Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

Having said that, Lan Ke folded his hands in front of his mouth and lowered his forehead slightly, almost hiding his entire face in the darkness, revealing only a pair of eyes as bright as stars.

"Whether you choose to forgive Mr. Jotaro, or continue to be hostile to him without wavering."

As Lan Ke finished speaking, the whole room fell into silence. Jolyne Kujo looked at Lan Ke with surprise, as if she didn't quite understand why Lan Ke would say something like "hostile to Jotaro".

"Shouldn't you be doing your best to help that stinky... guy?"

Looking at Xu Lun's surprised face, Lan Ke couldn't help but smile.

"Because I believe in Mr. Jotaro~"

Looking at the smiling Lan Ke, Xu Lun was stunned for two seconds, then turned his head suddenly and muttered in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.

"You're actually saying good things about 'that guy' in front of people who hate 'that guy'. Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up?"

Lan Ke remained extremely calm about this and just looked at Xu Lun with a smile on his face. She even felt a little embarrassed, so she muttered softly.

"Don't try to convince me by just believing it. You have to prove it to me!"

Perhaps she felt that this little girl's attitude was not suitable for her, so Xu Lun instinctively added a sentence almost after she finished speaking, and Lan Ke naturally would not refuse.

Although Jolyne doesn't seem to have any intention of reconciling with Jotaro, it's at least a good trend, isn't it?

"I will try my best to prove it~"

Just as Lan Ke finished speaking, the familiar sound of waves came again.

Unlike the previous times when he was stunned, Lan Ke, who had already grasped some of the rules of "Tarot", seemed very calm about this.

What big scene has he never seen?

Even such a small thing makes you want to scare————

"I am you...you are me...

Here you have a new lease

As the saying goes, firewood is the firewood that is reborn from the ashes.

I, the 'lover' mask, was born with the blessing of the wind

We will provide further support for the development of the future.”

grass? !

What the hell? !

Which Tarot?!

Lan Ke’s eyes widened instantly, and he even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears?

If Xu Lun was not still in her room, Lan Ke would definitely not be able to help but pull out the "Tarot" immediately to check it again.

The only good news was probably that Xu Lun was also a little embarrassed. Almost as soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for Lan Ke's reaction, she put Lan Ke's bedding on the bed, stepped on the bedding, jumped up suddenly and hooked the edge of the skylight.

After Lan Ke finished speaking, only two long legs were left dangling outside the skylight.

Even when Lan Ke reacted, he couldn't be sure that Xu Lun had heard his answer.

Fortunately, at this moment, Xu Lun, with a rosy face, suddenly poked her head in from the skylight.

"You can't go back on your word! We'll investigate together later!!"

After saying that, she trotted away without caring about Lan Ke's reaction, not even giving Lan Ke a chance to remind her to be careful.

As for how Lan Ke confirmed it?

The friction sound of the decorative tiles above his head was so harsh, how could he not hear it?

But at this moment he could no longer care about so many things. There was only one thing on his mind at this moment - Wuhu, it's over!

After all, the 'Lovers' Tarot card is too special.

Strictly speaking, the tarot cards that Lan Ke most wants to obtain are "Chariot" and "Lovers".

The former is more functional and may help him significantly shorten the time of "killing monsters"; as for the latter, it is closely related to Lan Ke's "dream"... Yes, it is Lan Ke's "harem dream"!

But the problem is that when the 'Lovers' Tarot card is combined with the surname 'Kujo', some strange chemical reactions will occur.

Lan Ke even imagined himself being hung on the wall.

wrong!

Maybe he was wrong?

With unrealistic hope, Lan Ke took out all the tarot cards that belonged to him from his chest.

One of the newly acquired 'Tarot' was extremely conspicuous, and Lan Ke clicked it without hesitation.

The first line you see is the number 'VI' which symbolizes 'lovers'.

The remaining hope was shattered in an instant, and Lan Ke's face completely fell.

Lan Ke, lying on the bed where Xu Lun had stepped on, fell into silence as he looked at the starry sky outside the skylight, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.

After a long while, accompanied by a long breath, Lan Ke slowly sat up straight.

wrong!

There is still hope for him!!

Although Jolyne obtained the 'Lovers' Tarot, it does not mean that the two will develop into 'lovers'. So as long as she is careful and cautious, there is still a chance... right?

If you think about it this way, wouldn't it be a good thing to get a Tarot card for free?

While comforting himself, Lan Ke took out the 'Lover' Tarot card again and tried to observe the surface.

Generally speaking, there will be some connection between 'Tarot' and its corresponding character, and one can even infer some of the other party's situation.

But Xu Lun’s tarot card is very special, a bit like... poker?

Because 'Lovers' is different from other Tarot cards in that it is divided into two parts from the middle, and the two parts are in opposite directions and connected at the tail.

One side is gray in color, with a man's back walking away and a woman lying on the ground nearby; the other side shows a man and a woman hugging each other tightly.

The two paintings express completely opposite moods, but the characters seem to be the same person.

However, the only thing in common is that there is a figure staring at them at the bottom of both pictures, and the lower half of the two figures are completely connected together, just like the 'K, Q, J' on a 'poker'.

Compared to other people's Tarot, the Tarot corresponding to 'Lovers' or Xu Lun is actually easy to understand, especially after knowing her experience.

It is obvious that Xu Lun is struggling with the relationship between her father and mother.

This also seems to be related to the "Lovers" card corresponding to choice (upright) and vacillation (reversed).

From a certain perspective, Jolyne, who is entangled in the relationship between her parents and is deeply influenced by them, is indeed very suitable for the "Lovers" Tarot card.

But the problem is——————Lan Ke is afraid!!

