Kamen Rider Senior Chat Group

Chapter 364 Mixed with Strikers

In the city of Wind, a gloomy atmosphere slowly descends, enveloping the entire city and silently ushering in a chaotic prelude.

An unprecedented crisis swept in, and within just a few days, the library staff were plunged into unprecedented tension and exhaustion.

Along with the appearance of strange new creatures, including the Striker, that have never been heard of before, they have also appeared in various parts of Fengdu.

These monsters are not transformed using only one type of memory or energy bottle.

Instead, it uses an unpredictable and highly destructive new method to combine memory and energy bottles, creating an exceptionally dangerous hybrid monster.

Some of the new monsters follow the same attributes as memory cells and energy bottles, with clear and powerful attack methods; while others are combinations of two completely different energies, and their attack moves are unpredictable and difficult to defend against.

The continuous battles exhausted the library members, including War Rabbit, and forced them to do their utmost to travel throughout the city, engaging in arduous battles day and night.

Each destruction of the Slammers came at a heavy price, and although they eventually managed to defeat them one by one and recover most of the energy bottles and memories, their doubts remained undiminished:
Even more terrifying is that the remaining users disappeared.
Based on calculations, these users are a group whose memory is highly compatible with their own.

They disappeared so completely that even the Earth Library could not fully investigate them.

While the library members were confused and on high alert, the situation within Foundation X had also suddenly changed, and the atmosphere was more tense and solemn than ever before.

Jia Tou Shun and Wan Deng Xue Shi, two core executives of the X Group, hurriedly returned to headquarters.

When they secretly returned to the laboratory, they received news that struck them like a bolt from the blue.
The Blood Potential System has been stolen by a mysterious person.

"Has it been found out? Who did it?"

A flash of undisguised fury crossed Wan Dengxueshi's usually gentle and refined face.

"According to the investigation, the person behind it all is Wang Guangming."

Upon hearing the name, the two fell into an eerie and prolonged silence.

I long for the light.

He is one of the key figures in the Amanokawa Academy Secret Star Apprentice Project invested by Foundation X, and like Sonozaki Ryubei, he was one of the organization's most important investment projects.

Although Kato Shun himself was not directly in charge of the Tianzhichuan project, he was very clear that I, Wang Guangming, was not an easy person to manage.

But now, this mysterious figure, who had long been outside the organization's control, has forcefully seized the highest strategic achievement of Consortium X.

"I will personally go to Tianzhichuan to investigate the situation."

Wan Deng Xue Shi immediately replied, "I'll go with you."

Soon, they arrived at Amanokawa High School.

Stepping into the once bright and vibrant campus, I was instantly struck by an overwhelming sense of cold darkness that enveloped every inch of space, like an invisible giant net that was about to swallow the place whole.

Every building on campus is shrouded in shadow, and the once proud smiles of youth are gone.
The once lively and enthusiastic high school students walked through the corridors indifferently and listlessly, like soulless shells.

Tennokawa High School is no longer what it used to be.

This place has been transformed into a chaotic land intertwined with strange phenomena and fear. An unknown force has corrupted the spirit of every student and manipulated their will.

Just then, a starlight shone brightly, forming a dazzling light and shadow, and Virgo Star Apprentice Emoto Shuki slowly appeared before them.

He bowed slightly, speaking politely but coldly, "Respected guests, the chairman is waiting for you inside."

Jia Tou Shun and Wan Deng Xue Shi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with undisguised wariness and suspicion.

They could hardly imagine that my gazing at the light had plunged the entire campus into such a bizarre state.

As you step into the depths of the campus, the entrance behind you is swallowed up by a tidal wave of darkness, leaving only an unfathomable void.

All the classrooms and corridors of the entire Tennokawa High School seemed to have been completely removed from reality.

A magnificent and eerie throne floated silently in the void.

At this moment, the one occupying it is none other than I, Wang Guangming, possessed by Eberl.

"Welcome to Amanokawa, both of you."

Looking at Bloodseeker on the throne, the two felt immense pressure.

Inside the library, in front of the display screen, Zhan Tu stared expressionlessly at the flashing cost data.

His eyes were fixed on the subtle clues on the screen, but the worry in his heart did not ease even slightly despite the large number of enemies being defeated.

“Basically, we have defeated more than 90% of the doped slammers, and the energy bottles and memory have also been recovered.”

Sento's voice was calm and steady, but his brows clearly revealed deep dissatisfaction and worry.

"But the remaining 10% of users have completely disappeared from our sight."

"These guys seem to belong to no one in this world at all; they vanished without a trace."

Dan Kuroto remained silent.
With Zhan Tu looking like this now, he can't even joke around or laugh out loud anymore.

This made God quite uncomfortable.
The emergence of this emotion in Zhan Tu stems from the reappearance of another name, Ebert.

The battles he fought against Eberl were not only deeply etched in his memory, but also left an indelible shadow on his heart.

Now that Ebolt has reappeared as I look forward to the light, it has undoubtedly shaken Sento's originally calm and rational mind, causing his spirit to gradually approach the edge of tension.

