Chapter 441 Only the Truth
Gear Shift: Huh? Then I...?
Kawahara said with a smile: "So what I can tell you now is that Chase is already a complete living being in some ways. Although he is a mechanical creation, you can regard this as a miracle of life created by humans."
Is there anything that is not allowed in the Kamen Rider world?
But the gear-shift chariot seemed a little confused. After leaving him, it went back to the side of the hunter.
Zhui Lie was sitting next to him, and the torn wound on his chest had slowly healed. After all, the mechanical mutant's recovery ability was very strong, so this was not a fatal injury to him.
Although mechanical mutants are all "robot"-like creations at first, they can get everything from a human being by "copying" that person.
For example, appearance and flesh and blood.
Even including that person's feelings and pursuits.
But for some unknown reason, Zhuilie did not gain the feelings of the person he copied.
Kurim, who created him, explained that as a prototype of all "mechanical mutants", Chaser had a program of "absolute justice" in him. Therefore, in order not to be affected by the complex emotions of humans, he did not have the ability to "evolve" from the beginning.
All mechanical mutants need to "evolve" to gain special superpowers and the ability to understand emotions.
However, the monster form of the "Magic Pursuer" that is hunting is actually just modified using the virus core, and is not an evolution of the mechanical mutant No. 000 itself.
"Absolute justice is your underlying program, so your liking for humans is something you derived from yourself," Kawahara said.
"..."
Zhuilie couldn't help but touch his chest again, even though it was already wrapped in layers of bandages.
The gearshift chariot hit his arm.
Kawahara acted as an interpreter and said, "It wants to know when you started to like humans - is it because of that girl?"
Hunting: "..."
Kawahara paused suddenly: "...If so, it also likes that girl."
Hunting: “…”
Although Zhui Lie kept a straight face and said nothing, his eyes had gradually widened and an expression of incredible shock seemed to appear on his face.
He then quickly reacted, shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Hunting really doesn't know.
He didn't even understand human emotions before, so things like "protection", "heartbeat", "liking" and "love" were all what he wanted to do in his heart.
Just like he wanted to protect Shijima Kiriko and didn't want her to encounter sad things, this was what he wanted to do at that moment.
This time, before being seduced by an angel mechanical mutant, Chase wanted to help a socially anxious boy cheer up.
But since he can't communicate, can't perform social etiquette that humans can accept, and can't even smile, his desire to help cannot be conveyed at all.
So he developed a strong desire to "understand humans". He believed that only by becoming a human being could he better help humans!
"but……"
Zhuilie looked at the sea in front of him quietly: "As expected, I just need to stay like this. What humans think of me will not change what I want to do."
Even humans cannot fully understand each other, let alone humans and mechanical mutants.
Kawahara looked at him without saying anything.
At this moment, Zhuilie suddenly turned his head to look at him, approached him earnestly and said, "I want to ask you a favor!"
"Hmm?" Kawahara raised his eyebrows calmly.
"After getting the feather circuit, I promised a boy that I would continue to play basketball with him tomorrow, but now I can no longer communicate with him like last time, so..."
Zhuilie said very seriously: "I will reject him!"
Kawahara: "...Then why are you telling me?"
Zhui Lie pursed his lips slightly: "Because I want to reject him properly and tell him that basketball really needs to be played with more people."
That child is really too introverted. He clearly wants to make friends with everyone, but he doesn't have the courage to take that step.
After acquiring the emotional expression brought by the feather circuit, Chasing, with a very considerate and enthusiastic attitude, took him to take the first step - "playing basketball with unfamiliar people".
But this is just the beginning of getting the boy to open his heart, and Zhuilie hopes that he can continue to move forward bravely.
So he looked at Kawahara and said, "When I'm with you, my feelings seem to be burning, so I hope you can go with me."
Kawahara raised an eyebrow: "So you still have this feeling, but are you using me as a power bank?"
Chaser said sternly, "I'm sorry."
When he got close to this person, he seemed to be able to inadvertently regain his sanity with the feather circuit, but after losing the feather circuit, he could feel the suppressed emotions in his heart again.
It was a strange and contradictory feeling. It was as if he could only show his "truth" in front of this person.
But it seemed natural that the hunter could have such an impact on the person in front of him, because the other person possessed such power.
This is a very special human being.
Kawahara immediately chuckled: "I can help you, but you have to do me one thing too."
"Please go ahead." Chaser nodded seriously.
"Take this guy with you."
Kawahara pressed a finger on the gearshift chariot on the sand: "Then, use its power to let it feel your mood."
"Buzz—buzz—"
The gear-shifting chariot let out a long whistle.
Chasing said in a low voice: "It doesn't want to."
Kawahara said nonchalantly, "Then I'll have to use it myself."
The Black Hunter fell silent.
……
……
On the road along the coast.
Toma Shinnosuke and Shijima Tsuyoshi were leaning against the body of the "Setron", the latter folding his arms and staring with a puzzled look at two people sitting on the reef not far away.
"What on earth are they talking about?"
"I don't know, but Chase's experience during this period is quite complicated. I hope he can return to normal as soon as possible." Tomari Shinnosuke sighed.
"This guy is really going to cause us trouble. As expected, the mechanical mutant is..."
Shidao Tsuyoshi was just muttering about his dissatisfaction with the mechanical mutants when he saw that the Hunter over there seemed to have finished talking to the strange Kamen Rider, and he stood up and walked towards them.
Toma Shinnosuke quickly stepped forward and asked, "Chase, are you okay?"
"Don't worry."
Zhuilie answered this question with his usual expressionless face, walked past them and got on the motorcycle parked nearby.
Shidao Gang immediately clenched his fists in dissatisfaction: "This cold guy is really..."
Toma Shinnosuke smiled: "That's great, he finally returned to his previous appearance. It turns out that he is more reassuring this way!"
The previous enthusiastic and lively state was really too scary...
After watching the hunter ride away on his motorcycle, a dark track suddenly appeared in the air and quickly caught up with them. Then, a voice came from behind them.
"Hello~"
Shidao was startled and looked back, only to find that Kawahara had been standing behind them without them noticing.
Toma Shinnosuke accepted Kawahara well: "Hello! I don't think I've ever said it seriously. I'm Toma Shinnosuke, Kamen Rider Drive and a detective! And he is--"
"Shijima Tsuyoshi." Shijima Tsuyoshi took the initiative to speak.
"Aha..."
So Tomar Shinnosuke smiled again and said, "Um, you are also a senior of Kamen Rider, right?"
The Kamen Rider Accel who appeared before and was also a policeman had already been recognized as a senior by Tomari Shinnosuke, so the man in front of him who was familiar with him must be the same!
Kawahara raised the corner of his lips and said, "Senior or something doesn't matter. I may stay with you for a while - because of the mechanical mutant."
Toma Shinnosuke was stunned when he heard this: "Because of the mechanical mutant? Is it because Chase still has..."
"No, it's because of the mechanical mutant." Kawahara corrected and emphasized.
"..."
Shidao next to him hadn't said anything, but at this moment his eyes suddenly moved. A young and energetic man couldn't hide his thoughts, and his sudden change of expression clearly showed that he had thought of something.
Kawahara also looked at him: "In order to prevent some accidents from interfering with what I like, I have to kill him first."
Because of Shidao Tsuyoshi——his father.
The culprit that caused the "mechanical mutants" to rebel against humans and triggered a global crisis!
