Kamen Rider: Prince of Shadow

call·······

The gentle breeze blew across Nobuhiko's face. He leaned on the motorcycle and looked at the eye-catching windmill tower in the distance.

Fengdu, like the name of the city, has the iconic Fengdu Tower with a huge windmill. Similarly, the streets and alleys of this city seem to be blowing by a gentle breeze all the time.

And wind happens to be an element closely related to Kamen Rider.

The first part of the new decade is, in a sense, a return to the starting point.

Nobuhiko, who arrived here for the first time, also enjoyed the comfortable breeze, which relieved his somewhat complicated mood - he met Kyoko at Kotaro's family dinner not long ago. The originally young girl had also graduated from college, and now Return to China for development.

Although he had already talked about it, it was a little difficult for Nobuhiko to show his past intimacy in front of Uncle Sahara and others, but fortunately he excused himself with the excuse of not seeing each other for a long time.

But what Nobuhiko didn't expect was that after finishing the meal, Kyoko found him alone and made a request:

"Although it's a bit early now, I hope you can attend my wedding."

"wedding?"

"Well, although I haven't met the right person yet, I hope that on that day, you can send me to the venue as a brother."

"...I understand, leave it to me. I will arrive on time on that day."

Nobuhiko agreed, and this was also the responsibility he thought he should fulfill.

Katsumi has started a new life, and Kyoko is the only one left. However, listening to Kyoko's words, Nobuhiko instinctively felt a complicated emotion in his heart, perhaps because he inherited Nobuhiko's original memory. Be emotional.

However, this is not a bad thing.

Putting aside his messy thoughts for the time being, Nobuhiko also started his own plan.

"Since we are going to conduct a sneak search this time, let's first find out the identity of a villain. It just so happens that I have wanted to try that thing a long time ago."

Nobuhiko stepped on the gas and sped towards Fengdu City. He had not transformed, but the sensory organs in his body still allowed him to feel everything around him, and he was also picking out the parts he needed among this complicated information.

In this way, he got something soon - under the overpass, a person in a suit who looked like a salesman was showing his products to a middle-aged man. In the exquisite suitcase, there were a series of Rows of colorful Gaia memories.

Nobuhiko knew clearly that the other party should be the organization that controls the Gaia Memory - one of the many salesmen under the museum. They would sell the memory to various people. The price seemed not expensive, and the working class could afford it, but it was very difficult. Obviously, they are not doing charity.

People who buy memories are actually experimental subjects for them. These people contribute precious data to the museum at the cost of their own lives.

Regardless of other things, the promotion aspect gave Nobuhiko a convenient opportunity to contact the museum.

The transaction went smoothly. The clerk purchased a brown memory and then turned around and left. The salesman also planned to leave. Seizing this opportunity, Nobuhiko rode his motorcycle forward and stopped the salesman.

"Who are you?"

Nejin frowned, looked at Nobuhiko in front of him, and subconsciously held his own memory in his right hand. These salesmen were naturally not ordinary people, and they all had their own memories. Most of them were named " The memory of "Masquerade", commonly known as the mixed soldiers.

Although the combat effectiveness is relatively weak, it is still more than enough to deal with ordinary people.

"I didn't expect to see it on the first day. I've heard it a long time ago that Fengdu has something that can turn people into supermen. That's it. Can you sell it to me?"

"Oh? A foreigner?"

Nezu was a little hesitant. Generally speaking, they sell memories for the purpose of collecting data and then tracking the other party. Therefore, they usually investigate the target of the sale in advance and rarely sell the memory to others suddenly. After all, some people cannot use the memory. .

However, there are exceptions. Maybe this person can give him an unexpected surprise. Moreover, his sales this month are a bit low. Their sales champion has been spotted by the head of the museum, which also makes Nejin's heart rise. A hint of ambition.

Thoughts were racing in his heart, but it only lasted for a few seconds. He said with a smile on his face:

"It's an honor for us to have your recognition, so please take a look and see which one you want."

Just like that, a box of memories was neatly arranged in front of Nobuhiko.

Gaia memory is similar to a USB flash drive, but much larger.

Nezu continued:

"Just do it according to your own feelings. If you don't know how to choose, you can-"

"This is it!"

Nobuhiko almost without pause selected one of the memories - it had a cyan shell and was patterned like the head of some kind of insect.

"Locust memory? You made a choice so quickly. It is definitely a perfect match for you."

The smile on Nejin's face became even bigger. There is an adaptation rate between the memory and the host. The higher the adaptation rate, the stronger the power it can exert, and the more precious the data obtained.

One manifestation of the high adaptation rate is the mutual attraction between the memory and the host.

