Masked Rider: Infinite Journey

"No, there's no hope." The doctor, known as the number one expert in mud bombs, pushed open the door of the ward and shook his head regretfully at George and the others waiting outside. "The patient is conscious now. Go talk to him. Time is running out."

"What?" George was about to grab the doctor's collar excitedly, but was held down by Abe next to him.

"Dr. Karisaki, is this the time to do this?!" Abe shouted at George, then his voice turned low and lost: "Go in and talk to him, he must be eager to see you now."

"...Yeah." George sniffed, suppressed his sadness and walked into the ward.

Inside the room, a man, as skinny as a stick, was lying on the hospital bed, dying.

It is hard to imagine how much pain a person must have gone through in just two days, transforming from an energetic scientist who is on par with young people to an old man who is frail and may die at any time.

Seeing old Karisaki like this, George could no longer hold back his tears and went up to grab the hand that Karisaki extended.

"Dad! Wuwuwu...why haven't you said anything yet?!"

"George~" This time, without the disguise of a mask, Karisaki's voice has become low and hoarse: "Let go!"

George: ?

After freeing himself from his son's tightly grasped hands, he slowly raised his index finger and pointed to the research coat he often wore beside the bed: "Inside pocket."

George was a little confused, but he quickly followed the instructions and looked through his inner pocket, pulling out a... business card?

"Divine Doctor Hua Qiang?"

"One, ten million!"

After leaving behind a number that sounded meaningless to George, Karisaki fell into coma again.

When he woke up again, his hearing and eyesight were sharp, and his mind was no longer as foggy as before. Aside from his body still feeling a little weak, everything else had returned to normal.

"Before, it was the father who saved the son, and this time it was the son who saved the father. Your family is quite interesting."

Doctor Hua pulled at his snow-white beard and warned Karisaki, who had just opened his eyes, "Be more restrained in the future. You're such a grown-up, but you don't have any sense of quantity. You almost ruined my reputation."

Karisaki:?

The next second, he realized that the doctor had misunderstood something and hurriedly explained, "No, I was possessed by a demon..."

"No need to explain. I, Huaqiang, have been treating patients all my life. What kind of strange illness haven't I seen? Don't worry, I won't look down on you." The old doctor patted his arm and smiled kindly. "Ten million, still the same account as last time. Also, I'm running a promotion recently. After collecting three treatments, you can get a 20% discount on the fourth. Would you consider it?"

Karisaki: "..."

"Next time definitely!"

The old doctor was knowledgeable and experienced, so he naturally understood what "next time" meant. He immediately turned around and left, but with a strong medical ethics, he still told George and the others before leaving: The operation was successful.

"Papa!" George was still the first one to rush into the ward, and was very excited to see old Karisaki almost recovered to his original appearance.

"George, I'm sorry." Old Karisaki's first reaction when he saw his son was to apologize. He felt that he owed George too much.

But George didn't care much: "No problem, I already know about Hick's situation."

"George..." Karisaki, who was about to say a few more words, suddenly saw Abe next to him, who seemed to be hesitant to speak. He immediately regained his leadership and asked, "What's wrong? Did anything happen while I was away?"

"Oh, something big has indeed happened." Abe rubbed his bald head and told Karisaki everything that had happened in the past few days.

First of all, when Akaashi was giving his second speech, expressing to people the idea that only by surrendering can one survive, Kif's true form appeared, and with his overwhelming strength, he knocked down two Kamen Riders, Ikki and Daiji, and with a wave of his hand, he turned the Phoenix Warriors who dared to attack him into ashes.

This terrifying power was broadcast live on the radio, causing countless people to panic.

Having lost their leader, Gorgom was unable to resist and could only watch as more and more people believed Akaashi's lies, believing that only by submitting to Kif could they face the future.

In addition, a Kamen Rider of unknown origin, Chimera, appeared under Akaashi's command, and his super combat power made up for Phoenix's lack of combat power.

