Aegis reacted quickly, then put his arm around Yue Yu Yukari's waist before she could react, and started off quickly to overtake Kirijo Mitsuru.

"I will be responsible for clearing the way and try to avoid fighting!"

"Follow me closely." Aegis instructed Kirijo Mitsuru.

Although Aegis tried his best, he still couldn't escape from the shadow that had been strengthened countless times.

Of course, the main reason is that there are two people around her who are holding her back.

Otherwise, with Aegis's current mobility, if she concentrated on escaping, these shadows would not be able to catch up with her at all.

"Ha, hahahaha...Senior Mitsuru, it looks like we are really in trouble this time." Yue Yu Yukari looked at Isis, who had not achieved any success, and laughed dryly with some despair.

"Yukari, don't give up hope yet." Although Kirijo Mitsuru's eyes were filled with sadness, she was still trying to cheer up and encourage Yue Yukari.

"One minute ago, I sent out distress signals to all the people in my address book who could be called for help." Aegis said as he blocked the shadows' direct attack on Yue Yukari and Kirijo Mitsuru's bodies. "Even if we can't wait for timely rescue, after my functions stop, my memory will retain all the information I collected during this process."

"Can the information be passed on? Then our deaths won't be in vain this time." Yue Yu Youjiali said with a smile.

……

[“Taichi, a distress signal has been received.”]

Just as Taiyi was enjoying the hot spring water, Aix suddenly reminded him in his mind.

Since Aix had brought it up on his own initiative, Taiyi naturally had no objection.

Give up the enjoyment and get ready to work!

"Where did the distress signal come from, what type of danger we encountered, and how we're going to enter this time." Taiyi casually put on his bathrobe, not caring whether he was still wet, and directly opened the safe, took out his cell phone and asked.

"The source is a different dimension very similar to the temple? Or is it the subspace? The type of encounter is a strengthened shadow. Prepare to use the power of the personality mask first!" Aix replied, "Taichi, prepare the personality mask first. I have successfully cracked the channel of the distress signal. Next, I will use digitization to force my way in!"

"Achilles——!" Taichi activated the personality mask directly, and with the divine power covering every part of his body, wrapping his body inside and out with "armor", he activated the "Ex".

The tearing sensation caused Taiyi's limbs to twitch unnaturally. The next moment, Taiyi's entire body turned into countless '0's and '1's that poured into the space crack.

Chapter 104: Aegis: Even if I am a robot, I don’t want to be scrapped

"Aegis!" Looking at Aegis that stopped in front of him after rolling for more than ten times, Yue Yu, who had already realized that he was about to lose strength, forcibly controlled his uncontrollable limbs and moved closer to Aegis by Jiali.

"The functional damage rate... is 65 percent." Aegis' voice was a bit broken, and sometimes even had abnormal emphasis and staccato, but she still tried to use her arms with damaged simulated skin and exposed internal electronic parts to prop up her body and climb up from the ground. "It is estimated that... another 7%... will completely lose the ability to fight."

"Aegis, use all of your remaining functions to protect your memory device." After being defeated by the shadow, the equally exhausted Kirijo Mitsuru retreated to Aegis and Takeha Yukari and gave orders to Aegis.

"The memory has been secured... Aegis, the system cannot crash yet." Aegis clenched his fists unwillingly, "We haven't found... a way to save him yet."

"Aegis..." A trace of sadness flashed across Yue Yuyugali's face.

"Maybe, when we close our eyes and then open them again, we will be able to see him appear in front of us again." Kirijo Mitsuru pulled the corners of her mouth, but she really couldn't show any smile.

"Maybe they'll complain that they found him too late."

The shadow's scissor hands were already raised high, aiming at the outermost Kirijo Mitsuru and slashing down.

"Sister Mitsuru!" Yue Yu Yukari called out Kirijo Mitsuru's name with her eyes closed tightly.

She couldn't bear to see the Kirijo Mitsuru, whom she respected, turning into pieces before her eyes.

So she chose to close her eyes.

But there was no sound of flesh being cut and blood splattering.

What was heard instead was the harsh sound of weapons colliding.

"It's you!" Aegis's somewhat unbelievable voice made Yue Yuyoujiali open her eyes cautiously.

A boy with a friendly look from behind was facing the three people, struggling with the shadow.

"Aegis? Is he someone you know?" Kirijo Mitsuru looked at Aegis with some doubt and asked.

