Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 618 Calling Names
It is as if the apostle who pursued knowledge had glimpsed the truth.

The moment his eyes meet the blank knight watch on the table, a fiery desire arises spontaneously from the bottom of his heart.

The more he stared, the more Izumi Iori felt vague whispers resounding in his ears, as if countless people were speaking at the same time, the voices overlapped, and the reverberations surged like waves, trying to drown him.

However, it is very strange that Izumi Iori did not notice the existence of "maliciousness".

Although he couldn't hear the specific words clearly, he could understand the meaning of the "voice".

—the watch, calling him.

Breathing heavily, Izumi Iori's eyes were firmly attracted to the blank knight watch.

His reason told him to stay calm.

But his body acted without any reason to block it.

Izumi Iori's arm was like a marionette, trembling and stretching forward, bit by bit reaching for the blank knight watch on the table in front of him.

approaching...

approaching...

It's almost enough...

But right now!
"Oh!"

His right hand suddenly deviated from the track and slammed down on the table next to the watch, making a muffled sound.

The indistinct murmur ceased, and bodily sensations returned.

Although there is still some strange tinnitus, but...

He successfully resisted the "temptation".

Izumi Iori, who had regained control of her body, was panting quickly, and her face was dripping with sweat unconsciously.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fist, took a deep breath, then raised his head and looked at Sogo Tokiwa, questioning him viciously like a ghost.

"--what did you do to me!?"

However, Sogo Tokiwa completely denied his questioning.

"I didn't do anything.

"The one just now is your most authentic instinctive reaction to something you crave, just like the impulse that a person who has been suffering from hunger for more than ten years suddenly sees a free meal. I'm fine.

"As for the reason...

"Mr. Wei Chuu Gui, you have been dreaming about [Official History], right?

"To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised when I heard this information from your father.

"This shows that you can understand our theory more clearly than other people.

"So please calm down and give us a little more trust.

"Or, you can call your father now and ask him for advice?"

Tokiwa Shogo's explanation gradually calmed Izumi Iori's anger.

He thought about it, and decided to call his father according to Sogo Tokiwa's suggestion, and seek his advice.

"……excuse me."

He apologized to Sogo Tokiwa, turned around and walked towards the door.

Watching Izumi Iori leave, Tokiwa Sogo didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth curled up little by little, revealing a smile that was in control.

Behind him, frowning and looking at the back of Izumi Iori who opened the office door and left, Gates couldn't help asking Tokiwa Sogo.

"Aren't you afraid that the leader of the warrior organization will suggest that he refuse?"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Sogo Tokiwa turned his head and comforted Gates very heartily.

"You have to trust Woz's eloquence."

Gates: "..."

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he kept slandering in his heart.

[This kind of big issue can also be solved by eloquence? ]
[Shi Wang, do you trust Woz's eloquence a little too much? ]
He tried to persuade Sogo Tokiwa to be more cautious.

"The King of Time..."

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Tokiwa Sogo's pupils suddenly turned into a pair of silver-white and gold-dyed clocks, and the hands of the clocks turned.

"Tick~"

"Tick~"

The illusory pointer advancing sound, together with Tokiwa Sogo's confident words, reached his ears.

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter whether the leader of the warrior organization gives Mr. Wei Chugui any advice, whether he accepts it or rejects it.

"In the end, the one who makes the decision is always Mr. Wei Blowing Ghost.

"not to mention……

"When Mr. Wei Chuu Gui didn't choose to 'reject' the first time, I had already seen his [future]."

The second rank of Shi Wang, who can predict the future.

Hearing this, Gates was speechless for a moment.

Well, his fault... He actually forgot that, unlike the "violent" power of the savior he had obtained, the power of the devil king newly obtained by Shi Wang was very "convenient" in various senses.

Yes, convenient.

Gates did not expect that one day he would use "convenient" instead of "terrible" to describe the power of the devil.

Obviously, for Tokiwa Shogo today, [the future] is no longer completely unobservable.

What's more, Izumi Iori does not have any power of time, and there is almost no possibility of covering up or interfering with the "future picture".

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been suppressed by the alien timeline on the verge of awakening and unable to break through.

Seeing Sogo Tokiwa pull out a chair and sit down, Gates also pulled out a chair next to Sogo Tokiwa, sat down, emptied his mind, and meditated without speaking or thinking.

And Sogo Tokiwa, who also kept quiet and stopped talking, his brain was spinning rapidly non-stop.

Through previous observations, Tokiwa Shogo is convinced that if he takes the strange knight incident he has experienced before as a reference, then, no matter from which aspect, Izumi Iori has reached the standard of autonomous "awakening".

However, the fact is that Izumi Iori's "awakening" was firmly suppressed before the critical point, and she was still unable to break through.

This made Tokiwa Shogo have to think about a possibility...

The power of the "heterogeneous timeline" has become stronger.

Or...

Is it [I]'s influence on the ring ghost line, which is not as strong as other knight lines?

thinking about-

"Dong dong!"

The knock on the door brought Tokiwa Sogo back to his senses.

Izumi Iori is back.

……

Compared with before going out, Izumi Iori, who came back at this time, looked much calmer.

It seemed that after careful consideration outside the door, he had already made a specific decision.

"...What is the price?" Izumi Iori asked.

"Equivalent exchange."

Tokiwa Sogo replied to Izumi Iori, without changing his face, he said a conjecture that he was not sure about at present.

"I gave you the power you shouldn't have on this timeline, then, after the history is revised, you need to return your power to me as a price, so as to achieve a closed loop and stabilize the established history ...I say that, can you accept it?"

"can."

Izumi Iori nodded, not only did his expression not deteriorate because of Sogo Tokiwa's words, but he relaxed a lot.

Because when he was thinking outside the door before, he had already considered that he might pay such a price, and he was mentally prepared.

Hearing it at this time, not only was it not surprising, but it felt like a huge stone fell to the ground.

On the contrary, if Sogo Tokiwa replied "There is no price", he would feel uneasy.

Thinking of this, Izumi Iori stretched out his hand without hesitation, and took the blank knight watch on the table into his hand.

"when!"

The moment he pressed the start button, a bell rang suddenly in his mind, enlightening him.

Izumi Iori was stunned and stunned, like waking up from a dream.

"Ah, sure enough, the watch is calling me."

The whispers that overlapped and echoed continuously, it turned out that people were calling his name.

[Wow blowing ghost! 】