I always feel like the probability of being "Euler" is increasing! !

In addition to this, Lan Ke will have to face a more complicated matter next.

Jotaro Kujo has never been to the attic since Lan Ke moved into it. It is obvious that he has regarded this place as Lan Ke's private space.

But the question is, will Xu Lun care so much?

He didn't mind the other party seeing him changing clothes, or he actually wanted to show off his muscles. The problem was that if he was killing monsters in the middle of the night and the other party suddenly ran in and found that he was missing, it would be too troublesome to explain afterwards.

This is related to the work of the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts'!

But now that it has happened, there is nothing he can do.

"Anyway, let's take it one step at a time..."

Thinking of this, Lan Ke fell into a deep sleep, and it was obvious that he was planning to meet his assistant and Emilia.

After all, he needed a good rest, as he and Shirou Emiya needed to visit that 'weird Miss Lucy' tonight.

Lan Ke's intuition told him that the other party must be hiding a big secret.

Right now, only doing business can distract him...

Chapter 18 Gradually Begins to Integrate into the Team

Because he just made a big move recently, Lan Ke is not in a hurry to kill monsters recently.

Thanks to this, Lan Ke had enough time to help Jotaro "take care of the child".

But Emiya Shirou doesn't have these troubles.

As he himself said, "Quitting all my jobs suddenly will only make me suspicious," so he only quit those jobs that he didn't go to often or those where he had a mediocre relationship with the owner, and kept the other jobs for the time being.

But even so, the time Emiya Shirou can spare for activities every day has increased several times.

Not to mention that his 'Persona' even surpasses Lan Ke in terms of mobility.

At the beginning, at a low level, 'Bicorn' could still rely on its attributes to suppress the opponent, but as the level of 'Ghost Rider' went up, 'Bicorn' no longer mentioned this matter.

Therefore, whenever Shirou Emiya has time, he goes to the "Impression Space" to kill monsters.

This efficiency is undoubtedly higher, but it also means that he has very little exploration of the "impression space" or the entire "cognitive world".

Usually they would gather at the subway station and then follow Lan Ke to their destination. Today was the first time he came to Mihua from the Port District alone, and he felt very novel... even though it was already past the time they had agreed on.

Just as he was looking around, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

Almost at the same time as he heard the voice, Emiya Shirou, who was listening to his own Persona boasting, turned his head with a smile.

"Leader, where are we going next... huh?"

Shirou Emiya originally wanted to say hello to Lan Ke, but he stopped talking unconsciously as soon as he opened his mouth, because he found that Lan Ke looked a little... strange today?

What to say?

Although Lan Ke's face could not be seen due to the 'mask' he was wearing, there was a strange aura emanating from his entire body, just like... a salted fish that had been exposed to the salt frost?

"Leader, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at Shirou Emiya's face full of concern, Lan Ke bit her lip and didn't know how to start for a moment.

Should I tell him that I saw my own 'death star' flashing in the sky, and the reason was that I was chatting up my landlord's daughter?

Because it was so embarrassing, Lan Ke simply pretended not to understand.

"Nothing, just thinking... By the way, Rider, have you visited the 'target's house'?"

When he heard Lan Ke mention the serious matter, Shirou Emiya shook his head.

"Because, 'Leader,' you reminded me that although the 'Impression Space' is part of the 'Cognitive World,' the laws of the two are completely different."

"The monsters I encountered in the former had a fixed strength within the same layer, but the monsters in the 'cognitive world' didn't have any patterns, so I didn't run around just in case."

Listening to what Shirou Emiya said, Lan Ke couldn't help but feel that he was really reliable as a teammate.

But he still added one sentence.

"But there's no need to worry too much. Although high-level monsters are randomly distributed in the 'cognitive world,' powerful monsters follow a pattern. They often guard 'treasure chests' or 'crystallizations of cognitive energy.' So, as long as you don't touch a 'treasure chest' when you see one in the wild, theoretically, there won't be much danger."

Shirou Emiya's prudence and obedience are undoubtedly worthy of praise, but Lan Ke wants to have 'teammates' rather than 'subordinates', so he doesn't want the other party to lose the ability to think for himself, which is why he said this.

Shirou Emiya seemed to understand what Lan Ke meant. He didn't say much but just nodded.

Seeing this, Lan Ke also didn't say much but just took Shirou towards Lucy's house and explained to him the abnormalities he had discovered.

And Emiya Shirou also listened very carefully.

After all, the "Alternative Dimension Navigation" does not have a chat room function. In order to prevent accidents, Lan Ke and Emiya Shirou basically use various "pronouns" agreed in advance to communicate briefly.

So when he heard that there were a dozen cameras set up near the home of the girl named 'Lucy', his frown actually relaxed.

After all, whether these cameras were installed by her or by others to monitor her, it was enough to send out the "Phantom Thieves of Hearts".

After all, I was able to install a dozen surveillance cameras near my home that ordinary people couldn't detect. It was obvious that I was not ordinary and paid great attention to self-protection. I was probably hiding some special intelligence.

As for the latter, anyone who can do such a thing is no longer a simple BT, and must be dealt with severely!

So according to Lan Ke's plan, he would use his "third eye" to find more clues, and then the "professional" Shirou Emiya would confirm the threat posed by the opponent.

Although joining the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts' was completely an accident, Lan Ke did help him save his sister as agreed. He was also extremely grateful to Lan Ke from the bottom of his heart and was willing to sacrifice his life for Lan Ke.

Even if one day Lan Ke needed him to sacrifice himself to save the other person's life, he would not hesitate at all.

Because he believed that Lan Ke would also help him take good care of his sister.

But this is more of an 'emotional' way of thinking.
