Ordinary Female High School Student

"Is it time?" Feng Xue, who had just woken up from hibernation, looked at the scene behind the door of Baihe Hua's bathroom, which had now switched back to reality. She began to observe the state of the bathroom, and then she saw a monster lying on the ceiling, licking the ceiling incessantly.

"Tsk, looks like they've really locked onto the door!"

Feng Xue sighed, then opened the Bundle Cloth, rummaged through it, and finally took out a prop that she hadn't used in a long time.

[Suspicious Cardboard Box]

In his Internal Force form, he didn't need to worry about being discovered. The main issue was that he needed to take the Phantom Object to the other side. Even with the [Hermit] power to conceal it and suppress its Phantom Object, a lychee-sized thing floating in the air was enough to attract attention.

Hiding inside the cardboard box, observing the outside world through two small holes, Feng Xue moved forward step by step. As the feeling of passing through the barrier washed over him, he returned to the real world.

"Neither Baihe Hua nor Rinka senses anything. Is this the direction of the school?" Sensing the message from the light spot, Feng Xue lay back down inside the cardboard box to continue her hibernation. After all, the doors to this house were all closed, and even with the cardboard box as cover, the action of opening the door would still be noticed.

At school, Baihe Hua and Rinka, who had finally gotten their lunch break, rushed to the convenience store, carrying a huge amount of bread. Amidst the strange looks from the crowd, they found a bench and began their "eating contest."

"Yuri-chan, you seem to have eaten less today?" Rinka finished a fried noodle bread in a few bites, looking at Baihe Hua's slow movements with slight surprise.

Upon hearing this, Baihe Hua shook her head and said:

"No, this is much more than what I used to eat!"

"Really?" Rinka and Baihe Hua chatted casually, but their attention wasn't on the topic. Instead, they were subtly glancing at the towering, three-story-high building next to the Teaching Building, where people were Weird Tale sticking their heads into the windows.

Then...

"I deliberately chose this spot, and Baihe Hua didn't object; she shouldn't be able to see it."

"They chose this place for lunch, so Rinka really can't see it."

Both of them thought the same thing at the same time, then completely ignored the menacing Weird Tale and slowly ate the food in their hands. While the two best friends were talking, in Rinka's small bag, in the card box and the Transformation Belt, two consciousnesses also synchronized.

"Did Baihe Hua have any problems yesterday?"

The Substitute Gu Poison Body's branch consciousness asked the Kamen Rider Gu Poison Body's branch consciousness a question, to which the Kamen Rider responded with slight surprise:

"What problems could an ordinary high school girl possibly have? But the house she lives in might be haunted; there are always Weird Tale circulating about it."

"Forehead?"

The stand-in consciousness was taken aback upon hearing this, and immediately replied:

"You call her ordinary? Even if she's my host, you still think she's ordinary?"

"Yeah, just an ordinary high school student. Apart from having a good physique, there's nothing particularly noteworthy about him, right?"

The Kamen Rider consciousness seemed oblivious to the seriousness of the situation, responding rather indifferently.

"So that's how it is!" The stand's consciousness let out a long sigh, and everything seemed to make sense now.

"No wonder Baihe Hua has so many coincidences, yet she hasn't been captured and interrogated by Hundred Tales. It wasn't because of fishing after all!"

The Stand's consciousness spoke as if relaxed or relieved, then withdrew its consciousness...

Due to the real estate bubble of the 1970s, a large number of abandoned warehouses remain in various parts of Dongguo. These were originally land resources acquired by various conglomerates and wealthy businessmen in their land grabbing. In order not to affect subsequent development and to wait for higher prices, they often did not directly invest in development plans, but instead occupied the land by building warehouses with short construction periods and low costs.

However, after the bubble burst, these warehouses became historical legacies, either lacking development value or simply beyond the reach of their original owners. Over time, they gradually transformed into secret bases for various organizations of all sizes.

