Chapter 458 Knight City x Shocker City
"I've never heard of you."
"I have heard of you, but I don't think you should be here."
A conversation could be heard between the two people walking in front.
Qian Qiao looked at the man beside him, frowned and said: "Because the history of this world has been distorted, the worlds of different Kamen Riders have merged together, so I appeared."
What he said seemed to have a hidden meaning, with an emotion that was difficult to understand.
Unlike Calis and Tachibana Sakuya, the reason why Kawahara believes that Inui Takumi is real is because he has a strong self-will - the same is naturally true for the people walking behind them at this moment.
Perhaps because he was used to seeing mass-produced monsters created by the Great Shocker Organization and Foundation X, he quickly recognized this feeling.
Kawahara then asked, "What do you think of Kamen Rider 3?"
"He is Shocker Knight, no doubt about it!"
Qian Qiao paused for a moment and glanced back at Kuroi Kyouichiro, who was still some distance away from them. His stern face showed no hesitation at all: "Because I escaped from the Knight City - no, it should be Shocker City!"
"Shocker City? That's also good." Kawahara smiled when he heard that.
"What do you mean?" Qian Qiao looked at him with a frown.
"The twisting point of history occurred on Kamen Rider No. 3 - because he killed No. 1 and No. 2, but before that, the 'birth of Kamen Rider No. 3' that had never happened in history was the real anomaly." Kawahara said lightly.
"so……"
Qian Qiao vaguely understood something: "Kamen Rider No. 3 doesn't even know what happened to him?"
Kawahara pondered and said, "I originally thought that he was just like Shi, relying on his own specialness to make this world exist, but after seeing you, I realized that this is actually different."
"What's different?" Qian Qiao asked.
"..."
Kawahara didn't respond.
Perhaps the distortion point of history is not on Kamen Rider No. 3 at all. The other party may just be a by-product of this incident. Even if he is eliminated, history cannot be corrected.
So who could it be?
But no matter what, since Kuroi Kyoichiro wants them to go to the so-called "Knight Castle", Kawahara doesn't mind cooperating.
And now it’s even better that that place is Shocker City.
"Anyway, just destroy the place directly."
Kawahara curled the corners of his mouth towards Qian Qiao who was beside him.
Qian Qiao paused again, looking at the man in front of him with a reckless and dangerous smile, he felt as if he was seeing an acquaintance.
but……
Where are all his acquaintances now?
……
……
Knight City.
Led by Kuroi Kyouichirō, everyone arrived at the so-called Knight Castle, but it was an empty square with only a manor of the Hongo family standing on the roadside not far away.
The butler has been waiting here for a long time.
The butler is Tachibana Tobei, an important partner who assisted Kamen Rider No. 1 and No. 2 in defeating the Shocker Organization. The other party's appearance obviously added more credibility to the backup plan left by Kamen Rider No. 1.
"Young Master Meng asked me to lead the way for you. Please come in." The butler asked them respectfully.
Kuroi Kyoichiro walked straight into the manor without any suspicion, but after taking two steps, he looked back and saw that no one was moving except Shijima Tsuyoshi.
After reacting, Shidao Tsuyoshi immediately retreated.
Kuroi Kyoichiro's expression remained unchanged when he saw this, and the mechanical smile on the face of the butler standing at the door of the villa also remained unchanged.
"What's wrong?" he simply asked. "That's enough."
Kawahara crossed his arms and said calmly: "Since we are already here, you can just let those people come out directly and save some steps."
He just wanted to find Shocker's base camp, not to experience the trap. Only Kazuto Kadoya liked to be ambushed.
In an instant, the atmosphere on the scene became solemn.
Sakurai Yuto looked at the two of them back and forth: "What do you mean? Is this guy really untrustworthy? Then why did you come here with him?"
Kuroi Kyoichiro looked at them with an unclear expression, retracted his steps towards the villa, and confronted the people outside through the fence gate of the manor.
"I do not understand what you are saying."
He spoke in a calm tone, as if he was making a final, dying struggle, so he didn't even try to hide his emotions.
As these words came out, a loud voice came from the other side of the square.
"Then let me tell you——!"
Everyone who heard this turned their heads to look, and Shidao Tsuyoshi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had finally found the organization and couldn't wait to run towards that person.
"Jin-san!"
The person who came over was Shinnosuke, who had shed the trendy clothes and spiky hairdo of this world and returned to wearing a suit and tie!
Before this, Toma Shinnosuke's cognition was distorted by history and he thought he was a Kamen Rider from Shocker's camp, but after seeing Kamen Rider Black sacrifice himself to protect his children and them, his conscience was awakened.
Later, Toma Shinnosuke met Sakurai Yuto again, and after temporarily separating from them, he had been secretly investigating the information of the Shocker Organization and Kamen Rider 3.
"Jin-san, have you remembered everything too?" Shidao Tsuyoshi looked at him in surprise.
Toma Shinnosuke nodded at him with a faint smile, then looked at Kuroi Kyoichiro opposite him with a serious face.
"You used the identity of No. 1 to spread information and let everyone gather here to fight against Shocker. This is just a trap for you to lure the awakened Kamen Riders here and destroy them in one fell swoop!" Toma Shinnosuke said sternly.
Even the appearance of Kamen Rider Garren and Blade before this was just a deception to make them walk into another trap.
As for who was deceived...
Anyway, it won’t be Shijima Tsuyoshi.
That was Sakurai Yuto, who had been monitoring and guarding against Kamen Rider No. 3, so at that time Kuroi Kyoichiro took the initiative to speak out and expose Sakurai Yuto's tracking.
Following Tomari Shinnosuke's revelation, the scene was silent for a while, and Kuroi Kyoichiro suddenly sighed heavily.
But then, a meaningless and playful smile appeared on his face again, and he spread his hands and said, "Ah, ha, ha ~ It actually came out like this."
The butler behind him suddenly ran into the villa at this moment, and then the ground began to shake violently, the concrete slabs cracked everywhere, and it seemed that something was shaking under the entire huge square.
"Rumble--"
A deafening roar resounded.
Standing in front of them, Kuroi Kyouichiro opened his arms as if to welcome them, and then a huge mechanical building emerged from the ground, replacing the manor.
Several people quickly retreated to the square, where they saw a circular building that looked like it was made of machines rising up with a rumble. Then, the mechanical gates opened, and countless monsters and Shocker fighters rushed out from all directions, screaming.
The few people standing in the center were quickly surrounded.
Qian Qiao took a defensive stance: "This is really a bit too hasty..."
Kuroi Kyouichiro looked at them and smiled: "So, you already knew Shocker's plan, and you followed here just to be eliminated?"
Kawahara looked at the Shocker Corps that ran out, and saw the cadre-level monsters emerging from the cylindrical mechanical building, but he did not find the figure of the person he wanted to investigate the most.
Kadoya Shi suddenly whispered, "There is no Narutaki."
Yes, Mingtaki still didn't show up.
Since that guy didn't come out, it means that this point is not all.
