Wanzhang felt a flicker of warmth after hearing the words. Finally, someone believed in him! However, the heartwarming moment didn't last long as the scene abruptly shifted. Above the Wall of the Sky, the atmosphere was tense and eerie, painted as red as blood. Perched atop the wall stood the enigmatic Bat Man, gazing in the direction where Zhantu and the other two had departed.
In a chilling tone, he declared, "The war... is about to begin."
The viewers from the three realms were instantly intrigued, their curiosity ignited.
"That must be the Batman from Battle Rabbit's memory," someone speculated.
"Yeah, it's him!"
"I can't believe he's here," another added.
"And he said the war is about to begin!"
The discussions grew louder, filled with anticipation:
"Is the war really starting? This is getting exciting!"
"I'm so ready for the next chapter!"
Back in the story, Battle Rabbit led Wanzhang to the coffee shop. Upon seeing them, Soichi's expression shifted dramatically, filled with worry.
"Hey, hey! Do you even realize what you've done?" he scolded.
After all, Wanzhang was a wanted criminal who had escaped from prison. Bringing him here was like directly challenging the police—a reckless move courting disaster.
Battle Rabbit sighed helplessly. "I didn't have a choice! If we hand him over to those people, he'll end up back in prison. And if that happens, he'll just become an experimental subject again."
Soichi frowned in confusion. "Experimental subject? What are you talking about?"
Battle Rabbit explained, "What he's saying matches my memories. I'm pretty sure I was an experimental subject too."
Soichi's eyes widened. "But if both of you were experimental subjects, shouldn't you have turned into monsters by now?"
Excitedly, he added, "Besides, he hasn't lost his memory. He should know where those people's base is!"
Zhantu interjected, "But Wanzhang claims he doesn't remember the location. He said he was framed. If we can uncover the truth about the murder case, we might find clues about the Bat Man's organization."
Viewers across the three realms chimed in:
"Yeah, who is this Bat Man?"
"What's the name of his organization?"
"Zhantu and Wanzhang should head to the Sky Wall. Maybe the Bat Man is still there!"
"Haha, that's a terrible idea. Zhantu's no match for him right now—that'd be suicide!"
On the screen, Zhantu turned to Wanzhang. "Tell us everything. What happened to you?"
Wanzhang, slightly puzzled, asked, "Everything?"
"Everything!" Zhantu insisted.
"Alright," Wanzhang nodded earnestly. "I was born in the obstetrics and gynecology department of a hospital in Yokohama. A healthy baby weighing 6.4 kilograms—"
"Who told you to start from your birth?!" Zhantu snapped, stunned by Wanzhang's literal interpretation.
Laughter erupted among the viewers:
"Haha, Wanzhang's sense of humor is gold!"
"Starting from birth? He'll take three days and nights to finish!"
Wanzhang, slightly flustered, defended himself. "You asked for everything!"
Zhantu groaned. "A normal person would start from recent events, you idiot!"
Angered by the insult, Wanzhang retorted, "Who are you calling an idiot?"
Zhantu clarified, "I meant the process of your arrest!"
"Oh." Wanzhang took a deep breath. "Someone introduced me to work for a scientist. When I arrived at his house, I found him dead. Then, out of nowhere, the police showed up."
Soichi frowned. "That's too much of a coincidence. How did the police know to be there at that exact moment?"
Wanzhang, now visibly stressed, insisted, "I'm telling the truth! I didn't kill anyone!"
At that moment, Misora approached them. Wanzhang, startled, shouted, "Who are you?"
Misora, calm and composed, replied, "I should be the one asking you that question."
Zhantu speculated, "If you were framed for murder and jailbreak, then these incidents must be connected. We need to investigate further. But where do we start?"
Suddenly, a voice interrupted them. "Let me help you."
It was reporter Takigawa Sayo. Wearing a dark blue dress, she descended the stairs gracefully, her smile captivating.
Zhantu's face darkened. "Who are you, and how did you find this place?"
Misora turned to Soichi. "Didn't you close the door?"
Soichi hesitated. "I think I did… Oh wait, I forgot when Battle Rabbit brought Wanzhang in. My bad."
The viewers couldn't help but laugh:
"Haha, classic Soichi!"
"He forgot to close the door, and now this!"
Sayo held up a business card. "You dropped this at the port last night."
Zhantu sighed. "That was careless of me."
The audience laughed even harder:
"This team's mistakes are comedy gold!"
Despite the initial tension, Sayo explained her purpose. "I just came to thank you for what you did at the port. But if you let me interview Kamen Rider, that would be even better."
Zhantu refused outright. "Absolutely not."
Sayo smirked. "If you don't, I'll expose your base."
Misora interjected. "That's shameless!"
Soichi reluctantly agreed. "Fine, but you can't reveal anyone's identity."
Sayo beamed. "Deal."
Later, at the port, Battle Rabbit found himself ambushed by defense soldiers. "It's a trap!" he muttered, dodging attacks. Meanwhile, back at the base, Misora had chained Wanzhang.
"Why am I chained?" he protested.
"You're still a suspect," Misora replied calmly. "I'm not taking chances."
Meanwhile, Zhantu cleverly evaded guards by transforming back into his human form. Greeting the guards with a cheerful, "Good morning," he managed to slip past them unnoticed, earning admiration from the viewers:
"Zhantu's quick thinking is impressive!"
Back at the base, Misora demonstrated her ability to purify energy bottles, much to Wanzhang's disbelief. When he expressed doubt, she confidently proved her skills.
The story took a darker turn as Wanzhang recalled his past. Kasumi, his girlfriend, had encouraged him to work for the scientist Katsuragi. However, upon arriving at Katsuragi's office, Wanzhang discovered the scientist's lifeless body—and moments later, the police burst in to arrest him.
Viewers were outraged:
"It's obvious he was framed!"
"The timing of the police is way too suspicious."
The climax came when Zhantu and Wanzhang confronted a towering robot formed by defense soldiers. As the robot attacked, Zhantu activated his new Gorilla Diamond form, destroying the robot with a single strike. Flames erupted, and the audience erupted in awe:
"Zhantu's strength is incredible!"
In the final moments, Zhantu turned to Wanzhang and asked, "Who is this girlfriend you keep mentioning?"
