Masked Rider: Infinite Journey

Seeing Ichijo Xun's reluctant expression, Lan Guanghong quickly clasped his hands together and pleaded, "Please, Ichijo Senior! Please help me, and I'll treat you to barbecue tomorrow!"

"Ah~ there's really nothing you can do about it."

Xun Ichijo waved his hand helplessly: "Go ahead, but I have to warn you in advance, I won't hold back on my orders tomorrow!"

"Oh! Leave it to me!"

Lan Guanghong patted his chest, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly to reveal a strange smile.

Chapter 301 Ancient Secrets

BBQ Taro.

This is a well-known and highly praised barbecue restaurant that specializes in the freshest ingredients and secret ancestral dipping sauces. It is a rising star in the Nihong barbecue world.

The above are Lan Guanghong’s original words.

"But there aren't any customers. No, there's not even a store manager or a waiter. This store isn't even open yet!"

Lan Guanghong brought two plates of still-juicy fresh beef and a dipping sauce, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about these details, come and try my secret dipping sauce."

"yours?"

Ichijo Xun keenly grasped the key point of this sentence.

“Is this your store?”

"Yes, I hadn't decided what to cook yet, but after get off work yesterday I decided to make barbecue."

Ichijo Kaoru: ...

So in order to save money on a barbecue meal, you opened your own barbecue restaurant to treat people?

Even a police officer who has been in the industry for more than ten years and is knowledgeable was confused by the blue light and red operation.

However, the aroma of sizzling beef fat dripping onto the charcoal quickly drew his attention.

"Oh~, it looks very appetizing."

"Yeah, try it."

He put a piece of meat in his mouth, chewed it twice, and instantly his eyebrows danced with joy: "Delicious."

"Not bad, eat it while it's hot. I'll go cut two more plates."

"Wait a minute." Yitiao stopped him. "Wait a minute, I have two friends coming over, let's eat together."

Afraid that Lan Guanghong would misunderstand and think he was going to kill him, Ichijo immediately explained, "They are all related to the unconfirmed life form incident. They are very helpful to our investigation, so I wanted to introduce them to you."

"I understand. Let's wait."

Lan Guanghong probably knew who he was talking about. It should be Sawatari Sakurako, an expert in interpreting ancient relics, and...Yusuke Godai.

Are we going to see Kuuga in person? I'm a little excited.

Under his expectant gaze, a puzzled man and woman pushed the door open, and their eyes lit up when they saw Xun Ichijo.

"Ichijo-san."

"Oh, you're here, Miss Sawatari, Godai." Ichijo Fumio stood up and greeted with a smile, "Come, let me introduce you, this is my colleague Nagano Daigo. He's the one who can defeat unconfirmed life forms head-on."

"Huh? So awesome!"

The man excitedly stepped forward and shook Lan Guanghong's hand: "Hello, I'm Yusuke Godai."

The girl next to him bowed slightly. "Archaeology at Jonan University, Sawatari Sakurako."

Blu-ray Red: ...

It was indeed them, and unsurprisingly, their appearance was completely different from that in the drama.

Sawatari Sakurako, the short-haired energetic girl in our impression, has become a cool and aloof senior with long black straight hair. Godai Yusuke is a short-haired young man who is obviously a hot-blooded idiot.

But his smile was still quite sunny, which was consistent with his impression of the fifth generation's personality.

"Mr. Godai, what do you do for a living?"

As soon as the words came out, Wudai's smile suddenly became a little awkward.

"Ah, well... I'm working in a coffee shop now, delivering takeout and stuff."

Lan Guanghong cast a puzzled look at Ichijo Xun.

"Well, he is a special talent like you who can face Gurongi head-on."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Lan Guanghong suddenly understood and held Wudai's hand tightly. "It's our first meeting. Please take care of me."

"Please take care of me."

Two powerful hands clasped together, this is a historic meeting between RX, the last rider of the Showa era, and Kuuga, the first rider of the Heisei era!

——Although neither of them is from the TV world.

"Let's save the small talk for a while, Mr. Ichijo. I've made a great discovery."

Sawatari Sakurako sat down on a chair and opened her notebook, and the three men leaned forward to look.

"The true name of the unidentified life form is 'Gurongi'. They are a tribe that has existed since ancient times. After performing the 'Spirit Stone Ritual', they gained special abilities that surpassed humans, and their appearance also changed dramatically."

"Grunge?"

"Indeed, according to the inscription on the stone tablet, this is a tribe that enjoys killing." Sawatari Sakurako pursed her lips and continued, "Kill a certain number of prey within a specified timeframe. Advanced Gurongi will also impose specific conditions. This is their 'Kikiru Game.'"

"The prey is us humans?"

"Well, in ancient times, humans were called Lindo, and what happened next was a little complicated."

Sakurako manipulated the computer to arrange a few runes and explained, "Linduo also performed the 'Spirit Stone Ritual', which gave birth to a warrior who protects Linduo. The warrior's name is..."

"Ku Wo." Lan Guanghong muttered to himself.

