The Knights of the DC House

In the night, Ke Wen stood there, looking at the second knight who appeared in his city. In the true sense, apart from himself, the local knight born in this universe, Laqi. As the saying goes, there is no wrong name.

His name is just a wrong nickname. This sentence is not false when applied to this trash rider. Ke Wen doesn’t know the boundaries of his form and ability, but his performance in several major events

They are both good and Ke Wen also sees it.

It was hard to imagine that such a powerful guy would make an overseas phone call to him. Not long after the call was made, he would appear in front of him in this way and bring him a surprise.

"Let's talk about the late-night snack you want after eating." He threw the packed late-night snack in his hand, patted the back seat of the car, and motioned for Li Jie to come up.

"Thank you, but I have some too."

Taking the supper thrown by Ke Wen, Li Jie just smiled heartily and snapped his fingers. A motorcycle with a style not inferior to Ke Wen also drove out of the sea of ​​​​fire and stopped in front of Ke Wen. He looked at it.

Regarding the operation of other people's motorcycles, Ke Wen lowered his head and looked at the car under his crotch. Why doesn't my motorcycle move by itself?

While complaining, the two of them left the scene before the police and fire alarms arrived. After finding a relatively quiet place to stop, and looking at the bright fire, Ke Wen turned around and wanted to ask.

The guy who called himself senior talked about what happened before, but when he saw Li Jie who was devouring his late-night snack, he didn't bother him, and just waited quietly for him to finish.

He didn't understand that a Kamen Rider who relied on his motherland to respond to the concept of being the second Kamen Rider and the first Kamen Rider in the DC universe could make him so embarrassed. Look at how he behaved at this time.

Ke Wen could also guess what the hungry ghost looked like.

"Sorry, I've been busy killing guys like that just now, and I haven't had time to cook a proper meal for myself. The last meal I had was a bit ugly."

After feasting for a while, Li Jie also wiped the oil from his mouth and said with a bit of relief after a full stomach.

"No, I can understand that if there are too many monsters like that, you will suffer if you are busy. But can you finish talking about what is going on with these monsters and weirdos."

Ke Wen was also curious about the strange person who just appeared in front of him. The moment he saw this strange person, Ke Wen felt that this was not one of those common aliens, or something born from biochemical experiments. It made sense.

Simple, with a completely different style of painting. A live-action movie based on a comic book style, full of realism.

The live-action version in the tokusatsu style is full of realism and also has a bit of fantasy. People can tell at a glance that this is not a monster that exists in the world. It will not be like the comic adaptation of American comics.

, allowing people to understand and accept the existence of this creation.

Li Jie, who had just had a good meal, when Ke Wen mentioned the weirdo he had just killed, the joyful expression he had seen when he saw Ke Wen stopped. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket with a bit of melancholy, and took out two

Roots, one held in the mouth, and one pointed towards Ke Wen.

"No, I've been quitting smoking for a long time, so don't quit smoking. Although for us, the disease is basically out of reach, but as a figure who represents the image of the country, being seen has a bad impact."

"So I don't smoke in front of others, and if it hadn't been for these recent things, I wouldn't smoke this. This is bad stuff, but sometimes, we need these bad things to find some comfort for ourselves. As for what you just saw

The monster I arrived is a human being, a real human being, and he is also what I will become in the future."

When Li Jie said these shocking words in such a calm tone, Ke Wen was not much surprised. He just sat on the motorcycle, looking at Li Jie's painful expression when he said these words, and waved silently.

, the Huazi he put in his hand came to his mouth, sparks flashed, and smoke swirled in front of him. Perhaps because of seeing Ke Wen, the first Kamen Rider, Li Jie's expression also changed a bit.

Relaxed, and after taking a few deep breaths, he started talking.

"I guess I haven't said anything about how I got this ability, right?"

"No, I only know that Kong Kenan told me at that time that your ability is a one-time thing. It can turn the materialized things in your mind into reality and can be used by you. But only

Once. So before you materialize, you are just an ordinary person, and you need a lot of knowledge to enrich yourself and perfect things when you materialize."

Recalling his contact with the Ministry of Self-Strength of China when he returned to China, the Chinese superman who inherited the power of the old 52 superman described Li Jie's ability when introducing his members. To a certain extent, this ability is more like

It is the Lantern series, which uses the power of the emotional spectrum to materialize. How strong the materialized things are depends on how deeply the user understands the materialized things.

