Kamen Rider Core screamed and charged at Gengo. Before that, Gengo punched the cracked but stubbornly unbroken ground. The destructive power of 'Fang Fang' easily dug a deep hole in it, and he jumped down.
Although Gengo had asked Shotaro and the others to find a weakness in Kamen Rider Core while treating their injuries during the blizzard, he himself hadn't given up on this task. The punches he landed with 'Joker Xtreme' were meant to allow 'Cyclone' to take advantage of its massive energy replenishment to find the location of his counterattack, but because the enemy recovered so quickly, he could only find a vague direction.
But after he used that 'super-planetary' impact, 'Cyclone' immediately found its exact location.
After jumping down the cave entrance, Gengo arrived at a mezzanine in the real world, where a huge emerald crystal was shining. Just as the name Kamen Rider Core suggests, this crystal was the location of his Core, which matched the information that Kamen Rider W had previously gathered.
Hearing Kamen Rider Core's roar from behind, Gengo unhesitatingly revealed his fang-like blade, shattering the emerald crystal. The terrifying energy surge that erupted instantly propelled Gengo and Kamen Rider Core back into the base space. Amidst the lingering energy fluctuations, Kamen Rider Core howled like ashes, turning into sparks and vanishing without a trace.
Almost simultaneously, a tiny, fiery phantom appeared behind Gengo, using the shockwave from the core explosion as cover to launch a sneak attack on the damned Kamen Rider. Before he could make his move, another sharp sound rang out from the sky, followed by another violent explosion that sent Shotaro and the others crashing to the ground. Clearly, they had also destroyed a green crystal core there.
This time, Kamen Rider Core completely lost the ability to struggle, and had no room for further resistance. He turned into sparks, ending his conspiracy that began with the time loop and his ambition to rule the universe.
With the destruction of the two cores, this ravaged stronghold began to crumble, and dazzling aurora-like colors intertwined between heaven and earth. This was a sign that the disrupted time was beginning to sort itself out. For Genji, who had experienced the God One incident, this was not an unfamiliar phenomenon.
"Yuanxiang, get in the car quickly!"
At this moment, Yuto Sakurai hurriedly shouted that, just like the world on Gengo's side, with the timeline being readjusted, this world would also begin to eliminate outsiders. He had to hurry up and send Shotaro and the others to the ground, and then take Gengo away from this world temporarily, otherwise, the two of them would be attacked by the world.
234 The Vanished 'Origin Homeland'
Yuto Sakurai repeatedly urged Tianjin Si to quickly bring the Zero Train over. This base space was extremely dangerous at the moment. Not only did they need to leave, but they also needed to get as far away as possible. Otherwise, if they were caught in the spacetime turbulence caused by the explosion, his Time Train, which was already overloaded by the Paradox System, might not be able to protect everyone.
But just as the Zero Train was about to arrive, everyone saw that the magnificent aurora seemed to be aimed at Genji. The fluctuating spacetime was clearly preparing to attack Genji, this outsider. This shocked Sakurai Yuto, but Genji already had the answer in his heart. It was simply a consequence of the Shinichi incident, causing him to have a closer relationship with the 'time' here. Therefore, it was at this moment that he was...
"Don't worry, I'll be going now."
Clearly, Gengo couldn't wait for the Zero Train to pick him up, so he took out the Rider Card that Tsukasa Kadoya had given him and summoned the power of the Aurora Veil within it. At this moment, because of the collapse of the base space, the effect of blocking the outside world disappeared, and Gengo could use it to return to his own world.
"It's alright, there's plenty of time. We'll meet again, everyone. Bye-bye~~"
Before he finished speaking, the smiling boy waved and disappeared from everyone's sight. Sakurai Yuuto hurriedly called everyone to get in the car and leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
"Phew...this feels so good, it's been a long time since I've felt this way..."
