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

“I can let you do whatever you want outside, but here you have to listen to me.”

With his supernatural abilities suppressed, Yuuki gradually regained most of his composure and spoke with a hint of fierceness.

Rin didn't speak, but she keenly caught the fleeting fear in Yuuki's eyes, a fear that was being suppressed.

Rin had seen this look in his eyes far too many times. He asked softly, "What are you afraid of?"

"I do not have."

Yuuki stood up, knowing he couldn't hide his emotions from Ichijo Rin, so he turned his head away from looking at him.

"You're afraid something will happen to me."

Rin Ichijo propped herself up from the sofa, revealing the truth.

Yu Xing tightened her grip but remained silent.

He was somewhat scared because he had already lost some friends.

He still remembered how Shotaro looked when he buried him, so he couldn't afford to lose Rin as well.

"In short, you absolutely cannot leave this apartment. Get some rest and wait for me to come back!"

No longer wanting to argue with Rin Ichijo, Yuuki made a firm decision, fearing that he might be persuaded by Rin.

Then, he jumped out of the window again.

Rin hurriedly gave chase, but could only hear the whistling wind; Yuuki's figure vanished in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the brightly lit Tokyo, Rin Ichijo narrowed her eyes slightly and snorted softly, "Does that mean I really won't go just because you don't want me to?"

Yuuki may say one thing, but he can do what he wants! After all, Yuuki didn't forcibly imprison him.

With that thought in mind, Rin walked quickly toward the door, but after going halfway there, he quickly turned back and came to the clothes rack.

Looking at the police uniform hanging on the clothes rack, Rin took a deep breath and turned back to the sofa.

Lifting up the sofa, Rin tore open the bottom of it.

As a large amount of sponge burst out, a small box inside also fell out.

"I think this is the time for you to come in handy."

Open the box; inside was a gun and two magazines.

Picking up the gun, Rin carefully examined it.

"No wonder the first thing in my notebook tells me that there's a gun hidden here."

Unlike ordinary police equipment, this gun has a very short front end, and when the magazine is pulled out, the bullets inside are sharper.

"Nerve relaxation bullet..."

Inserting the gun into the inside of his trench coat, and taking the remaining two magazines, Rin pushed open the door and disappeared into the apartment.

Meanwhile, using the power of the Otherworldly God, Yuuki arrived at the brightly lit commercial district in just a few leaps.

Perched atop a building on the edge of the commercial district, Yuuki looked down at the still brightly lit streets below.

Neon signs intertwined to form a colorful sea of ​​light, the incandescent lights of the convenience store reflected the figures of two or three people returning home late at night, and a few drunk office workers were gathered around the barbecue stall.

Everything seemed normal, but Yuuki knew that this place had been completely destroyed once before.

"Let me see if there's anything going on here."

Yuuki opened her senses and began to take in everything around her.

But after a moment, Yuuki felt nothing. He opened his eyes and frowned.

"Could it be that my perception has been weakened because my abilities were sealed?"

Unable to figure out the problem, Yuuki straightened up and looked toward the area where Den-O had been kicked away in his memory.

It's a large shopping mall that's still in operation now. After thinking about it, he decided to go and investigate it in person.

He jumped from the rooftop and landed lightly in an alleyway on the side of the mall.

Pushing open the side door of the mall, Youxing arrived at the freight elevator. Compared to other places, this place was very dark, with only the freight elevator making a humming sound.

"It seems like the spot where he was kicked in is around here..."

Recalling the situation at the time, Yuuki kept scanning the narrow passageway.

Unfortunately, there was nothing there; it was just an ordinary passageway.

Time rewind reset everything here, leaving nothing behind, not even the slightest trace.

As the floor indicator buttons on the freight elevator continued to descend, Yuuki stood quietly beside the elevator, waiting.

Yuuki felt that Another Den-O couldn't possibly have remained inactive for such a long time. Could it be that Another Den-O came here just to hide?

Yu Xing didn't believe it.

"Ding."

The freight elevator arrived at the first floor, the elevator doors opened, and a man pulling a cart walked out. Upon seeing Yuuki, the man pulling the cart was clearly stunned for a moment.

"Sir, this is a cargo passage; tourists are not allowed to enter."

The freight elevator doors slowly closed behind the man, making a dull "click" sound.

Yuuki stood still, her gaze fixed on the other person.

