Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

Lan Ke really didn't expect that he would be associated with this name again.

After all, he was not really interested in Ito Makoto's love history, and the reason he got in touch with him was simply to "steal his heart". Lan Ke didn't even specifically inquire about what happened between the two afterwards.

But he never dreamed that he would see this here.

But why would the wax figure of Ito Makoto's girlfriend appear in this extremely special wax museum, 'Sawakoshi Palace'?

According to his previous speculation, these 'wax figures' should correspond to women who had been raped by the other party...

Is there something wrong with my reasoning?

Lan Ke, standing in front of the 'Xiyuanji World Wax Figure', fell into deep thought.

Just thinking about it, his expression became more and more ugly, and then he suddenly took out his mobile phone and dialed up some basic information about 'Zawa Yuezhi' sent by Kudo Shinichi.

For example, the other party’s basic family situation, such as parents, spouse and children.

Soon, he found the wax figure of Ze Yuezhi's "official wife" surrounded by a large number of "trap wax figures".

Finding this made things easier, as he soon discovered wax figures of the other person's sisters, his aunt when she was young, and even his daughter-in-law nearby.

In particular, his aunt 'Ze Yueba' has more detailed information on the Internet than Ze Yuezhi.

After all, Ze Yuezhi, the nominal owner of "Ze Yue Real Estate", actually does not usually take charge of the company's affairs. Instead, his aunt and wife Ze Yueba is mainly responsible for the company's affairs. She is also the person who appears most frequently in various reports and is a remarkable woman who has become a legend in the Japanese business world.

Lan Ke's mind was resisting an answer, but his increasingly ugly expression seemed to reflect his inner thoughts.

His reason kept reminding him that if the two were just a simple father-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, then the other party would never be dressed so revealingly.

In other words, even if there was nothing, Dan Ze Yuezhi must have been spying on the other party, otherwise such a strange wax figure would not have appeared in his "palace".

Still unsure of the answer, Lan Ke simply returned to the place where the numerous 'incomplete wax figures' were previously located. He then discovered that among those unfinished wax figures, there seemed to be more than just the 'World of Saionji'. Lan Ke even saw 'Saber' wearing a nun's uniform! !

However, compared to the heroic Saber in Lan Ke's impression, the unfinished wax figure of 'Saber' looked softer. The compassionate expression on her face did match the nun's uniform on her body, but combined with the image in Lan Ke's impression, it looked very strange.

However, no matter how weird it was, after looking at so many wax figures, Lan Ke came up with a conclusion that he thought should be correct.

Those completed "wax figures" should be the women that Ze Yuezhi succeeded in getting by various means, while those unfinished wax figures should be his next targets.

Once the work is done, the 'wax figure' should also be completed and become the other party's 'collection'.

Thinking of the fanaticism and excitement shown by the "Shadow of Ito Makoto" before, Lan Ke couldn't help but feel sad for him for a moment.

I'm afraid Makoto Ito would never have imagined that Ze Yuezhi was spying on his girlfriend?

While expressing his feelings, Lan Ke was also thinking about another question.

Why is it that in a "palace" with "Yoshiwara" as its main body, the other woman exists in the form of a "wax figure"?

Lan Ke didn't know, but he was very curious.

But even so, he didn't waste too much time on it. After all, as long as he defeated the opponent, he would probably get the answer.

After expressing his feelings and taking photos of the "wax figures" in the core area for record keeping, Lan Ke walked towards the door without looking back.

Although this wax museum is theoretically very important, as long as it can be matched one by one with the people in the outside world, then after careful investigation, the clues missed by Ze Yuezhi can be found. After all, the reason why there are no clues now is purely because he is too casual in looking for targets. He does not care about age, identity, clothing or even body shape. As long as he likes someone, he will take action. Apart from being "good-looking", he can't find any similarities at all.

It's even true that the other party only had sex with those women once, and it's estimated that they won't contact each other again in the future.

But once we can find people who are closely related to him, we may be able to find a breakthrough from these people.

After all, according to his own assistant, the only person in the world who can truly hypnotize is probably himself.

You know, theoretically Lan Ke can change a person's thinking through "physical" means.

But the problem is that this method is too inefficient. It requires one-by-one comparison and screening before an investigation can be conducted. However, Lan Ke, the 'Phantom Thief of the Heart', has a simpler method!

'Stealing Hearts'

As long as you complete the "stealing of hearts", seize the other party's desires, and make them reveal their crimes, then all this will end!

