I made a fictional reasoning in Tokyo

Mashima Kazusa drove Hoshino Mirai directly to the door of Hoshimi Detective Agency.

The detective agency is located in a building near Sensoji Temple in Tokyo.

Of course, Hoshimi Detective Agency cannot afford to buy an entire building, so the 20th to 25th floors of this building are the offices of Hoshimi Detective Agency.

"The navigation is over here? Are you really just asking me to go back to the office?"

Hoshino Mirai looked at the different world navigation app on her phone, and it was over when she got downstairs in this building.

This inevitably made Hoshino Mirai a little disappointed. She thought that this APP that could not be deleted was some powerful hacker who wanted to help her point out the way forward, so she installed it on her phone.

But now how does Hoshino Mirai feel that this hacker is not trying to help her, but just playing tricks on her?

But Hoshino Mirai didn't complain too much. This time she went back to Xingjian Detective Agency, and she wanted to talk about it with the other seniors in the agency.

When Mirai Hoshino pressed the elevator to the 20th floor, she finally discovered something unusual about the surrounding environment... that is, the elevator was not rising but falling!

This building did have a parking lot on the first and second floors, but the elevator was falling crazily...it didn't stop until it reached the 1,995th floor.

what happened? Whose prank is it? But what happened to the sudden feeling of falling just now?

When Hoshino Mirai was in a state of panic, the elevator door finally opened... However, the scenery presented in front of Hoshino Mirai made her freeze in place for two or three seconds.

The view outside the elevator door is neither a parking lot nor a hidden underground facility, but... an extremely luxurious cinema under the starry sky, which can be called a splendid cinema!

The movie theater is decorated in a Las Vegas casino style.

"What...is this place? The underground parking lot of the building, or outside the building?"

Hoshino Mirai cautiously walked out of the elevator. When she looked back, she found that the elevator had completely disappeared.

She seemed to be completely trapped in this Las Vegas-like movie theater space.

supernatural event?

Hoshino Mirai remembered that Ikuyo Hyakkiin once reminded him that miracles and magic might exist in this world.

At that time, Hoshino Mirai just regarded it as a joke after Hyakkiin Ikuyo drank too much, but...

In addition to the supernatural events, Hoshino Mirai really can’t understand what the environment he is in now is going on!

While Hoshino Mirai's cognitive outlook was slightly shocked by the Phantom Thief, the shadow inhabiting this cinema also discovered her.

"We found the eldest lady! Bring her to the director's wife quickly!"

"What lady? Who are you?" Hoshino Mirai saw someone approaching and immediately took a stance ready to fight.

But when she saw the group of people clearly, she was stunned.

They were a group of two-meter-tall figures in black suits. Although their faces were covered by masks... there were signs of dark liquid flowing under the suits, which proved that these guys were not human beings!

This group of shadows did not harm Hoshino Mirai, and tied her up directly...

By the way, he ignored Hoshino Mirai's struggling and threatening sounds and tied her directly to the stage of the cinema... Then Hoshino Mirai found that he was tied to a wooden cross.

"Hey... what is this place? Who are you?" Hoshino Mirai shouted to the shadows in the audience.

But suddenly the lights in the auditorium came on, and Hoshino Mirai discovered that there was a very familiar figure sitting in the center of the auditorium, her mother Hoshino Takako.

But at this moment, Takako Hoshino was wearing a resplendent evening dress, and her face was heavily made up with gold powder. She looked extremely extravagant.

"Mother?" Hoshino Mirai had never seen his mother wearing such a fancy dress.

"Mirai, it's great that you are willing to come back in time. It's still too late to admit your mistakes and correct them. Come on... Mirai will apologize to the audience now." Shadow Takako Hoshino stood up and said to his daughter.

"Apologise...what are you apologizing for?" Hoshino Mirai had already realized that something was wrong with the mother in front of her.

"Of course you can't tell the audience the behind-the-scenes truth about the movie you performed in, and you have to promise the audience that you will never...never want to leak the truth." Shadow Takako Hoshino said.

"The truth behind the movie...Mother, are you talking about the cases you planned?"

Hoshino Mirai understood quickly. She quickly realized what her mother was implying, and then she was successfully angered by her mother's unreasonableness.

"Mom, the cases you planned are not movies! The people you paid to kill... they were all innocent! And you did this just to be famous... to help you make money!"

Just when Hoshino Mirai was about to go all out and scold her mother, the pyre placed under her was suddenly ignited.

The ignited flame began to burn rapidly along the firewood pile, and Hoshino Mirai could feel the scorching temperature burning his skin.

