Chapter 339: The Same World
Kawahara's vision returned, and in front of him stood a young man wearing a sleeveless windbreaker and a long-sleeved undershirt.
"Philip?"
"Yo~"
Philip raised his hand and waved at him.
Kawahara then looked around and found that this Earth Library was different from the ones he had seen before. The Earth Library where Philip was before should not be like this.
How come there is a background?
After all, wasn’t everything white before?
Kawahara also asked directly: "Why did this place become like this?"
Philip spread out his palm, and a translucent black Gaia memory floated on it. He raised it and said, "When I activated this in the Earth Library, it became like this."
The letter on the black Gaia memory is A.
Kawahara's memory returned immediately.
"this……!"
The power that was taken away by the earth at that time!
He took a step forward and wanted to take Gaia's memory, but his fingers just brushed across the memory, as if brushing through the air and had no effect.
Philip said at this time: "Ah, this thing seems to be virtual, and I just started it again..."
As he said this, he dispersed the illusion on his palm and spun his fingers forward, clearly signaling to the person opposite him.
Kawahara reacted and looked down at himself.
No wonder the Earth did not assimilate his consciousness after it arrived at the Earth Library this time. It turned out that it was transformed from the original "Arcle Gaia Memory".
"How did you find me?" Kawahara asked.
"Ah, I was originally looking at the information about 'Senbei Soup' here, but your Gaia memory kept beeping, and I got annoyed by your noise, so I had to take it out and take a look." Philip rubbed his chin with his fingers.
"..."What do you mean he's noisy?
Kawahara was speechless for a moment.
He didn't even hand over the Gaia memory voluntarily!
Kawahara has put an end to any piracy, and no one can own his Kamen Rider peripherals!
Some of them have been taken back by him!
But in the final analysis, it was because he used Earth W for experiments that someone took the opportunity to read the information and copy a portion of the power.
Thinking of this, Kawahara suddenly had an idea.
"By the way, Philip, do you know about the existence of Kamen Rider Fourze?"
"Kamen Rider Fourze?"
Philip tilted his head curiously, then his eyes lit up, and green virtual characters flashed before his eyes, while the bookshelves around him moved swishily.
This is a manifestation of him reading the information.
Then the next second, Philip nodded earnestly: "Okay, now I know!"
Kawahara: "..."
He choked for a moment and suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Have you just finished reading it all?"
"Yes."
Philip knew what he was wondering about and explained: "After the Earth Library became what it is now, as long as I give a keyword and want to obtain information, the knowledge of the Earth will be directly engraved into my brain."
He raised his fingertips and gently touched his forehead.
Then he added: "But this may cause me mental burden and risk losing myself, so Shotaro forbids me to obtain information in this way."
Although Philip was able to use his consciousness to read the information in the "Earth Library" before, he was not able to know everything in an instant like this.
And the Earth Library seemed to have evolved, as if it had given him an additional option to pass the level with one click.
Philip laughed and said, "However, it is still a bit boring to get all the information at once~"
In daily life, Philip still likes to read books of interest slowly by himself.
This process of slowly unveiling the mystery of something, like an adventure to gradually understand an unknown thing, fascinated Philip with the hidden excitement and tension in the mind.
I see Kawahara again now.
Philip looked around him with interest. "I want to know what happened after you jumped into the Earth Well that day? Although your Gaia memory appeared in the Earth Library, there is still no information about you here."
Kawahara looked helpless: "If you can't get the answer from Earth, it's useless to ask me. Philip, what happened between you and the Sonosaki family?"
Hearing what was mentioned later, the smile on Philip's face faded a little, he rubbed his lower lip with his fingertips and looked away.
“Three years ago, the museum was destroyed.”
"Ah? Three years ago?!"
Kawahara was stunned for a moment.
When he left, he restored the missing data of "Sonosaki Raito". If Philip chose to read the book, he should have understood the meaning of his own existence.
More importantly, the Sonosaki family's fighting power was almost eliminated, and the strength of the museum organization was greatly reduced.
It is hard to say how long that organization can last.
Philip said in a low voice: "After Sonosaki Ryubei disappeared, Sister Saeko took away the "Nasca" memory and took over the Sonosaki family's property, but because of the betrayal of "Weather", the museum organization eventually collapsed from within."
Kamen Rider W just took advantage of a loophole outside.
After the weather memory was destroyed, the huge underground force of Wind City [Museum], which was mainly based on the Sonosaki family's industry, was completely declared collapsed.
Although the museum organization no longer exists, there are still many "Gaia Memories" circulating in the Fuuto.
In addition, there is another key person...
Philip looked at Kawahara with a strange look: "Wakana...sister has been looking for revenge on you since then."
Kawahara raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this: "Then you should tell her that I have been dead for a long time."
This is the most frustrating thing...
Although Sonozaki Wakana is not usually involved in the museum's business, she is the most loyal person to the Sonozaki family, especially since she has personally experienced what it means to have a huge family change overnight!
Philip didn't dare tell her his identity.
Sonosaki Wakana did not turn evil on the spot. After being taken in by the Narumi Office for a while, one day she quietly left and returned to the Sonosaki residence.
When she appeared again, Sonosaki Wakana came for Philip, intending to use the power of the "Earth Library" to evolve into an Earth priestess.
The brother and sister eventually ended up on opposite sides.
"She probably went to the Well of the Earth."
Kawahara said: "If someone with a weak will comes into contact with the Well of the Earth, it is easy for the overexpansion of information to corrode their spirit, just like if the Gaia Memory is used frequently, the toxins in the memory will cause the power of the mixed body to get out of control."
Kawahara paused here, turned his eyes, and couldn't help but look over there with some curiosity.
"Well? What did you do with her afterwards?"
"I handed it over to the police."
“……”What a simple and crude ending.
However, this time Philip was not assimilated by the Earth's data because he fell into the Earth Well again.
However, due to the inexplicable changes in the "Earth Library" used by Kawahara, Philip also clearly felt that if he immersed himself too much in the information inside, his self-will would be eroded sooner or later.
This is also the reason why Shotaro Zuo strongly forbade him to read the data with one click.
The result is that...
It's just that Philip was reading very slowly, and Shotaro outside didn't even have time to transform into Kamen Rider W and fight.
Kawahara: "...Is he still alive now?"
Philip said as if it was a matter of course: "There is also the Lost Drive. It's just a small matter. It's no problem for Joker to handle it himself!"
Because the image of Kamen Rider W as two-in-one is so deeply rooted in people's minds, Kawahara actually forgot that a "Gaia Memory" can also be transformed using a single belt.
Now comes the second question...
"Who is Shotaro fighting?"
Kawahara vaguely felt that some answers seemed to be revealed.
Philip stroked his chin and thought for a while: "It seems to be someone from Consortium X. Since the collapse of the museum organization, most of the Gaia memories circulating outside have been recovered by them, and recently they seem to have made new moves..."
Kawahara's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"That's it! I told you to remember that Consortium X is your W's enemy! - But why is there no sense of existence at all?"
"So you care about this issue for no reason..." Philip looked at him.
"Don't mind, it's just a little tangle."
"Consortium X was just the organization behind the investment in the Sonosaki family to develop the "Gaia Memory". In exchange, they were able to obtain the data of the memory. It seems that they were studying the power of "immortality"? When the museum disappeared, we thought they had already withdrawn from Fuuto, but we didn't expect them to suddenly appear again during this period."
Philip paced slowly and said, "Shotaro has been investigating this matter recently, and he seems to have found some clues just now."
Kawahara listened and his eyes moved: "Before that, I have a question, are you Kamen Rider W and Kamen Rider Fourze in the same world?"
After Decade appeared in this world, Philip already knew about the existence of the world outside of it, and in fact, he was already very accepting of the parallel world.
He probably understood why Kawahara asked this question, and an interested smile immediately appeared on his face.
“It’s a question worth exploring.”
Philip turned around and opened his arms. The bookshelves around him moved with a rustling sound, and the air currents created a wind in the space that was like a galaxy in the universe.
After the surrounding bookshelves retreated and disappeared one by one, there was only one bookshelf and several scattered books left in front of the two.
Kawahara took the initiative to pick up the top book and looked at the cover.
——《World》.
Philip flipped through the book next to him and said, "It is indeed in the same world of time and space. However, Fuuto is an unknown small city after all. It is normal that no one has heard of it. Only Shotaro would treat Fuuto as the whole world."
Then Kawahara took the book from his hand and handed his own book to him.
"Then take a look at this again."
"If this is the case..."
After Philip read the quantum text, his eyes suddenly lit up and a hideous smile appeared on his face, like a scientist who had suddenly become perverted.
He held the book tightly and read it excitedly, while his other hand habitually rubbed his lower lip and began to mutter to himself.
“I see, that’s incredible!
"The same world in different time and space, the wind is in this world, Amanokawa High School is also in this world, we are all together!
"Because Kamen Riders are the gateway connecting these worlds!"
Philip turned his head suddenly and approached Kawahara excitedly: "The world is really interesting!"
Kawahara was frightened by him and quickly took a few steps back. He stretched out a hand to hold down Philip's head as he tried to share, and pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly.
"You should calm down a little..."
But Philip, who had entered a state of intellectual rampage, couldn't calm down at all. After all, he was a willful person who even ignored Shotaro Sa's request to transform.
Since Kawahara did not give him any emotional value in return for his desire to share, he simply ignored this person in the Earth Library and began to concentrate on flipping through the other books on the bookshelf.
Kawahara, who was watching him getting better and better, said: "..."
"Philip?"
"..."
"Wait…Philip?"
"..."
"Philip, let's talk about the serious matter of Consortium X first, okay? There is also Consortium X causing chaos in Amanokawa Academy now. I suspect they have the same goal as the people operating in Fuuto... Philip?"
"..."
Philip was completely oblivious to the scene, muttering to himself as he watched.
After being silent for a while, Kawahara suddenly snatched the book from his hand, then spread it in half and pretended to tear it apart!
"...?!"
Philip, whose hands were suddenly empty, looked at him with wide eyes, but the next second, Philip turned around and picked up another book on the bookshelf and opened it to continue reading.
Kawahara, who was posing, said: "..."
He paused, then snapped his fingers, but no sparks came out of his fingertips.
So what is the use of the data in his "Arcle" Gaia memory?
Just to upgrade the Earth Library?
and many more……
If the Earth borrowed his power...
Kawahara's mind moved, and a powerful will spread out forcefully. In an instant, a violent airflow was set off around him, and countless bookshelves moved horizontally from the void in all directions.
But at the same time, several chains of binary codes flew out from the virtual earth below this universe and came towards him.
The Earth is clearly prepared!
Philip also suddenly came to his senses at this moment, and the data chains that were directed to Kawahara dispersed and descended back to Earth.
"I see. No wonder your Gaia memory cannot be produced in reality and can only be used in the library." Philip said, stroking his chin.
If it were created in reality, the Earth would be unable to stop Kawahara from freely controlling the "Earth Library".
But as long as he does not leave the database of the "Earth Well", the Earth can lock "Arcle's" data at any time and limit his power.
It's like putting a seal on him.
Kawahara's face darkened: "This is eating and taking at the same time!"
Philip smiled and said, "It must be because your power is too terrible that the Earth does this. -By the way, what information are you looking for?"
Kawahara looked at him expressionlessly: "Pull the progress bar in your brain back to five minutes ago and see what I said to you."
"emmm..."
