Is there anyone who really wants to be a partner of justice?

"That's all!" After careful consideration, the arbitrator chose to surrender to Shinichi.

"Hmm? Have you thought about it?" Shinichi raised his eyebrows and asked the judge with a smile.

"...I've thought about it...I can selectively reveal to you the inside story of the Knight War, and in return, I hope you can withdraw from the Knight War and not get involved. Everything we do is for the survival of mankind. I don't want your nonsense to push the world to destruction."

Zhenyi tilted his head and said, hiss... What kind of rhetoric... How dare this kid PUA me?

Shinichi slapped the judge in the face with his backhand, causing the judge's head to buzz.

"How do you talk to me, your father? You are putting a big hat on my head. I advise you not to use this kind of moral kidnapping to threaten me, otherwise I will be unhappy and will not do what you say.

After all, I am an outsider. Whether the world here is destroyed or not is none of my business. Since everything you do is for the continuation of mankind, then you should speak to me nicely. You don’t want to irritate me by speaking badly and then push the world to destruction, right? "

Shinichi didn't tolerate the Arbiter at all. He retorted by imitating his previous rhetoric to do a reverse PUA. What a joke. He is trying to use moral kidnapping on an immoral anti-knight like me. I wonder if the last person who did this was kicked out by me?

This wave of counter-threats from Shinichi directly silenced the Arbiter. It was the first time he encountered an opponent who did not play by the rules, and judging from this guy's behavior, it seemed that he really dared to do so!

So, after being slapped, the Arbitrator immediately became obedient and stopped talking about irrelevant things. Instead, he honestly provided some information to Shinichi.

“I can tell you about my origins and the origin of the Knight War, but I absolutely cannot reveal some of the core information that determines the normal operation of the Knight War. I don’t even know some of it.

For example, the core of the mirror world you wanted to ask about before is information that I don't know either. Its location has always been controlled by Odin, and it changes all the time. Even if you really kill me, I can't answer it. "

Shinichi didn't know if this guy was lying or not, but judging from the attitude of the Judge, it was unlikely that he was lying. Besides, the information about the core of the mirror world was what Takano wanted, and it was not too important to him, so he nodded and said, "Well... OK, I'll trust you for now, then tell me all the news you can."

With Shinichi's consent, the judge began to narrate the history of the entire Knight War.

This history surprised Shinichi greatly, because the knight war in this world was not related to the telecommunications fraud that was concocted by the sister-loving demon Kanzaki Shirou himself in the original work, but a failed ritual that spanned nearly a hundred years.

The history of the Knight Wars in this world can be traced back to the World War II period in this world. It was 1943, and with the defeat at Midway, the Japanese military gradually fell into an irreversible decline in the Pacific battlefield, the Chinese theater, and the Southeast Asian theater.

At this time of internal and external troubles, the Japanese government came up with the same idea as Sandeko, which was to use the ultimate weapon of mass destruction to launch a powerful attack to turn the tide of the war.

San Dezi chose physics, so there was a competition with the Americans over the development of the atomic bomb. As for the Japanese, whose thinking patterns have always been unique... they chose metaphysics.

With metaphysics as the goal, the research direction that was finally selected by the Japanese government with its unique thinking circuits was the mirror world. This thing that was extremely unreliable no matter how you thought about it, actually made them produce results!

And the final result is the Knight System.

However, as the first knight born, he is neither Odin who can turn the world around and reverse time, nor the absolute protagonist knight Dragon Knight.

But it was the judge who was being strangled by Shinichi at the moment.

At that time, this belt was not called Arbiter, but was called Decider No. 0.

Chapter 104: The Fourth Knight War

Shinichi never thought that his digging into the history of knights would lead him all the way to World War II in the last century. When he heard that the knight system was originally designed to be used as a weapon to assist the Japanese militarist government in the war of aggression, he couldn't help but frown.

"You mean to say that Kamen Rider was originally used as a man-made weapon to assist in wars of aggression?"

"...That was indeed the purpose, but the Knight System was not adopted by the Japanese Conquest. After all, the cost of the Knight System was quite high at the time. The Japanese Conquest wanted a cheaper combat power.

So... as a substitute for the Knight System, we created Mirror Beasts through the Mirror World, which are cheaper and more dangerous. Our idea is to use the Mirror World to send Mirror Beasts directly behind enemy lines, or even directly to the command headquarters behind enemy lines.

