Tokyo Trickster

The Phantom Thief continues to track down Niijima Tuo K. He must win over the beautiful prosecutor of the Metropolitan Police Department to his side before Xiaozhongda makes a move.

Of course, this does not mean that she should join the Phantom Thieves of the Mind.

It is enough to ensure that the public opinion on the Internet will make Amamiya Ren and others suspect that they are "mind thieves".

"Sophia, can you track their location?"

The little red-haired girl held up an arrow icon. "Sophia Navigation is at your service. There is a traffic jam ahead. Miss Niijima is currently 1.7 kilometers away from you."

The thief simply gave up the idea of ​​taking a taxi and chasing forward. When he overcame the traffic jam, Xindao Xinzhiluoti suddenly appeared in the theater.

He cursed Jin Chengjun in his heart. Will he be a gangster? Such important intelligence resources could be snatched away by Xiao Zhongda, a newspaper owner.

Seeing that it was almost noon, I thought I had to put the scam on hold for the time being... and guide Xindao Zengmu Ping.

Still no energy to play games.

Amamiya Ren looked at the pre-sale advertisement of Nintendo's latest "Switch 3" scrolling on the advertising screen at the tram station, and suddenly realized that perhaps this was the so-called electronic ED.

At this time, the phone rang. It was Amamiya Ren's agent at Atlus, Tatsumi Kotaro. "Teacher Kurusu Akatsuki, are you free today?"

Amamiya Ren, who hadn't slept for 48 hours, yawned and said, "I'm free. What's wrong?"

"Genji Heavy Industries sent you some large packages again. We signed for them on your behalf."

"Do they want to discuss business cooperation?" Amamiya Lian thought that perhaps the children of a big boss in the company were chasing stars at public expense.

"Indeed," the agent said with some emotion, "I heard that a laboratory under Genji Heavy Industries developed a new ..."

"Mining machine?" Amamiya Ren did not forget the last endorsement.

"It's a 3D printer." Tatsumi Kotaro took out a piece of printed paper and recited the contents on it in a formal manner, "[The new era 3D printer has been put into mass production, convenient for home use, and can use metal as a material. Currently, it only supports copper as a metal material. We are actively developing printing modules that can adapt to more types of metals.]"

"I'll go to Sicha right away." Sicha is the abbreviation of "Sikenjaya". Thinking that it was another large sum of money, the thief swiped his card through the gate of the tram station. On the corner wall of the underground passage was a concert poster of the famous female star Kujikawa Risa.

Standing in front of the poster is a man who is wet from head to toe. He is carrying a black gun bag and wearing a baseball cap, and seems to be going to a baseball game.

Amamiya Ren, who was also carrying a gun bag, naturally raised his hand and stepped forward. After he took two steps closer, the man who was looking at the poster of Kujigawa Risa turned around. He was Narukami Yuu, and he raised his fist almost subconsciously. The two fists collided slightly in mid-air, and they looked at the gun bags on each other's backs, and then smiled knowingly.

"Senior Narukami, is baseball fun?" The Phantom Thief said with a hint of meaning.

Narukami Yuu thought of the boy who was beaten by Izanagi Okami and fell into self-doubt. "It's quite interesting. We can play baseball together if we have the chance. I'm good at swinging the bat. But I have to go to a concert later, so I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you."

"I was a catcher for the school team when I was in junior high school." Amamiya Ren said goodbye to Ming Shangyou. He pulled his mask, adjusted his sunglasses, and walked towards the waiting hall. I came here in the memory space early this morning, but in reality, I can't see shadows. Those flesh and blood tissues that cling to the tunnel walls, the station ground, and the tram cars... cling to everything are naturally invisible... It should be like this.

When the train arrived at the station, Amamiya Ren did not follow the crowd inside.

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely take the opportunity to show off the results of his hard work in fitness.

Amamiya Ren looked at the huge blood vessel twitching under her feet.

[Eye of Fool] clearly fed back the following information: the entire tram station had been dragged into the impression space.

To encounter such a situation means... Goro Akechi is in the train in the impression space in front of you, and he is rendering someone in the car disabled.

Amamiya Ren's expression was a little strange. He turned around and looked at Ming Shangyou who was also dragged into the memory space.

