Tokyo Trickster

The sudden death of Junya Kaneshiro, the uprooting of the entire Shibuya gang...all these hot news made Tokyo netizens a little overwhelmed for a while.

And the initiators who spread and exaggerated these news.

The president of Xiaozhong Culture Society stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window in his office, holding a goblet filled with red wine. He didn't drink from it, but just shook the glass to watch the ruby-like liquid swirling in the crystal clear glass wall.

The deep voice of Shi Tong Zhengyi came from the speaker behind him, "Xiao Zhong, Jin Cheng is dead."

"Yes." Xiao Zhongda was not proud, but just solemn.

"You should know what you are doing." This is a warning.

After a short busy tone, the call was hung up.

Xiaozhongda put down his wine glass, his face gloomy.

He knew that in the eyes of Shi Tong Zhengyi, he was just a tool to collect intelligence and get the upper hand over the powerful, but he didn't expect...

Ha. Xiaozhongda was thinking about the death of Jincheng Junya.

Junya Kaneshiro also seems to have an unclear relationship with Shido Masayoshi.

How cold-blooded. Councillor Shi Tong. Xiao Zhongda opened the drawer and saw a stack of photos of a beautiful woman with silver hair.

The beautiful female investigator of Tokyo headquarters is quite famous, Niijima Hikaru. OM You can be the opportunity for me to break free.

He sneaked into the other party's file storage room on the night when Jincheng Junya disappeared and stole the paper materials of the last three months, and then faked a fire. Fortunately, there was another group of people who also intended to steal the materials and became the focus of the police... All the traces left at the scene pointed to them.

What a blessing.

Xiao, Zhong and Da raised their goblets and drank the red wine in them. It was a celebration.

Two drops of bright red liquid fell on the body of the girl, looking like blood.

......

"A shogi master?" Amamiya Ren walked among the numerous shops.

He felt that such a prophecy was a bit ridiculous.

But it doesn’t matter, believe first, then believe.

Just like he was bragging to his friends yesterday that the Chinese team would definitely win the StarCraft tournament this year, achieving his second league Grand Slam in his career. But he didn't expect that the highly anticipated player Lu Mingfei was kidnapped by a super rich man in Italy before the game and taken to the Aegean Sea for surfing.

Luck has been a bit weird lately. Things that Amamiya Ren thought were impossible always turned out to be just the opposite.

He is not like the protagonist of "The Ryuo's Work!", Yaichi Kuzuryuu, who deserved to be shot at gunpoint for five minutes...

Amamiya Ren's steps came to a halt.

Then cold sweat broke out.

He looked at his fully-armed self reflected in the glass wall and fell into a long period of thought.

Maybe, probably, possibly, I do have some talent for shogi?

What interrupted his thoughts was the sudden outbreak of riots in the street.

It was a middle-aged man who suddenly burst into tears, rushed to the middle of the road, and kept kneeling and kowtowing to the people around him.

At the time of the spring equinox, his shirt buttons were unbuttoned, revealing the vicious tattoos covering his entire chest.

Amamiya Ren noticed the pistol in his pocket.

"【Chronos】."

Time paused for a moment.

He walked forward, took the Glock and put it in his shoulder bag. "Is he really a cadre from Jincheng?"

Five seconds later, time resumed flowing.

The man was still confessing passionately on the spot, surrounded by the crowd.

No one noticed that the leader of the Phantom Thieves of the Mind, who caused this scene, had just passed by them.

17-year-old ace: 236. Dongxiang Er

"Shenglong, Shenglong, hit him with your Shenglong Fist!"

In the spacious bedroom, Amamiya Ren stood behind Fangze Xia and kept urging her.

Yoshizawa Kasumi obediently held the handle to control the "Ken" on the screen to perform a rising dragon punch. At the moment when her opponent jumped up from the prone position, she received the blow just in time, followed by an aerial combo. The word "KO" immediately popped up below the round number.

