After lunch, there were still two classes left before the Phantom Thieves entered Kamoshida Hall.
The paper shop came out of the hotel and went into the Lubrown Coffee Shop.
"Dingling~"
"Welcome, huh? It's you."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
The paper shop looked at the world and saw that there was still a table of customers in the coffee shop at noon.
After taking a look at the customer drinking coffee and finding that she was an elderly lady, he stopped paying too much attention to her.
"So, would you like some coffee, or is there something you want to talk about?"
Faced with Boss Sakura's question, which showed no intention of taking action, Zhixing simply opened his mouth to confirm:
"Do you have a lot of customers at this hour? I want to take up some of your time."
"Hmm? Some time? Is there something wrong over there?"
Boss Sakura glanced at the regular customers across from him and didn't mention Futaba's name, but she was also a little worried.
"Don't worry, the situation there is much better now and has returned to normal levels, but it is still far from being resolved."
"I came to you not because of something going on over there, but to ask you, are you ready?"
"Prepare?"
Boss Sakura rubbed his head, looking unsure of what to prepare.
"If you want money, then name your price. Let me be clear, my business here is barely enough to cover my expenses, and I haven't saved much."
Zhixing shook his head. He remembered that although Boss Sakura could not remember men's phone numbers, she should be able to remember at least some things, especially when it came to Futaba.
"I'm talking about being prepared to solve problems yourself."
"Me? Really? Can I solve a problem that even you can't solve?"
Boss Sakura suddenly began to mix a cup of coffee with skillful movements, as if trying to appear that she didn't care that much.
"Although I'm not saying that there's anything that must be done by you, but to be honest, I have my own purpose for coming here, and I need your cooperation."
"Don't worry, what you have to do is very simple. Just follow my instructions. I won't put your life in danger."
Sakura sighed, placed the prepared coffee in front of Zhixing, and then reluctantly walked to the table of regular customers.
Seeing the normal actions of the boss, the paper shop owner knew that the other party was probably trying to persuade the customers to leave, so he did not pay attention to the conversation over there, but took this time to think about the next steps.
As early as when he first entered this world, Zhixing had considered pulling Boss Sakura into the temple, and it would be best if she could awaken her personality mask.
After all, this is a ready-made solution that can be used to verify whether the app you infect can gain power.
Whether it is because of Boss Sakura's status in Amamiya Ren's community that he will not die, or because of his role as a guardian, knowing the truth will not have much impact on the members of the Phantom Thieves.
Sakura Sojiro is a good character to use for testing.
Now, after watching the anime yesterday, the paper company came up with the idea of a universal app, and they needed Boss Sakura to verify it even more. So they didn't wait for Amamiya Ren to come, but wanted to conduct the experiment themselves.
But the only point that makes Zhixing feel conflicted is whether he needs to go directly to Futaba's palace.
In order to turn someone into a phantom thief, two prerequisites are required.
One is that the master of the hall is hostile to you, and the shadow of the impression space will also be hostile.
The other is to have the will, or desire, to resist injustice.
Judging from the fact that Boss Sakura chose to take in Futaba as her adopted daughter and agreed to a regular customer's request to be Amamiya Ren's guardian, Boss Sakura is willing to take a proactive attitude towards unfair situations.
What's more, Zhixing also has two pieces of information: the truth about Futaba's mother's death and Futaba's safety, which can help Boss Sakura get into the situation better.
But the question is, will Futaba become hostile towards Boss Sakura?
If Kazuyo remembers correctly, when Futaba commissioned the Phantom Thieves to steal her heart, she also made it impossible for the protagonists to become Phantom Thieves.
Even the protagonists who have mastered the power cannot transform freely, so isn't Boss Sakura, who has not mastered the power, no different from usual?
However, if the coordinates of other palaces are used, it will be affected because the distance from the palace is too far.
Even the Impression Space will only show its hostile transformation when you reach the subway entrance.
"Sure enough, only that coordinate can be used."
