Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

"I don't know what happened after that. I had no combat ability, so I was left in the room. But the key point is that the notice letter seemed to have been picked up by someone!"

"By whom? The police?"

"I don't know, but when we came out, we didn't find the notice letter."

"Then I understand. It seems I need to plan the next step in advance."

"What? What else are you going to do?"

Futaba seemed to want to say something, but Zhixing lowered the volume after speaking, opened the other world navigation app, and then looked at the onlookers who were watching the police's actions.

I opened the app, entered the coordinates until I was almost done, then raised my phone and shouted:

"Everyone, look at me! I have an announcement to make!"

The onlookers who were originally discussing the losses in the store, the giant monster, and whether the police should be replaced by the army, immediately looked towards the paper shop.

After a brief pause, Zhi Xing generously displayed his appearance and said:

"Around December at the end of the year, the world will be plunged into a major crisis. For this reason, I need to gather young boys and girls who can be selected to sign up to save the world!"

"To prove to everyone that what I said is true, I am honored to be your tour guide this time and take you to see the scenery of this other world!"

"Everyone, bring your phones, follow my instructions, and don't fall behind! Otherwise, I won't guarantee your safety!"

When everyone heard Zhixing's words, they were a little disapproving. Some even suspected that Zhixing was scared crazy by the monster and reported it to the police within the cordon.

However, Zhixing did not need their consent. Instead, he directly clicked the OK button and said the last words to everyone present:

“Let the story begin a new chapter!”

Chapter 260 The Long 20th is Over

"Yesterday, multiple explosions occurred near Shibuya Central Street, leading to the leakage of a new type of hallucinogenic gas, causing large-scale collective hallucinations and causing great panic."

"Many businesses in the shopping street have been hospitalized for treatment due to the ingestion of large amounts of hallucinogenic gas."

"According to the police's preliminary investigation, the explosion here is very likely to have originated from a restaurant that was the most severely damaged.

Seeing the news that was not consistent with the facts, neither of the two people present was surprised. Instead, they started a conversation about the news:

"I heard that you went to the scene to see it before you came here?"

"Hmm, it's a pretty big mark. We've had someone pull up a sheet from the top floor to cover it up, but it probably won't be hidden for a few days."

"Should I say it's a coincidence? The group most likely to cause trouble suddenly disappeared, which bought us some time."

"Minister, their fate is still unknown. In this situation, it can't be considered lucky."

Niijima Ya's gaze shifted from the TV projection in the office to the face of the Mediterranean old man sitting nearby with the title of Special Investigation Department Director written on his face.

The Special Investigation Director saw that Niijima Sae was being fussy and immediately changed the subject:

"At least the chances of survival are much higher than being attacked by a monster. You should know from having been to the scene that this is not a case our Special Investigation Department should be handling."

"That may be true, but when you see such a dangerous being, it's always safer to understand their logic. Or does the Minister have any relevant clues?"

"How could that be? I just learned about this case not long ago. I don't know more information than you who have been to the scene."

The minister watched the news begin to list this incident with the recent cases and said meaningfully:

"But as a member of the Special Investigation Department, I still have to give you a piece of advice."

"If you take it too seriously, it's actually unsafe. This is the secret method I used to outlast others and become a minister."

"I understand. Thank you for the designation, Minister."

Sae Niijima bowed to the minister in a businesslike manner, then left the office with the document authorizing the investigation.

Watching Niijima Sae walk out of the office, the Special Investigation Director looked at the projected news again. Looking at the photos that had been screened and specially released to serve as the explosion scene, his mood was far from as relaxed as he had shown in front of Niijima Sae.

"Is this kind of thing even possible? It seems that little brat has a trick up his sleeve."

The boy who was called a brat by the special investigation director sneezed at this moment, and then looked at Sae Niijima who came out of the director's office with some embarrassment.

"It should be school time now, why did you come all the way here?"

"Knowing that something like this was happening nearby, how could I possibly still be in the mood to go to school?"

"Oh? It seems you have a strong intelligence ability. When the incident happened, it was already time for students to go out, but you were able to show up here so early in the morning. You are indeed a high school detective."

Sae Niijima stopped and looked at the high school detective in front of him with a fake smile on his face - Goro Akechi.

As one of the rare talents who can directly provide assistance during the special search process, although he was not invited by Niijima Sae this time, he didn't mind staying for a few more minutes to communicate with him.

"Well, that intelligence network thing is a bit exaggerated. I just had a detective instinct and felt that something was wrong, so I came here to check it out. In fact, I only found out what happened after seeing the news just now."

"Intuition? Indeed, your intuition is often more accurate than reasoning."

"Are you praising me or insulting me, Miss Sae?"

"I'm complimenting you, you're welcome."

Akechi Goro shook his head, then looked at the document in Niijima Sae's hand and asked:

"Is this the consent form for the investigation?"

"Look, do you want to come along? You look like you're really interested in this."

"That's exactly what I wanted. It just so happens that there haven't been any events I can participate in lately, so my popularity has dropped a bit."

"Then I'll be looking forward to your performance, Mr. Detective who skipped class."

"Now that you have a proper reason, it won't count as skipping classes. I'll leave the school to you, Ms. Sae."

Goro Akechi looked at Niijima Sae, the fast-moving but incompetent investigator, and nodded, motioning for him to follow.

