Living in Fengdu, starting from being adopted

If you didn't know, you would probably think you had traveled back to the last century, to a small town before industrialization and large-scale development.

"here it is?"

"Our world." (Minecraft)

Axue introduced it with a hint of intoxication: "This is [Lifengdu], an ideal country that belongs only to us, our utopia."

"And what's the price?"

Before this, Shi Nu had been wandering around the world for who knows how long, and had experienced countless things. She no longer believed in such things as pie falling from the sky.

In response, Axue said nothing, but led Shi Nu to the highest tower in the center of [Lifengdu].

It is also here that there is a mixed body with four wings on its back, one black and one white, with two baby angels kneeling on its shoulders respectively. Its head is as unfathomable as a black hole. It is here as an energy core, continuously releasing energy to the outside to maintain the existence of [Lifengdu].

After Shi Nu and A Xue arrived, the mixed body took the initiative to cancel its transformation and revealed its true appearance.

"forever?"

After seeing the familiar face clearly, Shi Nu couldn't help but make a surprised sound, even with a slight tremor.

Because the person who transformed into that doped body was none other than her youngest sister, Mandō Forever.

Seeing Yongyuan again, Tokiu couldn't help but have a complicated expression. On the one hand, she saw her little sister whom she hadn't seen for a long time and missed very much, but on the other hand, Yongyuan was a hybrid form of the Transformer, the core of [Urafuto], and...

"Are you also joining the X Foundation with Xue?"

"Yes."

Afterwards, the three siblings who had not seen each other for a long time had a big quarrel, and it was obvious that they had a serious disagreement on the matter of [Lifengdu].

The idea of ​​the idea king Axue is that since the X Foundation has a lot of money and stupid people, he will start a special project called "Lifengdu" and try to defraud research funds from the X Foundation as much as possible. In fact, he wants to build "Lifengdu" into his ideal country, a utopia.

The younger sister Yongyuan had no opinion of her own because Shi Nu had abandoned her younger siblings. So she could only listen to Axue's arrangements and work together to find a way to cheat some funds from the X Group and realize her brother's dream.

As for the time girl, it is even simpler.

"You guys should leave quickly!"

Seeing that her sister-in-law was so stubborn, Shi Nu felt a headache.

"Axue, didn't you say your lives were in danger? Now that I'm here, run with me."

"I'm afraid that's impossible. Rather, if we give up now, not only will all our efforts be wasted, but we might even be hunted to the ends of the earth by the enraged X Group, realizing they've been deceived."

Axue said with some regret:

"Sister, Kadoya is going to kill your brother and sister. Are you going to just stand by and watch?"

"Kadokuro of the Oono family!"

Kadoya who has done all kinds of bad things, is the little devil who saves people from suffering!

——————————————————————————————————————

Sango Tokijo: The uno-like Kadoya!

"The story begins half a year ago. First, I would like to introduce my partner, Chiba Hideo."

"Hello, big sister."

Like Sougo and Hiryu, Hideo, who looks like a child, has a calmness on his face that does not belong to his age group. There are even deep frown lines on his face, making him look like an old and mature person.

In fact, Hideo is very interested in Tokionome, a beautiful girl, but in front of his partner Mandō, he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, and basically maintains his original indifferent expression from beginning to end.

"What's going on? What does this have to do with Kadoya-san, Axue, and Towa?"

If she doesn't understand the whole story, Shi Nu will not take any action no matter what.

And Axue also understood her sister's temper, so she gave Hideo a few glances, and the latter nodded and said reluctantly.

"Six months ago, I was conducting experiments testing road impurities. I failed to keep a close eye on my subordinates, and one of them attacked the X Group's envoy."

"Attack on the X Group's messenger?"

Although she was not clear about the specific situation, even just reading the literal meaning made Shi Nu feel her scalp tingling, and at the same time a terrible idea appeared in her mind.

"Could it be that the messenger is Kadoya Shi?"

"Yes."

Nodding, Hideo admitted it. After all, at this point, when disaster was imminent, there was no need to hide it any longer.

"According to that unfortunate fellow, Kadoya Shi somehow disguised himself as a child and deliberately led the child to attack him. As for the result, of course, Kadoya Shi easily defeated him."

"..."

For a moment, Toki didn't know whether she should say that Kadoya was despicable or that Hideo was not strict enough in managing his subordinates, but when she was sorting out the information, she suddenly discovered a problem.

"Wait, your men actually attacked children?"

"That was an accident."

Not wanting to dwell on this issue too much, Hideo continued, "According to our informant in the X-Financial Group, Kadoya is the product of a project within the X-Financial Group called Kamen Rider Slayer."

"[Kamen Rider Slayer]?"

"Yes. According to rumors circulating in the city, the predecessor of the X Foundation has suffered heavy losses at the hands of Kamen Rider many times. In order to target those cyborgs who wave the banner of justice, the X Foundation launched the "Kamen Rider Killer" plan specifically for them."

"Unfortunately, even our informants can only investigate so far, because the plan of [Kamen Rider Slayer] is kept so secret that not even a single photo of Kadoya Kadoya remains."

"But according to some rumors, because Kadoya Kadoya has undergone special body modifications, even if you use a camera to photograph his appearance, the final result will only be a blurry image. This is to maintain confidentiality."

"so what?"

After listening to Hideo's explanation, Toki still couldn't understand the reason.

"But the person in charge of Kadoya's project is Koei Jiro, and Koei Jiro is an old acquaintance of Guard Sonosaki Ryu."

"..."

Okay, now I understand.

"So, Kadoya wasn't sent to Fuuto for no reason, but was sent here to help Sonosaki Ryu's guards at the behest of Koeijiro. Aren't we supposed to be allies? Why are we killing each other?"

