Chapter 297 Earth Library
Kamen Rider W - A two-in-one Kamen Rider transformed by Shotaro Sae and Philip.
Philip's original name was "Kueito Sonosaki". When he was a child, he fell into the "Earth Well" and died. He was accidentally integrated with the Earth and digitized. He can enter a place called "Earth Library" to read all the knowledge that has happened on Earth.
Because the knowledge in his head is too vast, Philip doesn't like to go out of the house. He and Shotaro Sae are like a detective duo, one focuses on the inside and the other focuses on the outside.
However, although Philip possesses the knowledge of the entire earth, he can only access knowledge when he actively searches for it.
If he didn't take the initiative to check, he might not even know what "Octopus Dumplings" are.
now--
Because of the sudden appearance of a power different from "Gaia Memory", Philip took the initiative to search for relevant information about Kamen Rider Decade.
"Kamen Rider Decade!"
Philip said, looking at the book spread out in his hands: "The person who transformed is Kadoya Shi. He claims to be a passing Kamen Rider. He is currently traveling in different worlds. He runs a detective agency called [DCD Agency] in Fuuto and has a detective assistant named Mitsuru Natsumi."
Listening to the information he was reading, Kawahara leaned over and took a look at the book in his hand.
Hmm~it’s a book without words.
Although what Philip said were all the information that Kazutomu Kazuya had just revealed, in addition to these, he also wrote about the existence of Mitsuru Natsumi and the power of Decade on the whiteboard on the wall.
Kawahara looked at the messy information written on the whiteboard again. This kind of free-wheeling way of recording things could probably only be understood by the person who wrote it.
And Philip's voice continued.
"According to the information provided by the Earth Library, you should have traveled to our world through a 'wall of time and space', and the Kamen Riders who have been touched by Decade will eventually be given the power of the 'Knight Card' by him."
"As expected, the power of Kamen Rider W has now been obtained by him!"
Philip said the last sentence with full confidence.
Although the power obtained is theirs.
But he didn't seem to care much.
Kawahara slowly looked around the secret base and Philip, and finally looked at him, curling his lips slightly and asked, "So - what about me?"
Philip's expression paused.
He closed the wordless book in his hand, put his fingers on his chin and looked around Kawahara curiously.
"It's strange. The Earth Library doesn't have any information about you, and I can't find out who the Kamen Rider you transformed into is." Philip said in a low voice.
Although he didn't get what he wanted to know, this unknown made Philip even more excited.
He leaned close to Kawahara with shining eyes and said, "You are a very special existence. Even if you appear on this earth, the earth will not record your existence! According to common sense, this is absolutely impossible!"
Anything that appears on Earth will be recorded in the "Earth Library"!
Because that is the Earth itself.
Just like what people see with their eyes will form "cognition" in their minds, but the current situation is that the earth has become a "blind man" and sees nothing.
As if he was looking at something rare, Philip stretched out his fingers with curiosity and twisted Kawahara's hair, and even tried to poke his face.
Kawahara's eyes flickered when he heard this: "In that case, if I tell you on my own initiative, can you find it?"
"I don't know, but we can give it a try!" Philip was eager to try.
"Then I'll tell you my information, and you'll have to do me a favor later, regardless of whether you can retrieve it or not, and regardless of whether you can help or not." Kawahara continued.
"An equal trade regardless of the outcome? Sure, let's start now!"
Philip opened the book in his hand again.
He couldn't wait to close his eyes and let his consciousness enter the Earth Library. Then Philip's voice seemed to come from the void.
"You can tell me now."
"..."
Looking at Philip who took action without saying a word, Kawahara suddenly felt that the young and naive Philip might be even more of a "tough guy" than Shotaro Sa.
Kawahara thought about the search method of the Earth Library and said, "The first keyword is Yamadam."
"That's amazing! It seems like you understand the Earth Library's search capabilities very well."
Philip's voice followed.
Although he stood there with his eyes closed, he did not open his mouth to speak, because after entering the Earth Library, Philip's body in reality was just an empty shell.
The Earth Library at this time.
This is an infinitely extended space that is white on all sides.
There were countless bookshelves standing around, but after Philip obtained the first keyword, he saw that the number of bookshelves did not change.
"Not one is missing."
Philip looked around with some confusion.
The Earth Library is so large that we need to use "three keywords" to lock down information.
He didn't think Kawahara was giving meaningless keywords, so when Philip saw the unchanged Earth Library, he instinctively felt confused.
Maybe it means that there is absolutely nothing on Earth that the other person is talking about.
"Is it because the world is different?" Philip couldn't help thinking.
Kawahara in the outside world thought about it and said hesitantly: "In this case, let's change the keyword - the power of darkness."
He said the word with some caution.
Philip, who had his eyes closed and remained motionless, remained silent for a while before his slightly depressed voice came again.
"It's still not less."
"..."
Hearing this, Kawahara couldn't tell whether he felt relieved or something, but he still felt a little speechless.
He frowned and asked tentatively: "Then, how about the keyword 'Aguru'?"
""No……""
As Philip's voice fell.
Finally, both of them fell completely silent.
Although they had agreed before they started that there might not be any results, both Kawahara and Philip obviously hoped that there would still be some results.
And this is the key information about him that Kawahara could think of.
If none of these are possible.
what else?
Kawahara paced back and forth on the fiberglass grille platform built at the base for a while, his eyes sweeping over the information that Philip had written on the writing boards around him, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.
Since he cannot be found.
Then search through the information you already have!
Kawahara immediately turned around and said to Philip, "Let's do it again. The first keyword is - Decade!"
"Decade? I just searched with this keyword and got some results."
"It doesn't matter. Just use it as a start. The next keyword is - world."
"World? It's a common word, but this keyword is powerful. A lot of books are missing all of a sudden."
"The third keyword is Kuuga!"
『“Kuga…appears!”』
After saying this, Philip in reality also opened his eyes and looked at the wordless book in his hands with joy.
He read aloud to the blank page: "In Kuuga's world, there exists Kamen Rider Kuuga who uses the Yamadam Stone to transform! Is that your power?"
Kawahara also smiled: "Yes, the black warrior you and Shotaro saw is Kuuga's other power."
Philip quickly flipped the pages with his eyes shining. "That's amazing! Just like W, he can change into different forms and use different powers. Kamen Rider Kuuga is the same. He is a completely new existence. I think I'm already excited!"
As he spoke, he picked up the marker that he had just dropped on the ground, sloppily erased the writing on the whiteboard and began to write the information that interested him.
But Kawahara's expression froze slightly.
He suddenly remembered that Philip had a bad habit - once he became interested in something, he would indulge in it completely without any consideration, and would not stop until he had thoroughly understood the thing.
So when he saw Philip starting to write without paying attention to the people around him, he quickly stepped forward and held down the other person's hand.
"Wait! Before you do your own thing, it's your turn to help me find what I want to know."
"Sorry, let me finish reading this information first, it's really interesting!"
Philip smiled warmly and started writing regardless.
Kawahara also held his hand tightly: "Stop! Once you start writing, there will be no end. You must help me finish searching first!"
Philip anxiously insisted on starting writing: "It won't take long! The book isn't very thick, let me finish reading it first!"
"No! Who knows how long we can stay here!"
"Three hours! Just three hours!"
"It only takes me ten minutes!"
"..."
Even though his wrists were shackled by Kawahara, the young man, who was eager to learn, burst out with unimaginable strength. The marker pen held by Philip trembled as he drew a crooked line on the whiteboard.
Kawahara tried to take the wordless book from his hand, but Philip quickly grabbed the spine of the book with his other hand, staring at it and writing crookedly.
Although what he forced to write was the word "earthworm".
But it doesn’t matter, as long as the person involved can understand it.
So when the three people who were standing outside as punishment finally finished talking and walked in, they saw the two people inside grabbing each other and struggling.
Zuo Xiangtaro was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
