Kamen Rider Senior Chat Group

Chapter 398 Each with Their Own Concerns

In a temporary medical base in the world of Blade, various high-tech medical devices emitted subtle operating sounds, and soft beams of light scanned the old woman's frail body.

After a careful and comprehensive examination, the results finally came into Kiryu Sento's hands.

Sento held a thick stack of reports, calmly scanning them with a look of relief mixed with slight confusion on his face.

He sighed softly, turned to the old woman, and said, "Your health is very good. Apart from severe aging, all other indicators are normal."

The old woman was silent for a moment, then slowly raised her head and looked at Zhan Tu with her eyes that had lost their original luster. She asked in a low voice, "So, what do you plan to do with me?"

When faced with her question, Sento did not answer immediately, but stared at the old woman for a while, as if he was thinking about how to phrase his words.

"You have to stay here. After all, you, a person from the future, are still a dangerous existence. I cannot be sure of your true purpose and intention in coming to the Nine Realms."

"Stay here?"

Do you want to imprison me?

Zhan Tu shook his head and gave an unexpected smile: "No, it's not about imprisoning you."

"You're only staying here temporarily to work. This planet is severely polluted due to the previous global upheaval, and the air is unbearably foul."

The old woman was stunned, not reacting for a moment: "You mean, you want me to work? To clean the air?"

Zhan Tu smiled and nodded, then took out a brand-new set of cleaning equipment and placed it in front of the old woman.

"That's right. Now that you're a physical human, work alongside the humanoid robots here and help clean up the planet's air pollution."

The old woman stared at the unfamiliar cleaning tools in front of her, her heart filled with doubt and unease.

She was once the supreme female speaker, possessing the power to manipulate the forces of creation, but now she is required to do the most menial labor with a group of humanoid puppets, which makes her feel more confused and humiliated than ever before.

"How do I clean up this air?"

The old woman's voice trembled slightly, clearly revealing her resistance and confusion.

Sento maintained his gentle smile, but his tone carried an undeniable firmness: "It's okay, you'll learn slowly. The human-machine puppets will teach you."

As soon as she finished speaking, the several robotic figures that had been working around her turned around and stared at her silently with their bright but emotionless data eyes, as if waiting for her to make a move.

The old woman suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure and embarrassment. She looked up at Zhan Tu, only to find that Zhan Tu had already turned and left, leaving only his back view and a faint sentence: "Don't worry, you'll get used to it."

Just as the old woman nervously began to pick up the equipment and prepare for work, a beam of data suddenly flashed at the entrance of the base, and Dan Kuroto's figure slowly emerged from the light.

He looked at the busy old woman, then looked up at Zhan Tu not far away, his tone revealing a hint of incomprehension: "Zhan Tu, why did you let her go?"

Sento turned to look at Dan Kuroto and shrugged slightly: "Don't you understand? The future human is essentially just a life form made of data. Now that she has become a real human, killing her is certainly easy. But what real meaning would there be in doing so?"

Dan Kuroto was taken aback: "What does it mean?"

"I hope that through her own experience, she can truly understand what it means to be human, what life is, and the true meaning of protecting life."

"As you know, the future people in the Extreme Fox world have always regarded life as a bargaining chip in a boring game. In their world, human life has no value and is trampled on and ignored at will."

The facts Zhan Tu spoke of were based on his firsthand experience of the bloody and cold games in the world of Extreme Fox, where no one truly cared about the value of life itself.

Zhan Tu continued, "If we simply kill her, it's just to vent our anger and hatred, and it won't fundamentally change the mindset of people in the future."

"However, if we can let her feel and reflect on real human life, and let her truly experience the preciousness of life and the value of protecting life, then we can truly touch her heart and may even completely change her."

The warrior is not merely forgiving or indulging the enemy, but is also undertaking a profound ideological transformation and a redemption of the soul.

"Everyone has the right to choose. What we are doing now is giving her a new chance, a chance to make a new choice."

Dan Kuroto shook his head.
Too complicated
As the sun gradually set, fine dust and the smell of air lingered in the air.

