Even Cocolia would not conduct such inhumane and cruel human experiments... Wait a minute, has she really never done it?

Cocolia and Gray Snake obviously had a cooperative relationship, so it is not impossible that she obtained the technology to transform the human body into shadow from Gray Snake.

Even if Cocolia did not experiment with this forbidden technology of transforming the human body into shadows on Seele and Bronya, it does not mean that she did not transform other children in the orphanage into inhuman shadows.

Although Cocolia has been forced to repent by Amamiya Ren, this does not mean that her sins have been redeemed. She is still just as rotten, not much different from the mad scientists in the Snake Followers organization. Amamiya Ren does not need to treat Cocolia differently and whitewash her just because she was forced to repent.

"Is this the place? The place that is not recorded on the base map. It is the corridor that connects to the Velvet Room that Yutu mentioned."

Amamiya Ren glanced at the base map held in the arms of Feiyumaru in the void beside him. He had already reached the end position recorded on the base map.

However, after moving his eyes away from the virtual map, he discovered that there was a long, dark, mysterious corridor in front of Amamiya Ren, which exuded a deep aura.

The corridor at the end of the base is very narrow and can only accommodate one person.

As Amamiya Ren stepped into it, the boundless darkness without any light quietly engulfed Amamiya Ren's figure.

Amamiya Ren walked slowly in this dark and deep corridor. He didn't know how far he had walked in this dark space. Suddenly, a cool and icy feeling emerged on the back of his left hand.

Amamiya Ren took off the red glove on his left hand. The [Key] given to him by Kaslana, with the engraved pattern like a giant sword, was slowly emitting a bright light, becoming the only light in this dark space.

Under the faint light of the engraved key, the boundless darkness that enveloped Amamiya Ren's body gradually disappeared like melting spring snow.

A soft light that was very conspicuous in the darkness slowly lit up from the position right in front of Amamiya Lian.

Just as Amamiya Ren was about to head to the place where the light was and completely pass through the darkness.

A golden butterfly with a magical charm that could captivate people's hearts quietly flapped its wings and flew past Amamiya Lian, as if guiding Amamiya Lian, and slowly flew towards the area where the light was.

"The butterfly...is not blue, but gold?!"

Looking at the golden butterfly flying past her, Amamiya Ren suddenly opened her eyes wide in shock.

This is the realm of the Velvet Room, and it is perfectly normal for butterflies to appear as an image in the Velvet Room.

However, the butterfly that appeared in front of Amamiya Ren was not a normal blue butterfly, but a golden butterfly like dark gold!

As far as Amamiya Ren knew, the blue butterfly was a symbol of the Velvet Room residents, such as Lavenda, the Velvet Room secretaries.

As for the golden butterfly...it is countless times more noble than the blue butterfly.

The blue butterfly is just a symbol of what the golden butterfly represents.

To be more specific, the being symbolized by the golden butterfly is none other than Philemon, the god of the collective unconscious who created Igor, the Lord of the Velvet Room!

Now we have to follow the guidance of the butterfly!

Chapter 4: Guillotine and electric chair, let's start to concave the mask! (K words)

Following the guidance of the golden butterfly, Amamiya Ren deviated from the path that originally led to the light in front of him and continued to run forward in the deep darkness.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but although Amamiya Ren was still in darkness, the atmosphere of this darkness was clearly different from the dark road she had passed before entering the Velvet Room.

Torches were hung on the cold walls, emitting faint flames that tried to illuminate the surrounding environment.

"...Something seems a little off here, Boss Joker, are we going the wrong way?"

Feiyumaru floated beside Amemiya Ren's shoulder. She trembled and hugged her five furry cherry pink fox tails, feeling an instinctive fear of this unknown dark space.

"This place looks like a prison. It looks so gloomy! Maybe the most dangerous, terrifying and vicious criminals in the world are imprisoned here. Why don't we go back, Boss Joker? I feel that the place pointed by the light before is the real entrance..."

