A sharp pain shot through her stomach, and Shirase Mariko clenched her fists tightly to suppress a cry.
"It's okay, it'll be fine in a bit."
Lu Chen spoke casually, and only withdrew his hand after the X substance in his hand had completely melted.
"Transform quickly, don't miss the fusion opportunity."
At Lu Chen's prompting, Shirase Mariko quickly took out her clay doll memory and transformed into her clay doll form.
After transforming, Shirase Mariko's body was immediately illuminated with a brilliant green light!
Fortunately, the ceiling blocked it; otherwise, the green light would have shot straight into the sky, making it clearly visible to people within several kilometers.
When the green light faded, Lu Chen thought that Shirase Mariko's new form would be like Sonozaki Wakana's in the story, with tentacles growing from her back and her lower body turning into a columnar shape, which looked quite ridiculous.
This is not the case.
The clay figure that gained ultimate power didn't get bigger; in fact, it got smaller!
The clay doll in front of Lu Chen was just over 1.8 meters tall, covered in a close-fitting, snow-white ceramic armor with golden runes engraved on its body. Its head had hollowed-out stripes, and it wore ceramic high heels.
Rather than a hybrid, the clay figure in front of me looks more like a Kamen Rider!
Seeing Lu Chen staring blankly at her, Shirase Mariko was quite pleased and smiled:
"Master, do I look good in this form?"
Lu Chen snapped out of his reverie, nodded, and said:
"It is indeed quite beautiful, but it's not quite what I expected."
"This is my carefully designed plan! Actually, I really want to be able to transform into a Kamen Rider. I think I can get away with this form, hehe!"
Shirase Mariko put her hands on her hips and said with a smile.
What was said in jest was taken seriously by Lu Chen. He secretly remembered these words and planned to give them to Shirase Mariko when he found a suitable driver in the future, so that she could experience the thrill of being a Kamen Rider.
At the same time, on a rooftop.
Saionji was holding a photograph, which was a group photo of him, Igarashi, and Tenkuji Ryu.
Looking at the photo of Tenkuji Ryu, Saionji's eyes showed a look of reminiscence as she murmured to herself, "Tenkuji Ryu, you are an excellent leader, but I really hate this side of you."
As soon as Saionji finished speaking, a beholder suddenly appeared beside him.
This bespectacled demon was covered in blue armor, carried a guandao (a type of halberd), and had a long beard, making it look extremely fierce.
Saionji turned to look at the demon with eyes that resembled Guan Yu, a meaningful smile on his face, and said:
"Tenkuji Takeru's father has died. As his friend, I should help guide him properly, don't you think?"
(Zhao Qianhao) Guan Yu, the demon with the eyes, did not speak, but nodded solemnly.
Azuma Institute of Physics.
After completing the registration, a staff member appeared in front of Tsukimura Akari and the other two, and led them towards the laboratory.
Hearing that the three had come for Igarashi, the staff member scratched his head and said:
"You're here to find Igarashi, huh? But he disappeared ten years ago. I think you've wasted your time coming here."
Chapter 220 Yamauchi Misaki walked over and said, "This is a tanka."
Yamauchi Misaki quickly added:
"We have two purposes in coming here. On the one hand, we want to find information about Dr. Igarashi, and on the other hand, we have heard that strange things have happened here recently, and we are here to investigate."
After listening to what Misaki Yamauchi said, the staff member added:
"Yes, yes, there have been some strange things happening in that lab lately. Some people have reported hearing strange noises inside, and others have seen things floating in mid-air. It would be best if you could solve this."
Upon hearing this, the three exchanged glances, instinctively feeling that it was the work of the Eye Demon.
Yamauchi Mikiri clasped his hands together and said he wanted to go into that room to investigate.
Akari Tsukimura then mentioned that she wanted to see the documents left behind by Dr. Igarashi from ten years ago.
The staff readily agreed to the two people's request, since it was information from ten years ago, and there was no harm in showing it to outsiders.
So, Mikurichi Yamauchi and Takeru Tenkuji went to the room where the strange incident occurred to check if any bewitching demons were causing trouble there. As a science-oriented girl, Akari Tsukimura was the only one who could understand the documents left by Dr. Igarashi, so she went to another room to look at the documents.
