Tokusatsu: How come this knight drama is different?!

That moment greatly shocked him, the newcomer.

Basically, everyone in each base can receive five to six times their nominal salary each month.

Well, that's relatively normal.

Twenty-five years ago, this branch minister witnessed firsthand how the previous commander-in-chief, Yu Che, went on a crazy spree of filing compensation reports, ensuring that every member of the action team received compensation equivalent to at least five years of their salary.

Yes, on average, each of them died at least three times.

As for the investigators who will subsequently investigate the use of the funds...

Yu Che said, "I've prepared all the investigation results for you, investigator. The data is on this USB drive. If you agree, two years' salary and bonuses will be deposited into your personal account. However, if you insist on going to the grassroots level for investigation... my team members are all out on the front lines fighting nightmares every day. Because the fighting is so brutal, everyone's mind is more or less unstable. I'm afraid you might not come back unscathed from your grassroots investigation."

Youche has used this method for over a decade, demanding money not only from the headquarters of the crypto code but also from various official institutions every year.

America, Japan, Europe, Asia, and even Africa—Yoo Che has swindled several mines, then resold one mine to three different companies. When the three companies found out, they wanted to cause trouble for Yo Che, but all the people they sent were dealt with by the action team members.

"...Hissing sound~"

Theoretically speaking, smoking scenes are not allowed in the Knight series, so we didn't show his face, only his crossed legs. The branch manager said with emotion, "That was the best of times. I worked here for ten years and earned the equivalent of a hundred years' worth of salary, even after taxes."

At this point, the branch manager shook his head: "Number 3, do you think that by taking action against the former commander-in-chief, you are showing your loyalty? No—you were used by those people as a pawn to test their reaction. No one in the entire Japanese branch's coded organization, from top to bottom, would agree to your arrest of the former commander."

Number 3 remained silent...

He seemed to understand why those high-ranking officials hated the previous commander-in-chief, You Che.

This bastard isn't raising spies, he's practically raising Deadpool...

They're still using their money to support Deadpool...

……

"If that's the case, then you shouldn't be able to be kicked out, right?"

In Wan Jinmo's operations room, You Che, Wan Jinmo, Knox, and Ning Meng ate barbecue while listening to You Che brag.

Okay, this isn't bragging, this is the actual work You Che was doing back then...

You Che shrugged: "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I don't have much money myself. All that money was... well, I applied for it. Most of it was actually invested in the research and development of the Knight System, and only a small portion was distributed to the members of the base."

"Maybe those people were just too stingy. We were doing something truly momentous, saving the world! Those bastards just fired me because they didn't want to pay me."

At this point, You Che shook his head: "After I left, they did such a terrible job."

The other three were speechless: Are you sure those people just don't want to pay? Are you sure they don't want to have someone kill you?

But then again...

If I were working under Commander-in-Chief You Che...

It would be a disservice to the Commander-in-Chief not to fight with all one's might...

How do you say "onion orange"? Onion orange.

Chapter 830 Oh my god, Lord Calamity...

You Che hadn't expected Ning Meng to appear here.

But after thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with letting Ning Meng join the new code.

Ning Meng is theoretically a national goddess who appears in everyone's dreams. However, this is only a passive ability of Ning Meng; she still has her own physical form.

This original body became good friends with Wan Jinmo, and coincidentally, Wan Jinmo learned that the Crypto Organization was preparing to eliminate Ning Meng.

If we want to protect Ning Meng, then getting her to join the new code would be a perfect match for her expertise.

Ning Meng did not refuse.

There was no need to refuse at all. She was even quite interested in adding the new code. Her true form had not yet awakened in reality, so she could only continue living in the dream world. Naturally, she would look forward to living with her friends in the dream world.

"Okay, let's design the new Cipher organization's agent uniforms. Okay, it's decided, men will wear suits and women will wear swimsuits."

This was the first proposal You Che made after learning that Ning Meng had joined the new code.

"Huh?!" Ning Meng was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Then, naturally, Yu Che's perfect proposal was collectively rejected.

You Che was indignant: "To be honest, do you two really not want to see Ning Meng in a swimsuit?"

Wan Jinmo's face immediately turned red, and then he pressed You Che to duel.

You Che understood: "Oh, I see. You want to see it, but you don't want others to see it, right? You repressed pervert."

"I didn't!"

The noise and commotion helped Ning Meng quickly adapt to life in the new cipher organization.

Then the group started their first all-member barbecue party.