"Member of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, 'Knight'." Aegis called out Taichi's code name.

Yue Yuyou Jiali, who was still flipping through her memories and wondering who this divine soldier from heaven was, was stunned when she heard this, then suddenly realized.

"I said he looked familiar! He just changed his clothes and hairstyle, so I didn't realize his identity at first!" Yue Yuyou Jiali tried to make excuses for herself.

"Knight..." Kirijo Mitsuru looked at Taichi in surprise, "Why is he here? And he just happened to save us at the most critical moment."

"It was a distress signal I sent out," Aegis replied. "One was sent to the Phantom Thieves of the Heart, but it was intercepted halfway... It should have been done by 'Knight'."

"Yes, I am right." Taiyi nodded and replied, "After all, some things have happened in the Phantom Thieves, and some members are under surveillance now."

With a sudden force, Taiyi blocked the shadow and swept the spear in his hand.

The shadow was swept away by Taiyi's powerful force.

"How powerful!" Seeing that the shadow that the three people combined could only repel a few steps was swept away by Taiyi's gun, Yue Yuyou Jiali was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.

"This guy seems to be becoming very troublesome." Taiyi raised his eyebrows and looked at the shadow that was swept away by him in surprise.

According to his estimation, this shot should be able to completely eliminate the shadow.

The result was that he was just swept away.

Taichi put his finger to his lips and whistled to call for the chariot.

"Your condition is not suitable for staying here for a long time. Let's leave here and find a safe place." As the person who summoned the chariot, Taiyi made room in the chariot.

After all, both Yue Yukari and Kirijo Mitsuru were so exhausted that their limbs were twitching involuntarily.

Aegis' limbs were damaged and his movements were so stiff that he felt like he was rusted.

Under the guidance of Kirijo Mitsuru, Taichi drove the chariot out of the maze of "shadow time" and returned to the real world with the three of them.

"Hey? Why is this chariot still there now that we're back in the real world?" Yue Yuyou Jiali, who had already prepared herself mentally for the impact of the landing, murmured in astonishment as she looked at the chariot under her butt and the flying horse in front of her.

"Can all members of your Phantom Thieves of Hearts interfere with the power of their personality masks into the real world, or are you the only one who can do it?" Kirijo Mitsuru asked Taichi who was standing on the steps outside the carriage.

"I'm alone now." Taiyi replied, and pointedly said, "But we haven't faced the final boss yet."

"Compared to these problems, I think the most urgent thing now is to return to your base as soon as possible." Taiyi pointed at Aegis in Yue Yujiali's arms and reminded, "You just consumed too much physical strength, but her functions can't last too long."

"Now please show me the direction to go."

"Well, please!" Kirijo Mitsuru's expression tightened, and after looking around, she raised her hand and pointed to the southwest, "Please take us in that direction."

"The approximate distance is..."

The base that Kirijo Mitsuru mentioned is a building without a sign.

From the outside of the building, it looks like a temporarily unused office building.

But the perimeter was heavily surrounded by barbed wire, and signs saying "Private Territory" were posted everywhere.

Surveillance cameras can be seen everywhere inside the barbed wire.

After dispersing the chariots, Taichi supported Yueha Yukari and Kirijo Mitsuru with his two hands, while Aegis was carried on Taichi's back, and was held up by Kirijo Mitsuru and Yueha Yukari together.

The three of them used Taiyi as a support, supported each other, and entered the interior of the building under Taiyi's guidance.

"Go to the elevator." Kirijo Mitsuru reminded, pointing to the corner on the west side of the building.

When the elevator door opened, the neat interior environment formed a sharp contrast with the dirty and messy environment outside.

"The retina of any one of us, Yukari, or Aegis, will do." Kirijo Mitsuru reminded, "Move closer to the camera."

With the sound of a "lock" being opened, the original floor button was pushed directly downwards, and a new button with a green glow appeared from the upper level.

"In my trouser pocket." Kirijo Mitsuru said softly, "Use my ID card to activate the button that goes directly to the inside of the base."

Taiyi took action without hesitation.

Kirijo Mitsuru's body instantly straightened.

She likes to wear close-fitting clothes.

Taiyi's touch made Kirijo Mitsuru, who already had little strength, so refreshed that her legs went weak and she almost fell down.

Chapter 105: I just made a bold guess

Kirijo Mitsuru hung her head and wanted to die.

