Masked W: I'm like peanuts or vegetables, and Saeko is outside the door.

"So this is the ability of a Ghost Hunter, '690'..."

Akari Tsukimura sighed softly, feeling deeply helpless.

Akari Tsukimura couldn't understand the Ghost Hunter thing at all; it was completely inexplicable by science.

Seeing Akari Tsukimura's distraught state, Lu Chen encouraged her, saying:

"You should start by studying spirits. Maybe once you've thoroughly understood spirits, you'll know how to open dimensional barriers."

Tsukimura had no idea that the dimensional barrier had nothing to do with spirits, but she was already very interested in spirits, so upon hearing this, she immediately set off to do her research.

In her research on spirits, Akari Tsukimura's primary target was neither Lu Chen nor Tenkuuji-zun, but rather the immortal uncle.

Unlike Akari Tsukimura, Misaki Yamauchi doesn't care about things like the dimensional barrier. After all, as Lu Chen said, the world of Kamen Rider doesn't require understanding everything.

After obtaining the Piano Eye Soul, Misaki Yamauchi immediately wanted to share the good news with Takeru Tenkuji.

He knew that Tenkuji Takeru was currently going through a slump, and wanted to use this look to encourage him.

Finally, in Tenkuji Takeru's room, Yamauchi Misaki found Tenkuji Takeru.

At this moment, Tenkuuji Takeru was lying in the bedding with a sullen expression, like an ostrich, seemingly uninterested in anything.

It seems that Makoto Fukami dealt a significant blow to Takeru Tenkuji.

Even when he saw Yamauchi Misaki, Tenkuji Takeru only glanced at him without saying hello, then turned over and continued lying down.

Yamauchi Misaki quickly said, "Your Highness, we have obtained the Piano Eye Soul. This brings us one step closer to your resurrection."

Tenkuuji Takeru's reaction was indifferent; he said listlessly, "So what? My Edison Eye Soul and Musashi Eye Soul have both been stolen. It's like I owe him an Eye Soul..."

Yamauchi Misaki shook his head and said, "No, the Musashi Eye Soul is with me. Tsukimura Akari asked me to give it to you."

"What? You still have Musashi's Eye Soul?"

Upon hearing this, Tenkuji Takeru sat up abruptly and turned to look at Yamauchi Misaki.

When Tenkuji Takeru saw the Musashi Eye Soul in Yamauchi Misaki's hand, his eyes were filled with shock.

With trembling hands, he took the Musashi Eye Soul back from Yamauchi Misaki's hand.

For Tenkuji Takeru, the Musashi Eye Soul has a special meaning. It is a relic left by his father, embodying his father's protection and love for him.

That's why Tenkuji Takeru became so despondent after losing the Musashi Eye Soul. He felt he had let his father down and that he had failed his father.

Fortunately, Musashi's Eye Soul was not actually stolen; it returned to his own hands.

.......

Chapter 198 goes like this: He and I have lived in the same neighborhood since birth.

Yamauchi Misaki said from the side:

"Your Highness, it's time to pull yourself together. You wouldn't want His Highness to see you like this, would you? Losing to someone isn't scary; what's scary is not being able to get back up after losing once. Are you really willing to lose to that guy like this and then be ridiculed by him?"

Upon hearing this, a resolute look appeared in Tenkuji's eyes.

"No, I'm not reconciled. My Edison Eye Soul is still in his hands. I must take it back."

With that, Tenkuji Takeru stood up and said he was going to train.

Watching Tenkuji Takeru's departing figure, Yamauchi Misaki secretly breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "He's finally pulled himself together. It's really not easy."

Two days later, Misaki Yamauchi obtained information from the note left by the old man and learned that the next Eyecon was about to appear. This Eyecon was a sharpshooter from the West named Billy Kid.

That afternoon, a client came to visit.

The visitor was named Tanaka, a young man in his early twenties.

Yamauchi Misaki and Tenkuji Takeru greeted him together. After exchanging greetings, Tenkuji Takeru asked, "What request do you have for us to investigate?"

Tanaka nodded and began to speak:

"Here's the thing, I have a friend I haven't seen for almost a year. I went to see him a while ago, and I found that he was like a different person. I feel like he's become very strange."

Yamauchi asked, "Could you be a little more specific?"

Tanaka nodded and continued:

"That's right, we've lived in the same neighborhood since we were born."

"Even after I moved, our relationship has remained very good."

"When we met this time, I found that he couldn't use the code words that only the two of us knew, so I concluded that something must have happened to him. Either he was an imposter, or he had amnesia, and it wasn't just him who was acting strangely, but everyone else in the neighborhood was acting strangely too."

Tenkuji Takeru and Yamauchi Misaki exchanged a glance. The more they listened, the more convinced they were of the Eye Demon's doing, so they continued to ask, "Tell me more about it?"

