Chapter 568: I’m an embarrassment to all the seniors (sad)
Standing in front of the cinema that he hadn’t seen for many days, Tangze raised his head, looked at the bright neon sign in front of the cinema, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Tang Ze is very familiar with the palace of Feng Gu Ling.
In the beginning, in order to complete his own arrangements, Karasawa would come in and out here from time to time. Firstly, it was to confirm the route so that he could bring Hoshikawa Teru to clean up. Secondly, it was to ensure that the arrangements inside and outside the palace were consistent. .
After all, it is an idealistic world view. If Toru Amuro had some unexpected impressions before he implemented the plan, the layout of the palace had changed to a certain extent. Although the impact would not be big, it would not be beautiful after all.
Of course, he often used this method to avoid Shuichi Akai and Toru Amuro who were still following him at the time - by the way, watch the movie and learn about the years when Rei Fukiya became Toru Amuro.
However, since then, the work of the Phantom Thief of Heart has been officially launched, and with the demands of several activities with different identities, Tangze gradually has no time to do anything but go shopping in other people's palaces. I haven’t been here for several days.
Coming here today, I feel a little strange and warm like going home.
Climbing up the stairs, he walked into the cinema, which was brightly lit even in broad daylight.
"Oh, long time no see." The black-haired man holding a cigarette looked over warily when he noticed the footsteps at the door. He relaxed again when he saw Tang Ze's face, "Are you busy lately?"
Just like in the original P5 work, the cognitive beings in the palace seem to have their own logic of existence. The stronger the will of the palace owner, the more logical and self-consistent the cognitive beings created.
Although the masters of the palace are not aware of it at all, they seem to have their own memories and life trajectories like real living people.
Because Rei Fukiya has no hostility toward Karasawa, Karasawa, except for breaking into the screening room during movie screenings, behaves like an ordinary customer watching a movie. , you have to pay for the movies yourself. Naturally, these cognitive beings living in the palace already have some impressions of Tang Ze.
Intellectually, Tang Ze understood that they were not real human beings, but shadows made up of memories and imaginations. However, seeing them standing in front of him, chatting with him so naturally, it was still difficult to completely separate them from each other. mood.
"Yes, long time no see. I've been too busy recently and haven't had time to come here." Tang Ze smiled at him, stared at the golden eyes exposed on the edge of his sunglasses, and asked proactively, "Why are you standing here on guard? What happened? ”
Rei Fukiya died at the same time. In his own logic, they were all employees of this cinema, and each had their own position in the cinema. He recognized that Matsuda Jinpei was theoretically the security personnel responsible for maintaining order. You usually stand at the ticket gate to check your ticket stubs.
It is relatively rare to come to the entrance and stare at the visitors who come in. At least Tang Ze has never seen it.
"Nothing happened, everything is fine. It's just that Zero was a little nervous, saying that thieves would come and so on..." Matsuda Jinpei shrugged casually, "Please, who would come to steal the movie theater?" Huh? That’s an exaggeration.”
The thief himself stood in the cinema with an awkward but polite smile.
I'm so sorry for having such a worthless Phantom Thief.
In order to ease this delicate feeling, Karasawa changed the topic and said: "Are there any new movies on the shelves recently? I haven't paid attention to them for a long time."
"Here, there." Recognizing Matsuda Jinpei with his thumb Looking back, he pointed to the display stand erected at the back, "The new movie series should be quite interesting."
Tangze followed the location he pointed and successfully found a piece of paper with the words "Fengtani Zero Sum" printed on it. joker poster.
The two figures are like playing cards, with their respective halves up and down, arranged completely symmetrically on the poster. Rei Fukutani frowned and held his gun with the muzzle upward, while Joker held up a playing card with the king printed on it in one hand, with a mysterious and dangerous smile on his lips.
"Cat and Mouse Game"?" After reading the title on the poster, Tang Ze showed an awkward yet polite smile again, "Well, it's very interesting at first glance."
Rei Fangtani likes to record his life in this way. It is certainly a good thing for obtaining information, but as soon as he thinks that all the scenes in his memory may be edited into a film and played in a loop, he suddenly I think cinema is a really bad twist.
"That's it. Thank you, Mr. Matsuda." No longer staring at the weird poster, Karasawa said hello to Matsuda Jinpei and walked towards the ticket office.
The purpose of his coming here today is still the projection room in the palace, which is the attic where he lives.
Although he temporarily fooled Fangtani Rei, who gradually realized something was wrong, Tangze always had a vague feeling of something bad.
In this world, premonitions are something that cannot be underestimated, so although the process may be a bit troublesome, Karasawa chose to go to Furuya Rei's palace to take a look.
"A ticket for the latest "Cat and Mouse Game", thank you."
"Okay, I need to bring one... Hey, it's you." Cognizant Zhu Fu Jingguang raised his head Seeing it was Tang Ze, he smiled gently at him and said, "It seems there is no need to ask. Miss Natalie, a large bucket of popcorn."
Tang Ze handed out the money and towards the counter The short-haired woman standing behind the drinks and snack counter nodded friendly.
