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

"Why did you stop talking?"

Seeing that Yuuki stopped halfway through his sentence, Rin Ichijo was completely confused and found it rather strange.

Pulling herself out of her thoughts, Yuuki continued, "In short, this is probably not an easy place to get along with."

"We'll come to your house and take a look."

Yuuki's thoughts were jumping around too fast, and before Rin could figure out what was going on, Yuuki grabbed her.

When he tried to grab Yuuki again as before, he found that Yuuki was incredibly strong.

"Alright, stop fooling around. I only used a small portion of my power."

Amidst the swirling yellow sand, Yuuki transformed into a tornado, crashing through the Metropolitan Police Department's wall and carrying him straight into the sky.

"Where is your home? We don't have much time left."

Swept up in the wind by Yuuki, Rin struggled to move his body and pointed in one direction.

Having determined the direction, Yuuki, carrying Rin, swept away into the sky.

In just a short while, the two arrived at Rin's house, a high-rise apartment.

The two floated outside the apartment window, and it was the first time Rin had seen the interior of her home from this perspective.

"Crackling and popping."

Before Rin could take a second look, Yuuki smashed through the glass and rushed inside. Glass shards scattered on the table by the window, covering the notes on it with fragments.

Rin immediately cried out in distress, "My notebook!"

This made Yuuki turn around sharply, his body quickly solidifying as he picked up the notebook from the table.

"do not move!"

Before it could even be opened, Rin rushed over and snatched the notebook back.

Yu Xing was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised: "It seems there are some unspeakable secrets involved."

Seeing that the notebook was undamaged, Rin Ichijo breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Yuuki and said, "It's just some ordinary content. There's nothing interesting in it, and you definitely won't find what you're looking for."

"Row."

Since Rin Ichijo wouldn't let him see, Yuuki didn't ask too many questions. He then started wandering around the small apartment of about 20 square meters and finally found a broken piece of furniture on the leg of the table.

"Is this the paper from your notebook?"

He picked up the piece of paper and asked leisurely.

Rin leaned closer to Yuuki, looking at the piece of paper suspiciously. After comparing it, he nodded: "It is indeed a piece of paper from my notebook."

"But I clearly remember not tearing out any pages from my notebook."

"That's right."

The writing on the broken corner was already blurred and illegible. Knowing that it was worthless, Youxing decisively threw it aside.

"I'm just using this to convey one thing to you: things here aren't what you think they are."

“I guess in your eyes, there’s nothing unusual about this city, maybe just the occasional crime.”

Rin Ichijo seemed to be thinking. Yuuki was right; in his opinion, the city was peaceful most of the time.

"Have you ever thought that after a certain period of time, the world will be reset, and you will be back to a state where you know nothing?"

With a few words, Yuuki transported Rin to a world that felt unfamiliar to him. He looked at Yuuki and asked, "So what are you? You're not some kind of guide, are you? Someone who selects qualified people to enter a new world?"

"You have quite a vivid imagination."

Yuuki found Rin's thought process somewhat amusing: "I'm just here to rescue you."

"Such a world is abnormal in itself; it is clearly a fabrication."

Yu Xing shrugged: "You were originally from the outside world, but you've probably been trapped for too long and forgotten everything."

As for why Rin Ichijo ultimately remained a police officer, that's due to his own personality.

Even though he lost all his memories, he was still a person with a strong sense of justice.

Is that so?

Rin took some of Yuuki's words to heart, but he didn't believe them entirely, since he still needed to make his own judgments.

"So what should we do next?"

The situation was beyond her comprehension, so Rin decisively asked Yuuki for help.

"What should we do? Of course, we should go and find out what's going on. Since you tore out pages from your notebook, it proves that there must be something in this city that you can discover."

His body was split in two, and Yuuki's head hung upside down from the ceiling as he spoke to Rin.

"If you can find it, there's no reason why we can't find it together."

"Then let's go take a look together."

Out of a tiny bit of trust in Yuuki, Rin Ichijo decided to believe Yuuki's words for the time being.

"But before that, I need to take care of things with the Metropolitan Police Department."

Yuuki just brought him out by smashing through a door and wall; such a terrifying scene will undoubtedly cause a huge reaction within the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Then make a wish on my behalf first."

Yuuki clung to Rin Ichijo, and for the Den-O meter to unleash its full power, someone had to make a wish upon it.

