I'm really just human

"Dragon Rider" time and space.

Xia Chuan opened his eyes under the light, and there was a glass wall in front of him.

His face was still the same in the mirror, but he was wearing a professional suit jacket again, with a work ID hanging in front of him.

"Kannaga Shinji..."

The name hasn't changed either.

The surrounding area seemed to be a shopping mall, with pedestrians coming and going. After Xia Chuan glanced around, he carefully checked his belongings.

It's one thing to enter the dragon knight's time and space, but it's another thing to enter the mirror world.

Ordinary people cannot enter the mirror world, nor can they survive in the mirror world. Even if they enter by mistake, they will quickly decompose and disappear. Only those who transform into mirror world knights can move around normally in it, and the activity time is not particularly long.

Correspondingly, the monsters in the mirror world cannot exist here for a long time, so they spend most of their time stalking their prey in the mirror, and only appear to attack when they find an opportunity.

Now he needs the identity of a mirror world knight to take action.

but……

There is no card box used by "Dragon Knight" knights.

The knights here all use the same Kamen Rider system, and their transformation and combat are controlled through a server-like core.

The key transformation prop is a box for storing cards, through which a message is sent to the "server" to summon the belt.

Using skills also reads cards and uploads them to the "server".

Unlike blade, the knights here can basically only use their own matching cards. Otherwise, even if the reading is successful, the "server" will only think it is a request from the other party, which is equivalent to reading the card for the other party.

The person who controls the "server" is Kanzaki Shirou, who developed the knight system, and is a boss-like character in this world.

This can actually be said to be the world of the Kanzaki brothers and sisters.

Kanzaki Shirou actually developed the knight system to collect life force and save his sister.

Give the knight card set to human beings who can use their lives as bets and have their own desires. While the knight fights and becomes stronger, the life energy is concentrated, and finally transformed into new life.

For this reason, Kanzaki Shirou lied to the outside world that the final winner can realize all wishes.

Those who are inspired to become knights will fight until they die.

Because the knight system itself also has traps, each knight has his own transformed contract beast. If he does not kill other mirror world monsters to collect life force, the knight will in turn be swallowed by his own contract beast.

It's really devouring, not just out of control like the Club Knight.

In order to better control the battle and maintain the mirror world, Kanzaki Shirou gave up his body and became a creature of the mirror world. When necessary, he used agents to intervene in knight battles.

"call!"

Xia Chuan roughly reviewed the information about "Dragon Rider" and basically figured out his identity.

A reporter who works at the same newspaper as the protagonist Shinji Kido of "Dragon Rider".

There was nothing else on him except a voice recorder, a camera, pen and paper, and a wallet. Of course, there was no card case that was the symbol of the Knights of the Mirror World.

As expected, I wasn't very lucky and couldn't become a knight directly.

I can only go back and look for opportunities to see if there are any boxes that are not bound to the contracted beast in the initial state.

Otherwise he can't do anything.

"We've found our spot, Kaminaga-senpai!"

A long-haired young man shouted loudly from across the mall, looking particularly excited. He ran over without waiting for Xia Chuan's response.

Just when passing by a shop booth, the young man suddenly tripped and fell, and a series of plates crashed and fell into a pile of pieces.

Hiss, this guy...

"boom--!"

Shopping mall security booth.

The corners of Xia Chuan's eyes twitched, and he paid the compensation and looked at the long-haired young man who lowered his head.

This guy is Shinji Kido, the protagonist of "Ryuuki", but he has not yet become Kamen Rider Ryuki. He is rough in doing things and gets him into trouble as soon as he comes.

"I'm sorry, senior," Shinji Kido opened his mouth with a bitter look on his face, "I will pay you back after I get my salary."

"Let's talk about it then."

Xia Chuan shook his head secretly.

Fortunately, he had money, otherwise he would have been embarrassed along with this guy.

"What did you mean when you said you found the location just now?"

"That's the missing person named Koichi Sakakibara. I found the apartment where he lives," Shinji Kido said with renewed enthusiasm, "It's in Hakusan, Bunkyo District, not very far from here."

"Koichi Sakakihara..."

Natsukawa left the mall with the highly motivated Shinji Kido.

This guy's card case was picked up somewhere, and it seems that he hasn't gotten it yet.

You can still follow and check the situation first.

He happened to owe money, so it made sense to lend him the box.

"Senior Kaminaga," Shinji Kido felt uncomfortable, "What's wrong with me?"

"Nothing, you will be the one to lead the interview today."

Xia Chuan has already read the newspaper website.

He seemed to have replaced a senior reporter at the newspaper, and Shinji Kido, who was still a trainee reporter, was led by him.

It’s the same old routine of seniors leading newcomers.

However, he has no experience as a reporter, nor is he interested in doing so.

Let Shinji Kido find the initial box first.

"Senior, I feel like you are acting weird today." Shinji Kido muttered and took the initiative to ride to the front to lead the way.

Bunkyo District.

Shinji Kido found the apartment manager and went upstairs from the corridor escalator with Natsukawa.

The apartment building looks very old, and it seems that because of an incident, not a single resident can be seen.

"It's really a headache. The police can't be trusted at all, and I can't collect the rent. I'm begging you."

"Don't worry, we will find out the truth."

Shinji Kido confidently assured the old administrator, but when he turned around, he found Natsukawa stopped at the top of the stairs.

"senior?"

"call!"

A cold air blew through the corridor.

Xia Chuan looked up at the glass of the tall building opposite and faintly saw a long, dark red dragon wandering in the reflection of the mirror.

Dragon Rider's contracted beast.

It seems that the location is correct, the initial box is indeed here.

"Senior Kaminaga?"

Shinji Kido shouted in confusion, and when he saw Natsu Chuan entering the corridor first, he followed him blankly.

Today's senior seems to be a different person.

"This is it."

The old administrator took out a bunch of keys and opened the door.

The light in the small room was dim and the windows were covered with newspapers.

"I originally wanted to tidy up the room, but it looked gloomy so I didn't do it..."

"Leave it to us next."

Xia Chuan narrowed his eyes and entered the room directly.

Nearly all the places where reflective mirrors existed were covered with newspapers, except in one place.

There was a big hole in the blinds, and the newspaper taped to them was torn, as if something had burst through the mirror.

"It feels a bit scary," Shinji Kido's neck felt cold and he tore off a piece of newspaper in confusion, "Why would you do such a thing?"

Xia Chuan picked up the black initial set box that fell on the ground and looked out the window again.

The red dragon is still wandering outside, getting a little more active and ready to move, and has obviously set its sights on this place.

If there were no accidents, the tenant here should not have disappeared, but was swallowed by this monster dragon.

These mirror world monsters need to devour the life energy of other monsters or humans to survive, and people holding boxes are more likely to be attacked.

"Shinji, please go outside and wait for me."

Xia Chuan opened the curtains and walked to the balcony.

The figure of the red dragon in the glass of the tall building opposite became clearer. It circled back and forth several times, seeming to be instinctively afraid, but not wanting to give up just like that.

Xia Chuan's life energy was extremely strong, like a burning torch in the dark night.

After circling once again, the red dragon finally couldn't bear it anymore and roared out of the mirror world.

"Roar!"

"Ah? Why..."

Before Shinji Kido could react in the room, he turned around and saw the red dragon swooping towards Natsukawa outside the balcony.

"senior!"

"boom--!"

Xia Chuan picked up the glove box in his hand, raised his arm in concentration, and directed a circle of telekinetic light toward the red dragon.

Dragon Knight shouldn’t write too much