After passing through the Aurora Veil and returning to the office, Gengo took a deep breath, leaned against the wall, gently patted his chest, and exhaled. He had to admit that Kamen Rider Core was quite a good punching bag. Gengo hadn't found an enemy like this in a long time—one that was hard to switch hands with and also difficult to kill. On a whim, he used all the memory combinations he had thought of on Core, and also tested the power limit of the 'Fang·Fang' form. This whole ordeal gave Gengo a clearer understanding of his current strength.
But the price... is pain. To give an analogy, it's like there's not liquid flowing through his veins, but rolling spiky balls. Now, even his breath has a strong metallic smell. However, with the ripples around him, this kind of injury is nothing to worry about.
However, looking back now, my feelings are quite complicated.
Gensho leaned back on the sofa, gulped down some water, and then silently looked out the window. He had gone there to ask Philip for help with his 'blank transformation', but he hadn't had a moment's rest. After finishing the fight, he had to come back. He hadn't even been able to enter Philip's office. If it weren't for the unexpected new form he had brought back this time, he would have felt like he had lost out somewhere.
Oh, by the way, why is Fang so honest?
Gengo subconsciously pulled open his clothes and looked into the inner pocket. There, the 'Fang' memory, which seemed no different from before, lay quietly. But after noticing Gengo's gaze, a thick white mist flew out of his arms and landed on the boy's shoulder. The memory, which was originally like a USB drive, turned into a dinosaur model.
'Fang' swished its tail and bounced back and forth between Yuanxiang's left shoulder, head, and right shoulder, seemingly quite interested in its new body. However, after two rounds of bouncing, it lost interest, lay on Yuanxiang's outstretched palm, let out two weak growls, then rolled over, belly up, and swayed its body slightly. Yuanxiang then saw wisps of purple light moving within it.
Is it absorbing the power of the Dinosaur Core Medal?
Gengo nodded thoughtfully. Thinking about it, it made sense. After all, that was the power of ten Core Medals. With Eiji and Anhk as a reference, it was clear how terrifying that energy was. It was only natural that Fang would have indigestion because of it.
"I understand, I understand."
While Yuanxiang was thinking, Fang tugged at his clothes and shook, clearly wanting its owner's attention. Yuanxiang smiled helplessly and gently scratched its belly.
"Just digest this quietly for now. If you really can't digest it, I'll help you release the power of the Core Medal."
"roar....."
Upon hearing this, Fang let out a low growl, released Yuanxiang's clothes, and then transformed into a wisp of cold air, disappearing into the basement—
There was a basket there that Fang really liked, filled with leftover yarn from knitting. No one knows how the little guy found it, but in the period after he first acquired 'Fang,' he would hear noises in his house at night and think a thief had broken in. Only after realizing it was him did he realize...
"call....."
Just then, Gengo heard a strange gust of wind behind his head. He turned around and saw Wangcai. It landed on the cabinet, gracefully gripped the edge, and then everything went black as the power went out. It wasn't that it was broken, but during the battle, he had been trying to use a barrier to trap Kamen Rider Core. Although the plan failed due to the limitations of the space, the power consumption was real. Gengo was cautious and didn't share his power with it, so the power outage was quite normal.
However, Yuanxiang was also very tired, so he let the little crow recharge on its own. He leaned to one side, intending to take a nap on the sofa, but as soon as he leaned to one side, he suddenly sprang up, his expression slightly distorted as he clutched his side chest. The injury there hadn't healed yet, and that pressure was really refreshing and invigorating.
Gengo carefully propped himself up on the sofa and lay down, adjusting to a position that wasn't too painful. He then fell into a deep sleep, until the sound of a train whistling outside the office that night. Sakurai Yuto, carrying an oversized backpack, appeared at the door. He knocked gently, waited a few minutes, and then knocked again, finally waking Gengo. The boy rubbed his eyes, grumbling that he had slept so soundly that he had almost missed the change in his surroundings. He quickly straightened his clothes, got up, and replied:
"Hello, this is Fuuto Detective Agency. May I ask how I can help you... Yuto? What are you doing here... wait, what are you doing here? Get out of here, get out of here! It hasn't even been a month yet!!"