The girl immediately turned her head to look at Amamiya Ren, her rose-like eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

Sumire Yoshizawa sat on the big bed with a cup of peach-flavored Dr. Pepper. She felt like many girls had slept here before. She raised her eyebrows...

"Jin, do you want to play a three-person game?" Fang Zexia said something very inappropriate.

I think you mean Trine. Amamiya Ren knocked on Sumire Yoshizawa's head as she began to daydream. Trine is a magical horizontal action game. It tells the story of three heroes saving the king from the devil and saving the entire kingdom.

Sumire Yoshizawa saw the game screen jumping on the screen and smiled shyly.

Although they were about to go to school, the two sisters always went to Amamiya Ren's house on weekends. Perhaps this was the leisure time for geniuses who had already won the National Junior Gymnastics Grand Prix. They wanted to apply for Shujin High School where Amamiya Ren was. But for them, the option of "applying" did not exist, and they should be directly recommended.

"Jin, give me a drink," Fang Zexia felt a little thirsty.

She reached out to grab the Dr. Pepper from Sumire Yoshizawa's hand.

So the three-person team broke up unhappily. The two sisters ran out of the bedroom fighting and making noises.

He really doesn't consider himself an outsider at all. Amamiya Ren silently turned off the PS7 on the desktop. He had to keep an eye on the daughters of the Yoshizawa family to prevent them from accidentally letting the vampires hiding in the apartment out to have fun.

Boom boom boom. Shinobu Oshino was kicking the door of the storage room. When Yoshizawa Kasumi called to say that she had arrived at Amamiya Ren's house, Amamiya Ren hurriedly stuffed the vampire that was jumping around the house into the storage room.

......

Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

PM5:56.

Kanda. Or Kanda Furumotomachi. A city of higher education institutions and international students, it still retains a large number of bookstores and antique shops, or alleys selling second-hand books.

Kanda's architectural style is similar to that of the Meiji Restoration period, a mixture of Japanese and Western styles. It is close to Tokyo Station, Ueno, Ochanomizu and Akihabara, and is one of the gathering places for young people today.

The church is located in a corner of Kanda. Behind the gray brick walls is a confessional where mutterings echo.

There are no windows or lighting facilities here. The only iron door is tightly locked. The pure darkness makes it impossible to tell the passage of time. It seems like a black space independent of the world.

A girl with a gentle temperament like a Yamato Nadeshiko and a Japanese classical beauty kneels in front of a chessboard.

The chess pieces are crisscrossed vertically and horizontally on the board, filled with murderous intent.

The iron candlesticks in the confessional were always burning. It was not dark here.

The girl in front of the chessboard, her dim eyes fixed on the mobile phone screen on the other side of the board.

The screen was filled with a constant stream of obscene words. It seemed as if all the malice in the world was directed at Dongxiang Yiersan in front of the screen. This was cyberbullying.

As a hotly discussed "beautiful girl chess player", Togo Ichiraku has received considerable social attention.

This should have been the motivation for her to continue studying shogi.

Until one day, she woke up and suddenly found that the Internet was full of rumors and gossip. Countless "black materials" and "iron evidence" were like a mountain, falling from the sky, almost crushing all of Dongxiang Yiersan's confidence, destroying her life, and portraying her as a "villain" who affects social stability.

It was pushed to the most negative side of public opinion and became the target of public criticism.

In intense panic and confusion, Dongxiang Yiersan rejected the concern of his close friends and relatives.

She came to Kanda, to this church where she had been able to calm down and concentrate on studying chess countless times.

"From the same mouth proceed praise and cursing. James."

"Ecclesiastes says, 'In many dreams and many words, there are many vanities...'"

The priest's chanting sounded outside the confessional.

Dongxiang Yiersan picked up a chess piece and felt extremely confused.

She seemed unable to continue thinking about the chess move.

......

"Dongxiang. Your classmates are here to see you." The priest's voice sounded outside the door.

Who is... Nao? Yui?

Togo Ichi-san watched as the door opened and the church lights shone into the dim confessional.

