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

So far, all ten spirit crystals have been sent out by Mio. Under her deliberate arrangement, Shidao (Shiori) also successfully reached a consensus with Ratatoskr, and began to gradually unfold the strategy and seal the power of the spirits in his body.

Although there were some minor setbacks in the process of implementing this plan, it generally developed step by step in accordance with Takamiya Mio's wishes, as if she was very close to her goal of resurrecting her lover.

After all the spirit crystals are in Shidao's hands, Shidao's personality will be erased, and the personality of Soumiya Shinshi that has been preserved will be placed into Shidao's body to create the illusion of resurrecting Shinshi. This is Mio's entire plan.

Well, and then nothing happened. Plans can never keep up with the speed of change.

As if he was a stranger from another world, Kamen Rider Evol kept hindering Mio's plans, and her speech on the Ten'ou Festival stage today proved that this guy was indeed a life form from another world.

Not only did she interfere, she also took away nearly one-third of the spiritual power of all the elves, and she even successfully persuaded some elves to refuse Shiori's seal, and successfully made Shiori autistic, completely ruining Mio's plan that she had been planning for a full thirty years.

And now, she not only destroys Mio's plan, but also becomes more arrogant and prepares to destroy the earth.

——Life forms outside the domain, destroyers of the world.

Mio was very sure that when the pink-haired girl said this, there was no hesitation or pause in her tone.

Simply put, Mio can't smell lies.

Therefore, Mio took the title that Li Lin casually used to brag seriously. However, in a sense, Li Lin was not bragging. She just hid some unimportant details and details.

"We shouldn't have handed Samsara Paradise over to Kaname Madoka back then."

A slightly anxious Mio maintained her appearance as Lingyin, curled up in the quilt and bit her fingernails.

How could I have been so blind back then and so decisively handed over the precious spiritual crystal to her?

Obviously, that pink-haired ball was so cute at that time, and the coffee she made tasted quite good. Mio originally planned to spare her life, but the outcome turned out to be completely beyond Mio's control.

I thought I was giving alms to a homeless kitten, but after raising it, I found out that the feline I had been feeding and raising was actually a lion. It even bit back and a large piece of flesh was torn off its body.

Mio once tried to strangle this lion that had not yet fully matured in its growth, but she never expected that she would not succeed at all, and the opponent was even stronger than before.

Even Mio couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of life.

But it doesn’t matter, things are not yet at the point of no return.

She also has Shiori and the four elves under Ratatoskr. After they have held back the rest of Faust's men, Mio will rush into the battlefield when the battle situation is tense and wipe out all the elves in one fell swoop.

Even though Shiori had just successfully sealed four spirits, Mio could only reluctantly accept this reality and make do with it.

If you ask Mio whether she has feelings for the elves and Shiori, Mio can answer with certainty that, of course, she deeply loves all the elves and Shiori, even including Kaname Madoka.

After all, if you trace back to the origin, the elves can barely be considered Mio's daughters.

If possible, Mio didn't want to hurt anyone, but she had no choice. She was not as fragile as humans, who could just die. But she was not as strong as humans, who could forget someone and start over.

Mio wants to find him back.

It could be said to be selfish, Mio had no choice but to find him back.

Mio is well aware that what she has done is evil, and her hands are already stained with the blood of innocent girls. But she doesn't mind, as long as she can "resurrect" Shinshi, she will sacrifice all the human beings in the world.

"Shinshi...wait for me. The day when we meet again is not far away."

However, just as Mio was muttering, there was a sudden knock on the door of her room.

Because Tengu City on the ground was in chaos, Mio's clone, Lingyin, did not return to her apartment in Tengu City, but chose to rest in the dormitory in Fraxinus like everyone else.

"who is it?"

"Good evening, Miss Lingyin. Although it is indeed rude to bother you so late at night, I have something very important to discuss with you."

The voice outside the door was Mana's. Since AST officially disbanded, Mana had been in a state of no supervision. She was easily persuaded by Kotori and jumped to Ratatoskr.

Hearing this, Mio's frown relaxed. She put on her glasses and tried her best to restore her usual indifferent expression.

At the same time, cold sweat broke out on Mana's forehead as she stood in the narrow corridor.

In his hands behind his back, the hilt of the lightsaber was tightly grasped in his palms.

Just a week ago, the fortune teller who had always been very accurate in fortune-telling and was deeply trusted by Mana took the initiative to find her while she was enjoying the air conditioning in a fast food restaurant.

Murasame Reion is not a human but an elf, and is one of the culprits who caused Mana and Shidao (Shiori) to lose their memories.

Logically, Mana shouldn't be suspicious of the people around her because of this suspicious stranger, but the black-haired fortune teller said so.

