The Warrior of Love

"It's your own hard work. I just gave you a chance. You saved your life by yourself, Souichiro."

Jiang Liu waved his hand: "Even if I leave, you can still survive independently. This is all due to your own hard work."

"No, that's not the case. I..."

I just came here because I was following your back.

——Sawai was unable to utter these words.

If you say this, the teacher will definitely laugh at you. This kind of words, which seem to indicate that you are pinning your life on others and have no motivation or ambition, are what teachers dislike the most.

"what……"

Sawai clenched his fists, took deep breaths, and tried hard not to let his voice choke.

"Teacher, are you really leaving?"

"Ah, yes, there is no way to delay this any longer. This body was made temporarily and it is almost time to use it up.

If I force myself to stay, it might stimulate something, and it would not be good if the other party woke up prematurely.

But don't worry, I'm not really dead. According to your understanding, I'm just "sleeping" for a while. I don't know when, but I will be back."

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what the teacher said at all."

"After all, I haven't told you before." Jiang Liu smiled.

But Sawai gritted his teeth and said, "Is it unnecessary? Because even if you tell us, we definitely can't help?"

"Uh..." Jiang Liu was silent and did not answer directly, but this subtle silence was already the answer, at least that's what Ze Jing thought.

"It is indeed the case...but I won't accept it!"

Sawai shouted out loudly as if he had given up on himself: "Why should I be looked down upon like this! Even if it was me, even if it was me... I could still help the teacher!"

"Soichiro——"

"teacher!"

Zejing interrupted Jiang Liu's words, and his tone suddenly changed. It was tough and yet reliable, as if he had turned into a solid fortification.

"I will protect everything you left behind, teacher, and sooner or later I will make you acknowledge me."

"Huh!" Jiang Liu turned around in surprise.

Sawai continued, "Although I don't know how far away your back is, I will definitely reach where you are standing and fight alongside you!"

"Uh……"

“So, please work hard for that day as well.”

There was mist in Sawai's eyes, but his dignity as a man prevented him from admitting what it was.

"Don't give up. No matter what happens, please keep going until the day we meet again!"

"what……"

Jiang Liu opened his mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say. Looking at Ze Jing, who had a resolute expression and looked like an adult, he felt a little dazed.

It was when he first woke up. In the ruins of the city destroyed by the Zerg, he dug up the cement slabs and found the dying little boy among the steel bars and stones...

In the blink of an eye, he has become a man who stands tall and proud.

Although we have known each other for more than ten years, we have only been together for less than two years. Why do I have the illusion that I am watching this child grow up little by little?

Are human emotions not limited by time?

What a wonderful experience.

"Okay, the teacher promises you."

At dawn, when the rising sun breaks through the horizon, Jiang Liu reveals a gentle smile in the morning light.

"Let's work hard together, Soichi..."

"Well!"

Watching the river flow disappear like foam in the morning light, Zei silently covered his eyes with his hands and raised his head to look up at the sky.

Where the river disappeared, a peculiarly shaped belt was left behind.

It looks like it is made up of gears and triggers, and the front is covered with a yin-yang fish pattern. Overall, it seems to be a combination of Eastern magic concepts and technology, which seems a bit out of place.

If Chen Gong were here, he would probably recognize at a glance that this was his magic circuit acceleration device, but it had obviously been modified.

And in the center of this device, that is, in the middle of the inside of the belt, there is a red gem that emits magnificent light - the Ultra Star.

That night, Kamen Rider II, Soichiro Sawai, began to step onto the world stage.

Chapter 312: [Human] and [Non-Human]

"Sir, now you can tell me, who are you?"

After returning to the modern era, Jiang Liu and Dagu did not go to the TPC headquarters. Dagu could not hold back his doubts and asked directly on the spot.

"You've been consciously approaching me since we first met, right? You've also been taking good care of me... Is this all because of the Titan?"

"You have a lot of questions. I can answer you right now: Yes, I did know from the beginning that you were different."

Jiang Liu said calmly: "Even if you inherited the light factor of the super ancient civilization, you can awaken the giant stone statue. This is also within my expectations."

"Hmm!" Dagu frowned, his expression was very complicated, and he felt a sense of inability to let go.

"So, I am really an outlier?"

"I don't know what you're thinking, but it's better not to think of yourself as special. That's a sign of Chuunibyou."

Jiang Liu looked at his expression, considered for a moment, and slowly said, "You are undoubtedly an ordinary human being, both in terms of ethics and species classification."

"Ordinary?" Da Gu found it hard to accept, "Can my situation be called ordinary?"

He can transform into a giant, and release rays of light that can penetrate mountains or monsters. He can smash skyscrapers with a random punch, and he can destroy a metropolis if he has a bad idea.

