Tokyo Trickster

"Shiomi Kotone, Sophia, Amamiya Ren—" He shook his head, "What a rare meeting. Unfortunately, this grand performance is still missing a guest."

He seemed to be recalling a bad experience. Even the Joker didn't like Yuu Narukami who got "infinite blue bars" and achieved unlimited release of [Tens of Thousands of Proverbs].

"I'm so lucky to meet you who hasn't fully grown yet," said "Junya Kaneshiro" who seemed to have his personality wiped out by the clown with a sinister snicker, "If Amamiya Ren was here too, he could..."

A punch so fierce that it was louder than the sound landed on the side of "Junya Kaneshiro"'s face. No one knew when Amamiya Ren appeared.

It was not until "Kinjo Junya" flew backwards and crashed through dozens of walls that Amamiya Ren's sneer was heard.

"Are you calling me?"

17-year-old Ace: 228. "Sub-Element Slash"

"You shouldn't..." "Junya Kaneshiro" had just stood up when Ren Amamiya rushed to his side. Orion swung out a violent punch, shattering the entire wall and the ground.

"Jincheng Junshi" has disappeared without a trace.

"【Chronos】." Amamiya Ren flicked the black captain's hat that he had picked up from somewhere, and the five-second time stop was activated.

He immediately stopped vampirizing after he finished throwing the punch.

There is not much "human" left in the body.

"Junya Kaneshiro" and his personality mask are above Amamiya Ren's head.

It was a huge half-human figure, its entire body made of flesh and blood, with the lower limbs twisted into those of a giant fly, and its ferocious mouthparts were about to pierce Amamiya Ren's head like a spear.

Orion grabbed its mouthparts, broke them off, and stabbed them through its chest like a spear.

Then hold its head and pull it down hard -

Amamiya Ren had already drawn out the Souma Maru and performed a standard Iai Slash on the falling Beelzebub. This was to prevent it from having the ability to regenerate at high speed, and to use the characteristics of the Divine Sword to destroy its heart and brain first.

In order to successfully escape from Xiaozhongda's spiritual palace, he had already consumed too much physical strength and energy. He could not continue to fight with this strange shadow. As he thought, [Orion] had already started punching and kicking the remains of [Beelzebub].

The five-second time stop ended, and the incarnation of the plague, whose personality mask possessed the physical characteristics of a cow, a sheep, and a fly, was instantly shattered. "Junya Kaneshiro" retreated with a scream, Ren Amamiya kept a certain distance from him, and [Chris] transformed into a dozen golden spears and stabbed him.

At the same time, the Phantom Thieves of the Mind began to retreat under the leadership of Kotone Shiomi.

They took the now abstract elevator back to the upper area.

"Senior, you should be able to drive, right?" Sakamoto Ryuji pushed Shinjima into the driver's seat of the motorcycle. "I heard from a friend before that you seem to have a driver's license."

Shinjima opened her mouth and said that one can only take the driver's license test at the age of 18, and she was still a few months away from that... although she could indeed ride a motorcycle.

Before she could say anything, Shiomi Kotone had already grabbed her arm and ran wildly on the red carpet in the sky.

Sophia's retreat route was more fantastic than theirs. She simply found a computer and got inside it, then started running around in their phones.

"You want to go find him?" The almost exhausted Kotone Shiomi threw the S-shaped knife in her hand to Sakamoto Ryuji, "Take this with you, it may help you a little."

Shiomi Kotone held down the restless Araragi Koyomi and Kitagawa Vsuke, "You and the cat should explore the surroundings of the palace as much as possible while ensuring your own safety. I will leave with Niijima-senpai first."

The boss should be able to escape, right? Araragi Koyomi looked at Kitagawa Vsuke.

Yes. Kitagawa Vsuke nodded. He is our trump card.

Morgana was so anxious that he wanted to follow Sakamoto Ryuji in to help Amamiya Ren. For a moment, he ignored the way Shiomi Kotone addressed him.

"Mona, don't run around," Kitagawa grabbed its scruff, "Trust the boss."

"We..."

Araragi Koyomi sighed, "If even Amamiya can't do anything, then it's useless for us to attack together."

"Skull is gone!"

