Arriving in the Eastern Country
The appearance of the Gale Clan did not have a serious impact on the flight, and as time went by, the plane finally landed at the airport in Dongguo.
Chen Xiyao had been half-asleep the whole way, immediately became alert. Although she appeared to be just an ordinary tourist, Feng Xue could clearly sense her heightened sense of vigilance.
"Calm down. It's not uncommon to Weird Tale that rely on superficial thinking. Relax."
Feng Xue leaned close to her ear and whispered something as if they were intimately cuddling. Then, she affectionately tapped her forehead and used the Soul Transference Technique of the Mindless Divine Power to force her into a calm state.
"Understood." Chen Xiyao took a few deep breaths and immediately visualized the Spiritual Platform Bright Mirror Mind. Through the operation of the Bu Tiange, she quickly broke free from Feng Xue Xuedu's spirit that had entered her Sea of Consciousness, and at the same time got rid of the state of excessive tension.
She reached out and took Feng Xue's arm as they left the plane, preparing to undergo immigration inspection.
After handing over their passports, visas, and other documents to the staff, Chen Xiyao began to answer their questions, while Feng Xue maintained her [Hermit] powers, concealing their "characteristics" and observing their surroundings. Sure enough, with just a glance, he saw at least five Supernatural Tale Fire.
"Have there always been this many? Or is it because the Midsummer Night Festival is approaching, so they're conducting strict checks at the airport? Or are they still looking for me?" Feng Xue wondered to herself. Chen Xiyao, however, had already finished her routine questioning. The two of them headed to the baggage claim area amidst the staff's greetings of "Have a pleasant trip."
Although Feng Xue's Bundle Cloth supplies were sufficient to allow them to travel light, the two of them were going to the Eastern Kingdom as normal tourists. It would be rather conspicuous if they didn't bring any luggage, which is why they had to go through an extra layer of procedures.
As soon as they stepped out of the airport, Feng Xue and Chen Xiyao spotted the sign that read "Feng Xue" and immediately went over to it.
The person who came to pick me up was a man who looked to be in his thirties. He was dressed like a typical East Asian office worker, and there was nothing wrong with his accent or other details.
If there's any flaw, it's that as a "Martial World Myth," Feng Xue can easily judge from details like the opponent's skin, eyes, and posture that the opponent has considerable external strength, but it's not the most popular Golden Bell Shield Cover in Yan Kingdom; rather, it's a bone-refining method similar to the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training.
"Mr. Feng, Ms. Chen, welcome." Speaking Chinese Language with a Dongguo accent, the man approached with an air of "I'm a local from Dongguo." Feng Xue and Chen Xiyao greeted him in the same Dongguo manner, and the group chatted about travel as they walked out of the airport.
Driving in a budget private car, watching the scenery rushing past on both sides of the road, Chen Xiyao suddenly spoke:
"March 7."
"May 15th." The driver responded immediately, Chen Xiyao nodded slightly before he continued:
"You should have already seen my current identification information. Let me confirm, your identities this time are that of Self-Media who are live-streaming a trip to Dongguo, right?"
"That's right, Mr. Nanami Yosuke." Chen Xiyao understood that this was a second confirmation, so she immediately stated the other party's current public identity. Nanami Yosuke nodded and didn't say anything more. He just drove while turning on the car stereo, letting the melody echo in the car.
The two were taken to a hot spring inn, the kind often seen in Japanese manga, which wasn't too far from the airport. After dropping them off, Mr. Nanami Yosuke car rental company employee, left them the car and a document hidden inside before taking the train.
After Feng Xue and her companion entered the hotel and confirmed that there were no surveillance cameras, electronic devices, or Weird Tale lurking around, they breathed a sigh of relief, took out the documents they had found in the car, and began reading and exchanging ideas.
"The Kamen Rider of the Eastern Kingdom have been suffering quite a bit lately!" After glancing casually for a few moments, Chen Xiyao narrowed her eyes, and Feng Xue nodded, saying:
"This distribution is not normal. There is a clear tendency to cluster. Either these Kamen Rider are banding together, which has attracted the attention of Hundred Tales, or there is something here that must be protected even at the cost of sacrificing a large number of Kamen Rider."
"If that's the case, it might be the legendary Warehouse No. 8." Chen Xiyao thought of the classified documents his superiors had given him before this mission, and couldn't help but think this way. Feng Xue narrowed her eyes, somewhat puzzled, and asked:
"Warehouse No. 8? I've only ever heard of Pawnshop No. 8 and Warehouse No. 13."
"Hmm, this is our code name for a certain organization's stronghold. Hmm, you know about the Eastern Resistance Organization, right?" Chen Xiyao put down the documents, packed her luggage, and took out various toiletries and other items, speaking casually as she spoke.
Feng Xue nodded and said:
"I know, I heard that Kamen Rider itself was filmed to create a weapon to fight against Weird Tale."
"That's right, but in reality, the Eastern Resistance Organization actually has several different factions. For example, the Eastern Country Resistance Front is composed of former members of the Eastern military. They have a large stockpile of weapons and industrial equipment and the most combat experience."
"There is also the Eastern Country Yakuza Union, which is built by the East Country gangs. Although its Combat Power is not very strong and its weapons and equipment are not very good, it has the strongest network of connections, with tentacles that can be found almost throughout the entire East Country."
"There is also an organization led by the Tsuchimikado family, which unites many leftists who were suppressed for their anti-war sentiments but escaped the purge of Weird Tale. Many of these people are engaged in cultural and creative work. Kamen Rider was created by this group."
"Because these organizations have all sorts of names, and many of them are so childish that it would be embarrassing to mention them in a meeting, we simply numbered them according to factors such as their distribution of power and geographical location. Warehouse No. 8 refers to the research institute of Organization No. 8."
Listening to Chen Xiyao's earnest introduction, Feng Xue suddenly became curious about those cheesy organization names. However, he also knew that it was okay to ask about this anytime, so he simply asked the important question:
"So this Organization Number Eight is the organization established by the Tsuchimikado family? What's in Warehouse No. 8 that's worth fighting over between Hundred Tales and Kamen Rider? And you even know something about it?"
"I don't know," Chen Xiyao gave a generic answer, then added:
"What we know so far is that Warehouse No. 8 is the birthplace of the Kamen Rider system, and it houses many researchers and scholars who have gone missing in the East over the past few decades. However, the most obvious feature is that there is a very special and Magical Item here. It can be said that this item is almost the link that allows all the resistance organizations in the East to exist..."