"You have spent a lot of money here. Guest, do you really not want to apply for a membership card?" Zhizhu Fu Jingguang printed the receipt and promoted smoothly, "Buy drinks and Snacks are much cheaper.”
“It doesn’t matter, anyway, Mr. Zhufu also charged me the membership price.” Tang Ze pointed to the price tag in his hand.
"Shh." Zhu Fu Jingguang immediately raised a finger when he heard the words, "Don't speak too loudly, it's not good for other guests to hear you."
Look at Qin Jianggu Ling, you The arrangement for the same period is that they all become your subordinates and help you with sales, right?
If they were all still here, I don’t know whether Yu Kazami would finally have a few more colleagues to share the pressure for him, or he would become even busier...
“Anyway, Thank you." Taking the ticket stub and popcorn bucket from him, Tangze walked to the movie theater at the back.
Looking down at the printed film title, Tangze looked up again, looking at the huge promotional picture for the release of the new film, and couldn't help but shake his head.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't pay his appearance fee. If he wants to watch a movie starring himself, he has to pay for it. Suddenly he feels like he has encountered a profiteer.
The person in charge of checking tickets this time was Zhi Dahang, who was wearing the uniform of a foreman - by the way, they still called him squad leader, but he became this squad leader - after the same friendly greetings , watching Tangze walk into Hall 2 in front.
Tang Ze held the ticket stub in his pocket, stuffed popcorn into his mouth, found his seat with ease, and walked toward the projection room with light at the back after the lights dimmed.
Just like other halls, Fangtani Rei's hall also has many spatial dislocations caused by deep distortion. A simple back panel cannot always accurately find the location of the screening room, so Karasawa has become accustomed to it. After waiting for the movie to start, I followed the light to find the operation of the projection room.
Find the direction, find the door, open the door, and step in.
Cognitive Tangze, who was wearing a Didan school uniform and had been chopped into pieces by Tangze himself, was holding a book and curled up on the soft bean bag sofa, flipping through it.
To the person who suddenly broke in, he only gave a distant glance, turned back, and continued his work.
——Maybe it’s because he killed him once. This is the only cognitive existence in Tang Ze’s Hall of Fangtani Rei whose reputation is indifference.
With the showdown between Karasawa and Toru Amuro, and the two becoming more and more familiar with each other, this attic, which is theoretically a weak point in the palace, has also undergone many changes. In addition to the actual soft decoration As a result, many decorations related to Tangze's impression have appeared, such as guns, eavesdropping equipment, disguise props, etc.
This is what Karasawa wanted to confirm, and he got the answer almost the moment he walked in the door.
"...It's over, it's all over."
Looking at the Phantom Thieves logo poster that suddenly appeared on the wall of the loft, Karasawa couldn't help but sigh at the fact that this place was increasingly similar to the cafe loft in the game, and held up his hands Holding his head, he slowly squatted down and let out a mournful cry.
What did he say? What kind of shameful thing is it that coop4 just lost its horse? One word comes true!
He knew that everyone looked up and saw each other every day, and Jiangu Ling was not that easy to fool!
As a wild person, I really feel sorry for the ancestors of the P series for being so embarrassed!
Recognizing Tang Ze's speechless gaze, Tang Ze, who had just walked into the attic, turned around and walked out with a stiff expression on his face, as if he had accidentally walked into the wrong toilet.
When I walked out of the screening room, the opening part of the film had just finished playing in the cinema outside. The white-haired and black-robed Phantom Thief turned over nimbly, half-kneeling on the hood of the car, grinning wildly at the people in the car window, as well as at the camera and the audience in the movie theater.
Tangze, who had already guessed how the next plot might play out: "..."
Get away, get away, get rid of all those crappy posters of yours when you get out. Tear it apart!
He said, a palace in the form of a cinema, eh——
————
“Good morning, guest, I haven’t seen you for a few hours, I miss you so much.”

Standing at the bar, Leon was shaking a glass of whiskey with a big ice ball on it. He was not surprised that Karasawa appeared at the door.
Still, just like the original P5 game, although other teammates cannot see it, Karasawa can see the quick entrance to the Velvet Room at the entrance of each hall and on the first floor of the subway.
With the improvement of COOP, after Leon can appear in reality, this entrance can appear in more places. Even if he is not sleeping, Tangze can easily walk into his bar. In the eyes of others, he He just stood there in a daze for a few seconds.
Almost as soon as he walked out of Fangtani Rei Hall, Tangze dove in without thinking.
Karazawa sat down at the bar, grinding his teeth as he looked at the bourbon shaking leisurely in Leon's hand.
At this time, he will deeply feel that sometimes it is really good that the Velvet Assistant is a three-no-type.
"What should we do now? If we are discovered here, our career as a Phantom Thief will be over, right?" Leon smiled and took a sip of wine. "Wow, I have to say that the coop 4 stage is complete. Someone guessed something..."
"Then what can I do?" Tangze clicked his tongue, feeling depressed, "It's not my choice to revolve around Mouri Kogoro's case. The case has been triggered by them. I won't intervene and just sit back. Are you watching the case happening there and watching the regrets form? This is completely a rescue excavation, okay?"
