Chapter 34: Undercurrent
"A child?"
Charlotte saw the boy being held by a girl not far away. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of distrust flashed through the gap. "The confession of a minor is not very credible, not to mention that he looks only five years old? Or maybe he is only five years old?" Four years old.”
"This child is five years old and his name is Wan Liu." Meng Fangming crossed the cordon and said, "His family lives near here, and he happened to pass by when the insect plague happened. He told us that the zerg hijacked him, and then A famous folk knight saved his life.”
"Interesting." Charlotte said as she walked towards the police car: "Your police station should arrange more police training in this area, otherwise there may be another child having an accident one day."
"In the final analysis, it is your Knight Foundation's job to eliminate and prevent zerg attacks on the public. Besides, our police station has already arranged a lot of training police personnel in this housing area." Meng Fangming followed him and said: "I didn't see that your foundation arranged for special agents to come over."
Charlotte remained silent and walked to the police car.
Qing Mo, who was holding the little boy in his arms, saw the task force approaching and stood up in an inexplicable panic, "Hello, sir."
"Don't be nervous, we're just here to ask a few questions."
Charlotte's eyes naturally swept over the two siblings, and couldn't help but stay on the little boy for a few seconds. A trace of unnoticeable surprise flashed in his eyes, and then it disappeared in an instant and returned to normal.
The little boy who happened to meet his eyes seemed to be keenly aware of the strange look in his eyes, but he did not change anything and was still eating the lollipop with an innocent look.
Charlotte paused and asked, "Which one of you is the witness?"
On the side, Meng Fangming did not interfere with the other party's inquiry.
"I...I, I am the witness."
Wan Liu replied with his face raised, a lollipop in his mouth, his voice was childish, and his words were obviously even more unclear.
"Uncle, are you also a Kamen Rider?"
Charlotte smiled slightly and said awkwardly but politely: "No, uncle is a task force, and we also serve the foundation and the people."
"Oh, but I heard others say that the task force members are all the fittest ones who have been eliminated. They don't have the ability to become Kamen Riders, so they can only join the task force in the end."
Wan Liu said innocently. The lollipop was in his mouth, sometimes on the left cheek, sometimes on the right side.
Charlotte's smile froze, and she immediately adjusted her mood, "Kid, you said you were a witness, but have you seen what the Kamen Rider's capable person looks like?"
Wan Liu rolled his eyes and thought for a long time before he finally choked out a sentence: "Oh, I can't seem to remember this clearly. Sorry, uncle from the task force."
"Can you really not remember?" Charlotte asked again: "Why don't you think carefully about whether he had canceled the transformation at that time?"
"Lifted."
Hearing this, Charlotte immediately asked: "Then what? Did you see his appearance?"
"I can't remember clearly. He looks young." Wan Liu said, "But he is older than my sister."
"Gone?"
Meng Fangming next to him couldn't help but interject.
Wan Liu thought for a moment: "No, that's all I know."
Charlotte was speechless, turned around and waved to the assistant: "Take the two of them to make a transcript, and you can leave after finishing it."
The sky was getting dark, and the reporters filming in the alleys on both sides left one after another. The surrounding houses gradually became brightly lit, and the residents locked their doors tightly, always on guard against hidden dangers at night.
After finishing the notes, the siblings also walked towards the depths of the housing area.
According to the little boy's description, this folk knight is indeed the previous sexy pink knight, but why does he appear here? And got information about the insect disaster that was not even detected by the knight system.
"Team Xia, please tell Team Leader Li that I may be late for tonight's meeting."
Meng Fangming gathered the team and shouted to the task force who was still surveying the site before leaving.
Charlotte nodded, indicating that he understood. Then, he turned around and continued to follow the team members to inspect the scene and collect the debris left at the scene.
After all the police station's convoy left the scene, Charlotte raised her hand and said: "Okay, okay, these test data are enough."
"Collect the team."
"yes."
The task force formed its formation and left the scene with the equipment.
...
At this time, in a quiet house in the bungalow area.
Qing Mo took off his peaked cap, and his long hair was draped loosely on her shoulders, partially covering her face. She asked Wan Liu, "Let me ask you, why would Airede's identity be exposed at the door of the house?"
Everyone knows that in this housing area, identities cannot be revealed unless absolutely necessary. There's no way Eled doesn't know this.
Unless someone asked him to do so.
The only person who could make him do such stupid things was Wan Liu, a guy who caused trouble all day long.
Because the two of them are friends who talk about everything, have a close relationship, help each other, and have great trust.
Seeing his brother's silence, Qing Mo knew that she had guessed correctly, "Why do you do this?"
