As a weirdo, I like being a Kamen Rider.

The wooden door of the photo studio closed gently behind him. As soon as Lin Chen lifted his foot, the sensation under his feet changed from the familiar wooden steps to the cool asphalt pavement.

He subconsciously looked up—the familiar streets and alleys of Tokyo had completely vanished, replaced by a wide and clean European-style street, lined with low buildings with red-tiled roofs and pointed eaves. The street signs were written in unfamiliar Japanese, and the air was filled with the faint aroma of coffee and bread. A breeze brushed his cheeks, and even the temperature seemed a few degrees warmer than before.

"...The world has changed again."

Looking at the new world, Lin Chen was somewhat amazed by the wonder of the photo studio.

His gaze casually swept across the street before settling on the intersection not far away.

A familiar yet unfamiliar figure was roughly grabbing another person's collar and slamming them against a lamppost.

It's Tsukasa Kadoya.

But it doesn't quite look like it.

His signature magenta jacket was gone, replaced by a dark brown casual jacket. His hair stood on end in a messy, spiky mess, making him look like a hedgehog with its fur standing on end. Most bizarrely, his eyes had turned a vivid crimson, and his tone was rude, completely transforming him into a different person.

"Hey! Kid, come out here right now, I know you're hiding here!"

The man he was grabbing by the collar was a young man in a green messenger uniform. He was pale, trembling all over, and unable to say a word. He could only shake his head in terror.

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, stopped, and stood there with his arms crossed, observing.

He knew Tsukasa Kadoya's personality all too well: lazy, easygoing, stubborn but soft-hearted, and even if he were to take action, he would never be so violent and rude. The fierce and menacing appearance before him was clearly not his true will.

Just then, something unexpected happened.

The messenger, pinned against the streetlight, shuddered violently. His once-normal skin tone quickly turned ashen, and it felt as if quicksand was surging beneath his skin. Fine grains of sand kept falling from his pores, collar, and cuffs, making a soft rustling sound.

In just two seconds, a strange creature with mole-like features appeared in front of the messenger. Its body was twisted and swollen, its head protruded with a sharp, long snout, its limbs became short and thick and sharp, and its back was covered with grayish-brown armor.

The Mole Demon God.

Lin Chen recognized the other party's identity at a glance.

Imagin is a monster from the Kamen Rider Den-O world. Imagin is a life form of thought that comes from a time rift and gains physical form by making a wish contract with a human.

They will escape to the past and tamper with history after the contract is completed, and can only be completely destroyed by destroying their core.

Upon seeing the monster appear, the possessed Tsukasa Kadoya erupted with a violent fighting spirit, abruptly releasing his grip and flicking his right hand, revealing a train ticket with a train image on it at his fingertips.

"I'll deal with you!"

He shouted gruffly and swiped the ticket at the Den-O Driver that appeared out of thin air at his waist.

"Transform!"

A burst of red light erupted, and blazing flame-like armor covered the entire body, with sharp and flamboyant red and gold lines, and the single horn on the head burned like flames!

"Kamen Rider Den-O!"

"Holy Sword Form!"

Momotaros's furious voice emanated from his armor, full of imposing presence. His right hand was already gripping the Electric Slicer at his waist, ready to strike a stylish pose and deliver a satisfying slash to the mole-like Otherworldly being.

He even thought of his lines.

But just then—

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sudden burst of intense photon gunfire shattered the tranquility of the street.

Lin Chen didn't even bother to transform. He simply pulled out his dark gold Earth Emperor phone from his pocket, quickly pressed the 106-round burst command, and condensed dark gold photon energy gathered at the muzzle. Without the slightest hesitation, he pulled the trigger on the newly appeared mole-like alien god.

They're just mass-produced grunts; not worth wasting time transforming into.

Dark golden light bullets rained down like a storm, precisely covering the Mole Demon God. Before it could even scream, its body exploded inch by inch in the violent photon energy, turning into countless grains of sand and specks of light, completely dissipating into the air.

