Chapter 4 The Store Manager's Murderous Intentions

"Escaped from Faust?"

After just meeting and greeting each other, Kiryu Sento looked at Onoe Takumi suspiciously.

With skillful, fluid movements, he poured freshly brewed coffee into a cup, its rich aroma filling the air. Onoue Takumi, composed and expertly passing the coffee to Kiryu Sento and Manjo Ryuga, was a man of few words.

"Try my coffee. The manager just praised my craftsmanship."

Ishido Soichi added coldly, "I just said you've passed."

"Thank you very much."

Onoue Takumi didn't take it seriously, instead he treated the evaluation as a treasure.

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

Kiryu Sento's gaze lingered between Onoue Takumi and Ishido Soichi, as if wondering if there was some unspoken relationship between them.

Wanzhang Longwo seemed a little bewildered. He picked up the coffee cup, hesitated for a moment, and decided to take a sip.

The next second, Wanzhang Longwo's expression froze. He put down his coffee cup, frowned slightly, and muttered softly, "It's so bitter..."

Onoue Takumi glanced at him and said with a smile, "The bitterness of coffee is its soul. Only after experiencing the bitterness can you appreciate the sweetness."

Wanzhanglong listened to these words, feeling somewhat helpless, and grumbled softly, "Soul or something, I just want to drink something edible."

Ishido Soichi's gaze turned to Manzhang Ryuga.

"Who is he, then?"

His tone returned to his usual slightly boastful tone, as if Ishido Soichi didn't know Manjo Ryuga at all.

Kiryu Sento raised an eyebrow and was about to answer, but was interrupted by Manjo Ryuga: "My name is Manjo Ryuga, and I have decided to be the partner of Kiryu Sento, the Kamen Rider, from now on."

Ooue Takumi raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Kamen Rider? What's that?"

Kiryu Sento glanced at Manjo Ryuga, then looked at Ishido Soichi, and finally his gaze fell on Oue Takumi.

He gently put down the coffee cup, his tone slightly tentative: "Your skills are good, but this kind of skilled feeling doesn't seem to be something that an ordinary barista can achieve. Who are you?"

"I'm just an ordinary person, doing an ordinary job. I was accidentally captured by that organization and suffered a lot of torture."

When he said this, his tone was calm, but it carried a hint of inexplicable power.

After hearing this, Kiryu Battle Rabbit was slightly startled, as if he realized something, but he didn't say anything.

"Speaking of which, both Manjo Ryu and I escaped from that mysterious base."

Ishido Soichi, the store manager, held his chin in his hand and said with a half-smile, "Doesn't he remember the location of that base?"

"He said he didn't know anything."

Kiryuu Sento shrugged, his voice revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and helplessness.

Wanzhanglong and I silently lowered our heads and drank the coffee brewed by Ogami Qiao, obviously not wanting to be dragged into this discussion anymore.

Just when the atmosphere was about to become awkward, Onoue Takumi suddenly spoke up, his tone calm but revealing a hint of meaning: "I do have some impression of this matter."

He gently put down the coffee pot in his hand and looked at the few people: "I set fire to that base when I escaped and burned it down."

As soon as the words fell, the room fell silent for a few seconds.

"Did you set the fire?"

"Yes."

Onoue Takumi shrugged. "That place shouldn't exist. It left me with some unpleasant memories, so I burned it down."

"Then you are really amazing, able to destroy such a place." Ishido Soichi's tone was still unhurried, with a hint of laziness in his voice. Kiryu Battle Rabbit glanced at the store manager and then at Onoue.

"I've encountered strange things before, not only that mysterious base, but also your secret base of Kamen Rider."

Onoue Takumi said as he casually opened the refrigerator door: "Who would have thought that there was another small base hidden behind this refrigerator?"

Upon hearing this, I, Wanzhanglong, was immediately intrigued.

He leaned forward and looked at the open refrigerator door curiously. There didn't seem to be any food inside, but it led to a hidden entrance.

His eyes lit up instantly, as if he had discovered a new world. "Is this true? This place is actually connected to the base?"

Before Kiryu Sento could stop me, Banjoryū had already dived into the passage behind the refrigerator.

He jogged along, and found a different world behind the refrigerator. Lights overflowed from the bright lines around it. A simple yet technologically advanced space appeared before his eyes, with various devices neatly arranged.

"Manager, I'm going upstairs to take a break."

Not having any interest in the subsequent conversation with these people, Onoue Takumi yawned and went to the small bedroom at the back door of the coffee shop to rest.

Looking at Ooe Takumi's back, Kiryu Sento was a little confused about what was happening.

"These two are very strange."

Refers to Onoe Takumi and Manjo Ryuga.

After returning to the bedroom, Oeue Qiao lay lazily on the bed, seemingly taking a nap.

Consciousness has already entered that unique consciousness space, connected to a chat group full of mysteries.

Following Rick's request, Onoue Takumi begins his own special training, which may seem simple but holds profound meaning.

“Breathe and relax, and be aware of your surroundings.”

Rick's voice was gentle, yet held undeniable strength.

Onoue Takumi tried to follow the instructions to regulate his breathing and blend himself into the surroundings.

However, when he tried to perceive those subtle changes in nature, he found that his consciousness seemed to have touched an invisible barrier.

"Don't worry,"

"These principles may seem simple, but it's not easy to master them. You need to find a rhythm that harmonizes with nature, rather than forcing yourself to adapt."

In the following time, Rick taught Onoue Takumi all the natural laws he understood, from the most basic breathing method to the deep perception of resonance with nature.

Based on Rick's guidance, Onoue Takumi realized that theory alone would not allow him to make a breakthrough.

He needed to increase his training intensity to a sufficient level. Only by tempering his body and mind to the limit could he withstand the terrifying and powerful force, the dark power of Daguba.

"Withstand the darkness, master it, rather than be consumed by it."

Onoue Takumi took a deep breath and began to merge his body and consciousness into one.

He felt every ounce of strength coursing through his body, pushing himself to the limit. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, but his expression remained resolute.

Just as he was getting into the state, an unusual aura quietly invaded from the outside world.

At first, it was a vague feeling of unease, as if someone was staring at him with cold eyes.

Soon, a thick and eerie smell of blood wafted into the room. A dark red mist of death silently spread from the ground, slowly approaching Oogami Takumi's position as if it had life.

The blood mist seemed to carry endless malice, and the air became heavy and suffocating. The temperature in the room suddenly dropped, but Onoue Takumi did not open his eyes.

He sensed the danger, but did not panic. Instead, he steadied his breathing and kept calm.
