Izumo, in a shrine that is difficult to describe with a specific address, humanoid monsters of different shapes are sitting in front of a round table. Although it is a round table, at a glance, you can understand that there are four "people" who are different from others. .
One is a woman with a charming face and nine furry beast tails behind her.
One is a strong young man with a bare upper body and a pair of huge horns.
One is an old man in monk's robes with two wings and a strangely long nose.
Finally, there is the mysterious woman wearing a cyan kimono, her face hidden under a ghost face.
However, if you observe carefully, you will find that all those sitting in front of the table at this time are actually phantoms - the existence here itself is a strange accompanying illusion, and its name is "Shenji".
(Corresponding to Kannazuki in other places, Izumo calls it Kannazuki, because it is said that in this month, all the gods from the Eastern Kingdom will come to Izumo for a meeting, so when "Kannazuki" became a weird story, there was also a corresponding , a shrine that can host meetings of eight million gods - "Shenji")
After a short silence, the old man in monk's robes with a red face and a long nose finally spoke:
"Did you succeed in taking over your face before you die?"
"Judging from the news sent back by Hyakumu Ghost, Seizing the Mask has indeed taken away Kamen Rider's ability, and the strength is not low." The horned young man glanced at the vacant seat next to him, which belonged to Hyakumu Ghost.
However, he is not dead, but is monitoring Chiba, so he cannot come to the meeting.
"So, the weird stories with elements like 'stealing the face' and 'stealing the identity' are actually effective against Kamen Rider?" The beast-tailed woman held her chin with one hand, her eyes slightly blurred, and the horned young man nodded and said:
"It's basically confirmed."
"Then this year's Midsummer Night Festival, we can try to increase the proportion of such strange stories." The old man with a long nose in monk's robe said, turned to look at the ghost-faced woman in green clothes, and saw the other woman nodded lightly before continuing:
"Speaking of which, did you catch the Kamen Rider's tail?"
"No, the method that can evade the surveillance of Hundred-Eyed Ghost seems to be a phantom with the function of splitting and mass production, or it is not a phantom at all. Currently, it can only be locked in Chiba, Nara, and Kumamoto based on the damage situation. , but there are certain differences in the transformation systems they use, and we cannot rule out the possibility that the three do not belong to the same force."
The horned young man said with a headache, and then said:
"Compared to this group of rats, the 'superheroes' over in Colombia can actually determine their location. Do you need to take action?"
"Ignore them for now. Those 'defective products' can't make waves. The key is to follow this line and catch the organization behind them."
The ghost-faced woman shook her head, and the horned young man immediately nodded in agreement, but the beast-tailed woman beside her frowned and said:
"Have you not caught the Kamen Rider Kaidan who was pulled over? And where are the Kamen Riders from Yan Country?"
"The Kamen Rider of Yan Country should be in Kanagawa Prefecture, but the specific location cannot be determined yet. As for the killer whale... it has been confirmed that he is in Chiba. We even found the door through which he came in, but the body is not yet available. Found it, and Guochang didn’t even collect his remaining [consciousness]. That guy must have the power of being a hermit, sneaking, etc.”
The horned young man sounded helpless, but the ghost-faced woman said seriously:
"We must solve it before he is completely digested! This strange story about Kamen Rider is our only hope, and it must be in our own hands!"
…
"How on earth did you become a Kamen Rider? And you can also become a human!" At Rinka's house, Yurika chatted with her best friend about ghost stories and Kamen Riders, but her heart kept thinking. Repeat the question.
Feng Xue was impatient with her quarrel, so she deliberately pretended to be a little lackluster and said:
"You can change with the transformer. The transformer is just such a thing. You can transform even if you take it. As for turning into a human, it's very simple. My ability is 'unknowable'. If it is completely released, It will become 'knowable', and then adjusting the knowable range of 'Billion Points' will give people the feeling that 'this is a person', but they can't remember 'who' they are."
