Since there is no way to break through the strange ability of Zi in front of him, there is no point in being anxious now.

Saori's eyes met the black and white knight in front of her. Since Azusa had no intention of killing her, that meant... did she want to say something to her?

"Zi, I know you've been the most stubborn among us since the beginning. You've never fully believed in teachings, have you?"

Even through the mask, Saori could imagine Azusa's face. Since the other party wanted to say it, then let him say it.

"Vanitas Vanitatum Et Omnia Vanitas. This is what we have long believed in." Saori tightened her grip on the gun. "That is why I hate life, because everything that happens under the sun is a worry to me. It is all meaningless and a chasing after the wind."

“I hated all my labor at which I toiled under the sun, because I must leave it to those who come after me.”

"Who can tell whether he is wise or foolish? Yet he is to have rule over all my labor and all that I have gained through wisdom under the sun. This too is meaningless."

"Saori..." Azusa was also born in Arius, and she could understand what Saori said. Having also experienced those twisted teachings and training at Arius Academy, she could also understand the truth in Saori's heart that had turned her into what she is now.

"Arius, I've been living in ruins since I was born." Saori tilted her head. "I've been toiling all day, sweating profusely, just to get a bite to eat."

After being expelled from Holy Trinity and placed under control, the Arius branch could only enter and exit the autonomous region through the catacombs. During a civil war several years ago, after the Lady took over the authority of the autonomous region and the authority of the student union president, Arius' living conditions became even more difficult.

As a child, Hiyori would search trash cans for something to eat to survive. Misaki, influenced by these upbringings, constantly contemplated suicide. The bandages on her arms and neck concealed the blood scabs and marks from strangulation. Atsuko donned a mask, and she was rarely heard speaking again. And Saori no longer held out hope for the future.

"The source of all suffering can be traced back to the Holy Trinity. They have robbed us of our right to salvation and have made us bear all the pain."

"Since there's no way to be saved in eternity, then let's just do evil!"

Saori raised her gun and pointed it at Azusa in front of her: "Now, get out of my way! Traitor, either get out of the way or kill me!"

"Question—" Two circles and crosses appeared behind Azusa again: "You want to save Atsuko, Hiyori, and Misaki. Is that right or wrong?"

"correct!"

Saori answered without hesitation, pulling the trigger. Flames streamed from the muzzle. The answer to this question had nothing to do with faith or dogma; it could be explained as saving Arius's soldiers... as long as there was such an excuse.

The lightning didn't strike, and Saori thought she had found a way to break through this interrogation attack. Having avoided the lightning attack, Saori's hands moved even faster, pulling the trigger and firing a series of bullets. At such close range, even with Azusa's agility, several bullets hit his arms.

"Hmm... Can the defense of Kamen Rider armor be this high?"

At this moment, Azusa felt a slight impact on his arm. He was well aware of the power of Saori's rifle. This was also Azusa's first time fighting as a Kamen Rider. If he were an experienced transformer like Danrito, he wouldn't even have made a move to dodge at first.

"The Kamen Rider armor has very high defensive performance against live ammunition attacks. You should be more confident."

Fen's voice rang out beside Zi's ears, "The opponent can't match your strength in punches and kicks, just use all your strength and make miracles happen."

As she spoke, Saori had already approached Azusa's body, trying to kick Azusa aside to break out.

"Get out of my way!"

At Fen's reminder, Azusa didn't dodge the kick, but met it head-on. When Saori kicked Azusa in the stomach, she was surprised to find that the opponent's body didn't move at all. Then, Saori's thighs were grabbed by Azusa's two hands.

“—Can’t break free?!”

Azusa's two hands clamped Saori's calves like a vise. This scenario should have been an action to create distance from the enemy, but due to insufficient intelligence, Azusa made Saori suffer a great loss!

"The strength of my hands right now... probably weighs dozens of tons. I doubt that even with all your training, Captain, you'd be able to break free from a grip of dozens of tons in one go, right?"

