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

Although the equipment that has been developed and some of the information that Faust has mastered cannot be erased, he still left more possibilities to Shiraishi.

So far, Shiraishi, as a researcher, knows a lot about the disappearance of Katsuragi Takumi, and also knows the existence of the Knight System and the enemy.

However, because Katsuragi Takumi's preparations were relatively hasty, Shiraishi did not get enough information from it.

Moreover, more information in the database also requires enough keywords to be accessed.

Therefore, Shiraishi can only use some of the research data left by Katsuragi Takumi to make Gotchar Driver that can transform into the Golden Lord, and then as the Golden Lord, he fights to gather power and intelligence at the same time.

Holding the USB in his hand, Shiraishi also felt the weight contained in it.

It not only contains the database composed of various research materials left by Katsuragi Shinobu and Katsuragi Takumi...

It also contains the trust that the genius scientist Katsuragi Takumi decided to entrust to Shiraishi, his close friend.

Although those may be just false memories, Shiraishi understands that Katsuragi Takumi's trust in researcher Shiraishi is absolutely genuine.

After all, the USB flash drive was originally supposed to be entrusted to Katsuragi Takumi's relatives and Katsuragi Takumi's mother.

And now, it is in Shiraishi's hands.

Even though it is very likely that it is just a false memory constructed by Lust, Shiraishi still decides to respond to Katsuragi Takumi's trust.

The reason is also very old-fashioned.

Shiraishi believes that Katsuragi Takumi is worthy.

And...

It must be said that Lust's method is very clever.

After the memories emerged, Shiraishi also naturally felt sorry for Katsuragi Takumi's death.

He couldn't even tell whether it was his emotion as a time traveler, or the emotion caused by the so-called memory of researcher Shiraishi.

But, no matter what.

He is willing to follow this emotion and respond to Katsuragi Takumi's trust and expectations.

At the same time, Pride's words sounded.

【Kiryu Sento's words made Shiraishi realize that something was wrong. He returned to his house and confirmed the information left by his close friend Katsuragi Takumi. 】

【How could they be so similar? 】

【How could Kiryu Sento's life trajectory be so similar to Katsuragi Takumi? 】

【Researcher Shiraishi had a vague guess in his heart, but like Kiryu Sento, he lacked decisive evidence. 】

After hearing the words that Pride recited in his mind, Shiraishi sighed deeply.

In this way, perhaps, Kiryu Sento will soon know the truth about his identity and fate.

Shiraishi carried the USB flash drive with everything on his body. Now that he can transform into the Golden Lord, it is much safer to carry it with him than to hide it.

After confirming the guess in his memory, Shiraishi left the Shiraishi residence again.

He returned to Nascita.

065-Manager Ishido

The next morning.

Nascita Café.

After a good rest, Kiryu Sento and Shiraishi appeared in the lobby of Nascita Café at the same time. They were making their own preparations and were about to ride their motorcycles to the Toudou Advanced Material Research Institute.

It is worth mentioning that with the joint efforts of Shiraishi and Kiryu Sento, Kamen Rider Build's motorcycle, the mechanical creator, was finally transformed and had a further transformation module.

In addition to the original function of being able to convert between mobile phones and motorcycles with the power of the full bottle, there are also Kiryu Sento mode and Kamen Rider Build mode in the motorcycle mode.

As the name suggests, it is the ordinary motorcycle mode for researcher Kiryu Sento, and the special combat motorcycle mode for Kamen Rider Build.

The appearance of the former is an ordinary Honda XR 230, while the latter is equipped with gears and full bottle structures that can be used for combat.

Just when Kiryu Sento and Shiraishi were about to set off, the door of Nascita opened.

Manager Ishido, who had not returned all night, also returned to Nascita Café after dawn.

"Bonjour! Mr. Sento, and Mr. Shiraishi who can appreciate my coffee art!" Manager Ishido, wearing a hat, pushed the door open and greeted the two people who were about to leave for the Toudou Advanced Materials Research Institute.

"Manager." Shiraishi nodded slightly, as a response to Manager Ishido.

But Kiryu Sento turned around quietly. He sat next to the bar, holding a can of coffee in his hand. He deliberately concealed his expression and responded: "Speaking of which, the manager is really busy. Obviously, Nascita Café is the main business, but he did not return all night last night for a part-time job."

Kiryu Sento tried.

