Chapter 20

"Hey, Knight Space, come out and answer my question! What on earth have you been hiding from me?!"

"Actually, I had this question before. Even if your purpose is to train me to be a real Kamen Rider, why did you put me into an innocent person's body? And this person happens to be Mo Yu. I don't believe that you can't find the dead body or have no other better options? Answer me quickly!"

"Although you gave me a possibility and gave me the opportunity to atone for my sins. But this one-way crossing experience is not something I can decide. Everything is arranged by you. The right of interpretation is always in your hands. What is your purpose?!"

In the confrontation between contradictions and doubts, Mo Yu covered his head while shouting all his doubts so far to the so-called Knight Space in his heart, trying to get the answer he wanted from the other party.

"Who am I? What happened in the memory I lost? What is my relationship with the original Mo Yu?!"

"Answer me quickly!!"

In the dark night, Mo Yu covered his head and shouted hysterically, and the loud voice kept echoing in the room.

It was also thanks to this being a single-family house, otherwise Mo Yu's movement would definitely attract neighbors to come and greet him.

["..."]

["Sorry, I can't answer the host's question. But there is no doubt that you are Mo Yu. This is an indisputable fact."]

["Finding the truth and investigating the results is also a test on the road to becoming a knight. I hope you can solve it yourself..."]

"Answer it!"

Without waiting for the system space to finish his words, Mo Yu, who was out of control, punched the coffee table in front of him heavily.

Crack——! !

With the sound of glass breaking and the flow of bright red blood on his fist, he unceremoniously asked the question in his heart.

"Don't give me the so-called trial over there. I want an answer! I want a definite answer now!! Who am I? What is my relationship with the other Mo Yu?!"

"You lied in it. What is your purpose and the role you play?!"

"Maybe you have your own ideas, but I also have my own will. The steps taken in deception and confusion are not real progress. So tell me the truth quickly."

At this moment, Mo Yu's eyes have become solemn, and there is no doubt in his tone. This look obviously shows that he has made a certain determination.

【"..."】

【"Even if I don't answer...but you have actually guessed the answer, right? Host."】

【"Are the abnormalities in you and the words of Lekaen and Lina not enough to be the key to explore the truth?"】

After a moment of silence, the voice answered like this.

"...Is that so? It's true."

Slowly loosening his bloody palm, Mo Yu looked down at the broken glass surface, and then he saw the almost broken and blurred reflection in it, and his eyes changed a little.

The night was quiet, with only his breathing and heartbeat echoing. He slowly stretched out his hand and touched the mirror with his fingertips. The cold touch made his breathing stagnate slightly. With his movement, the scene reflected in the mirror seemed to tremble, as if it would break at any time, revealing another world.

"I am Mo Yu... He is Mo Yu, we are both Mo Yu... It's just different periods and different carriers."

"If I have to distinguish the difference, it's only the memory before I traveled to this place. The reason why I suddenly woke up and then my cognition was confused was because of you. So that's it, so that's it..."

"That's why I feel more and more real about those memories. Fragments of those memories flash through my mind from time to time, and I will unconsciously call out the names of Lekaen and Lina."

"Is that so... So that's how it is, then I probably understand... Didn't expect it to be like this? If so, then the relationship between him and me is really strange..."

"It's so strange that it's hard to believe, and even more unimaginable."

Mo Yu covered his head and began to smile bitterly. His face showed no joy or sadness, let alone his true thoughts. He was just smiling, sitting there quietly smiling bitterly.

【“What’s your choice? Host, do you want to keep going? Or stop here?”】

“Stop? Why should I stop? The road under my feet has not yet reached the end, and some truths are still not really understood. How can I stop?”

“What’s more, there are people waiting for me to rescue them. If I stop now, how can I be a knight?”

After a chuckle, Mo Yu loosened his palm and let the gradually messy hair fall slowly. The complexity in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a touch of calmness and determination.

“Heroes can’t escape from the battlefield.”

“Even though I’m just a half-baked Kamen Rider, it’s the same.” He said to himself.

【“Host, are you angry?”】

“I’m not.”

【“Really?”】

“I’ve said it all, absolutely not!”

“I’m going to sleep, liar. Don’t forget to wake me up at six o’clock. I don’t have time to chat with you now.”

【“Yes.”】

Mo Yu, who gently closed his eyes on the sofa, fell into silence, and his thoughts sank into the boundless darkness in a trance.

…

The water surface rippled slightly, as if something suddenly broke in.

Raindrops also fell gently in the non-existent sky, sliding down the corners of Mo Yu's eyes to his face. He stood silently staring at the illusory figure in front of him.

"Um?"

"Did you barely realize the answer until Uncle Lekan appeared? Alas, I am really a slow person..."

In the dark and complicated space, the pure white figure seemed to notice something, turned slightly towards him and looked at the visitor who should have returned here long ago, and said with a smile.

"But it's not too late now. Since there is still some time before dawn, you might as well stay here and have a good chat with me, my other self."

Chapter 29 Saving the soldiers...

Time: The next morning, around six o'clock.

When that annoying voice sounded in his mind, Mo Yu opened his eyes on the sofa on time.

"What an unforgettable dream? No... I should say it was a conversation."

"However, I probably already understand the situation..."

After reaching out to touch his heart, and then whispering quietly, Mo Yu's eyes changed slightly. The original fatigue and madness seemed to have completely receded in one night. At this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation.

Just looking at the coffee table in front of him that was smashed by his punch last night, Mo Yu's expression became inexplicably awkward...

How do you explain this to your parents when they come back? Could it be said that he broke it while he was sleepwalking?

