People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

In the bathroom filled with rising mist, warm water streamed down from the shower head, pouring onto Chen Huijie's snow-white body. Under the hazy light and shadow caused by the mist, her delicate and smooth skin exuded a luster like warm jade.

With a raised wrist, she scooped up a handful of water and poured it on her head. Chen Huijie felt the warmth seeping into her scalp and breathed a sigh of satisfaction.

Masked Rider.

Her eyes moved to look at the driver and dragon driving watch head placed in the bath basket beside her. Chen Huijie felt her heartbeat quicken and a burning sensation in her heart.

Having participated in several battles to encircle and suppress aliens before, Chen Huijie, Xingxiong and even the entire Guard Bureau said that they had almost no other role to play except evacuating the people.

A battle of that level is absolutely not something that ordinary people or normal people can participate in. Let alone the aliens, even the monster that looked like a highly advanced Safra this afternoon, a normal Guards officer would probably not be able to withstand a punch from the other party. That is a strange power that even Xingxiong could not withstand.

Even if Xingxiong and I joined forces, we could only barely fight a few moves with the monster, or even cause no harm to the opponent. Moreover, even if Xingxiong and I could try our best to cause a little damage to the opponent, considering the speed at which the opponent's broken bones regenerated, it would probably return to normal in the blink of an eye.

The crisis that this land is about to face, or the danger that Lungmen is facing now, is no longer something that the ordinary Guards can withstand. Only a more powerful force, or the power of Kamen Rider, can protect Lungmen in the torrent of the new era.

This is the truth that Chen Huijie understood after the Banshee disaster.

Even though Rhodes Island had experience in fighting against aliens, and could temporarily subdue the alien banshees with the help of special props based on their understanding of the banshees, they still had to rely on the power of the knights to completely eliminate the opponent, not to mention the Guards, who were completely helpless against the opponent.

But now it's good, I also have the power to transform into a Kamen Rider, although...

This power seemed almost like a gift to her.

But at least now Longmen has his own power to fight against the aliens. Although he cannot destroy the opponent without the corresponding control head, he is not completely powerless to fight back.

She can still continue to protect Longmen.

I scooped up the clear warm water and watched it flow through the gaps between my palms. The warm touch crawled over my skin inch by inch. Under the dim light, my arms were slender and as crystal clear as jade.

But...how long can she protect Longmen?

Reaching behind him, he touched the Originium crystals that had become somewhat warmer even under the hot water.

ha~

Chen Huijie, who was rarely feeling depressed, turned off the shower and picked up the towel next to her to wipe her body clean.

Picking up her pajamas from the bath basket next to her and putting them on, Chen Huijie simply cleaned up the mess in the bathroom, then returned to the living room with the driver and the control dial.

The TV in the living room was playing today's news. Chen Huijie had this habit. It was always too quiet when she was alone at home, so she was used to turning off the TV when she was doing things. This little noise could not distract her attention, but it could calm her restless heart a little.

I guess there will be no peace in the future.

Looking at the majestic dragon head on the driving watch, Chen Huijie felt complicated for a moment.

But this is exactly what I want.

He put the driver and control dial aside, picked up the hair dryer to dry his wet hair, and took out the potion from the pocket of his uniform hanging on the hanger nearby.

The "Third Generation Originium Blocker" is Rhodes Island's latest product for oripathy. It is said to be very effective in inhibiting the progression of oripathy and stabilizing the condition of infected people. Currently, due to production constraints, it is only supplied to Rhodes Island internally. Later, as the industrial line is upgraded and production increases, it will gradually be opened to external sales.

And this one was given to her by Xingxiong.

That guy, after lowering his head, asked Fang Zhou for one by using his participation in the crusade against Dukare as an excuse. He gave it to her when they separated at noon today, saying that it could help improve his condition.

Getting better is a luxury for patients with mineralogy.

Fortunately, due to his regular work and rest and eating habits, Chen Huijie's mineral sickness has never worsened. He is basically the same as when he was infected. It was just that he felt uncomfortable due to the Originium resonance caused by the opponent's last move when he was fighting against the Flame Demon more than a month ago, and was thus exposed in front of Xingxiong.

