Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 597 Confusion
His chest was pierced and he fell to the ground. Hearing Super Boy's answer, the man in kimono opened his eyes slightly, and what appeared in his eyes was suddenly, and understanding after the unbelievable doubts subsided. .

"That's it...

"It turns out that Ji is already dead..."

No wonder, the boy will come to revenge.

He thought to himself, perhaps, it's not bad to take such a result as his end.

However, I still couldn't help but start flashing some past images in my mind.

……

Previously, when watching Super Boy and Super Girl fleeing in embarrassment while supporting each other, the woman in kimono sighed...

[I didn't expect them to have self-awareness...]

【very pitiful. 】

The man in kimono did not refute, which means that he agrees with the words of the woman in kimono and has the same feeling.

But the question is, as the controllers, how could they sigh like this because of the puppet's resistance?

Mere puppets, dare to resist them as creators...

Shouldn't men and women in kimono be very angry at the thought?

What kind of stand did they use to make such an exclamation?

Let's take a look back at the chivalry history of Ringing Ghost.

……

in the original history.

before this time point.

As the samurai organization matures and the oni becomes stronger, men and women in kimonos are constantly looking for ways to make the boys and girls they created, as well as the demons under their control, stronger.

To this end, the kimono man has done many experiments.

Including but not limited to letting him and the black and white puppets controlled by the woman in kimono feed the boy and Ji with "armor" bait.

Using this method, he successfully evolved ordinary strange boys and enchantresses into warrior boys and Kaiji.

During the period, due to the failure of the experiment, a deranged boy who does not attack people but only attacks demonized demons was accidentally created.

However, whether it is Warrior Boy or Kai Ji, they can find corresponding records in the ancient book records of the warrior organization.

Even the accidental product of the failed experiment of the man in kimono, the Confused Boy, can find corresponding records in the ancient book records of the warrior organization.

All kinds of signs are silently showing that the "innovation" of men and women in kimonos is nothing more than repeating what their "predecessors" have done.

And the real ones, which can barely be regarded as innovations for men and women in kimonos, probably only the birth of Super Boy and Super Girl.

but……

in the original history.

after this time point.

One year after the ghosts completed the earth purification ceremony and successfully suppressed the big snake, such a scene appeared in the plot.

During the fight with the ghost, the man in the kimono suddenly became extremely weak, showing signs that his bodily functions were about to stop.

That kind of sign is caused by not taking the "bait" to maintain body functions for a long time.

Once upon a time, Super Kid had such a symptom because of this.

At that time, what the man in the kimono said to Super Boy was...

"Sorry, forgot to feed regularly."

It was precisely because of this scene that Ji began to think about the question of "what am I and why do I live".

At this time, the man in kimono who also had the same symptoms met a pair of bewildered men and women in western clothes on the way away being helped by the woman in kimono.

The faces of the man and woman in western clothes are also the faces of the boy and Ji!
The man in the western suit leaned over, looked at the extremely weak man in the kimono, and said, "Sorry, I forgot to feed regularly."

Then he took out the "bait" and put it in front of the mouth of the man in the kimono.

"Here's your feed."

The man in the kimono obeyed and opened his mouth, like a pet, being fed by the man in the mansion.

The woman in the kimono lowered her eyes and couldn't bear to look away.

Seeing this, the woman in western clothes stepped forward, turned her head, looked down at the men and women in kimono, and warned: "You will continue to work for us."

The man in the western suit lowered his top hat, closed his eyes, pointed at the man and woman in the kimono, and nodded with a smile.

Comparison of time nodes before and after.

Kimono men and women, super boy and super girl.

Western clothes for men and women, kimono for men and women.

At that moment, at this moment.

……

Time goes back to the present.

No wonder there are no records of Super Boys and Super Girls in the warrior organization, because the Super Boys and Super Girls created by men and women in kimono are exactly themselves... in front of men and women in foreign clothes, themselves.

Then, let's look at what the kimono girl asked the super boy who returned to the mansion alone.

"Even if death is approaching, can she still not figure it out?"

The meaning of this sentence, can it be said in reverse that the woman in kimono once "figured it out" under the threat of death.

