Masked Rider: Infinite Journey

"Ah! No!" Shotaro jumped down from the tree without thinking, intending to catch the kitten in mid-air.

Please! My body! You must catch it!

He stretched his body to the limit, and as his outstretched hands were about to touch the cat, his eyes were filled with joy.

However, another pair of hands suddenly grabbed the kitten from below and then quickly retracted.

Shotaro:?

boom!

“Ah…!!!” Shotarou fell heavily to the ground and couldn’t help but curl up his body and rub his body hard: “It hurts!”

The young man standing next to him squatted down curiously and asked, "Hey, how are you? Do you want to call an ambulance?"

"No need... Huh?! Weren't you the one who was talking just now?"

Hearing that the young man in front of him was the one who had just scared him, Shotarou immediately became furious.

It was not just because he was injured, but more importantly, he almost betrayed the client's trust, causing the cat-finding mission to fail.

"Don't shout in the street, it's dangerous!"

"Uh, sorry." The young man scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I didn't expect there was someone in the tree."

Seeing that the other party's mistake was indeed unintentional, Shotaro's anger immediately dissipated. It just so happened that his body didn't hurt much at this time, so he stood up, patted his clothes, and took the kitten from the young man.

"Hey, good boy, good boy." After stroking the kitten into a shape as happy as tofu, he asked doubtfully, "By the way, what did you mean by that sentence you just shouted?"

"Um, um~ Do you know Kamen Rider?"

Shotaro:......

More than just knowing! No one knows Kamen Rider better than me!

"Have heard a little bit."

"Hmm! You knew that too!" the young man said excitedly, "It is said that 'Say, count your sins' is the catchphrase of that Kamen Rider. How about that? Doesn't it sound super cool?"

Shotarou's face flushed, and he turned his head slightly to avoid the burning gaze: "Well~ It's okay."

"Not only that, I heard that the knight's true form is actually a detective..."

Shotaro:!

"So I wanted to be a detective too, and even moved to Fuudu just for this... Um, who are you?"

"Za Shotaro." Shotaro's mouth twitched slightly. "A detective from the Narumi Office."

"Hmm?" The young man looked at Shotarou suspiciously. "Could it be that you are..."

Shotaro was suddenly shocked.

Oh no, has this person guessed my identity? Is he that perceptive?!

He was getting nervous when he suddenly saw the other party smiling and waving his hands: "No, no, no, how is it possible? The detective I met on the street is Kamen Rider or something."

Shotaro breathed a sigh of relief.

"...And you don't look very reliable, Mr. Shotaro."

Shotaro:! ! !

"Hey, I can't pretend I didn't hear that! What's wrong with me?"

The young man speechlessly pointed at his hand that was unconsciously petting the cat.

"What's wrong with looking for a cat!"

Shotarou shook his head and retorted, "Listen carefully. In this city, whether it's a small happiness or a great misfortune, it always comes with the wind. My job is to listen to this strong wind and protect that small happiness."

"Even if it's just a little cat, it can bring a happy smile to the client's face. This is the meaning of a detective's existence."

After saying this, Shotaro looked very pleased.

How about it! Are you impressed by my tough-guy speech?

"Well, that's great, but that's not what I meant." The young man pointed at the cat in his hand again: "I mean, this cat...it pooped."

Shotaro:?

Looking down and seeing the dirt on his clothes, Shotaro fell silent for a while.

"By the way, my name is Lan Guanghong." Lan Guanghong smiled slightly and said to Shotarou, who no longer remembered his existence, "Please give me your guidance."

Chapter 189 Wind of Memory/T's Memory

Why did Lan Guanghong appear in Fengdu? This story has to start from when he was taken away by Momotaros.

After the history of this world was restored, Lan Guanghong quickly discovered that this was actually Drive's world, but it was not just his world - at the junction with Tokyo where the old driver was, there was a city called Fudu.

Out of curiosity, he quietly came over to investigate and finally confirmed that this was the Fengdu where Shotarou and Philip were.

But at this time they had already conquered the museum and had a fight with a team led by Kamen Rider Eternal. Now they are basically in the retirement stage of walking the dog and looking for the cat.

After confirming his friend's condition, Lan Guanghong planned to evacuate, but he accidentally saw a monster eating a person. Without saying a word, he turned around and kicked the monster to death.

However, something that concerned him greatly fell out from the annihilated monster's body.

Gaia Memory.

It was impossible to tell what type the broken Gaia memory was, but Lan Guanghong had a vague feeling that this city, which was surrounded by wind all year round, seemed to be shrouded in a new shadow.

So, after solving the problem of Orphino, he boarded the heavy-armored Ledoron and returned to this world.

After falling from the vortex of time and space, the first thing he did was to confirm the time.

The difference in the speed of time between the two worlds concerned him, and he began to worry about whether the world he had visited would also have this problem. He didn't want to return one day to see Ikki, with his hair all white and his gait shaky, calling a group of his grandchildren to run up to him and call him "Grandpa."

That really makes my scalp tingle just thinking about it.

But after confirming the time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The time of the two worlds is synchronized!

It seems that the time difference was caused by the influence of the time machine. In fact, the time in the world he visited was synchronized.

"I feel relieved now."