"Go tell Murasame Reine this. I recalled my past memories. I want to talk to you, Mio, about something related to Shinshi."

——If Lingyin was hesitant or lying, you should be able to detect it with your eyesight as a magician, right?

Chapter 223: A hero of justice cannot flee from the battlefield

The wide streets were left with only burning debris.

The pungent smell of burning lingered in Shizhi's nose, and people lying injured in the alleys could be seen everywhere.

Faced with the sudden and overwhelming despair, the once polite and civilized people tore off their clothes and turned into wild beasts.

"Shiori, could it be that these people..." Yoshino looked at the person lying with his back against the wall with sympathy.

"It wasn't Faust who did it. If it was her, she would have turned these ordinary people into dust in an instant, right?" Shiori shook his head, denying the sympathy of Yoshino's statement, picked her up and covered her eyes with his hands. "If you feel uncomfortable, don't watch it."

Taking a deep breath, Shizhi raised his head and looked into the distance.

The spiral cylinder-like tower was attached to the huge Streamer Tree, which was almost endless. The lush branches and leaves of the tree covered the sky above the entire city, so the group of people could not even see the clouds. Only a little sunlight would shine through the gaps between the leaves and fall onto the land of Tiangong City.

Half an hour later.

AM 8:00

In front of the entrance of "Tiangong Tower", the white knight who seemed to be waiting for you stood with one hand on his waist impatiently, while with the other hand he was fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan.

"Just as Erya expected, you guys really came here at this time." Li Lin threw away the palm leaf fan in his hand. "I thought you guys would try every possible way to escape or hide, but no one is missing. It's really gratifying, and it also saves me the time of looking for you."

"A righteous hero must not flee from the battlefield. You taught me this." Looking seriously at Li Lin, Shizhi straightened his snow-white neck.

"Well said, this is how Kamen Rider should be." Li Lin nodded to Shizhi in appreciation. "I haven't seen you for a long time. You have grown a lot in many ways. So as a reward for not running away, well, I'll give you some news. There is no obstacle underground in this city. You can leave this city by digging a tunnel, provided you can do it."

Hearing what Li Lin said, Qinli quickly picked up her cell phone and conveyed this information to everyone on Flaxinus, as if asking for help.

"why?"

"Oh, dear Miss Shiori, what do you want to ask?"

Facing Li Lin, who had an indifferent expression and a hint of smile in his voice, Shizhi raised his eyebrows and asked at the top of his voice: "Telling us how to escape from this city, what is the meaning of that! You have trapped everyone in the city, do you know how many people have fallen into panic because of your actions?!"

Li Lin pinched his chin, pretending to think, and gave Shizhi an answer after a moment.

"Why is that? I'm also looking for the answer." Li Lin said. "Strictly speaking, you and I are partners standing on the same front."

"Stop joking!"

Ignoring Shiori's objection, Li Lin glanced at the four elves and then moved his gaze back to Shiori.

"I will explain the rules of the game below. Please remember them in your mind. I am not a parrot and I will not repeat them to you a second time. First of all, you are forbidden to fly along the outer wall of the Tiangong Tower, even though you cannot fly up there. Secondly, if you are unable to conquer the tower and no one reaches the top floor by 6 pm this evening, it will be considered that you have all failed. Other than that, you can use any method you can think of to climb to the top floor of the tower. In short, there are no other rules."

Li Lin turned around and was about to leave with his back to Shizhi and the others, but suddenly turned his head and added to Shizhi and the others.

"Although it's a game, it's no joke. I won't guarantee your personal safety."

Although he said that, in reality he was only speaking to Fraxinus who was watching this place and Takamiya Mio who was watching from the sidelines. There was no real killing of them.

Even if Li Lin really gave the order, Faust's members would disobey it, right?

Of course, Homura Akemi, Madoka Kozuru, and the out-of-character guy Rokuko are not included. In fact, the only ones who will serve as goalkeepers are Nia, Alan, Miku, and a special guest off-site.

After all, it's just a show. The four people responsible for blocking the road will most likely deliberately let them go to ensure that Shiori and his group can reach the top floor smoothly.

"Well, see you a little later, Ciao?" Li Lin waved to everyone, and they just stared at Li Lin's back as he disappeared into the black hole.

"Confused. Aren't you going to stop her? Shiori, Yui believes that to catch a thief, one must first catch the leader."

"It's just a snake-skin knight. I alone... well, together with everyone else, we can definitely suppress the opponent."

But after speaking halfway, the lacking confidence Yajuya seemed to notice the gap in strength between himself and the other party, and quickly changed his words.

"Since she dared to appear in front of us so blatantly, it means that she has a trump card in her hand that we don't know about yet." Shiori said. "Besides, Tohka is still in their hands. For the time being, we can only act according to the rules she set."

