Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

Compared to Lan Ke who was still daydreaming, Shirou Emiya felt a sudden sinking of the heart.

After finding out that 'Lianren' had been sent a warning letter by the Phantom Thieves of Heart, he decided to stop for the time being. If the 'Phantom Thieves of Heart' succeeded, then everyone would be happy and he could return to his previous life. If not, then he would 'finish the job' himself.

But he didn't walk for long before he found that he seemed to be followed?

At that time, Shirou Emiya was a little nervous. After all, this matter was not a small matter. If an unnecessary commotion was caused, it would likely affect his plan. So he planned to "scare" the person who was following him.

It was obvious that until this moment, Emiya Shirou did not think that the pursuer was targeting him specifically. After all, if Renren's bodyguard had really been targeting him, they would not have dragged it out until now.

But when the dagger was knocked back, he realized that something was wrong, and the appearance of the "Phantom Thief of Heart" made him vaguely have a bad premonition.

Could it be that I have been targeted by the other party?

After all, he originally intended to "take someone's life", which should be considered as the "twisted desire" mentioned by the other party, right?

What is more crucial is his attitude towards the 'Phantom Thief of Hearts'.

As a phantom thief who played tricks on the Neon police, it is said that until now the police have not figured out how he mysteriously appeared. How could he have been discovered by himself while being tracked?

Must be intentional!

Maybe the other person just enjoys the feeling of 'cat and mouse'!

A new thief who calls himself the 'Phantom Thief of Heart' but is actually the 'Robber of Heart' has no idea that his image has been completely demonized in the eyes of others.

Shirou Emiya didn't know what Lan Ke was thinking, so he planned to make a final struggle.

"The Phantom Thieves of Hearts? If you're not going to 'steal hearts', why are you following me?"

Because he was wearing a hood and a mask, Emiya Shirou's voice, which he had deliberately lowered, was completely distorted. In addition, at this moment, he did not have the usual honest and loyal aura at all. Instead, he exuded a sharp aura, giving people the feeling that he was like ice under the scorching sun!

So Lan Ke didn't realize that the other person was actually his acquaintance

"Of course, it's out of curiosity. I'm curious about who this guy is, or who the organization is, that has repeatedly stopped me from 'stealing hearts'..."

"?"

As Lan Ke finished speaking, Emiya Shirou's mind was filled with "?"

But he soon realized something was wrong.

"Fuck! Could it be that the Phantom Thief of Hearts mistakenly thought he was the 'murderer' of the previous attack?"

Not long ago, the 'Zeyue Group' and the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts' caused quite a big incident, not to mention that he was at the scene himself. Even though he left early for fear of trouble and did not see the subsequent events with his own eyes, he still learned a lot from other working companions.

For example, the Phantom Thieves of Hearts stole the heart of the owner of the Zeyue Group, and he was assassinated at that time. Thanks to a "high school detective", they were cleared of suspicion.

Maybe in the end, it was just a false alarm, but no matter who was made a scapegoat, he would probably be very unhappy, right?

Not to mention that the man in the bird-beak mask in front of him didn't look like someone who was easy to talk to.

Just as the words of explanation came to my lips, I stopped again.

In fact, it was very simple for him to prove himself, because he was at the scene that night, so it was impossible for him to shoot "Ze Yuezhi" from outside the building. But the problem was that once he revealed his identity, he would probably never be able to return to his original life.

There was no way he could bet his future on the character of someone who didn't even know the 'Phantom Thief'!

Things were completely stuck there, but Shirou Emiya was willing to wait, but Lan Ke was not.

After all, the 'preliminary letter' has been sent, and he still has to hurry up to complete the 'stealing of hearts', not to mention that the other party is suspected to be the mastermind behind the previous frame-up of him.

Thinking of this, Lan Ke stopped talking nonsense.

"Take off your mask and let me see who is trying to pass the blame on me!"

Faced with Lan Ke's "ultimatum", Shirou Emiya decisively raised his dagger and showed his attitude with his actions.

"In that case, I'll be——————disrespectful!"

Almost as soon as Lan Ke finished speaking, he waved his cane and rushed towards Shirou Emiya like an arrow!

'So fast! '

Looking at the 'bird-beak mask' that appeared in front of him as if by teleportation and the cane that was swung towards his shoulder, Emiya Shirou was surprised and instinctively raised his dagger to try to block.

Compared to before, the two switched offense and defense in an instant!

Then Emiya Shirou's face changed drastically, because almost at the moment the cane touched his body, he felt an irresistible force coming towards him, and he almost instinctively loosened his right hand.

