The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

Hearing Tang Ze's words, the three people were also very shocked and looked at each other a few times.

"Ocean tank, that is to say, this is not actually the sea, but an extremely huge water tank?" Hoshikawa Teru repeated Karasawa's conclusion, "But, didn't Noah say that there are ocean trenches in the terrain, which are very vast..."

"Indeed. Moreover, it is a deep sea without any living things." Tang Ze wiped his face, "But it is really a huge water tank, just like the one in an aquarium."

Although the dugong arrow in his hand played a vital role in avoiding water, and he was not actually contaminated by any sea water, but after swimming in such an environment for a long time, it was difficult not to feel like he was covered in cold moisture. Karasawa Now I feel like my breath smells like fish.

"And haven't we been looking for that kind of impression space, where are the shadows of the people on the island? According to the experience of Yueying Island, this independent small impression space, the shadows of the island residents should be installed here." Tang Ze recalled the scene he had just seen and was silent for a few seconds. "I found them. They are all outside the tank. To be precise, they are all lying on the glass wall, staring motionlessly into the water tank."

"So, the impression space here..." Following Karasawa's description and imagining the scene he saw, Miyano Akemi couldn't help but shudder at her own imagination.

"The impression space here is an aquarium fish tank that looks like an ocean." Karasawa gave the final conclusion with certainty.

The sea that looks vast but is actually a cage, and the pair of eyes clinging to the glass, staring at her...

This may be the real situation faced by Shimabukuro Kimie.

The quiet suffocation, the pain of being trapped in a cage by silent gaze...

No wonder the barrier would weaken again and again if Shimabukuro Kimie's mood fluctuated even slightly. Whether it was breaking free from the cage or using floods to destroy the bystanders outside the tank, breaking this barrier would be her first priority.

"So, is your other guess confirmed?" Asai Narumi said calmly, "About the difference between her situation and mine at that time."

This problem is also one of the reasons why Karasawa chose to let Asai Narumi exchange experiences with Shimabukuro Kimie.

Contact Shimabukuro Kimie. On the one hand, they really want to give this unfortunate miko some support and help as they have in the past. On the other hand, they want Asai Narumi to evaluate Shimabukuro Kimie's condition.

The main purpose is to compare his own mental state before revenge and Shimabukuro Kimie's.

"When you see those shadows, it's basically confirmed." Tang Ze lowered his head and looked at the arrow that he had been holding in his hand.

An ordinary short arrow, perhaps considering its symbolic significance as a ritual weapon. The sharp metal arrow tip is engraved with a rolling pattern, like layers of clouds and mist, or like surging waves.

Above the arrow cluster, a long gray-white hair was thinly wound into a ring and pinned to the arrow body.

Tang Ze blinked, and the red color filled his pupils. In his field of vision, the arrow exuded a gentle circle of colored light, just like the secret treasures he had seen many times.

Looking at the direction of the halo, it is obvious that it comes from the hair wrapped around the arrow.

When holding this arrow, the vision of many worlds about to merge seemed to have lost their ability to affect him, and opening the third eye no longer produced the feeling of falling into the sea.

"Have I explained to you? About the relationship between X alloy and the secret treasure in the palace." Turning the arrow in his hand, Tang Ze said slowly, "The secret treasure in the palace is the source of the desire of the master of the palace, and the wish The core is the starting point of all persistent wills, so as long as it is taken away, it can be seen as separating the spiritual connection between the source and the person... You should all know this."

The three people nodded in unison without expressing any doubt about this statement.

It should be said that this is the basic science that they will learn from Karasawa when they become the Phantom Thief of Hearts.

Regarding the cognitive world, regarding palaces and shadows, although this concept of the supernatural side is full of agnosticism, Tang Ze will still try to explain this side of the world to them with his own understanding, so as to avoid any surprises among his teammates due to information gaps.

"Well, so, regarding the question of what X alloy is... let me state in advance that the following are all my conjectures. It is up to us to see whether they are true." In order to prevent Stitch World from playing some dirty trick on him, Tang Ze first folded Asked Bo A, "Since the impression space is actually a 'public palace' composed of human collective subconscious, do you think this palace will have its own secret treasure?"

When the three people heard this, their expressions were dull for a moment, and they looked at Tang Ze who gave them time to digest.

After a while, they understood a little bit of what Tang Ze meant. They all looked at the brooch on Tang Ze's scarf that still exuded a golden light in the night, and their pupils trembled.

"In other words, X Alloy is very likely to be...a secret treasure of mankind? That's not right, how can I say..." Xingchuan Hui, who was the most frustrated, was the first to lose control and tapped Tangze's brooch, speaking incoherently. stand up.

