Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 562 Memory
If a story wants to go on, what is the most important thing?

script.

And for a world, what is a script?

fate.

So, what is destiny?
time.

The time of countless people turned into the thread of cause and effect, weaving together a web called fate.

Then, people moved forward, spun, or turned along the lines in the net, and finally became the memories of each life called life.

And the record that unites those memories is the history of existence in this world that these beings live in.

Just like a big tree needs roots and a tall building needs a foundation, the world also needs history to prove and maintain its past, present, and future.

Tokiwa Shogo looked at the screen images recording the history of all living beings in front of him, and suddenly understood in his heart.

That's right, here is one of the foundations of the real world, and it is the place where the history of the real world is recorded.

It is precisely because of finding this place that the Virtual Sect of Life will confidently regard the whole world as a game field.

【Real World Game Library】

They regard people living in the real world as NPCs, their lives as virtual plots, and destroying NPCs' lives as games.

Oh, no wonder, the Virtual Sect of Life believes that only players are qualified to see the reality, enjoy reality as they please.

Not a player, not detached.

Really...

ridiculous.

Tokiwa Sogo raised his foot and stepped into the game library where an unknown number of life screens were stored. Behind him was Iida who wanted to stop him but was too late.

He hurriedly yelled: "Be careful! There is a mysterious power in the game library that can make people lose their minds. Even players with full protection cannot stay in it for a long time! You must choose a game before you completely forget your name." Enter the game, complete the trial, and retrieve your lost memories, otherwise you will be assimilated into a string of data there, and become a fog of ignorance floating in the game library..."

However, at this point, the voice of Iida, who was shouting anxiously, suddenly stopped abruptly.

What did he see?
In the game library, the sides and back of each life screen are constantly emitting white mist.

The fog sank and gathered on the ground, forming a sea of ​​white fog.

Iida saw that the moment Sogo Tokiwa stepped into the white sea of ​​fog, the entire sea of ​​fog stopped flowing instantly.

Immediately afterwards, the sea of ​​fog that the virtual sect of life could not dispel even a little bit slowly separated in front of Sogo Tokiwa, a road without a wisp of fog.

This is not over yet.

As Sogo Tokiwa continued to move forward on the road separated by the fog, when he crossed the first row of life screens, the life images that were being staged on the first row of life screens suddenly paused for a moment, and the image of the protagonist They were all distorted into the appearance of Sogo Tokiwa.

Student Tokiwa Sogo, teacher Tokiwa Sogo, lawyer Tokiwa Sogo, homeless Sogo Tokiwa, entrepreneur Tokiwa Sogo...

On each screen, there is a Sogo Tokiwa who is interpreting a different life.

Moreover, as Sogo Tokiwa walked further along that foggy road, and passed through more and more screens of life, this scene also continued to be staged in the game library.

The successful Tokiwa Sogo, the failed Tokiwa Sogo, the happy Tokiwa Sogo, the miserable Tokiwa Sogo...

The protagonist in more and more life screens has become Sogo Tokiwa.

Iida looked at the Tokiwa Souwa who were showing all kinds of life on the screen, his eyes were already widened in astonishment and shock, and he completely lost the ability to speak.

He didn't know how Tokiwa Shogo did it, he just felt a sudden dazed feeling in his heart.

——He is indeed not an ordinary person.

That was the answer to a question in his mind earlier.

The video on the life screen started to speed up at some point, as if someone pressed the fast forward button.

1x speed, 2x speed, 3x speed, 4x speed, 5x speed...

The video of life plays faster and faster.

Gradually, the screen carrying the images of life made a sound of being on the verge of limit and overwhelmed.

The screen began to vibrate, and cracks appeared continuously. The Tokiwa Sougo in the story seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly stood up at the same time, looking at the back of Tokiwa Sogo walking on the foggy road through the life screen full of cracks. .

Then, wearing different costumes and having different lives, they took steps together.

Whoa-! ! !
Accompanied by the overwhelming sound of screen shattering, phantoms of Sogo Tokiwa turned into strings of data and gathered towards Sogo Tokiwa like meteors.

At the same time, the fog at the end of the road dissipates, revealing the side that has been hidden in the depths of the fog, the only life screen in the game library that has remained intact so far, and that is the life that really belongs to Sogo Tokiwa in this world Screen.

At this time, Sogo Tokiwa was standing in front of that screen, looking at his past on the screen.

On the screen, Tokiwa Shogo's life in this world did not start from birth, but from the time he walked a road surrounded by fog.

The road surrounded by mist was just like the one he was walking at this time.

Tokiwa Sogo raised his hand and looked towards the screen of his own life.

He can perceive that his memory is hidden in it, the truth he has been looking for recently is hidden, and the truth that is likely to tear the world apart is hidden.

So, before his fingertips were about to touch the screen, Sogo Tokiwa still hesitated.

But after hesitation and struggle, Sogo Tokiwa still slowly and firmly pressed his hand on the screen of his life.

Snapped!
The screen is broken.

The Ex-Aid knight watch that turned into a phantom was held in the hand of Tokiwa Shogo.

Some shattered lights wandering in the empty space finally found their destination, crossed the barrier of the world, and gathered in it.

Tokiwa Shogo recovered part of his memory, with an uncontrollable sad expression on his face.

Behind him, there are thousands of meteors of data flowing into his body. From a distance, it seems that two huge wings made of fluorescent light have grown from his back.

He is like an angel who fell into the mortal world. After carrying the lives of all people, even if he turns into a demon with tears, he still has to protect everything.

Iida looked at Tokiwa Sogo's back from afar, and suddenly wanted to go over and stand with him.

But as soon as he took a step, everything in front of him was instantly shattered.

Everything they experienced just now was like a dream. They have been standing on the roof of the sick building and never left.

The wind blows harder and colder.

There was a sound like wings flapping as the white sheets that were drying were flapping.

Tokiwa Sogo bowed his head, put his hands on his chest, and whispered to himself.

"Inside me, lives another person.

"He was locked in by myself.

"I am sick.

"I'm trying to... heal myself."
