What is this? We can see Zaimokuza, who couldn't see us until I spoke, but at the same time he can see someone else we can't see?

Frowning at his own face reflected in the window glass, Hikigaya now felt a sharp pain in his head.

Everything that just happened was so bizarre and strange that just trying to figure out the situation made him feel like his brain's CPU was close to overload. He really couldn't figure out what the problem was, so in the end he could only sigh helplessly and turned to look at Zaimokuza.

"It's okay, I just feel a little weird."

"..."

He quietly looked at Hikigaya Hachiman, who turned his head and left only the back of his head facing away from him. His long and slender eyelids narrowed slightly, half covering his eyes, which were as dark and deep as ancient wells.

"Hikigaya Hachiman" stood in the service department room reflected in the window. He looked at the people gathered to discuss everything, and cast his eyes on the golden light curtain floating in everyone's body. An inorganic and cold light like mechanical gears flowed through his eyes.

"The power of the 'Book'... is you after all."

"What's your purpose?"

The voice he made was just like his eyes, both were so cold. No emotion could be felt in it, only extreme rationality. Especially when he mentioned the last name, the tone was like the ice layer hidden deep in the icy sea, and the cold breath below zero degrees shone through every word.

"Kamiyama Touma."

After saying this, "Hikigaya Hachiman" turned his gaze to the place where "Zaimokuza Yoshiteru" had just appeared and disappeared.

Looking at that position, for the first time, those eyes that seemed not to belong to humans showed emotions similar to "human" for the first time.

This emotion was extremely complex and difficult to describe in words. It was fleeting, and in the next second, it returned to its original emotionless look.

The figure of "Hikigaya Hachiman" in the glass began to dissipate rapidly from the soles of his feet upwards, like ashes blown away by the wind, and disappeared in an instant.

Only a dreamlike whisper remained, echoing in the reflection of the world.

"...Taimu Seat."

……

In your short life, is there anything that can be said to be enough to make you regret for the rest of your life?

Unfortunately, Xu Guoliang happened to own all three of them.

The first thing is that on the day of the college entrance examination, he should not set the alarm clock in the dormitory to six o'clock to ensure that he would not be late and to be well-rested. Instead, he should set it to half past six like other dormitories.

It was because of this extra half an hour that only five of the six people in the dormitory successfully entered the examination room that day, and as a price, he lost his best friend forever.

Because of this, Xu Guoliang felt uneasy when he woke up from nightmares countless times. He sat alone in the snoring of his college roommate until the darkness was pierced by the sunlight, and never fell asleep again.

After hearing the bad news, I was able to get a score good enough to enter a prestigious university in that mental state. I can only say that the cram school teacher was really helpful, and that he performed beyond his ability and hit the right answers on more than half of the questions on the test paper, and that I didn't want to disappoint my parents' expectations.

But he was not happy at all. The vacation after the college entrance examination should be the most difficult time in Xu Guoliang's life. He even went to see a psychologist for this, and the medical expenses were fully reimbursed by his alma mater.

The school was extremely considerate to this student who had risen from an average student to become a dark horse, and his best friend who had bravely stepped forward to act as a "hero". Even the dean of studies, who usually looked as if he was owed a million dollars, appeared so amiable in front of the media cameras. Xu Guoliang couldn't help but wonder if he had finally been possessed by another spirit, just as the students usually cursed him to be when their phones were confiscated.

The second thing was that I joined the Jingwumen Club in college to improve my physical fitness. Because I was quite handsome, a senior sister who was about to start internship in the club took a liking to me at first sight and invited me after an event.

"I'm renting a house outside, but I forgot to refuel my car today, so Junior Brother, can you use your electric car to take me to my apartment?"

But at that time, Xu Guoliang was in a hurry to get back to the dormitory to continue watching the latest episode of Build. His curiosity about what would happen after the savior Utsumi's declaration of allegiance in the previous episode completely occupied his mind, so he didn't realize the true meaning of his senior sister's words.

So in the end he paid for a Didi for his senior sister using his cell phone. After helping to close the car door and waving goodbye to the confused senior sister in the back seat as she walked away from his sight, he turned around and walked towards the dormitory without any reluctance, with a silly happy smile on his face.

After that day, the attitude of the senior sister who had been enthusiastic towards him changed 180 degrees. She was as cold as a goddess treating her dog, leaving Xu Guoliang completely confused as to what was going on.

It was not until later that Xu Guoliang found out that his senior sister did not live outside at all, and the address she told him at the time was indeed an apartment, but the word "lover" needed to be added in front of it.

