***

Following Xiyi’s words, everyone present focused their gaze on the figure at the corner.

Under the silver moonlight, the black and red figure seemed to merge with the surrounding darkness.

However, even so, everyone could still see the face of the person standing there through the moonlight.

Because of this, everyone opposite him tensed up, ready for battle.

“This face…” Xiyi’s senior said, with a hint of solemnity.

At the same time, she secretly wondered why she would see him here.

“Absolutely right, this face is the one who confronted Moyan before!”

Someone behind them added more details about Wang Xi’s identity.

And because of this, they were now facing him as if confronting a formidable enemy.

He was someone capable of confronting Moyan!

Moreover, despite his poor armor performance, he was even able to gain the upper hand in a fight against Moyan.

When his face was finally revealed in that scene, all of them silently remembered this extremely dangerous man.

And because of this, his appearance here made all of them tense up.

But fortunately, although they raised their guard and tensed their nerves, they still felt a bit relieved.

There were a total of thirty-two Firefly armors here, which were all members of the guard team’s second squad.

And the opponent only possessed the silver-white armor from before; its data performance output was far inferior to their Firefly.

Coupled with the advantage in numbers, although the opponent was powerful, he was not unconquerable in front of them.

“All members of the second squad, raise your vigilance,” the captain, wearing guard armor, issued the command to the team members on the field.

However, upon receiving the captain’s order, all members of the second squad prepared themselves.

The Firefly armor’s auxiliary AI had already scanned the opponent. Although the opponent was merely standing there, the armor scanned countless flaws.

But none of them dared to face him lightly.

And Wang Xi had also counted the number of people he would face shortly.

“Thirty-two people, hmm…” Wang Xi nodded, then, under the moonlight, he smiled: “Feels alright.”

This smile made those who saw it a bit confused.

Feels… alright? What does that mean?

“Senior Wang Xi…” Xiyi saw Wang Xi appear, and her eyes couldn’t help but sparkle with hope: “I knew you definitely hadn’t betrayed us.”

She still remembered what Wang Xi said when he was teaching them close-quarters combat:

“Although you wear the Ku armor on the outside, that heart to protect the weak and others will still shine brightly.”

And because of this, Xiyi insisted on her choice.

But Wang Xi did not respond to her call. He just looked at the Firefly squad in front of him and said:

“I’m in a hurry right now. All thirty-two of you come at once.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the field instantly fell silent.

The members of Guard Squad Two looked at each other in disbelief.

“Did I mishear what he just said?”

“He said for us to come at once?”

“It seems so…”

An atmosphere of disbelief surrounded them, and then they turned their gaze to the instigator of all this.

They scrutinized Wang Xi in front of them, and besides disbelief, there was another emotion in their hearts.

It was the indignation of being underestimated.

Are you underestimating us too much?

We acknowledge that your personal strength is very strong!

After all, Wang Xi, along with Yinzhi, was capable of subduing Guard Squad One.

He was also a master who could face Moyan without falling behind in a one-on-one fight.

But at this moment, you have no teammates beside you, nor is this a one-on-one contest.

By what right do you face thirty-two of us alone?

Could it be that thirty-two against one, in your perception, also counts as a one-on-one fight?

And it was precisely because they realized this that they also realized they were being underestimated by the opponent.

Thirty-two people were only considered as one, only then were they qualified to have a direct confrontation with him.

“Then it seems if we don’t show our true abilities, you won’t be fully satisfied…”

The captain looked at Wang Xi, her gaze very calm.

But beneath that calm, there was an unusual anger, because in their minds, another emotion had also been offended.

That was the other group of people who had fought desperately against countless swarms until the very end, using their bodies to delay the swarms.

They had faced swarms that blotted out the sky, and truly, they were all individuals facing hundreds of swarms.

There was still pride in their hearts, but now the opponent was facing them alone, which made them feel that this pride had been offended.

At this moment, on the dark and silent outer field, flames erupted from the rear of the armor.

“You, sir, are facing thirty-two of us alone, so if we don’t use our full strength, I’m afraid you won’t be fully satisfied either.”

