Phantom Thief of Heart in Conan

The layout of the cognitive world is roughly the same as the real world, and is not as bizarre as the palaces and impression spaces in the original work. Despite the eerie atmosphere, the previous appearance of these buildings can still be seen.

It’s just that the faces of pedestrians on the road are covered with masks, and their original appearance cannot be seen. They move stiffly like puppets on strings, sighing silently.

Compared with this group of lifeless dolls, the taciturn Akatsuki Kurusu also seemed lively. He clenched the sword and gun in his hand and walked among the crowd, looking around vigilantly from time to time to prevent possible dangers. However, he recognized

The residents of Chisekai had no interest in him as an intruder, and turned a blind eye, allowing Akatsuki Kurusu to move around freely.

After walking for a while, Kurusu even plucked up a little courage and bravely stopped a taxi. The masked driver silently opened the door and drove to Ikezawa Yuko's location as he requested.

The taxi traveled smoothly on the muddy road. The driver and passengers both remained silent, letting only the roar of the engine reach their ears.

Ten minutes later, the taxi stalled in front of an apartment building. The driver turned his head mechanically and said the only sentence during the journey:

"Maeke, I charge you three thousand yen."

After being stiff for a while, Kurusu endured the pain and took out three thousand-yuan bills from her wallet and handed them to the driver.

After confirming the money, the driver slowly opened the door and let Qixiao get out of the car.

"Even if you understand the world, it's still difficult to move without money..." Kurusu Akatsuki put away his shriveled wallet and walked into the apartment building. At this time, the map in his hand was changed to a structural diagram of the apartment's interior.

, the exclamation mark representing Yuko Ikezawa hangs on the 25th floor.

Akatsuki Kurusu prepared his weapons and went up the elevator. Faintly, he could hear some women's fierce shouts from above his head. As the elevator climbed higher and higher, the shouts became clearer and filled with vicious curses.

The dirty yelling and swearing were completely out of spite.

The elevator stopped steadily on the 25th floor, and crazy curses and shouts immediately crashed in from the newly opened elevator door:

"Why, why do you take away my opportunity every time! Damn Yoko Okino!"

"What are you better than me? You're a bitch who can only pretend to be cute and obedient! You pretend to be pure in the circle with just your face, and secretly steal the job that belongs to me!"

"Destroy you, yes, I will destroy you!"

Akatsuki Kurusu walked out of the elevator and looked at the woman in the corridor who was covered in black energy. She was the one who issued those vicious curses. The woman was punching and kicking Okino Yoko's door in front of her, venting her resentment. Because

Due to her excessive jealousy, her beautiful face was not hidden by the mask, but it also became hateful and annoying.

Is this Yuko Ikezawa in the cognitive world? Kurusu Akatsuki looked at the malice overflowing from the woman and hesitated whether to get closer. He then looked around and found a door at the end of the corridor and the temperament of the surrounding environment.

It is completely different and shows a strange light. Needless to say, it is also the exit from the cognitive world.

Seeing that the exit was so close to him, Kurusu's anxious heart suddenly stabilized. He stepped lightly and quietly approached the exit with his gun raised. He only entered the cognitive world today to collect intelligence, and there was no need to follow the cognitive world.

Yuko Ikezawa had a conflict.

The distance between him and Shadow Ikezawa Yuko is getting closer and closer, but the other party has been completely blinded by hatred, and the curses in his mouth have become more and more intense. Laixi Xiao takes advantage of this opportunity to sneak in from behind Shadow Ikezawa Yuko

Walk through and approach the exit step by step.

But at this moment, a slim figure suddenly walked out of the elevator and appeared in Kurusu Akatsuki's peripheral vision.

That's... Yoko Okino?!

The person who saw Okino Yoko was not only Akatsuki Kurusu, but also the crazy shadow Yuko Ikezawa.

"Ah, ah! Okino Yoko——"

The woman dominated by jealousy was finally completely dominated by evil thoughts. The huge bat-like wings tore off the human skin covering her body. She finally transformed into a monster called "Succubus" and rushed towards Okino Yoko.

.

And Okino Yoko, who had just stepped out of the elevator, was frightened by the monster that rushed towards her. Dominated by fear, she could only let out a scream based on instinct, but could not take any other action.

Kurusu Akatsuki stumbled over the screams and fell into hesitation for a moment, but looking at the exit that was so close in front of him, he still gritted his teeth and slowly turned forward...

"Are you planning to just walk away?" A male voice from nowhere suddenly sounded in Akatsuki's ears.

Is this... my own voice?

"Because what is being hurt now is just a 'projection' of the cognitive world, so you just plan to walk away?"

"It's not like this……"

"Or is it because you don't have the ability to save the other party, so you plan to leave without saving him?"

"no……"

"Are you powerless or do you have no intention of taking action? Don't you hate the idea of ​​'not taking action when the ship comes to a bridge'?"

"Or is that just a lie to deceive yourself?"

"Stop chirping! I already told you that's not what I think!" Kurusu Akatsuki held the door handle of the exit, turned to the female dream demon behind her, and pulled the trigger!

The high-speed bullet left a small hole in the female dream demon's wing. The pain caused her to instantly change her attention, turned around and rushed towards Kurisu Akatsuki! And Okino Yoko also took advantage of this opportunity without looking back.

He rushed into the elevator and escaped from the clutches of the female dream demon.

"I see, this is your 'action'. As long as you shoot near the exit, you can save her while protecting yourself. Haha, unexpected."

Akatsuki Kurusu ignored the voice in his ears. He had already opened the exit door, and was only one step away from safely leaving the cognitive world!

But he underestimated the enemy's speed after all. Before Kurusu Akatsuki took that step, the female incubus had already approached and reached out to grab his ankle, and threw him to the other end of the corridor!

"Why, why do you want to save that bitch! Are you a fan of hers too!?" The female incubus yelled manically, "How am I worse than her? Why do you guys only set your sights on her?

Don’t look at me!”

After being thrown to pieces, Kurusu Akatsuki stood up unsteadily. At this time, the exit in front was blocked by a female incubus, and the elevator behind him was also in use. He had no way out.

"I can't escape. If I beg this woman for mercy and satisfy her vanity, I might still be able to survive! What do you think, are you going to beg for mercy?"

"Haha, if you say sweet words to such an ugly girl, you will spit out the next night's dinner!" Kurusu Akira sneered and pulled the trigger on the female dream demon again!
