Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 606 Drums
End of the meeting.

Everyone immediately made preparations for tomorrow's action.

As the saying goes, sharpening a knife is not the same as chopping firewood.

Tsukiyomi took out his mobile phone, called Tomari Shinnosuke, and left Tokiwa Sogo's room.

She is going to use the power of the police to find out Higao Hitoshi's information.

In modern society, this is almost the simplest and most efficient method.

What's more, it's not the first time they've asked Tomari Shinnosuke for a commission like checking people's information... It's estimated that there will be no less in the future.

As soon as I read this, Yuedu couldn't help clasping his hands together in his heart, and sincerely prayed:
[I hope Brother Jin can get used to it as soon as possible. ]
Immediately, the call was connected.

"Hey, Brother Jin, it's me, I'm Yuedu..."

With the sound of footsteps going downstairs, Yuedu's voice became farther and farther away.

The second to leave the room was Gates.

His pre-mission is to find the Demonic Demon.

Demonized sprites are monsters.

When it comes to monsters, urban legends and ghost stories are usually indispensable.

It just so happened that Sogo Tokiwa knew an expert who knew this well.

His school girl - Yu Kinoshita.

So, what are the latest and hottest urban legends related to the mysterious disappearance of people?

Sogo Tokiwa helped Gates date a school girl.

Gates went to an appointment.

It was Woz who left after that.

After saluting Tokiwa Sogo, he left the waiter gracefully.

Suddenly... persuading an organization.

The task is heavy, but correspondingly, the pressure is not small.

Woz kept calculating in his mind the various developments after the real meeting with the warrior organization, and then wrote similar but different scripts one after another in his mind.

Finally, Tokiwa Sogo got up, waved his hand, used teleportation magic to pack up the furniture used for the meeting, and left the room as well.

"Crack!"

The door is closed, separating the inside and the outside.

There was no one in the room, it was empty, only the sound of the clock hands on the desk advancing, echoing louder and louder in the quiet room.

"Tick tock! Tick tock! Tick tock—!"

……

……

Outside the Earth Purification Ceremony.

For the weird forest that surrounded the earth purification ritual field, the warrior organization has never let down its vigilance and monitoring.

It's just that this monitoring work is not sent out by the Kanto Branch, but by the headquarters of the warrior organization——Yoshino Headquarters sends people to take charge of it full-time.

Of course, since they came to the area under the responsibility of the Kanto Branch, they began to be under the jurisdiction of the Kanto Branch.

Therefore, the object of their reporting work is the Kanto branch.

Then, the Kanto branch will organize the reports and report them to the Yoshino headquarters.

This is the flow.

During the process, the monitoring reports reported by the monitoring personnel to the Kanto branch are reported once a day.

The Kanto Branch reports to the Yoshino Headquarters every Monday.

Today, although there is an abnormal increase in demonized sprites from the outside world again, the strange forest surrounding the earth purification ceremony field has remained unchanged for more than ten years.

There are a total of six monitoring personnel, divided into three groups.

One group during the day, one group at night, and one group on rotation.

The sun was setting, and the two monitors of the day group were recovering the dispersed pan shikigami and recording the information they observed.

One of them is responsible for playing the sound recorded by Pan Shikigami, and the other is responsible for recording.

However, at the end of this stage of work, they were about to release the recovered Panshiki God again, and when they waited for the night team to take turns, when they turned back towards the forest, they found a young man full of ethereal aura standing in front of him. In front of the forest...

Obviously he was standing there, but it gave people a feeling of endless distance, unattainable.

Under the influence of this breath, the scenery in front of me, which has been extremely familiar due to years of observation, suddenly became strange.

The surveillance personnel seem to see the space extending infinitely, and in that endless and vast space, the mysterious and ethereal young man is not looking at a forest, but is confronting a colossal monster composed of earth, rocks and forest .

In this confrontation, it seems that even time has lost its meaning.

Magnificent, magnificent.

When the wind picked up, there was a rustling sound as the leaves rolled, and the black knitted cardigan on the young man floated.

As a result, the picture condensed by time came alive, but the magnificent illusion was also shattered and returned to reality.

The surveillance personnel came back to their senses, seeing the young man raised his foot, as if he wanted to step into the strange forest, they hurriedly stopped him loudly.

"Wait! That forest is dangerous, you can't go in——!"

Amidst the shouts, the young man stopped and turned his head.

"I know."

There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said so.

"You are the warrior organization monitoring this forest."

After being told by the young man about their identities, the faces of the two surveillance personnel couldn't help showing a look of astonishment.

"How do you know...?" They asked subconsciously.

"Don't worry, my representative will visit your Kanto branch tomorrow, and he will give you the answer."

"Who the hell are you?"

"I'm waiting - the Historical Administration."

After finishing speaking, the young man withdrew his gaze, stepped out, and his figure flickered like a phantom into the forest, disappearing.

Seeing this, the two monitors who wanted to ask more questions had to temporarily give up such thoughts.

They looked at each other and acted immediately.

One of the surveillance personnel immediately called the Tachibana Dessert Shop to tell Tachibana Sejiro about the abnormality that happened here and the words of the mysterious young man.

The other monitoring personnel quickly released the panshikis and let them enter the forest to track down the mysterious young man.

However, these disc gods are destined to get nothing.

Because, the young man who entered the forest - Tokiwa Shogo, soon stopped time.

Accompanied by the moving sound of the clock hands resounding in the void, the time-stop realm unfolded, and those wood spirit puppets activated by the arrival of Tokiwa Shogo instantly quieted down, motionless, docile and well-behaved.

But there is a voice that has never been affected by the realm of time stop.

drum!

Moreover, in such a quiet space, the sound of the drum resounded more and more clearly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom—!"

Tokipan Sogo stepped on the sound of the drum, stepped over the sculpture-like wooden puppets, and walked towards the source of the drum sound, the earth purification ritual field where the strange ring ghost disappeared 13 years ago.

Finally, Sogo Tokiwa walked to the center of the Earth Purification Ceremony, where the Taiko Stele disappeared, stopped, closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and carefully perceived the source of the drum sound.

"Boom! Boom! Boom—!"

The rhythm of the drums is unusually steady, heavy, and powerful.

"Boom! Boom! Boom—!"

Tokiwa Shogo concentrated, concentrated, and concentrated again... Finally, he felt the undetectable vibration and undulation of the ground under his feet.

It's like the head of a taiko drum being struck by drumsticks.

One, two, three...

"No! No!"

Suddenly, Sogo Tokiwa suddenly opened his eyes, lowered his head, and stared sharply at the ground under his feet.

"That's not just the sound of drums, it's still the sound of a heartbeat!"
