Chapter 9 The end is coming (9)
The sky was completely dark, the streets were empty, and the wind with a hint of autumn was blowing back and forth on the road.
After Gao Chen took a shower, he was ready to go to bed.
suddenly. There was a knock on the door. I looked at the time and it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
In the previous life, the person who knocked on the door at this point was either a delivery boy or a door-to-door service person, but in today's world, it was either a protozoan or a policeman.
Gao Chen came to the door, closed his left eye, and looked through the cat's eye with his right eye. His vision was blurry at first, and then gradually recovered. Immediately, he saw that the door was empty, and even the voice-activated lights in the corridor were not on.
Could it be that he heard wrongly?
open the door.
Gao Chen walked into the dark corridor, and the voice-activated light did not light up because of his opening the door. The end of the quiet corridor was swallowed up by darkness, and waves of cool breeze blew from nowhere.
He remembered that there were no windows in the corridor of the unit.
Da da da--
At the end of the shadow-filled corridor, there was a sound like hard-soled boots hitting the ground. Gao Chen raised his head and stared at the dark front, his eyes following the sound of stepping on the ground.
Suddenly, he clearly felt a chill on the back of his neck, and the hairs all over his body stood up. In the darkness with an unknown end, a huge figure suddenly rushed towards him.
As the outline of the figure gradually became clearer, the thing hiding the darkness suddenly appeared. The whole body is covered with a crab-like spiny orange-yellow hard shell, and its arms have huge pincers. It is similar to the protozoa encountered before. The only difference is that it has no head. The two basketball-sized beads on its chest are constantly rotating. That should It's the eyes.
Seeing this scene, Gao Chen's eyes were stunned.
"protozoan."
"Why are they here?"
Seeing that the crab protozoa was already crawling on its body, it suddenly jumped up to a height that was almost close to the ceiling of the corridor, and the crow fell down like a plane.
Seeing this, Gao Chen didn't have time to think, his eyes focused, he exerted force on his feet, spread forward and backward, lowered his center of gravity, bent his back feet, and rolled forward. He felt a gust of wind blowing above his head, and heard a violent noise behind him.
Looking back, Gao Chen saw that the crab protozoa lost weight and fell on its face to the ground, almost motionless as it lay there.
Buzz——
The voice-activated light in the corridor responded, maybe because the sound of falling on the ground was too loud.
Gao Chen's eyes couldn't adapt to the sudden bright light and felt a little stinging.
Immediately, he vaguely saw the crab protozoa getting up and rushing towards him again.
"court death."
Gao Chen took out the drive and buckled it around his waist.
At the same time, he suddenly raised his fist, accompanied by a pleasant sound effect.
'KamenRide! '
'DeCade! '
The moment it was about to hit, the heavy fist was wrapped in armor, shaped like a cannonball, wrapped in red energy, carrying powerful wind-breaking energy, surged vertically and horizontally, and slammed into the belly of the protozoa.
Bang——
The protozoa was smashed to pieces by heavy punches on the spot, turned into ashes, and dissipated into the air with the wind coming from nowhere.
Gao Chen calmly pushed the drive away.
A red light flashed, canceling the transformation.
Then, he raised his eyes and glanced at the peephole of the opposite door.
That flash of light meant that someone had just witnessed all this.
The police station was very busy during this period, and Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng basically lived in the police station unit. Therefore, the one peeking behind the door could only be Meng Xiangjun.
Meng classmate rarely goes out these days. Uncle Meng almost issued a grounding order because of the protozoa thing. However, in a few days it will be the day when school starts. In short, until the world is destroyed, Meng-kun still has to go to school.
"Stop looking and go to bed."
Gao Chen shouted at the door, and then he saw the cat's eye flashing, and then the light inside it went out.
There are three families living on this floor, including Gao Chen. The other family is the Meng family, and the third family is an old lady who lives alone. The residents of several other houses had moved to a new, more open city a few years ago.
The voice-activated light was not dimmed, but it might be broken. It flickered on and off. Gao Chen followed the wall of the corridor and saw the door of a room at the end.
That was the room where the old lady lived on the same floor.
The door was open, and there were a few rays of light coming from inside.
Gao Chen frowned and approached the door. He saw an incandescent light on in the living room and the floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony were open, letting in the cold wind outside.
