Chapter 12 Persona - Twenty Faces
"Does it hurt?" The cold gun muzzle hit his bloody wound, "I ask you, does it hurt?"
That A voice that could never be erased echoed in the dim cabin.
"Anyway, it's a waste that can't stand up anymore... Can I help you remove the other leg?"
The smell of blood filled the nose, and the moonlight shone coldly on it. On blood.
People who are unable to resist are like fish out of water, panting and struggling.
Everything overlaps with the scene in front of me.
Tang Ze gritted his teeth, pain and anger spreading from the depths of his memory, and the roof tile he was grabbing was overwhelmed and made a shattering sound.
The alert samurai shadows all drew out their sabers. Maru Denjiro, who was originally watching the sad expression of his prey, was also startled and turned to the direction where Karasawa was hiding: "There is someone there! Who!"< br>
Tangze stood up.
He was originally crouching on the side of the roof, hiding himself by pressing his back against the wall. This action completely exposed him to the sight of the shadows.
But now Karasawa has no time to pay attention to the tense scene in front of him.
In front of his eyes were things that he tried his best to forget.
In the cramped room, there were gunshots and severe pain, and sharp blades pierced into the flesh, one knife after another.
Hunger, hypothermia, the ticking sound of blood falling on the ground is getting louder and louder...
Also, the sympathetic glances in front of the hospital bed, the sympathetic gazes that were unwilling to look at him, seemed to be repeating the same word silently.
"Waste".
"Pfft——"
The violent heartbeat echoed in Tangze's eardrum.
“Have you really forgotten, those hurts. The future has been denied and ended...Have you really forgotten?”
The tender voice of a child, the rich voice of a man, the clear voice of a woman, it was as if several people spoke at the same time, and several overlapping voices sounded in Tang Ze's heart.
"Have you not had enough of your fate being manipulated, your pride being broken, your life being destroyed? Do you want to feel the shame again?"
Pain radiates from the heart to All over his body, Tangze staggered two steps, hugged his painful head, unable to suppress his screams of pain.
“Stand up, stand up again, those who do not try their best will only be swallowed up by fate——”
“Ahh——!”
As if because of pain, or because of deeper emotions buried in his heart, Tang Ze roared, and his fingers touched the edge of the mask covering his face.
“That’s it, let’s make a contract. I am you, and you are me——
“With an attitude that will never be defined, and an attitude that no one can ignore, in Dance in your destiny! "
Tang Ze grabbed the mask and tore it off his face with force. The stinging pain that seemed to separate the flesh made the veins on the back of his hand bulge.
An invisible wave of air, Whistling away with Karasawa as the center point, Maru Denjiro's shadow couldn't help but raise his sleeves to cover his face to block the strong wind.
Tang Ze raised his head, the upper half of his face was covered in blood.
The plasma slid down the bridge of his nose and landed on Tang Ze's lips. He licked the drop of sweet blood, and the blue flames swallowed his whole body.
When the flames dissipated, Tang Ze, who was still wearing the Didan school uniform just now, turned into black clothes. A bright red scarf was wrapped around his neck, and the hanging tail was flying fiercely in the wind.
Behind him, the dark Phantom Thief stood up in the flames. Under the black top hat was a face with a skull mask. Behind the leather dress was a wide cape dancing. The whole body was black, making it look like A backlit silhouette made the white mask under the brim even more pale.
Behind it, the tentacle-like dark mist rolled up more pure white masks, including fox faces, ghost faces, energy faces, and facial makeup with crying and smiling faces, which was eerie and strange.
Slowly regaining his senses, Tang Ze looked back at his persona and twitched the corner of his mouth.
What, why is Yassen so handsome, but his mask is Cthulhu style, looks so shabby?
Forget it, put the cup in, no, it’s more important to fight in the palace. "You are really a pervert who enjoys torturing others with money and resources, Mr. Maru." Karasawa looked down at Denjiro Maru who retreated hastily. "If you weren't afraid of the law, you would definitely put this scene in reality. Reappear? Disgusting guy."
"Who are you! Why do you appear in my mansion!" Marudenjiro looked ugly and shouted at him. Voice.
"Me? I'm the one who wants to send you to hell." Tangze opened his hands, and the scarf flew more and more with his movements. "Letting the scum die directly is to free you, so you should Live, live well, watch yourself lose your money, reputation, and status, and spend the rest of your life in prison with regret."
Marudenjiro's shadow cursed two curse words and shouted: "Go all. Capture him, I'm going to kill him! Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow!"
Tangze jumped back with a bright smile.
He disappeared into thin air before the eyes of the shadows.
————
Before entering the battle, Tangze quietly grabbed his phone and exited the cognitive world.
Although the words are very beautiful, Karasawa has not sent out the notice letter. In reality, the main body is not on high alert because of the notice letter, and the secret treasure will not be revealed at all.
So now Denjiro will not make people repent directly after taking pills. No matter how fast he is, he has to wait for him to complete the process. Karasawa is very clear about having read P5 and three weeks.
But this does not prevent him from saying a lot of lines, and it is really exciting to show off and run away.
Just when he was about to put his hands on his hips and laugh twice, Tang Ze lowered his head and his expression froze.
Damn, why is he still wearing a Kaitou suit? !
Moreover, people teleported from the shopping street to the door of Maru's house.
Tang Ze looked around guiltily to make sure no one noticed that this person had transformed into a living person, and then tried to change the clothes back.
After he concentrated on thinking about this idea, his black clothes flashed and turned back into the blue Didan school uniform.
It would be nice to be able to change back. Tangze breathed a sigh of relief.
If he can't change back, he will have to find a place to hide and change clothes when he comes out of the cognitive world. That would be too ungraceful.
As soon as he relaxed, Tang Ze felt sore and weak all over, and his whole body shook twice.
This is the power consumption of awakening the mask, right? It’s really tiring.
Sighing, he took out his mobile phone, opened the navigation APP - of course a normal map APP - Karasawa recorded Maruya's address, and dragged his steps back to the cafe.
Along the way, Karasawa slowly sorted out the information about his persona in his mind.
Different from the mask of the protagonist of P5, Arsene Robin, Karasawa's initial mask is the Phantom Thief from Edogawa Ranpo's novel "Monster with Twenty Faces".
How should I put it, it’s a bit surprising, but not very surprising.
Monster with Twenty Faces is a phantom thief character designed by Edogawa Ranpo based on the literary image of Arsene Robin. He is proficient in disguise and cross-dressing. "Twenty Faces" refers to He is good at disguising his identity and is said to have twenty different faces.
He is world-famous for stealing art, with superb skills, boldness and carefulness. Before taking action, he will write a warning letter to the owner of the object to inform the other party of the time to do it.
Sound familiar?
Yes, Kidd's prototypes are Twenty Faces and Yassen.
The old enemy of the weirdo with twenty faces is Edogawa’s classic detective character, Akechi Kogoro.
That is, the prototype of Kogoro Mouri. Goro Akechi in P5 directly netted this character.
Thinking of this, Tang Ze patted his forehead.
What a weird joke! Doesn’t it feel like an imperial decree?
Moreover, he did not believe that the image of a policeman with a broken leg would be set up in Maru Denjiro's palace for no reason. Karasawa was not someone who easily breaks defenses. If he was not triggered by this scene of cutting off his leg, he would not be able to heshin him abruptly and say that this is not the case. Tang Ze didn’t believe it was intentional!
Leon, come out and get beaten!
