Masked Rider: Infinite Journey

She didn't know what she had done at that time. She only knew that when she came out of that state and regained her consciousness, she had become a death row prisoner.

What happened later pushed the matter to a bizarre level. The prison was occupied, and people wrapped in white robes performed inhumane living sacrifices on prisoners.

Fortunately, when she was in despair, that person appeared...

Now, Setsuna also wants to try to save others like that person, starting with the cat-like girl right in front of her.

So Xuecai named her Xing, which had no meaning. It was simply because the girl's big eyes reminded her of this fruit.

Today, after getting Mrs. Nagano's consent, she took Xing out to buy ingredients and visit the morning market, letting her feel the atmosphere that normal people should have.

——I don’t know why, but Setsuna always felt that when she made a request to Mrs. Nagano, her smile was strange, as if it was the result of a successful prank.

"I'm overthinking it, maybe Mrs. Nagano just smiles like that?"

Setsuna was a little confused, but quickly put those thoughts behind her at Xing's urging.

There are very few breakfast shops in the island country because people in this country are used to eating at home. When they are alone, they just buy bread, sandwiches, etc. on the way.

Originally, Xue Cai was planning to make a rich and delicious breakfast, but the problem was... she didn't know how.

Unlike her brother who has maxed out housekeeping skills, Setsuna is a complete cooking geek, even better than the former Faria.

Lan Guanghong was not at home, so Falia couldn't cook for the two of them, so they had to go out to find food.

Fortunately, there were a lot of fresh ingredients at the morning market, and there were always a few shops nearby that would buy and cook on the spot. After buying the ingredients, Xuecai and Xing followed the smell and found a convenience store that provided breakfast. They had a delicious meal of beef rice with a scrambled egg and fried sausages.

"Phew~Thanks for the treat!"

After finishing her meal, Xuecai placed her chopsticks flat on the bowl, clasped her hands together, and turned her gaze to Xing again.

Gurungi Girl:…

She clapped her hands, imitating Setsuna's example, and said, "Thank you for praising Dai."

The voice was a little off-key, but at least it was said smoothly, and Xuecai was very relieved.

"Come on, go home."

The two of them went out carrying large and small bags, and their backs as they left looked like a happy mother and daughter.

They didn't notice that at the other end of the street, a man in black with his back to them raised his head slightly and muttered something in Gurongi.

“…How depraved.”

Taking off his sunglasses, the man in black left the place quietly.

——His Kikiru game has not yet begun. Now he cannot kill anyone, otherwise he will lose the qualification to play the same as that idiot of the bat species, and become a follower and servant of the rose species, and be beaten by her from time to time.

He had no such interest, so he had to choose a place that would not affect ordinary people.

Mission: Execute the traitor!

Reward: Be the next person to start the game.

Black-clothed Gurongi felt it was a great deal, as the cheetah species was no match for him. After all, he was a higher-class demon.

The way home is very long, and in the middle you have to pass through a small road that very few people pass by. This is Gurongi's favorite execution place.

He waited on this trail in advance and soon met his target.

"Bah!"

A strong premonition of danger made Xing's hair stand on end. She raised her hands into claws and tried to transform back into her original form... but nothing happened.

"Huh? I'm sealed. No wonder I couldn't be sensed until I was so close. I wasn't punished for failing the game."

The man curled his lips in disdain. "Boring! You're not worth hunting right now. But... a mission is a mission!"

"who are you?"

Setsuna Tsugami threw away the package in her hand and opened her arms to block in front of Xing as a precaution, but was pushed aside by Xing with all her strength.

"escape!"

She didn't even look at Xuecai who was pushed down. After shouting, she rushed towards the man in black without hesitation.

"madness!"

The man in black jumped up with even faster movements, and quickly turned into a monster in mid-air. His appearance was surprisingly similar to Xing's Gurongi, except that his body was pure black and more robust and powerful.

Black Panther Gurongi——Me.Mebio.Da

He had no special powers, relying solely on his physical strength to reach the Mei level. His own strength was above Xing's, not to mention that Xing was no different from an ordinary person except for his recovery ability.

After just one encounter, Xing was knocked away, rolled on the ground for a few times, and vomited blood.

"apricot!"

Xuecai, who had just gotten up, ran over there quickly, and Black Panther frowned slightly.

"In the way!"

He rushed in front of Xuecai and kicked her away before she could react.

——You can’t kill people, but it’s okay to seriously injure them and make them unable to move.

After this kick, Xuecai felt that all her internal organs were displaced, and the severe pain made her groan.

"Yuki, Yukina!"

Xing gritted her teeth and pounced on Gurongi again, only to be grabbed by the other party's throat.

"Goo!"

She tried to scratch the arm in front of her, but her weak strength couldn't even leave a scratch on it.

Soon, suffocation caused Xing's movements to gradually slow down, and her brain began to feel a little dizzy.