"He is invincible, but you are not."

......

The ace they mentioned is currently fighting to the death with "Junya Kaneshiro".

Amamiya Ren found that this guy was really difficult to deal with.

It seems like I know a lot about myself, but also it seems like I know nothing about myself.

Combined with the clown's makeup and the personality mask, it can be concluded that it was definitely the work of Judas.

For example, "Junya Kinjo" knows that Amemiya Ren possesses [Orion] and [Chris], and also knows that he has Soumamaru who can kill evil spirits, but he knows nothing about [Chronos] who can stop time, and doesn't even know that he can become a vampire.

Ten seconds of subjective perception. This is the time Amamiya Ren left for herself.

If he exceeds this threshold, he will completely and irreversibly lose his human identity and become a vampire in concept and cognition.

So......

In the ten seconds when time is paused.

Holding the "Yanma Sword" formed by the overlapping of Shinto, Yume and Soumamaru, Amamiya Ren cut "Kinjo Junya" into pieces.

Time resumed its flow.

The entire space was like a piece of glass that had fallen from a great height to the ground, full of cracks and shattered pieces.

“‘Dimensional Slash’.” He said so.

But before he could fulfill his chuunibyou fantasy to his satisfaction, Beelzebub's ability finally erupted.

The abstract plague turned into a real thing, and it became a torrent rushing towards the already exhausted Amamiya Ren.

And at this moment――

The iron chain rubbed against the ground at high speed, making a sharp roar.

The young man wrapped in flames leaned against a shield made of intertwined chains, blocking the dying counterattack of Amamiya Ren and "Kinjo Junya".

Sakamoto Ryuji smiled and held out his hand to him, "Boss, I'm here to pick you up."

17-year-old Ace: 229. Shinjima Shinmuzan

Kaneshiro Junya is dead.

There was no warning of death.

He collapsed in the bathroom of a bar, his throat was purple and blue, his face was pale, and his pupils were dilated. This man who spread illegal drugs throughout Shibuya, firmly controlled the Shibuya underground world, and even had the ability to influence the operation of the Metropolitan Police Department, died in a dark and damp valley in a manner that went against common sense and science.

The Yokohama mafia's assessment of the danger of Shido Masayoshi has been raised to another level.

"Becoming a useless person..." The leaders gathered together and looked at the photo of Kaneshiro Junya's tragic death on the screen.

"Councilman Shido is such a scary person." Bei Mu Ni Zhou, a teacher at an abandoned cram school in Naoetsu, took a sip of hot coffee. He suddenly looked at Oshino Yao who was taking a nap on the podium, "Have I ever cheated him of his money?"

Shinobu Yaku yawned, took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket, and lit it on the blackboard. The cigarette butt ignited a flame, "I remember that after Amamiya left for Tokyo, you used the evidence of that guy molesting women to blackmail him for 20 million."

"Of course I remember." Beimunizhou covered his forehead with his hands. "I have to go abroad to avoid it."

"Are you afraid that Woyan can't protect you?" Shinobu Yao held a cigarette in his mouth and smiled happily. The atmosphere was cold and the podium was filled with mist.

"I was afraid she would sell me out."

"...It's possible."

With the collapse of Jincheng Junya's palace, the Phantom Thieves of the Hearts returned safely to the real world.

Setagaya District, Shigen Tea House.

PM.4:35

The secret base of the Phantom Thieves.

Click. The door closed. Shiomi Kotone pushed Shinjima into the soundproof basement and carefully tied her hands and feet with nylon ropes. "I'm sorry, Niijima-senpai, you know too many secrets about us."

Shinjima's face was filled with fear. She then remembered that she had accidentally entered the set of a fantasy comic. Escaping from the "other world" did not mean that she could return to her daily life.

What is this superpower organization from urban legend going to do to me? She began to wonder. Amnesia, torture? Or...

"In order to prevent you from exposing the true whereabouts of the Phantom Thieves to the outside world, here are three options for you to choose from - Sophia, turn on the light," Amamiya Ren locked the door, he snapped his fingers, and the entire basement was immediately lit up.

The red-haired girl sat cross-legged in the center of the display screen and held up a sign that read, "Welcome to the Phantom Thieves of the Heart!"

