Chapter 292 Death

Chapter 292 Death
Kamen Rider W——Known as the Kamen Rider in Two.

He is a Kamen Rider transformed by two people using two different "Gaia Memories", and his transformed body is controlled by half of each person's will.

And Shotaro Sae is the transformer of Kamen Rider W, representing the left half of the body.

As for the other half...

That's what Kawahara is plotting now.

Shotaro Zuo's eyes now looked at him differently: "This should be the first time we meet, right?"

"Yes, it's the first time." Kawahara nodded.

"We didn't say much just now, did we?"

"Only three or four sentences."

"Then how did you know about the Ming Hai Office? If you knew it from the flyer, you should also know the address. If you heard it from someone else, how did you recognize me?" Shotaro Zuo asked, staring at him.

Although Shotaro Sa seems a little nervous, he is still half a detective after all.

A detective who likes to complete his commissions based on his intuition.

Now Shotaro Zuo's intuition told him that if he brought this guy back to Ming Hai Office so easily, something he didn't want to see might happen.

Kawahara couldn't help but smile: "Because our agency received a commission from Kamen Rider Skull, I came to see you."

"Masked Rider...Skull?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Shotaro Zuo suddenly realized something and stepped forward eagerly to grab Kawahara's arm.

"You know Skull? Have you seen him? Where?!" Shotaro Zuo asked repeatedly.

There are many factors that prevent Shotaro Sa from thinking calmly, and the whereabouts of his mentor Shokichi Narumi is one of them.

Although he knew rationally that it was impossible for Shokichi Narumi to survive under such circumstances, he emotionally believed that anything was possible since he had not seen the body.

What's more, there have been rumors of the dead coming back to life recently...

However, Kawahara shook his head: "I haven't met Kamen Rider Skull, but we did receive his request. Perhaps he has anticipated the impact of [Resurrection of the Dead], so he asked us for help."

Kawahara gradually became more confident when he said this.

In this incident, the figure of Shokichi Narumi did appear, but that was not the real Shokichi Narumi, but a "hybrid" disguised as a person transformed using the "Gaia Memory".

As for whether the real Ming Hai Shouji is still alive...this is really a mystery from beginning to end.

But the parallel world's Shokichi Narumi does exist.

So whether the Skull who handed in the commission to Kazuto Kazuya is from this world or another parallel world is probably going to be a mystery just like the whereabouts of this soul figure.

Kawahara didn't really bother about this issue.

After hearing what he said, Zuo Xiangtaro calmed down again, let go of his arm dejectedly and lowered his head.

Kawahara was about to mention Ming Hai Office again, but at this moment, a young girl suddenly ran over from not far away.

"Not good! Not good!"

She shouted as she ran to Shotaro Sae, her face showing a very anxious expression, but when she got closer, she suddenly looked at Kawahara next to her with curiosity.

Shotaro had to remind him, "What's wrong, Akiko?"

Akiko Narumi - the nominal director of Narumi Office and the daughter of Shokichi Narumi.

She slowly withdrew her gaze from the curious Kawahara, and then shouted exaggeratedly: "Ms. Ansami just called and wanted to cancel the commission!"

Shotaro Zuo paused slightly.

Although the commission will not be returned after the client voluntarily cancels the commission, Ming Hai Akiko cannot accept this.

Moreover, the mental state that Mutsuki Asami had shown before was obviously not very good. Finding her "dead sister" should be a very important thing for the client.

But at this moment, the commission was suddenly cancelled...

The more Ming Hai Ya Shuzi thought about it, the more unhappy she became.

"No! How can you just cancel the commission so easily? Miss Ansami must have some difficulties!"

Adhering to the principle of being responsible for unfinished commissions to the end, after she finished speaking to Shotaro Sa, she turned around and ran to find the client.

"and many more--"

After reacting, Zuo Xiangtaro subconsciously reached out and pulled her back.

“Leave me alone!!”

With her arm held, Akiko Narumi was still moving forward, while Shotaro Sae turned to look at Kawahara next to him and picked up the stack of photos with his other hand.

"Mutsuki Ansami is one of our important clients. The person in this photo is her sister. She said she saw her sister five days ago."

Shotaro Zuo said: "Since you just said that you know some information about this girl, do you know what is going on now?"

Seeing him asking a stranger, Ming Hai Yashuzi, who had been curious about the other party's identity from the beginning, stopped fluttering, turned around and put her head closer as if eavesdropping.

Kawahara looked at them and smiled: "Don't worry, because this matter will definitely find you."

Shotaro Sa: “…Huh?”

When Shotaro Sae uttered this syllable, it meant that his brain's thinking ability completely stopped.

When he reacted and tilted his head with a frown to continue thinking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure walking on the overpass not far away.

The figure tilted his head slightly and looked over. He was exactly the same as the person in the photo!
She is Mutsuki Asami's sister!

Shotaro Zuo subconsciously looked at Kawahara in shock again - this guy just said that the other party took the initiative to come to him - is this what he meant?
Kawahara didn't expect the instigator to be so cooperative.

