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

Ishidomi Misora ​​and Ogura Kasumi were sitting on the bed in the basement of Nascita Cafe, chatting.

Ogura Kasumi shared her love experience with Ryuuga Ishidomi to Ishidomi Misora, and Ishidomi Misora ​​shared some interesting things related to Kamen Rider Build after being fed a mouthful of dog food.

Reporter Ms. Sayu Takigawa left Nascita Cafe again after regrouping. She bet her dignity as a reporter and this time she must investigate useful information related to Nabeshima.

Because Wanzhanglong is more concerned about the issue of settling Kasumi, the Build team is not in a hurry to investigate Nabeshima and the people behind Nabeshima.

Therefore, it is not too late to proceed step by step and wait until Ms. Takigawa Sayu gets enough detailed information to take action.

Ishidomi Misora ​​hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not tell Miss Takigawa Sayu that as an Internet idol, she actually had another set of intelligence networks that could help Kamen Rider Build.

After making the last cup of coffee for Shiraishi, store manager Shi Dong temporarily left the Nascita Cafe on the grounds that he still had a part-time job outside the home.

And because the coffee made by the manager Shi Dong is really bad to a certain extent, no one in the Nascita Cafe even cares about the fact that the manager Shi Dong needs to go out to work part-time to make money despite running a cafe. There are objections.

Although it sounds outrageous, once you consider that it is the coffee made by the manager Shi Dong, everything becomes normal.

That's the store manager's coffee.jpg

With such terrible coffee, it would be a real hell if store manager Shi Dong could really rely on the normal operation of Nascita Cafe to make a profit.

After a while, a temporary prototype of the identification module jamming device was produced.

Kiryu Sento picked up the Build Driver and interference device, and prepared to escort Ryuuga Wanzhang and Kasumi Ogura to Shiraishi's residence.

In order to ensure the safety of the two of them, Kamen Rider Build prepared to take a personal trip.

Looking at the backs of the three people leaving, Shiraishi also let out a long sigh. He yawned, then borrowed the right to use the bed from Ishidomi Misora, and then lay on the bed in the basement of Nascita Cafe.

He was so tired.

Shiraishi hasn't rested since last night.

He first spent the whole night making rechargeable gloves that allowed Wan Zhang Long Wo to participate in the battle, and then appeared on the battlefield in the form of Huang Jinqing. Finally, he entered a state of gold madness that went berserk and out of control, using up all the energy. energy.

Even so, he came to Nascita to bring the incident to a final conclusion.

Shiraishi's ability to open his eyes until now was entirely dependent on countless canned coffee and the unusually strong black hole coffee.

And now, he can finally take a good rest.

Closing his eyes, Shiraishi's consciousness slowly sank.

...

As if sinking continuously into the deep sea, everything around him gradually dims, but at a certain moment, the boundless darkness is reversed in an instant, and everything around him turns into boundless white, fully resting the soul. Wake up slowly.

Shiraishi opened his eyes.

He was back where he started.

The space where you meet the black shadow.

Before Shiraishi could do anything, a black shadow not far away came towards Shiraishi's direction.

Sound of applause.

"Amazing performance, Shiraishi." Black Shadow's voice is still so familiar, overlapping layers and twisting and changing.

But this time, Heiying's mood didn't seem as indifferent as when he first met Shiraishi, and he didn't appear in front of Shiraishi with an attitude of indifference to human beings like when he first met Shiraishi.

He seems to have taken a lot of initiative.

He seemed to be a different person.

The black shadow seemed to have seen through Shiraishi's thoughts. He came to Shiraishi's side. He patted Shiraishi's shoulder and looked closely at Shiraishi's dark face that seemed to have no details and was painted with a very hard pencil. With white stone.

The black shadow spoke slowly: "As a reward for pleasing me, I will tell you some of my secrets, Shiraishi.

"Yes, that's right, as you speculated, the person standing in front of you now is not the same individual as the person standing in front of you before, but two completely different gods.

“Unlike my colleagues who like to hide themselves away and then use a framework to constrain the direction of the performance, I sincerely appreciate improvisation and crazy interpretations outside the framework, and I love to talk to people who perform exquisite interpretations.

"What I admire even more is Shiraishi, a person who tries to gather his own power during the performance, and will raise a sword of rebellion against the gods after the play is over, an existence that defies fate.

"It's wonderful.

"If you find that all your efforts are in vain, and you think you are strong enough, but you find that you are still as weak as an ant, what expression will you make?"

The black shadow slowly let go of Bai Shi, took a few steps away, and then looked at Bai Shi up and down again.

Then, the black shadow said: "Ah, sorry, after talking for so long, it seems that I haven't introduced myself yet.

"You can call me [Pride].

"That is, [arrogance]"

Although he said sorry, there was no apology in His words.

04

After hearing the words of the black shadow who called himself [Pride], many speculations suddenly appeared in Shiraishi's mind.

Pride, arrogance...

Named after the clichéd Seven Deadly Sins?

Isn't it a bit outdated?

At the same time, Shiraishi was also silently checking his current situation to see how much strength he still had left.

However, before Shiraishi could do anything, Pride's words sounded again: "Don't be too nervous, Shiraishi, although the place you are now looks very similar to the scene when you met [Lust], in fact it is Different.

"When you meet Lust, you are actually in his [domain], so everything about you is under his control, and he can modify your power, your memory, and everything else at will.

"And now, you have come to the [stage] - our encounter was in the [dream scene] - even for a being like me, it is difficult to [exercise power on you across the world" Interference], and an ant like you, let alone try to mobilize the power given to you by Lust.

“It’s not even your own strength.