This house has one room and one living room. Gao Chen inspected all the rooms and didn't see a single person.
Apparently, the protozoa that died just now was this old lady.
This made him feel a little shuddering. If his neighbors on the same floor all have protozoa, how many protozoa are there in this building?
First, the Foundation was infiltrated by protozoa, and then the inspection team also seemed to have protozoa. How many of them exist in the entire human society? How much of the human population do they account for?
Gao Chen didn't know what the differences were between the protozoa in this world and the original ones, and whether it was necessary to eat the original owner in order to obtain the other person's memory and mimic the other person's appearance.
In other words, they are born with a second face.
After confirming the identity of the protozoa just now, Gao Chen pulled the power switch of the house and locked the door. Anyway, the old lady living here has no relatives, so there is no need to bother the Knight Foundation to come and investigate.
...
That night, Gao Chen didn't sleep well. The next morning, he was awakened by a knock on the door.
Opening the door, there was a girl standing outside, it was Meng Xiangjun.
"Is something wrong?" Gao Chen didn't sleep well all night, and his eyeballs were still slightly bloodshot.
Meng Xiangjun looked at the young man's appearance and asked, "Are you okay? Why do I feel like you are not in a good mental state?"
"You have something to say."
Classmate Meng glanced at her door to make sure no one was there, then she pulled the boy into the opposite door and asked, "I saw the news yesterday. Did you kill Yuan Zhenghua?"
"Yes. He is a protozoa, so he deserves to die." Gao Chen replied briefly.
Classmate Meng didn't know how to respond. Yesterday, she thought of asking Gao Chen if he did this.
If true, then how did he know Yuan Zhenghua's identity. However, since the news came out yesterday, her parents had to go to work again. For her safety, they simply took her directly to the police station. Therefore, as soon as she came back today, she couldn't wait to run over: "How did you know that he was a protozoa?"
If Gao Chen really had a way, wouldn't humans have a way to find the protozoa?
"Guess." Gao Chen said seriously. He did make a guess, and the inspection team's investigation only confirmed that his guess was correct.
"Real or false? You can still guess at something like this...Aren't you afraid of guessing wrong?"
"if not?"
Gao Chen didn't have the ability to identify protozoa, at least not at all. He didn't know if the program would be available in the future.
Classmate Meng was a little disappointed. The boy who co-authored it all guessed. This kind of gambling-style selection would have been in vain if Yuan Zhenghua was not a protozoa.
However, I am afraid that Meng is not the only one who is lost today.
Time soon came to evening. There was no sunset today, and dark clouds enveloped the entire city as always.
"Ah? Did you guess that?"
In the afternoon, Taoist Sakai arrived as scheduled, but after listening to the young man's simple statement, he felt bad: "Aren't you afraid that you guessed wrong?"
Gao Chen stood next to the motorcycle. They were on a bridge at the moment. Underneath was an artificial river used to transport goods in the old industrial period. It dried up for a while in the early years. However, it rained frequently in the past two months and you could still see shallow water. Shallow stream.
"An idiot asked you the same question this morning."
Gao Chen leaned on the motorcycle and said, "I really guessed it. But, someone helped me confirm my guess."
"who?"
Ayumi Miyazaki quickly asked: "The fact that you can kill Yuan Zhenghua shows that you are also a capable person. There must be forces behind you to secretly provide you with technical support. Who are they?"
Dare to blatantly assassinate the president of the foundation, they don't believe that this is something an ordinary person dares to do. They guessed that the boy in front of them was the folk knight, but there was no evidence and they felt that this guess was unrealistic. Although the folk knight was not strong in their eyes, they still couldn't believe that a student who had just turned eighteen could transform into a Kamen Rider. Therefore, they felt that the boy in front of them might just be an accomplice, and the real murderer was the folk knight.
Taoist Sakai was a little disappointed after hearing this: "You don't know how to identify protozoa, why didn't you tell me earlier. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have come."
Gao Chen knew that none of this guy's words were serious, so he said slowly: "Is this why you are looking for me?"
"There is one more thing." Taoist Sakai stretched out a finger, and then he seemed to feel something was wrong, and then stretched out his middle finger and said, "Well, there should be two more."