She opened her eyes slightly, but her gaze was not focused on Sae Niijima, but on the report in the other's hand.

A strange man with a strange mask? He looks much more powerful than I imagined. No wonder that old man suddenly came to me.

If I can subdue this mask, then can I also use power in reality?

"What's wrong? Time waits for no one. We have to get to the scene as soon as possible."

"No, nothing, let's go."

At the same time, boss Sakura, who was far away in the coffee shop, had just finished watching the morning news on TV.

Listening to the customers discussing this hot news, especially because it is located on Shibuya Central Street, which is neither far nor near from here, and the customers who come to the coffee shop are all people nearby.

Therefore, the discussion is very high.

But Mr. Sakura, who in the past would have participated in the guests' discussions to maintain social relationships, now felt that there was an invisible barrier between himself and the people around him, as if they were from two different worlds.

But even though it feels like they are from two different worlds, Boss Sakura is not alone.

Therefore, driven by the desire to communicate that could not be expressed, Boss Sakura took out her cell phone and sent a message to Amamiya Ren who was currently in class.

"There was information about that person in the news just now."

"You said before that he returned to the scene of the incident, right?"

"It seems like something happened to everyone there."

"Although he was hospitalized due to poisoning, it shouldn't be poison gas, right?"

As soon as Boss Sakura sent the message, she took out her phone to check it. She glanced at the teacher standing on the podium writing on the blackboard and immediately replied:

"Well, although it's a little different from our power, the problem has been solved. There shouldn't be any more accidents."

""

Boss Sakura was a little surprised when she received the reply, but she quickly realized that now was not the time to talk about this, and immediately stopped her desire to know more.

"Really? If everyone is like this, I can't keep up with the times."

"But studying hard is still very useful. Even if it's to hide your identity, you still need to study hard. Don't neglect your studies just because you have this kind of power. You can't be above the law with your own strength."

Seeing that the topic was obviously started by the other party, but turned around and talked about herself, Amamiya Ren couldn't help but shook her head, and then she was immediately noticed by the teacher and called on to answer the question.

But Amamiya Ren, who is far from having a zero-level panel, is obviously able to handle the difficulty of the early school problems with ease.

He quickly answered correctly and sat down, earning the recognition of being a top student among his classmates.

Then, as if it was a pre-arranged appointment, Amamiya Ren's phone vibrated again.

When he took out his phone, he saw that it was the other person he had rescued last night, Sakura Futaba, who was still using hacking skills to contact him.

"Yesterday I checked Sakai Yuuji's mobile browsing history."

"I've discovered a truly incredible situation!!"

"So I want to confirm something with you."

Compared to the uninformed Sakura Sojiro, the information of Sakura Futaba is obviously more important and accurate.

Amamiya Ren glanced at Takamaki An who was sitting in the row in front of her, and then asked Takamaki An to help divert the teacher's attention in the small group chat, and then replied to the mysterious person Sakura Futaba:

"What do you want to confirm?"

As if she had been paying attention to Amamiya Ren's movements, Futaba quickly raised the question.

"The Phantom Thief Apps you have in your hands all dispersed from your hands, right?"

"Correct."

“Is it available to anyone?”

Amamiya Ren thought about her own experience and replied cautiously:

"Maybe you need to enter the palace to get it. After all, Mr. Sakai didn't get the Different World Navigation App several times in reality until I brought him into the palace."

"That's not right. Was that his first time entering the temple?"

Ren Amamiya was once again lost in memories and comparisons.

Because I was only thinking about the situation when I got the app, I was reminded at this time and remembered that Kazuyuki had entered Kamoshida's hall before, and it was because of his arrival that the Phantom Thieves were able to evacuate from the hall.

Amemiya Ren didn't know that Futaba had witnessed Kamigayo entering her palace, but she thought that Kamigayo had told Futaba about this, so she valued Futaba's opinion even more.

"But at that time, besides entering the Palace, the only way was to enter the Velvet Room. But everyone else I know only needed to be in the Palace to activate the power of their Persona."

"So, leaving aside Yuuji Sakai, what about the others?"

"If... I mean if..."

"If you use the power of the app to enter the palace you mentioned during class."

"So can other students also awaken their Personalities?"

Although Futaba couldn't see, Amamiya Ren still shook her head and typed a response:

"No, according to Morgana, Ryuji and the others were able to awaken their masks because they were in a very strong state of resistance at the time. This kind of emotion is not something that everyone can experience."

Futaba obviously didn't understand the power of the Phantom Thieves. She hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively:

“So, what about this app?”

Amamiya Ren was stunned for a moment, then raised her head and looked around at the classmates who were listening to the class.

After thinking carefully for a while, he replied:

"Probably... not even one."

“Ehhhhh??!”

"why?"

"Didn't you pass it on to me before?"

Seeing Futaba, who was so nervous that she revealed her identity, Amamiya Ren repeated the words from the Velvet Room verbatim:

"If you meet someone who can help you, you can give him the Different World Navigation App."

"All of this is to make you a better thief."

"Are you saying that I'm more qualified to help you than Sakai Yuuji? Why?"

"I don't know. Maybe it wasn't a subjective choice made by me, but something else."

After waiting for a while, seeing that Futaba had no new questions, Amamiya Ren asked:

"So, what's the incredible thing you discovered?"

"yesterday."

"I saw the last TV series he watched through his browsing history."
