"Dragoon" time and space.

Xia Chuan opened his eyes in the light, and there was a glass wall in front of him.

In the mirror, his face is still the same, but he is wearing a professional blazer and a work ID hanging in front of him.

"Shen Yongxin II ......"

The name hasn't changed.

It seemed to be a shopping mall, with pedestrians coming and going, and Xia Chuan glanced around and carefully examined the objects on his body.

It's one thing to enter the time and space of the dragoon, and it's another thing to enter the mirror world.

Ordinary people can't enter the mirror world, and they can't survive in the mirror world, even if they enter by mistake, they will quickly decompose and disappear, and only the knights who transform into the mirror world can move normally in it, and the activity time is not particularly long.

Correspondingly, the monsters of the mirror world can't exist here for a long time, so most of the time they spend their time keeping an eye on their prey in the mirror, and they will only appear to attack when they find an opportunity.

Now he needs a Mirror World Knight to get started.

But......

There is no cassette used by Dragoon knights.

The knights here are all the same Kamen Rider system, and they control transformation and combat through a server-like core.

The key transformation item is a card cassette that sends a message summoning the belt to the "server".

Using skills is also to read cards and upload them to the "server".

Unlike the blade, the knight here can basically only use his own matching card, otherwise even if the reading is successful, the "server" will only think that it is a request made by the other party, which is equivalent to reading the card for the other party.

The person who controls the "server" is Shirou Kanzaki, who developed the knight system, and is a boss-like character in this world.

This can actually be said to be the world of the Kanzaki brothers and sisters.

Shirou Kanzaki developed the knight system in order to collect life force and save his sister.

Give the knight card set to a human who can bet on life and have their own desires, and concentrate life energy while the knight fights and becomes stronger, and finally transforms into new life.

For this reason, Shiro Kanzaki lied to the outside world that the winner in the end could fulfill all wishes.

Those who are selected by him to become knights will fight incessantly until the death.

Because there are traps in the knight system itself, each knight has his own transformation contract beast, and if he doesn't kill other mirror world monsters to collect life force, the knight will be devoured by his own contract beast in turn.

It's really devouring, not just out of control like the Plum Knight.

In order to better control the battle and maintain the mirror world, Kanzaki Shirou even gave up his body to become a creature in the mirror world, and used agents to intervene in knight battles when needed.

"Whew!"

Xia Chuan probably reviewed the information of "Dragon Rider", and at the same time basically figured out his identity.

A reporter who belongs to the same newspaper as Shinji Joto, the protagonist of "Dragon Ride".

There was nothing but a voice recorder, a camera, a pen and paper, a wallet, and certainly no card case, which was the symbol of the Mirror Knight.

Luck wasn't so good, and he didn't become a knight directly.

I can only go back and look for an opportunity, and see if there is a cassette that is not bound to the contract beast in its initial state.

Otherwise he wouldn't be able to do anything.

"Found a place, Shenei-senpai!"

A long-haired young man shouted loudly across the mall, looking extremely excited, and ran over without waiting for Xia Chuan to respond.

Just when passing by a shop booth, the young man suddenly accidentally tripped and fell, and a series of plates fell into a pile of pieces.

Hey, this guy......

"Bang ——!"

Mall security booth.

The corners of Xia Chuan's eyes twitched, and he settled the compensation and looked at the long-haired young man who lowered his head.

This guy is Shinji Shiroto, the protagonist of "Dragon Rider", but he hasn't become a Kamen Rider Dragoon yet, and he does rough things, and he will cause trouble for him as soon as he comes.

"I'm sorry, senior," Shinji Joto opened his mouth with a bitter face, "I'll pay you back when I get my salary." ”

"We'll talk about it then."

Xia Chuan shook his head secretly.

It's good that he has money on him, otherwise he would have been disgraced with this guy.

"What did you mean when you said you found a location?"

"It's the missing man named Koichi Sakakihara, I've found his apartment," Shinji Joto reinvigorated, "It's in Hakuzan, Bunkyo Ward, not very far from here. ”

"Koichi Sakakihara......"

Natsukawa followed the energetic Shinji Shiroto out of the mall.

This guy's card holder was picked up somewhere, and it looks like it hasn't been there yet.

You can also follow along to see the situation first.

I just owe money, and it makes sense to lend him the cassette.

"Kanei-senpai," Shinji Joto looked at uncomfortably, "what's wrong with me?" ”

"It's nothing, you'll be in charge of the interview today."

Xia Chuan has already looked at the newspaper website.

He seems to have replaced a veteran reporter at the newspaper, and Shinji Joto, who is still a trainee reporter, is led by him.

The old routine of seniors bringing newcomers.

However, he has no experience as a journalist and has no interest in it.

Let's let Shinji Joto find the initial set first.

"I feel like you're weird today, senior." Shinji Joto muttered a sentence and took the initiative to ride to the front to lead the way.

Bunkyo District.

Shinji Joto finds the apartment manager and goes upstairs from the verandah escalator with Natsukawa.

The apartment building looks very old, and it seems that not a single resident can see it because of an incident.

"It's a real headache, the police can't be relied on at all, and the rent can't be collected, please."

"Don't worry, we'll find out the truth."

Shinji Joto confidently assured the old man of the caretaker, only to turn around to find Natsukawa stopped at the top of the stairs.

"Senpai?"

"Whew!"

A cold air stream blew through the corridors.

Xia Chuan looked up at the glass of the tall building opposite, and faintly saw a crimson dragon wandering in the mirror reflection.

The contract beast of the dragoon.

It seems that the location is correct, and the original set is indeed here.

"Shenei-senpai?"

Shinji Joto shouted in confusion, and after seeing Xia Chuan enter the corridor first, he followed behind in a daze.

Today's predecessors seem to have changed as if they were different people.

"This is it."

The old man took out a bunch of keys to open the door.

The small room was dimly lit, and the windows were plastered with newspapers everywhere.

"I wanted to tidy up the room, but it looked eerie, so I didn't do it......"33

"Leave it to us."

Xia Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly and entered the room directly.

Almost all places where reflective mirrors exist are covered with newspapers, with one exception.

The blinds had a big hole, and the newspaper was torn up, as if something had burst out of the mirror.

"It's a little scary," Shinji Joto's neck was cold, and he pulled off a newspaper in confusion, "Why do you want to do such a thing?" ”

Xia Chuan picked up the black initial set that had fallen on the ground and looked out the window again.

The red dragon was still cruising outside, and it was a little more active when it was ready to move, and it was obvious that it was already eyeing here.

If there are no accidents, the tenant here should not be missing, but swallowed by this monster dragon.

These Mirror World monsters need to devour other monsters or human life energy to survive, and those who hold the cassette are more likely to be attacked.

"Shinji, you wait for me outside first."

Xia Chuan opened the curtains and walked to the balcony.

The figure of the red dragon in the glass of the tall building opposite was even clearer, hovering back and forth several times, as if there was instinctive fear, but he didn't want to give up like this.

Xia Chuan's life energy is incomparably strong, like a torch burning in the dark night.

Circling again, the red dragon finally couldn't bear it anymore and roared and rushed out of the mirror world.

"Roar!"

"Huh? Why ......"

Shinji Joto in the room didn't react yet, and when he turned around, he just saw the red dragon swooping towards Natsukawa outside the balcony.

"Senpai!"

"Bang ——!"

Xia Chuan picked up the box in his hand, raised his arm concentratingly, and greeted the red dragon with a circle of telekinetic light.

Some people died, but not completely......
