Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

Going out with friends?

Miyu, who had been eating breakfast silently with her head down because she was not in a good mood, suddenly raised her head.

Yi Er Er pulls out the feathers of her uncle

A man with glasses and a girl with kelp hair suddenly popped up in her mind.

"Is it Matou-nii and the others?"

"Shinji? No, it's my new friend I made recently~"

Thinking of Lan Ke, Emiya Shirou seemed quite helpless. After all, when he was with the other party, he didn't know whether he felt more "surprised" or "happy" more.

Looking at Shirou Emiya's helpless but slightly upturned mouth, Miyu's heart suddenly went on alarm!

"Is it a girl?"

Looking at Miyu who looked alert, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but feel helpless.

"My sister is still too dependent on herself."

Huh0?樲⑵８㈢○⒐ノ╲

But some things still need to be done slowly, so he just shook his head.

"A boy, I met him while working."

After Emiya Shirou finished speaking, Miyu did not just let it go as usual, but instead looked at Emiya Shirou carefully.

It was obvious that the previous 'adoption case' had caused Miyu to feel a strong sense of insecurity.

Fortunately, Shirou Emiya's expression was very frank, which made Miyu feel relieved.

The atmosphere at the table finally returned to its usual peaceful state.

However, Shirou Emiya and Miyu seemed to be thinking about their own things, and only Illya was the most relaxed.

After all, in her opinion, 'Big Brother Phantom Thief can do anything'. Since the other party has already promised her, then her sister will definitely be fine!

All she needs to do is wait patiently!

No, I can't just wait around, she also needs to work hard!

For example, asking my brother for advice on cooking?

After all, cooking is a very important part of 'bridal training'.

And my brother's craftsmanship is impeccable!

Breakfast time passed quietly like this. When Taiga yawned and arrived at Emiya's residence, the three of them had already finished breakfast. However, Shirou Emiya had heated up breakfast for them in advance.

Taiga casually sat cross-legged at the dining table, eating the breakfast brought by Emiya Shirou, feeling very comfortable.

But at this moment, Shirou Emiya suddenly mentioned that he was going out today.

Taiga paused unconsciously while eating, then nodded to indicate that he would take care of Illya and Miyu.

Taiga naturally didn't know what Shirou Emiya was planning to do, but in her opinion it must be related to the previous case.

From a certain perspective, Da He's "luck" is really a BUG.

Obviously, I guessed all the steps wrong, but the answer was subtle and not wrong.

After all, although Emiya Shirou did not intend to follow the 'normal procedure' again, his purpose was to handle the case.

But when Shirou Emiya changed into inconspicuous clothes and appeared at the place where he and Lan Ke had agreed to meet, wearing a baseball cap and a mask, he was stunned.

Because he found that compared to himself who was "on high alert", Lan Ke, who was holding a mobile phone in one hand and a drink in the other, looked too "ordinary".

So ordinary that he seems to be no different from the ordinary people who pass by him.

Instead, Lan Ke immediately spotted Shirou Emiya in the crowd.

This is not only because he can use "Tarot" to locate, but also because Shirou Emiya's outfit is really special.

To ordinary people, the other person was simply wrapped tightly, but to those who paid close attention, they could clearly notice his abnormality.

Lan Ke quickly quickened his pace and walked forward.

"Shirou! What are you doing?!"

Although Lan Ke tried to lower his voice, Shirou Emiya still couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"I...is there something wrong with this?"

Emiya Shirou naturally knew that this outfit might attract some people's attention, but the key to this outfit was not to "hide oneself", but to "not leave any characteristics even if discovered".

In other words, even if you are suspected, as long as you can run away on the spot, everything will be fine.

Compared to Lan Ke's outfit, the advantage is that it has a 'high lower limit'.

"It's impossible for anyone to discover what we're doing. We're just ordinary high school boys here. You don't need to do this..."

Shirou Emiya is indeed stronger than Lan Ke in professional skills, but it is obvious that the other party has not yet adapted to the existence of "extra-dimensional navigation".

At least from this point of view, Lan Ke is indeed a "senior".

After Lan Ke's explanation, Emiya Shirou finally reacted, but his expression was still a little subtle.

After all, the ability to travel between two worlds is too buggy, and Shirou Emiya can't even imagine it.

But after taking a deep breath, he nodded.

Lan Ke didn't waste any time and took the other party to the 'landing point' he usually used and directly entered the 'cognitive world'.

Unlike the previous time when he was hypnotized by Lan Ke, he was brought to the "cognitive world" in a trance.

This time he only felt the world spinning, and when he came to his senses again, they had appeared in the ruins.

As for them, they had already put on their respective 'Phantom Thief Uniforms'.

Before Emiya Shirou could react to what was happening, Lan Ke had already taken out his cane.

"Although I really want to explain the current situation to you, Shirou, it seems that we still have some things to deal with first..."

Following Lan Ke's line of sight, Emiya Shirou saw a dark slime monster approaching them...

Chapter 65: 'Eye of Judgment'

"Perhaps 'stealing hearts' seems bizarre to you, Shirou, but if you understand this world, you won't be surprised."

"The 'cognitive world' and the 'material world' we live in are mutually dependent. The 'material world' affects the 'cognitive world', and the 'cognitive world' also affects the 'material world'..."

Lan Ke was seriously explaining to Shirou Emiya the principle of "stealing hearts" by the "Phantom Thieves of Hearts", but Shirou Emiya couldn't help but look around.