Thanks to this incident, Xu Guoliang retained his precious and useless virginity for three years in college. Every time he thought of it, he would climb onto the roof of the dormitory and howl like a wolf. After a few visits, he became old acquaintances of the husky that the principal kept on the roof of the research institute next door. This made the students wonder for a long time where the principal got the second husky. They could clearly hear two wolf howls at night, but could not find the other one.

What? You mean a mining card?

What's wrong with mining cards?! Don't mistake a young girl for a treasure! That's because you don't know the value of a mature older sister!

The third thing is——

Xu Guoliang rested his elbows on the table, half of his face supported by his palms, and looked at a photo on the table.

In the photo, he is wearing a Kamen Rider Faiz suit and holding a helmet of the same style. He is standing with another person while making a V sign with an excited expression.

The man was tall, wearing a black hat, a black jacket and black pants. He had a smile on his handsome face and made the same V sign as Xu Guoliang.

In contrast to the joy on his face in the photo, when Xu Guoliang looks at the photo now, especially the person who took the photo next to him, his expression and eyes look sinister.

If a domestic special effects fan saw this person's face, his first reaction would probably be to exclaim:

"Evil Sword Immortal!"

That's right, the other person looks almost identical to the real-life actor of the protagonist of "Kamen Rider Saber", Kamiyama Touma, Naito Shuichiro, or in other words, they are exactly the same.

At that time, Xu Guoliang was attending a comic exhibition wearing a leather suit. He happened to see this person standing stealthily in the corner of the stairs with a book in his arms. He was clearly looking at the leather suit exhibition area belonging to Kamen Rider Saber not far away with curious eyes, but for some reason he just didn't go forward to participate.

Xu Guoliang thought that this person had encountered some difficulties, so he went forward to ask, but the moment he saw the other person's face, he understood why the other person was unwilling to come forward.

Especially when the other party responded to him in stuttering, not very fluent Chinese, Xu Guoliang was immediately shocked, and then overjoyed - Oh my god! This is the actor himself!

It is not surprising that the other party would have such a reaction. After all, if the actor himself goes to participate in the exhibition area of ​​his own work, then this comic exhibition will probably directly turn into a large-scale offline fan meeting. By then, special effects fans who hear the news from all directions will probably fill the exhibition hall completely.

The Japanese were afraid of causing trouble, so it was easy to understand. Therefore, when Xu Guoliang faced his request to keep it confidential, he agreed without hesitation, but added a small condition.

The condition was this photo and another autograph. After the comic exhibition ended, Xu Guoliang sent this photo to the special effects group. As expected, it caused a wave of envy, jealousy and worship, which made him very proud.

...But now thinking back, Xu Guoliang felt that he should have just yelled at the top of his lungs in the exhibition hall, "Teacher Thomas himself is here!", so that this guy would have been drowned by the surging crowd of fanatical special effects fans.

Looking back now, I can only say that Xu Guoliang did meet the real person at that time, but this "real person" was a little different from the real person he understood.

——Because what he encountered might be the real thing.

In other words, this Evil Sword Immortal is not an actor at all, but the real person!

No wonder when I said goodbye to this guy, his signature was "Kamiyama Touma" instead of "Naito Shuichiro". He just wrote his real name directly, but at that time I actually thought that the other party was satisfying my wishes as a special effects fan!

Even sighing that others are so good? Much better than domestic stars!

"...Now I finally understand why Stellius, who clearly hoped you would defeat him to start a new story, was so ruthless in wanting to kill you!"

Xu Guoliang looked at the photo with a twitching eye, and then a dazzling golden light illuminated his glasses, and an extremely gorgeous holy light bloomed from the photo on the table.

The moment he realized the truth, this ability revealed its true nature in front of Xu Guoliang.

After the golden light that filled the entire space gradually dissipated, the photo disappeared, and was replaced by a piece of paper placed on the table.

This page should be made of parchment, the page is a soft and warm brown, and the edges are covered with mysterious golden characters. The whole piece of paper has an ancient and elegant atmosphere, and a strange golden light is lingering on the paper.

Looking at the parchment placed on the table in front of him, Xu Guoliang could no longer hold back and burst out cursing.

"■■! The paper I signed back then is indeed a fragment of the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence!"

48. The Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence, activated! (Please remember the date of this chapter)

The paper was shining with golden light, which was deep and mysterious, and the expression of Xu Guoliang, whose face was illuminated by the golden light, was far more wonderful than the light.

He looked at the fragment of page that was so old that it seemed to have existed for thousands of years. Countless emotions surged in his eyes, but in the end, they all came down to the twitching eyelashes at the corners of his eyes.

The very next day after he got this page, he died in a very outrageous way.

"I knew that car accident was definitely not normal! This wasn't Chongqing, where would a normal dump truck appear on the eighth floor..."

