I, Madoka Kaname, am just a Kamen Rider passing by

It's something that can be solved with a USB flash drive.

PS: I will be able to finish writing this volume next month. It’s mainly because I laid a lot of groundwork in the early stages and added a lot of elements… Well, I can’t just end this volume badly… After all, the famous scenes haven’t come out yet OvO

Chapter 160 Is this also part of your calculation, Tanya?

That night.

Through the window, the vehicles passing by on the street and the ordinary office workers who were drunk on the roadside came into Kuang San's eyes. She looked around, confirmed with her own eyes that there was nothing unusual, and then closed the curtains.

In fact, at this moment, there are dozens of "her" with the same face as Kurumi and wearing blood-red dresses, monitoring anything that may approach here.

If any suspicious person appears, they will immediately issue a warning. If the person does not heed the warning, the invader will be bombarded with a barrage of bullets.

Because she was doing something very important.

Using more cautious force than usual when petting a cat, Kuang San carefully picked up the thin object on the table.

——A pink 3.5-inch floppy disk.

With a capacity of only 1.44MB, in this era when USB flash drives of dozens of GB are very cheap, this thing is nothing more than useless and obsolete electronic waste, and should be thrown into the landfill for disposal.

Apart from the fact that some collectors and museums may have preserved a few as specimens, these, like pipes, are things of the past that should have been buried in the long river of history.

But it is precisely this kind of thing that symbolizes the opening of a new era.

At least for Kuang San, this thing has such important meaning.

It contains the truth that Kurumi has spent nearly twenty years searching for. When she meets "Tanya" at the designated location tomorrow, she will remove the veil that has been covering the Origin Spirit.

"My dear friends, and those who died in the spacequake... I will change your fate."

The most vicious and evil elf in name, Tokisaki Kurumi.

She deeply loves this world and sincerely hopes that everyone can be happy. Even if it means having her hands stained with blood and sin, she will never back down. From the day when that girl passed away and learned about "refining" and was betrayed by the "partner of justice", Kurumi's life no longer belonged to her.

In a sense, she is similar to Emiya Kiritsugu, but also different, because if Kurumi's plan succeeds, everyone she shoots can be resurrected, but she will not deny her evil.

Just shoot and kill, there is nothing to say. She will not feel guilty or hesitate about it anyway. The only thing Kuang San can do now is to stride forward into the future.

Killing one person can save ten people, killing a hundred people can save ten thousand people.

Putting the floppy disk into the computer, Kurumi sighed deeply.

To be honest, she didn't trust Tanya. The woman whose voice was like a blooming rose had a tiger in her heart, at least that's what Kurumi thought.

"But I have no choice. As long as I can change history..." She can muster up the courage even if she is walking with the devil.

With this thought in mind, Kuang San put the floppy disk into the computer.

Inorganic cold codes flashed across the old screen, the roar of the antique computer running rang out in the small apartment room, and the retro style of the last century, set off by the modern and technological furnishings in the room, made Kuang San feel a sense of time and space confusion.

Especially the bulky and heavy feeling, which is in stark contrast to the small and convenient laptop placed next to it. Although it is well maintained, it is undeniable that this machine that Kurumi used her money power to "bring home" from the second-hand shop is an antique.

It feels like going back in time.

That moment in the summer of 1994, when he fought against the scorching fire monster and held the body of his friend.

But the time now is 2017 in the twenty-first century.

The facts of the past have been engraved in history, but Kurumi still has a chance to redeem herself by using her strongest angel, Kekeketei, who manipulates the power of time.

As the floppy disk was read, the green characters were reflected in Kurumi's scarlet eyes.

Late at night, twelve o'clock, Tiangong City, the top of the new Tiangong Tower.

Only Kurumi can come alone.

Tanya’s meaning was very simple, to prohibit Kurumi’s clone from coming.

"The Heavenly Palace Tower?"

It is a landmark building in Tiangong City, and its top overlooks the scenery of the entire Tiangong City. When Kuang San opens the curtains of the apartment where she lives, she can just see the tower.

Is this part of your plan, Tanya?

Staring suspiciously at the high tower shrouded in the night, a faint light flickered in Kuang San's scarlet eyes, and the clone hidden in the shadows seemed to understand her thoughts. At the same time, more than a dozen "Kuang San" set out on the road to the Tiangong Tower, preparing to give the entire tower a thorough inspection.

