Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

A girl who stayed with three generations of protagonists until the very end.

"Please don't disturb my inspection work." Aegis looked at Yue Yuyu Jiali expressionlessly and reminded her, "It won't be long before the police will land on this uninhabited island. We don't have much time."

"Senior Yukari, Senior Aegis, thank you both so much." After adjusting his mentality, Naoto Shiraishi thanked the two seniors.

"What trouble? There are not many people like us who can use the power of personality masks in this world. If we don't help each other, sooner or later we will lose to those hateful 'shadows'." Yue Yujia said firmly, "However, the person who carried out the act of crippling people is absolutely unforgivable. If caught, just strangle him!"

"What about the Phantom Thieves of Hearts?" Shirakawa Naoto really wanted to hear what his seniors thought about the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.

"The Phantom Thieves of Hearts..." Yue Yukari scratched her cheek in confusion. "To be honest, I do feel that what they did is very satisfying... but when I think about the fact that they can use the power of personality masks to change other people's minds, I can't help but feel goosebumps on my back."

"If one day, the Phantom Thieves of Hearts also become evil like the practitioners of the cripple transformation, the harm will be too great."

"So if you want to know from me what I think of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, then I can only say... I am not optimistic about it."

"So, what does the Kirijo Group think?" Bai Zhong Naoto continued to ask.

"Although we are also secretly investigating the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, we prefer friendly exchanges at the moment." Yue Yukari replied, "After all, the Phantom Thieves of Hearts should not have changed. So if we win them over before they change, we will have a few more companions to fight side by side."

"Mitsuru-sama is even planning to open a new department because of this."

"It's detected." Just as the topic between Bai Zhongzhidou and Yue Yujiali was getting more and more off topic, Aegis suddenly said, "There are indeed fluctuations here that are similar to the shadow time."

Bai Zhong Zhidou and Yue Yu Yujiali looked serious and came over immediately.

"Aegis, can you find a way to enter this shadow time?" Yue Yu asked by Jiali.

"I can't. It's a new type of entry and exit method. There is no relevant data in my database at the moment." Aegis shook his head and replied.

"We still need to find the associated personality mask user." Yue Yujia scratched her head and looked at Bai Zhongzhidou, "What should we do? Should we let Aegis track down the whereabouts of the sniper now?"

"Is it okay?" Bai Zhong Naoto looked at Aegis and asked.

"We have enough energy reserves to conduct a large-scale search," Aegis nodded and replied, "but we don't have enough time. Before I finish searching the entire uninhabited island, the police speedboat will land first. We may be stuck on the uninhabited island."

"We need to contact the police..." Yue Yujiali's face was full of resistance. "If it was Senior Mingyan, it would be easy to say, but the area where this uninhabited island is located is not Senior Mingyan's work area."

"There's no time to hesitate." Bai Zhongzhidou nodded to Aegis, "Please ask Aegis-senpai to investigate."

"Leave the police to me for now."

"Oh, come to think of it, Naoto-chan has a good relationship with the police, right?" Yue Yu Yujia looked at Bai Zhong Naoto and asked.

"I can't say I'm very good." Bai Zhongzhidou shook his head and replied, "I just helped the police solve some cases."

"Looking at my contribution, the police should give me some face."

After receiving accurate instructions, Aegis pushed open the window beside him and jumped out.

She has flying equipment on her body.

……

Not long after, Aegis returned.

"We have discovered that a speedboat without any registration mark is rapidly leaving the area where the uninhabited island is located," Aegis said.

"Not logged in?" Bai Zhongzhidou was stunned for a moment, then his face turned shocked, "Oh no! They are leaving!"

"Senior Aegis, can you carry me and chase after him?"

"I suggest that if the enemy is armed, it would be better for me to pursue them alone." Aegis responded, "I have a weapon system on my body."

"We cannot launch armed struggle without authorization before we have identified the enemy and ourselves," Yue Yuyou Jiali reminded.

"You should still take Naoto-chan with you. She should be able to tell the difference...but if the other side attacks, you need to take Naoto back to a safe area before you can fight back."

Aegis nodded, then walked in front of Bai Zhongzhidou, turned around and half squatted down.

"Carrying it on my back will make it easier for me to intercept the opponent's attack."

……

"An unidentified flying object is approaching quickly!"

