Chapter 274 Consortium Envoy

2023-09-03

"What a silly girl, helping outsiders."

Sonosaki Ryubei stepped out of the restaurant, and the golden memory in his hand was activated and automatically flew into the drive.

"TERROR!" Fear.

"Hahahaha!"

The blue-black wave spread out instantly, and Sonosaki Ryubei, who had transformed into a boss hybrid, appeared above Sonosaki Saeko and the doctor.

The whole world seemed to be dissolving, and blue liquid was gathering towards the two fleeing people.

"If you touch it, you're doomed!"

Knowing well how terrifying her father was, Sonosaki Saeko gritted her teeth, quickly activated her forbidden memory, transformed, and flew away from the only gap with the doctor.

"go!"

"What is this?" Toothbat II flapped his wings in confusion, "It feels a bit scary."

"The power of fear memory is of the mental interference type."

Natsukawa witnessed Sonosaki Ryubei using his ability outside the courtyard.

Perhaps because of his daughter, he merely intimidated the man and did not attack, and he quickly disappeared.

"Don't you feel scared?"

Shotaro Zuo curled up in fear in his consciousness space, his eyes unfocused and his speech gradually becoming incoherent.

"That's the feeling. I can't help but tremble. The Sonosaki family is indeed the root of everything... Let's go. We are now..."

"calm down."

Natsukawa glanced through the fence at the Sonosaki mansion which had returned to normal.

"People who see this power will be mentally disturbed, which will lead to psychological suggestion. It is not really dangerous."

"But I can't control myself now," Shotaro said, breathing heavily while hugging his arms. "Is mental interference so powerful?"

"Fear memories will increase the target's fear. Just stop thinking about it and you'll be fine."

"I can't stop thinking about random things..."

"Believe in yourself, Shotaro."

Xia Chuan raised his fingers, using his telekinesis to block out mental interference while preparing to temporarily exit consciousness.

"As long as you believe, you can become strong on your own."

"A-Are you leaving?"

Shotaro Zuo suddenly panicked and for a moment even forgot his fear.

Even though it was only a short day and two battles, and I didn't even see him in person, I don't know why, but I always felt empty when we were suddenly separated.

This temporary partner is truly unforgettable.

It's been a long time since I felt that kind of peace of mind since my former master, Uncle Ming Hai, was murdered.

It’s as if you can see a giant with a solid back.

Not only did he pull him out of the abyss of aging, but he also eliminated the giant wind god pterosaur and saved Fengdu in the critical moment.

He felt the monster's strength very clearly. Although it was easily defeated, its strength was actually far beyond that of the small Quetzalcoatlus.

"Wow!"

Xia Chuan's consciousness faded, but the expected white space did not appear. When he opened his eyes, he was already in a luxurious bedroom.

Directly return to the body?

Well, it seems there is no choice at all.

Xia Chuan sat up quickly, and after a quick body check, he began to sense the Earth Library again.

The database connection is not disconnected, but the matching degree is less than 50%.

You can enter only if you reach 50%, and 100% is required to view the information.

As the relevant data and information came into his mind, Natsukawa walked to the window with all his thoughts in mind, pulled aside the curtains and looked at Shotaro Zuo who was leaning against the fence with his head down.

The medium seems to be Shotaro Sae.

For some reason, this protagonist became the key to his connection to the Earth Library.

Logically speaking, it should at least be the other protagonist, Philip.

As both of them are protagonists, Shotaro Sae seems to be there to make up the numbers, and most of the time he seems like a younger brother who needs to be taken care of.

He initially became W due to forced circumstances, a half-baked person who had to take charge of things on his own because his master died.

"Are you crying?" Fangbat II hovered in the air, looking at Shotaro Sae who was sniffling and sobbing in confusion.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not crying."

Shotaro Sae wiped his eyes and looked towards the gate of Sonosaki's residence again.

"Kanniaga's body should be in there, right? Let's find a way to rescue him..."

"Kaminaga has gone back?" Yabat II realized it belatedly and no longer paid attention to Shotaro Sa, and flapped his wings at high speed to fly back to the villa.

……

Sonosaki restaurant.

The new afternoon tea or real meal time has arrived, and delicacies made by top pastry chefs from all over the world are served on the table one after another.

Ming Hai Yashuzi kept her head down the whole time and didn't even dare to look at it.

Fortunately, because of the rebellion of his eldest daughter and the doctor, Sonosaki Ryubei had no time to care about her for the time being.

"Father."

Sonosaki Wakana absentmindedly took a bite of the dessert, her eyes fixed on the seat where her sister Saeko used to sit.

At first, there were 5 people in the family, but now even my sister is gone.

"There are only two of us dining..."

"Now is not the time to be sentimental, Wakana. From now on, you will be in charge of our museum," Sonosaki Ryubei said expressionlessly, "Don't you want to marry the messenger? Now is your best chance."