But if you think about it carefully, the other party is an elf who has reached a consensus with the elf Honjo Nia, who has the ability to predict the future and know the past, so it is natural for him to know where Kurumi lives. There is no need to panic.

And she is so cautious. What is she afraid of? Is she afraid that Kuang San will eat her?

If what Tanya said was true, Kurumi wouldn't mind working with her.

But Kuang San always felt that Tanya had concealed a crucial point, but the premonition lingering in her heart could not be shaken off or summoned.

What on earth is that guy planning?

……

"Ah ha? We're going to meet Tokisaki Kurumi at the Tengu Tower late tomorrow night. I'm so sleepy! Why did you choose such a quiet time like late at night?"

Holding a pillow with a paper-man husband printed on it, the good-for-nothing Erya stayed in bed and protested against her unscrupulous boss.

The pink-haired girl, who had turned back into her original form, just had dead eyes and crossed her fingers under her chin, as if she was thinking about something. It was not until Erya complained that she turned her gaze over.

"Well, you said it too, it's late at night and everyone is asleep... Nonsense, of course I chose a time when there won't be outsiders barging in."

Although he had originally thought about meeting Kuang San facing the sunset, Li Lin gave up the idea after considering that the tourists had not been completely dispersed from the Tiangong Tower at that time.

"Besides, Erya, you don't really sleep well, do you? You're a cultivator who goes to bed late and wakes up late, and can hardly get up even when going out for an outing. How dare you tell me you're sleepy? You're worthy of being called the good-for-nothing Erya."

"...Okay! I get it! It's late at night, so I won't play with the leader anymore."

As if noticing some of the words in Erya's words, the pink-haired dumpling frowned immediately. Erya, noticing the change in the pink-haired dumpling's eyes, proudly patted the non-existent front armor and said.

"Of course, it's the network that the angels are connected to. As long as you draw the content with a pen, anything that's not too exaggerated can be realized."

Don't waste these precious angels, which only exist in fourteen of them in the world, on such meaningless things!

Chapter 161: The Future Legacy Given to "Myself"

Under the illumination of incandescent light, the small and exquisite "black hole" painted USB flash drive gleams with a metallic texture, but when holding it in the hand, it does not feel heavy at all, but rather surprisingly light.

However, the secret contained therein was soon discovered by Li Lin.

It's not some kind of display device or a special device commissioned by Homura Akemi to create that contains the black technology of the world of knights.

That's just the effect achieved with metallic paint. In essence, this thing is just like the ordinary USB flash drives that can be found everywhere in electronics streets, or they are sold wholesale at a discount.

A total bargain.

However, this stupidity and unnecessary use of energy, as well as the extremely clumsy repainting upon closer inspection, were indeed her work, and were deliberately done to create a rough impression and effect.

"Um..."

The girl's hesitant moan came out of her throat. She gently held her chin with one hand, while playing with the USB flash drive with the other, not knowing what to do.

Bad end

Since this USB flash drive appeared in front of him, it must mean that the future Li Lin failed, she failed to defeat Tohmiya Mio and win the final victory, or anyone died during the battle.

After all, her goal is for everyone to go home with a smile on their face.

What's more, she chose to collect the power of all the elves and use it as the cornerstone to pave the stairs to reach the top of the Kabbalah Tree of Life and rebel against the existing history of the world.

Moreover, Li Lin has made many assumptions about the reversibility of world history, including the famous theory in the ACG world, but so far she has not been able to figure out what the inevitable ending of this battle world is?

What Li Lin cares about even more is the message left by his future self in a certain final outcome.

Sitting alone on the bed in the basement, Li Lin whispered back the words that her future self had asked Kuang San to convey: "I think the most important thing is the 'will to move towards the truth'. As long as there is that will to move towards the truth in your heart, then even if you fail this time, you will definitely arrive one day because you have been moving towards the truth."

Although Li Lin often did unnecessary things on a whim throughout her life, she never acted perfunctorily or recklessly when making decisions on major matters.

So, what exactly is the "reality" that you are pursuing, my future self?

The truth of everything lies in this small USB flash drive.

No, this is no longer an object called a USB flash drive.

