Chapter 171

Inside the clean and tidy library, as far as the eye could see were rows upon rows of wooden bookshelves, filled with endless books.

"The Tiandao quotations are truly inspiring." Jiang Xia sighed, slowly putting the book back in its place.

"As expected, Tian Dao Shu Hua is the adopted sister of the Heavenly Dao Chief."

This was the conclusion he reached after reviewing the materials.

The Heavenly Dao Chief and Tian Dao Shu Hua have no blood relation; the Heavenly Dao Chief was adopted, and his original name should have been Hishikubu Zongsi.

Seven years ago, when he still bore the surname Hishikubu, the Chief personally witnessed his parents being killed and mimicked by the Original Insect.

After that, the Chief followed them until the meteor of the Alien Insect destroyed Shibuya, after which his mimicked parents were crushed under the rubble.

Jiang Xia read their files with a complex expression, and afterward the Chief was adopted by the Heavenly Dao Grandmother and changed his surname.

The records state that the Heavenly Dao Chief's belt was given to him by his parents, who were Original Insects; that is to say, the Godspeed Love parallel world did not appear.

"Tian Dao Shu Hua, 13 years old, a junior high student, is the sister of the Heavenly Dao Chief, living not far from here in the Heavenly Dao household, and she usually likes the dishes the Heavenly Dao Chief makes...."

Jiang Xia looked at the girl before him and recited her file.

If she is the Heavenly Dao Chief's sister, we cannot simply erase her memory as we would with others.

Jiang Xia has not forgotten that his strength has dwindled to a tenth of what it was.

Now he can barely handle juvenile Alien Insects, let alone adult ones with acceleration ability.

Even just concealing his traces makes him feel fatigued.

"You, how do you know about me and my brother?"

Tian Dao Shu Hua looked in astonishment at the unusually familiar Jiang Xia and said.

Just being able to encounter an extraterrestrial is already a miracle.

But the extraterrestrial actually knows me and my brother.

She has never heard that her brother has extraterrestrial friends.

"I have known Tiandao for a long time; he is an extraordinary person."

Jiang Xia spoke.

The Heavenly Dao Chief is absolutely a rare knight in the knight world who starts at max level, and he also possesses great personal charisma.

In Tian Dao Shu Hua's astonished gaze, Jiang Xia slowly walked toward her.

As Jiang Xia's steps advanced, his body gradually emitted a crimson light.

Tian Dao Shu Hua felt that attraction once again, her gaze becoming dazed, and she unconsciously walked toward Jiang Xia as well.

That crimson light gradually formed in Jiang Xia's hand, a beautiful crimson spherical gem directly occupying Shuhua's eyes.

"Here, take this as a gift for our first meeting."

Jiang Xia extended his hand and spoke gently.

Having said that, his body vanished before Tian Dao Shu Hua's eyes.

Shuhua stared blankly at the gem in her palm, then shook her head sharply and came to her senses.

She looked at the surrounding lawn, intact and unchanged; without the gem, she would have thought it was her hallucination.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xia is currently in an invisible state, sitting on the roof of a white van.

He has no currency in this world, so he can only pick a lucky guy to hitch a ride with, because he has smelled the Alien Insect.

However, his luck seems pretty good; the passengers in this van are not ordinary people.

Jiang Xia's gaze slowly penetrated the van's thick shell, seeing the interior situation.

The rear half of the van differs from a normal van; it is a small command room.

It is very quiet, with only occasional keyboard clacks; several computers are placed here, their monitors occupying most of the space.

Inside are three people: Tashiro Xiu Yi in a black suit, his assistant JiaYouYue, and an intern, Kagami Xin.

These three people constitute ZECT's current mobile command center, responsible for monitoring the Alien Insects' movements and having direct contact with headquarters.

The vehicle's outer shell uses an alloy material capable of resisting direct Alien Insect attacks; the roof has an infrared laser responsible for scanning the insects' internal temperature and also commanding the on-site Ant Soldiers.

At this moment, the red light inside the command room began flashing rapidly—a warning.

"The Alien Insects have appeared." JiaYouYue, with black hair and wearing a white shirt, spoke into the microphone to contact ZECT headquarters.

"We've already sent the on-site Ant Soldiers after it; this time we must definitely take it down."

SanDaoZhengRen stood at ZECT headquarters, his eyes cold, his attitude firm, and replied.

"Understood." Tashiro Xiu Yi cut the connection.

"Miss Jia, how is the person headquarters sent?" Kagami Xin asked, bewildered.

He is currently just an intern; although he has undergone ZECT training, he is still a newcomer with almost no field experience.

"We haven't made contact yet; we just need to do our own jobs, no need to worry about so much." JiaYouYue replied in a flat tone.

The electric sound grew from small to large, like the noise of lightning building up in the clouds.

The friction sound began to intensify, making the originally quiet command room especially noisy.

Kagami Xin suddenly looked at the package behind him and opened it with both hands.

All he saw was a metal-textured belt continuously flashing with electricity and constantly vibrating, as if sensing something.

While riding his motorcycle down the road, the Heavenly Dao Chief suddenly felt the rear of the bike become extremely heavy, as if something were continually pressing down on the back seat.

He stopped the motorcycle, opened the package behind him, and inside was a belt identical to the one in ZECT's mobile command room; likewise, this belt was also flashing with electricity.

On top of the van, seeing the belt continuously flashing with electricity, Jiang Xia smiled and, in unison with the Heavenly Dao Chief who had stopped at the roadside to check his own belt, said: "Finally awakened."

With ZECT's ready-made belt, Jiang Xia no longer needs to specially craft one or steal someone else's.

Although the number of Insect Instruments is fixed, as long as Jiang Xia reaches a certain number of transformations, he can perfectly replicate the Insect Instrument.

Conversely, for him the belt is rather important; without a belt, even if he captures an Insect Instrument he cannot become a Kamen Rider.

This is also why his luck is considered quite good: a belt that no one has used and has no owner just lies before him.

"Rixia Bu Xu?" Jiang Xia's eyes narrowed slightly; he saw Rixia Bu Xu constantly fleeing, and he could feel that Rixia Bu Xu was not an ordinary person, but an Original Insect.

Now, as half an Insect King, Jiang Xia instantly discerned her true identity.

Original Insect — Rixia Bu Xu.

Rixia Bu Xu is an Original Insect born by Mimicry of Tiandao's parents; when the Original Insect mimicked the parents of the Heavenly Dao Chief, the Heavenly Dao Chief's mother was pregnant at that time, and the Original Insect fully mimicked that as well.

Therefore, Rixia Bu Xu is the Heavenly Dao Chief's sister who died before the Chief was even born; as an Original Insect, Rixia Bu Xu currently does not know her identity, and she has not yet awakened.

Rixia Bu Xu possesses considerable potential and power, but as a girl who grew up with a human identity, she does not know how to wield this great power.

Otherwise, a mere Alien Insect without Molting could be crushed solely by Rixia Bu Xu's Original Insect instinct.

"Bang bang!"

Continuous gunfire kept attacking the Alien Insect.