Now he finally knew the truth about his ability, and finally understood why so many unexpected things had happened so far. Turbulent emotions surged in his chest, and he almost couldn't help but spit out three mouthfuls of blood.

The Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence. Anyone who is a fan of Kamen Rider's special effects will know what this book is.

As a work that has been serialized since the Showa period, countless monsters and demons have been born in Kamen Rider. Putting science aside, even gods, demons, evil spirits, Buddhas and other supernatural realms are all included. It can be said that this series encompasses the essence and dregs of all myths and legends from the East and the West.

After entering the Heisei era, the changes in this power system became even more outrageous. The power system of the Showa Knights, who could only destroy streets and cities at most, has skyrocketed. There are countless people who have the power to destroy stars and create the world, and even traveling through timelines is no problem.

Among these terrifying monsters, there are a few that are recognized by everyone as the pinnacle of combat power in the Kamen Rider system.

The first is Kazuya Kadoya, who was born with the power of dimensions. He can open channels to different dimensions at will according to his wishes, and can gain the power of knights in different worlds through traveling, and can even create different worlds. This ability is the same as the world-destroying power possessed by his sister Kadoya Sayo, both of which are capable of destroying and creating the world.

The second is that he is the source of Kamen Rider Agito's power system. He was born before the beginning of time and created everything in the universe. He also created the human race based on his own image. He is the true origin and father of mankind. Even among all the existences of Kamen Rider's concept of "God", he is definitely the ultimate existence, the power of darkness, Douzhen.

The third one is even more heavyweight. He is Sougo Tokiwa who has the power of Oma. The essence of this power is the destruction of time and space. He can freely destroy and reshape the timeline according to his own will. And unlike Kamen Rider Kadoya who simply obtains the power of other Kamen Riders, the power of Oma can directly deprive Kamen Rider of his power along with his own history without the need to obtain the consent of others.

And it does not need to be limited to the present. No matter in the past or the future, as long as there are as many Kamen Riders as there are born, the power of Oma can take away the power of as many Kamen Riders. It can be said that Oma Zi-O, who completely controls the power of Oma, is absolutely an existence that all Kamen Riders cannot resist.

This power cannot be accurately described with the word "terrifying", because in the face of the power of the devil, if one has not been upgraded to a god-level existence, let alone contend with it, one will not even be able to perceive it, and one's own history will be completely tampered with from the very beginning.

Among all the Heisei Kamen Riders whose history was taken away by Tokiwa Sougo, only Kamen Rider Gaim Transformer, Kota Kuzuba, whose life status was elevated to that of the Origin Man, was able to perceive the truth of his own history being robbed, and possessed the ability to preserve his own existence in the chaotic timeline.

After all, could a mere group of Time Tribbers led by Swartz truly possess the power to tamper with a god's past history right under his nose? The physical concept of time is meaningless to a god!

Therefore, the real culprit who took away his power and history was never the Time Robber, but Sougo Tokiwa himself who possessed the power of the devil.

But even someone as strong as the Origin could only barely save himself and not be conceptually wiped out by the Grandmother Paradox caused by the change in history. However, his own power was also plundered to the point of being reduced to only one tenth. Not to mention intervening to stop it, even maintaining his own continued existence was very difficult.

Even the Man of Origin, whose status and power are no different from those of a god, is so powerless in front of Oma's power. Therefore, Oma Zi-O, the ultimate form of Tokiwa Sougo, was once recognized as the true ceiling of Kamen Rider's combat effectiveness.

Of course, this was only in the past.

After all, the so-called fate of a king is to be defeated by a new king, and this theorem is applicable no matter where it is applied.

And what later replaced Oma Zi-O and became the most powerful of all Kamen Riders was the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence.

As the name suggests, this is an incredible book that truly possesses omniscience and omnipotence, and what it records is not only all the past history of the world it is in, but also the distant future.

And this cannot even be called a prophecy, it is more like an irresistible fate. Stellius, who was originally a bard, had a complete mental breakdown after seeing the truth about the world recorded in the Book of Omniscience and knowing that his own fate and the fate of all mankind from birth to death had long been determined. He turned evil and deceived his companions to steal the pages of the Book of Omniscience and turned it into Megiddo, thus starting a story of conflict between the two worlds that lasted for two thousand years.

The story of Stellius's world all originated from this book and finally came to an end because of this book. From the birth of the world to its final end, everything is recorded in this book.

What is even more despairing is that even Stellius can see the contents of the book, and his subsequent series of efforts that seem to be resisting fate are all recorded in it word for word. From beginning to end, he has not even once been able to escape the ending that has already been recorded in this book. In other words, before he was born, Stellius was destined to be chosen by the omniscient and omnipotent book as a puppet of "fate" to end the world.

