Chapter Twenty-Four: Stealing Hearts Begins

After entering the cognitive world, Lai Qixiao turned up the horsepower of the skateboard by one gear, turned around and drove at full speed in the direction of the Rice Flower Library.

Looking at it from afar, he could see that the location of the Rice Flower Library was red to the sky, and the dangerous aura was blowing along the wind, but it did not make him feel the slightest fear, but aroused his courage even more.

The Phantom of the Thief made its way past the silent crowd and finally stopped in front of the library. The library that appeared in front of Akira at this time had become unrecognizable due to the impact of Hideji Tsugawa's desire outburst.

Rather, this building can no longer be called a library, this is clearly a gloomy farm.

It's just that the captivity in the open-air farm is not poultry and livestock, but shadows with masks. They were thin, with no human skin, lying on the ground without dignity, gnawing on the blooming poppies like pigs, satisfying their primitive and ugly desires.

Lai Qixiao frowned, put aside the group of addicts in captivity, and walked towards the building behind the ranch.

Walking into this spacious building, the first thing that catches Qixiao's eye is a highly efficient automated assembly line, and the "goods" processed by this assembly line are naturally the group of addicts who are in captivity outside.

I saw the emaciated addicts spontaneously line up and walk up the conveyor belt through the small door outside. They were transported by a conveyor belt to a secret small room at the end, where they were transported out by another conveyor belt after a few seconds. After this back and forth, the addict who was already about to lose weight into a bamboo pole lost a few points. Lai Qixiao even found that a few addicts never came out after entering the small room.

Lai Qixiao opened his third eye and passed through the iron wall to take in the scene in the secret room. In the middle of the room was a mountain of banknotes, covered with blood and sludge, and through the walls, Lai Qixiao could feel a foul smell.

"It seems that this is not only a breeding farm, but also a slaughterhouse." Lai Qixiao continued to walk forward, he did not sympathize with these addicts, most of them were just to blame, and they couldn't blame others.

Walking through the automated slaughterhouse, Lai Qixiao entered a large room. The atmosphere here is very different from the rest of the building, and the decoration is extremely luxurious, with sumptuous carvings and sparkling gems everywhere, and the dazzling brilliance that even the sun would be ashamed of.

And the shadow Tsugawa Hideji sat in the center of the room, using all kinds of expensive luxuries to dress himself, but in the eyes of Laiqixiao, he was like a pheasant with peacocks, inserting all kinds of gorgeous feathers into his tail, but he still couldn't hide his true colors covered with mud.

"Welcome, you're the Phantom of the Thief, aren't you?" Shadow Hideji Tsugawa shook the wine glass in his hand, and his face, warmed by the banknotes, showed a red like a monkey's ass.

"So, in your eyes, the Rice Flower Library is a ranch that squeezes money out of addicts?" Laiqixiao was not in a hurry to make a move, so he chatted with Hideji Tsugawa like this, "For those customers who offer money, you treat them like domestic animals?" ”

"Their kind of thing can only be compared to livestock, how can they be called people?" Shadow Tsugawa Hideji did not hide his disgust for addicts at all, "I don't want anything but heroin, and I am so obsessed with drugs, how can I be considered alive?" ”

"Isn't there a share of the owner to make them like that?"

"To each according to his needs. I never forced them to give me money! Shadow Tsugawa Hideji raised his head arrogantly, "They want sensory stimulation, and I need a life of luxury, and everyone is willing." ”

"Animals like that don't even need to be fed, and there is no shortage of such fools in this world when they starve to death! Like me, although I have accumulated a lot of money from drugs, I have never used this thing myself. ”

"Because I am a human being, not an animal like them! Why, Mr. Strange Thief, did you come here to oppose me because you sympathize with these pig-like things? ”

"No, of course I don't sympathize with them. But again, I don't think you're human! Isn't it you a beast like you who tramples on the bottom line for money! ”

"Come here, Yasen!"

Lai Qixiao didn't say more, and decisively tore off the mask on his face and summoned Yasen, who had been on standby for a long time.

"Hmph, you call me a beast! Don't you want to get out of here alive today! Shadow Tsugawa Hideji tossed a bouquet of poppies on the table to Akira and clapped his hands.

With this clapping, there was a violent tremor outside the hall. The next moment, a tidal wave of addicts squeezed open the door and rushed over with an irrational howl.

"Look, with just a little thing like this, you can hold these stupid things in your hands! Pigs, crush the Phantom of the Thief into a pulp! ”

Facing a large number of addicts, Lai Qixiao was not panicked. He wielded the dagger in his hand and easily knocked them back, and Yasin followed his movements with a winged blade, slashing out a certain number of them.

These addicts are all products of Tsugawa Hideji's inner cognition, and they do not correspond to humans in the real world, so Lai Qixiao also let go of his hands and feet, and danced in the waves with a dagger and pistol with Yasen. For a moment, the sound of gunfire and shouts mingled with the fireworks of curses, overshadowing the magnificent splendor of the hall.

"Damn it!" Seeing that his army of addicts was swept away effortlessly by Lai Qixiao, Shadow Tsugawa Hideji was anxious and angry, "You fools, you can't be of any use at all!" Even if you hit him with these pigs, it will be more useful than you! ”

"These addicts have been squeezed by you, and there is only one human skin left, where can I get it!" Lai Qixiao laughed loudly, "And you look down on them from the bottom of your heart, and now you ask them for help, it's really funny!" ”

"Yasen!"

Yasen raised the muzzle of the gun with Laiqixiao, and the two bullets shot out at the same time, hitting the shadow Tsugawa Hideji in the chest with precision, staining his gorgeous outfit red with blood.

"Damn it! I want your life! Shadow Tsugawa, who had been shot twice, twisted his limbs frantically, and the human shell made porcelain-like cracks, which then shattered and peeled off.

In the end, he took off his human skin and revealed in front of Lai Qixiao a puddle of ugly sludge emitting foul-smelling gas. This is the true body of Shadow Tsugawa Hideji, a monster called the Ooze Monster!
