Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 619 Be My Accomplice

The originally intermittent dream fragments complete the puzzle at this time, becoming clear and coherent.

Izumi Iori remembered everything.

He originally thought that this process was similar to watching a movie, and he would at most have a certain sense of substitution.

But in fact, what he remembered was not only "memory", but even the "emotions" in those memories were completed.

In other words, at this moment, Izumi Iori has another life in a real sense.

He tightly held the Whispering Ghost Knight watch in his hand, the expression on his face was very complicated for a while, and it took a while to calm down.

And at this time, when he went to see Sogo Tokiwa again, his mentality obviously changed again...

That was a change that Sogo Tokiwa liked.

He saw trust in Izumi Iori's eyes.

Trust, what a dangerous word.

Senior Wei Fugui, you can't escape... Tokiwa Sogo said with a smile: "Mr. Wei Fugui, it seems that there is no need for me to tell you about the need to correct the history of this world."

"Yeah." Izumi Iori nodded, "Let the disaster that should not have lasted until today end when it should end, so as to rewrite the tragedies caused by that disaster over the years... Your so-called [correction] is just this one time okay?"

"Yes." Tokiwa Sogo affirmed.

Izumi Iori: "..."

He bowed his head in silence for a moment, then looked up at Tokiwa Sogo again.

"I want to ask you a question..."

Having said that, Izumi Iori immediately emphasized.

"But I declare in advance that I have no intention of reneging on my debts, and I don't think there is anything unfair about the price you want to charge."

Hearing this, Tokiwa Sogo's eyes widened a little, surprised, and then stunned.

"...Well, I probably know what you want to ask."

"In that case, can you answer me?" Izumi Iori looked at Sogo Tokiwa seriously and said.

He is very puzzled, since it is already certain that his life trajectory in the [New World] will deviate considerably from the [Official History], then, is the changed [History] really still a [Official History]?

He really wanted to know, what is the criterion for the History Administration to judge [correct history] that does not need to be revised?
"Shi Wang, in your eyes, what kind of [history] is the [correct history]?" Izumi Iori asked with a serious expression.

To Izumi Iori's question, Tokiwa Sogo thought about it and answered him.

"First, the world must not lose its future;
"Second, civilization cannot live without a future;

"The third and last point..."

At this point, Tokiwa Sogo smiled and continued.

"The history we recognize is [the correct history]."

When hearing the first point, Izumi Iori was thoughtful;
When I heard the second point, Izumi Iori realized something;
When he heard the third point, Izumi Iori was about to express his agreement, but just as he nodded his head halfway, he froze in mid-air, raised his head in astonishment, and asked Tokiwa Sogo.

"Did I hear it wrong? Tell me, what is the third point?"

"I said, the history we recognize is [the correct history]."

"Uh, is this... a joke?"

"No, I'm serious."

"..."

"..."

During the long silence, a nameless anger burned more and more in Izumi Iori's heart.

"The King of Time! What do you think of history? A little girl who you let yourself dress up as?" He asked angrily.

But facing Izumi Iori's questioning, Tokiwa Shogo had an innocent and surprised expression on his face.

"What are you angry about? Mr. Wei Blowing Ghost, obviously, you are also a member of [us]... Are you dissatisfied with yourself?"

As soon as these words came out, Izumi Iori's rich expression froze in an instant.

"???"

Then, he looked at Sogo Tokiwa with a look of "What are you talking about?", opened his palms and raised them up to stop him.

"Wait...why can't I understand what you said? Since when am I a member of your History Administration?"

"what?"

Hearing this, Tokiwa Sogo also looked at Izumi Iori with a "What are you talking about?" expression, which can be described as a one-to-one replica.

"I can't understand what you said? When did I say that you are from our History Administration?"

Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he suddenly realized.

"Oh, of course, you can be too."

At this point, Sogo Tokiwa immediately showed a bright smile on his face, and his expression changed extremely smoothly.

During this period, Izumi Iori was stunned for a while, question marks and exclamation marks appeared on his head one after another.

And Sogo Tokiwa looked at Izumi Iori expectantly, urging him.

"How is it? Mr. Wei Blowing Ghost, do you want to join us? Let me know..."