"Because I can't bear to see other men approaching you, especially this guy who keeps sending you home over and over again."
At this time, Wan Liu's tone suddenly became mature, and his eyes were cold, as if he was no longer a five-year-old child.
"What?"
Qing Mo was stunned.
Wanliu didn't tell his sister that that guy was a Kamen Rider.
If you tell me, according to the character of a person like my sister, you will definitely expose your flaws in front of the other party, and then you will be in trouble.
Qing Mo continued: "You knew it was risky, but you still let Aired go. Aren't you friends? Aren't you sad when you see your friend die?"
Wan Liu said with a ruthless face: "Sister, our race is originally a group of emotionless creatures. The same goes for you. You always behave silently and have no sense of existence in front of outsiders, just like an emotionless machine. . And I just behave in a different way. Ered's death cannot make me sad, because in my eyes, death just means the end of life."
Hearing these words, Qing Mo panicked. She hurriedly took her brother's hand and pushed him into the room opposite the door, still talking like broken words.
"No, you can't become like them. We have traveled all over the world and changed so many identities just to fit into today's world. How can you become like those guys!"
After saying that, she closed the door and locked it.
"Just stay in this room and reflect on it."
Qing Mo locked the door.
At this time, deep voices came from the other four rooms.
"Listen to what your brother said, isn't that what we are like..."
"Kalekalie is cold-blooded and ruthless, and likes the pleasure of killing..."
"Jiejie, we have always been like this, and we should be like this..."
Behind the door, Wan Liu sat on the ground with his back against the locked door.
He whispered in a low voice: "Why do we have to integrate into this world instead of letting the world adapt to our existence——"
...
The city lights up, and the stars light up the vast sky.
Gao Chen was alone at home, eating instant noodles bought from a convenience store and reading yesterday's expired newspaper.
When the noodles were finished, not even the soup was left.
Then, open the consciousness interface.
[Available attributes]: 10
[Suitable Level]: 004/200
[Features]: Knight reading card, battle data analysis, drive upgrade card (new)
These are all trophies obtained from the battle just now.
"Drive upgrade card?"
Gao Chen's eyes lit up. Doesn't the literal meaning mean to increase the power of the driver and upgrade the Kamen Rider form?
Open the introduction.
'This feature can upgrade the drive form'
'AVAILABLE FOR DECADE BELT'
'Upgrade requirements, each form corresponds to a different fitness level'
'Basic form (level 00)'
'Passion Form (Level 50)'
'God's main card form (level 80)'
'21 God Main Card Form (Level 100)'
These are the relatively normal forms of the Imperial Cavalry.
But the level gap between the latter three is ridiculously large.
Not to mention the last one, 21K, who is strong on the outside but weak on the outside and has strong paper data in actual combat.
Just in terms of the strength shown in the play between the purple lantern and the old version of the ancestors, the gap is not big.
Regardless of the data, judging from the actual combat results, the two basically have no defeat.
To say there is a difference between them.
It should be that the purple light form is stronger in single combat.
No need to insert cards to copy all knight skills.
And has mandatory FFR!
Hitting and hitting can turn enemy knights into weapons.
If faced with a group of knights, the advantage of this skill will be even more obvious.
In conjunction with the Emperor Cavalry's own stealth, flash, phantom slash, and clone skills, these are special rogue duel skills.
Even if there is a group fight of ten people on the opposite side, with 4 clones, and then cooperate with the forced FFR, the enemy might as well choose to fight alone.
And the most outrageous thing is that the imperial knight's skills in this form have no CD, which is equivalent to the unlimited firepower of a certain MOBA, and there is no pre-casting swing.
If the purple light form is really put into MOBA games.
In Gao Chen's opinion, the Imperial Cavalry in this form is simply a PVP plug-in.
The fighting style of the God Lord is more PVE-oriented, suitable for clearing the jungle and challenging the BOSS in the dungeon. In the play, this form did kill many more non-knight monsters than the purple lantern.
The skills are all activated based on the abilities of other main riders, and they are dual-material versions.
The back row outputs big moves, the knight has all kinds of kicks, and it also has a special form of giant god, which raises its PVE limit by several levels.
In summary, Purple Lantern is suitable for single-handedly challenging knights, while the old version of God Lord is suitable for defeating monsters, and the latter has stronger statistics.
As for 21K, Gao Chen didn't think about it.
However, I glanced at the introduction interface.
Now he doesn't seem to have to worry about which one is better, because at his current level, he doesn't deserve to have any of them.
"We are only at level 4 now. If we kill one level 3 zerg at a time and the level increases by one level, then I will have to kill 46 more?"
