Persona, I am the villain and I can do whatever I want

Although the skull-shaped design was a bit too unique, everyone present had already gotten used to it.

This carefully selected flat ground was far away from the blood-colored mycelium. Mitsui Tsubasa took out a goose yellow sheet and spread it on the ground.

Sakura Futaba had already become impatient, and before the sheet was even laid out, she lifted up her backpack and threw it to the ground, saying, "It's - picnic time!"

The snacks and drinks in her backpack scattered all over the floor, and she cheered as she picked out her favorite food.

Mitsui Yi was speechless at her childish behavior and said unhappily, "You will be responsible for cleaning up later!"

"Hmph! I'll take it if I want!" Sakura Futaba responded nonchalantly with her mouth full of chocolate and a sugar-free cola in her hand.

"Keep your voice down, don't attract the shadows." Wu Jianmiao took out a medical kit from his small backpack and sat next to him. "Don't move, let me see if you are injured."

Warm golden light flashed from her eyes, and she scanned Mitsui Tsubasa's body carefully: "It looks like there's nothing wrong with him, just some minor injuries."

"Speaking of which, what exactly is the vision of this [Doctor's Eye] like? Is it like X-ray?" Mitsui Tsubasa asked curiously.

"Not quite. It just highlights the injuries on your body, but you can't see the internal condition of your body."

"I see..." Mitsui Tsubasa's heart moved and his imagination ran wild.

He deliberately lowered his voice and whispered in Wu Jianmiao's ear: "Just like perspective...?"

The gentle breath tickled her ears, and Wu Jianmiao shuddered involuntarily and immediately patted his arm.

Because Sakura Futaba was right next to her, she just rolled her eyes coquettishly.

Mitsui Tsubasa didn't care. Miaomiao had such a beautiful face that she looked pretty even when she rolled her eyes...

But... he really wants this perspective skill, maybe it can be used to assist in combat.

After a short rest, they packed their supplies and prepared to set off again.

This time, Mitsui Tsubasa decided to use the flame of heart to open the way.

He first tried using the Shadow Repelling Light.

A repelling light - the effect is minimal. Although the shadows become hesitant in their movements, they will still try to approach them, and a battle is inevitable.

Two repelling lights - the shadows will follow at a distance that is neither too far nor too close. Once enough shadows gather, they will launch an attack, putting them in a dilemma of being besieged.

Three repelling lights - barely enough to ensure their normal passage. The shadows will retreat a distance, but will not run away.

Four...Okay, there are only three in total. It seems that I need to collect more desire stone shells in the future.

Mitsui Tsubasa recorded this data and then released the Flame of Heart himself.

Pitch-black flames gushed out of his body, and the scorching, explosive air waves scared the shadows away.

He carefully manipulated the flames, trying to find the minimum output to expel the shadows. After repeated attempts, he found that the effect was best when both arms were ablaze.

"At this rate of consumption, we can probably stay on the third floor for 3 to 4 hours. But considering the consumption in battle, the actual time may be halved."

After coming to the conclusion, Mitsui Tsubasa turned to look at the players and said, "Get ready to run forward. We are going to rush to the finish line in one go!"

"Ah hey hey——!" Sakura Futaba exclaimed, "Want to run? Well, I, I'm not good at sports..."

Mitsui Tsubasa glanced at her and finally suppressed the urge to complain: "Aren't you flying a UFO?"

"Oh...that's right." Sakura Futaba suddenly realized and felt a little embarrassed.

As a mature member of society, Wu Jianmiao was naturally not afraid of small challenges and silently tied his shoelaces.

After making sure everyone was ready, Mitsui Tsubasa raised his arms and shouted, "Let's go!"

In this way, the first Impression Space Marathon officially kicked off!

Thump, thump, thump - they ran quickly, passing over the spreading fungal blanket and the hazy shadows, searching for traces of the platform in the dimly lit tunnel.

The passages in the impression space were as complicated as a maze, and they would encounter dead ends from time to time. At such times, they would rely on the real-time map recorded by the oracle to choose a new route.

