I made a fictional reasoning in Tokyo

The election of the new director of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department organized by Tokugawa Katsuharu will take place in about a week.

This time, Tokugawa Katsuharu plans to hold a grand election for the new director.

The reason is of course not for show, but to inform more people about his ambitions and at the same time force members of these big families to participate.

The ambition of Lord Tokugawa...the Phantom Thieves can get a glimpse of it from his palace.

At this moment, Amamiya Rin has led everyone from the Phantom Thieves to Tokugawa Katsuji's palace.

The key word for his palace is 'arsenal'. This key word was also guessed by Ye Falcon and conveyed to Rin Amamiya through the spirit of the falcon.

The specific scenery in the hall is a giant castle tower floating above downtown Tokyo.

It's just that this building is not entirely in the ancient style of the Warring States Period. Instead, both the walls and the interior of the building reveal a chilling metal mechanical structure style.

The shadow figures moving among them are all a group of mechanical cyborg warriors.

"Welcome everyone, you are the Phantom Thieves of the Heart that were widely rumored on the Internet before, right? I thought it was a young man's joke at first... I never thought that there really are Phantom Thieves who can steal other people's desires."

Shadow Tokugawa Katsuji had already stood at the door of his palace, waiting for everyone from the Phantom Thieves to arrive.

This Tokugawa Katsuji's shadow dress is a very ordinary Warring States Daimyo image. If it weren't for the ancient costume on him...it would be no different from him in reality.

"Tokugawa Katsuharu! Japan's most violent criminal and the biggest behind-the-scenes sponsor of the sobering agent case! We are here specifically to take away your twisted desires!"

Hoshino Mirai pointed at Tokugawa Katsuji with one hand, and the rotating saw blade held in the other hand had begun to make a sizzling sound.

Because it is no exaggeration to say that Tokugawa Katsuji is definitely the biggest mastermind behind the proliferation of brain-boosting drugs in Japan.

"My twisted desire? Hahaha...those four, no, five young Phantom Thieves, do you know what my twisted desire is?"

The shadow Tokugawa Katsuji didn't appear as angry as the previous shadows. Instead, he was interested in chatting with the four Phantom Thieves, including the falcon spirit of a leaf falcon.

"I...the desire to make money by relying on brain-refreshing drugs is twisted enough. Have you ever thought that that money...is stained with the blood of innocent people?" Amamiya Rin shouted to Tokugawa Katsuji.

"A brain-refreshing drug? Make money? The Japanese yen is just a number to me."

Shadow Tokugawa Katsuji shook his head in disappointment.

"You don't even know what my twisted desires are, and you still say you want to come and steal them? It's really ridiculous..."

After he said this, the gate of the castle tower suddenly opened, and he made an invitation gesture to everyone in the Phantom Thieves.

"Come in, the little girls of the Amamiya family and the Hyakkiin family, I will tell you in detail what I want to do for this country, and the little girl of the Hoshino family... As the traitors of our country, you Hoshino family, why don't you still You should be grateful to me for being alive."

traitor? Hoshino family? Although Hoshino Mirai knew that his family background was not simple, otherwise he would not have such a luxurious ancestral home.

But where did this traitorous narrative come from?

"Is it possible it's a trap?" Kusaku Sogo felt hesitant for a moment when he saw that the hall master was so friendly this time.

"Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

However, Ye Falcon's falcon spirit stood on Amamiya Rin's shoulder and shouted.

"Yaha said that if it's a trap, we can just use smoke bombs and the home track to escape."

Amamiya Rin took out two 'homemade smoke bombs' and an 'escape rope' that she made under Ye Shun's guidance.

"Shadows generally show a person's true inner thoughts. The secrets that Tokugawa Katsuji can hide in his heart cannot be hidden by him as a shadow."

Hyakkiin Chiyo also agreed with Ye Shun's suggestion.

"I'm also very curious about what these big families in Japan have been preparing for these years."

"..."

Hoshino Mirai didn't object. Before starting the fight, it was really necessary to figure out why this enemy... was an 'enemy'.

Shadow Tokugawa Katsuharu did not set any traps for the Phantom Thieves, mainly because he did not bother to do so.

After he brought the Phantom Thieves to a room that looked like a combat command room, he showed them a holographic projection of a world map.

"Everyone in the Phantom Thieves is probably still a high school student, but please guess... how long will it take for the Eagle Kingdom to destroy our country? And do we have the ability to resist?"

Shadow Tokugawa Katsuharu is now like a teacher teaching international politics to everyone, throwing a very strange question to Amamiya Rin and others.

Of course, the Eagle Country refers to America. Due to the fact that there has been little change in the modern history of this world, Japan and Bang Country are still two good dogs under America's control.

