Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 441 Let's Learn Our Own Desire Stone

"No matter how much I look at it, every time I see this place, I still feel exaggerated." Standing in front of the isolation door, Miyano Akemi looked at the three bright red arrows on the wall where the material could not be felt, and the sense of absurdity surged again. heart.

She knew that, as the founder of Cognitive Medicine, even after discovering the essence of the organization, he has been obsessing over others and delaying the progress of the project. Karazawa's influence in this aspect cannot be ignored-in Pisco's palace, they I have seen enough of the effects of those fancy K-words.

But in the impression space that represents the collective subconscious of the public, it is still incredible to see such marks on the partitions of each floor.

"Perhaps, his influence in practical applications is greater than we expected." Thinking of the "Tang Ze School" hanging above his head, Tang Ze could only shake his head helplessly, "When entering the impression space, I I didn’t expect that this kind of theory that sounds like metaphysics not only has many supporters, but also treats him as a spiritual leader.”

"Then take the lead in dissecting the spiritual leader's children, right? No wonder the organization recruits from among them." After hearing the cause and effect, Xing Chuanhui rolled his eyes.

"Let's see what's down there first." Rubbing the back of his neck that was bumped all the way by the car, Tang Ze walked towards the isolation door, "This time, it should be the entrance to the next area..."

The 200th floor is already hell, don’t add it, don’t add it, it’s really a re-engraved wave of passionate climbing towers, if you are a man, you can go down to the [-]th floor, right?
Tang Ze, who habitually opened his third eye to look for interactive locations, saw very familiar things at a glance.

In the center of the wall, the shadow of a section of red thread pierced the wall, floating slowly, exactly the same as what Tang Ze saw when he first saw the isolation door on the lower floor of Impression Space.

how?Are you coming to eat snakes again?
Tang Ze, who was a little more alert, tore off his scarf first, so as to avoid the experience of being strangled to death by props again.

Tentatively, Tangze moved the scarf in his hand forward and touched the red line in the middle of the wall.

As if attracted by something invisible, the red scarf immediately flew up and met the red shadow, and the three red triangles on the door also lit up.

The red light swept over the few of them in an instant.

The familiar electronic female voice, with a flat tone and no ups and downs, echoed in the entire hall like a broadcast in a subway station.

"New visitor detected."

"Visitor permission confirmation..."

"Permission confirmed."

"Access has been unlocked."

"Welcome back, Tang Ze—Zi—"

The second half of the last sentence was overwhelmed by a harsh interfering sound. When the pronunciation reached the second syllable of sawa, it was completely impossible to distinguish the content behind it.

"...I almost forgot about this one." Looking around behind the isolation doors on both sides, there are many dark shadows, and the "shadow subway" emitting red light through the door leaves, Miyano Akemi's hair stood on end, and couldn't help it He took a step back in the direction of his teammates, and consciously formed a back-to-back defensive formation with them, "Ark, this sound, your game cabin opening prompt, uses the same sound. What kind of sound source sample is this? Or , is this the sound effect you synthesized?"

"I didn't do it." Noah shook his head with a serious expression, "I'm only in charge of the software part of the game. Those 'game cabins' actually provide me with the ability to use sensors to confirm people's identities and pull people into the game space." The medium of the... If you want to talk about the sound source of those prompts..."

As he recalled, as he recalled, the stream of data rolled in his eyes for a moment, slowly revealing a slightly perplexed look.

"It seems to be automatically generated after the data docking is completed?" Noah frowned.

"Also, what does the phrase 'Welcome back' mean?" Xing Chuanhui glanced at Tang Ze who was silently clutching the end of his scarf, looking like he was thinking, and asked quickly, "'Tang Ze', what the hell is going on? Which 'Karasawa' you are referring to?"

"Uncle and aunt, have you really entered the impression space?" On this issue, Miyano Akemi was particularly confused.

She once asked Shiho in an insinuating way, whether he knew about the existence of the Cognitive World.

Compared to her part-time amateur during this holiday, Miyano Shiho is the real assistant of Ichikawa Karasawa and Leona Karasawa. Her academic background in life sciences and unparalleled academic IQ are extremely good in this frontier field where there are no pioneers. It is normal for someone with rich advantages to be trained as an apprentice.

If she has an idea about this, then tell her the situation of the Phantom Thieves slowly, and she must be able to accept it.

What's more, she seemed to be aware of something.

Maybe it's still in the stage of suspicion, and it hasn't been confirmed for the time being, but when she occasionally came to House No. 22, the feeling that she didn't dare to take a second look for fear of prying through some terrible secrets was real.

"Seeing through but not revealing, a kind of professionalism of riddlers." Tang Ze commented in this way.

However, Shiho didn't seem to be pretending that he didn't understand.

——This is certified by Tang Ze, Shiho's acting skills are not good enough for this.It will be more difficult than imagined for a smart person who has done relevant academics for many years to pretend to be stupid. This may be the curse of knowledge.

If my uncle had really seen the Cognitive World with his own eyes, there would be no reason to have to hide Shiho, who had the closest relationship with them and his wife, when he knew he was dying.

But if the name after "Tang Ze" is "Zhao"...

Miyano Akemi's eyes were also cast on Tang Ze's silent back.

"According to the common routines of film and television dramas," Asai Chengshi, who didn't insert a few words along the way because he didn't know much, jumped up abruptly, "At this time, the joker should perform a split personality, or another blackened one should appear. joker or something..."

Tang Ze turned his head helplessly, and glanced at them: "What kind of low-quality horror movie, toilet paper light novel plot? A little bit? What kind of split personality, it's too old-fashioned."

"Isn't it?" Asai Narumi tilted his head, and the high ponytail on the back of his head shook twice, "It's too much like a 'deliberately designed trap', isn't it?"

"Tang Ze alter, right?" Tang Ze shook his head and continued to look down at the scarf in his hand, spit out a joke that no one understands, "Don't worry about the notification sound, no matter if it's 'Tang Ze Yichuan' or 'Tang Zelei' behind it." "Oona" or even "Tang Zezhao" is fine, the point now is not this."

As he said that, Tang Ze opened his hand lightly, and the scarf automatically and consciously sucked back, rolled it around his neck, and hung it there securely again.

The tail is 20 centimeters longer—a small problem. Tang Ze had expected it when he saw the snake eating last time. His scarf looks like it was borrowed from the Journeyman next door. It keeps getting longer and longer. , sooner or later it has to be dragged on the ground.

The brooch hanging on the scarf still stayed there peacefully.

However, on the thin golden chain connected to the brooch, there was an extra row of buttons inexplicably.

The original gold chain was just a decoration, and each link was the same size.

Originally, the focus of this brooch is the K-shaped part made of X alloy. The pins at the back and the feathers hanging on the other end are all designed to make it look more like a brooch and reduce the suspicion of the organization. Ornaments.If this fragment was not of a certain size and would be too conspicuous when made into a necklace, pendant, earrings, etc., it might not be a brooch.

But on this chain, there are inexplicably a few extra rings that are several sizes larger than the front and back rings, just like the connecting rings left on many chains to hang decorations.

And now, on a ring closest to the brooch, was hanging a dark pendant.

Several people looked closely at their faces, but they didn't understand why, and turned their gazes to Tang Ze again, waiting for the answer.

Tang Ze's answer was to reach out and pull the diamond-shaped, black crystal-like thing off.

"I have to say, our own desire stone in the world of Ke Xue is just different."

"Ah? What did you say?" Xing Chuanhui froze for a moment when he heard Tang Ze spit out a string of unfamiliar words.

"I said, this thing is called 'Yushi'." After spit out this cross-dimensional trough, Tang Ze, who was refreshed, switched back to Japanese, pinched this small crystal and turned it twice, Tang Ze read out After seeing the "appraisal result" given in his own item bar, "As the name suggests, it is the crystallization of human desires..."

With that said, Tang Ze's gaze could not help but drift towards Noah's face.

Squeezing the hard crystal in his hand, Tang Ze stretched it out in front of Noah.

"Ah?" Noah looked at his movements blankly, not understanding what he was doing.

"Well, do you want to try eating one?" Tang Ze said with a very serious expression.

"Eat, eat? How to eat?" Noah tilted his head back, and distanced himself from his fingers, "I don't need to eat..."

"Just give it a try, eat one and treat it like a melon seed." Tang Ze suggested with a serious face.

"It's good, why do you want me to eat this." Noah asked incomprehensibly.

"Maybe if you eat it, you can feel something, the power contained in it, and if you learn about human desires, wouldn't you be able to become a human?"

It seems that Noah, an artificial intelligence robot that is not completely human, is the most suitable for Joseph's setting.

Although this kind of thing seems to be a new mechanism of the system at first glance, it is unlikely to be used to raise robots. It cannot be that his parents predicted that he would have a teammate who was not a human and gave him something to cultivate. Right?
But, in case, who knows what will be sewn.

Under Tang Ze's expectant gaze, Noah hesitantly took the crystal from his hand, and bit it carefully.

"How about it?"

"Well...it's hard, I can't bite it." Noah gave an honest answer.

"Don't bully Ark." Pulling the crystal out of Noah's hand, Akemi Miyano shoved it back into Tang Ze's hand angrily, "In short, it is also something produced by the cognitive world, right? You Take it and study it by yourself, and if you don’t understand it, take it to Shiho.”

Hey, it really is not that simple.

After accepting the crystal with regret, Tang Ze looked at his slightly changed brooch for a while, and clicked his tongue.

"There are a few more vacancies for some reason, so it's a pleasure to look at."

How should I put it, I have a feeling that my equipment suddenly has a few more holes, and I have a feeling of PTSD that the next step is to brush entries, inlay, and gems will explode if I am not careful.

and so……

"Go down, let me see what's new." Tang Ze lifted his spirits after glancing at the wall revealing the steps below, "It's a good time to try the mechanism of producing the desire stone."

Looking at the posture of Yushi growing from his body - it is somewhat strange, why he has become a material output point, and now he is really a treasure demon - the Yushi of this world should not need to fill the maze by himself Crawling around looking for elements to collect.

