Tokusatsu: How come this knight drama is different?!

Both of them were armed with gun-like weapons.

"Knox! Traitor to the organization! I'll finish you off right here and now!"

As they spoke, Numbers 5 and 6 fastened their costume belts and transformed into Mimic Riders.

Nox didn't argue, took out the Dream Capsule and transformed into Kamen Rider NOX, and the three of them instantly started fighting.

Nightmare, on the other hand, took this opportunity to escape.

Wan Jinmo stomped his foot angrily and then rushed towards the battlefield where the three were fighting...

"Stop! Stop fighting! Why are you fighting?! Stop fighting!"

Rain suddenly began to fall in the dream world, and then, amidst the torrential downpour, three figures grappled with each other, their attacks incredibly fierce...

—End of this episode.

This week's content is actually quite important.

Because when characters 5 and 6 transformed, they said "simulation," not "transformation."

The official data also revealed that characters #5 and #6 did not transform into Kamen Riders, but rather into shapeshifting warriors. These shapeshifting warriors possessed stats comparable to Kamen Riders, but undeniably, they lacked one crucial element:

The idealism of knightly power.

A week later, episode 16 was released.

The camera initially focuses on Yu Che, who is humming a song while playing a game in a coffee shop.

On the computer desktop, there is a close-up of a ring.

It was a silver ring with the number "0" engraved on it.

Yes, You Che never hid anything from the beginning, but...

It seems that everyone, including Wan Jinmo, just thinks it's an ordinary desktop wallpaper...

Chapter 822

Episode 16 continues the story from the previous episode. Under the torrential rain, Wan Jinmo sees the three getting more and more carried away in their fight, so he simply joins in himself, taking on all three of them single-handedly.

"Seven! What are you doing?!" Number 5 was kicked to the ground by Wan Jinmo and immediately became furious, then questioned him.

"You're the ones who started fighting! Why did you just start fighting?! If you won't tell me, then I won't let you continue fighting!" Wan Jinmo had a rather thuggish and rogue-like demeanor, it was unclear where he learned it from.

(Yu Che: ??? Why are you looking at me? How am I, such a good person, a scoundrel or a hooligan?!)

Finally, thanks to Vanzemour's intervention, Knox, No. 5, and No. 6 were forced to cease fighting.

Knox then turned to leave, but was stopped by Wan Jinmo.

"what are you doing?"

"I've said it before, no one is leaving today!" Wan Jinmo said with a very serious expression.

Knox opened his mouth, then sighed and sat down silently.

"First of all! The first question! Who are you two?!"

Wan Jinmo looked at numbers 5 and 6.

Numbers 5 and 6 exchanged a glance, then raised their fingers.

Upon seeing the numbers 5 and 6 engraved on the silver ring, Wan Jinmo understood.

"So you guys are considered my seniors?"

Numbers 5 and 6 shook their heads.

After the two explained, Wan Jinmo understood.

A year ago, Knox failed his mission and was attacked by Nightmare, which trapped him in the dream world. The Crypto Organization simply assumed he was dead and began searching for a successor for the Dream Agent.

Then they found numbers 5 and 6.

However, the two did not possess the talent of Manzumo and were not chosen by the Zez Driver, so they were unable to transform into Kamen Riders.

Upon hearing this, Wan Jinmo quickly interrupted, "What does it mean to be chosen by Zez?"

Numbers 5 and 6 were somewhat puzzled: "Didn't Commander Zero tell you?"

"What did you say? I didn't even know there was such an organization as Cipher! I always thought this organization was something I created in my dreams."

The two sighed, and they began to understand why Wan Jinmo had stopped them from finding the answer.

Because this silly child really doesn't know anything...

The two then looked at Knox, who helplessly rubbed his forehead: "Why are you looking at me? How could I possibly know that Commander Zero didn't tell him anything!"

"So what exactly happened?"

After that, Wan Jinmo learned of the existence of the Code organization.

They also learned that nightmares have coexisted with humans ever since they developed intelligence and civilization.

The higher the level of human civilization, the stronger the power of nightmares.

Throughout history, the war between humans and nightmares has never ceased.

Ancient Yin-Yang masters and other talented individuals from various regions contributed their strength to the front lines of the fight against nightmares.

Since the modern era, due to the development of technology, wars have broken out between humans, and the nightmares spawned by war have become even more powerful.

