Global awakening! My Kamen Rider identity has been exposed!

Jiang Lan's seemingly ordinary basic attack actually concealed a deadly move, leaving the million viewers in the live stream stunned.

In an instant, the torrent of comments that had been flooding the screen suddenly stopped, as if the entire live stream had been muted, leaving only the lingering aftershocks of the battle on the screen, silently assaulting everyone's senses.

Everyone initially thought it was just a hasty kick Jiang Lan made under pressure, lacking any real skill. But no one could have predicted that this seemingly casual strike was actually a long-planned killing move!

"No way? Jiang Lan is really good at hiding his strength this time. He actually wrapped his ultimate skill in a basic attack?"

"Don't talk nonsense, that's called tactical planning! To remain absolutely calm even when at a disadvantage, accurately predicting the opponent's weaknesses and setting a trap—Jiang Lan's mental fortitude and combat intelligence are just too top-notch!"

"Who would have thought that the ferocious spider monster would ultimately fall victim to a seemingly ordinary side kick, and be instantly defeated!"

"With a powerful figure like Jiang Lan protecting them, these monsters shouldn't pose a fatal threat to human civilization... So what secrets lie behind the collapse of civilization back then?"

After a brief silence, the chat exploded with comments again, a mix of exclamations and speculations that swept through the entire live stream.

Meanwhile, inside the Federal Memory Exploration Supreme Command, the scene was equally chaotic.

The group of seasoned experts, their temples streaked with gray, looked astonished, their pens hovering over the paper, their eyes filled with disbelief—the battle could unfold in such an unexpected way.

"The metaphor of 'hiding a powerful move in a basic attack' is very apt." An expert wearing reading glasses was the first to recover and said in a deep voice, "This composure under pressure and this tactical thinking that confuses the opponent are not something that ordinary explorers can possess."

"Jiang Lan has far too many secrets." Another expert frowned, tapping his fingertips on the table. "The belt he left behind from his past life, the armor he can summon at any time—what are the origins of these?"

"More importantly, the energy intensity that his armor can unleash far exceeds the current technological limits of the Federation, which is simply illogical!"

Several experts huddled together, analyzing the situation one after another, their voices filled with urgency and confusion. Since the Federation launched the memory exploration project, no one's memories had ever been as enigmatic as Jiang Lan's, revealing the outline of the truth while remaining shrouded in a thick fog of mystery.

Just as everyone was arguing, Zhang Qian, who had been sitting silently with his eyes fixed on the screen, suddenly spoke slowly, his voice low and firm: "Jiang Lan's first memory exploration may be coming to an end soon."

He paused, looked at his secretary beside him, and said in a more serious tone, "Compile all his detailed information as soon as possible, without missing a single detail."

The secretary quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, Director Zhang, I will arrange for someone to take care of it immediately."

The scene switches back to the live broadcast of the memory.

After defeating Gumu, Jiang Lan looked up at the slowly rising sun on the horizon. Golden rays of sunlight shone on his armor, reflecting a warm and resolute aura. At that moment, a sense of security finally welled up within him—he finally possessed the power to protect others.

The next second, the memory suddenly shifted, and a striking scene came into view: Jiang Lan sat on the stone steps in front of the church, his hands behind his back, basking in the first rays of morning sunlight with a relaxed posture. The golden light outlined his slightly tired but still upright profile.

Beside him, Kaoru was fast asleep, her head resting unconsciously on Jiang Lan's shoulder, her breathing even and her expression serene.

This scene instantly shifted the atmosphere of the entire live stream, and the barrage of comments that were originally filled with excitement and amazement was suddenly overwhelmed by a flood of teasing and heated discussions.

Not long after, Kaoru Ichijo slowly woke up from her sleep, blinked in confusion, and her cheeks instantly turned bright red after she realized her position.

"Good morning, Officer Yitiao." Jiang Lan turned her head, looked at the slightly embarrassed man beside her, and greeted him softly with a gentle smile.

"Why...why am I leaning on you?" Kaoru Ichijo quickly straightened up, her tone filled with a mix of panic and embarrassment.

"Isn't this a good thing?" Jiang Lan's smile remained unchanged.

"This is so embarrassing..." Kaoru Ichijo covered her face, her voice full of frustration.