So when he saw Li Jie materialize a complete set of knight armor and belt, he was also confused. Because the power theory of the knight system is not reasonable at all, it is a pure product of idealism, but people can actually use the product of idealism

It's outrageous that this thing has become a reality. What's even more outrageous is that Li Jie himself has not perfected this system, and the set of knight armor he has embodied has a lot of blank spaces.

But this is the case, but it gives this set of knight armor more room for growth, that is, based on the four basic forms that he knows, dry garbage, wet garbage, recycling garbage, and hazardous waste, there are also transitional ones.

Enhanced, final and possible theatrical version limited form.

"That's almost it, but there are some things I didn't tell him, some secrets that only I know." He nodded, and Li Jie did not deny Ke Wen's answer. This was what he reported when he joined the Self-Strengthening Department.

intelligence.

"So you called me, and what happened in front of me, are you going to share this secret with me?"

"Because only you can give me an answer to what I'm going through now."

"I understand, tell me, I'm listening."

Passing the right to speak to Li Jie, the second knight who was born after him, Ke Wen stopped asking questions and became a listener honestly. And Li Jie also talked about owning this in the smoke.

The beginning and end of strength.

"That should be the time when you officially appeared in the world as a Kamen Rider. Let me think about it, yes, it was during the so-called parallel universe invasion incident. You may not believe it, but before that, I was just a person who was about to face

I am just a college student who is unemployed after graduation. I have no special skills and no face that God will reward me with food. Apart from always having some daydreams when I am bored, I have nothing. The only thing that can be considered as an advantage is to survive from time to time.

What a bad character.

During that parallel universe invasion incident, I happened to be on a graduation trip with my roommate and went abroad. Yes, that’s right, it’s the country you’re staying in now. It’s here that I saw your appearance and saw you.

As a Kamen Rider, I defeated the villains of those parallel universes. At that time, I was thinking: Oh my God, how could there be such a completely unreasonable, yet handsome, messed-up armor?

Before I saw you, I always thought that the romance of boys was mechas, Ultramans and Gundams. But after seeing you, I felt that transforming into a Kamen Rider is also a kind of romance."

Hearing this, Ke Wen also felt something wrong. He didn't expect that the reason why Li Jie was born as a Kamen Rider was still rooted in him, or that he was still a knight born under his influence?!

"You want to say that after this, you will have this ability? This ability is used to materialize once?"

Li Jie nodded, acknowledging Ke Wen's guess.

"As you said, after returning to China, because I saw your style, I began to collect news and information related to you, and wanted to know more about you. It can be said that at that time, I was your fan

, it’s just that you don’t know. I only had an idea at the time, how great it would be if I could have an ability like yours, which is a bit shameful to say. There is only one reason why I want to have an ability like yours: because then I can

Apply to become a state-established capable person.

Not to mention anything else, I have an iron rice bowl, a nine-to-five job, five social insurances and one housing fund, public rental housing, preferential wages, and an allocated house outside. Parents will be able to have more face when talking about it, and they can also show up at class reunions in style. As for

I don’t reject the idea of ​​being a person with compilation abilities and being the frontline of disaster relief and crime fighting. At least I haven’t seen you lose as a Kamen Rider. So if I were a Kamen Rider, I shouldn’t either.

Where will I lose? Besides, I’m not the only one with abilities. Eat public food, do good deeds, and don’t conflict.”

Listening quietly to Li Jie's thoughts before becoming a knight, Ke Wen had no idea of ​​laughing at him, because his idea was great and very good. If possible, he would also like to have such treatment, with the country as his backer and himself as the backer.

When it comes to the country's work, there is no need to talk about becoming famous, spending money like water, and having hordes of fans. It's just a package distribution, and he thinks it's okay. It's just that the place he traveled through is not very good. It's direct freedom and democracy, which is very embarrassing!

As for Li Jie's claim that he has never lost, Ke Wen was embarrassed to expose it. As a Kamen Rider, you have to learn to get used to being defeated. Only if you suffer too many defeats can you make a comeback.

"This is nothing to be ashamed of, but I'm curious, how did you discover that you have this ability to manifest?"

With a simple question, Li Jie, who was recalling the past, suddenly felt embarrassed. After a long while, he said silently.

"I have been solo since I was born..."

"so?"

"At the graduation reception, I embodied a girlfriend for myself..."

The air became quiet when Li Jie told his little secret. As a qualified listener, Ke Wen subconsciously looked up at the driver on his waist and thought about the person who was still autistic at this time.

The salted fish system slowly lowered his head, sighed, and shed countless sad tears.

"Senior?" Noticing Ke Wen's strange behavior, Li Jie couldn't help but feel strange. Although it was me who told the story, why did he always feel that Ke Wen was the person in that story?

