Isn't fighting with cards the same as playing cards?

While packing his things, Shiraishi said to Himuro Gentoku: "Director Himuro, what you called your father's name was not a lie. Maybe it's time for you to consider getting back together with your father. "

And Himuro Hantoku also took a deep breath, he stood up slowly, and then shook his head, he said: "I understand what Shiraishi-kun said, but now is not the time.

"If my attitude towards my father changes too quickly, Namba Heavy Industries and Blood Stalk will become suspicious - after all, I have always longed for the position of Prime Minister of Toto before, and it would be strange if I let go of my obsession now. "

Shiraishi had almost finished packing his things at this time. He walked outside the Toto Advanced Materials Research Institute, and then stopped at the door. He turned back and looked at Himuro Gentoku: "Director Himuro , No matter what, just don’t do anything you regret. Prime Minister Taishan’s health and safety are also part of the righteousness.

"If you are in need, call Huang Jinqing, just call Bai Shi.

"I'm here to help you."

Along with the words, a new card also spun out from Shiraishi's wrist. The card drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew towards Himuro Gentoku.

Himuro Hantoku stretched out his hand to catch it.

After recovering the alchemy doll in the corner of the Toto Advanced Materials Research Institute, Shiraishi waved to Himuro Gentoku, then walked out of the door and got on the motorcycle.

He left.

085-Evolt Preparation

A secret testing base hidden somewhere.

Manager Shi Dong walked in here carrying the newly purchased coffee beans, and then slowly sat down at a small round table. Then, he put down the coffee beans in his hand, and then began to use the equipment on the round table to control the coffee. The beans undergo simple processing.

At this moment, a scientific researcher wearing a white protective suit and his face covered by a gas mask also walked out of the depths of the secret base.

"Evolt, your plan hasn't progressed to the next stage yet, has it? If you come to see me now, aren't you afraid that your secret will be exposed?" The person who made the voice stood behind the store manager Shi Dong, and his voice It looks a little old, but it is still sonorous and powerful.

Manager Ishido, while grinding the coffee beans in front of him, shook his head and replied, "Don't be so cold-blooded, Mr. Katsuragi. It's rare that we have cooperated for so long. It's normal for me to come and visit you a little." Something?"

Katsuragi Shinobi.

Katsuragi Takumi's father had already "committed suicide".

However, Shinobu Katsuragi, known as Mr. Katsuragi, did not meet with the store manager Ishido regularly. He asked again in an almost emotionless tone: "Evolt, what is the purpose of your visit this time?"

Store manager Shi Dong shook his head.

He stopped grinding the coffee.

"Build Driver." Manager Shi Dong's pupils glowed red, and his voice changed from the playful and interesting voice of Shi Dong Soichi to the deep and powerful Evolt's original voice.

Shinobu Katsuragi slowly took off his mask, revealing his old cheeks, and he said: "Didn't the Build Driver produced earlier have been given to Kiryu Sento and the amnesiac Takumi to use as planned?

"Why do you still mention the name Build Driver now?"

Manager Ishido stood up slowly, with a smile on his face. He said: "Mr. Katsuragi, you are such a noble man who forgets things so much. How could you forget so quickly that your son dismantled the Evol Driver?" ”

Katsuragi Shinobu shook his head and replied: "Are you saying that you now need the Evol Driver, or at least the power of a similar Build Driver, to be able to continue to implement the plan to [create a new world]?"

Manager Ishido shook his head and laughed a few times: "Don't get too carried away, Mr. Katsuragi, Build Driver is just a parody of Evol Driver after all.

“Even if we can barely be regarded as partners in [creating a new world], I will not admit the status of [fake and shoddy products] because of this.

"[Similar power]...

"Don't tell jokes like this anymore. I'm very afraid of accidentally awakening human emotions through such jokes, and then laughing myself to death~"

Then, Store Manager Ishido also came to Shinobu Katsuragi. He patted Shinobu Katsuragi on the shoulder, and then said: "No matter what you are planning, Mr. Katsuragi, I only express my point of view - I need Build Driver, Even if it's just as a temporary substitute for Evol Driver, I need to get the power of Build Driver as soon as possible.

