59. Lock it up in the basement and let's go! (4k)

"Ice Queen!"

"Eros!"

Luo Zhen and Fang Zexia overcame all obstacles and made their way into the luxurious and extravagant love nest-style castle.

The ball queen in gorgeous long dress and the glorious giant loyally cleared the way for them.

Perhaps because Yoshizawa Sumire's palace was just formed, the internal structure is still unstable.

The imaginary space is often connected with the structure of the real stadium, making it even more dreamlike.

Yoshizawa Sumire's desire attracted many shadows, forming many puppet-like hotel service staff and sports stars surrounded by spectators.

Many of the waiters would exclaim "Princess!" when they saw Fang Zexia.

This is the same reaction as the Shadow of Kamoshida Hall when he saw Takamaki An, but the meaning it represents is completely different.

As they went deeper into the palace, the fonts on the propaganda posters became clearer.

The name of the gymnastics champion written on it was not Sumire, but [Yoshizawa Kasumi].

The award-winning video that was played in a continuous loop also reflected Fang Zexia's face.

Luo Zhen saw Fang Zexia remained silent all the way, so he spoke for her:

"It seems Sumire's wish isn't to surpass you, but to become you."

"She wants to be like Yoshizawa Kasumi and adores you as her older sister to the point of jealousy."

"Correspondingly, there's no trace of [Yoshizawa Sumire] in this palace. She loathed herself, avoided it, and felt she shouldn't exist... How foolish."

"Yeah." Xia answered simply.

She stomped the ground with her sharp ice boots, summoning a circle of huge ice crystals around her.

Her personality mask, "Ice Queen", sits in the frosty sky, and with a snap of her fingers, she freezes all the shadows in the ice crystal field into ice sculptures!

In this powerful queen's domain, Yoshizawa Kasumi's expression did not look happy:

"Jin is much smarter than me, and more well-behaved and sensible. My parents always say I'm a wild girl, but they never say that about Jin. They only praise her for being a good daughter."

"I'm proud of Arisumi, this wonderful sister, but I've never thought of being jealous of her. ...No, that would be hypocritical."

"I'm indeed jealous of Sumire, that's why I hope she's jealous of me too."

It's very brave to be able to express your true thoughts.

Luo Zhen nodded in agreement:

"You're also jealous of Sumire. So when you discovered Sumire had an inferiority complex towards you, your sense of superiority made you want that to continue, right?"

Xia pouted: "After all, I am the older sister."

"Jin is better than me in everything else. It would be utterly shameful if I didn't at least get ahead of her in gymnastics, right?"

As she spoke, the girl seemed to feel ashamed, turned her back and walked forward quickly.

This made Luo Zhen unable to stop laughing.

The sensitivity and delicacy of adolescence are fully displayed in these sisters.

But they are indeed good children, and the source of their envy and jealousy of each other is their deep love for each other.

It is because we love each other that we want to keep up with each other.

If only he could help Jin vent her feelings a little more, Luo Zhen felt a little regretful that he hadn't cared more about the girl.

As he continued to attack, he felt that Fang Zexia was quite strong, even by Luo Zhen's standards.

Although it was her first time fighting, her control over the personality mask and her use of her enhanced physical abilities were much stronger than An Takamaki's.

Luo Zhen guessed that this might also be related to the acceptance of one's own power.

Yoshizawa Kasumi awakened perfectly without any adjustment, and achieved inner and outer unity with her own personality mask, as if she was born to be a phantom thief.

This big heart is her best weapon, so it's no wonder she is so outstanding.

What's more, this is the palace of her younger sister, whom she cares about most.

"Come on, Luo Zhen brother."

As the two of them headed towards the master bedroom on the top floor of their love nest, Fang Zexia asked curiously:

"What will happen to these temple masters after we steal their treasures and make them repent?"

"I understand that people who do bad things will repent. But Sumire hasn't done anything bad, you know? She's just under a lot of psychological pressure, and that's why she's introverted. Does that mean nothing will change? She'll just become more cheerful, and everything will be fine?"

Luo Zhen smiled and said, "Of course I will."

He said only this and didn't continue.

As the Phantom Thief's target of stealing hearts, Luo Zhen has basically been people who have done bad things, so naturally they all repent in the end.

But there are indeed some who, due to reasons like love, become stalkers due to excessive reasons.

And for this kind of person, after he steals their heart, there is basically only one result...that is, [forget].

The person involved will forget his or her persistent love, and will not understand why he or she did those extreme things, thus feeling even more remorseful.