The entire process takes no more than three seconds.

[Ding! Defeat the mass-produced monster (Mole Demon God), gain 1 evolution point.]

The system notification sounded coldly in his mind. Lin Chen put away his Earth Emperor phone and expressionlessly patted the dust off the corner of his clothes.

A little evolutionary progress is better than nothing.

On the other side...

Den-O's sword form maintained its cool sword-wielding pose, frozen in place, its eyes wide open, its red compound eyes almost bulging out. The domineering line that was on the tip of its tongue got stuck in its throat, and it couldn't utter a sound for a long time.

The air was deathly silent.

A gentle breeze blew by, stirring up a few fallen leaves from the ground.

Den-Wang slowly lowered his head, looked at his empty space in front of him, and then at Lin Chen, who was calmly standing in the distance. His brain immediately went blank.

……what?

I've just made my entrance!

The pose isn't finished yet!

He hasn't had enough of showing off his coolness yet!

You just killed the monster instantly?

After a full three seconds of stunned silence, Momotaros finally reacted. A surge of overwhelming rage instantly rose to his head, making his armor tremble with anger. He turned around abruptly and let out a deafening roar at Lin Chen.

"Hey—!! What are you doing?!"

"That's my prey—!!"

"I just struck my coolest pose, and you shot me dead! Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?!"

He was so angry that he jumped up and down on the spot, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, wishing he could rush up and argue with Lin Chen immediately, his crimson eyes filled with resentment and anger.

"Don't you know the rules?!"

"Fighting is about stylishly swinging your sword, not resorting to such despicable and shameless sneak attacks!"

"My dashing entrance! My perfect debut! You've ruined it all!!!"

Momotaros grew more and more excited as he roared, his voice so loud that it could be heard throughout the entire street, like a child whose favorite cake had been stolen.

Lin Chen glanced at him indifferently, his tone calm and unwavering: "Strange, anyone can be beaten. Whoever kills first gets the prize."

"you--!!"

Momotaros was so choked up that he couldn't say a word, his chest heaving violently, and he was so angry that he almost exploded on the spot.

In the end, he could only snort angrily and throw a punch to deactivate his transformation.

Tsukasa Kadoya reappeared, still with his spiky hair and red eyes, hands on his hips, looking annoyed, sulking and muttering "Damn it" and "I'm so angry."

Just then, Tsukasa Kadoya's body suddenly stiffened, and a struggle flashed across his originally irritable expression. Clearly, his true consciousness was beginning to resist Momotaros's possession.

He suddenly looked up and shouted at Hikari Natsumi, who had just walked out of the photo studio not far away, "Natsumi! Click me! Quick!"

Guangxia was stunned for a moment, her face full of doubt.

Click on him? What does that mean?

Although she felt the request was inexplicable and strange, seeing Tsukasa Kadoya's pained and struggling expression, she gritted her teeth, quickly stepped forward, raised her right hand, and used her unique technique—the Laughing Finger Zen.

With a light touch of his fingertip, he precisely landed on Tsukasa Kadoya's neck.

"puff--"

The next second, Tsukasa Kadoya shuddered, then burst into uncontrollable laughter, his laughter hearty and completely devoid of his previous irritability.

A bright red shadow floated out from above his head and burst into laughter; it was Momotaros.

"Hahahaha! It's so itchy! So itchy!"

Tsukasa Kadoya, clutching his knees, laughed until tears streamed down his face. His previous rage vanished, his eyes regaining their calm. He straightened up and gave Natsumi a thumbs-up: "Well done, Natsumi!"

"You bastard! What did you do to me?!"

Momotaros floated around in the sky, laughing and shouting.

Tsukasa Kadoya rubbed his temples, slowly calming down. Looking at the red figure floating in the sky, he slowly explained, "This guy is an Imagin, just like the monster from before."

