I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

"It's okay, I've learned about it. Shaking hands won't transmit Oripathy."

"...I never thought that one day a normal person would reach out to me."

Seeing Genji's sincere smile, Talulah's smile brightened a little. She reached out and took Genji's hand, shook it slightly, and then let go. Then, she saw Genji extend his hand to Frostnova, who was standing to the side, remaining silent.

"Frostnova, a cadre of Reunion Movement, alright, put your hand back."

The white rabbit looked at Gensou's hand, coldly uttered this sentence, and then offered no further response. Talulah quickly explained:

"Please don't mind, Mr. Gengo. Shimohoshi meant well. Her condition is rather special, and touching her carelessly could cause frostbite."

This is the truth. Due to Originium disease and Originium Arts, Frostnova's body temperature is so low that even touching her would cause severe frostbite to ordinary people. Therefore, even if Frostnova did not refuse Gengo's handshake, Talulah would still stop her.

"Oh, I see. That's good then."

Gensou glanced at Froststar with surprise, then golden ripples enveloped his hand, which he then extended towards Froststar, saying:

"Grandpa once said, 'Don't underestimate handshakes and hugs; they're a great way for detectives to connect with their customers.'"

"Ha, you mean I'm your customer?"

Froststar couldn't help but sneer, reaching out to grasp Gensou's hand. In that instant, Gensou felt an icy chill, but with the help of Ripple, the cold didn't leave him with any injuries.

"Believe me, Miss Frostnova, the moment you become my customer, I will become incredibly reliable to you."

Gensou smiled and withdrew his hand, then looked at Talulah and said:

"Alright, let's get down to business now."

"....Um."

Talulah nodded somewhat awkwardly. Only then did she realize that after what had just happened, the initiative in this conversation seemed to have shifted to the boy. But it didn't matter; she was just there to chat, not to negotiate.

In the ensuing conversation, Gensou gradually learned about the situation here and what kind of organization the so-called 'Reunion Movement' really was. Simply put, Talulah led this organization, which wanted to fight for the rights and freedom of Originium Infected, and struggled to survive on the icy plains of Ursus.

I've heard Chen Huijie mention Ursus a couple of times before. It's a powerful country, but its reputation abroad doesn't seem very good, and it's extremely cruel to persecute the infected. You can imagine the risks and pressures that would be involved in establishing an infected organization in such a place.

“This is truly an extraordinary and remarkable thing, Miss Talulah. You are a truly remarkable person.”

After listening to Talulah's explanation, Genji looked at the dragon girl with more admiration. Talulah, slightly uncomfortable with Genji's praise, coughed lightly and said softly:

"Mr. Gensou, please don't flatter me like that..."

“This is not flattery, it’s the truth, Miss Talulah. I admire you for dedicating your remaining years to this cause whose future I cannot even imagine.”

Genji spoke frankly, and his words caused Talulah's expression to stiffen slightly. She couldn't immediately tell if the boy was being sarcastic or not, but Genji's words immediately struck a chord with her:

"To be honest, I don't know much about the situation here, but from what my friends have told me, I can guess how cruel the living environment of Originium Infected people is. Therefore, everyone who stands up to change this deserves respect. Whether they succeed or not, their deeds will illuminate the way forward for those who come after them. As the saying goes, a single spark can start a prairie fire. Your efforts and beliefs will surely be remembered."

A single spark can start a prairie fire!

Listening to Gensou's words, Talulah's eyes shone even brighter. To be honest, although she was now the leader of the Reunion Movement, very few people could truly understand her beliefs. She wanted to find a true like-minded person to discuss how to move forward together.

And now... she seems to have found a comrade, at least the spark he spoke of has touched her.

"I'm sorry, Miss Talulah, I am not the companion you imagine."

Seeing the dragon girl's excited eyes, Yuanxiang naturally understood why she was so excited, but the boy still spoke the truth without hesitation:

"I'm just a detective. I don't understand politics, much less a revolutionary. But I can provide you with some books and materials so you can listen to and read about the stories of other revolutionaries. Although they have passed away, their souls and thoughts continue to resonate in people's hearts. I believe that even though the world is different, you can still gain some inspiration from them."

"...Mr. Gensho, thank you for your honesty and help."

Things changed so quickly that Talulah felt her emotions fluctuate like a rollercoaster. After closing her eyes and calming herself down, the dragon girl sincerely thanked Genji. Genji quickly waved his hand and said softly:

"No need to thank me. To be honest, I can't offer much help in this area, and I don't know much about it either. So if you ever need someone for a fight, you can call me."

"I didn't realize you were so slim and delicate, yet you love fighting so much."

Froststar couldn't help but speak up at this moment:

"With the way you fight, you'll die very easily."

"Hahaha... I'm usually very careful when I fight, but when I saw Mr. Patriot, I just wanted to have a hand-to-hand fight."

Gensho scratched the back of his head and laughed, but recalling the battle, he couldn't help but gasp. He hadn't expected to go so crazy when he got carried away, acting like an unrestrained "Fang"...

"Ursus swear words, get out of here!"

"Who are you yelling at?!" Ursus cursed, "Get lost!!"

Just then, a fierce shouting and the clanging of armor came from outside the room. Frostnova frowned immediately. If she wasn't mistaken, the fight was between her father's shield guards. They had always been like brothers, and the military discipline was strict... Why were they fighting? Also, had there been a few too many violent incidents at the camp today?!

