Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 114 City X

After hesitating for a long time, Ye Chen finally mustered up his courage and said, "My master has passed on all his skills to me without reservation. Because I have been surrounded by various precious herbs for many years, my body has become immune to all poisons. Therefore, if you want to completely cure those women suffering from hidden ailments, ordinary acupuncture is far from enough. You must adopt a special and extremely private method—that is, to sleep in the same room with me so that my essence can enter their bodies smoothly. Only in this way can a complete cure be achieved."

Lin Yue: "..."

Harem novels are truly harmful!

Ye Chen thought she was just shy, so he quickly explained, "Lin Yue, don't misunderstand! This is really just to help you treat your illness. I really had no other choice! But don't worry, I will definitely take responsibility for you! Can you really bear to die so young in the prime of your life..."

However, before Ye Chen could finish speaking, Lin Yue interrupted him: "Don't fucking curse me!" Lin Yue's eyes widened in anger, but she had already begun to secretly plot in her mind.

She suddenly realized that the type of protagonist, Long Aotian, particularly enjoys making bets with others, and perhaps she could take advantage of this.

...

City X is a lawless zone. It was like this even before the Kamen Riders arrived.

Unlike the other 25 cities, this is an independent place, not under the jurisdiction of the state. The city is located on a remote island, within the barrier, but in the most remote part.

This has become a haven for criminals. It's not that no human has ever killed a Kamen Rider user; after all, without transforming, they are just ordinary people.

The vast majority of these humans had been sentenced to death or life imprisonment, yet a small number managed to escape and flee to this place. Worse still, numerous criminals who had committed other crimes, like vultures drawn to carrion, flocked to this land.

They indulged in their evil deeds with impunity, committing drug use, rape... and almost any other heinous crime. But who would have thought that this city was not originally so depraved?

Before the arrival of Kamen Rider, through unknown means, a drug dealer infiltrated the upper echelons of the X City government, even rising to the position of mayor. From then on, the city gradually veered off course, slowly embarking on a path of no return.

As time went on, when the drug lords completely took control of the city, the government naturally wouldn't stand idly by and attempted to retake it. Unfortunately, those ruthless drug traffickers took the entire city's innocent residents hostage to blackmail and resist the government, even offering substantial sums of money. This forced the government to be hesitant and cautious in its actions, leaving it with no choice but to try and break through from within.

City X, a lawless place rife with crime and darkness, was once the target of a national attempt to eradicate by harnessing the immense power of Kamen Rider. However, unexpectedly, the plan ultimately failed.

There's an ironclad rule for Kamen Rider users: they cannot kill their own kind (except when fusing with monsters). While they can engage in fierce battles, taking a life is absolutely forbidden. Violating this taboo will immediately sever the connection between the summoner and the user, denying their identity. However, it's worth noting that this restriction does not apply if the user kills before completing the transformation.

From a certain perspective, Kamen Riders seem to have become a vulnerable group in society. Therefore, the rule that "Kamen Riders must not attack humans, and vice versa" is ostensibly to protect ordinary humans from harm, but in reality, it is also a protective measure for Kamen Riders.

It took nearly two hundred years of policy support and promotion for Kamen Riders, who specialize in fighting monsters, to gain a high social status and widespread respect.

Like a ghost, Cao Yu stealthily infiltrated City X, a city rife with crime and darkness. For most people, entering such a lawless place wouldn't be easy, but for Cao Yu, that wasn't the biggest challenge. The real difficulty lay in surviving there, because in this land, the so-called law had long since vanished.

As soon as Cao Yu stepped into this area, he witnessed an appalling scene—a number of thugs were openly raping women in the street! The pitiful cries and calls for help echoed in the air, but the passersby ignored it, and some even went up to try and get a share.

Witnessing the innocent woman suffer such brutality, Cao Yu's sense of justice was instantly ignited. He instinctively clenched his fists, ready to rush forward and stop these atrocities. Just then, the deep, slightly warning voice of the alien Oz suddenly echoed in his mind:

"I've already noticed that this kind of thing is commonplace here. If you rashly intervene, you'll be seen as an outsider, because nobody here cares about anyone else's life or death. And once you expose yourself, not only will it be difficult to integrate into this group, but you'll also likely be besieged by them. Don't forget that your purpose here is to find your target for revenge. If you act impulsively and alert them, you might ruin everything. Calm down. Now that you're cooperating with me, you're practically half a villain. Don't do that."

Hearing these words, Cao Yu's body trembled slightly, his heart filled with conflict and struggle. The plight of those poor girls tore at his heart.

In the end, after a fierce internal struggle, Cao Yu managed to suppress his anger and pain, slowly loosening his clenched fist and suppressing the righteous fire surging in his heart.

He clenched his teeth so tightly they seemed to spark, and the muscles in his face trembled slightly from the exertion. Despite being filled with reluctance and anger, he forced himself to look away from the girls being humiliated in the street.

The thought of He Yi gripped his heart like a giant, invisible hand, causing him unbearable pain. His fiancée must have witnessed such a horrific scene, perhaps even darker than what he was seeing now.

At that moment, what immense pain she must have endured! It's unimaginable how much courage this frail young girl mustered to resolutely infiltrate the drug lord's base as an undercover police officer in such a dark and terrifying place, a place akin to hell. The hardships she faced, the arduous efforts she made, and the various dangers and tribulations she might have encountered all caused him immense heartache.

He took a deep breath, trying to hold back his tears. At the same time, he clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, as if only in this way could he slightly alleviate the surging emotions within him.
