Masked Rider: Infinite Journey

How did it become sunny after the rain?

After thinking for a while, he suddenly interrupted and asked, "Um, let me ask, Keitaro, what's your online name?"

"My name is 'Messenger of Justice'. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

“…Nothing.” Lan Guanghong drank the milk coffee in one gulp, frowned and crumpled the paper cup in his hand.

It’s different. In the play, Keitaro’s online name is also his real name “Keitaro”, but here both he and Yuka’s online names have changed.

In fact, he discovered the discrepancy when he was at the dock. According to the original plot, there should have been a familiar-looking Aofei driving a black business car waiting to snatch the belt, but in the end he was called away by Ms. SB and the action was aborted.

Knowing this, he paid attention as soon as he got off the boat, but he didn't see the man.

Coupled with the subtle changes in the two main characters, Lan Guanghong immediately became alert.

——Is this the natural difference between reality and special effects, or is someone playing tricks again?

Don't be careless, be careful in your recent actions.

...After a short rest at the gas station, Lan Guanghong went to the Tokyo SB Club building with them.

Standing at the door, as several people were looking up at the building, he suddenly had a new idea.

"Let's say goodbye here. I have something to do, Ciao~" He waved at the three laundry giants and, without waiting for their response, rode off on his Combat Locust, leaving them bewildered.

"Eh? Didn't he say he was curious about why SB Club makes belts? Why is he leaving here again?"

"Don't worry about him, he's so mysterious, let's go in." The impatient Qiao strode in first, and Mari and Keitaro hurriedly followed.

As they walked through the spacious hall, they didn't know that the hall was actually filled with cameras, clearly recording their every move.

This is also the reason why Lan Guanghong no longer acts with them, because he knows that this SB club is actually the base camp of Orpheus, and the current president Murakami Gorge is an extreme Orpheus supremacist. His goal is to start a war between Orpheus and humans and achieve the ultimate victory in this war.

To this end, he encouraged all the Offi to hunt humans to increase their companions. If any Offi disagreed with this idea and was unwilling to attack humans, he would eventually send people to ruthlessly kill them. He was also the one who sent the Offi to hunt down the Truth to seize the belt.

There is another key point. If there really is a guy like Hiden Kio in this world, then the possibility that he is lurking in SB Club is the greatest.

As the villain, SB is the top company in Tokyo and even in the whole of Japan. No matter its power, financial strength and resources, it is not comparable to the protagonist group's laundry shop and the Meteoric Academy team with Kaixa belts.

Even Lan Guanghong couldn't help but want to join such a convenient force, not to mention some possible enemies.

Therefore, he suddenly decided to separate from Qiao and the others to avoid being exposed too early and to try another possibility.

"Mr. Nagano Daigu?" The receptionist looked at the gentlemanly young man in a neat suit and gold-rimmed glasses in confusion.

"Yes, I am Nagano Daigu." The gentleman young man adjusted his glasses, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a handsome and polite smile.

This person was naturally Lan Guanghong. After Zhenli and Qiao were forced to leave because they did not have ID cards, he walked to the front desk in disguise and confidently reported his identity as a new member.

——Of course he was justified. He transformed into the Mechanical Knight by hacking into the server. With the level of technology in this world, there was absolutely no way to find any flaws.

"please wait for a moment."

Polite and handsome guys always make people like them. Although she didn't receive any notification, the girl at the front desk immediately helped him check the employment details.

"Well, you are indeed a new employee of our company. Welcome aboard, Mr. Nagano."

"Thank you, can I come in?"

"Of course, this way, please." The girl enthusiastically led him to the elevator and thoughtfully pressed the floor number for him: "Your boss is Director Toda. Just go upstairs and report directly to him."

"I see. Thank you. I'll buy you coffee next time."

Smiling and waving goodbye, the elevator closed its doors and began to rise. Lan Guanghong, who was alone, was still smiling.

Because a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

——"Dagu, it's still useless!"

"Ahhhhh...!!!"

Chapter 130 Ah, mother, Zong!

He went upstairs and, under the guidance of an employee with a strange look, stood outside a meeting room.

According to the employee, Director Toda was in a meeting and all he had to do was wait outside for him to call someone.

However, the thin wooden door was as if non-existent in front of Lan Guanghong's keen hearing. He even turned on his detection eyes and watched the conversation between the three White Bone Demons inside with interest.

Blu-ray Red:?

Damn, the power has become stronger again.

He slowly reduced the energy output of the detection eye until the skeleton regained its human appearance, and then he continued to watch with interest.

The people inside were none other than the young master Kiba Yuji and the crane sister Nagata Yuka. Sitting opposite them was Toda Eiichi, who looked particularly familiar to him.

At this moment, Toda, dressed in black and looking very manly, is explaining the basic knowledge of Orpheus to the two newcomers.

"A native species refers to an Orphino that has revived directly after experiencing death, without the help of others. A derivative species is an Orphino that has become one with the help of others."

"Both types of Orphino are essentially the same, but the native type is usually more powerful..."

After watching for a while, Blue Light's red ears moved slightly, and he suddenly raised his foot and walked to the corner, and "just happened" to meet a person walking towards the meeting room.

"Hey, what are you doing?" he asked first.

The visitor was startled and said softly, "I'm a part-time worker, they asked me to come here..."

"Oh, it's you! You're here just in time." He patted the man's shoulder and pointed to the corridor on the other side. "The toilet in the director's office is clogged. Go clear it."

Upon hearing this, the part-time employee's eyes widened in shock, staring blankly at Lan Guanghong.

"What are you standing there for? Go ahead."

