Ryo Onoue smiled, nodded to Gengo, and said earnestly. Gengo smiled back, gave a thumbs up, and was about to leave when Mei Sudo suddenly remembered something and pointed upwards, making "Oh oh oh oh oh" sounds. Touma Kamiyama also realized what was happening, hurriedly ran up, and then came back with a lot of things, handing them to Gengo and saying:
"When I was changing your clothes, I found that these things were stained with blood, so I took the liberty of cleaning them."
"Haha, thank you so much. Without your help, I don't know how long these things would have been sitting in the laundry tub."
Genji gratefully accepted the items and stuffed them into his pockets and coat. At that moment, Mei Sudo chuckled and pointed at the Dodo plushie, saying:
"I didn't realize you had such a girlish heart, you're such a cute little thing."
"This? This was a gift from someone else. Consider it a token of our agreement."
Gensou shook the little Dudu plush toy and told everyone about his little promise with Klee. Of course, the content was modified. After listening, Touma Kamiyama subconsciously wanted to press down his hat, but just as he raised his hand, he remembered that his hat had also been washed, so he touched his nose instead and said:
"What a heartwarming promise! It's decided. If you ever need my help in the future, I'll definitely do it. It's a promise!"
"Okay, it's a deal then. Even if you don't want to help, I'll still pester you for it."
Gensou said with a smile, tossing his hat to Shinzan Touma, snapping his fingers, and pointing at the novelist:
"This hat seems to suit you quite well, so I'll keep it for you. Bye-bye!"
Gengo smiled and bid farewell to the busy swordsmen, returning to the agency. It was already night. 'Fang' skillfully jumped out of his coat and burrowed into his nest in the basement. 'Cyclone' also silently flew out, finding a place to continue trying to evolve and level up. Gengo placed Wangcai on the cabinet to recharge himself, and then the boy pushed open the door and went to the shopping street. After all, there were no peaches at home, and he needed to get some to display so that guests wouldn't find it strange.
However, on the way, Gengo heard an argument. It sounded like one of the people in the argument was someone he knew, so he curiously went over to see what was going on. Then he saw Mino Kamikawa grabbing Honro Nihon from the photography studio and yelling at him. This surprised Gengo, since the two old men usually got along quite well. Sometimes Honro Nihon would even get a free ramen meal at Mino Kamikawa's place. Why were they suddenly getting so worked up?
"Yuanxiang, you've come at the right time! It's this old geezer who's causing all this trouble!"
Since they weren't strangers, Gengo naturally went over to break up the fight. And just as he walked over, Mino Kamikawa's confidence swelled even more. The ramen shop owner pointed at Honro and said:
"It's because he used inferior materials that you're not in the photos he took!"
"Nonsense, nonsense! How could the materials used for photography, taking pictures, and developing photos be subpar!"
Benlang Erben, his face flushed with anger, said:
"If it can't be washed out, then it can't be washed out at all. There's no such thing as someone being missing. I think you old codger have learned some computer skills somewhere and are just using them to make fun of me!"
"Alright, alright, you're all over a hundred years old combined, why are you still so angry? Sit down, sit down, what's wrong?"
Gengo pressed the two old men into chairs and pulled over a stool, waiting to hear what had happened. The story wasn't complicated: when Gengo brought Sakurai Yuto to eat noodles last time, he discovered that his own photo was missing. The next day, Nano Kamikawa went to Honro Nihon to get another photo printed. Honro Nihon, of course, printed it without hesitation and took Nano Kamikawa out for a drink.
And then what happened? And then what happened?
Just now, the two men were eating noodles when he looked up and saw that Yuanxiang in the photo was gone again. He demanded an explanation from Benlang Erben, but he couldn't give a clear answer. After a while, the two stubborn old men got worked up.
"This is definitely not normal; anything abnormal seems like something a human wouldn't do."
Upon hearing Gensho's words, Honro's eyes widened immediately. He had just said something about joining in the cursing, but then he realized what was going on and whispered:
"Xiang, do you think it was done by the memory monster?"
"This... it doesn't seem like something a human could have done."
Gengo helplessly shrugged and said, which made Honroji, annoyed, lightly kick Nonogami Kagawa and say:
"You old codger, you can't even sell noodles honestly, how did you end up messing with the memory monster? Come on, stay at my place for a few days, so you don't get killed by the monster and no one will know."
