【November 24, 2018】
Earth.
With the gentle shaking and distortion of "time", history has quietly changed.
Hitomiyama.
Tomari Shinnosuke received a tip that someone saw the chief tax collector of Saionji Temple near the 5-chome.
So, he immediately brought Gates here.
And using the clue fragments that were subsequently investigated, the hiding place of the chief tax officer of Xiyuan Temple was pieced together step by step.
At this time, Tomonosuke was leading Gates towards the hiding place of the chief taxman of Saionji Temple.
However, just as he was approaching his destination, Gates' expression suddenly changed, revealing a painful look.
His abdomen felt as if he had been hit hard by something invisible, and his whole body immediately flew backwards.
"Gates——!"
Tomarinosuke looked at this scene in astonishment, and then quickly ran to the position where Gates fell. At the same time, he took out his pistol and scanned the surroundings vigilantly.
"What happened? Are you okay?"
The surroundings were empty, except for the two of them, not even a ghost.
But what Gates had just experienced told Tomarinosuke that there definitely was something else here that he couldn't see.
Are you wearing any invisibility equipment?
Just when Tomarinosuke was thinking this, he heard Gates' answer.
"I'm fine."
I saw Gates reluctantly getting up from the ground and reminding Shinosuke Tomari.
"Be careful, Mr. Bo, I should be attacked by the beholder who is working with the chief taxman of Xiyuan Temple."
"Beholder?"
"Well, it's like a ghost."
"Huh? Ghost?"
Hearing this, Tomonosuke's thoughts suddenly couldn't help but stagnate.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that he would hear such an unscientific explanation at this time.
So, are they now... a ghost?
As soon as he thought of this, the corners of Tomonosuke's mouth twitched involuntarily, and the gun in his hand suddenly no longer felt safe.
At this moment, a bluish beam of light fell and swept around them, making a black shadow standing not far from them gradually clear.
That's the light from Shiranui's hilt flashlight, which can turn the ghost from "invisible" to "visible".
At the same time, a voice that made Gates feel very uncomfortable sounded from behind.
"It's really embarrassing, Gates. Is this how you become a bodyguard?"
Known as the Demon King's most loyal retainer, Woz finally arrived and brought over the hilt of the Shiranui sword developed by Kiryu Sentu.
"then."
Turning off the Shiranui beam, Woz threw the Shiranui sword hilt towards Gates.
"Hmph, you are obviously too slow!"
Gates caught the hilt of Shiranui's sword with his backhand, and replied to Woz without any thanks in his tone.
Regarding this equipment that can make ghosts appear, Tsukuyomi has already informed him in advance via phone.
Therefore, Gates had every reason to suspect that Woz might have arrived a long time ago but was just holding back his bad intentions and not showing up.
Although he has no proof.
And Woz, who heard Gates' words, didn't defend himself.
He just spread his hands, smiled nonchalantly, and then elegantly extended an invitation to Tomonosuke.
"Mr. Bo, just leave this to Gates. Let's go rescue people... That's the job of the criminal police, isn't it?"
Tomari Shinosuke: "..."
Okay, the ghost really didn't belong to Detective Guang, so he didn't think much about it.
"I understand, let's go."
Tomarishinosuke agreed to Woz's invitation.
And the moment Tomarinosuke finished his words, Woz chuckled, suddenly pulled off the gray scarf around his neck, rolled up Tomarinosuke and himself, and disappeared on the spot.
During this process, Gates' eyes never left the "beholder" in front of him from beginning to end.
In the ominous black fog ahead, there was a human-shaped silhouette outlined by dim light, swaying gently.
He seemed to be...waiting for something.
What are you waiting for?
Thinking of this, Gates couldn't help but frown.
Don't understand.
Therefore, Gates is ready to take the initiative.
【Ziku-Driver (Space-time Driver)! 】
Gates took out the space-time drive and buckled it around his waist, then took out the knight's watch, turned the dial, and started it.
【Geiz! 】
And the moment Gates took out the knight's watch, he saw that the "beholder" half hidden in the black mist finally moved.
He floated forward.
Leaving the black fog range.
Gates finally saw clearly what the "beholder" looked like.
But the other party's appearance surprised Gates.
"What!? It's actually Ghost——!?"
Yes, the true form of the "Beholder" that was half hidden in the black mist was none other than Kamen Rider Ghost.
"How could...Hey! What on earth do you want to do?"
Gates asked loudly.
However, the Ghost just continued to move forward without saying a word, and the speed became faster and faster.
Seeing this, Gates quickly rolled to avoid Ghost's collision.
"Can't we communicate through language? Then there's nothing we can do."
Realizing this, Gates no longer hesitated and immediately inserted the Geiz Knight watch into the slot of the space-time drive.
"Transform!"
【RiderTime (Rider Time)! 】
【KamanRiderGeiz! 】
Wearing armor.
