I, the Stand-in, Kamen Rider

"Ah, what a pity." Liuli rubbed her head.

"What kind of computing power is it to be able to play games with Ex-Machinas to this extent..." Rick couldn't help but think.

"Ah, it's my turn." While thinking, Rick switched places with Liuli, and then started playing chess.

At present, the three of them have not won in Shubi's hands-mainly because there is no reason why they must win, otherwise Gu Chengxiu would use his ability to predict the future to cheat.

"But...you obviously can't beat Hubby—why do you keep betting?" Hubby asked a super rough question.

Liuli: "Hurry up Ah Xiu, use your invincible power of light to tell her what it means to win!"

"...Let me go..." Gu Chengxiu sighed.

Rick asked back: "Who said you can't win?"

Although the three of them couldn't beat Shubi——

"Liu Li put you in a hard fight. Didn't you also make moves that you thought about for a long time in the previous few games?" Rick raised the corner of his mouth, "Besides, it's not you who said that as long as I win, I can give Do I have the information I want?"

"Liar..." Shubi said softly, "The information that Rick wants...Huby, give it all to Rick."

There's nothing Rick can't possibly miss—he's a pretty smart guy.

"... Rick... has worked hard."

Gu Chengxiu turned his head and looked at the sky outside the water curtain.

"The current planetary environment...for humans...is fatally harsh." Huby said, "As far as living things...surviving...is abnormal."

For humans, it has never been unusual.

Gu Chengxiu sighed inwardly.

There has never been a so-called "natural disaster" that can completely defeat human beings.

The one who can truly destroy human beings is only human beings themselves.

"Such a change—correction, is a great cause—the reason why it can be done is because of Rick's [heart]...will."

Hubby looked a little trembling, but still looked straight into Rick's eyes, "—no matter what Rick thinks...that's [objective fact]"

"Isn't it good..."

Kojou settled down as if nothing had happened, and then said, "The will to do something is very important. But--I understand another thing, so I won't say it."

Rick's will, how should I put it...

For Gu Chengxiu, it was "impossible".

He is not sure, there is no way to do that.

He can fight to protect others from harm.

But want to protect people without harming perpetrators?

Gu Chengxiu didn't have such a broad mind.

Rather, Gu Chengxiu has already killed the demon species, beastman species, blood-sucking species and other races that are considered food for humans.

Although he let go of a few of the orcs the first time, but the second time when he heard that the other party used humans as food, Kojoo couldn't bear it at all.

——Gu Chengxiu directly launched the killer, and the fifteen orc species that attacked at that time even included two blood-bad individuals were all killed.

and so--

"Rick..." Gu Chengxiu asked, "Do you have something to protect even if you want to sacrifice others?"

"..." Rick was silent for a long time, "That kind of thing—"

"That kind of thing - don't look at me, I think I don't have it. In fact, it's best not to have it." Gu Chengxiu smiled indifferently, "I think, rather than sacrificing others to protect something, it's better to think about it first. Sacrifice yourself."

"But there are people who want me to go against my principles and want to protect." Gu Chengxiu looked outside the water curtain, and the black and gray storm didn't seem to stop so quickly, "Aren't you the same?"

Rick's chess hand froze.

And Gu Chengxiu still looked out of the water curtain.

Under this black and gray storm, no living thing can survive—the fate of waiting for these living things is to be corroded by spirit bones.

Whether it is birds, animals, insects...

How long can this planet last like this?

Marrow explosion, the zeroth protection of the void...

Such weapons of mass destruction are constantly being developed, and the flames of war are raging...

How long can the creatures here last?

For the first time, Gu Chengxiu felt how difficult the so-called "saving the world" is.

However, this time, there is no way to do the little things in front of me.

Under such power, human beings - as fragile as paper - can survive, but can they really see the day of peace coming?

"It's obvious that Rick is very powerful...why won't you accept it...?" Hubby asked Rick.