Just as Taiyi was lying on the sofa enjoying a cold drink, a scream was heard from the cab.

Immediately afterwards, Hayasaka Ai walked out of the cockpit holding a ladies' pistol.

"Master Taiichi, it looks like we are being tracked by a flying unit."

"Go out and take a look." Taiyi put the cold drink on the table, waved his hand, and the mask of 'Achilles' appeared on his face.

After being prepared to counterattack at any time, Taichi took Hayasaka Ai out of the cabin.

When the shape of the UFO appeared before her eyes, Hayasaka Ai was stunned, and the hand holding the ladies' pistol was shaking.

"Mechanical cyborg?"

"It's a humanoid weapon." Taichi looked at Aegis, who was carrying Bai Zhong Naoto, with interest. He patted Hayasaka Ai's shoulder and reminded her, "Put the pistol back. The opponent's firepower is not something you can deal with with a small pistol."

"Hmm... let me think, what should I call you... ah, sorry, it's been so long, I can't remember clearly." Taiyi pressed his nose, then looked up at the humanoid weapon floating above the speedboat, relatively still with the speedboat, "So, the two seniors caught up with us because of something?"

Chapter 38: Tong Tiao's Position

"Are you the snipers on the island?" Shiraishi Naoto climbed onto Aegis's shoulders, tilted his head from behind her and looked at Taichi and Hayasaka Ai and asked.

"Also, what does senior mean?"

"Sniper? Oh, you mean the one about sniping Goro Akechi." Taichi nodded in understanding, "Yes, it was me."

"As for the seniors... After all, both of you became Personality Users several years earlier than me, so isn't it natural for you to call me seniors?"

"I am a member of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, codenamed 'knight'."

"As for Goro Akechi... I believe Detective Shirakari should have noticed something." Taichi said, looking at Shirakari Naoto's revealed face.

Taiyi's impression of her is basically that of Baek Jong Naoto with short hair. When she grew her hair long, Taiyi really didn't dare to recognize her.

"Disabled... Is Goro Akechi related to those disabled incidents?" Shiraishi Naoto narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Taichi.

"I only need to say one thing." Taichi raised a finger, "Akechi Goro is the illegitimate son of Shido Masayoshi."

The moment he got this answer, the last piece of the puzzle of the "disabled person incident" in Bai Zhongzhidou's mind was successfully assembled.

There is no other reason, it's just that the tendency of turning people into useless people is too serious.

Shi Tong Zhengyi was too lazy to even throw a smoke bomb.

So much so that any detective with a sound mind who can build a network of connections between the victims of the disability incident will find that there is always a Shido Zhengyi among the beneficiaries behind it.

And then there's the fact that Goro Akechi, who possesses the power of the personality mask, is the father of the beneficiary, Shido Masayoshi...

If this had not been verified yet, Bai Zhongzhidou would have wanted to shout "Case solved" right now.

“By the way, if you don’t mind, can you give me a contact method?” Taichi looked up at Aegis and Shirakari Naoto in mid-air and said, “Perhaps the Phantom Thieves of Hearts will need your help in the future.”

After thinking for a moment, Baekjong Naoto gave Taiyi the contact information of his private email address.

……

"In this world, there are so many people involved in unexpected mysterious events." Looking at the backs of Aegis and Shirakari Naoto leaving, Hayasaka Ai said with emotion, "I can meet so many people every time I go out."

Let’s not talk about Taichi and Goro Akechi for now.

Out of nowhere, there appeared another person named Naoto Hakubane and a flying robot... Oh, humanoid weapon, this term sounds even worse.

"So, don't be so self-righteous as to think that the world has no secrets in front of you." Taiyi curled his lips and said, "It's definitely not a bad thing to always be humble, cautious and vigilant."

"Even if people would mistake it for paranoia."

"I know this very well." Hayasaka Ai nodded and replied, "However, Master Taiichi seems to know a lot of secret information. If you don't mind, could you tell me a little?"

"I do mind it. You'd better give up the idea of trying to get information from me."

Taichi said this and ignored Hayasaka Ai. He turned back to the cabin, collapsed on the sofa again and started fiddling with his phone.

He had to summarize the situation here and share it with his friends in the Phantom Thief group.

Ryuji Sakamoto: So, there are actually many people who have awakened their personality masks?