"That's right, everyone in the neighborhood disappears at night, and we don't know where they go."

“They seemed to have gone to a gathering place. I tried to follow them a few times, but I was always interrupted by various accidents. I was either blown down by the wind, fell off my bicycle, or was almost knocked down by a falling tree.”

Tenkuji Takeru had an idea in mind. He guessed that the Eye Demon was stopping Tanaka. He nodded and said, "Alright, we'll take this request. Take me to room 707 in that neighborhood to investigate."

Yamauchi Misaki pointed to himself and asked, "Your Highness, aren't you planning to take me with you?"

Tenkuji Takeru shook his head and said, "There is another very important matter that I need you to do, which is to investigate the man in the top hat who had contact with Yoko and handed him the Beethoven manuscript."

Yamauchi Misaki slapped his forehead and said:

“Oh right, I almost forgot about that. Let’s split up. I’ll go investigate that man, Your Highness, and you can help investigate this case.”

Soon, Takeru Tenkuji followed Tanaka to the neighborhood he had mentioned.

Chapter 199 The Wasp Eye Demon Discovers that Tenkuji Takeru Seems to Be Looking at Him

Just before entering the residential area, Tanaka pleaded with Takeru Tenkuji, saying, "Takeru Tenkuji, Satoshi is a very important childhood friend to me. I hope you can save him."

Upon hearing the word "childhood friend," a series of images flashed through Takeru Tenkuji's mind.

In the scene, Takeru Tenkuji, who was only seven or eight years old, is practicing swordsmanship with a boy who was slightly older than him, while Akari Tsukimura, who was a little girl at the time, is sitting on the stairs next to him.

Coming to his senses, Tenkuji Takeru nodded and said:

“I understand what you’re thinking. I also had a very good childhood friend, but one day he seemed to suddenly disappear. He just vanished, and in the end, no one knew where he went.”

Tanaka was somewhat surprised to hear this.

"I didn't expect you to have encountered something like this before."

Tenkuuji nods and continues:

"Yes, so I will definitely not let this happen to you. I will definitely protect your childhood friend."

As soon as the two entered the residential area, Tenkuji Takeru noticed something was wrong.

He saw people standing on many balconies around the residential area, all of whom were staring at him expressionlessly.

This scene was terrifying, like something out of a horror movie.

Tanaka got goosebumps all over and said:

"That kind of look in their eyes, don't you think it's terrifying? Something's definitely wrong with them, right?"

Tenkuji nods.

"I suspect they are possessed by something."

Tenkuuji Takeru's first reaction was that all these people had been possessed by the Eye Demon, which was why they had lost their original personalities and their temperaments had changed drastically.

This made Tenkuji Takeru even more certain that the neighborhood had been taken over by the Eye Demon, and that all the people in the neighborhood had been influenced by it.

Just then, Tenkuji Takeru saw an eye demon wearing armor that looked like a wasp, with two pairs of wings as thin as cicada wings on its back!

As expected, this place has been affected by the Eye Demon!

The appearance of the Eye Demon confirmed Tenkuji Takeru's guess!

The Wasp-Eyed Demon noticed that Tenkuji Takeru seemed to be looking at him, so he said to him:

"Oh, you wouldn't happen to be that Kamen Rider who can see Eye Demons, would you? This is my territory. If you don't want to die, get out of here."

As he spoke, the Wasp-Eyed Demon raised his hand and waved it, sending out a yellow light screen that struck Tenkuji Takeru and Tanaka.

Tenkuji Son was prepared and had his hands in front of him, so he was not seriously injured.

But Tanaka wasn't so lucky. He fell heavily to the ground, his head hitting the concrete floor, and he immediately lost consciousness.

“You bastard, not only have you taken control of the entire neighborhood, but you've also injured people. I won't let you get away with this.”

As he spoke, Tenkuuji Takeru took out his Eye Soul and immediately transformed.

After transforming into Kamen Rider Ghost, Takeru Tenkuji leaped lightly and arrived in front of Wasp Eye Demon, throwing a punch.

The Wasp-Eyed Demon's wings trembled slightly, and it retreated like a ghost, easily dodging the punch thrown by Tenkuji Takeru.

After missing his target with a punch, Tenkuji Takeru spun around and kicked, aiming his heel at his opponent.

However, this kick was ineffective, as the Hornet Eye Demon easily blocked it with a raised hand.

Chapter 200 The two separated, several meters apart.

"Is this all you've got? Looks like Kamen Rider isn't all that great after all."

"Shut up, what exactly is your purpose in taking control of the residents of this community?"

While launching his attack, Tenkuji-san pressed him for answers.

The wasp-eyed demon chuckled:
