Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 1078: Enough Gameplay

“…That’s it.”

Sitting down in a seat near the street, Erenica looked at the building opposite and pointed at Christina's wedding venue.

"You only have one chance. You can only succeed. You can't fail. Inform everyone to get as close to the Shibuya Hikari Building as possible."

"Of course." The man next to her responded. Seeing that she had no more orders, he couldn't help but ask, "By the way, about that group of people..."

"Don't worry about it." Erenikka interrupted his speculation. "We have checked all the resources and nothing has been done. Since their purpose is not to hinder us, there is no need to spend so much energy. Just do what needs to be done."

Since the other party has no additional conditions, it means that what I want to do is their goal.

Erenica understood this, but for the time being she didn't think about what the other party was going to do.

Her expression was quite calm, calmer than she thought.

If they could capture Pramya and bring the beast to justice, their goal would finally be achieved.

And if they fail to catch him, this will be Pramya’s last “performance”, and their goal will be forever lost in the dust of time.

They only had one chance. Eileenika thought she would be even angrier or more emotional than she was now, but as she stared deeply at the building on that side, she could only feel an instinctive concentration.

This is what Conan saw when he hurried into the restaurant.

The woman was holding a cup of coffee in her hand, sipping it while looking towards the lights of Shibuya across the street.

That expression, that quiet state, as if accumulating strength, was like a lion lying in the grass, waiting for its prey to show a flaw.

After calming himself down, Conan walked over to her side.

"Ms. Elenica... is that what I call you?"

Elenica turned her head and saw Conan's appearance. She raised her eyebrows and said, "You are the kid from that day..."

Although they were unable to fight back against the police officer pretending to be Jinpei Matsuda due to the attack of the mysterious man, she still saw a child running towards them with a flashlight in her hand in a quick glance.

"...You still remember me." Conan was surprised when she said this.

"It's hard not to notice a child of this age in such a dangerous situation." Erenika curled her lips, "How did you find this place?"

How else could they find him? Of course, they found the kidnapper himself.

Although Conan was not sure where they were hidden these two days, he knew exactly who took them away.

It is hard to mistake the bright and glaring red fabric in the darkness.

Combined with the information that the "kidnapper" was the Phantom Thief of Hearts, he didn't even need to spend time tracking and determining the whereabouts of this group of people.

——Using that special ability and space, this group of people wanted to take away dozens of people out of thin air. The only difficulty was how to drag people to a place, not how to do it.

The Phantom Thief of Hearts will not hurt others easily, especially after clarifying his identity.

It is precisely because of this that neither Conan nor the police went into detail about the whereabouts of this group of people. They just issued a few wanted notices symbolically and then turned their attention back to Pramya.

"Well, detectives always have their own sources of information." Conan was not sure what happened to this group of people and the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, so he just vaguely said, "Are you going to disrupt the wedding tonight?"

After being asked so directly, Erenica finally turned around and looked at the short child.

"Is this what they call a 'helper'? That's a bit absurd."

"Hmm?" Conan was stunned, not understanding what she meant.

"...Such a young child should not participate in such a dangerous thing." Erenikha shook her head and put down the empty coffee cup. "It would be too tragic if he ended up like my son. If you really want to do something, then try to persuade others to leave Shibuya. The price of failure is very painful."

As she spoke, she gestured to her two companions beside her, indicating that it was time to leave and make preparations. It was obvious that she did not intend to involve Conan.

Conan decisively stopped him with his arms outstretched.

"I know who Pramya is." In order to increase his persuasiveness, Conan decisively chose to speak in Russian, "and I know where the bombs are."

"You can speak Russian..." Erenika was slightly stunned, and soon her expression turned serious, "That is to say..."

"Yes, I heard your conversation in the underground passage that day. As you can see, most people would not agree with what a little kid like me said, just like you. So, what we need now is mutual help..."

----

"It's really troublesome."

After wiping off the blue liquid splashed on her face, Shimabukuro Kimie exhaled, carefully controlled her steps, and watched Tang Ze bending down to pick up the candy on the ground, and couldn't help but complain.

"If this is really an amusement ride, I would give it full marks. It would be even better if these 'colored balls' were not bombs."

Tang Ze raised his head, wiped his hair that was wet with magenta liquid, and shrugged: "I have to say, as the organizer, her project design is quite interesting."

As long as it is really in the context of P5's game, he might praise the other party's excellent artistic performance and first-class gameplay.

Considering Pramya's bomb form, it's no surprise that the combat mechanics in her halls are highly color-dependent.

After leaving the ground, they quickly found the real passage to the entire hall by smashing pumpkins.

It was not on the ground like the terrain of Shibuya, but in mid-air.

Since this is a "hidden route", they must constantly break pumpkins filled with liquid along the way so that they can find the next direction through the liquid that spills out after the pumpkin is broken.

But the pumpkin is not just a pumpkin. Whether in reality or in the temple, it is the most important part of the Pramya Project.

"Seriously, how did she replace so many pumpkin lanterns?" After combing her hair and finally getting rid of the cold and sticky feeling, Miyano Akemi let out a breath and began to think about some details.

The entire Shibuya area blocked off for Halloween is nearly 2 kilometers long. With Shibuya Crossing as the center, Pramiya divides the entire blockade into two parts, east and west, and places pumpkins filled with a liquid material in each part. When the time is up or the remote control is pressed, the pumpkins will burst.

A huge amount of chemical liquid will converge towards the center along the terrain, and after touching each other, it will cause a violent explosion.

