Kamen Rider: Evolution

“You’ve avenged me, brother,” Kagami Ryo said.

The Zerg Suppression Bracelet is working continuously. It is made up of the power that Jiang Xia himself splits into and has the ability to create and control Zerg.

For the Zerg, it is an enhancement agent that increases their strength, but it is also a dangerous weapon that can steal the Zerg's power.

The Worm Bracelet had completely drained the power of the Bell-Skewer Worm, turning its body back into a human's. At this moment, Kagami Ryo had lost more than a third of his body's blood and was beyond saving.

Kagami saw her younger brother, whose eyes had lost their luster, and gently stroked his face.

He knew that the insect-restricting bracelet that Jiang Xia gave him was not a lifeline, but rather poison, a poison a hundred times more potent than the most potent poison in the world for Kagami Ryo.

For Kagami, who had lived with Ryo for over twenty years, he knew that the moment Ryo put on the bracelet, Ryo's life had already entered its countdown.

Because Liang couldn't accept it, couldn't accept the memories he had as a Zerg, because Liang, like himself, had a kind heart.

The moment he received the bracelet, he was truly grateful to Jiang Xia for allowing him to see his brother one more time, in a human way.

So even if Jiang Xia deducts all of his salary, he will obediently accept it.

"But did Jiang Xia already guess this ending?" Kagami slowly raised her head, looking at the sun hanging in the sky, constantly emitting bursts of light, and wondered.

"It seems we've both lost."

Jiang Xia looked at Tendou Souji to the side and said, "Kagami neither decisively killed the alien insects nor resurrected his brother."

"Grandma once said that people become weak when they fall in love with someone, but people don't need to feel ashamed of it, because it's not real weakness."

Tendou Souji slowly raised his hand, and red beetles circled around him.

In an instant, all the alien insects that Kagami Ryo had stopped were wiped out.

Chapter 187 Underground

Kagami Ryo's body, which had reverted to human form, disappeared as green fireworks after his complete death.

Everything about him was a mimicry, except for a baseball and the bracelet that Kagami Shin had kept on him.

This can be considered Kagami Ryo's keepsake.

"The banquet eventually turned into a farewell party."

Jiang Xia looked at Kagami, who was completely drunk, and shook his head helplessly.

It looks like Kagami won't be able to go back by herself today.

Jiang Xia turned to look at Tiandao Zongsi, who pointed to the tree flowers, indicating that he couldn't help, as motorcycles were not suitable for carrying too many people.

"Alright, I'll help you one last time, Kagami."

After sending the Tiandao siblings away, Jiang Xia began to take care of Kagami's body.

Meanwhile, Kusakabe Hiroshi was in charge of the leftovers from the farewell party.

The sunlight streaming through the windows of the Sal restaurant is gradually fading; as time goes by...

Kagami suddenly stood up slowly, and a strong stench of alcohol emanated from his mouth, flowing directly into the toilet.

Kagami is still not fully conscious; Jiang Xia has only slightly controlled his body.

Jiang Xia looked around to make sure no one would disturb him at this moment, then restrained Kagami's body and slowly walked down into the basement of the Sal Restaurant.

As they descended deeper and deeper, the surroundings grew increasingly dark until Kagami, whom he was carrying, entered the underground passage.

Jiang Xia has been busy these past few days, using his own abilities to build a basement exclusively for himself in the ground beneath the Sal Restaurant.

Upon entering, the bright white lights illuminated one by one, revealing the entire interior of the basement.

It's somewhat like a laboratory, but right in the center there's a medical experimental table that looks like it's used for surgery.

His knight's belt was casually placed on the table to the side.

After clearing the alcohol from Kagami's body, Jiang Xia waved his hand.

Kagami's body floated into the air and then lay on the slightly cold laboratory table.

Kagami's eyes were closed, her face was calm, and her breathing was leisurely, as if she were in the sleep of a baby.

The transparent glass in the recesses on both sides of the medical table slowly rose up, like a culture chamber, enveloping Kagami inside.

A beam of blue, transparent light shot directly from the experimental table, swept across Kagami's body, and recorded all of his physical data.

This is somewhat like a physical examination, but the things Jiang Xia makes himself are much more professional and effective than the medical equipment in hospitals.

"It seems that Kagami has indeed been exercising well lately."

