Chapter 439 Persona - Minamoto Boya
"What's wrong leader?" Seeing Karasawa standing at the entrance of the cave, he suddenly stopped. Noah bent down and looked at Asai Narumi in his hand, and also Not noticing anything unusual, he raised his head strangely, "Is there anything wrong?"
"...No." Tang Ze looked at the content that appeared in front of him and curled his lips.
【rankup! Rank3]
[coop——Destiny Shift 1st]
[Many inevitable deaths, many irreversible things... The road to becoming a protagonist and a hero is destined to be full of obstacles and challenges that fate has arranged for him. His undefeatedness is based on the blessing of fate and love, as well as on cycles of regret and loss.
You no longer remained silent, you stretched out your hand, and the destined fate finally began to shift in a subtle way.
You as a student, you as an undercover agent, you as a phantom thief... the multi-faceted you he knows are all your own.
This is your intersection with death - passing through death and getting a glimpse of new life. 】
"Through death, glimpse into new life..." After reciting the last sentence, Karasawa looked at Asai Narumi, who was placed on the ground by him, and took a breath.
He ushered in his first rank 3 co-op - the rank 3 of Death.
As for why his coop improved so slowly, Karasawa tortured Lyon.
Nothing came out of the question. The Riddler's mouth is not that easy to pry open. But from Lyon's vague words, Tang Ze can probably feel that rank 3 will be a more critical node, a node of qualitative change.
Now, he finally sees it.
Is destiny deflected? Do you mean that you are fundamentally changing the fate of these people? Then why didn’t this prompt pop up for someone like Miyano Akemi, whose fate had already undergone a major turning point...?
While Karasawa was still thinking about his deck, Narumi Asai slowly opened his eyes due to the high temperature and lack of oxygen in the fire field and the overuse of cognitive power that almost killed him.
Blinking his eyes blankly a few times, the moist vapor unique to the sea breeze echoed in his nose, and he felt the hard and cold touch on the back of his head.
Here, what exactly is...
He smoothed out his hair that was messed up by the wind and scorched by the flames, supported himself on the cold and hard ground, and sat up.
Then he saw the shadow of Asai Narumi, dressed in Heian period clothes, staring at him steadily with golden eyes.
"!" Asai Narumi was startled, and stood upright holding on to the stone with shaky steps.
Although what joker meant was that he also had a palace and wanted to take him to see his own palace, but when he opened his eyes and saw someone who looked exactly like him standing there, he still felt a chill running down his spine. feel.
“I finally woke up.” Moving her sore wrists, Miyano Akemi shook her head and walked to him, “That you are really awesome.”
Fighting out of the palace in Karasawa , during the time when they were running to the scene to pull people, even relying on the separation wall that Conan pulled to prevent the full-scale outbreak of the shadow Asai Shimi, it also wasted a lot of energy of Miyano Akemi and Hoshikawa Teru.
No way, although the two of them also have a certain attack power, they mainly play support - isn't it enough to have Tang Ze as the output big C?
Even so, just the power that was not blocked by them and leaked out has already made the shadows in the impression space below stagger, looking like they are about to be beaten to pieces.
Narimi Asai, who has seen and even killed shadows, looked at the man in front of him with a bow and arrow, and murmured to himself: "Then, is that 'me'? I am real "
Shadow Asai chuckled twice and narrowed his eyes: "Is it unbelievable that I will become the 'Guardian of Moon Shadow Island'? After all, I have a violent heart. , no shadow is allowed to escape this land, but at the same time, even if I call myself a Tokyoite, deep down, I still consider myself a 'child of Moon Shadow Island.'"
Narumi Asai opened her mouth. , there was confusion on his face.
"My name is Aso Minoru, and I am the 'Gravekeeper of Moon Shadow Island'." Shadow Asai Narumi lowered his head slightly, slowly raised the bow and arrow in his hand, and placed the arrow on the bow string. Flashing with a sharp cold light, "I am guarding their tombs, my father's tomb, and my own. Admit it, no matter how far away you are, the anger and hatred will only make you come back here again and again. , go back to your hometown - this is my truth..."
"Be careful!" Tang Ze quickly swung his knife with his eyes and knocked down the flying arrows.
"Do you want to deny it? You can't escape, you are trapped here by hatred and the past, you are a helpless earth-bound spirit?" Shadow Asai Narumi once again fully drew the bow in his hand, with golden eyes. There was a trace of ridicule, "Can you do it? Can you really escape from here?"
Karazawa lowered his center of gravity, stretched out his hand to block Asai Narumi, and hit his teammates on the left and right. He made a gesture and was ready for defense and battle.
Although their world view theoretically does not require a battle with their own shadow to awaken... but what if it happens?
Narimi Asai glanced at Karasawa's arm in front of him, looked at the tense lower half of his face, and took a deep breath.
"I will not run away." Knowing that this is his own shadow, his twisted nature, Asai's eyes widened, "Why should I run away? It's not me who did the wrong thing, it was them!"
