Isn't fighting with cards the same as playing cards?

[Monster Card]

[Undead/Effect:]

[①: It can only be used after activating the power of the Golden Lord. It only works when the power of the Philosopher's Stone exists. The person who activates the power of the Golden Lord will be able to freely use the power of alchemy under the blessing of the Philosopher's Stone without worrying about energy loss. ]

[②: It can only be used when the card holder suffers fatal damage. The power of the Philosopher's Stone contained in the card will be consumed, and the damage suffered by the card holder will be fully restored, even death can be reversed. ]

The card face of Golden Lord Eldridge is basically the same as the monster card that Shiraishi is familiar with, but there are slight differences in the text description.

The attack power and defense power that are standard for monster cards have disappeared, and the monster effects that were originally effective in the Yu-Gi-Oh battle have also been replaced with some other effects.

"In a sense, the Golden Lord does fit the theme of the alchemist very well. Then, if you use the two cards of Golden Lord and Rider-System, you should be able to transform into a Kamen Rider, right?" Shiraishi said to himself.

At least from the current situation, the power of the Golden Lord can be said to be very strong.

Not only can it allow Shiraishi to perfectly exert the power of the alchemy-related knowledge that he has been infused with, but it also gives Shiraishi a second life that can save him from death.

Just after Shiraishi checked the contents of the two cards, the mysterious voice of the black shadow sounded again in Shiraishi's mind.

[Your identity in this world is a genius alchemist. You are Katsuragi Takumi's lifelong rival and best friend in the field of scientific research before he lost his memory. ]

[If Katsuragi Takumi's ultimate concept Build as a genius physicist is [creation] and [construction], then as his opposite, the concept you pursue is [disassembly] and [analysis]. ]

[You have been competing in the field of science all the time, but one day, you lost all the news related to Katsuragi Takumi. ]

[In order to find out why your nemesis and best friend disappeared, you began to investigate. ]

[You vaguely investigated some truths related to the disappearance of Katsuragi Takumi through your own way, and thus roughly understood that there is a vicious alien hiding in this world. ]

[However, you were unable to find out the information of the alien, but used the new materials you researched and the Rider-System left by Katsuragi Takumi to create a GotcharDriver that can be used to fight aliens. ]

[You plan to use the power of alchemy to collect power that can be used for fighting while investigating the truth behind the disappearance of Katsuragi Takumi. ]

[And at this time, a new colleague named Kiryu Battle Rabbit and an urban legend related to Kamen Rider Build appeared in your field of vision. ]

[Looking at the design that is exactly the same as the Rider-System designed by Katsuragi Takumi, you have a strong interest in the true identity of this Kamen Rider Build. ]

[You decide to start investigating. ]

As the voice of the black shadow sounded in his mind, Shiraishi also noticed that some things he had never experienced gradually turned into memories and poured into his mind.

The past events of mutual appreciation and competition with Katsuragi seem to be vivid in my mind, and the false memories condense into real emotions under the manipulation of the black shadow.

The knowledge of dismantling everything, analyzing everything, and reconstructing the world with the power of alchemy is also clearer.

And the daily work content and some interpersonal relationships at work are gradually familiar.

Finally, some urban legends related to Kamen Rider Build and memories related to the meeting with Kiryu Battle Rabbit also flooded into my mind.

Everything is so natural, as if Shiraishi has really lived in this world for a long time.

And it was at this time that Shiraishi noticed that not far away, the sky wall that divided the whole of Japan into three pieces was lying there.

At this moment, Shiraishi seemed to have really integrated into this world and became a member of this world.

Then, the voice of the black shadow sounded again.

[All you have to do is to act within the set role framework, participate in the story of Kamen Rider Build as [enemy] [close friend] [old friend] or [mentor], and please me as much as possible. 】

【If you can bring me enough joy, you will also get the corresponding reward. 】

【If you take actions that go beyond the role framework, you must be prepared to be wiped out. 】

After hearing the black shadow's words without any emotion, Shiraishi simply looked at the wall of the sky.

Shiraishi, who had died once, had no choice.

God's will, at least he couldn't resist it now.

After staring at the huge wall quietly for a long time, Shiraishi also put away the Gotchar Driver and the card storage box, and then walked towards his workplace according to his memory.

Whether he was approaching Kiryu Battle Rabbit as a genius alchemist or approaching Kamen Rider Build as Kamen Rider Golden Lord, he needed to go to his workplace to simply collect some information.

