Tokyo Trickster

"Fox, this is Skull." Sakamoto Ryuji scratched his greasy short hair, wiped his hands on the trouser legs of his suit with disgust, "Have you found any clues there?"

In a bar somewhere in Shibuya, Kitagawa Vsuke, wearing a pink suit, makeup and colored contact lenses, was wandering among a group of gorgeous girls. Due to his clear understanding of his own personality, he simply pretended to be mute and only responded when messages came from the wireless headphones.

"I'm stuck. These women are too troublesome." Kitagawa Vsuke distributed the starch tablets packaged as medicine made by Takemiya to customers as originally planned. He didn't care at all that the other party might find out that it was a fake... Shiomi Kotone was mixing cocktails behind the counter. The wall clock next to her showed a confusing pattern, and the shaking of the wine glasses and bottles also made regular sounds.

Araragi Koyomi stood outside the bar, stopping the high school students passing by one by one and stuffing flyers into their hands that said "Special High-Paying Temporary Jobs" on the front and "Be Careful in Transactions, Beware of Scams" on the back.

The bar was in a chaotic atmosphere, with the flickering lights filled with an air of luxury and beauty. Sitting behind the counter, Kotone Shiomi tossed a cocktail shaker playfully. Her looks made all the dancers on the stage next to her pale in comparison. The gang members who were enjoying themselves or the "shoppers" who were covering their faces ignored her. "Give me a vodka."

A masked burly man said this in English. Judging from his skin color, he should be a black man. Shiomi Qinyin nodded, took out a pistol from the drawer, pointed it at his forehead, and said, "Here's vodka. Pay for it."

The man calmly put a stack of banknotes on the table and said, "Give me some wine, please."

Shiomi Kotone pulled the trigger, but it was against her own temple, "Persona."

[Opros] appeared in an instant, waving its huge violin and smashing the "black man" in front of it into a ball of black mist.

They successfully entered the palace of Junya Kaneshiro - there was no specific location, the entire Shibuya was the area covered by his inner desires.

Through their actions in reality, several members of the Phantom Thieves have integrated into Kaneshiro Junya's cognition as "employees." "Skull, what is the outside world like now?"

"'Fukuzawa Yukichi' is floating everywhere." Ryuji Sakamoto caught a banknote that fell on his head. He looked up at the dim sky, where a huge bank was suspended, and the brilliant golden light was as vast as the scorching sun.

"The bank is flying," Araragi Koyomi looked up at the bank in the strong wind.

By the way, as a new member of the Phantom Thieves, he chose the code name Gomi (which means "garbage" in Japanese), and the surname "Araragi" is pronounced Koyomi, which is sometimes heard as Gomi due to accent problems, which may be a coincidence.

There is no special meaning in using "garbage" as a code name. He just thinks that saying this code name can make the enemy relax their vigilance.

"Let's begin the action." said Xijian Qinyin.

"Eh, aren't you waiting for the boss?" Ryuji Sakamoto said in surprise.

"He's gone to fight the Boss," Xi Jianqinyin flipped over the counter, and in her hand, she had an S-shaped sword. "We can take care of the dungeon."

“I always feel a little uneasy.”

"You can't beat me together."

"I feel relieved now."

"Hehe." Xijian Qinyin pushed down the shadow blocking the way. It was an ATM machine with two legs and two feet.

They stood on Shibuya Central Street and looked up at the bank in the sky.

The human-shaped shadows in the bar chased out, and Kitagawa Vsuke waved his hand, and the bright silver ice crystals formed sharp slashes that tore them into pieces.

......

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Takuto Maruki was arranging the bouquets of flowers.

Amamiya Ren carefully looked at the layout of the store and said, "I want to buy some roses."

Maruki Takuto looked at the Yoshizawa sisters who were whispering to each other at the door, with a strange expression, "I understand."

He took out a pair of scissors and began to select the best red roses for packaging. "Young people should still exercise moderation."

"Thanks for your concern," the thief put away the gift box containing the roses, "Business here is a bit slow."

"It's okay. I'm ready to change jobs." Maruki Takuto smiled gently, like a close friend, but there was a hint of pleading in his tone. "I'm going to be a mental health doctor on campus in the future. If you encounter any confusion in your study and life, you can come here to find me for free consultation."

"You really won't mislead the students?" Amamiya Ren spoke irrelevantly, like an old friend who had not seen him for a long time. His eyes were a little cold.

"This is my professional field." Maruki Takuto seemed to be reminiscing. By the time he picked up the knowledge about "cognitive science" from the treasure trove of his memories, the thief he met in Tokyo two years ago had disappeared.

"Goodbye." Amamiya Ren hugged the beautiful twin girls on his left and right, and he only left such a hasty and simple farewell.

