Chapter 79 The Dragon
In the conference room of the Blue Star Federation.
The previously calm holographic projection suddenly erupted with a dazzling light, illuminating the entire conference room. The executives and experts who had been resting instantly tensed up again, their eyes fixed on the holographic projection, filled with eagerness and anticipation.
This is Jiang Lan's Memory Livestream Room?
It's here! It's Jiang Lan's third life memories!
The entire conference room instantly became abuzz with excitement, everyone's eyes fixed on the holographic projection, unwilling to miss a single detail.
At the same time, various media outlets pushed out news and competed to forward the good news that Jianglan Memory's live broadcast room had resumed broadcasting.
[Jiang Lan's Memory Livestream is back! Setting a new record in the Federation's history by conducting three memory explorations!]
That man! He only rested for half a day before going online again!
What surprises will Jiang Lan's third incarnation bring? Stay tuned!
[It's here! Jiang Lan's third life memories have finally premiered!]
[Shocking! Jiang Lan has actually restarted his memory exploration; the pace is at full speed!]
The news quickly went viral, and Jiang Lan's die-hard fans flooded into the live stream like a tidal wave. In less than ten minutes, the number of viewers exceeded ten million, and it continues to grow at an astonishing rate.
"Jiang Lan! Do you know how I survived this half-day without you?!"
"Good heavens! He's back to streaming after only half a day. Even the donkeys in the production team don't work this hard!"
"I'm impressed! To watch Jiang Lan's live stream, I have to catch up on sleep in my hibernation pod, otherwise this non-stop pace is just too much for me!"
"I wonder what Jiang Lan's identity will be in this life?"
"Will he be the villain, or will he remain the hero who protects all of humanity?"
"I just hope that Jiang Lan can be an ordinary person in this life. Being a great hero is just too tiring —"
"Holy crap! How come it started broadcasting so fast again? I just finished catching up on sleep and I'm already here?"
The live stream chat was filled with a rapid stream of comments, all expressing the viewers' amazement and anticipation, bringing the atmosphere to a fever pitch.
Soon, scenes of Jiang Lan's third life slowly appeared in the memory livestream room.
In this life, Jiang Lan is an intern reporter at ORE magazine. As an intern, he is currently investigating ————————————
He's obsessed with uncovering an exclusive story about a missing person case and proving his abilities.
Therefore, he specifically contacted the missing person's landlord, and after some communication, he successfully obtained the key to the missing person's room, intending to enter the room to look for some clues and solve the mystery of the disappearance.
However, as soon as he took the key from the landlord and stepped into the missing person's room, he was completely stunned by what he saw.
Inside the room, all reflective objects—mirrors, windows, and even metal ornaments on the table—were completely sealed off with newspapers, leaving no gaps. The entire room appeared dark and eerie, with an inexplicable sense of oppression permeating the air.
Filled with doubt, Jiang Lan slowly looked around the room, casually tore off a piece of newspaper from the window, and examined it carefully, but found nothing unusual.
"Why seal up all the reflective things?" Jiang Lan frowned, his doubts growing stronger. Just then, he felt as if he had kicked something hard. Looking down, he saw a pitch-black card case. Inside the case lay several strangely styled cards with unfamiliar patterns engraved on them, emanating a faint, eerie aura.
Jiang Lan bent down to pick up the card case, his fingertips tracing the cold surface. A casual glance around the room revealed a shattered window, shards of glass scattered across the floor. Through the broken window, he looked at the glass curtain wall of the building opposite, and vaguely saw a crimson dragon coiling and swimming above it, its scales gleaming with a blinding red light, its imposing presence sending chills down his spine.
Suddenly!
The crimson dragon burst through the glass curtain wall, opened its blood-red maw, and let out a deafening roar, charging towards Jiang Lan with a world-destroying momentum!
Jiang Lan subconsciously raised the card case in her hand. Before she could think, she felt a strong sense of crisis sweep over her.
boom!!
A terrifying burst of energy erupted from the card set, forming a solid barrier that firmly protected Jiang Lan and simultaneously blasted the crimson dragon back. The dragon roared twice in resentment, but ultimately could only reluctantly retreat back into the glass curtain wall and disappear.