He just thought that since Mutsuki Asami had commissioned the detective, the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to disrupt the detective's investigation in order to prevent the matter from being exposed.

So the other party will come to you actively.

What's more, Kamen Rider Skull also gave a similar commission to Kadoya Kadoya, probably because he guessed what the mastermind behind the scenes would do using his identity.

All this makes it inevitable that they will intersect.

"That, that, that... that's... a ghost!"

Ming Hai Yashuzi, who looked over with them, widened her eyes.

The woman on the bridge seemed to have an unreal and eerie temperament. After looking at them, she looked away and walked away in a distant manner. It really looked like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

Shotaro Zuo raised his hand to hold down his hat and immediately ran after him. After a moment of hesitation, Akiko Narumi also hurriedly followed.

However, after running onto the viaduct at the port, the woman completely disappeared after turning a corner, and the surrounding sky and buildings instantly turned into dark laser colors.

There were bursts of low and hoarse laughter all around.

In the sky ahead, there was a skeleton man wearing a linen cloak and holding a sickle.

He looked like the Grim Reaper from a picture book.

In fact, this is how the skeleton man introduced himself next.

"I am the God of Death!"

Its malicious voice spread: "It is the ruler of the underworld, the only supreme savior who can bury the sorrow of those who have lost their loved ones!"

If it were in the worldview of ordinary people, such a god of death might be able to achieve the purpose of deceiving people.

But in the eyes of Kamen Rider.

Everything weird has a trace!
Shotaro Sae looked at the appearing Grim Reaper with confidence: "Sure enough, it was the work of the impure being!"

If the instigator is a dopant, then the problem can be solved by simply defeating the other party!
He raised his hand and took out a Gaia memory.

"Let's go, Philip!"

The red "Dual Driver" was already worn on his waist, and Shotaro then activated the memory button - Joker!

Kamen Rider W requires two people to transform together.

But the other person doesn't have to show up.

Because the opponent's consciousness can be transmitted through another memory, after Shotaro Zuo was ready, a digitized green memory appeared on the right side of the dual drive.

He inserted the Gaia memory named "Joker" into the left side, and then pressed two more memories into the drive.

"Cyclone!"

"Joker!"

A howling gale arose out of nowhere, and fragment-like particles covered Shotaro's body, gradually turning him into a two-colored monster with black on the left and green on the right. Then a long white shawl fluttered out from the back of the neck of the green half of his body.

——Kamen Rider W!

When Kawahara walked up the stairs, he saw Kamen Rider W extending a hand towards the Grim Reaper.

"Sa~ count your sins!"

"..." Kawahara paused slightly and had to admit one thing—the new generation of Kamen Riders were particularly good at creating momentum.

The howling gale generated by the Cyclone Gaia memory directly blew down the Grim Reaper in the sky. He landed at the other end of the aisle and was obviously a little surprised by the identity of this detective.

"It's actually Kamen Rider..."

While saying these words in an ambiguous tone, the Grim Reaper in a sackcloak took the initiative to rush forward and attack!

Kamen Rider W quickly bent down and moved sideways to avoid the swinging scythe, and when the Grim Reaper continued to attack, he blocked it with his wrist arm armor.

When Akiko Narumi, who was behind them, saw them fighting, she quickly turned around and hid to the side, and bumped into Kawahara carelessly.

"Oh oh——!"

After Ming Hai Ya Shuzi staggered to her feet, she looked at him: "You you you...you are the one...right, who are you?"

Kawahara: "..."

After hearing the first half of her words, Kawahara almost thought that Narumi Akiko had also seen him like Hongdu in the parallel world, but obviously, this was just because the girl's brain had not yet reacted.

Seeing that he wanted to move over there, Ming Hai Ya Shuzi quickly pulled him back: "Wait! It's very dangerous over there, let's wait until they finish fighting!"

Kawahara, who was stopped, paused and pointed over there: "I just want to help..."

"No, no, no, we don't need to mess around!"

Ming Hai Yashuzi made a big cross with her hands.

Regardless of whether Kamen Rider W can defeat her or not, Akiko Narumi is always very optimistic.

However, the Grim Reaper wearing a linen cloak seemed to have no means of attack. After raising his arm again to block the sickle, Kamen Rider W's other left hand quickly replaced a Gaia memory!

"Trigger!"

"Cyclone! Trigger!"

The aqua blue figure instantly replaced the black on the left. Kamen Rider W swung his hand to swing away the Grim Reaper's scythe, and when he turned his body, his right hand had already raised a gun-like weapon.

There are two different types of "Gaia Memory" used by Kamen Rider W.

The memory type used on the left side of the driver is "body memory", which determines W's physical abilities and weapons, while the "soul memory" used on the right side of the driver determines W's attributes and special abilities.

The "Metal" memory also has a weapon, but it is obviously inconvenient to use the long stick weapon of this memory in the narrow corridor at this moment.

Therefore, Philip, who is equivalent to W's brain, judged the situation and analyzed the most suitable fighting method at the moment.

Shotaro Sae was mainly responsible for the battle, while Philip assisted him in analyzing the battle situation.