After waving goodbye to Shotarou who was in a hurry to go back and change his clothes, Lan Guanghong turned his head and looked towards the landmark building of Fuuto: Fuuto Tower.

Thanks to the special environment of the Wind City, this huge windmill tower has been turning without stopping, forming a unique spectacle.

However, the wind in the Wind City is not ordinary. It contains an extremely precious treasure, that is - the memory of the earth.

Life, civilization, everything in the universe, all the memories of this planet are gathered in this city by the never-ending wind of the four seasons.

That's why this city attracted the attention of ambitious people including Sonosaki Ryubei, who used the memories brought by the wind to research the "Gaia Memory".

The USB-disk-shaped Gaia Memory is both the power used by the hero and the source of Fuuto's evil.

Ordinary memories will turn humans into strange dopants with special powers, and will gradually erode the user's body and consciousness. Only a few people can perfectly match the power of memories and completely control them.

However, Shotarou and his friends use special memory that requires a driver to unleash its power.

Now, Blu-ray Red also needs a memory like Shotaro's, because if he fights with his original body, his power will completely destroy the doped body. Only by using the power of the memory can he separate the human body while destroying the doped body.

Moreover, he wanted to try it out by the way. After evolving into RX, what Falia once told him, that his strength would increase if he did not use his original knight body to fight, would still work.

"Emm...So, when will you wake up?"

Standing on the top of the Fengdu Tower, Lan Guanghong held the Stone of Heaven in both hands, stared at the little Falia inside for a while, and then helplessly took her into his arms.

"Oh~ No hurry, no hurry, let's get a memory stick first."

Transforming into a mechanical knight, Blue Light Red felt the wind gathering on the tower and slowly stretched out his hand.

"Earth, if you love your children, please give me strength."

Time passed minute by minute, and Lan Guanghong stood there like a sculpture, never taking any next move.

He is waiting.

According to the description in the play, there is compatibility between memory and humans, and the two are attracted to each other, as if it were destined.

For example, there are Shotaro and Joker.

Blu-ray Red is the memory that is waiting for him.

A long time passed, and suddenly, he had an idea and his fingers that were spread out immediately closed.

At the same time, a small gust of wind gathered into a vortex in his hand, and under the printing function of the Mechanical Knight, it was quickly made into a blue crystal-like Gaia memory.

Blu-ray Red:?

"Hmm, I thought it would be a memory like 'Black' or 'Sun', but I didn't expect it to be you."

"Then I'll leave the next period of time to you!"

……

At night, on a quiet and silent road, a man was fleeing in panic.

In the shadows behind him, heavy footsteps approached rapidly, as if some terrifying beast was chasing him.

Not long after, the sound behind him suddenly disappeared. Before the escaper could react, he saw a huge figure suddenly fall in front of him.

"Ouch!" Looking at the terrifying monster in front of him, the man's legs went weak and he fell to the ground, crying out in terror: "Help, help!"

"Hehehe, no one will come to save you." The monster opened its mouth and stuck out its long tongue with vertical stripes, its eyes glowing crimson. "Become my food, you pathetic creature."

Like a cat playing with a mouse, the monster opened its big mouth and slowly approached. Just when it had enough fun and wanted to bite off the man's head, a slight sound suddenly came from the entrance of the alley.

boom!

……clang!

The bullet, which sounded like it wasn't very powerful, hit the doped being and caused his body to tilt, leaving a bullet hole in his shoulder.

"Ok?"

The doped body turned its head to look at the alley entrance, and saw a young man standing there holding an avant-garde revolver. It was obvious that the attack just now was launched by him.

"Hmph, you've pissed me off." The doped being temporarily abandoned its target, turned to face the young man and said disdainfully, "You're asking for your own death. Do you think you can defeat me with that little thing you got from who knows where?"

Lan Guanghong shrugged: "Let's try it. How about you just stand there and let me shoot you a hundred times first?"

Dopant: ...

"I'm going to eat you!"

It suddenly accelerated and pounced towards the blue light red.

Lan Guanghong smiled calmly, raised his thumb on the gun handle slightly, touched a switch, and made the blue memory pop out from the bottom of the gun handle.

Then, he lifted up his clothes to reveal the Lost Drive at his waist, inserted the memory card, pulled the mechanism, and then turned the revolver in the opposite direction.

Under the influence of the linkage structure, the revolver body unfolded and folded, embedding the muzzle into the other half of the Lost Drive blank. The two were perfectly combined to form an inverted triangle.

At the same time, the drive reads out loud the name of the memory bank.

[Trigger!]

"henshin!"

Before he finished speaking, a series of bullets flew out from his belt, knocking the impure entity that was rushing towards him away and then shooting it back, forming a blue body on Lan Guanghong that looked like Kamen Rider Joker, and forming silver mechanical armor on some parts of the body.

Among them, the scope-shaped crystal with a cross engraved on his forehead and the arm armor with a gun muzzle on his right forearm are particularly eye-catching.

Seeing that the original prey suddenly transformed into a Kamen Rider, the hybrid instantly became cautious.

"Who are you?"

"Just passing by..." Lan Guanghong raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and at the same time made his thumb and index finger into the shape of a gun.

"Masked Rider—Trigger!"