Since their first meeting five years ago, Shizhi felt that there was a mysterious atmosphere surrounding Li Lin, and as they continued to spend time together, Shizhi became more certain that his feeling was not wrong.

Li Lin is not an evil person. Although Shizhi feels the materialized murderous intent from her, why is there such a strong sadness in that murderous intent? Li Lin may play some pranks on weekdays, but they are all "open and aboveboard" and harmless pranks.

But it is meaningless to think about all this now. As for Li Lin's motives, Shizhi will have plenty of time to ask her after reaching the top of the tower and defeating her. Origami's look at that time also made Shizhi particularly concerned.

"It's a rare occasion that you're so reliable. My sister has finally evolved from a single-celled Paramecium into a multi-celled organism. It's so gratifying." As usual, Kotori held the Chupa Pearl in her mouth and complained about Shiori incoherently.

While saving the city is important, Tohka is also a target for rescue.

There is no end to the choice between two options, it just means repeating sad things. A true Kamen Rider should have them all.

"Kotori." Looking up at the Tengu Tower, Shiori suddenly spoke.

"?"

"I've decided. After this battle is over, I have something to say to you. Not only you, but also Tohka."

However, the prerequisite is that this battle can end with Shiori and the others' victory.

Chapter 224: Facts prove that it is the elves, not the angels, who are embarrassed

The towering glass-walled spire is commonly known as the Tengu Tower. It is a general radio tower that was rebuilt after the Great South Kanto Air Disaster 30 years ago.

There is an observation deck inside the tower, and various commercial facilities are built around the tower. This place is usually regarded as a tourist attraction, and on weekends, many couples and families visit, making it very lively.

"...But now it's just deserted." Shiori said. "Now that I think about it, a lot of things have happened in Tiangong City."

Shiori looked around.

The streets today were chillingly quiet and peaceful. Well, rather than quiet, it would be better to describe it as deathly silent. The only sound left was the crackling of the flames still burning on the buildings.

The peaceful life has gradually disappeared since April 10th of this year, as if he had made up his mind to say goodbye to Shiori completely.

"Yeah. There's one more thing. When are you going to sigh like an old man? It's already half past eight. We don't have much time left."

Kotori urged, pushing Shiori's back.

"Yes, yes, yes, Captain of Fraxinus."

The members of Faust are very strong, especially the two store managers. If they were to confront them head-on, they would probably disappear from this world in an instant.

Even after thinking for half a night, he still couldn't think of any chance to win. But as Kotori said, there was not much time left for Shiori and the others, so now he could only muster up his courage and go all out.

Then do your best and leave the rest to fate.

The moment you step through the entrance of Tiangong Tower, the surrounding scenery changes.

The light and shadow reflected on the iris kept changing, and from time to time there were blurry afterimages and noise flashing by, just like the images played when an old videotape was damaged.

The spacious modern-style lobby and original furnishings that Shiori remembered were long gone, and the elevator to the top floor that should have been visible at a glance was nowhere to be seen.

——A huge library.

Where the walls should have been was replaced by huge bookshelves. Looking around, there were only endless bookshelves extending forward on both sides of the field of vision, and they were filled with books with no specific names marked on the spines, except for a few that had names engraved on them.

From Shiori's perspective, they are basically all weird English names, such as Decade, Zio, Kiva, Joker, etc., which are completely confusing.

The height of the ceiling was also abnormally astonishing. Shiori's impression was that the first floor hall was only about two stories high, but it was ten times higher than before. In other words, it was a wide space where the elves could fly and fight freely in the air without feeling restricted.

This must be a very large preparation. Just by standing near the entrance, Shiori can feel the extremely rich spiritual power permeating the tower.

After seeing such a strange scene, everyone turned their heads to look outside at the same time. However, the environment outside did not change. It was still the wide square at the entrance of Tiangong Tower.

"The space inside the tower... has been expanded. Are there angels with such abilities?"

After biting the Chupa Pearls in her mouth, Kotori frowned.

"I agree. Yui and Yakuya's Hurricane Knight can't do the same thing at all."

With a look of shock in her eyes, Yuxian commented in a nonchalant tone. Meanwhile, Yakushiya, who did not speak, was obviously still unable to understand and his brain was down.

"Ms. Shiori, look ahead."

While everyone was still in shock and sighing, Yoshino, who was the first to notice someone's figure, quickly reminded them.

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the vast space, and Shizhi and the others looked in the direction where the sound came from.

The gauze is decorated with pens and a translucent nun's uniform with a cross that looks like ink.

The girl has short grey hair and blue-green eyes that reveal a playful smile.
