Wei Yanwu took a puff of his cigarette and continued:

"After a while, I'll find a death row inmate to fill in, but if Longmen ever faces trouble in the future, you'll have to lend a hand."

"It depends. If you don't do anything immoral, I'll help you."

Hearing this, Wei Yanwu didn't pay much attention. He glanced at the knight beside him and said:

"Also, I heard that you and Huijie have a good relationship. I am her uncle, so you two should not see each other again in the future."

"No, I promised her that if I didn't die, I would spar with her a few times. It's an agreement and a commission."

Wei Yanwu raised an eyebrow, a sharp sword intent and killing intent flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and continued:

"Three times, no more than that, and you are not allowed to let anyone see that you have any contact with Huijie."

"Okay, no problem."

"...Thank you again today. Without you, Longmen would still be in chaos," Wei Yanwu sighed, took out a small bottle of wine, and handed it to Yuanxiang, saying, "This is something I secretly hid. Here you go as a thank you gift."

I don't drink alcohol.

Yuanxiang took it, saying as he weighed it in his hand, before stuffing it back into Wei Yanwu's hand:

"I've made your reservation. My time's up, I'm leaving."

After saying that, Yuanxiang turned and walked through the door, disappearing from sight. At that moment, a dark figure appeared beside Wei Yanwu, but before he could speak, Wei Yanwu, touching the wine bottle, said:

"Whether he is responsible or not is not important now. Go ahead and proceed with the plan."

On the other side, Gensou deactivated his transformation, slumped onto the sofa, and looked up at the ceiling. The cries of the Lungmen citizens echoed in his ears again, but at least they were still alive.

Yuanxiang still remembers the scene from the night before last. In front of the giant, those innocent people watched in despair as they were completely disintegrated. They would never see the sunrise of the next day. Their future came to an abrupt end. They were not just one person, two people, or three people, but countless people, people who could easily fill all the cemeteries in Fengdu!

Yuanxiang looked out the window with a blank expression. Outside was the sleeping city of Fengdu, everything was so peaceful and serene. But not long ago, he had witnessed a city that was no less magnificent than Fengdu being reduced to ruins.

Ruins, wails, corpses, chaos...

Gensho had imagined countless times what Fuuto would be like after his defeat, and those terrifying imaginings are still the pillar that keeps him fighting.

This time, those scenes came true in Longmen. He walked through it himself and experienced firsthand that reality was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

Standing in that weeping city, Yuanxiang felt chills seeping from his pores, as if cold corpses were pressing down on him. They didn't speak, only pairs of empty, lifeless eyes staring at him, staring intently.

Calm down, calm down. Thinking about this now is useless. We need to think carefully about how to prevent this from happening again.

Yuanxiang suppressed his emotions with reason. He rubbed his face vigorously, and the sharp pain in his hand jolted him awake. Then, he pinched the bridge of his nose and began to think of a solution.

But soon, he sighed helplessly. He knew where he went wrong, but he could only do his best to be thorough and not perfect. This was not a matter of whether his cultivation was up to par or not, but rather a limitation of his own abilities. Moreover, reality is often illogical, and the reason why an accident is an accident is precisely because it cannot be predicted.

Therefore, the question becomes how to prevent the tragedy of Longmen from repeating itself when faced with unexpected events.

"Bang!!!"

"Manager! Manager!"

Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Chen Huijie, still bandaged, stormed in angrily. Upon seeing Yuanxiang, she grabbed his wrist and tried to drag him towards Longmen.

"That's some serious *Longmen swearing*! They really only bully honest people, and they actually say you're the culprit. They've completely lost all face! Without you, Manager, Longmen wouldn't exist anymore! Come on! Manager, I'll get you justice... Manager, why are you looking at me?"

When Chen noticed Yuanxiang staring intently at him, his momentum suddenly weakened, and he subconsciously looked at himself to see if he had embarrassed himself again.

"Chen, you're right."

Yuanxiang then spoke slowly, and Chen, hearing this, was delighted and raised his voice:

"Of course, we've been framed, so we have to..."

"Strength is the key."

"Ok?"

Suddenly realizing that the two of them weren't thinking on the same wavelength, Chen Huijie looked at Yuanxiang in surprise, poked his forehead with exasperation, and scolded him:

"Manager!! I'm talking about serious matters! This concerns your reputation! You were the one who saved Lungmen!"

