Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

After all, the other party did not appear very often, and there was no chance to study him, but now at least we know one of his personality traits, which may provide clues for the subsequent arrest.

Of course, the best result is to catch the other party directly!

Faced with Kudo Shinichi's increasingly sharp eyes, Emiya Shirou didn't pay much attention. After all, as Lucy said, "the time has come."

"Sorry, although chatting is fun, I have to get down to business~"

"Are you guys going to start 'stealing hearts'?!"

Faced with Kudo Shinichi's questioning, Emiya Shirou ignored him this time, but stood at the edge of the wall and stretched out his right hand.

Seeing this scene, the host of Tokyo TV became instantly excited.

While signaling his companions to hold the camera steady, he began to explain loudly.

"Before, because it was so sudden, we only captured the 'Heart Phantom Thieves Leader' leaping from the building. By the time we flew over, he had mysteriously disappeared. This time, another member of the Heart Phantom Thieves seems to be trying to leave. From this angle, we should be able to capture the whole thing... Wait?! What's that?!"

The host's sudden exclamation caught everyone's attention.

Although it was impossible to hear the sound from the top of the building due to the helicopter, a roar could be heard through the "Official Live Broadcast Room of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts (mistake)".

Immediately afterwards, under the gazes of countless people, a motorcycle roared from the bottom of the building straight to the top floor, and Emiya Shirou seemed to have telepathic connection with it. When the motorcycle passed by him, he grabbed the handle and pulled it directly to his side.

"Bang~"

Along with the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, a motorcycle that seemed to have nothing to do with the roof appeared in everyone's sight, and Shirou Emiya turned over and sat directly on it.

Even the Arasaka security personnel who had seen the 'flying car' before couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

It's a pity that Shirou Emiya had no intention of greeting them. He raised his index and middle fingers and waved them directly at Kudo Shinichi before turning the handle.

“Buzz~!!”

Accompanied by a violent roar, the 'Soul Chariot' seemed to have begun to accelerate despite having no support. It was then seen rushing straight ahead with the momentum of an arrow, and finally made a sudden turn and rushed towards another metal plate that seemed meaningless at first and was placed on the railing.

"Om!!"

Finally, under everyone's incredible gaze, the 'Soul Battlefield' flew straight to the roof of a shorter building nearby, and then made several consecutive leaps on the top of the building before disappearing from the camera.

From a certain perspective, Shirou Emiya's style is more stylish than Lan Ke's.

After all, suddenly disappearing is a traditional skill of the "Phantom Thief". This is the first time that someone like him flies around on the top of a building on a motorcycle.

Especially with the help of the news helicopter, everyone could see every scene of his leap. Their hearts unconsciously rose to their throats, and they only breathed a sigh of relief when the other party completely disappeared.

But with the departure of Shirou Emiya, the originally crowded rooftop of the building became a little strange.

After all, although Shirou Emiya used the so-called "anesthesia paint bullet" to almost "catch all" the police, Arasaka's security personnel are still there.

Even though their Tasers were scrapped at this point, the number of nearly ten people was still considerable.

But the strange thing was that everyone just surrounded Lucy and had no intention of moving forward.

After all, the 'Adam's Hammer' lying at the opponent's feet looked quite intimidating.

But just because they don't come doesn't mean Lucy won't go over, or perhaps this is exactly what Shirou Emiya wants.

All the police officers who might disrupt the situation were eliminated, leaving only a group of "Arasaka security personnel" who had a personal grudge against Lucy, naturally for the other party to vent their anger.

Under the gazes of countless people, Lucy simply held the guitar in reverse and walked towards the people in front of her.

Although she didn't say a word, the sound of the guitar body rubbing against the ground was extremely creepy. Lucy at this moment seemed like two different people from the one who was stroking the guitar with a gentle look on her face before.

But at this moment, Lucy suddenly paused.

There is a huge difference between the 'material world' and the 'cognitive world'. Even Lan Ke cannot summon a personality mask in the 'material world'. The 'Soul Chariot' summoned by Shirou Emiya must be pushed out physically, and it also loses most of its special effects.

But Lucy is an exception. Her 'Phantom Thief Suit' not only enhances her physical fitness, but also allows her to withstand more loads from the 'mysterious chip'. This is also the secret for her to operate the 'small drone' for live broadcasts and control the large screen and countless playback devices under her feet.

So is that all she controls?

Do not!

Because Lan Ke has always wanted to catch the bastard who made his originally perfect debut a little anticlimactic, and knowing that Lucy has this ability after putting on the Phantom Thief uniform, he simply asked Shirou Emiya to install cameras on the tops of all suspicious buildings, and Lucy used them to monitor.