"Senior, are you still going to watch the concert?"

Yu Narukami untied the gun bag behind him and said, "I suddenly want to play baseball." He pulled out a katana from the gun bag.

Ren Amamiya pushed open the window of the Velvet Room, and Lavenda handed her a Batman cosplay costume.

"Batman" and Yu Narukami took advantage of the gap when the train was about to start, and Orion punched the door and broke it, and they jumped into the car.

*

The sound of wheels hitting track quickly.

Smooth ground.

Goro Akechi carefully recalled the list that Shido Masayoshi gave him.

Before his injuries had fully healed, the "boss" ordered him to go to Inokashira Park to be disabled.

Because his daughter works in the Metropolitan Police Department. And it was that Niijima who pointed the finger of conspiracy at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. If the confidential information of the headquarters is mastered, it will be a big step towards the position of prime minister for every politician.

The seat under Lion Boy Zhengyi's buttocks is getting higher and higher day by day, but the legs of the stool are becoming increasingly fragile.

He must do his best to make his virtue worthy of his position.

So before Akechi Goro had time to mourn his terrible mock exam results, he immediately rushed to the memory space, transformed into a cold-blooded executioner, and cruelly took the lives of innocent people. He even regarded this as "justice" and was happy with it.

Click. The sound of a bullet being loaded.

Goro Akechi raised the model gun in his hand and pointed it at the middle-aged man who was operating the joystick in the seat in front of him.

A blazing fire was brewing in the pitch-black muzzle.

At this moment, the wall of the carriage was torn apart by an exaggerated force, and the "Batman" in a black battle suit suddenly approached Goro Akechi.

He took a perfect central axis stance, with the electric current-like force transmitted from his spine to his shoulders, then to his fingertips, and finally to his fists. This is one of the most basic techniques in boxing, the straight punch. In fighting competitions, the straight punch is generally used to disrupt the opponent's movements and disrupt the opponent's position when attacking or consciously retreating. It is the main means to win.

Joseph Brown, a boxing coach at Princeton University in the United States, once said: "Mastering the straight punch technique is equivalent to mastering 80% of the boxing technique."

Amamiya Ren completed the entire movement from swinging the fist to retracting the fist one second before Goro Akechi pulled the trigger.

Goro Akechi was hit directly on the jaw by the penetrating force of Amamiya Ren's straight punch. His brain couldn't stop shaking, and the trigeminal nerve connected to the jaw was disordered by the force, like a pool of black ink smeared on the map of consciousness. His body, which was specially trained to meet the aesthetics of women and could never be described as "tough", instantly became as hard as a coffin board and fell backwards to the ground with a bang!

"Perfect Fight." Amamiya Ren struck the victory pose that Ken would do after winning in Street Fighter 6. He then looked at the unconscious Akechi Goro, picked him up with one hand and threw him to Narukami Yuu.

"Find a place to take him to practice."

"This guy really doesn't learn his lesson." Ming Shangyou couldn't help but laugh.

"It's okay, just beat him up a few more times and make Shi Tong Zhengyi die of anxiety."

"Wait for them to reveal their weakness first?" Narukami Yu caught Goro Akechi.

"Ha, they are already a force full of loopholes, but I am not ready to deal with Yaldabet hiding behind them."

"Batman" tore off his mask and cape, and after the train stopped, he led Yu Narukami to a compartment of the impression space.

This place is strong enough to withstand the punches and kicks from Orion and Izanagi-Okami.

17-year-old Ace: 244. The Sun on the Corner (3.4K words)

Like-minded. This idiom comes from the "Records of the Three Kingdoms - Wei Zhi - Biography of Chen Si Wang Zhi" by Chen Shou, a scholar in the Western Jin Dynasty.

There is no need to elaborate on Amamiya Ren and Narukami Yuu. Friendship always grows when doing the same thing. They developed a good understanding in the process of "educating" Akechi Goro.

The deep red lights made the concrete walls look like blood. The building structure that was strong enough to withstand the explosion was damaged by what they called "punching and kicking", but even such an attack did not cause Goro Akechi to suffer too much damage...

The young man, known as the "Second Generation Detective Prince," lost consciousness, and his left calf, which had just healed, was broken again.