"Agito." Sakurako translated the warrior's name.

Blu-ray Red:?

Wait a minute! Gurongi used the spirit stone to become a monster, and humans used the spirit stone to become Agito?

What about Kuuga? Where did Kuuga come from?

Also, is this Agito the same Agito I know? Is there a Black God in this world?!

"…The situation gets even more complicated now. A warrior from the Gurongi side has also appeared to protect Linduo. That warrior is—Kuga."

Blu-ray Red: ???

Kuuga, is it Gurongi?

"In short, he's a traitor. He rebelled against his own people..."

"The word betrayal is too harsh~" The Fifth Hokage, who had inherited Kuuga's power, interrupted with a smile, "Such a gentle person must have believed that both sides could understand each other, so he stopped the killing of his own kind."

Sakurako:?

"Why are you speaking for him as if you have met him?"

"Huh?" Godai wasn't good at speaking, so he could only scratch the back of his head and laugh foolishly: "Ahaha~ How could that be, Sawatari, you're overthinking it."

Everyone:...

Your suspicious expression has already betrayed you!

Seeing everyone's strange expressions, Wudai hurriedly changed the subject: "What about this 'spiritual stone'? Does the inscription record its location?"

"No, it only says that the Spirit Stone was originally held by Linduo, but was later taken away by Gurongi."

"Some people are saying that the Spirit Stone is now in Gurongi's hands?" Ichijo Xun stood up straight, his face serious. "If the Spirit Stone still exists in the world, it will be troublesome."

"The commander is right." Lan Guanghong pushed his glasses: "It is necessary to investigate!"

……

At the same time, in a large quarry in the suburbs, a crane was working with a rumbling sound.

"Be careful, you idiots! Don't damage the adults' treasures!"

The fat, big-eared man in a prison guard uniform wiped the sweat from his face and said flatteringly to the man wrapped in a black robe next to him, "Sir, look at us..."

"Shut up!" The man in white robe interrupted him impatiently, his eyes fixed on a huge crystal stone more than three meters high hanging from the ground.

"Finally found it, the Spirit Stone (Gurongi)!"

"This way, Agito, the only one who can deal with us, will become our slave (Gurongi). Hehehe...Hahahaha!"

Chapter 302: Unsuccessful Mission, Cheetah Girl

On the other side, in a dilapidated botanical garden, two human figures gathered together.

"A new game has begun."

The woman with a rose tattoo on her forehead, silver hair, and noble clothes activated the mechanism in the ring and pierced it into the belt of the cheetah-type Gurongi.

"Thirty people in two days."

"Ha~" The cheetah was covered in hot steam, and its body gradually changed into a petite girl in bold clothes in the white smoke.

"In this way, I will also be promoted to Mei Group!"

"Don't underestimate Linduo. They are different from before. They have all kinds of weapons."

Recalling her companions' reports about the massacre of the locusts, the Rose Girl said solemnly, "There are also warriors who can suppress the Zi Group even though they cannot transform."

The cheetah species didn't care at all, and said arrogantly with his hands on his hips: "A warrior from Linduo? They can't even touch me, and the same goes for Sora!"

Rose Girl: ...

Really, why does every group have such brainless guys? They all act like they are the boss and I am the second-in-command, and Daguba is no match for me.

Have you forgotten how Kuuga physically sealed you in ancient times?

Unwilling to communicate further with such an idiot, the Rose Girl waved goodbye and left: "Go finish the game, Cheetah."

"Ha~!"

The girl clenched her hands into cat paws, opened her mouth and licked it twice, revealing her sharp little fangs.

“…The hunt begins!”

……

"Hello~!"

Wudai sniffed and pulled the corner of his clothes to make the thin clothes stick closer to his body.

"Mr. Nagano, how far is it?"

Lan Guanghong pointed at the mountain that was faintly visible in the night ahead and said, "It's not far. We'll be there just over the hill ahead."

Five generations:?

"Haha, just kidding. There's a market two miles away where you can buy the freshest fish and meat."

"I was scared to death!" Godai breathed a sigh of relief. "But it's really not easy for Mr. Nagano to run so far every morning to buy materials and then go to work at the police station at eight o'clock."

"It's nothing. I'm still quite energetic. But you, Fifth Generation, insisted on following me even though I told you not to. Now you must have caught a cold."

"Ahahaha, after eating so much barbecue, it's only natural for me to help out..."

The two were walking and talking until their attention was attracted by a young girl walking towards them.

He is about 1.5 meters tall, just below the neck of the fifth generation, and is even further away from Lan Guanghong.

What attracted the two men was not the girl's appearance, but her clothes.

It was the coldest time of the day in the early morning when the air was lingering. However, the girl only had a few straps that did not keep her warm at all and a leopard print scarf covering her key parts. She also wore very short leather pants with a layer of leopard print panties with different leg lengths underneath.

The feet are bare.

Wu Dai had never seen such a scene before, and he immediately took off his clothes and put them on the poor girl.

Blu-ray Red grabbed him and said, "Idiot, it's Gurongi!"

"Eh?!"
