Xia Chuan opened his eyes under a beam of sunlight from the window. His pupils briefly turned white and then returned to normal, and his consciousness gradually woke up from the memories of the continuous battle.
It feels like a dream, but extremely real.
"Hiss!"
The severe soreness in his muscles brought Xia Chuan back to reality. When he stood up, he discovered that there were bruises everywhere on his body, and even white crystals left by dried sweat.
What's going on? Isn't it just a shuttle of consciousness?
How come there are traces of battle on the body?
Xia Chuan lowered his head to check the abdominal belt.
The shuttle has become Kuuga's belt, but unlike in "Kuga", it is now more like a piece of equipment rather than directly integrated into transforming his body.
Race: Human
Lifespan:35/200
Physique: Full Knight Transformation lv2
Life level:E
Level: Level 1
Material: Kuuga (fusion coefficient 99)
……
Sure enough, even if the Gurungi clan was destroyed, their physical fitness could not be improved.
It seems that the system panel can only be used in this world.
"Wow!"
The Kuuga belt automatically faded and disappeared under Natsu Chuan's gaze, and then shone and reappeared again under Natsu Chuan's movement.
It is much more convenient than THEBEE's belt, and after summoning the belt, strong energy will continue to flow into the body even if it does not transform. The transformation can be completed during battle, and there will be no oolong scenes like those of THEBEE wearers. "Last night, a large-scale thunderstorm broke out at Mount Kuro in Nagano Prefecture. According to the report of the mountain rescue investigation team afterwards, the incident occurred at the excavation site of the ruins of Mount Kuro, and it is suspected that a large-scale explosion occurred..."
"According to the information provided by the meteorological observatory, the unknown thunderstorm was very sudden that night... Only two tourists have been killed so far. Further information is waiting to be announced by the police."
"Is there really a curse?"
"Kurōdake Ruins."
Xia Chuan's ears twitched slightly, hearing the sound of news reports coming from the izakaya downstairs, and quickly turned on the TV in the living room.
What appeared on the screen was a TV station's aerial footage. You could see that a large area around the ruins had exploded, and the mountains covered with dense woods had become scorched and messy, with broken trees everywhere.
The terrain is almost exactly the same as that of the super ancient killing field.
The reporter may not have paid much attention, but having participated in the game, he could clearly see that one of the muddy areas full of potholes was the location where he destroyed all the Gurungi of the Ge Group.
"What's going on? Are those Grunki resurrected in this world?"
Why?
Coincidence or...
Xia Chuan looked at the empty belt in his belly again.
He's not the only one who has used the shuttle, so it shouldn't have anything to do with him, right?
Otherwise, the world would have been in chaos long ago.
……
Afternoon.
The site of the ruins of Mount Kuro.
Xia Chuan looked down at the explosion site blocked by the police on the side of the mountain road. After staring at the entrance of the ruins cave for a while, he crossed the blockade with his ID and finally successfully found the muddy land that flashed across the news footage.
Just by taking a glance, scenes of weird people's arms sticking out of the ground naturally appeared in his mind.
There was still a vague feeling of deep resentment at the scene.
"Kuuga!!"
"Kamiyong?"
Asami Hiroko passed by with a young policewoman wearing glasses and a ponytail, and she couldn't help but let out a chuckle when she spotted Natsukawa.
"Why are you here?"
“I’m a little concerned after reading the news.”
Xia Chuan gathered his thoughts, his face paralyzed and slightly confused.
"Are you transferred to work in Nagano?"
"No," Asami Hiroko explained, "I am now the investigator of the Kamen Rider Support Team, responsible for providing intelligence support to Kamen Rider. This is my new partner Takahashi."
The young policewoman pushed up her glasses and seemed particularly interested in the "senior" Xia Chuan.
"Hello, I am Takahashi Kazumi. I have always heard Hiroko-senpai talking about you..."
"Ahem, Takahashi, go check out the situation first."
Asami Hiroko pulled Takahashi Kazumi over, and after sending her new partner away, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked Natsukawa.
"What's the result? Was it successful? If it doesn't work..."
"The result was okay," Xia Chuan said frankly without thinking more about Gulangi, "It's just that the fight was a bit tiring, there were too many weirdos."
"Weird? What weirdo?"
Asami Hiroko was slightly stunned.
"After entering the knight space, didn't you randomly fight a knight? As long as you persist for a certain period of time, you can bind the corresponding knight system... Kaminaga, didn't you pass?"
"Fight with the knight?"
Xia Chuan paused.
The so-called knight space dungeon task is to fight the knight, or even only need to persist for a certain period of time?
So what's going on with him?
It feels like the difference is too big.
It's like trying to clear the game for a few days, only to be told that a few minutes of trial play is enough.
Aimed at him, right?
"Kamiyong?"
Seeing that Natsukawa was silent, Asami Hiroko comforted her.
