I'm in a Kamen Rider group, and I've joined a tokusatsu chat group.

Chapter 14: In this world of film, is the Mimic Knight the Dark Knight or a monster?

After leaving the chat group, Higashino Rin pressed his nose wearily, seemingly to relieve his weariness.

"It's really uncomfortable to constantly use my mental energy to suppress the alien dial inside my body."

He took the unusual watch face out of his body, examined the dark purple watch face in front of him, and put it into his pocket.

The survivor base is currently considered safe, so he doesn't need to keep the alien dial inside his body all the time to prevent any unexpected changes.

Although the watch face was not activated, it was still a considerable burden on Higashino Rin's body, as his mind was constantly affected by the power of the strange watch face.

He stood up and looked at the surviving base built by Xia Hai and others from the Negative Film World.

The damp ground gleamed faintly, its stillness and solemnity accentuated by the dim light. The shadows cast by the wooden planks overhead etched patterns of varying depths into the earth, adding a touch of mystery.

The dark soil was damp and shiny, leaving deep footprints when stepped on, accompanied by the smell of damp earth. Occasionally, puddles or small streams flowed on the ground, making the entire surface even more moist.

The environment was terrible, but it was Xia Hai and the others' only place to live.

"Aren't you back yet?"

Higashino glanced at the watch on his left wrist, a serious look appearing on his face.

Xia Hai and the others went to look for their teacher and another classmate, and it seemed that quite a long time had passed.

"Mr. Lin."

Chinatsu's anxious voice came from outside, and Higashino Rin silently gripped the unusual watch face in his pocket.

She rushed in, tears streaming down her face, her eyes filled with deep anxiety and panic. Qianxia's breathing was rapid and irregular. "Mr. Lin, please save the teachers!"

"Something really happened." Higashino Rin's heart sank. "Let's talk as we walk."

Thick black smoke billowed over the city, rising slowly and enveloping the entire city, making it appear even darker and more oppressive.

Black smoke swirled in the sky, forming a thick layer of smog that blocked the sunlight, plunging the city into darkness.

The streets were deserted, the buildings looked abandoned and desolate, inside an underground parking lot somewhere in the city.

The hurried footsteps echoed in the empty parking lot, noisy and frantic, as if someone was fleeing.

Xia Hai and the others, carrying food in their hands, ran as fast as they could towards the exit. Behind them followed a knight.

The rider is predominantly black with touches of pale yellow, while the driver on his abdomen is mainly silver with a pale yellow core.

The Choice is a Kamen Rider belonging to the series Kamen Rider Ryuki. He is not a Kamen Rider created by Shiro Kanzaki, but rather a mimic Kamen Rider created by Professor Kagawa using Shiro Kanzaki's research data and Daiga's card pack. He made a contract with the Mirror World creature, Mad Cricket.

Unfortunately, in this film world, this character is not recognized as a knight, but rather as a monster.

Heavy footsteps sounded, and a black eyepatch stared at the four humans in front of him.

A deep voice rang out, "What a pity to hand over the treasures of this world."

He stretched out his right hand and approached Xia Hai and the others.

"Natsumi, Aoyagi, Sakata, Sato, run! Let the teacher handle this."

Tanaka's body trembled, but he still stood in front of Xia Hai and the other three, buying them time to escape.

"Tanaka-sensei!"

"Xia Hai, let's go."

Sato stopped Natsumi from running back and quickly shouted, "Don't let Tanaka-sensei's efforts go to waste. What we can do now is to live well, to live well for the future of this world!" "What a touching teacher-student relationship. In that case, let me take you down to meet."

With one hand gripping Tanaka's neck, the Chooser pulled a card from the driver in its abdomen with its other hand. The card was engraved with a mirror creature whose color matched the Chooser's.

Mad Cricket, a type of mirror creature.

Just as the card was about to be swiped into the summoner, two streaks of dark purple blade light landed on the back of the Chooser.

Staggering, the contract card in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud." The pain in his back caused the chooser to release his grip, and Tanaka, who had been being choked, collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"Who?!"

Feeling the pain in his back, the Decision Maker's voice was cold as he turned to look at the somewhat dimly lit area.

In the dimly lit passageway, heavy footsteps echoed, each step reverberating through the space, creating a sense of oppression and tension that made one involuntarily alert.

A white figure slowly emerged in the dimly lit passage, appearing in the darkness like a ghost. The white figure seemed even more eerie and striking in the dim light, as if it carried an unusual aura.

"wack?"

Staring at the white figure in front of me, its twisted shape seemed like a deformed creation, especially its pair of white teeth, which were exposed and frightening.

Natsumi and the others, who had never seen Higashino Rin in this state before, hung their heads in dejection. With strange people around them, their fate seemed sealed. Fortunately, Chika wasn't there.
"Natsumi."

Chinatsu's voice rang out from behind Higashino Rin, followed by a small head and an arm peeking out, waving the arm.

"Qianqianxia?"

Xia Hai and the others were stunned when they saw Qianxia behind the white-clad strange man.

Sensing the human presence behind Higashino, the Chosen One picked up the contract card that had fallen to the ground, his voice faintly filled with anger.

"Are you going to become a traitor?"

As a weirdo in this world, how could he think of protecting humanity? What a joke! In this world, the rule is that humanity will be wiped out and ruled by them!

If the world's treasure hadn't yet been discovered, humanity would have been wiped out by these monsters from the very beginning. But now, monsters are actually helping humanity?! What the hell is this?!

traitor?

Higashino Rin's pale eyes stared at the person making the choice before him. "I'm not some weirdo from your film world, and I'm human, not a weirdo. You're really throwing labels at me."

"Advent!"

The familiar sound effect of the contract reward rang out, and the figure of the Mad Cricket villain fell from the sky, rushing towards Dongye Lin.

The two short spears of time intersected, their dark purple energy converging, and struck the Mad Cricket villain.

Sizzle——

A long streak of sparks burst through the air, and the figure of the mad cricket villain was instantly blasted away, crashing into a stone pillar and shattering several pillars. Shards flew everywhere, and his entire body fell to the ground, scattering countless sparks.

Higashino Rin had always been watching the little tricks of the decision-makers; sneaky and underhanded behavior was not a good thing.

"Well then, now it's our turn."

Higashino Rin walked toward the Chosen One, holding two short spears of time.
