Outside Tokyo.
Abandoned factory.
It seemed like no one had been here for a long time, and desolation pervaded everywhere.
The gate outside the factory was shut tight.
The iron gate was rusty.
There was also a signpost standing outside.
It read:
'No Entry'!
But this place had been abandoned by humans for some special reason, leaving it devoid of people.
This did not mean, however, that there were no other creatures inside!
There were.
Seven years ago, along with the alien insects that fell into Shibuya with a meteorite, a large batch of unhatched eggs were stored here. The alien insect cadres had specially assigned a squad of fully molted adult insects to guard them, and the powerful cadres would also frequently visit to inspect.
The 'eggs' distributed across Tokyo, waiting to hatch, were their trump card!
In the blink of an eye!
The scene shifted directly inside the factory.
In the absence of lights.
It was indeed dark.
However...
The alien insects themselves loved this kind of scenery the most, especially the unhatched eggs. They didn't need sunlight at all; they just had to wait for the moment to break out of their shells.
Throughout the entire life of an alien insect, there were a total of two 'molts'.
The first was successfully breaking out of the shell.
The second.
Shedding the heavy cocoon, evolving from a larva into an adult form!
And then... there was nothing else, they just had to wait for death to arrive.
Today was a rather special day.
Nogi Reiji and Mamiya Rina, who were 'high-ranking cadres' of the alien insects, arrived here on time as if by appointment.
Their movements were not being monitored by ZECT.
Cadre-level monsters, unlike ordinary molted adults, not only possessed the common clockup ability but also developed some special abilities, which allowed them to surpass ordinary alien insects. It was precisely because of this that they could become cadres.
That level was not easily attained!
Nogi Reiji was the visible leader of the alien insects at present.
Mamiya Rina belonged to the high-level echelons. However, because Nogi Reiji was a hands-off leader, most of the decisions and strategies actually relied on Mamiya Rina. But 'regular meetings' like this were obviously not the first time. They would always change locations, but after making prior arrangements, it always felt familiar.
In the past, their discussions were always about the development of the alien insects and how to annihilate the original worms, which were old, familiar topics.
But this time was different!
Mamiya Rina had her sights set on two Kamen Riders.
Kabuto and Decade!
According to her recent observations.
She had every reason to believe that these two Riders would become very troublesome enemies standing in their way!
Therefore, they could not wait any longer.
Deal with them one by one first.
Resolve them in advance.
This way, it would be less troublesome later and easier for them to operate, especially the very mysterious magenta-colored Rider, Decade, whom she truly couldn't fathom.
Once these two were dealt with, the remaining Riders would be much easier.
Whether it was The Bee or Drake and Sasword.
Their existence was irrelevant.
Nogi Reiji was indifferent to these matters.
He stylishly flicked his hair, a slight curve of his lips. "I have no opinion on these matters. Just arrange it."
Possessing the special 'clockup' known as time stop, he currently had no great interest in those Kamen Riders.
Let Mamiya Rina send someone to test their mettle.
If they were directly eliminated, there would be no need for him to act, right?
Mamiya Rina nodded upon hearing this.
Her cool face showed no other expression.
She was actually accustomed to this.
After a brief conversation.
This 'meeting' was considered over.
The abandoned factory, one of the hatching grounds, had no problems and had not been discovered by the ZECT organization. Nogi Reiji left quickly, leaving Mamiya Rina alone. She walked in the somewhat empty factory, reached out, and gently stroked the surface of the eggs, her high heels making clicking sounds on the ground.
Hypnotic...