The old woman slowly put down the equipment in her hands, her forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.

All day long, she and a group of humanoid robots were busy cleaning the polluted air on the planet.

At first, she was extremely clumsy and couldn't even master the most basic operations.

But gradually, she found that her body and will adapted to this simple and monotonous work, and she could even complete the task accurately and efficiently.

She looked up, gazing blankly at the humanoid robots working silently around her.

These mechanical beings were dutiful and responsible, without any complaints or emotional fluctuations, simply repeating each pre-programmed instruction.

The old woman suddenly felt a strange and complex emotion—perhaps a calm, or perhaps a mixture of loss and confusion.

"Perhaps, this is what everyday human feelings are like."

The old woman murmured to herself, her gaze gradually softening and becoming wistful.

In the past, she had never experienced such an ordinary yet fulfilling daily life, nor had she ever truly experienced everything that an ordinary life should go through.

Just as she was immersed in this unfamiliar emotion, an alluring fragrance suddenly wafted into her nose, instinctively bringing her back to her senses.

Slightly startled, she turned her head and saw Kiryu Sento standing beside her, holding a large plate of food, quietly looking at her with gentle and kind eyes.

"Eat."

Zhan Tu smiled and gently placed the food in front of her.

The old woman hesitated for a moment, then looked down and carefully examined the food.

Although the aroma was enticing and the color tempting, her intuition told her that the nutritional composition of these foods did not seem healthy, far from being as well-balanced as the perfectly synthesized nutrients of the future world.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up the food slowly and took a small bite.

The warm texture and rich flavor instantly filled her mouth, making her slightly stunned, and a faint, indescribable feeling of emotion and warmth rose in her heart.

Although reason told her that this was not the best food, her heart inexplicably accepted it, as if she was only now truly experiencing what it meant to be human.

Zhan Tu quietly observed her reaction, a gentle smile playing on his lips: "How was your first day at work?"

The old woman looked up: "It's relatively simple." Zhan Tu naturally knew that this female speaker, who had once stood at the pinnacle of the future world, had a learning ability far exceeding that of ordinary people.

What she has always lacked is not ability, but a heart that truly experiences life.

The old woman continued to eat silently, feeling the warmth and energy that the food transmitted into her body.

She didn't say much, but quietly savored each bite, as if each bite was redefining her understanding of life.

Is this perhaps the true meaning of human life?

She ate her food silently, the afterglow of the setting sun casting a soft glow on her aged face, seemingly adding a touch of vitality and radiance to her complexion.

Kiryu Sento stood aside, quietly watching the scene before him, a slight thought stirring in his heart.

Gaim World, Zeme City.

After a fierce battle, Takashi Mai's power was finally completely exhausted.

She knelt on the ravaged ground, her eyes glazed over, her face still bearing a trace of madness and resentment, muttering words that were no longer comprehensible.

Just then, a gentle yet powerful light descended from the sky, quickly forming a transparent energy barrier that trapped Gao Siwu firmly, cutting her off from all contact with the outside world.

"This is."

Kaito Kamen Rider had just finished transforming and looked in the direction where the barrier had appeared, his face full of confusion.

Onoue Takumi slowly walked towards them from a distance, accompanied by Finis.

"Onoue...you've recovered?"

Quwen Jiedou asked with a hint of surprise.

Instead of answering immediately, Takumi Onoue walked quickly to Kaito Kumon, reached out and ruffled his hair without any politeness, making the originally serious and cold Kaito Kumon look disheveled.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Kaito struggled for a moment, looking displeased, but made no attempt to escape.

Onoue Takumi deliberately put on a stern face: "You brat, call me master! You have no manners at all."

Upon hearing this, Quwen Jiedou was taken aback, but his expression suddenly became obedient, and he whispered, "Master."

This scene immediately stunned the Baron team members around them.

They never expected that the usually arrogant and haughty Quwen Jiedou would treat this suddenly appearing stranger with such a submissive tone.

