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

Shiraishi nodded.

Then, Shiraishi spread his hands and explained: "If you want to get more detailed information about the thief, you may need to ask Director Himuro in person. Even I don't have any information related to it."

Kiryu Battle Rabbit nodded slightly.

But he didn't plan to ask.

If nothing unexpected happens, the so-called thief who stole the Pandora's panel should be Manager Ishido, that is, Blood Stalk.

Then, at least the direction of one of the outer panels of Pandora's Box can be roughly clear.

In short: Staying in the Toudou Advanced Material Research Institute → Stolen by Blood Stalk → What was used by Kiryu Battle Rabbit during Faust → Used to help Kamen Rider Build during the Nascita Cafe.

As for the other panels, they were probably used for other things during Faust.

It is not clear at present.

In this way, the Toudou Advanced Material Research Institute is likely to have been infiltrated by Faust. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Manager Ishido to steal the Pandora's Box panel from here so easily.

——Even Blood Stalk has to pay a certain price to keep moving forward when facing a large number of security robots.

If we follow this logic...

After that, the incident related to the theft of the Pandora's Box panel was blocked by Himuro Gentoku and Prime Minister Himuro Taizan.

Although it was said to avoid causing unnecessary panic, even a researcher like Shiraishi who deeply studied Pandora's Box did not know the details of the theft. Isn't it too confidential?

So does it mean...

Thinking of this, Kiryu Sento also placed his suspicion on the director of the institute, Himuro Gentoku.

Is he a member of Faust?

Kiryu Sento frowned slightly.

Shiraishi, who was able to listen to Kiryu Sento's voice, was very satisfied.

Under his guidance, Kiryu Sento began to doubt Himuro Gentoku.

A pretty good start.

Kiryu Sento sighed deeply.

Then the next things to do are probably these few things-

First, find the past of Manager Ishido.

If Manager Ishido's past resume can be obtained, then even if it is a forged resume, it can provide Kiryu Sento with many references.

This is likely to help Kiryu Sento figure out how Manager Ishido stole Pandora's Box and how the Toudou Advanced Materials Research Institute was infiltrated.

Second, confirm the situation of Himuro Gentoku.

Since Himuro Gentoku is now likely to be a member of Faust, it is very necessary to confirm his past actions and resume.

In this case, maybe even Kiryu Sento's interview at the Toudou Advanced Materials Research Institute is part of Faust's plan?

Third, confirm the person who activated the Sky Wall.

The person who activated Pandora's Box is likely to know the power of Pandora's Box. If he can be found, perhaps more information can be obtained.

Or maybe, the person who must activate Pandora's Box is actually the culprit.

At this moment, Shiraishi's cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting Kiryu Sento's thoughts.

Shiraishi looked down at his cell phone.

And Kiryu Sento also looked over.

Caller: Himuro Gentoku.

067-Suspect: Shiraishi

Toudou Hot Spring Hotel.

Banquet hall.

Himuro Gentoku sat quietly in the corner of the banquet hall, his cell phone in his hand was dialing the number of researcher Shiraishi.

And right in front of Himuro Gentoku, Blood Stalk was sitting there at the moment - Blood Stalk put his legs on the table, his hands behind his head, and seemed very comfortable.

Not long after, the call of researcher Shiraishi was connected.

In his usual oppressive voice, Himuro Gentoku asked, "Is this Researcher Shiraishi? There is something very important about a business that the Dongdu Advanced Material Research Institute is in contact with an external organization, and you need to personally solve it.

"It is related to the further development of the research project of the Dongdu Advanced Material Research Institute. Researchers of your level need to personally talk to the cadres of the external organization and exchange technical details with them."

While speaking, Himuro Gentoku also looked at Blood Stalk, and Blood Stalk nodded with great satisfaction.

The so-called [external organization] and [cadres] mentioned by Himuro Gentoku refer to Faust's Blood Stalk.

For some reason...

Now, he wants to invite Shiraishi to join Faust.

