Starting with the Decade Driver, Messing with School Beauty - Chapter 73 - Perhaps I Should Light the Purple Lamp and Destroy This World

He Chong woke up.

His companion, Qian Wu, lay there, his life hanging in the balance.

He quickly took out his phone and contacted the Dragon City Defense Base, reporting the situation on his side and requesting assistance.

Looking at He Chong’s condition, there didn’t seem to be an immediate threat to his life.

Qing Mu and Tian Mi couldn’t be bothered with him and went to Li Ling’er’s side.

Li Ling’er had already finished her call.

“I’ve informed the person in charge here to handle things properly and cooperate with the investigation by the Dragon City Defense Base. We have nothing more to do here; we can leave.”

As for how this place would be handled, Li Ling’er didn’t care.

“Alright, let’s go. I’m hungry; let’s get some food.”

With a Knight Card in hand, Qing Mu was in high spirits and had a good appetite.

Li Ling’er and Tian Mi had a little fight, but their stomachs were also growling.

They couldn’t wait to eat.

The three of them left the scene, paying no attention to He Chong and Qian Wu.

Although He Chong wanted to keep the three of them and ask about their origins, the current situation didn’t allow for it. He couldn’t detain them for now. He could only watch them leave.

After the three of them disappeared from He Chong’s sight, he went to check on Qian Wu’s condition.

Qian Wu was doing okay, even though he was seriously injured, his vital signs were still there; he hadn’t died. Those who could use the buildDrive had undergone Nebula Gas and special genetic modifications. Their Hazard Level was 3.0 or higher. Their physiology was different from ordinary people, so what might be a severe injury for others might be just a minor inconvenience for them.

Not long after, the support from the Dragon City Defense Base arrived on the scene. There were a total of five people.

Leading the team was a middle-aged man, about forty years old.

“Squad Leader Wang.”

By this time, He Chong had caught his breath and could speak more easily, unlike before when even standing up was a struggle.

“Yes,” Squad Leader Wang nodded and then said to the team members behind him, “Zhang and Li, the two of you take Qian Wu back for treatment. Zhao and Liu, you two stay here and assist me in coordinating with the park staff. We can’t let the outside world know about what happened here; we need to ensure confidentiality.”

In this world, there were no Memory Police. There was no device to erase specific parts of someone’s memory with a simple press. So, the means of blocking information were relatively primitive. It involved warnings and threats.

The events that occurred here today would definitely be noticed by the park management. They had to communicate with the park staff in advance to delete all related videos and investigate any potential witnesses. Everyone had to keep a tight lip about what they saw.

People were already familiar with how to handle these matters. They knew what needed to be done. The person in charge from the park arrived after the support from the Dragon City Defense Base.

Looking at the scene of devastation, the park manager couldn’t believe his eyes.

“What’s going on here? Was this place attacked by terrorists? How did it turn into this? And what about this crater? Was it caused by someone using explosives?”

The crater caused by the Mantis Fangire was over ten meters in diameter, with more power than an explosive.

It deeply shocked the manager’s feeble heart.

“Are you the manager of this place?” Squad Leader Wang, as the leader, approached the park manager for negotiations.

There were also some security personnel from the Green Dragon Amusement Park nearby.

Seeing the marks of the battle here, these security personnel were all relieved.

Thank goodness they weren’t around this area just a while ago. Otherwise, they might have lost their lives.

“Yes, I am the manager here, my surname is Fang, and my given name is Yuan,” the manager replied politely, not knowing where Squad Leader Wang and his team came from.

Squad Leader Wang showed his identification to Fang Yuan, saying, “I am Squad Leader Wang Dashuang from the Dragon City Defense Base. What happened here tonight cannot be known to anyone outside…”

Next, Wang Dashuang explained some precautions and special circumstances to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan, upon hearing this, was instantly drenched in cold sweat. He wondered why he was so unlucky to be involved in such an incident. However, he dared not say no to Wang Dashuang’s request and had to cooperate obediently. After all, the other party was acting according to orders. If he dared to resist, there might be one less person in his family’s household registration.

After the negotiation between the two sides was almost complete, He Chong suddenly asked, “By the way, who was the person who contacted you on the phone just now? Can you tell us?”

