With the arrival of summer, even the deepest alleyways become exceptionally hot and humid.

Kageyama and Yaguruma leaned against the wall, their heavy breathing mingling together, adding to the restlessness of the surrounding atmosphere.

"Da da da..."

The footsteps grew closer, and the two waited quietly, the royal bee and the locust in their hands wriggling restlessly, as if they were about to strike with lightning speed at any moment!

"clatter."

With the final footstep, the alley suddenly fell silent, as if no one had ever passed through there.

Kageyama and Yaguruma did not relax; sweat streamed down their faces and fell to the ground, kicking up a small cloud of dust.

Yagura's face was pale. His feet were not bandaged, and the large amount of blood loss made him dizzy and his vision blurred.

But they dared not relax, because the footsteps stopped but did not move.

This means that someone has been standing there, watching something!

A moment later, the footsteps sounded again, becoming very hurried and getting closer and closer!

Closer! Even closer!

Their pupils contracted rapidly, and as the footsteps turned the corner where they were, they suddenly fastened the insect-devices in their hands to their belts!

"ah!!!"

The two jumped out, only to be met not by the dark muzzle of a gun, but by a piercing scream.

Kageyama was speechless as he looked at the woman in front of him, who was crouching on the ground with her head in her hands, dressed in plain black clothes.

Hey sis, why are you wearing all black in this sweltering heat?

"Don't kill me, I have money!"

She looked up in horror at the two homeless men in front of her, and tremblingly took out some money from her bag.

"What the heck... I thought those guys were chasing us. What a scare!"

Kageyama had no interest in the money in his black clothes; although he was a vagrant, he was not a bad person.

"call--"

Seeing that it was an ordinary person, Yagura relaxed, but then suddenly felt dizzy and crashed to the ground with a thud.

"Big brother!"

Hearing the commotion, Kageyama turned around, his eyes immediately turning red. He quickly squatted down and reached out to hug Yagura in his arms.

"Big brother, don't scare me!"

Looking at the pale-faced Yaguruma, Kageyama was at a loss. He had never treated anyone's injuries before, so he naturally didn't know what to do in this situation.

The woman, dressed in all black, became bolder when she saw that the two men in front of her did not harm her.

She immediately noticed the corneal fracture and deformity of the foot, which triggered her professional instincts.

"Get out of the way!"

She calmly stepped forward and pushed Kageyama, who was dressed in tattered clothes, aside.

"The patient needs emergency care. Please remain quiet."

Seeing Kageyama's expression, she calmly told him about it, then quickly placed one hand on Yagura's wound, tentatively feeling around.

"Initial assessment indicates a torn and dislocated ankle joint, a blunt force trauma to the instep, and severe external bleeding."

Seeing the blood streaming down his foot, the woman didn't even blink. She quickly grabbed Yache's foot and snapped it back into place.

Then, she quickly tore open the hem of her shirt and skillfully bandaged Yache's foot.

After finishing everything, the woman wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at Kageyama.

"Judging from when you called him 'big brother,' you must be his younger brother, right?"

Before Kageyama could speak, the woman began to explain the things that needed to be noted.

"Have you memorized everything?"

After explaining the precautions, the woman wanted to wipe the blood off her hands. After looking at it for a while, she finally wiped it on Kageyama's ripped clothes.

"I understand... Doctor."

Kageyama responded in a low voice.

"Although we don't know why he was injured, it is a doctor's duty to help the wounded."

"As for how you scared me just now, I won't blame you since you brothers are so pitiful."

The woman got up, dusted herself off, picked up her bag, and left.

They met by chance, their relationship was simply that of patient and doctor, there was nothing to linger on.

But after thinking about their clothes, she turned back, took out a few bills from her bag, and placed them in front of Kageyama, who was squatting next to Yagura.

"I only provided first aid; to fully recover, you still need to go to the hospital for a checkup."

The woman hesitated for a moment, then took a business card out of her pocket.

"If you're going to do a good deed to the end, and you don't have enough money, you can come to this hospital to find me."

Seeing Kageyama accept the business card in a daze, the woman felt relieved and walked deeper into the alley.

To get home, she had to pass through this alley, and every time she did, she worried about encountering bad people.

She really thought she had encountered it today; it almost scared her to death.

Thinking of her embarrassing moment, the woman stumbled and quickened her pace to get away from the spot.

After the woman left, Kageyama was relieved. He had thought it was Mishima and was almost scared to death.

Fortunately, I met some kind people and even happened to run into a doctor.

Kageyama was very grateful. He picked up a few banknotes from the ground, held the business card in his hand up to his eyes, and read the information on it.

"Reina Hayakawa, an emergency room doctor at a Tokyo hospital."

After noting down the doctor's name, Kageyama hoisted the corncart onto his back and hurriedly left the alley.

He's going to Shibuya Ward to ask Yuma and the others for help!

Only when they reach Shibuya can they rely on the help of others to survive.

Not long after the two left, the sound of hurried footsteps appeared and stopped in front of the alley.

Mishima adjusted his glasses and, following the bloodstains on the ground, found the spot where the two had been standing.

Seeing the pool of blood on the ground, Mishima continued to follow, only to find that the bloodstain had mysteriously disappeared!

"What bad luck, I'm still a step behind."

He had a headache and covered his forehead.

"It seems you need a little help."

The Worm squad split up, and Reiji Nogi watched Mishima's humiliated performance with a sense of satisfaction.

As the saying goes, a smile doesn't disappear; it just moves from one person's face to another.

"Ha... I'll catch them sooner or later."

Mishima looked at Reiji Nogi with a hint of displeasure.

Despite the claim of cooperation, this shipment provided nothing of value other than some substandard, low-quality insects.

On the contrary, Mishima was busy running around, but after all that work, he didn't even get a bite to eat.

"Don't worry, once things stabilize within ZECT, I will naturally provide some new assistance."

Reiji Nogi's forced smile made Mishima feel somewhat nauseous.

"How much of the Shocker technique have you actually learned?" Mishima asked boldly.

In the disaster seven years ago, the vast majority of Shockers were wiped out by Tendou and the previous generation Yuuma, along with the Zerg meteorite.

Only a small number of Zerg and Shocker survived.

The technology for repairing cards was also largely destroyed in the process.

The technology that survived ultimately took the form of mechanical aliens.

"More than enough to wipe out all the Kamen Riders."

Reiji Nogi didn't reveal a specific standard. He thought about the ultimate mechanical Worm, his eyes flashing, and then gave instructions to Mishima.

"Since we didn't catch them, let's not waste our time."

"It's the same principle as kicking that old bastard Kagami Riku down."

"You must take that position, otherwise our operation will be at risk."

Mishima also imitated Reiji Nogi, putting on a forced smile.

If he could easily be driven off by that old bastard Kagami Riku, would he still be running around like an idiot?

"That old man is not simple at all."

Mishima chuckled as he recalled the old riddle-maker.

"Leave the Kamen Rider side to me. You take care of that old man first."

Reiji Nogi remained noncommittal, gave his brief instructions, and then led the Worm squad away.

Mishima stood there, watching Reiji Nogi's departing figure. His gloomy face suddenly brightened, and he smiled abruptly.

"Nogi Reiji, hehehe..."
