?"

The woman sitting next to Da Dao Keji snorted coldly, thinking Youxing was somewhat foolish.

But Yu Xing didn't have time to pay attention to her; instead, she stared intently at Da Dao Keji.

Daido Katsumi held his head in his hands and leaned back: "Of course it means what you think. Now that the Earth Library is about to be taken over by the Sonozaki family, how could they possibly allow the Earth Library to be damaged?"

Of course, the final goal is for Manatsu to return to the Earth Library and fill in the missing parts.

"Then what's the point of their experiments?!"

Yu Xing frowned, her anger surging while she was also somewhat puzzled.

"Heh, of course it's to prove that the Earth Library is not perfect. As long as there is one person who can enter the Earth Library, they can devour this treasure that belongs to Earth through various means."

"And once they control the Earth Library, there will be nothing on Earth that they don't know."

"By then, we won't be able to stop them from doing whatever they want."

Da Dao Keji spread his hands, his face expressionless, as if he didn't care at all.

Upon learning this news, Yuuki's plans were disrupted, and he now decided to concentrate all his efforts on eliminating the Sonozaki family first.

"No wonder Miss Miwako wanted to escape the Sonozaki family, and had such a complicated expression when she learned that I was going to Fuuto."

Thinking to himself, he hurriedly got up to leave.

Just as he reached the door, Da Dao Keji called out to him from behind.

"Hey, how about we team up? After all, I don't want to see this city disappear from history completely."

Yuuki turned around, and Daido Katsumi and the others all stood up, their black and red clothes standing out against the colorful lights of the bar.

“I’ve done a lot of bad things in the past, but this time, it seems there’s only one way to go no matter what.”

Yuuki didn't say anything, but simply gave Daido Katsumi a thumbs up, then spread his wings and quickly disappeared into the night.

"This guy really isn't afraid of anything in the sky."

Watching Yuuki leave so casually, Daido Katsuki looked up at the sky, and a gust of wind blew by, causing his clothes to flutter gently.

"The wind in this windy city is really terrible."

The gust of wind did not make Da Dao Keji happy in the slightest. Even though his emotions had long since disappeared, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Boss, speaking of which, it seems we deserve some credit for how the wind has turned out this way."

The tall, strong man walked up behind Da Dao Keji, scratched his face, and said softly.

Hearing this, even Da Dao Keji was speechless for a moment. Fortunately, the short and thin man was quick-witted. After giving Da Dao Keji an awkward laugh, he quickly dragged the tall and strong man away.

"Are you stupid? Why are you saying these things in front of the boss?! We're here to save the righteous people of Fengdu!"

The short, thin man's reprimand was not concealed, and Da Dao Keji's lips curled into a slight smile.

There was a time when he didn't want to save Wind City; he even wanted to turn everyone in Wind City into zombies, making them like himself.

But now...

Da Dao Keji's expression was somewhat complicated.

His idea subtly changed after he saw those people parasitized by mechanical insects.

"What I want is definitely not that kind of fancy city."

Firmly believing in his convictions, Da Dao and self-disciplined themselves as they stepped into the rain, with the others following behind.

The last two, seeing their leader leave, quickly stopped what they were doing and caught up.

A group of people dressed in black and red silently moved toward the location of Sonozaki Manor.

Before Yuuki could make any preparations, Daido Katsumi decided to keep interfering with the Sonozaki family and slowing down their progress.

As for how to stop it...

Dao Keji looked at the short blade in his hand and casually slashed it into the void to the side.

A spatial rift opened up, revealing a pitch-black interior filled with endless void turbulence.

With his abilities, the space of the Sonozaki Manor posed no problem for him whatsoever.

......

Meanwhile, Yuuki was unaware of the immense convenience that Daido Katsumi and his group had brought him. He quickly returned to the hotel and found Manatsu, who was squatting on the ground, lost in thought.

The others had already been arranged to stay in their respective rooms by Makoto Hikawa, but Manatsu was the only one who refused to go upstairs and waited in the lobby with Shinku for Yuuki to return.

Manatsu's eyes lit up slightly when she saw Yuuki return.

This made Yuuki unable to resist ruffling her head, but Yuuki still knew what was important and what was urgent. After simply comforting Manatsu, he told the few people who were still on guard in the hall about the information he had obtained.

Yuuki's news caused Hikawa Makoto's expression to change slightly, and his brows furrowed again, which made Kagami chuckle softly beside him.

"Since we arrived here, it seems like none of us have had a single day of relaxation."

Every message was extremely bad; they couldn't hear any good news here.

"There are still some, and the good news is that our manpower losses are not severe."

Yuuki thought for a moment and then told everyone this relatively good news.

Since they entered Fengdu, thanks to Youxing's timely reminders, they have avoided falling into many pitfalls along the way.

"Let's think about how to eliminate the Sonozaki family first, otherwise this good news will probably turn into bad news soon."

There was always a hint of worry between Bingchuan Cheng's brows.

If the Sonozaki family's plan succeeds, then there will be no difference between them being alive and dead.

"Don't worry, I think our strength is quite good. Just make sure you protect Manatsu."

He pushed Manatsu forward, but she shook her head, her face full of pride: "I don't need protection."

Yuuki almost forgot that even he himself couldn't detect any clues about Manatsu's abilities. He was taken aback at first, then smiled sheepishly.

"However, I think we really need to hurry."

Manatsu is having some troubles.

"what happened?"

Manatsu immediately said, "I can hear people crying, so many people are crying."

"And these cries made me feel a little flustered."

Yuuki immediately realized that the situation at the Earth Library was not good, which was why it affected Manatsu, making him even more anxious.

"Where is that kid Bingchuan Xin?"

Yu Xing searched around but couldn't find Bingchuan Xin, so she asked Bingchuan Cheng.

"He rushed out, saying he wanted to investigate by himself and couldn't just sit here and wait to die."
