Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

Looking at Pixie with a silly smile on her face, Lan Ke couldn't help but sigh. These so-called "demons" seemed to be much easier to understand than humans.

However, there was something important to do right now, so he didn't waste any time and gave the order directly.

"I'm going to climb up. Help me attract the enemy's attention. Once I'm done, I'll use the 'Persona Switching' method to retrieve you."

"Okay~ Leave it to me~!!"

Because of Lan Ke's previous promise, Pixie was full of energy and flew in another direction without even waiting for Lan Ke to say "start".

Lan Ke also quickly hid his body and waited for the "signal".

Suddenly, Lan Ke felt as if something was missing in his body, and he knew that Pixie had taken action.

With one hand, he fumbled with the empty face.

"Please, Mandala."

With a soft moan, a smaller girl with flowers on her head and wrapped in leaves appeared behind Lan Ke and landed gently on the ground.

"Leave it to me~!"

Although Mandragora is slightly larger than Pixie, it looks weaker, perhaps because of the legendary setting that it makes a wailing sound when it is pulled out.

Mandragora's combat power is very weak, and his "characteristics" are very subtle. He is a "personality mask" with almost no presence in the game.

But this is not the case in reality. Even the weakest "personality mask" or "secondary demon" can give Lan Ke a lot of help in certain aspects with the help of its own special abilities.

For example, even if Mandragora doesn't use any skills, the roots and vines it extends can be used as ropes, which is perfect for climbing walls.

Although it is impossible to pull Lan Ke to the top floor directly due to lack of strength, it is enough to lend a hand in certain situations.

For example——————now!!

The 'Zeyue Real Estate Building' is covered with extremely gorgeous decorations, which not only bring a gorgeous effect but also are very suitable for climbing.

However, the lowest part is nearly 7 meters high and has no decorations at all, so it is very difficult to climb up with bare hands.

However, Mandragora used its root-like arms to climb up little by little, while Lan Ke only needed to climb to the top decoration like climbing a vine.

After using the method of switching "personality masks" to retract the mandala, Lan Ke suddenly jumped up, grabbed the decoration, and crawled upwards quickly.

In Lan Ke's view, the 'Zeyue Real Estate Building' or the Zeyue Group is 'all show and no substance'. However, the gold outside has helped him a lot. Even though Lan Ke is not good at rock climbing or extreme sports such as parkour, he can rely on the strong physical fitness provided by the 'Phantom Thief Suit' to climb up directly.

The 'Zeyue Real Estate Building' in the 'palace' is taller than the outside, but it is less than 100 meters. In less than 10 minutes, Lan Ke reached the top, but when he was close to the top, a gust of wind blew and almost blew Lan Ke down.

"Tsk~ It turns out it's not that easy to sneak away."

Obviously, although Lan Ke skipped many unnecessary combat links with the help of his ingenuity, the BOSS room was indeed not that easy to enter.

He had actually tried it once before, but at that time Lan Ke didn't think much about it because the 'Heart Lock' in the last room was still there. But now it seems that even if the blockade of the last BOSS room is unlocked, it will only pry open a crack in the opponent's 'psychological defense line'.

However, Lan Ke didn't care too much about it. Instead, he used his "third eye" to find the vent and pried it open to get into the building.

Because the 'alert value' reached 100%, there were a lot more shadows during this patrol, but Lan Ke had already made a plan for this.

"Eternal sleep!!"

The male nightmare wielding a ram's horn appeared behind Lan Ke and waved his hand violently. The patrolling shadow in front instantly stumbled, and Lan Ke swung the metal pipe and hit the man in the face with a fierce blow...

Chapter 55: The Dark Shadow Emerges from the Water

The Zeyue Group's 60th anniversary celebration was even more lively than expected.

It is not only because of its good position in the "real estate industry", but also because the current head of the family, "Ze Yuezhi", is very capable. After he took over the management of the real estate company, the Zeyue Group, which was originally only a small group, has continued to develop, and its subsidiaries have also involved in multiple industries.

Now we have finally touched the edge of a 'large conglomerate'.

Relying on Ze Yuezhi's good popularity, even consortiums with average relationships would not refuse his invitation.

But today's banquet seems a little different from previous ones.

Although the banquet had not officially started, most of the participants gathered in groups of three or four, drinking wine and chatting, but in addition to normal business exchanges, one topic was often mentioned.

