Having said that, Mai showed an awkward and lost smile on her face.

Akiyama Li shrugged and said, "Well, actually, you have saved me many times. It's just that you don't remember it, but I remember it clearly..."

"Eh?"

"Ha~ Those are all old memories... Tsk, I've been trapped in this cycle for too long... I'm tired of it... Mai, you've always thought that Odin was the culprit who trapped you in the cycle... But in fact, that's not the case."

Mai was shocked, and she quickly asked, "Since it's not Odin, then who is the culprit?"

"It's you, Maoi."

"Eh? Me!?"

Mai pointed at herself in confusion, feeling a little overwhelmed. She...she didn't do anything.

"Li...you are joking, right? I...I didn't come at that time, I...I didn't do anything..."

“No… you did, although that was many reincarnations ago… what you did was very simple, you just pulled me out of the abyss of the Samsara Society…”

"Many times... before reincarnation..."

"SO Ga, although it is just a simple matter, saving an ordinary girl who is unable to extricate herself from the abyss... but... if this girl has this card... then everything will become a little different..."

As she spoke, Akiyama Li took out a card box and pulled out a card...

Mai looked at the strange card with a clock icon in Akiyama Li's hand in surprise, and immediately thought of the super card that contained magical power and could reverse time and space. Time has come!

"The time is coming in your hands, Li!? Doesn't that mean that it's not Odin who reverses time and space? But... you?"

"Ah... yes, it was me who reversed time and space again and again... Mai... guess why I reversed time and space?"

"Why..." Mai was slightly stunned. Although she had always been slow, how could she not guess since Akiyama Li had already made it so clear?

"For me?"

"Yes... countless restarts, countless reincarnations, all for you, Mai, all for you to survive in this knight war. But fate seems to be unable to let you go, and makes you die again and again in this cruel knight war... So, the cause of this endless reincarnation is you, Mai."

Akiyama Li pointed at Mai with one hand, raised the card box with the other hand, and said: "But now, I'm tired of it. I'm tired of restarting again and again, tired of being endlessly played by fate.

In order to save you, I have completely imprisoned myself in this endless cycle, and now... I want to regain my freedom, and you are the sacrifice for my freedom. Mai... I am here to kill you."

As she spoke, Akiyama Li stuffed the card box in her hand into her belt.

"Henshin!"

Following the crisp sound of swords rubbing against each other, a series of blood-red shadows overlapped with Akiyama Li. Finally, a blood-red knight emitting a strange and ominous aura turned into a physical entity and stood in front of Mai.

Mai's mind was still bombarded with the truth that Akiyama Li had told her, but when she saw Li's transformation, she immediately came to her senses. After all, the threat of death was no joke.

Moreover, in addition to the malice that Akiyama Li was spreading towards her, Mai also found that the knight's body template she transformed into looked strangely familiar...

"Night... Night Rider?"

Akiyama Li chuckled, waved her hand and said contemptuously: "NONO~ I'm not that weak chicken Night Rider, my name is, Kamen Rider, Blood Rider!"

As she spoke, Akiyama Li drew out her Blood Summoning Sword and rushed towards Mai. Although Mai was a little uneasy at the moment, she was not the kind of person who would sit there and wait for death. She quickly rolled over to avoid Akiyama Li's attack and quickly completed the transformation.

Then, two knights, one bright red and the other blood red, fought with each other. Mai seized the opportunity and pushed hard against the window next to her, and both of them, including Akiyama Li, crossed into the mirror world.

For a moment, the alley fell into silence, leaving only the shadows of Mai and Akiyama Li fighting in the mirror.

"Tsk, it's really troublesome..."

Seeing the two of them enter the mirror world, Shinichi finally came out of his peeping at the show.

From her drastically changed personality to the repainted knight, it seems that Akiyama Li has been taken over by her dark side.

My dark side is still a fake, but Akiyama Li is the real blackened version.

However, this is just a small matter. The most important thing is the real reason for the cycle of knight wars. Ah... Although my previous speculation was roughly right, there was still a slight difference.