As soon as Karisaki heard it, he knew that this was definitely the work of Shick, because Shick had all his abilities and it was not difficult for him to develop the Knight's Belt.

The reason why this demon coveted George was that his son possessed talents that were no less than his father's. If he could combine the wisdom of the father and son into one, he would become the most powerful demon scientist in the world.

Fortunately, Schick has not succeeded yet.

The last and most serious problem...

"What? Guanghong is missing!"

Karizaki had a bad feeling when he heard that Gorgom was leaderless, but he didn't expect the worst situation to really happen!

"What happened? Did he lose to Keef?"

"I don't know. After he talked to you and left that day, we haven't seen any trace of him since. No matter how hard we look, we can't find him."

Karisaki:? ? ?

Oh no! I didn't tell anyone about him going to the Outlaws base to look for Akaashi that day!

Suddenly throwing back the quilt, Karisaki shouted anxiously: "The Outlaws... Go to the Outlaws base and search, he must be there!"

Chapter 60: Prelude to Evolution

Under the base of the fugitives.

The ruins of the ancient palace were shattered by the energy released when the original demon was resurrected. It should have collapsed at that time.

However, a thick stone pillar miraculously supported the top of the underground world, holding up the place and preventing it from collapsing.

However, if you look closely, you will find that this miracle is man-made.

A black figure, which was quite small compared to the stone pillar, was pressing firmly under the stone pillar, using its solid body to act as the foundation to fix the stone pillar.

"what……"

Lan Guanghong exhaled lightly.

He no longer knew how much time had passed, nor whether it was day or night on Earth.

His physical strength was almost exhausted, and now he was relying entirely on his willpower to support his body.

"Can't fall down, otherwise..."

Akaashi didn't say what would happen above if this place collapsed, but it's easy to imagine that if a large piece of the underground was suddenly blown away, the chain reaction would definitely cause a terrible disaster on the ground.

So, don’t fall down yet!

"Guanghong! That's enough!" Falia pleaded in a tearful voice, "Leave! You'll die if you keep going like this!"

"It's okay." The red light in his eyes lit up slightly, and Lan Guanghong tried his best to comfort him: "Don't forget that I am the son of the sun. As long as there is the sun in this world, I will not die."

"Don't worry, we'll be fine."

After comforting Falia, he thought of the people he knew in this world.

Yukimi, Genta, Karisaki, Ikki, Daiji... Oh yeah, and Abe.

Dear friends and family~

——Come and save me quickly!!!

Just as he was praying, he suddenly heard a slight "ding ding" sound in his ears.

"Ok?"

Lan Guanghong suddenly looked up towards the place where the sound came from, but the sound disappeared after one sound.

"Is it an illusion?" He shook his head in disappointment, and laughed at himself inwardly that reality was not as coincidental as in special effects dramas.

"No, it's not an illusion!" Falia suddenly floated out of his body in the form of a demon. She looked at the stone wall above her head, her nose twitching twice, and shouted in surprise: "It's Ikki's demon, help is coming!"

"Uh-huh~, Ikki was right, there's definitely more space down there!" The illusory Whis penetrated the stone wall and was about to check if there was anyone there when he suddenly saw Faria flying towards him. He screamed in shock, "Uh-huh! There's a demon!"

"Eh? No, I'm a devil too." Thinking of Ikki right there, Weiss put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "Who are you? How dare you stand in my way, Weiss-sama..."

"I'm the Devil of Light and Red!" Falia interrupted Weiss's antics and pointed in the direction of the stone pillar: "Go tell Ikki and the others that Light and Red is down there. Tell them to come and rescue us!"

"Go now! If you delay, I'll have Ikki cover you in a screaming chicken and squeeze you a hundred times a day!"

"Go, just go." Weiss returned aggrieved, muttering, "As fierce as Master Lan, he really deserves to be his demon."

Falia no longer had the heart to pay attention to Weiss. She floated in front of Lan Guanghong and said happily, "They're here. If we hold on a little longer, we'll be out of trouble soon."

