Started from the creation of Kamen Rider

This was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise. After all, Su Su had seriously considered whether to dig a basement himself - compared to the target on the ground, the underground was obviously more reassuring.

However, Su Su later gave up this idea due to his own abilities. After all, digging a basement by himself is not an easy task even for a supernatural being...not to mention that there is a high probability that he will be buried alive.

Fortunately, there are ready-made ones now.

The entrance to this underground storage warehouse was located under a pile of miscellaneous items in the abandoned warehouse on the ground floor. It was originally blocked by discarded wood piled together. After Su Su moved the wood away, he bought two large blowers and put them in the underground warehouse. After two days and one night, he finally blew away the musty and decayed smell from the underground through the exit. Then Su Su began to try to renovate this underground warehouse.

The first thing is the entrance. The entrance must not be exposed so bluntly, so Su Su first cleaned up the ground part of the abandoned warehouse, collected a large amount of construction waste from the nearby and piled it in the warehouse to hide the entrance. In this way, once outsiders come in, their first impression will definitely be that this is just a simple abandoned warehouse.

Then comes the underground part, which is Su Su's key decoration target. Su Su wants to decorate it into a laboratory that ordinary people may not understand, but at a glance they will feel must be very powerful.

To this end, Su Su referred to a large number of laboratory layouts and structures in film and television works, and purchased many materials in batches from many places under different identities. After confirming that the company seemed to have no plans to resume work, Su Su stayed in the underground warehouse for a whole week and began to arrange the "laboratory" according to his previous reference.

First of all, there are indispensable glass products, transparent glass, laboratory vessels, culture tanks... With the ability of [Shackles], Su Su does not need to purchase these things specifically. As long as there are enough materials, Su Su can make them, but it will be very tiring.

For example, for the culture tank, Su Su couldn't use comprehensive materials to make an item, so he could only make a glass tank body first, then make the upper and lower metal lids, then the catheter, the metal base...

Secondly, there is an adjustable operating table. In order to make this thing, Su Su patiently searched for various materials on the Internet to study, and replicated each part structure one-to-one according to the drawings. This bed alone took Su Su nearly a day to make, and he modified it four times before he finally succeeded.

What else is left? For example, the bookshelf is filled with books with various professional terms that are difficult to understand. In order to prevent knights from accidentally flipping through the books and discovering something, Su Su had to carefully select them, and strive to make sure that all the books have at least some connection with the research on the belt...

In short, in order to avoid mistakes in the details, this pretentious laboratory really took Su Su a lot of effort, so much so that Su Su thought about giving up several times.

I never thought that setting up a laboratory would take so much effort...

But fortunately, no matter what, the laboratory was successfully completed in the end - standing in the center of the laboratory and looking at the surrounding furnishings, the laboratory under the illumination of cold light exuded a strong feeling of awe, which made Su Su couldn't help but feel a strong sense of accomplishment.

Damn it, it finally worked! Next, I just have to wait for the right person!

066. Weirdos

But those who are destined to know are still wondering what the information on the plug-in means.

"This seems to be an ancient text, and it is encrypted in a special way. If we want to decipher it, I'm afraid it will require decryption experts and ancient text experts to study it together..."

In the office of the Director of the Super Power Department, Lord Chosokabe handed the photo rubbing in his hand to Hattori Yukichi, pinched his eyebrows, and sighed with a rather tired look.

Opposite Lord Chosokabe, Hattori Koichi, who was sitting behind his desk, picked up the photo handed to him by his friend with a slightly confused look on his face. He looked at it left and right, and tilted it. After looking at it for a long time, he could only scratch his head in confusion.

"Although I don't understand what this text is, Aqing, you have already translated it. It's clearly just a place name..."

"But this place doesn't exist in Tokyo. I've used the police system to retrieve all places with this name across the country, but the result showed that there is none. In order to prevent me from making a mistake in the rubbing, I specially asked two other knights to verify it and confirm that the information I noticed was correct."

Interrupting his friend's words, Lord Chosokabe sat down on the sofa, then leaned back and closed his eyes while speaking.

"After copying these characters, I thought they should be some kind of ancient characters from the suzerain country, so I went to find a professor of ancient characters in Wanmaidi. He told me that this was a kind of characters from the suzerain country that existed 3,000 years ago, called Qiwen or tortoise shell and animal bone characters."