This thing that gradually changes from black and white to silver is the most crucial key to reaching The End.

Although it is unknown how many times she has repeated the reincarnation after leaving this thing behind, Li Lin has no intention of making wedding dresses for her.

There is no need to hesitate, and there is no need to hesitate, because she will never lose!

"Look at me clearing the level with one life, you bastard Takamiya Mio!"

Now that she has made up her mind, she should use her momentum to see what kind of gift her future self will leave for her.

Without any confusion, Li Lin took a deep breath, then decisively inserted the USB drive into the computer, and opened the only file in the USB drive with a serious look.

"Huh... There's no password. This guy really trusts Kuang San. Isn't she really afraid that Kuang San will secretly read the contents?"

However, right after Li Lin opened the folder, her excitement instantly disappeared, just like being told the flight was delayed while waiting at the airport, and finally waiting for an unlucky four hours, only to get on the plane and encounter an air crash and make an emergency landing on the sea. One cannot help but suspect that the plane she was on was carrying a passenger with the bloodline of the vehicle killer Er Qiao.

As for why it became like this.

The answer is simple.

——A blank.

It’s not because the computer can’t recognize it, nor because the loading speed is too slow, it’s really just because there is nothing recorded in this USB drive.

So, was it Kuang San who deceived her?

Although that is possible, the re-coating technique of this thing was indeed done by Li Lin, and the most important thing is that she did make a similar USB flash drive when she was free two years ago. That USB flash drive is still lying in the drawer on her left.

If we continue analyzing it this way, the only possibility left is that Kuang San read the contents and deleted them in order to cover up a certain fact. However, judging from the fact that Kuang San was completely unaware and did not feel guilty at that time, it is more likely that she did not do anything.

But this also means that this USB flash drive was originally blank, with no content added to it, and her future self had neglected her past self.

I pigeon myself.

But this didn't make sense. There was no reason for the future Li Lin to leave her with a blank USB drive... In other words, this was some kind of hint.

There is no doubt about it, this is a hint from the future.

It’s just that I haven’t found that key breakthrough point yet.

So, Li Lin chose to disassemble the USB flash drive. As expected, there was an address engraved inside the small shell of the USB flash drive. To be more precise, it was the password of a locker used for storing items.

Isn’t the drunkard’s real intention lies in drinking?

Excellent, sis.

The USB flash drive itself is just a cover and disguise, and the real content is engraved on the inside of the shell. Indeed, in this case, there is naturally no need to painstakingly set a password for the USB flash drive.

Now all that’s left is to investigate and confirm what’s in that locker and what its uses are.

A legacy from the future.

Although Li Lin was also curious about whether people who used the Twelve Bullets to go back to the past could leave behind the things they brought to the past, based on the current situation, it seemed that they could.

Even if the person was sent back to the future because the retention time of the Twelve Bullets ran out, the things on his body were not included in the list. Otherwise, this USB flash drive would not have appeared in Kurumi's hands.

According to Kurumi's description, Li Lin in the future turned into light particles and disappeared into the air. If he used the Time Demon repaired by Homura Akemi to go back to the past, this situation would not happen in theory.

"Well, is it a locker in an apartment near the station in Tiangong City..." Li Lin narrowed his eyes as he carefully examined the address under the light.

That address was not unfamiliar. In fact, Origami lived there. Both Li Lin and Xiaoyuan were very familiar with the place. Once, Origami fell ill and they took turns to take care of her for a full half month.

"Anyway, the time agreed with Kurumi is at night, so I'll go collect it during the day. After all, I'm somewhat curious about what "I" left for me."

Chapter 162: The pink-haired girl who seems to be opening a Kamen Rider lucky bag

Rather than making empty guesses, it is better to take practical action.

Regarding his future inheritance and possible reincarnations, Li Lin simply chose to bear it alone as always, without telling anyone.

You can say it, but it's not necessary.

Considering the possibility of causing unnecessary panic and lowering morale on her side, Li Lin did not say this, but she did not want to form any observation results that would determine the future.

After all, the fact that Faust in the future failed to complete his plan and ended up with a bad ending is only based on speculation. Spreading rumors when the specific situation is still unclear will not bring any benefits except causing unnecessary panic.

The truth of everything will become clear once she obtains the inheritance from the future.