In the film warehouse complex located in Chiba Port, an inconspicuous warehouse contains a dazzling array of high-tech equipment. A group of men and women in white coats move back and forth in front of the equipment, and every now and then they gather in front of the computer to quickly enter sets of data.

Occasionally, you can see some doctors in white coats lounging around as if they have nothing to do, but as soon as the machinery next to them starts running, they immediately enter an extremely tense working state again.

Among this group of white coats, one figure stood out. He was also wearing a white coat and thick glasses. In terms of style, he was no different from the other busy figures. However, his calm and unhurried demeanor set him apart from the busy or lazy figures around him.

He moved constantly between the instruments, reviewing the experimental data, sometimes offering suggestions for improvement, and sometimes jotting down new discoveries in his notebook.

Just then, a young man not wearing a white coat jogged up to him and whispered:

"A communication from Mr. K and Mr. A."

"Understood." The man called Mr. K walked down the corridor to the office that had been enclosed in the corner of the warehouse. After the secretary left again, he looked at the letter A on the monitor and said:

"This is a crucial time. What do you need me for?"

"Has the factor analysis for the Face Stealer Weird Tale been completed?"

A didn't mince words and went straight to the point. K, hearing his question, seemed to have been prepared, and replied:

"The surface factor has been analyzed, and we've only made a few 'Face Stealer Cards,' but we're still quite a distance from developing the second-generation Transformation Belt."

Hearing K's answer, A didn't seem surprised, and simply continued:

"How's the 'Transformation Belt Number One' doing?"

"The basic analysis is complete, and the pure mechanical structure replication and archiving are also done. All that's needed is to modify the current process. However, this structure only improves the utilization rate of the Weird Tale cards."

"The true essence of the changes in the 'Number One Transformation Belt' lies in the other two structures. If we can figure out the underlying principles, we will solve the problem of the return of the Weird Tale factor and completely get rid of the wasteful practice of consuming a Weird Tale card with each transformation."

At this point, K seemed to be getting a little carried away, and A didn't interrupt him, waiting until he finished speaking before speaking:

"It's good that there's progress. The Tengu Council has recently taken notice of game developers, and B's production line may be subject to strict scrutiny."

"Don't worry about that. Our manufacturing process is no different from ordinary toys at the assembly line stage. They won't be able to detect anything. More important than the assembly line is the working status of the No. 3 treasure." K seemed quite confident about this, and A felt relieved upon hearing this.

"Since you say so, I'm relieved. As for the third treasure, there's no need to worry about it in the short term. Our current resource reserves are enough to sustain it for five years."

PS1: Regarding the Real World Rules.

To put it bluntly, this thing is similar to the rules for creating Weird Tale in zoos or the rules for killing people through Weird Tale. Essentially, it's the conditions under which Weird Tale are "summoned" by humans.

Normally, Weird Tale are bound to the world in which they appear, and there is no such thing as cross-world descent.

You can think of each world as an independent Local Area Network, and the Infinite City as a relay. It is because of the Infinite City that different Local Area Network are connected, and that the possibility of jumping directly from one world to another by using the Real World Rules appears in Weird Tale.

In other words, the Real World Rules are not subordinate to the rules of the Infinite City, but without the Infinite City, the Real World Rules are merely the rules for movement within the same world.

The Sealed Golden Cabinet is an independent, separate Different Dimension that is not connected to the Infinite City. In this Different Dimension, Feng Xue has no supernatural Weird Tale and therefore cannot activate the Real World Rules. Furthermore, the Real World Rules world in other worlds cannot break through the physical barriers to connect to other Local Area Network.

PS2: Regarding ownership, as I said before, the understanding of the world in this book has the highest priority.

Humans are a collection of social relationships. If A transmigrates into B's body and recognizes himself as A, but everyone else thinks he is B, then his social attributes will still become B's. When he himself also thinks he is B, A disappears.

As for seizing Phantom Object by taking over cognition, there's no need to worry about that. After all, doing so is no different from Role-playing Supernatural Tale obtain Trait, and it might end up like "A has been revived in my body."
