"If this is a ghost, then with my Eye Soul, both Zun and I should be able to get to that place. We will act according to the situation. If possible, we will destroy the mechanism and make the island reappear. At that time, we ask for your support from the outside. Zun and I will draw your attention from inside."
After saying this, Gengo looked at Hino Eiji and Ankh beside him, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"One of the enemy's targets this time is undoubtedly the Core Coin, so please be careful. After you appear, the enemy is very likely to focus fire on you."
"Yes, I'm already mentally prepared for that."
Hino Eiji nodded and said with utmost seriousness:
"If things don't go well, I will..."
"Hey! Eiji, can't you just...?"
“Ankh,” Hino Eiji said seriously, looking at the dissatisfied Ankh, “If you don’t do this, your Core Medal will be taken away. For that reason, run as fast as you can when the time comes!”
"...Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that there aren't many Core Medals available...Hmph."
Ankh muttered a couple of things as if defending Eiji Hino, then fell silent and turned to look at the strange stone statue.
"As for Shinzo, could we temporarily place him at Narumi's office?"
Gengo glanced at Hiroi Masazou, who was standing to the side eagerly awaiting Gengo's assignment of a task, then turned to Shotaro and asked:
"He won't hurt anyone, so let Miss Akiko take care of him for a while."
"Yuanxiang, I'm pretty good at fighting too!"
Upon hearing this, Hiroi Masakō angrily slammed his fist on the table and protested to Genji:
"I just haven't made a move yet, and..."
Hiroi Masakura glanced furtively at the ghost and the greedy man beside him, seemingly gaining confidence, and looked directly at Gengo, saying:
"I'm not human either, I'm a mechanical mutant, you can't treat me like an ordinary human."
“I know, I already knew when we first came to this world, but that’s not a reason for you to join the war. We don’t know what special abilities the enemy has this time. You lack combat experience, so it’s better not to go with us. You’ll just be throwing your life away.”
Gengo calmly gave an explanation, then, ignoring the astonished Hiroi Masazō, looked at Shotaro Hidari and said:
"May I?"
"That's no problem."
After thinking for a moment, Shotaro agreed. Although he didn't know Hiroi Masakura well, Gengo was still trustworthy.
At this moment, Hiroi Shinzo, having recovered his senses, opened his mouth, wanting that he also had special abilities. But then he thought about it again. Before torturing him, Banno Tenjuro had sealed his abilities in advance to prevent him from retaliating. So although he had them, he couldn't use them, and he couldn't unlock them...
I'm so angry!!!
"Let's leave it at that for now. Before things get worse, let's get moving."
While Hiroi Masakura was sulking, Gengo stood up, clapped his hands to everyone, and then several motorcycles roared off into the distance.
124 Oracle (Divine Messenger)
Gengo and his group quickly arrived at Narumi's office, where Akiko Narumi had already completed the preparations Philip had given them. At this moment, the unmarried girl was looking at Gengo, who was further confirming the plan with Shotaro Hidari, with a complicated expression. Although she had imagined what kind of person her child would become, she never thought that he would become a Kamen Rider and stand alone, protecting the entire Fuuto City as a hero.
But......
The word 'hero' represents far more than just superficial glory; the price paid behind it far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people. He'd lost count of how many injuries his two employees and his lover had sustained in the battle against the eccentric monster. And now, that child... was all alone...
"Let's leave it at that for now. Zun and I will go underwater. If we can lie in wait, we will. If we can't, we'll just force our way in and test the enemy's strength."
Just as Akiko Narumi was heartbroken, Gengo and Shotaro Hidari revised some details of their plan. They then called Takeru Tenkuji to prepare to leave, but before leaving the Narumi office, Gengo suddenly remembered something, stopped, looked at Shinzo Hiroi, and asked with a smile:
Is Hiroi Masakura your real name?
"...No, Hiroi Masakura is the object of my mimicry."
Hiroi Masakura looked at Gengo and answered honestly:
“002, my number is 002, and my code name is 'Heart'.”
"Heart? What a nice name."
Gensho stroked his chin, smiled, and nodded, saying:
"I've remembered. Don't be discouraged. Believe that in the future, there will be a time when we fight side by side. Then, let me witness your growth."
"Ah, when the time comes, I'll definitely show you just how strong I really am!!"
Heart raised her hand and clenched her fist tightly. The two, who had met by chance and traveled together, looked at each other and smiled expectantly. After ending their conversation, Gengo and Tenkuji Takeru strode out. But Narumi Akiko couldn't help but call out to Gengo. She didn't know why, but she always felt that if he left, he might leave her forever, just like her father.
