Chapter 388: Wu Daoguihu's Melancholy
Takatora Wudao took the Genesis Driver and left, saying that the man might have other reasons for doing so, so he wanted to go and ask for an explanation in person.
Kawahara did not stop him and expressed his respect and blessing.
He just wore the Zhan Ji Driver and repeatedly cut and played with fruits with interest.
"Lock On!"
"Lock On!"
"Lock On!"
When Sagara came over, he heard a series of strong and vigorous singing of the names, which were even played to a rhythm.
He smiled and walked forward and said, "Do you really think that Wudao Guihu can be the final winner? He doesn't look like he is ready now."
As for DJ Sagara’s identity, only Takatora Wudao knows it in the World Tree Group, and the latter has not told anyone else about it.
Kawahara said slowly and in a very positive mood: "It doesn't matter. Since he has something he wants to do, it's okay to let him try it first. I have always been very open-minded in this regard."
At this point he paused.
Then he turned his gaze towards Sagara with a smile.
"And... is the Gaim you chose already prepared for this?"
"..."
Sagara raised his eyebrows slightly, but he was not surprised that Kawahara saw his true thoughts. After a pause, he chuckled again.
"I am not qualified to select anyone. I am just a civilized observer."
He sat down on the sofa opposite and said, "However, I think Kuzuya Kota has the greatest chance of winning the Golden Fruit in the end, so I do like him."
Kawahara responded noncommittally: "Because of the Daughter of Origin?"
Sagara smiled in a bewitching way: "You have also seen the Daughter of Origin. Her appearance means that the future of this world is set. Even if a parallel universe is created, the restorative nature of time will not make the final result too different."
"I will send Mai Takashi out of Sawame City tomorrow." Kawahara said calmly.
"..."
"And the restorative power of time, I also want to witness its effect." Kawahara smiled at him again.
"In this case, I also hope that your intervention can bring more exciting performances to this 'Golden Fruit Battle' that seems to have no more surprises! I am looking forward to another possible future~"
Sagara spread his hands with a helpless look on his face, and then his figure gradually became transparent and disappeared on the sofa.
Kawahara calmly glanced at the place where he left, then threw the dragon fruit lock seed in his hand, the lock opened, and a zipper opened out of thin air on the ceiling of the office.
"Henshin~"
He looked at the scenery outside the window and said lightly.
"Dragon——Lock On!"
"Soiya!" 』
"Dragon Arms!"
He completed the formal transformation again. The Western-style fiery red armor exuded a strong sense of majesty. Kawahara rushed directly towards the floor-to-ceiling glass window.
wow——
The glass reflecting the figure rippled with a circle of transparent waves, and the dragon fruit armor passed through the glass directly and appeared outside the World Tree Tower. Then he flew straight to a certain location that had been determined.
In the live broadcast studio of the World Tree Tower.
DJ Sagara, who noticed the movement, glanced sideways and said, "Bad Apple... So, how bad are you going to make the future?"
……
……
At the same time, on the other side.
Takatora Wudao found the partner that Kawahara hinted at - Ryoma Sengoku.
Whether it is the Sengoku Driver or this time's Genesis Driver, Sengoku Ryoma, a genius researcher, is the main developer. He is also Takatora Wudao's most trusted friend.
Ever since the crisis of the world being eroded occurred, they have been working hand in hand to get to this point today.
They should have the same ideals.
How could it be possible...
"Lingma——!"
Wu Daoguihu rushed over almost anxiously.
"Oh~ Guihu, you're here."
Hearing the voice, Zhan Ji Lingma turned around to look.
He and Sid were watching the news in the leisure area of the World Tree Tower, and the picture playing on the computer screen at the moment was the news that a large number of unknown infected people had appeared in Sawame City.
Wu Daoguihu was about to say something, but he stopped abruptly when he saw Xi De sitting next to him, and his face looked a little tense.
Zhan Ji Ling Ma looked at him strangely: "What's wrong with you, Gui Hu?"
As he said this, he saw the Genesis Driver in Takatora Wudao's hand. After a quick glance, he asked with concern, "Could it be that the Genesis Driver caused you any sequelae?"
"No...No..."
Hearing this, Takatora Wudao came to his senses and placed the Genesis Driver in his hand on the table in front of Sengoku Lingma.
He hesitated calmly and said, "The Genesis Drive was developed perfectly this time, but Lingma, did you... forget to tell me something?"
Zhan Ji Ling Ma was a little confused when he heard this: "Did you forget what I told you?"
The research and development data for the Genesis Drive is very well documented, so is there anything that has not been explained?
--not at all.
But looking at Wudao Guihu's tense expression, Zhan Ji Lingma racked his brains to think about what he would care about, and then he suddenly realized.
"I see, Takatora, you're worried about mass production, right?"
Ever since the development of the Sengoku driver, Takatora Wudao has been urging the start of mass production.
However, Zhan Ji Lingma believed that it would take some time to collect data in order to develop a more powerful and perfect driver, which led to the current Genesis driver.
Now that the new belt is out, Takatora Wudao will probably rearrange this project again, right?
However, Zhan Ji Ling Ma chuckled and said, "But it's too early. The current research cannot fundamentally solve the problem. If we start mass production of Genesis, the matter of Helheim Forest will inevitably be exposed to the public, which will cause great panic~"
"..."
Wu Dao Gui Hu looked at him hesitantly, wanting to say something.
——But the most important thing at this stage is no longer mass production of Genesis drive.
If the "Golden Fruit" could really change everything, Takatora Wudao would naturally no longer plan to mass-produce something like the "Driver" that could easily trigger a war.
Previously, this had to be done so that the survivors would be able to protect themselves when facing the forest and aliens, but now that there is a better solution, there is no need to implement that desperate plan.
But now...
Wu Daoguitora's expression suddenly became very complicated. He looked at the close friend in front of him with whom he had expressed hopes and ideals, and wanted to ask him several times whether he had really done something secretly.
But in the end, I couldn't say anything.
Before he decided to look for Sengoku Ryoma, the words Kawahara had said echoed in his mind. ——"Everyone changes."
——"You can do whatever you want, but in the face of the great temptation of the golden fruit, anyone who can no longer maintain trust is an opponent."
——"I believe you are not a person who acts on impulse."
If the person who was secretly doing this was West Germany, Takatora Wudao would probably have directly exposed his doubts, or even directly "Locked On"!
But this is his close friend Zhan Ji Ling Ma.
First, his younger brother, Wu Dao Guang was involved in the fight for the golden fruit, and now Zhan Ji Ling Ma seems to have ulterior motives. The people close to him seem to have undergone earth-shaking changes in an instant.
Wu Daoguihu stood quietly with his eyes wandering, his tightly pursed lips looking a little pale, and his indescribable complex expression seemed like he was carrying a heavy burden.
Even though Zhan Ji Lingma didn't take it too seriously, he noticed that there was something wrong with Wu Dao Guihu's condition.
"Gui Hu, are you really okay?"
Zhan Ji Lingma stood up and patted his shoulder tentatively.
Wu Dao Gui Hu seemed to come back to his senses again, opened his mouth and looked at him: "Ling Ma, I found out..."
Zhan Ji Lingma stared at him with sharp eyes.
The look in the other person's eyes was very complicated.
"Mitsumasa is also an armored knight."
"..."
Wu Daoguihu lowered his eyes and said in a daze: "The perfect Genesis Drive has been developed, and those armored knights used for experiments outside are no longer needed. I'm going to clean them all up."
After saying this, Takatora Wudao did not wait for a response from the other side. At this moment, it was as if he had released all his strength. He picked up the Genesis Driver on the table again and turned to leave, but his steps seemed a little heavy.
“Takatora…?”
Zhan Ji Lingma looked at his back in a daze.
There was an unspeakable depression and silence in the air until Takatora Wudao disappeared from sight. Then Sid, who was sitting in the booth on the other side, finally spoke up.
"It's this matter again! Last time this guy came to me in a rage, suspecting that I sold the Sengoku driver to Wudao Mitsumi without authorization. It was obvious that he left the matter to me without asking any questions. Wudao Takatora is becoming more and more arbitrary in doing things!" Sid sneered.
"……is that so?"
Zhan Ji Lingma responded in an ambiguous tone, narrowing his eyes slightly and staring at the corner that was already empty.
At this moment, DJ Sagara's holographic projection suddenly walked out from behind the wall, and the two's attention was immediately attracted again.
"Although your research has come to an end, if you don't handle it properly, those little devils won't just stay quiet. With the Sengoku drivers you released in their hands, they might cause even bigger trouble!" Sagara smiled at them.
“DJ Sagara…”
Zhan Ji Ling Ma paused after hearing this and said, "However, since Gui Hu has already decided to deal with this matter personally, there is no need to worry about anything, because Zhan Ji will definitely not be able to defeat Genesis!"
Zhan Ji Lingma said the last sentence with absolute confidence, and then he didn't know what he was thinking about, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Sagara looked at him, and as he saw that this man had no chance of competing for the golden fruit, he spread his hands and returned to the live broadcast room.
I came here just to take care of that guy.
……
……
Takatora Wudao left almost as if he was escaping.
He stopped after turning the corner, looked back in the direction of the leisure area, and then looked down at the Genesis Driver in his hand.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, and his shoulders also dropped heavily. Then, with his usual calm expression, he put one hand into his trousers and walked towards the outside of the World Tree Tower with his back straight.
There is still no accurate conclusion as to whether the Genesis Drive was tampered with by Zhan Ji Lingma, and what the other party's purpose was in doing so.
But the fact that Wu Daoguang became an armored knight is true! And it is also something he must solve now!
Takatora Wudao recalled what had happened before.
Some time ago, the kids from the street dance group took it upon themselves to organize a competition to enter the forest to search for "lock seeds".
Afterwards, in order to prevent these ignorant people from causing more trouble in the forest, Wudao Guitora transformed into Zangetsu and also entered the forest, ready to capture those guys one by one.
And at that time...
Long Xuan from the [Gaiwu] Street Dance Troupe paid special attention to him and even had been observing him secretly.
At that time, Guihu Wudao felt a little strange, but unfortunately he failed to catch the other party on the spot, and later he gradually forgot about the matter.
Now that I think about it, Mitsumi Wudao had probably guessed the identity of "Zangetsu" at that time, which is why he did that.
As for how he was discovered by his brother...
Forget it, it's not important.
After walking out of the World Tree Tower, Takatora Wudao got into a private car and took out his cell phone to notify Mitsushi Wudao to go home so that the two brothers could have a good talk face to face.
Although Takatora Wudao was unable to face Ryoma Zhangoku, Mitsuru Wudao was his younger brother, and disciplining his younger brother was a natural thing for him.
However, the call was not answered.
Wu Daoguihu sighed, and his already depressed mood became even more agitated. He could only rub his brows and edit a text message to send.
"What is Guangshi doing recently?" he suddenly asked.
"Ah? The young master has been the same as always during this period. He should be in the cram school now, right?" replied the driver.
"Um……"
Wu Daoguihu was just asking casually and didn't say anything after listening. However, his phone that had sent the text message received a news push at this time.
Seeing the title "Armored Knight" on the push, he subconsciously swiped his finger to open it.
A battle between armored knights broke out again on the streets of Sawame City.
This piece of news was a video. Wu Daoguihu clicked it and watched it with a frown. He saw three armored knights fighting each other in the shaking camera.
Grapes, oranges, and then... dragon fruit.
Wudao Guihu: “???”
Wu Daoguihu's eyes suddenly widened and he immediately paused the video, his shocked gaze fixed on the red knight holding the compound bow.
Had he just seen this knight?
After making sure that he was not mistaken, Wudao Guihu subconsciously looked back at the World Tree Tower far away from him.
That person left the World Tree Tower?
Takatora Wudao was very sure that the other person was Kawahara.
Because pitaya locking seeds are rare locks.
He had just found it himself in the Helheim Forest today, and had just handed it over to that person today, and then that person had gone to beat up his brother today.
While he was in a daze, the finger that was resting on the phone accidentally touched the screen again.
The paused video continued to play, and the Pitaya Armor nimbly dodged all attacks from the two people. The "Sonic Arrow" weapon in his hand shot one small fruit at a time, completely suppressing Gaim and Longxuan and forcing them to retreat step by step!
Takatora Wudao closed his eyes again and took a deep breath.
His tone was filled with helplessness and exhaustion.
"Don't go home yet, go to the central square."