Seeing that Sogo Tokiwa paused after speaking, and opened his mouth to continue urging, Izumi Iori quickly raised his palm again and pushed forward continuously, making Sogo Tokiwa stop his words immediately and let him take a good rest.

"Wait... wait, wait! Don't talk!"

Hearing this, Tokiwa Sogo raised his eyebrows, and when he achieved his goal, he smiled silently, did not speak again, and just quietly looked at Izumi Iori who was in a mess of thoughts.

It took a long time for Izumi Iori to sort out his thoughts and react.

"...You are secretly changing concepts."

"You got emotional first."

Tokiwa Shogo smiled calmly, neither denying what Izumi Iori said, nor feeling ashamed of what he had just done.

Izumi Iori: "..."

He took several deep breaths in a row, and then showed Sogo Tokiwa that he had calmed down with a deadpan face.

"Okay, I've calmed down...Shi Wang, can you tell me now, what do you mean by the 'third point'?" Izumi Iori asked seriously.

However, Tokiwa Sogo said: "I am not lying or joking, Mr. Weibuki, you are indeed one of [us]."

After the words fell, Tokiwa Sogo deliberately stopped and waited for a while, and found that Izumi Iori didn't get emotional again, but waited quietly for him to speak, then smiled and continued.

"Mr. Wei Chuu Gui, I told you before that in this world, only you are qualified to snatch the land purification ceremony from the hands of the strange ringing ghost.

"That is to say, if you don't cooperate, then even I cannot stop the big snake before it erupts completely if the ceremony really fails.

"And if you don't recognize the [New World] after the revision of the heterogeneous history, then how can you do your best, even risk your life, to welcome the arrival of the [New World]?
"What do you want to protect...

"What do you want to protect...

"What do you want to achieve...

"We go out to save the world, and there are always all sorts of similar reasons.

"And the reason why everyone is willing to follow me is because of the direction I am going, and the new world I want to create is exactly what they yearn for and expect."

Having said that, Tokiwa Sogo got up from his seat, looked sincerely into the eyes of Izumi Iori across the long table, and extended an invitation to him.

"After correcting the alien timeline this time, I will realize a world without demons.

"How is it? Mr. Wei Blowing Ghost, do you want to come with us?"

A... world without demonized sprites?
Sougo Tokiwa's words made Izumi Iori subconsciously imagine this possibility.

If we follow the analogy of what Tokiwa Shogo previously admitted, "Let the Orochi end at the time when it should end in the original history, then all the tragedies caused by the demonization of the Orochi phenomenon over the years will be rewritten", then...

If the Demonic Demons did not exist from the beginning, what would happen to those ghosts who died fighting against the Demonic Demons?And what will happen to those countless people who have been eaten by demonized demons from ancient times to the present?
Even, not talking about the past, just talking about the present, Izumi Iori's mind can immediately show the voice and smile of a companion he will never see again, as well as a huge list of victims.

And as long as he thinks that they may get a new life because of the disappearance of the demon, Izumi Iori's heart can't help but get hot.

He couldn't help but extend his hand to Sogo Tokiwa who agreed with the invitation...

But halfway through reaching out, he stopped.

Stopped by his rationality.

As he had resisted the call of the blank knight's watch earlier.

"... What is the price?" he asked.

The problem, is the problem of déjà vu.

So Tokiwa Sogo's answer did not change.

"Equivalent exchange." He said, "Since the demonized demon will not be born again, then the ghost that was born to fight against the demonized demon will not be born again... In other words, I will be born in the new world At the same time, take away all the ghost's power.

"This is a secret that cannot be revealed to the public.

"Because people who don't have other timeline memories can't understand and accept this theory.

"Therefore, we will only choose to tell a part of the truth, and match it with the right amount of lies, so that they can help us realize our new world.

"As for our real purpose, we must keep it from all those who cannot understand.

"So, Mr. Blowing Ghost..."

At this point, Tokiwa Sogo once again sent a more genuine invitation to Izumi Iori.

"Are you going to be our accomplice?"

"..." Izumi Iori was silent for a while, and said, "My father said that besides King Shi, you have another title..."

"Indeed."

"Demon King."

"I'm here."

"You are really a demon king..."

"so?"

Izumi Iori didn't answer any more, but stretched his arms forward again, tightly holding the inviting hand of Sogo Tokiwa.

He became an accomplice of the Demon King.
