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

He looked up at Youxing, his brows furrowed. "What did you say?"

He didn't understand why Yuuki would bring this up; investigating unusual situations was their responsibility.

"You will die."

Yuuki noticed Shotaro's expression, paused, and glanced at Philip.

The wind swirled up and set down the fallen leaves on the street, and someone honked their car horn in the distance. The wind itself seemed incredibly vibrant at that moment.

But after those words were spoken, Shotaro's expression gradually turned cold.

"You mean, you want me to sit in the office, do nothing, and wait for someone else to protect Fuuto?"

Shotaro's voice was unnaturally calm, hinting at the tipping point of anger.

Yuuki had a bit of a headache. He wanted to explain something, but Shotaro interrupted him.

“Listen carefully. I don’t know what your future will be like, but right now, I’m willing to give everything to protect Fengdu, even if it means dying.”

Philip stood beside Shotaro, who had just returned from the Earth Library, and his gaze softened as he looked at Yuuki.

"We may indeed die in the future, but that is our own choice. If we survive, it wouldn't be like us."

The name Kamen Rider carries so much weight.

"If Kamen Rider W had taken a detour after hearing that there was danger ahead, the wind would have died down long ago."

Shotaro put his hands into his suit pockets, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

"Therefore, it was inevitable that we would conduct an investigation."

He turned and walked down the steps, with Philip following behind him. After taking two steps, Philip stopped and looked back at Youxing.

"Since you're from the future, you should go back quickly. Staying here any longer isn't a good thing."

Yu Xing remained silent, but he quickly caught up with the two and stood in front of them.

“I’ll come along too. I want to see what you’re going to investigate.”

"Since you want to come, then follow me."

Shotaro and Philip did not refuse Yuuki's request, and the three of them walked forward together, but after taking only a few steps, the whole world froze instantly.

Time seemed to freeze completely. Yuuki realized that someone was manipulating time. Just as he was about to use the power of the watch, a hand gently touched his shoulder.

Instantly, Yu Xing felt a chill run down his spine, his sixth sense reaching its peak, frantically telling him that the person behind him was extremely dangerous!

"Hehehe, little mouse, I've finally caught you. I never thought you would dare to travel through time."

A deep male voice sounded behind Yuuki. Yuuki forcibly suppressed the urge to use the watch, as if she were being held in place and did not move.

"Since you've actually come to this era, if I had delayed any longer, I might not have been able to do anything about you."

Seeing that Youxing did not move, the man felt confident of victory and began to reveal the information little by little.

"However, since I've stopped you here, you should return what you stole."

After saying that, the hand that was on Yuuki's shoulder slowly moved down to Yuuki's chest.

There were two clock heads there, almost completely fused together.

Yuuki instantly remembered that the Otherworld Kuuga's watch head was taken from Daguba, and now, the person behind it all wanted to take it back from him.

Knowing what the person behind it all wanted to do, Youxing thought to herself, "What I've gained isn't so easy to take back!"

He quickly used the power of the watch head, and the originally fixed time became unstable due to the impact of the watch head.

Philip and Shotaro, who were beside him, immediately broke free from their control and turned around sharply to look behind Yuuki.

"Who goes there?!"

Amidst the two men's shouts, Yuuki turned around and punched the man squarely in the face.

"what!"

The sudden turn of events caught the man off guard. He covered his face and took two steps back. The fixed timer completely failed, and the surroundings returned to normal.

Only then did the group get a clear look at the man; he was wearing a black and red robe with gold patterns on it.

Only his face, which had been disfigured by Yu Xing's punch, looked somewhat ferocious.

"Damn it! I am the Time Jacker, Tid!"

Amidst Tide's anger, Yuuki decisively stepped back and stood with Philip.

Do you know this person?

The three looked at each other, their eyes conveying the same meaning.

After confirming that he didn't recognize the person in front of him, Philip suddenly found it interesting.

"As expected, it seems to be the one who tracked you, a person from the future, to our time."

With Philip's intelligence, he quickly realized this.

On the other side, Teed covered his face, the blood seeping between his fingers making his already sinister face look even more ferocious.

He stared intently at Yuuki, his eyes swirling with unbelievable rage.

"How dare you hit me?!"