At this moment, Yuanxiang yawned for no apparent reason. After Chen Huijie repeated herself, he listlessly looked up at her and told her all his thoughts and his conversation with Wei Yanwu, making her understand that everything had been settled and there was no need to argue about it.

"But...but..."

Although it was strange that Yuanxiang's tone was so harsh, Chen Huijie clearly couldn't accept this explanation. Although Yuanxiang kept saying that the disaster was his fault, it didn't make sense no matter how you looked at it. According to him, when she opened the door, he was still fighting the enemy. Even if someone had to blame someone, it shouldn't be him.

But when she heard Yuanxiang take the blame for opening the door at that time, Chen Huijie immediately realized that something was wrong with Yuanxiang.

This behavior, which seems to attribute all sins to oneself in order to prove the purity of those around them, is undoubtedly self-destructive. Chen Huijie doesn't know what kind of experiences Yuanxiang went through to form such a twisted obsession, but at least she has discovered it. Since that's the case, then she should correct his extreme thinking... Hmm?!

Just as Chen Huijie was about to say something to Yuanxiang, she suddenly saw Yuanxiang flicker in front of her, as if he was about to disappear. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, but found that it was not her imagination.

Under these circumstances, Chen Huijie looked at Yuanxiang, who was listing his sins, and saw his cold expression. She recalled Yuanxiang's strange behavior just now. It was from that moment that he kept repeating phrases like "It's all my fault," like a broken record.

But... what exactly is going on here? Can anyone tell me how to handle this?!

At that moment, outside the agency, a hazy aurora-like curtain quietly appeared. The crimson knight, listening to the commotion inside, sighed helplessly.

"Was I right...?"

087 The Arrival of Tsukasa Kadoya

Gensou is a data entity without a core, so he is destined to have no self-healing ability. Whether it is daily activities, transformation battles, or the loss of data from wounds, all of these will cause the data entity to weaken. In addition, Gensou's mental state has changed inexplicably. All these factors combined have led to the fact that even though there are still ten hours left until the deadline, Gensou's data entity has already begun to show signs of collapse.

Chen Huijie didn't know his physical condition, but from the increasingly frequent flashing, her intuition sensed something ominous. She nervously asked Yuanxiang what was going on, but Yuanxiang remained unresponsive, like a broken record. Frustrated, Chen Huijie tugged at her horns and paced around in circles.

"As expected, you really did have a problem."

Just then, a helpless voice came from behind Chen Huijie. She subconsciously gripped her weapon and turned around to see a man in a casual suit with a camera hanging around his neck, sighing as he looked at Yuanxiang sitting on the sofa.

"Don't be nervous, my name is Tsukasa Kadoya, and I'm this idiot's friend. Seriously, getting yourself into this state is quite something."

Tsukasa Kadoya walked up to Gengo, took out a small chip from his pocket, and slapped it directly onto Gengo's forehead. The chip made a soft sound and then melted into Gengo's body. Immediately afterwards, Gengo's flashing frequency began to decrease, and streams of electricity burst from his eyes and flowed throughout his body, looking extremely frightening.

"What did you do to the store manager!?"

Chen Huijie didn't sense any malice from Kadoya Tsukasa, but seeing Gengo's expression, she still nervously pressed him for answers. Kadoya Tsukasa shrugged, then flicked Gengo's forehead, saying helplessly:

"This idiot crashed, I'll fix him."

"Downtime? What does that mean?"

Chen Huijie was completely confused by these words. Kadoya Tsukasa, not one to back down, poked Genji's head impatiently as he explained:

"This idiot is now a data entity. All his actions and thought processes are simulated by a program to simulate the human body. Generally speaking, this template will not have any problems. However, this guy's will is too stubborn, so the program forcibly changed the calculation method according to his will, which indirectly caused the data to become chaotic and affected his way of thinking. The chaos in his thinking caused his will to become distorted and affect his actions. Therefore... a perfect crash loop has appeared. In such a crash situation, even if this guy's original intention is good, the way he expresses himself may be unacceptable to people."

Kadoya Tsukasa glanced at the dizzy Chen Huijie, sighed, and said:

"Just think of him as someone who's stuck in a rut and can't get out. I believe you probably feel the same way."

