Chapter 4: Former Teammates

League J National Branch.

In the secret meeting room, an old man in a suit straightened his neckline in front of the dressing mirror, but a figure in a silver robe was reflected in the mirror.

"Really? A new batch of Kamen Riders has been picked out? ”

"Counting the consortium, a total of 100 knights were selected, and in addition, there was a danger level 2 green thorn in the old city, which has been eliminated by the knights on duty on the scene, 1 victim, 1 survivor, you must be very interested in that survivor."

"Oh?"

"It is said that Shinji Shinnaga was once possessed by Ultraman, and this time Kamen Rider also applied for the selection, so he returned according to your instructions."

"It's just a small role, find a chance to get rid of it, I hate things that are in the way of the eyes repeatedly."

"Yes."

The rear bent and didn't dare to look up, and secretly wiped the sweat before continuing.

"Sir, the frequency of strange people has been increasing recently, and the danger level has also increased to 2, and the headquarters wants us to provide detailed information, and may also arrange an investigation team ......"

"There is no such thing as absolute perfection in the world," the old man said in an indifferent tone, "since you have obtained the power of Kamen Rider, you have to pay some price, tell them that the appearance of strange people is not a disaster, but an opportunity for mankind, and the ultimate strength of Kamen Rider is not weaker than Ultraman." ”

……

Old town Saiba.

Xia Chuan saw the crowd at the funeral scene from a distance, most of them wearing black suits, and put down the incense ceremony with a solemn face and entered the venue with the ceremony.

A police car was parked outside the entrance to the site, and two officers appeared to be talking to a family member in a black suit.

It was a mother and son who were silent, and the passing guests occasionally tried to greet them but were stopped by the police.

Xia Chuan paused, took out his wallet from his pocket, and the picture of the middle-aged man finally breaking into particles appeared in front of him.

"Tsugami, it should be this mother and son."

After matching the ID information in the wallet, Xia Chuan took the initiative to put down the incense and enter the venue, and then walked straight to the mother and son who were being questioned by the police.

"Sorry, just go in for the farewell ceremony......"

A policeman subconsciously wanted to stop him, but when he got to his mouth, he was forced back by the police manual that Xia Chuan took out.

In the police system of country J, the police is already a very senior police rank, the police department is above the police station, the police is the police station, and then there is the police chief, the police inspector and the police director who has only one person in the country.

Generally, the chief of a large police station or the head of a section of the police headquarters is a police officer, such as the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Division.

Although Xia Chuan was removed from his public security position, his police rank is still there.

These two police officers should be just ordinary inspectors, and they are both one level away from the police department.

"Sir, sir!" Two policemen saluted nervously.

"Let me talk to Tsugami mother and son alone." Xia Chuan looked at the mother and son and said.

"This ......"

The two policemen glanced at each other, and finally nodded knowingly to make room for Xia Chuan.

"Who are you?" The woman noticed the movement of the two policemen, and her eyes were full of doubt.

"I'm Shinji Shinji."

Natsukawa handed the wallet to the woman, and by the way, took out the boxed GUNPLA he had bought from the bag.

"This is Mr. Tsugami's relic, and I will hand it over to you now."

"Why?"

The young man next to him had red and swollen eyes.

"Aren't you police? Why didn't you do anything when it happened? What's the use of coming over now?! ”

Xia Chuan quietly met the young man's gaze.

It looks like he should have cried, but he stubbornly held back his tears in front of outsiders.

There was no crying, but the silent tears were even more sad.

"I'm sorry."

Xia Chuan didn't say anything in the end, left something behind and turned to leave the scene.

"Kaminaga!"

A car on the side of the road rolled down the window, and Hiroko Asami, dressed professionally, tried to squeeze out a smile to greet her.

Although they have the same face and the same body, Shinji Kaminaga is not Ultraman after all, not the special partner she knows who is curious about the human world and even willing to sacrifice herself.

Every time she meets, she thinks of Ultraman, and she can only try to hide the pain and sadness in her heart with a smile.

"Long time no see."

"Hiroko."

Xia Chuan nodded and sat in the passenger seat, not caring about the strange look on Hiroko's face, and silently withdrew his gaze from the mother and son who were crying in a low voice.

"I'm sorry for you to run."

"Nothing, by the way."

Hiroko Asami glanced curiously at the mother and son in the dining room, and turned around to take out a paper document.

"The information you want is here, I don't know if it's useful to you."

"Thank you anyway."

Xia Chuan took the information and flipped through it.

The first page is a drive that is very similar to the Kamen Rider belt, but the whole body is silvery-white, and there are no superfluous parts.

Belt shuttle.

"This is the original shuttle, also known as the prototype," explains Hiroko Asami, "It was the only way for humans to obtain Kamen Rider power before the Kamen Rider Drive was developed, and of course it has become an alternative now, and it is the only way you can get Kamen Rider power." ”

"Prototype?"

Xia Chuan flipped to the follow-up information and took a closer look.

He had only heard about it before, but he did not know it in detail as much as he did today, and the official did not release specific information.

Hiroko Asami is right, the formal way doesn't work, he can only go black.

Just how do you get a physical machine?

Even if it's only an option now, items that can be used to gain knightly power are still controlled items.

"Don't worry."

Hiroko Asami smiled and pretended to pat Natsukawa on the shoulder lightly.

"Although the shuttle can obtain Kamen Rider power, it is not as simple as imagined, the failure rate is as high as 90%, not to mention the need to endure great pain, and most of the final results are ordinary knight power,

There are still some first-generation aircraft that have flowed into the civilian sector, and there may be some in the equipment class, and I have asked my colleagues to help inquire, and I will tell you as soon as there are results. ”

"Thank you."

Xia Chuan opened his mouth, his silent character didn't know what to say, and the car became slightly cold for a while.

"You really don't like to talk."

Hiroko Asami shook her head with a wry smile.

It's clear that she's no longer Ultraman, but her personality doesn't seem to be the same, and it feels like Ultraman is back.

It's a damn sense of confusion.

"Okay, go back and wait for my news, if you can successfully transform into Kamen Rider, I'll try to introduce you to the top."

"Not really, I don't want to go back anymore."

Xia Chuan silently took the materials and got out of the car.

He doesn't trust the alliance, and the resistance to applying for Kamen Rider qualifications in the past few years may not be related to the above.

"Hiroko."

Xia Chuan suddenly stopped and turned to look at Hiroko Asami, who started the car.

"Can you tell me a little bit about Ultraman? What happened in the final battle, and ...... Why does Ultraman care so much about humans? ”

The reason why the development of this world and "New Ultraman" deviates so much may only be clear to these Ultraman teammates.

"I don't know."

Hiroko Asami's movements paused, and her nose was slightly sour to avoid Natsukawa's gaze.

"We're sure he'll come back, but you're the last to wake up."

"Buzz!"

The sedan drove past with the sound of the engine, leaving Xia Chuan to think alone.

"Don't worry, I won't waste Ultraman's life."

"Ah——!h

"Help!"

A violent commotion suddenly woke Xia Chuan up behind him.

When I looked back, I saw a large number of visitors rushing out of the funeral scene in panic, and in the chaos, you could even hear the sound of gunfire and strange yells.

"Bang bang!"

What's going on?

Xia Chuan looked directly at the field through the crowd and found the figures of two green-skinned monsters in the burst of gunfire.

Green Thorn?

Just kidding, right? It actually appeared during the day, and it was still such a crowded place!