But at that moment, Takeru Tenkuji saw a hint of helplessness on Gengo's face. Then, Gengo turned around, looked at Akiko Narumi who was trying to approach him, took a step back, and held up one finger:
"
After saying that, Yuanxiang raised another finger, his expression becoming even more serious, and said, word by word:
"
"No...no..."
Not to mention Narumi Akiko, even others had never seen Gengo with such a sharp demeanor. Seeing Narumi Akiko speechless, Terui Ryu hurriedly stepped forward to explain for his lover, but before he could finish speaking, Gengo's piercing gaze fell on him, and Terui Ryu immediately felt as if he had been pricked by a needle on his face.
"...That's wonderful."
After a brief, piercing stare, Gengo suddenly laughed. The oppressive aura that had been weighing everyone down vanished instantly in his smile, like basking in sunlight. But no one could truly laugh. In this atmosphere, Gengo continued, seemingly unconcerned:
"Then let's try to be friends next time we meet. I'm sure there will be a lot of interesting things to talk about between our two agencies. Alright, we've already wasted quite a bit of time, so let's head out now. Takeshi, snap out of it."
"Huh? Ah, let's go to the countryside."
After realizing what was happening, Tenkuji Takeru hurriedly followed Gensou, but after walking for a while, he hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but say:
"Um... I feel like that Ms. Narumi Akiko doesn't seem to have any ill intentions."
"Of course, she meant no harm. In fact, I was the one who was full of malice just now."
Gengo calmly answered Tenkuji Takeru's question. After finishing, he felt that ending the conversation like this would make Takeru too embarrassed, so he added:
"Me too
This was Gengo's original intention. When discussing the plan, Shotaro had whispered about the awkward atmosphere in Narumi's office. After hearing about what was going on on his side, the two newlyweds who were about to get married began to feel pessimistic about the future.
They worried that their union would bring an unhappy future to their loved one, but neither of them could bear to part with the other when it came to separation. As a result, the Narumi Agency was in such a depressed state that it felt like it was going bankrupt. Even Philip, a shut-in, didn't want to stay in the agency anymore.
These words reminded Gengo of the strange behavior Terui Ryu had exhibited when facing him, which was likely due to this incident.
As the saying goes, "the one who tied the knot must untie it." Since they are troubled by their own problems, I should try to untie this knot in their hearts. I hope that my harsh words just now can make them realize their mistakes. Even if they don't realize their mistakes, they will definitely feel uncomfortable when they try to identify with their parents next time. After feeling uncomfortable for a long time, they will naturally lose the desire to do so, and this knot in their hearts will be untied.
Well, as expected of me. Even though it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, the result was quite good.
Seeing Gengo smugly pointing at himself for no apparent reason, Tenkuji Takeru scratched his head in confusion. To be honest, he didn't understand Gengo's words at all, but... since Gengo was so smug, it should be fine, right? After all, he was the reliable Gengo.
With that in mind, Tenkuji Takeru put the matter aside for the time being and followed Gensou to the seaside.
"Cyclone!"
Gengo activated the green memory and transformed, then gathered green gusts of wind around himself to provide oxygen for his long underwater journey. He then dived into the sea with Tenkuji Takeru and headed towards the location of the nameless island. As Gengo had predicted, he could clearly see the island while possessing the Eye Soul.
Afterwards, Gensou quietly observed the situation on the island. After confirming that there were no new cameras or patrols, he and Tenkuji Takeru landed on the island.
However, they also kept a certain distance between them. Considering that the enemy had once tried to capture him because of the crystal, there might be detection methods for the crystal on this island. So, if the guess is true, then Gengo will be responsible for attracting the enemy's attention so that Tenkuji Takeru can continue to carry out his plan.
“These are all living people in the village.”
The voice of Takeru Tenkuji came through the miniature walkie-talkie resembling an earpiece. This was also a piece of Narumi Agency's cutting-edge technology. It has to be said that in terms of technology, this agency is far ahead of us. Gengo nodded to indicate that he heard it, and then crawled into the ventilation duct and changed direction.
Since Zun didn't detect any ghostly or eye demon auras from these staff members, it means that this island is likely shrouded in something like a barrier, similar to the dark space that appeared when he fought the ancient warriors. If that's the case, then he should head straight to the energy storage facility and see if there's a mechanism there to dispel the barrier.
"This village... what exactly is this...?"
When they arrived at their destination, the scene before them left Tenkuji Takeru speechless with astonishment. This energy reservoir was like a large-scale assembly line factory, but the raw material used to produce it was people!
More accurately, it was the ashes of those people after they had withered away. From the light screen that was constantly flashing with lightning, people kept falling like dumplings into the large pool. Then, in the light that made people age or rejuvenate, they quickly decomposed into ashes. Along the assembly line, they were made into slightly murky coins and then mechanically sent away from here.