Because of the concealment of the mirror world, we can quietly transport a large number of mirror beasts to invade the enemy's rear, so that we can win the war without bloodshed."

Listening to the judge's story, Shinichi took a look at his embarrassed appearance at the moment, sneered and said sarcastically: "... Well, the idea is good, but generally speaking, at this time, if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will happen~"

Facing Shinichi's ridicule, the Arbitrator was silent for a moment, and then recounted the unexpected accident, the major event that brought warmth to Tokyo and made the people of Tokyo become acquaintances.

The 1945 Tokyo bombing was nicknamed "Lee Mei BBQ" by many netizens.

As expected, the fire from the bombing fell on the research base that was built in Tokyo at the time. Not to mention the casualties at the research base, the fire caused an accident in the mirror world experiment that was being conducted at the time.

Most of the designed mirror beasts completely lost control and turned from man-made weapons into man-eating beasts wandering aimlessly in the mirror world. What is even more terrifying than the mirror beasts losing control is that the barrier between the mirror world and the real world has become blurred.

The two worlds that were originally in two parallel lines produced irreversible effects after this failed experiment. The two worlds began to intersect, causing the mirror beasts that had been staying obediently in the mirror world to travel through the mirror into the real world.

Moreover, as time goes by, there will be more and more such intersections, and the final result will be the invasion of the mirror world into the real world! At that time, the out-of-control mirror beasts will invade the real world in large numbers, turning the entire Tokyo and even Japan into a purgatory.

In order to avoid this situation, the Kamen Rider plan, which had been shelved, was once again put on the agenda, but this time, its purpose was not for war, but to remedy the terrible consequences of this militaristic madness.

Using the technology of the Decider Zero as the blueprint and the remaining controllable mirror beasts in the research institute, the researchers worked day and night to create the second generation of Kamen Rider and the Mirror World Stabilization Device. They started a knight war with the out-of-control mirror beasts in the Mirror World for more than a month.

Finally, he stabilized the mirror world before it got out of control.

However, this stability comes at a price. The Mirror World Stabilization Device cannot be installed and left alone. Someone must watch over the stabilization device day and night.

After some discussion, the director of the research bureau finally chose to take on this task, and the knight he transformed into was Kamen Rider Odin.

While the research institute was trying to stabilize the mirror world within the deadline, on the other side, the little boy ran to Hiroshima to play, bringing unparalleled enthusiasm to the people of Hiroshima. Then the fat man followed suit and went for a stroll in Nagasaki.

In the end, the Japanese people were moved by the enthusiasm brought by these two cute little guys and signed the armistice agreement with tears in their eyes.

The surrender of the Japanese government made the research on the mirror world lose its original meaning, but soon, the value brought by this research made the United States envious, so they immediately put pressure on the Japanese government and demanded that they hand over the relevant technology.

The Japanese government directly demonstrated its traditional skills, quickly knelt down and called the US father-in-law, and was ready to hand over the relevant research to the United States.

However, after experiencing the crisis brought about by the near collapse of the mirror world, all researchers understood what terrible consequences this technology would eventually bring.

Therefore, the researchers who participated in the Mirror World War, led by the director of the Research Bureau, decided to take all the research materials to the Mirror World and destroy them to ensure that these technologies would never fall into the hands of the Americans.

The result was that the Americans, who had come up empty-handed, were so angry that they arrested all the researchers they could and issued a wanted order for the director of the research bureau.

However, the wanted order was of no use, because the director had already transformed into Odin and stayed in the mirror world and never came out again. To the outside world, he was a person who had completely disappeared and did not exist.

Logically, the story should end here, but obviously, the influence of the mirror world cannot be dealt with so easily.

Because even if the director is determined and can guard the mirror world for decades, as a human being he also has his limits, and the biggest limitation is his lifespan.

Only twenty years after the end of the First Knight War, the director felt that his energy was not as good as before. Being alone in the mirror world for twenty years made his character more and more extremely paranoid. He was unwilling to hand over this responsibility to anyone else.

On the other hand, the mirror world's stabilization device also requires life energy for maintenance. Otherwise, twenty-five years will be the limit of the stabilization device. By that time, the mirror world will once again fall out of control.

I am unwilling to hand over this responsibility to others. The only way is to continue to survive at my peak and collect life energy to maintain the stabilization device.

With this idea in mind, the director used the remaining card boxes to design the initial prototype of the Knight War, using the wish fulfillment as a scam to induce others to participate in the Knight War.