But to be honest, Chen Huijie herself had no idea of ​​the extent of her illness. After all, with her status, even if she went for a physical examination at a black clinic in the slums, Wei Yanwu would use his intelligence network from nowhere to dig up her information and put it on his desk.

Even going abroad carries this risk, so in order to conceal his illness, Chen Huijie has never had a physical examination and can only rely on his own feelings to feel the recent development of his condition.

In order to keep it a secret, she seldom took the anti-blocking drugs needed by patients with oripathy. To be honest, Chen Huijie felt quite good that she could hold on until now under such circumstances. But from this point, Chen Huijie also understood that oripathy was not an extremely dangerous disease. Its main difficulty lies in the current human dependence on Originium for energy and the high possibility that patients will become a source of severe infection when they die...that's all.

However, the prejudice against mineralogy has been spreading on this land for thousands of years. How can the mountain of prejudice in people's hearts be overturned by just a few words or examples?

The heavy thoughts in his mind made Chen Huijie feel a little stuffy in his chest. He took a long breath as if to spit out those heavy thoughts. Chen Huijie picked up the medicine and looked at it carefully. This medicine itself has a corresponding injection configuration, which allows the person who gets the medicine to inject it directly, and the injection method used is needle-free injection, which is a very safe method. There is also a matching injection instruction manual. Even people without corresponding medical knowledge can complete the corresponding operations of needle-free injection independently through the instructions.

This also made Chen Huijie feel relieved. After all, in terms of medicine, she had only learned some simple first aid methods and simple medical means such as bandaging. It would be difficult for her to perform complex dynamic processes such as needle-free injection on her own without corresponding explanations.

Following the instructions step by step, Chen Huijie injected the medicine into his body. The cool feeling was nothing unusual, but soon a sense of comfort from the inside out made Chen Huijie widen his eyes slightly.

This medicine came so quickly?

The rapid effectiveness of the treatment made Chen Huijie somewhat puzzled.

"Is this medicine...really safe? Although Rhodes Island probably won't..."

People are always suspicious.

If a drug takes effect too slowly, people will doubt whether it is effective. If a drug takes effect too quickly, people will also doubt whether there is something fishy about it. Even Chen Huijie will find it difficult to break out of this vicious circle for the time being.

"Rhode Island's medicine should be fine. Perhaps it's really the effect of the new generation of technology."

After convincing herself in this way, Chen Huijie breathed a sigh of relief, watched TV for a while, warmed up a cup of hot milk and drank it. Then, Chen Huijie took the driver and the driving meter and lay down on the bed. She placed them next to the pillow, and slowly fell asleep while watching the driver and the driving meter.

I hope there won't be any trouble tomorrow. Oh, and I still need to go to Rhodes Island to ask the Doctor about that Big Zafra first...

Before he could finish thinking about the problem, Chen Huijie's thoughts were completely cut off during his sleep.

After she fell into a deep sleep, the medicine that had just been injected into her body was slowly healing her body that had been initially eroded by the mineral sickness.

"So, Doctor, you really don't know about this?"

Looking at Chen Huijie who was looking at him sternly and almost interrogatingly, Fang Zhou gave the same answer as before.

"Officer Chen, not to mention how outrageous it is that you just took a bottle of black powder that looks no different from the coal ash in the boiler and put it in front of me, not allowing me to send it for inspection, and then asked me if I knew what it was.

This is still Rhode Island Hall, right? If you really have something to ask me, I think we can go to the office to solve it, instead of here, in front of everyone, with your voice that can shatter the glass in my hand, asking me if I know a ball of dust?"

The next day, Chen Huijie stood with Fang Ark in a corridor of the lowest infrastructure of Rhodes Island, holding a small bottle of black powder in his hand, and asked him if he recognized this thing.

But in fact, just as Fang Zhou said, Chen Huijie's voice was indeed quite loud. Even in this corridor filled with the unique roar of industrial assembly lines in production workshops, Chen Huijie's voice was still a bit deafening to Fang Zhou, and it also attracted the attention of other Xiumajia who were moving goods in this corridor.

