As dusk settled, dinnertime in the courtyard was warm and peaceful. However, a streak of light shattered this tranquility—Kabuto Zecter emerged from the void, circling Lin Yu and emitting a unique electronic sound effect, simultaneously transmitting a message directly into his mind:

He will take you to the trial grounds. Prepare yourself.

Lin Yu put down his chopsticks and sighed softly, "So fast?"

"Where are you going?" He Xi asked, her icy blue eyes looking at him.

"I don't know exactly where it is." Lin Yu shook his head, his tone somewhat helpless. "He thinks I'm too weak and is planning to send me somewhere to train." He paused, his gaze turning to He Xi, a hint of reluctance mixed with anticipation. "Tonight... how about..."

He Xi's eyes met his, and she instantly understood his unspoken meaning. A barely perceptible blush rose on her beautiful face, and she nodded calmly, her voice soft yet firm: "Yes. Go and come back soon."

"Yes, I will," Lin Yu solemnly promised.

The night was slightly cool, and tender feelings lingered.

Late at night, Lin Yu gently pushed open He Xi's door. A delicate, serene fragrance, uniquely hers, wafted out, refreshing and soothing.

Looking up, I saw He Xi sitting quietly on the edge of the bed. Her elegant white silk nightgown perfectly outlined her breathtakingly slender figure; her long, flowing, silver hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall, contrasting beautifully with her snow-white skin. Her icy blue eyes, which seemed to understand the truths of the universe, now reflected only his image, and the faint smile on her lips seemed to shatter a thousand stars, dazzling and intoxicating.

"What, don't you want to come in?" Her heavenly voice pulled Lin Yu, who was slightly lost in thought, back to reality.

Lin Yu walked slowly towards her, his eyes full of admiration and love, and said softly, "A beautiful lady is the object of a gentleman's affection."

He Xi smiled sweetly, extending her slender finger and gently beckoning him. Faced with this, Lin Yu no longer hesitated, rushing forward like a moth to a flame, pulling her tightly into his arms. He Xi obediently tilted her head back slightly, revealing her fair, graceful swan neck, letting their tender breaths envelop them.

The beauty here is just like the poem says: "Snow on the breast, let you bite it... Drunken eyes and shy brows closed, trembling voices cannot be spoken."

Indeed: Her hair, like clouds, brushed against her snowy cheeks; her silk robes loosened, her heart lingering with tenderness. A jade censer, an ice-cold mat, and mandarin duck brocade—her powdered face and fragrant sweat dampened the mountains and seas. A night of entanglement, like fish and dragons dancing together, an ultimate pleasure, need not be described in detail.

The first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the window, gently filling the room. Lin Yu quietly woke up, turning to look at the beautiful woman still fast asleep beside him, her serene sleeping face breathtakingly beautiful. He carefully lifted the covers and got out of bed, tucking the blankets around her, afraid of disturbing her sweet dreams.

The morning air was cool yet incredibly refreshing. Lin Yu stood in the courtyard, stretching his body in front of the rising sun, feeling the surge of energy within him, and also the reluctance of his impending brief separation.

He didn't linger and went straight to the kitchen. He wanted to cook her a pot of warm porridge before leaving. This simple and ordinary gesture was filled with the deepest and most delicate concern.

A crimson light curtain unfolds in the absolute void of an unknown void. Wang Xiaoming (Tsukasa Kadoya), with his hands in his trench coat pockets, calmly steps out. He looks around, and all he sees is an endless, conceptual "emptiness," where even time and space seem ambiguous.

"Wow, that was fast. They've disappeared in no time." He said this as if he were commenting on someone who had just left, his tone carrying a hint of his usual teasing.

However, he was unaware that in the depths of this void, where even perception could be swallowed, two transcendent figures were silently watching him.

One of the figures was hazy and ethereal, seemingly composed of pure will or rules, making it difficult to discern its true form. The other wore a black trench coat, its aura as profound as the abyss itself.

The indistinct figure spoke in a emotionless voice to its companion, "You've caused this trouble; deal with it yourself."

The man in the black trench coat chuckled, his gaze fixed on Wang Xiaoming, who was still looking around in the distance. He spoke in a tone that was both deliberate and authoritative, "A ready-made 'pathfinder,' might as well use him. Why don't we throw him over 'over there' to see what's going on?"

The indistinct figure paused for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons and the possibilities, before replying simply, "Okay. Remember to bring him back later." The tone was as calm as if deciding on a trivial matter.

Just then, Wang Xiaoming, who had been wandering around the void for a while without finding anything interesting, suddenly sneezed without warning.

"Achoo!"

He rubbed his nose, a look of understanding and annoyance on his face, and muttered to himself, "That guy must be plotting against me behind my back!"

Having received his companion's consent, the man in the black trench coat no longer hesitated. He casually raised his hand in the direction of Wang Xiaoming in the distance and made a light sweeping motion—

The void surrounding Wang Xiaoming instantly distorted and shattered like a mirror, and a rift far deeper and more dangerous than the light curtain he had created himself suddenly opened beneath his feet! Before he could even react, he was instantly swallowed up and disappeared into the rift, leaving only a drawn-out, bewildered utterance:

"Feed?! Wait...!"

The Void returned to its deathly silence.

The man in the black trench coat did all this as if he had just casually tossed away some trash.

The indistinct figure said calmly, "Alright, let's wait for his signal."

"Um."

The two mysterious figures vanished as if they had never existed, leaving behind only this eternal void and an unfortunate "passing-by Kamen Rider" who was thrown into an unknown and dangerous place to "explore the way."