Amamiya Ren squatted beside Goro Akechi, fiddling with a model gun, "It's so abstract. The deviation value of the mock exam is only 61, and you think you're extraordinary just because of this?"

"Deviation value 61?" Narukami Yuu also asked. It seemed like he hadn't gotten such a score in a long time.

Amamiya Ren's deviation value has never been lower than 90.

They smiled knowingly at each other again.

Finally, it was Narukami Yuu who carried Akechi Goro up, "I'll find a way to deal with him."

"Leave it to Mr. Adachi?" Amamiya Ren thought carefully about the interpersonal relationships of this college student.

"According to your inference, Shido Masayoshi will not take action against Adachi until he has shaken off the suspicion of becoming a 'disabled person'..." Such a voice echoed in the impression space.

“It has finally come to this point, challenging the government’s credibility.”

“Don’t challenge something that doesn’t exist.”

......

Amemiya Ren strolled along the riverside at dusk. The path was covered with dandelions that had not yet fully grown. The wilted white flowers swayed in the wind, and occasionally a few white catkins floated into the sparkling river that reflected the setting sun.

The tea and snack shop called "Honey Master" has a warm and cozy decoration. The female students are wearing seasonal shirts and carrying school bags. They are wearing stockings under their short skirts. A section of their white thighs is exposed between the hem of their skirts and the edge of their socks. They are youthful and beautiful in the red glow of the sunset.

I ordered a cup of hot espresso and a matcha macaron and sat under the pergola.

Little Cong Yu, who had been hiding in Cong Yu Wan, floated to the side of Amamiya Lian at this time, hugged his neck and looked at the green dough on the table curiously.

"This...is the French dessert called macaron?"

"You can ask Lavenda to do it for you in the evening."

At this time, the setting sun fell along the edge of the mountains, like pouring a large basin of cinnabar into the river...The red flames burned in the sea of ​​clouds, covering the towering buildings with a crimson veil. The brown sparrows carried the laziness and fatigue of the evening and flew through the gray mist between the tall buildings.

Amamiya Lian pulled out the chair opposite the table so that Cong Yu could sit down.

He asked the waiter for a large cup of vanilla Christmas.

"You can't get full with this kind of food~" Cong Yu, who was half-heartedly wearing a very revealing maid outfit under Lavenda's orders, glared at Amamiya Lian angrily, "Master, you've only eaten some high-calorie snacks these past two days, right!"

The thief admired the fair and round shoulders and arms of his little maid exposed outside the cloth. This elf-like beauty that was a mixture of youthfulness and sexiness and beyond human beauty always made him unable to take his eyes off.

Cong Yu stared at him shyly and angrily, "So hurry up and eat some normal, nutritious food! Like rice or something!"

"Do you know what normal food is?" Yu Gong Lian picked up the Christmas, walked over and pinched Cong Yu's cold and soft cheek.

"Anyway, it definitely won't be these beautiful-looking, cold things!" Cong Yu groaned and pulled at Yu Gong Lian's hand.

Amamiya Ren wore a mask and sunglasses, and even pulled up the hood of her hoodie, not caring about the comments of others. This is probably what is called "putting on a mask and taking off a mask."

On the contrary, Cong Yu in ghost state was a little embarrassed to be affectionate with Amamiya Ren in public...

Understand and respect. Oshino Shinobu laughed mockingly in the shadows.

Because of the commotion she caused in the impression space, Cong Yu's "date deadline" was extended by another day.

They simply continued strolling around Inokashira Park.

Amemiya Ren suddenly stopped, pointed at a row of trash cans in the park and said to Cong Yu.

"On April 1994, 4, a rather terrible dismemberment case occurred in this place."

"It was early in the morning. When the cleaning lady was looking in the first trash can, she found something that looked like raw fish in the garbage bag. She felt sorry for it, so she prepared to collect it to feed the wild cats. But when she opened the second trash can, she took out a plastic bag and found something that tasted like fish, but it was wrapped in four layers of black plastic bags and translucent plastic bags. She unwrapped the layers of plastic bags, took out the things inside and saw...it turned out to be a human foot." Amamiya Ren's voice turned gloomy.