"Well, that's great." After hearing the good news, Lan Guanghong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shortly after Weiss returned, the sound of a drill was heard from above, and some small stones began to fall.

Finally, there was a crisp "click" sound, and a warm light suddenly appeared in front of the blue and red eyes.

……

Happy bathhouse.

Lan Guanghong held a large bowl of curry rice and gobbled it up, finishing the whole bowl in just a few minutes.

"Ah~ I'm alive." He stacked the bowl of empty food on top of a pile of soup bowls on the table, wiped his mouth with satisfaction, indicating that he was full.

George was stunned when he saw how much Lan Guanghong ate for the first time. As for the mother and daughter Xingshi who were cooking, they were so tired that they couldn't even lift their hands.

"Your appetite has become even more amazing, Guanghong."

"Nonsense, you were trapped for a week, and you can eat too." He opened a can of Ole Mi C Ton Ton and swallowed it. Lan Guanghong looked at Yuan Tai, whose spirit was very different from before, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Have you recovered your memory?"

"Well, the day Keef appeared, I remembered everything." Yuantai said, and casually took out the Bell drive he used from behind his waist, put it on the table and pushed it towards George.

"Dr. Karizaki-chan, could you please help me modify this so that it can transform without the need for a demon?"

"No." George shook his head decisively.

Yuantai's face froze.

Abe quickly tried to smooth things over, "Yuanta, it's not that the doctor doesn't want to help you, it's because..."

"Our organization has no funds!"

Blu-ray red, Yuantai:?

"That's it. Even Ikki and Daiji's new sin seal development work was forced to stop." George rubbed his eyes and spread his hands: "There's nothing I can do."

"You are still short of money? How could our great Gorgom fall to this state!" Lan Guanghong acted as if he was deeply distressed.

Hearing this, George lowered his head in shame.

——It’s all my fault, father and I. The two treatments used up all the organization’s savings and caused trouble for our idol.

"As the leader, I have to solve this problem for everyone!" Lan Guanghong then changed the subject and began to pat his chest with a promise: "Tell me, besides funding, is there anything else you're short of? Like equipment or something?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" George's eyes lit up and he quickly spit out a bunch of nouns that normal people could not understand at all.

Lan Guanghong felt a headache after hearing this, and he immediately reached out to stop her, saying, "Stop! Give me a list later, and I'll get it for you tomorrow."

"Okay!" George took out a notebook with a happy face and started making a list on the spot.

At this time, Yihui opened the curtain and walked into the hall, shouting to Lan Guanghong: "Master, the water is already boiled, you can take a bath anytime."

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Lan Guanghong put his hands on his knees, glanced around and asked, "Anyone want to go with me?"

Everyone present immediately shook their heads like rattles.

George was a little different. He looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time. Finally, he shook his head regretfully and refused.

Although he also wanted to take a bath with his idol, after being trapped underground for seven days, Lan Guanghong smelled almost the same as an old zongzi. When he was scalded by hot water, the smell was so sour that you can imagine.

Seeing no one respond, Lan Guanghong pouted, got up and went to the bathtub.

There was no one in the huge bathhouse. Today, the bathhouse was open only for him.

Stepping into the pool and sitting down, Lan Guanghong let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that every cell in his body had come alive again.

"It feels so good~."

After soaking for a while, he raised his right hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The power of the Emperor Stone was activated, and a shadow of a knight appeared in his hand, but he did not transform.

Lan Guanghong just wanted to confirm the extra thing on his wrist.

——It was a golden square-shaped ornament with a red mark on it that looked like a knight's face.

Blu-ray Red recognizes this thing, it is the sequel to Black in the play, the accessory on Kamen Rider Black RX's right hand.

That is to say...

"Hiss~, could it be that I'm going to evolve?!"

Chapter 61 Overnight Revenge

Lan Guanghong didn't know when this accessory appeared. After he came out of the restored underground ruins, he found this thing on his wrist.