Feiyumaru carefully raised a small hand and gently tugged at the corner of Amamiya Ren's clothes, trying to make Amamiya Ren change her mind and not go deeper into this seemingly endless dark space.

In the desolate and empty dark space, there are cold and solid iron doors with bars. Inside the iron doors are simple beds, washbasins and toilets. Apart from these, there are no other unnecessary items.

No matter how Feiyumaru looked at it, this place looked like a prison used to detain criminals.

Moreover, given the extremely terrifying surroundings, just being in this strange and dark environment can gradually make people mentally stressed and overwhelmed.

Feiyumaru can guarantee with confidence that this prison is definitely the final place to hold those extremely heinous criminals.

If she continued walking in this prison, she never knew when a group of vicious and terrifying prisoners would suddenly jump out of the darkness and attack her and Amamiya Ren.

"If it's a prison, then it's normal. If it's not a prison, then I'd feel weird... You may not believe it, but I actually have an exclusive VIP cell in this prison."

Amamiya Ren's eyes were always following the fluttering golden butterflies. He quickly scanned the prison environment emerging from the darkness, and responded to Hiyomaru who was floating beside his shoulder in a matter-of-fact tone.

This should be the outer area of ​​the Velvet Room, which is where the Phantom Thieves were imprisoned at the end of P5.

The exclusive cell where Amamiya Ren was imprisoned should be located even deeper inside.

After becoming a personality mask user, Amamiya Ren can easily and keenly perceive the atmosphere of this other world that is very different from the real world.

Walking in this dark prison, Amamiya Ren could feel that he could directly summon his personality mask at any time without having to rely on the power of the Jizo Soul Sword in his hand.

"VVV...VIP cell?! Is there such a thing as a VIP cell?! And Boss Joker, you've actually been locked up in prison?!"

After hearing Amamiya Ren's nonchalant response to her, Hiyomaru suddenly showed a stunned expression, and the five cherry-pink fox tails behind her were stretched straight out of surprise.

"Boss Joker, what crime did you commit to be locked up in such a scary prison? Did you kill a lot of people? Or did you destroy a city?"

After recovering from the surprise, Feiyumaru gently shook his tail behind him and asked Amamiya Ren with some curiosity.

Higyokumaru had never seen any extremely vicious criminals before, and Amamiya Ren looked different from the bad guys on TV, so Higyokumaru subconsciously replaced Amamiya Ren with himself, thinking that Amamiya Ren had committed similar crimes as himself.

"How is that possible? I didn't do anything. I was just imprisoned by someone maliciously... Hmm? The butterfly disappeared?"

Just as Amamiya Ren was talking to Hiyomaru, the golden butterfly that had been flying in front of him, guiding the way, quietly merged into the dark space and disappeared, just as silently as it appeared.

Philemon has never officially appeared in the world view of the New Testament Persona. Now that he can send a golden butterfly to help Amamiya Ren guide the direction, Amamiya Ren feels very satisfied.

However, the golden butterfly had disappeared, ending its guidance to Amamiya Ren.

But Amamiya Ren has not yet reached his desired destination.

This was clearly still the outer area of ​​the Velvet Room, not the deepest part where the evil god lurked.

"What does this mean? Is it because they heard that I know something about the Velvet Room that they no longer guide me and want me to complete the rest of the journey by myself? Or do they want me to stay here and not go to the deepest part to face the evil god directly?"

The sudden disappearance of the golden butterfly caused Amamiya Ren to stop in his tracks. He stood there, frowning slightly, and carefully thought about Philemon's intention.

Judging from the fact that Fermont deliberately used the golden butterfly to guide Ren Amamiya from the entrance of light to the outer area of ​​the velvet room, he probably did not want Ren Amamiya to go to the deepest part to face the evil god directly.

By guiding Amamiya Ren to the area outside the Velvet Room, Philemon may have concealed the evil god's eyes and ears, or he may have used the power of a true god to intimidate Yaldabaoth, the false god.

All in all, although Philemon, the god of human unconsciousness, has been extremely inactive, since he has moved slightly, Amamiya Ren had better listen to the advice of this good god and not continue to go to the depths of the prison to face the evil god.

