Tokusatsu: How come this knight drama is different?!

A short while later, Knox arrived as well.

Shortly after the chains sealing the door disappeared, the door was pushed open.

"Hehe, Seven, it seems you've come to your senses. It's alright, I..."

After the motorcycle entered, Zero saw Yu Che sitting on the second floor and fell silent.

Then he turned to look at Wan Jinmo. Although he was a robot, Wan Jinmo inexplicably understood what the other party wanted to ask: What's going on?

Wan Jinmo turned his head and whistled, pretending that it had nothing to do with him.

"Alright, stop looking at Xiao Mo. I'm telling you, you're really getting worse and worse. When I chose you to succeed me, what did you think I was thinking?"

Yu Che stood on the second floor, leaning against the railing, propping his head up with his hand and looking at the motorcyclist with dissatisfaction.

Commander Zero looked up at You Che: "You are no longer a member of the Crypto Organization."

"Ha, so what? What, you want to kick me out? Or do you want to fight me?" You Che sneered, then waved his hand. "Twenty years, right? After I left, you didn't compromise with those idiots in the higher-ups, did you? That must be it. Let me guess, your mimicry armor was forcibly taken back by those higher-ups, right?"

However, they don't have the ability to replicate it, so you use that to negotiate with them?

Tsk tsk, you really haven't improved at all~

Wan Jinmo, who was standing to the side with his head down, suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu: Damn, when I first joined the company, was I also being treated like a grandson?

Knox was completely dumbfounded: when he took office, Commander Zero was already the supreme commander, so he had never seen Zero like this before.

Commander Zero took a deep breath: "This is my operations room, you..."

"Ah, if you don't want to talk about this, then fine, but it makes me angry just thinking about it."

No, what were you thinking? The operations room is set up so shabbily?

Or are you saying you don't have money? If you don't have money, go ask those bastards for it!

Could it be that you got your funding cut by those bastards?

"Seriously? You can't be that stupid, can you?"

Commander Zero seemed to want to explain something, but in the end he helplessly lowered his head.

Mainly...

Yu Che never lacked funds during his tenure.

But as for him...

Commander Zero knew he couldn't compare to Yu Che, who treated those high-ranking officials like dirt, but...

You Che didn't treat those high-ranking officials as human beings, and the end result was that You Che was driven out, which was not the outcome he wanted.

"Further words are useless! Your presence here constitutes unauthorized intrusion! This is Code's base, you..."

Yu Che clicked his tongue and shook his finger: "NONONO, you're wrong, Zero, here..."

It's a new cipher organization!

Okay, let's call it Neo Code for now.

Wan Jinmo raised his hand curiously from the side: "Why not New Code?"

"Because it looks cooler this way," You Che said.

Wan Jinmo: "..."

Knox: "..."

Commander Zero watched as Yu Che slowly clenched his fist: "You're joking, aren't you?"

You Che rolled his eyes: "Do I look like I'm joking? Anyway, go and inform those useless high-ranking members of the Crypto Organization, and those idiot councilors, and tell them that I can't stand how incompetent they are, so I've reorganized a new Crypto Organization, and let them use whatever means they want."

With that, You Che waved to Commander Ling: "See the guest out."

Oh, wait, this car of yours also belongs to our New Code organization. Come on, take the motherboard off yourself. I'm requisitioning this car.

Knox and Vanzemour were dumbfounded: "Don't you want to see what you're saying?!"

What shocked the two even more was...

Commander Zero actually did as instructed; it removed the motherboard and then transformed into its motorcycle form.

You Che picked up the motherboard and tossed it to Wan Jinmo: "Check for backdoors. By the way, how many members does our new cipher organization have? How many researchers? How many logistics personnel?"

Wan Jinmo was taken aback, then looked at You Che after thinking for a moment: "Are these people necessary?"

As You Che was climbing to the second floor, he lost his footing and fell straight down. But You Che didn't care about his embarrassing fall and turned to look at Wan Jinmo in shock: "You wouldn't... the New Code Organization only has the three of us, would you?!"

Knox raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice, "I never agreed to join. You guys have been talking to yourselves the whole time."

Wan Jinmo scratched his cheek and nodded: "Um, for now... yes."

Knox: "So, I'm not..."

You Che was silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "Is it too late for me to call Zero back now?"