Chen Huijie thought about it for a moment, then nodded in strong agreement. Genji's performance in Lungmen was truly indescribable, but compared to that, Chen Huijie was more concerned about why Tsukasa Kadoya could point out the problem so incisively, as if he had been there all along.

"Don't look at me like that. If I'm with him during this time, and he tries to go out before he recovers his physical body, I'll break his legs."

"Going out? What legs? Barbecue?"

At this moment, the electric current in Gengo's body began to stabilize, and his eyes returned to their original clear and bright state. However, his brain circuits seemed to be still not connected, and his words were incoherent. Kadoya Tsukasa, annoyed, gave him another flick on the forehead.

"Tsukasa Kadoya? What brings you here?"

After the flick on the forehead, Genji's consciousness cleared considerably. He looked at his friend standing beside him with delight, and got up to get some food to offer him, but Tsukasa Kadoya pressed him down and said:

“When I was traveling, I ran into Takeshi Hongo and his Showa-era knights. They were worried that something might have happened to you because they detected that your data relay station was still operating at low power. Since I knew you, they asked me to come and see what was going on.”

Upon hearing this, Gensho coughed awkwardly, his gaze darting around as he gestured with his fingers in an attempt to explain:

"Well, actually I've been back for a while, but a small problem caused this..."

"Is it because you used the data stored at the transfer station to save your teacher?"

Looking at the incredulous Gengo, Tsukasa Kadoya said slowly:

"As expected of Kamen Rider V3, he actually guessed correctly. So, has your teacher been resurrected?"

"Yes, although he is still unconscious, at least his life is no longer in danger."

"Don't worry about that. V3 has asked the scientists for you. It's just overwork caused by multiple data conversions. Let your teacher get some rest."

Tsukasa Kadoya flipped his hand and produced two peaches from who-knows-where. After handing them to Genji, he continued, "..."

"Hongo Takeshi was worried that you were reluctant to change back because you were attached to the convenience of the data body. He wanted me to persuade you. Now it seems that you don't think the data body is a good thing anymore."

Yuanxiang, munching on a peach, nodded silently. Now that his mind was clear, he reflected on his actions in Lungmen and realized that everything he did was problematic, especially after drawing all the hatred in the shelter and then shouting that he couldn't die. No matter how you looked at it, no human being could do that.

Gensou originally had the idea of ​​completely transforming into a data entity, but now... forget it, if this thing were made, Fuuto would probably be full of Knight Black.

Seeing that Genji had agreed, Tsukasa Kadoya breathed a sigh of relief. If this guy was still stubborn, he would have no choice but to force him. But the worst thing was that he didn't think he could beat this 'Joker'.

"By the way, there's something I'm curious about."

Relaxed, Tsukasa Kadoya asked Gengo curiously:

"Have you suffered any serious injuries during this time? Generally speaking, even if your will is outrageous, it's unlikely that you can touch the deep programs of the data body."

"Hmm... does it count if it's been fried once?"

Yuanxiang hesitated for a moment, gestured with his hands, and tentatively whispered:

"The kind that's all blown up."

"........."

Upon hearing this, Tsukasa Kadoya, who was leaning against the cabinet, staggered. He then silently pulled a stack of data storage devices from his pocket, pressed Genji's shoulder, and said:

"Say nothing more, just change back right now."

"No, now is not the time."

Gengo smiled and grasped Tsukasa Kadoya's wrist, saying softly:

"Although this trip to Lungmen was a complete disaster, there is one thing I think I was right about: I do need power, more power. So, I have an idea that I want to try."

After saying that, Gengo took out the 'Skull' memory, waved it in front of Tsukasa Kadoya, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, with Grandpa's memories, even if the experiment fails, I'll have time to save myself."

Tsukasa Kadoya also has the Kamen Rider 'Skull' card, so the relevant data immediately came to mind. In addition to enhancing the user's fighting ability, this memory can also temporarily turn the user into a 'corpse', granting them immortality and immunity to mental attacks. Therefore, Gengo's statement is correct.

"But your current condition is terrible, and you could disappear at any moment. Do you really want to conduct the experiment at this time?"

Seeing Gengo stand up and walk towards the basement, Tsukasa Kadoya couldn't help but ask again. Gengo stopped, turned to look at Tsukasa, and smiled gently.