The Phantom Thief paced around the Student Council President. He turned his wrist and a green lily appeared in his palm.

He inserted the bouquet between Shinjima's bound wrists and the knot.

The flower language of green lily is hope, peace and rebirth, implying a new beginning and change.

Amamiya Ren reached out and touched the pistil again, and it immediately broke into a pile of shredded paper. The shredded paper scattered on the ground, forming the katakana of her name in Shinjima's eyes.

"Niijima-senpai, do you have any plans for your future?"

"Get into a good university." Shinjima Makoto was obviously frightened by this amazing magic, and his voice became a little softer.

"It's so real," the Phantom Thieves stepped on the scraps of paper on the ground, and Shinjima's name became [PHANTOM (Phantom Thieves of the Heart)], "Join us, or have this memory cleared and return to your own life."

"Of course, there is another option that I believe neither of us is willing to accept," he leaned over and used his fingers to scratch the scraps of paper, and a sharp dagger appeared between his fingers, "that is... Is it redundant for me to say this now?" Amamiya Ren looked at Shiomi Kotone.

Shiomi Qinyin reached out and flicked his forehead, "We are not a terrorist organization."

"We can't hide it now," Amamiya Ren grabbed Shinjima's chair and turned it to face the display screen where Sophia was.

"Niijima-senpai, why did you study so hard and even become the student council president?"

Before she could reply, a picture of a beautiful grey-haired lady appeared on the screen.

Niijima's eyes suddenly widened.

"This is your sister, a famous beauty investigator in the Niijima Metropolitan Police Department."

The scene changed to a picture of Junya Kaneshiro who died tragically in the bathroom. "This is Junya Kaneshiro, the person who tried to persecute you and the culprit who spread the banned drugs to the campus. Of course, he is dead."

Amamiya Ren patted the back of the chair, and the nylon rope that bound Shinjima's hands broke. This was a subtle application of "Chris".

"Then let us imagine what fate you and your sister will face if Jincheng Junya's plan succeeds."

On the screen, Sophia called up several surveillance videos.

Those were the students who had suffered at the hands of Kaneshiro Junya.

They were locked up in a truck by the gangsters in tattered clothes.

The scene then changed to show their well-dressed parents kneeling on the ground humbly and sadly, begging the short and fat man who had already died.

17-year-old Ace: 230. The so-called heart blossoms

World-weary transfer novel group ⑨48③240⑨②

Background: The personality mask named "Metis" allows Hanekawa Tsubasa to have limited "absolute present vision".

She lives in a "library for browsing the entire wisdom of mankind", browsing through the information of the present world between the towering bookshelves.

The death of Jincheng Junya, the conspiracy outside the world...

Then her eyes fixed on the catalog page in her hand.

[Part 1: The deal between Jincheng Junya and Shido Zhengyi. ]

[Part 2: Xiaozhongda's deal with Shitong Zhengyi. ]

[Part 3: Xiaozhongda stole the database of Jincheng Junya, and the secrets of all the students, guardians, and guarantors who were poisoned by him have been transferred to the "Xiaozhong Cultural Society." ]

【...】

[Part 19: Xiaozhongda attempted to coerce Central Investigator Niijima Asuka to reveal his own money-making tools. ]

New Island

We must inform Amamiya Ren immediately. Hanekawa Tsubasa frowned, but she couldn't reveal her identity just yet... The real enemies of the Phantom Thieves had never been eliminated, and they were eyeing them covetously, their tentacles always reaching out to Amamiya Ren.

If the information about [Metis] is leaked...Amamiya Ren is not ready to deal with them at the moment.

I need help.

Hanekawa Tsubasa closed the book in her hand. A character who could pass on the truth to the Phantom Thieves on her behalf.

A thin register fell from the sky and landed in her hands.

"Chihaya Mifune. A fortune teller who hangs around Shinjuku."

Fortune teller. Amamiya Ren, who likes JOJO, will probably be convinced by this.

In her eyes, the transcendence and rationality that seemed to be able to see through the laws of all things quickly faded.

The black-haired girl woke up from the bed, and she turned back into the perfect monitor who was gentle and kind to others.
