Chapter 206 Red bean paste, private Marseille!
“This one is a big scumbag.” Stepping down from the little Beetle, Karasawa looked at this slightly spacious room, “It’s almost like a palace.”
Shibuya’s The subway is a "public palace" where everyone's subconsciousness coexists. Generally speaking, the human mind will only be integrated into the vast collective subconsciousness and will not produce a relatively independent shadow.
When a person begins to have a tendency to distort, he will be separated from the public palace and put into independent spaces. When the seeds of desire sprout and enough distortion occurs, he will completely enter an independent space. Time and space create palaces.
Practice makes perfect in everything. After a period of career as a phantom thief, Karasawa can now easily judge the level of scum of an opponent by relying on his shadow state.
Although people who have psychological shadows or whose desires themselves are too strong will also have shadows and halls, but Karasawa mainly only fights scum.
After coming to Mihua Town for so long, Karasawa can hardly remember how many shadows he has cast.
He didn’t have any teammates at the time, nor did he have Kumel’s vest. Toru Amuro was still keeping an eye on people, so he could only take time off from school every two days to go to the subway station to clear out monsters, relying on his two legs. , six or seven shadows or something each time.
When Hoshikawa Hui joined the team, his efficiency improved and he had relatively free time to move. The efficiency of clearing monsters was greatly improved. When there was nothing to do, he had to kill a few monsters every day, just like doing daily tasks. Similar.
However, even with Tangze's efforts, half of the murders that should have happened will still happen.
It can only be said that the folk customs of Miwa Town are really terrifying...
...If you think about it carefully, his experience during this period of time corresponds to the plot at the beginning of P5.
The protagonist, who cannot gain the trust of the coffee shop owner at the beginning, can only move around in the alleys around the coffee shop. Once he gradually gains the trust of the boss, he can expand his activity time and area.
Maybe this can be regarded as a kind of plot attraction.
"This is the thirteenth time." Xingchuan Hui flipped through his phone and pressed his forehead, which was throbbing due to lack of sleep. "How long is expected? There are two targets on this floor, and they are not too far apart. , if you hurry up, you can finish it in one go.”
Tang Ze pulled down the corner of his mouth, and the strips of cloth on his eyes burned and disappeared. Looking at the shadow of the young man with black energy swirling around his body, he pulled out the Tang Dao hanging on his waist with his backhand.
"Then hurry up. We can definitely get it done before the God of Death comes out. Xingchuan, help me count down the 2 minutes."

"Fenggu Sir!”
Hearing Kazami’s call, Rei Fukiya, who was meditating on his notebook, pressed the button on the intercom.
"How is the situation here?" Sitting in the back seat with the windows covered with light-shielding film, Jiang Guling's line of sight was somewhat blocked. He could only see the team members surrounding the building in front of him silently shrinking the circle.
“I haven’t caught up with this yet.” Kazami Yuya blinked hard. Not long after Rei Furitani and Karasawa left Tokyo respectively, he entered a busy life with insufficient sleep. Now his eyelids are up and down. They almost stuck together, "When we entered the door, we saw this man named Saito kneeling on the ground and apologizing tearfully..."
"...Huh." Rei Fukutani also pressed his temples to stop him. After hearing the next report from his subordinate, "Okay, no need to say more."
This is already the sixteenth target that they followed up on today and was announced on Kaitou CH.
At the beginning, the members of Team Zero still had the intention to carefully investigate the specific situation of the target, what things and people they had come into contact with before and after the sudden repentance.
But soon, this interest quickly faded. Some of them were still working, some were shopping in department stores, and some were alone in their homes. The most exaggerated one was with his girlfriend at the time...
Then at a sudden moment, it was as if the chaotic soul received the gift of the Lord - one of the believers described it this way, they began to cry bitterly for their previous dark thoughts, and found the victim to apologize desperately. , or grab friends and relatives around you to repent, or see that they are police officers and ask them to arrest you.
Especially the last one...
Rei Fukutani pressed his temples again to clear those bad memories from his mind.
It’s better not to remember it.
After leaving the Metropolitan Police Department, they traveled around Tokyo for more than two hours and listened to various apologies and confessions from more than a dozen people. "I was brainwashed, but none of them caught up...
"The efficiency of the Phantom Thief of Hearts is too high," Kazami Yuya raised his hand to suppress a yawn and tried to speak in a clear voice. .
"This goal is also to be alone at home and surfing the Internet?" Shitani Rei shook his head, picked up a pen and added notes in his notebook, "This is the third such situation. What about the people in the second group? "Where's the side?"
"It's almost the same. They followed up to the tenth person and still haven't caught up." Looking at the gestures of his colleagues, Kazami Yuya's teeth started to sour, "...We still need to continue the investigation. Go down?”
Fangtani Rei looked through the records he had written for a while and closed his eyes.
"...continue." Finally, he breathed out, calmed down and said, "Although there are some deviations from the plan, there may be new gains. Is there an approximate range for the repentance time of this one? ?”
“About twenty minutes ago, that is, around 2:15.” Kazami Yuya flipped through the folder in his hand and gave the exact answer.
2:15...
That is the thirteenth one in order.
"The interval is only three to five minutes..." Frowning his eyebrows, Feng Guling added a stroke on the timeline, "Does this target need to be checked by someone?"
"Probably. "Feng Jian Yuya glanced back. The young man who looked like a human being cried and grabbed the trouser leg of a colleague. Currently, he has recently used notice letters to persecute his disgusted colleagues. He mentioned that he was suspected of using tactics during his college days. It seems that there is no intention to finish the story in a short period of time. "This is also an unusual act. I guess after sorting it out, the prosecutor will consider filing a lawsuit."
"Then... Leave two people behind, then close the team and let’s go to the next one.” Releasing the button on the intercom, Shitani Rei shook his head helplessly.
With his sensitive identity, he is not suitable to appear on such occasions, but it is necessary for him to sit on the front line...
It is still too troublesome to be an undercover agent to take on such a job.
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro thought, took out his mobile phone and logged into Kaitou CH, where the news was booming, and refreshed the list of notice letters on the announcement page.
No new targets appeared. Perhaps they will not release new content until this group of people is cleared.
Among the dozens of people listed, the number of high school students is about fifteen, and there are currently no students from Didan High School.
“I don’t know if the guy who attacked Karasawa is among them.” Rei Fukiya muttered to himself, his thoughts going the same way as Karasawa’s, “If until the end, the Phantom Thieves’ goals are not The appearance of ordinary Emperor Dan students...does it mean that those who tried to explore this matter may be paying attention to some forces of 'Tang Zezhao'?"