At this point, he might as well find a class to attend.

003-Toudu Advanced Material Research Institute

Shiraishi works at the Toto Advanced Materials Research Institute, which is also where the main characters such as Katsuragi Takumi, Kiryu Sento, Himuro Gentoku and Utsumi Nariaki in the original work work.

And his profession is naturally that of a researcher.

It can be said that the main storyline in the early stages of "Kamen Rider Build" basically revolves around the content studied by this research institute and the past events that occurred there.

If you want to get involved in the plot, using this as the entry point is a clever choice.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the almost omnipotent black shadow gave Shiraishi [Genius Alchemist] the status of a researcher at the Advanced Materials Research Institute in the Eastern Capital.

...

Tokyo Institute of Advanced Materials.

When Shiraishi arrived here, someone was already standing at the door of the Tokyo Advanced Materials Research Institute waiting for him.

Shiraishi quickly identified who the man with the mustache was.

Himuro Gentoku.

Himuro Gentoku, the director of the Toto Advanced Materials Research Institute, is also the assistant to the Prime Minister of Toto and the Kamen Rider Night Rogue of the evil organization Faust.

One of the villains in the early stages of "Kamen Rider Build", he later joined the protagonist's team and became the backbone of the fight against the final villain Evolt.

People give him the nickname [Honest Man].

Not only was he an image of always answering questions when he was a villain, but he was also outspoken after joining the protagonist group.

Just ask and there will be no hiding.

Suffice it to say, with absolutely no hints.

And now he is Shiraishi's immediate boss.

Himuro Gentoku stood quietly at the gate of the Toto Advanced Materials Research Institute. He put his hands in his pockets and looked at Shiraishi with a majestic posture.

And when Shiraishi walked into the Toto Advanced Materials Research Institute, he stretched out his hand to stop Shiraishi, and naturally put his hand on Shiraishi's shoulder.

Such a simple action, combined with his serious expression, really gave him a special sense of coercion.

Shiraishi looked at Himuro Gentoku and asked, "Mr. Himuro, what's the reason for stopping me?"

To be honest, although Shiraishi has seen the work "Kamen Rider Build", he has forgotten many of its details to this day.

He couldn't remember clearly whether Himuro Gentoku was planning something now.

Therefore, now that Himuro Gentoku appears in front of Shiraishi in such a coercive manner, Shiraishi is a little afraid.

Although the shadow claiming to be God has forged all the details of Shiraishi's life in this world, and even forged Shiraishi's entire experience in creating the Gotchar Driver.

But this does not make Shiraishi feel at ease.

It's not that Shiraishi thinks that the black shadow can't forge all the details. As for the black shadow's ability, Shiraishi, who has personally experienced it, still believes in it - whether it is imparting knowledge or modifying memory, the black shadow can do it. It's easy to pick up, so it couldn't be easier to fake Shiraishi's past a little bit.

What Shiraishi was really worried about was the black shadow's evil intentions.

The black shadow not only kept saying "please me", but also inexplicably arranged settings such as "old enemy" and "best friend" for Shiraishi.

Who knows if He will suddenly add a setting like "Everything you do seems to leave clues, and the leader of Faust is tracking down the rat who tried to get involved in the Rider-System".

If that were the case, Himuro Gentoku would have to be careful.

Therefore, Shiraishi decided to ask directly.

After all, Himuro Gentoku answers all questions.

Himuro Hantoku looked at the sky wall outside the door, first patted Shiraishi on the shoulder, and then turned to look at Shiraishi. He said: "Shiraishi-kun, you are late."

Then, before Shiraishi could make up a reason to explain, Himuro Gentoku touched his beard, and then said to Shiraishi: "It's okay, Shiraishi-kun, I understand you.

"You and Katsuragi-kun were very good friends. Now that he has died, it is normal for you to fall into a trough for a period of time because of his passing.

"However, I still hope that you can get over the sadness of Katsuragi-kun's death as soon as possible, and return to work at the Toto Advanced Materials Research Institute as soon as possible."

Himuro Gentoku's tone was somewhat earnest, as if he was very sorry for Shiraishi's absence.

Then, Himuro Gentoku also raised his head and looked at the special item called Pandora's Box stored in the center of the Toto Advanced Materials Research Institute.

