Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

Although Lan Ke really hopes to find a new "palace" to attack, after all, although the "palace" is difficult, the rewards are also higher.

But as a doctor with medical ethics, he could not allow the "patient's" "condition to worsen" for personal gain, so he went to Zeyue Building early in the morning with the "warning letter" he asked his assistant to make last night.

I walked through it yesterday, and the experience from Impression Space Street was smoother than I expected.

As for issuing the notice letter, it was also extremely smooth. After all, the place where he issued the notice letter was the office of "Zeyueba", and there was no police control or surveillance there.

After leaving the "warning letter", Lan Ke took the tram to the "Impression Space" to look for Ze Yueba's "shadow".

When Lan Ke entered the other person's independent space, the other person seemed very depressed at first glance, just like an ordinary housewife who had lost her backbone. She kept muttering, "Stop, don't leave me, don't leave me, as long as you don't leave me, I can do anything."

If Lan Ke didn't know the whole story, he might have treated her as an ordinary woman who lost her husband. But when he thought of everything Ze Yuezhi had done, Lan Ke's trace of pity disappeared.

He decisively pulled out his cane, and this action seemed to declare the start of war. Zeyueba, who had been standing there in a daze, instantly fell into hysterics.

"It's all your fault! You're the one who killed Zhi!!!"

While roaring, the opponent's 'shadow' completely transformed into a 'demon'.

A strange monster whose upper body remains human, but whose lower body is beastly and covered in animal skins.

Everything went as expected, with almost no surprises. Even the monster transformed by the other party's "shadow" was almost the same as Lan Ke expected - a ghost.

A monster that does not exist in the original work, but in Lan Ke's opinion is the most similar to the other party.

It may sound a little strange, but it actually refers to the "accomplice" in "to be an accomplice to a tiger".

According to legend, people who are killed by tigers cannot be reincarnated, but instead of taking revenge on the tigers, they help them murder other people. There is even a record in "Jianhang Notes" that "even tigers will not eat their own cubs, but their minions will do the same", which means that minions will even lure family members to be eaten by tigers.

This is undoubtedly very consistent with what Zeyueba did.

She was indeed innocent at first and was a victim of Ze Yuezhi's runaway desire.

However, under Ze Yuezhi's influence, the other party's heart also twisted. At first, he tried to resist, then gradually became indifferent to him, and finally even helped Ze Yuezhi deal with troubles...

Even the families of people related to some companies and small consortiums acquired by the "Zeyue Group" were "tortured" by Zeyuezhi, which cannot be said to be completely unrelated to Zeyueba.

But in the face of the other party's accusations, Lan Ke seemed disdainful.

"It was indeed me who made your husband 'change his mind,' but it was his actions over the years that killed him. He was the one who actually pulled the trigger, and you who indulged him!!"

Lan Ke's cold and emotionless words were like a bullet that instantly hit Ze Yueba's shadow.

"Shut up!!!"

Lan Ke's undisguised ridicule naturally made Ze Yueba, who was already angry, even more crazy.

The beast-like palm stretched out its sharp claws, and Lan Ke decisively summoned the "Skeleton Warrior" to block in front of him.

"Stab it~~"

With a harsh friction sound, the sharp claws scratched across the shield, and Lan Ke, who was standing behind the "Skeleton Warrior", raised his cane without hesitation.

"boom!!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

The burning hellfire instantly ignited the animal hide on her body, and she let out a miserable scream, but Lan Ke showed no mercy. He stabbed the tip of his staff through the gap between the skeleton warriors and hit the opponent's nose.

Because he has been working hard to improve his assistant's favorability recently, Lan Ke has also looked up a lot of information related to cats. Among them, the nose is the weakness of most cats.

As expected, the effect was outstanding with just one strike!

The battle went more smoothly than expected. Under the strict defense of the 'Skeleton Warrior', Lan Ke felt that the blocking rate was definitely more than 50%. He just didn't know whether it was because the opponent was too weak or because he had increased his favorability.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that this is more reasonable. After all, reality is not a game, and whether you can block the enemy's attack is definitely not a simple probability.

Not only that, animal skins are also a first-level flammable material. The "henchmen" were at a disadvantage in both attack and defense and were defeated in just a few minutes.

As the 'minions' and 'mars' dissipated, Zeyueba's figure reappeared.

The other person sat on the ground helplessly, looking no different from before.