"Kiryu Sento will not provide me with this power, and Katsuragi Takumi betrayed me, so now his father is needed to do this."

And Katsuragi Shinobu also looked into the eyes of store manager Ishido, and he said, "If you put your lack of strength out in the open, aren't you afraid that I will betray you like Qiao?"

Manager Ishidō sat back at the small round table. He continued to handle the coffee, then slowly lowered his head and replaced his voice with Soichi Ishidō: "You are different from other humans, Mr. Katsuragi, as a station manager One of the scientists at the top of human wisdom actually sees farther than any human being.

"Perhaps as early as the moment the sky wall rose, Mr. Katsuragi, you have foreseen the present ten years later, and even the more distant future...

“And, you prepare for the future you envision.

“I understand that at all times.

"So, worrying about Mr. Katsuragi's betrayal is naturally a very important thing."

After a short pause, Store Manager Shi Dong picked up the coffee cup and looked at his work carefully: "But...

"Mr. Katsuragi, no matter what you are planning, there is one thing I can clearly understand - your obsession with the [New World] is very strong.

"You even did not hesitate to stay away from your beloved wife and son for this, and stayed anonymous for ten years.

"You even didn't hesitate to witness your son's memory being wiped away and becoming a false hero who was used.

"For inferior creatures like humans, ten years and being separated from their loved ones is already a very high price no matter what.

"Whether you understand the power of the Blood clan and make up your mind to surrender to me, Evolt, and plan to create the [New World] with me; or you have hidden secrets in the [New World] plan and are trying to use it in the process. Just use my power to achieve your goals...

“Only one thing is certain.

"Mr. Katsuragi, you must execute plans related to the [New World] at all costs."

Then, the store manager Ishido put down his coffee cup with great satisfaction, and he said: "Now, Mr. Katsuragi, we all understand that the one who can complete the [New World] plan——"

"just me.

“So, there’s no way you won’t help me.

“At least, you can’t help me until the preparations for the [New World] plan are completed.

"As for after that...

"Mr. Katsuragi, it's not too late for us to have further conversations until then."

Katsuragi Shinobi stood there, silent.

I have to admit that Evolt is right.

After learning the truth about the Sky Wall and gradually understanding the power of the Blood clan and Pandora's Box, Shinobi Katsuragi had already made plans for the future.

【New World Plan】.

Collect enough powerful power to trigger a miracle that transcends the laws of physics, so that all tragedies since the birth of Sky Wall will be eliminated by the power of that miracle, and all despair and pain will never exist.

This is the [New World] envisioned by Shinobu Katsuragi.

To do this, he really needs to draw on the power of Evolt.

Moreover, even if Evolt says "needs strength" now, it does not mean that Evolt can be defeated——

Shinobu Katsuragi also understands the Blood clan's ability to liquefy genetic sequences for escape and rebirth.

Since cooperating with Evolt, he has also learned many past events related to the Blood clan and Mars.

Therefore, if you cannot find the right time, even if you have the power to defeat Evolt, you may not be able to truly kill him.

Indeed, as Evolt said, it is not the time to betray Evolt yet.

Shinobu Katsuragi put on the gas mask again, walked towards the depths of the secret base, and said, "When you visit next time, I will give you a copy of the Build Driver."

"Mr. Katsuragi." Store manager Ishido said.

Katsuragi Shinobi turned his head: "What's the matter?"

Store manager Ishido took out a full bottle of Cobra, shook it a little, and then he smiled and said to Shinobi Katsuragi: "By the way, Mr. Katsuragi, please make a full bottle of [Rider System] that can be used as a universal accessory.

"Although it uses the power of the Build Driver, I still like to use the Cobra single bottle to transform."

Then, store manager Shi Dong also poured the coffee he made directly on the ground, then collected the coffee beans, and then walked out: "Well, Ciao~"

086-Shiraishi’s plan

Shiraishi wants to destroy the New World Plan.

The evening breeze blew on Shiraishi's face.

Shiraishi fell into thought.

As time goes by, as Shiraishi comes to this world and continues to listen to the inner voices of others, gradually, Shiraishi's thoughts and purposes quietly change in the process.