Himuro Hantoku sighed slowly, and said: "After all, the mystery of the birth of the Sky Wall, the truth hidden behind Pandora's Box, all of this may even affect the pattern of the world, we must Only by mastering its secrets as soon as possible can you take the initiative.

"Speaking of which, Katsuragi-kun was once one of the main members of the Pandora's Box research project. If you can do your best to promote the research on Pandora's Box, I think it will allow Katsuragi-kun to become a Buddha with more peace of mind."

After hearing Himuro Hantoku's words, Shiraishi relaxed slightly.

At least nothing else.

However, along with Himuro Hantoku's words, Shiraishi's emotions were awakened again.

He knew that he had just arrived in this world, and that Katsuragi Takumi was not really killed, but was used by Evolt to become Kiryu Battle Rabbit.

However, perhaps because of the memories infused by the black shadow, he still felt sad.

Then, he followed Himuro Gentoku's gaze and looked at the Pandora's Box stored in the center of the Touto Advanced Material Research Institute.

After a moment, Shiraishi replied, "I understand. As a researcher who is good at [disassembly] and [analysis], I will deliver the research report on Pandora's Box to Mr. Himuro's desk as soon as possible."

After hearing Shiraishi's answer, Himuro Gentoku nodded with satisfaction.

Then, Himuro Gentoku spoke again: "It is gratifying that Shiraishi-kun can understand what is righteousness.

"But having said that, I can't force you to devote yourself to research work when you are not in high spirits now.

"You are late today, probably because you are thinking about Katsuragi-kun, right?"

"In that case, why not do something else today to change your mood.

"Today, a reporter will come to interview the Touto Advanced Materials Research Institute. As a representative of the researchers in the institute, you will join me in the interview."

Then, Himuro Gentoku tilted his head slightly, motioning Shiraishi to follow him.

Shiraishi hesitated for a moment and followed.

......

After seeing the reporter, Shiraishi also showed an expression of "as expected".

Although it has been a long time since Shiraishi watched "Kamen Rider Build", and he has forgotten many details of the plot, he still has some impressions of the appearance of the main characters.

And the reporter in front of him is one of them.

Takigawa Sayo.

Takigawa Sayo, on the surface, is a freelance reporter, but in fact, she is a spy trained by Nanba Heavy Industries. In the end, she chose to betray Nanba because she felt the warmth and became a helper of Kiryu Battle Rabbit.

Her first appearance in the story was as a reporter interviewing the Touto Advanced Materials Research Institute.

004-The gears of fate began to turn

At the Touto Advanced Materials Research Institute, on a platform on the second floor, Takigawa Sayo was interviewing the director of the Touto Advanced Materials Research Institute, Himuro Gentoku, and researcher Shiraishi.

At the same time, as Himuro Gentoku's secretary, Utsumi Naruaki was standing beside them.

Utsumi Naruaki, one of the most popular characters in "Kamen Rider Build".

Even if many people have not really watched the drama "Kamen Rider Build", they have seen [curve save.jpg][crutch.gif][pledge of allegiance.gif].

It can be said that Utsumi's pledge of allegiance is one of the most well-known special effects scenes.

And such a character actually appeared in the Touto Advanced Materials Research Institute very early.

He is actually one of the spies of Nanba Heavy Industries.

The interview was progressing normally, but it was actually Himuro Gentoku who mainly answered the questions. Shiraishi would only give some simple technical introductions sometimes, and Utsumi Naruaki would help Himuro Gentoku with some simple prompts.

"Ten years ago, our country's deep space probe landed on Mars for the first time, and discovered the mysterious Pandora's Box there and brought it back to Earth." As the director of the Touto Advanced Materials Research Institute, Himuro Gentoku looked at the sky and introduced the basic situation of the Touto Advanced Materials Research Institute to Takigawa Sayo.

"And that was the beginning of the nightmare," Himuro Gentoku retracted his gaze to the sky and motioned Takigawa Sayo to look at the sky wall clearly visible outside the window of the Touto Advanced Materials Research Institute. He said: "During the return ceremony of the Mars probe, the tragedy of the sky wall followed."

Ten years ago, the tragedy happened at the center of the wall, and everything started from there.

Himuro Gentoku let out a long sigh and explained: "During the return ceremony of the Mars probe, Pandora's Box was activated, and it emitted a mysterious light. After that, a huge wall now known as the Sky Wall appeared.

"The huge Sky Wall separated the entire country, forming the current situation of the North Capital, West Capital, and East Capital, which also caused some changes in the world situation."