This 'high-rise of sin' belonging to the other party will also collapse.

But just as Lan Ke was looking around trying to find someone he was interested in, he suddenly noticed that vines were growing on one side of the wall of the room.

Although this 'Zeyue Building' is a mixture of various architectural styles, at least this floor belongs to the standard modern architectural style.

In this environment, the vines covering the walls looked particularly strange.

But Lan Ke quickly reacted.

This may be what is called a 'hidden room'.

'Hidden rooms' often contain powerful monsters, but they also hide something very important - the Desire Stone.

If the 'secret treasure' is the source of the palace owner's twisted desires, then the 'desire stone' is the product of the ever-growing twisted desires.

Generally speaking, a palace has three "desire stones".

Before, Lan Ke was only focused on advancing the progress and did not deliberately search for treasure chests.

After all, although he hoped that his already empty wallet would be fuller, he did not forget that "saving" more talents was more important than his own wallet.

But not searching deliberately doesn't mean he will give up the good things in front of him.

Without any hesitation, he pushed the door open and walked in.

Reserve Junyang 6

Vines like those outside the door covered the walls, and the originally normal walls were cracked inch by inch under the clinging of countless roots.

The 'green' that should symbolize life instead makes people feel extremely eerie in this strange space, coupled with the strange pink gem floating in the middle of the room.

The reason why it is weird is, firstly, because it emits a strange pink light. You should know that minerals that can naturally glow in nature basically have excessive radiation. Secondly, it has a strange shape. One side is curved, and the other two sides are irregular concave and convex surfaces.

Obviously, this should be the "Desire Stone" that Lan Ke guessed.

But the strange thing is that even though the treasure is right in front of him, Lan Ke has no intention of going to take it out. Instead, he pulls out the "steel pipe" with a serious face and observes his surroundings carefully.

The 'palace' will attract shadows to settle in. Among them are those who act according to normal logic like in Jotaro Kujo's 'palace', but more are those who are completely crazy under the influence of twisted desires.

This is the core of Ze Yuezhi's "Palace" and also one of the most twisted places in this "Palace".

Lan Ke didn't believe that there was no "shadow" lurking here.

Sure enough, when Lan Ke opened his 'third eye', he saw an obvious bright spot on the ground near the 'Desire Stone'.

In the game, monsters guarding treasures will stand there waiting for challenges, but monsters in reality are not so rigid. For example, the "elite monster" that Lan Ke encountered was undoubtedly planning to attack him while he was taking away the "Desire Stone".

However, a trap discovered in advance is no longer a trap, and the positions of both parties are reversed.

Lan Ke raised his right hand without wasting any time, and then a strange creature wearing a black feather robe and a hood stretched out a slightly thin arm from under the robe.

Then, amidst the rising flames, Lan Ke, holding a steel pipe, swung it fiercely at the jumping shadow.

"boom!!"

Because Lan Ke could not find the passage to the next level, and he had just found the "palace" and was ready to start the attack.

Lan Ke, who had been killing monsters in the "Impression Space" for a while, was planning to become a "Shilipo Sword God" and level up to the highest level before rushing out to crush all enemies, but he encountered "Ze Yuezhi" on the way.

Although he could no longer experience the 'Shilipo Sword God', he basically won over the low-level 'Personalities' he encountered in battle, which was a complete opposite to the trepidation he felt on the first day.

Therefore, this is the first time since he awakened his 'Personality' that he has not had an advantage in terms of power.

“Ahhh~!!”

Amidst a sharp and piercing wail, a burning root emerged from the flames and swept towards Lan Ke. Lan Ke quickly turned around to dodge, but the burning root obviously did not intend to let Lan Ke go and followed him again.

Seeing this, Lan Ke suddenly let go of the steel pipe in his hand.

Is this a sign of giving up?

of course not!

Two silver lights flashed, and Lan Ke, holding several scimitars between his fingers, threw them directly towards the shadow in the flames among the flying root fragments.

This time, there were no further attacks from the flames.

As the flames gradually died down, Lan Ke, who was about to collect the 'trophies', saw a short, humanoid 'demon' with 'flowers' on its head.

Although he had never met him before, Lan Ke recognized him immediately - Mandragora.

No wonder he let out such an exaggerated scream when he set the other party on fire with the 'Flame of Hell'.

Seeing that the opponent looked weak, Lan Ke also had the idea of ​​"recapturing" the opponent.