"The first thing." Taoist Sakai said: "You killed Yuan Zhenghua, right? Or should I say, you were one of the participants in that assassination operation. Although I don't know what kind of organization would actually send a little fart The child went to join in the fun, but this does not affect my question. So, does Yuan Zhenghua's death have anything to do with you, and if so, how much?"
"I also asked the second question for you." Gao Chen asked and answered: "You should also want to ask me, am I familiar with that folk knight, right? Then I will tell you, Yuan Zhenghua is one of me Killed by man. I am that folk knight."
Gao Chen took the initiative to expose himself just to see the reaction of these two people. Anyway, now that the other party thinks he is suspicious, there is no harm in a direct showdown.
Hearing this, among the two of them, Ayumi Miyazaki was stunned. He looked at the senior next to him.
"You?" Taoist Sakai said as he took out the flask, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Young man, don't be joking. Yuan Zhenghua's death does have something to do with you. This may be because of the power behind you, but it is definitely You couldn’t have done it alone.”
After going back yesterday, Sakai and Miyazaki analyzed and felt that Gao Chen was unlikely to be the folk knight. It's not that Gao Chen has no problem, but after checking Gao Chen's information, they found out that this guy was only eighteen years old and had just graduated from high school this year. If he is really that folk knight, it would be a bit outrageous to be able to become a capable person at such a young age in the Dragon Kingdom.
At this time, Ayumi Miyazaki asked: "How do you prove that you are the one?"
"Is it easy to prove me? But after you have asked, I haven't asked yet." Gao Chen said: "I'm afraid your trip here is more than just a trip. So, who sent you here? Come here. What is it for?"
"It doesn't matter who sent us here." Taoist Sakai said: "The important thing is that you already know that we are here for the protozoa and the folk knights."
Gao Chen glanced at the two of them and said slowly: "Then if I prove that I am the folk knight, what will you do?"
Taoist Sakai smiled, and a rare coldness flashed through his gray eyes: "Of course, I will teach you a lesson first. We will talk about the specific matter after the beating."
On the side, Ayumi Miyazaki glanced at the boy's pocket and saw no bulge. It didn't look like he was carrying a drive on his body. This guy probably just said something nice.
Unexpectedly, Gao Chen stretched his right hand to the side and took out a silver driver that looked like a camera out of thin air: "In that case, let's fight. But before we start, let me make a promise. If you lose, you will honestly explain who sent you." Come."
Seeing this scene, Master Sakai put away his wine bottle and took half a step back. Looking at the driver in the opponent's hand, it looked exactly like the folk knight mentioned in the information. He suddenly laughed and said: "I didn't expect that you are actually that folk knight."
"senior......"
Ayumi Miyazaki looked shocked. He touched his waist and was ready to transform. The surprise was not that of fear, but that he didn't expect that the boy in front of him was really the Kamen Rider.
"Miyazaki-kun, you go first."
Taoist Sakai took another step back. Since this young man is the folk knight, the news about the battle between Fourteenth and First World War some time ago is probably fake. Being able to transform into a knight form at such a young age. The strength is estimated not to even reach the city level. Then there is no need for him to take action.
Next to him, Ayumi Miyazaki took out a belt buckle, and like magic, he flicked it twice with his right hand and a card appeared.
Seeing this scene, Gao Chen was slightly startled: "Blay buckle? Are you Blade?"
"Interesting, you actually know each other."
Taoist Sakai was already sitting leisurely on the motorcycle, with his arms folded across his chest, just looking at the two people who were about to start a fight.
Gao Chen glanced at the man in front of him, clasped the driver to his waist, and said: "I'm just a little surprised. I thought you two would be W before, but it doesn't matter. Jianye's cards are also pretty good..."
"card?"
Sakai was stunned.
He remembered that the information mentioned that this guy could copy the power of other knights. But he felt that this ability was too ridiculous and completely inconsistent with the principles of knight technology.
"ridiculous."
Taoist Sakai sneered, and then shouted to Miyazaki: "You kid, don't be too harsh. If someone else is disabled by then, I won't have the money to pay for his medical expenses."
The words just fell.
Ayumi Miyazaki also placed the belt buckle on his waist, and then showed the card, with an Ace of Spades on it: "Shame!"
...