"Can it still be like this?" Lily Hua was obviously a little surprised, but Feng Xue said indifferently:
"Why not? My precision is A! As long as I know the specific structure, I can reproduce it with confidence. Take the Kamen Rider belt for example. If you want it, I can give it to you. You make one.”
"Isn't it a matter of precision for you? Or is your ability actually about making magical items or something?" Bai Hehua felt very excited at that moment, but she still retained her confidence in her own stand-in ability. Strongly doubtful.
"No, the so-called ability is something that can be done without knowing the principle. What can be done because of knowing the principle is just technology. Otherwise, all substitutes will be multi-ability substitutes. For example, Platinum Star, except for time Stop, he can also extend his fingers, draw, enlarge photos, take deep breaths, etc., but you can’t say that Platinum Star’s abilities are printers, magnifying glasses, and vacuum cleaners, right? As for why I can do it... you just think It’s my ability to grow.”
Feng Xue explained in a way that all Jo fans could understand, and Lily Hua finally reluctantly accepted this statement.
Then……
"Then make me a Kamen Rider belt!"
"Okay, let's go catch monsters and talk!" Feng Xue responded decisively.
"Eh? Why are you talking about catching monsters?" Bai Hehua was stunned by Feng Xue, but Feng Xue said matter-of-factly:
"The essence of Kamen Rider is that we and the enemy are of the same origin. The Rider system itself is made of Kaidan as raw material, so if you want a transformer, we have to kill a Kaidan first, and then use it as raw material to make a belt, and Because there are strange stories over there..."
"Forget it." Bai Hehua decisively interrupted Feng Xue's thoughts, and Feng Xue was a little surprised by her unhesitating determination.
"Giving up so easily?" Feng Xue asked curiously, but Lily Hua said matter-of-factly:
"Otherwise? I'm fine as I am now. It's not like you can't defeat Kaidan, and those Kaidans seem to be able to spot Kamen Riders. Multiple belts are not safe."
"..." Feng Xue got out of Lily Hua's body and looked at the girl again with a strange look. He had seen a lot of cowards and decisive people, but these two often did not appear. In the same person, but someone like her...should it be said that she is cowardly and decisive, or should she be said to be self-aware?
Thinking of this, Feng Xue couldn't help but focus on the girl next to her who was still talking about the power of Kamen Rider——
Wouldn't it be more interesting if it was her place?
Some people have said it before about martial arts, and now some people still say it about Kamen Rider, so I’ll just say it all.
If it were a purely fictional world, that would be fine, but since it involves the real world, it must look like the real world.
Personally, I am very disgusted with plots such as "Waiguoren's concept of food is refreshed after eating Chinese food", "No matter which country it is, there is a set of logic", and "A routine is used to travel around the world".
Different countries have different food cultures, beliefs and customs, and thinking logic. If you want to get along in different countries, you have to follow the local customs, rather than holding on to your own set of ideas and thinking that they are the same everywhere.
Many people think that Colombia's rejection of the vaccine is weird, but if you know that Colombia has used sterilization drugs, toxins, bacteria and other things disguised as vaccines to conduct human experiments on civilians and ethnic minorities several times, you can understand why they reject it. .
The essence of ghost stories is about communication, and I wrote it very clearly in this book. In the Yan Kingdom, beggars handing out secret books is a classic plot, but in Victoria, it may be regarded as copper smelting and call the police. If you feed a person who is used to heavy oil and salt a light dish, no matter how delicious it is, he will not be able to enjoy it.
Therefore, I will follow different logics in different countries. Colombia’s ambulance and prison industry chain, Victoria’s official misbehavior, Yanguo martial arts, and Dongguo Kamen Riders are all things that are in line with the local style and perception.
I know readers can't understand all the jokes, so I will explain, but if you want to read the kind of weird stories, it should be weird and scary, not martial arts or Kamen Rider, then I'm sorry, this book is really not for you.