"Get lost! I'm an honest noodle seller, why am I running away if I have nothing to hide? Get me another copy of the photos tomorrow, I want to see what kind of trouble this is!"
"I will also keep an eye on this matter."
Seeing the furious Mino Kamikawa, Gengo spoke softly, and Mino Kamikawa, embarrassed, rubbed his hands together and smiled, saying:
"I'm so sorry, Xiang, I'm so sorry to have troubled you again."
"It's alright, Uncle Mino. How could I ignore your matter? Alright, Uncle Mino, you can continue with your work. I have some things to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. If there's any new information about this photo, I'll definitely let you know as soon as possible."
"Alright, alright, Naxiang, see you later."
"Okay, see you later, Uncle Nao. Go home, Uncle Honro."
After bidding farewell to the two elderly people, Gensou continued on his way to buy peaches, but his expression was somewhat somber. Why had his image in the photo disappeared? It was naturally due to "blankness," but in the battle against the Holy Lord of Truth, he hadn't used much of the power of "blankness," so it shouldn't have resulted in his "existence" being erased. This...
and many more.
Could it be because of 'counterfeit tickets'?
Yuanxiang suddenly realized something and stopped in his tracks in astonishment. He was certain that he had not lost any of his memories. So, if forging the ticket could protect his memories, would one of the costs be his own existence?
ha.....
Gengo sighed wearily. If that was the case, then his path of "imitation" was still quite long and arduous. He should wait until he saw Sakurai Yuto again... no, he should go find Tianjin Si to sound him out. That guy seemed a bit dim-witted and should be easier to fool.
I'm sorry, Tianjin No. 4, please forgive me.
Yuanxiang clasped his hands together, sincerely apologized to Tianjin Si in his heart for three seconds, and then happily went to buy peaches.
After finishing all that, it was getting late. Although he wasn't very sleepy, Yuanxiang still obediently lay down on the bed to maintain a sense of ritual in his life, looking at the ceiling and counting sheep.
Just when Yuanxiang was getting really bored, his phone's indicator light suddenly flashed, which meant that a message had arrived. The boy sat up excitedly. Even if it was a scam message, he would still chat with the scammer for half an hour.
However, this time the message came from someone who was clearly not a scammer, but Da Dao Ke Ji. This guy had disappeared after saying he was going to destroy the corporate group X, and now he was contacting me on his own initiative. I wonder if he has encountered some problems.
"Oh, you're still awake? I'm not used to you replying to messages so quickly."
After replying to the message, Daido Katsumi started a video call. On the other end of the video, Daido Katsumi, wearing a tactical vest, sat in a room that looked like a hotel and smiled at Gengo, saying:
"I was already planning to contact you again tomorrow morning."
"Then you'd better send me a message tomorrow, honestly."
Gensho uttered this sarcastic remark with practiced ease, then leaned back in his chair and looked at Daido Katsumi, saying:
"What's wrong? Is there something you need my help with?"
"No, to be honest, with those memory fragments you gave me, I haven't encountered any enemies I can't defeat."
Dao Keji still spoke with considerable confidence, but he also made quite a few discoveries during this time.
For example, a few years ago, there was no organization called "Zaidan X" in the world. The so-called "Zaidan X" was actually an "alliance" formed spontaneously by a group of merchants who had made their fortunes by profiting from wars since ancient times.
Each of them outwardly appears to be affiliated with various legitimate business groups, and they secretly invest in the development of superhuman weapons such as Gaia Memory and immortal warriors with this "legitimate money," in order to bring more destruction and chaos and make more money.
However, after an unexpected incident occurred in Fuuto, where a formidable Kamen Rider named Joker emerged, these businessmen, in order to avoid being accidentally targeted by this Kamen Rider who had been secretly investigating Zaibatsu X, began to actively set up a smokescreen called 'Zaiba X'. They hoped to draw the attention of this dark knight to Zaibatsu X, since the businessmen's influence in Japan had been crippled by the dark knight who mistook them for Zaibatsu X.
However, these businessmen soon discovered that there seemed to be a lot of money to be made here, so the 'Conglomerate X' that was originally supposed to be a target began to operate as an organization, which is why Gensou was able to find the relevant entry in the Earth Library.
Therefore, if you want to eliminate Consortium X, it's not as simple as just destroying these strongholds; the business forces behind it are the real problem.
