Global awakening! My Kamen Rider identity has been exposed!

Chapter 59 That's the guts!

That evening, Toru Hojo specially invited Sumiko Ozawa and Takahiro Omuro to a Western restaurant for a celebration banquet to commemorate G3.

The team's first "victory".

"Officer Ozawa, why aren't you eating? This is our G3 team's first victory, we should celebrate properly." Hojo Toru looked at Ozawa Sumiko, who was sitting to the side with a cold expression, and spoke with a hint of deliberate enthusiasm.

"I don't like this kind of hypocritical place." Ozawa Sumiko's tone was cold, and the aloofness in her eyes was undisguised. She not only disliked the atmosphere here, but also disliked Hojo Toru's pretentious manner.

Hojo Toru, however, showed no embarrassment whatsoever. Instead, he said with feigned emotion, "I never expected that Officer Ozawa would like civilian food. Actually, I'm the same way. After all, I'm someone who fights to protect civilians."

"That's not necessarily true. After all, you're the kind of person who doesn't care about the safety of the victims and only cares about shooting to rack up kills," Sumiko Ozawa retorted mercilessly.

Hojo Toru's smile remained unchanged, but instead grew even more smug: "I have complete confidence in my abilities. Just watch, next time, I will definitely succeed in capturing Agito."

The following day, at the bottom of a bridge, the eight-legged creature, which should have been killed, reappeared. Just as its ability was described, it possessed an extremely terrifying regenerative ability. Even though it was not particularly strong, it was extremely difficult to kill completely. Unless it was blasted into dust in one blow, it could revive as long as a trace of a limb remained.

Shortly after the eight-legged creature appeared, the Metropolitan Police Department received a report. Sumiko Ozawa, Toru Hojo, and Takahiro Omuro immediately drove a G-trailer to the scene. With the assistance of Sumiko Ozawa and Takahiro Omuro, Toru Hojo quickly donned his G3 armor, preparing to fight the eight-legged creature again.

"Please, prove to me that yesterday's victory was not a fluke." Ozawa Sumiko looked at Hojo Toru in front of her, her tone carrying a hint of impatience, but also a last glimmer of hope.

Hojo Toru remained confident, his tone resolute: "Stay tuned. This time, I will not only utterly annihilate it, but I will also capture Agito!"

Seeing his still arrogant demeanor, the audience was filled with doubt and ridicule: Where does this guy get his confidence from, always talking about "capturing Agito"? He's not stupid, can't he see the vast difference between himself and Agito? Compared to Jiang Lan, he's like mud from clouds, yet he dares to dream of capturing Jiang Lan, it's simply a pipe dream!

Everyone had a premonition: the more arrogant Hojo Toru was now, the more pathetic he would be when he was defeated. This was the famous scene known as the "first armor-breaking moment of the Heisei era".

On the other side, the eight-legged creature, which had just been resurrected under the bridge, immediately set its sights on a mother and child passing by. Its eyes were filled with greed and ferocity as it looked at the little boy, clearly regarding him as its next prey.

Just as Hachiko was about to make his move, Hojo Toru rode up on his Guard Pursuer at breakneck speed and, using the force of the vehicle, smashed Hachiko, who was about to attack the mother and son, into the air.

"It's still alive!" Hojo Toru was shocked. He quickly drew his Scorpio gun and fired at the eight-legged creature repeatedly. Several bullets hit the creature's body.

This time, however, the eight-legged creature's strength had greatly improved. No matter how Hojo Toru shot at it, it remained firmly in place, showing no signs of falling or even being injured.

Seeing that Scorpio's attack was ineffective, Hojo Toru panicked and immediately took out the heavy weapon codenamed "Fire Lizard" and quickly assembled it with Scorpio into a howitzer—last time, he had used this howitzer to blast the eight-legged creature into a pulp.

boom!

A howitzer shell, trailing a long plume of flame, slammed into the eight-legged creature. But what happened next left Hojo Toru completely dumbfounded. The howitzer shell, which should have blasted the eight-legged creature into a pulp, had no effect on it at all. The eight-legged creature stood there unharmed, its ferocity growing stronger.

"What? It didn't work?" Hojo Toru shouted in disbelief, his confidence instantly crumbling. Before he could react, Hachitachi had already flashed in front of him.

boom!

With a wave of its eight tentacles, it slapped away the grenade launcher in Hojo Tooru's hand. Then, countless tentacles lashed wildly at Hojo Tooru's G3 armor, with a series of loud bangs. Sparks flew from the G3 armor, and the dazzling sparks were particularly glaring under the bridge.

