Tokyo Trickster

The end of evil wizards was often to be executed on the cross by the king.

Flames would rise from the bottom of the cross and burn fiercely until he let out a cry of despair. Only then would believers recite the words of judgment loudly beside him.

Of course, it is also possible that a group of thieves broke into the tower filled with his infinite magical power and stole the wand that ruled the world, and the angry wizard gradually fell silent in the darkness.

Before all this happened -

First, we have to return to the real Daochi Town.

This is a poor, shabby place. Rice can't grow wide, wheat can't grow strong, there's no place to raise cattle and sheep, and fruit trees around the mountain are always stolen by monkeys. Government subsidies are often lost in some process and no news is heard from them.

Kosuke Ogawara is the manager of this town.

He can call himself the mayor. When he was young, he got this town from the county by selling land. He thought it was a good job that would allow him to enjoy the rest of his life, but he didn't expect it to turn into a mess in his hands.

The development is poor and the facilities are backward. The mountain road is too steep and the tram tracks cannot be laid in or pulled out. If you want to save money, you can only take a long-distance bus to the county town to find a bank.

He muddled through more than a decade in a daze and fulfilled his duties as the mayor. Many people respected him, and there were also scoldings, but he pretended not to hear them and forgot about them all in two days.

Whenever there was a good suggestion that could help the town develop, he would choose to believe and adopt it. Unconsciously, the scolding became less, and everyone's respect for him gradually turned into worship. The nickname "enlightened and kind-hearted Kogahara" spread like wildfire. Kogahara Kosuke enjoyed the sense of accomplishment of being sought after by thousands of people.

As for the so-called development plan...of course, let them do it.

Anyway, there is not much money to spend.

Kosuke Ogawara came here at the age of thirty and is now a fifty-two-year-old man.

A young man named X Zhongsheng came out of the town. He was very capable. He made his business big in Tokyo and then returned to his hometown to open a private bank.

He did a lot of good things for Daochi Town, and the mayor saw it all, as did the residents’ changing attitudes every day.

Gradually, those young people or old people who unconditionally worshipped Kosuke Ogawara have all turned to x Zhongsheng.

Because the mayor always delegates tasks to others, his only achievement is probably to delegate power to the planners. The money and effort are provided by others, and all he has to do is to give a speech after the task is completed, chat with the residents of the town with a smile, and then praise others for their excellence, secretly reminding himself of his open-mindedness and understanding.

In comparison, x Zhongsheng is more like a fighter who selflessly invests money in his hometown. He has goals and determination. He always participates in the construction of the project in person and works overtime until dawn.

With such efforts, Daochi Town is really getting better day by day. The school has been renovated three times, a baseball field and a swimming pool have been added, the town has a library, and the new commercial street has housed many shops from the county town.

The "enlightened and kind-hearted Ogawara" was soon replaced by the "savior of Dochi Town".

x Zhongsheng became a big star in Daochi Town. He didn't have outstanding looks and acting skills, but he had a warm heart.

People seemed to have forgotten Ogawara and the person who managed this town.

He was very jealous and tossed and turned for countless sleepless nights, dreaming that x Zhongsheng was elected by the residents to replace him as the new mayor.

He bought the position of mayor with his family land.

But he was helpless against X Zhongsheng, as the other party never owed him anything. On the contrary, the mayor's new office building, office, and villa were all made possible because of this well-educated man.

The seed of jealousy took root and sprouted.

Until a group of unscrupulous gangsters broke into Daochi Town. They were greedy, violent and eyeing X Zhongsheng who controlled the town's development policy.

x Zhongsheng's family was broken up.

His property fell into the hands of the mayor, the Metropolitan Police Department, the gangsters, and large//big//small landowners.

Dark trading chains were opened up one after another, and residents disappeared inexplicably every month, either students or adults.

Whenever this happened, Kosuke Ogahara would feel that he was truly alive and that he was once again the mayor admired by everyone, feeling the hard work and wealth that once belonged to X Zhongsheng flowing around him.

Everything he did was for the development of Daochi Town.

Kosuke Ogahara returned to the office building, panting, carrying a bag of banknotes and stuffing it into the safe.

His aging and frail body, coupled with his old and decayed bones, were so exhausting that he was sweating profusely.

Um? What's this?

He raised his head and looked at the window, as if something was posted.

Which naughty kid posted this flyer?

Kosuke Ogawara was a little angry, so he reached out and peeled it off.

It was a letter with black text on a red background.

[To. A great sinner who is envious of others’ achievements and abilities. Mr. Kosuke Ogawara. A politician who relies on power to steal the fruits of good people’s efforts and persecute many residents. We have made up our minds and will make you confess all your sins. We have accepted your twisted desire.]