Even though Kiryu Sento has gradually convinced himself of his speculation, he is still a little reluctant to face Manager Ishido before he has decisive evidence.

The manager's enthusiasm made him feel a little guilty for his suspicion.

Store manager Shi Dong clasped his hands together and bent slightly: "Sorry, I'm sorry, it was because there was a big problem at my part-time job yesterday, so I had to stay up late to check the overall situation~

"But fortunately, after the final inspection results came out, it turned out that there were no major problems with our business. It was just that the customer was a little exaggerated and bluffing. I hope we can make some concessions on price~

"Now the matter has been resolved, so I will come back this morning."

Kiryu Zhantu looked at the can of coffee in his hand and said again: "Speaking of which, store manager, you always talk about working part-time. I still don't know what your part-time job is."

Kiryu Zhantu tried to find a loophole.

After hearing Kiryu Zhantu's words, the store manager Ishidou fell into a simple silence.

The atmosphere in Nascita Cafe became tense.

Manager Shi Dong walked to the bar in silence, then he took a can of coffee beans out of his pocket and placed it on the bar.

Then, the store manager Shi Dong said with a slightly exaggerated seriousness: "In a sense, my part-time job is actually a key job related to whether Nascita Cafe can continue to operate——

“Coffee beans!

"Ever since I learned that Mr. Shiraishi can appreciate my coffee art, I have understood that it is not actually my coffee art that has a problem, but that there is a major problem with the coffee beans that carry my coffee art.

"Only people like Mr. Shiraishi who know how to appreciate the art of coffee can taste the real art of coffee from the charred remains."

After hearing this, Kiryu Zhantu finally couldn't help complaining: "Hey, did you just say such a terrible thing as [blackened wreckage] in an understatement?!

“Even coffee that has been roasted for the longest time wouldn’t be called [blackened remains], right?

"Store manager, what did you give Shiraishi-kun to drink?!

"There's something wrong with your coffee art, isn't it?!"

However, store manager Shi Dong was unmoved. He continued to explain seriously: "So, if you want to continue running Nascita Cafe, if you want to present my coffee art to more people. .....

“I have to carefully select coffee beans and find coffee beans that can withstand my coffee art.

"Zhantu-kun, this is my part-time job."

After hearing the half-serious and half-joking explanation from the store manager, Kiryu Zhantu could only shake his head helplessly. Now it seemed that he might not be able to find out anything from the store manager.

So, Kiryu Sento had no choice but to stand up, and he said to the store manager Shidou: "Mikora is a little sleepy because of the full bottle of purifying ninja, and she is still resting now. I will ask you, store manager, to take care of her.

“Researcher Shiraishi and I need to go to the Toto Advanced Materials Research Institute, at least to do some simple work that needs to be done.

"If a Smasher appears, remember to notify me. I will appear at the Smasher event as Kamen Rider Build as soon as possible."

Store manager Shi Dong nodded. He adjusted his hat a little, and then said, "Well, speaking of which, I was a little tired after checking the coffee beans all night. It just so happened that it was time for me to take a rest." .

"Ciao~Zhantu-kun, Shiraishi-kun, I wish you a safe arrival at the Eastern Capital Advanced Materials Research Institute~"

After Kiryu Sento gave a simple response, he and Shiraishi walked out of Nascita Cafe.

Looking at the retreating figures of Kiryu Sento and Shiraishi, the smile of store manager Shido gradually cooled down.

The shadow of Blood Stalk appeared next to the store manager Shi Dong, and Evolt began to have an inner dialogue with himself.

Manager Shi Dong took off his glasses and looked at the retreating figure with sharp eyes, while Blood Stalk sat quietly on the bar and looked at the secret passage of the refrigerator leading to Nascita's basement.

"After leaving, did Huang Jinqing explain anything to Kiryu Zhantu? Today's Kiryu Zhantu seems to be in a slightly different mood than before." Manager Shi Dong murmured in his heart.

However, Blood Stalk shook his head and said to himself: "No, there is no need to worry about Kiryu Zhantu's mood for the time being - as long as he cooperates with Ishidomi Misora ​​to expose the first truth when necessary, he can probably stabilize this situation." A false hero.

"My father concealed his identity in order to save Ishidomi Misora. With such an identity, I can still convince Kiryu Sento.

"What needs to be concerned about now is the issue of intelligence leakage...

