Chapter 135: with translation of chapter title

The ticking of the clock rang, and sunlight shone down through the transparent window.

Jiang Xia gently opened his eyes; at the center of his pupils, a golden vertical slit slowly brightened in the deep black, as if a large reptile were gnawing on prey.

In an instant, it returned to a clear, translucent black.

According to his usual habit, he should now be heading to the fortress to continue expending his inner strength.

But this time, he slowly sat up, because it was no longer needed.

The clothes hanging nearby slipped onto his body of their own accord, requiring no movement,

The whole motion had an inexplicable sense of harmony, and everything in the room arranged itself in order automatically.

He lightly walked out of the room's door; although everything here had been moved away,

After passing inspection, those with good luck are directly assigned a job, while those with bad luck are killed on the spot.

"Why is the Accel memory still warm to the touch?" Zhao Jinglong picked up the memory and looked at Jiang Xia.

"What is this, monster mode?" Jiang Xia said helplessly, looking at his reflection in the mirror.

Detectives and police—only a small portion make good partners; most are ill-fated rivals.

"What kind of person are you? How could this happen? Hey!"

Moreover, since he began investigating the name Jingshan Shenhonglang,

he discovered it felt like contacting another world—a world belonging solely to the Gaia memory.

Ying burst out of the room and flaunted her clothes in front of Jiang Xia.

Indeed, after the powers merged, his mood became much more relaxed; later he'll go kill a mixed-body for fun.

"I am a rare genius; a mere mixed-body with ice‑freezing abilities isn't even worthy to hand me my shoes."

Zuo Xiangtao stared at the documents before him, lost in thought.

"These past few days, freezing incidents have been frequent—be careful not to be turned into an ice sculpture by someone."

She swung her legs, which were almost perfectly curved and lifted, twice, with a look of disdain.

Jiang Xia pushed Ying out the door.

Sunlight poured in; the shadows inside seemed to have vanished, and under Ying's smile they became as clear as flowing water.

Zhao Jinglong looked at the empty underground and said to Zuo Xiangtao, who had followed him.

If you want to find his location, you can only rely on Philip—the masked woman said Philip possesses the ability to know everything.

Those clear eyes were like a sparkling water surface.

But some things remained here, such as the noise.

"Accel drive, why do you have this?"

"Open it and you'll see; this could be considered a cycle of cause and effect."

It was as if a huge creature were slowly coiling around oneself,

"Hey, look, this is my new outfit—I plan to go shopping with Yashizi today."

Recently, freezing cases have been frequent; he suspects it was Jingshan Shenhonglang who did it.

Therefore, after the liberation, Jiang Xia filled this place with all kinds of vehicles.

Zuo Xiangtao said with a look of disdain.

【AccelMAXIMUMDRIVE】

A crimson aura ignited instantly from the motorcycle, its power supplied by the Accel memory,

evenly delivered to both wheels, the firm tires gripped the ground tightly.

"Good, good, good—no one can match you; go play, I still have plenty to do."

Zuo Xiangtao watched as a person in red clothing directly opened the passage leading to the underground compartment,

inside could be placed various W-type support tools, each item extremely dangerous.

After Ying left, Jiang Xia also took the door and locked the clock shop.

Though it seems he was the one who broke it, this time he won't charge money.

Jiang Xia looked Zhao Jinglong up and down, handed him the box in his hand, and said, "Don't break it again."

Although it's just a very ordinary outfit, it looks extraordinarily fitting on Ying.

"That's even stronger than your Evolution male." Zuo Xiangtao adjusted his hat and whispered.

The underground garage door rose slowly, the engine roaring, and Jiang Xia inserted an engraved‑A purity memory into the side memory slot of the motorcycle.

Generous Conglomerate X lacks nothing, wants a hand in every project, but what it lacks least is money,

Zhao Jinglong looked at the man before him with a puzzled expression, "Do we know each other?"

Zuo Xiangtao felt a sudden, inexplicable anger upon seeing this person.

The pupils narrowed into vertical slits, like a snake's, but with a base color flowing like lava.

Police, we never welcome cops here; a detective surviving in this cruel world won't easily bow to authority.

Jiang Xia released the brake—boom! —the engine boiled over, like a speeding van,

at a speed that could not be stopped, rushing up the slope—however, Jiang Xia shot from underground into the sky.

Then he felt the terror of watching himself suffocate to death, eyes wide open.

This counts as the first time, after completing his studies, that he personally modified the drive.

He also felt helpless; after being rescued, he never saw the masked woman again.

Unfortunately, this is the Knight universe, and he is truly a pure‑bred Earth organism.

Ding‑ling!

"Really, is it really necessary to look over these already‑solved cases one more time?"

Having Yashizi as a friend accompanying her feels pretty good; her family background is clean.

"This case is actually interesting, take it on."

Jiang Xia treats this place like his own home, skillfully taking out the coffee beans stored in the cabinet,

He brewed a cup of coffee, the whole motion unusually smooth, as if he had lived here for a long time.

The door opened, and the person who entered wore all white, holding in his right hand a box wrapped in aluminum alloy, looking like some kind of researcher.

"You're the first person to call me that, a half-baked detective."

"My father is a Kamen Rider, and my friends are Kamen Riders too,"

"Although he has no strength to bind a chicken, he can still wander around slapping people with a slipper."

"Even the Accel Driver and memory were taken away, leaving him only the Engine Sword."

Jiang Xia casually picked out a bright motorcycle, sat on it, and looked at himself in the mirror, gazing at his current face,

"Are you that Evolution guy?" Zuo Xiangtao shouted as soon as he saw the person entering.

Wearing a blue-and-white small cloth dress and sandals that revealed her tender white toenails,

She lightly turned in a circle in front of Jiang Xia, gliding past him.

A clear doorbell chime interrupted Zuo Xiangtao's original plan to continue killing time.

Pure and clean, her originally soft face seemed to flow with radiance, her eyes clear and transparent, as if they could see through everything.

At the Narumi Office, Zuo Xiangtao sat alone in a chair, looking at past case files.

Ayako went out shopping, Philip went to find someone, and the large office left only him, a lonely old man, staying here.

Jiang Xia stretched out his hand, making a fingertip universe gesture.

Jiang Xia froze for a moment, then laughed: "Quite fitting, but don't play too long,"

Fortunately, his police rank was high enough, so he easily locked onto this detective agency.

"I'm Zhao Jinglong, Fengdu police; I came for the recent freezing incident and the case from eight years ago."

"How do you know Philip? And also, who are you?"

If it were the neighboring Ultraman film set, the moment they saw his appearance,

they would likely be mistaken for an alien from some planet, and then chat with the local defense force about relationship issues.

"Because I fixed it, it should now work normally, though compared to the previous version I made a slight improvement."

But when he lightly blinked, his originally gem-like bright eyes had disappeared.

The underground originally occupied by the Claycis Fortress had been changed into a garage, where Jiang Xia's exclusive mount was parked.

Like a crimson sword, it sliced open the sky.

Furthermore, as a Knight, not having a dedicated motorcycle simply won't do.

"Isn't Philip here? I want to find him to help me look up something."

"I just tested it a bit, and the power is not bad."

The motorcycle really almost flew up to the sky, but fortunately he can fly, so it landed safely.
