I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

However, Ankh never expected that the phantom did indeed want to cooperate with him, but the object of cooperation was his own body. After being injected with one of his own Core Medals, the abandoned body was reborn and gained its own will.

The phantom lured him there only to complete a deal between itself and its own body, allowing the body to absorb him in order to approach becoming the complete form. He desperately fled, abandoning the two Core Medals he had obtained, barely managing to shake off the body's pursuit.

“Ankh, why didn’t you discuss this with me?”

At this moment, Hino Eiji, slumped unhappily on the table, and said to Ankh, "..."

"Tell me, so I'll at least have a general idea."

"Hmph, why should I discuss it with you? You'll definitely make up all sorts of excuses to keep me from going. I know you too well!"

“But…Ankh, this is really dangerous. Even if we have to go, it should be me…”

"Stop nagging! What do you know!"

Ankh interrupted Hino Eiji impatiently, saying in a hurry:

"The Core Medals are my lifeblood. If you keep dawdling like this, when will I ever reach my full form? Besides, you probably don't want me to collect all the Core Medals, do you? You... that's enough, I don't want to talk to you anymore. You bunch of kids can do whatever you want!"

After saying that, Ankh flew away angrily. If I'm not mistaken, he probably went to possess that policeman again.

“I’m sorry, Ankh is probably a bit agitated because of that body,” Hino Eiji said calmly to everyone. “I’ll call him over again after he finishes his ice cream and continue questioning him about the shadowy figure.”

"Eiji, aren't you angry? He yelled at you like that."

Hiroi Masazou asked Hino Eiji, somewhat bewildered. He had meant well, yet Hino had scolded him like that. Just putting himself in Hino's shoes made Hiroi Masazou feel his anger rising.

"Why would I be angry? Well, how should I put it..."

Hino Eiji reached into his pocket and touched the coins inside. One of them, a red one, was the Ankh Core Coin. Feeling the coolness between his fingers, he smiled and shook his head, saying softly:

"We've known each other for so long, we're used to it. Ankh is actually a very nice person, he's just a little awkward."

"Eiji, don't think I can't hear you talking bad about me!!!"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong."

"Humph!!"

Seeing Hino Eiji answer fluently without changing his expression, Hiroi Masazou was speechless. Humans' tolerance for their companions was truly beyond his imagination. Hmm... another point of knowledge. I'll write it down so I can refer to it and study it later.

"It seems that the mastermind behind this is indeed unable to directly extend their reach to us."

Yuanxiang dipped his finger in water and tapped the table as he spoke:

“However, I feel that this may only be temporary. After all, you see, at the beginning, they could only create subordinates by raining coins, but when we were in the restaurant, they could directly teleport their subordinates over. It seems that it is only a matter of time before they send their main force over as well. Therefore, I think that the phantom that approached Mr. Ankh may have other motives. Perhaps Mr. Ankh’s body is also part of a scheme.”

"Kid, you've got a quick mind."

At that moment, Ankh, who had possessed him, walked over with an ice cream, sat directly on the table, and looked at Gensou, saying:

"That's right, that phantom definitely has some kind of conspiracy hidden inside."

"Then let's go to the place you agreed on now."

Yuanxiang wiped his fingers and the table clean with a tissue as he spoke:

“Maybe we can find some clues. And Mr. Ankh, if I remember correctly, besides you, there are four other Greeks, right?”

"You mean that the phantom's real target is all of us Greeed? Wait, that doesn't seem impossible."

Ankh licked his ice cream and fell into deep thought. As a Greeed, his main goal was naturally to collect his own Core Medals. However, because of his cooperation with Kamen Rider OOO, the other four Greeed considered him an enemy. The logic behind this was easy to understand, since Kamen Rider OOO's transformation item was the Core Medal. Therefore, if given the chance, the other four Greeed would definitely not mind taking all of his medals and making him disappear.

If you think about it this way, your body is indeed an excellent target to attract those four idiots!

Wait a minute, if we think about it this way, I might have to reconsider my escape. I originally thought the phantom was worried that feeding me too much at once would make my body unable to work properly, but if we consider the collection of coin cores as the premise, it's definitely not normal for me to be let go. Could it be that some kind of trap has been set on me?!

Thinking of this, Ankh's heart skipped a beat. He wanted to leave without making a sound, but before he could move, Gensou tapped the table and looked at him softly, saying:

“Mr. Ankh, if that phantom really has left something on you, there’s no point in you leaving alone. You might as well stay and let us see if we can find an opportunity to take advantage of it.”

"...Are you a tapeworm in someone's stomach?"

Ankh, his thoughts exposed, couldn't help but look at Genji and whisper something. Genji smiled and nodded, saying, "..."

"I'm a detective. If I don't think fast, I won't have anything to eat."

"What are you talking about?"

At this moment, Hino Eiji couldn't help but speak up. After a moment of silence, the two of them suddenly started this conversation, which was really puzzling. However, he was still certain that Ankh's current situation was not good.

"If you don't understand, don't ask. Just do as I say."

Ankh irritably pressed his hand against Hino Eiji's face, then, licking his ice cream, looked at Gengo and said:

"So, do you still want to come with me to take a look next?"

"of course."

Yuanxiang stood up and calmly said:

"Sitting here idly won't bring any clues, but..."

Yuanxiang thought for a moment, then sighed and said:

"Let's wait until we meet up with Shotaro before we go there. The mastermind behind this is plotting something big, and I'm really worried that the few of us can't handle it. Also, Philip said that what we're going through might be related to a commission he's handling, and maybe we can get some information from them."