So now I want to test, what kind of production mechanism is it, is it a naturally growing material, or is it a hall leader by itself, or is it a shadow leader?
Anyway, if it is the latter two cases...

What, you look down on the level of hardcore players who can grind materials, right?I'm sorry for all the trash in Mikka Town!

Seeing Tang Ze leading the way with his head held high and his chest high, Noah's first reaction was to hide behind Miyano Akemi.

Miyano Akemi looked back at him strangely.

"Although I don't know why, I always feel that the leader has an inexplicable fighting spirit and fighting spirit." Noah whispered in a small voice, "It looks a little scary."

"It's okay." Patting Noah's head reassuringly, Akemi Miyano said pertinently, "We won't be the ones who are unlucky."

"Hey, a wedding invitation?" Mao Lilan, who had returned home after a long journey, answered the call from Suzuki Sonoko and said very unexpectedly, "Teacher Matsumoto, are you getting married?"

"Yeah, I was surprised too." Seeing the wedding invitation in his hand, Sonoko Suzuki held his phone sideways, feeling deeply moved, "Thinking about it, I really haven't seen a teacher in middle school for a long time."

"Why did you notify so hastily!" Putting down the backpack, Mao Lilan glanced at Conan, who was leaning towards the side with his ears pricked up, patted his head, and asked Suzuki Sonoko, "Mr. Matsumoto, it doesn't seem like it will be easy The one who made the decision to get married?"

"That, I have inquired about it," Suzuki Sonoko casually chatted about the gossip she heard while picking up the magazine beside her, "It's impossible to get married in a flash, it seems like they have been in love for several years, but The man is a rich young master, as if something happened in the group."

"The rich young master?" Mao Lilan blinked in surprise, "Do you know him? What kind of person is he?"

"Yes, I saw the invitation. The man's name is Takasugi Toshihiko... If it's not the same name, I have met him at some banquets. He is the heir of the Takayama Group." He flipped through two more pages of the magazine. Suzuki Sonoko recalled her impression and replied briefly, "Well, Matsumoto-sensei actually fell in love with this guy, which is surprising."

"Oh? Is he not well?" Hearing the implication of her best friend, Mao Lilan stood up, rolled up her sleeves and walked to the kitchen, holding her mobile phone on her shoulder as well.

"The reputation is so-so. He seems to be quite gentle. He doesn't have many son-in-law's problems, but I heard that he has an indecisive personality and an unstable mentality. Many people are not very optimistic about his succession to the group." Looking at the magazine Suzuki Sonoko shook his head and turned to the next page, "There are some nasty sayings that 'the Takayama Group will be destroyed by him sooner or later' and the like..."

"Well, if the personality is very soft, then it matches well with Mr. Matsumoto." After imagining the image of the other party, Mao Lilan picked up the kitchen knife in one hand and touched the cutting board with the other, "Is it the man's intention to get married so eagerly?"

"It's probably something else. Only when you get married can you recognize the right of inheritance, and you can rest assured only if you have the next generation." Suzuki Sonoko turned the page again, "According to my father, it's all public opinion that boosted the stock price. .”

Mao Lilan's hand holding the knife stopped, and he didn't know whether it was sympathy or lingering fear and said: "...It is really a lot of trouble to want to marry a rich man."

"It's okay, it's related to the main business of each group and the history of the founder's wealth, and it's not always like this... Hey, Xiaolan," Sonoko Suzuki suddenly brightened up after turning a few pages, "Do you want to go skiing? I saw a good advertisement for a ski resort. Thinking about it, it seems that I haven't gone skiing for a long time..."

"Why are the topics jumping so fast?" Mao Lilan, who couldn't laugh or cry, suddenly felt a change in the touch of his left hand, looked down, and saw Conan running from the other side of the cooking table with a cutting board, and just passed it to his hand.

Seeing Mao Lilan's surprised expression, Conan grinned embarrassedly.

How should I put it? At that time, he really listened to what Karasawa was saying about Mouri Kogoro one by one.

What is "Self-care is what adults should do. If a wife does not do housework, her daughter will do it. If a son is born, will the two old men die at home together?" What is "It is because work neglects the family that I am not a criminal policeman. Yes, it turns out that if you really leave your job and your family is ruined, then whose fault is it?" or something like that...

Well, in short, it is reasonable to stay at someone else's house and help the host's house!
"Thank you." Seeing Conan running back and forth, Mao Lilan rolled his eyes.

"Eh? Thank you all of a sudden?"

"No, Conan is very obedient today."

"So why not go, skiing! Isn't it just a few days before the holiday? Hey, yes, aren't you going to the island, why are you back so soon?"

"Don't mention it, too many things have happened... Let's wait and see after the teacher's wedding is over? My father is still on the island and hasn't come back yet."

"However, in such a hurry, if it only takes two days, that reasoning maniac who disappeared must not be able to come, right?"

"Well, I guess so. I met his mother a few days ago. He is in the United States with his father now. Even if I tell him now, I guess..."

Hearing the two girls chatting in his ears, Conan, who became more guilty the more he listened, picked up the garbage dump in the kitchen, tiptoed to the sofa, and picked up his mobile phone.