The man was around forty years old, wearing a drab work uniform with oil stains on the cuffs. Several cardboard boxes were piled on his cart, making him look no different from any other night shift porter in a shopping mall.

"gentlemen?"

Seeing that Yuuki was looking him up and down, the man was a little confused.

Yuxing made no attempt to hide her gaze from the man, showing no embarrassment whatsoever. This unusual behavior caused the man's expression to darken.

It was in that instant that Yuuki noticed the man's unusual behavior.

Seeing the fleeting red glint in the man's eyes, Youxing felt a surge of joy and a smile appeared on her face.

"Sorry, I was looking for the restroom, but I wandered into this place by mistake."

"I'll leave right now."

Amidst his repeated apologies, Yuuki turned to leave, but he wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he took a few steps slowly toward the exit of the passage, then stopped at the corner and listened intently.

Seeing Youxing leave, the man pushing the cart stood there expressionless, tilting his head slightly.

Should we kill him?

The man spoke softly, but soon shook his head, sighed, and pushed the cart away.

Seeing the man gradually disappear into the distance, Youxing gritted her teeth, turned around, and went back.

He tiptoed along the wall to the entrance of the freight elevator and peeked inside.

And in that instant, she met the man who had turned around.

"Heh heh heh, you really aren't normal."

The man's eyes were bloodshot, and his mouth was twisted in a terrifying grin.

"Since you've come here with such intent, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Knowing that her concealment skills were too poor and that the man had seen through her, Yuuki had no choice but to walk out from around the corner.

Seeing Youxing walk out, the man turned around.

Under the hallway lights, his body suddenly swelled up, his work clothes were torn to shreds in an instant, revealing dark red octopus-like tentacles underneath, and the tentacles lashed out violently the next moment.

The tentacle whistled through the air, and Yu Xing's pupils contracted slightly. He instinctively ducked to dodge. The tentacle struck the wall, scattering concrete fragments and leaving a dent the size of a washbasin.

Why are you here?

Yuuki asked, but the Octopus Otherworldly God didn't respond, only coldly withdrawing its tentacles again.

His tentacles attacked again, this time two, blocking Yuuki's escape routes from the left and right.

Yuuki had no choice but to turn her body into sand, scattering into a clump of sand that passed through the gap between the two tentacles.

"Pong!"

The tentacles slapped the sand, stirring up countless grains of sand. Looking at Youxing's appearance, the Octopus Otherworldly God was somewhat surprised.

"I see."

Upon seeing this, the Octopus Otherworldly God laughed even louder: "So you're a new brother, but it seems you're not with us."

Upon learning Yuuki's true identity, he no longer held back, unleashing all four tentacles simultaneously in a fan shape to cover all possible angles from which Yuuki could dodge.

Yu Xing glanced around, then leaped upwards, barely avoiding the encirclement of tentacles.

But as soon as his toes left the ground, the fifth tentacle silently attacked from below, precisely wrapping around his ankle.

A strong numbing sensation quickly spread from the point of contact to the entire leg. Yuuki looked down and saw fine black lines appearing on the suction cup.

"poisonous!"

Realizing this, Yuuki groaned, and her right leg quickly turned into sand, breaking free from the tentacles' grip. However, the toxins were not eliminated by the sandification; instead, they rapidly spread to Yuuki's entire right leg.

He landed on the ground and staggered a couple of steps before regaining his balance.

How many more times can you escape?

The octopus-like demon god slowly approached him: "It seems your time has come to an end."

Yuuki's breathing became rapid; he was indeed finding it somewhat difficult to deal with an elite monster like the Octopus Otherworldly God.

"Why does this place feel like a trap?"

Just as he was pondering, a sharp whooshing sound suddenly came from the direction of the passage entrance.

"boom!"

The bullet grazed past Yuuki and struck the tentacle that was striking her, causing the octopus Otherworldly to freeze abruptly.

Yuuki turned around and saw Rin standing at the entrance of the passage, holding a pistol in his left hand, with a wisp of smoke rising from the muzzle.

His trench coat was billowing in the night wind, his face was stern, but his hand holding the gun was steady.

"What are you doing here?" Yu Xing blurted out, her tone tinged with annoyance. "Didn't I tell you to stay in the apartment?!"

"Enough with the nonsense, capturing this guy is the key right now, isn't it?"