Just because the "assassins" had not appeared as expected on previous occasions, Shirou Emiya and Lucy thought it was a coincidence and didn't take it too seriously. They simply followed their leader's orders and set up a surveillance network according to Lan Ke's request.

But unexpectedly, a target actually appeared...

Chapter 70 Practical RANK skills.

With the help of the "third eye", Lan Ke reached the penultimate floor of the "Arasaka Tower" through countless blind spots of surveillance and traps. In order to wait for Shirou Emiya, he even had the leisure to collect treasure chests. Although he might not be able to get suitable equipment or props, even just some gold coins would be enough.

After all, Lan Ke spent a lot of money to make things bigger this time!

As heroic as they were when they scattered the gold coins, as humble as Lan Ke was when he collected the gold coins afterwards.

But it's all worth it!!

The traffic that had been suppressed for nearly a month began to explode with the help of countless big hands.

However, just as Lan Ke was waiting for Shirou Emiya to arrive, his cell phone suddenly vibrated.

That's right, in order to prevent his phone from ringing suddenly while sneaking in and attracting enemies on an entire floor, Lan Ke's phone is usually on vibrate mode. But why would his phone respond when he is in the "hall" now?

It's simple, because he unlocked a new skill when he obtained the 'Moon Tarot'.

【Encrypted Communication: Able to obtain normal signals in the cognitive world】

At first glance, it seems to be a very subtle skill. After all, this skill cannot give Lan Ke any direct ability improvement, but many times things cannot be calculated that way. This skill gives Lan Ke and his team countless times more tactical options.

First, the most basic network information query, and secondly, timely communication with the outside world can also help you understand changes in the outside world. After all, display is different from games, and accidents may happen at any time in the outside world.

For example, the message Lan Ke received at this time.

"I finally found it..."

Looking at the picture that was so blurry that the human figure was almost invisible because the flash could not be used, but the human figure and the gun were clearly visible, Lan Ke's mouth curled up slightly.

But along with the picture came another message.

'The camera was discovered and removed'

Lan Ke was not too surprised by this situation.

Although Shirou Emiya is very good at finding sniping points, and he arranges secret surveillance cameras based on the points he finds, making it difficult to be discovered, but since his opponent is a madman who dares to snipe a consortium owner in broad daylight, he should naturally have corresponding abilities.

"Can it be tracked?"

Lucy, who was in contact with Lan Ke via the communication software built into the chip, could convert her thoughts into text and send it to Lan Ke without even having to speak.

"Sorry, the other party moved away immediately after discovering the surveillance."

Lan Ke couldn't help but frown slightly. Although he knew that the enemies hiding in the dark might be very troublesome, it now seemed that they might be more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

After all, it might be more troublesome than imagined to catch a group of enemies hiding in the dark who are strong enough and very cautious.

In fact, what Lan Ke and the others didn’t know was that the people in the ‘Black Organization’ were even more unexpected than they imagined.

"GIN, I found surveillance footage at the designated A1 sniper point."

"Me too."

Cohen and Chianti said something almost simultaneously on the communication channel, causing Gin to narrow his eyes slightly while sitting in his beloved Porsche 356A.

If the appearance of surveillance at one of the sniper points could be understood as an accident, then the simultaneous appearance of surveillance at two consecutive sniper points was enough to show that this was definitely a case of "being well prepared."

Is it that old guy from 'Arasaka' who's afraid of death?

No, it shouldn't be him. He is very cautious and there is no way he would appear near the window. Since he can't snipe, there is no need to set up something that may expose himself. So it must be the work of the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts'?

This extremely mysterious organization, which has only appeared for less than a month, has brought too many surprises to Gin.

Regardless of the mysterious 'heart-stealing technique' or the flawless method, what concerned him most was the unknown number of people.

Although the "Black Organization" does not have many members with code names, it has quite a few subordinate members and peripheral organizations. After all, everyone has their own expertise, and we can't ask the members of the "Black Organization" to bring their own food to work for the organization, right?

The 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts' not only likes to 'throw money around', but also possesses extremely professional technology and personnel. I guess they also have 'stable financial income' and 'a large number of peripheral members' serving them, right?

"As expected, it's not easy to capture a target named by the boss himself, but..."

"Evacuate immediately. Retreat to the outermost perimeter and find a sniper position to continue the mission. If there are still any enemy 'eyes' left, retreat immediately."

