I'm really not Kamen Rider

Chapter 15: Zong Fang: There is something I have always wanted to say, that is, Jushan Chaoliba is really a good name

"As for Gurongi..."

Shenshan Taier pondered for a moment before speaking tentatively: "There are not many records about them. Perhaps they were lost over a long period of time."

"The story passed down in our family is that only the Gurongi are the same as us, and they are all a family that serves the sacred stone."

"But... something seemed to have happened to this tribe, which eventually led to the breaking of the spirit stone and the entire tribe being split in two."

"Some of them left the tribe with the more intact spiritual stones, and eventually met our tribe and settled down with them."

"And the rest... turned into fragments of spirit stones and disappeared."

"Later, there appeared such beings as Gurongi."

Kamiyama Taiji's tone is faint, yet it gives people a feeling of infinite reverie.

"Did they... turn into Gurongi?" Tiandao couldn't figure out what the necessary connection was: "The spirit stone fragments... are all meteorites from outer space, why did they turn into such monsters?"

According to Kamiyama Taiji, if the Gurongi are the guys carrying the spirit stone fragments, then how did they transform from humans into Gurongi?
They were both spiritual stones. The red stone that fell from the sky and was enshrined in his home looked extremely magical, while the other spiritual stone... just a fragment could turn a person into a monster like Gurongi...

Could it be that the two stones are one good and one evil, opposing existences?
So... the Shenshan family was burdened with the responsibility of exorcising demons and defending the way. Is it because that stone is a magic stone that can turn people into monsters?

"That's all I know. More stories have been buried in the passage of thousands of years." Shenshan Taier shook his head helplessly: "If you have encountered those monsters, then they must have fragments of the spirit stone on them."

"From a human being to that form, the traces left by the spirit stone fragments must still be there!"

"I understand." Tiandao nodded: "Then...what kind of existence is the empty self?"

“I don’t know.” Kamiyama Taiji said he didn’t know: “Regarding the records about Kuga, the book only says that he was a being that fought against Gurongi.”

"And in ancient times, it was Kuuga who sealed all the Gurongi, and since then..."

“Seal?!” Tiandao’s eyes suddenly lit up: “You mean, Gurongi was sealed thousands of years ago? And it was sealed by Kuuga?”

"Yes." Kamiyama Taiji nodded: "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't know what happened in the end..."

But Tiandao was no longer in the mood to listen to the words that followed.

Kuga sealed Gurongi, and the place of the seal was the ruins of Kurodake outside Nagano Prefecture!
That was the tomb where Kuga sealed Gurongi. Kuroyue's excavation destroyed the seal, causing Gurongi to break out, so Gurongi was revived again after a thousand years.

So that's it...it all makes sense!
"Grandpa, I have to go back to the Metropolitan Police Department for something!" After sorting out the relationship, Tiandao couldn't wait to inform everyone.

"We should report it to the higher-ups." Shenshan Taier nodded: "Tiandao, I know you are doing this to deal with the appearance of the devil. It's okay to share this little legend left by our family."

"But you have to be clear."

"The real enemy often comes not only from the enemy itself, but also from the most unexpected places."

Kamiyama Taiji closed his eyes and said nothing more.

"Remember, the way of heaven."

"You and Kuuga are the only ones who can protect the righteousness of the world!"

What you mean is... don't let my and Souga's identities be exposed to too many people?

Tiandao is not a fool. He certainly understands that he must conceal his identity.

He didn't want to be sent to the operating table for skin surgery like the protagonist in the story told by his grandfather.

...

"This is the footage of Unidentified Lifeform No. 1 appearing in the Metropolitan Police Department and fighting with Officer Kamiyama."

Inside the Nagano Prefectural Police Department, a group of police inspectors gathered together under the watchful eye of the Nagano Prefectural Chief. After turning off the lights, they played the photos collected during this period of time.

Of course, not all police inspectors came, at least Shenshan Tiandao didn’t come.

However, everyone also knew that he had fought with Unconfirmed Life Form No. 1. As a human being facing such a monster, he must have been seriously injured.

Not to mention that the spider went to take revenge that night, destroying Shenshan's house and causing serious injuries to Tiandao's grandfather. The general manager was still very tolerant of Tiandao's situation.

"This is Unidentified Life Entity No. 2." The police officer who was playing the PPT introduced it again, and the scene shifted to the white newborn Kuuga who was fighting with the spider.

"After No. 1 knocked down Officer Shenshan, No. 2 appeared and wrestled with No. 1, and finally disappeared."

"At the same time, this is a photo taken that night." The scene changed, and a fiery red track appeared on the photo, leaving a conspicuous mark in the city.

"We don't know what this is yet. It may be a completely new and unconfirmed life form, but it has not yet been observed."

"Next, number three."

A picture of a bat appeared on the screen.

"This is the picture taken of him and Number Four. During the battle with Number Four, Number Three escaped from the scene because he could fly."

"Next is number four."

"It has a highly similar appearance to No. 2, but is red in color and has a much larger horn. We don't know what its relationship to No. 2 is yet."

The projected image stopped on No. 4, and the director general spoke at this time.

"Four already...really..." It can be seen that the sudden increase in casualties during this period, as well as the appearance of these unknown monsters, have put him, the director general, under tremendous pressure.

He has to deal with those media reporters and appease the citizens...he has been very busy during this period.

"This is a serious situation indeed." The headquarter director sighed, "For the time being, we cannot be sure whether there are other unconfirmed life forms. We must prepare for the worst."

"Yes!" The police officers, including Ichijo, responded in unison.

The director nodded slightly, and at his signal, the projected photo of the unconfirmed life form was removed, and another photo appeared immediately afterwards.

"Well...we can't confirm his identity." The screen showed a picture of a raging fire in the smoke-filled ruins, but only some outlines could be seen, and there was no way to see a clearer appearance.

“This is a photo taken by a citizen of a mysterious figure appearing at the home of a police officer in Mount Kinabalu.”

"It was also him who eliminated the unconfirmed life form No. 1."

Gazing at the photo where only a hint of color and outline could be seen, he already knew who this person was at the first sight.

"He was not included in the list of unconfirmed life forms because some of the characteristics he revealed were different from those of unconfirmed life forms." The headquarter director also spoke at this time: "Those are very obvious... characteristics of the armor."

"It's like the armor worn on the body in ancient times."

The director rubbed his brows.

Ichijo pondered for a moment before speaking after careful consideration: "So... he is not an unconfirmed life form, but more like an... armored man?"

"Yes." The General Manager spread his hands and said, "So what happened in our time? Did monsters and ancient generals appear together?"

“It’s like a comic book plot.”

No one can answer this question, just as no one knows how unconfirmed life forms came into being.

"So we tentatively designated him as..."

"Steel Mask Man."

"Number one!"

One:…

Ignoring his subordinates who were silent, the head of the headquarters spoke again: "Since there is already a monster, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a person under this kind of armor."

No one followed up on this sentence because it was different from the biological signs that were clearly different from those of humans displayed by unconfirmed life forms.

This armored man, who can guarantee that there is someone underneath the armor?