This is certainly not because Shirou Emiya is not careful, but because the monster under Lan Ke's feet is dancing around in such a miserable manner, especially because Lan Ke stepped on the monster's face, making it unable to scream.

As if noticing Emiya Shirou's gaze, Lan Ke suddenly raised his right foot and stepped down.

“Ah ...

Accompanied by an extremely shrill scream, the 'male nightmare' finally let out a scream, and then his 'serene' face turned into shattered pieces...

"Okay, let's get back to business."

"The 'material world' influences the 'cognitive world.' You can understand this as meaning that whatever a person does in our world will be reflected in the 'cognitive world.' No matter how good a person is at acting, no matter how much they deceive others, they cannot deceive their own heart."

"In contrast, once someone in the 'cognitive world' makes a change, it will be reflected back to their body in the 'material world'..."

Having said that, Emiya Shirou nodded unconsciously.

He had roughly figured out the logic behind the 'Phantom Thief of Heart''s behavior.

Completely different from the speculation of the police or the public, the so-called "stealing hearts" was completely completed in the "cognitive world", and naturally no clues could be found.

only------

"Even in the 'cognitive world', changing someone's mind is difficult, right?"

Listening to Emiya Shirou's question, Lan Ke nodded in approval.

"Indeed, we have to mention the peculiarities of the 'cognitive world' here!"

As he spoke, Lan Ke gestured for Shirou Emiya to follow him.

"Bicorn!!"

With a low chuckle from Lan Ke, the bird-beak mask on his face turned into countless sparks, and when the sparks condensed into shape again, the 'Two-horned Beast' also appeared.

"My Lord~"

The Bicorn was as humble as ever, and Lan Ke then looked at Emiya Shirou.

Although so far Emiya Shirou has not really used his own 'persona mask'.

That's right, Emiya Shirou's situation last night was more like being possessed by a 'persona mask', or a 'persona mask infected by negative emotions'.

As for today, it was basically Lan Ke who did the fighting, and he just fired some shots to help Lan Ke.

Seeing Lan Ke summon the "Personality Mask" at this time, he also tried to summon his own Personality Mask.

It was obvious that as a newcomer, he had been trying to imitate Lan Ke.

Whether it is the original fighting method or summoning the personality mask.

As he had this thought, his body started to move.

Shirou Emiya first took off his helmet, and then smashed it hard to the ground.

"Click~"

The 'persona' shattered, and these fragments turned into flames that completely ignited Emiya Shirou's surroundings. In the flames, accompanied by a roar, a flaming skeleton riding a motorcycle rushed out.

"Woo~~"

The motorcycle circled around Emiya Shirou before finally coming to a stop.

"Kid! What are we going to hit next!!"

Looking at the 'Bicorn' who bowed his head respectfully to Lan Ke, and then looking at the 'Ghost Rider' who called him 'kid', Shirou Emiya felt extremely complicated.

It was at this moment that the 'Ghost Rider' noticed Lan Ke. He was stunned at first, then suddenly twisted the handle and placed it directly between Lan Ke and Emiya Shirou.

"Hey, hey! Kid! You're not going to go against this 'monster', are you?"

Shirou Emiya was stunned at first, but then he realized what the other person was saying.

"Ming... No, what happened to the doctor?"

In Shirou Emiya's opinion, Lan Ke is indeed very special. Whether it is guiding himself into the "cognitive world", acting as a "Phantom Thief of Hearts", or researching the "Personality Mask", all are extremely surprising things. But as for himself, he should not be considered a "monster", right?

But what he didn't expect was that the Ghost Rider, who had been in a state of disarray both before and after his appearance, rarely showed a serious expression.

"Little devil, you can't see it because you are only human, but my 'Eye of Judgment' can see that the other person has an extremely terrifying curse. He... has been cursed by 'God'."

Cursed by God?

Lan Ke, who had not said a word since the appearance of the 'Ghost Rider', seemed a little surprised. It was obvious that he had no idea about this matter. He even looked at the 'Two-horned Beast' beside him.

Although he didn't say a word, the 'Two-horned Beast' who had been cooperating with Lan Ke for a long time still understood what Lan Ke meant, but he just shook his head.

"My Lord, I have never heard of this. Neither I nor anyone on board has ever mentioned it."

Bicorn's attitude was very direct, but Lan Ke couldn't ignore what Ghost Rider said. After all, the other party's "personality mask" was extremely special.

Because they had just awakened, Emiya Shirou's personality mask and 'Lamer' were both initially at LV0, and they could only use a few of their own skills.

Lamer's 'Demon Power' and 'Hellfire' are one auxiliary and one debuff, and it can be clearly seen that it is not an offensive personality mask.

In contrast, 'Ghost Rider' is an extremely specialized aggressive personality mask.

The opponent also has two skills at the beginning, 'Eye of Judgment' and 'Flame Charge'.

The Eye of Judgement has passive and active effects.

The active effect is that once used on a target, the target's "sin value" can be read. The passive effect is that all attacks are strengthened according to the opponent's "sin value". The opponent attacked by the "Ghost Rider" will receive fire damage from the "Flame of Judgment".

Of course, this kind of enhancement is not unlimited, and there is a certain upper limit based on the Ghost Rider's own registration.

As for the 'Flame Crash', it is simpler and more brutal. You just drive a motorcycle into it, mainly dealing physical damage with a certain amount of fire damage. However, because of the 'Eye of Judgment', the fire damage will be further enhanced.

From this we can see that 'Ghost Rider' should be a special offensive personality mask that mainly uses physical attacks and adds fire damage.