"Boss Joker was also locked up for no reason without doing anything? I understand, I understand!!"

Hiyomaru didn't care about the disappearance of the golden butterfly. After hearing Amamiya Ren's story about how she was forcibly imprisoned despite being innocent, tears suddenly appeared in Hiyomaru's blue eyes.

She nodded her head vigorously with empathy, then suddenly threw her whole body onto Amamiya Ren's shoulders, stretched out a pair of short arms, and tightly hugged half of Amamiya Ren's face.

"What do you understand... Oh, you seem to really understand this kind of imprisoned anger, but unlike me, you would have done bad things if you were not imprisoned in the past."

Amamiya Ren stretched out two fingers, grabbed the slender and smooth back of Hiyomaru's neck, and pulled it twice in a row before pulling Hiyomaru, who was stuck to his left cheek, into the air. He gently shook her petite body like a doll and said so.

It seemed that for the past five hundred years, Higyokumaru had been sealed in the black box along with the secret treasure by Kallen. It was not biased at all to say that she was imprisoned.

The great sin existing in the palace of Yaezakura is the sin of [anger]. As the shadow existence on the other side of Yaezakura, the [anger] of Hiyomaru, who has been imprisoned for more than five hundred years, naturally far exceeds the sum of the rage of Amamiya Ren when she was imprisoned in the velvet cell by the evil god.

However, at that time, Higyokumaru was still [Higyokumaru], still the [Higyokumaru] in Yae Sakura's heart. If she had not been sealed into the black box by Kallen, it would definitely have caused something extremely bad to Yae Sakura.

Sealing the shadow in your heart and not facing it is a general way of escape that cannot completely cure your own psychological problems, but it is indeed very effective.

"That's true...but I didn't do anything at that time, and killing me just like that is really too much!!"

The doll-like petite body of Hiyomaru was swaying gently in Amemiya Ren's hands. She puffed up her mouth in dissatisfaction, and her cheeks were inflated like a pufferfish, which made Amemiya Ren involuntarily stretch out her fingers to poke Hiyomaru's white and soft cheeks.

Just as Hiyumaru was complaining to Amamiya Ren in a faint voice, Amamiya Ren's action of poking Hiyumaru's little face with her fingers couldn't help but pause slightly.

It wasn't that Higyokumaru's words touched Amamiya Ren in any way.

He just suddenly felt a secret sense of being watched.

This hidden being seemed to have always kept its eyes on Amamiya Ren, but He was as natural and silent as the world itself, so Amamiya Ren had never felt like he was being spied on before.

It was not until Amamiya Ren and Hiyamaru were chatting that the secret existence suddenly seemed to waver and withdrew from the harmonious and natural state that was like the world itself, causing Amamiya Ren to notice the existence of this peeper behind the scenes.

The one secretly watching him from behind the scenes must be the unconscious god Philemon who released the golden butterfly to guide him here.

Because the game was too old and had not been translated into Chinese, Amamiya Ren had never played the Old Testament Persona series. His knowledge and understanding of Felemon was entirely based on the forum group chats. He didn't know what nerve of Felemon had been touched by his conversation with Hiyamaru just now.

But it doesn't matter. Now that I know that the god is still paying attention to me and has not left, things will be easier.

"Fei....Lord God, you are looking at me, right? I need your help now!"

Amamiya Ren originally wanted to call Philemon by his name, but now he had something to ask of God, so he changed his words and used a more respectful name.

"I'm here to pick up the equipment that Yutu sent to the Velvet Room and asked me to make with the Desire Stone and the Secret Treasure. By the way, I also want to use the power of the Velvet Room to complete the fusion of the personality mask... Although I don't really want to face the evil god in the Velvet Room, I still need to improve my strength."

"Since you have prevented the meeting between me and the evil god, I hope you can at least satisfy my need to improve my strength."

In the Old Testament Persona series, Philemon seems to exist as an auxiliary role in prompting humans to awaken the abilities of their personality masks.

