"A small meteorite from the universe fell to the earth, and the streets of Shibuya turned into rubble. I became an orphan and my memory became blurred..."
"The only thing we know is that things from the universe are not just meteorites."
"Will the angel who saved us appear again?"
Minato Ward, Shiba Park.
Kusakabesu stretched out on the grass, picked up his sketchbook and stared at the clear sky.
There seems to be something special about the clouds on this day.
"call!"
Catching a snowflake falling in the sky, you can vaguely see the light of stars.
"Same as that day..."
"Wow——!"
Chi Park Sal Restaurant.
Xia Chuan opened his eyes, and his indifferent pupils quickly regained their human luster.
Entered the copy.
The not too big restaurant has neat tables and chairs, checkered tablecloths, green plant bouquets, light yellow soft chandeliers, and a warm and elegant layout.
Through the window, you can see the female store manager cleaning the kitchen.
The colorful headscarf looks like a cleaning lady, but in every detail, you can tell that she is the one who decorates this restaurant. She has good makeup, and wears an ordinary apron very fresh and natural, just like the sister next door.
What is your identity this time?
Xia Chuan looked down at the broom in his hand and the black restaurant apron.
Store clerk?
As in the past, the first step is to analyze your own situation and collect information as soon as possible to understand the current world.
Compared to other knights, this is his advantage.
After all, there is the original plot to refer to, and no matter how it changes, there are traces to follow.
It's just a little bit special this time.
Fujiwara No. 1 became an unexpected factor.
Xia Chuan pondered his thoughts.
The panel is still there, the main body has entered, and all knight systems can be mobilized.
The world is quite friendly to him.
"Kagami!"
The female store manager put her hands on her hips and turned around, almost as if she hated the fact that iron cannot become steel.
"How long do you want to clean? You don't have time for your date with Xiaoxu, right?"
"Kagami?"
Xia Chuan's face moved slightly.
It sounds like this is the restaurant where Kagami Arata and Kusakabe Suzuki work part-time.
He replaced that one-dimensional guy?
Is this considered a customs clearance benefit?
As the son of a high-ranking ZECT police chief, Kagami Mihin is also a member of ZECT. This status is undoubtedly much better than just a passerby.
The next thing you need to do is find out the boss character of this world.
Generally speaking, defeating the boss is one of the conditions for clearing the level, but it is not particularly easy to find the boss in this world.
Xia Chuan casually put down his broom, took off his apron and left the restaurant.
Let’s go to the Metropolitan Police Department first.
"Kagami?"
The female store manager was stunned and let go of the rag.
"Is this kid... getting more courageous?"
"What's wrong, store manager?"
Kusakabesu happened to come back from outside. He saw a broom and an apron beside him, and his delicate and slightly introverted face showed a clear expression.
"Is it that Kagami guy again? If this continues, that guy will be fired, right?"
Metropolitan Police Department.
Xia Chuan waited in the rest area for about half an hour before a young man with glasses answered him with a cold face.
"follow me."
The disgust and contempt on the bespectacled young man's face was undisguised.
"Remember your identity for me. Even if you are the son of a commander, you are still just a low-level soldier."
"go in."
Natsukawa was brought into an empty guest room, where the silver-haired police chief Kagami Riku crossed his fingers and leaned back on a swivel chair.
"It's really rare that you actually come to me on your own initiative."
"I need information about the zerg," Natsukawa observed Kagamiri carefully, "real information."
Feeling slightly confused.
The same characters, but different developments.
In the previous timeline, this was the same guy who worked with the zerg to attract meteorites.
"You brat, watch your tone!"
The face of the young man with glasses was slightly distorted.
"Sir, I am not just your father!"
"Mishima!"
Kagami Riku waved his hand, signaling the bespectacled young man to retreat.
"You go out first, I'll have a good chat with him."
"yes."
The bespectacled young man glanced at Xia Chuan with a sullen expression, wiped his fingers and exited the room with a gloomy expression.
