Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 187 World Famous Paintings
The former site of Sonosaki House.

The mansion that was once burned to ruins has been abandoned for many years because it was left unattended.

Suddenly, a teleportation magic circle unfolded in front of the ruins, and Sogo Tokiwa stepped out of it.

He rubbed his chin, looking at the ruins of the empty mansion, with a distressed expression on his face.

Because the green beam of light had disappeared, he was a little bit blind now. He only knew that this area should be where the beam of light rose, but he didn't know where it came from.

After thinking for a while, he walked into the ruins and began to look for an entrance to an underground dark room.

And just as he was looking for it, a green figure rode a motorcycle, broke through the gate and broke in, and then released Cyclone's transformation in the surprised eyes of Tokiwa Shogo, jumped off the motorcycle, and walked through the ruins very clearly, rushed in one direction.

This figure is Philip who is rushing over.

"Hey, you..."

Tokiwa Sogo blinked, waved and was about to say hello when Philip rushed past him as if he hadn't seen him.

The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, Tokiwa Sogo withdrew his outstretched hand and smiled awkwardly.

They didn't say anything more, they just followed Philip, walked through the ruins, and ran towards the deserted church on the other side.

Then, following behind Philip, he entered the underground laboratory of Sonosaki's house from the entrance inside the church.

It's just that the gate of the underground research institute has been tightly closed, and the thick alloy gate has blocked Philip's way without moving.

Philip groaned, clenched his fists and slammed on the alloy door, crying.

"Sister! Sister Saeko!! Did you catch Sister Wakana? No matter what you want to do, I beg you not to do it well? Sister Saeko, Sister Wakana is your sister! Your real sister! It's family! Sister Saeko, please open the door, please open the door!? Please open the door——!!!”

Suddenly, Philip, whose eyes were blurred by tears, couldn't help being stunned for a moment, because he found that the fist he had knocked on the alloy door had been emptied, as if the alloy door blocking him had suddenly disappeared. Same.

"what is this?"

He wiped his eyes vigorously with his hand, and wiped away the tears stuck in them. Philip was shocked to find that there was a black circular hole on the alloy door blocking him.

Tokiwa Shogo: "It's a door, a 'door' that can pass through this alloy door."

Philip turned his head in response, and saw Sogo Tokiwa looking at him with a very innocent expression, holding the Wizard's knight watch on his chest, with his thumb on the start button.

[Fall! Please! 】

Tokiwa Shogo maintained the magic that could pass through barriers, pointed at the black hole, and asked Philip with a smile.

"Aren't you going in?"

Philip's hesitation didn't even have time to blink, and he nodded affirmatively.

"Enter!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately bent down and got into the magic hole.

Sogo Tokiwa then also stepped in.

And after Tokiwa Sogo entered, the magic hole gradually shrank and disappeared.

……

……

The basement research room.

After entering, Sogo Tokiwa looked around and found that there was no one except Philip who came in first.

But Philip, who came in first, seemed to have lost his soul at this time, standing blankly beside the well connected to the core of the earth, with a depressive atmosphere lingering all over his body, which made Tokiwan who wanted to ask something Zhuang Wu always felt a little embarrassed to open his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

Therefore, he first found the switch of the alloy gate, opened the alloy gate, and then walked to Philip's side.

Then, he turned his head to glance at Philip's expression, and followed Philip's line of sight to the well connected to the earth's core.

Going two steps forward, looking down at the situation in the well, and seeing the green lights in the well, Sougo Tokiwa finally realized where the green beam of light came from.

He still remembered that Woz said before that the reason why the Sonosaki family was able to create Gaia memory was when their family discovered a well connected to the core of the earth.

and so……

"This is it, the well that the Sonosaki family discovered connected to the core of the earth."

Sogo Tokiwa was talking to himself in a loud voice, and it was actually for Philip. In order to attract his attention, break the oppressive atmosphere around him, open up the topic, pick up some information, and then boost his feelings.

But when Sogo Tokiwa was expecting Philip to ask something similar to "How did you know?", he found a figure walking past him, about to jump into the well.

[Fuck! ? ]
Tokiwa Shogo suddenly had a question mark in his head, and quickly reached out to grab Philip's wrist who was trying to jump into the well, and asked.

"what are you doing?"

Philip returned to his senses, and looked at Sogo Tokiwa in a daze.

"I……"

At this moment, Shotaro Sato, who was out of breath, ran in from the alloy gate, and saw Sogo Tokiwa holding Philip's wrist with a "concerned" expression on his face, while Philip...

"???" Zuo Shotaro asked in astonishment, even slightly stagnant in breathing, "What are you doing?"

The atmosphere at the scene once condensed into freezing point.

Sogo Tokiwa reflexively let go of Philip's wrist and coughed twice.

Don't get me wrong, it's not what you think... Tsk, of course Sogo Tokiwa wouldn't say that, and it's not like he's making an emotional soap opera.

He explained to Shotaro Sato generously.

"I think your partner may need a little enlightenment... because he seemed to want to jump into this well just now."

Speaking, in order to facilitate Sato Shotaro's understanding, Tokiwa Sogo also raised his finger and pointed to the well connected to the core of the earth in front of him.

Following the direction of Tokiwa Sogo's finger, Shotaro Sato also saw the well.

Then, he looked at Philip's expression, and when he saw Philip's subconscious reaction of looking away, he knew that what Sogo Tokiwa said was true.

Couldn't help but sighed, Shotaro Sato didn't blame Philip for anything, but tried to control his emotions and asked.

"……What happened?"

Philip was silent for a while, and explained to Shotaro Sato.

"Sister Saeko, in order to obtain the power of Xtreme, she may have given Sister Wakana to her... But just now, I seemed to hear Sister Wakana's call, so I couldn't help but walked towards the well."

After finishing speaking with some hesitation, Philip took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and added a sentence.

"I'll go to the Earth Library to have a look."

With his arms open, Philip entered the Earth Library in a flash of green light.

As soon as he entered, Philip heard the call from Sonosaki Wakana again.

"Philip..."

"Sister Wakana!"

Philip ran in the Earth Library, calling loudly.

"Sister Wakana, where are you!?"

"I'm here."

The bookshelf moved and moved to both sides, forming a long road, so Philip finally saw Sonosaki Wakana's back.

"Sister Wakana—"

He quickly ran behind the figure and raised his hand to press the other's shoulder.

"you……"

The figure turned around, but Philip's eyes widened and his breathing stopped because of it.

Because, it was obviously Sonosaki Wakana's back, after turning around, the face revealed was not Sonosaki Wakana who had been with him day and night for ten years, but, Sonosaki Saeko!
Seeing Philip who was so stunned and lost his voice, Sonosaki Saeko raised the corners of her lips and greeted him with a smile.

"Long time no see, come here."
