Starting with the Decade Driver, Messing with School Beauty

A mouthful of old blood was stuck in his chest, almost spitting out.

Qing Mu struggled to swallow this mouthful of old blood.

“So, what’s the origin of this Li Hua?”

“I don’t know. She was sent by the headquarters, seems quite capable. Qin Yu used to keep her under control, and she never had a chance to show herself until Qin Yu disappeared recently. She suddenly emerged and demonstrated ruthless methods. Many of the rules Qin Yu established were broken by her. She also relentlessly pressured us to accelerate production, to generate more Smash for the company’s profit.”

Listening to Director Wang’s words, he thought of Li Hua’s gentle and beautiful face just now.

Qing Mu felt it was difficult to reconcile the two.

“I didn’t expect that woman to look so pretty but have such a malicious heart. Truly a femme fatale.”

Suddenly, Qing Mu had an idea.

“By the way, besides manufacturing Smash here, do you produce other things? It seems a bit wasteful to use such a large place just for Smash production, right?”

Qing Mu remembered the Lava Dopants he had encountered earlier and the Lost Drive users he had met before.

These people seemed to have a close connection to Qin Yu.

Qing Mu suspected that these people were sent by Eternal Technology Inc.

Director Wu didn’t hesitate and quickly replied, “We manufacture many things here. I’m only responsible for Smash and Nebula Gas. There are other departments for manufacturing Gaia Memories, Lockseeds, and various Rider Drives.”

“It seems I’m right. The people who attacked me were all sent by Eternal Technology Inc.” Qing Mu immediately locked onto his target.

Not afraid of strong enemies, just afraid of not knowing who the enemy is.

Now that he knew the enemy’s identity, it would be much easier to deal with them.

Qing Mu retracted his Ride Booker and gently wiped the blade with his hand.

“Well, considering your cooperation, I’ll give you a chance to redeem yourself. Tonight, after work, go to the police station yourself, report everything about Eternal Technology Inc.’s crimes, and be clear about it. This way, I can help you seek leniency by confessing proactively.”

“Yes, yes! I understand! I’ll definitely confess proactively! You can trust me! I couldn’t bear to watch Eternal Technology Inc. commit these heinous acts for a long time, but I was forced to submit to their immense power. Now that the official authorities of Dragon Kingdom are involved, I feel much relieved.”

Qing Mu nodded.

He knew he couldn’t fully trust Director Wu’s words.

But he hesitated to kill Director Wu outright.

Qing Mu wouldn’t bat an eye at killing monsters.

Killing a person.

Qing Mu still had some reservations.

*Bang!*

Several fully armed combatants suddenly kicked open the door and stormed into the laboratory.

They aimed their guns at Qing Mu.

“Drop your weapons and surrender immediately!”

“You came pretty quickly.”

Their actions were faster than Qing Mu had anticipated.

There were several cameras in the laboratory, and Qing Mu guessed that he would be spotted as soon as he showed himself.

He just didn’t expect them to arrive so quickly, just a few minutes after he had been casually strolling around.

Qing Mu’s attention was drawn to the group of combatants.

Meanwhile, Director Wu took advantage of Qing Mu’s distraction and swiftly pulled a Gaia Memory from his clothing, inserting it into the port on the inside of his arm.

[Invisible!]

The sound effect played.

The power of the Gaia Memory activated.

Director Wu’s figure rapidly blurred and disappeared.

He had used a memory called the Invisible Memory.

It didn’t have any combat capabilities; its sole purpose was to make its user invisible.

However, its effectiveness was not as strong as Qing Mu’s special AttackRide cards.

“This guy! I knew he wouldn’t be so obedient!”

Qing Mu suspected that Director Wu might not confess willingly, but he hadn’t anticipated that the man would also have an escape tool like the Invisible Memory.

“Open fire!”

*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!…*

Muzzles continuously flashed with gunfire.

Bullets struck Qing Mu’s body.

With the Decade Rider Armor’s defense, these bullets were slightly more powerful than tissue paper.

He could feel them, but the pain wasn’t too severe.

Qing Mu charged forward, one sword strike at a time.

*Splish! Splish! Splish!*

Blood splattered.

Several bodies lay on the ground.

The walls, floor, and ceiling were covered in gruesome and terrifying bloodstains.

Qing Mu lightly wiped the blood off his blade and walked out of the laboratory.

*Buzz… Buzz… Buzz…*

The alarm had been triggered inside the base.

…

Just moments ago, Li Hua, who had been entertaining guests on the main stage, was now in a dimly lit room, watching Qing Mu’s actions through a large monitor.

“You foolish person, daring to intrude into our Eternal Technology Inc.’s research base without permission. You’re simply seeking death. Did you really think that a mere Kamen Rider could do as he pleased?”

Li Hua first mocked Qing Mu’s overconfidence, then picked up a walkie-talkie and issued orders to the person on the other end.

“Release the enhanced Smashes we’ve been keeping locked up and let them have some fun with the intruder. Let me see how powerful this batch of enhanced Smashes is. And by the way, have Wenwu’s team get ready. If those enhanced Smashes can’t handle the intruder, they’ll have to step in.”

“Understood, Miss Li Hua.”

The voice on the other end of the walkie-talkie was cold and emotionless, as if devoid of any feelings.

…………

Now that he was exposed, Qing Mu decided to be brazen about it and walked around the underground base openly, inspecting everything inside. He did come across some astonishing discoveries. Qing Mu even saw many Lockseeds and Gaia Memories that had already been developed. If he wasn’t concerned that the enemy might have planted something harmful among them, Qing Mu would have been tempted to take some.

*Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!*

Several powerful and robust Enhanced Smashes appeared before Qing Mu, walking with heavy steps. With each step, the solid ground made an unbearable sound, as if it was about to crack open. This indicated just how strong these Enhanced Smashes were.

Qing Mu halted, observing these Smashes.

“Using Smashes against me, huh? It’s somewhat interesting. Too bad I don’t have the Build Rider cards built. Otherwise, I’d enjoy a little showdown with you using Kamen Rider Build’s power.”

The Enhanced Strong Smashes seemed to be under the control of some force and had identified Qing Mu as an enemy. Without a second thought, they charged straight at him.

Two enormous fists swung aggressively.

Faced with these lumbering giants, Qing Mu couldn’t be bothered to engage in a head-on fight.

He dodged with agility and ease, effortlessly evading the first round of attacks.

“The key characteristic of Strong Smashes is their immense strength and thick skin. However, their weaknesses are also evident: they lack special attack abilities and are slow in terms of speed. They can be considered the easiest to deal with among the Smashes.”

This was the information that flashed through Qing Mu’s mind about Strong Smashes.
