Kamen Rider: Evolution

According to the information Jiang Xia reviewed from the Earth Library, the giant acceleration system on the Sky Ladder has been completed and can summon extremely large meteorites out of thin air based on coordinates.

Most ZECT staff were completely unaware of this, only knowing that the Sky Ladder could be used to access water resources in space, allowing Earth to regain its oceans.

But these are just a pretext. The real goal is to bring a colossal meteorite containing a huge number of Zerg eggs to Earth, where humans will live inside the Zerg.

However, if we think about it carefully, what if we disregard the alien insect factor and find a meteorite comparable in size to a planet?

However, this means the battlefield will have to be moved to outer space.

Regarding the acquisition of control over various mechanical devices, Jiang Xia had crammed on relevant knowledge in Fengdu, and some coordinate parameters also needed to be slightly adjusted.

The celestial ladder and space station, built with the collective power of the entire Earth, boast top-tier protection and access control.

In fact, no one can obtain the highest level of authority through their own means.

However, it's relatively easy for Jiang Xia, who now possesses pseudo-omniscience and omnipotent power. He may lack technology, but he should be able to succeed in science fiction.

"If my hand trembles even slightly, I'll become the culprit who destroys the world. It's always like this. How can the world be so fragile? Every enemy can destroy the heavens and the earth. How are we knights supposed to survive like this?" Jiang Xia muttered to himself.

It seems that at some point, destroying the world became synonymous with most powers. If you don't destroy a world to prove your power, it means you're a weakling.

The world is about to flip the table. That's how the Knight universe is. If you can't win, you start over. The world is always being created and destroyed, and being born again from destruction.

Suddenly, a dish of his favorite food appeared on Jiangxia's dining table.

He looked up along his arm and saw Kusakabe Hiro's slightly embarrassed face.

“This is for you to eat; I think you need it right now,” she said.

Jiang Xia looked over in surprise. It seemed that Kusakabe Hiroshi's embarrassment just now was just his illusion. In the blink of an eye, he had returned to that seemingly expressionless look.

The proprietress looked at Kusakabe Hiroshi with a shocked expression.

The guest was sitting in the most inconspicuous corner.

They all seemed to have overlooked this spot, but Xiao Xi, who worked in the kitchen, noticed the customer and took the initiative to prepare a dish that wasn't on the menu.

He didn't even order any food.

The proprietress walked up to Kusakabe Hiroshi and whispered, "Hiroshi, do you know that boy? Is he a classmate or a good friend?"

"I don't know, I just feel a sense of familiarity."

Kusakabe Hiroshi secretly observed Emi, a hint of shyness on his face, but his eyes shone with undisguised joy, as if he were cherishing a divinely bestowed treasure.

Chapter 227 Kidnapped

Jiang Xia quietly finished the lunch that Kusakabe Hiro had given her.

Hiroshi Kusakabe was still wearing that simple but clean white outfit.

She wore a red apron with slight oil stains, and some sunlight shone on her, giving her a faint warm hue.

Meanwhile, the proprietress, looking curious, sat mysteriously next to Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia immediately noticed that gossipy look in her eyes, and could even guess the question she was about to ask him.

Here, Yumiko Takemiya also takes care of Hiroshi Kusakabe. In this post-apocalyptic world, it is common for the two of them to stick together for warmth.

There was more than one thing that piqued Yumiko's curiosity: she had never met Jiang Xia, and she had watched Xiao Xi grow up. Who exactly was this person?

She used to try so hard to find Xiao Xi a suitable person, but Xiao Xi always seemed unwilling, as if she already had someone in her heart.

Even Kagami, who had worked there for several years, couldn't win her over, and none of his dating tactics ever worked.

One doubt after another arose in her mind. If she wanted to be with Xiao Xi, she had to get past her first.

If she hadn't investigated thoroughly, how could she have handed Xiao Xi over to a strange man?

"When did you meet Xiaoxi?" Takemiya Yumiko asked.

“It’s been a long time, but Xiao Xi probably doesn’t remember me anymore,” Jiang Xia said. “Thank you for always caring about Xiao Xi.”

Takemiya Yumiko was taken aback. It seemed like the roles were reversed. Shouldn't she be the one saying this to someone else?

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her." Jiang Xia took the opportunity to stand up and walk into the kitchen, seeing that Takemiya Yumiko was deep in thought.

He wasn't good at handling such situations, and besides, he had something more important to do right now.

Jiang Xia stopped Kusakabe Hiroshi, who was washing dishes, and gently took off her slightly yellowed gloves.

"You?" Kusakabe Hiroshi was about to speak, but was immediately silenced by Jiang Xia's index finger.

"Do you believe me?" Jiang Xia asked, looking into Kusakabe Hiroshi's eyes.

"Yes, I believe you. Although I've never met you, your presence makes me happy."

Kusakabe Hiroshi nodded, then looked at Jiang Xia and said softly.

"That's enough."

Jiang Xia smiled, reached out and wrapped his arms around her back, then gently pulled, and the red apron instantly slipped off her body, revealing her true appearance.