After a while, the voice of Researcher Shiraishi came from the other end of the call: "I understand the general situation. May I ask when and where the meeting is? What kind of materials do I need to prepare? "

Himuro Gento looked at Blood Stalk and said slowly: "The location is the banquet hall on the fourth floor of the Dongdu Hot Spring Hotel in the C5 area, and the time is set for today. The sooner you get here, the sooner our talks can begin.

"As for the materials to be prepared...

"Aren't you studying the Sky Wall recently?

"The cadres of that organization are slightly interested in the Sky Wall. If you have any results from your research on the Sky Wall, you can bring them with you. If there are no research results for the time being, then as long as you show up here, it will be fine."

After a while, Shiraishi on the other side of the call also responded. He said, "I understand. After making some simple preparations, I will leave immediately."

The communication was disconnected.

Himuro Gentoku sat on the chair honestly. He looked at Blood Stalk and asked: "Faust so far has still followed Katsuragi-kun's last wish and has not invited Researcher Shiraishi to join.

"Now, Blood Stalk, you are going to break Katsuragi-kun's last wish and invite Shiraishi to join. I need a reason."

Blood Stalk just shook his head and said in a very helpless tone: "Of course I can completely understand Katsuragi-kun's wish - no matter what the original starting point is, Faust is a man walking in the darkness after all. organize.

"Therefore, Katsuragi-kun doesn't want his friends to fall into darkness like him, and Katsuragi-kun wants to bear everything alone. I fully understand these things."

Blood Stalk spread his hands and explained: "However, we must re-examine the current situation of Faust, Mr. Huande.

"After Katsuragi-kun left, Faust's scientific research speed plummeted. Not to mention how to advance the subsequent development of the Knight System, even the experiments on nebula gas have not made breakthrough progress for a long time.

"Jun Huande...

"If this continues, how are you going to achieve great righteousness?

"If you don't have power, you can't do anything."

Then, Blood Stalk also put down his legs. He stood up again and looked out at the outside scenery from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the banquet hall. He said, "Furthermore, since Shiraishi-kun is Katsuragi-kun's best friend, then he should be able to understand Katsuragi-kun." Right?

"Don't you think so?

"Let Shiraishi-kun know everything Katsuragi-kun has done for him, and let Shiraishi-kun inherit Katsuragi-kun's will and join Faust. This is the most respectful choice for Shiraishi-kun, isn't it?"

Himuro Handoku sat in silence for a long time on his chair. After a moment, he finally nodded slowly: "I understand."

I have to say, Blood Stalk’s words are very convincing.

Blood Stalk nodded with satisfaction.

Of course, his purpose was not to invite Researcher Shiraishi to join Faust at all.

As one of the supporters of Kamen Rider Build, he clearly understood that Shiraishi, who had also become a supporter of Kamen Rider Build, would never join Faust.

But Himuro Gentoku didn't know that Wanzhang Ryuuga's charged gloves were made by Shiraishi-kun, and he didn't know that Researcher Shiraishi was now a member of the Build team.

Therefore, it is still possible to use this reason to deceive Himuro Gentoku.

While Blood Stalk pretended to invite Shiraishi to join Faust, what it really wanted to do was to verify Shiraishi's identity.

Whether he is with Himuro Gentoku, the director of the Toto Advanced Materials Research Institute, or with Kamen Rider Build Kiryu Sento at Nascita Cafe, Shiraishi-kun is always there.

Coupled with previous news leaks...

It's hard not to doubt Shiraishi in Blood Stalk.

Therefore, Blood Stalk decided to first confirm the identity of this Shiraishi-kun.

Could it be that he is Huang Jinqing who is good at disguising?

Or, will he be Huang Jinqing's spy?

Now that almost everything in the plan has been arranged, the next step is to wait for Researcher Shiraishi to take the bait.

Then, Blood Stalk turned to Himuro Hentoku and said: "Handoku-kun, now, I would like to trouble you to leave the banquet hall for the time being - in this way, even if Shiraishi-kun and I do not reach an agreement, Hentoku will not be exposed. Jun, you are actually a member of Faust.