Cong Yu was clearly a ghost, and at this moment, he showed a very scared expression. Amamiya Lian glanced at the trembling handle of Cong Yuwan's knife. How come you are so timid as a ghost? You didn't seem to be afraid when you were chopping the evil spirits.

"After the cleaning lady called the police, the police collected a total of 27 pieces of body, weighing about 20kg in total. The parts included were mainly arms, legs and part of the chest, accounting for about 30% of the human body. Each piece of body was 20cm wide and no longer than 30cm - which is exactly the same size as the entrance of the trash can in Inokashira Park. Generally speaking, the murderer of a dismemberment case will cut the body at the joints in order to dispose of the body as quickly as possible. However, the strange thing about this body is that the murderer did not care about the difficulty of cutting the bones at all. The most difficult parts to cut were the clavicle and thigh bone, and he cut the body into cubes one by one."

"There were many suspicious points in this case, but in the end, the Metropolitan Police Department's outstanding work efficiency made it a cold case with no end in sight."

Amamiya Ren continued, "So for a long time, there were no trash cans in Inokashira Park. Seniors in school talked about how they used to camp here and had to carry trash bags home after packing up in the evening. Of course, recently, due to the new policy of 'strengthening urban security management,' trash cans have returned to the park."

He threatened Cong Yu, "I heard that if a person has strong resentment when he dies, he will eventually become a ghost-like existence, wandering around the place of death... A 'spirit' like you will definitely see it..."

Cong Yu has already entered the Cong Yu Wan, and the blade emits a white light that can cleanse evil spirits.

Amamiya Ren's words came to an abrupt halt.

I was just kidding, how could you really believe it?

The little girl hundreds of years ago was too easy to fool. The thief recalled that when he was in another time and space, it seemed that just a few words made her fall in love with him. It was the first time for Cong Yu to enter modern society, and only half a year was not enough for her to completely integrate into this era. It was normal for ancient people to have awe for these supernatural things, although they would feel that this "reverence" was quite contradictory.

Fortunately, it was dusk now. The afterglow of the setting sun was a hysterical lingering before the curtain fell. The vast red light was emitting in the forest, and the gun bag emitting a faint glow naturally did not attract attention.

Passing by the fountain under Inokashira Park again, Amamiya Ren felt like looking for Niijima Yoshime... After all, Akechi Goro was sent to the hospital again. The cadres of the Niijima Yochi "Mental Loss and Disablement Incident" countermeasures team seemed to be busy working overtime.

I hope Mr. Konoha will take his time... I haven't figured out how to send the notice yet. Amamiya Ren muttered to himself. This time, he must show his "Phantom Thief Aesthetics" as the organizer of the Phantom Thieves of the Heart... I've already seen enough of the violent aesthetics.

They returned to Shibuya from Inokashira Park, passing through Chuo-dori on the way.

While I was thinking, I had already walked to a small shop with a plaque on the door that read "Gyu-S-ya orenobeko".

At the end of the working day, the store is already full of diners. There is no beer and cigarettes commonly seen in roadside stalls, but it is filled with the melancholy of middle-aged men complaining to each other. The so-called complaints are not words or actions. The pressure and depression of life are all melted into a satisfied burp as the steaming hot food enters the mouth. It is not elegant, but it is enough to "relieve anger". Then there is the sound of clinking of bowls and chopsticks, saying goodbye to the boss's shouting, and after leaving the store, the pressure of life mixed with the cool breeze hits your face.

At least I can take a short breath and avoid having my spine broken.

Amamiya Ren walked into the restaurant and asked, "Boss, where is your menu?" He looked around but didn't see any menu posted on the wall or counter.

"Um, sorry, the store is currently under renovation and the menu is being updated... If you want to order, you can take a look at this."

The person who spoke on behalf of the boss was a stern-looking middle-aged man in a suit. He handed over a handwritten white paper. "I'm a regular customer of this restaurant. Many people asked the same question as you today. So I took the time to write a menu. It shouldn't be wrong."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Yoshida."

"Yeah, it's just a small favor. Just consider it as a token of gratitude for this delicious meal."

The person called "Yoshida" answered with a smile.

......

In the impression space.

Lavenda picked up a new tarot card from the table.
