I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

Seeing the dark aura appearing in Talulah's eyes, Yuanxiang quietly formed a plan in his mind and gently placed his hand on the silver-haired dragon girl's shoulder.

"Don't worry about me, Gengo. This is a responsibility that I must bear as the leader of the Reunion Movement."

Feeling the touch on her shoulder, Talulah thought Genji was still comforting her, so she looked up at him as she spoke, trying to convey her firm belief. But when she saw the boy's mysterious smile, Talulah's heart trembled. Although she didn't understand why Genji was smiling like that, she was sure it wasn't just to comfort her.

"I learned a little trick during this time."

Gensou smiled and whispered to Talulah:

"So, could you please close your eyes? I promise you, it will help you relax."

.........

!!!

So you've been out gallivanting all this time?! What are you doing learning that stuff at such a young age?!

Talulah wasn't an naive girl. Hearing Genji's words, a series of inappropriate images flashed through her mind, causing her to tremble in fear...

"Close your eyes."

"Oh."

Oh my god!

Urged on by Gensou, Talulah subconsciously closed her eyes and inwardly berated herself, but at the same time, she couldn't help but hold her breath slightly, not knowing what she was expecting.

At that moment, Talulah suddenly felt a cold, stinging pain on the shoulder that Gensou was holding, and a nauseating sensation came from there. She instinctively tried to open her eyes to see, but just then, she heard the boy's whisper in her ear:

"I'm sorry, Alina is actually completely dead."

"........"

Talulah opened her eyes abruptly, looking at the smiling boy in front of her. Seeing the disbelief in Talulah's eyes, Genji nodded and continued smiling as he spoke:

"It's true. You can see her body when you go back now."

"...Alina...is she dead...? What a pity."

Talulah closed her eyes in anguish, tears streaming down her cheeks. Flames flickered on her tightly clenched fists, mirroring the dragon girl's grief. At that moment, something ominous seemed to stir within her soul. A twisted smile flashed across Genji's face before her, as if he were insane, but he returned to normal in the next second.

Soon, Talulah opened her eyes. The dragon girl looked at Gensou and said, trying her best to remain calm:

“She is my dearest friend, and I will always remember her. But the Reunion Movement will not stop because of this. Let’s go back to the base. We need to have a good discussion about how to proceed next.”

"Should I join the discussion too?"

"of course."

Talulah looked at Gensou and said with a smile:

"Even though you are not infected, everyone believes in you."

"Oh, I see. Hmm, let's go back then, but..."

Gensou, standing before Talulah, grinned, his狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) mouth almost reaching his ears, and said in a bizarre voice:

Is it really possible to go back?

"Ok?"

Talulah showed no surprise at the boy's expression, blinking as if it were commonplace. She seemed not to understand why Genji had said that, but she soon realized that as the boy slowly raised his hand, a gust of wind blew, and at the same time, Talulah saw dark figures being lifted up by the wind behind him. These dark figures were the Reunion Movement team that had returned with her. She even saw Patriot, but the old man had lost his fighting ability, and the halberd and shield in his hand were broken.

"Talulah, Talulah, you are so innocently cute."

Gengo reached out and lifted Talulah's chin. Only then did the dragon girl seem to see the sinister smile on the boy's face and show a look of fright. But before she could say anything, Gengo clenched his fist. Talulah then saw her comrades being crushed by the wind, their flesh and blood turning into a torrential downpour that poured down from the sky.

At the same time, a surge of boundless rage welled up in Talulah's heart. She stared intently at Genji, not understanding why he would do such a cruel thing, but her body was firmly suppressed by the wind, unable to move an inch.

"I just want to see that resentful look on your face~~~"

At this moment, Gensou pinched Talulah's chin and said in a tone of blissful comfort, as if drinking nectar:

"You think I called you out alone just to prevent you from discovering the fireworks beforehand? You didn't actually think I was going to confess my feelings to you, did you? Hahaha, how ridiculous."

Finally, Genji's smile vanished, and he looked at Talulah with disdain, saying:

"I'm not infected, why would I choose trash like you as my lover? Don't I have better options? You tell me, right?"

Despite her raging anger, Talulah realized that Gensou's last words weren't directed at her... "Are there other people behind me?"

"Of course, infected people are the lowest of creatures, how could they possibly be worthy of you?"

