Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

Although you cannot make calls in the "Impression Space", you can still take photos.

It is obvious that Lan Ke intends to take a picture of the "ocaran"'s appearance so that he can follow the picture and hand the clues to Kudo Shinichi.

But as the crowd got closer, Lan Ke's expression became a little strange, because he found that the clothes of the "occidental" seemed to be a little wrong?

Although the clothes worn by each oiran when "parading" are different due to their personal character and reputation, they generally do not exceed the scope of "gorgeous kimono".

But Lan Ke discovered that the "courtesan" surrounded by countless people seemed to be wearing black and white?

This should also be considered unlucky in Neon, right?

"Could it be that this courtesan is actually a widow?"

Just as Lan Ke was brainstorming, the group surrounding the "Oiran" was getting closer and closer, and Lan Ke's expression was becoming more and more weird, until it finally turned into a word!

"grass!!!"

Lan Ke's exclamation was so unconcealed that it even attracted the attention of many onlookers.

But considering that Lan Ke was not the only one who exclaimed, most people just glanced at Lan Ke and ignored him.

But Lan Ke, the person involved, almost dropped the telescope in his hand.

What did he see?

It’s Saber!!

That's right, when he met Fujimura Taiga, Lan Ke realized that in this world that has merged countless worlds, there should be more than one character from the 'FATE' worldview, especially when he himself synthesized the 'Skeleton Warrior', a 'personality mask' that does not exist in the 'Book of Masks', he has fantasized about it more than once.

Is there a chance that he can turn a 'stand-in' into his own personality mask?

Or perhaps he could transform a certain "Heroic Spirit" into his own personality mask.

Even though his interest in ACG works has declined due to work reasons, he is still deeply impressed by the heroine 'Saber' of FSN, which was one of his favorite works in his student days. Naturally, he also fantasized about whether he could turn her into his own 'persona'.

But he never expected that he would meet the other party in Ze Yuezhi's palace.

Not to mention that the other party is actually an 'Oiran'!!

Although everything in the 'palace' is fake and just the palace owner's fantasy, everything in front of him indicates that the other party may have already set his sights on the 'saber' outside.

Of course, there is another possibility, but Lan Ke just doesn't want to think about it.

Although there was a grand parade in front of him, Lan Ke had no intention of continuing to watch it.

However, he still patiently looked for clues carefully, and as he "eavesdropped" on the words of passers-by, Lan Ke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Because according to passers-by, this "Oiran" came from "Nanban" and originally had a very high status in Nanban. However, it seems that she was targeted by a lackey of the "master of Yoshiwara", and her family was destroyed and she was sent to "Yoshiwara". It seems that she was intended to be presented to the "master of Yoshiwara".

However, because the 'owner of Yoshiwara' seems to have been out for something recently, he is temporarily detained inside the 'Yoshiwara Building'.

Hearing this, Lan Ke couldn't help but let out a sigh.

It seems that the other party should be Ze Yuezhi's next target, but because of what happened between him and Kudo Shinichi, the other party restrained himself a lot and did not take action immediately.

This is a good thing for them.

But the problem is that no one knows how long this fear can last.

As long as 'Ze Yue Zhi' doesn't change his mind, the other party will be in danger.

Lan Ke, who already hated Ze Yuezhi's behavior, couldn't help but want to give him a "hard smack" when he thought that he might attack his favorite character.

Originally, it didn't matter to Lan Ke when he would complete the heart stealing. It would be best if he could do it before Kudo Shinichi, so as to increase the popularity of the "Phantom Thieves of Hearts" and get off to a good start.

Later, as long as it's not exposed, no one will know that the 'Phantom Thief of Hearts' lost to the detective.

But the other party's next action prompted Lan Ke to secretly make up his mind to get rid of the other party as soon as possible.

It's a waste of air to let this kind of scum act freely. The best place for him to stay is either hell or a prison cell where he is constantly tortured by his conscience.

Obviously, there is no "time-limited mission" in this world, but Lan Ke has set a time limit for himself.

After adjusting his breathing, Lan Ke went against the flow of people and disappeared into the alley.

Although the ordinary people who kept gathering and trying to watch felt strange about Lan Ke's behavior, most of them just took a look and then ignored him.