It's not too difficult. Gao Chen did the math. If you encounter high-level bugs in the future, the level will increase much faster. Maybe you can reach level 50 without having to reach 46.
Then, Gao Chen added the remaining attributes to the three major items, and the values came to 'Physical Strength 25', Explosion 20' and Strength 25' respectively.
After these days of training and attribute accumulation, Gao Chen has now passed the co-police assessment, which will definitely be a matter of minutes.
But the question is, given his current situation, if things develop beyond his control in the future, will he still have a chance to enter the police station?
...
Knight Foundation.
The atmosphere in the conference hall was solemn, and all the departments involved in the investigation team had arrived.
In addition to Yuan Zhenghua, there was also an executive transferred from the south. Li Boyuan, deputy director of the Security Bureau, has been here for a few days.
"Director Li, will you host this meeting, or shall I?" Yuan Zhenghua asked.
Li Boyuan replied: "Come on, try to focus on the key points."
"Okay, let's start today's meeting."
Yuan Zhenghua recorded what the deputy director said. Then, he pressed it, retracted the pen core, coughed twice and said: "The superiors attach great importance to the work progress of our investigation team, so Director Li is invited to come to our branch to provide work guidance. Everyone welcomes you with applause."
Everyone present looked at each other, and then burst into thunderous applause.
Li Boyuan didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
After finishing the necessary prelude, Yuan Zhenghua began to get down to business.
He looked at the technical department responsible for the research work of the investigation team: "Dr. Ma, how is the progress of your research?"
The study of changes in insect disasters has been included in the scope of the investigation team's work. Therefore, the technical department and the three combat groups are now considered a whole.
"The research data we obtained showed that they may have come from the seaside and Songhua City area, but after subsequent analysis, we discovered the genetic characteristics of the zerg from other regions, but their genomes are more complete and more fully evolved. .”
Dr. Ma Xin stood up to report, and Mr. Chen on the side handed over a document: "We used the genes of the zerg from various places in the database and used computers to reorganize the genes of these zerg.
It was found that their ancestors had 68 pairs of autosomes that control the genetic characteristics of organisms, as well as 12 sex chromosomes, and tens of thousands of gene blocks were identified.
These gene blocks always appear in the same order on the same chromosome in the zerg genomes in these databases.
And these gene blocks are completely consistent with the evolved zerg that appeared in Beiqiao's jurisdiction. In other words, they are likely to be the ancestors of the zerg from all over our country! "
After listening, everyone present was talking a lot.
Li Boyuan frowned. As a person with a capable background, he naturally understands what this research result means.
For so many years, humans didn't know where the zerg came from.
Some say they come from extraterrestrial life, some say they are ancient creatures on earth, and some say they are the product of human nuclear pollution.
However, researchers all over the world have been studying it for hundreds of years, but they have not been able to come up with a result.
Now, where the zerg come from, where they come from, and why they come, these answers seem to be about to be revealed.
"Well done."
Li Boyuan slowly said: "I will report your research progress to the south. But our current research progress is still too slow. I hope that at the next meeting, I can hear that you have found a way to deal with these matrices. "
"Yes, we promise not to disappoint our superiors!" Dr. Ma said forcefully.
After Director Li finished speaking, Yuan Zhenghua looked at the combat team responsible for the investigation: "Team Leader Li, do you have any new progress?"
Li Xunde, who was sitting with several team members and a chief detective of the police station, seemed to be in a daze until he heard someone calling him and he stood up suddenly.
"Team Leader Li?" Yuan Zhenghua was not satisfied with his attitude. "Excuse me, has your team made any new discoveries?"
"Oh, we--"
Li Xunde awkwardly reached out to pick up the work summary report, and then continued: "We did find a suspicious person through the informant."
As he spoke, he glanced at Meng Fangming next to him.
Gao Chen, they already have all the information on this suspect. This guy actually lives across from Inspector Meng, and the relationship between the two families seems to be good.
Therefore, he never disclosed this information to Meng Fangming.
"His name is Gao Chen, and he just graduated from Beiqiao No. 3 Middle School in Qinggang City." Li Xunde said slowly.
As soon as this statement came out.
Meng Fangming turned his head suddenly, his pupils dilated, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Detective Meng should be very familiar." Li Xunde saw this reaction and said: "The suspect is his neighbor. It is said that they have a good relationship. The suspect's parents were also police officers in the police station."
Yuan Zhenghua frowned, his deep eyes swept over Meng Fangming, his eyes had an indescribable meaning.
Immediately, he said: "Detective Meng, please go out for a while and wait for me in the office."
Meng Fangming couldn't sit still anymore. He immediately stood up and said, "I think Team Leader Li may have made a mistake?"
