Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

[2019]

“Tiandao General Secretary ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ssinging ji ji hing xi ji ji but ah ah ah ah ah !

In the protozoa base, the silent office was broken by a sudden scream.

Negishi opened his eyes suddenly and woke up from his dream with a cry.

Nightmare!

Just now, he undoubtedly had a nightmare!

He dreamed about something that happened in the past...no, a more disastrous version than his past.

He dreamed that no matter what he did over the years, no matter how thorough his plans were, he would fall short at the last step.

He was so angry that he gained the power of the alien Hyper Kabuto, which can travel through time and space.

He was very satisfied.

But when he traveled through time and space and returned to the past, he discovered that Hyper Kabuto was everywhere in the past!

No matter which time point he goes to or which divergence point of key events he travels to, Hyper Kabuto will appear simultaneously, leaving him unable to change anything in the end.

Even if he randomly chooses a time node to travel there, there will be a Hyper Kabuto waiting for him there.

As a result, the more he tried to prove that Hyper Kabuto couldn't intercept him every time, the more Hyper Kabuto he saw during his next time travel.

From one to two;

From two to three;

Then gradually from three to countless.

In the end, as soon as he escaped from Hyper Clock Up and ended his time travel, he found that he was surrounded by countless Hyper Kabuto.

The Hyper Kabutos all turned their gazes to look at him, then slowly raised one hand high, pointing to the sky, and chanted in unison.

Those words stacked up and surrounded Negishi 360 degrees, as if there was only one voice left in the world.

That voice went like this:

[Grandma said, I am walking in the way of heaven, and I am in charge of everything...]

The magnificent chanting ended abruptly, because Negishi could no longer bear it and "escaped" from the dream with a cry of terror.

After a long time, he slowly calmed down.

It was only then that he finally noticed something unusual about the protozoa base.

——It's too quiet.

It shouldn't be so quiet.

Even at night, there are people on duty in the base.

With the commotion he just made, normally someone would have knocked on the door to inquire.

The more he thought about it, the uglier Negishi looked.

problem occurs!

As soon as he thought this, Negishi immediately shouted outside: "Here comes someone!"

There was silence outside the office, no one responded, only his echo echoed in the room.

"Soji!" Negishi shouted again.

Still no one responded.

The Mimic Director General was always on call, but this time, he failed to do so.

Negishi's face became even more ugly.

Then, perhaps thinking of the nightmare just now, Negishi's face quickly became frightened again.

"——Tiandao General Secretary! It's you! You must have found this place, right? Come out! I've already guessed it's you! Why are you still hiding your head? Get out of here!"

Negishi yelled angrily.

But even so, there was still no sound at all outside the door.

Even after he stopped, the surroundings seemed to become even more dead, as if he had been abandoned by the world.

At this moment, Negishi suddenly couldn't help but think of the Mimic Riku Kagami.

He remembered the night before Mimic Riku Kagami died and had been calling him for help.

At that time, he just felt impatient.

Now, he understands the Mimic Riku Kagami somewhat.

But the problem is, Mimic Riku Kagami can still call him for help, so who can he call for help?

Swaruz?

Ha, I’m kidding, Swaruz always came to him when he was in need. How could he go to Swaruz?

In the more than ten years since Swaruz was "missing", he had already searched everywhere he could.

Sure enough, in this world, the only one you can trust is yourself!

Negishi took a deep breath, tried to steady his trembling hands, and approached the office door step by step. Then, he opened it suddenly and quickly stepped away.

"..."

Nothing happened.

There was nothing outside the door.

There are no intruders.

There was no river of blood as imagined.

Not to mention the corpse, Negishi didn't find even a trace of a fight.

He searched along the corridor, his pace gradually increasing.

no……

no……

No... no one anywhere!

The voice-activated lights in the corridor turned on as his footsteps approached, and then turned off as his footsteps moved away.

The panicked figure of Negishi was constantly reflected in the glass windows on both sides.

Finally, he discovered something was wrong.

"Got you!"

Negishi showed a proud smile on his face, contrary to his previous uneasiness.

He followed the clues he worked hard to discover and came to the deepest part of the base, where the Knight System Laboratory is located.

Then, he saw that the door of the prison where the experimental subjects of the Knight System were locked, which he had long forgotten, was open without any restrictions.

Looking at the open prison door, Negishi's eyebrows suddenly frowned tightly.

"Could it be that the purpose of the invaders is to obtain the original materials of this knight system?"

Negishi thought so.

Yes, even now, Negishi has never doubted that, in fact, the experimental subject that he had never taken a serious look at was the source of all the events he had encountered over the years.

Just a little beggar caught on the street that no one wants, what kind of trouble can he cause?

Is it just because he is more resistant than other experimental subjects, lives longer, and has gone through more experimental fields?

No, even if he lives like this for longer, Negishi won't care.

Important experimental material for the Knight System.

But no, all the other experimental materials are dead, and he is the only one left. Of course he is the most important.

A rather strange collection.

This is what Negishi said about him.

In addition, Negishi didn't even know his own name.

If you don't care, you won't check it.

Yes, a wretch that no one wants, a prisoner who is manipulated and asked for whatever he wants in the prison he built. Even if he knows his name, what's the point?

Pointless.

Therefore, as Experimental Subject No. 1, he only needs a nickname.

The armored man.

Moreover, with the completion of the development of the knight system, and as the technology for turning humans into protozoa has become more mature, the role of experimental subjects has become minimal...

While recalling the relevant reports of Experimental Subject No. 1, Negishi cautiously approached the lightless prison.

He is ready to transform into the alien Kabuto at any time.

"Chief Tiandao, I saw you."

Negishi did not stand directly at the door to look into the prison, but leaned against the side wall and approached.

This time, Negishi got a response.

"Whoa! Whoa-!"

Along with the clatter of the chains, a voice that could not speak, but could still hear the surprise, quickly sounded.

When Negishi heard this, he was stunned.

what's the situation?

And why does this voice sound so familiar?

He took a step sideways and stood in the middle of the door, squinting his eyes and looking into the dark prison.

The whites of his eyes turned completely black.

Darkness cannot block the rootworm's compound eyes.

In the prison, the "iron-faced man" whose limbs were bound by chains was also looking longingly at Negishi with a pair of insect-like black compound eyes.

No hatred, no resentment.

What Negishi saw in those eyes was only joy and excitement.

Those eyes are saying -

【help me! 】

"..." Negishi.

Negishi's expression kept changing, and then he didn't know what he thought of, and his expression suddenly became extremely angry.

"waste!"

He knew who the "Iron-Masked Man" in front of him was.

We also know who the "invader" was that turned the protozoan base into what it is today.

Huh, intruder? Wrong, you are a traitor!

If he didn't know the protozoa base well, how could he "empty" the base so quietly?

At this thought, Negishi turned around and shouted angrily:

"——Tachikawa Daigo! Come out!"

After the words fell, after a short silence...

squeak-

The door of the laboratory closest to the prison was pushed open from the inside, and Tachikawa Daigo, wearing a white coat, walked out with a calm expression.

"You traitor!" Negishi yelled through gritted teeth.

In response, Tachikawa Daigo just replied calmly:

"traitor?

“No, Negishi.

"You are the one who really betrayed the protozoa." (End of Chapter)
