The Knight of the Second Generation of Demons Re-enacts

Stroking her smooth chin with the hand hidden under her long sleeves, Airihako looked thoughtful, and then smiled with a hint of "I see".

"Ms. Shunchuan has also become fond of telling riddles. Is it because she has worked with that guy, Lionheart Dusk, for too long?"

Airi Tachu waved to the Steel Insect lying on top of the Twin Turbines. The latter shook its body like a proud kitten, but finally flew over reluctantly and let the stupid human touch it.

"You have misunderstood a little. Although I do want to see with my own eyes what kind of people these naughty works' current owners are, I have no intention of giving you a trial. The trial that Miss Junchuan mentioned has already begun the moment you saw me. Simply put, it is to protect my safety."

"here we go?"

Twin Turbine repeated the other person's words subconsciously, while Elise released the already impatient Steel Fighter Insect Instrument and let it fly back to its not-so-bright owner.

"Hmm, where do I start?"

After taking a sip of black tea, Airi Suzuko glanced at the specimen of larval alien insect on the table.

"By the way, how much do you know about protozoa?"

"Protozoa?"

Compared to the confused Twin Turbine, the Emperor of the East China Sea had already had some guesses about this new race mentioned by Tetsuna Tsuchiya.

"If I'm not mistaken, they are another race that is hostile to the Zerg. The Kamen Rider system is the technology brought by the Zerg 15 years ago, right?"

“Haha~ Have you already understood this much on your own? You are worthy of being the candidate for the Sun God designated by the Lionheart Dusk.”

Elissako couldn't help but praise him out loud, but the Emperor of the East Sea noticed a detail that he had been concerned about from the beginning.

——Was my identity as Kabuto designated by Lionheart Dusk, not those so-called protozoa?

This is a detail worth noting. The Emperor of the East Sea can be sure that Lionheart Dusk was only recently replaced by the protozoa, while the fact that he was Kabuto was recorded 15 years ago.

This means that the Lionheart Dusk who designated herself as Kabuto at the time was undoubtedly a horse girl.

This caused some contradictions in the conjectures of the Emperor of the East Sea. She originally thought that the prophecy and the Kamen Rider system were brought by protozoa. Now it seems that the Lionheart Dusk also has secrets...

Airi Suzuko noticed that the Emperor of the East China Sea seemed to be thinking, but she did not wait for him to finish thinking and continued her topic.

"You guessed right. The Kamen Rider System was indeed brought to Earth by the protozoa. Although the official information has not been made public, another meteorite actually visited this planet 15 years ago, 8 years earlier than the Zerg."

"They have the same mimicry ability as the Zerg, and are more powerful than the Zerg. The only drawback is that the molting cycle of these protozoa is very long. It is so long that by the time the protozoa have completed one molt, the third generation of Zerg offspring is almost born."

"Because of this serious flaw, even though they have an advantage in quality, their disadvantage in quantity is too great. Once the Zerg know of the existence of the Protozoa, they will begin to hunt them endlessly and will never allow the latter to have a chance to grow."

"Unfortunately, when the protozoa of 15 years ago came to Earth, they learned through some means that a group of natural enemies would also arrive on this blue planet later. So in order to ensure the survival of their race, they came up with a plan..."

"Give the Kamen Rider system to the native humans of this planet, and cooperate with them to fight against the alien insects that will come in the future."

The Emperor of the East Sea said what Ellyako said next with a serious expression, which earned him an appreciative look from the latter.

"Yes, they did."

"So, the protozoa are actually good people?"

Twin Turbo touched the back of his head and summarized the current information, but in return he got a cold eye from Elly Hayabusa.

She looked at the steel insect instrument on the blue-haired idiot's head and showed a subtle expression.

"Although I cannot interfere with your selection criteria for the fittest, I still think you should at least find a smarter child."

In response, the invincible god of war simply swung his hard jaw, making a "clicking" sound.

"You said there are some things that only fools would do without hesitation?"

Airihazu understood what the other party meant and began to think about it.

"I see. Compared to the basic qualities of the fit, you are more willing to seek spiritual things. This is really interesting."

"That's great, Three Gorges Dam, you've finally been found to have some merit just because you're such a fool!"

“I don’t need this kind of recognition!”

Twin Turbine yelled angrily at the East Sea Emperor who patted her shoulder with a look of satisfaction, and Airi Suko also came out of her thoughts and returned to the previous topic.

"I don't deny that some protozoa have indeed changed their mindsets after mimicking and have the idea of ​​coexisting peacefully with humans, but from the perspective of their original purpose, it is naturally impossible for the protozoa to help the earthlings out of kindness. In fact, if there were no threat from alien insects, they would only quietly infiltrate human society until they completely replaced humans."

As she spoke, Airihazu looked at the Emperor of the East Sea. As one of the persons in charge of the Kamen Rider system, she had naturally read the information about the Emperor of the East Sea. She believed that this Kabuto had a deep understanding of the nature of the protozoa.

The Emperor of the East China Sea also thought of his parents who were replaced by protozoa, and his fists clenched unconsciously.

"So, after saying so much, what do you want to say? Could it be that you have also been targeted by the protozoa and want us to protect you?"

"No, that's not necessary."

Airihakuko smiled meaningfully.

Then, in the shocked eyes of the Emperor of the East China Sea and Twin Turbine, she actually transformed into a green creature with a single horn.

This creature looks very similar to the Zerg larvae, the only difference is the huge horn on its head.

The Emperor of the East China Sea would never forget the appearance of this creature. It was one of her few nightmares. She had just learned that the monster was called the protozoan.

"Hahaha, as you can see, I've already been tricked. After all, protozoa aren't stupid. Something as important as the Kamen Rider System can't really be handed over to humans for research and development."