As the lowest-level and weakest member of the team, Futaba Sakura has become the one with a relatively easy job due to the special features of the vehicle she drives.

I even have the leisure time to share some short jokes from the Internet with everyone from time to time.

"Do you know the difference between Jesus and the portrait of Jesus?" Sakura Futaba suddenly asked.

After waiting for more than ten seconds and seeing no one responding, she couldn't help but reveal the answer herself: "It only takes one nail to hang up the picture of Jesus. Hahaha~"

Mitsui Tsubasa was speechless after hearing this, and couldn't tell whether this was a cold joke or a hell joke. Fortunately, there were no Christians here, otherwise Futaba would definitely be sent to the Inquisition.

After running for about half an hour, he keenly noticed that Wu Jianmiao's breathing began to become heavy.

So he slowed down his pace and asked with concern: "Are you okay? Do you need to rest for a while?"

"It's okay." Wu Jianmiao shook his head, still running lightly beside him, "Actually, it feels pretty good to exercise like this. I'm usually busy with work and rarely have the opportunity to exercise. Now is a good time to move more."

Seeing that she looked relatively relaxed, Mitsui Tsubasa continued to lead the team forward quickly.

He remembered asking Wu Jianmiao about this during a previous chat. The improvement brought to Xu Guiya by her upgrade was mainly concentrated in magic power and speed, while the improvement in physical fitness was relatively small.

Despite this, the level 20 attribute bonus still allows Wu Jianmiao to have physical fitness comparable to that of a female professional athlete.

Of course, it can't be compared with his extraordinary body.

"It's a pity that this power cannot be brought into reality for the time being, otherwise... Eh!?"

Mitsui Tsubasa's breathing became disordered, and a sudden thought came to his mind: "What would it be like if I had a big fight with Miaomiao in the memory space? His fighting power is super doubled here..."

Just as he was daydreaming, he suddenly heard Sakura Futaba's cheer: "Look ahead! We're here!"

"What have you arrived at?"

Mitsui Tsubasa was confused for a while before he regained his senses.

He looked carefully and found that they had reached the terminal platform.

At the end of the platform stood a large door, exactly the same as the one I had seen before.

Out of caution, Mitsui Tsubasa and his teammates found a safe corner to rest and made a decision only after they had recovered their strength.

"It's the same as always. I'll go explore the way myself."

"Okay." Wu Jianmiao nodded in agreement.

After Mitsui Tsubasa left all the Shadow-Repelling Lanterns to them, he no longer cared about the consumption of the Heart Flame and activated it with all his strength.

The dark flames instantly wrapped around his whole body, like a hot lava armor, and he strode towards the mysterious gate.

20 m.

10 m.

5 m.

Even when he stood in front of the gate, no gatekeeper jumped out to stop him.

However, there was also some bad news—the door did not move at all, completely ignoring his existence.

Mitsui Tsubasa checked the gate and found nothing unusual, so he walked back to his teammates and personally escorted them to the gate.

As Wu Jianmiao approached, the ancient gate finally responded.

——It trembled lazily a few times, released some dust into the air, and then returned to calm.

Mitsui Tsubasa sighed and said, "Miaomiao, it seems that you are still not famous enough..."

"Call me Mors! Isn't this the group rule you set?"

Wu Jianmiao glanced at him and was not surprised by this result.

Her paper has not yet passed review, and the medical community still has doubts about the effectiveness of Eden medicine. It is too early to talk about fame now.

Chapter 171: Exploration Completed and Unexpected Gains

"In short, it's a wasted trip..."

After discussing for a while, Mitsui Tsubasa came to this conclusion.

"So what should we do next, meow?"

The Oracle mischievously controlled a drone to hover above his head.

"Let me think about it." Mitsui Tsubasa rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought. "Got it. Let's go through the people on the key list first to see if they are on this level."

As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and opened a file with the note "Key Focus List".

[Fukulai Youichi, Kamoshida Taku, Kaneshiro Junya, Okumura Kuniwa, Niijima Sae, Pancake Man, Shido Masayoshi, Maruki...]

