Wait, am I overlooking something?

Forget it, whatever, Xiaoyuan Township is waiting for my reply!

"Ahem, Gensou, actually, getting in and out of the Earth Library isn't complicated."

Philip smiled and looked at Gensou, saying:

"Don't resist it. Treat it like your instinct to eat and drink. Naturally, you will enter into it and calmly use keywords to find the information you need."

Is that so?

Yuanxiang blinked in surprise. So, the reason he was really suffering was because he had been using the wrong method all along?!

Thinking of this, Yuanxiang released Philip's hand and immediately followed suit, closing his eyes and trying to treat it as an instinct, wanting to enter the Earth Library.

But the moment he began to try, a howling gust of wind swept in, blowing everyone and everything around him away. Hino Eiji hurriedly grabbed Ankh with one hand and Hiroi Shinzo with the other. Tenkuji Takeru was blown through the wall and disappeared into who knows where. Terui Ryu, caught off guard, was also blown away and vanished without a trace.

Philip was caught by the loyal "Fang," which gave Shotaro a chance to catch him. Only then did Philip realize what he had overlooked.

How did Yuanxiang, this human, manage to enter and exit the Earth Library?

122 The Truth About Amnesia

Philip was able to enter the Earth Library because he fell into the Gaia Well and died when he was a child. Although he was resurrected by chance, he was just a piece of data. Philip's sister, Wakana Sonozaki, was able to enter the Earth Library because she seemed to have fused with the power of 'Xtreme', making herself a being similar to Philip.

But Gensou's situation is different. During their recent contact, Philip clearly felt that he was still a flesh-and-blood body, but now, he has actually entered the Earth Library in this state. It's unbelievable. Gensou's situation may be far beyond what he expected.

While everyone was panicking because of the strong wind, Gensou, who had begun to try to contact the Earth Library, felt a completely different sensation.

Although the pressure and impact he felt as he walked toward the 'door' did not diminish, how should I put it... he felt a warmth like that of someone huddled in a kotatsu in winter, and he didn't know if it was just his imagination, but it was as if a wind was pushing him from behind, making it easier for him to walk toward the 'door'.

However, it doesn't seem to have much to do with the tips that Philip mentioned.

Gensou stood at the door with a subtle expression, unsure of what to say. If he wasn't mistaken, the reason he felt this way was because of this world. After all, this was the world of Fuuto, which was also his and 'Fuu's' home ground, hence the situation.

Forget it, this kind of thing is irrelevant. Since we're already here, we might as well investigate and see what's going on with this nameless island!

Yuanxiang took a step forward and stood in the middle of the 'door', feeling the data washing over his soul as if from the outside in. Then, he followed the keywords from the data around him to find the information he needed.

As the data flowed in, a figure once again transformed into a book. Yuanxiang reached out and took the 'book,' slowly turning the pages, intending to read it carefully as usual. However, this time, an unexpected scene unfolded.

The moment Yuanxiang lifted the cover, the book in his hand instantly transformed into a sky full of stars. Green data streams emanated from between the stars and connected with each other. A huge, nearly circular polyhedron enveloped Yuanxiang. Then, like a flipped-over card, each facet of the polyhedron, carrying its own color and data, pieced together a picture in the blink of an eye. Yuanxiang looked at the white clouds drifting around him, reached out in astonishment to touch them, and truly felt the coolness of the water mist.

Wait, I'm in the sky right now, so what's below...?!

Yuanxiang realized something and hurriedly looked down. Sure enough, an island came into view. Although it was far away, if Yuanxiang wanted to, he could see even the queen ant hiding underground.

No, it's not so much about seeing; to be more precise, this 'memory' from the nameless island has been stored in my soul, and whenever I want to look up something, the corresponding information will appear before my eyes.

Meanwhile, on this invisible island, employees dressed in the uniforms of the X Foundation were busy at work, seemingly carrying out the plan mentioned by Shotaro-senpai. But suddenly, Gengo saw that strange light screen appear in the middle of the research institute, and a phantom shrouded in golden light walked out from it, dragging a device that resembled a crystal but was dozens of times larger. He raised his hand, and the device emitted endless light, causing the entire island to disappear without a trace.

Good, now you know what to look for after sneaking in.

These were the only 'memories' found by searching for the keywords, but based on this, Gengo made many relatively reasonable deductions. Although continuing the search would yield more detailed information, Gengo worried that he would forget the existence of Takamachi Nanoha and the others.

At the same time, although the 'memories' he obtained this time were quite detailed, Gensou also felt an unusual sense of fatigue. This fatigue was very peculiar, like being tired from eating. The feeling of being quite full was mixed with a strong sense of drowsiness. Gensou suddenly had a bad feeling that if he continued to look into the information, it might cause unmanageable consequences. So Gensou withdrew from the 'door' without hesitation and returned to reality.

Ok? !

