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

Guihu stepped forward and opened the box in his hand.

The several locks inside made Zhanji Lingma frown; his keen senses immediately alerted him to something amiss with these locks.

"It's not quite the same as those lowest-grade locks..."

He took one out, preparing to unlock it and see what was going on.

At that moment, Yuuki suddenly reached out and snatched the lock from his hand. Lingma was stunned and before he could get angry, Guihu hurriedly explained the cause and effect.

"A lock that can open the rift?"

Zhan Ji Lingma's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this: "This is a treasure! If we could crack the technology on it..."

"That's not the problem. The problem is who exactly created these locks."

Guihu interrupted Lingma in time, emphasizing the key issues.

“Once these locks are distributed on a large scale, I think Zeya City will soon be destroyed by unsuspecting people.”

This is something that Guihu cannot accept, and it is also something that the conglomerate cannot accept.

This is a city that the conglomerate spent a lot of money and resources to build.

"Actually, this problem is easy to solve."

Zhanji Lingma gripped the lock seed, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"real or fake?"

Zhanji Lingma was too confident, which made Guihu somewhat suspicious.

"Although I may not be able to crack the technology behind this in a short time, and I also can't find the person behind it in a short time..."

Lingma spoke eloquently, but Yuxing and Guihu's faces grew increasingly grim.

With so many problems, it doesn't seem like something that can be easily solved!

“However, I can add a door to his design.”

Seeing that the two were about to snatch the Lockseed and leave, Lingma quickly offered a solution.

"Since it can open rifts, why don't I design a small arena in advance to trap the aliens who jump out?"

"Next, I will design a counter mechanism. If two locks are opened, the two aliens will enter the same arena."

What would happen if two outsiders with little brains were in the same place?

Even without Lingma saying anything, Guihu and Youxing quickly understood.

"Let the aliens fight each other? That's an interesting idea, just like playing King of Fighters, and it can also deplete the Helheim's manpower."

Yu Xing's mind worked quickly; he thought not only about the present but also about the three-day agreement.

"This method might be submitted to higher authorities to address the threat of Hel's expansion and encroachment."

If the aliens are consumed, the power of Helheim will weaken, and the rate of Helheim's erosion may slow down.

"Makes sense."

Wu Daogui was surprised to find that there was an unexpected bonus; this plan was much simpler than upgrading the driver from scratch.

"Since you've made your decision, I'll take these locks and study them first?"

Ling Ma took the box and asked the two men a question.

Seeing the two nod, Ling Ma turned to leave, but he stopped abruptly after taking only a few steps.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I forgot to mention... The Sengoku Driver is almost complete and ready for official use."

"The instructions from above are that once the driver is completed, Guihu and the others can continue exploring Helheim."

With the help of the driver, their exploration of Helheim will be much faster, and ordinary aliens will be no match for Guihu.

However, Guihu understood Lingma's implication and nodded slightly: "I understand, I will finish things here as soon as possible."

"Yes, Guihu, I've already tested your driver beforehand. You can go to the lab to get it later. The lock is right next to it."

"As for Yuuki..."

Ling Ma hesitated for a moment, but he still said, "I also have your lock seed in the lab, as well as a driver whose power I have limited."

"That belt should allow you to transform without exceeding your physical limits."

This was the only help Zhanji Lingma could offer. After saying this, he didn't linger and quickly disappeared from their sight.

"Looks like we've got an unexpected bonus. Guihu, let's go take a look."

Yuuki stroked his chin and took the first step, with Guihu following closely behind.

Chapter 42 Apple Lock Seed: Rin's Discovery

The laboratory wasn't far from the two of them. Looking at the walls in front of them, which were made entirely of high-strength alloy, Yuuki almost thought they were going to be locked up.

"The contents of this place are crucial to whether the entire Helheim project can continue to move forward, so the level of protection is the highest."

Guihu led Youxing through the access gate and they went inside together.

The laboratory was not small, and a large number of identical locks were piled up on the lab bench, all of which had broken lock heads.

Beside these damaged locks, an experimental dish contained a lock with a red base and gold trim.

"Is this the apple seed lock?"

Yu Xing merely glanced at it and did not make any rash moves.

It contains the energy to destroy the earth. If his bad luck strikes again, he will have to take the whole world with him and say goodbye to the world.

"Take a look at this."

Instead of checking the apple lock with Yuuki, Guihu picked up a belt and showed it to Yuuki.

"The full version of the driver will greatly reduce casualties when exploring Helheim."

Seeing the genuine joy on Guihu's face, Youxing still didn't make any sarcastic remarks.

"This is yours."

A belt with a circle of gold patterns was handed to Yuuki by Guihu.

"The golden patterns on it will gradually fade as your transformation time increases. When they completely fade, you will have to deactivate the transformation."

Guihu read aloud the instruction manual left by Lingma, word by word.

Yuuki stared at the belt repeatedly. The golden pattern was like a limiter. If he overused it, the power of the Lockseed would break free of the belt's restraint and invade his body again.

"What about my lockseed?"

Yuuki reached out to Takahiro and handed him the worst pinecone lock.

"..."

Yuuki held the Lockseed in front of her and shook it somewhat speechlessly.

Is this such a trashy lockseed meant for him? This thing's combat ability is at best comparable to a low-level alien.

Yuuki himself is enough to deal with a novice alien.

"Lyoma said he could give you a more powerful Lockseed, but that would greatly shorten your transformation time, and you might only be able to fight for one or two minutes."

"This lock is the best choice, and it can support you in 15 minutes of high-intensity combat."

"Yuyuki, you don't want to fight using your alien form either, do you?"

Once Yuuki fully transforms back into her alien form, it becomes very difficult for her to change back.

He could only sigh and put the Lockseed in his pocket: "That should be enough to deal with this enemy."

Yu Xing doesn't think the person who caused this incident is that strong; they're just trying to take advantage of the situation to annoy them.

What are you planning to do with this lock?

Seeing that Yuuki had put the pine cone lock into his possession, Guihu looked at the apple lock that was still in the container.

"Since Lingma told you about it, it proves that this lock type is completely worthless for further research."

Have you thought about how to handle this?

Yuuki took the lock seed out of the container: "Since you chose to give it to me, I'll take it for now. Maybe I'll know how to use this lock seed later."

Guihu glanced at Youxing: "What? Are you planning to blow up a planet by using it?"

Yuuki held the apple seed in front of him, seemingly able to sense the enormous energy contained within it, and stared at it for a moment.

"It can come in handy if we encounter an enemy that we are completely unable to deal with in the future."

Yuuki's idea seemed a bit too extreme to Guihu: "How could that be?"

"It's just a hypothesis."

Yu Xing's expression immediately changed. She patted Gui Hu on the shoulder and said with a grin.

"Nobody wants such a terrible day to come. I still want to live a few more years."

The topic was easily dropped, and Guihu did not pursue it further. He put the belt into his bag and left the conglomerate with Youxing.

"Should we go to the Metropolitan Police Department? Officer Ichijo might have some new information."

Catching the person who did this was extremely important to Guihu; he couldn't allow anyone to be lying in wait for him all the time.

"A cold, venomous snake; he must be cut in two."

Gui Hu was resolute; he would never tolerate someone who trampled on his bottom line living in the world.

"But aren't you tired?"

Yuuki looked at Guihu, whose eyes were so bloodshot they looked like they were about to burst.

From the moment the two met, Guihu has hardly had any rest, either dealing with conglomerate affairs or fighting.

"Your chest injury hasn't healed yet? Are you trying to kill yourself by pushing yourself like this?"

Yuuki raised her hand and gently poked Guihu's chest. Guihu frowned, and his inner shirt was quickly stained red.

The bandages couldn't stop the bleeding at all; the previous collision with Mitsuzane had clearly reopened the wound on Takatora's chest.

Yu Xing looked up at the sky and said, "It's still early. Let's go and rest for a while. There's not enough time. Even one officer might not have found out any useful information yet."