I thought that Akiyama Li was just a memory carrier like Takano in this reincarnation, but I didn't expect that she was the initiator of this reincarnation... No wonder, no wonder Odin did nothing. If I were Odin and couldn't beat the other knights when the activation time came, the first thing I would do would be to kick the knight who was in the way out of the game.

Looking at the fierce fight between Akiyama Li and Mai in the mirror, Shinichi thought for a moment, then transformed into Daiya and entered the mirror world.

However, he did not join the battle immediately, because the evil Akiyama Li was obviously a little too excited. If she talked a little more during the battle with Mai, she might reveal more information.

The evil Akiyama Ri is indeed just as Shinichi expected, with an extremely flamboyant personality. During the battle with Mai, she never stops talking, and all her shouting disrupts Mai's mind.

"Mai! So... please, give up resistance, okay? Just think of it as sacrificing yourself for me!"

Holding the dragon saber, Mai tried her best to stop Akiyama Li's attack and said through gritted teeth: "I... can't do this..."

Akiyama Li continued to intensify her offensive, constantly questioning: "Why! Mai, don't you understand? The real reason for this reincarnation is you! As long as you die, I will be completely free and no longer have the obsession of endless reincarnation!

So, why, why are you unwilling to die to break this cycle of reincarnation, Mai? Aren't you always ready to sacrifice for others? In your past reincarnations, you died again and again to save others, but when it comes to me, you are unwilling to die! ? "

Facing Akiyama Li's questioning, Mai's will faced a huge challenge. If... if what Akiyama Li said was true... if it was really because of herself that this endless cycle of reincarnation happened...

"bass!"

As Mai's will wavered, the saber in her hand was knocked away by Akiyama Li and fell not far away.

Mai looked at Akiyama Li who was pointing the sword at her and asked, "Li...if I die...will you really stop launching the reincarnation?"

"Yes... Only by killing you with my own hands can I completely let go of this obsession..."

"Then... I understand... suck... I am willing to do so. I am willing to die in order to end this cycle of reincarnation."

Akiyama Li looked at Mai and couldn't help but sigh: "Mai...you are such a hopeless idiot..."

But even though she was expressing her feelings, there was no mercy in the actions of Akiyama Li. With a wave of her hand, the Winged Summoning Sword in her hand was about to stab towards Mai!

"Final vent!"

Just when Akiyama Li was about to stab Mai to death, a final roar that pierced the sky resounded through the clouds, startling the two of them!

In an instant, the death tiger jumped out from the bushes again and knocked Akiyama Li to the ground.

"What!?"

Akiyama Li was shocked, but reacted quickly and realized that she was caught by Shinichi's transformed Da Ya. However, Da Ya's final arrival... those who understand will understand.

So, she immediately picked up the Winged Summoning Sword in her hand and poked the Death Tiger's eyes twice. Sure enough, the Death Tiger stopped moving forward in pain, covered its eyes and jumped to the side. Akiyama Li escaped danger easily.

Shinichi felt extremely calm as he watched himself miss his ultimate once again. As for Daiya's ultimate, he was able to calmly accept the outcome. Well, even though it was always a miss, it was at least a strong control, wasn't it?

Akiyama Li struggled to get up, looked at Da Ya who was standing not far from her, sneered and said, "Ha... Kadoya Shi... If you break the promise made by a girl like this, you will be alone in the future~"

Shinichi raised the claws in his hand and chuckled, "Ha, you don't have to worry about that. There are so many girls who like me. I don't have to worry at all. And... it wasn't me who broke the appointment first, but you."

At this time, Mai also rushed up and said, "Shijun! Why are you here?"

"Of course I came. This fake Akiyama Li gave me false information just to lure you out alone so that she could kill you. If it weren't for this guy's poor acting skills and the huge difference in speaking style, I would have almost been fooled."

"What!? Fake Akiyama Li!?"