After all, he was an Otherworldly being, not the real Lord of Lightning.

"Make a wish?"

Rin Ichijo frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Literal meaning."

Yuuki's head was hanging upside down from the ceiling, but her body was still standing on the ground. This strange posture made Rin Ichijo a little dizzy, but Yuuki did not stop.

"My form should be called an Otherworldly God. I can only exert my power through human wishes, but you can only make one wish."

Rin was silent for a few seconds, then took a deep breath, his gaze falling on the tattered piece of paper on the corner of the table: "If what you said is true, then my wish is..."

When Rin made a wish, Yuuki's body returned to normal, turning him into a sand-like person.

"I hope that everyone in this city who is forced to stay in a time loop can know the truth and have the right to leave."

The instant Rin Ichijo made her wish, Yuuki's body erupted with intense golden light, which then quickly surged towards Rin Ichijo's body.

Rin Ichijo felt as if she was suffocating, but in less than three seconds, all the sand grains were inside her body.

"Uh."

After the sand grains had completely penetrated, Rin suddenly straightened up, his eyes changed, and a faint golden halo appeared deep in his pupils.

Having gained control of Rin's body, Yuuki looked down at his hands: "Looks pretty good."

Yu Xing moved her hands and picked up the fragment from the ground: "I can use the special nature of this power to find clues."

Soon, the fragment emitted a faint glow in Rin's hand, then was swept up by a gust of wind and drifted out the window.

"Walk?"

Watching the fragments gradually disappear into the distance, Yuuki asked Rin Ichijo.

"speed."

Rin Ichijo was also eager to know the answer, and he immediately replied.

As the two flew through the sky, Yu Xing frowned as he sensed the depletion of his power: "We might have to use it sparingly. At this rate of power consumption from flying, I'm afraid I'll have to go back to my old self soon."

The energy expenditure here far exceeds that outside, and Yuuki realizes that he can only exert one of his three powers here.

"Let's go and see what's going on."

Rin didn't respond directly, but shut Yuuki up with a single sentence.

When they arrived at the location of the fragments, they discovered that it was a dilapidated small building.

Yu Xing decisively stepped forward, pushed open the door of the small building, and then quickly went upstairs.

The hallway was filled with dust, the stairs creaked, and in the glass windows of the small shops at the end of the third-floor corridor, all the clocks were stopped at 10:07.

This bizarre situation made Yuuki scratch his chin: "Could it be that 10:07 has some special meaning?"

"I come."

Just as Yuuki was pondering, Rin forcefully pushed Yuuki offline and kicked open the door of the long-abandoned shop.

The moment Rin pushed open the shop door, dust rushed in. He dodged it and covered his mouth and nose with his hand.

The shop was even darker than the hallway, with a few rays of light squeezing in through the gaps in the torn curtains, illuminating the dust particles flying in the air.

Rin looked around and found that there were clocks everywhere.

The wall in front is covered with all kinds of old-fashioned wall clocks, the counter displays pocket watches and wristwatches, and there are several grandfather clocks piled up in the corner, most of which are rusted or damaged.

Without exception, the hands of all the clocks were stopped at 10:07, as if time itself had completely frozen in this shop.

"Search separately."

Rin lowered his voice, though he knew there couldn't possibly be anyone else here.

Yu Xing separated from his body, solidified, and stood in front of the counter: "There are at least thirty or forty hours here. Do you have any clue?"

Rin didn't answer. After searching around, he went straight to a wooden wall clock on the innermost wall.

That clock was the oldest model, with carved details on the edge of the face, and it looked like the most valuable one in the whole store.

Rin moved a worn-out chair to her feet, stepped onto it, and reached out to take it.

But just as his fingertips touched the clock face, there was a "crack" under his feet, the chair leg broke, and he fell backward.

Noticing the situation, Yu Xing's dust instantly swept over and supported his back, preventing him from falling onto the broken glass and rusty iron pieces scattered on the ground.

"Be careful, things here have been sitting for too long, nothing here is reliable."

Rin Ichijo kicked aside the broken chair after regaining her balance, glanced at Yuuki, and said, "Now I'm sure we might be friends."

Youxing smiled and dragged over a sturdier low cabinet.

This time, Rin managed to take the clock down smoothly. The clock wasn't heavy, but the wooden casing was a bit cracked. He put it on the counter and examined it carefully by the light coming through the window cracks.