But in fact, Lan Ke could clearly feel that the original "anger" in the other person had disappeared, replaced by sadness and pain, and at the same time he could hear the other person's constant mumbling.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Looking at the miserable Ze Yueba, Lan Ke shook his head helplessly. He hated the saying that 'there must be something hateful about pitiful people' or 'there must be something pitiful about hateful people'. There was no causal relationship between the two things. Instead of forcing the two to be linked together, Lan Ke felt that it would be more appropriate to directly analyze what they had done.

Now that the "change of heart" has been completed, the shadow brought about by twisted desires has completely dissipated.

His work was theoretically finished, but Lan Ke still had one thing he cared about.

"Do you have any clues about the guy who shot Ze Yuezhi last night?"

"Sorry, I don't know, because there are too many possible people..."

Ze Yueba's frankness made Lan Ke quite helpless, but he had no choice but to wave his hand to signal the other party to leave and confess his guilt as soon as possible.

But when Lan Ke picked up what the other party dropped, or more accurately, the "polymer of residual energy from the shadow's defeat", his expression suddenly became strange.

Ito Makoto's shadow dropped a pair of panties, and although Ze Yuezhi's shadow didn't drop anything, or rather, the 'secret treasure' with charm ability was the opponent's drop, unexpectedly, Ze Yueba's shadow dropped a set of tiger-striped women's underwear.

"What's going on with this family? If other family members have shadows, I wonder if they can drop the 'Pink Massager'..."

While complaining, Lan Ke put it away.

Although he will definitely not use this thing, who knows, maybe he will have female teammates in the future?

Lan Ke, who had no idea that handing the equipment to the other party might be more troublesome than dropping the equipment, put it into the prop box and left.

He has a lot to do today. In addition to the shadow of Ze Yueba, he also needs to deal with the shadow of Busujima Saeko.

At that time, Lan Ke was full of confidence. In his opinion, he had even conquered the "Palace". Before, neither Ito Makoto nor Ze Yueba's shadows had caused him much trouble.

How could the shadow of a palace that hadn't even taken shape stop him?

But soon, Lan Ke paid the price for his arrogance.

Full of confidence, he found Busujima Saeko's 'shadow' and then kicked the iron plate, no!

It should be on the steel plate!

Compared to the strange shadow transformed by 'Zeyueba', the 'shadow' transformed by Busujima Saeko's shadow is much more familiar——————Rakshasa!

In Buddhist legends, a monster that is hostile to Buddha, is good at disguise, has a violent personality, and will attack humans.

From a certain perspective, it is indeed very similar to the situation of Saeko Busujima.

First, the other person's appearance is extremely deceptive. Second, beneath the seemingly beautiful face lies a violent heart that could break free from the cage at any time.

Search: Eight Moles, Ants, and Tung Blossoms

Although the other party had acted so cruelly because of the "criminal", it was already a sign of losing control.

But what happened next was somewhat beyond Lan Ke's expectations.

He tried his best but couldn't defeat the opponent. Even if the opponent had not maintained a certain degree of self-control and did not stop Lan Ke when he retreated, even if Lan Ke could have escaped in the end, he would have been in a very embarrassing state.

Afterwards, Lan Ke, who was no longer arrogant, thought carefully and realized that from some perspective, "Rakshasa" was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

First of all, Rakshasa ignores gunfire attributes and is resistant to physical and fire attributes. The only two attributes it is weak to are 'wind' and 'holy'.

Lan Ke currently does not have any "personality masks" that are good at wind attributes, not to mention that the other party also has the skill to reduce wind attribute damage.

As for angels with the "Holy" attribute attack, they are more inclined to assist, and attacking is not an advantage.

The attributes itself are enough to restrain Lan Ke, and the opponent also has the ability to automatically recover blood, so Lan Ke’s most shameless "burning blood flow" is ineffective.

Even the 'Charm (Humanoid)' that came with the 'Lust Gem' he had just acquired could not control the opponent for long. It would be automatically released once attacked. The only effect of this skill on the opponent was to help Lan Ke regroup.

Even according to Lan Ke's tests, the opponent's patience seemed to increase as he used it more and more times.

Not only that, the opponent's level is obviously higher than Lan Ke's.

He is weaker than his opponent in terms of direct strength and has no control over his opponent. Even his basic attacks seem to have moves, making him look like a "swordsman master".

Lan Ke was beaten to the point of losing his temper. In the end, he had no choice but to retreat and consider changing the strategy to attack.