"That's probably it. As for the latter question, I'm more inclined to believe it's the X Foundation's actual testing of various experimental projects."

Hideo continued his analysis calmly, but his voice gave Tokime a chill.

"What do you mean by combat test?"

"literal meaning."

Hideo took out a thick stack of information and threw it on the table. When Toki picked it up, she saw that it was densely covered with a large number of related experimental projects.

Including but not limited to "never used for undead warrior research", "core coins beyond time and space", "astronomical switches that can control cosmic energy", "locked species of alien plants", and even "strange aliens", etc., which are words that make people's scalp tingle just by looking at them.

"Because the X Foundation has invested in so many projects, sometimes even they can't count them all. But since they've invested, the people above them want to see the experimental results. And the best way to demonstrate these results is naturally..."

"Actual combat."

Although she didn't want to face it, as an orphan who grew up in war, Shi Nu still bit her lip and said the words she least wanted to face.

"I have also asked the informant in detail about Kadoya Shi, but for someone at his level, knowing the names of Kadoya Shi and Koei Jiro is already the limit."

"So, not only will the X Foundation not stop our upcoming conflict with the Museum, they might even actively promote it. It's all my fault for not keeping a tight rein on my subordinates, allowing that despicable Kadoya Kadoya to take advantage of me."

"According to information we received from our informant at the [Museum], the [Museum] has been concentrating its manpower recently, seemingly planning a major event. If nothing unexpected happens, it's targeting us."

"..."

"I, I need to calm down."

Shi Nu stumbled towards the door. Even she probably didn't expect that her younger brother and sister would fall into such a deep whirlpool, and they would be in danger of death whether they moved forward or backward.

If he retreats, he will be hunted down by the X Consortium as a traitor and a liar for the rest of his life;

Go ahead and fight Kamen Rider Slayer Kadoya and the entire museum to the bitter end, but you may not win.

It's a desperate situation.

"Kadokuro of the Oono family!"

When she thought of this, Shi Nu couldn't help but curse.

In her opinion, the troublemaker Kazuya Kamen Rider was a pure shit stirrer. Classic shit doesn't stink, but after being stirred by a shit stirrer, it becomes very smelly.

If it weren't for Kadoya Takashi's help in providing information and even catching Hideo's men, it is estimated that Xue and Yongyuan would still be able to continue hiding safely in [Urafuto] and defraud the X Foundation's funds.

X Foundation: 6!

Now, I am forced to a crossroads. No matter which choice I make, it is extremely dangerous, like walking on a tightrope with sweaty feet.

"Kadokuro of the Oono family!"

He cursed again.

Just like that, Toki left the room cursing, while Hideo cast a questioning look at Axue, as if asking: [Boss, what should we do next?]

"Continue to accumulate strength and prepare for the full-scale conflict that could break out at any time."

Even if Shi Nu doesn't choose to help her, Axue will still fight for her dream.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Museum will launch a full-scale attack within a week. Whether it's Kadoya, the Ryu guards, or any other member of the Museum's cadre, we can't afford to be careless or negligent."

"Yes."

——————————————————————————————————————

Sanroku Sougo: Terui Ryu, can you do it?

"Taizao, Taizao."

After parting with Saeko, Sougo went to the [Narumi Detective Agency] first to confirm that Feiliu was fine, and the arrival of the director Akiko ensured that the plot would still follow the original direction of the TV series. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he went to the million-dollar casino...

Old site.

"Is it still the same as the original TV plot? I was unlucky enough to run into Shotarou and the others a long time ago, and then I just donated it? What a pity."

It’s a pity that I lost a way to make extra money.

"I've already persuaded Taizou to take over the Sonosaki family's power, clean up the mess, get a business license, and absolutely stop using the power of memory to turn human lives into coins. This guy..."

As long as the memory is not used, no matter how much Shotaro says, he will not be able to do anything to Taizo, because in this small life, usury and casinos are legal businesses.

Just like Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya, they are all addicted to pornography, gambling, and drugs.

"I originally wanted to keep Taizo by my side as a person similar to Woz, but now it seems that even the requirement to use memory cannot be met."

"It's true that once a gambler, always a gambler. Someone who always has a gambling mentality is not worth keeping around."

"But..."

"Then again, we could wait until he's released from prison and bring him back to run the casino. Taizou didn't actually harm anyone with his memory, and those coins that absorbed life should have been returned by Shotarou. I guess his sentence will be short."

"Yeah! It's decided! After he gets out of prison, let him run a casino for the rest of his life. He seems to like gambling anyway."

“Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding—”

While walking on the road, talking to himself, Sougo's cell phone suddenly rang. It was a text message from Feiliu.

For the past six months, Feiliu has been following his request. Whenever Shotaro was investigating a case, he would proactively send the names of the relevant clients and the name of the case as Shotaro called it to Sougo in the form of text messages.

However, as time went by, perhaps because Feiliu grew older and understood more and more the kindness of Sougo sending money every month, the content of the text messages he sent became more and more frequent.

At the beginning, it was just the name of the case and the name of the client. Later, it was the name of the memory in the case. Finally, it would even give a simple description of the case handling process and add its own insights.

"Do you treat this as a file or a diary?"

Scrolling through the text messages one by one from the very beginning, Sougo could not only see Feiliu's complaints about the director, Akiko, but also that her behavior was too exaggerated and she acted more like a child than Feiliu.

In addition, there are Feiliu's insights into those memory cases.

For example, in the Million-Dollar Casino case, Yuko's parents asked Shotaro to stop Yuko, but Yuko refused to listen and even borrowed foreign debt to gamble, causing her family to fall into pain.

"I really can't understand what kind of person would watch their parents suffer while their mind is filled with only their own thoughts and their own enjoyment."