269. This is the only thing I can’t give up

Azusa's words made Saori's eyes widen, and then Azusa threw Saori over his shoulder, grabbed her legs and threw her out!

“Ugh!!”

Saori was thrown to the ground by the powerful impact, and the hat on her head flew off when she landed, and the mask on her face also fell to the side.

But even so, Saori held her gun tightly and did not let go. When she fell to the ground, Saori wanted to shoot back immediately, but the force of the fall was much greater than she had imagined. The moment she landed, Saori's mind even went blank.

"...Gu!"

Because the shock was too severe, Saori couldn't utter a word for a while.

"...Damn, the difference in strength and speed is so huge. ...Is it because of that strange armor?"

Saori twisted her body and got up from the ground, but Azusa stood in front of her again.

"Damn it... How long are you going to tease me?"

Saori raised her rifle angrily: "Is this the power you gained in exchange for your betrayal?"

Even Saori herself didn't notice it. She didn't know why, but she could have given up at that moment. Since everything was destined, then standing in front of him and stopping Saori from going to save her companions should also be part of fate, right?

"Ask a question."

"I will stop you from saving your companions. Is that right or wrong?"

"Don't act so high and mighty. He's just wearing some weird clothes!"

Saori's roar was heard, and Azusa stretched out his arms, blocking in front of himself and blocking all the bullets.

"wrong answer."

Lightning struck again, this time with even greater force than before. Feeling the pain of the current coursing through her body, Saori couldn't help but groan and gasp in pain from her throat.

"Asshole..."

"Ask a question."

Azusa's voice sounded again like a devil demanding death, as if to launch an additional attack on Saori.

Although the Mystery of the Sphinx cartridge does not include a dedicated gashacon weapon for the transformer, it instead allows the user to attack by asking questions. This method of counterattacking with questions, if successful, will hit the enemy regardless of distance and restrictions.

Saori heard Azusa's voice. She forced herself to stand up and wanted to leave, but her body had been subjected to continuous electric shocks and all the joints seemed to be trembling. How could she avoid the next question?

"If everything is nothing, then it's okay to abandon your ties with Hiyori, Misaki, and Atsuko. Is that right or wrong?"

"Asshole...don't ask that question in front of me..."

Saori gasped for breath, her anger evident in her expression. "Are you kidding me? Only them, only them..."

Thoughts of the past lingered in Saori's heart, weighing her down to the point of choking. That was her only remaining treasure, her only hope, her only light in the world. If even that light were taken away...

"No, this is the only thing... absolutely not allowed..."

A trembling voice squeezed out of Saori's throat, every word was heartbreaking.

"No... This is the only thing I can't give up..."

Saori staggered and held herself up. She didn't answer whether it was right or wrong, but this sentence had already answered it for her.

"correct answer."

The brewing lightning strike of punishment dissipated, and Azusa stood in front of Saori, her eyes lowered behind the mask:

"Captain Saori, if all suffering is destined, why did you show such a struggling and painful expression just now?"

"Hehe... If this is what you want to see, if this is the expression you want to see, then are you satisfied?"

Saori supported herself with all her might on her knees, breathing heavily. The successive electric shocks had left her almost unable to stand, and now she could only hold on with all her might. "In the past... I used to have hopes for the future. I often imagined what it would be like if I left Arius with the others and started a new life somewhere else."

Saori looked down at the ground as if recalling a memory, as if she could glimpse her own reflection in the dust. "The more hopeful we are, the greater the despair that comes when our dreams are shattered. If we hadn't held out any hope from the beginning, would we never have these painful feelings again?"

"So you gave up struggling." Azusa looked at Saori in front of him.

"Yeah, I gave up... I also realized that all my expectations were in vain."

Saori laughed bitterly, "You really have a cruel heart. Do you really want me to tell you about my hopes that will definitely be shattered?"

"Even if it's nothing, I will fight to the end."

Azusa's voice rang out, and Saori raised her head tremblingly: "Even if I struggle, what's the point... What I can't get, I will lose eventually. Struggling will only bring more suffering upon myself..."