The moment the two spent together in the morning light was quiet and warm, like that of two close friends who had known each other for many years. As this pleasant atmosphere gradually dissipated, the memory slowly dimmed until it went completely black.

The style of the comments in the live stream has completely gone astray.

"Wow, one minute it's a thrilling battle scene, and the next it's just a slice-of-life story brimming with 'bromance'?"

"Interpersonal relationships must have been much purer back then, right? Two men leaning on each other might just be a sign of trust and reliance between close friends."

"Don't talk nonsense. Every era has its special feelings, it's just that we're more open-minded now."

"Pass it on! Jiang Lan likes men!"

……

Within his consciousness space, Jiang Lan, who witnessed this scene firsthand, nearly coughed up blood. He never imagined that such an ordinary scene in his memory would be interpreted in this way by the audience and become a so-called "famous scene."

Just as he was silently complaining, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang out in his consciousness space, interrupting his thoughts—it was the notification sound of the Federation Memory System.

[Dear Memory Enthusiast: You have been continuously exploring memories for more than eight hours. If you experience any physical discomfort, please stop exploring and exit the system immediately.]

Upon seeing this notification, Jiang Lan belatedly realized that he had already explored two memory fragments. After waking up from the hibernation pod, he didn't feel any obvious discomfort, except that his stomach was growling with hunger and he felt a constant sense of emptiness.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Lan gave up the idea of ​​continuing the exploration.

"Temporarily halt exploration."

As he gave the command, the memory livestream room, which had been in a black screen state, was completely shut down, and the faint stinging pain in his brain caused by the long period of exploration also disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Lan raised her hand to remove the memory exploration helmet from her head, then pressed the start button for the hibernation pod. The pod door slowly rose, and fresh air rushed into the pod.

As soon as he stepped out of the hibernation pod, he heard his phone in his pocket beeping incessantly with message notifications, vibrating at an alarming rate. Jiang Lan took out his phone and saw that there were already dozens of messages piled up on the screen.

Several of the messages were from Izzy, saying that she had communicated and negotiated with her mother and successfully secured a one-month grace period for Jiang Lan's rent payment, while also urging him to find a stable job within that month.

Most of the remaining information came from his federal account notifications—a barrage of cash arrival notifications popped up, leaving Jiang Lan dizzy. He quickly realized that this money must be the earnings from gifts sent by viewers in his memory livestream, which, according to the relevant regulations of the Federal Memory Exploration, were converted into cash and transferred to his account in real time.

Jiang Lan opened the Federal Account APP, glanced at the total balance, and her pupils contracted slightly—the balance had reached two million Federal Credits!

He earned two million simply by recalling two memories!

A look of joy involuntarily appeared on Jiang Lan's face. Two million Federal Dollars, while not an absolute fortune, was certainly not a small amount. It was enough for him to buy a small apartment in this city where land was incredibly valuable, thus completely escaping the predicament of renting.

After browsing the account information, Jiang Lan casually logged into the Federal Memory Forum. As soon as he entered the homepage, he saw several posts related to himself, which had soared to millions of views in just a few hours, firmly occupying the top of the hot list.

[Shocking! Jiang Lan may become the first person in the Federation's history to achieve a double S-rank, or even a triple S-rank, memory acquisition level!]

[In-depth analysis: How many secrets does Jiang Lan's true identity in the Federation hold?]

Transformation, form switching, superhuman combat power, and bizarre monsters—Jiang Lan's memories hold the secrets of civilization!

[Solid Evidence? Jiang Lan Suspected of Being Homosexual!]

The first few posts were fairly normal, but when Jiang Lan saw the last one, her lips twitched, and she felt a little helpless.

Holy crap! This rumor spread way too fast!

Jiang Lan glanced at the absurd posts, a helpless smile playing on her lips, and didn't take these baseless rumors to heart. Her livestream was currently experiencing a surge in traffic and high popularity; perhaps her earnings would rise even further when she began the second memory exploration.

Immediately, Jiang Lan turned around and went into the washroom. After a quick wash and changing into clean clothes, she planned to go out and find a restaurant to fill her stomach.

But just as he raised his hand to open the door, he suddenly stopped—Izzy was standing prettily in front of his door, seemingly holding something in her hand. When she saw him open the door, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she gave a polite smile.