And in the process, the life energy of every knight who was defeated and killed would be collected by the director and become the nourishment for his continued survival and maintenance of the stabilization device. At the cost of the lives of twelve knights, the world would be stabilized for twenty-five years. The director implemented this plan without any hesitation.

Thus, in 1970, the Second Knight War began. Many unexpected events occurred during this war, and the director's plan almost went awry.

After this knight battle, the director changed his mind. After all, fighting alone was a bit risky.

In order to ensure a more secure victory, they created survival cards and time advent. They used survival cards as rewards to motivate participants to fight harder, and used time advent as a trump card to ensure that the final outcome of the war was absolutely under their control.

At the same time, the Arbitrator was also created during this period. After all, it was impossible for the director to observe every aspect of the war at all times, so the Arbitrator, an intelligent program, was created.

In order to make the participating knights more controllable, the director, while controlling the battle situation in the mirror world, also began to actively develop forces outside the mirror world, and the Samsara Society came into being.

The Samsara Society has only one purpose, and that is to select the participants in the Knight War whom the Director deems suitable. This is why almost every knight has a close connection with the Samsara Society.

In order to ensure the normal operation of this human force, the director chose to find allies. He took the initiative to contact a human from the real world and gave him eternal life in exchange for his assistance in managing the Reincarnation Association.

Since then, the overt and covert forces of the entire Knight War have been completely formed. Under this set of operations, in the third Knight War in 1995, under this series of manipulations, Odin undisputedly won the final victory.

And now this time, it is the fourth knight war.

Chapter 105: Night Rider Killed Dragon Rider! ?

As the Arbiter explained the whole story of the Knight War, Shinichi finally understood that there was such an unknown history behind the Knight War in this world. This situation was much more complicated than that of a certain sister-supporting maniac.

In order to protect the world, one person has been watching over the world for decades. Wow, how touching, what an unwavering golden spirit~ Shinichi is so moved that he almost cries after hearing this... No wonder~

Touched? Touched at all. Anyway, after listening to the whole story from beginning to end, there was only one word that could come to mind for what Odin did... He deserves it.

They are just a bunch of psychopaths who have been influenced by militarism. Even though they have saved humanity, it does not prevent them from being a bunch of idiots. As for Odin, he is worthy of being the leader of a bunch of psychopaths. His degree of paranoia is evident.

Anyway, after listening to the arbitrator's story, Shinichi felt nothing in his heart and even wanted to laugh.

"Alas... in the end, isn't it all your fault? If you hadn't insisted on invading and making weapons of mass destruction, would you have ended up like this? It's all your own fault."

Shinichi curled his lips in contempt and kicked the Judge over. Although he was a little bit stronger than Kanzaki Shirou in terms of the pattern of fighting a knight war to save the world, the cause of the whole incident was not as good as that of Kanzaki Shirou, the girl-supporting maniac.

After Shinichi kicked the Judge over, he took a look and felt unhappy with the kick he just gave him. He raised his leg and kicked him a few more times before squatting down and asking the Judge, "In that case, can I ask what is the name of Odin's transformer?"

"I have no comment on this. This is a top secret and I absolutely cannot tell you."

"Ah~Okay, then can I ask again, who is the human that Odin has allied with the present world, the mastermind behind the Samsara Society?"

"... I can't answer this question either, because I'm not very clear about it myself. That person's identity has been changing over the years, and only Odin has kept in touch with him. I don't have the authority to contact him."

Seeing that the judge didn't answer any of the questions, Shinichi couldn't help but frowned, grabbed the judge's tentacles and plucked them, cursing: "How come all of you intelligent programs don't know anything? You are useless except for pretending to be a god in front of ordinary people? I gave you the chance but you are useless~"

After Shinichi grabbed the judge's head several times, he stood up speechlessly, stepped on the judge again with his foot, and asked, "Then pick out some more things you can tell me and tell me. Don't tell me that you have no right to know anything else except the history, right?"

"...I can tell you about the last Knight War..."

"Ah?" Shinichi was stunned and asked, "Is it related to this class?"

“…There is basically no connection.”

"You can't tell me anything about this class if there is no contact!"

The Judge shrank back and responded timidly: "...I can tell you the identities of each knight..."

"...Hey~" Shinichi laughed out loud, leaning over and asking, "Who the hell are participating in this knight class? Do I need you to tell me?!"

The judge said stubbornly: "...Your personal investigation may lead to misjudgment. After all, it is normal not to recognize people with masks on. I am different. My list is officially certified..."

