Chapter 3 The end is coming (3)
Pacific West Coast.
An island country the size of a bullet.
National Security Council, Conference Hall.
There were five people sitting around the round table.
At the main seat, President Shi Morino was wearing a suit. He looked middle-aged, but his hair was already pale.
His sharp eyes swept over everyone present: "How is the recent work progress of each branch?"
"as always."
In the seat on the left, a man in his early thirties, Mr. Sakai, who also wore a suit but deliberately curled his hair and wore a deerstalker hat, complained somewhat: "Osaka and Shinjuku still look like that. There are always a few missing cases related to the insect plague every month. You are already busy enough, so if you have anything to do, just have a meeting..."
Another middle-aged man, Liu Zongke, who was obviously stronger than those present here and had a scar on the left side of his face, said in a soft tone that did not match his appearance: "I wonder what the president has to do with us?"
The only woman in the conference hall, Chiyo Imadegawa, who had a ponytail and was wearing black professional attire, asked: "President, if you are so anxious to come to us, is it because something big happened again?"
Sitting side by side with the woman, Hayata Kono, the youngest, chose to look at the four seniors in silence.
Shi Morino did not answer several people's questions. He picked up the remote control and turned on the large screen hanging on the wall.
The content broadcast above is surprisingly a news TV station in Qinggang City, Longguo.
Shi Morino continued: "This is a research report released by a knight academy in their country at 7:30 in the morning, Dragon Kingdom time."
The four of them looked at what was playing on the screen, thoughtfully.
"Qinggang Knights College Laboratory, which laboratory is this? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Taoist Sakai took off his deerstalker hat, scratched his curly hair and said, "President, do you really believe in the research reports of this college, which is not even ranked among the top 100 in the world?"
"Protozoa—is that what they named the species?"
Liu Zongke rubbed his chin beard with his right hand and thought: "I heard some international media mention the daytime insect plague incident in Longguo. But this situation only occurred in the city of Qinggang. So, I stopped paying attention to it later. "
"If the bugs that appear during the daytime insect plague are protozoa, we have never had such a situation in our country. Does this mean that we are temporarily safe and have not been invaded by this special species."
After hearing these words, Chiyo Imadegawa pursed her lips and said: "If you follow what you said, this kind of protozoa should only appear in the Dragon Kingdom, and they should all be concentrated in a small city. At least there have been no relevant reports in other places. But also You can’t say it’s not found in other places, maybe the protozoa in our country haven’t been exposed yet.”
Seeing his two colleagues looking very serious, Mr. Sakai played with his hat and said, "Didn't you listen to me just now? This research report comes from an unknown laboratory in Longguo, and you actually believe it?" ”
Shi Morino frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Sakai's appearance.
He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet before continuing: "Fifteen hours have passed since this news was broadcast, and the Dragon Kingdom authorities have not come forward to refute the rumors. This means that the research report of this laboratory may not be true. Problem. Protozoa are real, we just haven’t discovered them yet.”
"Therefore, after discussions with our council cabinet, I hope that your Knight Foundation branch can send several capable Kamen Riders to the Dragon Kingdom to investigate this matter."
The research report published by the Longguo laboratory only proved that protozoa existed in Qinggang City, but if the protozoa had really penetrated into all aspects of Qinggang City, it would not be possible.
That means that this thing has probably spread all over the world, and maybe this species also exists in their country.
Therefore, in view of the backwardness of the Dragon Kingdom's knight system, the Security Council cabinet discussed and decided to send several powerful knights from the country to the Dragon Kingdom to conduct investigations and make pre-war preparations for the subsequent elimination of these aliens.
The expressions of the people present, except Sakai, suddenly became serious.
Since this is a decision of the Security Council Cabinet, it means that the entire country is now paying attention to this matter, and this matter needs to be taken seriously by any country in the world. If protozoa really exist, then the entire world will change. .
"Your Excellency, President, how many knights do you need?" Liu Zongke said without hesitation: "I can assign you a few knights from the second echelon."
Imadegawa Chiyo said: "I have limited manpower here. If it really doesn't work, I can go to the Dragon Kingdom myself."
The taciturn Hayata Kono opened his mouth and said: "Our Hokkaido branch has not had any insect infestations in the past three months. Everyone is so idle that they are almost getting moldy. I can dispatch ten knights from the second echelon to you."
"Because of an obscure piece of news, you want us to fly all the way to Dragon Kingdom?" Taoist Sakai smiled and said, "Your Excellency, President, isn't this a bit too aggressive?"
Shi Morino twitched the corner of his mouth and said with suppressed anger: "I know you are very concerned about this incident. But I don't need so many people. After all, Long Country is a big country. If we want to intervene in the investigation, we will not send too many qualified people there. Great fit.”