Facing the Ghost that was floating towards him quickly again, this time, Gates directly clenched his fist and swung it out.
But Ghost used a "walking in the air" posture to easily dodge this punch with a slight deflection of his body. He walked around behind Gates and kicked him in the back.
Gates staggered two steps forward, and when he turned around, he already had a folding bow in his hand.
【ZikanZax (time strict ax)! bow! 】
Pull the bowstring and shoot an arrow at Ghost.
But the arrows were all blocked by a big sword.
【GanGunSaber(eye gun sword)! 】
Ghost held the big sword, this time it fell from the air to the ground, came to Gates, and struck with the sword.
Gates retreated to avoid it, folding his bow at the same time.
【Oh! No! 】
The weapon in Gates' hand changes from a "bow" to an "axe".
Started to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Ghost who was holding an eye-gun sword.
Simultaneous scene changes.
But soon, Gates fell into a disadvantage and rolled to the ground in a panic.
Because Ghost can always dodge Gates' attacks in a posture that violates the laws of physics, and then counterattack.
Ghost did fall from the air to the ground, but he still continued to use the "Ghost Walk" skill.
Combined with Ghost's superb fighting skills, Gates was suppressed miserably.
"hateful!"
Annoyed, Gates took out his Mach Knight watch, turned the dial, and started it.
【Mach! 】
【ArmorTime (Armor Time)! Mach! Mach! 】
Gates transformed into the Kamen Rider GeizMach armor form.
【rapidly! 】
Gates instantly turned into an afterimage, rushed in front of him faster than Ghost could react, slashed with his ax, and then spun around and kicked.
Bang!
Gates' attack finally worked.
His attack landed firmly on Ghost, and then knocked Ghost away.
Gates seized the opportunity and immediately pressed the top buttons of the two knight watches and the space-time drive respectively, and rotated the main body of the space-time drive.
【FinishTime! 】
【Mach! 】
【Hissatsu (must kill)! TimeBurst! 】
Jumping up, Gates used a knight's kicking posture to launch a killing blow to Ghost, whose back was turned to him.
At this critical moment, Ghost showed no signs of panic.
The moment he landed and stood up, he quickly took out two cards from the card box at his waist, and then immediately inserted the first card into the drive.
【KamenRide (Kamen Ride)! Kabuto! ChangeBeetle! 】
In Gates' stunned expression, Ghost's armor changed and turned into Kamen Rider Kabuto.
Immediately, the second card was inserted.
[Attack Ride (Attack Ride)! ClockUp! 】
Kabuto enters the realm of acceleration.
Gates' movement about to kick Kabuto suddenly became extremely slow.
Then, Kabuto was seen calmly taking out the third card from the card box and inserting it into the drive.
【FinalAttackRide(Ultimate Attack Ride)! Ka-Ka-Ka-Kabuto! 】
The fluctuating tachyon particles were collected by the horns on Kabuto's head, and were transmitted to his right foot in the form of electric light, where they converged.
He was immediately kicked out by Kabuto.
boom! !
Gates was kicked to the ground by Kabuto's knight, and his armor shattered, revealing his body covered with wounds.
I saw the mysterious Kamen Rider walking up to Gates and flipping Gates over with his feet so that he was facing up and facing him.
Then, for the first time since his appearance, this mysterious Kamen Rider spoke.
"With your appearance, don't you think it's too arrogant for you to try to advise the Demon King on his path as a friend?"
Obviously, this is a sentence that Gates, who is now lying on the ground in embarrassment, is completely unable to refute.
"asshole!"
Feeling the unwillingness surging in his heart, Gates asked angrily.
"Who are you?"
"Ah."
Hearing this, the mysterious Kamen Rider chuckled lightly, and while raising his feet and landing, he answered calmly.
"Kadoya Shi, he's just a passing Kamen Rider."
Those were the last words Gates heard before falling into coma.
After that, an aurora curtain rose from behind Kado Yaji, moved forward, and covered Kado Yaji.
During this process, through the aurora curtain, one can vaguely see that the armor on Kabuto's body has been restored from the Kabuto form to the Decade basic form, and a little yellow light lights up above the visor.
Then, the aurora curtain continued to move forward.
It flipped over, fell, and engulfed Gates lying on the ground before disappearing.
…
…
The world of dead souls.
The aurora curtain appears and disappears.
Gates, who was in a coma, was sent from Earth to this world.
He landed next to Makoto Fukami, who was unshaven and ashen-faced.
Fukami looked subconsciously, paused for a moment, and his dull eyes suddenly opened wide, and a bright light slowly revived from them.
What did he see?
It was a comic book that fell from Gates's arms and opened.
On the unfolded page.
Shenhai Huayin was looking at him with her eyebrows furrowed and her cheeks puffed up, as if to say...
"Brother, I'm angry!"
