Chapter 160 Memories
Meanwhile, in the prison, the battle between the outsider OZ and OZ continues.
"Why didn't you fight back?" Although Cao Yu had temporarily lost control of his body, he was still conscious, and he questioned Cao Shou. Cao Shou looked at the alien Oz, his eyes filled with pain: "I didn't want to hurt you, I owe you too much." Cao Yu sneered: "Stop pretending, today it's either you or me who dies."
Cao Shou neither dodged nor avoided the rain of punches and kicks from Cao Yu, but Cao Shou simply endured them silently.
"You think I won't hit you if you don't fight back? This is what you owe me!" The Otherworldly Oz sneered. "You finally figured it out? Let's kill him together! Once we kill him, your Psychic synergy will be complete! And then you can get your revenge!"
Cao Yu struggled internally, but soon, the image of his fiancée He Yi's tragic death flashed before his eyes again—it was the man in front of him who had killed his fiancée.
"Why! Why was someone like you chosen as a Kamen Rider! Why!"
He forcefully regained control of his body, extending his sharp claws to grab Cao Shou.
Cao Shou spat out a mouthful of blood, struggling to raise his arms to block it: "Xiao Yu, I'm so sorry, but... I had no choice..."
Seeing Cao Yu attack again, Cao Shou could only fight back while recounting what had happened...
That was a dark day for him.
As an undercover agent, his abilities were exceptional, which is why he enjoyed the Dark King's deep trust. However, in stark contrast, the Shadow King always harbored deep suspicion and distrust towards him.
The Shadow King was narrow-minded and extremely jealous, harboring resentment towards his outstanding abilities. What displeased the Shadow King even more was that he not only rarely engaged in killing, but also had no interest in women.
This unconventional style of doing things made the Shadow King feel out of place and very unhappy. Therefore, the Shadow King often sent his men to secretly follow him and conduct a comprehensive and in-depth investigation into his past experiences.
Despite his meticulous concealment of his personal information, even the most careful plans can have flaws, and he eventually inadvertently revealed some clues. After a painstaking investigation, the Shadow King discovered that he had a biological younger brother named Cao Yu, and even more surprisingly, Cao Yu was actually a policeman!
As if grasping at a lifeline, Shadow King clung tightly to this matter, refusing to let go. He stubbornly believed that since Cao Shou had a younger brother who was a policeman, Cao Shou must be just like Cao Yu and could never be truly loyal to them.
Faced with the Shadow King's irrational and reckless behavior, the Dark King had rebuked him, pointing out that his baseless suspicions were utterly absurd. However, contrary to his wishes, despite the Dark King's earnest admonitions, the seed of doubt had unknowingly taken deep root in the Dark King's heart.
Not long after, Shadow King launched another round of probing attacks like a storm. On that very day, when the five leaders of City X gathered for a meeting, Shadow King walked in with a smile on his face, dragging a girl covered in blood and breathing so weakly that she seemed about to die at any moment.
He said viciously, "This woman is a spy planted by the police! And... she's an old acquaintance of our Lord Li!" As he spoke, Shadow King suddenly reached out and grabbed the girl's hair, forcefully lifting her face up.
Although the girl's face was now blurred with blood, Cao Shou looked closely and was immediately shocked—it turned out that this person was none other than He Yi, the fiancée of his own younger brother Cao Yu!
Although surprised, his face remained expressionless. He knew that everyone around him was watching him, especially the Dark King!
Shadow King continued to provoke: "Cao Shou, are you still going to pretend to be indifferent?" Cao Shou clenched his fist, his nails digging into his palm.
At this moment, the Dark King spoke up: "So this woman is your brother's wife? I didn't know that..."
Cao Shou took a deep breath and then slowly said, "Yes, I do know her. But to be honest, I had no idea she was a member of the police! Besides, my brother and I have long since severed ties and become complete strangers!"
Upon hearing this, Shadow King suddenly burst into laughter, the sound seemingly about to shatter the roof: "Hmph, who would believe your nonsense? This woman has been here for over a month! In fact, from the moment she stepped through this door, we knew perfectly well she was an undercover agent! Hehe, let me tell you, it was actually my informant outside who successfully lured her in..."
At this point, Shadow King paused slightly, then continued in a mocking tone, "This policewoman is really young! I've been playing with her for so many days and I still don't get tired of her! Oh, sorry, Brother Cao. I only told you this when we were almost torturing her to death!" After saying this, Shadow King still maintained his nonchalant demeanor, speaking in a joking tone, without a trace of remorse on his face.
However, Cao Shou knew very well that the treacherous Dark King was watching him like a venomous snake! Therefore, at this critical moment, he absolutely could not expose the slightest flaw.
He could only desperately suppress the extreme disgust he felt for these people, forcing out an incredibly lewd smile to respond: "Hey, you're really not being fair! To be honest, I've been wanting to have some fun with this woman for a long time, but unfortunately, she happens to be my brother's girlfriend, and because of that relationship, it's really inconvenient for me to make a move."
At this moment, Dark King, who had been staring at him intently, finally relaxed his brows and laughed heartily: "So that's how it is. I noticed you never played with women, and I thought you had something wrong with that area. Turns out you like other people's women! You should have said so earlier!"
Cao Shou could only agree with him, but Shadow King was still uneasy: "We were originally planning to kill this woman today to intimidate the police. Since she's an acquaintance of Brother Cao, let Brother Cao do it himself!"
Cao Shou stared wide-eyed at the dagger that Shadow King slowly handed over.
His hands began to tremble slightly involuntarily. He knew that this choice would determine everything; if he refused, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Under the Shadow King's instigation, the Dark King is already suspicious of him, but if he catches it...
The inner struggle caused Cao Shou immense pain.
"What, Brother Cao, do you still have a heart of pity?" Shadow King had an extremely hypocritical smile on his lips, and at the same time, he gently pressed the switch on the camera in his hand, and the lens was pointed directly at Cao Shou.
Cao Shou gritted his teeth and, after a short time of thought, snatched the knife.
Seeing this, the Shadow King revealed a smug expression. The Dark King, upon witnessing this scene, also relaxed his tense nerves slightly.
Cao Shou gripped the hilt of his sword and walked step by step toward He Yi. With each step, the hatred in his heart burned ever brighter, like a raging fire.
Despite this, he still dared not show even the slightest emotional fluctuation, for fear of arousing suspicion from Shadow King and others.
When he finally reached He Yi, he stopped, lowered his head, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"Sorry……"
Before he could finish speaking, Cao Shou and He Yi locked eyes.
He clearly saw that there was no anger, hatred, or despair in He Yi's eyes; instead, there was a deep understanding and relief.
She must have guessed it.
Thinking of this, Cao Shou's hands trembled again, but he still tried his best to suppress the surging anger in his heart.
He took a deep breath, raised the sharp blade in his hand, and then swung his arm without hesitation... A cold, sharp light flashed, and he brought the blade down...
I am sorry…
The camera in the King of Shadows' hand captured the moment the head was severed with perfect precision...
