Chapter 261 Who are you?
Yun Yi trembled with rage, but looking at the girls being held hostage, he dared not make a move.
Seeing that none of the three moved, the strange headmaster gathered energy in his staff and launched a huge ball of light at them.
"Bah!"
This ball of light was his ultimate attack, and its power was considerable. The ball of light struck the three people, sending them flying! The three were slammed against the wall and crashed heavily to the ground, their transformations canceled.
"Hahaha, Kamen Rider is nothing special!" The monster released the girl, stepped forward, and tentacles emerged from the ground, binding Yun Yi.
Yun Yi was unable to move, and the eccentric principal grabbed him by the neck: "You're the most despicable one! You ruined my plans!"
Lin Yue helped Li Yuetian up as well. The two of them turned their gaze to the strange principal standing not far away. Lin Yue's voice carried a hint of accusation: "Why did you do these things? What's the point of turning these people into your puppets?"
The eccentric headmaster let out a cold laugh, his voice echoing in the empty room, sending a chill down everyone's spine. "You don't understand," he said, "these aren't puppets. I'm merely altering their perceptions through hypnosis. I've amplified these girls' desires to an extreme degree, so I can truly see the essence of humanity!"
His gaze shifted to Yun Yi, his eyes revealing obvious disgust, and he tossed Yun Yi aside like an object.
However, just as Yun Yi was about to fall to the ground, Lin Yue quickly reached out her hands and caught him steadily.
Upon seeing this, the eccentric headmaster showed a hint of surprise, but quickly regained his cold expression. He continued, "Desire! Desire is the essence of humanity! And sexual desire is indispensable for people like you!"
"Look at the people in that room, how happy they are! Their primal sexual desires have been amplified to an infinite degree, and now they can sleep with whomever they like without any moral constraints! There, everyone can experience what it's like to be in paradise!"
Lin Yue frowned and retorted, "Your statement is a complete distortion of human nature! True happiness is absolutely not built on the loss of reason and morality!"
"Hmph, I knew you'd be stubborn! But it's alright, I'll let you experience this pleasure for yourself in a bit, and then you'll know I wasn't lying!"
Having said that, he suddenly raised his hand and continued triumphantly, "As long as I give the order, they will rush in like hungry wolves and assault you! Then you will understand how intoxicating and irresistible this pleasure is!"
"It's over!" He waved his arm, but a second passed, two seconds passed... and nothing happened.
"What's going on? What's going on? Why isn't anyone opening the door and rushing over!" The principal's eyes swirled wildly, and suddenly his eyes widened.
"No! Why, why can't we sense their information anymore! Why?" The principal glared at Yun Yi: "It was you! Did you do this?"
Just then, the door in the distance opened. Although it was quite far away, the strange headmaster could still see clearly that the group of people had all fallen to the ground and fallen asleep.
The girls in the empty room had fallen asleep sometime during the night.
"Don't waste your energy! You're already at your limit!" Lin Yue smiled and stepped forward. When the energy of her Heavenly Emperor Armor spread out, it had already slowly cleared the hypnosis in everyone's minds and the strange pink energy in the campus, and given everyone the command to sleep.
"No! Impossible! It took me more than a month to spread the hypnotic energy throughout the school, and another five days to correct everyone's perceptions! How could it suddenly... be gone?" The eccentric principal clutched his head, his emotions on the verge of collapse.
"I am a pioneer leading humanity toward happiness! I have allowed people to experience their most primal desires, how can that not be true happiness! The definition of happiness is not fixed!" he roared.
"Do not."
Lin Yue stepped forward. Li Yuetian and Yun Yi were a little worried, but Lin Yue stopped them: "The 'happiness' you define is nothing more than a frenzy of desire, an emptiness after the soul has been stripped away. True happiness is never uncontrolled indulgence."
The eccentric headmaster trembled as he backed away, his finger pointing at her with spasmodic force: "What right do you have to judge? True happiness isn't defined by you! You have no idea about the pain of repression! I've seen too many people suffocate under the shackles of hypocritical morality, withering away in the constraints of worldly norms! I'm just tearing off that mask, letting them face their true selves!"
Lin Yue shook her head slightly: "What you call 'truth' is nothing more than a mirror image of desire. You magnify the weaknesses of human nature, but ignore our dignity and rationality. The true self is the ability to control desire, not to be devoured by it."
"Pleasure without responsibility will eventually turn into an abyss of suffering!"
Lin Yue took another step forward, but the strange principal was so frightened that he retreated step by step.
"You...you...who exactly are you?"
Lin Yue stopped in her tracks. Before she knew it, the Crimson Emperor Driver had appeared on her waist! Yun Yi took out his Fist-Locust Insect Device, and Li Yuetian also took out the Final Driver, standing on either side of her.
"A Kamen Rider just passing by!" Lin Yue took out the Decade card and looked at the headmaster monster:
"Remember it for me."
"henshin!"
"henshin!"X2
"KamenRide! Decade!"
"henshin Change PunchHopper!"
"Kamen Ride! Diend!"
Lin Yue inserted the Decade card into the driver, and a burst of magenta mosaic light erupted. Yun Yi and Li Yuetian also transformed simultaneously, their figures enveloped in an energy halo, and armor parts rapidly covered their bodies like flowing light.
The waist-mounted driver unleashed a nebula-like surge of energy. The strange headmaster's pupils constricted, and he slammed his staff into the ground, sending more tentacles surging forth to try and ensnare the three of them.
Lin Yue dodged to the side, simultaneously holding the card-box sword in her left hand and inserting the card into the driver with her right.
"Attack Ride Slash!"
"Your 'happiness' is nothing but a depraved illusion." She raised her hand, conjuring an energy sword that severed all the tentacles, the blade humming as it cut through the air. "True freedom is the right to choose good and evil, not becoming a prisoner of desire!"
"Hypocrites! You Kamen Riders only know how to use power to suppress the truth!" the headmaster roared, seeing a girl lying on the ground not far away, and rushed over to grab her.
If he could capture even one hostage, he would have a chance to escape unscathed, but...
"Attack Ride Blast!"
Lin Yue quickly switched the card-shaped sword in her hand to pistol mode. The gun body was enhanced, and red light bullets were fired at high speed, knocking the strange principal back several steps.
"Damn it!" the eccentric headmaster roared in exasperation, cursing himself for being so unlucky to have encountered such a formidable opponent. Seeing the situation was dire, he quickly turned around and sprinted into the tunnel behind him, disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
"Don't run!" Seeing this, Lin Yue stepped onto the stairs and was about to rush into the tunnel to chase after the strange principal.
However, just as she was about to rush into the tunnel, someone pulled her back. It turned out that Yun Yi and Li Yuetian each grabbed one of her arms.
The two exchanged a glance, seemingly on the same wavelength. Just as Yun Yi was about to explain, Li Yuetian spoke first, saying, "Lin Yue, don't chase after them yet! Be careful, it might be a trap!"
His voice revealed a hint of urgency and worry, clearly concerned that Lin Yue might rashly rush into the tunnel and encounter misfortune.
Just as Li Yuetian finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pressure on his foot. Looking down, he saw that Yun Yi's foot had somehow landed on his.
Before Li Yuetian could react, Yun Yi's foot recoiled as if he had been electrocuted, as if nothing had happened.
"That's part of the story, he did it on purpose!" Li Yuetian understood. Lin Yue also turned around, and Yun Yi quickly explained, "We don't know where this tunnel leads, and the situation inside is unknown. It's too dangerous to rush in. The principal is cunning; there might be a trap waiting for us inside."
