Master of Kaidan
Chapter 305 Purpose

Chapter 305: Chapter 305 Purpose

The rhythmic knocking on the door resounded. Fu Tianli, who was thumbing through documents, checked his desk to ensure there were no confidential files before speaking,

"Come in."

The office door was pushed open, and Xiao Zhang, who was on duty, walked in with a report,

"Team Leader, news from the Eastern Country has arrived."

"Oh, is it the progress of Experiment Group One?" Fu Tianli immediately perked up, reached out to take the report, but Xiao Zhang shook his head,

"There is, but mainly it’s intelligence on the Eastern Country Masked Riders."

"Eastern Country Masked Riders? Has the base been discovered?" Fu Tianli frowned, opened the report, and his expression froze for a moment, frowning again,

"Another Masked Rider group?"

"That’s correct, according to the information gathered by our people, last Tuesday, a large-scale Kaidan battle occurred in East Tianzhu Town, Chiba Prefecture, with more than thirty Kaidan involved.

"Two Masked Riders fought against them, one being the recently seen Female Knight ’Demon Rider,’ and the other the ’Evil Rider’ who once rescued the Eastern Country Masked Riders.

"The outcome of the battle is unknown, but there were reports of Masked Rider Evil Rider riding a motorcycle through streets and alleys afterward.

"Following this, areas where Evil Rider passed began to see the appearance of Masked Riders, most of whom had combat power comparable to ordinary Eastern Country Riders without any distinctive features; however, two Masked Riders exhibited unique transformations, calling themselves ’Gu Rider’ and ’Poison Knight.’"

Listening to Xiao Zhang’s report, Fu Tianli squinted at the description of the combat power of these Masked Riders in the report,

"Gu Rider cultivated Inner Strength?"

"That’s right, in fact, Inner Strength was discovered first, which then drew attention to him actually being Gu Rider. It’s noteworthy that Gu Rider is a native of the Eastern Country, without Yan Country bloodline, and has never been to Yan Country; his parents are also ordinary people, and the Inner Strength he cultivated has not been included in the Martial Arts Manual.

"Our people are currently investigating using Inner Strength as a baseline, and have already identified several featureless Masked Riders since the Evil Rider riding incident."

Xiao Zhang quickly pointed out the crux of the issue, Fu Tianli nodded, tapping his finger on the initial part of the report, speaking with a slightly subtle tone,

"The location where Evil Rider, Demon Rider, and the Kaidan fought... is East Tianzhu Town of Chiba Prefecture?"

Hearing the Team Leader emphasize this location, Xiao Zhang also found the name East Tianzhu Town vaguely familiar, and after a moment of pondering, he suddenly slapped his palm,

"Isn’t that the address from that call Xiao Chen received earlier? Team Leader, do you mean...?"

"That’s right, I think this Evil Rider, or rather these series of Inner Strength Masked Riders, might be connected to ’Mo Ju,’ or perhaps Mo Ju has somehow created Masked Rider-type Magic Items through Kaidan means, considering he possesses the ability to manufacture Magic Items."

Fu Tianli tapped the report lightly with his finger, the more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, finally slapping the table and decisively saying,

"Let our infiltrators try... forget it, let’s have Xiao Chen feel out the situation, no need to keep secrets, just ask directly. Remember, we are not after his technology; Masked Riders only have significance if they can produce on their own."

"Understood!"

Meanwhile, Feng Xue, having departed from Chiba Prefecture and circled around Tokyo Bay to reach Kanagawa, was experiencing the recently activated Poisonous Insect Body, sighing helplessly,

"Tsk, another mass-produced unit. Looking at his impressionable youth appearance, I thought we might get an exclusive Rider this time! Why is even the impressionable tendencies disguised these days?"

In these days, besides roaming freely across the land of the Eastern Country, he was also tirelessly spreading the seeds of the Poisonous Insect Body.

However, what was created was not Avatar Messengers but Masked Riders, mainly because he found the setup of Avatar Messengers "unable to be seen by ordinary people" quite disadvantageous for the spread of Kaidan unless the people of the Eastern Country were all Avatar Messengers; otherwise, it was hard to truly proliferate.

In comparison, the version from Rinko, using the Poisonous Insect Body as a driving program paired with the Transformation Device for transformation, was very conducive to spreading.

The only issue was that the Masked Rider system based on the Poisonous Insect Body demanded high "self-observation" capability, that is, the ability to "produce targeted `Identity`" in simple terms, the more impressionable, the more the Masked Rider system Feng Xue sent out could be utilized to the extreme.

But conversely, if the impressionability was lacking, they would become uniform in shape, looking like mass-produced units, with generally ordinary combat power.

Among the Masked Riders manufactured along the way, most were this kind of mass-produced model, and many of them had already been captured by the Kaidan Organization or the Eastern Country’s resistance organization.

Feng Xue didn’t pay much attention to this; his standard for distributing the Masked Rider system was if they were being attacked by Kaidan or on the brink of death due to certain accidents, he would merely give them a chance to change their fate.

But if they couldn’t grasp it, he wouldn’t continue the Rescue.

As for the Hundred Tales or the Eastern Country’s resistance organization researching the Rider system, he couldn’t care less. Unlike the modified system given to the resistance organization, the Masked Rider systems Feng Xue mass-released were essentially only hardware; the Poisonous Insect Body was the software for these transformation devices. Without the Poisonous Insect Body, even with a Transformation Device, it couldn’t be used.

And the reason he created so many Masked Rider systems was naturally simply—

To add trouble for the Hundred Tales.

Through his observations during these days, he found the Eastern Country was currently at a very interesting phase where the resistance organization’s semi-finished Masked Riders and the Kaidan Organization had reached a subtle balance. Though both sides were striking against each other, they faintly formed a mutual cognition balance.

Even as Kaidan continued to die in the conflict, the cognition of Kaidan was also changing. Feng Xue didn’t know if this change was deliberately guided by the Hundred Tales, but he vaguely sensed that the Hundred Tales seemed to intend to manipulate the "common origin of enemy and self" characteristic of Masked Riders to make a point.

However, this made him, the "original Masked Rider," extremely conspicuous.

He had pondered before why in such a tumultuous time, the Hundred Tales would use their once-a-year Big Killer to pull him out, even for the sake of setting an example; it was too much.

But considering from this perspective, his existence became a target the Hundred Tales had to address.

So, the Instant Death Gun wasn’t important at all; the truly important thing was, in fact, the Masked Riders themselves—or rather, it was the Masked Rider System, this Companion Phantom Object!