That was this morning's 'preview letter'.

Although Lan Ke's writing skills are average, the words in the preview letter combined with the special status of Zeyue Real Estate alone sparked a lot of discussion.

In fact, the situation in the banquet hall was quite reserved, but it caused quite a stir on the Internet and in the outside world.

You know, the reputation of the Zeyue Group is quite good, especially some people who know Zeyuezhi said that this is all nonsense.

But just as everyone was chatting, suddenly everyone's attention was drawn over there.

A man in a white suit walked into the banquet hall.

The reason why he attracted everyone's attention was not only because his height of over 190cm made him stand out in the entire banquet hall, but also because his young and handsome face and the figure shown by his slim suit made many people present instinctively suck in their stomachs.

①○ 辷㈡⑵仈彡澪⒐/

Of course, because of this extremely obvious feature, everyone recognized the other party's identity at the first moment.

Jotaro Kujo, President of the Neon branch of Joestar Real Estate Company.

Although the Joestar Group's focus is not on Japan, it is indeed a dragon from another country. Who wouldn't want to make friends with it unless it involves their own interests?

Suddenly many people began to get restless.

At the same time, some people noticed the two young men following behind the other party.

There is no need to say much about Kudo Shinichi's appearance. He inherited his handsome father and superstar mother, and he looks like a real gentleman in a suit.

As for Lan Ke on the other side, he looked much duller. After all, his hair of strange color looked a bit weird even with hair wax on it.

Lan Ke was somewhat helpless about this, but he was no longer full of complaints as before.

After learning the name of his "father", he also made a special investigation. He then found that the investigation went unexpectedly smoothly and he could even find information directly on the Internet.

David Antonio Zeppeli, a Chinese-Italian mixed-race, with 1/4 Italian ancestry, successfully completed his medical doctorate at the age of 26 and was invited to join "Doctors Without Borders" and is active around the world.

Twenty years ago, he was invited to the Sinai Peninsula, and twelve years ago, he died in a refugee camp due to an "accidental bombing" along with his wife, a nurse. He was buried in the cemetery at the MSF headquarters.

Although the other party's papers were not numerous because they focused more on clinical practice, each paper received good reviews. Even Lan Ke, who was also once a genius doctor, felt that he had gained a lot after reading them.

It can be said that the father of this body is undoubtedly an "admirable man", not to mention that Lan Ke himself was once a doctor.

So when Lan Ke realized that the yellow hair that looked like a failed highlight came from such a man, his little complaint disappeared, replaced by pride.

Of course, it will still cause misunderstandings for those who don’t know Lan Ke’s background.

As for the glasses on his face, they were originally just placed in his schoolbag. Since they were plain glasses, Lan Ke instinctively put them on, hoping to add some "literary temperament" and make himself look less conspicuous.

But because he had seen 'David' in Jotaro Kujo's palace, Lan Ke realized that these old-looking glasses were most likely 'David's' relic. So Lan Ke took them off and put them in a glasses case for safekeeping. The glasses he was wearing at this time were new.

Perhaps it was because Lan Ke was usually too casual, even though he had seen his 'new image' before, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

"What's wrong, Kudo?"

"No, nothing. I was just wondering if you could convince Mr. Kujo to bring us here. I heard that Mr. Kujo doesn't like this kind of banquet..."

While lowering his voice, Kudo Shinichi also stole glances at Jotaro Kujo, as if he was afraid that the other party would notice him.

Lan Ke couldn't help laughing at this.

"Although Mr. Kujo is quite strict with himself and others, he won't take his anger out on others for no reason. After knowing what we did, Mr. Kujo agreed without hesitation, so don't worry."

Compared to Kudo Shinichi who deliberately lowered his voice, Lan Ke could be said to be "plotting loudly", and Jotaro Kujo who was standing next to him naturally heard it.

However, he did not express any opinion on this. He just turned his head to look at Lan Ke and said nothing more.

Although it was just a glance, it made Kudo Shinichi's hair stand on end, but fortunately it was just a glance.

He was willing to believe what Lan Ke said, but even though he understood it, he still instinctively gestured to Lan Ke to go aside and confirm the 'action plan'.

Although it is an action plan, it is actually very simple.

Kudo Shinichi plans to take the initiative to contact 'Zawa Yuezhi' to see what the situation is with this 'third suspect'.