"This is really sad, Mirai! Once you tell the truth to the audience, the audience will be like now... they will treat you like a witch and put you on the fire rack!"

"What you end up with is not only ruined reputation, but also ridicule and slander from all directions! This is far more painful than death!"

"In the future, do you decide to live in this hell for the rest of your life?"

"Yes... so what?" Hoshino Mirai roared loudly to his mother, "At least this way I can still live like a human being! A guy who can survive by hurting innocent people and knocking on the heads of ordinary people to suck out the marrow! In my eyes, they are worse than pigs and dogs!”

Just when Hoshino Mirai was about to say something, her head suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a voice echoed in her mind...

‘As you said, those who live by oppressing the people are like pigs. '

'But looking at this country, there are pigs and dogs everywhere, and courtiers everywhere. This place...has become as filthy as a pigsty. '

‘Rather than this, it’s better to set off a big fire and burn the whole city to ashes! '

‘It doesn’t matter if she is regarded as a witch! Even if you will be sent to the stake to be tortured, why not be afraid...'

'Roar... the princess who is entangled in puppet strings, use this scorching fire of truth! Burn all the nonsense in this world! '

'I am you, and you are me, even in the face of all kinds of slander, we will still not give in! '

When Hoshino Miku heard this, the strength in her hands was so strong that she could completely break free from the ropes that bound her...

And Hoshino Mirai also grabbed the persona that appeared on his face, and tore it off with all his flesh and blood with all his strength.

"Proclaim the existence of truth to the world! Joan of Arc!"

After Hoshino Mirai threw his persona high into the sky, the persona instantly transformed into a female figure in jet-black glyph armor.

A weapon like a sledgehammer also appeared in Hoshino Mirai's hand. It should not be said to be a sledgehammer but a rotating saw blade!

The front part of this strange weapon began to spin at high speed like a chainsaw, and the sound of friction between the sharp teeth was indescribably harsh and strange.

"Although I don't know what's going on now, what kind of power is this..."

Hoshino Mirai used her thumb to press the button that started the circular chainsaw at the front. At this moment, her entire body was changed into a phantom thief uniform with a jet black shawl.

"But all I know now... is to smash this place into chaos! Mother, take care... this is the only time in your daughter's life! You will arrange a performance on the stage!"

Stage Girl, Mirai Hoshino...Reproduction starts today!

Hoshino Mirai said as he raised the chainsaw and hit the shadows in the audience directly. The rotating saw blade rotated at high speed and directly twisted a shadow into debris.

The Persona Jeanne d'Arc behind her also swung her sword and slashed out a black flame that split from the middle to form two walls of fire, directly blocking the path of Shadow Takako Hoshino.

"We really should have a good talk about mother." Hoshino Mirai slowly approached his old mother with a rotating saw blade still stained with black blood.

But at this moment, a huge shadow suddenly jumped in front of Hoshino Mirai.

"Protect the director's wife!"

The shadow first let out a low growl, and then its entire figure was completely distorted, turning into a giant monster with the body of a bull, beast and spider in a blink of an eye.

"Niugui?"

Hoshino Mirai recognized the origin of this monster at a glance, but the moment he recognized it, the cow ghost also swung its sharp claws and slashed at Hoshino Mirai.

She subconsciously raised her weapon to block it, but Niu Gui's sharp claws knocked her whole body away and hit her hard on the stage behind.

"etc…"

When Hoshino Mirai wanted to stand up and continue to chase her mother, she found that her whole body had no strength and her consciousness began to gradually blur.

The awakening of the persona consumes a lot of physical strength. When Hoshino Mirai noticed this, she could no longer stand up at all.

And the cow ghost roared and rushed towards her... But at this moment, a black shadow fell from the sky and hit the cow ghost hard on the head.

who? Hoshino Mirai found that she didn't even have the strength to speak, but the second before she fell into coma, she still saw three figures in strange costumes...

One is wearing a hunter's hat and a shawl evening gown, and the mask looks like a rabbit, while the other is wearing a black feather shawl and a medieval bird's beak mask...

There is also a character with bandages wrapped around his fists and hands, wearing a top hat and a shabby cloak, and a mask with black and white stripes like a killer whale.

At the end there seems to be...an owl?

At this moment, no matter how much Hoshino Mirai didn't want to believe it in her heart, she had to associate the true identities of these three people and the owl with the miracle that Ye Shuan expected...or rather, the fairy tale. .

That means the 'Phantom Thieves of the Heart' are real.