"Well, that's good too. More people means more help."

Tenkuuji Takeru nodded in agreement, but then he looked up at the outside of the hospital and said softly to Gensou:

“Xiang, why don’t we go back to the restaurant and wait? They didn’t show up here, which means they probably didn’t come to the restaurant and didn’t see the message we left behind.”

“No, judging by the time, Shotaro-senpai and the others should have arrived by now,” Gengo glanced at the time, did some mental calculations, and then shook his head. “They probably encountered an accident and were delayed, but I have faith in them. I believe that if we wait a little longer, they will be here.”

Are you so sure?

Ankh looked at Gensou questioningly and said, "Ever since his secret was exposed, Greeed has been trying to get revenge."

"With things so chaotic outside, who knows if they've been directly defeated?"

“Ankh! I'm sorry, Gengo, Ankh, he…”

Hearing Ankh's sharp tongue, Hino Eiji's expression immediately changed, while Gengo calmly waved his hand and said softly:

“That is indeed a possibility, but I have a very subtle connection with ‘Joker’. Although I can’t pinpoint the exact location, I should be able to sense if something happens to Shotaro-senpai’s ‘Joker’. But that’s all, Mr. Ankh.”

Gensou looked at Ankh with a smile and said kindly:

"I'm a petty person."

"…Boring humans."

The familiar sense of oppression made Ankh shift uncomfortably, then he sat down obediently in the chair, quietly licking his new ice cream. At that moment, Hiroi Shinzo looked at Gengo, then at the others, and seeing their calm expressions, couldn't help but ask:

"Aren't you angry anymore?!"

Huh?! X4

Hiroi Masazou's words drew everyone's attention to him. This mechanical mutant, somewhat unable to accept it, looked at them and said:

"Weren't you all furious about those deaths just now? Why are you sitting here so calmly, drinking tea? Listen to this! There are still people crying in this hospital!"

"How could I not be angry! If I could, I'd smash that bastard's face right now!"

Tenkuuji Takeru clenched his fists tightly and said through gritted teeth:

"So many people have died at once, so many precious lives have been lost, how can we possibly put this matter behind us! But, Masakura, the problem is we can't find the enemy's location right now, can we? What's the use of just getting angry if we can't find them?"

"But...but...at the very least, you shouldn't..."

"Makoto, emotions can actually be accumulated."

Gengo looked at Hiroi Masakura and said softly:

"Whether it's sadness or anger, these things ultimately arise from our own desires. We can draw on their power, but we must never be controlled by them. We must learn to control our emotions and distinguish what needs to be addressed immediately, otherwise we will lose even more."

Upon hearing this, Hiroi Masakura instinctively looked at Hino Eiji, who, scratching his head, smiled helplessly and said:

“Yuanxiang is right, but how should I put it, I admit that there are times when I still can’t do that.”

"Me too."

Tenkuuji Takeru interrupted, saying apologetically:

"If Xiang hadn't looked so calm, I wouldn't have been able to stay calm at all."

"Little guy."

At that moment, Ankh suddenly pointed his finger at Hiroi Shinzo and said:

"Although your life or death has nothing to do with me, in order to avoid you becoming a burden, I'll remind you to be careful to control your desires. Listen to what others say and do as they say, but don't think you can do addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division just because you've learned a few things."

"I...I didn't!"

Hiroi Shinzo glared at him unhappily, but then, as if remembering something, his hardened attitude softened immediately. He thought for a moment, then lowered his head and said softly:

“I think I made a mistake, and I should admit it.”

Hearing this, Ankh looked away with a bored expression. Hino Eiji and Tenkuji Takeru patted him on the shoulder with friendly smiles. At this moment, a muffled motorcycle engine sound came. Everyone turned to look and saw three guests who looked travel-worn. When they saw Gensou, their eyes lit up and they rushed in.

Gensou smiled and stood up to greet them, but before he could speak, Shotaro grabbed him and lifted him up, saying happily:

"Yuanxiang, you really came! It's been so long! You don't look well, are you injured?"

"Regarding this matter," Philip appeared from behind, taking Shotaro's place and holding Gengo, and said seriously, "I have an idea, Gengo. Let's find a place where no one else is around and I'll give you a physical examination. I think it's quite necessary!!"

"You two, stop holding up Yuanxiang like that. There are so many people watching. Honestly."

Terui Ryu complained irritably to Philip and Shotaro, but after noticing their strange looks, he realized he had subconsciously taken over Philip's position and continued holding Gengo. Terui Ryu blushed, quickly put Gengo down, looked at him with a complicated expression, and said softly:

"Yuanxiang, are you alright?"

"Don't worry, these weirdos pose no threat to me."

Gengo nodded, reassuring Terui Ryu, then looked at Shotaro and said:

"Put 'Joker' in place, I feel like it's about to fly over."

"I know."

Shotaro, annoyed, forcefully stuffed the memory device into his inner pocket and replied speechlessly:

"Your compatibility with 'Joker' is ridiculously exaggerated."

"Regarding this issue, Gensho, I think it's necessary to continue with what I just said."

At this moment, Philip leaned over again, wanting Gensou to undergo his physical examination. But just then, two sharp shrieks suddenly rang out. To Gensou and Philip's surprise, two pale white figures suddenly intertwined, and sharp blades clashed fiercely in the air. It was the two of them fighting.