149 A Strange Aura

By the time Frostnova and the others went outside, the fighting had already ended. The shield, still bearing the fist imprint, was stuck between the two shield bearers. The burly Patriot, carrying one shield bearer in each hand, angrily walked to the side. Talulah instinctively wanted to go over and ask what had happened, but was stopped by Genji and Frostnova. The former felt it was unnecessary to provoke trouble at this time, while the latter believed that Talulah should not obstruct her father from enforcing military law.

"Has everyone been too tense lately? Well, they've been busy clearing out pursuers and collecting supplies, they haven't had a moment's rest."

After listening to Talulah quickly recount what they had just witnessed, Alina said with a worried expression:

"Talulah, how about we pick a time to let everyone relax a bit, even if it's just singing around the campfire?"

"Ah."

Talulah nodded, and just then, she noticed that Gensou was constantly looking around, as if searching for something, so she couldn't help but ask:

"Mr. Gensho, what are you looking for?"

"It's strange...the atmosphere here is strange..."

Yuanxiang rubbed the back of his neck, his expression somewhat subtle, and said:

"But I can't quite put my finger on it. I just feel... like something is stirring within me... like... that final battle..."

Yes, just like when I fought Sonozaki Ryubei, that feeling that evoked my primal instincts. But back then I was facing 'fear,' while this time it should be... 'anger'? No, it doesn't seem like that... it seems more complicated.

"You guys go ahead with your work. I'll go take a look around. I have a feeling there's something fishy going on here. I'm a bit curious."

After saying that, Gengo pressed down on his hat and followed his intuition to walk east. Seeing his actions, Frostnova hesitated for a moment, nodded to Talulah, and then followed Gengo.

"Miss Froststar, there's something I should tell you in advance."

Genshou nimbly leaped onto the nearby tree, looked around, then jumped down and looked at the white rabbit leaning against the wall, saying:

"If you lose control of your emotions next, I will try to knock you unconscious to ensure that your mental health is not damaged too much."

"Ha, although your strength is comparable to my dad's, but..."

Froststare glared at Gensou with displeasure and said:

"Don't underestimate me either. I've fought alongside my father for a long time, and the number of dead I've killed is beyond your imagination."

Forgive my bluntness, but to really enjoy myself, I originally planned to use the 'Trigger' to fight your dad in close combat...

Yuanxiang pursed his lips, ultimately swallowing back those rather provocative words, and continued to explore in the direction he vaguely sensed.

"By the way, what city is Fengdu? Is it in Ursus?"

"It's a city in another world, and it's my hometown. If you have time in the future, you're welcome to visit me. But before that, shh... don't say anything."

Gensou raised his index finger to his lips, gesturing towards Shimohoshi, and whispered:

"Don't distract me. Intuition is a very mysterious and easily disturbed thing."

Do you, as a detective, solve cases based solely on intuition?

Hearing this, Frostnova was full of complaints, but she didn't say anything more. She slowed her pace and breathing, and quietly followed behind Gensou, watching the boy nimbly jump up and down. In this way, the two of them came to the back of the village stronghold, which was the Shield Guard's temporary rest point and also the location of the Reunion Movement's supply depot.

At that moment, Yuanxiang suddenly stopped, which startled Shuangxing, who said nervously:

"What? Did you find it?"

"Not yet, but we have a general direction. But before that, Miss Frostnova, don't you think these two shield guards are too tense? It's like..."

"Like guarding against thieves?"

Froststari picked up where Gensou left off, saying helplessly:

"Isn't this obvious? The supplies weren't exactly plentiful to begin with, how can we not keep a close eye on them?"

"It doesn't sound like this place is made of iron."

"Talulah welcomes all infected people. Her ideal is to liberate all infected people. However, it is undeniable that everyone in the village is grateful to her."

"But it was just gratitude."

This time, it was Yuanxiang who took over the conversation, saying in a low voice:

"They want to get everything they need from Talulah, and even want to 'control' Talulah's actions with their so-called collective will. When Talulah does something against their will, this gratitude will naturally turn into resentment. This is the principle of 'a little kindness is appreciated, but a lot of kindness breeds enmity.' Talulah should be more assertive and learn from Mr. Patriot to emphasize discipline. Otherwise, she will eventually be devoured by her ideals."

"Um...while I agree that Talulah is overly idealistic, but..."

Froststar said with a subtle expression:

“The villagers are not at the level you described, Yuanxiang. Aren’t you overestimating people’s character?”

"Is that so? That makes sense. You can't really guess these things by just following a template. Come on, Miss Frostnova, maybe we'll need you to pull some strings so we can get in."

"Inside?"

Frostnova was slightly taken aback, then hurriedly stepped forward to explain the situation to the guards. The two men exchanged a glance and then stepped aside. According to Patriot's orders, Frostnova was indeed one of the personnel who could freely enter and leave the warehouse.

"Should I knock you out first?"

Gengo and the two shield guards were staring at each other, clearly not intending to let him in. So, Gengo chuckled and took out the 'Joker', saying gently:

"In this way, you can at least give yourselves an explanation. After all, the person has already fainted, so you can be considered to have fulfilled your duty."

"Why are you so interested in knocking people out?!"

Froststar couldn't resist running out, raising the ice pillar she had just conjured, and tapping it on Genji's head. Then she placed the ice pillar on Genji's chin, forcing him to look up, and said earnestly into his eyes:

"I'm going to ask Dad for the application, soon. You stay here quietly and don't cause any trouble, you hear me!"

"I heard you..."

"Then I..."

"and many more."

Gensou stopped Frostnova, who was about to leave, and pointed expressionlessly at the icicle stuck to her chin, saying:

"At least you can fix this for me."

"Aren't you not afraid of the cold?"