Naruto Taichi: It’s not a lot, but it’s not as little as you first thought.

Amamiya Ren: Although they are all fighting against shadows, the battle locations are different.

Shin Niijima: The labyrinth... late night TV... and then the impression space and hall where we fought.

Yusuke Kitagawa: Although we belong to the same secretive industry, our title sounds like a villain force.

Sakura Futaba: After all, it’s the Phantom Thieves.

Amamiya Ren: Morgana asked if the other party would agree to join us in entering the palace to conduct the raid.

Taichi Naruto: It’s not clear yet, but there should be a possibility of cooperation in dealing with Shido Masayoshi.

Yukinoshita Yukino: Is the other party trustworthy?

Taichi Naruto: This is our first contact, so how can we be credible? At most, we may be able to reach agreement on interests in some aspects.

Naruto Taichi: One day, the enemy might decide that the nature of our Phantom Thieves' fighting style makes us too dangerous and attack us.

Amamiya Ren: Then, could you, Taichi, take charge of the issue of coming into contact with other personality masks?

Naruto Taichi: Me? Forget it. I have all sorts of things to do here, so it's not convenient for me to keep in touch. I recommend that Niijima be in charge of contacting other organizations that use personality masks.

Shinjima: Eh? Me?

Sakamoto Ryuji: Eh? Why Niijima?

Yusuke Kitagawa: Because Niijima looks the most serious among us... and she's probably the smartest among us besides Yukinoshita.

Yukinoshita Yukino: I'm short and I'm going to pick the tallest one, so Niijima is the only one who can do the job. In fact, if Yui wasn't such a loose-lipped kid who easily leaked some secrets, I'd be more optimistic about her communication skills.

Yuigahama Yui: Is Xiaoxue praising me or insulting me?

Ryuji Sakamoto: Okay, then I’ll recommend Niijima as well.

Sakura Futaba: I recommend Sister Niijima.

Amamiya Ren: Morgana also voted for Niijima, so this way he was passed unanimously as the student council president.

Shinjima: ...I will try my best!

……

Although Baek Jong Naoto has also contacted his classmates.

But everyone is in their own emergency situations right now, and not many people have time to come and help.

Although the Shadow Patrol is wealthy, they do not have many people available for related matters.

The only one who can cooperate with Bai Zhongzhidou to conduct further investigation into the "disabled person incident" is Yue Yu Yukari.

Aegis had other work to do, so he set out again shortly after returning to the Kirijo Group.

"So, President Kirijo has also come out. It seems that the impact of the disability incident is wider than I thought." Bai Zhong Naoto looked at the tall and slender lady sitting next to Yue Yu Yukari and said.

"The impact of crippling itself is not that wide." Kirijo Mitsuru, who helped collect the information, frowned slightly, "But the person who used crippling to achieve his ulterior motives made me take action myself."

"Shitong Zhengyi is the most famous among the cabinet members. In terms of support rate, it can be said that he is almost certain to win the next prime minister's seat."

"But if he really uses the power of the personality mask to eliminate dissidents... it is possible that the Kirijo Group will become a step on his ladder in the future."

Chapter 39: Kirijo Mitsuru's Choice

"By the way, I didn't expect Sister Mitsuru to buy that uninhabited island in one go." Yue Yukari looked up at Mitsuru Kirijo beside her, then sighed and said, "Although the purpose is to monitor whether Akechi Goro can still come out of the so-called 'hall', such a large amount of money will still cause a problem of tight cash flow for the Kirijo Group."

The Kirijo Group is on the decline.

This has been going on for several years.

If Kirijo Mitsuru had not decisively sold some of her assets after taking control of the Kirijo Group, the financial crisis of the Kirijo Group would have crushed Kirijo Mitsuru long ago.

Not to mention the special department 'Shadow Patrol' that was formed later.

This is a department that does not generate any income at all and is simply a money-consuming department that spends money externally.

"Not bad." Kirijo Mitsuru replied calmly, "The owner of that uninhabited island happened to belong to a consortium that was friendly with the Kirijo Group. In addition, a large number of police officers broke into the island not long ago and were on high alert, so there wasn't much loss in acquiring the island."

"Compared to the threat of becoming disabled, I've made a profit by only losing some money to stop the continued disability."

Kirijo Mitsuru is a good person.

That's what Yue Yujia thinks.