Upon entering the room, Yamauchi Misaki shivered, sensing something strange about the room (CJFC).
He looked at Tenkuuji Takeru beside him and asked:
"Your Highness, is there a demon in this place?"
Tenkuji-sensei shook his head.
"No, it's very clean here, there's not a trace of the Eye Demon. That guy is probably gone."
The two walked around but didn't find anything unusual.
Fortunately, there has been new progress on Akari Tsukimura's side.
Akari Tsukimura found a notebook among many documents, which recorded that Dr. Igarashi had a private research institute, and the address was also written on it.
So the three of them immediately set off for the private research institute mentioned in the notebook.
This is a ruined area, and there's no one around.
After heading to the floor written in the notebook, the three of them indeed found a fenced-off research area. It was very clean and contained various research equipment.
Just as the three were each searching for key clues, Tenkuji Takeru's gaze was drawn to a paper fan.
He carefully picked up the folding fan and read the words written on it.
"In the next life, and even the life after that, I wish to meet you above the purple-dyed clouds."
Misaki Yamauchi walked over and said, "This is a tanka."
Tenkuji Monk explained:
"This is Benkei's keepsake. This is a short poem sung for him by Minamoto no Yoshitsune, the master to whom Benkei served."
"Benkei gave his life to give Yoshitsune the chance to escape."
"Realizing that this was a death, Yoshitsune sang this short song, hoping to meet Benkei again in the next life."
Miyauchi said thoughtfully:
"Since this is Benkei's relic, is it possible to summon Benkei's Eye Soul?"
"Maybe it really works."
Just as Tenkuji Takeru was about to give it a try, he suddenly saw someone hiding not far behind him.
That man was none other than Dr. Igarashi, with his graying hair!
Chapter 221 As Yamauchi Misaki released his right hand, a giant energy arrow shot out.
Tenkuji Takeru quickly chased after him, calling out Dr. Igarashi's name loudly.
Dr. Igarashi did not recognize Misaki Yamauchi and the others, and turned to run away.
When they reached the outside, Tenkuuji Takeru said as he chased after them:
"Dr. Igarashi, don't run away! We're not here to cause you trouble. I am Tenkuji Ryu's son, Tenkuji Takeru!"
Upon hearing the name Tenkuji Ryu, Dr. Igarashi stopped in his tracks.
He turned to look at Tenkuuji Takeru and murmured:
"Tenkuji Ryu, are you Tenkuji Ryu's son?"
Tenkuuji nods and asks:
"I want to know what exactly happened ten years ago? Was there a young brother and sister who were dragged into some kind of world ten years ago?"
"No, I don't want to hear it. I don't want to think about those things anymore! You can leave now, just pretend you never saw me!"
Igarashi shook his head.
Just as Tenkuji Takeru was about to press for more information, the sound of wind breaking suddenly came from behind him.
Tenkuuji Takeru subconsciously looked down, and then saw a Guan Dao (a type of halberd) slash past his head.
If I hadn't just lowered my head, my neck would probably be chopped off by now.
Looking at the beholder clad in blue armor and wielding a guandao (a type of halberd), Tenkuuji-zō muttered to himself:
"I knew things wouldn't be that simple."
With that, Tenkuuji Takeru took out his Eye Soul and transformed at lightning speed.
Just as Tenkuji Takeru was fighting the Broadsword Eye Demon, Yamauchi Misaki and Tsukimura Akari caught up.
Looking at the Guan Dao, the Eye Demon suppressed some worry and said to Tenkuji Sonzanouchi Misaki:
It seems His Highness is having some trouble. Should we notify Lu Chen and ask him to come and help?
Tsukimura Backup Group 1⑦⑨60③⑦⑨②0 Akari scratched her head and said, "I don't think we need to. 4278, doesn't Tenkuuji Takeru have other Eye Souls? Let's wait and see."
At the same time, Youli Xian also jumped out and reminded Tiankong Temple Master:
"How can you be so stupid? If you can't win, use other Eye Consorts to fight!"
Tenkuji Takeru thought to himself, "Oh right, I have other forms too." So he retreated at lightning speed, took out Robin Hood Eyecon, and completed the form switch.
