The Warrior of Love

In short, major events that may not occur for several years in the past may occur once every one or two months, or even every week. "

"This... this is too scary. Is it really going to be like this? How can we deal with it on our own?" Lina asked what everyone was worried about.

"Nine times out of ten it will be like this."

Jiang Liu sat down and crossed his hands in front of the mask, covering the lower part.

“Therefore, TPC will increase its support for the Victory Team. You will have more privileges and resources. Then, the confidential information that was previously blocked will also be open to you. Don’t worry that you will fight alone. We all have your back.

Gentlemen, please be prepared - we are shouldering the future of mankind!"

Chapter 290: Kamen Rider and the Revolutionary Machine

"Ultraman... Kamen Rider... Armor..."

"What are you mumbling about, Nori?"

In the cafeteria of TPC's 13th area, Xincheng, who was eating lunch, looked up and frowned at Nori opposite him.

"Why are you playing games if you don't want to eat properly? You still have to go on a mission later. Don't blame me for not reminding you if you get hungry."

"No, I'm not playing."

Ye Rui was helpless. He was the youngest and the most "trendy" one in the team, and was often easily treated as a child.

"I'm looking up information."

"Don't be so stubborn, you're obviously just playing around and watching an action movie... Hey, isn't this the Ultraman you mentioned last time?"

"I always feel that the overlap between Ultraman's image and the giant in this special effects film is not just a coincidence. There must be some kind of connection between them."

Ye Rui shook his head. "But the director has passed away, and his family didn't pay much attention to this work. Obviously, they didn't know anything. However, I took this as an opportunity to start investigating various fantasy works, hoping to find some useful information, and I actually found some."

"What?" Xincheng put down his chopsticks and moved the chair over.

"Don't squeeze me... I found the Kamen Rider series."

"Oh, I know this one. It's the famous company that specializes in coaxing children into buying toys!"

Ye Rui, who had also bought some Cavaliers peripherals, froze: "New Town players, please stop talking so hopelessly, okay?"

"Sorry, sorry, please continue."

"Well... I found out that the image of Kamen Rider was not made up out of thin air, but like Ultraman, it has a prototype that is like an ancient giant.

I haven't experienced it, but the older generation should still remember that there was a large-scale earthquake in the Kanto region fifty years ago."

"That? Yes, I've heard of it too." Xincheng's tone became gloomy.

"That wasn't a real earthquake."

"what?!"

Ye Rui clicked on a certain file: "I was able to find this only after the confidential database was made public to us... That incident actually had a very complicated background."

A flash of snow appeared on the screen, and after the noisy radio wave passed, vague black and white images and sounds appeared.

[Look... it's an alien... the Self-Defense Force... help, help - I can't take it anymore, someone please save me... ah! Monster! ]

The video is very confusing, with frequent black screen interruptions, but you can still see some amazing things from the intermittent footage.

First of all, the spaceship is not the disc-shaped one often seen in science fiction movies, but a rectangular block like a coffin, suspended in the atmosphere in a form that violates the laws of physics - if you can overcome gravity, there is really no need to worry about the shape.

Then there was a violent shaking, the whole earth was collapsing, and tall buildings collapsed one after another.

Finally...the monsters.

Monsters similar to giant insects were spread across the land by spacecraft, constantly hunting the surviving humans, and a city soon turned into hell. The video was interrupted with a snap when a giant mantis swooped over.

Ye Rui silently switched to another video, and Xincheng also looked serious.

The clarity of this video is much higher, and it seems to have been shot from a helicopter or something like that, with a bird's-eye view from beginning to end.

From the video, we can see that on the ruins full of insects, a man wearing strange armor is waving a big sword, or casually lifting the concrete wall and throwing it, constantly killing those insects that are more than a meter tall.

His strength was overwhelming to the insects, and he rescued survivors one after another. However, the number of insects was increasing, and even killing a few hundred would not help the overall situation.

So, he finally rushed towards the spaceship with his sword in hand...

"That's all you can see. Cameras were still very precious at that time."

Nori turned off the video: "According to the subsequent report of the mysterious investigation bureau at the time, the knight must have sneaked into the interior of the spacecraft and destroyed the anti-gravity system, making the spacecraft unable to move and unable to use gravity to disrupt human long-range weapons. In the end, we used a large amount of ammunition to completely destroy it."

"Well, but, how could such a big thing be kept secret all this time?"

Xincheng couldn't understand: "This is a city, how can you use the excuse of an earthquake? What about the survivors?"

"The higher-ups decided to keep it secret, and the survivors participated in the confidentiality plan, which enabled them to receive a considerable amount of support funds... Now, there are not many survivors left, and this matter has become even less known."

Nori groaned, "But there must be someone among those survivors who still remembers this knight and created the work "Masked Rider" based on his image."

"Oh my god! This kind of thing actually happened... Where's that knight? Who is he... Is he human?"

"I couldn't find any information related to him, and if I dug a little deeper, I was told that I didn't have enough authority."

At this point, Nori lowered his voice: "I once tried to hack into the core database, but there was nothing in it!"

"what?"

"The storage device for that information should not be connected to the Internet... No, it should not be stored on a computer at all. Instead, it should be stored in the form of paper materials in a room somewhere in this base."

"It sounds like a Hollywood blockbuster. It feels too dangerous. Ye Rui, you should stop it. Even if you find out, it happened fifty years ago. What's the use?" Xincheng looked serious.

Unexpectedly, Nori shook his head: "It wasn't fifty years ago. The prototype of Kamen Rider appeared more than once. It also appeared twenty years ago and ten years ago. It just didn't cause much noise. What it did was regarded as an urban legend."

"Urban legend..." Xincheng seemed to have thought of something, "Armor, armor... Armor Hero?!"

"You remember it too!"

Ye Rui's expression was exactly what I expected: "He appeared when we were young, a righteous partner walking in the darkness, a hero silently guarding the city in the corner...

However, this urban legend was soon considered to be a promotion for the special effects work "Kamen Rider", that is, a marketing strategy of the company, and an exaggerated rumor spread by word of mouth.

Xincheng, don’t you think this is a coincidence? "

"Not good! It's really not good!"

Xin Cheng didn't even have the heart to eat anymore: "Is there some conspiracy here?"

"Who knows-"

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Just when the atmosphere of "gossip" between the two was getting more and more intense, the communicator suddenly rang. Captain Iruma Kei told them that there was an emergency mission. The two of them regretfully dropped their unfinished lunch and immediately got ready.

As for "Masked Rider"?

After all, it was just something that happened many years ago, just something to talk about after dinner, so naturally it had to give way to the mission.

The two were exhausted by the high-intensity duty, and it was unknown how long it would take for them to think about this matter again...

-

dong dong!

"Please come in..."

Director Sawai's secretary walked in. He was an outstanding young man who was well-dressed and exuded a capable temperament.

"Director, Tokyo TV is planning to conduct an exclusive interview with TPC, preferably live on TV, to ask us about our views on the recently appeared giant...Ultraman Tiga. Do you think we need to agree to this?"

"TV station?"

Sawai put down the document in his hand, thought for a moment and said, "The appearance of this supernatural being must make the people feel uneasy. It is our responsibility to eliminate their fear, so of course we have to agree."

"So, who should go?"

"We are now divided internally on Tiga... Let the captain go. Her attitude is relatively mild. As an outstanding woman, her image will also bring us a lot of positive feedback."

"Okay, I'll go inform her right away."

"Wait a moment!"

Sawai tapped his fingers lightly on the table, thought for a while and then said, "Let Commander Xu go too. He needs to do more to stop his mind from wandering."

-

"Ok?"

"what happened?"

"I always feel like someone is talking about me."

Jiang Liu curled his lips: "There are many people in this world who hate me, this is not surprising."

"how could be?"

Standing next to him was a thin man with some gray hair on his temples.

"Mr. Xu is such a great man, he should be respected by more people."

"Don't comfort me. I know I have done a lot of things that make people resent me." Jiang Liu said self-deprecatingly.

Unexpectedly, the man became more serious: "But for us researchers, Mr. Xu is like Prometheus who stole fire! If you hadn't promoted the principles of "science without borders" and "one earth civilization", breaking the routine and integrating the scientific and technological forces of various countries, how could the new era develop so fast?"

This person is right. The establishment of TPC is actually a by-product of the implementation of these two principles (TPC was originally just a multinational organization of scientists, and later absorbed the Earth Defense Force).

Although it may seem like a high-sounding empty slogan, when someone actually promotes it and has the ability to do it... it becomes very scary.

In the process, no one knows how many technological superpowers have lost their technological advantages and gnashed their teeth, and no one knows how many business tycoons’ cash cows have been uprooted - in short, it is just as Jiang Liu said.

There really are a lot of people who resent him!

If it weren't for Jiang Liu's strong fists and his leadership charisma that was superior to that of ordinary people, he would have used such a lowly trick as mental control when he was pushed to the limit...

However, after the technology of various countries began to communicate without barriers, the technology tree soon ushered in a wave of rapid growth, and the top leaders also gained a lot of benefits from it, and began to rely on Jiang Liu. There was no need to use mental power to oppress them, and they were also happy to cooperate.

——When the "disaster" strikes in the future, these people will truly thank Jiang Liu from the bottom of their hearts.

Nowadays, the fields of energy, medicine, metallurgy, chemical industry, aerospace, etc. are far more developed than the twenty-one Earth in the normal world line.

Because we don't want to cause too much social unrest, some things have not been popularized, but in the fields of military and space development, they are actually quite exaggerated.

For example, the man next to Jiang Liu - Dr. Yaoi.

In the original story, he built things like the Magus Power System and even developed a ship capable of interstellar travel, but here he accomplishes even more.

That spacecraft was completed five years ahead of schedule, and now we are moving on to the next project.

"This thing will change the world sooner or later!"

Dr. Yaoi looked up at his latest creation.

It was a rather tall mechanical structure, about forty meters in height. Because it had no paint and no external weapons, it looked like an ordinary silver-gray humanoid mecha.

what?

Why is it a human form, rather than fighter planes or tanks that have greater practical value?

Because Dr. Yao is Japanese!

Does this need any explanation?

There is a reason why Jiang Liu specifically came to find a Japanese scientist to study this!

“Because it is a landmark work in the field of robots and subverts the previous impression, I call it - "Revolutionary Machine"! ”

Jiang Liu: “…”

Chapter 291: The Devil's Prophecy

"So, does that mean that TPC has a positive attitude toward the Giants, or even supports it?"

"No, what we say here only represents our personal opinions at best. If it is an official attitude, then TPC will have a special spokesperson to announce it in a more formal occasion."

Iruma Kei looked at Officer Kyon who was talking to the host in surprise, and the expression on his face fully explained what "surprise" looked like.

She didn't expect that this officer, who seemed mysterious in her eyes and didn't even show his face, could be so free and easy in public. There was no sign of awkwardness or embarrassment, as if he was born for this kind of thing.

No, to be honest, his rhetoric skills are not that great. At most, he is just "relatively good at official rhetoric". What really allows him to control the situation is his irrepressible self-confidence and the leadership qualities that overflow from his words.

It seems that there is no way to question him, so one can only believe him, and once one believes so... one will feel extremely at ease.

What an amazing feeling.
