I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

"You bastard~~ Are you looking for a beating~~~"

The young man's words immediately provoked the anger of the group. A bald man clicked his tongue, picked up a bottle, and walked towards him. The young man smiled disdainfully, unzipped his leather jacket to reveal a cross hanging around his neck, pointed to his head, and looked at the bald man with a cold laugh, saying:

"Come on, hit right here. If you hit it, you win."

"West Seat, how about giving me some face?"

At that moment, Genji's voice came from the side. He had already handed Takamachi Nanoha over to Kocho Shinobu, letting the others go ahead, and then he walked over, looking at the bald man and saying:

"Let's go somewhere else to continue our drink. This is my guest."

"Ah, the village... Haha, we have to give them face."

Seeing the boy approaching, the bald man's fierce expression vanished instantly. He tossed the bottle aside, chuckled, and rubbed his hands together as he answered. This bald man's child had been lost once before, and Yuanxiang had found him in the countryside, so he was very grateful. Therefore, he didn't even utter any harsh words before leaving with his companions.

"You're really meddling. I was just thinking of warming up."

The young man shook his leather jacket, looking at Yuanxiang with displeasure, and said, "I'm not angry." Yuanxiang calmly replied, "I am not angry."

“That guy from the West Tower still likes to cause trouble, and sometimes even the locals find it a real headache. I don’t want my guests to have any bad impression of Fengdu because of that.”

"Are you sure your reputation is that useful?"

The young man looked around at Xiayuan Township, then leaned against a stone bench with interest, crossed his arms, and looked at him, saying, "Can you guarantee that the person isn't saying one thing and doing another?"

"Don't condemn him so easily. Mr. Nishizawa is quite sentimental. My name is Gensou, a detective from the Fuuto Detective Agency. May I ask who you are, sir...?"

"Hmph, I'm not a guest," the young man snorted, stood up, pointed to himself with his thumb, and said, "I'm also from Fengdu, I just haven't been back for too long. As for my name... you don't need to know. Anyway, I just stopped by to take a look, and I might leave soon. I probably won't be back for a long time."

"In that case, would you like a guide?"

Yuanxiang said with a smile:

"If you've come back and have nothing else to do, I imagine you'd like to see more of Fengdu, wouldn't you? Perfect timing, I'm extremely familiar with this place, and I'm sure I can show you around in a short time."

"Your enthusiasm is unexpected."

The young man grabbed Gensou by the collar, pressed his face close to his, and looked at Gensou, who had suddenly closed his eyes. A cold, imposing aura emanated from him as he said in a low voice:

"So you really have something on your mind? Are you so guilty that you don't even dare to look me in the eye?"

"No... your hair poked my eye..."

Seeing Yuanxiang rubbing his eyes, the young man's expression stiffened slightly, and he glanced at his loose bangs.

It is indeed quite long...

"Hmph, how boring."

Young Song Kaiyuan snorted and crossed his arms, saying, "Well, whatever you're thinking, since you're being so proactive, I won't hold back. Let's see if you're just bragging."

"Hmph, Fengdu is my backyard, there's absolutely no problem with that."

Upon hearing this, Yuanxiang confidently shook his finger, then continued rubbing his eyes and whispered, "Guest, did you get some hairspray on your bangs? It hurts to get poked like that."

"...Why are you so talkative, you little detective? Let me see, it's just a little poke, is it really that big of a deal?!"

The young man, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, pulled Yuanxiang over, pried open his eyelids to take a look, and then pushed Yuanxiang aside: "There's nothing wrong at all, it's just your imagination. You pampered detective, stop rubbing, don't blame me for any problems you find out!"

"Okay, okay, let's stop rubbing then... let's get going."

Looking at the rather overly familiar detective in front of him, the young man covered his forehead and sighed. He felt a little uncomfortable, but not particularly disliked him. Oh well, he wouldn't lose out anyway, so he'd just see how good the detective was.

The location chosen by Yuanxiang was indeed carefully considered. Although the places were not far apart, due to the altitude and angle, they always offered different views of the city, allowing the young man to intuitively experience the changes and vitality of the city in a short period of time.

only......

The young man silently observed Yuanxiang walking ahead. From another perspective, the places he had just chosen were also extremely suitable for sniping and ambushes. Was this really a coincidence?

Yuanxiang didn't notice the change in the young man's eyes. He was leading the young man toward Fengdu Tower. Although if the young man was really from Fengdu, then he must have been to Fengdu Tower before, for a wanderer away from home, this place was well worth a visit. After all, you could almost have a bird's-eye view of the entire Fengdu from the tower. Just by glancing around, you might find a place that would evoke memories.

"The Tower of the Wind? It's been so many years, and it's still here."

It seemed Yuanxiang hadn't chosen the wrong place. The young man behind him sighed deeply, leaning on the railing, looking down at the familiar yet unfamiliar city, and hummed softly:

"Well done, little detective. I'll just give you a compliment. The wind of Fengdu... it's been a long time. It's a pity. If I had more memories, I might have been able to express even better sentiments."

Hearing the young man's words, Genji simply smiled and remained silent. Not all sentiments require a response. However, to Genji's surprise, after saying this, the young man turned to leave. Genji blinked and couldn't help but ask:

"Aren't you going to take another look?"

“It’s meaningless, I’ll forget about it sooner or later anyway,” the young man waved his hand casually. “Besides, I don’t have a home in the city, so there’s not much to miss.”

"I see. That's a real shame. By the way, may I ask where you live now? If I ever travel for work in the future, I might be able to pay you a visit."

Yuanxiang followed behind him, smiling as he changed the subject, but unexpectedly the young man suddenly stopped, leaned against the stair railing, and looked at Yuanxiang sideways. Yuanxiang didn't know what he had said wrong, so he could only blink blankly.