Zhixing didn't touch the coffee in front of him, but turned around and looked at Boss Sakura who was holding the back of his head and seeing off the customers, then subconsciously looked at the tops around him.
"So, what do you want me to do? First of all, don't have high expectations of my abilities. After all, I'm already at this age, and any talent I might have has long been buried."
Boss Sakura turned the sign at the door of the store to indicate that the store was closed, then returned to the store and looked at the paper shop.
Zhixing made a hushing gesture with his hand, pointed to the stairs leading to the second floor, and then turned and walked towards the current residence of Amamiya Ren.
Seeing this, Boss Sakura had no choice but to follow behind the paper shop. He subconsciously glanced at the untouched coffee and came to the attic on the second floor.
"Kinjo Junya, bank, Shibuya."
Zhixing saw Boss Sakura going upstairs and was only a few steps away from him, so he spoke into his phone without saying a word and called out the corresponding coordinates.
"Start navigation..."
The familiar red and black ripples spread out.
When the ripples disappeared, Zhi Xing immediately looked towards where Boss Sakura was.
"What happened just now?"
Boss Sakura looked around in surprise, only to find that the attic, which was filled with various daily necessities just a second ago, seemed to have been wiped out in an instant after the red and black waves rolled by, leaving only blank walls and old wooden floors in their place.
Zhi Xing breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his first step was not a problem, and then asked Boss Sakura:
"You should have your cell phone with you, right? Take it out and let me see."
As he spoke, Paper Line began to walk down the stairs, motioning for Boss Sakura to follow.
Boss Sakura looked at the paper shop's ups and downs in confusion, then looked at the attic which had become an empty room. The first thought that came to her mind was:
That guy named Yuuji Sakai deliberately stole my things in front of me. Was he trying to show off his superpowers? How should I explain this to that brat when he comes back?
Thinking in his heart, Boss Sakura did not stop his actions, but took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and responded while continuing to follow the footsteps of the paper line:
"I have my phone with me, but it only has the contact information of my regular customers. It's not something I can use to extort money from."
"Dingling~"
The paper shop opened the door gently, looked at the ATM and the flying banknotes outside, nodded with satisfaction, and then turned back to Sakura and said:
"Welcome to the world of cognition."
"I will help you awaken the power that can help Futaba, and familiarize you with how to use this power."
Boss Sakura looked in shock at the human being who had turned into an ATM machine and then turned back in disbelief to look at the familiar layout of her coffee shop and the paper shop which also remained in its original state.
Finally, he took a deep breath, looked at the paper and said with no more ease:
"Really? I'm suddenly exposed to these things, even though I'm not getting any younger."
"Please tell me the specific method. If it is for Futaba, I am willing to pay any price."
"Hmm? There's no sound anymore, but is this noise... coming upstairs?"
After I realized the mod of Zhixing last night, I rushed to watch these two dramas, a total of 12+24 episodes.
Futaba had a general understanding of the situation of the paper company.
But Futaba didn't think that all of Paper Line's abilities had been mastered.
Because Futaba had entered the witch's barrier before, she found that it was not the witch that appeared in the 12 episodes of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica".
I can't help but think of the ending where it was obvious there would be a second season, but due to poor sales, it was postponed indefinitely.
The same thing happened in "Shakugan no Shana", which only had 24 episodes.
Many of the settings came to an abrupt end before they had a chance to be explained.
Therefore, Futaba could easily guess that this was probably because there was only the first part here, and the subsequent extensions were not synchronized to this world.
It's more like there's only one season despite the obviously good quality, and there's very little discussion online about it. It seems like this is just an easter egg that only appears in the Paperwalk mod.
But Futaba still learned a lot from this.
"A witch who lost her name, and a witch's kiss that brings despair?"
"No wonder you came to me right away. I'm afraid you wanted to test your added power on me."
"Obviously, the guy who made the mod also guessed that a toy would be able to use the witch's power on me, so I'm suffering so much that I have to rely on players to alleviate this situation?"
"If that's the case, then similar to the suspension bridge effect, over time, I feel that only around players can I feel safe and relaxed."
