Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 470 Despair Spreads
I wonder if you have heard of the famous trolley problem?

Its content is roughly like this:
A maniac has tied five innocent people to the tram tracks as a runaway tram is heading their way and will run over their bodies moments later.

Luckily, you have a lever close at hand that will allow the trolley to move onto another track.

But the thing is, that maniac also tied a guy on another track.

Ask, in this case, would you choose to pull the lever?

There is no doubt that this is a very cruel multiple choice question.

Because no matter what you choose, lives will be lost.

But anyway, no matter what you choose, you are still safe.

But now, Zhuang Wu of the Mirror World has upgraded this question to a higher level.

The devil from the mirror world asked everyone with great pleasure.

If you are also tied to the tram track by that madman, one of the five people, you are far away from the lever, but the madman gives you a remote control and tells you that as long as you press the button, the runaway tram will also go away. on another track...

At this time, would you choose to press the button?
Even though, you know full well, that would cost someone on the other track their life.

Even if you don't know at all whether the remote control that lunatic gave you is real or not.

In reality it is:

While Mirror World Shogo happily announced to the world that he would start destroying the world from Tokyo in three days, he also generously told everyone how to kill him as a meeting ceremony.

In other words, as long as he was killed in the real world, he, who was the mirror image of the world in the mirror, would naturally disappear along with it.

In this way, the trolley problem has an obvious tendency to choose.

Should I choose my own life as the majority, or choose the life of a stranger whose innocence has been reduced? The answer becomes very clear all of a sudden, doesn't it?
Therefore, the last sentence left by Zhuang Wu in the mirror world to the real world is a very joking one...

"I look forward to your choice."

After the words fell, the image of Zhuang Wu in the mirror world disappeared, replaced by the carnival of countless mirror monsters.

On the glass outside the towering building, two black and crimson dragons swim and howl;

Countless blue-purple dragonfly monsters flew out of the windows of various high-rise buildings, dropped missiles, and disappeared into the windows of other high-rise buildings;
On both sides of the street, on the glass windows of various shops, huge snakes and spiders appeared from time to time, casting their eyes on the pedestrians on the street, as if they were choosing the meals on the table;
On the road, someone stepped on the accelerator hard, trying to drive away from the city that was suddenly filled with monsters, but on the metal surface of their car windows and body, there were faster antelope monsters passing by. cast mocking glances at them;

At the same time, those who were standing in front of the mirror were even more horrified to find out that along with a burst of terrifying beeps, a hideous mouthpart suddenly protruded from the mirror into reality...

All kinds of phenomena tell everyone that unless they live in the darkness without any reflective objects from now on, the monsters in the mirror world will definitely come to them and eat them all !
In this way, Zhuang Wu of the mirror world boasted wantonly of his monster army, and used real blood and fire to prove to the whole world that he does have the ability to destroy the world, so as to break all people's luck. Fantasy, forcing them to make a choice as soon as possible.

Choose yourself, choose the world?

Or, choose Tokiwa Sogo?

……

……

on the street.

Gates looked around, looking at this world that suddenly began to be shrouded in terror and despair, his teeth were clenched, and his fists were already tightly clenched.

"So, when he wants to become a real devil, will the world become like this?"

Thinking of what Monyashi had said to him in the last strange knight incident, Gates couldn't help asking himself at this moment.

"Supposing that the one who announced to destroy the world just now is not the King of Time in the mirror world, but the real King of Time, what should I do?"

Desperate to stop him...

Originally, Gates thought that he would make this decision firmly, but in the end, he found that he couldn't imagine that Shi Wang would really destroy the world.

Yes, it's not that Gates couldn't make the decision to risk his life to stop Sogo Tokiwa, but he couldn't imagine that Sogo Tokiwa would really choose such a future.

Even if he knew that under the instigation of Shogo in the mirror world, almost the whole world would stand on the opposite side of Sogo Tokiwa next, the same.

Thinking of this, Gates' tightly clenched hands were slowly loosened.

His trust in Tokiwa Sogo made him breathe a sigh of relief at this time.

"Sure enough, only Zhuang Wu is the real King of Time!"

With a soft whisper, Gates refocused on the current incident of the strange dragon ride.

And the moment he came back to his senses, his pupils shrank instantly.

In front of him, a bunch of spider threads suddenly spewed out from the glass window, entangled on the leg of a woman who was running away with the crowd because of the appearance of the monster, trying to drag the woman into the mirror world.

The woman screamed in horror and called for help, but not only did no one around her dare to lend a helping hand, they also vacated the place where the woman was in fear, and moved away even faster.

Only Gates, immediately transformed into Kamen Rider Geiz.

[Geiz! 】

Taking out the time axe, using the crossbow mode, while shooting energy arrows, breaking the spider thread that was pulling the woman to the world in the mirror, he quickly ran to the woman against the crowd and helped her up.

"Run! Go where there are no mirrors!"

"Yes, thank you...thank you."

After the woman finished speaking tremblingly, she immediately turned and fled.

But Gates turned his head and looked vigilantly at the spider-shaped mirror monster in the glass window.

But as soon as he looked away from the woman, the next second, he heard a woman's terrified scream from behind, and turned his head quickly, but the woman was nowhere to be seen.

She disappeared.

Gates' eyes widened suddenly, and the hand holding the time ax suddenly tightened, and he couldn't help trembling.

"Where was she taken?"

At the same time as the voice sounded, Gates also remembered the setting that the mirror monster would not give up once it locked on its prey.

This made Gates immediately turn his gaze back to the window where the spider-shaped mirror monster was, just in time to see that another smaller spider-shaped mirror monster sent the woman wrapped in layers of spider silk to the giant spider-shaped mirror monster scene.

Except for the upper half of the woman's face, the rest of the woman was already entangled with spider silk.

She looked in the direction where Gates was, and let out a cry for help, with despair and hope in her eyes.

Gates subconsciously rushed towards the direction of the woman and the mirror monster, but...

Whoa!

Instead of entering the mirror world where the woman and the spider-type mirror monster reside, Gates, in Geiz armor, smashes the glass window.

The shards of glass scattered from the air, and each piece reflected the darkened image of the light in the woman's eyes.

Gates, couldn't do anything.

He who cannot enter the mirror world cannot save anyone who has been dragged into the mirror world.

"hateful!!!"

Gates roared angrily and unwillingly.

To Zhuang Wu in the mirror world is also to himself.

The demon king from the mirror world kept saying that he wanted to give this world a gift called "hope", but in the end, what he brought to this world was only endless fear and despair.
