The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Number 3 stood respectfully to the side, bowing slightly, while the Shocker leader left the top floor alone at the opportune moment.

Everything he said was a mix of truth and falsehood. The history-changing machine does exist, but it's not the enormous machine everyone imagines it to be. Instead, it's the one he uses as his fighting force, Number 3.

Number 3 is the core of the History Changing Machine, while the machine they are building now is, to be precise, a History Travel Machine. The core of Number 3 and the History Travel Machine work together to form the History Changing Machine.

Going back in time to disrupt the original course of history and thereby change it.

Disrupting normal history can be corrected by historical revisionism, but for Number 3, historical revisionism is not a problem.

The only problem is activating the history machine!

For this machine to start, it needs a massive amount of life force, along with a core capable of reversing constant gravity.

The core is there, all that's missing is vitality.

After accumulating enough life force, Number 3, as the core, travels back to 1973 in the time machine, erases Numbers 1 and 2, and the history of this world will be changed, allowing Shocker to rule the world.

"I really look forward to that day!"

The leader of Shocker strolled along, letting out a low chuckle.

Chapter 66: The Signal Axe is under construction, and Shocker is being watched by a cat.

Driving license test center in Kuruma, Drive Base.

"He's still not awake!"

Jun Honganji stood with his hands behind his back, looking worriedly at the old driver who was still unconscious.

"After all, he's had such a major surgery, he'll probably be in a coma for a long time!" Suzuna Norikami came over and tucked the blanket around the old driver. Judging from her expression, it was as if she wasn't the one who had been yelling at the old driver to crack open his head with the bone saw!

"Wake up quickly, Xiao Bo!"

Jun Honganji bent down and tidied the old driver's hair. "Everyone's been waiting for you to come back."

The old driver was still fast asleep, his breathing long and strong.

Everyone in the Special Cases Division is eagerly awaiting the awakening of the old driver. According to Miku, after fusing with the belt Zankelim, the old driver will surpass humanity and become a superhuman.

His mind is comparable to a computer, and his body can break through the genetic limitations of humans.

At that time, veteran drivers will become the strongest force in their special operations unit.

"Speaking of which, where's Xiaowuzi?"

Looking around but not finding Shijima Kiriko, Honganji asked out of curiosity, since Shijima Kiriko usually stayed here at this time. Nishijou, who was playing with a doll nearby, said, "Heart and the others went to take their driving tests. Kiriko went to check on their progress."

"Oh, I was wondering why. I didn't see Xiaowuzi today. So that's what she was up to!"

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Jun Honganji habitually took out his phone and opened a fortune-telling website.

Let's take a look at today's fortune!

Jun Honganji, who had just looked down at his phone, suddenly noticed that the screen was distorted. Thinking he was seeing things, he rubbed his eyes, but the screen was indeed distorted.

"It's haunted!"

After throwing down her phone, Jun Honganji quickly ran towards the old driver, pushing his hospital bed and trying to take him away.

The tossed phone was caught by a fluffy tail, and Miku poked his head out of the space: "It's haunted, where is it?"

"Oh, it was Miku! Don't scare me like that, really!" Honganji Jun said, rubbing her chest with a lingering fear. "You almost scared me to death!" Miku smiled at Honganji Jun's reproachful expression.

After returning the phone to Honganji Jun, Miku took out the driver that was strapped to his waist.

"Guess what I brought this time?"

The cat, feigning mystery, blinked its eyes. After Sawakami Suzuna clearly saw the driver coiled around Miku's tail, she screamed, "Ah!!"

"Heart and the others were talking about the cavalry drive!"

"hey-hey!"

The cat, having tossed the Cavalry Driver to Sawakami Suzuna, jumped onto a nearby table and slowly scratched its ear: "I'd heard you guys talk about this weird driver before, so I just grabbed one."

"Thank you so much, Miku!" Sawakami Suzuna, who was jumping and shouting while holding the cavalry driver, had her eyes shining, while Miku smiled slightly.

"With this, we can analyze the drive system and develop targeted weapons to deal with the Mi Clan!"

Sawakami Suzuna, humming a little tune happily, ran to the side and began to disassemble the Rider Driver. Honganji Jun carefully put his precious phone away and strolled over to Miku's side: "This time you really helped a lot. Those people using the Rider Driver Roidmude are taking citizens hostage. We can't fight them, and we can't not fight them either."

“It was such a headache.” Honganji Jun stroked Miku’s back fur as his arm casually reached up to touch Miku’s back. “Now that’s good, we have a sample, so we can develop a targeted strategy.”

"It's nothing, just something I did on the spur of the moment. Besides, the little guy has been taken care of by you all." Miku casually walked away from Honganji Jun's grasp, no longer letting the old man touch him.

"Being able to help is a way of repaying a favor!"

"You can't say that. Our Special Cases Division owes you so much. We will do everything we can to help you in the future, whenever you need us!"