The Zirtwos guard armor retreated, and the second squad captain re-equipped her Firefly armor.

The thirty-two figures, spewing flames here, were as dazzling as fireflies constantly flashing their light in the night sky.

Xiyi was completely stunned by this scene; she didn’t know why her seniors had become inexplicably emotional.

But she knew this was definitely not a good thing…

Emotional excitement was a positive buff, but it could also make one act without restraint.

Her initial idea was just for Wang Xi to repel the captain, but how did it suddenly turn into this?

But now was not the time to hesitate, she immediately said to Wang Xi: “Senior Wang Xi, quickly…”

“Indeed, use your full strength!” Wang Xi’s clothes fluttered in the strong wind expelled by the flames.

He looked at the figures above, a very joyful smile on his face: “Only by imbuing your hearts into your attacks can we truly communicate!”

Clap!

After speaking, he struck his fist and palm together, making a crisp sound.

“Only then can I awaken you from your confusion.”

He twisted the button on his belt!

Whoosh!

The sound of an engine starting rang out, and everyone on the field froze.

What was this person planning to do?

Immediately after, a catchy rhythm spread across the area.

Squad Two located the source of the sound, only to find it was at Wang Xi’s waist.

“Ready for input.”

“Are you ready to drive?”

“You, you bastard, are you mocking us?!” The captain, for some reason, suddenly became extremely agitated!

This caused her faceplate to turn a blinding dark red!

On the battlefield, once data is input, it is a target to be achieved, an action to be carried out with full effort.

What was this “driving” business?

“No.” Wang Xi looked at her dark red faceplate and said calmly.

“Ready for input. Are you ready to drive?”

Already prepared!

“This is the battle horn to burn everything and fight the enemy!”

He swung his shift brace, and above, three-colored lights also flashed.

Crimson, emerald green, bright purple.

Three colors shone on the shift brace, representing the formation of bonds between races.

“Let me take you for a spin!”

“Hen…Shin!!”

“Drive! Type Miracle!”

The red light representing miracles shone in the field at this moment, illuminating the open space.

Armor appeared around Wang Xi’s body, finally adhering to him.

In the very end, a figure with two golden curved horns on its head appeared here.

“Heart!”

“The Kamen Rider!”

The place fell silent for a moment.

Both the Firefly and the irregular squad seemed shocked by the figure that appeared before them.

Looking only at the lower half, it was quite normal: a red body with a skirt adorned with heart patterns.

But once their gaze focused on the upper half, a certain bizarre feeling arose in everyone’s hearts.

The torso armor resembled a vehicle, even having tires on its shoulders.

The most striking feature was the faceplate.

Normally, even if armor was not aesthetically pleasing, it should still have its original angular shape.

However, Wang Xi’s covered face was incredibly irregular.

Green pupils, a gap revealing the mouth, and the twin horns on top of his head made it hard to believe that this was composed of armor.

“Ahem.” Wang Xi seemed to notice the awkward silence after his transformation, and lightly coughed, saying: “The twin horns on my head are forming a heart shape.”

That’s right, the two horns on Heart’s head actually formed a heart shape. This was a very obscure piece of knowledge!

But what he said, the others didn’t care about, nor did they need to!

“Although I don’t know why you’re unwilling to use that silver-white armor from before to face us…” The captain’s voice came through the dark red, sounding a bit eerie:

“But we won’t hold back because of that.”

“Of course…” Wang Xi looked at the Firefly squad surrounding him, and his clenched fists made a series of sounds.

“I’m also prepared to hit you hard to wake you up.”

After these two sentences were spoken, the field momentarily fell into a state of relative stillness.

Aside from the sound of flames being expelled, there was no other sound on the field.

Immediately after, the second squad captain took the lead and charged towards Wang Xi!

Whoosh!!!

The flames erupting from behind her were at full output, and as a result, the flames changed their output method, subtly appearing as only a thin line.

Similarly, this change also boosted her speed to its limit, almost instantly disappearing from her original position, her figure no longer observable by the naked eye!

Bang bang bang!

Her body broke through several sonic booms within an extremely short distance.

With her superb piloting skills, the unit showed no signs of losing control due to this.

She focused all her attention on Wang Xi; in her eyes, he seemed to be standing still, dazed.

How can you possibly defeat us now!

We are the vanguard, fighting against the insect plague on the front lines, honing our combat skills in the face of death!!

Her speed was incredibly fast, and in a flash, she was already close to Wang Xi’s side.

“You shall repent your arrogance!”

Her attack was about to land on Wang Xi. The kinetic energy from her current speed could instantly penetrate the opponent’s armor!

However, at this moment, she personally saw Wang Xi turn his head.

Those green eyes seemed to lock onto her rapidly moving figure, and then she saw the fist that was already raised high.

“Ha!”

With a furious roar, the crimson fist instantly landed on her body.

In that instant, she seemed to see a scene.

“They have their own consciousness, they have their own thoughts… they are also a part of this universe…”

“It’s just that, from the moment they were born, all they felt was malice. Since that’s the case, I will first approach them with kindness…”

The man in the vision clenched his fist: “No one instilled malice in them, so I believe their hearts are absolutely kind.”

“If no one believes, then I will believe. If no one protects, then I will protect.”

“Under my protection, even fireflies that were once bound by countless shackles can still bloom with their own light in this starry sky.”

“Because this is Kamen Rider, because this is… me!”

The scene in front of her gradually dissipated like bubbles, and only then did the second squad captain realize that she had fallen into a pile of ruins.

Before her was an extremely long and deep gully, plowed directly from afar to her current location.

Needless to say, this was the trace of her recent fall.

What just happened to me…

She rubbed her aching head, and a trace of dark red faded from her eyes, which allowed her to look at the field before her.

However, it was better not to look, for when she did, she found that the number of Fireflies was rapidly decreasing!

Wang Xi, amidst the encirclement, threw punch after punch!

He used the most ordinary punching techniques, the most ordinary strikes, yet he displayed a terrifying performance in the vicinity!

The Fireflies he struck were sent flying backward, as if subjected to an extremely powerful impact.

Crash!

The flying Fireflies plowed a deep gully into the ground before, surrounded by a pile of architectural debris, they disengaged their transformation.

There were already no less than a dozen gullies appearing across the entire field!

And at the end of each gully, there was a white-haired woman who had disengaged her transformation.

However, unlike the captain, they were not still awake, but had fallen into a deep coma.

The fluorescent yellow cicada lay peacefully on their chests, its dim light seemingly narrating how much energy it had expended to withstand the impact of that punch.

However, even with most of the squad lost, the remaining Fireflies still rushed towards the hottest flame in front, like moths.

Various déjà vu sensations made the captain hallucinate, as if she was facing the insect swarm from before.

Only, they had become the insect swarm, and the surrounded figure had become them.

She (he) did not retreat, nor was there a path to retreat.

However, she seemed to have a vague feeling in her heart.

It was as if someone was whispering in her ear: “No need to retreat, because we already have the strongest barrier in front of us.”

A strong… barrier?

Aren’t we those people’s barrier? Isn’t our purpose to create…

“Hey, are you alright?”

The scene gradually shifted, and only then did she realize that her Firefly squad had been completely wiped out.

And now, a man stood before her, extending his hand.

“Where are you hurt? You shouldn’t be, I thought I controlled my strength pretty well.”

Wang Xi looked at the only person still awake, who was staring blankly, and pondered.

Is he caring about me? Are we worth it?

Just as Wang Xi was still troubled, he suddenly felt a cool hand slip into his.

So hot, yet so warm.

She asked a question that came from her very being: “Can I trust you?”

The man was stunned for a moment, then revealed a hearty smile.

“As long as you’re willing to be my friend, then you can trust me.”

Friend? Does trust need a reason now?

“And now, you are my friend.”

With that, Wang Xi pulled the person in front of him up from the ground.

“So trust me…”

“Trusting me, your friend, needs no reason!”
