In the night, Kewen stood there, looking at the second knight who appeared in his city, in the true sense of the word, in addition to himself, the native knight born in this universe, Laqi. As the saying goes, there is no wrong name, only the wrong nickname. This sentence is not false when used on this rider, where is the boundary of his form and ability, Ke Wen does not know, but in several major incidents, his performance is not bad, and Ke Wen also sees it.

It's hard to imagine that such a powerful guy would make a transatlantic phone call to himself, and not long after the call, he appeared in front of him in this way, and brought himself a surprise.

"The supper you want, let's talk about it after eating." threw the packed supper in his hand over, patted the back seat of the car, and motioned for Li Jie to come up.

"Thanks, but I have it too."

After taking the supper thrown by Ke Wen, Li Jie just smiled heartily, snapped his fingers, and a locomotive that was not inferior to Ke Wen in shape also drove out of the explosion and stopped in front of Ke Wen. After looking at the operation of other people's locomotives, Ke Wen looked down at the one under his crotch again, why won't my locomotive move by itself?

In addition to complaining, the two also left the scene before the police and fire alarms came, and after finding a relatively quiet place to stop, looking at the still bright fire, Ke Wen turned around and wanted to ask the guy who called himself a senior about what happened before, but he saw Li Jie, who was gobbling up supper at this time, and didn't bother him, just waited quietly for him to finish eating.

He didn't understand that a second person born with his back to his motherland and in response to the concept of being a Kamen Rider, and the first Kamen Rider in the DC universe, who could make him so embarrassed, looking at his appearance like a hungry ghost at this time, Ke Wen could guess something.

"I'm sorry, I've been busy killing the guy just now, and I don't have time to cook a good meal for myself, and it looks a little ugly."

After a hearty meal, Li Jie also wiped the oil off his mouth, and said there with a little comfort after a full stomach.

"No, I can understand, monsters like that, if there are too many, you will have to suffer when you are busy. But can you finish it? About these monsters, weirdos, what the hell is going on. ”

Ke Wen was also curious about the strange man who appeared in front of him just now, and the moment he saw this strange man, Ke Wen felt that this was not those common aliens, or something born under biochemical experiments. The reason is simple, the style of painting is completely different. A comic-style live-action movie in the style of American comics, full of realism.

The live-action version under the special effects painting style is full of realism at the same time, but also with a bit of fantasy, making people see at a glance that this is not a monster that exists in the world. It won't be like the comic manga of the United States, which makes people understand and accept the existence of this kind of creation.

Li Jie, who had just had a full meal, was also stunned when Ke Wen mentioned the strange man he had killed just now, and his expression of joy when he saw Ke Wen was also stagnant, and with a little melancholy, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out two, put one in his mouth, and one gestured to Ke Wen.

"No, it's been a long time, so don't smoke it. Although for us, the disease is basically out of the picture, but as a figure who represents the image of the country, it is not good to be seen by others. ”

"That's why I don't smoke in front of people, and I wouldn't smoke this if it weren't for the recent events. It's a bad thing, but sometimes we need it to give ourselves some comfort. As for the monster you just saw, he's human, a real human, and that's what I'm going to be. ”

When the astonishing words were said by Li Jie in such a flat tone, Ke Wen was not much surprised. He just sat on the locomotive, looking at Li Jie's painful expression when he said these words at this time, and silently beckoned, the Huazi he put in his hand came to his mouth, and the sparks flashed, and the smoke swirled in front of him. Perhaps because of seeing Ke Wen, the first Kamen Rider, Li Jie's expression also relaxed a little, and after taking a few deep breaths, he also began to speak.

"I don't think I told you how I got this ability, did I?"

"No, I only know that Conkinan told me at the time that this ability of yours is a one-time ability, the ability to turn the embodiment of your mind into reality, and the ability to use it for you, but only once. So before you manifest, you were just an ordinary person, and you needed a lot of knowledge to enrich yourself and perfect what you were doing when you were manifested. ”

recalled when he first returned to China, he contacted the Chinese Self-Improvement Department, and the Chinese superman who inherited the power of the old 52 superman described Li Jie's ability when he introduced his members. To some extent, this ability is more like the Lampman series, the embodiment of the power of the emotional spectrum. How strong the embodied thing is depends on how deeply the user understands the embodied thing.

