Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

Looking at the busy police, Kudo Shinichi stood by the glass wall with his hands in his pockets, staring outside the building, as if looking for someone.

It is obvious that although he has solved many problems, there are still many problems left, and he is continuing to think and try to solve these puzzles.

Compared to Kudo Shinichi's relatively smooth decryption, Lan Ke encountered unexpected troubles.

Relying on the inhuman physical fitness enhanced by the 'Phantom Thief Suit', Lan Ke escaped from the encirclement with his incredible mobility. According to his original plan, he should have entered the 'Impression Space' and then returned to the building.

But for some reason, when he took out his phone and prepared to use the 'Other Dimension Navigation', it showed that he could not enter the 'Impression Space'.

what is happening?

It can't be that the system bug was caused by the forced exit before, right?

Cold sweat began to appear on Lan Ke's forehead...

Chapter 63: Boiling Beastly Blood

'Extra-dimensional navigation' can be said to be the basis for Lan Ke's series of bold operations, or to put it bluntly, the basis for his magical transformation. The impact of losing 'extra-dimensional navigation' on Lan Ke's plan is self-evident.

But fortunately, his usual calmness prevailed at this time.

First of all, the "Alternative Dimension Navigation" shows "Unable to Start" instead of "Navigation Failed". The situation is somewhat similar to when he was blocked by Josuke Higashikata in Jotaro Kujo's hall. After the other party left, Lan Ke could use it normally.

In addition, when he asked his assistant at that time, "Will using the extra-dimensional navigation involve passers-by?", the other party clearly expressed a negative response. According to the other party, this world is extremely special, and in order to cross the "impression space" and the "material world", one needs to obtain a "pass".

Now, the only one who has, or is born with, a "pass" is Lan Ke, whose soul comes from another world.

Anyone else who wants to obtain 'Another Dimension Navigation' must obtain permission from Lan Ke before using it.

Could it be that……

Lan Ke suddenly thought of a possibility.

If the previous departure of 'Higashikata Josuke' can be regarded as 'leaving the battle', then the fact that he is now unusable doesn't it mean that someone is watching him?

Lan Ke couldn't help but narrow his eyes under the mask.

Although he wanted to return to the building as soon as possible, he couldn't leave any "little tail" behind. Thinking of this, Lan Ke turned around and rushed in a certain direction.

There is a shopping mall there that is closed at night. Once you enter it, if someone wants to monitor you, they must get close to you, otherwise they will likely lose you. At that time, you can take this opportunity to force out the person who is following you, or take the opportunity to escape.

Thinking of this, Lan Ke couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Just as Lan Ke quickened his pace, he suddenly heard a wailing sound coming from a nearby alley.

"No!! Don't!!"

Lan Ke’s first reaction was—————Did that kid Kudo Shinichi use his powers?

It was not surprising that Lan Ke had such thoughts. After all, he had already "traveled through time" for a few days, and no matter how hard he searched on the Internet, he could not find any serious cases. But today, as soon as the other party attended the banquet of the "Zeyue Group", Ze Yuezhi, the "president" and also the target of the thief Lan Ke, was shot in the head.

Kudo Shinichi is simply a "president killer". Once he unleashes his power, at least one of the "presidents" will die.

Considering that the number of homicides in Mika, or Tokyo, was at a normal level before, it can also be understood that the "God of Death" is still "sealed", and today it has caused a big incident.

Not only did the president die, but he was killed in an extremely exaggerated manner in front of everyone.

On the other hand, it doesn't seem unacceptable that I encountered a suspected murder scene on the way 'back'?

Although he knew that the Tarot correspondence did not have a literal meaning, Lan Ke still couldn't help but complain.

"Why isn't Kudo Shinichi a Death God?"

Although he had a lot of strange complaints in his mind, Lan Ke did not slow down at all but instead quickened his pace. However, when he arrived at the scene, he was stunned for a moment. After all, the scene was too chaotic.

If I had to make an analogy, it would be something like this: when I came over, I saw Busujima Saeko beating up the yellow-haired guy!

To understand the situation, we must go back a few minutes.

Just as Busujima Saeko and Lan Ke said, she needs to serve as a "tutor" in some families that have a good relationship with the Busujima family on weekends.

It is obvious that although she is admired by her classmates as the 'real Yamato Nadeshiko', her life is actually more complicated and boring than they imagined.

There is no holding a teacup in the courtyard to watch the snow and listen to the rain, only constantly waving the bamboo sword in the dojo.