The Narumi Detective Agency, however, presents a completely different atmosphere.

At that moment, an arrogant guest arrived.

Shotaro looked up from the documents, expecting to see his acquaintance Philip returning, but instead he was surprised to see a strange face with a hint of arrogance.

The presence of the Slammers also increased their workload.
During this period, Shotaro Sato handled a lot of cases, and even the police in Futo kept complaining.

A young man stood at the door, his demeanor exuding a carefree and arrogant air. Judging from his expression and posture, he was no pushover.

"who are you?"

Shotaro Zuo looked surprised, and his tone was clearly unfriendly.

The one who came was Shuang Jianguang.

He looked Shotaro up and down with great interest, then grinned and said, "You must be Shotaro Hidden, right? My name is Hikaru, and I'm also a student of Onoue-sensei."

Shotaro's expression, which had been slightly surprised and doubtful, became even more complicated at this moment.

"Because they are all students of Onoue-sensei."

Shuang Jianguang spoke with feigned surprise and amusement.
"So I'm very curious about you. What special ability do you possess to become a teacher's student? Right now, you seem ridiculously weak."

Shotaro felt a surge of intense displeasure when he was suddenly mocked to his face by a frivolous young man.

But before he could refute, Shuang Jianguang interrupted him again.

"I really don't understand."

The boy's expression became even more exaggerated, his deliberately heightened look of regret performed with masterful skill.
"Why did Onoue-sensei waste so much time on someone like you? Was it really just because you're Kamen Rider W?"

Shotaro finally couldn't stand the provocation any longer. His face flushed red, his anger surged, and his voice rose several octaves: "You brat!"

Unfortunately, he couldn't say it again. Shuang Jianguang waved his hand and continued talking to himself.
"Never mind, we've been very busy lately. Most of the slammers in this city are handled by our library."

"I simply don't have time to deal with a half-baked idiot like you. I advise you to behave yourself and stop wasting the teacher's precious time!"

Before Shotaro could retaliate, he smiled slightly and a dazzling particle light surged around his body.

The arrogant young figure vanished into thin air, and the doorway returned to calm.

Shotaro remained standing there, panting heavily, his fists slowly clenching and unclenching.

On the Void Throne, Ebert leaned back comfortably, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "Conglomerate X, heh, I know you guys very well."

In fact, as early as the incident with Mogami Kuisei, Ebert had already crossed the boundaries of the world and infiltrated another Kamen Rider world.

He conducted in-depth investigations and collected a large amount of intelligence, gaining an understanding of the intricate interests and grudges among the major organizations in that world.

The world he now faces is actually the same plane as the world where the Supreme God once resided, only it's a parallel universe due to a different timeline. Tianzhichuan Academy, as the closest observation point on Earth to a black hole, holds a special and irreplaceable significance for Ebert.

After firmly establishing control over the area, they naturally began to make contact with Consortium X.
His methods of communication, as always, were full of provocation and temptation.

Beneath the void, Jia Toushun of Consortium X glanced at Ebert on the Void Throne with a hint of apprehension: "What is your purpose?"

Ebert chuckled softly, his deep gaze piercing through the void, as if seeing through the hidden wariness and ambition in Gatoshun's heart.
"My goal is actually no different from yours. What I need is nothing more than war and chaos in this world."

The body that Ebert is currently possessing, I Hope for Light, is itself one of the long-term projects operated by Foundation X.

After a moment of silence, Jia Toushun nodded slightly, which was taken as tacit acceptance of this strange and dangerous cooperation agreement.

Before leaving the Sky River, Ebert suddenly spoke up as if by accident: "By the way, I heard that the library in Wind City seems to also have the technology for energy bottles?"

Jia Toushun was slightly taken aback, but quickly responded calmly, "That's right, they do have some of the energy bottle technology, but compared to what you have, the technology in the Fengdu Library has many limitations and is far less sophisticated and comprehensive than what you have here."

Neither of them wanted to stay there any longer because the pressure Eberl was putting on them was just too much.

Wan Deng Xue Shi stood aside, never uttering a word, simply observing everything with a calm expression.

The two didn't say anything more, nodded to each other knowingly, and turned to leave Tianzhichuan.

Above the void, Ebert leaned back slowly on his throne once more, a deep laugh escaping his throat, carrying an indescribable pleasure and mockery.

"Ah Qiao, it's been so long since we last met."

The image of Takumi Onoue resurfaced in his mind, his excessively kind-hearted persistence and folly causing him to shake his head slightly.

That guy is still so naive, so easily confused about justice and humanity.

You're always like this.

"Being too kind makes you easily swallowed up by the darkness of the world. Ah Qiao, when will you truly understand that?"

"Hehehe"

He let out another soft laugh, which echoed for a long time in this black hole universe.

The nights in the windy city always have a unique charm, bustling yet mysterious.

Sudo Kirihiko slowly exhaled, and after completing a batch of energy bottle recycling tasks, an undisguised weariness quietly surfaced on his face.

Pulling his coat tighter, he stepped out of the shadowy alleyway and saw Shuang Jianguang leaning lazily against a streetlamp, holding a bright red lollipop in his hand. The boy's arrogance and nonchalance were clearly etched on his face.