Upon seeing his friend whom he had just parted from, Gengo exclaimed in surprise in a low voice. The shock snapped him out of his daze, and he hurriedly urged Sakurai Yuto to leave. However, Sakurai Yuto calmly waved his hand, urging the boy to composed himself, and then pointed to his large backpack, saying:
“I carry the Paradox System terminal with me, so I’m safe for the next ninety minutes. Don’t worry.”
Indeed, after Gengo left, with the help of Philip and others, Yuto Sakurai was able to separate a portion of the Paradox System's power to use as a talisman. His effort to find Gengo was naturally due to important business.
"Tianjin Fourth!"
At that moment, Yuto Sakurai called out in a low voice. As the train whistle sounded again, the Imagin carrying a large box in each hand ran out of the alley. After politely greeting Gengo, it hurriedly ran back into the alley and returned to the Zero Train to maintain the stability of the Paradox System.
Meanwhile, Yuanxiang carried the boxes into the house together, and when they were opened, they found them full of sophisticated instruments.
"These are the devices Philip will use to examine your body."
Yuto Sakurai clapped his hands, taking things out of his large backpack as he spoke:
"Let's hurry up. I've learned all the procedures, so there won't be any problems. Come on, lie down and take off your shirt."
Gengo cooperated with Yuto Sakurai to complete the preparations. As he held the electrode to his chest, Yuto Sakurai looked at the hideous scar on the boy's chest and the abnormal bruises scattered all over his body. He was speechless for a moment. He turned his head away, exhaled slightly, sniffed, and then returned to his usual calm demeanor, starting to operate the equipment terminal.
"By the way, Yuto, are you all alright?"
During the examination, Gengo inquired about their physical condition with some concern. After all, he had only received very basic treatment during the blizzard, while Sakurai Yuto and the others seemed to have much more serious injuries.
"Hmm, it's alright now. I was feeling a bit unwell before, but after Kamen Rider Core was defeated, the power he left in our bodies dissipated as well. Now everyone is full of energy. Okay, don't talk yet, I'm memorizing the operating procedures."
What you just said has suddenly made me panic...
Gengo couldn't help but mutter a curse in his mind, then shut his mouth, feeling the weak current coming from the electric shock, and gradually became drowsy. But after hearing Sakurai Yuto slam his keyboard, he suddenly woke up, blinked and looked at his friend beside him, asking with his eyes if it was finished.
Yuto Sakurai ignored him, focusing intently on the screen and muttering to himself, clearly repeating the operation process. Finally, with a beep from the terminal, he breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to Gengo, and said:
"No problem, the data has been sorted and saved. We can take it back to Philip for analysis. Phew... this was no easy task."
"Thank you for your hard work, you've been a great help this time."
Gengo laughed, removed the electrodes, put on his clothes, and put his arm around Sakurai Yuto's shoulder, saying:
"Come on, let me treat you to dinner. I've heard your stomach rumbling for a while now, and I'm feeling a bit hungry too. Let's go!"
Yuto Sakurai did not refuse, but considering that he still needed to reserve the time for the paradox to be delivered to Philip's world, Gengo found the nearest place, namely the ramen shop in Mino Kamiga. After all, it was already late at night, and there were not many restaurants still open.
"Uncle Mingo, three servings of deluxe ramen."
"okay."
The extra portion that Yuanxiang requested was naturally for Tianjin Si. Although he hadn't appeared on the front lines during this period, the battle wouldn't have been so easy without his support. Moreover, the kitchen of the Zero Train was destroyed by the overloaded Paradox System.
When he saw that Yuto Sakurai was an unfamiliar face, Kamiya Nano didn't say much. After all, he had watched Fuuto Detective Agency grow up. If he accidentally said something wrong and ruined someone's case, that would be a serious offense.
"Uncle Mingye, you set up this photo wall pretty quickly."
Yuanxiang slurped his noodles while looking at the wooden board covered with photos on the wall next to him, but after swallowing the char siu, he asked in confusion:
"But Uncle, why did you put up a picture of someone without a face? And on top of all that?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't the top one the one we took for you back then...? Did I take the wrong one?"