You Che then began to boast about how great he was back then.

Knox's forehead veins bulged as he listened.

After noticing this, You Che looked at Knox curiously: "By the way, how have they treated the Dream Agents since I left?"

Knox was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "No, no salary..."

You Che looked puzzled: "No salary? How are you going to live?"

Knox: "...I used to be a policeman, so..."

You Che was speechless: "So you're a policeman during the day and deal with nightmares at night? You're... quite capable. Can you maintain this kind of life for so many years?"

What could Knox say? He could only say that he was fired up by Commander Zero's words, and that Commander Zero had even given him a Knight Belt, the kind that could actually transform him...

Holy crap, which man could resist this kind of temptation? Wouldn't he go all out?

You Che suddenly thought of something and looked at Wan Jinmo: "Speaking of which, Xiao Mo, you're also working for free, right?"

Wan Jinmo nodded helplessly.

You Che pursed his lips, while Ning Meng felt extremely sorry for him: "How can there be such an organization?! They send you to fight Nightmare to the death, and they don't even pay you?!"

Wan Jinmo: "..."

Knox: "..."

Although I know what Ningmeng-chan said is true, but...

Your statement makes me suddenly wonder if being a dream agent isn't such a great profession after all.

Aren't we doing the work of saving the world?

Um, Yu Che said: Is there any conflict between saving the world and getting a high salary? I don't understand~

Wan Jinmo shook his head, banishing these inexplicable thoughts from his mind. Then, he looked at Ning Meng seriously and said, "Ning Meng-chan, I called you here today because I have something important to discuss..."

Ning Meng blinked her big, bright eyes, then nodded with a smile: "I know~"

Wan Jinmo: "...Huh?"

You found out?

Ning Mengjiang smiled and said, "You're inviting me to join you guys, right? I've already agreed~"

Wan Jinmo: "...Actually, it's not like that...well, it's not just like that."

As he spoke, Wan Jinmo showed Ning Meng a movie.

Upon learning that the woman was her mother and that she was actually created by the nightmare and was not human, Ning Meng was completely stunned.

“I…I…How could this be? How could I be…” Ning Meng was extremely heartbroken.

You Che watched from the side, feeling extremely sorry for him, but this was not the time for him to act silly and ease the atmosphere, so he didn't say anything.

After all, today was indeed the first time he had met Ning Meng.

And what can soothe Ningmeng...

As expected, only Wan Jinmo was there.

Wan Jinmo hugged Ning Meng tightly, then gently comforted her: "No matter how you were born... in my heart... you are that Ning Meng... the Ning Meng that I... everyone loves."

I will definitely protect you...

Ning Meng's tears slid down her cheeks as she and Wan Jinmo hugged each other, both crying.

Yu Che, watching this scene from the side, shook his head: It seems that the two of them are having an affair, this is now confirmed.

Soon, Wan Jinmo rallied his spirits and said he had other things to do.

Ning Meng was puzzled, while Wan Jinmo said that he was going to stop Nightmare from blowing up the Metropolitan Police Department.

"How are you getting there?" Ning Meng asked.

“I feel… now, as long as I want to go, I know how to go…” Wan Jinmo said, then put on his helmet, got on his motorcycle, and rushed directly into Uncle Tetsuya’s dream world.

And this time...

As Wan Jinmo walked through the familiar passage, memories flooded his mind of his first encounter with the Bomb Demon, its formidable abilities, and his own bomb-like nature...

but it does not matter.

I am not the person I used to be...

Then, Wan Jinmo took out the Calamity Dream Capsule, transformed into Calamity Zez, rushed over and dragged out the Bomb Nightmare the moment it spawned, and then beat it up.

Finally, the Nightmare of the Bomb declared, "I am the bomb myself. How dare you destroy me?"

Then it was kicked into the roadside by Wan Jinmo. Its explosion was suppressed to a minimum by Wan Jinmo, and the damaged buildings and ground were directly repaired by Wan Jinmo using repair capsules.

It can be said that I encountered a boss-like form right at the start of my second playthrough.

You know what, the Calamity form is actually enough for Zez to handle all situations except for the final four Nightmares.

Such a valuable enhanced form is quite rare in Kamen Rider series.

In most cases, this enhanced form should appear around episode 20, and then after the final form appears in episode 30-something, it will simply turn into a roadside creature.

All I can say is that Zez is indeed different from most knight dramas.

And so, episode 23 came to an end.

The audience's comments can be summarized in one sentence:
