Chapter 397: Feelings That Can't Be Let Go
"Boom!"
A golden symbol flashed on the giant Azure Dragon alien, and the next moment, its body exploded into sparks and dissipated.
The blast lifted up Takashi Mai's ponytails on both sides. She stared at the exploded Azure Dragon Alien in a daze for a while, then suddenly came to her senses and looked at Kawahara in horror.
"What does it mean that humans become aliens?"
The pair of dark red compound eyes looked towards her.
Gao Siwu felt a bone-chilling chill in his heart and subconsciously took a few steps back.
Kawahara suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, that alien just now was not a human, but a weirdo from another world."
"Even if you say so..."
Gao Siwu said with trembling lips: "Is it true that humans will turn into monsters after eating the fruit of Helheim Forest?"
"It's true." Kawahara nodded.
"Doesn't that mean..."
She hesitated and didn't dare to finish the rest of her words.
Kawahara nodded again in understanding: "Yes."
After Helm's underworld eroded the earth, it did not only appear in Sawame City, but there were the most cracks here.
In fact, many people from all over the world have mistakenly entered the forest through cracks, and were tempted to eat the forbidden fruits, becoming a weirdo who has lost his self-will and wandered in the forest.
Gao Siwu widened his eyes in disbelief. The alien that they had summoned as a game now became extremely terrifying.
Ferocious monsters can be frightening, but if those monsters were originally humans...
Even more terrifying!!
"So according to what you mean, the Helheim Forest once appeared in other worlds, so the aliens nowadays are the people from those worlds?" Quwen Jiedou suddenly spoke.
"Will knowing this change anything for you?" Kawahara asked back without commenting.
“Yeah, it won’t change anything.”
Qi Wen Jie Dou was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "This further proves that the strong prey on the weak in this world! If I can't become stronger, I will become a monster, so only by gaining more powerful strength can I pursue everything I want!"
Gao Siwu looked at him in bewilderment: "Why do you think so? If you turned into a monster because you ate those fruits, then we..."
"But you've also seen today's news." Qi Wen Jie Dou interrupted her.
"..."
Gao Siwu suddenly realized something.
The news on TV today was full of reports that many people were infected with a certain virus and plants from the underworld forest of Helheim grew on their bodies. The scene was chilling just to see on the screen.
"No way... such a thing..."
Takashi Mai seemed to have suffered some mental shock, and she retreated backwards in confusion until Kawahara suddenly stood in front of her.
"Okay, I should take you away."
"..."
Hearing this, Takashi Mai looked up subconsciously, and Kawahara hit her on the forehead with a bang.
Gao Siwu: “??? You can’t just…”
Before she could finish her words, she closed her eyes weakly and fell down, but Kawahara raised his hand to hold her up.
He skillfully picked up the person and was about to leave, but at this moment, the Banana Armor suddenly stepped sideways and blocked the way ahead.
Kawahara tilted his head: "Huh?"
Kaito slowly raised his banana spear and said, "Although the people of the Gaimu team have nothing to do with me, I can't just let you take her away this time."
Perhaps seeing his determination, Kawahara then held Koujimai with one hand, and then raised the sonic arrow with his left hand.
The handle of the Zhan Ji driver on his waist automatically cut the locking seed.
"Dragon Fruits!"
Swah——
The shooting trigger of the sonic arrow was slowly pulled back, and began to accumulate red-black energy.
The Qi Wen Jie Dou on the opposite side was surprised at the automatic fruit-cutting belt, and then he quickly raised the handle of the knife and cut off the locking seeds.
"Banana Squash!"
A golden banana phantom appeared on the spear, and Baron was ready for battle. Kawahara saw that he was ready and released the arrow directly.
The next moment, the energy attacks of both sides rushed towards each other together!
"boom--!"
There was almost no suspense. The light arrow that turned into a long red dragon and flew out instantly dispersed the banana phantom, and then hit the banana armor, knocking him out in the burst of light!
Bang!
Qiwen Jiedou fell heavily to the ground, and the banana armor on his body turned into light particles and dissipated as he rolled.
He struggled to prop himself up and look over there, but when he saw the dragon fruit armor opened a crack and entered without even looking at him, he lost all his strength and fainted on the ground.
The building materials factory that had become a battlefield fell silent.
But after a while.
A figure who had been hiding for who knows how long walked out from the corner of the factory. His lips were tightly pursed and his face was tense, his eyes staring straight at Qu Wen Jie Dou who was lying unconscious on the ground.
Then he slowly approached and stretched out his hand. Seeing that Qi Wen Jie Dou didn't react at all, he picked up the "Banana Locking Seed" that fell on the ground and the "War Driver" on the other's waist and hurried away.
After a while, the three workers who had left before sneaked back again.
……
……
World Tree Foundation.
After Kawahara caught Takashi Mai and came back, he found that Wu Daoming, who was left here, seemed to be waking up, so he hit him with a club again.
Not long after, he was sitting on the sofa studying the Heim's Underworld Fruit again, and he hadn't waited for Takatora Wudao to come back after packing up Gaim.
Instead, he waited for Zhan Ji Lingma to break into the office.
The two looked at each other. Kawahara looked at him for a while and then looked away, continuing to peel the fruit in his hand.
Zhan Ji Ling Ma looked at him with an ambiguous expression: "So, you are the helper that Gui Hu invited to deal with the 'Street Dance Knight'?"
"What's the matter?" Kawahara asked casually.
"If that's the case, Takatora is fighting Gaim in the Helheim Forest right now, why don't you go and help?" Sengoku Ryoma stepped forward and said.
"Because he hasn't paid me yet."
"..."
These words choked Zhan Ji Lingma.
Kawahara squeezed the fruit to pieces but still couldn't get the locking seed out. He picked up the towel on the table and wiped his hands, then stood up and came to Zhan Ji Lingma.
He smiled and said, "I heard that you developed both the Battle Drive and the Genesis Drive, right?"
Zhan Ji Ling Ma restrained his facial expression and looked at him: "Yes, these are my talents!"
Kawahara laughed again and said, "I also heard that you think that the "Zhanji Driver" will never be able to defeat Genesis. Is that true?" "Of course!"
Zhan Ji Ling Ma said disdainfully: "Using the energy lock seed I modified, Genesis can bring the power of Helheim Forest to its fullest, which is far beyond the reach of Zhan Ji Driver!"
From the very beginning, Sengoku Lingma knew very well that the power of the "Fixed Seed" came from the underworld of Helheim.
Moreover, through in-depth research on the drivers and locking seeds, he believes that there must be even more powerful things hidden in the underworld forest of Helheim that have not been discovered.
Therefore, compared to mass-producing drivers and saving the world, Zhan Ji Lingma would rather focus his research on the underworld of Helheim.
However, Takatora Wudao was only interested in preserving human civilization and did not care about the research on power at all, which made Sengoku Lingma feel that this close friend had become distracted from him.
He clearly recognized the other person...
"In that case~"
Kawahara smiled and said, "How about you use Genesis and I use Sengoku to fight you?"
As he said this, he put on the Zhan Ji Driver directly, and then took out the dragon fruit locking seed.
Zhan Ji Ling Ma: "..."
Zhan Ji Lingma looked at the dragon fruit lock seed in his hand calmly, then looked at the two people lying on the sofa on their left and right, and then thought about Kaiwu and Long Xuan who had been beaten without any ability to fight back.
He sneered: "I have no interest in fighting. Anyway, whether it is Zhan Ji or the power of Genesis, they were created by me!"
Kawahara listened and said nothing more. He calmly put away the lock and sat back on the sofa.
Anyway, we have fought enough knights today, and if this guy wants to try, he doesn't mind fighting one more.
Moreover, this person is a candidate that even the "Snake of Helheim Forest" looks down upon. Even though he later got the golden fruit with his own hands, Sagara did not think that he could become the winner.
Let's leave it to Takatora Wudao to solve it himself.
Zhan Ji Lingma stood there, clearly feeling that he was being completely despised by the other party.
Kawahara ignored him and picked up another intact Heim's Underworld Fruit to study it carefully. Just when he was wondering why he couldn't transform it into a fixed lock seed, the fruit in his hand turned into a lock seed.
He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and tentatively grabbed a new fruit from the table.
Swah——
The fruit turns into fixed seeds again.
Kawahara: "..."
He finally felt the transformative power coming from the "Battle Driver" at his waist.
But before that, Kawahara suspected that it was because he was not a human from this world, or that Sagara deliberately restricted his authority in the underworld of Heim, so he could not transform the fruit.
It could even be that he has bad luck and that’s why he can’t pick the locked seeds?
I didn't expect that after all this time it was because of the belt.
Although this conversion method seems a bit unscientific, just by developing this function, Sengoku Lingma can indeed be called a "genius physicist", right?
Thinking of this, Kawahara gave him another straight look.
Zhan Ji Ling Ma: “?”
What does this mean? Taunt him even more?
But Kawahara had already retracted his gaze, raised his hand and opened the crack in Helheim's underworld, allowing the forest to send over another vine full of fruits.
Zhan Ji Lingma's expression changed slightly when he saw this scene.
He suddenly took two steps forward, but before he could say anything, Wu Daoguihu appeared at the office door.
"Ling Ma?"
Takatora Wudao didn't expect him to be here, and looked around the office in surprise.
In the blink of an eye, the coffee table was filled with different fixed-lock seeds. On the sofa lay his unconscious brother and a girl, and next to it was a crack that continued to deliver fruit.
Although the scene looked a bit strange, at least Kawahara did not fight with Sengoku Ryoma.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then calmly looked at Zhan Ji Ling Ma and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Of course I came to give this to you."
Zhan Ji Lingma sighed helplessly, then pressed the safe he had been holding in his hand into Wu Dao Guihu's arms.
Even without opening it, Takatora Wudao knew what was inside.
He paused slightly: "This..."
Zhan Ji Lingma curled his lips and smiled: "I heard from the people in the research institute that you asked them to debug it. I am still worried whether the Genesis Drive will cause you sequelae. After all, the last injury has not healed yet, so this time I tested it myself - don't worry, there is no problem at all!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Daoguihu looked surprised. After looking at Zhan Ji Lingma who had a calm expression for a while, he lowered his head slightly with some hesitation.
"I……"
"After all, if Genesis hadn't been there, you would have let that brat escape again just now."
Zhan Ji Ling Ma interrupted him: "Then I will leave first."
Takatora Wudao stood at the door with mixed feelings and watched him leave. Then he closed the office door and placed the safe containing the Genesis drive next to the coffee table.
Because there is no more room on the desk.
"Why do you take so much..."
He looked at Kawahara in confusion as he enthusiastically arranged the fixed-lock seeds.
Kawahara said casually: "That's not important, but what do you think about Zhan Ji Ling Ma?"
The Genesis Drive was developed but not used, which was obviously a problem. Sengoku Lingma probably also realized that Wudao Guihu had a grudge against him.
But before things were ready, it was not appropriate for the two of them to fall out at this time, so what happened just now happened.
Kawahara considered it from the perspective that "Sengoku Ryoma definitely has ill intentions", but I don't know if Wudao Takatora was moved.
The two Kamen Riders who care most about the survival of the world, whether it is Kota Kuzuba or Takatora Wudao, seem to have many feelings that are difficult to let go.
Perhaps it is because of this that these two people are so eager to save the world.
Wudao Guihu frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid the research team of Helheim Forest is no longer under my control. I originally wanted them to help me check if there are any devices other than data in the drive, but I didn't expect Lingma to know so quickly."
After hearing this, Kawahara paused: "..."
He looked at Wu Daoguihu with some surprise, who had come to this conclusion.
Ah? So you are not a naive person?
However, after saying this, Wu Daoguihu paused, then opened the safe and took out the Genesis drive. He recalled the expression of Zhan Ji Lingma just now in his mind.
"but……"
Wu Daoguihu said with a complicated look: "I still want to use this belt."
Kawahara didn't say anything, he just picked the last fruit handed to him by the vine, and then pulled off the vine to turn it into a Qinglong stick.
Bang!
He hit Wu Dao Guang Shi's head again, as his eyelashes trembled and he seemed to be waking up.
Wu Daoguihu looked over: "..."
Kawahara breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, you can do whatever you want, but next you should quickly arrange to send your brother out of Sawame City!"
Wu Daoguihu looked at the other side of the sofa again: "Is that girl going to come too?"
"That's right, send them all away!"