"I do know Gao Chen, and I do have a very good relationship with his parents. So I don't think he can be a suspect, because he doesn't have the qualities that a competent person should have at all."
As the chief detective, he naturally knew the strength of that private Kamen Rider.
Although he initially thought that the opponent would be defeated by the official knight, until his driver was taken away from him, he knew that this folk knight was far more powerful than people imagined.
And Gao Chen, a college entrance examination failure who is still preparing for the police co-op assessment, how could he be that Kamen Rider?
Li Xunde had no choice but to signal his assistant to turn on the large conference screen.
A detailed physical examination data was displayed.
"This is Gao Chen's physical test data. It comes from our informant. The information is accurate."
I saw a row of data appearing on the big screen.
The maximum bench press weight is 150 kg, the squat maximum weight is 180 kg, the deadlift maximum weight is 200 kg, and the ten-kilometer fitness test is 30 minutes.
"Do you think this is data that a normal person should have?" Li Xunde said.
The data comes from Chun Xiaoxiao’s intelligence.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the data and prevent the data from fluctuating due to different conditions every day, Chun Xiaoxiao asked Gao Chen to repeat high-intensity strength and physical training for almost a week.
But the result obtained is still the above data, even without any addition or subtraction, there are zeros and wholes!
"impossible!"
Meng Fangming stood up suddenly, brushed his knees against the edge of the table, and made a sound: "I am familiar with this child Gao Chen. This is definitely not his physical test data."
Not to mention that Inspector Meng didn't believe it, everyone here was stunned by this data.
183CM, 65KG, only 18 years old, and the training years are estimated to be only 2 years, but he can achieve such terrifying strength!
This can no longer be described as a genius, it is simply a monster!
Yuan Zhenghua no longer wanted to pay attention to Meng Fangming's reaction. This data alone was enough to show that this person had a big problem.
In the previous seventeen years of life, my sports performance was mediocre, but it happened to explode at this time. It’s strange that there were no problems!
He immediately said: "Team Leader Li, where is this person now? Have you got it under control?"
"It's all under control." Li Xunde said: "We have deployed a city-level knight to monitor his whereabouts at any time. He cannot escape."
"Arrest immediately!"
Yuan Zhenghua doesn't care whether this person really has a problem or not. Now his superiors are putting so much pressure on him and even sent a so-called Supervisory Bureau Li here just to put pressure on him!
Now, a suspect has finally been discovered. Regardless of whether he is a suspect or not, let him arrest him and interrogate him first!
"Received!" Li Xunde responded.
"etc--"
Meng Fangming interrupted: "President Yuan, I apply to also carry out the arrest operation."
"No, you have more important things to do. And this kind of thing is not what your police department should do."
Yuan Zhenghua said: "Today's daytime insect plague has once again involved the Civil Knights, which has attracted widespread public attention. I'm worried that those restless students will soon run into the streets to cause trouble. I hope you can handle this." Something.”
It doesn't matter whether it is handled well or not, but this person named Meng must not be included in the arrest list.
The Knight Foundation's action is about to begin.
At this time, the news media exploded.
"This afternoon, another daytime insect infestation occurred in the bungalow area of Beiqiao Street."
In the news footage, a middle-aged male anchor said: "A zerg attacked a passing little boy, but the Knight Foundation did not arrive in time."
"If that folk knight hadn't appeared again, the consequences would have been disastrous."
"The following is the evaluation of some online forums after the incident spread——"
"The Kamen Rider who can save people is a good knight."
"He solved the zerg and saved the streets of Beiqiao, then he is a hero!"
"I think the Knight Foundation should not issue a wanted order for him. It may be that the Foundation is incompetent and does not want to see someone who is more capable than himself."
"Is he a hero? Are you kidding me? This kind of person wants to be a hero at first. But when he later discovers that he is getting stronger and there are no forces around him that can influence him, can he still maintain his original intention? So I think the Knight Foundation did That’s right, he should be arrested and locked up!”
"..."
In front of a TV, a man in a suit sat on the sofa, holding a goblet in his left hand and drinking red wine.
"Boss, are you worried about this guy? But to be honest, today's insect plague was not in our plan, and it doesn't seem to be one of ours."
"Haha, it's just a small role. The first few times he was just lucky. I didn't send powerful protozoa. Next time, he won't be so lucky."
The man drank the wine in one gulp, turned around and said, "Is that guy here?"
"Already arrived."
The attendant who was hunched behind and did not dare to look up secretly wiped his sweat and continued: "Do you want to see him in person?"
"Sure, why not?"
The man stood up, buttoned his suit, and said slowly: "It's so novel that a Kamen Rider is willing to do things for us."
...
