My youth story cannot be a knight war

This is the charm of "story", which can enable people from different times and spaces to meet each other, and give rise to happiness and touching moments, and trust is naturally a given.

Even though we are in two different worlds, we have truly walked side by side in our hearts, so I choose to believe in you, it's that simple.

Of course, this is because the mastermind behind this is Mr. Thomas, known as the Promised Superman. If the person who did this was a leader of the Xinxin Sect who regarded human life as nothing, Xu Guoliang would probably be considering whether he should leave a will in advance and write down the name of the real murderer to warn the next unlucky person who might succeed him.

He looked at the page with an expression so complicated that it was hard to describe. Sometimes he was happy, sometimes he was moved, and sometimes he was angry... The emotions in his eyes were like a pie chart multiplied by multiples. Even a master of micro-expressions would find it difficult to see Xu Guoliang's inner thoughts through his emotions at this moment.

Suddenly, Xu Guoliang stretched out his palm towards the page of the book. His movements were very slow, as if he was using a magnifying glass to slow down the video at least sixteen times. But no matter how slow the process was, he still kept covering the torn page of the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence with his palm.

At the last second before it was about to touch the page, the hand paused. Although it was only inches away from the torn page, it could no longer press down.

"—"

Xu Guoliang took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and covered it with his palm.

When your palm touches the pages of the book, it feels warm and smooth, not like touching the pages of a book, but like touching an object like jade.

Xu Guoliang stared blankly at the torn page in his hand, feeling the power transmitted into his body through the touch of his limbs, and his own unchanged body. His eyes behind his glasses widened uncontrollably.

As a special effects fan who has bought all the knight setting collections, he certainly knows what this phenomenon means.

Without the assistance of special means, one needs qualifications to directly use the power of the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence, and this qualification is a clear and peaceful heart. If there is even a trace of evil in one's heart, one will lose this qualification.

If an unqualified person forcibly seizes the pages and uses the power, the whole person will be directly corroded by the powerful force and turned into Megiddo, and even the heart will be distorted. This is the case with Raziel and Zios of the Origin Five.

Even if one is fully prepared, if one has an evil heart, one will still be eroded by this power. The most typical negative example is the Lord of Truth. As the time he used his omnipotent power to control the book increased, his IQ was almost burned out in the end. This may not be just a side effect of controlling the book itself.

And now he can use the power of this page without any abnormality in his body, just like Mr. Thomas who used the magical omnipotence to control the book after being recognized. And this means that -

"I, have the qualifications to become a swordsman... a Kamen Rider?"

Suddenly, golden light bloomed on the torn pages, enveloping Xu Guoliang.

49. Write the story of the supporting characters

The golden light is warm but not scorching, like the fleeting scorching sun in winter, where the extreme cold and heat intertwine to form the most balanced warmth.

The glasses on Xu Guoliang's face reflected the golden glow, which gradually changed color, from dazzling gold to pure white. At the same time, he felt that the remaining page of the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence in his hand also changed accordingly. The thin page quickly expanded in feel and became thick and solid.

Finally, when the golden light completely transformed into white, the light covering the space gradually dissipated, the light on the lenses disappeared, revealing the trembling eyes.

At this moment, the torn page that was originally held in his hand had disappeared, replaced by a thick white book.

This book has about five pages in total. The back cover and the front cover are extremely thick. Inside are three pages with golden edge. The golden edge wraps the edge of the entire book. The cover is a mysterious and fantasy world. The elements of mountains and water, heaven and earth are all integrated in it. Luxury and low-key are perfectly coordinated in this book.

"—"

Looking at the book in his hand, Xu Guoliang couldn't help but hold his breath, and even his heart seemed to stop beating.

Of course he knew what this book was. It was a fantasy driving book used by the Saber Kamen Riders to transform. Inside was a heritage written in mysterious words. After opening the pages, special powers would be revealed. When using the matching driver or blade, the power of the book could be fully stimulated to transform into the corresponding knight.

Fantasy driving books are generally divided into three categories: books about mythical beasts, books about biology, and story books. Each type of book has its own different powers, and the books are divided into large and small types.

Although the book in front of Xu Guoliang had never appeared in the original work, the specifications of this book undoubtedly belonged to a large book, and except for the color, the appearance was almost exactly the same as the Book of Controlling Almighty Power held by the Lord of Truth and the Book of Controlling Magical Power held by Stellus.

But unlike the magnificent and grand book of controlling the power of almighty and the evil and awe-inspiring book of controlling the power of magic, this book, although decorated simply and gorgeously, gives people a feeling that is close to being simple and monotonous. Moreover, judging from the cover, this fantasy controlling book should belong to the type of story book.

The moment he saw this book, Xu Guoliang understood a fact.

This is his own book.

It is a unique book in this world, belonging only to "Xu Guoliang" and only he can use it.

This is a book created by the fragments of the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence after absorbing his own emotions, memories, and life, and concretizing the characteristics that Xu Guoliang possessed throughout his life. It is his exclusive fantasy book.

