Chapter 828: palace

Chapter 828 Palace

After determining the target, the Phantom Thieves and their group came to the streets and began to discuss the next plan.

“I already know the target’s name, and then I just need to know where she thinks she is, and then we can take action!”

Sakamoto Ryuji was dancing happily, while Amamiya Ren and Kitagawa Yusuke looked helpless.

The reason why they are able to become Phantom Thieves and make people change their past depends on a strange mobile phone APP. This APP is similar to a navigation software. As long as you enter the name of the target and then determine the location and main buildings, you can enter the other party's home. The inner world - and this is also called the palace by the members of the Phantom Thieves.

Of course, these alone are not enough. Next, the Phantom Thieves have to sneak into the other person's inner world and find the source of the other person's desire - but there is no way to steal it at this time, because when there is no threat, the source of other people's desire is ambiguous. Unknown and cannot be captured.

So next, the Phantom Thieves will issue a notice letter to the other party in the real world. In this way, the source of desire in the other party's inner world will appear. Then the Phantom Thieves only need to steal this source of desire, and then the other party will repent. Renewed.

Now they only know Duanmu Ai's name, but they haven't determined where she is.

So next, the Phantom Thieves will conduct an investigation in this area.

but………

“Do any of you have any ideas?”

Facing Kitagawa Yusuke’s question, Ren Amamiya and Ryuji Sakamoto both shook their heads.

“She’s not your classmate?”

"That's what I said, but she doesn't interact with people very much in the class, and she's not an easy person to get along with."

Sakamoto Ryuji shook his head, and then looked at Ren Amamiya as if he thought of something.

“By the way, that post didn’t say that she became an actress? Is that so?”

“I asked the teacher and she said that Duanmu is on leave until the end of the month, but she didn’t say the specific reason.”

"Then let's watch first... didn't she go to the TV station? Then it's the TV station!"

As he spoke, Sakamoto Ryuji entered the TV station, but the APP did not respond.

“Theatre?”

"Cinema?"

“Busty street?”

I entered a lot of words, but no response came out, which made everyone speechless for a while. In fact, they didn't know much about Duanmu Ai, and he didn't have much contact with them. In other words, Duanmu Ai's relationship with everyone in the class was average, and he didn't have many good friends.

“It can’t be the whole world!”

Just when Sakamoto Ryuji said this speechlessly, suddenly, the APP reacted.

【Search destination has been set】

　　　…………”

Everyone was stunned when they heard the indifferent electronic voice of the APP.

"Hey, hey, are you kidding? What the **** is this whole world? What does that woman think of this world?"

“I didn’t expect that there would be such a person...”

Even Kitagawa Yusuke could not hide his surprise. In the first two times, their opponents only locked on individual buildings. For example, Kamoshida regards the school as his castle, while Madarame regards his shabby apartment as a magnificent art museum.

But what about targeting the entire world?

What on earth is this woman thinking?

Generally speaking, everyone’s ability and ambition are directly proportional. Does this woman have the ability to influence the world?

“The world...could it be a ship?”

“Maybe it’s a playground?”

“Treasury?”

Just as Kitagawa Yusuke and Sakamoto Ryuji were thinking, suddenly Ren Amamiya raised his head and stared at the mobile phone in front of him.

　　… “…cemetery.”

【Navigation has started——Destination has been reached】

Before Ren Amamiya could finish his words, suddenly, the world around him began to distort. Everything in front of him began to distort and deform. After a while, it was completely overturned.

"What's this?"

Looking at the world in front of them blankly, whether it was Ren Amamiya, Ryuji Sakamoto or Yusuke Kitagawa, they all showed unimaginable stiff expressions. The reason is simple, just look at what's happening in front of them.

The once bustling streets have now become messy and dilapidated. Everywhere is shrouded in raging fires. The streets are full of corpses. Tombstones emerge from the belly of the corpses, pointing high to the sky. All the buildings were in dilapidated condition, and a huge burning sun covered almost half of the sky, but there was no heat at all.

Flames were clearly burning all around, and the brilliance of the sun almost enveloped the entire earth, but all that was felt was the icy chill in the cold storage.

“This, what on earth is this?”

Sakamoto Ryuji's legs were trembling uncontrollably at this moment. Even Amamiya Ren and Kitagawa Yusuke's expressions were equally ugly at this moment - this world is so terrifying, dead silent, without any sign of life, it seems Only traces of destruction swept across everything.

“Anyway, let’s get out of here first!”

Ren Amamiya grabbed Ryuuji Sakamoto and Yusuke Kitagawa and quickly exited the world.

The lonely cold wind dissipated, and the noisy streets reappeared in front of everyone. At this moment, the three of them were sweating profusely, as if they had escaped from death.

“Well, what does that woman want to do?”

Sakamoto Ryuji's face was livid, he was panting and speechless.

"Is that world... really the palace of that woman? What does she want!?"

While roaring angrily, Sakamoto Ryuuji clenched his fist and hammered hard against the wall. His move also attracted the attention of everyone around him, while Amamiya Ren shook his head and hurriedly stopped him.

“Okay, let’s change places.”

Soon, the three of them left the busy street and came to an uninhabited alley. “This is the first time I have seen such a palace.”

Kitagawa Yusuke also looked pale and his eyes were dull.

“It was pure destruction...a world in which nothing survived. I really can’t imagine why such a palace exists.”

“It’s just...an illusion.”

Sakamoto Ryuji swallowed his saliva and spoke tremblingly.

"She's just an ordinary girl. No matter how powerful she is, she can't destroy the whole world... Is that right?"

　　　…………”

Ren Amamiya did not speak, but fell into deep silence. Apart from anything else, the scene just now shocked them too much. The three of them are just ordinary high school students. Even if they happen to gain strange powers and become monster thieves, it does not mean that they can face this. This strange situation did not change his expression.

“...Do you want to continue?”

“I need to think about it.”

Facing the question from his companion, Ren Amamiya hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

The situation this time was so different from before that it gave him a bad feeling.

and………

"What's wrong?"

"nothing."

Ren Amamiya shook his head. He didn’t know why, but from just now, he seemed to have some kind of illusion. There seemed to be a strange whisper emerging in his ears...

The Phantom Thieves were temporarily disbanded, but Duanmu Ai knew nothing about it.

Because right now, she is facing her biggest headache.

That’s acting.

She really can't act at all.

Director Fangze didn't care about this. He said, "Your temperament is very consistent with the legendary angel, so when the time comes, you can perform whatever you want."

Since the other party has said so, Duanmu Ai doesn't care anymore. Anyway, he is the character who last appeared for less than ten minutes - oh, thinking about it this way, it is understandable why the actress would find trouble with Rishi and could only play the role. Ten minutes, even if it is the finale, this is just a passerby character.

It’s just a few lines.

At the moment, Duanmu Ai is just standing by, watching other people's performances - these actors seem to be quite nervous, but it's no wonder, after listening to Li Shi said that this performance will be the most famous one at the end of the month, and it will also affect other people. Regarding the future development of people, even Rishi herself worked hard to get the heroine. If the performance is not good, then those who were rejected for some reason will not let them go.

So now everyone is acting very seriously and focused.

As the heroine, Rise Kujigawa is naturally more focused.

"ah---!"

With a scream, Kujigawa Rise fell to the ground - well, this was part of the performance, not really injured.

This is the final stage of the scene. The heroine and her lover are surrounded by cybermaniacs. The lover risks his life to stop the cybermaniac and allows the heroine to escape alone. The heroine runs away crying, and finally comes to a ruins. , surrounded by monsters, and then the angel appeared and killed the nearby monsters in one move.

Well, that’s it now.

Duanmu Ai walked up and waved casually - according to the director, there would be lighting on site, so it just needed to be a show-off.

So I saw the actors who were originally surrounding the heroine, playing monsters, screaming and falling to the ground, and some people turned 360 degrees when they fell to the ground.

It's quite a show for yourself.

Then I only need to say a few words to Kujigawa Rise, and then I can leave.

So, what do you say?

Duanmu Ai thought for a while.

Forget it, just go with how you felt on the battlefield.

At this moment, Li Shi also turned her head and looked at Duanmu Ai - but the next moment, she was stunned.

Not only Rishi, but also the actors next to her, as well as the director and staff, all changed their expressions at this moment, because they could feel that the moment Duanmu Ai walked on stage, an unparalleled pressure came from her body. Emerging, it is an existence that makes people involuntarily awe - not because of appearance, but because of the instinctive understanding that the other party is a more powerful existence than oneself.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Duanmu Ai stood in front of Li Shi who fell on the ground, staring at her.

"you are still alive."

“I...I’m still alive?”

Perhaps the momentum was so terrifying that Rishi almost forgot his lines at the moment.

“Yes, you are still alive.”

Duanmu Ai looked at Li Shi calmly and said.

　　"Yes...you saved me..."

“I’m not here to save you, I’m just here to destroy these monsters.”

Duanmu Ai said and turned around.

“Make a choice, to live or not to live, it’s your own question.”

After saying this, Duanmu Ai turned around and walked off the stage.

At this moment, there was silence on the entire stage.