After leaving the crowd of onlookers, Lan Ke accelerated towards his goal, the 'Zeyue Building'.

Although Zeyuezhi's huge and twisted desire regards the entire "Taito District" as a hunting ground for him to pick whatever he wants, the headquarters of the Zeyue Group undoubtedly plays an extremely important role in it.

The other party is also very clear about where his willfulness comes from.

Because most people were attracted by the "parade", there were almost no people on the road. Lan Ke easily avoided the crowd and reached his destination, which was also the destination of the "Oiran Parade" - Zeyue Building.

Compared to the bustle of yesterday, the entrance of Zeyue Building seemed much quieter today. There were no longer endless streams of people, but instead a group of security guards wandering around with nothing to do.

It was obvious that not only ordinary people on Yoshiwara Street, but even the customers of the Yoshiwara Building had gone to join in the fun.

But this made Lan Ke notice the first "abnormality".

They are in Yoshiwara and run the largest "brothel". Theoretically, they should have a chance to see each other, right?

It seems that there is no need to go to the streets to watch?

Or in other words, what secret is actually hidden in this?

It’s a pity that there are too few clues. Lan Ke is not a genius detective like Kudo Shinichi. Unable to find any clues, he just glanced at the somewhat deserted gate and left.

Obviously, since he was planning to sneak in, the main gate had basically nothing to do with him.

While thinking about Lan Ke, he began to walk around the perimeter of the "Zeyue Building" looking for something useful.

Compared with yesterday, Lan Ke is much more efficient today.

It's not just because he's familiar with the place after having walked through it once, but also because with the help of his 'third eye' he can quickly determine if there are any 'secret passages' or 'mechanisms' nearby. Without any delay, his efficiency naturally increases.

Soon, with the help of the 'third eye', he found the clue.

However, even Lan Ke himself did not expect that the clue suggested by the "third eye" was not on the wall of the "Zeyue Building", but in a building close to the Zeyue Building.

The 'third eye' can grant the user a special vision.

This kind of vision will weaken normal vision, but traps, treasures, mechanisms and clues will become extremely conspicuous. Lan Ke discovered that there was a strange light spot at the door of a closed house near the "Zeyue Building".

In a world without normal vision, the whole world was dark, and the strange light spot that was not originally dazzling became extremely conspicuous. Lan Ke noticed it almost immediately.

Fortunately, although the building was right on the roadside, passers-by were almost all attracted by the "street patrol" and no one noticed him.

When you walk to the door, you will see a traditional Japanese sliding door, and the door lock is a large padlock.

Looking at the lock with the glowing light...or more accurately, the 'keyhole', Lan Ke fell silent.

According to the normal process, or guidance, he should use a wire and try to open the lock, but the problem is that he doesn't have a cat to help him open the lock.

After two seconds of silence, Lan Ke took out a steel pipe from his 'backpack' and inserted it into the 'locking beam', then twisted it violently.

"Click~"

With a slight sound, Lan Ke looked at the padlock hanging on the steel pipe and smiled disdainfully.

As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome. Facts have proved that even if you don’t know how to pick the lock, you can still open the door!

At the same time, it also proves that I have a good eye for choosing equipment, whether it is concealment, lethality or functionality, they are all very good!

In a cheerful mood, Lan Ke put the lock and the steel pipe into his "backpack" and carefully pushed open the sliding door and walked in.

The interior decoration of the building is a standard Japanese single-family house. Directly in front of the entrance is a passage leading to the living room. But before Lan Ke could continue exploring, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from inside.

Looking at the empty entrance, which didn't even have a shoe cabinet, and the closed door, Lan Ke suddenly broke out in a cold sweat...

Chapter 49: Justice from Heaven!

"Da~da~da~"

In the empty room, the sound of wooden clogs knocking on the floor continued to be heard, and along with it, there was a burst of complaints.

"Damn it, everyone's going to see the 'Oiran', and here we are, the two of us, throwing away the trash..."

A young man wearing the standard grey and white uniform of the Zeyue Building was carrying a sack and cursing as he walked, while the slightly older man next to him glanced at him.

"Shut up, finish it quickly and go back soon. Maybe you can still see her. I heard that the 'Oiran' this time is a woman from the southern barbarians."

It was obvious that the middle-aged man knew more than the young man, but as soon as he finished speaking, the young man couldn't help but exclaim.