"Brother Wuyan, I just went to see that W."

Shuang Jianguang spoke first, his words revealing a subtle emotion, seemingly mixed with disdain and confusion.

Upon hearing this, Sudo Kirihiko naturally knew who the "W" that Futami Hikaru was referring to was.

Shotaro Hidari. An ordinary-looking man, yet he is one of the students personally selected by the curator, Takumi Onoue.

“Go see him. Because he is also the curator’s student.”

Sure enough, Mitsuhiro snorted and took the lollipop away from his mouth, his expression even more displeased: "That guy clearly has no skills at all, so why was he chosen by the curator? Is it just because he's a Kamen Rider?"

The resentment and doubt in his words were obvious, and there was even a hint of sarcasm in them.

Seeing this, Sudo Kirihiko chuckled and said, "Perhaps he has something special about him that we haven't noticed. The curator must have his reasons for valuing someone."

However, such unfounded speculation obviously failed to convince the hot-blooded young Shuang Jianguang.

"What's special about it?"

Shuang Jianguang repeated those four words with a hint of sarcasm, his tone full of doubt.

"Compared to him, I'm the one who's truly capable, right? He's just a detective who even needs his partner's help to transform. What qualifications does someone like that have?"

As he spoke, his emotions grew increasingly agitated, the speed at which he spun the lollipop in his hand gradually slowed down, and even the expression on his face changed from initial dissatisfaction to helplessness.

At that moment, Mitsuaki recalled the days he spent with Onoue Takumi, those precious times that were invaluable to him.

Shuang Jianguang has always been a lonely and arrogant boy. The chaotic and complicated environment he has lived in since childhood has left him with almost no friends.

He realized early on that only strength was his only reliance, until he met Takumi Onoue, the strict yet gentle curator who, like an old father, guided him step by step.

He had long regarded Onoue Takumi as another father figure, cherishing the bond between them.

That's why he couldn't understand why Shotaro Hidari was able to gain Takumi Onoue's attention so easily.

He felt wronged by this, but couldn't truly express it. He could only keep his inner doubts hidden deep inside, constantly questioning himself:

What makes Shotaro Zuo so special?
Why is it that such an ordinary person like him can win the favor of the person he respects most?
Despite being more hardworking and talented, he could never fully win Takumi Onoue's approval.

Shuang Jianguang felt increasingly choked up as he thought about it, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "What exactly does Dad see in him? Even you can't say."

Looking at the once arrogant and overbearing young man before him, Sudo Kirihiko felt a slight pang in his heart.

He understood that the key issue was...
It is the deep longing for recognition and care in the heart of a young person.

"Light, between people, is sometimes not something that can be measured by strength alone."

Sudo Kirihiko pondered for a moment, then his tone softened further.
"The curator may have seen some things that we can't see, those qualities that are hard to describe in words."

Shuang Jianguang looked up. He understood Wu Yan's words, but reason could not erase the jealousy in his heart.

After a long pause, he finally uttered a sentence tinged with stubbornness: "Brother Wuyan, haven't you ever thought that I'm more suitable than him?"

"maybe,"

"The curator always has his own plans, and all we can do is trust him."

Shuang Jianguang listened and fell silent.

He put the lollipop back into his mouth, his eyes filled with a complex and subtle expression. He secretly vowed that no matter what, he would prove to Onoue Takumi that he, Tsuke Mitsuhiro, was the one who truly deserved to be his student.

But just then, an eerie light suddenly enveloped Sudo Kirihiko and Futami Hikaru.

The two looked up in astonishment, and saw a blurry yet unsettling figure slowly stepping out from the hazy light.

The figure let out a soft sigh, the voice aged yet carrying a profound sense of oppression:
"Fengdu. I'm back."

The moment the words fell, the surrounding space suddenly twisted, creating a suffocating spatial distortion. Countless fragments of memory intertwined and collided, exuding an eerie aura that unsettled the mind.

The light gradually faded, revealing the appearance of the person who had entered.

Upon checking the personal information, Sudo Kirihiko's pupils constricted sharply, and he murmured, "Dr. Helstein."

"But why are they so much younger?"

"I didn't expect anyone to recognize me."

Sudo Kirihiko smiled: "You are a pioneer in the development of immortal soldiers, and you have a great reputation and prestige in the medical field."

The middle-aged man before me was none other than Dr. Helstein, who had passed away many years ago and was once a renowned figure.

With a somber expression, he took out a memory chip that emitted a faint glow.

This memory chip achieved an extremely high degree of compatibility in Dr. Helstan's hands.

They even possess the ability to manipulate and interfere with time, forcibly maintaining immortality in a near-death state.

He slowly raised it, and at the same time took out another item that shocked everyone even more: the Brachiosaurus Energy Bottle.

As a pioneer in the development of immortal soldiers, he also had a similar virus transplanted into his body.

As he spoke, his true resurrection descended upon Fengdu once more.

At this moment, Shuang Jianguang uses his own learning memory.
"collapse."

In an instant, yesterday's time was overwritten and cracked.