"It's almost time to tell you."
After the bespectacled young man left, Kagamiri seemed relieved and looked at Natsukawa again as if he had taken off his disguise.
"After so many years, I can say that I have sacrificed everything and need to hide it in front of my family... zect was actually founded by the protozoa, and I am just a servant of the protozoa."
"protozoan?"
Xia Chuan paused his fingers slightly.
This restarted world is different from Jiado TV, but it seems that protozoa and zerg branches have also appeared.
"I met the protozoa 35 years ago, and I was responsible for the development of the knight system with my friends. For the final battle in the future, I wrote your name on the plan. I hope you can become a steel bucket to eliminate the zerg and protozoa..."
Kagami Riku held back tears and maintained his fatherly image.
"We have no choice. We have obeyed our orders and endured humiliation for 35 years, just to give you, the younger generation, a chance to change the world."
"Become a steel pipe," Kagami Riku said sincerely and stood up excitedly, "Only in this way will you be qualified to pursue the truth!"
Xia Chuan did not respond.
He was very sure that this was the continuation of the world he had changed using the sea worm.
But something obviously changed after that, and things were not as simple as he thought.
It's obviously a world he reset by his own hands, so why does it seem to be related to Jiado TV?
There is an additional timeline from 35 years ago.
…
Underground Experimental Center.
Accompanied by continuous sirens, a combatant broke through the alloy door and flew out screaming. When the alloy door closed again, a floating blue insect instrument could be vaguely seen.
"Keep experimenting!"
The bespectacled young man Masato Mishima led Natsukawa into the experimental center and shouted to wake up the panicked researchers.
After a while, the new candidate put on the zect belt and entered the alloy gate, and loud noises were heard again in the underground space.
Even the specially made alloy walls were continuously deformed after being hit, and the candidates inside were attacked by the steel bucket insect instrument as if they were being tortured.
"Too dangerous!"
"Stop the experiment!"
"Don't worry about it," Mr. Sandao pushed up his glasses, "it's up to the steel bucket insect meter to decide when to stop..."
"boom--!"
The alloy door broke open again.
Although the candidate was wearing Ant-Soldier armor and a belt, he was severely damaged by the steel bug meter attack.
The surrounding medical staff rushed forward to treat him.
"Hey, cheer up!"
"It still failed, the matching degree is only 19%."
Masato Mishima watched the candidates being carried away with cold eyes, then turned back and asked Natsukawa.
"Want to try? Several experimenters have almost died, and no one has a matching score of more than 30%."
Xia Chuan reached out and took the zect belt where the current had dissipated.
There are actually only two real core knight systems in this world, one is the armor battle, and the other is the steel battle in front of you.
It seems that if you want to dig out the truth, you must first become a steel bucket.
The alarm sounded again, and Natsukawa put on the zect belt and walked into the alloy door while Masato Mishima sneered.
The steel insect instrument with a blue body inside had already been suspended, and flew to Xia Chuan like an explorator to observe repeatedly. After a while, he distanced himself again and launched a collision.
The prototype is also a stag beetle, but its style is completely different from Kuuga's.
"Bang bang bang!"
Xia Chuan turned sideways to avoid the steel bucket insect instrument and watched quietly as the alloy wall was knocked into dents.
The users of the two core belts have already been determined from the beginning of development, and the others are destined to be just foils.
but.
Maybe he's not really Kagami Arata, but the result is the same.
"Whoa!"
Xia Chuan suddenly stretched out his hand and seized the opportunity to grab the steel insect instrument.
"100% match."
"What?"
Office of the Inspector General of Police.
A group of hooded men stood in front of the groveling Kagamiri, with a lofty attitude.
"You let your child participate in the experiment?"
"Yes, my friends," Kagami said with a smile, "This was also the original plan. With the steel bucket here, the zerg will definitely be eliminated as soon as possible."