There were dozens of names on the list, all of whom he believed needed special attention.

After a moment's thought, he added Madarame Ikryusai's name.

Originally, he didn't want to care about this person, because the Phantom Thieves would help him deal with him anyway.

But now the situation has changed. The Oracle needs the Desire Stone, and he needs the Desire Stone Shell. It seems that he has to go to the other party's temple in person anyway.

Mitsui Tsubasa carefully checked the list and opened the Different World Navigation APP: "Then let's go one by one. First, Fukulai Youyi, HTPC Company, Navigation."

Different World Navigation App: "The target is found in the current area and navigation begins."

"Very good, it seems that he is really a small character. Next, Kamoshida Taku..."

Mitsui Tsubasa searched for the people with less "sins" on the list one by one, and was surprised to find that there was only one person on this level, Fukurai Youichi.

Even sports consultants like Taku Kamoshida are not here.

It seems that the social status of Olympic gold medalists is indeed not low.

"It's meaningless." He shook his head in disappointment. "You heard it too. It seems that for now we can only target HTPC Company and take action against Fulaiyou."

"I agree. I did some preliminary testing on the drug. I can't tell the exact ingredients, but it definitely contains tranquilizers, which are controlled drugs."

Wu Jianmiao immediately agreed that this kind of company that abuses drugs to brainwash its members must be severely punished!

"Isn't it illegal for them to use controlled drugs?" Sakura Futaba also joined the discussion.

"Maybe they got the drugs through the black market or by bribing doctors."

Wu Jianmiao was very familiar with the twists and turns here. She had also bought a lot of things in the black market. As long as you can afford the price, there is everything for sale there.

However, this topic was not suitable to discuss with Futaba, so she quickly changed the subject.

They had already read the documents and knew about the evil deeds of HTPC, so the plan against the cult company was quickly passed.

"Okay, I'll make a detailed plan when I get back." Mitsui Tsubasa made a prompt decision, "Let's go back to the entrance first, fight as much as possible on the way back, and collect the shadow data on this level."

On the Road of Moderation and Deprivation, the number and strength of shadows had greatly increased. They fought and marched, and it took them three times as long to return to the entrance of this level.

At this time, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

Sakura Futaba was exhausted after a long battle, Takemiya was slightly better, but she still had to go to work tomorrow.

Mitsui Tsubasa thought for a moment and said softly, "Wait for me for a few minutes, and I'll take you back."

He opened his personal panel and quickly recorded his gains on the return trip in the notes column.

[The Road of Moderation and Deprivation: About half of the shadows wear masks, ranging in level from 10 to 20. The highest are ghosts and female demons, but their number is rare. The shadows that can speak account for less than 5%, and most of them are very stubborn and unwilling to give in. ]

After sorting out the information, he looked at Sakura Futaba: "Futaba, we will take you back."

"Okay... Haha, I am indeed a little sleepy. I haven't had such a lot of exercise in a while."

Sakura Futaba came out of the UFO yawning, her eyelids drooping on her little face.

The entrance they came down from was Yokenjaya Station. Mitsui Tsubasa and Takemiya Mio walked out of the elevator on the first floor and waved goodbye to Futaba.

"Good night everyone, see you tomorrow!"

Sakura Futaba was the first to return to reality.

As soon as the elevator door closed, Mitsui Tsubasa gently hugged Takemiya for a while.

The relationship between the two had just been broken, and they were in love. Mitsui Tsubasa kissed her affectionately several times, and her body began to feel it.

"Miao Miao, I'll take you home too~"

Wu Jianmiao knew what he wanted to do without even looking at his expression. Although she herself was also... somewhat tempted, she couldn't do it today.

"Not today," she said bluntly, "I'm not feeling well."

Mitsui Tsubasa was also someone who had experienced and seen this before, so he understood what she meant immediately. That was a timed debuff that women were born with, and it was not a human factor.

As a visitor to a flower-growing family, he almost blurted out: "Drink more hot water."
