"Do not worry."

Yuanxiang smiled and shook his head, saying:

"That kind of memory erasure technique isn't something I can use whenever I want, so just pretend that technique doesn't exist."

"Oh, I see. Then it's alright."

Upon hearing this, Kiryu Sento nodded in relief. Although he really wanted to ask about the underlying principles so he could try to develop technology to counter this skill, he reconsidered. Genji was a boy who could switch freely between god, ghost, bugger, and human; the things he was involved in were probably beyond his comprehension in a short time. Since that was the case, he decided not to waste time. Time was of the essence, so he chose to trust Genji. This man was exceptionally reliable. Back in the world of Kamen Rider Easiid, upon seeing Genji's appearance, all the Kamen Riders instinctively chose to trust him, demonstrating his prestige.

"By the way, what are you planning to do next, Yuanxiang?"

Kiryu Sento glanced at Genjiro. Although he didn't say much, he understood that the boy had already made his decision.

"I'll go find the Prime Minister of Tokyo, Himuro Taizan. Since Faust's organization has so-called high-level government management, let's go and see. I believe Himuro Taizan will also be very interested in this matter."

Gengo took the cookies from Misora ​​Isurugi, tasted them, nodded in satisfaction, gave her a thumbs-up, and took all the cookies, intending to eat them on the way. He then continued from where Kiryu Sento left off, saying:

"I will also try to investigate Wan Zhanglong's side. Himuro Taizan is a very discerning guy, and I think he won't object to cooperating with me."

"Alright, then I'll continue studying what the Supreme God left behind. I have a feeling I can get some inspiration from it."

"no problem."

Gengo waved to Kiryu Sento, then turned and left, heading towards the Prime Minister's residence. Although he wasn't a ghost anymore and needed to avoid cameras, but...

Ok.

The boy sighed helplessly and took out the 'cyclone'. His body was really not up to par right now, and he simply couldn't rely on his physical strength to get through.

"So we still need to find nebula gas, and we have to hurry up and force it to grow faster."

While it may be said that this is like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, it depends on the person. For a newcomer like Kiryu Sento, too much power too early might cause him to misunderstand his own level. But a seasoned veteran like Genji wouldn't have such a misperception.

However, on the other hand, while he was glad that Kiryu Sento and the others hadn't lost their memories, this still raised some doubts for Genji. When the price of becoming a god was settled, the scope of the impact was terrifyingly vast. Even without seeing it, it seemed...

Who does it resemble again?

Gensou suddenly froze. In his mind, he saw a pair of sisters holding knives and a young man with an extremely burly figure whose hat seemed to be attached to his head. But as soon as those figures appeared, they immediately disappeared again. Then, the last remaining sense of déjà vu and familiarity in Gensou's heart completely vanished.

"...There's nothing to regret."

Yuanxiang, who was climbing over the wall, pursed his lips in silence, then walked toward the Prime Minister's residence with a resolute look in his eyes. Although he didn't remember his former friends, and those friends probably didn't remember him either, Yuanxiang firmly believed that he had already resolved his friends' issues. They would continue to live happily with their families at their own pace, they just didn't remember each other, they were just strangers, and there was no other impact.

Oh, right, we've gone off on a tangent.

Gengo patted his cheeks, pulling his wandering thoughts back. Looking at the guards in front of him, he quietly hid in a corner and continued to think. The more he experienced the terror of that wave of reckoning, the more he felt that it was strange that only a certain snake-skinned monster on Kiryu Sento's side had lost his memory. Even if it was based on probability, this still made Gengo feel that something was amiss.

"who?"

At this moment, Gengo had already arrived at Himuro Taizan's office. When the window was gently pushed open and the boy appeared in the room, the old man immediately sensed something, turned his head and shouted sharply. He wanted to call the guards outside the door immediately, but before Gengo could open the window, the wind had already enveloped the room, and Himuro Taizan's voice could not get out.

"You are...that ghost?!"

After calming down, Himuro Taizan looked at Gengo and seemed to detect something familiar. He said in a surprised tone:

"I never expected your true form to be so young."

"So you still remember me, wait... I see..."

Looking at Himuro Taizan's surprised expression, Genji suddenly had a flash of inspiration and nodded to himself in realization. If there was any difference between Kiryu Sento and the others and that snake-skinned monster, it would be that they had been possessed by him before, their bodies occupied by his own body that still contained remnants of godhood. It was probably because of this that they avoided being held accountable.

Thinking about this, Yuanxiang felt it made more and more sense, but then he smiled bitterly to himself. After all, such a miracle could not be replicated a second time. In other words, if a situation requiring a price to be paid occurred again, he would have to be prepared to get to know them all over again.

"Prime Minister Himuro, I won't beat around the bush with you. Here's the thing, have you ever heard of Faust?"

Gengo cleared his throat, pulling himself back to reality, and told Himuro Taizan everything he had heard from Kiryu Sento. There was no need to hide anything, since it was time for the old man to get some work done.

"Katsura Takumi... I never expected that child would do something like this."