As the creator of the Velvet Room, there is no reason why Philemon, the God of the Unconscious, cannot do something as trivial as synthesizing personality masks, which even the secretary of the Velvet Room can do. He will definitely be able to do it better and more perfectly than Lavenda and the Gemini!

Just as Amamiya Ren finished speaking, she made her request to Philemon who was hiding behind the scenes.

Amamiya Lian suddenly felt that the gaze focused on her suddenly disappeared, as if Philemon had already left.

"Boss Joker, who are you talking to? There's no one here... Are you talking to something I can't see?!"

Floating in the air, Higyokumaru straightened the red and white shrine maiden costume that had become messy due to Amamiya Ren's manipulation, and covered the smooth shoulders that were slightly exposed.

She looked around curiously, but did not observe any existence that could communicate with Amamiya Ren.

Being in a dark and terrifying prison that seemed to be designed to stimulate unrest in people's hearts, Feiyumaru suddenly recalled the terrifying scenes from horror movies he had seen on TV in the past.

Her body suddenly stiffened to the extreme, and she once again threw herself towards Amamiya Ren's shoulder with a strong desire to survive.

Boom boom boom————!!!

Just as Feiyumaru climbed to Amamiya Ren's shoulder, terrifying roars like heavy objects falling to the ground suddenly came from not far ahead.

“Aaaaaaahhh!!”

The dark prison had always been in a state of silence and deepness, but at this moment, there was a sudden rumbling sound like thunder. The sudden switch between extreme silence and loud noise made Fei Yuwan, who was already under mental pressure due to his imagination and became a frightened bird, tremble violently.

Feiyumaru let out a shameful scream, and even in a panic, he pulled open Amamiya Ren's collar, trying to hide himself in his chest.

"Don't panic. What are you afraid of? If you really want to talk about ghosts, didn't Yaezakura also become a female ghost for 500 years? And she was a fierce and resentful one. I don't think you have ever been afraid of Yaezakura... If there really is a ghost, I will let Sakura come out to deal with it."

Amamiya Ren bent his fingers and pushed away Hiyamaru who was trying to open his collar. He helplessly comforted Hiyamaru who was floating in the air with his hands covering his head.

"Yeah, that's right, it seems to be true. If it was my eldest sister, I wouldn't be scared at all!"

After hearing Amamiya Ren's comfort, Feiyumaru, who was covering her red forehead, was stunned in mid-air. She nodded as if she had suddenly realized something, and there was a clear stupidity in her eyes.

Yaezakura obviously looks normal, at most a little ignorant due to her limited vision, but why does Hiyomaru look stupid...

After Amamiya Ren let out a deep sigh, he turned his gaze to a position not far in front of him, which was the area where the heavy object had fallen from the sky.

The light smoke and dust stirred up by the falling air flow gradually dissipated.

A grim guillotine with a cold glow all over it, and a blue electric chair.

It suddenly appeared in Amamiya Lian's eyes! !

Chapter 4 Aponya: Is he really my cellmate?! (K words)

The paradise of the past, the deepest of the deep.

There are two figures spying on the visitors to the paradise of the afterlife.

One was a graceful woman with distinct and opposing brown and dark green hair colors, and pupils with a gradient of pink and white. She looked at the figures of Amamiya Ren and Hiyomaru appearing on the screen, and an expression of interest emerged on her delicate and dignified face.

"The visitor who holds the Key of Corrosion, Jizo's Soul, is such an unexpected guest... I like surprises like this!"

Wei Erwei, the chief engineer of the Paradise of the Past, expressed her opinion in a cheerful tone. Then her pair of pink and white gradient eyes swept across the Jizo Soul Sword held in Amamiya Ren's hand, and a somewhat disappointed expression appeared on her pretty face.

"It's such a pity. Due to time constraints, I was not able to fully create the Jizo Soul in the pre-civilization period, so that the Jizo Soul became a boring sword without any surprise functions. I hope this latecomer will not be disappointed and unhappy about this."