"In this world filled with murderous intent and hatred, no matter how hard you try, it's all in vain!" Saori widened her eyes. "There's no point in struggling. Everything is in vain!"

"Hey, everyone, you're all in such a hurry, where are you going?"

Danrito leaped from the rooftop, landing right in front of Mika. The Arius squad behind her raised their rifles and unleashed a barrage of grenades the moment they saw him. Danrito casually raised his holy shield and took a defensive stance, absorbing all the attacks.

"who are you?"

Mika had never seen Danrito in Kamen Rider form, so naturally she didn't know who this purple knight was, but if he dared to stand in front of her, he must be trying to stop her.

"It's just a passing Kamen Rider. Remember this well." Danrito reached out and drew his Gashacon holy sword. "Well, it's time for this boring game of power grabbing by children to end."

Ever since receiving the news of Shengya's death, Weihua had been living in a state of confusion, adopting a reckless attitude towards everything. Whether it was the power grab or the alliance with Arius, it was like she had broken the brakes, unable to stop the train. Yet, a subtle resistance lingered in her heart. It was the only string that remained unbroken, hoping someone would stop this runaway train before everything became a complete mess.

And now, is the purple knight standing in front of him the one he is waiting for to stop the runaway train?

270.What is this tile?

"Well, this boring childish game of house and power struggle must be over. Now is the time to turn back from your wrong path, girl."

The purple knight, with his holy sword drawn, stood before Mika and the other Arius students. Although his words seemed frivolous and strange, Mika's intuition told her that this unknown purple knight was very powerful.

"Passing by Kamen Rider... If this is the line to invite a lady, it's not gentlemanly at all."

When Danrito stood in front of them and drew his weapon, Arius' students had already reacted instinctively.

They immediately raised their grenade launchers and pointed them in the direction of Danrito.

If it weren't for the fact that Weihua was their commander and their cooperative relationship hadn't been broken, they wouldn't have opened fire without her orders. But at this moment, the tension in the air had reached its peak.

"It seems like these students behind you aren't as easy to talk to as you are." Tan Lidou tilted his neck. "If children act naughty, they will be spanked, okay?"

Danrito took a step forward, and this action made Mika and Arius's students nervous, and Mika had to raise her submachine gun.

After all, they had never seen a strange fighter like Danrito wearing a full-body combat uniform and armor.

Those who look similar to Danrito are, firstly, the automatic combat dolls from those companies, and secondly... it is said that they are the actors in those special effects hero movies, and the Kaisertan team that is popular in Kivotos.

However, a young lady like Mika, who was not afraid of worldly affairs, would naturally not have heard of anime like Tokusatsu Sentai. And the Arius students behind her couldn't even be expected to have heard of such entertainment.

"Stop, don't go any further!"

Mika pretended to be calm. Now she thought of herself as an evil witch, so she had to do something bad. "No matter who you are, I will never allow you to get in my way!"

"That's hilarious." Danrito swung his holy sword and, with a push of his foot, charged forward. "I don't need your consent to do anything—there's an overwhelming gap in strength between you and me! Do you understand, Mika-san?"

"So fast!"

While Mika was stunned, Danrito in front of her had already crossed the corridor in front of them and swung his sword towards her.

Mika widened her eyes and barely kept up with Dan Rito's speed. She leaped backward and dodged Dan Rito's sword.

"Free fire!"

The captain of Arius's squad acted decisively and shouted. The students behind him immediately pulled the trigger and shot at the purple knight.

"Too slow, too slow! Is this your full strength?!"

Danrito relied on the action player's armor to move around, and all the grenades hit him. Although it was a little painful, just like a string of 200 firecrackers exploded on his body, but there was no Guanxi!

Mika complained loudly: "What do you mean it's too slow? Aren't all of them hit?"

"Haha, it's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about!"

These grenades were only minor injuries to Danrito. As he possessed the Gashacon Holy Shield, he also had the ability to "defend against students," probably due to the power left by that teacher.