The so-called 'outermost' refers to the maximum shooting distance of Cohen and Chianti, which is about 600 yards. If there are surveillance cameras on the tops of all the buildings suitable for shooting within this range, then the operation would have been declared a failure in advance.

After all, although Gin is bloodthirsty, he is not a madman. After being discovered by the target, he would never let the "code member" sacrifice his life for such a mission with an unknown success rate.

Who knows if Ken and Chianti will be surrounded while they are sniping their targets?

What's more, they didn't gain nothing this time.

"receive."

Cohen was as taciturn as ever. After giving a very brief response, he fell completely silent. It was obvious that he was looking for a new sniper spot according to Gin's request.

In contrast, Chianti complained softly, but Gin simply chose to ignore it, as that was just the other person's personality.

Lan Ke, who had never thought that the enemy was the "Black Organization" and that their target was not "Arasaka Saburo" but himself and others, decisively gave Lucy new instructions.

"V, please monitor the outside to prevent the enemy from assassinating Arasaka Saburo."

If she had heard such an order when she joined the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, she would have definitely refused without hesitation.

After all, 'Arasaka Saburo' could be said to be the culprit of her tragic life, and she wished she could tear him into pieces with her own hands. However, after joining the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts', her thoughts had unknowingly changed.

It's not that I forgive Saburo Arasaka, but I feel that simply killing this scumbag might be a relief for him. It would be even more cruel for him to watch the evil kingdom he built completely collapse before his eyes.

After all, if the other party dies, who will push the first brick to collapse this evil empire?

So the other party can die, but he must not die unclearly. He must reveal everything he has done before he can die!

So she chose to accept it after only a moment's hesitation.

"Then I'll leave the strategy for the 'Palace' to you two."

"No problem, leave it to us!"

The original plan was to let Lucy finish the job, or give the final blow to 'Arasaka Saburo (Shadow)' if the situation allowed. After all, even if Lan Ke found the 'safe route', Lucy, whose body had already undergone some transformation, would not be able to leave.

According to Lan Ke's original plan, as they began to attack the BOSS, they would attract the attention of the entire hall, and Lucy could take the opportunity to invade, but since the other party would not come in for the time being, it would actually save trouble.

But he did not forget the more important things.

'Be careful and don't forget your own safety.'

Looking at Lan Ke's instructions, Lucy couldn't help but smile.

She didn't hate the feeling of being cared for.

However, Lucy's silence and Shirou Emiya's departure seemed to send a wrong signal to the Arasaka Security present. After looking at each other, they rushed towards Lucy without hesitation.

Although many of them have gun licenses, the public opinion impact of shooting in public and shooting in private is incomparable, so they all gave up using guns.

After all, in their eyes, even if she is a 'Phantom Thief', she is just a woman. According to 'Adam Hammer', she is still a 'technician'. How could they, a group of muscular men with an average height of 180cm and a weight of 180cm, be afraid of her?

What's more, their leader 'Adam Hammer' has completely fainted at this time. Maybe if they catch him, they will have a chance?

As the saying goes, "Fortune and honor are sought in danger." Even though we still don't know how Lucy knocked out "Adam's Hammer," it shouldn't be effective on all of them. Otherwise, why didn't they take action when they surrounded them before?

Thinking of this, the man who couldn't help himself rushed straight towards Lucy, and the others who had been ready for action followed closely behind.

"drink!!"

Facing the group of big men surrounding her, Lucy showed a disdainful expression.

If it were in the past, she would probably only be able to choose to fight in a mobile combat mode. After all, just like the difference between heavyweights in a boxing match, both muscle and fat can bring greater strength and resistance to blows, even if she maintains her physical fitness every day and uses the 'chip' to learn and guide fighting.

But the gap in power cannot be changed in any way.

However, now that she has awakened her personality mask, she is not afraid at all!

The reason why Shirou Emiya left was not only because the time was almost up, but also because he felt that the other party could handle the current situation.

Facing a group of strong men rushing towards her, Lucy, holding her guitar upside down, swung it forward suddenly.

"boom!!"

“Crack~!!”

Along with an extremely exaggerated sound, the man who tried to raise his arms to block the attack only felt a piercing pain in his arms. As a veteran of many battles, he knew very well that his arms must have been broken.

But the opponent, who had been mentally prepared, did not retreat but advanced instead, and pounced towards Lucy with an extremely ferocious expression!

I have already paid so much, wouldn’t it be unworthy of my sacrifice if I don’t catch the other person?

Facing the man with a ferocious face like a beast, Lucy swung the guitar that was originally swung upwards and smashed it hard at the man following closely behind him, while raising her right foot and kicking directly at the man in front of her.
