In Fuuto: Starting as a Kamen Rider 01

Wind, attack from behind, unconscious without external injury, non-physical changes in the body.

These keywords, when combined, point to a single, and most likely, answer.

No sophisticated instruments are required for inspection.

He was almost 100% certain that this was not some intractable disease that modern medicine could explain.

On that dark night, someone forcibly implanted something into Lily's body that she could not control at all and that would even erode the very essence of her life.

Su Chen was very familiar with that thing.

It is the root of countless crimes and tragedies in this city.

Gaia Memory.

After listening to Lily's tearful plea for help, Su Chen's office fell into a brief silence.

The only sound in the air was the low hum of the technological equipment, which contrasted sharply with Lily's rapid and unsteady breathing.

He didn't offer any words of comfort.

He simply turned to his side calmly, his gaze falling on the secretary who had remained standing still the whole time.

“Iz”.

His voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable air of command.

"Yes, President."

Iz understood immediately.

She took a step, her movements fluid and precise, without a single unnecessary movement, and walked up to Lily, who was trembling all over.

Her eyes, those seemingly ordinary pupils, suddenly lit up, and a series of precise data streams flashed by like a waterfall.

The next second, a soft blue light was projected from her eyes.

The light curtain was not a blinding beam of light, but rather as gentle as water. It silently enveloped Lily's entire body, like a high-precision CT scanner, beginning the most thorough examination.

"Full-body scan initiated, building 3D model..."

Izzy's voice rang out, devoid of any human emotion, each word crystal clear.

"In the vital signs analysis... cell activity was 17.4% lower than normal..."

This cold number made Lily's heart sink, and her palms instantly became soaked with cold sweat.

"Abnormal energy fluctuations detected, originating from the left side of the chest cavity... In-depth analysis is underway..."

As Izzy reported, the holographic projection device in the center of the office was activated.

Countless points of light converged, and a lifelike 3D human body model, the size of Lily, was quickly constructed and slowly rotated in the air.

· ········Requesting flowers···· ······

On the model's chest cavity, near the heart, a conspicuous foreign object was highlighted in a glaring red by the system.

Its shape resembles a USB flash drive, and it is completely black, constantly emitting an unsettling and corrosive energy.

"Analysis completed."

Iz concluded the report.

"A 'Gaia Memory' was found inside Miss Lily's body, which is undergoing an erroneous fusion with her body."

Its attribute is 'Invisible'.

"It is the energy that is constantly dissipating from this memory that has caused Miss Lily's body to become ethereal."

Sure enough.

Su Chen looked at the holographic projection, his eyes turning icy cold in an instant.

The Gaia Memory, which has not been adapted, is directly and crudely implanted into the bodies of ordinary people.

This cruel method of treating human life as worthless instantly reminded him of the evil organization lurking in the shadows of Fengdu—the Museum.

Those scientific fanatics, those fervent believers.

"Mr. Su Chen...Is there any hope for me?"

Lily stared at the terrifying thing projected onto her heart, her voice trembling violently with extreme fear, barely able to form coherent sentences.

"rest assured."

Su Chen withdrew his gaze and gave her a reassuring look.

. . . 0

"For us, this is just a minor operation."

He turned around and gave Izzy another instruction.

"Initiate medical procedures, Plan B, perform non-invasive removal."

"Instruction confirmed."

The nature of the data beam projected from Iz's eyes suddenly changed.

This time, the beam of light contained countless nanorobots that were almost invisible to the naked eye.

Under Izzy's precise control, these micro-robots, like living silver dust, silently infiltrated Lily's body, heading straight for the location of the Gaia Memory along the safest path.

The whole process was strange and bizarre.

Lily didn't feel the slightest bit of stinging or discomfort.

The only thing she could see was the secretary named Izzy in front of her, whose eyes always shone with a deep and steady blue light, as if connected to another unknown world.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Maybe three minutes, maybe five minutes.

For Lily, who was suffering terribly, every second felt like an eternity.

"The nanorobots have reached the target location and are performing energy stripping..."

Izzy's voice broke the silence of the office once again.

"Stripping complete, temporary biological passage under construction..."

"The passage is now complete; we will begin removing the foreign object."

In the real-time holographic projection, everyone could clearly see that the evil "invisible memory" was completely enveloped by a layer of soft energy bubbles.

Nanorobots weave together a temporary, shimmering miniature channel.

The memory was thus slowly and very smoothly transmitted from near Lily's heart through this channel.

Finally, a barely audible "poof" sound was heard.

A memory fragment, shimmering with an eerie purplish-black light, fell onto a sterile tray that Iz had prepared beforehand, making a crisp clinking sound.

The moment the memory is removed from the body.

Lily's body trembled violently, and she let out a long, relieved groan.

To her surprise, the sense of emptiness and powerlessness that had been plaguing her was receding like the tide.

His translucent body was regaining its color and solidity at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A long-lost, vibrant feeling, like a warm current, returned to her limbs and bones.

"I...I'm all better?"

Lily raised her hands in disbelief.

Those hands were no longer an illusory, semi-transparent shape, but had real temperature and texture.

Overjoyed, she wept tears of joy, which streamed down her face.

In just a few minutes, the nightmare that had plagued her for over a month and almost driven her to the brink of despair was completely resolved.

01 The Power of Technology.

This is no longer technology.

This is simply a miracle!

Chapter 79: The Plan to Lure the Snake Out of Its Hole, the Performance Begins, and Isaka Shinkuro Appears

"Thank you! Thank you so much, Mr. Su Chen!"

The warmth of surviving the ordeal was slowly seeping back into Lily's body.

She stood up excitedly from her chair, overwhelmed with gratitude from the depths of her soul, and instinctively wanted to give the man before her the deepest bow.

A hand reached out steadily, gently yet firmly stopping her movement.

"It's just a little effort."

Su Chen's tone remained calm, as if he had only done a trivial matter.

His gaze, however, had already passed over Lily and landed on the "invisible memory" on the tray beside him, which was still emanating an ominous aura.

The surface of that memory chip was shimmering with an eerie, dark light, like a sleeping venomous insect. Even after it was removed, it still exuded a chilling aura.

Su Chen's gaze sharpened.

"However, the matter is not over yet."

"Although the memory has been removed, the bastard who attacked you behind your back is still at large."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a cold hammer, shattering Lily's newly risen joy.

“If we don’t bring him to justice, there’s no guarantee he won’t go looking for another victim.”

The words "next victim" were like a curse, instantly draining all the color from Lily's face.

The dark figure that attacked him, the cold and eerie touch, the excruciating pain and helplessness from the forced implantation of a foreign object—all flooded back into his mind like a tidal wave. "210."

She couldn't help but hug her arms, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"Then...what should we do?"

Her voice trembled uncontrollably, filled with fear of the unknown.