——Can he be considered "ordinary"?

If an ordinary person obtained this kind of power, he would definitely be ecstatic.

This kind of plot can be found in many superhero comics, where an ordinary person becomes a "superman" because of an accident, and from then on he either becomes a hero by doing good deeds or degenerates into a criminal. But in any case, he will definitely deviate from his original life trajectory and embark on an unknown path.

However, Da Gu was unable to accept his fate as calmly as the cartoon characters, and was even more uneasy about this power.

Why is it me?

Where should the future go?

Now that I have this power, shouldn't I take on more responsibility for this world?

and most importantly -

Am I really still a human being?

Do I really have the ability to use the power of giants?

Even if he can maintain a sense of justice now, as time goes by, he will gradually become addicted to power, or even abuse his power to bully others... This possibility also exists!

It can be said that since becoming a giant, similar questions have been constantly bothering Daiko, and he has thought about the question of "who am I" countless times.

Now that he discovered that Jiang Liu was also a special individual, he couldn't help but want to pour out his troubles.

"What the hell am I? A giant, or a human?!"

"Well..."

However, Jiang Liu seemed completely unable to understand his dilemma, and his tone was light and light, making people feel that he did not take Dagu's affairs to heart.

“Probably both.”

"Sir, I'm asking you seriously!"

"I am also answering you very seriously, Team Member Daigu."

Jiang Liu chuckled and said, "You are both a human and a giant. There is no need to worry about which side you stand on. Just follow your truest thoughts deep in your heart."

"My heart?"

"Well, Team Member Dagu, how do you define the existence of "human beings"? "

"Ah?" Dagu was stunned and found it difficult to answer for a moment.

Jiang Liu didn't seem to expect him to answer immediately, and said to himself: "If you have a human body and facial features, and learn human language, can you be called a human? Or do you have to have a human mind to be called a human?"

Jiang Liu gave Dagu some time to think, then paused before continuing.

“Personally, I have always believed that the definition of a “person” does not lie in appearance, but in the soul, that is, our own cognition and inner heart.

If a person is extremely evil and depraved, he cannot be called a human being even if he has the most beautiful body.

On the contrary, if one has a pure heart and good humanity, then even if he lives in the body of an ugly monster, he is undoubtedly one of us!

In the final analysis, this is just a simple question of "self-identity", nothing to worry about. - Follow your heart! "

"That's right..."

"That's it."

Jiang Liu looked at him seriously: "So, Team Dagu, do you think you are a human or a giant?"

"Uh..." Dagu did not answer immediately. Instead, he pondered for a long time before raising his head with a determined look on his face.

"I am a human! But I am also a giant who stands on the side of humans! Because they are the ones I love!"

"It's not a standard answer, but it's also gratifying." Jiang Liu smiled.

"So, what about you?"

Da Gu looked directly at Jiang Liu and said word by word: "Where are you standing?"

"I?"

Jiang Liu slowly took off his helmet, revealing a handsome young face, with black pupils as deep and mysterious as the universe.

Ah, at this moment Da Gu finally understood...

Why did this officer wear a helmet from beginning to end and usually wear gloves, hardly exposing any inch of skin... Some people originally speculated that he had severe burns on his body and covered them up to avoid being seen.

But now Dagu understood that it was not because of the direct reason of disfigurement, but a more complicated reason.

Although the aura was very weak, as the heir of light, Da Gu could clearly sense how pure and terrifying the ominousness and darkness emanating from Jiang Liu was...

Ordinary monsters are simply incomparable. The super ancient species Golza and Melba may have the same attributes, but their "quality" is many times different!

This posture can definitely not be called——

"I'm human."

Jiang Liu said gently: "At least that's what I think."

"Sir, you..."

"Are you surprised? I look so handsome and young."

"Although I am indeed surprised, that is not the question!"

"What? Are you trying to say I'm not handsome?!"

"No, of course... He is handsome. Even as a man, I think you are quite handsome, sir. You are a very attractive person."

"Ah... sorry, I'm not that interested."

"What interest—Hey!"

"Haha, it was just a joke. Seeing you look so dumbfounded, I couldn't help but play a trick on you. Please forgive me. You know, I don't usually have the opportunity to talk to people like this."

Jiang Liu smiled carefreely and put his helmet back on, and the deep dark aura disappeared.

"You'll feel more comfortable this way."

"Hmm... much better..."

"Then continue, Team Daigu."

Jiang Liu asked: "Are you interested in my story?"

"If you're willing to say it..."

"Don't think I'm mysterious all the time. I'm actually an upright person. I really have nothing to hide. Basically, I can tell you anything."