As he spoke, he looked at Taoist Sakai who was spinning his hat with his fingers: "So I decided to send Sakai to the Dragon Kingdom alone."
Taoist Sakai thought he heard wrongly, "Send me alone?"
"Yes, as the president of the foundation branch, your strength has reached the level of the first echelon in the country, and our Security Council also believes in you."
"This is not my decision alone, but the decision of the entire cabinet," Ishimino said.
"Can I say no?"
"No." Shi Morino said: "In addition, we did not contact the Dragon Kingdom authorities this time, so this time, you cannot transform unless absolutely necessary, you cannot use force, and all investigation actions cannot be exposed."
Just as Taoist Sakai was about to speak, Ishimori continued: "By the way, this time you not only have to investigate the protozoa, but there is also a folk knight who needs you to investigate."
"Is it the folk knight reported in the international news last week who fought fourteen bugs by himself and killed them all by using the power of the drive to copy FaiZ's ultimate move?"
Liu Zongke is very concerned about the news reported internationally. He gushed: "If this thing is true, then this guy is indeed a capable person with great potential. In addition, the driver he uses is also very novel. , I have never heard of any Kamen Rider whose special skills can copy the power of other Kamen Riders."
Imadegawa Chiyo nodded and said: "I have heard about this folk knight, but it's hard to say whether it is true or not."
On the side, Kono Hayata questioned: "The technology of this kind of drive is theoretically impossible to achieve. It copies the form of other knights and has perfect replica special skills. This is somewhat fake."
"I don't like to hear what they two say, but I like to hear what you say." Taoist Sakai said cheerfully: "The knight system of the Dragon Kingdom is backward, such as this kind of knight technology that even our country has not understood. They How is it possible to master it? Moreover, it comes from a civilian capable person? Are you sure this news is not a spoof?"
Shi Morino also felt that this news was probably fake. He would rather believe that the protozoa existed than believe that such a powerful driver and capable person really existed in the Dragon Kingdom.
So, he said: "So this time you go to the Dragon Kingdom and investigate this folk knight."
"Or do you want me to go?" Mr. Sakai was a little dissatisfied: "Osaka and Shinjuku have not been peaceful these past two months. The number of missing people has reached the highest level since the Showa era. Nearly four citizens are missing or dead due to insect plagues every month. You want me to go now?" When we go to Dragon Kingdom, who will be responsible for the jurisdiction of these two places."
"You don't have to worry about this." Shi Morino said, "Leave it to me to take charge of things here."
"..."
...
at the same time.
Across the ocean, the lighthouse country.
A 100-meter-high building, passing through the top of the clouds, can overlook the entire hall of New York.
"Dragon Kingdom has published a research report on protozoa."
An old white man stood in front of the window, leaning on a cane, looking at the bustling street scene in Manhattan and listening to the reports from his subordinates behind him.
"Someone still can't bear it. Soon, not only our lighthouse, but the whole world will know of their existence."
The old white man said in an old and feeble voice: "This may be a good thing. It won't be long before the Dragon Kingdom will completely fall into chaos..."
...
...
August 16, evening.
Longguo, Qinggang City, Xincheng District.
On a road along the river, the evening breeze blew across the river, blowing back and forth on the sidewalk with a hint of autumn. Apart from a few street lamps emitting dim light, nothing could be seen on the road.
Boom boom boom...
The vehicle Yuan Zhenghua was riding in turned from the main road into the road along the river.
The weather is quite clear today, one of the few nights in the past year when the moon can be seen.
He put his arm by the door and his eyes wandered across the river, focusing on the lifeless old city on the other side.
Compared with the prosperity of the new city construction and the neon lights at night, the old city on the other side looks much shabby. There are not even a few bright lights visible at night, and everything as far as the eye can see is gray.
Hiss! ! !
Suddenly, the vehicle braked suddenly and the body shook violently.
Yuan Zhenghua almost missed hitting the seat in front of him, he said angrily: "How do you drive?"
At the same time, look towards the road in front of the car.
The subordinate in charge of driving pointed forward hesitantly: "President, there is a person in the middle of the road..."
Yuan Zhenghua looked over.
A figure stood in the middle of the road. The dim light was cut off by the edge of his body, and a very long black shadow was drawn out on the ground.
He squinted his eyes and saw the man's appearance clearly. He turned pale with fright and shouted: "Turn around! Hurry up and turn around!"
However, it was too late.
The man jumped up, and his magenta figure overlapped with the bright moon on the horizon.
Immediately, it suddenly attacked the convoy!