So when he saw Li Jie embodied a complete set of knight armor and belts, he was also very confused. Because the power theory of the knight system is not reasonable at all, it is a pure product of idealism, but people can turn the things of the product of idealism into reality, which is outrageous, and what is even more outrageous is that Li Jie himself did not perfect this system, and there is a lot of blank space for this set of knight armor that he has embodied.

But that's it, but it gives this set of knight armor more room to grow, that is, on the four forms of the basic four forms that he knows, dry garbage, wet garbage, recycling garbage, and hazardous garbage, as well as transitional, strengthened, and finally limited forms that may appear in the theater.

"That's pretty much it, but there's something I haven't told him, some secrets that only I know." nodded, Li Jie did not deny Ke Wen's answer, this was the information he reported when he joined the Self-Improvement Department.

"So you called me, and this incident happened in front of my eyes, and you are going to share this secret with me?"

"Because only you can give me an answer about what I'm going through right now."

"Understood, say, I'm listening."

Transferring the right to speak to Li Jie, the second knight born after him, Ke Wen no longer asked questions, and honestly acted as an audience. And Li Jie, also in the smoke, talked about the beginning and end of having this power.

"That was when you officially appeared in the world as Kamen Rider, and I thought, yes, it was during that so-called parallel universe invasion event. You may not believe it, but before that, I was just a college student who was about to graduate and lose my job. There's no specialty, and there's no face that God appreciates to eat, except that it's always boring, and there will be some reverie, it's nothing, and it's an advantage to die to die, that is, it's a bad character from time to time.

During that parallel universe invasion, I happened to go on a graduation trip with my roommates and went out of the country. Yes, that's right, it's the country where you're staying now, and that's where I saw your appearance, and I saw you, as a Kamen Rider, defeat those villains from parallel universes. At that time, I was thinking: Oh my God, how can there be such a completely unreasonable, but handsome mess of armor.

Before I saw you, I always thought that the romance of boys was mecha, O-Xman and Kai Gundam. But after seeing you, I felt that transforming into Kamen Rider was also a kind of romance. ”

Hearing this, Ke Wen also felt wrong, he didn't expect that the reason for Li Jie's birth as a Kamen Rider was still in his own place, or a knight born under his own influence?!

"You're trying to say that after that, you have this ability? This ability to manifest once at a time? ”

Li Jie nodded, which can be regarded as an acknowledgment of Ke Wen's speculation.

"As you said, after returning to China, because I saw your style, I began to collect news and information related to you, and wanted to know more about you. It can be said that at that time, I was your fan, but you didn't know it. I only had one thought, how nice it would be if I could have the same abilities as you, and it's a shame to say. I think there is only one reason to have such a capacity as yours: because then I can apply to become a national competency.

Not to mention anything else, there is an iron rice bowl, 9 to 5, five insurances and one housing fund, take-out public rental housing, preferential salary, take-out allocation of houses, parents are also doubly face-to-face when they say it, and the class reunion can also appear in style. As for the obligation to become a capable person, the front line of disaster relief and crime fighting, I don't exclude it, at least I haven't seen you lose as a Kamen Rider, so if I were a Kamen Rider, I shouldn't lose anywhere, and I'm not the only one with the ability. Eat public food, do good deeds, and do not conflict. ”

Quietly listening to Li Jie's thoughts before he became a knight, Ke Wen didn't have any thoughts of laughing at him, because his idea was great and good. If he could, he also wanted to have such treatment, the country should be the backer, and he would do things for the country, and he didn't need to say anything to make a name for himself, spend money like dirt, and have a group of fans. Just a package is allocated, and he thinks it's okay, but the place he crossed is not very good, and it is directly free and democratic, so it's very good!

As for Li Jie saying that he hadn't lost these, Ke Wen was embarrassed to expose it, as a Kamen Rider, you have to learn to get used to eating deflated, and only if you eat too much deflated can you turn the tables.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of, but I'm curious, how did you find out you have this ability to manifest?"

With a simple question, Li Jie, who was reminiscing about the past, was suddenly embarrassed there, and after a long while, he said silently.

"I've been solo since I was born..."

"So?"

"At the graduation party, I embodied a girlfriend for myself..."

The air became quiet when Li Jie told his little secret, Ke Wen, as a qualified listener, subconsciously looked up at the drive pinned to his waist, thought about the salted fish system that was still closed at this time, slowly lowered his head, sighed, and couldn't tell the sad tears.