Maruki Takuto stared at his back and finally laughed helplessly.

He pushed up his glasses. "Are you really going to stop me after all? This is a warning... Amamiya-san, you are turning a blind eye to the increasing number of disabled people and this and that tragedy... Well, it's actually the adults' fault. It's really despicable to shift the responsibility of society onto children."

The once famous researcher closed the shutter of the flower shop, picked up his briefcase and stood in the deserted alley. "The Phantom Thieves of the Minds have their own justice, and I have my own ideals... Let's meet at the intersection at the end of the road."

The sound of the early spring wind plays a clear farewell song.

Maruki Takuto had disappeared from the spot.

The world's cognition began to correct itself quietly.

"Huh? What are these roses?" Fang Zexia looked at the gift box in the plastic bag that Amamiya Ren was holding.

"This is Xia," Amamiya Ren picked up a rose and handed it to her, "This is Sumire," the bouquet of flowers was given to Yoshizawa Sumire.

"The movie is about to start, let's go faster."

"Yeah!" The three people's date continued, and no one remembered that they had passed by a flower shop.

The names of the victims who died tragically as a result of the cripple program and recorded their experiences were quickly flipped through in the corner of the memory space.

On this day two years ago, a boy who claimed to be "Batman" broke into Maruki Takuto's dark world. Traveling to the past because of Judas, he wanted to find his "Butler" but accidentally awakened "Robin".

The author says:

17-year-old Ace: 218. The most desperate episode

It's a really frightening movie.

Amamiya Ren sat in the chair, looking at the camera lens facing her face with an expressionless face.

"Nao, have you had enough fun?"

The white-haired girl held the camera in her arms and sat down next to Yoshizawa Sumire. "How do you feel about the news headline "Famous writer Kurusu Akatsuki has a new twin girlfriend"?"

"got used to."

Yoshizawa Kasumi and Yoshizawa Sumire's smiles were somewhat forced, and it was obvious that they were not mentally prepared to accept a scandal of this magnitude.

"Do you want me to take you home?" Amamiya Ren looked at the Fangze sisters.

"I think you should send this person home first." Nao Tomori pointed to the corner of the cinema.

The eldest daughter of the Okumura family booked the entire theater and sat alone in the front row. No one in the entire theater disturbed them.

Now I can explain the embarrassment of the two girls, because they have never seen such a big scene.

In fact, Amemiya Ren was also very puzzled. He had already walked along Goro Akechi's daily route several times, took over the evidence of Kaneshiro Junya's crime, bought flowers with the Yoshizawa sisters and even watched a movie, and also made an appointment with Nao Tomori to shoot a news album, and by the way won the affection of Haru Okumura.

The whole day is almost over, where is Goro Akechi? How can he hold back from making a move? Don't say that "Amamiya Ren" is not on your list of useless people.

Amamiya Renichi thought that maybe there really wasn't any, after all, Shido Masayoshi was now begging for his support.

Even if he becomes a useless person, we have to wait until he loses his "value".

Then I saw Goro Akechi carrying his schoolbag and getting into a taxi outside the cinema.

[I found you] He took out his phone and pointed it at the rear of the car. Sophia controlled the camera and took a lot of photos. "Connecting to the traffic network, the other party's coordinates have been locked. Predicted direction..."

The thief put away his phone and hailed a taxi, "Let's go to the Metropolitan Police Department in Shitaya District."

Regarding Nao Tomori's proposal, he gave a better solution: let Haru Okumura send the Yoshizawa sisters home.

Nao Tomori has to work, and Ren Amamiya also has to work.

The wonderful boy-girl date finally ended.

Next up is Phantom Thief time.

The taxi stopped in front of the Metropolitan Police Department. Amamiya Ren hurriedly avoided the surveillance cameras, dived into the crowd, and walked into a restroom in a nearby shopping mall. A comic convention was being held in the mall. A few minutes later, "Batman" walked out of the convention venue, with a series of flashing lights behind him.

I happened to meet Goro Akechi who was walking out of the Metropolitan Police Department and buying coffee from a roadside vending machine.

Goro Akechi turned pale in an instant, and his memory went back to two years ago. A "Batman" of similar build to the man in front of him once blocked his way.

That was his first time to perform "disability transformation", and the first time he felt the control of "superpowers" over reality. He felt that he could do whatever he wanted, as if he could do anything... When leaving the impression space, the "chosen one" found that a man in black armor was blocking his way.

"Who are you?" Goro Akechi stepped back cautiously.

"I am BatMan." Batman came up and punched him.

"who are you?!"

"Bat, Man," Batman's punch sequence.

"Who are you?" Goro Akechi remembered that he spoke in English.