At first, Shiraishi only regarded the world as a chessboard of the shadow. As a chess piece controlled by the shadow, he just hoped to find the power to resist the shadow on this chessboard.

However, when he got along with people in this world, he heard a lot of trust and expectations for Baishi and Huang Jinqing from people's hearts.

Shiraishi understands that those who get along with him have absolutely sincere feelings for him.

At that moment, Shiraishi gradually began to feel that life in this world might also be his second life, another rebirth after death.

He began to treat the people around him sincerely.

——As long as the people around him treat him sincerely.

The pursuit of power is no longer his only thing.

The heroes in those memories were still dazzling, but this time, Shiraishi seemed to see their outstretched hands, and Shiraishi seemed to see the opportunity to fight alongside them.

This feels good.

Then, as those who once had a tragic fate gained the possibility of resisting their fate under the influence of Shiraishi, Shiraishi also felt that he seemed to be gradually integrating into the world, and his destiny was gradually intertwined with the people of this world. Together.

And just today, when he saw himself appearing in Himuro Hantoku's dream, Shiraishi also understood that it was time for him to take the initiative to do something.

Perhaps, on the way to gain the power to resist fate, it is also a very good thing to do something within your ability with your partners.

Rather, being able to become partners with them is actually a very good thing.

In the previous world line, Evolt's plan could be said to have been executed almost perfectly.

Even if an unexpected event occurred in the process [Kiriyu Sento fully activated the power of the genius bottle and then exploded with unimaginable power], Evolt's plan did not fail because of this.

Rather, Evolt even awakened human emotions as a blessing in disguise, and gained even more power as a result.

Facing such a powerful Evolt, in the original world line, it seems that only a miracle that transcends all physical laws and requires the [New World Plan] to merge the two worlds can completely defeat it.

But, it's different now.

The arrangements made by Evolt in advance are being gradually disintegrated by Shiraishi, who has a massive amount of information. Therefore, the road for Evolt to regain strength and go through those evolutionary stages again will become much more difficult than before.

It is even possible that he will not be able to recover to his full body.

Not to mention further evolution.

Not only that...

Shiraishi also has another possibility.

alchemy.

The essence of alchemy is equivalent exchange.

As long as a price of sufficient weight is placed on one end of the scale, then a matching desire can be realized on the other end of the scale.

If he can collect enough energy for the Philosopher's Stone, then without opening the door to a new world or merging the two worlds, he can also make all tragedies and pain disappear with the power of the Philosopher's Stone. .

After all, the tragedies and pain happening in today's world have not yet become irreversible.

To do this, Shiraishi needs to do at least two things.

First, reconstruct the Philosopher’s Stone.

If Shiraishi's memory is correct, the Philosopher's Stone held by Huang Jinqing is actually a slightly defective Philosopher's Stone that has omitted the [yellowing] step.

Even though it has almost the same power as the Philosopher's Stone, it also brought the curse of immortality and gold to Huang Jinqing.

To be on the safe side, it is best not to use the Philosopher's Stone that Huang Jinqing currently holds to hold world-saving rituals.

And even if this is not the case, in order to get rid of the control of Lust and Pride, Baishi will sooner or later need to completely strip away the power of the Golden King sent by Lust, and then use the knowledge he gained to refining the Philosopher's Stone.

No matter what, it is necessary for Shiraishi to reconstruct the Philosopher's Stone and use his own power to go back to the path of [blackening], [albino], [yellow], and [red].

Second, look for firewood.

Even if the world today is not so bad that it has reached the point of purgatory, a sufficient price still needs to be paid to make up for the misfortune brought to the world in the ten years since the advent of the Sky Wall.

To this end, Shiraishi must find enough energy that can be used as a price to pay.

And Evolt of the Blood clan is the best target.

The life form of the Blood clan itself contains powerful power - if Shiraishi remembers correctly, Killbus of the Blood clan successfully reconstructed Pandora's Box just by using the power of Evolt remaining in Wanzhang Ryuuga's body.

And if Evolt is gradually regaining his strength now, he will definitely be able to provide more energy.
