Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

As the great butler of the Demon King—the reliable attendant trained by the witch Hana for the Demon King, under normal circumstances, you can always trust Woz's efficiency.

No, when Tokiwa Sogo and Tsukiyomi set up the round table needed for the meeting and waited for a while, they heard a humble knock on the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

You don't need to look to know, it's Woz.

He found Gates and brought Gates back to the nine-to-five class, and came to the door of the room of Sogo Tokiwa, who was about to hold a regular meeting.

"Go in." Tokiwa Sogo said.

The door was not locked and was left open just to facilitate the arrival of Woz and Gates.

Gates was not polite, and stepped into the room directly after arriving.

Seeing this, Woz didn't reprimand Gates for being rude, but he didn't follow Gates for being rude either.

He was knocking on the door, and after obtaining the permission of Sogo Tokiwa, he lifted his foot over the door, entered the room, and closed the door by the way.

"Crack!"

The door is closed, and the regular meeting on the "Alien Ringing Ghost Incident" officially begins.

……

At the same time, in Tachibana Dessert Shop, in the studio of the Kanto branch of the warrior organization, with the arrival of Tianmeijing, a meeting to deal with the "Orochi phenomenon" was also held simultaneously.

Tachibana Sejiro looked around at the ghosts sitting on both sides of the long table...

Tailing ghosts, winning ghosts, bang ghosts, majestic ghosts, sky ghosts.

Among them, the ghosts who participated in the earth purification ceremony are still there, which is a blessing.

But time is merciless, at this time, they are no longer young.

Yes, it has been 13 years.

Even the newcomer Hong Gui who just became a ghost back then was close to 40 years old at this time, and his physical condition began to decline, let alone Sheng Gui and Tai Gui who were over 45 years old.

To be honest, for ghosts, a combat profession with a high risk factor, senior fighters like Shenggui and Saigui should have retired, but until this year, they were still fighting on the front line.

However, Wei Chuangui, who was supposed to be at his peak, had already lost the power to transform into a ghost and continue fighting demons due to serious injuries back then, and he has not recovered yet.

Fortunately, he taught an outstanding disciple—Tiangui.

This is a good thing.

But the problem is that in these years, among the younger generation, only Tiangui——Tianmeijing has become a ghost. This can be seen from the scene of this meeting.

There is a serious fault in the new generation of ghosts.

This is not only because fewer and fewer people in modern society are willing to become ghosts to fight demons, but also because, for some reason, the threshold for becoming a ghost has become higher and harder over the years. .

This caused the ghosts of the older generation to delay their retirement.

This is the case with the cutting ghost and the winning ghost.

However, there was another reason why they delayed their retirement and forced themselves to continue fighting on the front line.

That is - not reconciled!

What are they unhappy about?
I only heard Tachibana Sejiro say:
"After the Earth Purification Ceremony that year, although the arrival of the Orochi phenomenon has come to a standstill, the frequency of demonic sprites has also returned to normal... It seems that except for the appearance of the demonic sprites, there are no more boys and concubines around them. It's back to normal, but we all know..."

At this point, Tachibana Sejiro paused, and then said in a heavy tone the fact that has been weighing on them all these years.

"The earth purification ceremony back then, we, failed!"

……

From nine to five, Woz is telling his Majesty the Demon King about his findings.

"The warrior organization doesn't know the history of the knights, they only know that in this timeline of the strange ghost, the earth purification ceremony they tried their best to complete has never been successful.

"The Earth Purification Ritual Field back then has been surrounded by a strange forest—the Forest of Wood Spirits.

"That's right, the wood spirit forest, which is a sign of the coming of the big snake, has always been there, and has always been like a mountain, pressing on the hearts of the warrior organization, but they have nothing to do with the wood spirit forest.

"An ordinary forest of wood spirits is not a forest. It has only one main body. As long as the main body is destroyed, the forest of wood spirits will disappear.

"But the forest of wood spirits that now covers the earth purification ritual field is not a forest of wood spirits with only one wood spirit, but a real forest.

"If you insist, it should be a forest composed of wood spirit forests."

……

Tachibana Sejiro recalled the past at the Kanto branch studio of the warrior organization, and said with a serious expression:
"The forest made up of wood spirit forests has covered it not long after you left the earth purification ritual field.

"They seem to be protecting something... no, they are protecting something, protecting that... alien ghost!
"In addition, the existence of that strange forest is also constantly reminding us that the arrival of the big snake phenomenon has not ended, it just temporarily stopped its arrival."

"So, no matter what the purpose of that alien ghost to take over from Wei Chuan Gui and continue to beat the earth, he is definitely not continuing to purify the earth!
"Over the years, he's been like a sharp sword hanging over all of us, and he doesn't know when it will fall, bringing fatal disaster.

"And now, that sword...

"There are finally signs of falling."

Speaking of this, Tachibana Sejiro's face, besides the heavy sadness, actually showed a little... lightness.

Tachibana Sejiro knew that his mentality was not right, but to be honest, compared to waiting for the unknown, such a definite approach is indeed more practical...

With this thought flashing through his mind, Tachibana Sejiro distributed the report in his hands to the ghosts.

"This is our observation report on the earth purification ritual field surrounded by strange forests over the years. Take a look..."

……

From nine to five, Woz also distributed reports to everyone attending the meeting.

"This report is further sorted out by the warrior organization after discovering the abnormal proliferation of demonized sprites, and after the special personnel have summarized the observation reports over the years.

"I made a copy of them, you can take a look."

In order to obtain the content of this report, Woz hired several batches of professional babysitters to go to Tachibana Dessert Shop as customers for dinner, and kept the people in Tachibana Dessert Shop busy for a while. s things.

Tokiwa Sogo picked up the report and looked at it, and his brows couldn't help frowning immediately.

"Disappeared?" he asked.

"Yes." Woz nodded.

"Since the day of the earth purification ceremony 13 years ago, the strange ring ghosts have disappeared, and the Taiko stele where the ceremony was held has also disappeared. No one knows where they went."

Woz told Tokiwa Shogo the known conclusions.

"The only thing we know is that the forest of wood spirits must be guarding something, and there must be something in that place, but... it's not visible."

"But there is one thing that is clearly visible." Yueyue said thoughtfully.

"That's right." Woz glanced at Yuedu, followed her words, and continued, "There is a voice in that place that has echoed from that year to today."

What is it?

Woz accentuated his tone and read out the highlighted vocabulary in the report word by word.

"drum!"
