The Knight of the Second Generation of Demons Re-enacts

There is no way, he gave too much.jpg

On the other side, seeing that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, Shizhi took the ultra-small mechanical device from Chen Shi's hand and looked at it carefully.

"Can this little thing affect memory? But why would DEM do that?"

"That's the question."

Chen Shi rubbed his fingers and turned to look at Erya, whose face was still not very good. The latter was not a stupid person. After learning that such a thing was buried in his body, he immediately understood DEM's intention and his face became even more gloomy.

"Can I tell Miss Gokawa Shiori my guess, Miss Honjo Nia? Or do you want to solve it yourself?"

"... Just tell me."

"Okay, Ms. Gokawa Shiori, what do you think DEM will do after catching the elf?"

"Uh, research?"

With a bad premonition coming to his mind, Shiori gave a relatively conservative answer.

"Research?"

Chen Shi gave a malicious smile.

"You are very smart, but unfortunately you are still a little off the correct answer. The correct answer should be inhumane experiments. Electric shock, cutting, brainwashing, blood drawing... Any experiment you can think of, or even anything you can't think of that can be called torture, should have happened to Miss Honjo Niya."

"Varied!?"

Shizhi felt her scalp tingling. She looked at Erya, whose face was ashen. Although the other party no longer had this part of the memory, when Chen Shi mentioned it, his body still trembled instinctively.

Obviously, Erya's reaction confirmed that Chen Shi's guess was almost correct.

Shiori is also a smart person. Considering the past experience of Tohka being caught and then having a reversal, she immediately realized what those people from DEM wanted to do?

"They want to use the despair and pain of Erya when she recovers her memory to force Erya to reverse and become a reversed spirit?"

"Correct. You are worthy of being my hero. You can come up with the answer based on limited information. What do you think? Do you still think my deposit is excessive?"

Erya shook her head. Compared to the painless craniotomy, the recollection of those terrible experiences made her feel more afraid.

At this moment, she even felt a trace of gratitude towards Chen Shi in her heart.

"Then even if the deposit issue is completely resolved, it's almost time to get down to business. Ms. Honjo Niya, could you please use your angel to search for Ms. Tobiichi Origami's current condition?"

"Okay, let me tell you!"

A gray book with a cross inlaid on it appeared, and as its pages turned quickly, information about the current state of Tobiichi Origami appeared in Nia's mind.

"what?"

What she saw was a somewhat strange scene. Origami, who had been fighting with her and Kurumi before, was actually chatting with the latter calmly at this moment, and the outfit she was wearing...

"It's actually a spiritual outfit?"

Curious, Erya flipped through the first few pages and then showed a shocked expression.

"Origami Tobiichi encountered a phantom and was turned into a spirit. Now she is planning to team up with Kurumi to go back to the past and change the future."

"She turned into an elf?"

Shiori was stunned. She didn't expect that in less than 15 minutes from the time the false space earthquake alarm sounded, the situation had become increasingly complicated.

"Why does she want to cooperate with Kurumi? What is the content of the cooperation?"

"Well, let me see. The content of the cooperation is that Origami provides spiritual power and time to Kurumi and acts as a guinea pig for Kurumi's Twelve Bullets, while Kurumi gives her a chance to change the past."

Changing the past...

All Shiori could think of was the time when Origami's parents were killed by elves during the fire in Amamiya City.

"Great! If Origami can really do this, then she will have no reason to be an enemy of the elves anymore!"

Shizhi smiled. She was optimistic and thought about the future success of the origami plan. Unfortunately, Chen Shi mercilessly poured cold water on her.

"Is that really the case? Destiny is not something that can be changed so easily."

"…Are you trying to say that origami will fail, Mr. Stellius?"

Looking at Chen Shi's playful expression, Shizhi felt a little uneasy.

"If it were as simple as failure, I wouldn't have chosen to appear before you, my hero."

Chen Shi shrugged and gave Erya another instruction.

"Can you please search for the truth behind the death of Origami Tobiichi's parents?"

"cause of death?"

Hearing Chen Shi's request, Erya frowned and also felt uneasy, but she did not hesitate in operating the elf, and the "Volume of Confessions" began to turn again. However, the answer she got this time made Erya, a knowledgeable elf, feel weird.

"Tobiichi Origami's parents died from Tobiichi Origami's attack?"

The chilling words were spoken by Niya word by word, and each word was like a huge hammer hitting Shiori's chest.

All the clues of the past are connected together at this moment.

Ratatosk recorded the presence of unrecorded spirits at the time of the fire.

Kotori was clearly with her, but Origami witnessed the existence of a spirit.

Kurumi and Origami made a deal about changing the past.

The mysterious cause of death of Origami's parents as told by Erya.

The answer is ready to come out.

Origami Tobiichi went back in time and killed her parents by mistake, and her younger self witnessed everything, thus forming a sad and stupid Möbius strip.

It turns out that Origami himself is his real enemy!

The moment he came to this answer, Shiori felt his hair stand on end, his hands and feet became cold, and his whole body felt as if something was strangling his throat, making it impossible for him to make a sound.