Jiang Xia's voice suddenly became low, as if he was deliberately lowering his voice, "But it still doesn't meet the requirements of the steel bucket."

Just as Jiang Xia was looking at the data about Kagami's body on the monitor, a series of coughs suddenly came from the laboratory table next to him.

"It seems the medical pod is working. Although it's only moderately effective for me, it's probably the best way to heal humans."

"How are you feeling? Are the effects of alcohol still on your body, Kagami?"

Kagami, who had just opened her eyes, screamed in fright.

He felt as if he had been kidnapped by someone, as if he had been stuffed into a transparent coffin.

"What's going on, Jiang Xia? Where is this place?"

Kagami turned his head to look around, and what frightened him was that this place looked too much like an operating room.

What terrified him even more was that Jiang Xia, standing next to him, was holding a scalpel, as if considering making an incision in him.

"Answer my question first: are you still conscious?"

Kagami swallowed hard in fear: "I'm very clear-headed, I'm fully conscious."

"That's about right, the medical pod is working."

"Medical pod?"

"You can get up now. This time it's very expensive to use it once."

After Jiang Xia finished speaking, the glass door split in the middle and slowly retracted, transforming into a very hard metal bed.

"what?"

Kagami jumped down from above with a puzzled look on her face. Jiang Xia said:

"This is a medical device specifically designed to repair human injuries, and you are the first person to use it."

"You can go now. Remember not to be late tomorrow." Jiang Xia waved his hand, indicating that Kagami should leave.

"Is this still the place where I work?"

Kagami, who had been kicked out by Jiang Xia, scratched his head. He had been working here for a long time, but he had never noticed that Sal Restaurant had a basement.

"Kagami, are you alright?"

Kusakabe Hiro, who had just finished cleaning up the restaurant, looked at Kagami, who was standing blankly at the kitchen door, and asked.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Who exactly is Jiang Xia? How could he produce a bracelet that restricts the alien insects, and also have that basement?

Could it be that he's also a member of the organization, just like me, with two identities?

Kagami left the Sal restaurant, burying his doubts in his heart, but he now believed that Jiang Xia would at least not harm him.

After Kagami left, in the dark alley next to the Sal restaurant.

Misaki Yuuki pulled down the black hood on her head and walked step by step out of the alley along the gravel path.

Instead of her usual women's suit, she wore a white turtleneck sweater underneath.

He wore a black trench coat that reached his knees, completely covering his body and providing ample disguise.

This outfit wasn't part of the organization's combat uniform; it was a disguise she bought herself to conceal her identity.

Given ZECT's strength, there's no need for pretense. Strictly speaking, they are a violent organization that doesn't need evidence to arrest people. This time, it was Misaki Yuuki who acted on his own.

However, her target was not Kagami, but Kabuto.

Misaki Yuuki knew this was where Kagami worked, but she didn't expect that the person who transformed into Kabuto would also frequently appear here.

She had already determined the location; all she had to do was wait and watch.

Misaki Yuuki took out her phone and began to record the restaurant from every angle.

This location is crucial for capturing Kabuto; we mustn't alert the Kabuto's host to anything unusual.

Just as Misaki Yuzuki was about to leave, a thick arm pressed down firmly on her arm.

The immense strength rendered her almost immobile.

A tall man wearing a black trench coat said:

"Has your current action been approved by headquarters, or are you acting on your own behind closed doors?"

"Are you from headquarters?"

Misaki Yuuki was taken aback at first, then spoke.

"The operation to capture Kabuto has begun, and I hope you can lend us a hand and help headquarters recover the Rider Belt."

Our headquarters has already taken notice of the people at this restaurant, so you can trust us.

"We will use the safest method to capture Kabuto, and we won't hurt anyone," he whispered.

Confused by the words of the tall man in front of her, Misaki Yuuki nodded thoughtfully and said:

"I will tell you everything I know."

"That's perfect." The tall man looked at the phone that originally belonged to Misaki Yuuki and smiled.

While capturing the armored creature was important, it wasn't his ultimate goal; his goal was the aroma of the food emanating from it.

Chapter 188 Restoring Strength

When it mimicked this person, it inadvertently smelled a special fragrance.

It felt as if every cell in my body was simultaneously experiencing a feeling of hunger.

It was a craving stemming from its genetic instincts, a feeling that nearly drove it mad.
