Chapter 434

This time Zhang Qiu belonged to the "quick go, quick return" type; she only went for two days and immediately returned to school. However, when Harry saw her, he noticed that her expression was unusually complex.

"What's wrong with you, Qiu?" Harry saw her appearance and didn't immediately bring up those plans.

"It's time to retrieve 'half the power', Harry." She said slowly, "Only you can defeat Evolt. I only know now that Master and Uncle told a monstrous lie; I don't even know who they are preparing to deceive."

"What power, what lie?" Harry said, completely confused.

"Let me tell you what I knew before first." She pulled Harry to sit down and opened the blue-covered notebook, "First, what can be determined is that every Kamen Rider who wants to obtain the 'Full Bottle' and unlock the final form must face the 'Enemy of Destiny'."

"Huh?"

"Just like the relationship between you and Voldemort, every Rider has a 'fated' enemy, and the existence of the Full Bottle means the Rider's power has reached its peak. Therefore, usually, it is only on the eve of fighting the Enemy of Destiny, or even during the battle, that the Full Bottle can be unlocked."

"Then according to what you're implying, it seems you know the Enemy of Destiny for every Rider?" Harry asked with some doubt.

"Not entirely; what I know is very limited. The only thing that can be determined is that Moon Rider's nemesis is the Vampire Queen."

"Huh?" Harry was deeply shocked by this conclusion, "Could it be that the entire Queen Plan is, but—"

"I think it's also possible that the cause and effect were confused." Zhang Qiu shook her head, "Perhaps it's because the Queen Plan exists that the Moon Rider belt was correspondingly made."

"Only Moon Rider?" Harry calmed down a bit, "What about the other Riders?"

"Master didn't tell me, or rather, he didn't say it very clearly, and then I didn't quite understand it." Zhang Qiu flipped the notebook to the most recent page, "He said Agito has to face 'Gods', Double has to face 'Eternal', OOO has to face 'Farewell', and Decade has to face 'All Riders'."

"This is too messy; is it some strange divination again?" Harry shook his head; he didn't hear the content he wanted to hear, "But you didn't mention Sacred Blade and his own Cronus."

"Sacred Blade is another matter, and my situation is also quite special," Zhang Qiu showed an awkward smile, "There is another legendary Rider named Ex-Aid, and Cronus is his nemesis."

"Huh? According to that, you are this..."

"Yes, I am a villain Rider. Although the starting point is high, I can never unlock the Full Bottle." She shrugged with a start, "No way, I've been locked by Occlumency for too long; if I want to obtain Rider power, I can only resort to this."

"Fine, it's not that I can't understand." Harry breathed a sigh of relief, "But what is the situation with Sacred Blade? What does this so-called nemesis and Full Bottle relationship have to do with Sacred Blade?"

"When I went back this time, I asked Master. I asked him how Sacred Blade should obtain the Full Bottle, but he said he didn't know either." Zhang Qiu took a deep breath, "This involves the true origin of the Rider system."

"What do you mean?"

"Before, I always said that this is a technology my Master developed once hundreds of years ago, and the so-called legendary Riders were also Riders that appeared when the Rider system was issued last time, right?"

"Yes."

"But I saw that photo, the person drinking coffee with Mr. Shouichi. He is exactly the same as the photo of Kuuga's transformer in the file, which aroused my suspicion: can people from the last era really live to the present, and be so young?" Zhang Qiu said excitedly, "I went to ask Master, and he admitted it. He said he lied to everyone; the so-called Rider system had never appeared in the world before, and this time is the first time they have been unveiled."

"That's not right!" Harry immediately retorted, "If it has never appeared, why do you have such mature theories, and even this nemesis, that obsession, etc.? This is too unreasonable?"

"Unless, unless," Harry suddenly understood, "it's that so-called lost civilization, right?"

"From Master's words, it seems that's how it is." Zhang Qiu breathed a long sigh of relief, "The reason he knows so much is because those are all deeds recorded by another civilization, and Sacred Blade is newly created by us this time. No one knows where his path is; we can only wait for the guidance of fate."

"So that's what it means." Harry dragged out a long tail sound, and then still showed a look of confusion, "But does this count as a monstrous lie? It's just to cover up 'Master Xuanjun knows the lost civilization', right? Even if this involves some taboos, now that Death is isolated, is this still so important?"

"Uh, this, isn't this serious?" Zhang Qiu said, confused.