"Hello, this is a corridor near the energy center of Rhodes Island's lower-level infrastructure. It's not usually open to the public. Did you two get lost and end up here? Do you need any navigation assistance? Ah, it's Master Ark. Since you're Master Ark, you don't need navigation assistance... So, ma'am, do you need any navigation assistance?"

Xumajia, who was carrying goods, temporarily put down the box in his hand and walked in front of the two of them. He looked at Chen Huijie and Fang Zhou in confusion and asked if they needed help.

"Oh, no, no, sorry to trouble you."

Faced with the sudden concern, Chen Huijie immediately waved his hand to indicate that he did not need navigation help. After all, he had one of the highest leaders of Rhodes Island next to him, so it was easy for him to find a way out of here.

"Okay, I wish you a pleasant visit to Rhode Island."

As he spoke, the Xiumagia once again picked up the box on the ground and continued to move towards his destination.

"That Xumagia doesn't seem very smart?"

Realizing that he had indeed lost his composure, Chen Huijie put away the bottle of black ash and straightened his clothes.

"...Actually, no. He simply didn't notice me at first, so he just laughed it off and wanted to put the matter behind him, and then asked you again later. It's just like those officers from your Imperial Guard who used the excuse of getting water for lunch to slack off in the tea room, walked into the tea room with a full cup of water, and the moment they entered, they saw you there too."

"That's a very vivid metaphor, but are they really that intelligent?"

"That's natural."

Fang Zhou was quite proud, then he took out a portal from his four-dimensional pocket, opened it under Chen Huijie's eyes which also looked like he was already used to it, and walked into his office opposite.

"Come on, Officer Chen, thank you for coming here to ask me in person. I'm quite curious about what exactly this matter is. Come to my office and tell me."

Chen Huijie glanced at the interior of the office opposite. She had been to Rhodes Island many times, but she had never been to Ark's office even once.

"So how does it feel to be Kamen Rider?"

Fang Zhou gestured for Chen Huijie to sit on the sofa. After coming in, Chen Huijie had already told him the whole story of why she came here, and also listed all the reasons why she suspected Fang Zhou.

However, after listening to Chen Huijie's question, Fang Zhou did not answer it, but asked a question in return.

"Please don't answer questions with questions, Doctor. I'm now suspecting you of being involved in a case of intentional injury."

In fact, Chen Huijie also knew that it was useless for her to ask, because there was no evidence at all. That small bottle of black ash could not prove anything, even with the photos.

But she still came. Besides asking some questions that had little chance of getting answers, she also had a feeling that she couldn't quite explain, like... a desire to show off?

It’s just like a child showing off in front of his parents after getting good grades in the hope of getting praise.

"That's not important, Officer Chen. Aren't some of the answers in our hearts? Instead of doubting me, it would be more reasonable for you to doubt that pink-haired Sarkaz who's still lurking in the shadows. What's most important to me is... how did you feel yesterday after you transformed into a knight and defeated the monsters to protect the people?"

Chen Huijie's computer froze for a moment, and he then recalled the cheers and applause from the people around him after he defeated the lizard monster yesterday. Although he and the Guards Bureau would occasionally receive cheers and applause from the public when they solved major cases in the past, there were actually more complaints about his radical law enforcement. Scenes like this one filled with cheers seemed... rare.

"Nice feeling."

"Really? That's good."

Seeing the smile that Chen Huijie couldn't hide on her face, Fang Zhou nodded.

"I'm relieved that you can truly find identity and enjoyment in this identity, rather than just passionately saying you want to become a Kamen Rider out of a sense of responsibility to protect Longmen during this time of change."

Fang Zhou's words made Chen Huijie's eyes drift, as if she really became a Kamen Rider with this idea in mind at the beginning, but her idea had changed a little after just the first battle. Mainly because she had a good sleep and when she got up this morning to face the rising sun, she felt a little emotional when she looked at the control dial and driver in her hand, and her opinion of becoming a Kamen Rider slowly changed.