He had clearly heard what Li Ling’er said.

The park manager, Fang Yuan, was brought here by Li Ling’er. Perhaps Fang Yuan knew Li Ling’er’s true identity.

Fang Yuan didn’t dare to hide the truth and said honestly, “It was Miss Li Ling’er, the daughter of our group’s chairman.”

“What? The daughter of your boss?” He Chong was greatly astonished. A rich young lady with such formidable combat abilities was a shocking revelation that anyone would find surprising.

“Is there anyone else with her, the other two people?” He Chong inquired.

“I don’t know. I’m just a small amusement park manager; how could I know so much about young ladies? If you want to know more, you can contact Miss Li Ling’er directly or get in touch with our chairman,” Fang Yuan quickly passed the buck. He was just a wage earner; this extraordinary world was not suitable for him. It would be better to stay away to avoid losing his life.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Squad Leader Wang said solemnly, “He Chong, if one of those three people is indeed Li Ling’er, that would be extraordinary. Could it be that Li Group has developed its own Rider System?”

“There is a possibility, but we should contact Li Group to find out. However, what concerns me more is the man who used a card in front of my buildDrive and claimed to take my power. I tried to transform just now, and I could still do it. I don’t understand what he meant.”

He Chong really wanted to know what Qing Mu meant by taking his power. Without knowing the truth, he couldn’t rest in peace.

“Li Group is a leading private enterprise in our Dragon Country, and Chairman Li Mingwei holds a high position. It might not be easy to contact him. This matter should be reported to higher-ups first, and they will handle it. We shouldn’t get involved in it,” Wang Dashuang, though his name sounded simple, was far from it. In cases like this, how could he foolishly handle it himself? Of course, the right attitude for a wage earner was to pass the responsibility and take less risk.

“Given the current situation, that’s probably the best approach. Let’s leave it to the higher-ups to deal with this matter. We should focus on our own responsibilities,” He Chong agreed with Wang Dashuang’s opinion.

Afterward, they reported the matter step by step.

Fang Yuan, the park manager, officially sealed off the area within a radius of a hundred meters under the pretext of construction, prohibiting anyone from approaching. It would only be reopened once the area was completely repaired.

He also had the surveillance footage from the time of the incident in this area brought to Wang Dashuang and his team to handle.

By the time everything was dealt with, nearly two hours had passed.

At this moment, Qing Mu, Li Ling’er, and Tian Mi had already enjoyed a sumptuous dinner inside the Green Dragon Hotel.

After some physical activity, the meal was especially delicious.

The dinner they had cost more than some people’s living expenses for several years.

And the one who footed the bill was Li Ling’er.

After dinner, Li Ling’er initially wanted to go home. However, Tian Mi, seeing the luxurious decor and opulent service at the Green Dragon Hotel, decided to stay for the night. Abiding by the principle of “if you’ve come, you should enjoy it,” they opted for a top-level, luxurious suite at the hotel.

This suite had two rooms. Qing Mu could stay in one room alone, and Li Ling’er and Tian Mi could share the other.

The view from this place was exceptional. From any spot in the room, you could see most of the Green Dragon Amusement Park’s scenery.

It was getting late, and there weren’t many people left in the amusement park. Nevertheless, the park’s magnificent lighting was worth appreciating.

Qing Mu brought a chair, sat by the window, and quietly enjoyed the view, emptying his mind.

It had been a while since he had properly relaxed. Ever since he obtained the Decade Driver, his nerves had been constantly on edge, and he couldn’t allow himself to relax.

“Dad, Mom, where are you? Why did you leave without a word? Even if you left a few words for me, I wouldn’t have to worry about you as much as I do now,” Qing Mu found himself getting a little melancholic, unaware of how time had passed.

Before long, Li Ling’er and Tian Mi finished getting ready and walked out of their room. They saw Qing Mu sitting alone by the window, lost in thought.

Tian Mi approached and curiously asked, “Qing Mu, what are you thinking about? I’ve never seen you this melancholic before.”

Qing Mu gave Tian Mi a side glance and smiled lightly, saying, “I was just thinking, if I were to topple this world and create a new one, would it be better? Maybe this world, in some unseen places, has already been riddled with problems.”

The world’s crises were even more severe than Qing Mu had imagined. Bloodsuckers, Fangire, Worms, Invess, Smashes, and all sorts of monsters roamed freely. With so many monsters, it was possible that the world was already on the brink of collapse, perpetually teetering on the edge.

As Qing Mu learned more about this world, this idea gradually took root in his mind, and it wouldn’t go away. It would occasionally pop up.

“Tian Mi, you scared me. How could you have such a dangerous thought? Topple the world and start anew? Are you thinking about destroying the world?” Tian Mi looked at Qing Mu in shock.

If someone else had said this, she might have dismissed it as a joke and not taken it to heart. But Qing Mu was different. He really had the power to destroy the world. If he had such thoughts, the world would be in danger, and even the gods might not be able to stop him.

“Qing Mu, is there something bothering you?” Li Ling’er noticed that Qing Mu’s mood seemed a bit off, even though she didn’t know why.

Though she didn’t know why, Qing Mu responded in a somber tone, “My parents have been missing for a long time, and I still don’t know why or where they are. Suddenly, it came to my mind, and that’s why I’m feeling a bit down, but it’s nothing to worry about.”

If he hadn’t seen Li Ling’er’s father, Li Mingwei, doting on her so much, Qing Mu might not have suddenly felt melancholic. But comparisons often lead to discomfort, and once you have something to compare to, everything feels uneasy.

It was at that moment that Qing Mu became a bit emo.

“Qing Mu.” Li Ling’er walked up to Qing Mu and lightly placed her hand on his shoulder.

Feeling the warmth of Li Ling’er’s palm, Qing Mu’s heart gradually calmed down.

Li Ling’er softly said, “Even though your parents are temporarily away from you, you now have Tian Mi and me by your side. We’re your friends and your family. You don’t have to feel down.”

Perhaps they clicked well. Although they had only known each other for a few days, they felt a strong connection. It was as if they had been friends for many years because they had experienced something together. It was different from regular friendships.

Tian Mi also walked over and placed her hand on Qing Mu’s other shoulder. “That’s right, with us here, you don’t have to be unhappy. We’ll drive away all your worries!”

“Thank you both.” Qing Mu smiled faintly, momentarily forgetting his worries. He was just a bit emo, and it wouldn’t lead to any extreme thoughts.

……………….

At this late hour, most people would expect to rest peacefully. However, some individuals carry responsibilities that mean they can’t rest.

After receiving reports from his subordinates, Zhou Weiguo, the head of Dragon City Defense Base, immediately instructed his team to contact Li Group. After some communication, they finally connected in the early hours of the morning.

Zhou Weiguo and Li Mingwei had a phone conversation.

“Hello, Minister Zhou, may I ask what brings you to me at this late hour?” Li Mingwei had a more humble demeanor, despite his significant business success, when facing someone with high status and authority like Zhou Weiguo.

“Mr. Li, I’m contacting you regarding some events that took place at the Green Dragon Amusement Park tonight. Our staff were tracking a suspicious target there…” Zhou Weiguo took a little time to explain the details of the situation to Li Mingwei, including the existence of Kamen Riders and monsters.

Li Mingwei, having been through Bai Tian’s “baptism,” wasn’t particularly surprised when hearing this news. He could accept it calmly. However, when he learned that his daughter was the one who had defeated the monster, he was briefly taken aback. Li Ling’er had kept this incident from him, and his staff had refrained from informing him to avoid disturbing his rest. He was unaware of these events.

“Minister Zhou, is my daughter alright? Those monsters are so vicious, are they very dangerous?” Concern for his daughter overrode everything else. Despite knowing that his daughter was Kamen Rider Agito, with superhuman powers, when he heard about her facing danger, he couldn’t help but worry.

“You can rest assured, Mr. Li. According to the reports from the scene, your daughter is quite formidable. She, along with her friends, easily defeated the monsters that our elite warriors couldn’t even contend with. Her strength is beyond our expectations.”

Hearing Zhou Weiguo’s praise of his daughter, Li Mingwei’s mood brightened, and he laughed heartily.