"Ding~"

With a crisp sound of metal collision, the short knife spun and directly stabbed into the wall beside it, and Shirou Emiya's expression was extremely ugly.

It was not only because the gift given to him by his 'father' was treated like this, but also because the previous round of fighting made him realize the gap in strength between the two sides.

But his obsession with 'protecting his sister' made it impossible for him to give up!

Almost at the same time as the weapon in his right hand was pulled away, his left hand reached across his waist, and the matte-finished 'Glock 17' was pulled out and aimed at Lan Ke's head.

At first, Lan Ke's attention was basically focused on the handbag that the opponent was holding, which was suspected to contain a "shotgun". When he saw his opponent took out the real weapon, his muscles instinctively tensed up.

Although he was a veteran in the 'cognitive space', he had almost no experience fighting with gun-wielding opponents in the real world, and he had no idea what would happen if he was hit by a bullet.

If the opponent's gun was still in the 'Schrödinger's state' before and he had not yet used his full strength, then now it was a complete showdown!

Lan Ke lowered his head to try to avoid the shooting range of the 'Glock 17', while swinging the 'cane' he held high at his opponent. The only difference from before was that this time there were slight 'electric sparks' on the cane.

It is obvious that Lan Ke hopes to capture the other party alive and torture him to extract information.

After all, he was completely clueless about his possible enemies at the moment, so the more intelligence he had, the better.

If he gets the attacker's name, he will then follow the "network line" to catch all those guys!

Yiling Yier and the umbrella age

Although Lan Ke had the advantage before, it takes time to swing the "cane", while the "Glock 17" only requires aiming at the target and pulling the trigger.

Whoever moves faster will have the upper hand in this round!

The result of the crazy secretion of adrenaline was that his expression became a little ferocious. Even with a mask on, one could see the bulging veins on his forehead and his wide-open eyes.

And it was at this moment that Lan Ke confirmed that the eyes of the 'attacker' in front of him were indeed gleaming with gold.

Because the two were fighting in an alley, the dim environment made this change even more noticeable.

Lan Ke was obviously a little surprised. After all, although humans, especially humans in this world, have eyes of various colors, truly pure gold eyes do not exist at all, not to mention that the other person's eyes were normal before.

According to Lan Ke, this situation usually only occurs in one type of person, namely the 'Velvet Dweller' and the 'Shadow'.

What's going on with the other party?

In Lan Ke's opinion, the already mysterious attacker seemed to have an even more mysterious identity!

But even so, his hands did not slow down at all. After all, how could he know if he didn't defeat his opponent?

The electric cane and the matte Glock 17, one above and one below, aimed at each other's chest at the same time, but at this moment, Lan Ke's aura suddenly shook, and his movements became two points faster.

It was obvious that in order to capture the opponent alive, Lan Ke played almost all the cards he could use, even using the "power of the devil".

But his efforts were rewarded.

"Crack~"

"Da~"

When his wrist was hit, a numbing sensation made it impossible for Shirou Emiya to hold the Glock 17 tightly, and he actually fell directly to the ground. But before Shirou Emiya could pick up the gun, a cane was pointed in front of him.

Although no words were said, the meaning was clear.

Shirou Emiya had no choice but to stop, but just as he was about to raise his hand, he suddenly lifted up the right side of his clothes!

There was a gun lying quietly in the 'quick-draw holster', but before he could put up any more resistance, the black muzzle of the gun was pressed against his forehead.

As a 'professional' proficient in light weapons shooting, the other party recognized at a glance that this was the famous 'M500', a weapon that was enough to hunt large wild animals and was not a weapon used against humans at all.

The two fought for only a moment, but the winner was already decided...

Chapter 49: Fullmetal's Sister-Con: Shirou Emiya

The battle between Lan Ke and Shirou Emiya broke out extremely suddenly and ended extremely decisively.

Looking at the black muzzle of the gun in front of him, Shirou Emiya's heart sank suddenly.

Sure enough, just as he imagined, this 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts' was definitely not an ordinary group. After all, the real world was different from the game, and large-caliber weapons were not actually that popular.

Shirou Emiya once asked Kiritsugu Emiya about this. After all, in his opinion, shouldn't the larger the caliber, the better?

Facing the young Emiya Shirou at the time, Emiya Kiritsugu said this——————

"Many years have passed since the invention of firearms, but their development is actually not as great as you might imagine. In fact, the vast majority of firearms today are the result of optimizations based on those 'antiques'. However, firearms, as the most terrifying weapons since the birth of mankind, can easily take human lives."