Although they also learn things like "flower arrangement", what they face is not romance, but a strict "teacher".

Even on rare holidays, she had to run around to maintain relationships with other families, instead of just hanging out with friends on the shopping streets like other girls...

However, Busujima Saeko was worthy of the name "Yamato Nadeshiko". Not only did she overcome all these "trials", she also never complained about it.

Because she knew very well that the reason why she was able to concentrate on studying kendo was entirely because she was born in the "Dushima Family". Since she enjoyed the convenience brought by the "Dushima Family", she must also pay a sufficient price.

She is not one of those rebellious teenagers who says "I don't want help from my family" but actually relies on her family for everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation.

But she was a little strange tonight. After leaving her student's home, she did not go to the station, but instead walked towards a road that she rarely walked on.

That road is much closer than the usual one, but because it passes by an old-fashioned park, many people spend time there during the day. However, because the supporting facilities are rather old, the lighting is dim, and even people who live nearby will not hang around there at night.

Busujima Saeko naturally wouldn't come here normally, but today she came to this park for some unknown reason.

Why choose this path?

Busujima Saeko wasn't quite sure either, but when she saw a drunk man walking towards her, her breathing suddenly became heavy, and she even felt as if the blood in her body was boiling.

Of course, it’s not that she has any strange XP, because her eyes showed an emotion that was completely opposite to it - tyranny.

In fact, this is not the first time such an idea has emerged.

Two years ago, before she entered Teitan High School, her kendo had almost reached a bottleneck. At that time, she was full of hope for a breakthrough, but she became extremely irritable inside. Although she still practiced kendo diligently every day, the strange thing was that the "sword" that had always been with her seemed to have abandoned her and did not receive any response.

At this moment she suddenly remembered something from the past.

At that time, she had hit a bottleneck in her swordsmanship, and her father invited many friends to come and "reminisce" in order to help her break through this bottleneck. However, it was more like helping her find a way to break through than to reminisce.

Although my father has always been very strict with me and rarely praises me.

But she could still clearly feel her father's concern for her.

This was nothing, or even a good thing, but the problem was that she accidentally overheard her father chatting with his friends that day.

He said that if his daughter was born in ancient times, she would definitely become a female swordsman who would go down in history, because she not only has the talent for "sword" and the "determination" and "perseverance" to persist, but more importantly, her sword has a special talent, that is, the talent of "swinging the sword" when facing the enemy.

Although Kendo is not without practical combat capabilities, it is indeed slightly inferior to swordsmanship in this respect. The core of swordsmanship is actually very simple - killing your enemies.

As for how to kill your enemies, that is the difference between each school.

She undoubtedly possesses such a talent.

She is more suited to wielding a real sword than the bamboo sword she uses for training.

At that time, the other party may have just sighed simply, but Busujima Saeko, who overheard it, remembered it in her heart.

Later, she thought more than once, what exactly was missing from her as a 'swordsman'?

At this time, it seemed as if a voice was echoing in her mind.

"A sword is a weapon of death. Its presence brings about killing. If you haven't even slashed a real person, how can you become a true swordsman?"

Although her reason eventually prevailed, the price she paid was that she had to spend more energy to suppress her inner demons.

And it was at this time that a man came to visit his father.

That’s right! It was Fujimura Taiga who was admitted to Teitan High School.

Busujima Saeko didn't know what the two of them talked about, but when he left, it was the first time that she saw her somewhat old-fashioned father show such a helpless expression.

Afterwards, she asked her father about it, and his answer was very simple - because she was someone he had to look up to.

Eventually, Busujima Saeko found Teitan High School and challenged Fujimura Taiga.

The ending is self-evident. When she shamelessly asked Fujimura Taiga to use all his strength, she suffered the most brutal defeat in her history of practicing kendo, even more miserable than the first time she picked up a bamboo sword to challenge her father.

But after being stunned, her originally agitated mood seemed to calm down.

In the end, she chose to join Teitan and study under Fujimura Taiga until today.

The boiling animal blood seemed to have fallen silent, until——

"Saeko, this is a good seedling I found for the Kendo Club. You must keep an eye on him and don't let him get away."

That was the first time she looked Lan Ke in the eye, and it was also from that time that she began to feel curious about Lan Ke.

Although the first time she fought Lan Ke in the kendo club, she simply thought that Lan Ke had good talent, but that was all. However, as Lan Ke got up without hesitation every time he was defeated and his strength improved, Busujima Saeko felt as if something in her body had awakened.