Onoue Takumi nodded with satisfaction, crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows triumphantly, and looked around defiantly, as if to declare his victory: "See? This is the disciple I personally took in!"

Phineas stood to the side, watching Onoue Takumi's arrogant and confident demeanor, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, sighing softly, "You never change this habit, no matter where you go."

"This isn't just any disciple I've taken on. Can't you see this kid's potential?"

Phineas glanced at the patterned doll: "Yes, looking at it this way, he does seem quite suitable to be your apprentice."

Upon hearing this, Quwen Jiedou blushed slightly and lowered his head somewhat awkwardly, seemingly unaccustomed to being joked about.

Onoue Takumi didn't care at all, and instead laughed even more happily, turning his head to pat Kakumon Kaito's shoulder again: "Kaito, I have high hopes for you."

After a moment of silence, Quwen Jiedou finally responded in a low voice, "Yes."

At this moment, DJ Sagara, who was standing nearby, was preparing to quietly leave the scene amidst the chaos, but was locked onto by Onoue Takumi's sharp gaze.

"Sir, please wait a moment."

DJ Sagara froze, turned around and forced a smile, cold sweat beading on his forehead: "Uh, is there something wrong?"

Onoue Takumi's lips curled into a playful smile as he slowly walked towards DJ Sagara: "What, do you think you can just slip away like nothing happened at a time like this?"

DJ Xiang Le could only laugh awkwardly twice and nod repeatedly, saying, "No, no, you're right, of course I won't just slip away."

Onoue Takumi nodded in satisfaction, then gently patted his shoulder: "Very good. Since you're so sensible, then stay here obediently. There are some things I need your help with later."

DJ Xiang Le's face turned even more bitter after hearing this, but he could only nod in agreement helplessly.

The group quickly returned to the Baron team's base.

After the chaos and fierce battle, a semblance of tranquility has been restored here for the time being.

When the team members saw that Kaito Kamen Rider was following behind Takumi Ogami so obediently, they all showed expressions of disbelief and even began to wonder if something strange had happened.

Kaito Kumon paid no attention to the surprised looks. He stood silently beside Takumi Oogami, his expression somewhat unnatural, but very obedient and quiet, completely different from his usual proud and aloof demeanor.

Meanwhile, the data-driven Ryuga, his face clearly showing dissatisfaction, glared angrily at Takumi Onoue: "Hey, Takumi, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly turn back into a physical form? You didn't even tell me beforehand!"

When Takumi Ogami turned his head and saw Ryuga's appearance, he couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head: "Don't worry, Ryuga, I'm just using a humanoid doll's body. If you want one, I can make one for you later."

Hearing this, Longwo's expression softened slightly, but he still muttered a complaint, "It should have been done a long time ago; it made me worry for so long."

Just then, Phineas, who was standing to the side, suddenly remembered something important. She looked up at Banjou Ryuga, her eyes flashing slightly, and asked softly, "Wait, your name is Banjou Ryuga, right?"

Ryuga was slightly taken aback by Phineas's question: "Yes, I am Banjou Ryuga, so what?"

Finis took a finely crafted, slightly worn letter from his pocket and gently handed it to Ryuga.
“I once went to a strange world and met a girl named Kurama Mion. After learning that she could travel to multiple worlds, she entrusted this letter to a man named Banjou Ryuga.”

When Ryuga's gaze fell on the familiar signature on the envelope, he was instantly struck dumb, frozen in place, his eyes revealing a mixture of shock and complex emotions.

Dear Mr. Evil Dragon, this is for you~
Miyin~
“Miyin.”

For a moment, he didn't know how to face this sudden revelation of the past. He could only stare blankly at the letter, his eyes filled with indescribable complex emotions.

Seeing this, Finnis smiled gently and said softly, "That girl is still waiting for you in that world. She said that no matter how much time passes, she is willing to wait forever."

Upon hearing this, something stirred within Long Wo. He remained silent for a moment before saying, "Ah Qiao, please open the letter for me."

Familiar and gentle handwriting instantly caught my eye.
