Tokyo Trickster

"I'm leaving!" Xiao Congyu rushed into the bedroom, opened a door and went to the Velvet Room.

Shiomi Kotone took a box of gum from the coffee table and threw it to him, "If you don't brush your teeth, don't kiss me."

"How should I explain this? Vampires eat strange things, probably like they're eating cotton candy?"

“I’m not feeling well mentally.”

"Well, actually I'm about to throw up."

"You...ugh," Shiomi Kotone also fled into the Velvet Room.

Amamiya Ren raised the arm of the "King of Ghost Stories" and thought about how to eat it.

No, in theory there are things that are even more difficult to accept.

He also had to eat the legs of the vampire princess...even though these limbs had perfect proportions, skin as white as ice and snow, and were evenly distributed, and even made of materials that were not fat or protein, but human cognition.

Think of them as works of art made of starch and carrageenan? You must be kidding, my uncanny valley effect is about to kick in.

In order to gain the power to defeat Judas, Amamiya Ren can even temporarily abandon his human identity and choose to become a vampire. It's just the uncanny valley effect... ugh.

Then it started to rain heavily.

(500 words are omitted here, it’s a bit heavy, I will make an unedited version and send it to the book friends group tomorrow.)

......

Tokyo at night is always fascinating.

Amamiya Ren walked among the crowd, as if she was walking in the middle of a pile of walking hot bread.

He felt a little hungry.

Even without a vehicle, he could reach Tokyo in just a few minutes just by running and jumping.

Now Amamiya Ren has become the "King of Ghost Stories" in the truest sense of the word.

Inheriting most of the power of the iron-blooded, hot-blooded, and cold-blooded vampires, his body functions are completely comparable to, or even surpass, those of Orion when he is fully driven.

If he could get Orion back, Amamiya Ren should now be able to control his personality mask to jump up and punch Sakata Kingin in his giant moth form.

Rather, any shadow or hall master that had been seen so far would not be able to withstand such a punch.

I guess you want to say "One Punch Man", Amamiya Ren looked at Cong Yu who was floating beside her.

When Xiao Congyu first came into contact with modern society, she almost turned into a deep-sea whirlpool, violently absorbing the colorful entertainment culture of the information age.

Then he became the sole supporter of Amamiya Ren (crossed out).

Became a new-age homegirl.

The Phantom Thief put on the square-framed glasses given to him by Oshino Yoru...the pair he gave him last time had been thrown into Kamoshida's maze.

The two pairs of glasses also serve different purposes.

The first pair of glasses was designed to complement the deception he learned from Bei Mu Ni Zhou, and its main function was to attract the attention of others.

The second pair of glasses is to cover the vampire's blood-red pupils.

After Amamiya Ren put on her glasses, she exuded the bookish air of a student, like a class study committee member who had no chance of getting into fights.

The scarlet eyes also turned back to a gentle light gray.

That sharp, biting gaze faded into a calmness with a hint of smile.

He walked on the streets of Harajuku, but received no attention from the public, like a ghost shuttling through the cracks of human society.

It wasn't until exactly nine o'clock that the gymnasium next to the tram station closed.

Two beautiful red-haired girls were chatting and laughing as they left the gymnasium before the cleaning lady urged them to. They carried their school bags and walked towards the nearby tram stop.

At this time, a stalled van broke into the pedestrian zone and crashed into the panicked Yoshizawa sisters. As if it was fate, Yoshizawa Sumire almost never took her sisters in taxis or buses during this period, but only walked, rode bicycles or took trams... She didn't understand why she did this, but there was a regretful voice in her heart that kept narrating a tragic future.

The scene she could never forget: at the moment of the car accident, her sister, the girl she always envied, did not run away as the first thing...but tried to find a way to keep her sister alive.

Sumire Yoshizawa felt that this was a chance for fate to atone for her sins and redeem herself.

So no matter whether she was blamed or questioned by her sister, Sumire Yoshizawa chose to endure and be reluctant, and remained firm in her choice.

But even so, disaster still struck them.

She saw it clearly, just as she had seen it countless times in her dreams.

Fang Zexia put her arm around her shoulders without hesitation and tried to push her sister to a safe place.

Yoshizawa Sumire was desperate.

The regret and helplessness in my heart almost swallowed up my rationality in an instant.

"Judas, you deserve to die," Amamiya Ren slapped the driver in the face, whose eyes were wide open and his face was full of anger. Realizing something was wrong, she grabbed the driver's face and found that he was actually dead, but his expression was like this before he died.

"Did you do this too?" He looked up at the night sky, then put the driver's body in place and put its foot against the brake.

Get out of the car, close the door, and puncture the tire.

Then they separated the Yoshizawa sisters who were hugging each other and carried them to the entrance of the tram station.

The elder sister's courage to face death to protect her younger sister, as well as the intense sadness, despair, regret and helplessness in her younger sister's eyes, made Amamiya Renma want to rush back to Naoetsu and fight a life-and-death battle with "Judas" right now.

This thought was fleeting, and he needed more preparation...

Perhaps Judas was watching him at this moment, waiting for his complete defeat after he was ready, and admiring the regret of losing everything.

Amamiya Ren didn't care about these things. He just wanted to drag that bastard who made fun of life to the execution ground and tear him into pieces.

Time resumed its flow.

Fang Zexia felt her hands were empty, "Jin!"

She yelled in panic.

It caused an uproar among the passers-by, but they were looking at the truck that suddenly broke into the downtown area and then suddenly became quiet.

Yoshizawa Sumire rushed to her sister and hugged her tightly, her tears flowing and wetting the fabric on her shoulders.

17-year-old Ace: 181. Being trained to be strange (two in one)

"Ryuji!"

Morgana was jumping up and down, "Save us!!!"

Ryuji Sakamoto hid in the closet and stared with bated breath, even his breathing seemed timid.

A woman in a baseball cap pushed open the door, "Sakamoto, MONA, it's time for class."

Woyan Izuko reached out and grabbed Morgana who was trying to jump onto the ceiling, "Don't cover for him, you just called out his name."

The black cat's eyes widened. "I just called the wrong name."

"In the closet in the second room along the corridor, Sakamoto-san, please come out."

"Yes......"

Sakamoto Ryuji sighed and walked out of the room.

Just a few days ago, this woman named Woyan knocked on the door of the Sakamoto family. I don't know what kind of sweet words she used, but her exaggerated talk made Sakamoto Ryuji's mother, who had just recovered from a serious injury, agree to let Sakamoto Ryuji go out.

Then, he and Morgana were taken to this cram school.

The security door that was kicked open, the dusty hall, and Kitagawa Vsuke tied to the cross like Jesus during his martyrdom.

Sakamoto Ryuji fell to the ground and looked at Kitagawa Vsuke, "Haha, you are here too."

"Keep your voice down," Kitagawa Vjie's face was pale, "that woman is coming back."

"Kitagawa, I hope you can give the answers to the exercises in "Optical Design and Manufacturing" now," the instigator who brought the Phantom Thieves into the cram school was holding the black cat by the scruff of the neck. She was already standing at the door, examining the two people and one cat in the room.

"What's going on? This guy can hear me!" Morgana still didn't understand.

"Amamiya Ren will need your help in a few days... My name is Woyan Izuko..." Woyan Izuko also realized that there was some coercion, but she was very busy, so busy that she didn't even have time to talk nonsense. She simply explained her purpose, "During this time, I will give you special training."

"I can't trust you," Sakamoto Ryuji patted the wall dust on his back, stood up, picked up a chair and was eager to try, "Ms. Woyan, since you want to restrict our freedom, then..."

"Sakamoto!" Kitagawa Vsuke's face turned green with fright. He stumbled and tried to stop Sakamoto Ryuji, but it was too late.

The next second, the boy with dyed yellow hair was pulled by invisible silk threads and turned into "fragments of Sakamoto Ryuji".

Morgana leaped up and was ready to fight to the death with Woyan Izu Lake, and then, under its horrified gaze, those "Sakamoto Ryuji" were pieced together again.

"Oh," Ryuji Sakamoto collapsed on the ground, looking a little dazed.

Morgana stood frozen in place, maintaining his jumping posture.

This was their first encounter with Woyan Izu Lake.

......

"Miss Woyan's cram school," Amamiya Ren used her cell phone to locate the building and walked into an apartment building with a gloomy atmosphere. It was hard to imagine that there could be such a building in a bustling city. It seemed to be isolated from the world.