Hui Jie?!

Talulah stared wide-eyed as Chen Huijie walked out from behind. While she was still in shock, the young man in front of her kissed the Dragon Girl of Lungmen. Their intimate and affectionate relationship indicated that it had developed to a very deep stage.

"Sister, ah, no, Talulah, I never thought that you, an infected person, would have the nerve to come up to me and call me sister."

After the French kiss ended, Chen Huijie licked her lips, breaking the ambiguous silver thread between her lips and the boy's. She then wrapped her arms around Yuanxiang's neck and said in a disdainful tone:

"But since you treat me like a younger sister, it's only right that you, as the older sister, do something for her. Perfect, I need a little more merit to get promoted, so I'll use your head as a substitute. Oh, and by the way, don't say I'm too heartless~~~"

At this moment, Chen Huijie smiled slightly, faced Talulah, and reached behind her with both hands as if she had grabbed something spherical. Seeing her mischievous smile, Talulah's heart sank, and a bad premonition immediately arose.

"Ta-da! Ta-da~! Do you like this gift?"

Seeing the severed, unseeing head of Alina that Chen Huijie had produced, Talulah's expression froze instantly. It wasn't because she had expected it, but because she no longer knew how to express her feelings at this moment. However, flames containing murderous intent burst forth, instantly burning the two despicable people in front of her to death.

Amidst Chen Huijie and Yuanxiang's wails, Talulah shuddered as if waking from a dream. Unable to accept it, she shook her head and took a step back, but tripped over something. At the same time, Talulah felt her hand touch something sticky. Looking down, she saw a pool of blood, and from the dark blood, hands reached out and pulled Talulah into it. As she struggled, she realized that the owners of those hands were all infected comrades who followed her.

"Chief, why is Gensou a traitor?"

"Chief, I was clearly following your orders, so how could I have died?"

"Chief, it hurts so much..."

"Chief, is it really possible for infected people to hold hands with non-infected people?"

.........

The questions posed by the dead made Talulah clutch her head and scream incoherently:

"I don't know, I really don't know... why did it turn out like this, why..."

As Talulah's mentality collapsed, a snake-like shadow emerged from the black blood, slowly swimming towards Talulah, seemingly wanting to swallow her whole.

"As expected, you have a serious problem."

In reality, Genji looked at the dazed Talulah before him, at the curse-like soul power surging within her, and slowly took out a blank memory device—

Just now, Yuanxiang speculated that the appearance of that strange aura was related to Talulah's emotions... or more accurately, her will. So, when he put his hand on her shoulder, he released a tiny wisp of the evil thought that he had suppressed deep in his soul, in order to cause a change in Talulah's mentality and see if he could use this to lure out the problem in her.

Of course, considering that things would go smoothly, Gengo didn't give any prior notice, but... how should I put it, I really didn't expect it. The soul curse that was just forced back because of Talulah's mood change just now would actually unleash such a terrifying aura. Under the influence of this curse, Gengo felt that Talulah in front of him seemed to have become a different person, just like someone who had been possessed by a powerful being in a novel.

However, if that's all there is to it, then you should obediently step back and return Talulah to her.

At this moment, Gengo had already fastened the Dual Driver to Talulah's waist, placing the blank memory on his left side, and the 'Cyclone' he had already activated on his right. As the Dual Driver was pushed open, Gengo's body slumped down, but the boy's soul, guided by the wind, had already transformed into data and flowed into Talulah's body...

'Talulah, my daughter, become me!'

Within the black blood, a serpentine shadow silently appeared above Talulah's head, its massive jaws snapping open to devour her. But at that moment, a swift, emerald wind brought with it an iron will, blasting the vicious serpentine shadow away with a single punch. Then, a radiant light of the soul bloomed, and a translucent boy stood beside Talulah, banishing the ghostly figures to within three feet. Talulah also sensed the change in her surroundings, looked up, and saw Genji's slightly smiling face, and his outstretched hand reaching towards her.

"There's no time to daydream."

The boy reached forward, grabbed Talulah's arm, and pulled her up, pointing to the restless snake shadow above, saying:

"The infected need you, so let's beat this bastard up together and get back to reality."

"...Yuanxiang, can you hold the hand of an infected person?"