【The Phantom Thieves of the Heart. Sincerely. 】

(PS: I recommend a friend’s book, Uma Musume fan fiction “The Uma Musume Full of Dreams and the Real Me”)

17-year-old Ace: Book recommendation chapter "Sister Skadi, I have a girlfriend"

I recommend a book for good friends, which is a fan fiction of Arknights. This book has all kinds of coppers, and they are all skillfully and deeply made. It is a great book for writing little boys and little luoli. (The portal is at the bottom)

If you are interested, you can go and have a look.

As for other reasons for recommending the book:

First of all, the author of this book is very cute, and secondly, he is a great writer, with a style that describes emotions in a delicate and colorful way.

In his full subscription group, he has written many unedited extra stories that are extensions of the main text.

Summary:

As Shuiyue's sister, Miss Skadi is very proud and proud.

Her son Shuiyue is so cute, so well-behaved, so excellent, so sensible, and he is a great cook and a great gamer. He is simply the pearl under the sea of ​​Agor! The best boy in Terra!

"Ms. Skadi, your brother ran off with another woman again."

"Ghost Shark, I'm going to chop you to death!"

Well, if there was one thing about Shuiyue that made Miss Skadi worried, it was that he was always being seduced by other women.

"I regret it now. I regret it so much. Why did I think so hard back then and bring my precious brother to this place?"

Facing Eureka's interview, Miss Skadi couldn't help crying.

"I only thought that the doctor was a threat, but I didn't expect that it would be hard to guard against a thief in my own home. If I had known, I would have strangled the ghost shark to death. I never touched my Mizuki once! Not even once! She ate everything up!!!"

"Ever since I came to Rhodes Island, I feel like everyone in the world wants to steal my brother from me!"

What good sisters and good teammates, the angel of energy and the ghost shark Muir Seth, they are all love rivals! She directly transformed into the turbid heart Skadi and killed all those who wanted to steal her brother today!

Sister Skadi, I have a girlfriend

17-year-old Ace: 163. Climbing a tower is the despair engraved into DNA (two in one)

Tartarus...

Shiomi Kotone muttered some confusing nouns.

"Tartarus? What is that?" Ryuji Sakamoto, who was igniting the motorcycle, turned his head and looked at her curiously.

"Well, a bad place," Xijian Qinyin looked up at the tall tower in front of her that led directly to the deep purple sea of ​​clouds. It was bathed in the dusk when the sun and the moon alternated. It was not necessarily magnificent, but rather eerie and cold.

The round moon was like a disk, hanging alone in the starless darkness. Opposite it was the red torch of the setting sun.

Before entering the palace, Amemiya Lian did not forget to throw little Yu Cong into the Velvet Room and leave it to Lavenda's care.

They got along very well and seemed to have become close friends not long after meeting each other.

When conquering the Impression Space on weekdays, you can take her around, but challenging the hall is an exception.

There might be traps or enemies that could harm spirits. In this area of ​​distorted cognition, Amamiya Ren was not sure that she could protect her.

Unlike Lavenda who is restricted by various rules, Cong Yu can always help Amamiya Ren in battle through the memory space, such as urging Cong Yuwan's divine power to repair the blade and heal the user's injuries...

It's really a rainy day.

Amamiya Ren held the Cong Yu Wan in her hand and began to miss the personality mask [La] in her memory, which was the hint of the strongest sun. The overwhelming power was really intoxicating. (See Chapter 146 for details)

But he had never faced the enemies called "Yamata no Orochi" and "Susanoo", nor had he fought against the volcano that erupted from the sky. In the end, all that remained in his hands was Musamemaru and his exquisite swordsmanship...

One night, he and Lavenda analyzed the current situation:

Judging from the clues in dreams and reality that we have seen so far, there is a guy who calls himself "Judas". His essence is the collective unconscious of mankind who pursues regret and hopes to go back to the past and make up for his mistakes. He travels back and forth to unknown destinations, affecting countless time and space, causing large-scale "time and space travel" events.

Among them are "different worlds" that are completely different from history, as well as seemingly real parallel worlds.

In a parallel world where the image space is fragmented and reality is on the verge of destruction, there is another "Amamiya Ren" who is contaminated by the seven deadly sins of mankind.

It is the product of Amamiya Ren's failed attempt to control the extraordinary execution and mental power of the comic character "Joker". After the "Joker" lost control for unknown reasons, Amamiya Ren managed to peel it out of his body and then fled to the deepest part of the impression space.

When we met again, it was already the senior year of high school.

The huge palace covers the entire Tokyo.

The seven areas are divided into seven sections according to the seven deadly sins of mankind: pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony and lust.

Naturally, there are also seven "clowns" who are the masters of the hall.