But when talking about this matter, the other party seemed a little too excited?

At first, Lan Ke felt a little strange. Could it be that the other party had also locked onto Ze Yuezhi?

But the other party's next words revealed his true thoughts.

"By the way, Narukami, what do you think of that 'preview letter'?"

It was obvious that what really excited the other party was that the 'suspect' and 'thief target' were concentrated on one person at the same time.

In this regard, Lan Ke said——————

"I don't know, what about you, Kudo?"

Speaking of this, Kudo Shinichi became excited.

"I have some ideas..."

As he spoke, Kudo Shinichi took out his cell phone and pulled out the photo of the 'preview letter'.

"I think this so-called 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts' must have determined that Ze Yuezhi is the culprit in the previous series of cases!"

Kudo Shinichi came to a conclusion right away, which left Lan Ke stunned.

Could it be that the other party has found some crucial clues?

Looking at Lan Ke's surprised expression, Kudo Shinichi laughed instead.

"Don't look so serious. I'm just explaining the 'warning letter'. Although this group of people calling themselves 'Phantom Thieves' seem to have determined that 'Ze Yuezhi' is the culprit, and they may even have some clues that we don't know, I won't be swayed by their judgment. For me, only 'evidence' will not lie!"

Although Kudo Shinichi is still immature now, it is undeniable that he is a better detective than he imagined.

It's really not shaken by external things at all~

Kudo Shinichi had no idea what Lan Ke was feeling, he was just sharing, or showing off, his discovery.

"Continuing with the previous topic, I came to this conclusion because the first sentence of the notice contained the terms 'lust incarnate' and 'public enemy of women'. It's clear that there's a connection between this and the case we're currently investigating. But as I said, I won't prejudge someone as a criminal until I find sufficient evidence."

"But then they claimed to have found evidence of Ze Yuezhi's crimes. I've already reminded Officer Megure of this and asked them to investigate cases related to Ze Yuezhi. But it's the last sentence that interests me the most."

"'Cut off the cycle of sin', 'take away twisted desires', I think they're referring to some crucial piece of evidence..."

Hearing this, Lan Ke silently breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that although Kudo Shinichi's reasoning ability was outrageous, it was limited to reasoning, and at least it did not involve metaphysics.

In fact, there was nothing special about this "preview letter". He simply wrote down "why he did this" and "what he planned to do next" on it.

However, since he did not understand "cognitive science", he naturally could not guess that Lan Ke was going to physically take away the other party's "desire" next.

But when he thought of this, Lan Ke couldn't help but move his shoulders.

Although it was just a small action, it caught Kudo Shinichi's attention.

"Nothing. I met Busujima-senpai this morning, so I asked her for advice."

Faced with Lan Ke's explanation, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but recall the figure of the other party falling from the sky to save him that night.

"Take care of yourself and don't hurt yourself during training."

"Don't worry~ I have a great body~!"

Looking at Lan Ke showing off his muscles to him, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but think of his childhood sweetheart.

In the past, Kudo Shinichi never cared much about "force", but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was because he always acted with his childhood sweetheart, and when he really encountered those unethical criminals, he would be killed instantly by them.

At first he had some thoughts. After all, as a boy, who doesn’t want to protect the girl he loves?

But as the opponent's karate skills became stronger and stronger, Kudo Shinichi gradually got used to it. After all, in his opinion, Xiaolan's case should be considered a "special case", right?

But now Lan Ke has appeared, and he can't help but start to doubt.

Maybe it’s not because they are too special, but because I am too weak?

But he had already tried, and he had no talent in martial arts. Why not make up for it in the areas where he was good at?

Thinking of his own volley that was comparable to that of a professional player, Kudo Shinichi began to ponder...

Lan Keke didn't know that Kudo Shinichi had lost confidence in himself after his wild thoughts. He was actually thinking about the previous round of "testing".

That's right, although Lan Ke's surgeries have always been famous for their "simplicity" and "speed", in order to achieve this effect, Lan Ke has conducted countless simulations in private. He often uses his excellent spatial imagination to build a model in his mind in advance for a "rehearsal", during which he sets up various possible unexpected situations.

But some things cannot be changed by human power, such as his 'last operation'.

This also shows Lan Ke's caution.

Before officially starting the attack, Lan Ke conducted a comprehensive exploration of the 'Zeyue Building'.