"It doesn't matter if it's a large or small caliber, as long as you hit your opponent, then you are the winner."

"So, will anyone use this kind of gun?"

"Of course, but people like that are either idiots or experts, so be careful."

In Emiya Shirou's opinion, the 'Phantom Thief of Hearts' before him was definitely not an idiot. He couldn't be using the M500 just because he thought it was cool, right? He wasn't an elementary school student.

So the other party is definitely a 'master'!

Although he still had two quick-draw holsters under his armpits, he felt that as long as the distance between the two sides was still within a certain distance, there was no possibility of success for him.

"Whoo~"

Emiya Shirou let out a breath unconsciously.

"I don't know if you believe this, but I'm not one of the people who killed Ze Yuezhi..."

Lan Ke was not moved at all by Shirou Emiya's explanation, and even the M500 aimed at the other's head did not shake at all.

Shirou Emiya was not surprised by this. After all, how could there be a fool in this world who would believe others just because of a word? He raised his hands and spoke again.

"There are two guns in my clothes. You can take them off first."

Looking at Shirou Emiya who took the initiative to reveal his trump card, Lan Ke's expression was a little subtle. After all, the opponent in front of him gave him the feeling that he was not weak. Although he suppressed his opponent in just one round of fighting, if the distance between the two sides was widened, Lan Ke would not have the confidence to suppress his opponent in such a short time.

But now the other party actually took the initiative to let him disarm, and Lan Ke recognized the other party's sincerity.

He gestured for the other party to open his clothes. Only then did Lan Ke realize that the seemingly burly man in front of him was actually in disguise?!

It was also thanks to the "personality mask" that concealed the facial expression and the huge sense of oppression that the previous round of fighting brought to Shirou Emiya, otherwise the opponent might have noticed Lan Ke's "amateurism".

But there is no way around it. After all, compared to Shirou Emiya who has received professional training since childhood, Lan Ke was still a doctor not long ago and has basically no experience in this area. In other words, the ability of the "Phantom Thief of Hearts" is really too exaggerated, and it brings too much oppression to others.

But strictly speaking, this is not a bad thing. After all, most people can't imagine that a young man who sighs all day long about "Should I add an egg to my beef ramen" would be the Phantom Thief of Hearts who "throws money" everywhere.

Without thinking too much, Shirou Emiya carefully took off the quick-draw holster and threw it directly on the ground. During this process, his movements were very slow, for fear that his movements would be too fast and cause the opponent to misjudge.

He didn't speak again until he was completely disarmed.

"As far as I know, the Phantom Thief of Hearts possesses a wealth of information unknown to the police, both in the cases of Zeyue Zhi himself and those associated with the Zeyue Group. I believe that with your abilities, you should be able to confirm my identity. I believe that when you do, you will know that I am definitely not the one who assassinated Zeyue Zhi. After all, I was there at the time."

As Emiya Shirou finished his words, he took off his last disguise.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Shirou Emiya in front of him, Lan Ke was stunned.

"Fuck! Why is it Emiya Shirou?!"

Lan Ke was so surprised because he hadn't expected Emiya Shirou's fighting ability to be so terrifying. If he had rushed towards him wielding two swords, Lan Ke might not have been too surprised, but he was actually using a gun?!

What's more crucial is that in Lan Ke's impression, Shirou Emiya is a good guy, so why would he try to assassinate 'Ren Ren'?

The aunt of the pig is the aunt of the pig.

It’s not that the other party has no reason to take action, but the other party probably doesn’t know so much, right?

You know, he spent more than a day and collected a lot of A's along the way to find the "lotus seed" by following the clues. How did the other party know it?

And considering the convenience of transportation between the two parties, the other party is likely to know about this matter before oneself.

How did the other party do it?

What Lan Ke didn't know was that his silence actually brought more pressure to Shirou Emiya. It was not until Lan Ke noticed the cold sweat dripping from the other's forehead that he spoke again.

"Emiya Shirou, huh? Indeed, you shouldn't be an accomplice of the gunman that night..."

"!!!"

The simple name of Lan Ke made Shirou Emiya feel his heart completely gripped.

Although he believed that the 'Phantom Thief of Hearts' must have access to extremely special intelligence channels, he did not expect that the other party knew his identity without any investigation!

In other words, the other party had investigated him before? !

Doesn't that mean the other party knows about the existence of his sisters? !