After the end of the world war, the Cipher Organization was born. Its existence from the beginning was to prevent nightmares from invading the real world.

Number 5 looked at Wan Jinmo: "You must have encountered a few real-life incidents, right? The harm that nightmares bring to reality is incomparable to that in the dream world."

Wan Jinmo thought for a moment and said, "That's true. Not long after I became a Kamen Rider, a bomb nightmare almost came to the real world and destroyed a building. If I hadn't successfully stopped it, the building would have been blown up."

Number 5 and Number 6 exchanged a glance but said nothing.

Knox sneered, "Dealing with Nightmares isn't so easy. This year, quite a few Nightmares have probably come to life in their hands."

Wan Jinmo was somewhat puzzled: "Really? But I thought they were easy to deal with. After I became familiar with the agents' identities, I prevented them from successfully going to reality."

Knox, No. 5, No. 6: "..."

The three of them didn't know how to answer.

What do you think Knox, who was attacked by nightmares and trapped in the dream world for a year, would say?

In short, the cipher organization is a real entity.

It is also true that Knox failed in his mission and was subsequently abandoned by the Crypto organization.

Number 5 couldn't help but say disdainfully, "Trying to shift the blame for a failed mission to the organization? You don't seem like much of a senior either."

Knox: "What did you say?!"

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight again, Wan Jinmo quickly stopped them: "Alright, alright, the most important thing right now is to deal with the nightmare, right? Otherwise, it will be troublesome if he goes to the real world."

Then Wan Jinmo wanted to know more about the Crypto Organization, but Number 5, Number 6, and Knox remained silent.

Because they don't know much either.

To put it bluntly, they are just special agents risking their lives on the front lines.

Those who actually sit in offices and know more intelligence...

It was Commander Zero.

……

Exiting the dream world and returning to reality, Wan Jinmo went to the space behind the wardrobe, then found Commander Zero. After explaining the situation, he raised a question:

"Did the Cipher organization really abandon Knox? If that's the case, I don't think there's anything wrong with Knox wanting to deal with Cipher."

Commander Zero remained silent for a long time before nodding without denying it, and then began to provide Wan Jinmo with new intelligence.

It turns out that more than a decade ago, Commander Zero was not the commander of the cipher organization and was not responsible for the command and dispatch of agents.

At that time, the previous commander-in-chief proposed to reform the cipher organization, giving front-line agents more privileges and developing more and better equipment for them, such as the virtual warrior system and the Kamen Rider system.

However, the reform ultimately failed, the previous commander was dismissed, and the cipher organization fell into chaos. During this period of internal turmoil, some nightmares broke into the real world. After discussion, the cipher organization decided to let Zero, who was in charge of the General Armaments Department at the time, take over as commander.

Both the simulation system and the Zez belt were created by Commander Zero.

in other words……

"Looking at it this way, the things you've done since taking office are very similar to the reform plans proposed by the previous commander."

Wan Jinmo hit the nail on the head.

Commander Zero did not deny it: "That's right, what I did was to implement the reform plan proposed by the previous commander."

However, this raises a new problem: the management of the dream agents.

Wan Jinmo was puzzled: "A management problem?"

Commander Zero paused for a moment before slowly speaking: "I developed the simulation system, and I also developed the Zez system. So... how will the higher-ups of the Crypto Organization ensure that you frontline agents obey their orders?"

Wan Jinmo's expression immediately turned cold: "So, to put it bluntly, the previous commander's reform plan was actually not problematic, and it could have better solved the problems caused by Nightmare. It's just that the higher-ups of the Crypto Organization felt that it would make it impossible for them to control the front-line agents, so they rejected it?"

"That's right." Commander Zero nodded helplessly.

Wan Jinmo fell silent.

He thought the Crypto Organization was a righteous organization dedicated to protecting the people, but now it seems...

Reality was a huge disappointment to him.

Later, when Wan Jinmo went to the next round, he seemed a little out of sorts, and You Che asked him if he wanted to rest for a few days.

Wan Jinmo shook his head, then smiled wryly and said:

"Thinking about it... working in the coffee shop was probably the most relaxing time for me; I didn't need to think too much at all..."

You Che blinked and then said speechlessly, "You're making it sound like you haven't worked very hard."

If you really slack off... I might dock your pay.

Wan Jinmo nodded, both amused and exasperated, but felt much more relaxed.

Manager's place... is really a great place for me to relax...