However, the young man's cold face suddenly curled into a smile, and he said softly, "After all these years, I still..."

"No, that's not quite right."

To the young man's surprise, Yuanxiang immediately retorted, smiling warmly and slightly wagging his finger as he said:

"Grandpa once said that 'home' is not a house filled with furniture, but the people who truly miss you. Even if you don't like them, they are still like an inextinguishable bonfire, giving you endless warmth when you come back. As long as they are there, anywhere can be your home."

"...Ha, that's quite a style."

The unexpected reply softened the young man's hum. Yuanxiang smiled, patted the young man's shoulder, and said:

"Right? These are my grandfather's classic quotes. You can believe them, it's free to believe them."

"Where did you come from, priest? Are you trying to convert me to Christianity?"

The young man looked at Genji with a subtle expression and said, "I'm now certain that I'm not good at dealing with this detective. Oh well, I've been out long enough, it's time to..."

"Haha, rounding it up, it does make sense, doesn't it? If you don't believe me, come over for a cup of tea when you're tired from running around. You'll be very welcome."

At this moment, Gensho's words interrupted the young man's thoughts. He glanced at Gensho in surprise, only to see Gensho's sincere eyes. Gensho smiled, leaned against the railing, and spread his hands, saying:

"To be honest, I only wanted to help you before because you spoke up for Kamen Rider. But after talking with you for a while, I found that although you are a bit dishonest, you are still a good person. So, I'll take a gamble and give it a try."

As Yuanxiang spoke, he took out a name tag, handed it to the young man, and said softly:

"Let's take a gamble and see if we can become friends."

"Ha, is this how detectives expand their networks?"

Looking at the business card, the young man hesitated for a moment, then snatched it away, waved it at Yuanxiang, and said:

Are you really that confident in your judgment?

"No, my judgment isn't actually that good, but..."

Yuanxiang playfully gestured with his fingers to resemble a camera frame, then waved it at the young man and said with a smile:

"A guy as serious and cold as you might be a tough guy, and tough guys are definitely worth befriending."

A tough guy, huh...?

The young man twirled the business card, a smile playing on his lips. Then, he suddenly remembered a member of his team. His expression shifted slightly; he looked at Yuanxiang warily, took a step back, and said coldly:

"My sexual orientation is heterosexual."

"Clam?"

This left Yuanxiang speechless. He froze for a moment, then hugged himself and took a step back as he replied:

"I am male, and I like women, so don't overthink it."

"Hey, what's with that expression... Never mind, I'm too lazy to argue with you. I'll take your business card. Maybe we'll meet again someday."

After speaking, the young man turned and walked downstairs, but upon hearing the footsteps that followed behind him, he frowned slightly, turned back to Yuanxiang, and said:

"Is there anything else you need from me?"

“Well, I want to go down too,” Gensou replied matter-of-factly. “I can’t just jump down, um…you haven’t forgotten we’re still on the tower…”

"So verbose!"

"It's not about being long-winded or not..."

"So verbose!"

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault."

Looking at the young man in front of him, whose face was cold and seemed ready to strike at any moment, Yuanxiang nodded helplessly in agreement. Looking at his expression, the young man sighed inwardly. He had indeed made a fool of himself by not thinking straight for a moment, but he felt that if he admitted it, and they happened to meet again in the future, this man would probably make fun of him about it.

Therefore, we cannot admit it, no matter what, we cannot admit it!

Watching the young man walk down the aisle without looking back, Yuanxiang smiled and said nothing more. Just as he had said, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, a chance to try his luck. They might not become friends, but if he didn't explain, they definitely wouldn't become acquainted. So he chose to take the first step.

Although I was prepared to be rejected, you didn't have to run away this fast...

Watching the young man disappear into the distance with a series of quick steps, almost out of sight, Yuanxiang scratched his cheek helplessly, then put his hands behind his back and, like a little old man, slowly and leisurely walked down the street.

But when he came down from the tower, he found his name tag stuck in the door frame. Genji shook his head slightly, intending to retrieve it, but then he noticed some writing on the back of the name tag. He looked closer—

"The Great Way is to Subdue Oneself"

Is that his name? Wait, the Great Way is Self-Discipline?!

This name startled Genji. Philip had once said that the user of the "Eternal" Memory was named Daido Katsumi. Could it be...?

Just as Gengo was searching everywhere for Daido Katsumi's whereabouts, Daido Katsumi and his companions had already left Futo in a jeep.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?"

As he was wiping his dagger, Daido Katsumi glanced at his companion and said softly, "Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just think you seem to be in a pretty good mood, Xiao Keji."

"In a good mood? Hmph, I just met an interesting guy and heard some amusing things."

Dao Keji sheathed his dagger, leaned against the box behind him, and began to close his eyes to rest. But after a while, he suddenly said:

"If we're going the same way next time, let's go somewhere together. I'm really looking forward to seeing how that little detective reacts when he sees you guys. I wonder if he'll still be able to say those nice things, hahaha..."

083 Chen Huijie's Crisis

"Ha... I was indeed a step too late. I never expected to meet you under these circumstances. The Great Way is self-discipline."

Half an hour later, Gengo watched the footage of Daido Katsumi leaving on the monitor and sighed helplessly. Earlier, when they were in another Fuuto, Philip had mentioned the name 'Daido Katsumi' when sharing information.

Because he is not only the user of Kamen Rider Eternal, but also a test subject for another biological weapon experiment by Foundation X.

He had originally died in a tragic car accident, but his mother, Miki Daidou, experimented on him in an attempt to revive him, making him the most...
