Kamen Rider: Evolution

He has no fighting ability, but the Kamen Rider Odin that he controls does.

Kamen Rider Odin is a mass-produced Rider created by Shiro Kanzaki. Although mass-produced, Odin is the strongest Rider in the Mirror World, possessing three Survival Cards.

Odin not only has ridiculously strong base stats and contracted beasts, but he also has the ability to reverse time. If Kanzaki Shiro is not satisfied with the result of the match, he will activate Time Descent to reverse the time of the entire world and start over.

If Shiro Kanzaki wanted, this knightly battle could be repeated indefinitely, making it pointless for these knights to fight each other.

End things that are meaningless as soon as possible.

The car carrying Jiang Xia continued towards the college.

ORE News Agency.

Several burly men in black suits suddenly barged in. They looked around and swept their sharp eyes across each person at their workstation.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Daisuke Okubo, the president of ORE News Agency, stood up from his seat. He looked at the bulging outlines of the men in black at the waist and was greatly alarmed.

He was a journalist, a war correspondent who had even been to the battlefield to gather real news.

If he wasn't mistaken, these men all had guns on their waists. They were well-trained and blocked all the entrances and exits the moment they entered.

But these people aren't kidnappers. The first thing kidnappers do is pull out a gun and point it at the hostage. Are they gangsters?

"Right now, we can only stabilize the situation first, and then figure out a way to take control of the Metropolitan Police Department," Daisuke Oguchi thought.

"Are you the president?" one of the young men in a black suit asked coldly.

"Yes." Daisuke Okubo replied calmly.

"This is an arrest warrant. Shinji Kido, an intern at ORE News Agency, needs to come with us now." The young man pulled out an arrest warrant with Metropolitan Police Department certification and handed it to Daisuke Okubo.

“Kido? Impossible, impossible. Kido is a kind and helpful person.”

Daisuke Okubo took the arrest warrant and carefully read its contents.

Although he shook his head repeatedly, he had to admit that the arrest warrant was real when he saw it.

It has the official seal of the Metropolitan Police Department, and not just one department. Just how much trouble has Kido gotten himself into that warrants an arrest warrant?

When he recognized him, Daisuke Okubo realized that calling the police would be useless now; if he called the police now, the person who would answer the phone would be the person standing right in front of him.

It's like calling the police and getting them to arrest you, and the level of authority on the other end is terrifying.

He certainly didn't want to make the situation where someone in the courtroom sued him.

"Please cooperate with our work. This is a necessary procedure. Please tell us where Shinji Kido is now?" the young man in black asked.

Shinji Kido is not at the company right now. If he were here, given the level of danger of the arrest warrant, the first thing he would do is pin him to the ground, then search him, remove any dangerous items from his person, and take him away, rather than just standing guard at the door.

“I sent him out to cover the news, and I’m bringing him back right now.” Daisuke Okubo respectfully returned the arrest warrant to the other party.

"Kido, come back to the company right now. It's about your internship." Daisuke Okubo said while making a phone call, sizing up the young man in black, afraid of saying the wrong thing and being pinned to the ground on the spot.

"Huh? Okay, boss, we'll be right back." Shinji Kido, who was walking down the street looking at the vast sea of ​​people in front of him, opened his mouth wide when he heard Daisuke Okubo's words, and then a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

He knew that the president must appreciate him and want to promote him to a permanent position ahead of schedule.

After all, he and the editor-in-chief were really, really close. In his mind, the editor-in-chief was someone who loved journalism very much and would definitely not fire him.

As Shinji Kido excitedly ran towards the company, he failed to notice that a winding red dragon was staring at him from inside the glass of a distant building.

After Shinji Kido hung up the phone, Daisuke Okubo slowly put down his phone, looked at the young man in front of him, and asked in a low voice:

"Can you tell me what Kido did wrong? He's really not that kind of person."

"It's related to a mass disappearance case, that's all I can say," the young man in black said.

"Person missing!" Daisuke Okubo's eyes widened, and his voice rose unnaturally, but he quickly lowered his voice under the cold gaze of the young man in black.

He knew what Kido was involved in. Not long ago, a large number of missing persons cases occurred almost simultaneously across the country. Most of the missing persons were at home, living alone, and the crimes mostly occurred at night.

Strangely, the doors and windows of the houses of these missing people were intact, and there were not many signs of a struggle in the rooms.

Logically, it should have been done by the person who had the key to the house, but even if a human trafficking gang were to mobilize as a whole, it would be impossible for them to commit so many crimes at the same time.

According to police investigation data, the only thing the missing persons had in common was that their homes contained a large number of mirrors. Apart from that, there were no other clues, not even unfamiliar fingerprints.

Because it was so unusual, the incident even made the news. As the president of ORE News Agency, how could he not know about it?

"Have you figured out the reason for the large-scale disappearances?" Daisuke Okubo asked in a low voice.

After understanding the reason, he was no longer worried about Shinji Kido's safety. These large-scale population disappearances had nothing to do with him. The only possibility was that Kido was also being targeted, seemingly arrested but actually protected.

As for the possibility that Shinji Kido could commit such a major crime alone, according to his understanding, it was absolutely impossible.

Kido didn't yet understand that he was a person with an almost foolish kindness.

Daisuke Okubo breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the man in front of him with expectant eyes, hoping to get a clue from him.

He's also a journalist, and his sensitivity to big news is top-notch. If he could reveal even a little bit of information about this case, and if the truthfulness of it is guaranteed, it would definitely make the headlines.

"Confidential," the young man in black said coldly.