Sumire Yoshizawa hasn't done anything extreme yet.

This is also the reason why Fang Zexia immediately brought Luo Zhen to attack her sister as soon as she realized that her sister had a palace.

She didn't want her sister to do something bad on impulse, and she didn't want others to think of her as a bad person.

But Luo Zhen had already thought of it.

If the core of this palace is really Yoshizawa Sumire's love for herself.

After stealing the treasure, Sumire Yoshizawa will probably forget this feeling and won't remember why she likes me at all.

…This must be the right thing to do, Luo Zhen convinced himself.

That little bit of regret remained in his heart, but he buried it in the soil, never giving it a chance to grow.

“—We’re finally here!”

Under the guidance of the experienced Luo Zhen, the two spent about two hours and successfully broke through to the top floor of the palace.

This is a gorgeous bedroom.

In the center is a princess-sized bed covered with a bed curtain, and the dome above the head is incredibly high and covered with crystal pendants.

This is indeed the princess bedroom that every girl would dream of. Fang Zexia was very moved:

"So beautiful... I want a room like this too! And it goes really well with my 'Snow Queen', just like the scene in that movie. Luo Zhen, you should have seen it too, right?"

"Is it the one with the magic sister and the amateur sister? I've seen it, it's quite famous—"

Luo Zhen hadn't finished speaking.

He originally just wanted to chat with Xia and find out where the secret treasure was.

But the next moment, he felt an astonishing murderous intent.

A powerful threat jumped down from the chandelier on the dome, with the sword pointing directly at Fang Zexia!

"Wow!"

Fang Zexia, who hadn't noticed yet, was hugged by Luo Zhen, and then there was a loud bang.

A man in a white cloak split the floor where Fang Zexia was just standing.

Even the wall behind it was covered with cracks, and the destructive power was quite astonishing.

Fang Zexia, who was held in Luo Zhen's arms, was shocked:

"How scary! Is that Sumire's shadow? But it's a man... and that clothing, why do they look familiar..."

"Come on, this one."

Luo Zhen felt a little admiration and a little ashamed, and overall he was filled with emotion.

The man in the white cloak raised his head, revealing a round head without any facial features.

If you look closely, you will find that its body joints are spherical, and it is actually a sophisticated mechanical puppet.

It wore a water bird mask that was integrated with its face, and an ambiguous light emanated from the center of its chest, which was the light of the secret treasure.

Luo Zhen guessed it immediately:

"That's me. The me that Sumire knows within her heart, and the secret treasure of this palace itself."

"It was because of me that the girl started going down the wrong path. ... I will take responsibility."

Luo Zhen let go of Fang Zexia and faced the replica of the doll he made.

If only he could care more about Sumire, or agree to her confession.

Would this have prevented her from suffering and created a palace?

"I'm sorry, Sumire."

Luo Zhen raised the long sword made of compressed light in his hand and took a single-wing stance:

"I will give you freedom now so that you don't have to suffer anymore."

The puppet opposite also took the same stance, even extending two pairs of metal wings from its back.

That was Jin's expectation for Luo Zhen, her imagination of the guardian angel who would save her.

The real and fake swords collided with each other, unleashing an impact that was physically impossible to produce!

This angel doll is as strong as Sumire imagined Luo Zhen to be.

This forced the real Luo Zhen to summon "Eros" to block the thorns shot out from the pair of steel wings.

Steel feathers like cannonballs swept across the wall, leaving the palace riddled with holes!

Fang Zexia was also suppressed by the impact and could hardly get close, so she could only open her eyes with difficulty.

At this moment, she shouted loudly:

"Brother Luo Zhen, be careful! The doll's chest is glowing!"

......What?

In this close-range struggle, Luo Zhen had no time to deal with this strange change.

He watched as the palace's secret treasure glowed, and another creature jumped out from the puppet's chest...

one person? !

Under Luo Zhen's astonished gaze, Fang Ze Jin actually jumped out of the secret treasure!

She's entered her own inner world! Is this true?!

Even in this chaotic situation, Yoshizawa Sumire raised her hand as soon as she looked up.

--Snapped! ! !

She slapped Luo Zhen in the face, shocking both him and Yoshizawa Kasumi.

"Don't make decisions for me without my permission!"

Sumire's tears flowed with scorching heat:

"What do you mean by taking the wrong path? What do you mean by taking responsibility?... Did I ask you to take responsibility for me?!"