"...Calm down. The most urgent thing is to find the key point. Otherwise, more people will be sacrificed. Hurry up, act quickly."
Hearing Gengo squeeze out the words through gritted teeth, Tenkuji Takeru couldn't bear to look and turned his head away. He and Gengo split up and headed towards the control center and the experimental center. Clearly, the energy depot had been modified and lost its original function, so now they needed to determine the changes in these two key areas and search for the mechanical crystal that Gengo had seen.
During this process, Yuanxiang saw the manufactured coins undergo secondary processing in a factory similar to Gaia Memory, transforming them into the black coins he saw.
The raw materials for this reprocessing were undead similar to those who practiced self-discipline. These undead, whose eyes had lost their luster, were like bears trapped in cages having their bile extracted. They would occasionally let out a soft groan, and then continue to silently have strange energy liquid squeezed from their bodies by the machine.
On the other side, Tenkuji Takeru also witnessed an extremely bizarre scene. Inside the control center, employees at each post were rapidly completing various tasks, but each of them had something resembling a tube inserted into their heads. These tubes acted like the strings of a marionette, controlling them.
Suddenly, an employee collapsed. His face turned black rapidly, and the tube was pulled out of his head, bringing with it a cloud of mist containing the employee's face. Then, the tube was inserted into the head of an employee sitting in the rest area. After convulsing and struggling for a while as if having an epileptic seizure, the employee stood up and took over from his deceased predecessor without any awkwardness, continuing to complete the work.
The source controlling everything is a constantly writhing, brain-like eye demon!
That's right, it's the Eye Demon!
Tenkuji Takeru clenched his fist silently. As agreed, after arriving at the control center, he would stay there as long as he wasn't discovered. After Gensou cut off the energy supply, he would keep an eye on whether the defense mechanism here could still function. If it could, he would destroy it to reduce the pressure on Shotaro and the others' attack.
Just as Tenkuji Takeru was suppressing the urge to make a move, Genji arrived at the experimental center. There, he saw the mechanical crystal connected by countless lines. He believed that destroying it would paralyze the place.
But at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside the mechanical crystal. The cloaked figure placed his hand on the mechanical crystal and whispered:
"I knew that the energy leaks and the strange phenomena they caused would attract the attention of the Kamen Riders, but you guys acted faster than expected."
The figure removed its hood, but beneath it lay not a human, but a peculiar creation. Within interconnected glass jars, energy resembling will-o'-the-wisps flowed. A large "X" was imprinted on its chest. This seemingly fragile creation turned its head towards the location of Gensou and spoke in a voice with repeated syllables:
"What? Are you still going to hide there? No matter how well you disguise yourself, your soul fire is still too conspicuous in my eyes. Also, thank you for bringing the divine stone. The way my subordinates invited you here before was a bit too rough. Here, as their master, I express my sincerest apologies to you."
Upon hearing this, Yuanxiang naturally understood that the person was not bluffing him. In that instant, a streak of dark light shot out from the ventilation duct, heading straight for the mechanical crystal. However, the creation's hand pressed on the crystal with a slight force, and the crystal flashed with a faint light. The space in front of and behind it suddenly twisted, and Yuanxiang passed through its location, exposing his back to the enemy.
Gengo reacted extremely quickly, spinning around and throwing a punch. If the enemy had seized the opportunity to attack, that punch would have landed on his cheek. But the creature remained motionless, as if it had crashed and was still in the same position. However, through the will-o'-the-wisp flickering in the glass jar on its head, Gengo sensed that it was watching him.
"You are Mr. Gensho, right? You are a truly remarkable soldier."
Then the Creator spoke in a tone of utmost admiration:
"To be able to defeat that powerful Shocker leader with a single type of memory, based on this achievement, you will surely have a place in my Lord's divine kingdom. Do you want to destroy this mechanical crystal?"
After saying that, the creator's hand gently grasped, and cracks immediately appeared all over the mechanical crystal. As Yuanxiang raised his eyebrows, the core that provided energy to the entire nameless island exploded.
"This is just a small gift, nothing more. Mr. Gensho, are you now willing to listen to a talk about the Kingdom of God of my Lord?"
"...It seems you were prepared all along."
Gengo received no expression from the creature's face, and its tone remained unchanged throughout. However, having anticipated various unexpected events, Gengo quickly understood the creature's intention. By proactively disarming its defenses, it was likely trying to lure Hino Eiji and Ankh in and seize the Core Medals from them. After all, the only things that interested the enemy now were the Medals and Crystals.
"awesome."
The Creator clapped his hands and looked at Yuanxiang, saying:
