Chapter 175
——So what are you going to do now?
"Let's investigate the recent strange events first. Since it is a crisis that threatens the world, there will always be some signs."
Kyosuke loosened his tie and walked off the hospital bed.
——In that case, there was indeed a very special incident recently. Do you know why I was lying in the infirmary of the police station?
"Please tell me. In fact, I only have memories after arriving here."
——Okay, everything starts with a robbery case we received...
While Terra Kyosuke was explaining Dr. Pac-Man's case to Kyosuke in detail, a vicious-looking uncle with dog ears walked in.
There was a trace of worry and nervousness in Daisuke Kosaka's eyes, but when he saw Kyosuke standing blankly in the infirmary, he quickly hid this worry.
When Kyousuke saw the face of the visitor, his thoughts stopped for a moment, and he just stared blankly at the man he hadn't seen for a long time.
Kousaka Daisuke, who didn't know Kyousuke's inner thoughts, naturally couldn't understand the other party's mood. Seeing his son acting stupid as always, Kousaka Daisuke's worry when he learned that his son was comatose instantly turned into anger.
"...Dad?"
"Call me Chief Kousaka at the police station! You idiot!"
The iron fist of love came down, awakening Kyosuke from his sluggish state, and Kosaka Daisuke turned around angrily.
"Report to me as soon as you wake up! The police station is seriously understaffed right now!"
After saying these words, the tall man left the infirmary. Kyosuke looked at the man's leaving figure.
--what? That stupid dad, I almost died here, can't you care more about me? Sorry, don't worry about it, my dad is such a strict person, he doesn't have any malice in his heart.
"I know, Dad always behaves like this in every world he is in."
After rubbing the place where he was beaten, the corners of Kyosuke's mouth unconsciously raised a little, and then he said something lonely, which silenced Terra Kyosuke.
"It's really nostalgic..."]
"..."
A wordless silence spread in the Takasaka family. Takasaka Kirino and Takasaka Yoshino covered their mouths and looked at the tall man with a normal expression in disbelief.
"Dad..."
Kyousuke, whose hands were trembling a little, also looked at the other person. Although Daisuke Kousaka was a very strict father to his son, causing Kyousuke to always complain about him in private, he was still a respectable man in Kyousuke's heart.
Suddenly knowing the news of their father's death, even if it was just the contents of the video that had nothing to do with reality, made several people in the Kosaka family very uncomfortable.
However, Daisuke Kosaka didn't care. He just continued to watch the video and even spoke to comfort a few people.
"Don't worry about it. As a policeman, I have long been prepared to die in the line of duty when necessary. It is an unexpected joy to know that Kyousuke you may inherit my responsibility and become a policeman in the future."
"..."
Looking at Daisuke Kosaka who calmly accepted the possibility of his own death and looked at him seriously instead, something began to slowly emerge in Kyousuke's heart.
[Time returns to the present, Ritsuka and a group of others came to the police station. Maybe the Kamen Riders and the Kamen Riders are attracted to each other.
The person responsible for receiving Ritsuka and others was actually Kyosuke.
After Ritsuka and Kyousuke looked at each other, they quickly discovered each other's identity from the surprise in their eyes.
"I didn't expect to meet you in this world, Officer Kousaka!"
When she saw an acquaintance, Ritsuka immediately relaxed. Her eyes would look at the ears on top of the other person's head from time to time, and then she would touch the top of her own head.
"Are these ears a disguise to blend into this world? The level of restoration is so high! Do you want me to wear something similar?"
"Senior, I recommend cat ears!"
Hearing Ritsuka's soliloquy, Mashu's eyes lit up and he immediately recommended himself. Kyosuke, who was sitting opposite, was also dumbfounded. At first, he thought these three people were similar to Agor (an aquatic creature) as he had learned. Could it be that a race with no obvious racial characteristics (a race that is the prototype) actually traveled through time with its original body?
"Huh? Is your body the original body?"
"ha?"
The orange-haired girl and the blue-black-haired young man stared at each other for a while before exchanging information.
"In other words, you traveled directly through a space-time rift?"
Kyousuke was confused, and suddenly felt that the unknown demon king was more reliable than the god he knew.
However, Ritsuka has a completely different view.