"Fortunately, the professor knew how to translate this text, so you can see the translated text below the photo - but unfortunately, although these words look like place names, this place does not exist in reality."

"That's why I think this is a form of encryption. Only by decrypting it can I truly understand what the Ares Knight wants to say to me..."

The soft sofa dispelled some of Lord Chosokabe's fatigue and relaxed his frown a little. However, when he thought about having to face an inexplicable encryption method that did not even have any clues, Lord Chosokabe could not help feeling a little worried again.

"Ah... is that so? It seems that the cage can only rely on you, my dear. You know that my strengths are not here... But this Ares Knight is indeed quite strange. He can tell you directly, so why does he have to come up with so many complicated methods?"

Listening to his friend's complaints, Hattori Koichi curled his lips in disgust and threw the photo in his hand back on the table.

Like his friends who are obsessed with detective stories, Hattori Yukichi wants to become an outstanding detective. Although he also likes mystery stories and even formed a detective agency with his friends when he was in school, in fact, Hattori Yukichi is better at investigating and collecting information, and gradually restoring the case through the existing clues.

This is what the police do most often.

For a story like this where there are no clues at all and you are just given a riddle that requires pure brainwork and guessing, Hattori Yukichi has always insisted that this should not be categorized as a detective story. The author who wrote this kind of story is purely showing off his superiority in IQ and does not have the slightest talent for reasoning or investigation!

Riddler, get out of the mystery world!

......

But despite all the criticism, the decryption must continue - after serving as the deputy director of the Super Power Department for a period of time, Hattori Yukichi's strength has not improved, but his interpersonal skills have indeed improved a lot, and his temperament has also become much calmer.

By the way, although he is the deputy minister, Hattori Koichi's office is the minister's office, because the minister of Super Power Unit 1 is the number one in the police force, the former head of the National Police Agency, and he has a better office...

"Oh, by the way, I'll find two cryptography experts to help you later, and try to decipher this as soon as possible."

Also leaning back in his chair, Hattori Koichi shrugged at his friend.

Hearing his friend's words, Lord Chosokabe became a little more spirited. He sat up from the sofa and seemed to be planning to say something else. However, before Lord Chosokabe could open his mouth this time, the phone on Hattori Yukiichi's desk suddenly rang.

He subconsciously stopped what he was about to say and watched Hattori Yukichi's expression quickly change from relaxed to serious after he answered the phone. Lord Chosokabe unconsciously reached out and touched his belt.

Looking at Hattori Yukichi's expression, it seems like something bad has happened...

As expected, after hanging up the phone, before Lord Chosokabe could speak, Hattori Yukichi took the lead and told Lord Chosokabe the content of the call with a serious face.

"Get ready, Aqing. We have a mission. This is probably the first time that the Super Power Department has faced a supernatural event independently since its establishment..."

......

......

A "weirdo" whose identity is unknown and whose face is so distorted that it is unrecognizable, but judging from his body shape, he is probably a human, appeared on the street and launched indiscriminate attacks on passers-by around him, resulting in two deaths and more than ten injuries.

This is the content of the police call that Hattori Yukichi received.

Because the incident took place in a commercial district, the surrounding surveillance cameras clearly recorded the entire process. On the way to the scene, Hattori Yukichi and Chosokabe checked the surveillance video sent in advance in the car, and they immediately discovered that the monster was actually supposed to be a human being.

Judging from the surveillance footage, this is a man wearing a baseball cap and a large mask on his face that almost covers his entire appearance. The man's behavior pattern seemed exactly the same as a normal person at first. He just wandered around the mall as if he was deliberately looking for a target, but he soon selected the target and approached a mother and child who had just approached from the mall entrance.

After noticing the suspicious man, the mother and son obviously wanted to avoid him, but the man chased them relentlessly, grabbed the mother's arm and seemed to say something - then, the young mother became panicked and began to push the suspicious man hard.

The man was pushed and fell to the ground. He seemed a little dazed. He sat on the ground for a long time before standing up. Then he continued to chase the mother and son relentlessly, but then the mother started pushing the man again, and the two seemed to have an argument.

And then......