"In an instant, Takashi Nation was able to do it just by relying on the two military bases Takashi Nation deployed in our country." Kusaku Sogo, a first-class honors student, said, "Although it is not stated clearly...but we are originally from this country. A vassal country is not even qualified to resist."

"Then what if I say...now we have found a way to resist?"

Shadow Tokugawa Katsuji's face was finally shrouded in an expression called 'ambition'.

"Not only did we find a way to resist, we even found a way to trample Eagle Country under our feet!"

What spring and autumn dream are you doing? ! When everyone in the Phantom Thieves heard Tokugawa Katsuji's speech, their first reaction was that the old man had gone crazy.

Although high school students like Rin Amamiya and others really don't care much about international events, as the Phantom Thieves, they have accomplished their mission by clearing away the shadows within their own country.

But the biggest reason for not caring is Rin Amamiya. Even most of the new generation of Japanese young people have no favorable impression of their country.

Not to mention national confidence and pride...their attitude towards their own country is indifferent.

This does not mean that Amamiya Rin and others are not patriotic. On the contrary, the country of Japan has completely wiped out the patriotism of the young people of their generation.

The various stupid decisions of Congress, the endless corruption cases in Japan, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's indifference to the Yakuza forces, and even the proliferation of brain-refreshing drugs, etc.

It was the people in power in this country who first betrayed the trust of the people in this country, so don't expect the people to side with their country at this time.

Therefore, when everyone in the Phantom Thieves heard Tokugawa Katsuji's ambition, their hearts did not waver at all, and they didn't even want to laugh.

"Guuuuu!" Ye Xuan called out at the right moment.

"Yaha is curious about the specific method to trample the Eagle Kingdom under its feet?" Amamiya Rin translated its eagle language for Ye Falcon.

"The first thing I rely on is this."

Tokugawa Katsuharu, like a child showing off his toys, waved his hand and turned the projected image, recalling the sceneries in his memory and speaking.

"The ultimate dragon blood brain-refreshing agent, it can increase a person's physical fitness to fifteen times in an instant. If it is injected, it is possible to increase it to twenty times."

"Such an instant super human is a deadly weapon in any situation. Coupled with our years of infiltration into the Eagle Nation's top brass."

"So as long as the plan goes well, we can create a management vacuum in this country in a short period of time."

Everyone in the Phantom Thieves... after hearing about Tokugawa Katsuji's ambitions, their first reaction was...

Do you want Hiroshima and Nagasaki to become the most shining places in the world again?

Ye Xuan's first reaction was... I support you guys biting each other.

But Tokugawa Katsuji is a completely mad dog, and if he bites him, the whole world will be in chaos.

Tokugawa Katsuji's ambition and his twisted desires are truly unparalleled. If his ambition is really revealed, the whole of Japan will suffer along with it.

"Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

"Yah, he just said, 'Stupid! Even if there is a vacuum in the power level of Eagle Country, someone will soon fill it. You are just building a chain of hatred.'" Amamiya Rin helped Ye Falcon translate. explain.

"Then let's just let our people make up for it? Coercion, control...especially the abilities of your Phantom Thieves, change your mind!"

When Shadow Tokugawa Shengji said this, his tone was already trembling with excitement.

"Haven't you ever understood... is this power enough to control the entire world? Are you still using this power to commit petty theft?"

"Come on! Phantom Thieves! Join us." After saying this, Shadow Tokugawa Katsuji extended his hand to everyone in the Phantom Thieves and said, "Let's work together... to let this country stand at the top of the world."

"Let you stand on the top of this world?"

Hoshino Mirai finally couldn't stand the arrogant speech of Shadow Tokugawa Katsuji.

"If you really want to think about the future of this country, what you should be thinking about is how to rectify the endless violent crimes in society, and how to use brain-rejuvenating drugs to seek more benefits for the general public and allow truly capable people to board the board. It’s your place at the helm, not you morons!”

"It seems that we can't reach a consensus. Today's young people should not be able to understand...how small and barren this island country is."

Shadow Tokugawa Katsuji raised his hand directly... The ground suddenly experienced a distortion and quickly zoomed away from the location of him and the Phantom Thieves.

"But it doesn't matter... Once the spiritual disaster begins, I can easily obtain power far beyond that of you Phantom Thieves."

When the Phantom Thieves came to their senses, they had already been sent to the entrance of this mechanical castle tower.

But this conversation alone was enough for the Phantom Thieves to make up their mind that they would never let this bad old man succeed in his ambition.

Because once Tokugawa Shengji succeeds in his ambition, whether it is success or failure, it will drag this country into the abyss called war again.