"..."

There was no time to think too much, and then he unplugged the G3 battery that was still charging. Then he looked at the reversed electricity meter on the wall, and then at the battery charge with about 50% remaining in his hand, and his expression became even weirder.

Although he had already expected that if he charged it at home, the power consumption would definitely not be small, but Mo Yu did not expect that the electricity bill at home for the month would almost triple in just half a night.

It can be said that this is true·the meter is in reverse.

What's more, this is still not fully charged. If the battery included in the G3 is fully charged, the amount of power required is terrifying just thinking about it.

Glancing back at the messy living room that he had made last night when he was crazy, Mo Yu couldn't help but look a little distressed. It was really a moment of fun last night when he went crazy and had to deal with the crematorium afterwards.

"well……"

He raised his palms and grabbed his hair, but it was not the time to dwell on this situation now.

He has more important things to do today. Let's wait until the matter here is over and think about how to explain it when his parents come back.

Now is the time when Kamen Rider needs to go out, and there are still people waiting for him to rescue him.

"Heroes can't run away from battle..."

…

At around six o'clock in the morning, while the residents in the surrounding blocks were still asleep, Mo Yu quietly slipped out of the back door and sped along the deserted streets.

I don't know if it was because of the dream or a simple heart-to-heart talk, but the shackles that troubled me seemed to have been lifted. At this moment, he only felt that his body was extremely light, and some of the original burdens seemed to be gone with him. Following the bat camera that had just been plugged into the bat memory and released into the sky, Mo Yu and the others took a detour to Liufen Street and approached the shop called [Random Play] from a relatively hidden alley.

"BatCam, what's going on inside?"

The blue bat camera flew around in mid-air and then fell back into Mo Yu's hand, slightly turning its joints, and then projected the scene near Random Play on the camera on his chest.

Since it was six o'clock in the morning, no shops were open at this time.

The entire street was quiet. Except for Nicole, who was waiting anxiously at the intersection with her suitcase, and Ling who was accompanying her, no one appeared near this street, so there was no need to worry about the risk of being exposed.

"Thank you, BatCam, let's go."

He touched the bat camera on his palm and let it fly into the air. Then Mo Yu smiled, and then put the G3 buckle on his waist, thinking silently in his heart.

"Transformation."

Blue light and white steam flashed across the alley, and Mo Yu, who had finished dressing up in G3 armor, appeared deep in the intersection, and then asked the bat camera to help him convey his voice to Nicole and Ling over there.

"I'm here."

"Eh?"

Nicole was stunned for a moment when she heard this voice. She immediately turned her head and saw that there was a strange machine that looked like a blue bat in the air, flapping its wings and hovering there, and was guiding herself to a location.

After hearing Mo Yu's voice, Suzuya and Nicole immediately followed him without any doubt, and then the two of them successfully met Mo Yu deep in the alley who had completed his transformation and was wearing G3 armor.

"Good morning, Nicole and Bell." He greeted the two girls who came over.

"You too, good morning, Mr. Kamen Rider."

Seeing that Mo Yu really showed up here as promised, Ling said hello to him.

Nicole couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After last night's experience, she always felt a sense of security when she saw the other party's blue-gray armor again.

"Phaethon, how are you preparing? When can we set off?"

Without too much greeting, Mo Yu went straight to the point and asked the blue-haired girl in front of him who was a member of Phaethon.

"Don't worry, my brother and I have adjusted the HDD system last night and are ready to dive into the air cave at any time." Hearing Mo Yu's question, Ling patted her chest and assured confidently.

[HDD system is an abbreviation for the deep-diving system of the void. It is through this system that Phaethon's twins can achieve real-time communication inside and outside the void. 】

After hearing this good news, Mo Yu nodded and said, "Since everything is ready, let's start now without further delay."

"Well, no problem. My brother is ready. Next, you and Nicole just need to help transport Ies to the vicinity of the outer perimeter of the hole."

"I know this. It's better to deploy your clone Bomb as before, right? No problem," Nicole said.

"That's right."

While saying this, Ling picked up the strange Bomb that had been following her and put it in front of Mo Yu and Nicole.

"This is Ies."

Mo Yu: "Bomb..."

Mo Yu had an impression of this strange little guy. This is a small intelligent machine that is only as high as an adult's knee.

The shape is usually a round body with rabbit-like ears, like a doll.

When these little guys were first born, they were used to help the residents of New Eridu avoid taking refuge from the hole disaster.

And now Bomb has become a more comprehensive intelligent individual, just like artificial intelligence, because of the increasingly mature technology and diverse needs of New Eridu.

Its role is not only to handle simple housework, but also to serve as a shop assistant, helping people open stores and sell goods, acting as a rare good helper.

Even Bombs have their own language - Bomb language. Compared with mechanical equipment, most people in New Elidu tend to treat Bombs as friends and family.

"Hmmmmmm... (Please take care of me next.)"

Ies ran to Mo Yu's feet and politely stretched out his palm. In response, Mo Yu also gently touched its little head.

"Well, please take care of me, Ies."

Bombs, such smart artificial intelligence... is very similar to the Shumagia in 01. However, compared with the problems of Shumagia, the risks and uncertainties of these little guys are much smaller.

For some reason, when seeing these smart little guys, especially the Bomb with the 01 icon on his clothes in front of him, Mo Yu's mind would always involuntarily appear the figure of a great master of Reiwa, and then he even said shocking words: "There are also U-meh in Shumagia!" Such shocking words.

"Dream Theory?" by one of the three sages of Reiwa