What the Demon King did was too simple and crude. He opened the space-time rift without informing him. Fortunately, Shirou responded in time. Otherwise, just thinking about the future where Dr. Pac-Man's Collapse Virus spreads wildly in his own world. Ritsuka shuddered a little.
Should we say that this is worthy of the name of "Demon King"? 】
Part-time Hero: He is indeed a bad guy. Although he has good intentions to protect the world, he just kills him first and then shows off without even telling him. As expected, Demon Kings are all self-centered guys!
Hasaka: Didn’t that demon king think about the possibility of game disease spreading in Ritsuka’s world?
Pure Love War God: I guess I have thought about it, but the Demon King probably doesn’t care. Rather, if such a situation really happens, Ritsuka and others will have more reasons to go to that world. .
Magical Merry: It was a conspiracy, the conspiracy that forced the Kamen Rider to go there.
Artificial Hope: If the Kami-sama who sent Kyosuke over was a relatively moderate conservative, then the Demon King was a complete radical, right?
Born because of you: Even if they have the same purpose and stance, can the choices made by intelligent life be so different?
I'm very curious: the doctor who wants to save the patient's heart and life, the supernatural hunter who solves various supernatural phenomena, the policeman with a strong sense of justice and the god with a very cute personality. It's really curious. Another one was called. What kind of person would the Kamen Rider be?
Artificial Hope: I’m curious too.
Dr. Lobster: You said that god has appeared in person, so will the last gem Kamen Rider with a ring be the demon king?
Wei Baozi: This is indeed a possibility, let’s keep looking at it.
[After understanding the other party’s situation, Kyosuke readily shared the intelligence and information he had investigated in the past few hours.
Opening the moved files, two familiar faces appeared in front of Ritsuka and others. That's exactly what happened with the black-haired man and the yellow-haired woman before they fought.
"Jeston Williams, a former mercenary, was employed by Rheinland Life six years ago and is the captain of a special operations unit under this company.
The Black Knight Mace, the former champion of the Casimir Knights Tournament, later disappeared for a period of time due to unknown reasons. When he reappeared, he became the personal bodyguard of a doctor at Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals. "
"Rhein-Life and Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals?"
Two members of companies who were incompatible with each other appeared together, which left Ritsuka a little confused and could only ask another question that she cared about.
"So has Dr. Pac-Man been identified?"
Kyousuke nodded, opened another file, picked out two pieces of information and handed them over.
"According to my investigation, the identity of Dr. Pac-Man, the leader of that terrorist organization, should be one of these two people."
"let me see."
Ritsuka took the information, and Mashu and Kazunari on the side also put their heads over.
"Lilia, a doctor of genetic engineering from Rhode Island, Dorothy, director of the Rhine Life Source Stone Technology Application Department..."
The information showed two beautiful women with different styles, one was a Felin woman with long dark brown hair, and the other was a blond Zarak woman. 】
When the names of the two women in the video appeared, Kelsey on Rhode Island and the senior executives of Rhine Life were stunned. They did not expect to see the faces of old acquaintances so suddenly.
Yaye, who was standing next to Kelsi, froze on the spot. Although her memory was a little blurry, Yaye would not admit that she was wrong. The woman who looked very similar to her was her mother.
Chen Shi sometimes laments that the cause and effect and differences between the world are so wonderful. As long as the butterfly flaps its wings, some people who should be alive will die in the line of duty, while some people who should be dead will die in unexpected ways. Survived.
[In the video, looking at the photos of these two people, Ritsuka raised his head and asked.
"Why are you sure it's one of them?"
"In fact, the information on these people I showed you has one thing in common. Although the identity of the big guy has not yet been found, it is probably someone who has this in common."
Kyousuke took out the tablet used in the police station and found a video.
The content seems to be an operation. 18 people, including the 4 people mentioned before, are busy in the operating room. Due to the shooting angle, Ritsuka and others cannot see the content on the hospital bed.
"Six years ago, Babel Fantasy, Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals and Rheinland Life secretly collaborated on an experiment. Almost all the information about this experiment was destroyed. This video is one of the few remaining information."
During Kyousuke's explanation, the situation in the video suddenly changed.
After a certain person screamed, everyone present turned into orange light particles and dissipated in the astonished eyes of Ritsuka and others, and the scene fell into deathly silence.
"..."
After a long silence, Kyosuke waited for Ritsuka and the others to digest the current information before speaking.
"As you can see, whether it's Jaston or Mace, they should have died six years ago. Now what we are facing is a weird event like in a horror movie."
Ritsuka's eyes flickered, and she suddenly heard the words that Dr. Pac-Man said when he left.
——For the sublimation of mankind. 】
Infinite Snake: As I suspected, people who died from being infected by the game virus did not die in the true sense, and their data still remained in the world.
Phoenix Academy Fierce Truth: So that’s it, did Dr. Pac-Man and her three men use this characteristic to resurrect themselves?
MEI: It's not resurrection, but turning into a new creature composed of data similar to the Bengyuan body. Therefore, Jeston and Big Man can turn themselves into Bengyuan bodies.
The Day the Gods Fallen: So what Dr. Pac-Man calls the ascension of all mankind is to turn all mankind into this state?
Pure Love God of War: Inseparable. What a crazy plan. Does she plan to exterminate human beings and create a new species?
The rebellious Lu Zhishen: No wonder it is said to be a crisis of human survival.
Rhode Island CEO: Then why specifically attack Miss Qiliang? Wouldn't it be more convenient and faster to directly release a large number of Pac-Man's collapse bodies?
The great teacher’s dead fish eyes: There should be some hidden dangers in this technology, right? You see, a total of 18 people disappeared at first, but now only 4 people have returned.
The first-generation cute king: ...I always feel that this method is wrong.
[On the other side, after regaining consciousness, Qiliang showed no concern after learning about his condition. Instead, he wanted to give up treatment and go back to playing games. What happened to Amiya and Precious? I can't even try to persuade him.
"The number of downloads agreed upon by President Theresia and I will soon be reached! How can I have a good rest at this juncture!"
After listening to Qiliang's suggestion, Chen simply thought of a way.
Let Qiliang leave the hospital and continue playing games, while CR will use this as a bait to wait and see. Dr. Pac-Man is obviously very obsessed with Qiliang and will definitely take action.
"Wait! Using the patient's life safety as bait is too much..."
Of course Amiya would not agree, but Chen's next words blocked her mouth.
"We don't have time, intern. There are more than 100,000 people suffering from game sickness this time. It's too late to perform operations one by one. The only way is to eliminate the source."
"...Okay, but I have to follow to protect Miss Qiliang personally."
Amiya also knew that the situation was urgent and that extreme measures had to be taken. She clenched her fists and volunteered to take on the guard duty.
Everyone assigned their work and started their respective actions.
Because it was too dangerous, Qiliang's roommates Yan and Angelina were left in the CR Center, and the two looked at each other uneasily.
At this moment, a smiling male voice came into the ears of the two of them.
"Good afternoon, two beautiful ladies."
A suspicious man with a hood in a floral shirt walked into the CR Center. As an emergency combat force specially invited by Theresia, his focus on this incident was somewhat different from others.
"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, I'm the general manager of this CR center! I have some important questions to ask you now. Don't be nervous. It's not a difficult question. Whatever I ask, you can answer it truthfully. alright."
Kiriya showed off his eloquence and acting skills as a veteran liar when he appeared. Coupled with his handsome face with extremely high scores, the two inexperienced female college students were quickly deceived by each other. He told Kiriya about Kirara and the game she made.
Under Guiriya's sweet words, Angelina even got into a fight, not realizing that she had been tricked into leaking her best friend's private information.
Kiriya smiled and chatted with the two female college students on the surface, but in his heart he was reviewing the information he had just obtained.
"Genetic engineering and jigsaw puzzles..."]
Nayako: Cheche! It's a living Cheche!
Rhode Island CEO: Doctor...this performance is a bit hard to describe...
Chaos Evil Gudazi: Although I was very happy to see Cheche alive, I felt mixed emotions when I saw him coaxing girls so skillfully.
Barus: Cheche, although you looked very handsome when you avenged your friend, you were really disdainful when you deceived the female college student!
Kaneki's pain: If the previous plot hadn't let me know that Dr. Kujo is a good person, I would have called the police by now.
Cancer of the Earth: Cheche, my happy Superman!
Commander Ratatosk: Wow, sister, I always feel that Cheche is more suitable for the job of capturing elves than you! Too skilled, isn't he a cowherd?