Before closing her eyes, she shifted her gaze slightly towards Setsuna.

"...This is good too. At least she won't die."

Feeling that the prey in his hand had completely given up resistance, the Black Panther Gurongi curled his lips again.

"boring."

He raised his other hand to smash the spirit stone on Xing's waist, but suddenly, a strong premonition of danger made the hair on his body stand on end.

"Let her go!"

Setsuna Tsugami stood up shakily, breathing heavily, and looked like she might fall down again at any moment.

But the source of danger came from this woman. Black Panther did not dare to be negligent. He threw Xing aside and got on all fours to be on guard against Xuecai.

"Who the hell are you?"

“…Unforgivable.”

A strange power surged from her waist to her whole body. Xue Cai suddenly opened her arms and shouted, "Ah~~!!!"

Golden light burst out, and liquid spirit stone energy surged out of her body and quickly solidified, transforming her into another appearance.

Gulang's eyes shrank into vertical pupils in an instant.

"Agito!"

Chapter 312 The Dependent Person

Agito, that was the name of the ancient warrior who guarded Lindo.

It is said that each of them has a combat capability comparable to that of the "Ge" Group, and they have the concept of "killing" in their cognition.

If in ancient times, Lindo was the prey of Gurongi, then Gurongi was the prey of Agito. This situation did not change until their clan devised a plan to seize the spirit stone, cutting off Agito's inheritance, and it gradually became a one-sided massacre of Lindo by Gurongi.

If it weren't for Kuga's rebellion, it would be unknown who would be in charge of the world today.

However, at this moment, in front of the Black Panther Gurongi, the former nightmare, Agito appeared again!

The trembling from deep within its blood made it subconsciously want to escape, and it did so.

"The situation has changed, tactical retreat!"

Like a real wild beast, the black panther turned and fled, not even daring to look back to see if the other party was chasing it.

It was extremely fast, and its body became hot due to the friction with the air, but the golden warrior was faster than it!

Whoosh!

A golden figure suddenly landed lightly in front of the cheetah from the air. Its pupils shrank, and its sharp nails stretched out and dug into the ground to slow down.

However, the inertia of running still caused it to slide forward for a distance. In its eyes, the soles of its feet covered by the black biological armor quickly enlarged.

Paji~

Like a smashed watermelon, the cheetah's head exploded instantly, and its headless body slid weakly to the ground.

With a crisp sound, the spirit stone of the dead Gurongi cracked.

"hu~hu~"

The armor on her body quickly faded away, and Setsuna Tsugami took a deep breath to calm her emotions.

She looked down at her hands. "That was the Agito Mr. Nagano mentioned just now?"

"Such power...ah, Xing!"

Setsuna Tsugami woke up from her shock and hurried back.

"Xing, you're okay..."

"Ouch!"

The Gurongi girl dragged her severely injured body and took two steps back, fear in her eyes.

The fear of Agito is also etched in her DNA.

However, Setsuna Tsugami was unaware of the truth and thought the girl had seen her transformed appearance, and thought she was also a monster like Gurongi.

The outstretched hand slowly retracted, and Xuecai's expression became somewhat miserable.

"Yeah, with that kind of attitude, you can't really call yourself a 'human'."

"Is this, 'Masked Rider'?"

She slowly took two steps back and wanted to leave, but her excitement and exhaustion after her first transformation caused her to lose her fighting power and fall to the ground.

"Not good, consciousness..."

Before her eyes completely closed, she felt a small hand on her face, not sure if it was an illusion.

"Setsuna."

With his small body, he struggled to carry Setsuna Tsugami and staggered towards home.

……

"Hmm~ What an unexpected development... Then you don't have to keep such a close eye on them anymore. Let's buy the shop next door and let them live there."

After hanging up the phone, Lan Guanghong kicked his legs and slid the executive chair next to Ozawa Orange: "What? My design?"

"It's really amazing!"

Ozawa's eyes lit up as he looked at the armor design drawings made by Lan Guanghong overnight. He wished he could submit the drawings on the spot so that he could see the real thing the next second.

But this is impossible, and even the finished product cannot be produced for a long time.

After finally calming down, Ozawa shook his head and sighed, "It's theoretically possible, but it's too advanced! It's simply impossible to make it with current technology."

"That's such a shame." Blue Light Red shook his head with feigned regret. "Nothing else, let's continue researching the enhanced version of G2."

Ozawa Orange: ...

It's like suddenly jumping from the FC red and white console to the NS. It would be fine if she had never seen it, but now that she saw such an attractive design, how could she still concentrate on working on the G series?

"You have a way, right?" Ozawa suddenly pressed Lan Guanghong's shoulder and asked enthusiastically, "You have a way to make this armor, right?!"

She looked as if if Lan Guanghong could just utter the word "no", she would swallow him up on the spot.

He could only nod and smile, "Yes, I do."