This is——the Kamen Rider in one!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A green energy bomb burst out of the chamber, and the Grim Reaper, who was so close at hand, was inevitably repelled, and finally disappeared quickly at the end of the aisle like a puff of smoke.

"Where have you gone?"

Shotaro Zuo carefully observed his surroundings, but at this moment, his other side noticed something.

"Shotaro, that's..."

The right compound eye of Kamen Rider W flashed red, and Philip's voice came from it, instructing Shotaro to turn his head and look at the platform across the aisle.

In a hazy mist.

A man wearing a white suit and trousers and a white wide-brimmed hat with a torn corner walked out slowly.

That is——Murami Shokichi!
Ming Hai Shouji who should have been dead!
“…Uncle!”

Almost at the moment he saw this person, Shotaro Zuo's mind was in turmoil. Philip, who was one with him at the moment, immediately spoke to comfort him: "Calm down! Shotaro, you know that's impossible!"

"Yes... Impossible..."

Shotaro Sa knew in his mind that after being shot and falling to the ground and then enduring the violent explosion, there was no way that Shokichi Narumi could survive.

The enemy is a dopant, so this should just be a trick used by the enemy!
Ming Hai Yashuzi, who was originally hiding at the back, also ran forward subconsciously at this time, looking at the white figure walking to the opposite side with surprise and expectation.

"Yes... Dad?"

Akiko Narumi has always known that her father worked in Fuuto, but after she returned to Fuuto, she never saw her father again.

But her father had always been mysterious, so she didn't worry too much about this issue.

But the longing exists in the heart.

Shotaro Zuo looked at Akiko Narumi. Whether it was guilt or regret that made him afraid to tell her the truth, he didn't know how to explain that this person was fake.

because……

The Grim Reaper plays dead people.

However, while he was hesitating, the grim-faced Ming Hai Shouji had already raised his hand and took out a Gaia memory.

"Skull!"

A single "Lost Drive" emerged from his waist. After Ming Hai Shouji inserted it into Gaia's memory, he slowly took off the white wide-brimmed hat he was wearing, allowing his human appearance to transform into a black monster with a white scarf, and his head was in the shape of a skull.

——Kamen Rider Skull!

After completing the transformation, Skull slowly and elegantly put on a white wide-brimmed hat, like a guardian knight from the Middle Ages. His posture was cold yet gentlemanly.

When Zuo Xiangtaro saw this scene, he was completely distracted!
If the dead person reappears, it is just a trick.

So what about Kamen Rider Skull?
Skull's Gaia memory should have disappeared along with Narumi Shokichi!

Before Shotaro Zuo could react, Skull on the opposite side suddenly jumped up and jumped into the aisle, pressed Kamen Rider W against the wall and punched him, then turned around and kicked him out!
"Wait...Uncle...!"

Shotaro Zuo had completely lost the means of resistance. He held the trigger of the Magnum rifle in his hand but did not dare to attack.

"Stop! We shouldn't be fighting!"

"Uncle——"

Shotaro Sa tries to awaken Shokichi Narumi's sanity.

But Skull, who had kicked him away, immediately took out the Skull Magnum Gun and hit him hard with real bullets. Kamen Rider W, who could only passively take the beating, was knocked away again.

Shotaro is unable to fight, but Philip's mind is far more powerful than his.

Kamen Rider W's right hand replaced the "Cyclone" memory with the yellow "Luna" memory without hesitation.

"Luna x Trigger" is the standard form of Kamen Rider W, and its ability is to fire automatic pursuit bullets.

But when Philip forced his body to attack Skull, Shotaro Zuo quickly held down his right hand, and the two men, who were one body, fell to the ground and struggled.

"Stop it! Philip, no!"

"Calm down, that can't be the real Ming Hai Shouji!" Philip couldn't help but say loudly.

Shotaro was in a state of confusion, and Philip, who was naturally rational and calm, became a little anxious under his influence.

"He turned into Skull, it's true!"

At this point, Shotaro Zuo has begun to believe in the god of death.

Skull's memory cannot be faked, and the same goes for the aura of Ming Hai Shouji.

——As long as the body is not found, there is still a chance.

This hope was swirling in his mind.

Compared to being dead, Shotaro Sa would rather believe that the other person is still alive.

"How can it be……"

Not far away, the bewildered voice of Akiko Narumi could still be heard: "Dad is also a Kamen Rider, why? I've never heard of him..."

Shotaro Sa had a vague feeling about something.

He was afraid that Philip would tell the truth in front of Ming Hai Ya Shuzi.

But at this moment, a figure walked out from behind Ming Hai Yashuzi.

The golden-green crossbow in his hand emitted light, and then in the whistling wind, it rushed towards the opposite side like lightning!

"boom!"

The golden crossbow exploded on Skull who was loading his special move. The sparks that shot out instantly startled W who was lying on the ground, and also blew Skull away who was caught off guard and fell heavily on the steps below.

Kawahara looked down at the monster below and said, "This is probably why Skull sent out the commission.

“Pretending to be someone’s significant other to hurt them.

"It's disgusting."