Knox: "I didn't..."

"Why call them back?" Wan Jinmo asked curiously.

Yu Che sighed, "I suddenly feel that this new cipher organization... is completely hopeless..."

Knox: "..."

Forget it, I'm tired. Let it all end. Whatever.

Chapter 829 Onions! Oranges!

……

Real world:

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

At the Cipher organization's base, in a video conference, the high-ranking members angrily questioned Commander Zero: "New Cipher?! Who does that bastard think he is?!"

"He's creating division!"

"We must stop him! Only we can control the code!"

"We must get rid of him!"

"..."

After the first official to call for dealing with You Che spoke up, the others fell into an eerie silence.

"What's wrong with you? Are you just going to let that guy run wild?" This high-ranking official had only been promoted in the last few years and had only seen the files about You Che; he was not a firsthand witness.

"It's so good to be young..." a foreigner sighed helplessly.

"???" The high-ranking official who proposed dismissing You Che was somewhat puzzled.

"Since you came up with the idea, why don't you issue the order and see how many people will obey you?"

And so, the meeting came to an end.

After the meeting, Commander Zero and Agent 3 were summoned to the offices of the top brass of the cipher.

"If I issue an order to eliminate this Yu Che, which of you two can guarantee the mission?"

Commander Zero remained silent, but Agent 3's eyes lit up as he keenly sensed an opportunity. He immediately stood at attention and declared, "Mission accomplished!"

"Alright! You're the one! From today onwards, you'll be the deputy commander of the action team."

The promotion shown here is somewhat childish. In later episodes, Commander Zero reveals that Agent 3 has long coveted his position and wants to replace him as the new commander. Agent 3 has also done a lot of dirty work for the higher-ups. In other words, although it seems childish, the higher-ups have actually been dissatisfied with the disobedient Commander Zero for a long time. Agent 3, on the other hand, has always been quite obedient to their orders. So, in reality, the higher-ups have long wanted Agent 3 to take over Commander Zero's position.

Commander Zero silently accepted this without uttering a word.

After all... they didn't directly remove him from his position as commander, they just made number 3 the deputy commander, right?

However, we need to mention a common-sense point here: as everyone knows, the positions of principal and deputy are inherently quite delicate. Most of the time, only one of them holds real power, while the other is inevitably marginalized. Commander Zero couldn't possibly be unaware of this; he's simply deceiving himself.

In Agent 3's view, Commander Zero was actually no threat at all.

He's good at making belts, but you know, in this world, you can't just rest easy because you have the skills. You have to understand human relationships and social dynamics. (This is about Kamen Rider.)

So Agent 3 began to prepare a manpower count and distributed the target's portrait to the team members.

After receiving the mission, the fully armed team members looked at each other in bewilderment. The team leader even stepped forward and looked at Number 3: "Deputy Commander, this target... is former Director You Chesang?"

Agent 3 stood with his hands behind his back, looking indifferent.

He didn't need to give these grassroots team members any face: "Ah, that's right, the target is him, so what?"

The team leader nodded and then raised his gun, aiming it at number 3.

Number 3: "??? You want to rebel?"

The team leader grinned: "No, no, no, we suspect that you, Deputy Commander, have been affected by the nightmare. Come with us and meet with the person in charge of the base."

Number 3 roared in fury: "You! How dare you!"

However, the response was that all the team members raised their guns in unison.

Number 3: "..."

If mimicry armor is used here, Number 3 is confident in dealing with these team members.

But...

Before even taking any action, they wiped out their entire task force?

What kind of operation is this?!

Number 3 was furious but didn't resist. He planned to wait until he got to the base leader and have all the operatives replaced!

When they arrived, the base leader simply waved for the team to get lost, without mentioning any punishment.

Number 3 was utterly bewildered: "Branch Manager! Why didn't you..."

"Why shouldn't I deal with them? Do you think I'm stupid?" The base leader was an old man in his sixties. He crossed his legs and leaned back in his chair. He then gestured for Number 3 to sit down and listen to a story.

That was thirty years ago, when he was transferred here to serve as the manager of the action team.

Then it was the first time he had ever seen what a crazy action team was like.

Each month, after deducting basic salary, bonuses, subsidies, and pensions, the costs of equipment maintenance, management, and replacement are filled out and applied for by each team member themselves.