Although the attributes of 'Mandala' are average, its characteristics are useless, and it has little presence in the 'Concave Mask', but even if it is to satisfy his own 'collecting habit', Lan Ke can't help but want to collect the 'Demon' that he doesn't have.

Compared to the madness in the flames before, Mandela, whose arms had their roots cut off by Lan Ke, was now filled with fear.

Although Lan Ke squatted down to allow the other party to see him better, the oppressive 'Phantom Thief Suit' coupled with the somewhat weird 'Bird-beak Mask' made Lan Ke look more like a monster running out of a horror movie.

But just when Lan Ke was about to perform a three-part routine of "Give me strength/Do you have money/Props are the best", he discovered that the flower bud on the head of "Mandela", who originally had a terrifying face, suddenly burst open.

In an instant, a pink breath swept towards Lan Ke.

Although the "bird-beak mask" itself has a certain air filtering ability, it is obvious that this filtering is limited.

Lan Ke immediately summoned Pixie and tried to continue the pursuit.

After all, compared to "Lamer" who needs to "read the bar" to use skills, Pixie who can directly consume electric shock is faster. Even if the pink smoke has DEBUFFs such as coma and confusion, Lan Ke can also consider letting Pixie attack himself directly.

Sometimes low attack also has its advantages.

But just as he was about to give the order, he suddenly felt that the Mandela in front of him seemed even more lovable than he had imagined?

Lan Ke suddenly felt his body getting hot...

Chapter 51: The Crystallization of Twisted Desire: Desire Stone

Lan Ke is certainly not a saint, he also has his own "desires". He is just an ordinary person with a moral standard slightly higher than that of ordinary people.

In addition, he has been fond of various animations and games since he was a child, so his XP range is naturally wider than that of ordinary people.

Whether it is to pacify the world or to gather people's hearts, he welcomes everyone who comes;

He doesn't dislike traditional literary girls or passionate carnivorous girls;

As for things like elves, dragon girls, and mechanical maids... he doesn't mind as long as they suit his aesthetic taste.

Or to put it more simply, Lan Ke likes any cute girl!

But no matter how much he likes it, in Lan Ke's opinion, the biggest difference between humans and beasts is that they have "rationality".

If you completely obey your desires, what is the difference between you and a beast?

So even if he occasionally saw cute girls, Lan Ke would basically look at them with admiration, just like an ordinary person seeing a work of art and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

When Lan Ke felt the blood in his body begin to boil and gather towards a certain part of his body, he instantly realized that something was wrong.

Without any hesitation, Lan Ke pulled out a scimitar from his waist and stabbed it into his thigh!

"!!!"

The intense pain made Lan Ke unconsciously clench the hilt of the knife, but at the same time it also awakened him from the abyss of desire.

Looking at the ferocious face of 'Mandula' in front of him, accompanied by a stream of blood, the scimitar that was originally stabbed on Lan Ke's thigh was all embedded in the forehead of 'Mandula'.

“Ding~Ding~”

With the crisp sound of coins, Lan Ke sat down on the ground.

It was not until then that Pixie finally realized what was happening and pounced on Lan Ke.

"Master?! What's wrong with you?!"

Although their first encounter was not pleasant, Pixie did not have any resentment towards Lan Ke because he was already in a violent state at the time. He could even be said to be quite grateful to Lan Ke for helping him get out of that state... Of course, it would be better if he could use a gentler approach.

And when Lan Ke found out that it was very easy to improve the other party's favorability, and that all he needed were fruits, honey, flowers and the like, Lan Ke naturally would not be stingy.

After all, even if the "devils" who have become his "persona masks" will obey his orders unconditionally, there are obvious differences in their enthusiasm. Through Lan Ke's experiments, the higher the favorability, the harder the "persona masks" will fight.

Pixie, who has a good relationship with Lan Ke, saw that something was wrong with Lan Ke, so he rushed to Lan Ke's side immediately.

She opened her palm and placed it on Lan Ke's forehead, and suddenly a bright green light appeared.

There was no doubt that the opponent was trying to use 'Patra' to remove Lan Ke's abnormal state, but Lan Ke knew very well that 'Patra' could only remove dizziness, amnesia, sleep and hunger.

The little hand, which is softer than a human's, was pressed tightly against his forehead, and Lan Ke could clearly feel the other party's undisguised concern.

But at the same time, a faint floral scent emanated from the other person...