“I understand.” Daisuke Okubo nodded. Since it was classified, there was no need to dig it up.

The moment the information about the Mirror World leaked from Jiang Xia's hands, the secret of the missing people was already revealed: the root cause was the monsters of the Mirror World.

The number of monsters in the Mirror World is in the tens of millions. Although most of them are not strong, they can easily deal with ordinary people.

The monsters in the Mirror World feed on humans and their own kind, obtaining something called life energy.

The knights' power comes from the monsters in the Mirror World. Their contracts are based on an equal exchange: the contracted beasts grant the knights their power, and the knights are responsible for feeding the monsters they have contracted with.

After the knight eliminates the creatures of the Mirror World, the contracted beast will devour the remaining power to fill its belly. However, if the knight does not hunt monsters for a long time, the contracted beast will turn around and eat the knight.

Monsters from the mirror world that have no contracts will hunt humans through the mirror.

They were involved in all of these unusual missing persons cases.

Shinji Kido is one of the people involved, so this arrest warrant is absolutely legal and compliant.

"President, I'm back." Shinji Kido greeted him as he entered, but he quickly sensed that something was off. Why were there so many strangers here, and why were they all staring intently at him?

"You're Shinji Kido?" The young man in black carefully checked the man's appearance and, after confirming there were no mistakes, winked at the burly man guarding the door behind him.

"It's me. Is there anything I can help you with?" Shinji Kido looked bewildered, his eyes clear and innocent.

"We are police officers, and we need your cooperation in the investigation."

"I……"

At the young man's signal, the two burly men guarding the door took out pre-prepared black cloth bags from their pockets and covered Shinji Kido's head from behind.

Shinji Kido lost his sight and was plunged into complete darkness before being carried away from the place.

Besides Shinji Kido, everyone else in Eka's memory who had ever been a transformation case, including Hideichi Kitaoka from the law firm and Kaiyu Tezuka, a fortune teller, was subjected to the "door open for inspection" treatment.

When they brought it over, there were no mirrors reflecting anything around it; it was all wrapped up tightly before being delivered.

As for Jiang Xia, he rode in a black sedan with the people who had been invited to the research institute of Qingming University, which was the place with the equipment to shut down the Mirror World.

Chapter 544 Meeting

Kamen Rider Knight leaps high into the air, his bat-like form swooping down from the sky. The spear in his hand traces a cold arc in mid-air before piercing straight into the back of the giant spider coiling on the ground.

The azure figure flashed in the spider's compound eyes. It raised its head high, revealing its sharp, interlocking teeth.

Suddenly, a bundle of snow-white spider silk emerged from its mouth, spreading out in the blink of an eye to form a spider web above.

This is its hunting method. No matter how powerful the enemy is, once it is bound by the spider web, the stickiness on it will render the prey unable to move and make it its meal.

Even bats with wings on their backs can be hunted by spiders. Although bats can fly, when they swoop down and crash into the spider web, the spider always wins in the end.

Although Kamen Rider Knight is a rider who obtained the appearance of a bat through a contract with a bat, he is not a real bat and does not have wings.

"The final moment has arrived!"

Suddenly, the Night Rider's belt made a sound, a sharp whistling sound rose from the sky, and a winged shadow suddenly covered the Night Rider's back as it fell.

In an instant, two jet-black bone wings unfurled on the back of the Night Rider; upon closer inspection, they were clearly bat wings.

The bat's head was now pressed against his back, connected together.

The Night Rider, now adorned with wings, began to spin violently in mid-air. As he spun, the wings transformed into a jet-black cloak that spiraled around his body.

It falls in a spiral, forming a nail that looks as if it is spinning and falling from the sky.

"drink!!!"

The snow-white spider web was torn apart in an instant by the falling black spiral, and the wings that transformed into a cape deflected all the spider web.

The spider web's restraints did not harm him at all; it was as if he were invincible in this state.

The spiraling, nail-like base landed on the spider's back, piercing its carapace and penetrating its entire body.

Countless cracks spread rapidly across the spider's body, making a sound like ice shattering.

The spider let out a shrill scream, its eight legs plunging into the ground in an attempt to withstand the attack, but in the blink of an eye, cracks spread from its back to its abdomen.

Cracks also appeared on the eight spider legs, and glimmers of firelight could be seen inside the cracks.

The cloak covering the Night Rider's body gradually came loose, and he used the spider's abdomen to leap up again, landing on the ground.

"boom!"

Flames exploded from the spider's body, eventually coalescing into a massive mushroom cloud. The powerful impact caused the black cloak on the Night Rider's back to rustle and crackle in the flames.

The black cloak transformed into wings once more, and a blue bat flew up from behind the Night Rider, rushing towards the location of the explosion with an excited cry.

A rainbow-colored orb slowly emerged in the firelight, and the impatient blue bat swallowed it whole.

"That's enough for today, you should be full by now," Night Rider said softly, watching the bats in the sky.

The blue bat cried out and flapped its wings, disappearing into the sky.

Night Rider also put away his spear and summoned a spaceship-like piloting machine in front of the mirror.

He opened the hatch in front of him, sat in the driver's seat which resembled a motorcycle, pressed the accelerator, aimed at the mirrored surface of the building in front of him, and drove straight in.

It's quite strange, but when an object big enough for a person to lie down hits the mirror, there's no shattering of glass; instead, it melts right into the mirror.

Like a drop of water falling into a smooth, mirror-like surface, only causing ripples.

That's for sure. This is the Mirror World, and the Night Rider we just saw was a knight who made a pact with the monsters of the Mirror World.