A performance like Nobuhiko's second-second selection means that his adaptation rate must not be low.

"You need to undergo an interface operation before using it. When using it, you only need to press the switch and then insert it from the interface."

As he said, Genzu took out a white interface injector and inserted the locust memory selected by Nobuhiko into it.

Nobuhiko did not hesitate, rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his right hand.

Click——!

The injector left a black interface on Nobuhiko's arm, which also meant the end of the operation.

"Okay, this memory belongs to you."

"Thank you."

Nobuhiko took over, and then pressed the switch without hesitation and inserted it into his arm.

At this moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling filled his body - in the cyan light, Nobuhiko turned into a silver and white locust monster.

This posture is similar to the appearance of Yingyue before he fully awakened, but there are two sharp limbs behind him.

"What a perfect power, congratulations, you have become a being beyond human beings."

Compliments came out of Genzu's mouth like money.

At this moment, Nobuhiko entered a strange state. At the moment of insertion, the Earth memory inside the locust memory instantly enveloped his body, and this power also received a response from the Emperor Stone. In the previous fragments of the Death God memory, the information was too scarce, and even the Emperor Stone did not react much. Now, the Emperor Stone is using the locust memory as a starting point to track the Earth memory storage location - the Earth Library. Until a barrier composed of data blocked Nobuhiko. "A barrier formed by the Earth memory? Interesting, can I get in with the power of the Emperor Stone?" After feeling his own situation, Nobuhiko suddenly realized that he seemed to be able to transform here. But now is obviously not the time to explore, so he gave up the transformation and disappeared here. In Genzu's eyes, it was just that the other party took a few seconds to adapt to the power. After Nobuhiko released the transformation, he stepped forward and asked: "How does it feel?" "Well, great, how much?" Nobuhiko asked while taking out the wallet from his pocket. "200,000 yen."

Genzu casually quoted a price that could buy a flagship Apple phone. It was a bit expensive, but it was very cost-effective compared to the memory. Obviously, he didn't care about the price:

"Can you tell me your name and address? We are also proud of our excellent after-sales service."

"Well... Tsukikage Nobuhiko, I just came to Fuuto and haven't found a place to live yet."

Nobuhiko reported the name of Nobuhiko in another parallel universe. He had an experiment to do about the memory of the earth. Listening to Genzu's words, he turned around and took out a paper bag from the motorcycle and handed it to Genzu.

That was the money he exchanged after coming to this world.

"That's no problem, just leave your phone number... um?"

Looking at the stacks of Fukuzawa Yukichi in the bag, Genzu frowned and looked at Nobuhiko in confusion.

"I want to buy more memory, can I?"

Nobuhiko said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, Nezu frowned:

"How much do you want?"

"All."

"Are you kidding? Mr. Tsukikage, we won't accept such a deal!"

"Do I look like I'm kidding?"

Nobuhiko said with a smile.

Seeing this, Nezu's face became completely gloomy, and he took out his memory:

"It seems that the deal has failed, Mr. Tsukikage, please return your memory."

Masquerade!

Nezu inserted the memory into his neck, and his head instantly turned into a monster surrounded by skeletons, resembling a Shocker soldier.

"Want to fight? That's just what I want."

Nobuhiko moved his wrist and smiled kindly.

A minute later, Nezu covered his stomach and fell to the ground in pain to cancel the transformation, but Nobuhiko was not red in the face or out of breath. To deal with an enemy of this level, he didn't even need to transform, and subdued him with a few joint techniques.

"I'll take these. I thought you were good at fighting, but you're just like this. By the way, don't forget this. I'm a law-abiding citizen."

Nobuhiko smiled and put the bag of money in front of Nezu, then picked up the suitcase with the memory and turned to leave.

And Nezu tried his best to say something harsh:

"The museum won't let you go!"

"I'm looking forward to it. Please bring someone stronger next time. I haven't been so excited for a long time. Goodbye."

Nobuhiko put the suitcase on the motorcycle and turned to leave.

PS: The price of Gaia's memory is not shown in the play, but it seems that no one can afford it so far. It is probably quite cheap. In addition, the image of Yingyue's mixed body will not be commissioned for the time being. Please refer to the image of the locust monster in the black play.

As for asking about the family address, it is my secondary setting. The protagonist is not from Fuuto. If the salesman wants to master the data, he must ask about the family information.

Finally, regarding the locust memory, the word hopper used by Sister Taozi in the original drama is also translated as locust. I searched it and found that this should be called springtail. I don’t know why many special effects elements related to this word are translated as locusts, such as Battle Hopper.