Shinichi Kudo didn't know that Lan Ke was so busy so early in the morning, but he noticed that Lan Ke seemed a little disappointed, and he felt in a good mood instead.

"Looks like I wasn't the only one who had trouble sleeping last night~"

At this moment, he had no idea how well Lan Ke slept last night while holding the cat.

But at this moment, Kudo Shinichi's cell phone suddenly rang. He took out the phone and glanced at it habitually, then his eyes widened instantly.

It says 'Takagi Wataru' on it!

That's right, it was Takagi Shigeru who contacted Kudo Shinichi. After all, this job was tedious and seemed too unreliable at first glance, so naturally no one else was willing to take it, and it was finally pushed to Takagi Shigeru.

Kudo Shinichi didn't care about this. He just needed a tool to help him enter the password.

"Kudo-kun! The darkroom is open!!"

Just a few simple words made Kudo Shinichi's eyes widen instantly, and then he didn't care about Lan Ke and Mao Li Ran and started asking quickly.

"Who cracked it? Could it be that awesome... police officer with the airplane haircut?"

"Dongfang-kun? No, no, it wasn't cracked by anyone..."

After taking a look at Josuke Higashikata who had just entered the dark room to search, Takagi Wataru silently took two steps away.

He had only heard rumors about Higashikata Josuke before, but after seeing a few unlucky guys who had to apologize for messing up other people's hairstyles, Takagi Wataru felt that he needed to cover up for Kudo Shinichi, a minor.

But Kudo Shinichi doesn't seem to like waiting.

"Could it be the 'exhaustive method'?"

The so-called exhaustive method means trying each number one by one from the beginning.

Of course, manual testing is too intensive. In the absence of the "lock-up due to incorrect input within a certain number of times" scenario, using a machine to test directly is the fastest method.

It’s a pity that because I don’t know how many digits the password is, I have to try from the beginning, which takes a lot longer.

"No, it was 'Ms. Zeyueba' who opened it."

"?"

Thinking of Ze Yueba who seemed sad last night but was actually not moved at all by the police, Kudo Shinichi had more and more questions in his head.

At this moment, he even wanted to skip class and go directly to the 'Zeyue Building' to find out.

"what happened?"

"Let me tell you."

Faced with Kudo Shinichi's questioning, Takagi Shigeru was about to say something, but his cell phone was taken away from him. Takagi Shigeru was about to say something, but he was stunned.

Because he found that Josuke Higashikata's expression was a little... scary?

It's not that I've never seen someone get angry before. For example, a captured prisoner called Josuke Higashikata's hairstyle look like "cow dung". At that time, several seniors had to work together to hold Josuke Higashikata back.

But what about today?

But it is completely different from before.

The other person had a stern face and a serious expression, seemingly unsmiling, but he exuded a cold aura, and his eyes revealed endless murderous intent, making him look a little scary.

Josuke Higashikata didn't know that he had scared his colleague, but he was indeed in a bad mood at the moment.

The 'darkroom' was not very big, and there were only some cabinets inside.

At first, Josuke Higashikata suspected that some account books or something were hidden there, but when he opened the cabinets, he was completely stunned, because there were boxes of different sizes in the cabinets.

The items inside include but are not limited to rings, earrings, lipsticks, accessories, etc., which are relatively common female items, and even include hair.

At that time, Josuke Higashikata felt very unwell.

After all, it was he who had originally suggested that the suspect in the "serial female assault case" might be collecting the victims' personal belongings. The guy he caught at the time was even more perverted. He would cut off one of the victim's hands for collection, and when the hand began to rot, he would abandon it and look for new victims.

Just then, his other colleagues found a notebook.

At that time, Higashikata Josuke suspected that this was most likely not an account book.

Sure enough, when I opened it, I saw a lot of names written inside.

Among them was even a very famous female singer, whom his mother had loved very much when he was a child.

In addition, in the last few pages, I saw the names of the wife and daughter of the unlucky man who was exposed to be wearing a hat at the banquet. Because of the previous joint investigation, Josuke Higashikata was deeply impressed by this name.

In other words, the names recorded in this notebook should all be those of the 'victims'.

Looking at the thick notebook, one can imagine the anger inside Josuke Higashikata.

After all, his wife was the girl he happened to rescue when he first came to Tokyo a few years ago. If it weren't for him, the other party might have had the same miserable experience.