Just when she was about to suffocate, the man's steady voice rang out, stabilizing her wavering heart.

"What's wrong? Did you give up after learning about the horror of fate? The ending is still some distance away. Do you want to give the right to decide the ending of the story to fate?"

Yes, there is still time. The intervention of this man named Stellius has brought a turn for the hopeless outcome.

Shizhi looked up at Chen Shi, the confusion in his eyes no longer existing.

"No, Mr. Stellius, the ending of the story is up to me!"

073: Chen Shi's Confession (Fog)

"Well said, you are worthy of being my hero."

Looking at Shiori who was getting closer and closer to the "Gokawa Shiori" in the video, looking at her unyielding eyes, strong character and gentle heart that cared about her partners, Chen Shi did not use acting skills for the first time in front of the people of the battle world, but chose to blurt out his true thoughts.

As expected, this beautiful light of the soul is the reason why Chen Shi loves Kamen Rider so deeply.

The sharp-minded Shizhi also noticed the difference in Chen Shi's words. She looked into the latter's beautiful golden eyes and asked the questions that had been accumulating in her heart for a long time.

"Mr. Stellius, why are you helping me? And what does 'my hero' even mean?"

“These questions…”

Chen Shi rubbed his chin. He wanted to evade the question with a classic quote from a certain snake-skinned monster: "All this is for your growth!" However, looking at the clear eyes of the girl, he finally did not choose to brush off these questions with a joke, but instead looked back into her eyes seriously.

"Since your answer satisfies me, I will give my hero a small reward. I want to see the hero shine. Every world is telling its own story, and every story has its own protagonist. For me, Gokawa Shiori, you are the protagonist of this world, and the prototype of the shining hero that I long to see.

In the last world, you have done very well, so I want to give you some small help. I want to see the hero and her companions get a better ending. Don't worry about my existence or my ulterior motives. I guarantee with my soul that I am just a fan of yours, a demon king who admires heroes, that's all."

Chen Shi's words were sincere and there was not a bit of falsehood in them.

The process of re-enacting the history of Kamen Rider was not only joyful and refreshing, he also felt disgusted with himself countless times for the tragedies he had created with his own hands.

Unlike the screenwriters of Kamen Rider who write stories, they just move their pens, and no matter how many people die, they are just numbers in their hands, and they don't feel any guilt at all.

But the re-enactment of the knight who was enough to create a new history was different. Chen Shi really used his strength and strategy to force many people into desperate situations, and imposed the heaviness of these four Kamen Riders on the world.

Even if Chen Shi could make everything go back to normal with just a thought afterwards, what happened has happened. Since he was not a real villain, he would naturally be tortured by his conscience.

In this situation, in addition to the responsibility of saving the Kamen Rider multiverse, one after another new Kamen Riders radiating the light of humanity have become his spiritual support. They are no longer fictional characters in the special effects dramas of his previous lives, but real living people born from his hands.

This fact is also a major reason that motivates Chen Shi to complete the mission. To repeat, Chen Shi deeply loves Kamen Rider.

Shizhi could feel the weight of Chen Shi's words. Even if an Italian zipper gigolo came to prpr in person, he would not be able to taste the smell of lies from the man in front of him.

But Shizhi didn't know Chen Shi's past after all, and didn't know the depth of his language. The asymmetry of information led to cognitive bias.

Imagine a powerful, mysterious and handsome man appears in front of you to offer you help, and then speaks the following words to you affectionately (from Shiori's perspective).

Such as...

"To me you are the protagonist of this world";

"My Hero";

“The shining hero I longed to see”;

"Shiori-chan, I'm your fan!"

Some of these words seem meaningless but are actually very corny. To an underage Japanese female high school student, isn't this just an alternative confession?

The moment he thought of this, Shiori's cheeks felt inexplicably hot. At this moment, Ratatoskr observed that Shiori's favorability towards Chen Shi had increased a lot in the past moment. If other employees had not stopped him, Kotori would have driven Ratatoskr and rushed over to start the fight.

"Yes, that's right. Thank you for your help, Mr. Stellius."

"Heh, it would be great if a hero could help me."

"oh oh."

Seeing that Shizhi was a little embarrassed, Chen Shi, who was already tens of thousands years old but was only interested in Kamen Rider, didn't take it to heart at all.

Put yourself in his shoes. If he were praised like this by a powerful guy, he would probably feel embarrassed too.

"Well, I'll take my leave now. I hope that next time we meet, I'll see you and your friends safe and sound, my hero. And Miss Honjo Niya, I'll try to get the Dark Sword Moon Dark for you."

"Great! Thank you, boss. You are so generous."

Chen Shi waved to Shizhi and Niya and disappeared in front of them.

Some of the people who made her shy have disappeared, and Shiori's expression has slowly returned to normal. She looked at Erya beside her with a determined look on her face.

"Miss Erya, I have something to ask of you."

"Hey, I know. You want to know Tokisaki Kurumi's current location. I've already checked it for you. But in exchange, Ratatoskr must protect me well in the future."