"Another Demon God?" Hikari Natsumi blinked, looking curious.

"That's right." Tsukasa Kadoya nodded. "They can only exist by attaching themselves to human bodies. Without a body, they have no physical form and can only float like this."

These words reached Momotaros's ears without missing a single one.

His eyes darted around, instantly locking onto Lin Chen not far away. His eyes lit up, and he immediately forgot his anger. With a wicked grin, he swooped down and charged straight at Lin Chen's head.

"Hey! You bastard who stole my body! I might as well borrow yours for a bit!"

The distance was too close, and the speed was too fast.

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously tried to dodge to the side, but Momotaros had already rushed in front of him, and the red figure crashed into him.

however--

The expected possession did not occur.

"Bang!"

With a soft thud, Momotaros seemed to have crashed into an invisible, hard barrier. He was thrown back into the air, tumbling several times before finally regaining his footing.

He clutched his throbbing head, staring at Lin Chen in shock, his voice trembling: "You... what kind of monster are you?!"

It actually bounced off?

He has possessed countless humans without ever failing. He can easily possess any normal human; this is the instinct of the Otherworldly God.

But the man in front of him actually bounced him away!

Lin Chen looked down at his body, his face expressionless.

He was not human to begin with.

Orphnochs lack the life foundation of humans and have no "human time anchor." The possession abilities of the Otherworldly gods are ineffective against them.

Momotaros wanted to try again, but Tsukasa Kadoya stopped him by reaching out his hand.

"Don't waste your energy," Tsukasa Kadoya said calmly. "He's not human; you can't possess him."

Momotaros was taken aback, then curled her lip, abandoning any thoughts of Lin Chen, and angrily charged at Kadoya Tsukasa again: "Damn it! Then I'll use your body one more time!"

This time, Tsukasa Kadoya had clearly learned his lesson and was prepared. With quick reflexes, he grabbed Yusuke Onodera, who had just walked over, and threw him at Momotaros without hesitation.

"for you!"

"Why??"

Yusuke Onodera was completely bewildered and hadn't even realized what was happening when Momotaros rammed into his body.

next second.

Onodera's hair instantly stood on end, turning into the same spiky hairstyle as Kadoya Tsukasa from before, and his pupils turned a bright red.

Hikari stared at Onodera's instantly changed expression for a full two seconds, her eyes reddened, and she squatted down on the ground in a wronged manner, her shoulders trembling slightly, unable to hold back her sobs.

"Ugh... Onodera... Onodera, he..."

When Tsukasa Kadoya saw Hikari Natsumi crying, he panicked and hurriedly waved his hands, explaining, "Hey, hey, hey! Don't cry, don't cry! He's just possessed by an Imagin. That's what happens when someone's possessed!"

Kō Natsumi, who was squatting on the ground, raised her tear-filled face, clearly not believing it, and continued to hug her legs and sob.

Momotaros was clearly very unhappy that he failed to possess Tsukasa Kadoya. He angrily rushed up to Tsukasa Kadoya and swung his fist at him.

But his fists posed no threat to Tsukasa Kadoya.

Tsukasa Kadoya looked relaxed, dodging left and right as if teasing a child, easily deflecting all of Momotaros's punches and kicks, and even managing to make a few sarcastic remarks, which infuriated Momotaros, but he couldn't even touch the hem of Tsukasa Kadoya's clothes.

He reached out and pressed down on Onodera's head, picking at his ear with his little finger as he slowly said, "Stop fooling around. Let's have a cup of tea together. I know a really good coffee shop."

He paused, then deliberately emphasized, "I still have many questions for you about this world, and by the way... I'd like to treat you to some cake."

Momotaros, who was just fuming, suddenly perked up his ears, his eyes lit up, and his irritable aura vanished instantly.

"I want pudding!"

Lin Chen stood to the side, watching from beginning to end in silence.

The "Four Idiots of the Tram" truly live up to their name.