< br>"So, do you want to stay in this desperate place?" The bow and arrow in his hand showed no signs of letting up. "What do you want to do? Aso Minoru?"
"Of course I can do it. "Asai Narumi took a deep breath, "Because Aso Minoru is dead. After I complete my revenge and seek justice for my father, everything in the Aso family ends here... I will not escape from here. , I want to destroy all the causes of despair, I want to defeat it in an upright manner, and leave in an upright manner!"
"Hahaha, very good..." Asai Narumi, who had always looked gloomy and pale, revealed his face. gave a smile.
Then he let go of the string in his hand, and the sharp arrows shot straight towards Asai Narumi's face with a sound of breaking through the air.
"Alert!" Karasawa, who was highly focused, shouted, and immediately raised his hand again to block the arrow aimed at Asai Narumi.
However, this time, Asai Narumi behind him pressed down his arm first, stepped forward and caught the arrow without hesitation.
When Karasawa inhaled hissingly and quickly opened the item column with quick eyes and hands, preparing to revive his teammates who were sent away at the beginning, the shadow Naomi Asai had already put down the bow in his hand.
The golden arrow pierced Asai Narumi's forehead, but did not cause any scars. It sank into it like a swimming fish and flowed into a golden half-face mask.
Asai Narumi touched the mask with feeling, and walked step by step in front of the shadow.
"I have been waiting here for too long. Why did you come today?" Shadow Asai Narimi stretched out his hand to him.
“Because I thought I was powerless, tortured by fear and struggle, wavering...”
“No, it’s because you have been hiding in the shadows for too long, and you have no courage and planning. But I didn’t dare to try an honest way to break the situation.”
“But I finally came.”
“But you finally came.”
Outside the cave, the red sun rising from the sea was rising to the east, and the bright red sun circle surrounded the mirror images of the two people.
"Recover your true self, see through the darkness and illusion, and let your melody spread in the world...Call my name. My name is Minamoto Boya." Fingers clasped Asai Narumi's face The mask, the shadow said the words, "I am you..."
"You are me..." Let his fingers hold the edge of the mask, Asai Narumi accepted road.
The cold palm ruthlessly tore open the fox face that appeared on his face, and blood flowed down Asai Narumi's neck and onto the pale palm.
The blue flames completely surrounded the two of them, and a roar came from the center of the flames.
"Wow..." Tang Ze, who had watched the whole process, only uttered an exclamation at this time, "Is this okay?"
Tang Ze couldn't help but applaud lightly.
Good guy, he called him a good guy.
It’s P4, but it’s not quite P4. It’s P5, but it’s not quite P5. Good sewing, good sewing, the second one is quite exciting!
In his rhythmic clapping, the flames in front completely disappeared, revealing Asai Narumi's true appearance at this time.
He was wearing a black and white palace-style dress, black tights and a complicated white shirt, as if he was about to perform on stage.
However, he was wearing a long crimson feather-woven coat, with layers of flame patterns all over the hem, like blazing flames and like bright red waves, rolling on the fabric.
Look at the fox face covering the lower half of his face... "How do you put it?" Tang Ze, who relaxed his guard, touched his chin and complained, "Our group, although we wear The clothing styles are all different, but the colors are surprisingly uniform."
So far, except for their own hair and eye colors, everyone in the Phantom Thieves has the same look. The colors are red, white and black. Even Noah, ignoring the RGB breathing lights on his body, is also wearing silver and black hair.
What is this called? This is called retaining some elements so that you know this is a group?
Narimi Asai lowered his head, looked at his attire curiously, and turned to look at Karasawa and the others.
"You guys, too, came here like this?" He nodded the black fox mask with gold on his face and asked with some novelty.
"Oh, it's almost the same, but not as good as yours." Tang Ze walked up to him and patted his shoulder, "What do you think? Have you decided on your code name?"
"...You didn't even ask me if I would like to join?" Asai Narimi laughed.
"Why, do you have any other options?" Tang Ze asked confidently, tapping the blindfold on his face.
Narimi Asai, who completed the murder plan and chose to burn himself in the fire, is undoubtedly a person who has lost his social identity, or in other words, he took the initiative to abandon his identity. .
Understanding the world of cognition, becoming a persona user, and accepting help from the Phantom Thieves... Step by step, I have reached this point, and it is too late to regret it.
"Assist me to kill people first, and then ask me to join..." Touching the bow and arrow hanging behind his back, Asai Naomi smiled helplessly, but did not refuse Karasawa's approach, "You guys, you can do it It's like some kind of Yakuza."
"Jakushu or something..." Tang Ze pondered for a while, "That's not wrong, huh?"
Although Xingchuan Hui really refused to leave, it was true that Karasawa had his trumpet stolen.
Miyano Akemi, she might as well be really dead and then revived.
As for Noah’s Ark, they stole it openly.
Taking it into detail, the way his members join the group does not seem to be much different from the way some organizations use deception and abduction.
"You kid..." Miyano Akemi patted him on the back helplessly, "You are talking nonsense again... In short, in the cognitive world, in order to avoid the influence, we will try our best to avoid being direct. Call your real name. Give yourself a codename as a souvenir of your new life.”