"It's okay. I just feel that I am not qualified as a Kamen Rider. You can continue and don't worry about me."

Looking at the cigarette butt held backwards in Ke Wen's hand, Li Jie couldn't understand Ke Wen's mentality for a while, and Ke Wen, who was completely unaware, also put the cigarette butts held backwards into his mouth, and then he realized what he was doing.

The gaffe. The original deep atmosphere was diluted a little after Ke Wen performed a reverse smoking. And Li Jie also pushed the story to the ten months after Ke Wen left the main universe.

"And in the ten months since you disappeared, some strange things happened to me. Senior, do you know why I defined my title as Lazi? Because in my opinion, everyone, including you and me,

, there are dirty parts in our hearts that exist as garbage. We just bury these things deep in our hearts, or vent them out through some channels, but they will still exist. You can just call yourself a Kamen Rider, I

No, so I named myself Laqi.

Originally I just thought this way, but after that, I found that I began to hear the voices of people's hearts. No, it can't be said to be people's voices, but the voices of dark emotions in everyone's heart. Dark emotions

Everyone has it. When they are treated unfairly or something unfortunate happens to them, they will have dark emotions. Why is it me, this bastard? I want to kill him, etc. Most of the time, this

This dark mood lasts for a while, and after a while, you have to live your life as you should."

"You want to say that you can now feel that some people will, because of certain things, at that moment, the dark emotions in their hearts completely burst out, thus occupying their hearts and turning into the kind of weirdo I just saw? Completely...

The existence eroded by the garbage emotions in the heart?"

When Li Jie said the next part, Ke Wen understood, and Li Jie nodded in affirmation of Ke Wen's guess. When he said this, Ke Wen could also feel the fluctuations in Li Jie's voice. He could

Feel the pain in the heart of this local knight who was born after him.

"Senior, you know, they are all human beings, living human beings! As long as they are human beings, such dark emotions are unavoidable. Why do they have to turn into weirdos just for a moment of emotion? That's fine.

Now, I can also feel those people who are accumulating dark emotions. I try to enlighten them, help them, and want them to come out, but why in the end, they still become weirdos! I don’t understand, so senior,

Help me, I want to know why!"

At the end, Li Jie cried. A 24-year-old boy shed tears in front of Ke Wen. Ke Wen could feel his helplessness, the feeling that after failing to save others, he had to kill him with his own hands.

That helplessness, that vulnerability.

That's enough. Looking at Li Jie crying in front of him, Ke Wen can understand why he is the second Kamen Rider born after him, and he also understands why he is the Kamen Rider. And he

I also recalled what the god who represented the rules of destiny said to him after the old 52 Wally caused the rebirth of memories in the old 52 universe. As a member of the DC Universe Infinite Family, he represents the rules of fate.

The more he interferes with the operation of the multiverse, the multiverse will also fight back while recognizing itself. The Li Jie who appeared in front of Ke Wen at this time is an example. This is a universe that does not belong to the old 52 universe, nor does it belong to the new one.

Universe 52 is a major event that only belongs to the multiverse where I exist as a Kamen Rider at this time.

He walked forward and patted Li Jie on the shoulder, causing Li Jie, who was in tears, to look up and see Ke Wen's smiling face.

"Since you exist here as a Kamen Rider, you have to understand a rule. Knights and knights help each other, so you can shed tears now, as much as you want, but after turning around, you have to put this aside.

Wiping away the tears of success, we have to find out the reason, right? We have to be like a man of steel, hide this fragility, and end it all."

He stared blankly at Ke Wen, who was encouraging him. He could feel the dark emotions in Ke Wen's heart because of hearing the stories he told, and he could also feel that the dark emotions were disappearing. At this moment, he understood that he

Come to Ke Wen for help, you’ve come to the right one!

"clear!"

Wiping the tears from his eyes, he followed Ke Wen and rode away on his motorcycle. This big incident caused by him and Ke Wen was still waiting for them to resolve.

On the way, Ke Wen also turned on the car audio on the motorcycle, and a song "Steel Man" on his playlist also echoed at night. Listening to the free and easy male voice in the song with a bit of emotion, he followed Ke Wen.

After getting the tattoo, Li Jie's depressed mood also dissipated a lot.

Wipe away the tears of dissatisfaction after turning around and leaving

A bright smile mixed with sweat

···

Everything will become a past that cannot be erased by memories

Traces that will slowly disappear over time

Just let it go and maybe one day you will remember it

I once defeated myself in my life
