Masked Rider: Infinite Journey

"This belt was completed by Battle Rabbit."

Katsuragi Takumi:?

Battle Rabbit finished it, so isn't that still me? This personality is really... Wait!

"Battle Rabbit has my knowledge, so it's impossible for him to complete the squeeze drive to such an outrageous degree. So... he did it on purpose!"

Thinking of this, Katsuragi Qiao's eyes lit up and he opened Battle Rabbit's computer.

Since he came back, he has not looked at the information in the computer, because he believes that the personality of Battle Rabbit also uses his own knowledge, and no matter what it does, it will not exceed his expectations.

Now it seems that there are some unexpected surprises.

"found it!"

Katsuragi Takumi found the complete design drawings of the squeeze belt and indeed discovered traces of deliberate data modification.

and……

"New design, Yaoyao Rabbit full bottle?!"

He flipped through the research records of the war rabbit without blinking, and an excited smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and a tuft of hair stood up.

"Amazing! Using full bottles of the same type in both slots reduces or even completely negates the side effects of losing yourself when using a dangerous trigger. It's pure genius!"

"If you make it... huh?"

The cell phone suddenly rang, Katsuragi Qiao frowned and looked at the word "Boss" marked on the phone screen.

After hesitating for a moment, he pressed the answer button.

"Hey~ Battle Rabbit, long time no see, did you miss me?"

"It's been a while, Evolto."

"Hmm?" Mr. E on the other end of the phone felt the tone was off, thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Hahaha, what a coincidence. Welcome back."

"Stop talking nonsense, what's your conspiracy?"

"Oh, don't be so unkind. I even invited your family to visit me."

"family!"

Katsuragi Takumi suddenly looked up and said in surprise: "Mom?!"

"That's right. If you want to reunite with your family, come see me tomorrow with Pandora's Box. Ciao~"

Mr. E hung up the phone directly, with a happy smile on his face.

"Fuhahaha, I didn't expect Katsuragi Takumi to revive at this time. It just so happens that this guy is much easier to deal with than Battle Rabbit."

He waved his hand without even turning his head and said, "Then I'll leave that matter to you, my friend of justice."

"……Yes!"

A female voice responded from the shadows behind him.

Chapter 287 Lan Shi's Reasoning

It's another rainy day.

The drops of rain hit the window, making a crisp sound.

Evolto seemed to enjoy the sound. He closed his eyes and waved his hands, like an excellent music conductor directing his orchestra.

Suddenly, his hands stopped.

"I don't remember you being the one who answered the phone, Katsuragi-sensei."

"It makes no difference. I brought what you want." Shinobu Katsuragi, wearing a white coat, put down his umbrella expressionlessly and opened his backpack to reveal a corner of Pandora's Box.

"The magic box and the full bottles from the East and North are all here."

Bang bang bang~

Mr. E applauded and exclaimed, "As expected of a teacher, you got what I wanted so easily."

"Enough of the hypocrisy, where's my wife?"

"Don't worry, you are my important partner. How could I be violent towards your family?" Mr. E smiled slightly and snapped his fingers.

The next second, the ceiling suddenly exploded, and a dark figure fell to the ground under the influence of heavy rain.

"roar~"

The pitch-black slammer let out a roar that sounded like both a beast's roar and a woman's scream.

Seeing the appearance of this slammer, Katsuragi Shinobu's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Lost Slugger!"

This is the final form of the Smasher, formed by combining a human who has absorbed a high concentration of nebula gas with two cloned Smashers that do not require human transformation. It possesses a strength that is completely unattainable by ordinary Smashers.

More importantly, the Lost Smasher can be used to refine the Lost Bottle, which is the key prop for Evolto to create space tunnels and wreak havoc throughout the universe in the future.

"Evolto, you actually!"

"What? Isn't this good?" Mr. E spread his hands. "This world will eventually be devoured by me anyway. Instead of letting your family die like this, why not turn into a full bottle and accompany you forever? Isn't that good?"

Katsuragi Shinobu:......

He didn't say anything, but silently took out the belt and put it around his waist.

[Falcon, Gatling!]

"henshin!"

There is no "best match" prompt sound and exciting sound effects. Compared with my son's belt, it can be regarded as plain and simple, but its performance is definitely not to be underestimated.

It's enough to deal with Evolto, who can't transform into his true form without a belt...huh?!

"You're not pretending anymore? Seriously, I was hoping you could bring me more fun."

Mr. E shook his head helplessly and took out the Evol belt from behind him.

Katsuragi Shinobu:......

Including the genuine one in the lab, this was the fourth Evol driver he knew of.

Is this belt really that worthless? How many of them have appeared now?!