Is it the expectation for the younger generation?

At least that's what Busujima Saeko thought. She felt that her boiling blood came from her desire for kendo.

At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten that the blood seemed to boil again when she touched the scar on Lan Ke's body that she had created with her own hands.

In the end, she took the initiative to invite Lan Ke to work in her gym. This was her first step in trying to "cultivate" Lan Ke.

But now she was not facing Lan Ke, but a strange drunk middle-aged man who was walking away, and her originally rapid breathing gradually slowed down.

It was not until this moment that Busujima Saeko suddenly woke up.

She began to realize her abnormality.

'Am I expecting to be attacked?'

Although becoming a 'Yamato Nadeshiko' was her father's request, Busujima Saeko did not resist it, so when the idea of ​​rebellion appeared in her mind, Busujima Saeko seemed a little panicked.

Feeling something was wrong with her, she unconsciously quickened her pace and walked towards the station.

But at this moment, footsteps were heard outside the dim light.

This wouldn't be a big deal, but Busujima Saeko instinctively squeezed her shoulders, which made her look even more impressive while also making her height, which was much taller than her peers, seem a bit smaller.

Just as Busujima Saeko finished her 'disguise', the figure finally appeared in the dim light.

With yellow hair, a height not much shorter than Busujima Saeko, a pretty good-looking face, and expensive clothes and bags on his body, he seems to be a rich young man at first glance. It's a pity that with that strange smile on his face, he always gives people the feeling that he is a monkey in human clothing.

Unlike Busujima Saeko, who was proficient in kendo and had sharper senses than ordinary people, and who was always alert and could spot strangers when they were more than ten meters away, the boy with yellow hair did not notice Busujima Saeko until the two of them got closer.

This was nothing, but when he noticed Busujima Saeko's "human heart" that was superior to others, his eyes, which seemed to be looking up at the sky, instantly focused on Busujima Saeko.

However, as the two passed each other, the other party instinctively showed a lost expression, but soon he seemed to realize something, looked down at his own clothes which were different from usual, and instantly mustered up the courage again.

"Wait a minute!! Miss, it's not safe to walk alone this late. How about I walk with you?"

Looking at the strange man who suddenly came up to her, Busujima Saeko's breathing became heavier. Her eyes turned red and she bit her lips as if she was suppressing something.

"No..."

Hearing the trembling and gasping sound of Busujima Saeko, Sawagen Taisuke was obviously a little surprised. After all, the sound sounded too strange.

Suddenly, he thought of someone, the man who called himself his 'grandfather'. He seemed to have heard a similar voice when the man was taking him to 'broaden his horizons'.

'Could it be that……'

In an instant, images from countless strange booklets emerged from the depths of his mind.

Then he couldn't help but look at Busujima Saeko's hand, as if he was looking for something that looked like a "remote control". Unfortunately, he found nothing, but looking at his excited look, it was obvious that he had identified something.

"Miss, are you okay? How about I help you get some rest..."

As he spoke, he tried to imitate his 'grandfather' and put his hand towards Busujima Saeko's buttocks.

If it was a few days ago, he would never have done such a thing, but now it is different. Not only does he have a new identity, but he has also tried before. Most things in this world can be settled with money, just like the woman he met today.

She was initially dismissive of herself, but when she noticed her bulging wallet she smiled brightly.

I had been pursuing my girlfriend for more than half a year and they had only held hands, but that woman went to bed with me without hesitation after just the first meeting.

Thinking of the previous feeling, he felt that even the blood in his brain was gathering in a certain direction.

At this moment, he didn't even notice that his eyes were slightly red due to abnormal congestion.

As the hand got closer, his breathing seemed to become heavier, but he never expected that before he could touch the so-called "Peach Blossom Land", Busujima Saeko grabbed his wrist.

The breathing sound that had been getting heavier as he approached seemed to return to normal at that moment, and then he heard a sentence that was completely beyond his expectations.

"You're the criminal Narukami-kun mentioned who attacked strange girls nearby, right?"

Busujima Saeko's words made Sawano Taisuke stunned for a moment.

The criminal who attacked a strange child?

Unfortunately, before he could deny it, Sawaga Taisuke felt a sudden pain in his wrist. He couldn't help but bend down to reduce the pain in his wrist, but because of this, his center of gravity lowered, and before he could react, he felt that his whole body was spinning in the air.

"boom!!!"

"what!!!"

The pain from his back hitting the hard ground made him scream.