"Senpai?" Noticing Ke Wen's abnormality, Li Jie couldn't help but feel strange, it was me who told the story, why did I always feel that Ke Wen was the person in that story?

"It's okay, I'm just lamenting that I'm not qualified as a Kamen Rider, you go on, don't worry about me."

Looking at the cigarette butt in Ke Wen's hand, Li Jie didn't understand Ke Wen's mentality for a while, and Ke Wen, who didn't know it, also sent the cigarette butt in reverse to his mouth, and only then did he react to his gaffe. The originally somewhat deep atmosphere was also diluted a little after Ke Wen performed a reverse cigarette. And Li Jie also pushed the story to the ten months that Ke Wen left the main universe.

"And in the ten months you've been gone, something strange has happened to me. Senior, do you know why I define my title as Laqi? Because it seems to me that everyone, including you and me, has a dirty part inside of them that exists as garbage. We just bury this stuff deep inside or vent it out through some channels, but it's still there, and you can just call yourself Kamen Rider, but I can't, so I'll name myself Laqi.

Originally, I just thought so, but in the time since, I have found that I can start to hear my heart. No, it can't be said to be the voice of the people, but the voice of each person is heard as a dark emotion in the heart. Everyone has dark emotions, when they are treated unfairly, or after something unfortunate happens to them, there will be dark emotions, why me, this bastard, I'm going to kill him, etc., most of the time, this dark mood lasts for a while, after a while, how to live or how to live. ”

"Are you trying to say that you can now feel that certain people will completely explode in their hearts at that moment because of certain things, and thus invade their hearts and become the kind of weirdos I just saw? A being completely eroded by the garbage emotions in your heart? ”

When Li Jie said the back, Ke Wen understood, and Li Jie also nodded in affirmation of Ke Wen's guess. And when he said this, Ke Wen could also feel the fluctuation of Li Jie's voice, and he could feel the pain in the heart of this native knight who was born after him.

"Seniors, do you know, they are all human beings, living people! This kind of dark emotion cannot be avoided as long as it is human, why do they have to become weirdos just for a momentary emotional upsurge? Even if it does, I can also sense those dark emotions accumulating, I tried to enlighten them, to help them, to get them out, but in the end, they still became weirdos! I don't understand, so senior, help me out, I want to know why! ”

In the end, Li Jie cried, a 24-year-old boy, and tears fell in front of Ke Wen. Kewen could feel his helplessness, the helplessness of having to kill him with his own hands after trying to save others failed.

That's enough, looking at Li Jie who was crying in front of him, Ke Wen can also understand why he is the second Kamen Rider born after himself, and why he is Kamen Rider. And he also recalled what the god who represented the rules of fate said to him after the old 52 Wally caused the rebirth of the memories of the old 52 universe.

The more you interfere with the operation of the multiverse, the more the universe will fight back against itself while acknowledging itself. Li Jie, who appeared in front of Ke Wen at this time, is an example, this is a big event that was born from this multiverse that does not belong to the old 52 universe or the new 52 universe, but only belongs to himself as a Kamen Rider at this time.

stepped forward and patted Li Jie on the shoulder, so that Li Jie, who was teary-eyed at this time, looked up and saw Ke Wen's smiling face.

"Since you exist here as a Kamen Rider, you have to understand a rule, knights and knights help each other, so the tears can flow now, as much as you want, but after you turn around, you have to wipe away the tears, and we have to find out why, don't we? We have to be like a man of steel, hiding this vulnerability to end this. ”

Looking at Ke Wen who encouraged him, he could feel the dark emotions in Ke Wen's heart because of hearing these stories he said, and he could also feel that this dark emotions were disappearing. At this moment, he understood that he had come to Ke Wen for help, and he had found the right one!

"Understood!"

wiped the tears from his eyes, followed behind Kewen, and rode away on a motorcycle, this big incident caused by him and Kewen is still waiting for them to solve it.

On the way, Kewen also turned on the car stereo on the locomotive, and a song "Iron Man" in his playlist also echoed at night. Listening to the free and easy male voice in the song, Li Jie, who followed behind Ke Wen, his depressed emotions also dissipated a lot.

wipe away the tears that did not fight after turning away

A bright smile mixed with sweat

···

Everything will be a past that cannot be erased

Traces that will slowly fade over time

Just let it go, maybe one day it will remember

I have overcome myself in life