"Is this serious?" Harry smiled and shook his head, "For us, whether the Rider system is unveiled again or is a record from a lost civilization, the things we have to do won't change, right?"

"Eh?"

"We are going to ambush and defeat Evolt next; are you going to participate?" Harry asked.

"Can Sacred Blade defeat him?" Zhang Qiu asked back, "Don't you think an important thing is missing?"

"As the Dark Lord, he can only be defeated by the Savior; no matter how hard others try, they can only weaken him. Only the Savior can truly defeat him." Zhang Qiu said seriously, "That's why I mentioned that nemesis, which is not only that Riders can only rely on their nemesis to obtain the Full Bottle, but also that the nemesis can only be defeated by the corresponding Rider who has obtained the Full Bottle."

"This is too outrageous; is there no logic at all?" Harry furrowed his brows, "Doesn't that mean that as long as that Ex-something doesn't appear, your Cronus won't be defeated? I don't think this is right?"

"Uh, strictly speaking, it's just a relationship similar to 'restraint', especially since Evolt is already very powerful. If you can't use the restraint relationship..." Zhang Qiu added in a panic.

"Then who defeated Evolt last time?" Harry raised his eyebrows, "Which Rider's nemesis is he exactly? Do I need to transform into that Rider?"

"It was Build, but you can't transform into Build, and it's also very difficult for us to find someone suitable to transform into Build." Zhang Qiu's eyes were a bit unfocused, "I can only say, fortunately, this time Evolt extracted Voldemort's elements, which led to him being restrained by you."

"In other words, 'nemesis' is not the only factor that can form a restraint relationship." Harry touched his chin, "For example, you used your rich gaming experience to restrain Bella, who is also Cronus."

"That's how it is."

"Then can I transform into Evolt?" Harry suddenly had a dangerous idea, "Evolt's formula is the Cobra Bottle extracted from the Horcrux, plus the Rider system bottle, right? And I am both the source of the Rider system bottle and possess the most special Horcrux. And if you hadn't said it, I would have almost forgotten: by logic, at this moment, I am the legitimate orthodox Dark Lord!"

"Can such a me restrain that half-baked Evolt?"

"I have never thought about such things..." Zhang Qiu was stunned for a long time before she could barely recover, "No, the main problem is that Evolt will resonate with the emotions of 'selfishness and looking for fun'. If you don't have these traits, you can't get resonance enhancement, so this plan is not feasible."

"Then what should I do?" Harry actually noticed another problem, which made him suspect that these statements were still in some lie, but he could basically determine that the person this lie was meant to deceive was not himself.

"You need to retrieve the power of the Rider system, or rather, feel the uniqueness fate has given you once again, and manifest it." Zhang Qiu said seriously.

"Fine, I will try my best." Harry paused, "But, Qiu, can you tell me, are those things you said before your Master's original words? You didn't hide anything, right?"

"No, I won't hide anything from you on this matter." Zhang Qiu shook her head firmly, "However, I did hide some other things, involving another secret, but I think this has little impact on the overall situation."

"Fine," Harry couldn't help it; he still wanted to say his deduction, "Then I think your Master is very likely to have told a second lie, and the person he wants to deceive might... be another person who also knows about the lost civilization."

But, to Harry's surprise, Zhang Qiu didn't say the name "Tang Tang Nade" at the first moment, but instead fell into deep thought.

"Don't you think this deception method is very familiar? Using the information gap of the information gap, just like that time on Valentine's Day last year..." Harry prompted again.

"No, I don't think it's that simple." Zhang Qiu shook her head, "I'm starting to suspect another thing now, because I remember a saying that if a lie can't even deceive one's own people, how can it deceive outsiders?"

"Right, isn't this just—"

"You don't understand, Harry." Zhang Qiu flipped the notebook forward a few pages, "Perhaps, another thing I have always believed in deeply is also fake. And this lie, which is full of loopholes, is to guide Tang Tang Nade to suspect that that thing is true, then..."

She flipped the notebook to a very early page.

"It's not time yet, Harry." Zhang Qiu said softly, "You can only obtain half the power first."

"What is 'time'?" Harry was a bit annoyed, "Do we have to wait until Evolt has fully evolved?"

"Maybe, maybe not," Zhang Qiu's smile became a bit eerie, "The real timing is when Tang Tang Nade is deceived."