The protozoan turned back into the appearance of Elly Tachyon, and the smile on her face remained unchanged, which made Twin Turbine feel a little chilly.

"Long ago, the researchers involved, including the real Airy Tachyon, were replaced by protozoa. What you see before you is nothing more than a remnant who stole Airy Tachyon's existence and lives shamelessly in the world."

"You guy!"

Twin Turbo stood up angrily, but was stopped by the East China Sea Emperor. She looked at the still smiling Ailisuko and asked a question.

"You said that some protozoa have changed their state of mind after mimicking. What about you? Are you on the side of humans or the protozoa?"

"Hahaha! Isn't the answer obvious? Since I'm willing to play along with that fellow Twilight the Lionheart, I've naturally become a rare protozoan. The little tricks on your belts were done by me secretly."

"Little hands and feet?"

"Nothing much, just a little device that makes the dancers dance when necessary."

Airihaku looked meaningfully at the belts around their waists and started the next topic.

"Let's get back to the point. Regarding the test, the following requirements may make you feel a little dissatisfied, but I hope you can bear with it and protect a weak, pitiful and helpless little bug like me."

"..."

The two of them stared at each other in silence, and Airi Hayabusa nodded with satisfaction, seeming to enjoy the feeling of being the focus of attention.

"I wonder if you have heard of the recently popular Sky Ladder Project of the Tereson Space Agency? I am very interested in it~"]

418: Bait Operation (4k)

[“Ladder Project?”

Compared to Twin Turbine who showed an expression full of wisdom after hearing the name, the Emperor of the East China Sea had some impression of the news published in the newspaper.

After the meteorite fall seven years ago, people who experienced the disaster from the universe subconsciously became interested in the aerospace industry.

The Tracem Space Agency was established in this environment, dedicated to preventing tragedies from happening again.

Such a big move made by such a place that was highly anticipated by the world after 7 years naturally attracted a lot of attention, and even the emperor of the East China Sea was not immune to it.

Judging from the design drawings and plans that have been revealed to the public by the media in interviews, this "Tower of Babylon" which is over 150 meters high is actually a giant mechanism similar to a turret. According to the project leader, this turret can perfectly monitor the situation in the sky over half of the earth in real time, and carry out ultra-long-range strikes on meteorites, completely destroying them outside the earth.

In other words, if two such ladders were built at the two ends of the earth, the tragedy of seven years ago would become a thing of the past, and mankind would no longer suffer such misery...

"...Well, at least that's what I read in the newspaper."

After drinking the tea in the cup, Airi Hayabusa read the words on the newspaper in a flat tone, her beautiful red eyes full of mockery of the words.

"Any questions?"

Twin Turbine was a little confused. She just felt that what she just heard was impressive and she didn't understand the problem at all.

"Hahaha, the problem is that there are no problems at all! From project establishment to the approval of various processes, this Tianti project can be said to have had green lights all the way. It is as formal as it can be. I can't even find any technical difficulties that I expected. What's more amazing is that other scientific research projects pray to Buddha and gods when attracting investment, and they can't wait to kowtow to the investors, but this Tianti project is completely the opposite. It's the investors who are running to kowtow to it."

At this point, the Emperor of the East China Sea also noticed that something was wrong.

"Although preventing threats from space has become a general trend in line with public opinion, it is indeed very abnormal that a project with no precedent and only a plan at the beginning can receive such strange support."

"From the time the plan was proposed to the time it is now under construction, this kind of expensive project should have taken about a year, but..."

The Emperor of the East Sea tried to recall the past information, and Airi Suzuko continued what she said.

"It's been less than three months. As the current chief researcher of ZECT, I naturally wouldn't miss such news. But even for me, the first time I heard about the emergence of this black technology was only two months ago. This is too abnormal. It completely overturned my understanding of the human top leaders' haggling skills."

Airihaku shook her hands hidden under her long sleeves.

"unless……"

"Unless all the senior executives related to this project have been replaced by Zerg!"

Twin Turbine's eyes widened. Now that things had come to this, he finally understood the seriousness of the problem.

"bingo!"

Airihazu clapped her hands and nodded with satisfaction.

"The Zerg suddenly made such a big move, which made me a little curious, so I decided to go over and take a look to find out what their purpose is. And you are honored to be my bodyguards."

"Wouldn't it be better if you reported this to ZECT and asked them to send forces to investigate?"

"Well, just think of this as my little curiosity as a researcher."

Aisuko did not give a direct answer to the question from the East China Sea Emperor. The smile on her face was like a thick barrier, blocking the other party from seeing through her.

Although she had never seen a device like the Sky Ladder, Alice's genius brain had some vague guesses when she first saw the appearance of the thing.

A big part of the reason why she wanted to investigate personally this time was that she wanted to confirm her guess.

——If my guess is true, then the fewer people who know the true identity of the ladder, the better. Especially, the protozoa must not be allowed to know of its existence.

If it can summon compatriots for the alien insects, it can naturally do the same for the protozoa.

Although Airi Hayako spoke well of the Emperor of the East Sea, in fact, like Surukawa Tetsuna, she did not completely believe in the Emperor of the East Sea, especially since she knew about the Emperor of the East Sea's feelings for the protozoan Tsurumaru Tsuyoshi.

——What a trouble! A batch of protozoa and Zerg is troublesome enough, but I didn't expect the Zerg to have such a killer weapon. Lionheart Dusk, was this also within your expectations?

Looking at the Umamusu who seemed to be the embodiment of confidence, Airi's wine-red eyes flickered slightly, as if she saw the figure of another accomplice in her. 】

It's simply heavenly music: this Miss Airihazuko's ego is so strong that even though she knows she is a protozoan, she can still continue to help humans wholeheartedly without wavering.

Okino T: Well, it turns out that all the horse girls are good kids (tears)!