"......" Batman actually stopped, and after a long silence, "I am BatPerson."

Another violent attack.

"Robin Hood!" Goro Akechi swallowed a mouthful of bloody saliva and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Orion!" Batman got excited and shouted. A burly man appeared out of nowhere, grabbed his collar and smashed him into the wall, making it impossible to button him up.

“Ola Ola Ola Ola!!!” This is the battle cry of the personality mask.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaah!!!” This was Goro Akechi's cry of pain as he lost his mind.

It was two years later that we met again.

After being tortured by Toru Adachi and Yuu Narukami, Goro Akechi's legs were trembling. He looked at the Batman in front of him, and finally gritted his teeth. The impression space covered them, and the personality masks were being released.

"Robin Hood!"

Just like back then, "Orion!"

Perhaps because the intervals between beatings were prolonged, or perhaps because he felt that he had grown a lot, Goro Akechi completely forgot the strength that "Batman" should have.

Just like that year, he was punched into the wall.

A violent storm of punches and kicks was accompanied by thunderous war cries.

At this time, Goro Akechi's clothes were still wrapped in bandages, and the fractures in his legs had just healed...

He completely lost consciousness amidst a heart-wrenching scream.

I have to say that Goro Akechi is truly a talented person. No matter how hard he is beaten, he can still get up from the hospital bed and insist on carrying out the goal of "disabling" arranged by Shido Justice.

Amamiya Ren didn't dare to beat him to death, as this was the only clue to finding Yaldabait. Seeing that he lost consciousness, he left the image space with satisfaction. All he had to do was to prevent this guy from continuing to disrupt the situation in the Mind Palace, and his goal would be achieved.

A beautiful female investigator with silver-gray hair, carrying a briefcase and wearing high heels, stood in front of Amamiya Ren, "Have you seen this guy?" In her cell phone was the ID photo of Goro Akechi.

Batman shook his head.

"Goodbye." She seemed very busy, but hurriedly answered a phone call, her tone a little impatient, "Really, I don't have time to fool around with you, go study quickly, I have work to do."

"Sister, I..."

"Be obedient!" She hung up the phone and rushed back to the Metropolitan Police Department building.

17-year-old Ace: 219. New Island Fake

Shinjima is investigating the truth behind the "mass aversion to learning at Shujin High School" on the streets. She follows senior Murata, who has recently gained a bad reputation on campus forums, all the way to the "Pink Crystal" jewelry store in Shibuya.

By the time she walked in and stood at the door of the store looking inside, she realized something was wrong, but it was too late. The gang member dressed as a salesman kicked her in the back.

The student union president stumbled into the store, someone put a sack on her, tied her up and took her through the back door, and then put her into a low-key van in an alley.

"Where are you taking me?!" Niijima struggled.

Murata, with a bruised face, sneered at her, "Of course that's where you should go, President Niijima."

“…” Niijima remained silent.

"I heard that your sister is a famous beautiful prosecutor in the public security department." This was an unfamiliar voice, with arrogance and indifference, like a fly stuck on a crown, filth and meanness attached to nobility.

"I'm so lucky to come across such top-quality stuff." The sack on his head was opened, and Shinjima glared at the man in front of him with gritted teeth.

He was short and fat, with a pair of gloomy eyes on his round face, iron nails in his earlobes, and an open-collared suit shirt that was bulged out by his fat belly. His expression was arrogant, yet with a hint of uneasiness.

The pair of vulture-like eyes fell on Shinjima Shinjima, showing the respect a predator has for his food. He showed his respect by instructing his men to use a camera to capture Shinjima Shinjima's face and then started recording.

During the entire process, no one had any excessive contact with Shinjima, and even the body search was done by Murata, who is also a woman.

Niijima is really a beautiful girl in every sense of the word, but Kaneshiro Junya has long passed the stage where he needs beauty to fill the void in his heart. He only believes in money.

Everyone could betray him except money.

In this world, money can do everything.

In Jincheng Junya's eyes, Shinjima Niijima is just a commodity with a certain ability to resist. In transactions involving money, integrity is the most important link. Since he treats Shinjima Niijima as a commodity, he must ensure that she is intact.

Niijima Yeong-an is a famous female prosecutor, and there are countless men pursuing her. But Kaneshiro Junya is not interested in her body, he only wants money.

He would not consider what means the two beautiful sisters would need to use to collect the money he asked for. He would not consider the process, but only the result. If they could not pay, they would have to accept his exaggerated loan sharking agreement and become a tool for Jincheng Junya to make more money.

"Where are we now?" Jincheng Junya looked at his subordinates.

"It's still two kilometers away from the exchange." The burly man answered respectfully.