Shinichi kicked him again and cursed, "Stop teasing me! Tell me some valuable news!"

"…Thirty-three days…"

"Ah? What thirty-three days?"

"The deadline for the Knight War... there are still thirty-three days left. The Director has set a limit of one hundred days for the Knight War. Currently, this Knight War has lasted for sixty-seven days, and there are still thirty-three days left."

"We're already halfway through? But only three knights have died..."

"No...it's four..." the adjudicator corrected.

"Hmm? Four?" Shinichi frowned and asked, "Blade, Yao Cui, Kai Qi, besides these three, who else died?"

"The Antelope King was killed by the King Snake not long ago..."

Shinichi couldn't help but recall the first time he witnessed the battle between knights here, when the little transparent person who was paddling along and letting the contracted beast steal the knife said: "Antelope King? Why did the king snake want to kill the Antelope King?"

"Because Antelope King is a member of the Samsara Society and had contact with King Snake before he transformed into a knight. King Snake has always been very hostile to him. I valued this point and made these two people knights. Only when the contradictions between people are big enough will they be motivated to fight."

Oh~ adding fuel to the fire, right? Shinichi immediately understood the purpose of the Arbiter's selection. Odin's goal was to make the knights fight each other until the last one standing. Therefore, the closer the relationship between the selected knights and the greater the conflict, the better, because in this way, they would have the motivation to fight each other until the last one standing.

Obviously, King Snake was the catfish specially selected by Odin and the Arbiter to stir up the school of sardines. In the entire knight war, this man was the knight who had the most and most obvious conflicts with other knights.

After the King Snake wiped out all of its enemies, it was completely trapped in the cycle of fighting in the knight war, unable to escape. All it could do was continue to fight and kill. In the end, it would either die in the process, fulfilling its role as a catfish, or become the last knight and face Odin...

The role of former Daiga Ken Tojo is the same. This guy's bellicosity also makes him an excellent catfish. This also explains why Ken Tojo, who lost once, was able to win the Kaiki belt again and continue fighting. However, in the process, he was killed by Shinichi, an outsider.

What a good plan, he calculated the two tools, King Snake and Tojo Ken, to death.

However, this also made Shinichi confused, because according to Odin's plan, this knight war was originally born for the purpose of fighting, but Mai, an alternative, popped out and advocated love and peace.

So, Shinichi asked, "Hiss... I understand King Snake and Kaiqi, but what about Dragonqi? How did Takahashi Mai, a saint with a heart full of love and peace, jump into this knight battle? Her personality is totally incompatible with your knight battle."

"This was an accident. Takahashi Mai accidentally inherited the mantle of the previous Dragon Rider and became a knight. At the beginning, we decided on the previous Dragon Rider as our candidate, but he was accidentally killed by Night Rider. However, this has little impact. On the contrary, it just happens that we have one more person's life energy..."

"Wait!" Shinichi suddenly heard something that surprised him and asked, "What did you just say?"

"…It won't make much difference… One more serving…"

"Not this sentence, the previous sentence."

"The previous Dragon Rider was killed by the Night Rider..."

"Are you sure!?" Shinichi immediately came close to the decider and asked seriously.

"I am sure that basically all the knights' battles were under my surveillance. The former Dragon Knight was truly killed by the Night Knight."

Shinichi couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then he remembered that in the entire knight war, there were only three people with blue tones, Daiya, Fuchiki, and Yaki. When facing Daiya, Mai had no hostility, and when facing Fuchiki, Mai didn't show any hostility either...

So after killing the previous dragon rider, wouldn't that mean only the night rider would be left?

Oh my god! Night Rider really killed Dragon Rider!

Shinichi couldn't help but ask his own doubts: "Why did Night Rider kill the previous Dragon Rider!?"

The judge shook his head and responded, "I don't know. During the entire Knight War, Night Knight was only hostile to two people. One was the former Dragon Knight, and the other was Odin. I have investigated her background. Logically, she should have no relationship with the former Dragon Knight. It is possible that this was a pure passion killing."

"Background? Great, tell me, who is Night Rider?"

"Um... didn't you say that I didn't need to give you the identities of the knights?"

Veins suddenly popped out on Shinichi's forehead behind the mask, and he twitched his mouth and laughed viciously: "...Haha, you are so obedient~ I told you to die, are you also obedient~ Of course I can find out if I want to! But I can get the information ready, why should I check it myself! Don't you understand!?"
