A moment later, with the help of 'Cyclone', all traces of the Reunion Movement's existence and retreat were properly cleaned up. At the same time, Talulah and Frostnova witnessed Gensou's caution. How to put it, this guy is really something else. If an enemy were to play dead in front of him, he would probably actually be playing dead.

Afterwards, Gensou carried the two people and floated back to the new camp of the Reunion Movement. There, Alina was organizing the new members of the Reunion Movement and was busy with something. At the same time, Gensou also saw the two children he had rescued next to the deer and they seemed to be integrating well.

"Alright, I'm not going to worry about what happens next."

Gensou yawned deeply, wiping away tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at Talulah, saying:

"I'm going back to take a nap. If anything urgent comes up, just have Alina come find me."

"Okay, no problem, you should go and get some rest."

Hearing this, Talulah nodded quickly and urged the boy to hurry up, but after taking a few steps, Genji suddenly remembered something and turned to Talulah, saying:

"By the way, I've already eliminated the source of those deformed infected individuals. Those guys were..."

"They've already been eliminated, right?"

Talulah interrupted Gensou, looking at the boy who couldn't stop yawning, and continued:

"It won't cause any more trouble, right?"

After seeing the boy nod, the silver-haired dragon girl pushed Yuanxiang towards the door, saying:

"Let's talk about this later. Let's go, let's go. Don't come if you're not fully awake."

Upon hearing this, Gensou chuckled and waved his hand, shaking off Talulah's shoving. Then, through the dimly lit doorway, his figure disappeared. Inside the Fuuto Office, the boy flopped onto the bed, grabbed the corner of the blanket, rolled himself into a ball, and fell into a deep sleep. After all, it was his soul that was injured this time, and he needed to get a good night's sleep to recover.

At the same time, Da Dao Keji was taking action. While Yuanxiang was busy dealing with the barrier, he and his undead squad were also on the move. Regarding the "resurrected" memory, he first approached the head of the department in the police station responsible for retrieval.

After a series of "friendly" exchanges, the person in charge frankly confessed that he had sold the memory fragments recovered from the scene to others at a high price.

After all, Kamen Rider "Joker" is ruthless and precise in his actions. The destroyed memories have no value for reference or research. They are simply kept in the police station as evidence in the case. And if the memories are destroyed like that, according to his many years of work experience, he can just buy a USB drive and smash it to get by if he needs to access them someday. So, he thinks this deal is very worthwhile.

The person who buys the memory fragments doesn't know their identity or appearance. Each time, the other party transfers the money first, and then he just throws the memory fragments into the designated location.

And according to this guy, this buying behavior started a month ago.

A month ago?

Da Dao Keji gave a light hum, then temporarily put the person in charge under his supervision, and then investigated the identity of the trading partner according to the instructions given by the person in charge.

To his surprise, the buyer did not try to hide his whereabouts and was very brazen, so much so that Da Dao Ke Ji found his hiding place in less than a night.

"You guys stay outside and provide backup, I'll go in and check it out by myself."

As Daido Katsumi took out the Lost Driver, he gave instructions to his teammates. Everyone's expressions became serious. They all realized that the operation had gone too smoothly, and there might be some unknown secrets or traps hidden within. Although they were immortals, this identity did not mean they were invincible.

"Squeak..."

After transforming, Daido Katsumi pushed open the warehouse door and slowly walked into the depths in the bright moonlight, warily watching the movements around him. At this moment, a sinister aura suddenly blew in, and with a crack of a whip, several spinning tops that exploded like bullets suddenly attacked.

Da Dao Keji drew his dagger and instinctively flicked it aside, but the astonishing force of the spinning top almost caused him to lose his grip on the weapon.

"Isn't it 'Joker'? What a surprise, there's another Kamen Rider in Fuuto."

With the echoing footsteps, a man with disheveled hair, dressed in an ancient style, and somewhat resembling a warrior, emerged from the shadows, a whip in his hand, and a gem resembling a Seed of the Holy Stone shimmering on his chest.

"Fine, since we're all Kamen Riders, it's all the same. Let's go."

The man pointed to the Great Way of Self-Discipline and said in a deep voice:

"For my long-cherished wish, obediently offer your strength."

157 The Worried Hometown

The sudden energy fluctuations that spread throughout the entire city of Fengdu startled Yuanxiang awake. Still somewhat dazed, he skillfully transformed and rushed outside. Looking at the colorful, still-lingering halo in the sky, the boy shuddered and fully woke up, hurrying towards the center of the spreading halo.

But when Yuanxiang arrived at the scene, he only saw the undead squad lying in the huge crater. Their bodies had rotten-like marks, which meant that they needed to be injected with cell-maintaining enzymes as soon as possible to avoid turning back into corpses.

What exactly happened?

While using the wind to lift them up, Gensou kept an eye on the surroundings, but because of the explosion, he couldn't find any trace of the battle. So for now, he could only wait for Daido Katsumi and the others to wake up before asking them about the situation.

“'Joker,' Kamen Rider 'Joker'.”