Mai was confused again. What was going on? Was this Akiyama Li in front of her actually a fake? Then...did Li say those words just now...

Mai was completely confused. For a moment, she couldn't tell what was real and what was fake. However, what Akiyama Li said next made her even more confused.

"Ha~ What is true? What is false? How come I am not Akiyama Li? I come from the dark side of her heart and represent her deepest subconscious. Everything I say is the most secret and true thoughts in Akiyama Li's heart.

What's more, hum~ Among all the people present, Shijun, you seem to be the one who has the least right to say that I am fake, right? How long do you plan to use this big-toothed belt? Don't you feel bored pretending to be a caring big brother who enlightens girls in front of Mai all the time?

Although I have taken over Akiyama Li's body, every word I said was sincere, but you...how many truths have you said? The dark side of Mai, Kamen Rider... Decade! "

In response, Shinichi put his hands on his hips and said, "Ah? Decade? What decade? I'm not. I do have another belt, but my name is not Decade."

"……what?"

"You keep talking about decade, what does it have to do with my Dragon Fang?"

Chapter 131 I Choose to Believe

"You greeted Decade, what does it have to do with me, Longya?"

Shinichi made an extremely provocative gesture, coupled with that extremely cocky tone, looking at Akiyama Li's confused face. After realizing that she was fooled, she suddenly became furious and roared: "Kadoya Shi! You guys, take it seriously!

I don't care what your real name is! It doesn't matter if it's Decade or Dragon Fang! I have the evidence against you. After all, aren't you the same as me? It's just that you got lucky and got an independent entity!

Stop pretending to be a good person! We are beings born from the dark side, how can we have good intentions? You are still helping your original body do this and that, how long do you plan to continue this boring game of house? Don't you feel bored? "

Mai listened to Akiyama Li's words, and her eyes shifted to Shinichi. She took a few steps forward and asked, "Shi-kun...you are actually...you are actually my dark side? That Decade...no, Ryuga?"

Facing Mai's questioning, Shinichi just chuckled, took off the card box from his waist, and said to Mai: "Oh, I'm so sorry, Mai, I lied to you."

Hearing these words, Mai felt an inexplicable blockage in her throat, and a surge of stagnant air suddenly rose from her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe. Akiyama Li, who was tolerant and generous to her, was the initiator of reincarnation, and even struggled to kill herself deep in her heart...

The Kazuya Kadoya who gave him a place to live, delicious meals, and all kinds of help turned out to be the one who killed Kaiki, his dark side, the extremely flamboyant Decade.

And Quan Youxia, who works with him in the coffee shop, is secretly Odin's minion and accomplice, the behind-the-scenes manager of the Samsara Society, and the mastermind behind the Knight War!

She suddenly realized that her surroundings seemed to be full of lies. Everyone around her who was close to her wore a mask of friendliness, but behind it was another face that was extremely unfamiliar to her.

How many things do I still not know? How many lies, deceptions, and masks are there around me!?

Shinichi looked at Mai's chest rising and falling violently, feeling her emotional instability, and asked, "Mai, do you feel very painful? Almost all of your friends are deceiving you, as if you are living in a lie."

“Do you even need to ask? What the hell…what the hell is going on? Shijun, you are actually my dark side? Obviously…Shijun, you were so kind as to give me a place to stay, cook for me, help me, and enlighten me…I…I am really confused right now!”

As she spoke, Mai fell to her knees with her head in her hands, and she couldn't help but choke up with sobs. The feeling of being deceived by the person closest to her made her uncomfortable and suffocated!

Shinichi saw the girl's painful look and said, "Yes, Takahashi Mai, I have been lying to you. I am your dark side. The reason why I am willing to do so much for you is to see your desperate expression after you learn the truth~"

"Ah... Shi-kun... you..."

Seeing Shinichi respond like this, Mai's heart seemed to collapse, and the face behind the mask was about to burst into tears...

And Akiyama Li chuckled. As expected, behind this guy's pretentious mask, he had a character as bad and evil as her own!