Opening his eyes, Gensou looked at the utterly chaotic surroundings and let out a puzzled nasal sound. But feeling the 'whirlwind' still wrapped around his fingertips, he immediately understood the situation, coughed sheepishly, and looked at everyone, saying:

"Excuse me, there wasn't that much noise before... Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Feeling the strange gazes from everyone, Gengo raised an eyebrow and looked himself over. 'Fang' was lying safely in his coat, and Shotaro-senpai's 'Joker' wasn't in his hands either. So why did they feel this way? They felt that if he tried to run away, they would team up to catch him.

“Yuanxiang, perhaps you really should listen to Mr. Philip.”

Hino Eiji looked at Gengo with concern and said softly:

"Your body did seem a bit off just now."

Something was not just wrong. Just as Yuanxiang was looking up information, a green gale enveloped him and lifted him up, making him look as if he were nailed to a cross.

At the same time, dense mechanical patterns appeared all over Gengo's body, and the surrounding 'gazing wind' changed into a data stream-like form, continuously following the mechanical patterns and entering Gengo's body. In an instant, parts of Gengo became as transparent as crystal, but immediately the 'Joker' in his arms lit up, and green and purple lights flashed alternately in the mechanical patterns, as if a fierce tug-of-war was starting on Gengo's body as the battlefield. At that time, Gengo looked like a monster, but fortunately, as Gengo woke up, his body immediately returned to normal.

“Gengo, it’s alright, it’s just a check-up,” Tenkuji Takeru emerged from the ground, struggling to pull himself out as he hurriedly reassured Gengo, “It shouldn’t take much time, let’s all rest together.”

“Yuanxiang…”

"I understand, I understand."

Seeing that the others were still trying to persuade him, Yuanxiang pressed his hand down and said softly:

“I understand your good intentions, but I just found out some unexpected information from the Earth Library. If we don’t deal with it quickly, it will be difficult for just a few of us to stop it. So let’s take action first. I promise you, as long as the situation is not so critical, I will obediently accept Senior Philip’s inspection.”

Yuanxiang was very self-aware. Although he didn't know the specifics, he was certain that when he couldn't feel tired and even lost his appetite, there was already a problem with him, most likely related to his memory.

Philip is an expert in memory technology, and once he examines them, these problems will definitely come out, and I'll have to spend a lot of time persuading and appeasing them.

Honestly, please spare me. Please spare me this kind of verbal battle. It's just a minor ailment, so let's leave it aside for now. After all, no matter how many things come together, we still need to prioritize and handle them accordingly.

Compared to this world, I am utterly insignificant. What is there to consider in such a simplistic comparison?

Therefore, Gensou exaggerated the situation, attempting to postpone the imminent physical examination. He was well aware of the troublesome and complex nature of this incident. Once he officially began his campaign on the nameless island, it seemed that Senior Philip would not have the time or opportunity to examine him until the campaign was completely over.

Yuanxiang was also very confident that he could maintain his current fighting strength before the operation ended and would not hold everyone back, because he could clearly feel that the weakness that had been bothering him was fading away, and he might be able to recover to his peak condition before the battle began.

This is also why Gensou felt he had to join the fight; after all, right now, on his side... well... no offense intended, but there probably wasn't anyone who could defeat him.

Hearing Gengo's words, the crowd that had gathered around stopped and looked at each other. Gengo's reliability made them instinctively accept his explanation. Tenkuji Takeru even hurriedly crawled out of the ground. No matter how things turned out, he and Gengo still had to go and explore the lost island first.

Although Tenkuji Takeru was filled with trepidation about venturing into the unknown, the thought of working with Gensou gave him a strange sense that the exploration would surely succeed.

"Alright, let's go back to 'Kuskuchi' first."

After what had just happened, it was clearly no longer a suitable place for them to continue their discussion at the hospital. So, before any outsiders gathered, Yuanxiang hurriedly called for everyone to move away, hoping to completely divert their attention from the physical examination.

But just as Genji and the others arrived outside the hospital and gathered their motorcycles to leave, Philip suddenly walked up to Genji. The gentle and refined detective coldly closed the book in his hand, looked at Genji, and said:

“Indeed, to conduct a physical examination, the analyzer needs to be reassembled, and a considerable amount of data analysis is required to obtain an accurate report. In that case, let me share my speculation. Gensou, if I’m not mistaken, your memory has deteriorated significantly, and you may have even lost a lot of memories, right?”

? !

Philip's words gave Gengo a jolt. The amnesia had been bothering him for a long time. He had been investigating it but had no clue. He had been thinking of asking the seniors at Narumi Detective Agency to investigate what was going on with him, but he never expected to hear about it at this time.

Now, Gensou naturally wouldn't admit to it. As he was organizing his thoughts, Philip waved his hand, interrupting Gensou's unspoken denial, and continued:

"You don't need to answer my question. I'm just speculating, so Genji, just listen carefully, Xtreme!"

After saying that, Philip gave a low shout and raised his hand towards the sky. The bird-shaped memory fell from the air and was caught steadily by Philip.