“Since there are no problems within Faust, there are only two sources of intelligence leakage.

“First, there was a spy from King Huang in the Nascita Café’s Build team—either Saha Takigawa or Researcher Shiraishi.

"Second...

"Night Rogue, no, over there, where Hamuro Hantoku is, at the Eastern Capital Advanced Materials Research Institute, or in other words, in the Eastern Capital Government, there is a spy driven by the Prime Minister around the Prime Minister.

"It is also very important to verify the depth of Huang Jinqing's intelligence network."

066-Suspect: Himuro Gentoku

Tokyo Institute of Advanced Materials.

Pandora's Box Research Group.

After arriving at his work station, Kiryu Zhantu looked at the experimental tools in front of him and was silent for a moment. He simply organized his thoughts, and then began to make a large jar that could extract the ingredients of Pandora's Box.

Kiryu Sento looked at the tool in front of him and said slowly: "Since Researcher Shiraishi is the leader of the Pandora's Box research team at the Toto Advanced Materials Research Institute, he should also know the information related to the shell of Pandora's Box." ?”

Kiryu Sentu glanced at Shiraishi.

Baishi, who was sitting at his workstation, was stunned for a moment.

Although Shiraishi already knew that Kiryu Sento would start investigating matters related to Pandora's Box as Huang Jinqing, he did not expect that Kiryu Sento would ask him directly without any hesitation.

Shiraishi smiled.

In this way, in a sense, Kiryu Sento did trust Shiraishi as his companion.

He learned to rely on the strength of his companions.

Seeing Shiraishi's stunned expression and smiling, Kiryu Zhantu roughly knew the answer. He turned his seat around and looked at Shiraishi: "So, my guess is indeed correct...

“Pandora’s box does have a shell.

"Sure enough, I am a genius~"

Seeing Kiryu Zhantu's intoxicated appearance, Shiraishi shook his head helplessly, and he answered: "As expected of a genius physicist, it was only the first time he read the information related to Pandora's Box, and he actually figured it out right away. Pandora’s box has a two-layer structure.”

But Kiryu Zhantu shook his head slightly and said: "The conclusion is not actually drawn from the research data on Pandora's Box, but because I came into contact with some other clues as a Build...

“Well, let’s not talk about this anymore.

"Researcher Shiraishi, since you know the information about the shell of Pandora's Box, can you explain to me what you know?"

Shiraishi pondered for a moment, then he recalled and explained: "Things related to the outer structure of Pandora's Box are theoretically the top secrets of the Tokyo Advanced Materials Research Institute and even the Tokyo government.

"Except for those involved in the return ceremony of the Mars probe who witnessed the outer structure of Pandora's Box falling off, in the current Toto Institute of Advanced Materials, there are actually only Director Himuro Gentoku and Director's Secretary Shigeaki Uchimi. , and I, who have done in-depth research and understanding of Pandora’s Box, know this.

"In fact, the only one who really knows everything is Director Himuro."

Shiraishi let out a long sigh and continued to explain: "The first time people confirmed the existence of the outer structure of Pandora's Box was during the Mars probe return ceremony ten years ago.

"At that time, it was said that someone activated Pandora's Box, and that force created the sky wall that split the earth. In the process, part of the outer panel of Pandora's Box detached.

“But because it’s so old, I haven’t come across any actual evidence.

“Even this conclusion was made by me on the sidelines and from the director.

"About three years ago, when Katsuragi-kun was still working with me, a major safety incident occurred at the Toto Advanced Materials Research Institute.

"A certain thief not only successfully bypassed the security of the Tokyo Advanced Materials Research Institute, but also finally stole the outer panel of Pandora's Box.

"Because Katsuragi-kun was leading the research on Pandora's Box at the time, and the administrative affairs of the institute were generally handled by Director Himuro Gentoku, so I actually didn't know anything more about the theft of Pandora's Box panels. detail.

"I only know that later, in order to prevent the information about the incomplete structure of Pandora's Box from causing turmoil, Director Himuro, who was the Prime Minister's Assistant, and Prime Minister Taizan Himuro, after discussions, formulated a policy to double-layer the Pandora's Box structure and the outer layer. The paneling was classified.

"And when I heard the topic related to it again, it was you, Researcher Kiryu, who brought it up."

And Kiryu Zhantu also immediately caught the key words in Shiraishi's words: "Thief?"