Just like Sakurai Keikazu's War God's Blade and Ukiyo Hidetoshi's MK9 Deduction, no one except themselves can use this power.

For a Kamen Rider fan, there is probably no more precious gift in the world than this, because it means that he is qualified to be recognized as the hero he once admired.

Holding this driving book, Xu Guoliang's other hand gradually covered the cover of the book, and his palm was trembling without even noticing it.

"THOUSANDS SENTIENT BEINGS!"

When his palm covered the cover, a male voice as solemn as an opera singer's lead singer, but with a clear and quiet tone, resounded throughout the space. Xu Guoliang was stunned when he heard it.

"Myriad living beings... control the book?"

Xu Guoliang's English is good, so he could naturally understand the Chinese meaning of this English sentence, but what really surprised him was the voice of the book, because it was his own voice.

In other words, the CV of this driving book is himself?

With an indescribable feeling of weirdness, Xu Guoliang reached out and opened the cover of the book, revealing the scene on the pages below.

The image on this page has a black background, with white figures resembling withered trees jumping out of the page. At the same time, the voice belonging to Xu Guoliang sounded again, speaking out the essence of the content and abilities recorded in this driving book.

"Even ordinary people can write their own heroes."

"The world will open a brand new story!"

“Even if you are born ordinary, you can write your own heroic story… The world will begin a new story.”

After translating the meaning of the two verses of the hymn word for word and feeling the book's ability to convey information through touch, Xu Guoliang was completely stunned at this moment.

This book is not like the control books of the Lord of Truth and Stellius, which have the ability to automatically destroy the world as long as it is used. Compared with the former two, its combat and practical abilities can only be said to be average.

But in its potential, this book is terrifyingly powerful.

Because the power of this book is to create, or to find stories.

Many people know the concept of parallel universe. In physics, the parallel universe theory refers to the existence of multiple universes that are parallel to the main world and almost identical.

These parallel universes run "parallel" to the main universe. Some scientists believe that the biggest difference between these parallel universes and their own universe lies in the future produced by people's different options and decisions. These futures are often very different from the progress of the current world. The reason lies in the changes caused by the choices made at certain key nodes on the world's development path.

It is like the branches growing on a big tree, extending in completely different directions at a certain moment, and different worlds are born. The main world is reality, and other worlds are just possibilities. The reason is that people's observation causes the wave function of the direction of the world's progress to collapse, and the result is fixed. Therefore, other worlds become unobserved worlds and only become a potential possibility.

In other words, perhaps that world has the possibility of existing, but it will no longer be a well-known reality.

The ability of this book is to search for parallel worlds that have become possible existences, according to the wishes of the user.

But the key point is that it will only activate this ability according to the user's wishes, which means that the world it searches for is entirely determined by the user.

Moreover, this book can transform the parallel worlds found into images for playback. The playback method is based on the amount of mental power collected. Scarce mental power can only project images onto various tools, while abundant mental power can even be played without relying on any tools, which is the so-called - light curtain.

The power of the mind refers to people's inner emotions. People's thoughts have great power. This has been scientifically proven. To describe it with the terms that special effects fans understand, it is the power of idealism.

This "Book of Control for All Living Things" can collect the faith in people's hearts to strengthen itself, and the power of this faith can in turn strengthen the observation of parallel world lines. The speed of wave function collapse of that parallel world line will continue to accelerate with the observation. To put it simply, the future represented by that world line is gradually turning from possibility to reality.

In other words, this book can even create a completely new world line.

This is the truth behind Xu Guoliang's ability to create "stories". Everything he did before was actually to perfect this book. Until now, this book has finally been completely completed with the combined power of the heart.

But what stunned Xu Guoliang was not this point, but the conditions for using the book's ability - that is, this book will only search for the corresponding world line according to the user's wishes, and there will be no strange result of hoping to find Party A's world line but ending up with Party B's world line.

This book will only search for the world I hope for...the world that my heart desires.

Xu Guoliang slowly raised his head and looked forward. On the golden light curtain, "Kousaka Kyosuke" and "Zaimokuza Yoshiteru" were driving to Nagano Prefecture. The two figures walked side by side, flying like meteors on the long road with no end in sight.

Looking at the white-haired figure wearing a helmet among the two, Xu Guoliang's eyes were very empty at this moment, like a mirror that could not reflect anything.

I once thought that choosing you was just an accidental mistake, but...

What if you are actually the hero I'm really looking forward to?

Xu Guoliang suddenly covered his face with his hands and laughed out loud. The emotion in his laughter was indescribable.

He finally understood why this "story" did not develop according to his wishes from beginning to end. It was not because someone interfered or made trouble. The real reason was that even he himself did not see through his true inner wishes.

Xu Guoliang suddenly remembered a conversation he and his best friend had had before he left him.

——"Guo Liang, do you think people like us can also become Kamen Rider?"

——"What? You want to go to Japan to develop and audition for artists, and then participate in the casting of Kamen Rider?"

——"No, I mean, in the Kamen Rider series, will there ever be a Kamen Rider who is transformed by ordinary people like us and becomes the protagonist?"