As he spoke, Mino Kamiya peeked out, only to be astonished to find that Gengo was indeed missing from the photo; instead, there was only a steaming bowl of ramen. He frowned, racking his brains for a moment, and then muttered incredulously:
"Wait a minute, it was still here this morning. Could it be that some damn person replaced it for you? That's ridiculous. I'll have to install a camera on the photo wall later! Yuanxiang, don't worry, Uncle will print another one for you tomorrow and put it on top again."
"Haha, thank you very much then. Hiccup, I'm full. Thank you for the treat."
"Welcome back next time. Here, this is the portion you want to take away."
After finishing their meal, Gengo led Sakurai Yuto towards his office, when he heard a very solemn voice behind him:
"Yuanxiang, there's something I need to tell you."
"Yuto?"
Gengo looked curiously at his friend carrying the ramen, quietly waiting for him to continue. Sakurai Yuto took a deep breath and said softly:
“My previous transformations actually came at a price. Every time I used the Rider Pass to transform, it would consume other people’s memories of ‘Sakurai Yuto’. So I have quite a bit of experience in this area. Gengo, the disappearance of you in that photo just now was not an accident. If I’m not mistaken, it was the result of your ‘blankness’. It’s just that your disappearance is not other people’s memories of you, but a trace of your existence.”
"........."
"It seems your situation is worse than Philip predicted."
Looking at the silent boy, Sakurai Yuto sighed, stepped forward, took out the fiery red Knight Pass, handed it to Genji, and said softly:
"This is a Knight Pass that I modified, specially prepared for you. However, I really don't want to give it to you unless absolutely necessary, because although it can cover some of the 'blank' cost for you, in exchange, you will lose everyone's memories of you... Promise me, don't use the Knight Pass unless your life is in danger. We will analyze your data as soon as possible to find a solution, so... you must promise me!"
235 Zhuang Wu, I am not your master
"I understand."
Gengo nodded seriously, then reached out to take the knight pass, but Sakurai Yuto gripped the other end tightly and stared at Gengo, saying in a low voice:
“Yuanxiang, you must remember that ‘time is memory, and memory is existence.’ If you are forgotten because of the power of this Knight’s Pass, you will be lost in the corridor of time, and there will be no place for you in this world.”
"I'll remember that."
These words were somewhat unexpected by Gengo, but he did not hesitate and continued to get the Knight Pass. This time, Yuto Sakurai let go of his hand and watched Gengo put the item into the inner pocket of his coat.
"Alright, since that's the case, I won't stay any longer. Philip is still waiting for my reply. Goodbye, Gensho. Oh, by the way, here you go."
As they packed up their equipment and prepared to leave, Yuto Sakurai suddenly remembered something, turned around, tossed a piece of candy to Gengo, and said:
"Tianjin asked me to give this to you. It's a peach candy that's been blessed at a shrine. Eating it will bring you good luck."
"Haha, please thank Tianjin Si for me."
Gengo smiled, unwrapped the candy, popped it into his mouth, and playfully waved a thumbs-up at his friend. Sakurai Yuto smiled knowingly and then left this world along the alley.
After Yuto Sakurai left, Gengo was wide awake. He sat in front of his computer and opened all the web pages he had saved, keeping an eye out for any strange things or rumors that might have happened in Fuuto recently.
'Damn it, my cured pork is gone! This must have been done by that memory-devouring monster.'
Go find stray cats and dogs for this kind of thing! The memory monster isn't busy stealing this! Okay, next one.
"Bro, click the link below to see my social media superpower performance!!"
Bro, being socially savvy doesn't mean being shameless. Why hasn't the administrator deleted this ad-like post yet? Move on to the next one.
"Although I'm only nine years old, I'm already a big sister! Follow me as I bravely climb the Fengdu Tower!"
Kids these days are so pitiful; their embarrassing pasts are all in 4K high definition. I hope she doesn't want to strangle herself in the future.
