Phantom Thief of Heart in Conan

Early the next morning, Akatsuki Kurusu was sent to high school by Dr. Agasa to report. As a juvenile delinquent under probation, he did not have the right to choose his own high school. In the end, the "troublesome" high school that kindly accepted him was

Teitan High School is also located in Yoneka Town.

"My name is Kurusu Akatsuki. I just transferred here. I hope I can get along well with everyone in the coming days!"

In Class B of the second year of Teidan High School, Kurusu Akatsuki stood on the podium and introduced himself. The eyes of the audience were looking at him with a mix of fear and curiosity. It seems that the news that he had a criminal record had already spread.

While the high school students in the audience were looking at Akatsuki Kurusu, Akatsuki Kurusu was also looking at them secretly. His eyes calmly moved away from the girl wearing a headband in the audience, and looked to the other side with a beautiful face.

The girl with a look of worry on her face floated over.

Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran, then the empty seat next to it belongs to Kudo Shinichi?

Akatsuki Kurusu looked away and walked to the empty seat in the back row according to the teacher's instructions.

At first glance, this high school is not much different from Tedan High School in anime and comics. There are only characters related to Conan. Such as the volleyball teacher who physically punishes the students, the bald principal with a big belly, and the student council president who looks serious but is wild at heart.

Such roles do not exist.

He opened his schoolbag and planned to take out a book to store as a good student. However, at this time, he found a strange note pad in his schoolbag.

The note pad is about the size of a palm, with a strange eye pattern printed in black ink on the red background cover, but other than that there is nothing special about it.

"This pattern...isn't this the 'different world navigation app' in P5?" Akatsuki turned over the note pad suspiciously. In Persona 5, the protagonist relies on the other world navigation app to travel to and from the inner world of humans.

Steal the "heart" of evil people and make them repent. And this notepad may be a substitute for the navigation app in another world. After all, there is currently no concept of smartphones in Ke Xue's world, although judging from the situation of this world, it is probably "a

In two months "smartphones will become commonplace...

So the question is, how to use this note pad? Kurusu Akatsuki spread the note pad on the table and pressed the ballpoint pen in his right hand uneasily. In the game, if you want to steal a person's "heart" and make him repent, you must first

All that is needed is the name of the target.

Maybe, I need to write the name of the villain who committed the crime? Kurusu Akira thought about how the Phantom Thieves used the app in P5 and made this speculation.

The villain who committed the crime, what happened after Conan became smaller? It seems to be a case where a little girl from a rich family was kidnapped... No, this case should have been solved last night.

So what’s the next case? Which female star does it seem to be related to? Yes! It’s Okino Yoko! It’s the suicide of Okino Yoko’s boyfriend!

But, what is the name of Okino Yoko’s boyfriend?

After finally seeing hope, Akatsuki Kurusu was immediately discouraged. Although he was deeply impressed by the case, he was not impressed enough to write down the name of the prisoner. And without a name, there was a high probability that he would not be able to use the note.

I am indeed a fake fan... He wrote down listlessly "Okino Yoko's boyfriend" on his notepad, but as expected there was no response.

"Alas, in this era of underdeveloped information technology, it is still too difficult to find the love history of a popular female idol. We can only rely on some gossip tabloids and gossip... Huh? Tidbits?!"

…………

After school, Kurusu Akatsuki bought a gossip magazine from a newsstand near the campus and started reading it carefully on the roadside. But his purpose was not to find Okino Yoko's love history - there is no gossip in this regard at the moment -

—but to find the name of another female star.

That's right, what Akatsuki Kurusu wants to find is the actress who stalked Okino Yoko in the original case.

"He debuted at the same time as Okino Yoko, but his popularity is lower than her, and he has a bad relationship with her... I found it! The position of the heroine of the series was replaced by Okino Yoko, you are right!"

Kurusu Akatsuki's eyes stopped on a photo of a gorgeously dressed actress, with her name written underneath the photo - Ikezawa Yuko.

"Then now, let's give it a try!" Kurusu Akatsuki took out a note pad and nervously wrote the name "Ikezawa Yuko" on it.

At the moment when he finished the last stroke, Kurusu suddenly felt dizzy and dizzy, forcing him to close his eyes to relieve his confused consciousness.

And when he opened his eyes again, the world had suddenly changed - the clouds in the originally bright and clear sky were drooping, and there was no trace of sunlight. The miserable wind was howling from all directions, and the sighs of men and women were mixed with the wind.

Here, it echoes in the sky and on the earth.

Akatsuki Kurusu stood on the dark and bumpy roadside, looking at the lifeless crowd in front of him whose faces were covered by darkness. He was also affected by this gloomy environment for a moment. He couldn't help but droop his shoulders and feel depressed.

But it didn't take long for him to wake up again, steady his mind amidst the strong wind and sighs, and no longer be shaken by the outside world. He lowered his head and looked at the palm of his hand. The notepad originally lying in it was replaced by a map at some point.

Drawn among them is a distinctive exclamation point symbol and a red mask symbol.

"Sure enough, the way to use sticky notes is to write the name of the target on it. So, this should be the 'Cognitive World'!" Akatsuki Kurusu waved his fist excitedly, and his guess was not wrong!

"It seems that the exclamation mark on this map should represent the location of Ikezawa Yuko, and the mask mark should be my location."

"So, what I have to do next is to find the heart of Yuko Ikezawa who lives here?"

Akatsuki Kurusi glanced around again, and saw a lonely phone booth standing on the dark side of the road. The only place there was not obscured by the clouds, and it was a bright scene. Akatsuki Kurusi folded the map and put it away, and walked in the direction of the phone booth.

Just as he expected, when he entered the phone booth, he returned to the bright real world.

"I see, something that is completely different from the surrounding environment is the 'exit'. In this way, you don't have to worry about getting lost in the cognitive world." Kurusu Akatsuki used the scratch pad again and re-entered the cognitive world, ensuring a way out.

He completely lost his worries and planned to further explore this unknown world.

Kurusu took out the "weapons" prepared in advance from her schoolbag - a sharp dagger and a pistol. In the real world, they are just ordinary toys, but in the cognitive world, they will become real objects.

Weapons of lethality.

According to the memory in Akatsuki Kurusu's mind, he knows that there are monsters called "shadows" in the world. He has not yet awakened the power like the protagonist of the original work, and he can only rely on such weapons to protect himself.

"If I can find Yuko Ikezawa, maybe the 'talent that can subvert everything' hidden in me that Eagle said can be awakened... No, even if I can't be awakened, I still have to find her!"

"I can't help it. What I hate the most is when the ship arrives at the bridge but doesn't do anything!"
