Tokusatsu: How come this knight drama is different?!

Finally, a female agent from the Cipher organization volunteered to give it a try.

She is the later cipher agent Two, and now Mrs.

The success of the two experiments greatly surprised Commander Zero, who then began to study methods to popularize the Knight System.

However, after the commander successfully developed the prototype armor...

The higher-ups, who had been tolerating You Che for so long, finally couldn't take it anymore and took action against him, dismissing him and expelling him from the cipher organization.

……

Yu Che shrugged at this: "I can understand those guys. Anyone would be unhappy if they had to allocate 10 billion US dollars a year."

"One, ten billion?!" X3

Without a doubt, Ning Meng, Knox, and Wan Jinmo did not expect You Che to dare to play such a big game.

I had heard You Che say that he was asking the higher-ups at Anma for money, but they never had an objective figure.

And now...

After listening, Knox said quietly, "What I'm more curious about is where all that money you've earned over the years has gone?"

You Che spread his hands: "It was all distributed to my subordinates. Of course, the majority of the funds were invested in the research and development of the Knight System."

Knox looked speechless: Guess whether I believe you or not?

Wan Jinmo was also somewhat incredulous; after all, 10 billion US dollars—that was 10 billion US dollars! That's over a trillion yen…

"He's telling the truth."

A voice suddenly appeared.

That's right, the person who came was none other than Commander Zero.

"Oh, you're here. Okay, you can tell us now. I don't know what happened after I left, so you'll have to tell us."

The other three all looked at Commander Zero.

Commander Zero sighed and began to recount what happened after Yu Che left.

It turns out that after You Che left, the cipher organization's action team engaged in a power struggle, and in the end, the various factions decided to put someone who was not close to either side in power.

That's right, it's Commander Zero.

After Commander Zero took office, neither Sig nor his wife were very convinced of his authority, and the members of the action team also harbored resentment.

After all, the top management of the code company made it clear that they would only provide 10 billion yen in funding each year thereafter.

From 10 billion US dollars to 10 billion yen, it was cut by more than 100 times.

This is just the beginning; the cipher team's annual budget is already two to three hundred million yen.

You Che rolled his eyes and said, "You're too honest. If you ask me, you should just tell your men to stop working and have a few Nightmares go after some of the high-ranking members. Let's see if they still dare to cut your budget."

Commander Zero sighed helplessly; there were some things he simply couldn't do.

Knox pondered: So the reason I don't get paid is entirely because Commander Zero is incompetent? Damn it, why didn't I join the Codex a decade or two earlier? Or even five years earlier would have been fine. I feel like if that former commander had joined five years earlier, I would definitely be financially independent.

Well, it seems even more dangerous if the Knight System isn't ready five years in advance...

Commander Zero sighed, speechless.

"Alright, alright, stop making that face and keep going. I'm also quite curious about why Sieg has become like this."

Commander Zero nodded, then said helplessly, "Because after you left... he was imprisoned again..."

You Che: "?"

Others: "??"

No, can't you guys do anything right?

It can only be said that the Cipher organization was founded more than 70 years ago to resist the Nightmare's attack. This long period of time has caused many people to forget the organization's original purpose of resisting the Nightmare's invasion.

After Yu Che was dismissed and ousted, the newly appointed commander, Zero, had no prestige, no budget, and not even the means to achieve anything. He was just a figurehead from the start, with no real power. Missions were directly assigned to the agents by the higher-ups via cipher codes.

The pressure on Sieg and his wife was increasing, and they gradually became irritable.

Then Sieg was the first to fall victim, because the higher-ups at Cipher wanted him to kill some political figures, with America's president being the first target.

Sieg curled his lip and refused outright: "That bastard Youche knows how to use both threats and bribes to get me to work. I saw your threats, but what about the bribes? Just with your mouth?"

Then Sieg was arrested and imprisoned by the Cipher's men.

Sig laughed out loud.

Then one day, Sieg disappeared from the prison.

Commander Zero didn't know the specific reason, but it was certain that he had disappeared from the prison.

And then...

During an operation, the lady was attacked by a nightmare. The nightmare claimed to know the lady's desires and then directly created a baby for her and sent it into reality.

As Commander Zero finished speaking, everyone present turned to look at Ning Meng.

Ning Meng's eyes were filled with tears: "So...so this is how I was born?"

Yu Che extended his hand: "Ning Meng-chan, wait a minute before you cry. Zero, I remember you said that Number 2 also defected, right? Nightmare attacked her, and Ning Meng was born. Hmm... Could it be that the Crypto Organization wants to do something to Number 2?"

