please call me the magenta devil

Chapter 27 27. Changes
In an alley without surveillance.

Lu Xingzhou, who had transformed from Yake back into a human body, was covered with fine cold sweat.

Staring at the Ark Driver-One in his hand, Lu Xingzhou's gaze was indescribably solemn, and his ears were filled with the sound of deep breathing.

The scenes just now flashed through Lu Xingzhou's mind, and finally settled on the conversation between the beetle-shaped vampire ghost and Du before his death.

For some reason, after taking off the Ark driver-One, Lu Xingzhou always felt a little guilty.

Let a child witness his father's death and be unable to avenge his father...

It's a bit too much.

Lu Xingzhou frowned, and casually threw the Ark drive-One and Ark-One key into the system space.

Immediately, he threw out a card to summon the Mechanical Decade, and walked slowly towards the locomotive with his hands in his pockets.

The sun did not know when it rose, and sprinkled in the alleys through the gaps between tall buildings.

Lu Xingzhou walked into the sunny place from the shadow of the tall building, and stretched out his left hand uncomfortably to block the light.

Leaning on the Mechanical [-]th, Lu Xingzhou took Bao Huazi and a lighter from the system, lit a cigarette, held it in his mouth and took a puff.

"call!"

Lu Xingzhou held the cigarette in his right hand and pulled it away from his lips, and then exhaled a beautiful smoke ring.

Looking into his deep eyes, the spark of thoughts ignited into a raging fire.

The birth of a smoke ring was actually the result of carelessness.

The taste of nicotine and tar relieved Lu Xingzhou's brain a little.

Lu Xingzhou is not addicted to smoking. He only smokes one occasionally when he is depressed. Every time he is discovered by the master, he always smokes.

When was the last time you smoked?

Lu Xingzhou remembers that it was the period before time travel.

In school, he caught a seller of contraband and told him to take him to the Academic Affairs Office to issue a disciplinary order.

Selling contraband to Lu Xingzhou's head is really a boring life.

Later, the guy was expelled. When I inquired, I found out that the guy had a criminal record, and the punishments accumulated to the point where he was directly expelled from the school.

I heard that that guy did these things because his mother was sick and hospitalized.

Then the guy's classmates said that they often saw that guy playing games in Internet cafes for days and nights.

I'm so stupid, really...

Thinking about the past, Lu Xingzhou stuffed the cigarette in his hand into the cigarette case and crushed it.

Throwing a pack of cigarettes and a lighter into the system space, Lu Xingzhou let out a mouthful of foul air, then stepped onto the Mechanical Decade, twisted the handlebar and drove out.

The scenery and pedestrians on both sides of the street turn into flowing colors, and in that flowing color, he is the magenta swimming upstream.

Back at Guang Photo Studio, Mr. Guang was about to make breakfast.

"I am back."

As soon as the door was opened, Lu Xingzhou could smell the aroma of fresh shellfish miso soup in the air.

"Oh, Xiaolu gets up so early every day? Hey...this dress looks pretty good."

Mr. Guang stuck his head out and looked curiously at Lu Xingzhou, who was approaching slowly, and blinked.

"Well, I prefer to get up early and exercise. Thank you for the compliment."

Lu Xingzhou poured a glass of water to moisten his throat, and nodded to Mr. Guang with a bright smile on his lips.

"Has Xia Hai and the others gotten up yet?"

After looking around and seeing no one else but Mr. Guang, Lu Xingzhou asked.

"Ah, Xiao Xiahai and Xiao Lan have already gotten up and took Xiao Shi out to look for Xiao Yusuke. Really, I saw Xiao Yusuke going into the room to sleep last night, but this morning Xiao Lan went to find Xiao Lan. When he did, he discovered that the person was missing.”

The old man Guang spoke eloquently, the eyeballs under the presbyopic glasses rolled with agility, and then he turned around and continued to work.

"...Is that so..."

Lu Xingzhou put down the water glass in his hand, paused, and said slowly.

By the way...what will happen to Yusuke Onodera if he is corrupted by human malice?

Lu Xingzhou hesitated.

After transforming into Yake, the good part of Lu Xingzhou's personality was suppressed, so that he behaved so ruthlessly in battle.

Has malice affected thinking...?

Lu Xingzhou recalled the various scenes of himself transforming into Yakeyi, and was in a trance for a while.

Have you become a real demon?
The power of this Yak is indeed powerful...but it seems that he is not yet able to fully control it.

What he did would lead to bitter consequences, which Lu Xingzhou had thought about when he released his transformation.

But Lu Xingzhou would not say anything about regrets.If you did it, you did it. As far as the result is concerned, I was right. As far as the impact is concerned, the transition of this world may suffer a lot.