——"What? Big brother, are you still awake from staying up all night last night? Ordinary characters like us want to become Kamen Rider? Putting aside other things, our looks alone are enough to eliminate us. We can't even pass the first round of auditions. How can we become the protagonist of Kamen Rider these days if we look ordinary? We should be accepted as a bit player or a supporting role."

——"I have no hope, but you do, Guoliang. After all, you are really good-looking."

——"Thank you for your kind words. It's time to go to class. Go wash your face and wake up, brother."

——"Well, just answer me one more question."

——"Go ahead."

——"If one day, we have saved enough money to make our own Kamen Rider movie, who would you choose as the protagonist?"

——"Huh? If one day I can really make a Kamen Rider movie myself, I will definitely choose one that I like... Well, just like you said before, choose a supporting role like us."

——"You think so too?"

——"It's just fantasy time, and it doesn't cost any money, so I just do what I like~"

The laughter stopped, Xu Guoliang covered his face and remained silent for a long time.

It was just a routine boring chat between friends, but it planted a seed deep in his heart.

He remembered everything, including everything that happened at the beginning when he came here.

At that very first moment, when I was about to choose who would be the protagonist, contrary to what I said, my true wish was—

If possible, I really want to see what kind of story it would be like if the supporting characters became the protagonists of Kamen Rider.

It was because of this desire that arose from the deepest part of my heart that that guy suddenly appeared.

Therefore, the supporting character who could only serve as a foil and was ignored in the original work, the one who was full of flaws and so similar to real us, was able to replace the position originally chosen by Hikigaya Hachiman and become the protagonist of this "story".

What a funny result. After going through so much circles, what I saw in the face of the truth I was seeking was what I really wanted.

"So, you've always been the hero I hoped for..."

Xu Guoliang put down his hands that were covering his face. He looked at the man on the screen and smiled. Tears oozed from the corners of his eyes.

"...Zaimuza Yoshiteru."

50. Vanishing into the Endless Darkness (4K)

"At that time...did you already see something?"

At this moment, Xu Guoliang's memory suddenly went back to that day, the day when he met that person and changed his destiny.

That day, when he gave himself the torn piece of manuscript paper for signature, he actually said something.

“Someone once told me that we might not be able to create our own stories, but I don’t think that really matters.”

"Because books contain a world vaster than the entire universe, ever since I was a child, I have been able to experience all kinds of adventures and all kinds of life through the stories recorded in books. They are all real to me and are unique treasures in my life."

"The stories I write can bring happiness to others, and I can gain new happiness from their happiness. So even if the story doesn't belong to me from the beginning, I don't care, because the happiness and touching moments that I and the readers gain from the same story are absolutely genuine, and that is enough."

"Mr. Xu, I believe you must have a story like this hidden in your heart. This story may not have been created by you in the beginning, but it definitely belongs to you, because the happiness you felt at the time was unique to you, and a story is something that can only be formed through secondary processing."

"Many people believe that the creation of a story is solely the work of the author, but this is a misconception. The creator writes the initial manuscript, and then, after reading the story, readers create a new story in their minds based on it, and derive new joy from it. The saying, 'There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers,' really refers to this principle."

"So I'm looking forward to the day when I can read the story you wrote, Xu Jun."

"If possible, I hope to be the first reader of your story."

……

The wave of memories ended here. Xu Guoliang closed his eyes, holding the driving book that belonged to him in his hands for a long time without saying a word.

At that time, although the other party spoke Japanese, Xu Guoliang still understood what he said, but he did not take it to heart.

He thought that the other party had been playing the role of "Kamiyama Touma" for too long, which caused him to start to lose the distinction between acting and reality, so even the way he spoke was so pretextive.

Just like the protagonist Cheng Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine", because he was too obsessed and immersed in the role, he could not tell which one was the real self, Xiao Douzi, or the fake self, Yu Ji. What's even more amazing is that in the end even the actor who played the role himself fell into it, immersed in the two false lives in the script and unable to extricate himself.

So at that time, Xu Guoliang thought that the other party was in the same state. After all, the entertainment industry in Japan is completely different from the relaxed and comfortable one in China. The level of competition in the environment is comparable to the second semester of high school students in China. Many actors can't get out of the script after acting.

Therefore, although the other party's words seemed a bit abrupt, Xu Guoliang still felt that actors from other countries were indeed different from those in China. He agreed to the request of the other party who was "too obsessed with the role" without hesitation, and was even a little worried about the other party's mental state.

And then? And then it became like this.

Xu Guoliang never thought that what the other party said at the time was all true and there was not a single falsehood in it.

His answer at that time was basically equivalent to signing a contract to sell himself. Although he has let it go, when he thinks about it now, Xu Guoliang still feels a surge of resentment in his heart.

"Can't you just use a normal invitation method? Can't you use something like a portal? What the hell is a dump truck dropping from the sky? You might as well just use a steamroller instead!"

After complaining bitterly, Xu Guoliang sighed tiredly. After sorting out everything, he just wanted to hold his forehead in silence.