Faced with this man-made conspiracy, Futaba couldn't think of any way to restrain it, but fortunately, Futaba no longer had to think about the Witch's Kiss.
"He must have received the game notification, but why did he suddenly come here to cancel the effects of his Witch's Kiss?"
After reading the settings of the two anime series, Futaba was quite puzzled about this matter. However, with the sound of Kazuo coming from the computer, Futaba, who stayed up late to catch up on the anime, woke up from her lazy sleep and noticed Kazuo in the coffee shop.
"Could it be! Not good!"
When Futaba heard Jixing's words that he wanted to be alone with Sakura Sojiro, she immediately thought of another power that Jixing possessed.
The treasure that Jixing carries is the Zero Hour Lost Child, a treasure from "Shakugan no Shana". This is an immortal plug-in that can restore the body to full status at 0 o'clock, or a plug-in that restores the ability to move, and it is likely to have a power that comes with it.
The power of existence!
Compared to the powers in other anime, the power of existence can be edited and cast at will like magic, and all attributes can be changed, but it also has an ability unique to the power of existence.
Devour and replace the other's existence.
Devouring existence can make all past and present ways of proving the existence of this person disappear, including past photos, texts, dishes, beds and all other related evidence. No one will remember them except those who also possess the power of existence.
And the other ability is the ability that makes Futaba feel uneasy.
Substitute existence can transform oneself into the person in the eyes of others by holding the other person's power of existence, and both memory and evidence will be automatically corrected, allowing the person who holds the power of existence to live in other people's homes without any impact, without having to select gender and age, just like a super high school level fraudster.
As the protagonist of this game world, Amamiya Renzo is the guardian of Shibuya, and Sakura Futaba is the father in many ways.
Sakura Sojiro is obviously an indispensable character closely related to the main characters.
As for mods that can restore movement power, Futaba can think of many of them just by thinking about it. There is really no need to add a mod with such a large limitation that can only be triggered at 0 points.
Therefore, Futaba felt that since the player could take medicine to replenish his blood, it was obvious that he chose the Zero Hour Lost Child as a treasure not for the purpose of restoring his body.
I'm afraid they are attracted by the power of existence, which can directly replace the other main characters.
"No wonder even though they're clearly players, there's someone who seems to be the protagonist no matter how you look at it. It turns out this is a fan game where they can replace whoever they want!"
"This setting is much more convenient and direct than just being able to become the protagonist."
Realizing this, Futaba instinctively wanted to go to the coffee shop to stop this from happening.
But just as Futaba stood up, she stopped herself.
Because the location from the Paper Bank No. 3 mobile phone disappeared.
Also disappearing was the positioning signal that he had secretly installed on Sakura Sojiro's mobile phone.
This situation obviously does not conform to the possession of a body by the power of existence. Instead, it is more like entering a witch's barrier, or the world where the Phantom Thieves fight.
Futaba reorganized her thoughts and suddenly realized that she seemed to have overlooked a detail.
That is, after Sakura Sojiro sent the customers away, he first walked into the store and asked loudly. From the question heard at that time, it was obvious that the paper merchant did not follow him.
But after that there was no more conversation, only the sound of two people walking up the stairs.
Why did you suddenly stop talking? Why did you suddenly want to go upstairs?
Futaba reacted as she looked at the screen in front of her.
This is because he knew that he could monitor what was happening in the coffee shop, so he deliberately hid it from me.
From this perspective, at least he won't be openly replacing his nominal father.
Futaba breathed a sigh of relief, but then new questions popped up in her mind.
"You knew I could monitor you, yet you still came straight to my house. And you kept it secret from me at the most important moment. Why is that?"
As a self-taught hacker, Futaba quickly thought of an answer and looked at his mobile phone placed aside, looking at the app that appeared on his phone since Amamiya Ren came to his door to show his power.
"Is it to keep the coordinates from me?"
Looking at the different world navigation app with only one page and no other unnecessary functions, Futaba thought of the information she had learned since she started monitoring the Phantom Thieves and made a decision in her heart.