"Code name..." Standing by the cliff cave, looking at the gradually rising red sun outside, Asai Narumi rolled his eyes, "Lunar, just call me lunar."
" Lunar... suits you very well, and it's also a very neutral word." Tang Ze walked to his side, stepped on the edge of the cliff cave, and looked down at the plant roots below that were gradually wilting in the sunlight, "Since you said that. Okay, let’s try our method. Let’s take action. Although this island is small, it has a lot to do.”
————
"Sorry, sorry, please repeat me, what's your name?"
"Uh, what did you say, you want to surrender, you killed the next door neighbor's dog? Well, sorry, can you go over there first... …”
"In the end, it turned out like this." Memu Police Department adjusted the brim of his hat and looked at the busy police officers who replaced the administrative staff and sat in the window of the office with a dumbfounded look. "If I had known, I would have brought The person in charge of paperwork is here..."
Because he received calls for help related to drugs, he brought the most force he could contact in the shortest time, and most of the people who came were from the police force. field staff.
Now they are sitting behind the desk one by one, grinning while taking notes. They are obviously dizzy from the heavy paperwork.
"No one could have expected that it would turn out like this, right?" Looking at the music score in his hand, Mouri Kogoro sighed greatly.
I don’t know whether it was intentional or a mistake. This time, the Phantom Thieves of Heart did not choose to use those overwhelming notice letters. Instead, they followed Narumi Asai’s lead and printed a large number of them. Sheet music for logo.
During the time when Asai Narumi committed suicide by setting fire and they were waiting for the forensic results in the villa area, Yueying Island seemed to have a snow composed of musical scores.
You know, the "Moonlight" murder case and the cursed piano are the hottest topics on the island at this time. These scores cannot be ignored like flyers. Almost everyone on the island Got a few.
What’s clever is that, according to Xiaolan’s speculation, the musical code code created by Keiji Aso and several other boys was later used as a code to pass the code code when they were involved in the drug trade. .
In other words, the people who can understand them for the first time are basically guys involved in the drug trade.
And the secret code they left on the staff is——
"We will burn Moon Shadow Island to the ground." Looking at the Roman accents written on the notebook, Conan rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Did these monster thieves do this on purpose..."
Just After two members of the Aso family burned themselves to death in "Moonlight Sonata" (at least that's what everyone thought), they used lines like "burning everything" as a preview...
It happened to be The music score happened to be a code, but after several leaders died unexpectedly one after another, and even the reasons could not be found out...
Don't say that they were using means to change their minds, even if they had not changed their minds, those who knew the contents of the letter , and had to be intimidated until he crawled to the point of peeing and surrendered.
"But if this is the case, it means that joker is fine, right?" Mao Lilan, who was also holding a copy, cherished and touched the smooth paper surface of the music score that smelled of ink, "Then Representative, Mr. Cheng Shi, really survived, is that what you mean?”
"...That's for sure." Conan pursed his lips, lowered his head in displeasure, and quietly took out the sheet of music at the end of the pile of paper.
This is what he found in his bag after returning to the hotel just now.
Recalling the book that suddenly appeared in his bag after a trip, Conan was not surprised, but his mood was very complicated.
This guy, it’s not like we don’t have contact information, how about writing a secret code for yourself? Is it to express the phantom thief's special care for the detective?
Without listing the answer to the puzzle on the paper, he scanned the notes one by one and read the contents in his mind.
"Don't worry about Chengshi, he is safe and sound. The sins that really should be wiped out are being washed away one by one in the waves and flames. The purpose of my trip has been achieved, thank you for your message. Yours faithfully, joker."
Turn over the paper, and a photo is attached to the back.
In the distant view of the photo, Miyano Akemi and Asai Naomi, who also have long hair, are talking together. In the closer foreground, the white-haired joker can be vaguely seen making scissor hands. grimace.
"Really..." Pulling off the photo, which was unclear as a gift or an answer, Conan muttered and hid the photo deep in his backpack, "This is to prove to me. What..."
As for this question, Miyano Akemi has actually asked it.
"Is it okay to just give him the photo like this?" Watching Karasawa connect the camera to the printer, Miyano Akemi shrugged, "Although I believe that this little detective saved me and Asai Narumi. Sincerely, but isn't this a disguised way of telling him that you have shielded many criminals? If there is a similar situation in the future, the people you save are so consistent with the additional members of the Phantom Thieves, isn't this..."
"Sooner or later, it doesn't matter." Picking up the hot photo paper spit out from the printer, Karasawa blew a breath while his eyes stayed on the dialog box floating in mid-air.
The deviation of fate... What kind of deviation did he cause in Conan's fate? After thinking about it, this is the only thing.
So, he could only give a brief answer in this form.
"Just think of it as giving some feedback to loyal customers." Tang Ze narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Having peace of mind is always a good thing, right?"
All your regrets, as well as my regrets, have been truly redeemed and made up for, so sleep peacefully.
Chapter 2 may not be finished in time