Himuro Taizan certainly knew about that genius scientist, but adhering to the principle that laymen shouldn't instruct experts, he didn't pry too much into the scientist's affairs. He only needed his subordinates to report on his recent situation, research results, and what resources he needed regularly. What he didn't expect was that Katsuragi Takumi would die so suddenly.

"I should call Huande over and ask him about this."

Himuro Taizan pondered for a moment, then picked up the phone without saying much. Gengo understood his meaning. As his only son, Himuro Taizan naturally hoped that Himuro Gentoku would take over his position. In order to cultivate him, it was only natural to delegate some tasks to Himuro Gentoku. Himuro Taizan was not afraid of Himuro Gentoku making mistakes. If there were any mistakes, the father could bear them now, as long as he didn't make any mistakes when he took over the position.

It's clear that Katsuragi Takumi's matter was handed over to Himuro Gentoku.

"Father, you wanted to see me."

Soon, Himuro Gentoku appeared in the office. Looking at his son's simple and honest appearance, Himuro Taizan felt a little tired. How to put it? During this period, his son's attitude towards his father had been somewhat subtle. First, he clearly disagreed with his policies, then suddenly he wholeheartedly agreed with all of his decisions. After that, his attitude became subtle, like a resentful woman, no, a child who had been neglected by his family, always looking at him with those resentful eyes.

To be honest, Himuro Taizan really can't figure out what his son is thinking right now. Money? He doesn't need money from him anymore. Power? That's even more impossible. Himuro's position is already his own, and he knows very well that this is not the time to accept the prime ministership. So what does he want?

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll just focus on dealing with the immediate issues first.

Himuro Taizan sighed inwardly, then looked at Himuro Gentoku and said:

"Gentoku, you're in charge of Katsuragi Takumi's affairs, aren't you?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Himuro Gentoku looked at Himuro Taizan with some confusion, and at the same time, he was also puzzled by Gengo standing to the side. He did not remember that there was such a young leader among the members of the team in Touto.

"Don't worry about him. Just consider him one of my trusted confidants. I'll introduce him to you when I have time."

Himuro Taizan silently waved his hand, changing the subject. Gengo thought for a moment, feeling Himuro Gentoku's still puzzled look, and felt it was necessary to help fool this honest bearded man. So he quietly enhanced the Joker's power, picked up the iron object next to him, easily rolled it into a ball, and then shaped it into a small bird sculpture, which he placed on Himuro Taizan's desk.

In that instant, Gengo saw Himuro Gentoku's eyes suddenly light up. I don't know what he was imagining, but he looked at Gengo seriously with a look of sudden realization. That look... how should I put it? It's like, "Am I one of our own now?"

Gengo couldn't understand it, and Himuro Taizan was also puzzled by his son's behavior. After all, the boy's actions seemed like a show of defiance. Could it be that his son had masochistic tendencies?

"Excuse me for asking."

Himuro Gentoku hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but whisper:

"Was it here last time that you helped my father get Cai He Liangxiang?"

"Yes."

Gengo answered instinctively, and then the two of them saw Himuro Gentoku's eyes brighten even more. They had no doubt that Himuro Gentoku had already regarded Gengo as a teammate.

"Thank you for your help. Otherwise, that bastard Caihe Liangxiang would have hurt my father."

"It's nothing, it was just something I did on a whim."

Seeing Himuro Gentoku suddenly become quite polite, even showing some deference to his superiors, Gengo quickly waved his hand, then looked at Himuro Taizan with a puzzled expression, asking what was going on with his son. Himuro Taizan was completely unable to keep up with his son's train of thought, and could only silently pretend that he hadn't seen anything.

Himuro Gentoku's thoughts were quite simple. He had previously suspected that his father possessed a hidden power, but for some reason, it had never been revealed. He had harbored some resentment about this, since they were family, and the fact that his father had kept it from him without letting a word out of him was truly displeasing.

But that displeasure only lasted until now. Now, his father has revealed just the tip of the iceberg of this power to him. Although he doesn't know what role this young man plays in that mysterious organization, as long as he makes contact with him, it means that this organization, which has been hiding behind the scenes, will be handed over to him along with the position of prime minister. What does this mean? It means that his father still approves of him. Sure enough, he is the successor whom his father has always cherished.

"Huan De, let's get down to business."

"Yes, Father."

"Forehead......"

Seeing the fanatical look in his son's eyes, Himuro Taizan suddenly wanted to take a break and sort out what was going on. However, he had raised his son for so many years, and if a father cared about everything, he would probably be mentally exhausted and have a terrible stomachache. So Himuro Taizan ignored this and looked at Himuro Gentoku, saying:

"Since you were in charge of Katsuragi Takumi's affairs from beginning to end, then tell me, how much do you actually know about what happened in Faust?"

! ! ! ! !

Upon hearing this, Himuro Taizan and Gengo saw Himuro Gentoku's expression freeze instantly, revealing a guilty look. Gengo's lips twitched, and he silently looked at Himuro Taizan. "What were you thinking, letting such an honest guy into politics? Are you afraid he'll get killed, or do you think the people of Touto can handle his antics?"