However, after Shinichi finished speaking, he grinned and said in a funny way: "No way~"

"……what?"

"I haven't told you what I lied to you about before, right? I'm sorry, I lied to you, but actually... I'm not your dark side~"

Shinichi said, shrugging, pulling out Ryuga's card box from his pocket, and said with a smile: "I'm not your dark side, nor am I called Kadoya Shi, nor am I Kamen Rider Decade~"

When Mai heard what Shinichi said, she was confused by the sudden truth for a moment. The tears that had just flowed were forcibly suppressed. She stammered, "Then...then just now...you said...you wanted to see...see my desperate expression..."

"Well... I think it's quite funny, I just said it casually."

"what?"

Speaking of surprise, Mai was naturally extremely surprised, and Akiyama Li beside her was also shocked. She quickly asked: "Hey, hey, hey! Kadoya Shi! What's going on? You are not the dark side of Mai at all?! Then where are you from?"

"Ahem~ I told you, my name is not Kadoya Shi, my real name is... Takahashi Shinichi, and the name of the Kamen Rider I transformed into is, Ryuga Henshin!"

As he said that, Shinichi inserted the card box in his hand into his belt. After a series of strangely colored double images, a pitch-black knight emitting an ominous aura appeared.

Shinichi spread his hands and apologized to Mai, "I'm sorry, I just said that for fun, well, it was just a joke, even like the time I killed Kaiqi before, I'm not your dark side at all.

It’s just… I wanted to do something interesting at the time, so I just made up a dark side identity. As for the reason, it was just because I thought it was fun~”

"Just for fun!" Akiyama Li was stunned. How bad of a taste do you have to have to think of this kind of weird thing as fun! ?

Mai's mind was completely confused. She scratched her head and muttered, "Then... Shi-kun... oh no, Takahashi Shinichi... eh!? Your name and mine are similar?! If you're not my dark side, then who are you?"

"I'm just a Kamen Rider passing by~"

"what?"

Akiyama Li on the side couldn't stand it anymore. She swung the Blood Summoning Sword downwards and shouted viciously: "I don't care if you are Kadoya Shi or Takahashi Shinichi! If you keep playing tricks on me like this, I will kill you right now!"

"Oh~ Okay, okay, I said it was just a joke. Actually, I'm just an alien who traveled here by accident. You should know about parallel worlds, right? Then you can think of me as Takahashi Mai from a parallel world.

I am not the dark side of Mai, but just another her from a different world. My purpose in participating in the Knight War is very simple, which is to find a way home and figure out why I am here.

Don't worry, Zhenyi. Although I did lie to you in order to have a suitable identity and played a trick on you for fun, I have no ill will towards you. I am just curious about what kind of person I am in this parallel world of yours."

After hearing Shinichi's explanation, Mai's confused thoughts became a little clearer, but because of what Shinichi had done before, she couldn't help but ask, "Shi-kun... ahem, Shinichi-kun, you're not playing tricks on me again this time, are you?"

Shinichi was slightly stunned, then he smiled helplessly and said, "Uh~hahaha, don't worry, I'm really telling the truth this time. I don't care whether you believe it or not. Anyway, at worst, we'll just meet again in the future."

It seems that Mai has been deceived to the point of having PTSD, but Shinichi has no way to confirm this. Alas, this is the disadvantage of telling too many lies.

However, Mai smiled with relief after hearing this and said, "Really... That's good... Shinichi-kun, your bad taste is so abominable that I have been thinking about Decade at night these past few days! I thought... I thought there really was such a dark side in my heart..."

"Well~ I'm sorry, I'm sorry~ I'll make you a delicious meal as an apology when I get home tonight~"

"It's not enough! No matter how you think about it, it's not enough! I want... I want three meals!"

"OK OK~ Three meals is three meals~"

Akiyama Li looked at the two people reconciling in confusion, and couldn't help but question Mai: "Hey! Takahashi Mai, wake up! This man has lied to you so many times, and you actually believe him now?