Then, the man suddenly gave up the fight and hurriedly ran to the street. His upper body began to twist and swell, turning into a strange creature with a human lower half and tumors all over the upper body.

"So... they are humans who have become monsters for some unknown reason?"

067. Five People

"It looks like it, but the degree of this mutation is obviously far inferior to that of the original monster. It seems to be even worse than the first-stage knight. Well, the latest news is that a knight has stepped forward near the mall and is restraining that monster..."

While watching the video and muttering, the phone in Hattori Yukichi's pocket suddenly rang. After taking out the phone to check it, Hattori Yukichi immediately slapped his forehead with a look of frustration.

"Well, we are probably going to end up like this again... I really don't understand, aren't the benefits we offer good enough? Why don't those civilian knights want to join the Metropolitan Police Department..."

There is no doubt that this "weak" monster would definitely be restrained by the knight who stepped forward, and it is even very likely that he would be killed, but it is undeniable that it has caused the deaths of two innocent people and dozens of injuries.

If the number of knights in the Super Power Division could be increased, then at least they could be divided into different regions, with each knight responsible for a region. If problems arise, they can respond quickly and minimize casualties...

"Not everyone is willing to be governed, especially after possessing power far beyond that of ordinary people. And guess, if a wealthy person is willing to hire a knight as security guard, how much more can he offer than the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Glancing at his friend's indignant look, Lord Chosokabe didn't even bother to turn around and explain to Hattori Yukichi. Instead, he continued to watch the surveillance video on the tablet in his hand, as if trying to find some clues.

Then, just when Lord Chosokabe saw the end of the video and was about to play it again, suddenly, his hand reaching for the replay button paused - then, with his brows slightly furrowed, Lord Chosokabe looked towards an inconspicuous corner of the video screen.

After the monster mutated and attacked passers-by, it can be clearly seen in the video that the people around were trying to escape in panic, but Lord Chosokabe discovered that there was a guy in the crowd who did not run away with the crowd at first. Instead, he observed the mutated monster quite calmly.

Moreover, this guy's outfit is also very suspicious, with a baseball cap and a mask, which is similar to the outfit of a mutant monster.

So... is this guy the knight who stepped forward? Or is he someone else?

"Hey, Aqing, have you seen this guy? When we get to the scene, ask the knight if this is him. This guy is quite suspicious and he should not be an ordinary person."

"...Indeed, from a criminal investigation perspective, this guy's behavior is indeed suspicious. I understand."

......

......

The black dog eventually succumbed to the infection and mutated.

He carefully returned to his hiding place - an abandoned factory building. Shiratori Yuei took off his hat and mask, put his five fingers into his hair and grabbed a handful of hair, feeling a little irritated.

Kuroo was one of the five human experimenters who escaped from the laboratory together with Shiratori Yuei. After escaping, the five agreed to visit their families and then return here to reunite. However, Shiratori, who returned early, witnessed Kuroo's mutation with his own eyes.

Although there was no friendship between the five people, and they didn't even know each other before becoming experimental subjects together, they at least supported each other on the way out of the laboratory. More importantly...

If the black dog mutates, how long can I last?

creak-

He sat heavily on a dirty, worn mattress placed in the corner. The sudden weight made the mattress make a teeth-grinding sound. He inserted his fingers into his hair, feeling the greasy hair between his fingers. Shiratori Yourong leaned back on the mattress and couldn't help but sigh heavily.

Shiratori Yuei escaped from the laboratory.

In fact, on the way to the laboratory that day, after accidentally glimpsing the biological warning sign, Shiratori Yuei had a bad suspicion. After they were sent to the laboratory and tied to the operating table, this suspicion was undoubtedly confirmed.

These prisoners were illegally used as materials for human experiments!

But at that time, even if they knew the truth, Shiratori Yuei and his companions had no room for resistance and could only accept the arrangements and cooperate with various experiments. However, Shiratori Yuei never expected that what he participated in was neither a drug experiment nor a disease experiment, but...

Extraordinary experiment!

Those experimenters actually tried to use the flesh and blood of monsters to infect humans, thereby giving humans extraordinary powers!

There is no doubt that this is a crazy idea. In the same batch of criminals as Shiratori Yuei, some were blown into a pile of rotten meat, some were mutated into monsters and killed, and only Shiratori Yuei was lucky enough to survive.