“So don’t worry that we’re going to fight right here right now—the moment you raise your sword of rebellion against God will be after the story ends.

"Or, after the story ends, I will let you start the next story out of arrogance, so that you can continue to accumulate strength.

"Don't worry, I'm very arrogant."

Listening to Pride's words, Shiraishi gradually understood that the name of the black shadow he first encountered should be Lust.

Pride snapped his fingers.

Single sofas appeared behind Shiraishi and Pride.

Pride sat down slowly, half lying on the sofa, and then said to Shiraishi in a relatively casual tone: "I know you have a lot of speculations, it doesn't matter, sit down and chat, I will answer them one by one for you, just treat it as I’ll pay you in advance for your wonderful performance.”

Shiraishi sat down slowly.

Pride crossed his legs, looked at Shiraishi with his hands crossed, and then said: "First of all, Shiraishi, you must really want to find out what Lust's so-called desire for pleasure is, right?

"After all, my colleagues like to make things mysterious and must use vague and unclear language to attract people's imagination.

"Why did He send you to the world of "Kamen Rider Build"? Why did He add that kind of personality to you? Why did He instill that kind of memory into you, but didn't erase your original memory?"

Shiraishi didn't answer.

But Pride didn't care about this, he just said to himself: "Actually, the answer is very simple.

"Lust can draw strength from that.

"Or, yes, in fact, as you guessed, [we] can all draw strength from the corresponding concepts."

Pride gently shook his raised calves and explained: "The first thing to explain is that Lust does not only draw strength from physical relationships. In the process of his continuous growth, everything related to love, Even any relationship that is close enough can provide Lust with strength.

“Therefore, He gave you [Katsuragi Takumi’s best friend] [disassembly and analysis corresponding to creation and composition] with such a purposeful character, so that every action you perform on the stage is full of ambiguity.

"The interaction between Shiraishi and Kiryu Sento is like "meeting again after missing it", and the battle between Huang Jinqing and Kamen Rider Build is even more like "loved ones who don't know their true identity are fighting each other wearing masks" - such an interpretation, For Lust, it is extremely delicious.

"And if Shiraishi, who has retained all his memories, gradually develops sincere emotions due to false interpretations, then for Lust, this will be the ultimate delicacy.

"It's fake and real, what a Lust plot!

"And this is one of the reasons why Lust hopes that you can strictly abide by the character set by him.

"And, yes, as you might have guessed, Lust actually loves Inoue-esque storylines.

“Because that makes Him stronger.

"And His purpose is also obvious. He wants to use you to gain greater power - of course, I, who has now taken over His position, are no exception.

"And [the reason for thirsting for power]...

“Just put it aside for now.

“When the time is right, I will tell you.

"Or, as I gradually solve your doubts, you will be able to get enough information to piece together the truth behind the conspiracy."

Then, Pride held out two fingers, and then He said: "Next, let's discuss the second topic.

“When did things start to change?

"When did Pride take over from Lust?"

Pride lay on the sofa and said, "Actually, this is not achieved overnight, but a staged process."

After a short pause, Pride explained: "Actually, after you used the power of Jin Qing to ingest Evolt's genes, Lust became unhappy.

"Because the perfect relationship between Shiraishi and Kiryu Sento, Golden Lord and Kamen Rider Build was destroyed.

"Moreover, you who have absorbed Evolt's genes can also be immune to the emotions imposed by Lust to a certain extent.

"This makes it difficult for Lust to unfold his script.

"And you also saw that from then on, He would no longer reward you for your exquisite performance.

"Because you have left His script, which made Him dissatisfied.

"However, Lust did not give up completely at this time. After all, it is not a simple matter to send Shiraishi to the world outside the [wall]. Even if he cannot perform an exquisite plot with Kiryu Sento, he can consider other people a little.

"He has to consider the sunk cost.

"However, at this time, I came on stage."

Pride spread his hands and explained: "After the negotiation and the exchange of interests, the Shiraishi sent by Lust is no longer His property, but mine.

"I took over you almost at the time when you helped Manjo Ryuu save Ogura Kasumi.

"I applaud you for your wonderful performance."

Then, Pride held up three fingers and said, "Next, it's the third topic, I think this may be one of the topics you care about most.

"What kind of power can the black shadow who claims to be a god exert in the world of Kamen Rider?

"Can Shiraishi, who constantly collects power from the world of Kamen Rider, finally get rid of the control of the black shadow one day?"

050-Golden Madness

Then, Pride stood up and said, "In fact, the answer is very simple, you also noticed it.

"Yes, the black shadow who claims to be a god can hardly exert power in the world outside the [wall]-Lust can only be like a poor clown, relying on the power infused into Shiraishi to directly affect Shiraishi's actions.

"After Shiraishi gradually realized this, Lust was more like a clown, and when Shiraishi tried to strip away the power from the black shadow, he was embarrassed and nervous to stop him.

"Then the matter is very clear.

"As long as you can completely eliminate the power given by the black shadow who claims to be a god, as long as you can become strong enough, Bai Shi, you can definitely get rid of the control of the black shadow.

"There are basically two things to do, Bai Shi.

"First, you must completely abandon the power that Lust has infused into your body - whether it is the power of the Golden Lord or the knowledge of alchemy, those powers are actually hidden in your body, and the cards are just a form of activating them.

"You need to peel them off to get out of control.

"And after that, you can also master alchemy again by relearning, and you can also become the Golden Lord again with your own strength.

"Your own power will not be controlled.

"To be honest, I hope you do this.

"Because I quite like the appearance of the Golden Lord.

"Second, you must have enough power.

"It is not enough to just give up power.