Commander Zero shook his head: "No, they wanted to capture Ning Meng and turn her into a dream capsule. After all, Ning Meng was born from the power of nightmares. Number 2 didn't agree, killed several coded agents who went to capture her, and then defected."

Everyone: "..."

Damn it, are you even capable of this? If you're going to cause trouble, do something respectable! Targeting a newborn baby—what kind of nonsense is that?!

Ning Meng was speechless.

Damn it, I had just built up a sad atmosphere, and then this sentence completely stunned me.

Why have I been hunted down since birth?!

Knox, however, made a direct judgment: "This is the darkness of the code!"

Wan Jinmo: "..."

Yes, yes, now I truly understand the darkness of the code.

Does this kind of organization really have any reason to continue existing?

Chapter 839 I never said that!

An organization that has existed for more than seventy years cannot possibly maintain its original purpose indefinitely.

Not to mention that the Cipher organization has wielded such power since its inception that it cannot be ignored.

After all, the nightmares we need to deal with can affect the real world from human dreams, which means that it is extremely difficult to solve them, and the investment required is naturally substantial.

only……

From an organization that was originally supposed to defend against nightmare attacks, to an organization that even Yu Che can't understand, to be honest, this reality is really too outrageous.

Comparing what Yuche said with what Commander Zero said, both Manzumo and Knox keenly noticed the difference:

While working under Youche, Sig also wanted to run away, but he would usually choose to do so on the one day off Youche had arranged for him each week.

However, because he lacked legal status and the places he chose to work were shut down by Youche's people, Sig ended up with very little money after he ran away.

This made Sieg very unhappy. When he was working under Youche, the thing he did most every day was to argue with Youche.

Despite the verbal sparring, Sieg didn't falter when it came to resolving the nightmare.

From this perspective, it's impossible for Yuche to have any issues with Sieg.

Therefore, Yuche will not deliberately suppress Sieg.

However, when he was under Commander Zero's command, Sieg did not show any signs of anything amiss before he ran away.

He didn't even have many arguments with Commander Zero.

The higher-ups in the Cipher organization wanted to take Sig away, and then Sig disappeared. To be fair, looking back, this kind of thing seems more like something Sig had anticipated.

Okay, we've pretty much figured out Sieg's past, but there are still two crucial points, or rather, one thing we don't understand:

Why was Sig able to disappear from the Cipher organization's prison, and where did he go after he disappeared?

And why did Sig suddenly appear now, and immediately begin an indiscriminate attack?

These two questions are theoretically the same: what happened after Sieg left the coded prison.

However, Commander Zero is probably unaware of this matter, as for Yu Che...

By then, You Che had already run away, so it was impossible for him to know anything about it.

Wan Jinmo sighed, looking at Commander Ling with a sense of disappointment and frustration.

Commander Zero's old face was full of black lines: "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you know how tedious the process is every time I want to submit a funding application because of this bastard?!"

You Che rolled his eyes: "That's why I said you're no good. Funding applications? I've never applied for that stuff. It's always those high-ups who hand me the money."

Commander Zero: "..."

No, why don't you talk about why they're giving you money at all?!

“Alright, let’s skip this topic. What we need to do now is find that guy Sieg. I feel like he has mental problems, he’s acting crazy.” Knox stepped forward.

You Che looked at Knox, and Ning Meng spoke up: "Um, may I ask about me?"

"You still have questions?" You Che looked at Ning Meng in surprise. "Shouldn't you have the fewest questions?"

Ning Meng instantly broke down: "Why are my questions the fewest?! Why was I born?! What is my true identity?! And why can I travel through dreams? Aren't these all questions?!"

Yu Che gave an "oh" and then said nonchalantly, "Because you're essentially a nightmare, right? Any other questions?"

Ning Meng: "???"

Seeing Ning Meng's puzzled expression, Knox thoughtfully said, "I see. Indeed, if Ning Meng is a nightmare, then none of these problems are problems for her."

Ning Meng was utterly frantic: "I! I'm not some kind of nightmare! That terrifying thing, I, I..."

"Are you sure you're not mistaken about something?" You Che looked at Ning Meng with suspicion. "Um, Ning Meng-chan, what do you think a nightmare is?"

"Huh?" Ning Meng thought for a moment and asked in confusion, "Could it be that, could it not be born from the desires in the human heart, and then, then do bad things?"

You Che nodded: "You understand correctly. Then why would a nightmare be born?"