At this moment, Talulah cautiously reached out her hand to Gensou, her uneasy eyes filled with a mixture of disappointment and anticipation.

"I'm sorry, I should have discussed it with you before taking action. I've made you suffer. I'm willing to accept your punishment when we get back to reality."

Seeing Talulah's expression, Genji seemed to realize something. He sincerely apologized while firmly grasping the dragon girl's hand, then pressed down on his hat and said:

"Let me pay the deposit now, trust me, it'll be fine."

204 - A Trap That Guarantees to Lose

Compared to the malevolent thoughts attracted by Nightmare, the allure and impact of the snake shadow in front of him were too weak to break through his defenses. However, what was more concerning was that the snake shadow seemed to be targeting Talulah, and he was just a 'passerby' affected by wave after wave of mental attacks. But in any case, under Genji's attack, the originally turbid soul world returned to clarity. Only the pitiful snake shadow huddled in a small corner, trembling as it watched Genji warm up and prepare to unleash his 'Ora'.

“Oh, my daughter, I never expected you to receive such help.”

At this moment, the snake-like figure emitted a strange sound, its tone so intimate that it didn't seem like it was in danger, but rather chatting about life with its loved ones in a warm home. However, Talulah didn't respond. She looked at the boy before her and said in a low voice:

"Yuanxiang, don't listen to his nonsense, deal with him."

"You're afraid of me... um!"

The snake-like shadow tried to provoke Talulah's anger with a mocking tone, but before it could finish speaking, it was shattered by Gensou's iron fist. In an instant, black fragments, like yellow paper ash, scattered throughout the soul space, like rats fleeing in all directions, hiding and waiting for this opportunity.

However, aren't you being a bit disrespectful to me?

Yuanxiang raised an eyebrow, and a wisp of emerald wind surged forth from behind him, blasting all the black fragments away. After accomplishing this, the young man snapped his fingers and looked at the dragon girl behind him, saying:

"It's finished. Let's meet outside."

As soon as she finished speaking, Talulah saw Yuanxiang's body turn into a stream of glowing green data and disappear before her eyes. She herself was also momentarily dizzy. When she came to her senses, the surroundings were no longer the pure white soul space, but a small forest on the snowfield.

At that moment, Talulah saw Genji take out a memory that looked like it was covered in mud from the driver on his waist. The snake-like shadows constantly moving on the surface of the memory made the dragon girl's eyes widen. She stood up and said to Genji with great seriousness:

“Yuanxiang, destroy it. Don’t use Kosiché’s power; that would be like asking a tiger for its skin.”

"That's what I thought too, but this thing is a bit special."

Gengo examined the memory in his hand. It contained the Snake Shadow Fragment that had been banished by 'Cyclone'. To be honest, Gengo had inserted this blank memory into the other side of the Dual Drive to prevent any accidents from happening to Talulah, so that he could use this as a targeted external aid. However, he didn't expect to accidentally trap this thing inside. But he had a feeling that if he crushed this memory, this nasty thing would return to the Dragon Girl along the connection between it and Talulah.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just eliminating it."

After uttering such a nonsensical remark, Genji directly plunged the memory containing the snake's shadow into his body, much to Talulah's sudden widening of eyes. Wisps of black energy then appeared on the boy's cheeks, but in the next second, they vanished without a trace, as if nothing had happened.

Genji, with his eyes closed, sensed the changes within his own soul. The snake-shadow curse, after entering his soul, began trying to lurk, but Genji calmly grabbed its vital point, tossed it into the area of ​​malevolent intent, and listened intently. After about three seconds, he heard the snake-shadow's frenzied howl, nodded in satisfaction, and then turned his attention back to reality—

To be honest, Yuanxiang was also quite afraid that the thing wouldn't be completely eradicated and that some fish would slip through the net, which is why he made this attempt. And now it seems that he has a pretty good 'garbage disposal plant'.

"Alright, it's settled."

Genji waved the now-blank memory fragment at Talulah, then lowered his head and said apologetically:

"I am very sorry that my miscalculation caused you to suffer this pain. As I said before, I am willing to accept any punishment you give me, and I only hope to gain your understanding."

"There's no need for that, Yuanxiang. We're friends. I believe your intentions were for my own good."

Talulah quickly pressed down on Gensou's shoulder, trying to make him lift his head, and said softly with a smile:
