Kamen Rider: Evolution

This place looks like an ordinary office, with a large desk with unorganized medical records on it. There's also a large bookcase on the side of the office, filled with files organized in folders, and a water dispenser nearby.

It looks like a perfectly normal room; this is the doctor's office. However, there isn't a separate isolation ward next to a doctor's office, and it's the kind where you can look down through glass in the wall.

"Who are you? How did you get in?"

A tall, handsome young doctor in a white coat was looking anxiously at the patient in the isolation room through the glass in the wall, but when he saw Jiang Xia walk into the office, he immediately shouted in panic.

“Yes, who are you? This isn’t a place a normal doctor would know about.” A girl with short pink hair was also very puzzled by Dai Jiangxia’s arrival.

The girl wore a white sheer silk top that revealed her arms and some of her shoulders, over which she wore a yellow top with various patterns. Her lower body was covered by a pink and yellow skirt with a pixelated pattern.

With pink hair and bright yellow gloves, they look like game characters who have stepped out of a game. People like this are generally called cosplayers, or role-players.

“Jing Feicai, son of the director of the affiliated hospital of Shengdu University, a genius surgeon who can cut anything,” Jiang Xia said to the handsome male doctor.

"Fake Asuna, or Poppy, is actually a life form born from a game through a game disease, which you now call the Collapse Entity." Jiang Xia revealed her true identity to the girl with short pink hair.

“You…!” Jing Feicai stared in astonishment at Jiang Xia in front of her, not even noticing that he was already standing beside her, observing the situation in the isolation room.

"Are you a doctor sent by the Department of Health?" Poppy asked, resting her index finger on her smooth, rounded chin.

If a real person did this, it would probably look a bit awkward, but Poppy doing this classic thinking pose that is so common among female characters in many games not only doesn't look awkward, but is also very cute. She really looks like a character who stepped out of a game.

"Probably. Instead of worrying about my identity, we should deal with the game god virus on that girl down there first. If this continues, she'll disappear." Jiang Xia stood by the glass, looking towards the isolation ward.

The isolation ward was very spacious, surrounded by white walls, and in the center of the space was an enormous instrument, making it look like an examination room equipped with top-of-the-line medical equipment.

Lying on the white metal bed connected to the equipment is a girl who looks only fifteen or sixteen years old and is wearing a brightly colored coat. She is writhing in pain.

Beside the bed, there was also a doctor wearing a white coat, with short black hair, the front of which was highlighted with white.

At that moment, the doctor was leaning over the bed, looking at the girl in front of him with a panicked expression.

"Ouch!!! That hurts!"

The girl screamed in agony, her body drenched in sweat and trembling uncontrollably. The excruciating pain almost made her lose control of her body. She gripped the yellow blanket covering her body tightly with both hands, her knuckles turning white, which showed just how much pain she was in.

Even worse, as the girl groaned, yellow electric light suddenly flashed across her body, which further intensified her pain, and her body even showed signs of becoming transparent.

This is the cruelty of gaming addiction. The reason for this is the Collapse Virus, which infects people through games and grants them abilities.

The virus will first lie dormant in the body, causing stress and weakening the immune system.

Once it reaches a certain point, symptoms of gaming sickness will appear, and the Honkai Impact virus in the body will quickly materialize and turn into a monster.

If the monster is not eliminated in time at this stage, the patient will suffer more and more until the Honkai Impact Entity grows into its complete form, at which point the host will disappear from the world.

The girl in front of us was not infected with the Collapse Body Virus, but with a more advanced Game God Virus.

The game god virus in the girl lying in the hospital bed has now developed to its final stage. Her body has begun to become illusory. If the source of infection cannot be eliminated, this girl only has a few hours, or even a few minutes, to live.

"Nicole! Hang in there!"

The doctor accompanying her shouted at the girl, but she was too weak to answer him. Her consciousness was fading, and all that remained was her trembling body.

"Nicole!"

Upon hearing the girl's scream, Jing Feicai quickly pressed herself against the mirror and saw that the girl's figure was already somewhat illusory.

"Hey! Since you knew in advance, do you have any way to stabilize Nicole's condition? The pediatrician has already gone to eliminate the source, so we just need to buy some time." Jing Feicai said anxiously to Jiang Xia beside her.

Although he was very impolite, this is what a doctor should do; life is above all else.

“Of course.” Jiang Xia pushed open the door and entered the isolation room.

Chapter 559 Reset

Jiang Xia pushed open the closed room door and walked down the stairs to the isolation room.

Before the white-haired doctor who was accompanying Nicole could react, Jiang Xia had already come to the bedside and held the girl's hand, which was already slightly illusory.

"Who are you?" The doctor was stunned as he looked at Jiang Xia, who had suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Hua Jia Dawo's medical license was revoked due to a medical incident five years ago, and he is now an unlicensed doctor." Jiang Xia sat next to the white bed and calmly stated the information of the white-haired doctor in front of him.

"You don't need to know who I am, I'm just here to save people."

After Jiang Xia finished speaking, he didn't make any move. He simply held the girl's hand, and the girl, who had just been convulsing in pain, calmed down. Her body, which had been tormented by the game virus and was almost gone, stabilized at a visible speed.

The warning display screen above the instrument, which had been flashing bright red, instantly cleared of danger, and the heart rate, heartbeat, and blood pressure all returned to normal at that moment.

Lying on the examination equipment, Nicole relaxed and fell into a deep sleep, her expression serene, her breathing steady, and her hands that had been gripping the blanket slowly loosening.

"It's alright now."

Jiang Xia released Nicole's hand and then looked at his own hand, or more accurately, his right hand that had just touched Nicole.

"No way!" Hua Jia Dawo, who was just surprised, now stared intently at Jiang Xia's palm.

Jiang Xia's right hand was crackling with barely perceptible white arcs of electricity, which were rapidly spreading from his elbow toward his body.

"You actually infected the Game God's virus on your own initiative?" Hua Jia Da Wo's pupils shrank, and he was shocked.

The Game God is the ultimate target in the Kamen Rider Chronicle game. The Game God virus is a variant of the vulnerability virus. Unless the Game God is defeated and Kamen Rider Chronicle is shut down, the virus will not end.

What shocked Hua Jia Da Wo even more was that the guy in front of him had actually infected himself. Was he really not afraid of dying?

And how exactly did he get rid of the Game God virus in Nicole?

"It's not infection, it's absorption." Jiang Xia clenched his fist, and the Game God virus that had been running rampant in his body was directly devoured by the power within him.

This also means that Jiang Xia's body also possesses the characteristics of a "vulnerable body," not only giving him the qualification to transform into a Kamen Rider, but also allowing him to transform into data and freely travel through the network, and even giving him the possibility of conquering the game god.

“Absorb? You’re saying you’ve completely absorbed the virus?” Hua Jia Da Wo suddenly stood up.

"Well, although the Game God Virus is called a virus, it is actually just a kind of energy or data. It is only because of the special ability of the vulnerability that it can transform into a physical entity and absorb data. Is it hard to understand?" Jiang Xia stood up and put his hands in the pockets of his white coat.

Jing Feicai, who was under observation outside the isolation room, also heard Jiang Xia's words and walked into the isolation room with a surprised expression.

He first looked very carefully at the data displayed on the medical equipment, then looked at Nicole who was already sleeping soundly, before speaking to Jiang Xia:

"It's not hard to understand, but being able to understand and being able to do it are two completely different things. After you were infected, were you really okay?"

"It's alright, the game virus is nothing special." Jiang Xia waved his hand.

"It's incredible that the Game God virus in Nicole's body was actually eliminated."

Poppy, a nurse at CR, was seeing a doctor for the first time who could perform a surgical procedure without transforming into a Kamen Rider.

This shocked her even more than learning that Emu Hojo was the first person in the world to be infected with the Vulnerability Virus.

Just as several people were looking at Jiang Xia, green time fluctuations suddenly came from afar.

Although the Game God Virus is a variant of the Collapse Source Virus, it is far more virulent, and Jiang Xia seems to be completely unaffected, which naturally arouses their curiosity.

After noticing the time fluctuation, Jiang Xia looked up at the ceiling of the isolation room. His gaze passed through the walls and steel bars, arriving at a square with a huge green clock.

"It's finally started," Jiang Xia thought to himself.

Below the green clock, a middle-aged man in a light gray, high-end custom-made suit is lying on the ground, clutching a malfunctioning drive tightly in his hand. His suit is tattered, as if he has rolled around on the ground countless times, and there are several wounds on his face, from which blood is flowing.

Even in his disheveled state, he struggled to get up from the ground.

Two Kamen Riders stood opposite the man. One of them was entirely golden, with a shimmering braid hanging down from the back of his head and star-like horns on his forehead.

The horn at the top of its head points high like a sharp blade, and there are many star-shaped patterns on its chest and shoulders. The horns extending upwards are as sharp as swords.

The other one has large areas of crimson and sea blue covering its body, with the two colors interwoven on its skin, and a spiral blade on its head.

Both riders have very distinctive features and are very easy to identify. The rider with a golden body and many star patterns on his body is the final form of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, an invincible player with unparalleled abilities in the gaming world.

The other is the invincible player's sidekick, level 99, who is Kamen Rider Para-DX, transformed by the fusion of two Gacha tapes.

The identities of the three people are also very clear. The middle-aged man in a bright gray suit is Dan Lidou's father, Dan Masamune.

His opponents are Emu Hojo, who has transformed into an invincible player, and Parad, the Hollow entity born from Emu Hojo's body.

"You have failed. The Kamen Rider Chronicles cartridge is destroyed. The game is over." Emu Hojo said to Masamune Dan, who stood up but was covered in wounds.

He only wanted to save Nicole, not kill her.

"How is that possible! If it weren't for the lack of the invincible cartridge, my plan would be perfect!"

Looking at the shattered cassette tape, Dan Masamune gritted his teeth and said each word as if he were biting on a steel knife, "If only this card didn't exist!"

If he weren't an invincible player, he could have recycled all the player drivers and game cartridges, keeping Dream Company at the top forever!

May the Kamen Rider Chronicles live on forever!

"If only I didn't have this card, if only I didn't have this card, if only I didn't have this card!"

Dan Masamune stared intently at the gold cartridge inserted into the Player Driver on Hojo Emu's waist, repeating it three times in a row, his voice growing louder with each repetition, his eyes growing increasingly frantic.

Until the very last time, he roared with all his might, screaming at the top of his lungs.

The roar startled both Hojo Emu and Parad. Dan Masamune's eyes were filled with venom, and the blood streaming down his face couldn't hide his fierce, scythe-like expression. He was enraged.

He rarely felt so angry; as the de facto controller of the prestigious Dream Company, he had the reins of the game.

Whether it was getting infected with a vulnerability virus, being kicked out of the company by his own son, or ending up in jail, all of these were part of his plan.

Once he's released from prison, his son's godlike talent will surely have completed the Kamen Rider Chronicle. At that time, he can directly take back the Phantom Company and effortlessly wipe out these Riders, completing the final Kamen Rider Chronicle.

But now everything is ruined, everything is ruined!

"I will never let you go, I will never!" Tan Zhengzong roared.

As Tan Masamune roared, his eyes flashed with two dazzling beams of light, one yellow and one green, amidst his overwhelming rage.

A powerful force erupted from every cell and every gene in his body, and the broken gene chains were rapidly reconnecting with this force, transforming into two beams of light that drilled into the malfunctioning driver in his hand along his arm.

The Honkai Impact virus changes depending on the patient's emotions, and Dan Masamune's anger caused the pathogen virus in his body to multiply and split rapidly, unleashing power beyond its limits without the card.

Creating one's own cartridge using the Hollowvirus was never a skill exclusive to Emu Hojo; Masamune Dan could also do it. The virus within him multiplied at the same rate as in Emu Hojo, because they were both the world's first patients infected with the Hollowvirus.

As Dan Masamune shouted in frustration, the giant clock behind him suddenly began to rotate counterclockwise under this force, and it started to spin faster and faster.

"Reset!"

The space suddenly trembled.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" The old clock suddenly struck loudly.

Time first paused, then quickly rewound.

A turquoise time fluctuation erupted from Tan Zhengzong's body in a ring shape, affecting everyone within the game realm.