"And in this way, even if you return to the Eastern Capital Advanced Materials Research Institute, Shiraishi-kun can continue to work for you with peace of mind without causing too much psychological burden."

Himuro Handoku didn't answer. He just grabbed the smoke gun placed on the table and walked out of the banquet hall alone.

And just after Himuro Hantoku left, from the corner of the room, a slugger with a square head slowly walked out. His right hand held a special equipment that looked like a cutting tool and a pen, and he His left hand has a tubular structure like a colored pen, with different lengths.

Block Smasher, here we go.

Blood Stalk showed a satisfied smile.

Let's use the Cube Smasher to test Researcher Shiraishi.

And the method is also very simple.

Just have the Cube Slammer attack Shiraishi-kun and then confirm Shiraishi-kun's reaction.

If Shiraishi-kun is Huang Jinqing, then he will naturally show the posture of Huang Jinqing when he is attacked.

If Lord Baishi is Huang Jinqing's spy, then he will most likely call Huang Jinqing to save him.

In this way, Shiraishi-kun's identity can be confirmed.

And if none of the above...

Then Blood Stalk must admit that the hidden depth of Huang Jinqing's intelligence network is deeper than he imagined.

068-Going to the meeting alone...?

Tokyo Institute of Advanced Materials.

Pandora's Box Research Group.

After hanging up the communication, Shiraishi frowned slightly. He sat quietly at his work station and tapped his cheek gently with his fingers, as if thinking about something.

Kiryu Zhantu looked at Shiraishi's action, and for some reason, he remembered Huang Jinqing's action of tapping the golden mask with his fingers.

[Could it be that Researcher Shiraishi is really...]

Then, Kiryu Zhantu came to Shiraishi. He sat down next to Shiraishi, and then asked: "It's Director Himuro's call. I wonder what he wants Researcher Shiraishi to do when he contacts Researcher Shiraishi?"

Shiraishi put down his hand, looked at Kiryu Sento, and then explained: "The Toto Institute of Advanced Materials and external organizations are discussing cooperation, and Director Himuro hopes that I can attend the meeting as a representative of scientific researchers.

"After all, after Katsuragi-kun passed away, I was the only senior researcher at the Toto Advanced Materials Research Institute.

"He probably hopes that when the Dongdu Institute of Advanced Materials is discussing cooperation with external organizations, I will showcase the institute's scientific and technological achievements, so as to gain more say in the event."

After hearing Shiraishi's words, Kiryu Zhantu also frowned slightly.

【Director Himuro...】

However, just as Kiryu Zhantu was murmuring in his heart, Shiraishi had already made a decision - he began to pack up the things at his workstation, preparing to bring a laptop computer that could display some of his scientific research results.

Kiryu Zhantu hesitated for a moment, but he finally raised his head and looked at Shiraishi. He said, "Shiraishi-kun, although the reasoning process is a little complicated and I can't explain it clearly at the moment, but please believe me, based on the information I got. "Director Himuro is probably also a member of Faust."

After hearing Kiryu Zhantu's words, Shiraishi packed his things a little slower.

At this moment, Kiryu Zhantu also stood up, and he asked: "Researcher Shiraishi, where is the place in the Eastern Capital that Director Himuro agreed with you?"

Shiraishi turned around: "What are you going to do?"

Kiryu Sento smiled and shook the Build Driver he was holding at Shiraishi. He explained: "If Director Himuro is indeed a member of Faust, then this time I invite researcher Shiraishi to talk. Cooperation is likely to be a trap.

"As Kamen Rider Build, I naturally have to determine whether it is Faust's conspiracy and make some simple preparations for it.

"After all, even if Researcher Shiraishi becomes a supporter of Kamen Rider Build, he is still a member of the citizens of Toto, and he is also someone whom Kamen Rider Build should protect."

[Although Kiryu Sento was also curious about whether Shiraishi was Huang Jinqing, he still decided to give priority to ensuring the safety of this talented chemist and materials scientist who could rarely get along with him in the field of Japanese technology. 】