"Just understand what it means. After all, this is just a guess." Without getting entangled in the issue of the Holy Grail being broken, Karasawa got to the point of what he wanted to say, "I now think that there may be something intrinsic to the situation between Shimabukuro Kime and Narumi. The difference. When we arrived at Yueying Island, Chengshi was the palace master who had controlled the impression space of Yueying Island for a long time, even if he didn't know it himself."

To put it bluntly, Asai Narumi at that time was essentially a powerful palace master.

The Hall Master, neither he nor his shadow form, can emit treasure light - who do you think is Sakura Futaba? Even Sakura Futaba herself doesn’t shine!

Karasawa looked at Asai Narimi, who was wearing a haori and in Kaitou form, and raised the arrow in his hand.

"The aura of the secret treasure on Shimabukuro Kimie's body is so strong that it shines like X-alloy." Karasawa intuitively described the scene he saw, "And she doesn't have a palace. This is the most important thing. Question. We can’t assume that because of Chengshi’s case, she also has a situation where the palace and the impression space are integrated... What’s more, Chengshi only used her own palace to block the entrance to the impression space, and the real impression space was just blocked. His palace wraps it up, but the two are still two incompatible spaces."

"This is why you think giving her X alloy will not only not affect her, but may in turn cause the alloy to deteriorate?" Asai Narumi, whose eyebrows jumped as Karasawa made him one after another, said slowly. He took a breath and asked aloud, "Do you think she is actually the secret treasure of this impression space, not the palace master?"

"Yes, I think Shimabukuro Kimie actually possesses intelligence now, the secret treasure of the Impression Space itself." Quickly glancing at the blinking rag doll in his hand, Karasawa said solemnly, "No one stipulates The secret treasure must be inorganic, right?"

"But wait, it's a bit weird..." Miyano Akemi, who was said to be confused, raised a hand, "Then since she is the secret treasure of the Impression Space, why would she want to destroy this place? According to your statement, the palace was actually born in response to the secret treasure and is the source of desire, so she and this place should be more integrated, right?"

"Yes, the secret treasure that everyone is looking forward to gave birth to a heart of resistance..." Karasawa squinted his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "And now Shimabukuro Kime is using his authority to do everything. The first priority of a conscious secret treasure.

"——Integrate with the real world and gain real power."

"Hmm? Desire rebels against consciousness itself? A strange hypothesis..." When Haiyuan Ai picked up the coffee and brought it to his mouth, he suddenly reacted, "By the way, don't you sleep when traveling? It's already 2 o'clock ”

"I can't help it. I just finished my work. Aren't you asleep too?" Glancing at Hattori Heiji behind him and sprawled in the room, Karasawa shook his head and continued on the phone in a soft voice, "Theoretically, what do you think? Is this guess valid?"

"Well..." Understanding that Karasawa's question is likely to be related to the actions of the Phantom Thieves, Haibara Ai let out a breath, put down the coffee cup, stepped on soft slippers, and walked to the computer, "I may need to check some Only with the information can I give you a definite answer, but from my personal understanding, it is indeed possible.”

"Even if this kind of resistance may bring destruction?" The Phantom Thief said worriedly because he was worried that if he was not careful, Shimabukuro Kimie had a nightmare and was directly washed away by the sea water, so he simply stayed up late taking SP pills.

I have to say that it’s no big deal that a good island is about to be washed away alive because of the collision of human beings’ complex humanity. Human beings really add crazy chaos to this world.

In short, if it is not necessary in the future, it is better not to run to the island casually.

The closed environment based on the concept of cognitive world, combined with Ke Xue's interpersonal relationships, is really good at raising Gu, and all of them are genuine Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks!

"Well, after all, the desire for destruction is also one of the desires hidden deep in the human heart, even as important as the desire for survival." After clicking on the folder, Haihara Ai skillfully flipped through the contents of the files inside and answered seriously, " The longing for survival and the longing for death are always pulled in thinking. This is complex human nature. The conflict between desire and consciousness can also be considered a normal state."

People who want to save themselves will also try to give up on themselves at some point, and people who want to commit suicide will also try to send out a signal for help when they are on the verge of death.

Human beings undoubtedly long for survival in their essence, but they also long for death from their roots.

Perhaps it is consciousness that evolved in response to biology, or perhaps it is some kind of valve used for regulation. This is human consciousness itself, contradictory and self-consistent, complex and full of dangers.

"So, cognitive learning is something that is full of unknowns and dangers." Amid the crisp clicks of the mouse, Haiyuan Ai said with emotion, "Converting people's cognition into reality will ultimately bring about good things. Whether it is a bad thing or not, it is entirely in the hands of the master. The more in-depth research and contact you have, the more you will find this."