This is all due to the influence of Pandora's Box, that's right, it's all due to the influence of the light from Pandora's Box!

Himuro Taizan finally found a reason and quite forcefully retorted to Gensou, but on the other side, Himuro Gentoku was struggling with anxiety. No matter what, what happened in Faust would definitely become a stain on his political record. If his father... no, since his father was asking here, he might already know!

Himuro Gentoku was startled. He subconsciously looked up and glanced forward. He saw his father exchanging glances with the boy, his expression a mixture of helplessness and headache, seemingly expressing disappointment at his father's hesitation.

Yes, what am I still hesitating about? My father is wholeheartedly nurturing me, and he has even shown me his last trump card. If I make a mistake, I should correct it and admit it. Only in this way can I become a qualified successor!

Thinking this through, Himuro Gentoku felt a sudden, profound realization. He then straightened up and, with a very formal expression, said:

"Yes, Faust was founded by me and Katsuragi Takumi, and even after that devil scientist died, I continued to keep the organization running."

In response, Himuro Taizan said—

No, what are you so proud of?!

464 should go and pay their respects.

My blood pressure went up.

Himuro Taizan felt his eyelids twitching involuntarily. To be honest, if this were at home, Gentoku's behavior would be one thing, but now it was in front of this mysterious boy. Who knew what this person's attitude was? Although he didn't know what had happened on Faust's side, the so-called possible human experimentation with nebula gas was enough to ruin his foolish son's political career. If this person was also a guy with a strong sense of justice, then he might as well start preparing for his son's funeral.

"Come on, Huande, tell me everything you did there, down to the last detail."

Now that things had come to this, there was no other way to change the subject. Himuro Taizan could only sit in his chair, looking at his son, and silently wait for what would happen next. Himuro Gentoku was also honest. Although he felt that he was doing something wrong and that what he had done was cruel and against human nature, in his mind, everyone here was one of his own. Therefore, he honestly told him everything.

"Father, I know I shouldn't have done that!"

After speaking, seeing the grim expressions on the faces of Himuro Taizan and Gengo, Himuro Gentoku hurriedly spoke up to explain. He stood up abruptly, pressed one hand to his chest, and said in an agitated tone:

"War is inevitable, Father. Even if you don't intend to expand the army, we should at least have a deterrent force in high-end military equipment. Father, you have seen it yourself. The power of Pandora's Box has changed the entire country, forcibly dividing this place into three parts. Although we cannot obtain the power of Pandora's Box yet, at least we can use the power of Nebula Gas. Indeed, human experimentation is extremely cruel, but these are necessary sacrifices, sacrifices for the greater good!"

"shut up!!"

Himuro Taizan stared at his son with a grim expression, raised his finger, pointed it at him tremblingly, and said in a deep voice:

"What do you know? You spout righteousness all the time, what right do you have to decide life and death for others? Get out of here! There's no Dongdu with an official like you who treats human life like dirt! Get out! Get out of Dongdu!"

Himuro Gentoku paused, bit his lip in resentment, and turned to leave. But at that moment, he suddenly felt a terrifying killing intent behind him. He turned around in horror and saw his father holding the boy's hand. However, from his current angle, he couldn't see Himuro Taizan's expression. The old man's face was full of pleading. If Gentoku hadn't stopped, he would have knelt down in front of the boy, willing to exchange his life for his son's future.

"Get out! Didn't you hear me?!"

Seeing that Gensou's murderous aura had stopped growing, Himuro Taizan immediately shouted and drove his son away. Himuro Gentoku, completely unaware that he had just walked a life-or-death line, only glanced at this not-so-obedient 'trump card member' before leaving without looking back.

"I'll make him pay."

After seeing Himuro Gentoku leave, Himuro Taizan immediately grabbed Gengo's arm and pleaded desperately:

"I will make that child pay for his mistakes. I will give him a chance, a chance to try and atone for his crimes. I will make him give an explanation to the dead. Please, I'm willing to die in his place, I'm willing to die in his place..."

"..."

Gengo remained silent, simply tossing Himuro Taizan aside. He was now waiting for specific information about Faust. At least based on the information gathered by Kiryu Sento, those known to have been used in the Nebula Gas human experiments were all criminals. If they were all death row inmates, then that was fine; death row inmates were all worthless, and their deaths were no big deal. However, if there was an innocent person among them, it wouldn't be easy to kill him in front of Himuro Taizan. As long as he didn't see it, Gengo believed he had plenty of opportunities to make Himuro Gentoku pay the price.

It has to be said that people who are about to die are often more open-minded and ruthless. After knowing his death date, Gengo also realized that he was a bit extreme in his way of doing things, but he didn't care. This state was just right. If a few weirdos appeared in Fuuto, he could use them to establish his authority again.

"I want the nebular gas from Faust."

Gengo didn't dwell on Himuro Gentoku's issue for too long, and immediately changed the subject, putting his most urgent needs on the agenda. Himuro Taizan naturally had no choice but to agree. After the conversation ended, he would immediately send people to collect all the materials and supplies in the Faust organization and handle them properly.

"I want to go too."