To be honest, his dream used to be to become a knight-errant, but he gave up due to various practical reasons and eventually became a policeman. Although he was also about upholding justice, it was still missing something for Chen Huijie, who had loved the plots of martial arts novels since childhood.

It was not until he became Kamen Rider that Chen Huijie seemed to have regained some of the feelings he had when reading martial arts novels before.

"Doctor, you're right. We all have answers to some things. Instead of doubting you, I'd rather doubt Theresa, who has disappeared again."

Chen Huijie stood up and was about to leave, and Fang Zhou did not stop her, but just called her before she left.

"Ok?"

I turned around in confusion, but what came towards me was the flying driver's head.

"This is... eh? There's no pattern. This is... a bike, a motorcycle?"

"How can a Kamen Rider not have his own mount? Take it, don't think too much, Amiya and Tallulah both have one, and since you've become a Kamen Rider too, I won't show favoritism."

Fang Zhou said this and his eyes suddenly became complicated when he looked at Chen Huijie.

Come to think of it, when the king's personnel were decided, Chen Huijie seemed to be among them.

Should I say it or not, is this fate? Although he didn't become the successor of Oma Zi-O, he also became a Kamen Rider of Zi-O's clan.

Wait a minute, then he remembered that there were four candidates at the beginning, and now three of them have become Kamen Riders, so the remaining one...

"Ah!"

Vina, who was training on the training ground, suddenly sneezed and almost spit out the lollipop in her mouth.

"Vina, are you okay?"

Hannah, who was standing next to her, glanced at Vina who was blowing her nose and handed her a tissue.

"Oh, it's nothing, just a sneeze."

Taking the tissue and wiping her nose, Vina felt that the temperature around her was a little strange.

It's strange. It's not cold here, so why am I sneezing?

Could it be... someone is talking about me?

Chapter 255: Deep in the Palace

Shadows were gathering in the wasteland near Longmen. Precious, wearing the appearance of Theresa, took a look at Longmen in the distance.

"It's a bit regrettable, but for now, we have to say goodbye to you, Amiya and... Doctor."

A white shadow in his mind was a little restless, but Priseth suppressed it with a smile.

"Really? I accidentally let you out last time and didn't deal with you. I was already very tolerant and generous. But don't push your luck."

Precious felt a little embarrassed when he recalled that he lost consciousness after being punched by Fang Zhou.

The other party also has the power to compete with the world. Precious has known this for a long time. The other party also used that power to block her connection with the world of Terra, causing her strength to drop drastically. But now it is much better. That punch knocked her off the line, but it also broke a corner of the Bagua seal. With this broken corner, she has regained contact with Terra.

With the three original Originiums, Precious transformed herself into the Sea of ​​Solaris on the Terra continent, and then dragged more creatures into the Sea of ​​Solaris, while allowing the Originium to spread more widely across the land until it enveloped the entire planet, connecting every living being, and even allowing life to be connected to the Originium at its very birth, so that she could truly become... "Terra".

Her consciousness fell silent, and seven alien driving watches appeared beside her.

Goliath, Balrog, Banshee, Wendigo, Blood Fiend, Snow Fiend, and Shadow Fiend.

"It's still a little short. The Alien Ghost Control Head and Alien Sakota Control Head should have been transformed into normal control heads by the little rabbit. Tsk, then Amiya has eight control heads. We still need to find a way to get the Alien Ghost and Alien Sakota."

In a flash, the original seven alien driving watch heads instantly increased to seventeen!

"Making different types of driving heads is simple, but making them work for me requires another process. It's really inconvenient. External forces are just pretentious."

Precious complained in a naive tone.

"The Doctor, too. He actually brought such a troublesome thing from outside the world, and he's so determined to support that little rabbit becoming king. Obviously, I can do it too. When I become king, I'll make him a prince. Well, no, feudalism is not acceptable... Never mind. I like feudalism."

A rare moment of girlish sentiment appeared, and a little pink bubble seemed to appear around the always rational Precious, and then a gaze fell upon her.

Tsk.

"A peeping rabbit is not very popular."

As Precious said this, ten of the seventeen alien control dials turned into energy and dissipated, while the remaining seven merged into her body.