This is the Xtreme Memory, which can transform Kamen Rider W Cyclone Joker into Cyclone Joker Xtreme by guiding Philip and Shotaro's bodies to become one.

Under the influence of this memory, Kamen Rider W "Cyclone Joker Xtreme" form can directly connect with Earth's memories, thereby analyzing all the opponent's information and finding the enemy's weaknesses.

At this moment, Philip, holding the Xtreme Memory, looked at Genji and said:

“Indeed, the power of the ‘Joker’ memory will enhance its own abilities according to the user’s emotional changes. So at the beginning, although I was surprised by your combat power, I didn’t pay too much attention to it. I just thought that you and ‘Joker’ had a very high compatibility. But when you transformed into the ‘Jokero Joker’ form, the situation was not so simple.”

Under everyone's gaze, Philip looked at Genji and continued:

"It's like two glasses of water. Even if you pour them into a bottle, the quantity only increases. Although quantitative change can lead to qualitative change, that level of energy is not enough to cause new changes. Logically speaking, the result of you using two 'Joker' to forcibly transform should only be that the transformation is forcibly terminated by the excess energy. Even if you were a data entity at the time, it should not be an exception!"

Philip loudly overturned his initial conjecture. After all, while memory cells can sometimes be mysterious, they are ultimately creations of Earth. Even if they can trigger miracles, they cannot be achieved solely through willpower. There must be other unknown changes involved.

Therefore, when Philip was trying to create enhancement items for Hidari Shotaro based on Gengo's situation, he discovered that if Hidari Shotaro wanted to transform into the 'Jokero Joker' form on his own, there was one thing that he could not avoid no matter what.

That's Xtreme memory!

“Gengo, I don’t know exactly what you went through, but the characteristics of ‘Xtreme’ did appear in your body, which is why you were able to undergo a qualitative change and transform into the theoretically existing dual ‘Joker’, but!”

Philip held up the Xtreme Memory to Genji and said with a serious expression:

"This memory does not contain any Earth memories. The Cyclone Joker Xtreme form only imported my and Shotaro's memory data into it. So, Genji, you should understand now. You are approaching this memory, losing everything, and becoming a blank!"

123 I know

"Although this is just my speculation, I believe you, Gensho, have your own thoughts on the matter."

Philip released the Xtreme Memory, letting it return to the air, then looked directly at Genji and said softly:

"Judging from your appearance just now, there may be other unknown situations. Your extremely high compatibility with 'Joker' seems to have caused unexpected changes in your body. So my advice to you now is to temporarily stop all transformation actions and let me check carefully to see what's going on."

"No, that won't do. Although I admit I have some health issues, it's not that serious, so don't worry."

Gensho looked at Philip and said softly:

"I don't have the habit of forcing myself. If I'm really not suited to continue fighting, even if you make me transform, I won't go. Alright, let's go. Although that strange light screen has disappeared now, it's better to deal with it quickly."

"Okay, I'll do as you say now."

Philip looked at Gengo's smiling face, and helplessly shrugged. He couldn't win an argument, nor could he win a fight, so he had no choice but to do as Gengo said. Meanwhile, on the motorcycle, Shotaro, sitting in front, drove while asking in a low voice:

"Philip, if Gensou's body is really as you say, what should we do?"

"There is no way to deal with it."

Philip sighed and replied helplessly:

"We can only prevent him from accessing the memory for the time being, and then take it one step at a time. And there's something else that's quite troublesome right now."

Recalling the markings on Genji's body and the purple-green light that flickered within them, Philip, with a headache, rested his head on Shotaro's back and whispered:

"A 'blank' body means that he could use data from any kind of memory. But as you saw, Shotaro, the data from 'Cyclone' and 'Joker' were not imported into his body through the Lost Driver. I believe you should be very clear about what that means."

"......Um."

Shotaro nodded silently. The Gaia Memory contains potent toxins. If used directly, the toxins will accumulate in the body. Although, according to Philip, these toxins may be cleared from Gengo's body, they are still not good. Shotaro was really worried that Gengo would lose control before the toxins were expelled.

"In any case, let's get this matter dealt with as soon as possible."

Philip, weary, looked at Yuanxiang's retreating figure ahead and said:

“If we don’t resolve this, Yuanxiang won’t obediently accept the inspection… This stubborn child is a headache not only for the enemy, but also for our own people.”

"Next time I see Tsukasa Kadoya, I'll make sure he takes us to Gengo's place. Okay, let's leave this topic here for now. Philip, you should contact Akiko and have her prepare the tools. Gengo and the others will probably need them."

"okay."

Originally, Gensou and the others planned to return to the restaurant and then discuss the next steps, since it wasn't far. However, they encountered another rain of coins on the way. After quickly clearing them away and seeing that there were no living people in the area, they simply found a stall and watched Gensou quickly draw the general terrain of the nameless island and the route map of the Foundation X Development Center. Philip even wondered if he had entered a fake Earth Library.

"Zun and I will go inside and take a look first."

Yuanxiang pointed to the core area of ​​the development center and looked at everyone, saying:
