Chapter 438: False Things Are Beautiful
Kawahara looked at the strange-looking Demon Chaser with a golden body in front of him.
This is the hunting mechanical mutant posture.
The body was made of intertwined exoskeleton and cables, and the head was wrapped in bandages with only a single mechanical eye on the left that emitted red light, giving it a gloomy and bandit-like aura. Even though the body had changed from dark purple to shining gold, it couldn't change that feeling.
His posture made him look like a Frankenstein monster that came out of some illegal laboratory.
In fact, after being captured by the "Mechanical Mutants" organization, the other party did use black technology to transform him.
So it’s still Frankenstein after all!
"You're Chase, right?"
Kawahara looked at him with a faint smile on his face.
The chaser didn't respond for a moment.
Even after being endowed with rich "human emotions" by the angel mechanical mutant, he has been able to skillfully deal with various situations that require expressing emotions, but at this moment he still doesn't know how to face the person in front of him.
There is an inexplicable feeling emanating from the other person. Even if he shows you approachable kindness and a smile, this person's existence itself seems to represent a strong sense of oppression.
The chase seemed to remind him of his past self.
The gear-shifting chariot came from not far away, circled around Kawahara, and was caught by a lightning-fast gesture as expected.
"I came to you because this little guy is curious about your 'emotions towards humans'. He wants to know whether mechanical creations have the nature of 'life'."
"Mechanical...life?"
Chasing Hunter repeated the words in a low, hoarse voice, but suddenly realized that he seemed to have used his usual formal tone, and he immediately mobilized his emotions again.
Then the sound became clearer.
"Because I want to protect humanity."
"Why?" Kawahara asked casually.
"Because I love humans."
"So where does this feeling come from?"
"from……"
Zhui Lie's calm voice suddenly got stuck again.
Where did it come from?
It comes from the underlying program of "absolute justice" implanted in the "Mechanical Mutant Prototype".
That's the curious question for the Gear Shift Chariot.
Zhui Lie became somewhat at a loss, just like when he felt pain after hurting humans as a "Magic Tracker" and was hesitant about his contradictory behavior.
While the two were talking, Kamen Rider Drive and Kamen Rider Mach, who were standing on the other side, also ran over.
Toma Shinnosuke looked at Kawahara: "Black Hunter... is that your gear-shifting tank? Actually, you are also a Kamen Rider, right?"
Kawahara's eyes fell on him: "I'm Kawahara, I can be Kamen Rider. - Also, I'm a little curious, have you never used this guy?"
He gestured to the gearshift chariot in his hand, which was struggling slightly and restlessly.
From memory, the Gear Shift Chariot has been with Kamen Rider Drive's crew for a long time. Haven't these guys ever thought of capturing it and using it?
Toma Shinnosuke smiled awkwardly but politely: "It won't let anyone get close to it."
Except for Shidao Kiriko who came later, no one could get in touch with the Black Hunter. Shidao Tsuyoshi had tried many times to test this gear-shifting chariot, but the final result was always being hit on the head by the opponent!
During this time, the black hunter no longer lingered around them, but according to Shijima Kiriko, he went to the side of the hunter.
No one knows what its purpose is yet.
Kawahara spread out his palms, watching the gear-shifting chariot rush out impatiently: "It does seem that it doesn't like being restrained, but you can just catch it and use it by force."
If you force it into the Drive, the gear shift tank will probably just struggle for the sake of presentation, but in fact it will still curiously control Kamen Rider Drive to fight.
Toma Shinnosuke: “…Ahaha.”
To say something like this...
Is this guy really the master of the Black Hunter?
Shidao Tsuyoshi came forward from the side and said, "Wait a minute - no matter who you are or what your purpose is, we should hurry up and deal with that mechanical mutant!"
The angel mechanical mutant was attacked repeatedly by them just now, and now we should take advantage of the victory to destroy it in one fell swoop!
Why are we chatting here?!
The silent hunter next to him seemed to react after hearing this. He subconsciously touched his chest, then immediately turned the car around and planned to look for the angel mechanical mutant.
But Kawahara took a step forward and reached out to hold down the dark purple motorcycle under him.
The roar of the engine suddenly stopped. Zhui Lie looked up at Kawahara standing in front of him, and met his gentle eyes that showed an unquestionable look. "Please move aside. I'm going to rescue them all!" Zhui Lie said in a deep voice.
Among the "digital cores" absorbed by the Angel Mechanical Mutant, there was a friend who was also a Mechanical Mutant that he cared about.
He loves humans and chooses to protect them from mechanical mutants, but he also cannot let go of this alternative group of "mechanical mutants".
"I can help you with what you want to do, but you can't just let it go, because the feelings you have now don't belong to you." Kawahara stared at him.
"I..." Zhuilie was suddenly stunned.
At this moment, the Black Hunter chariot suddenly hit his chest. Although the force was not great, it still knocked him backwards.
Kawahara also suddenly raised his hand towards him at this moment, and Zhuilie blocked it almost reflexively, but the hand took advantage of the situation to grab his arm and pulled away, and the other hand attacked again!
Snapped!
Zhuilie quickly grabbed his left hand again, but the next moment, Kawahara suddenly exerted force to the side and back with both arms, and pulled Zhuilie off the motorcycle!
The two men, with their hands shackled, rolled on the ground together. Zhuilie immediately rolled on the ground and raised half of his body, almost instinctively clenching his fists and attacking the figure!
Swah——
The fist that created a strong wind stopped in front of the man's face. The eyes that were staring at him were still calm, and there was even a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
"what happened?"
Zhui Lie was suddenly startled and quickly retracted his fist.
The two of them acted so suddenly that Shidao just recovered from his dizziness and wanted to step forward: "What are you doing——"
But Kamen Rider Drive stopped him.
Kulim's voice came from the Drive:
"Is it because of that feather? Chase, you need to remove the thing that affects your program. The emotions it gives you are created through illusions!"
Hearing this, Zhuilie touched his chest again, and even subconsciously wanted to refuse.
He felt his heart was burning at this moment.
Not a cold machine.
So he was fascinated by the feeling of being able to understand humans, to completely release his inner feelings, and to interact freely with humans.
But... but...
Although what the Angel Mechanical Mutant wants to do is not right, isn’t such a thing beautiful?
"False things are always beautiful."
"I……"
The half-kneeling chaser looked up in a daze, like a sinful believer looking up at the light in front of him. Gorgeous and misty flowers exploded in front of his eyes. He seemed to be in a warm embrace and instantly felt everything he desired in his heart.
The emotions bestowed by the feathers brought him extreme joy and pleasure.
The strange appearance of the golden "Magic Chaser" faded, and the chase revealed his human appearance. The face that was always cold in the past showed a simple smile like a child.
"I……"
The chase slowly lost sight of what was in front of him.
Kawahara stared at the person in front of him.
The gear-shifting chariot was frantically knocking out question marks beside him, as if a sample of what was considered a car-born philosophy had been contaminated.
"In fact, whether he is influenced by his underlying program and deeply loves humans, or is controlled by the current feather circuit and feels human emotions, in some ways they are almost the same," Kawahara said.
『？』Does this mean that all the emotions he had since he was born were false?
The gear shifting chariot cannot be understood.
"It's just that the program is a self-derived logic, while the feather circuit is directly covered with a layer of viral modules."
『？ ？ 』What is the difference?
"For example, you are now a proud gear-shifting chariot, which is the result of your own derivation, and I named you UltHunter, which is another component I want to give you."
"………"
The gear-shifting chariot quickly moved away from Kawahara.
Kawahara then looked at the hunter in front of him who had gradually lost his self-awareness and was immersed in the emotions brought about by the hallucination, with an unknown meaning flashing in his eyes.
Is he a "life" born from a machine?
In this world, it counts.