But at least that little kid survived. You must know that Lu Xingzhou, who was so malicious at that time, really had no hesitation in killing Du!
Although it was saved by making a deal with others, in many cases, being alive is a blessing.

By the way...where are my things?
Only then did Lu Xingzhou remember what the voice said.

Imperial stone!

The entire Kamen Rider series can be regarded as high-quality treasures!
As if he heard Lu Xingzhou's heartfelt voice, that voice sounded in Lu Xingzhou's ears again.

"Go to your room."

Lu Xingzhou glanced at Mr. Guang who was slowly arranging the dinner plate, and trotted into his room.

Koei Jiro, who was shaping the grated radish into balls and placing them next to the egg yakisoba, slowly raised his head, a glimmer of light flashed in his deep eyes under his reading glasses, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved.Then he immersed himself in his work and continued working.

As soon as he stepped into the room, Lu Xingzhou was engulfed by a sudden dimensional wall.

Under the dim sky, a handsome man in a black tunic suit and a middle-aged man in a khaki coat and a hat of the same color stood looking at each other.

Life has become a rare thing in this endless desert. There is no hopeful oasis, only the sky full of yellow sand and the venomous sunshine.

"Lu Xingzhou, please accept this power. I hope you can stop Decade, he will destroy the world! If possible, please take Guang Natsumi and stay away from Kadoya Shi. That child is a very important person."

Narutaki held a large red gem in his hands, his eyes glowed with sincerity, and he spoke sincerely every word.

"Who are you?" Lu Xingzhou pretended. If he directly called out Mining Taki's name, the other party would definitely start another conversation, thus giving the dog author a chance to create a high number of words.

Therefore, Lu Xingzhou chose a new question that was consistent with his first meeting.

"Narutaki, that doesn't matter, the important thing is that you need this power."

"But... I am also a Decade."

Lu Xingzhou showed embarrassment.

"No, you are different. Although I don't know how you got the Decade drive that you haven't seen before, but you haven't experienced the previous stories, you are not a demon, you are the real Kamen Rider."

Narutaki shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with admiration.

Although this kid was using the Decade driver, which he owned the intellectual property rights for, it was a new version of the ship that he had never seen before. Moreover, the first time he met this kid, Lu Xingzhou gave Decade a good beating.

Would Narutaki not like this?
Bagana!
So after much deliberation, Ming Taki decided to give the Emperor Stone to Lu Xingzhou.

This isn't solicitation, this is investment, investing in Narutaki's optimistic future.

"Ah this..."

Lu Xingzhou was embarrassed by the praise, so he could only twitch the corners of his mouth in embarrassment.

Compliments, of course, to put it bluntly, this kind of thing... if you are serious, you will lose!
"But... Lu Xingzhou, this power was originally a bargaining chip for me to make a deal with a white devil. Now that it is in your hands, I can feel more at ease."

Narutaki smiled and his expression froze, then his face turned serious and he said in a deep voice.

Geek!

Lu Xingzhou's heart skipped a beat.Too bad, I forgot about this one.

Doesn't it mean that you are throwing yourself into a trap?

This Narutaki is just teasing me!
Lu Xingzhou clenched his fists.

Narutaki didn't think that he really found the real master.

After all, these days... owning multiple belts is still an unimagined path.

Lu Xingzhou's brain was working at a high speed, and immediately his clenched fists loosened.

Narutaki didn't have that much courage.

If he knew that he was Ya Keyi, Narutaki's personality would not come to face Ji at all.

"White demon? Narutaki-san, you're breaking the deal by doing this. Is this okay?"

"Demons...of course there will be heroes to defeat them."

Narutaki pushed up his glasses, with a mysterious smile on his face and a hint of madness in his eyes.

……

Lu Xingzhou returned to his room, caressing his waist, thinking about Narutaki's words.

However, Lu Xingzhou didn't think too much and began to feel the power of the Emperor Stone.

If you cut open Lu Xingzhou's waist, you will actually find a red gemstone - the Emperor's Stone.

Now Lu Xingzhou can feel the power of the Imperial Stone that is continuously transmitted to his whole body.

The Emperor Stone can be evolved by spending knight points. In the future, when the enemy is too fast to take out the Decade Driver, Lu Xingzhou intends to use the Emperor Stone to transform.

Why do you need so much power?Because when you use it, you will find that it is not enough...

At this time, there was an explosion sound from the sky.

Lu Xingzhou walked quickly to the window.

Not far from Delan castle, the rising mushroom cloud was so eye-catching that the castle Delan dragon covered his head with two front paws in fright.

Lu Xingzhou was shocked and uncertain.

"That is……"