"Why, when you find out how much power you have, will you feel fear because of your research?" Hearing the confusion in her voice, Tang Ze asked back.

"When you discover that when you press something you have made, it is the button that will destroy the world. Anyone can do that, right?" After sighing, Haiyuan Ai said in a mature tone that was completely opposite to his childish voice, "I often thought in the past that if all crazy researchers like us were really dead, it might actually be a good thing for the world."

"Don't be so pessimistic, Shiho. As you said, people desire both survival and death. It's human nature to think of such things, isn't it?" Feeling a hint of the resurgence of the gray version of Haibara Ai, Tang Ze Quickly say, "So you should usually go to bed early. When you stay up late, it's easy to think too much."

Unlike her who was originally supposed to be on the path of self-destruction and low desire to survive, now Haibara Ai, with Akemi, other family members, and new friends, her desire for self-destruction should have been reduced a lot.

Perhaps this kind of philosopher-like speculation is inherent in her character. It is inevitable that she will fall into emptiness or self-denial because of some grand issues.

However, Tang Ze said that with her schedule, it is not surprising that she would be depressed from time to time.

It’s really easy to be emoticon when working late at night.

"The only one who doesn't want you to say that is the guy who was still busy here at 2 o'clock." Huihara Ai snorted and chuckled, "Okay, I've sent the information to your email. No matter what you are doing... …be safe."

"Don't worry, my sister and I are both fine."

"Go to bed early. Things that can't be solved during the day can't be solved by staying up late."

"the same as you."

Looking at the email message that popped up on the screen in front of him, Tang Ze shook his head.

"It's impossible to sleep, that's how the King Juan family is." After muttering, Tang Ze closed the crack in the door behind him tightly, opened the paper sent by Haihara Ai, and took out a new cup of coffee, " By the way, why am I not surprised that the coffee made by Toru Amuro can increase SP... Let’s not talk about it anymore, let’s open the book!”

————

"Is it okay to go directly to the roster and modify it?" Yuan Shan and Ye's eyes widened in surprise, "Would it be too much trouble for you..."

"No, it's me who is troubling you." Shimabukuro Kime put down the ribbon in his hand and wiped his sweat, "The festival is about to start. I'm really busy right now. I'm really sorry."

"Ah, yes..." He looked at the small parcels tied up one by one with silk and satin behind Shimabukuro Kimie, and then looked at the newly born red sun, Toyama Kazuha and Mouri standing in the cool morning breeze. Lan exchanged a look.

At this point, I have been busy for so long, it is really hard.

"Just give us the list of customers to look at, is that okay?" Hattori Heiji couldn't help but say "Eh" when he got the unexpected answer.

"It's just some rosters, without any real information about the guests... Even if they don't want to leave their real names, it's impossible for me to check their IDs?" After joking, Shimabukuro Kimie picked up another amulet and other items. Supplies, he neatly packed a new package, "I believe you won't touch it casually. After changing it, just put the roster back."

Although I don’t know why those Phantom Thieves gave such an extra instruction...

But even if it's just a reward for having a drink with her, it's a simple matter.

Shimabukuro Kimie looked at the five children standing in front of the shrine one by one, smiled and showed them the way, and then lowered his head to prepare new materials.

Although she has no intention of continuing her work as a miko, her thoughts about this island have gradually shifted from attachment and nostalgia to rejection and fear.

However, she had promised her mother, and she had resisted such a responsibility. So as long as she was still a miko and presided over the festival, she had to do what she had to do.

The Dugong Festival is the shrine's largest source of income. Since the arrival of tourists, the supply of amulets and other items produced by the shrine has exceeded demand.

Their small shrine, which is not very prosperous, relies on these meager incomes to survive, and there is no room for neglect.

Moreover, this year might be the last dugong festival on the island.

Just think of it as leaving a good memory.

The busy miko continued her daily work, and the flattered high school students slowly walked into the shrine's warehouse.

"It's surprisingly big. The warehouse here..."

Yuan Shan and Ye opened the door, tentatively walked in, and soon saw the neat books on the cabinet in front of them.

"Wow, what a meticulous record." He leaned closer and looked at the record year written on the spine of the book. Hattori Heiji touched his chin, "There are all the records from so long ago."

"Maybe it's the tradition of the island." Mao Lilan also sighed, and quickly found the latest roster, and together with Yuan Shan and Ye, flipped to the latest pages.

"Well, there are indeed records. These two names are probably the couple who canceled the plan."

"Just erase it directly?"

"Let me look at the previous records... Oh, just use this patch."

"Uh-huh……"