Hojo Toru was forced to retreat repeatedly, and for a moment he was powerless to fight back, only able to passively endure the attacks of the eight legs. With a loud bang, the eight legs kicked Hojo Toru to the ground. Before he could struggle to get up, the tentacles of the eight legs attacked again, frantically lashing at his armor. The G3 armor, which was originally intact, quickly developed multiple damages.

"Chest component damaged!" "Battery output normal, can continue fighting!" The armor's alarm and Sumiko Ozawa's shouts came at the same time, but at this moment, Toru Hojo was already terrified by the eight legs and his whole body was trembling.

Immediately afterwards, Hachizuki grabbed Hojo Toru's body and slammed him hard against the bridge pier. With a loud crash, the pier was smashed open with cracks. Hojo Toru fell heavily to the ground, panting heavily, his chest heaving violently, clearly having suffered internal injuries.

He tried to struggle and resist, but his legs felt as heavy as lead, and he couldn't stand up at all. The immense fear had completely consumed his heart, and even the courage to resist had vanished.

The eight-legged creature slowly walked up to him, grabbed him by the neck, lifted him high, and then hurled him violently towards the riverbank. Hojo Toru's body rolled several times on the ground before crashing heavily against the rocks on the riverbank, his armor becoming increasingly damaged.

"Hojo, get up! The battle has only just begun!" Sumiko Ozawa was still anxiously calling out into the communicator. She knew that the G3 armor was only damaged externally, the core battery was still working, and there was still a possibility of continuing to fight.

But by this time, Hojo Toru was already terrified by the eight legs, and there was no trace of his previous arrogance left. He reached out with trembling hands and pressed the emergency disengagement switch on his belt.

"Emergency disengagement switch activated!" "Officer Hojo, prepare to disengage from your armor!"

Click—

The G3 armor slowly unlocked and opened, and a terrified Hojo Toru scrambled out, his face filled with panic and fear. He screamed in terror as he stumbled into the river and fled towards the opposite bank, completely ignoring the G3 armor he had abandoned—the armor he had once been so proud of, the armor he had used to show off, now lying forlornly on the ground, covered in damage and dust.

At this moment, Hojo Toru was completely overwhelmed by fear and looked utterly disheveled, bearing no resemblance whatsoever to a Metropolitan Police Department officer or G3 equipment operator.

Seeing Hojo Toru's disheveled escape, the audience was completely stunned. A moment later, the screen was flooded with comments, full of mockery and disdain: "Running away? Is that all? He still dares to say he's going to capture Agito?"

"What are you going to use to catch him? His sarcastic, mocking mouth?"

"That's outrageous. Judging from his appearance, he's probably been scared to tears. His face is contorted with fear."

"He's not even as good as Hikawa Makoto. Even if Hikawa Makoto is in dire straits, as long as his armor can still fight, he will never back down!"

"This guy does have some skill, but only a little. He's such a coward. He actually left the G3 armor behind and ran away. It's outrageous."

"They were so arrogant before, shouting that they wanted to capture Jiang Lan, but now they've been beaten so badly by the Eight Legs that they've lost all their armor. What a joke."

"Look at him, he's practically terrified by the eight legs. With that kind of courage and fighting spirit, how dare he control G3?"

Regarding Hojo Toru's iconic "first armor-breaking moment of the Heisei era," viewers expressed their disgust at his low character, arrogance, and tendency to abandon his armor and flee in disarray at the slightest setback. They argued that such a person was unworthy of piloting the G3 armor and even less worthy of being a police officer in the Metropolitan Police Department.

Shortly after Hojo Toru fled in a sorry state, Jiang Lan arrived at the scene. Against the relatively weak unknown life form, the Eight-Legged One, Jiang Lan completely overwhelmed it; the Eight-Legged One couldn't even last ten rounds against him.

Within a few moves, Jiang Lan had gained a decisive advantage, and then unleashed her ultimate move without hesitation, kicking the eight-legged creature to obliterate it completely, leaving not a single limb behind. The clean and fluid fighting movements, and the decisive and efficient ultimate move, delighted the audience, who cheered repeatedly.

However, what viewers were most looking forward to was yet to come. As the eight legs were severed, a new memory fragment slowly surfaced in Jiang Lan's mind.

All the viewers were filled with curiosity: what kind of strength would Jiang Lan display when she put on the G3 armor?

This brand-new memory fragment provides everyone with the answer: Jiang Lan used his own strength to prove a fact to everyone: it wasn't that the G3 armor wasn't powerful enough, but that the person controlling it was too incompetent.

Jiang Lan's proxy service is officially launched!