Even if we only look at this performance, this book can be said to be the epitome of fatalism, and this is only one of the abilities that the omniscient and omnipotent book possesses. The remaining abilities are even more outrageous.

Because it can also read the history of different worlds, analyze the power of different worlds and transform it into a "book" that conforms to its system capabilities for people to use, and it can also obtain power outside of its own world that does not belong to the Kamen Rider system!

Even Oma Zi-O, who possesses the power of Oma, can only seize the power belonging to all Kamen Rider systems, while the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence can even obtain the abilities belonging to another world system. It is immediately clear which one is superior.

But the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence can do more than that. It can even break the box theory, directly contact the world outside the box, and obtain the power from the creator of Kamen Rider. This performance is generally referred to as: the author directly takes action to beat people.

Even authors who have passed away many years ago.

It can be said that the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence does not seem like something that can appear in the world of Kamen Rider. Compared with the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence, other powers are simply not in the same dimension, comparable to the gap between the two-dimensional and three-dimensional dimensions.

Compared to people in the three-dimensional world, no matter how powerful the characters in the two-dimensional world are, they can only be erased by changing the settings on the keyboard or rubbing the paper with an eraser. The Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence is an item with such terrifying power.

At this moment, one of the fragments of this supreme treasure in the world of Kamen Rider appeared on the table in front of Xu Guoliang, within reach.

"What on earth are you thinking? Can you just give something like this away???"

Looking at this torn page, and remembering how that guy tore off a page from the book in his arms in front of him, signed it with a pen, and handed it to him, Xu Guoliang's eyes behind his glasses flickered like the surface of a lake under the setting sun.

This is the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence. Even if it is just a fragment, the power it possesses is unquestionable, without any falsehood.

Faced with this kind of thing, Xu Guoliang really couldn't remain calm.

After all, just for this thing, the Sword of Truth and Megiddo fought a war for more than two thousand years, and the number of crosses of lost lives was so many that they could fill the entire Bering Strait. The Lord of Truth and Stellus, who had the same goal of destroying the world, worked even harder, and finally obtained the Fantasy Control Book of Almighty Power and the Fantasy Control Book of Magical Power, which were formed by the fusion of most of the fragments.

But that guy actually tore off a page of the thing that the two big bosses had obtained after much scheming, used it as an ordinary paper to sign, and then gave it to himself?

"...As expected of you."

After a long time, Xu Guoliang, who was speechless about this behavior, finally uttered these words.

"Teacher Thomas."

But at the same time, after knowing who the instigator of this incident was, Xu Guoliang's heart, which had been uneasy since he came here, finally felt a long-lost sense of relief. The nerves in his brain that had been tense all the time finally relaxed, and the suppressed fatigue instantly surged up like a huge wave, sweeping over his whole body.

He laid his upper body directly on the table, looking at the torn page in front of him, his eyes showing relief as if he had survived a disaster.

There was once a gangster named Jiang who famously said, "Should good people be pointed at with guns?"

Although it is problematic to say this, the reason why people like to point guns at good people is because they know that good people will not do anything to them because of such things.

But this is a paradox that will never happen to a bad person, because the bad person will just snatch the gun that you haven't pulled out and point it at your head, and slander you for daring to steal my gun, calling you a despicable thief who deserves to be killed!

So after knowing that the real mastermind behind his series of encounters was Kamiyama Touma, also known as Teacher Thomas, Xu Guoliang felt sincerely fortunate because he knew that the other party was a good person.

Although he has the nickname of Evil Sword Immortal, Shenshan Feiyu is an out-and-out moral role model, and the kind of peerless saint who will not hesitate to sacrifice himself to save even an innocent stranger.

Even if the adopted son who failed to save his father in a previous battle held a grudge against him and came to kill him in revenge, he would not complain at all because he had no moral responsibility. He was even willing to bow his head and be killed when he had absolute power advantage. His sense of morality and responsibility was completely impeccable, and he was definitely a role model for a decent Kamen Rider.

Therefore, if someone said that Shenshan Feiyu really wanted to harm someone, Xu Guoliang would even be the first to jump out to oppose it, not for any reason, but simply because the other party was Teacher Thomas, the hero he had promoted.

Since the other party is Kamiyama Touma, he must have a special reason or difficulty for doing this.

Ordinary people probably find it difficult to understand this kind of strange trust, but special effects fans will not find it strange, because they have all witnessed the life of the protagonist of the story, Kamiyama Touma. Although the two sides are separated by a crystal wall, their souls really touched each other at some point.