"It's okay. Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future. Maybe I wasn't ready the first time."
"Uh..."
"I almost forgot," before Natsukawa could explain, Asami Hiroko suddenly laughed and said, "The captain is now the principal of the Knight School, and he said he wanted you to work there."
"Knight school?" Xia Chuan looked surprised, "Is there such a school?"
"It is a newly established one-year special training school," Asami Hiroko explained, "It is true that Kamen Rider is very powerful, but its initial ability is too weak, uneven, and its abilities are seriously deficient in all aspects. The superiors feel that it is necessary
Reduce knights' shortcomings through training to avoid unnecessary casualties."
"Sounds good, but what should I do? Be a teacher?"
Xia Chuan shook his head slightly.
"I don't think I can get along with those Kamen Riders."
When he thought about the Kamen Rider he met, he really didn't have a good impression.
Ordinary people suddenly gain power, and their mentality will be somewhat problematic. Being a teacher for these guys is simply asking for trouble.
"To be precise, it should be a mentor. The captain feels that as a former public security elite, you cannot continue to be so decadent, so he applied for the mentor qualification for you in advance, and the salary is the same as before."
Asami Hiroko said seriously.
"Think about it, Kaminaga, do you want to remain suspended? Become a Kamen Rider instructor, and maybe you will have the opportunity to return to the Ministry of Public Security in the future."
"I don't want to go back for a long time."
Xia Chuan shook his head again.
"But I can give the tutor job a try. When will I report?"
He is not very interested in the tutor, but he does need a job now, and he cannot remain without income.
"Next week, I will take you there."
Asami Hiroko smiled happily, made an appointment with Natsukawa, and her steps were much more brisk when she left.
After meeting up with her partner Kazumi Takahashi, Asami Hiroko suddenly grabbed a handful of Takahashi's buttocks in professional clothes: "Okay, let's go back today."
"Senior!" Takahashi Kazumi tensed her legs. When she saw it was Hiroko Asami, she could only follow her with a red face.
"..."
Xia Chuan watched calmly as the two got into the car and drove away from the scene.
His situation is still not very safe. It is better not to let Asami Hiroko know about binding Kuuga for the time being.
This former teammate has already helped him a lot and cannot be involved in danger anymore.
……
"Boom!"
At night.
A dark shadow sneaked into the sealed ruins site, and with the help of the thunderstorm, a petrified Kuga belt was pulled out from nowhere.
However, at the moment when he was about to run out of the ruins, the black shadow suddenly stopped and looked at the snake-shaped Gurungi monster blocking the road ahead, with a look of horror on his face in the lightning flash.
"Kuuga?"
The snake-shaped Gurungi pierced the black shadow's neck with one hand, looked directly at the petrified belt and uttered a strange sound. There was both fear and anger in the strange man's eyes.
Tear!
Throwing away the black shadow corpse that was broken like rags, the weird voice in the snake-shaped Gurungi's mouth intensified, and he was desperate to destroy the belt.
But before the attack could land, a red knight image suddenly flashed through the night rain, and the snake-shaped Gurungi's body exploded violently and was thrown away.
"Bang——!"
"Huh?"
The red knight stopped and looked at where the snake-shaped Gurungi landed.
After a short period of black mist, this snake-shaped monster actually condensed its body again and appeared intact in the rain.
"Immortal?"
The red knight's voice was cold, and he lightly patted the side of his belt. He moved at high speed again and blasted the snake-shaped Gurungi. The red beetle's figure was handsome and powerful in the heavy rain.
Kabuto kabuto.
Natsukawa's transformed Kuuga walked through the rain curtain and stood at the edge of the woods, observing the battle in the rain without moving, catching the figure of the red knight through his super vision.
CLOCK UP is indeed a bit abnormal, and you need to concentrate to catch the opponent's high-speed moving afterimage.
Fortunately, the opponent is not nearly invincible yet, and he can barely handle it now.
After all, he knows CLOCK UP very well, and even turned it on once using THEBEE.
"Bang——!"
A loud explosion was heard in the rain again, but no matter how Jiato attacked, the snake-shaped Gurungi was able to be resurrected repeatedly, as if it could not be killed no matter what.
Xia Chuan was slightly surprised.
He had killed this snake-shaped Gurungi before, and it was not that troublesome at all.
Mutation?
Seeing the snake-shaped Gurungi avoiding the armor and running towards him, Xia Chuan stopped watching and walked out from behind the tree with his right foot burning, and suddenly kicked the snake-shaped Gurungi back.
"Uh-huh!!"
Different from before, seal words appeared on the chest of the snake-shaped Gurungi in mid-air. After a short delay, it was completely exploded into countless fragments, and no more black mist was generated.
"What?!"
Jiado, who was chasing after him, was suddenly startled, his blue eyes fixed on Xia Chuan who turned and walked away.