Tang Ze, who had already bought the tickets, simply broke the pot and sat in the movie theater. I watched the whole show with tears in my eyes and popcorn.
As he initially expected, this story has many similar structural styles to stories about monster thieves and police detectives, and it is a work that fits the title very well.
Although Karasawa did not feel that as a joker, he deliberately targeted the Rei group, it was obvious that Rei Fukiya, who was chasing after them and digging relentlessly, did not think so.
The entire film was filmed as a battle of wits where you come and go, leaving no clues. As the pursuer, Feng Gurei, after experiencing a complete set of emotional changes, slowly began to tighten up. A great web of reasoning.
The story is full of ups and downs and exciting, especially for Karasawa.
Immersive experience the feeling of being hunted, heart-stopping, immersive, and a strong sense of immersion.
The last shot of the film is fixed on the face of Toru Amuro watching Karasawa enter the door.
Like every night when the Polo Cafe closed, he stood at the bar with a cloth and wiped the glass in his hand. He looked at Karasawa who said hello and said he was back, revealing his A very cunning smile.
It was scary, just scary, especially when Tangze realized that it should be the moment last night when he returned to the cafe from Judy's house after eating and drinking.
Don't tell me, the editing speed is pretty fast, right?
Karasawa took a depressed sip of the wine that Leon handed him, and shook his head helplessly: "I reviewed it carefully, how should I put it, who made Toru Amuro my temporary guardian, and he is Where is my comrade in a sense? There are too many times when I can't avoid his eyes. Comparing the appearance patterns of me and joker, it is almost certain that he will notice me as long as he breaks my cover. It’s my job, right?”
“Okay, it’s not your job.” With some sympathy, Leon raised his hand and patted Tang Ze on the shoulder.
After careful calculation, due to his special identity and nature of work, and the fact that Toru Amuro lives downstairs at the Mori Detective Agency, there are really not many opportunities to make smoke bombs.
Fanggu Ling is not an easy guy to deal with. He is sharp and has strong execution ability. If he has doubts, he will definitely take action as soon as possible. He would notice Kudo Shinichi, and naturally, he would also notice Karasawa.
If it were another person, unless he chose the route of total deception from the beginning, it would be the same, and there would be no way to get anything good from him.
"So what are you going to do next, continue the showdown?" When he said this, Leon's voice still inevitably sounded a bit like watching a good show.
"What else can we do? Keep pretending to be stupid." Tang Ze held up his face and stared straight ahead with dead eyes, as if he was ready to show off, "I already have the evidence to this point. , he didn’t handcuff me directly, nor did he come to me to test or clarify, which means he felt that it wasn’t that time yet, so he just pretended not to know and let’s see who loses his composure first.”< br>
At the beginning, Shitani Rei proposed to contact joker. The purpose was still to target the organization and seek cooperation and more information.
Now, he has basically locked on Karasawa, so in fact, the two lines of joker and Karasawa have become one. There is no contradiction. In fact, the focus of his work has not happened yet. change.
At this point, there is really no need to get to the bottom of it. Next, I know but pretend not to know, I know you already know but I also pretend not to know that you know... This is an endless matryoshka process.
What can I do? Just smile.
"Pfft..." Then Leon really laughed.
Sure enough, sympathy is sympathy. You can still take a look at the excitement. Anyway, I am not the one who died in society.
Tangze, who read this sentence from Leon's eyes, hammered the table with some grief and anger: "Xiaoxiaoxiao, you are still in the mood to laugh. He is my current collaborator with the highest COOPrank. Ah. It’s over. Isn’t it possible that none of my vests will survive to the later stage?”
"It's okay, aren't there Maori Lan, Maori Kogoro, Suzuki Sonoko and the like to give you the full details?" Leon chuckled and reluctantly added a sentence to express comfort.
Where is the bottom line? Aren't these just the few people in his coop who couldn't identify Conan's identity?
Hey guys, my vest also looks like an emperor’s new clothes, right? Conan is actually me?
Tangze sighed deeply, and suddenly felt the urge to go out and chat with Conan.
The main thing is to ask him what it is like to not be able to wear a vest at all, and to do some psychological counseling for myself.
"Forget it, the matter has come to this, I can only give an acceptance speech, there is nothing left to do." Tangze smacked his mouth, put down the wine glass in his hand, and picked up another goblet on the bar. "I'm here to ask you this. You said before that as long as you collect a cup, there will be a surprise. Now I have completed the task. Where is my task reward?"
I saw in Tang Ze's hand, The tall wine glass has been completely filled with fine golden sand. As Karasawa shakes, the rugged waves refract and shine on the wooden table.
There seemed to be a layer of weird tension at the mouth of the cup. No matter how much Karasawa shook it, nothing leaked out.
This is the reason why Tangze chose to take out two lust stones and give them to Kidd——
He has collected enough, and he can give more to his friends to play with. .
Leon nodded and looked at the cup in his hand for a moment.
Then Momo took out a new empty cup and placed it on the table.
Karasawa: "...Bullshit!"
I rushed to watch M26 for the first time today. I would like to call it a bad luck for the organization
Hello Too bad, Gin! ! ! 【Wiping tears