"Can a Nanman ghost be an oiran?"

ㄚi○ー２贰⑻⒊0⑨叭

"Of course you can. Once you enter Yoshiwara, as long as you are a woman, let alone a southern barbarian, even if you are a daughter of a noble family, you will be treated the same way. But don't blame me for not reminding you, this 'Oiran' is the woman that the 'big boss' has taken a fancy to. However, due to recent matters, he has not yet helped to 'redeem' her. Once the boss redeems her, she will belong to the big boss..."

As the middle-aged man spoke, he walked to the door and handed the cloth bag in his hand to the young man next to him, preparing to take out the key from his arms.

Although the padlock is on the outside, because it is a padlock, you can open the door a little and then pull the padlock in a little before opening it.

The reason for this complexity is to prevent anyone from noticing that the room is mainly opened from the inside.

Just as he put his hand on the door handle, a muffled sound came from behind him.

"Bang~"

The middle-aged man's face changed drastically and he instinctively dropped the key in his hand and reached for the sword at his waist, but before he turned around, a deep male voice was heard.

"I advise you not to act rashly. Put your hand where I can see it and turn it slowly."

Following the deep male voice, the middle-aged man turned around with cold sweat on his forehead, and then his eyes widened instantly.

Because he saw a man wearing a tricorn hat and a strange bird-beak mask holding his companion's knife and pointing a strange black 'stick' at himself.

Although he had never used it, he knew it was something called a 'gun'.

"Crack~"

He raised his hands above his head with great sincerity.

It was not until then that he saw the white cloth bags scattered on the ground and his companion lying on the ground, his life or death unknown.

"This idiot!!!"

Looking at the middle-aged man with an ugly expression, Lan Ke, who had changed into a thief's costume, slowly cut open the cloth bag on the ground with the confiscated long knife, but his brows were furrowed on the face covered by the bird-beak mask.

Because it's really weird.

The cloth bag contained a damaged wax figure.

He really couldn't understand why the two minions from the 'Zeyue Building' would sneak around here through the 'secret passage' just to throw away some 'garbage'.

That's right, Lan Ke, who was standing behind the two of them, had already identified the secret passage in the house through his "third eye".

As for how he managed to sneak attack the two people in the empty corridor?

It’s actually not that complicated.

Relying on his enhanced physical fitness after putting on the "Phantom Thief Suit", Lan Ke used his limbs to support the two ends of the wall and hung directly above the heads of the two men. Then, after the two men passed him, he jumped down from mid-air and knocked out the young man behind him with an elbow.

What if he was accidentally killed?

It was just a shadow anyway, Lan Ke didn't consider it at all.

Fortunately, no accident happened. The knocked down target was not dead, and the other target was also controlled. So the next step was interrogation.

"Tell me! What are these 'things'? Why are there wax figures in the 'Zeyue Building' and why did you secretly throw them away?"

As the saying goes, when something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. Without any nonsense, Lan Ke directly asked about the thing that concerned him the most, while the middle-aged man kept shaking his head.

Lan Ke didn't waste any words. He stuffed the muzzle of the Uzi into the man's mouth and stabbed the man's shoulder with the sword in his hand, nailing him to the wall.

The other party's eyes widened suddenly, but he wanted to scream but could only whimper because of the gun barrel stuffed in his mouth, and Lan Ke also bent down at the right time.

"Don't worry, although it hurts here, it won't damage any of your vital organs or blood vessels. Even if you get stabbed a few dozen times, your life won't be in danger. And I know this location..."

Without finishing his words, Lan Ke just scanned the other person's body without saying a word, as if he was looking for a place to cut.

The middle-aged man quickly shook his head to indicate that he would not shout. Only then did Lan Ke pull out the gun barrel.

The middle-aged man's face was wrinkled with pain, but he didn't dare to make a sound. He could only let out a few quick gasps. Unfortunately, even the gasps didn't last long, because the low, devil-like whispers rang in his ears again.

"Speak, you only have one chance."

"These are the collections of the 'Big Boss'. However, as time goes by, these collections have become outdated, so the 'Big Boss' asked us to clean them up and throw away the unnecessary ones to make room."

Collectibles? Make room?

I haven’t heard that Ze Yuezhi likes wax figures?