This is indeed the case. To use a common description in anime, movies and other works, this is the "barrier" that exorcists and onmyojis often use.

I heard that Woyan Izu Lake is giving special training to Sakamoto Ryuji and others, but it seems like common sense would suggest that a few days of practice would not allow for a dramatic improvement in strength.

Since Oshino Yao dared to say this to him, it seemed that he really had great confidence in Lake Izu.

What was the original sentence... "If it was you before you became a vampire, I'm afraid you would have been completely unable to defeat your friends."

He scratched his short black hair, which looked soft because of the melting snow, and walked into the corridor. The sensor lights lit up at once.

Amamiya Ren tiptoed into the only house with an open door.

Let me see what the members of the Phantom Thieves are doing?

He stood in front of the door, silent, looking at the strange lights in the house, wondering if he had come to the wrong place. He really hoped that this was a dream woven by Judas.

【Eye of Fool】Precise feedback, this is reality.

In the spacious living room, Ryuji Sakamoto and Vsuke Kitagawa were arguing fiercely in front of a blackboard, which was covered with densely packed physics formulas written in chalk.

I must be dreaming. Amamiya Ren couldn't help but pinch her arm.

He could accept the hellish physical training that Ryuji Sakamoto and Vsuke Kitagawa were undergoing.

The only thing I can't understand is that these two people still have time to study physics. Maybe there will be such a day, but it shouldn't be so early... You just blink your eyes when you are threatened.

When Amamiya Ren saw Sakamoto Ryuji and Kitagawa Vsuke, they immediately blinked at her as if they had dry eyes.

Okay, it seems that he was indeed threatened. He took off his glasses, and his bloodshot eyes were like burning candles.

"【Chronos World】."

Time was paused. Amamiya Ren turned around and saw Woyan Izuko standing in the darkness holding a broken lipstick. His vampire perception was warning him at a high frequency that this lipstick might hide danger.

A strange story that can kill me who is in time stop? He thought curiously, ready to reach out and grab it. But he took a few steps back when he approached Lake Izu. Not only lipstick, but this guy's body was covered with props that could threaten vampires.

This dress...I'm afraid it's made of holy shroud cloth. Amamiya Ren pulled out the Cong Yu Wan and pressed it against Izuko's throat.

"Time resumes its flow."

The entire cram school was quiet.

Ryuji Sakamoto and Vsuke Kitagawa threw away their chalks and draft books, grabbed Morgana who was lying on the floor calculating the geometric volume of the space, and ran to the deepest part of the house.

"Why are you suddenly grabbing me? Joker is here to save us!"

"If they start fighting, even if I give you nine lives, you won't have enough to survive."

"Ha, I was thinking of going home to paint. If I die like this, my life would be wasted."

Woyan Izuko threw away the lipstick in her hand, made a gesture of surrender, and smiled frivolously. She was obviously an old woman in her thirties, but she was as cheerful as a young and beautiful female college student. To be precise, time did not leave too many traces on her. "Hey, pausing time is really an amazing method."

"'There is nothing in this world that I don't know.' I guess you want to say that next," Amamiya Ren calmly watched as her Cong Yuwan was steadily blocked by an invisible sword.

"Haha, that's right, you guessed it," Woyan Izuko swung his hand violently. Although his strength was far inferior to Amamiya Ren's, he threw him towards the cram school room in an instant.

Amamiya Ren was too lazy to stop and crashed into a wall. After deliberately controlling his body's strength, he didn't even get a scratch.

"Reality has its own rules, and strange stories have their own logic," the expert enthusiastically analyzed to Amamiya Ren in the ruins, "Although I am no match for you in the areas you excel in, I may be stronger in reality."

The Phantom Thief waved his hand and said, "I should thank you first."

"Oh, about vampires, huh?" Woyan Izuko put his hands together, then took out a silver coin and handed it to him, "You might need this. Although I can't just take out thirty coins like that guy named Judas, I went to Jerusalem, Israel, and I still got some results." (For details, see the "Challenge Letter" at the end of Chapter 178)

She adjusted the cap on her head and said, "I am willing to be used by you this time. Now it will be your turn."

"I'll accept it with gratitude," Amamiya Ren promised, "There's plenty of time during the spring break."

"It's hard to say," Woyan Izuko shook her head, "According to your current emotional network, you might not be able to get out of bed for the whole day."