In fact, he was overthinking it. It was extremely difficult to imitate the Evol belt. The engineers of Namba Heavy Industries almost burned their hair and exhausted all their manpower and material resources to barely produce an imitation with a power of 60% to 70% of the original. Moreover, this imitation had been blown up in the battle the day before yesterday.

What Mr. E has in his hand now is the real thing!

Of course, this genuine product is actually a pirated copy made by Blu-ray Red, but it is no different from the original in every aspect. Even Mr. E himself cannot tell the real thing from the fake.

After putting on the belt, Mr. E took out his two evolution bottles with a wicked smile.

"I'm sorry, but this day next year will be the anniversary of your death, henshin!"

[Evolve Cobra! Fuhahaha~]

Looking at the transformed Evolto, Katsuragi Shinobu pursed his lips, realizing that he was probably in great danger today.

But he had no intention of backing down.

"As long as I can leave them even a little information, my trip won't be in vain!"

Having made up his mind, Shinobu Katsuragi suddenly raised the Gatling gun.

However, his wife-turned-Smasher suddenly pounced on him, blocking his path to attack Evolto.

Katsuragi hardened his heart and pulled the trigger with his finger!

……

"Don't those guys in Xidu have brains? They don't even ask about their Prime Minister's situation and just start talking about war."

At the junction of the East and West Capitals, Lan Guanghong sat on the Sky Wall with a depressed look on his face. He looked at the West Capital troops lined up below, ready to attack, and complained into the phone: "How about just pushing the West Capital?"

"...Don't be impulsive, teacher. This action was taken arbitrarily by some conspirators. The others are innocent!"

"Just kidding, there's no way I'd do that. But you would definitely agree to this proposal in the past."

"That's right, damn it, it's all Evolto's fault!" Huande on the other end of the phone changed the subject and asked worriedly, "Teacher, are you really okay on your own? How about I go and help you?"

"No need. Just do your own thing. I only need a few words to make them surrender without a fight."

Huande: ...

It seems that it really doesn't matter.

"Let's go too, Potato Man!"

"Huh? Who are you calling the potato guy, you bearded guy!"

"Hehe~" Huande touched the newly grown beard on his mouth, smiled complacently, then pushed the door and walked out of the cafe.

...The Xidu army began to advance, and when they were about to enter the passage of the Sky Wall, the blue light turned red!

He jumped directly from the top of the sky wall and fell towards the entrance like a meteor.

“Taku!”

Boom!

The huge noise startled the vanguard troops leading the way. After they recovered, they raised their guns and aimed at the figure standing up in the dust.

"Who are you, you bastard?"

"I'm just a kind-hearted person who wants to protect love and peace." Lan Guanghong dusted himself off and smiled, "I want to talk to you about some truth."

The vanguard troops looked at each other, and then...

Dadada, dadada~!

...In less than a minute, the vanguard troops were instantly killed, all the mechanical soldiers were dismantled into scrap metal, and the living people were knocked unconscious and piled up in a heap.

"I told you, I want to reason with you!"

The commander of the central forces frowned and waved his hand.

"Humph, do you think that destroying the vanguard will make us surrender? Naive!"

"There are only brave men who died in battle in Xidu, no cowards who fear death! Warriors, charge!"

Dadada, dadada~!

...In less than three minutes, the central forces were killed instantly, and the commander was held by Lan Guanghong by the scruff of the neck like a little chick, as obedient as a kitten that had not yet been weaned.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? I'm trying to reason with you!"

"Understand!" The frightened commander quickly picked up the communicator on his chest and shouted: "Logistics becomes the vanguard, the entire army retreats!"

"retreat!!!"

"Tsk, they have to be taught a lesson before they behave. How shameless!" Lan Guanghong dropped the commander and pointed at the group of unconscious soldiers on the ground, saying, "Take them all back! If you dare to attack me again, I will put your Prime Minister in a cage with a female gorilla in heat and broadcast it live to the world. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I won't do it again!"

The commander, who had declared defeat before even entering the territory of Dongdu, fled in embarrassment with the remaining troops. Lan Guanghong calculated the time and his gaze gradually shifted to the distance.

"It's up to you, knights."

Chapter 288: The Unstoppable Force of Squeezing the Two Fools

boom!

With a loud bang, the silver-and-brown knight crashed through the wall, his entire body exposed to the pouring rain.

"Gu~" Shinobu Katsuragi covered his chest and cried out in pain. The severe pain all over his body made it difficult for him to stand up for a while.

From the crack in the wall, Mr. E walked out slowly, with the Lost Smasher following closely behind him.

"What's wrong, Mr. Katsuragi? Is this all you have?"

"Hoo~Hoo~" Shinobu Katsuragi lay on the ground, gasping for breath, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahaha..."

Mr. E frowned.

For the past ten years or so, Shinobu Katsuragi had always had a serious face, and he thought this man would never smile.