His voice was very low, and each word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

Shotaro subconsciously reached into his suit pocket, his fingertips touching the memory chip.

He shifted half a step to the side, blocking Philip's path, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Tide and Yuxing.

"Hey, hey," Shotaro's tone was somewhat provocative, but his eyes never relaxed, "Traveling through time to chase people, and being so arrogant, what kind of gang are you on?"

Philip didn't speak. He had already closed the book and tucked it under his arm. With his other hand, he quietly pulled out the Lost Driver. Both of them were ready for battle.

“A time jacker?” Philip murmured, repeating the title Tide had given him, a thoughtful look on his face. “To be able to manipulate time… no wonder.”

Seeing that Yuuki didn't reply to him at all, Tede lowered his hand from his face. The wound that Yuuki's fist had torn open was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He scanned the three of them one by one, finally fixing his gaze on Shotaro: "Heh heh, no matter what, this little thief who stole my things must die here today!"

"Take it from me?"

Now, Yu Xing raised her chin before replying to Tide, her eyes showing no sign of backing down: "Now that this thing is in my hands, it's mine."

"If you want it, climb over and get it yourself."

"Insanity."

Yu Xing's words prompted Tede to utter two words. He suddenly raised his right hand, and a ball of dark purple light condensed in his palm before he swung it out.

"careful!"

Philip was the first to react; he grabbed Shotaro by the collar and pulled him aside.

Yuuki rolled to the other side at the same time, and the purple ball of light grazed his shoulder and hit the street lamp behind him.

The metal lamppost wasn't blown off; instead, it began to twist, age, and rust, as if it had instantly undergone decades of erosion.

“Time accelerates.” Philip’s expression changed slightly. “Being hit by that thing will cause you to age to death instantly.”

Tide chuckled and raised both hands simultaneously, causing more purple orbs of light to appear in his palms.

"You guessed right, but there's no reward."

Before he finished speaking, countless orbs of light poured down like a torrential rain.

Without further hesitation, Shotaro pulled out the memory chip, and Philip, in perfect sync with him, activated the other one at the same time.

Two beams of light exploded amidst a rain of purple light, gold and green intertwined, and Kamen Rider W made his appearance!

Chapter 153 Fight! Escape

"Kamen Rider W?"

Seeing the knight appear in the light and shadow, Teed showed no fear. He sneered and shouted loudly.

"Kamen Rider W, I advise you to leave. This is a personal grudge between me and him, separate from time itself. You don't need to get involved in this matter."

But W didn't reply. Instead, he changed form without hesitation, stretching his hand as long as putty, and struck at Tide.

As a top-tier Time Jacker, W's move didn't have much of an impact on Tide. He raised his hand in mid-air, and W's arm was frozen in mid-air.

"This is really tricky."

Realizing that he had lost control of his arm, Shotaro said in a low voice.

"The ability to manage time is very difficult."

Philip responded to Shotaro Satoshi in his mind.

"It's not easy for one person to deal with this guy."

The exchange between the two lasted only a moment. Before Tide could make any further moves, W looked up at Yuuki beside him.

"Hey, this guy's here to see you, so you should put in some effort, right?"

"You don't need to say anything more."

Yuuki replied immediately, and at the same time, the two intertwined watch heads began to throb in his chest.

Yuuki wasn't just standing there in a daze; she was using all her strength to activate the power of her Kuuga Watch.

Just from the moment they exchanged blows, Yuuki realized just how powerful the person before him truly was, and that he would have to use Kuuga's power this time.

As the clock ticked, a feeling of power began to spread from my chest to my internal organs and limbs.

Yuuki quickly transformed into a monster, with the cracks still present on his body constantly flashing black light.

"Ahhhh!!!"

With Yuuki's roar, Kuuga's power stacked on his body, a layer of illusory black shadow covered him, and countless black lines spread outward from his chest.

These patterns quickly covered Youxing's entire body. Above the sky, dark clouds rapidly gathered, and the warm weather vanished in the blink of an eye, followed by a downpour.

"I really don't like this kind of weather; the wind in the wind city can't even blow."

Standing in the downpour, W shielded his eyes and sighed softly.

"Enough with the nonsense, let's get started."