When Taiyi took out her identity card from her trouser pocket, she couldn't help but moan because she was too transparent.

Yue Yu felt that she would never forget the look in Jiali's eyes at that time.

Fortunately, Aegis didn't know much about this matter, otherwise she might have completely lost the strength to continue walking.

"We're here. Which way should we go next?" After the elevator door opened, three silver-gray corridors constructed with a special alloy appeared outside the elevator door.

Taichi slightly moved the arm that Kirijo Mitsuru was supporting, signaling her to be more alert.

"Go straight first, then turn left at the second corner."

Kirijo Mitsuru's secret base was built underground in a building.

As for how deep it was buried, Taiyi had no intention of finding out.

But Aix gave specific data at a glance.

After many twists and turns, they finally walked down one floor. Under the guidance of Kirijo Mitsuru, Taiyi and his companions stopped in front of a hexagonal door.

"This is the maintenance room of Aegis." Kirijo Mitsuru introduced, "It is equipped with various parts suitable for Aegis, as well as simple auxiliary intelligence." After Kirijo Mitsuru opened the hexagonal door, she introduced it to Taichi and Yue Yu Yukari.

Aegis knew this place.

"Well, I'd like to say it... Fortunately, the lights here are bright." She shrank her neck timidly. Looking at the various artificial limbs on the shelves in the room, Yue Yuyoukari wanted to close her eyes and replace Aegis to lie on Knight's back.

She has little resistance to supernatural and horror stuff.

The visual impact of the large collection of Aegis' spare parts is a bit too much.

No wonder Yue Yuyoujiali wanted to escape from reality.

If Taiyi wasn't insensitive to Western-style terror, he could now perform his magical skill of sleeping soundly and falling asleep as soon as he lay down.

To be honest, being there and seeing with your own eyes a robot that is more than 80% similar to a real person having its damaged parts disassembled and then having new spare parts installed can have quite a big impact on a person's cognition.

Anyway, when Aegis' functions recovered to 80 or 90 percent, Yue Yuyoujiali finally couldn't help rolling her eyes and fell asleep.

"She couldn't hold on any longer and fainted from exhaustion." Kirijo Mitsuru even praised her.

"No, she was simply frightened and fainted." Taiyi gently rubbed Yue Yu Yujiali's eyelids with his fingers, looked at her rolled-up eyes, shook his head and replied.

"...Well, I also find it a bit creepy." Kirijo Mitsuru smiled awkwardly.

……

"The functions are fully restored, and we have confirmed that there is no missing information." The fully restored Aegis came to the side of Kirijo Mitsuru and whispered, "What happened to Yue Yukari? Was she so tired that she fell asleep?"

"No, she was simply frightened by the scene of your reassembly." Taiyi shrugged and stated the fact.

"Is that so... It seems we need to increase Yue Yukari's ability to withstand Western-style terror." Aegis said coldly, words that made Kirijo Mitsuru shiver all over.

In line with the will of a Taoist monk who would rather die than let his friend die, Kirijo Mitsuru remained silent throughout the whole process.

"President, do you want to copy the contents stored in my memory to the computer?" Aegis asked, staring straight at Kirijo Mitsuru.

Although Aegis had long since gotten used to being looked at strangely, he still felt a little sad when his friends, whom he admired, looked at him that way.

"Copy it." Kirijo Mitsuru nodded heavily. "We need to find out the cause of the shadow's massive increase in strength and the scope of this new change from the limited information we have."

"Knight, I know that your Phantom Thieves of Hearts are having a hard time right now, but if possible, I hope you can join our action."

"The shadows have greatly strengthened. I believe this is not a one-time thing." Kirijo Mitsuru's face was extremely serious. "It is very likely that this is an important clue about which will prevail between the real world and the world where the shadows live."

"I'll notify others and let everyone pay attention." Taiyi nodded and replied.

"If possible, can Aegis give me a copy of what she copied?"

"Of course." Aegis, who had already completed the copying and uploading work, nodded and replied, "If one more person can see it, then he will have a greater chance of coming back."

Everything, for his return!

Aegis would do anything for this.

Well, I think Elizabeth, whose whereabouts are still unknown, should feel the same way.

……

"Come to think of it, although I know your code name, I still don't know your name." When the medical team arrived and took her and Yukari Yue to the hospital bed, Kirijo Mitsuru suddenly asked Taichi.