The same goes for men in kimonos.

This can be seen from the fact that he will obediently accept feeding from men in western clothes.

They have resigned themselves to their fate.

Therefore, when seeing the return of Super Boy, the man in kimono will silently prepare the "bait" that Super Boy and Super Girl need in advance.

At this time, if we read the exclamation of men and women in kimono, we can fully understand the meaning.

Perhaps, what they really want to say, what they want to sigh is...

[Unexpectedly, they also developed self-awareness. 】

[It's so pitiful...just like us. 】

The man in kimono who was looking back on his meaningless life like a revolving lantern in his mind, at this moment, suddenly thought of something, his eyes that were about to close suddenly widened, looked at Super Boy, and exhausted the rest of his life. With all my strength, I asked him.

"Ji...is dead...you...for...why...!!???"

What kind of expression is that.

It was as if seeing light in the endless darkness.

As if finding water in a thirsty desert.

The woman in kimono quickly understood the meaning of what the man in kimono said, and the same expression immediately appeared on her face.

I saw that she couldn't believe it, but she desperately wanted to believe it, and followed the man in the kimono and questioned Super Boy loudly.

"Why didn't you die like Ji? The time you need 'bait' should be about the same... Tell me! How did you survive? Did you...do not need 'bait' anymore?"

While speaking, the woman in kimono stepped forward with unprecedented excitement, grabbed Super Boy's shoulders tightly, and stared into his eyes without blinking.

This completely unexpected scene completely broke Super Boy's calmness, made him stunned, and made his emotions gradually become extremely chaotic.

"do not come!"

When he came back to his senses, he immediately pushed the woman in the kimono away.

Then, as if to bring everything in front of him back to a level that he could understand, he yelled out words that he thought could irritate men and women in kimonos.

"That's right! I don't need 'bait' anymore! You don't have anything to threaten me with!!"

However, after hearing Super Boy's affirmative answer, the kimono man closed his eyes contentedly, and died with a smile, as if at the end of his life, he finally found the meaning of his life.

The woman in kimono also had a look of joy and expectation.

"My child...my proud child..."

She got up from the ground and approached him again regardless of Superboy's resistance.

That defenseless posture made Super Boy couldn't help but take a step back.

What immediately gushed out was unparalleled anger.

"I said! Let you! Don't come here——!"

Super Boy shouted angrily, and using his palm as a knife, he pierced straight through the abdomen of the woman in kimono.

However, even so, the kimono woman's face still did not show the slightest look that the super boy wanted to see.

Such as pain, such as anger, such as remorse, such as despair...

She just smiled softly, slowly raised her hand, and gently caressed the side face of Super Boy.

Just like a mother looking at her newborn child.

"Don't be sad, let alone worry.

"All of this is the retribution we deserve."

The super boy trembled uncontrollably, then gritted his teeth, loudly denying what the kimono woman said.

"Who will be sad because of you!"

Having said that, he couldn't help but immediately withdrew his blood-stained palm.

As a result, the woman in the kimono staggered, and was able to take another step forward, successfully hugging Super Boy.

"That's good……"

She hung her head on Superboy's shoulders, and said in a soft voice.

"Since this is the case, then eat us before all the energy in our bodies dissipates.

"Let our strength be your wings.

"Then, try your best to fly...

"To freedom!"

The voice gradually lowered until the last word fell, and the woman in the kimono was lifeless.

She is dead.

With both arms hanging down, his body leaned down in front of Super Boy weakly.

Superkid trembled all over.

Obviously his revenge was successful, but he was once again shrouded in great confusion.

"It shouldn't be like this..."

The revenge he imagined was not like this.

"So sad……"

Super Boy felt extremely depressed in his heart, and there was a kind of pain that was similar to Ji's death, but somewhat different, constantly surging in his heart.

"So, what is this feeling?"

Thinking of this, Super Boy raised his hand, pressed his chest tightly, and closed his eyes.

"Ji, I don't understand.

"Could it be that the price of self-generation is to constantly taste different pains?

"Oh, I'm really disappointed.

"Obviously I've just started, and I'm already starting to feel tired."