The entire society collapsed as a result and fell into disorderly chaos. The streets were filled with burning, killing and looting. From the military, police and politicians to the old men taking a walk in the park and the students returning to school with their backpacks on their backs, the death toll was an exaggerated number every day, but no one cared because the world was hell.

Even the Velvet Room was destroyed. That madman was extraordinarily powerful. His qualifications and talents were inherited from Amamiya Ren, but he was far more powerful than the current Amamiya Ren - crazy desires were the nourishment that gave birth to power, forming seven personality masks representing the seven deadly sins of mankind.

The four currently known personality masks of "Amamiya Ren" are the "wrathful" [Satan], who can manifest the "hell" in Christian mythology in the image space.

"Jealous" Hera, the jealous white-armed goddess of the Golden Throne, the wife of Zeus. She can issue shocking curses and can create unlimited substitutes.

The "greedy" Frey, son of Njord, the god of the sea, once coveted Odin's High Throne (Hlidskjalf). It is said that he can see the whole world from the throne. As a personality mask, he has absolute present vision and can see everything happening in the world at the current time. He holds the sword of victory (L?vateinn) that can cut off magic, the magical treasure ship Skidbladnir that can be enlarged and reduced at will, and the divine horse Bloodyhoof that can pass through flames.

Finally, there is the arrogant [Chronos]. He is a primitive god from the Orphic religion and ancient Greek mythology. He is the highest god worshiped by the Orphic religion. He has the great power to stop time.

Amamiya Ren from another world killed the clown that symbolizes "anger", but was also contaminated by the extremely twisted desires and was about to become the new "anger". At this time, he was met with "greed" and "jealousy" who came to support him. He barely maintained his original intention through a life-and-death battle, and fought all the way back from Hoori Town to Kenshimi Shrine. With the help of Cong Yu, he cut off the left hand of "Greed" and blinded the eyes of "jealousy". This battle did not come to a conclusion, and the broken impression space of Hoori Town was caught in the turbulence of time and space.

Perhaps it is the "god" who calls himself Judah who is at work.

Amamiya Ren doesn't know when this terrible challenge will come, he must be prepared...

I haven't figured out a way to overcome Hera's curse yet, so I can try this tower in front of me first...

He always felt there were some coincidences.

Corresponding to [Satan] who calls upon hell, [Frei] who can gallop across the sky, and [Hera] who casts a great curse, the Phantom Thieves have to face the gallery of Madarame Iryusai, the temple of Sakata Kinnin, and the tower of Ogawara Kosuke that they are about to challenge.

This is the wizard's tower. Judging from the atmosphere, it is probably closely related to the evil witchcraft in literary works.

It was as if someone was rushing him to get familiar with it, deal with it, and then understand the key to victory.

Amamiya Ren felt that the anxiety was a little too obvious.

There is nothing to be afraid of. After all, I am the ace...

Such complacent thoughts were shattered after four hours.

The Phantom Thieves broke into the wizard's tower. On the door plaque was written "Dao Chi". Dao Chi's Tower.

The first floor is right after entering the door. There are no enemies, but only two corpses with their bones exposed lying in a clay pot.

On the second level, I encountered humans with spliced ​​limbs: probably another person growing out of one person's butt, with his hands on the ground, his cheeks cut open, and a round shield nailed into his skull.

Not very powerful, but looks pretty disgusting.

On the third floor, a group of monsters shaped like drowned corpses were soaking in the pool. They were killed by a wide-area lightning bolt when Kotone Shiomi called out the personality mask named "Oberon".

......

The 15th floor. This is the first time the Phantom Thieves encounter an enemy that can use magic.

He was a skinny old man with dark skin. He used a dagger to cut open his palm and dig at the wound. A curse that robbed the vitality was released in the blood... From listening to the spell he chanted, this was probably the effect.

Unfortunately, his prelude was too long, and before he could finish his words, he was beheaded by the approaching Amamiya Ren with a sword.

The Phantom Thieves became alert.

Sixteenth floor.

As expected, he met the wizard again, and before he could open his mouth, Shiomi Kotone's [Opros] smashed him into a pulp with a harp.

......

Thirty-fifth floor.

With a livid face, Ryuji Sakamoto was lying on the middle platform of the long stairs, panting and with a dazed look in his eyes.

Morgana was also lying prone, breathing slowly, like a charred corpse.

Xijian Qinyin showed a disgusted expression, as if she was fed up and uncomfortable with listening to a five-second lyrics repeated tens of thousands of times.

Even someone as monstrous as Amamiya Ren's physical fitness and mental strength seemed too much to handle.

He walked to the window and leaned against the wall. The bricks and stones had a damp, cold and rough texture. He could see the vast night sky outside the window, as well as the forest and thumb-wide road that blurred into a mass below.