"But father, my sister was in charge before, I..."

Sonosaki Wakana bit her lower lip in embarrassment.

Her ideal is to become the best idol artist.

When her sister was around, she only criticized her for this, but she never let her come into contact with the dark side of the museum.

"Haha, speaking of the messenger, the messenger just happened to be here."

Sonosaki Ryubei suddenly stood up with a smile, turned around and greeted Natsukawa who was walking down from the second floor.

White suit and slicked back hair, typical attire of Consortium X.

"I slept for a long time, but the person in charge of investment should be Mr. Jiatou of your company. I wonder what the messenger's name is?"

Sonosaki Ryubei smiled kindly, narrowed his eyes slightly to feel the unknown threatening aura from Natsukawa, and secretly tightened his memory of fear.

Although he had heard early in the morning that an envoy would be coming, Xia Chuan's appearance made him feel somewhat confused.

"My name is Shinji Kaminaga. I'm not the investment manager. If I have to say, I'm an investigator." Xia Chuan walked down the stairs step by step.

Now he represents Consortium X in this world, and is much more advanced than the envoy of Consortium X in the copy.

"investigation?"

Sonosaki Ryubei's expression changed slightly, but he continued talking with a smile.

"What on earth is Consortium X worried about? Our plan is going smoothly and is about to enter the final stage. There is nothing to investigate, right?"

"The final stage?"

"I changed the person in charge, and now everything is in the hands of the person I trust the most,"

Sonosaki Ryubei walked up behind the second daughter, Wakana.

"Wakana is very talented and will definitely surprise your boss."

"Father……"

Sonosaki Wakana clutched the corner of her clothes nervously, not even daring to look Natsukawa in the eye.

At this time, Ming Hai Yashuzi, who was hiding in the dark, also saw Xiachuan clearly. After hearing the conversation, she couldn't help but stare, and her mouth shape changed to O shape like a hen again.

"How come I don't know? He is Kan'ei Shinji? He seems to be a big shot..."

Ming Hai Yashuzi was secretly panicking and didn't even bother to take notes. She hurriedly retreated into the kitchen and prepared to leave through the back door.

"We have to inform Shotaro and the others quickly!"

"Mick!"

Sonosaki Ryubei put the belt on the pet cat with a cold voice.

"There's a mouse in the house, go catch it."

"Don't worry about her," Xia Chuan sat down at the dining table and stopped the fat cat whose fur was standing on end, "The dessert party will continue."

Chapter 275 Demon Family

2023-09-04

Narumi Detective Agency.

Shotaro Zuo leaned against the window, looking absent-minded, silently looking at the dripping rain outside. A deep feeling of loneliness came over him, and he didn't even notice the tiny drops of water splashing on his face.

In the end, he still failed to break into Sonosaki's house.

Maybe he really is just a half-baked waste.

"I'm telling the truth!" Ming Hai Akiko kept shouting around Terui Ryu who was preparing the food, "Believe me, Ryu! That Kaminaga Shinji is at the Sonosaki family, and he seems to be an envoy of some consortium. Even Sonosaki Ryubei is very polite to him. Maybe it's because of his Sonosaki family that..."

"Director," Terui Ryu said helplessly, "sometimes what you see is not necessarily the truth. Philip was also rescued from the museum..."

Noticing the changes in Shotaro and the other man's expressions, Terui Ryu ended the topic in time.

That operation was because Shotaro Sae acted on his own and killed the former director, Shokichi Minghai, in disguise.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

"It's in the past," Philip shook his head. "At that time, we transformed into W, which was a way to atone for our sins. Shotaro made arbitrary decisions, and I lived as a tool by ignoring his decisions..."

"Sin?"

Shotaro Zuo sighed softly and turned to look at Philip who was hugging the blank book tightly.

He is the one who is truly guilty.

Philip was simply being used by the Sonosaki family.

Sonosaki Ryubei didn't seem to take his son seriously at all, and only treated him as a tool to connect to the Earth database.

No wonder the masked woman suspected to be Philip's mother betrayed the Sonosaki family.

"However," Philip suddenly frowned and said, "There is one thing I don't understand. The dual driver was designed for me from the beginning. The driver and I are integrated to run two memories at the same time, thus giving birth to a super Kamen Rider with my knowledge...

But what about that Kaminaga Shinji? It's OK that he can transform with Shotaro, but his fighting ability is not weak at all... Could he also enter the Earth Library? And it's incredible that Shotaro can keep up with that person's strength. "

Shotaro Zuo hesitated.

In fact, Xia Chuan fought all the battles alone, and he was just watching the show.

"Philip," Shotaro Sa said after a moment of silence, "If what the researcher said before was correct, your real name should be Sonosaki Raito, right?"

"Ah."