But just as Yuanxiang was about to leave, a cold voice came from the side. The knight looked warily toward the source of the voice and saw the man with the whip appear out of thin air at the edge of the pit. He held a mysterious device in his hand, and as he pressed a switch, a sharp sound immediately came from it. Then, the man looked coldly at Yuanxiang and said:

"As expected, Kamen Riders are different from one another. The final piece of the puzzle is best suited for you, 'Joker'."

'Snapped! '

Before he could finish speaking, seeing the unusual movement in Gensou, the man didn't hesitate to crack his whip. The spinning top hurtled towards Gensou. At the same time, the guy took out a flat, elongated box, about the size of a wallet, and slashed it across his belt. To the sound effect of 'HijackForm', several ghostly blue flames appeared beside him. Armor was born from the flames, attaching itself to his body, transforming him into a demonic Kamen Rider. The gem, resembling a Seed of the Holy Stone, was embedded in the chest armor.

"Kamen Rider Joker, I've heard of your exploits. As a samurai, I acknowledge you as a respectable warrior, but..."

The demonic Kamen Rider raised his whip, pointing it at Genji, who had just blasted the spinning tops apart, and said coldly:

"For my wish, I offer you everything. Remember my name, the one who will defeat you is me, Shiro, Kamen Rider Yuuki!"

After saying that, Kamen Rider Yuuki took out three spinning tops. With a flick of his whip, they split into two, then into four. In just a few lashes, a vast array of spinning tops filled the sky. Furthermore, the gem on Kamen Rider Yuuki's chest armor was shining brightly, as if a continuous stream of power was flowing into the rider's body.

Looking at the sharply spinning tops, Genji's expression was extremely grave. These tops possessed extraordinary power; blowing up this entire port area would be effortless. Therefore, he could withstand the attack, but Dao Keiji and the others couldn't. The Undead Squad's physical condition was already dire; if they suffered further damage, he truly worried that even the cell-maintaining enzymes wouldn't be able to save them. So…

Amidst the barrage of attacks, Kamen Rider stood before the Undead Squad. An 'X' symbol appeared on his chest, but vanished instantly, replaced by a semi-transparent 'X' mark behind him, as tall as the rider. A faint purple glow filled the mark, which then emitted a black radiance more dazzling than the sun. The spinning tops scattered across the sky vanished under the light, and Kamen Rider Yuuki was forced back several steps by the scorching light.

At this moment, Shiro clearly realized a problem: he had severely underestimated the power of Kamen Rider Joker. It was terrifying... Hmm?!

Before he could react, Shiro saw the black-and-gold knight appear before him, along with an ever-growing fist.

One second?

Perhaps not yet.

But Shiro had already been spinning backwards and flying away.

Kamen Rider Yuuki's mask was completely shattered. If it weren't for the gem's effect, Shiro's head would have been blown to pieces. But no matter what the gem was, it wasn't a Seed of the Sacred Stone, a fact Shiro was well aware of. So when he barely saw Genji charging towards him in his Rider form, which was boosted to its limit by the gem, Shiro's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly called for his train.

Just like Yuto Sakurai's Zero train departed, a train with a skull-shaped locomotive suddenly appeared from the side. The ghost-like train crashed straight into them, and Shiro took the opportunity to escape onto it.

This is a time train that can travel in a special space called "the time of the dead." It does not interfere with living beings and objects in normal space and can run through them, so based on past experience, he is now safe.

But... can someone explain to me how this living person came into contact with the ghost train?

Shiro stared blankly at the Black Gold Rider who had grabbed the end of the train and was pulling the Time Train back with brute force. He didn't know how to express his feelings at that moment. He couldn't help but look at Daido Katsumi, who was still unconscious beside him. These were both Kamen Riders who transformed using the Gaia Memory. Wasn't the difference in their strength a bit too big?

"Kamen Rider Joker, my wish has not yet been fulfilled, and my path continues to extend. So, see you in the future!"

Shiro gritted his teeth, tore the gem off his chest, and threw it at Genji. It exploded with a bang, making the wind tremble for a few seconds. But with the aura present, the aftershocks of the explosion were completely intercepted by Genji. However, the part of the train that Shiro was holding onto was also blown off. This escape method, like a gecko shedding its tail, allowed Shiro to successfully enter the mysterious vortex and escape.

Yuanxiang didn't say anything about this. He had already anticipated this when he focused on intercepting the aftershocks of the explosion, so there was nothing to regret. Since he was the so-called 'final piece of the puzzle,' they would definitely come after him again. At that time, he would not give that dead man another chance to escape. Now, he should hurry up and send Keji and the others to get cell maintenance enzymes.

"Cough cough cough!!!"

Just as Gensou led his men away from the pit, Shirou's ghost train came to a stop in a corner of Fuuto. He clutched his still throbbing head and leaned slowly against the wall. Although the plan to retrieve the 'Joker' had failed, at least...

Now... all we can do is wait.

According to Precia, once the device is activated, the 'book' from the same world as her will speed up its operation. After patiently waiting for a while, they might gain four reliable and exceptionally powerful 'allies.' At that point, it wouldn't be impossible for them to turn the tables and attack the terminal station. So... they can also defeat Kamen Rider Joker, right?

Shiro, recalling the power Precia had displayed, breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up at the sky, reached out his hand, and grasped it tightly out of thin air.

I will definitely bring you back to life, I promise!!!

.....

A moment later, after being injected with cell-maintaining enzymes, Daido Katsumi and the others slowly woke up. Looking at Gengo standing to the side, who was extremely worried, Daido Katsumi turned his head away embarrassedly. He didn't even need to guess; it must have been Gengo who rushed over to save them. Uh... how embarrassing, really embarrassing. He came to help, but instead, he kept holding them back.

Seeing Daido Katsumi's expression, Gengo knew what he was thinking. To be honest, with that gem similar to the Seed of the Sacred Stone, losing to Shiro wasn't really a shameful thing. But such words of comfort were still a bit inappropriate, so Gengo directly asked what was going on. Daido Katsumi then earnestly recounted his experiences over the past few days.

After hearing Daido Katsumi talk about how Shiro 'revived' all those damaged memories into monsters, Gengo couldn't help but interrupt him and ask:

"You mean the Memory Monster's resurrection is just bait to lure the Kamen Rider out?"

"Indeed, to be honest, I think this incident is beyond what Consortium X could have caused."

Dao Keji wiped his nose and looked at Yuanxiang seriously, saying:

"He used a rather special whip and lashed them once, and they all came back to life. If my memory hadn't been a perfect counter to those weirdos, it would have been an extremely troublesome matter."

"This is definitely not something that Foundation X did. It's related to a case I'm currently investigating. Hmm... Katsumi, let's finish talking about your case first, and then we can talk about mine."

"Okay, what happened next was embarrassing. I was defeated."

Da Dao Keji frankly recounted his defeat and continued:

"He pressed me onto a strange machine, like a miniature tower. Then I felt something being sucked away. The guy was muttering something like, 'Indeed, the soul of a warrior is the best energy source.' After that, my teammates were pressed onto the tower in the same way. After the ritual was completed, I saw the small tower decompose into dust and shoot into the sky, causing a huge energy shock. After that, I don't know what happened because I had passed out."

"It seems that the enemy's plan has been partially completed, and the winds of war are likely to be blowing in the near future."

After listening to Daido Katsumi's words, Gengo murmured thoughtfully, and then he told the Undead Squad about the 'Seed of the Holy Stone'. After listening, even Daido Katsumi was dumbfounded. They never expected that their investigation of the broken memory would actually lead them to such a major event.

"Anyway, you guys should take a rest first."

Seeing that Daido Katsuji and the others were in poor condition, Yuanxiang gently comforted them, saying:

"Your souls have been injured this time, so you need to rest properly. Otherwise, even if you are immortals, you may suffer some aftereffects. During this time, I will stay in Fengdu as much as possible, so you don't need to worry about the noise outside. That's settled. I'm going back to the office now."

"Okay, stop standing there like an idiot. Yuanxiang won't hurt us. Go and rest."

After all, if we don't get ourselves in the right state of mind, we won't be able to help if problems arise.

The undead squad members understood the unspoken message of self-discipline and obediently returned to their rooms. Gensou smiled politely, then adjusted his hat and turned to leave.

But halfway there, the boy suddenly stopped, gazed at the bustling city, remained silent for a long time, and finally sighed:

"I'm so envious..."

Gengo was envious of the barrier attached to the Seed of the Sacred Stone. No matter how badly the barrier was damaged inside, the outside world would not be affected. Therefore, Gengo really wanted the ability to deploy the barrier. Although the battle that happened in Fuuto had also caused damage to buildings, it was at least on a small scale.

Recalling the battles involving the Seed of the Sacred Stone during this period, Genji was genuinely worried that the city would be completely destroyed by the aftermath of the battle.

Although many people have already moved away from Fengdu because of the strange man, I still don't want it to become a dead city.

With another sigh, a worried Gengo silently touched the 'Cyclone' inside his coat. If a real fight were to break out, he would have no choice but to entrust it with the important task of shifting the battlefield.

Okay, don't think so badly. At worst, we can just use 'blank mode'. As long as we take out the enemy, we won't have to worry about destroying the wind.

Gengo patted his face to cheer himself up, then yawned and rubbed his eyes as he walked toward the office.

But he didn't go back to sleep. Instead, he turned around and came to another world. Looking at the familiar streets, Yuanxiang smiled. After selling an item and exchanging it for the currency of this world, the boy found the shopkeeper who had helped him last time, left the money and goods, and expressed his gratitude. To be honest, he was always afraid that he would forget about this matter.

Then, Gengo went to the police station and found Officer Kaoru Ichijo, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and asked about Yusuke Godai's residence.

That's right, Gengo came here to find help. He wants to resolve the incident as quickly as possible to prevent Fuuto from suffering too much damage. Therefore, more people means more strength, especially since Godai is also a Kamen Rider with considerable strength.

However, from Kaoru Ichijo, Gengo learned that Yusuke Godai had gone on a trip not long ago and had not left any contact information...