“Then it’s settled!” Miku revealed a mysterious smile, but no one present noticed it, except for Nishijo Kyu, who was holding the doll.

Nishijou, who hadn't had much contact with Miku, assumed that's what a cat's smile looked like, so he didn't pursue the matter further.

"Rinna, what kind of weapon do you plan to create to target the characteristics of the Cavalry Driver?" Miku whispered as he leaned close to Rinna. While disassembling the Cavalry Driver, Rinna replied, "I haven't decided yet. First, I need to determine the system of this driver, and then develop a targeted solution."

"How about the axe?"

Miku, who spoke, guided Sawamura Suzuna with words that were filled with an inexplicable allure.

"That's a great idea! It's really great!"

Sawakami Rinna's eyes lit up and she exclaimed in surprise, while Miku smiled modestly, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Do you need my help? I've made a lot of drivers before, and I'm very good at disassembling them!"

"really?"

"Of course, the Messenger Driver that the little guy uses, and the APD Driver that Heart and the others use, were both created by me. I have a lot of experience in this area!"

"Thank you for your help."

Without hesitation, Sawakami Suzuna agreed and let Miku participate in the disassembly of the cavalry driver. Miku intentionally or unintentionally guided Sawakami Suzuna toward the signal axe.

Finally, Miku, who had helped Suzuna Sawakami for most of the day, left behind his specially made energy core and departed.

"What a perfect work!" Holding the energy core left behind by Miku, Suzuna Sawakami carefully examined the patterns on the core, which was the size of an infant's fist.

Especially the energy guide slot on top.

"That's strange, why is there a cross mark on it?"

Scratching her head, Rinna Sawakami examined the core from all angles before finally placing it in a lead box and continuing with her work.

......

Fengdu, Fengdu Tower.

Amidst the howling wind, space suddenly distorted, and a blue-furred, gold-spotted cat leaped out.

"I've done everything I needed to do; now all I have to do is wait for the results!"

The cat, perched on the railing with its tail drooping, looked down at the city and pondered its plans.

The signal axe, the magical weapon of the belt, was an important part of his plan.

He had been prepared from the very beginning when designing the Cavalry Driver. However, to his surprise, the veteran drivers hadn't captured a single Cavalry Driver before this. Learning from Medic's experience, the veteran drivers and others subconsciously avoided Roidmudes equipped with Cavalry Drivers in battle.

This undoubtedly gave Miku a headache, so he simply sent the cavalry driver over himself and left some little Easter eggs behind.

After all, what he was about to do might affect the world's timeline, so to avoid any mishaps in the plan, he simply delivered the goods himself.

All of this was arranged in advance.

"I hope you won't let me down, Special Investigations Division." The cat's eyes were extremely deep as it surveyed everything in Fuuto. "Otherwise, I'll have to take matters into my own hands!"

As he muttered to himself, Miku's eyes suddenly widened.

"Got you!"

Meanwhile, a salesman peddling memory chips in Fuuto, before he could even hand over the memory chips in his hand, felt a sudden tightness around him, and before his eyes could even blink, he vanished from the sight of his chosen victim.

Miku, having pulled the salesman from a corner of Fudou, flicked its tail and tightly gripped the man's neck, then hung him in mid-air.

Hello, little ant.

The cat, who had just given the salesman a slight smile, stripped him naked, gathered all his belongings aside, and inspected them one by one.

Finally, Miku found a strange instrument.

It looks like a mask, with a bright green gem on its forehead, radiating a vibrant life force.

"found it!"

Miku, who had thrown the salesman into the air, stretched out his claws and snatched the emerald.

"Now we'll be able to find you!"

Miku crushed the gem in his hand, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. All the information contained in the gem was extracted by Miku.

As the life force emanating from the shattered gem dissipated, the cat opened its eyes. The cross-shaped flame mark on its right eye suddenly lit up, while a rapid glimmer flashed in its left eye.

"So it was hidden in another dimension! No wonder I couldn't track it down!"

Using the causal link established by the gem, Miku located the alternate dimension where Shocker was. This alternate dimension wasn't anchored; instead, it was constantly moving back and forth.

That's right, Miku didn't come to the Wind Tower to enjoy the scenery, but to use it to expand his senses, find out the salesmen who were selling memory modules in the Wind Tower, and then find the people behind them.

Cats hold grudges and don't let them linger; they usually retaliate on the spot.

This time, he originally intended to retaliate against someone who framed him, but unexpectedly, he ended up directly finding Shocker's lair.

This was truly an unexpected delight.

"The most important step is about to begin!" The cat with its mouth open transformed into a monster form, and as the monster form further evolved into its ultimate form, a flame appeared in the void behind it.

The flames rapidly grew larger, forming a cross that floated behind him.

"Shocker, I'm here."

Miku, having torn open a spatial rift, walked into it and disappeared from the Tower of Wind.

In the alternate dimension where Shocker resides.

The clear sky suddenly changed color, and the white clouds drifting in the sky shattered all at once.