However, despite this, the current situation is not that dire. Many business forces participated in the last Nightmare Project. After all, who wouldn't want a piece of the pie when it comes to world domination, especially since the project was under the banner of 'absolutely eliminating Kamen Rider'?
Therefore, Yuanxiang's incident also severely damaged the forces behind the Zaibatsu X. According to what Dadao Keji has learned so far, many business forces have withdrawn from the alliance, and even those messy experiments have decreased significantly.
"Isn't this great?"
After hearing this, Gensou understood that eradicating all these forces would not be a matter of a day or two. However, the boy also realized that Da Dao Keji's visit to him might not be because of the Zaibatsu X.
"I just discovered something interesting a few days ago. Take a look at this surveillance video first."
"Oh?"
Hearing Daido Katsumi's words, Gengo's curiosity was piqued. He sat up straight, waiting for the documents to be sent. Then, Gengo saw a blurry surveillance video—a record of a laboratory somewhere being vandalized and destroyed. What made Gengo's expression turn serious was that, although the image was unclear, the figure of Kamen Rider Joker was unmistakably involved in the destruction, and...
This Joker's skills are so weird.
Although the Kamen Rider Joker in the scene is agile and decisive, there's something strange about him. Gengo thinks that if he were in that situation, his actions wouldn't be so...cold.
Ok.
It must be the word "cold." Throughout his battles, Gengo's fists have always been imbued with his emotions, a characteristic inherent to the 'Joker' memory itself. However, in this scene, though brief and blurry, Gengo felt that the Joker's attacks were simply and mechanically aimed at killing.
But... why do I feel like this guy's effort is no less than mine? What's the origin of this thing, and why are its base stats so high?
Completely baffled, Gengo had a huge question mark above his head. Putting aside for the moment why this Joker was in someone else's hands, why this Joker was there... these were even more perplexing questions. Gengo just wanted to have a fight with this guy and see what happened.
"As expected of the holder of the Joker Memory, he can ponder for so long just by looking at such a blurry surveillance video."
At that moment, Dao Keji's voice came from the other end of the video call. Yuanxiang glanced at the guy who was so focused on teasing him and asked softly:
"Where did this come from?"
"In the database of the South American branch of the Foundation."
The Great Way, through self-discipline and composure, explained:
"This plan was also found along with it."
He flipped through the plan that Da Dao Keji had sent him, his expression subtle as he read a few pages before expressionlessly closing the file and looking at his old friend, saying:
"I don't understand. Explain it to me."
"Haha, you, you need to study hard! Don't let your guard down just because you've graduated."
Upon hearing Gengo's words, Daido Katsumi immediately intensified his teasing with great pleasure, causing Gengo to raise an eyebrow and look at the guy with surprise, saying:
"Hey, are you sure you're okay? You're so cheeky, your image is about to collapse!"
"Ahem, is it really that exaggerated?"
Dao Keji coughed awkwardly and said, while Yuanxiang nodded firmly and said in a deep voice:
"To be honest, your liveliness makes me feel like you're not an immortal warrior."
"This is it."
Da Dao Keji slammed his hand on the table and explained:
"While dealing with Foundation X's base recently, we also collected some research on undead warriors. After my mother modified that data, it was found to be able to improve the memory and emotional loss problems of undead warriors. I was the first to test the drug, so if you sense anything is off, please bear with me. After all, you're my friend, hahaha!!!"
"emmm......"
Self-discipline, if you keep going like this you might turn into a goofball...
Watching Daido Katsumi laughing maniacally on the other end of the video, Gengo felt a mix of emotions as he watched his old friend make fun of him. He imagined what this person might become in the future, and the boy sighed inwardly with even more complicated feelings, but he didn't say anything more. After all, becoming a goofball was better than constantly losing his memories and emotions. Daido Katsumi would definitely live a happy life then.
Having thought this through, Yuanxiang stopped dwelling on the matter. He tapped the table, drawing Dao Keji's attention back to the main issue, and said softly:
"Alright, now explain to me what's going on. I really can't understand these files you sent me."
"Don't understand? That's good."
After putting his feet down from the table, Dao Keji turned to his side and said:
"I don't understand this either, Mom, can you explain it to me?"
"........"
Genji turned his head away with a black line on his forehead. He really needed time to accept that the cool and edgy Kamen Rider had become like this. Miki Daidou's explanation was very simple and clear: it was about the plan to 'create an independent space, simulate the environment of Fuuto, and mass-produce Kamen Rider Joker'.