“I, I…” The part-time employee was about to cry: “I don’t know how!”

"What? If you can't even do this, what's the use of you!" Lan Guanghong pointed angrily in the direction of the elevator: "Climb!"

"Wow~" the part-time employee ran away in tears.

Lan Guanghong looked at his back and nodded with satisfaction.

Very good, I helped someone save a life today, merit +1, I feel so good.

When he returned to the door, Toda just said the key sentence.

"But we can add companions."

"Add, companions?" Muchang looked puzzled.

Lan Guanghong knew that it was time for him to appear!

Click~

"Excuse me." Lan Guanghong gently opened the door to the conference room and acted like a newbie in the workplace. "I'm a new employee. May I ask who is Director Toda?"

"I'm waiting for you." Toda replied in a deep voice.

"Oh~" Lan Guanghong stepped forward quickly: "Hello, Director, I am..."

Before he could finish, Toda Eiichi suddenly stood up and the lights in the conference room dimmed.

"Eh? What happened?!"

Under the blue-red "horrified" gaze, gray lines suddenly appeared on Toda Eiichi's face, and then his body quickly changed into the gray-white squid Ophiino.

The stronger Ophino's power is, the whiter his body becomes. Judging from Toda's appearance, he should be just an ordinary derivative species.

However, the fact that he was entrusted with the important task of teaching new partners as an ordinary derivative species was enough to show that he was deeply trusted by Murakami Kyoji. His loyalty to Murakami and his familiarity with increasing partner business were probably second to none in a real SB club.

"This Gou Wang Badan is no longer a human being. We have to find a way to get rid of him!" Looking at Toda who raised a stick towards him, Lan Guanghong made a secret decision.

But for now, the show must go on.

A ball of black ink spurted out from the tip of the squid Aoife's stick. Lan Guanghong quickly raised his hand to block it, but the ink seemed to have life and seeped into the body through the pores of the skin.

And then... he was completely petrified by the emperor.

Lan Guanghong pretended to be hit, immediately closed his eyes and fell straight to the ground.

This scene shocked Kiba and Yuka.

But within two seconds, Lan Guanghong suddenly opened his eyes again, and a gleam of light flashed in his pupils.

“Oh~~!!!”

He stood up, clenched his fists, and roared as if he felt a powerful torrent of energy: "My power is boiling, my soul is burning!"

"I am already invincible!"

"Oh! Did you win the prize?!" Toda, who originally just wanted to conceal the method of increasing companions, was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that this person was actually converted successfully.

But now that he is alive again, he is my companion and I can no longer treat him casually like I did before.

As for the possibility that this person was faking being infected...

nonexistent!

Toda is very confident in his ink. This is his unique transformation method. As long as it is shot, the ink will seep into the human body through every tiny gap, and there is absolutely no possibility of escape.

However, this was the first time that a human was successfully transformed in the tutorial, so Toda, with a happy face, kindly asked Lan Guanghong to sit next to Muba, and specifically explained the basic tutorial of Orphino to him.

Lan Guanghong, who was sitting well, pretended to listen with great interest throughout the whole process, and finally excitedly expressed his loyalty to SB Club.

"Hahaha, that's great. I don't want to be a stupid human anymore."

As he spoke, he snatched the stick-like weapon from Toda, who was still in the form of Orphee, and held it horizontally with both hands. He held his breath, raised his leg, and kicked it hard.

click!

With a crisp sound, the stick was broken into two pieces.

Toda:? ? ?

"What are you doing?" He snatched the stick back and stroked it back and forth with heartache.

You know, this is his most beloved treasure. Once it is broken, it will take at least three days to grow back!

Wow, that’s some great strength. Are the newlyweds’ knees made of iron?

"Sorry! This is our loyalty ceremony. I was too excited just now, and subconsciously..." Lan Guanghong asked cautiously: "Senior, you won't blame me, right?"

"Haha, no, no." Toda returned to his human form, his face was full of anger, but when he thought that the person in front of him was still a newcomer, he finally forced himself to suppress his anger.

"Huh~" He took a long breath, his expression returned to calm, and he said, "Since you are Ophiino, then you should change first, let me see what type you are."

"Okay, senior!" Lan Guanghong agreed and closed his eyes.

after awhile.

He opened his eyes and asked in confusion, "Senior, how did it change?"

Toda:……

"Don't be nervous. Think of something that can stimulate your emotions first. When your emotions are high, you will naturally change. It will be very convenient when you are familiar with it later."

"Oh, I understand, senior." Lan Guanghong nodded, and suddenly a ferocious look appeared on his face.

"Ahhhhh... Mom, Zong!"

Toda:?

"Ahem, failed. I'll try again." He coughed dryly and suddenly clenched his fists in grief and anger: "Oh oh oh oh... Sayoko!"

Toda: ...Who is grandma's Sayoko?

As if knowing what he was thinking, Lan Guanghong explained honestly: "Sayako is the wife of a high school principal. She is supposed to die next year."

Toda:? ? ?

Chapter 131 Running in both directions

After struggling for a long time and seeing that the blue light still couldn't change to red, Toda had no choice but to tell him not to worry, go back and relax and try again.

"Well, let's stop here today. Tomorrow I'll take you to experience the survival style of Orphino firsthand." Toda stood up with his hands on his knees and said to Lan Guanghong, "Dagu, since you have become Orphino, you should stay at Smart Brain from now on. Kiba, can you let him live with you first?"

"Ah? Yes, sure." Kiba Yuji nodded in agreement.

After all, his current residence was arranged by Smart Brain. Since Toda said he wanted to squeeze one more person in, it would be difficult for Kiba to refuse given his good nature.