"Today is not a good day for work, so would you like to come with me now, Ms. Kusakabe Hiroshi?"

Watching Jiang Xia's actions, Kusakabe Xi suddenly seemed to see a series of images in her mind. In her memory, it seemed that she was with him, smiling happily.

There were various familiar dishes on the table, including her own, as if she had drunk a little wine, with white mist drifting in the air.

But she seemed to have never met the other two people, both of whom gave her a strong but unreal feeling.

“Yes, I do.” Kusakabe Hiroshi grasped the outstretched hand without hesitation.

It doesn't matter if you don't know where you're going, where you're going to end, or who the person in front of you is.

It seems that just as her life was about to come to an end, she finally met the person she had been waiting for.

It doesn't matter how much time is left.

Jiang Xia took her hand and led her out of the Sal Restaurant.

"Boss lady, can I borrow Xiao Xi for a day?" Jiang Xia said to Zhu Gong Gongzi.

"Xiao Xi, are you really okay?" Yumiko Takemiya ignored Jiang Xia and turned to look at Kusakabe Hiro with concern.

"Yes, he will take good care of me." Kusakabe Hiro nodded firmly.

"It can't be just one day, only half a day. You have to be back in the evening."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Takemiya Yumiko glanced at Etsuka warily.

"Okay," Jiang Xia nodded.

Half a day is enough time to do a lot of things. He hadn't planned to waste too much time anyway, as the meteorite's fall was imminent, but there were some things that had to be done.

Just as Jiang Xia was pulling Kusakabe Hiroshi away, a person wearing sunglasses, a white coat, and carrying a long bamboo pole and fish on his shoulder brushed past them.

Fish are as precious as gold in this world of scarce water resources; to be able to catch a fish with a fishing rod is nothing short of a miracle.

The moment that person saw Kusakabe Hiroshi's profile, he quickly took off his sunglasses, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

But when he saw Kusakabe Hiroshi holding another man's hand, his eyes instantly darkened.

He immediately tossed the fishing rod and all the fish in his hand to Takemiya Yumiko, who was watching Kusakabe Hiroshi leave, and said urgently:

"Keep an eye on things for me, I'll be right back."

"What's your name?" Takemiya Yumiko asked, puzzled. Why were there so many strange people around?

"Heavenly Dao General Manager".

In the past, he would definitely repeat his grandmother's words as a self-introduction to reinforce his memory, but now he's not in the mood for that anymore.

He wanted to see who this guy who took his sister away was, and why they seemed so intimate. He was already showing great restraint by not making a move.

"I don't even know your name yet?" Kusakabe Hiroshi looked up at the man beside him and whispered.

"Jiang Xia, you must remember this well, and you must not forget it."

"Jiang Xia, I've remembered, I won't forget." Kusakabe Hiroshi nodded.

“It’s okay to forget, you’ll remember someday,” Jiang Xia said with a smile.

"Let's take a break after walking for so long."

Jiang Xia gently helped her sit down. Although they hadn't walked too far, it was still a burden on Kusakabe Hiroshi's body, even for a protozoan.

That's right, at this point in time, Kusakabe Hiroshi was still a protozoan, or rather, nothing had changed except for the meteorite growing larger and the alien insects turning into protozoans.

Kusakabe Hiroshi, who was already buried under the rubble after being hit by the meteorite, suffered almost fatal injuries here. It can be said that she was able to survive the meteorite fall precisely because she was a protozoan.

If it were a human, they would have died the moment the meteorite hit the ground.

As protozoa, alien creatures, their vitality and lifespan far exceed those of humans. Although Kusakabe Hiroshi survived because she was a protozoa, her life force was almost exhausted.

"I've prepared a small gift for you," Jiang Xia said softly, crouching down.

"When you open your eyes again, your future will be rewritten. You will become healthy, happy, and most importantly, alive."

Kusakabe Hiro didn't understand what the gift was, but she still listened to Jiang Xia's words, gently closed her eyes, covered her eyelids, and looked as if she had fallen asleep.

Jiang Xia's hand gently covered her body.

Kusakabe Hiroshi slowly opened his eyes, as if nothing had happened.

The world hasn't changed; it's still the same world where yellow sand obscures the sky. Everything around is quiet, even eerily so.

It was as if a deathly silence had fallen, and even the faint sound of the wind had disappeared.

Then she looked up and saw a sparrow struggling to fly in the air, floating in the air as if it had become a lifelike sculpture, suspended in the air by invisible ropes.

She couldn't help but think how wonderful it would be if sparrows could move.

Suddenly, the world seemed to come alive again, just as she had imagined. The sparrow chirped, and the world began to come alive once more.

Chapter 228 Seizure

What's wrong with me?

Kusakabe Hiroshi felt the lightness in her body; it was only now that she realized it.

Seeing Xiao Xi's expression, Jiang Xia nodded slightly, then calmed the power within his body.

Sure enough, he still couldn't bear to watch Xiao Xi die in front of him.