The live stream chat exploded with comments, filled with viewers' amazement and bewilderment.
"What exactly is going on? What is that giant dragon? And what is the origin of the box that Jiang Lan found?"
"I don't know, but looking at Jiang Lan in this life, he seems rather simple and honest, a stark contrast to his domineering nature in the previous life, isn't it?"
"Normal, normal! Each incarnation of Jiang Lan should have a different personality and circumstances, which makes sense. It would be strange if each incarnation was exactly the same."
"It seems that Jiang Lan has gained the ability to transform again in this life! No matter how honest he looks, he's definitely not simple!"
"That giant dragon was terrifying! Luckily, Jiang Lan reacted quickly, otherwise it would have been dangerous!"
However, the violent shockwave from the energy burst shattered all the remaining glass in the room, leaving the floor littered with broken glass, creating a chaotic scene.
Jiang Lan looked at the mess on the ground and didn't know what to do. She could only take out her communicator and contact her boss at the magazine, Momoi Reiko.
Upon arriving at the scene, Momoi Reiko immediately apologized to the landlord and took the initiative to assume all compensation. Then, she angrily ordered Jiang Lan to report back to the agency immediately and stop causing trouble and creating chaos outside.
No matter how Jiang Lan explained and recounted the crimson dragon she saw in the room, she refused to believe it, assuming that Jiang Lan was simply confused and had misread something, or was making excuses for her recklessness.
After the compensation matter was settled, Momoi Reiko angrily got into her car and drove off, showing no intention of taking Jiang Lan back with her. As for how Jiang Lan would return to the magazine, she didn't care at all.
Jiang Lan stood there, gazing in the direction Momoi Reiko had gone, his unease growing stronger. He could faintly hear a ringing in his ears, and all sounds around him became blurred. Even more strangely, he could clearly see—on the scattered shards of glass and on the mirrors of distant buildings—strange monsters were moving silently, their forms indistinct, exuding a chilling aura.
"What is this feeling—" Jiang Lan muttered to herself, her brows furrowed. "It seems like something is nearby, watching us like a hawk."
Just then, a short-haired girl appeared in front of him. The girl was slender, but her eyes were unusually serious. She stared straight at Jiang Lan and asked, "Are you a Kamen Rider?"
This girl is the root cause of all the trouble surrounding Kanzaki Yui; it all stems from her.
Jiang Lan was still in a daze and hadn't yet reacted to the girl's question when she saw the monsters moving in the mirror rapidly approaching the direction where Momoi Reiko had left. They were moving at an extremely fast speed, clearly intending to attack Momoi Reiko.
"Miss Reiko! Run!" Jiang Lan's heart tightened, and he shouted loudly to Momoi Reiko in the car, his tone full of urgency.
The next second, the card case in his hand suddenly flashed with a dazzling white light, so bright that it was almost impossible to look directly at it.
brush!
The moment the light burst forth, Jiang Lan's body was drawn up by an invisible force, slowly rising and then being sucked into the Mirror World.
"Aaaaaah—!"
In the passage between the real world and the mirror world, Jiang Lan gradually appeared in a suit of jet-black armor, gleaming with a cold luster. Faint red light flowed across the armor, making it both eerie and majestic.
With a muffled thud, Jiang Lan fell heavily from the passage, crashing onto the ground and stepping completely into the Mirror World.
At that moment, Jiang Lan's memories suddenly flickered violently, and a strange and eerie scene reappeared before his eyes!
brush!
A figure with jet-black eyes and red eyes quietly appeared in the memory scene. The figure exuded an unparalleled terrifying pressure. The mere image made the audience outside the screen tremble and feel a chill run down their spines.
What is this?
Is this Jianglan's future form?
too horrible!
The chat in the live stream paused for a moment, then erupted again, filled with the shock and fear of the viewers.
At that moment, Jiang Lan recognized the fleeting figure at a glance—it was Long Ya, a terrifying being who only talked about physics and not reason!
In this life, Jiang Lan will let all viewers witness firsthand what true contrast is, and what the ceiling of hiding strength and playing dumb to outwit the enemy is!