Hanekawa Tsubasa held a Bible in his hands and stood in front of Togo Ichiraku.

"Would you like to play a game of shogi, Togo-san?"

"I......"

"I am not your opponent." Hanekawa Tsubasa snorted and laughed, "Forget it, it's really a relief that you are still in the church."

Togo Ichi-san felt her thoughts disconnected for a moment. Hanekawa Tsubasa had disappeared, and she didn't even remember that she had just met Hanekawa Tsubasa.

Looking back at the door of the church, a boy wearing a mask and sunglasses walked in as the evening bell rang.

17-year-old ace: 237. Dongxiang San

Amamiya Ren had already noticed it.

There is a helper wandering around the Phantom Thieves.

She was happily playing games with the Yoshizawa sisters at home, but when she turned around, she found a letter on the desk. After asking, she found out that it was a letter given to Yoshizawa Kasumi by a classmate from the same school when she was drinking coffee in the afternoon. The classmate said it was a thank-you letter to Amamiya Ren.

Because the other party was a boy, Fang Zexia did not refuse.

She felt that as an outstanding writer, Amamiya Ren should accept such flattery and admiration.

The thief opened the letter and found a line of printed content inside.

"To the leader of the Phantom Thieves of the Hearts, Mr. Kurusu Akatsuki (Amamiya Ren)."

"Please visit the church five kilometers east of Kanda Gyokueido Bookstore before dusk fades. You can find clues to the truth about the strange incident in the Golden Castle Hall here."

The name signed is "An Interested Onlooker".

Very good, then I have to see how "interested" you are.

Amamiya Ren was not worried at all that this might be a trap set by the enemy.

When one's own strength reaches a certain level, one will no longer worry about conspiracies and intrigues.

He could confront deception and concealment with openness, and then destroy them with force.

After safely sending Yoshizawa Sumire and Yoshizawa Kasumi home, Amamiya Ren declined the enthusiastic invitation of the middle-aged man who worked at the TV station and took a taxi to Kanda... Ever since receiving generous funding from the Okumura Group, Amamiya Ren now feels that she is spending money more and more lavishly... In fact, the funding from the Okumura family is only for their heirs, as well as the pocket money and dowry that the heirs bring with them.

......

The treetops were lightly coated with a golden hue, and flocks of crows were hovering under the fiery clouds, carrying the sunlight.

The sunset seemed to have blossomed an orange-red flower in the sea of ​​clouds. Even flowers have to wither, and the cold evening wind blew the petals off, landing on the streets of Kanda.

Thinking about going to church, Amamiya Ren bought a Bible at Yuyingtang Bookstore on the way.

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” - Matthew 7:1-14.

He read silently, probably because he saw the corrupt blog.

The well-known female chess player Togo Ichirō is caught in a whirlpool of public opinion.

Even her good friends Nao Tomoharu and Yui Yagi also received a lot of attention. Some false "black material" was disclosed and turned into "real" "facts" through the exaggeration of self-media.

It's really a bit abstract. Amamiya Ren wondered why no one came to cyberbully him.

Where is the female boxer? Let's do something...Oh, I am the version t0.

After thinking about it, the thief had already walked into the church.

I saw a black-haired girl rushing out of the confessional, her face full of panic and eyes filled with confusion, as if she was possessed by an evil spirit.

This is Dongxiang 123.

Amamiya Ren nodded, imitating the elegant salute of an 18th century Christian missionary, "Nice to meet you, Togo-san."

Togo Ichimi-san was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that after the dream-like encounter with Hanekawa Tsubasa, it was Amamiya Ren standing in front of her.

Perhaps Hanekawa Tsubasa was just an illusion. As a highly regarded academic superstar in the same school, she actually did not occupy an important position in Togo Ichi-san's heart. Even though she once showed terrifying talent and calculation ability in shogi.

She was probably expecting to be comforted by someone she truly recognized.

It should be like this...

Amamiya Ren's first words broke down Togo's defense.
