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

A beastly roar resounded, and then the Fang Memory, appearing as a mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex, arrived at incredible speed, taking Philip with it as a blue streak of light that streaked across the sky.

“That’s…” Saeko was stunned. “Fangs? I almost forgot that there was one of these things with the person who came here. Really!”

Saeko was a little annoyed. She was so close to succeeding. "Oh well, the hostage is still in my hands. I'll go back, take a shower, and wait for him to come to me." With that, she left the scene.

......

"Jian'er, wake up! We're thieves, not kidnappers and murderers!"

"Why did you do something so outrageous?!" In an abandoned warehouse, Asou Fuyumi, bound by rope, struggled violently while trying to wake her partner.

"Oh, Fuyumi, didn't I tell you before? I'm really fascinated by the power in the memory. If I agree to work for my employer, she will not only give me money, but also let me obtain an even more powerful memory."

"By the way, why don't you indulge yourself and try it out? That way you might understand why I can't live without it. I happen to have a version here that doesn't need a connector."

"I haven't even been willing to use it myself."

"Look how good I am to you, Dongmei."

As Kurata Kenji spoke, he slowly walked up to Aso Fuyumi.

He was also holding a Gaia Memory in his hand.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly inserted the weapon memory into Asou Fuyumi's forehead.

Asou Fuyumi was terrified. She wanted to hide and resist, but she was powerless to do anything. She could only let Kurata Kenji do as he pleased. The next moment, the memory merged into her body. She trembled and showed a painful expression. In the end, the beautiful woman's appearance turned into a strange person similar to Kurata Kenji.

Weapon dopant!!!

However, it is quite obvious that the weapon hybrid that Fuyumi Aso transformed into is more slender, with a purple body and black armor, and the weapons in her left and right hands remain unchanged.

His overall presence was much stronger than Kurata Kenji's; just standing there exuded a powerful sense of pressure.

"how come?"

Shotaro, who was trapped to the side, was shocked to see that the memory could be used successfully without a connector or driver?

Wait, his memory...

Why does it feel somewhat similar to the Ace Memory I inexplicably obtained before?

Before Shotaro could think it through, Akiko excitedly shouted to Fuyumi Aso, who had transformed into a weapon hybrid, "Fuyumi-san! What a great opportunity! Defeat him and get us out of here!"

Upon hearing this, Shotaro's eyes lit up.

Yes!

This is indeed a good opportunity.

Fuyumi Aso has also obtained the power of the weapon memory, giving her the ability to fight against Kenji Kurata. If she is allowed to escape, she will transform into W.

Kurata Kenji was no match for him.

however!

To Shotaro and Akiko's surprise, Fuyumi Aso, who had transformed into a weapon hybrid, did not act as they had expected.

"Is this the power I gained after using the Gaia Memory? It's really amazing."

After sensing the power she now possessed, Asou Fuyumi looked at Shotaro and the other man apologetically and said, "I'm sorry..."

"I don't want to hurt Jian'er."

She didn't want Kurata Kenji to get into trouble any further.

But she didn't want to hurt him herself.

Upon hearing this, both Shotaro and Akiko were speechless. Was this woman love-struck?

......

At the Sonozaki residence, Sonozaki Saeko emerged from the bathroom, wrapped only in a white bath towel, her long hair still wet, and her fair skin slightly flushed.

She looks very charming.

"Husband, are you just going to watch?"

Sonozaki Saeko asked Lu Chen, who was standing not far away, with a meaningful look in her eyes. Lu Chen chuckled and asked in return:

"But if I take any actual action, then all your efforts... will have been for nothing?"

“That makes sense, then…” Before I could finish my business and return, Saeko suddenly had a great idea.

She smiled mysteriously, walked towards Lu Chen, and finally leaned close to his ear and said, "Speaking of which, it's a bit inconvenient for me to wash by myself in some places. Can you help me?" The meaning was quite clear.

With the beauty so proactive, and Lu Chen not being a eunuch, he simply picked Saeko up and carried her straight to the bathroom. Soon after, countless handprints were left on the bathroom door...

......

Inside the Cyclone Sprinter.

Suddenly the phone rang. Philip took a deep breath and answered it.

next moment!

"Philip!"

Akiko's voice trembled.

"Little Tree, are you alright?"

"How can nothing be wrong?"

Akiko was on the verge of a breakdown. She had been blindfolded and tied to a pillar.

"Did you hear your companion's cries of agony?"

"Come back quickly, young master."

Kurata Kenji said with a wicked smile.

"Kurata Kenji!"

Philip's face was full of anger.

“We’re in an abandoned factory in Ji-cho. You’d better hurry up.”

"Because your friends are about to play a particularly brutal game."

Kurata Kenji threatened.

"Don't come! You absolutely mustn't come, Philip!" Unexpectedly, Shotaro shouted loudly, trying to dissuade Philip from coming.

In his view, even if it meant his own death, he couldn't let his partner suffer any harm.

"Shoutaro..."

Philip understood what Shotaro Sato meant.

I was deeply moved.

But the more it's like this...

He could only become more worried about their situation.

"Just forget about me. Consider this punishment for not heeding my partner's advice."

“If you come, our friendship will end here.” Shotaro swallowed hard, enduring the pain in his body, and said breathlessly, before Philip could say anything.

Did I give you permission to speak? 187

Kurata Kenji, with a face full of coldness, reached out and pinched Shotaro, pinning him tightly against the wall.

He then stomped hard on Shotaro's injured spot, and a shrill scream rang out!

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"

A twist appeared on Shotaro's pained face, but even so, he refused to admit defeat.

"Shoutaro!!!"

Philip called out anxiously. Even through the phone, he could sense that Shotaro Satoshi's condition was not good.

"Once a person dies, everything is gone, young master. See you later!"

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Kenji Kurata was certain that Philip would come; before hanging up the phone, all that could be heard was his loud laughter.

And there was also the scream of Shotaro Hidari.

“Ahhhhhh——!!!”

"Shoutaro, Shotaro!!!"

After the call was hung up, Philip was filled with anxiety, wondering what he should do.

......

"Cough...it hurts!" Shotaro coughed, feeling the tightness of the ropes binding his body, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"They're tied really tightly."

"Hey, Shotaro, are we doomed?" Akiko, who was standing to the side, asked in fear.

"It's too early to say there's no hope."

“We actually still have a chance. The first chance is that Miss Dongmei is willing to help us. The second chance is that Lu Chen will show up.”