Perhaps stimulated by the "successful case" of Shiratori Yuei, subsequent human trials became extremely frequent. Shiratori Yuei, who was kept alone in a glass room for observation as a "benign variant", sometimes even saw no less than ten groups of people being brought to the laboratory for experiments in one day!

Under such a high frequency of experiments, the number of successful people soon reached five. These five "benign mutants", including Shiratori Yuei, began to have their blood drawn and their flesh cut every day, and in order to prevent them from escaping, they were also injected with large doses of sedatives every day.

But fortunately, these guys who had only conducted experiments on monkeys and rabbits ultimately underestimated the strength of extraordinary humans - after secret communication, the five benign mutants took the opportunity of having blood drawn and taking medicine to break free from their restraints and flee, and eventually escaped from the laboratory!

The various dangers and hardships involved are enough to be made into a movie, and would probably be exciting enough to be written into a story, but unfortunately, even after escaping the laboratory, the five people could only hide like rats and dared not show up at all.

As for the exposure and stuff...

Don't be silly. How could a force that can use prisoners to conduct human experiments on such a large scale, and conduct incredible and extraordinary experiments, really be eliminated just because of being exposed?

Although the escape process was like a movie, reality is not really like the movies, where everything will be fine after being exposed...

Of course, because they entered prison early and knew little about the outside world, the five people didn't know that, in fact, to some extent, "exposure" was quite effective. After all, the police force would not let the cabinet control their extraordinary powers...

But no matter what, the five people still had a very hard life after escaping, and soon after, they discovered that after leaving the laboratory, the power in their bodies began to become extremely unstable - so it was at this time that everyone realized that it turned out that the laboratory would inject themselves with drugs every day to suppress mutations, so that everyone could always remain in a "benign" state.

Now, without the inhibitory drugs in the laboratory, everyone may suffer malignant mutations at any time, and die miserably just like those unlucky people whose experiments failed, or lose their minds and become monsters.

After realizing this, the five people couldn't help but feel a little pessimistic. They didn't expect that after going through so much hardship and finally escaping, death would still be waiting for them - the only difference was that this time they could choose their own ending.

So after discussion, the five of them decided to quietly go back to see their families, and then come back together, using the last chance of their lives to try to destroy the laboratory!

It's death anyway, if it's for revenge, it seems to be justified and noble? But what is unexpected is...

The black dog among the five people didn't even make it back and mutated directly...

creak-

He turned over on the worn mattress, which made another noise, and Shiratori Yuei couldn't help but feel pessimistic about the return of the other three.

What if those three companions don't come back...

068. The Discovered Underground Laboratory

I am Silly Boy.

As a Steam player, Su Qisu made similar comments in the comment section when he was young - and he still makes them now - after all, this is the player feature of the Steam platform.

But in reality, Su Su never thought that he was really a fool.

Until now.

In the company's office, staring at the language conversion results on the computer screen, Su Su felt a breath of depression stuck in his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe. He had to pound the table hard to relieve it a little.

But unfortunately, this is in the company, and the soundproofing in my office is not very good, so I can't pound the table for no reason.

The company resumed work two days ago, so Su Su naturally had to go back to work. After all, if he didn't work, he would have no money. Su Su had to spend money to buy metal products to make belts. Of course, going to work was not a torment for Su Su. As for why Su Su was so depressed...

Because it was not until this moment that Su Su discovered that the words on the plug-in he had given to the bard were engraved incorrectly.

What Su Su carved were oracle bone inscriptions, which were obtained by translating from web pages. However, Su Su obviously did not realize one thing at the time, that is, not all characters can be translated into oracle bone inscriptions - due to the limitation of the number of known oracle bone inscriptions, in fact, quite a lot of characters cannot be translated.

However, the webpage translator that Su Su used was very wrong. When it encountered a word that could not be translated, it would automatically select a word with a similar meaning to replace it - so this led to...

When the oracle bone inscriptions were translated back, the meaning changed miraculously.

So this is the reason why, even though Su Su had worked hard to renovate the underground laboratory, no one has found it by following the clues he left behind.

"I'm so stupid, really, I just knew to make it fancy, but..."

With his mind empty and slumped down on the back of the chair, Su Su took a deep breath and finally decided to find a way to remedy the situation as soon as possible...
