Chapter 42: Chapter 42: A Father's Love Strike
"Heh." Belle let out a cold laugh but didn't answer Mo Xuan.
"Don't just laugh coldly, I'm really scared, you know. I don't want to die a social death." Mo Xuan was genuinely afraid that Belle would use his body to cause some trouble. All the affection he had worked so hard to build up, if it were gone, who would he cry to?
"Do you have a choice?"
"No. Then it's decided. As expected of a legendary Proxy, you're really useful when you're needed." Mo Xuan shook his head and said. He really had no choice. Compared to social death, transforming was more important.
"I've heard that there are casualties every time they enter Hollow Zero. This time, with me here, I will do my best to achieve zero casualties. Every single life is irreplaceable and should not die in a Hollow. I hope you can help me."
Mo Xuan said to Belle sincerely. Her expression was not as casual as before. Although you couldn't tell, Belle was also the type who would definitely save people if she could. The two of them could be said to be on the same page.
"I know. You leave the Bangboo here. I'll modify it and give it to you tomorrow." Belle said to Mo Xuan with a rare seriousness. Mo Xuan nodded, left the Bangboo, and then took his leave.
"Detected that the master stared at Mo Xuan for an extra three seconds. Searching the thesaurus... matches the description of 'reluctant to part'." Fairy's large eyeball stared at Belle, learning some strange knowledge.
"Go away, go away. I was just thinking, so there are people like this in New Eridu. The trope of an unsung hero protecting humanity, you never get tired of watching it, right?" Belle scratched her blue hair and said. She had never seen the legendary Hollow Hunters, but she imagined that those people must be protecting humanity with the same thoughts as Mo Xuan. Without such people, there would be no New Eridu today.
Mo Xuan returned to his own home. Before working out, he first found a cabinet, summoned the 02 Driver, and placed it on top. Then he lit a mosquito coil on it, clasped his hands together, and mumbled. He couldn't help it. He didn't know where to buy incense sticks, so he had to use a mosquito coil as a substitute for now.
"Daddy 02, please bless me to get together with Zhu Yuan soon."
Mo Xuan's wish was very simple, so simple that 02 couldn't even be bothered to pay attention to him. After offering the "incense," he took out the gifts from Zhu Yuan's parents. Auntie Zhu had given him fruit, and Uncle Zhu had given him a book about plants. Mo Xuan was not interested in gardening. After flipping through a few pages, he threw it on the sofa.
"Wait, that's not right."
Mo Xuan suddenly realized something. He picked up the book again and looked through it. There were many notes left by Uncle Zhu. This book was obviously not bought to prop up a table leg but was really useful.
Mo Xuan carefully thought about the relationship between plants and Zhu Yuan and finally remembered that Zhu Yuan had a hobby of growing flowers and plants at home, especially tomatoes.
Mo Xuan understood. He understood everything. His father-in-law was giving him an assist! He wanted him to read this book more, so that when he went to Zhu Yuan's house, he could have a common topic of plants with her. If the conversation went well, wouldn't their relationship progress?
"Brilliant."
Although Mo Xuan didn't know why his father-in-law wanted to help him, he decided to read this book with the same enthusiasm he had when he read Rider setting books. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
The next day, the first thing Mo Xuan did after waking up from bed was to open the blind box. Today was the day to go to Hollow Zero. Although Mo Xuan felt that Riders had different strengths, even the weaker ones wouldn't be too ridiculous. Although he always dissed Banjou Ryuga, that guy loved to fight in high-end matches, and the stats of his Cross-Z Dragon were still enough to crush Ethereals.
"A phone? Isn't this my beloved 555?"
Mo Xuan picked up a red retro flip phone. As a tokusatsu fan, if he couldn't recognize this at a glance, he could just leave the fandom. He loved 555's transformation method so much. The red photon blood flowing through his whole body after transforming—no man could refuse this.
"Is there any supporting equipment? No?"
Mo Xuan searched all over the bed for things other than the belt and the phone, but unfortunately, he couldn't find the two reinforcement items he wanted. 555's belt didn't evolve. Getting stronger was all about external devices. Without these two external devices, the strength would be much lower.
Although Mo Xuan was disappointed, he was not too disappointed. After getting up and washing up, he was about to leave the house when he came to the mirror. As usual, he first transformed once to familiarize himself with the new belt.
[5, 5, 5]
Mo Xuan opened the red flip phone, pressed the 5 key three times in a row on the keypad, then pressed the confirm key. After closing the phone, he raised his right hand to the highest point.
"Henshin!"
Mo Xuan pressed his right hand down, inserted the phone into the vertical slot in the belt. With a crisp click, he pressed his right hand down again, changing the vertical slot to a horizontal placement, and the phone was completely locked into the belt.
Red light surged out from within the belt. The light enveloped Mo Xuan's whole body like flowing blood. Finally, after the red light dissipated, a brightly colored knight appeared in the mirror.
"Cool!"
Mo Xuan subconsciously raised his right hand and flicked it. The habitual movement made him feel that his fusion with the Rider belt was even higher. There was no conflict between admiring himself in the mirror and saving the world. After he had looked enough, he was ready to de-transform.
"Wait, where's my beloved horse?"
Mo Xuan stopped the de-transformation process. He thought for a moment on the spot, came to the door, opened it, and first carefully poked his head out to look. There was no one downstairs. So he quickly went downstairs and came to the motorcycle parked next to the stairs.
Mo Xuan reached out and gripped the motorcycle's handlebars. At this moment, the Rider's power flowed into it, dyeing the black motorcycle into a light model of silver and red. Now he was very satisfied. It was a pity he couldn't ride it to work.
Mo Xuan's gaze fell on the bike, admiring his beloved horse. Suddenly, he saw an item placed on the back seat of the motorcycle. This item made his whole body tremble. He, of course, recognized the item that looked like a briefcase: the Faiz Blaster, an essential item for entering Blaster Mode.
"So you were hiding here."
Mo Xuan picked up the red and white briefcase and played with it lovingly. But he didn't enter Blaster Mode right now. According to the setting, this thing was also a life-draining item. The more you used it, the faster you died. So it was better to wait until the battle started.
A red digital watch fell from the gap of the briefcase and was caught by Mo Xuan. He was not surprised by the appearance of this thing. It was one of 555's famous pieces of equipment, the Axel Watch. A tokusatsu fan who often transformed into 555 would definitely know how to use it. It was similar to Kamen Rider Kabuto's Clock Up.
"It's time to let the Ethereals of Hollow Zero feel a father's love."