——This design sounds good. It would be more comprehensive if it didn’t require preparing thousands or tens of thousands of pumpkin lanterns in advance.

"Who knows? She is so resourceful that she can come up with so many cases. It doesn't seem so incredible that she can use certain channels to replace the originally prepared materials." Hagiwara Kenji stepped on the ground that was covered with a thin layer of liquid, which made a splashing sound when he stepped on it, and put away his motorcycle. "I have given up thinking about this problem."

Indeed. Tons of dangerous compounds have to be poured into the gaps in the lamps.

This is not something that can be accomplished simply by charming a former police officer.

"If she has the energy, she can do anything else. She was able to successfully bid for such a large project. She will make a lot of money if she runs a commercial operation, right?" Matsuda Jinpei said unhappily, "Why does she want to be a bomber?"

"She can play the role of a business translator well. In theory, she doesn't need to rely on illegal activities to make a living." Tang Ze shrugged. "Maybe this is what business is for work, and explosions are for life."

To be honest, although it is troublesome to fight, the Palace of Pramya is very entertaining.

The solutions to the different pathways corresponding to the two different pumpkin lanterns include the combat attributes that need to be used with attention. Whether it is paying attention to the balance of the liquid or observing the attribute conversion of the shadow and making corresponding strategies, it can be seen that the entire hall is highly related to the element of mixing, and how Pramya regards his bombs as a rich game.

From a psychological perspective, this might allow for some academic arguments based on the duality of Pramya's character, the hidden true self and the disguised false mask, but Tangze is not in the mood now.

There is no way, the road to pass Pramya is too long.

"I remember that her wedding was held in a building with more than 40 floors." Jinpei Matsuda, who was temporarily banned for using the fire attribute, could only flip through the map. After checking it dryly, he took over Noah's job. "We are now at a height of about 30 meters, and we are probably still two-thirds of the way to the finish line."

After all, this is not a straight-line relationship between up and down. It is between the wedding venue and the secret treasure in the palace. There may be new changes in this two-thirds of the distance.

By the time they can get to the door of the secret treasure room in time, the wedding may really begin.

"This is really troublesome." Asai Chengmi pulled his arrow back from the broken pumpkin and sighed, "And this is when the master of the hall is on high alert."

In order to ensure the provocative effect and hatred value, Tangze used another identity to jump in front of Pramya several times.

Whether it was the verbal part that played to the strengths of Kyoto people, or the part about what Pramya feared the most, that is, the exposure of her social identity, Karasawa did his best to give ridicule.

Especially after Pramiya's plan to silence her failed again, Tangze, who was sitting opposite her, even kept glancing at her intentionally or unintentionally, which could be said to be the extreme of mockery.

Even though the plan was now being implemented smoothly, Pramya's attention was no longer on Goro Akechi, but she began to observe the movements of the police and monitor the successful installation of her big and small pumpkins, and the alert value still did not drop.

Naturally, the difficulty of their battles also increased.

"That's right." Tang Ze led the way forward and continued to direct Asai Chengmi to destroy the next group of pumpkin lanterns. He did not forget to answer, "But I don't think the situation is that bad."

Pointing to the tall building in front of him that was glowing faintly and had a cross drawn on it with fluorescent paint, Tang Ze showed a smile on the lower half of his face that was not covered by the mask.

"The enemies we have to deal with this time are more troublesome than just the gentle ones like us."

----

"Are there enough neutralizers?"

"Some vehicles from the fire department have been urgently called in and are being loaded at an accelerated pace."

"We must be prepared for explosions to happen at any time. Have you prepared an emergency plan for evacuation?"

"Well, some people have already passed through the surrounding intersections. We are going to start closing the surrounding subway station exits within the next hour to facilitate diversion."

"it is good."

After confirming the process again, Fūya Rei adjusted his suit and walked into the elevator hidden in the facility.

As a secret intelligence department, Group Zero has a very high priority, and it is not difficult to temporarily call on some special facilities and apply for support from all aspects.

The real trouble lies with him, the person in charge.

"Mr. Fūya..." After waiting until there was no one else around, Kazami Yuya finally dared to speak, "Do you really want to go by yourself? Well, I don't mean to say that you can't handle the situation. After all, this is a security incident that the Investigation Division is following up on."

The identity of Rei Furuya is a very important secret, but today's prisoner, Pramiya, knows his face very well.

This highly recognizable face will be called out whenever it appears in front of Pramya.

The trouble wouldn't be with Pramia, but with the police officers of the Investigation Division 1 who would learn information they shouldn't know...

"I will be careful not to appear in front of them." Furuya Ling said calmly, "If Tang Ze can appear there, it won't make much difference if I do it instead."

Now that the organization has identified Pramya as a threat, Bourbon has every reason to be on the scene.

With this in mind, he could even openly clash and fight with Pramiya. This was a rare opportunity, so how could he really sit still?

"I think Karasawa doesn't want to see this scene..." Kazami Yuya said in a low voice.

"It's as if I want to see all of his plans." Furiya Rei shook his head, not buying it at all.

"But……"

"Pramya is coming for me." Fūya Rei said briefly, extinguishing Yuya Kazami's hesitation. "Karase took this into consideration and chose to approach her himself. In the final analysis, he is solving the problem for me."

Pramiya came here to talk about what happened three years ago.

Although Jinpei Matsuda and Kagemitsu Morobushi are now also teammates of Karasawa, in the final analysis, they also appeared by Karasawa's side because of him.

Because of this, how could he sit idly by and watch others help him face danger and solve problems?
