While the effect of the chaos spell was not over, Lai Qixiao continued to extract more information from Calvados. But this usually taciturn sniper has never cared about the mission, and the major secrets of the organization have been hidden by him, and Lai Qixiao has not obtained more valuable information in the end.

The only thing worth saying is that this time he was partnered with the Witch Belmode, the Witch with a Thousand Faces.

"You mean, Belmode has been lurking here for a long time?" Lai Qixiao asked, "Does the organization attach so much importance to this small island?" ”

"The organization attaches great importance to the 'curse of Keiji Aso', so it deliberately let Belmode lurk here to investigate." Calvados replied in a daze, "She came up with the plan to forge the notice letter and kidnap Asei. ”

"She does seem to be quite interested in me." Laiqixiao looked at the orange sea at sunset, and Belmode at this time drifted on this sea by boat, and retreated with Keiji Aso's piano.

At this point, the spell of chaos was over, and Calvados's confused cognition was finally slowly recovering and breaking free from the confusion.

But Laiqixiao will not let Calvados go like this, nor is he going to hand him over to the police - this silent sniper has too much contact with him, and Laiqixiao can't leave such a flaw.

"Looks like there's no more information to be unearthed from you." Laiqi Xiao grabbed Calvados by the collar and dragged him into the bushes behind him.

"I've always wanted to try something, and you're the right experiment."

With that, Lai Qixiao threw Calvados into the rift in front of him, but the sniper finally fell into the bushes and did not enter the rift.

After the first attempt, Lai Qixiao changed his way and dragged Calvados towards the rift. This time, Calvados successfully passed through the rift and followed him into the cognitive world.

But in the next second, Calvados, who had just been broken and had never screamed pain, suddenly let out a terrifying scream, and the crimson light tore through his skin and crushed the bones of his body. There was also a strange sound of metal rubbing in all directions, and when Lai Qixiao took a closer look, he realized that the chains came from nowhere and wrapped around Calvados's limbs. The dark shadows also gradually took over Calvados's body, trying to assimilate him with himself.

"It's a tragic scene." Lai Qixiao shook his head and shot Calvados in the head, ending his life. The visions that had just happened immediately dissipated, and Calvados' body was reduced to ashes.

"The results of the experiment are in. Living people cannot actively enter the cognitive world, but they can be brought into it by me. ”

"But when a living person other than me enters the cognitive world, he will immediately be swallowed up by his own shadow...... Looking at the way I just looked, if I didn't shoot, I would have to fight the shadow Calvados, and I might not be able to win. ”

After dealing with Calvados, Lai Qixiao returned to the real world, sorted out his captured firearms and brought them into the rift. He tried the real guns a little, and sure enough, they were much stronger than the toy guns he was using now. Even the power of Yasen's gunfire has increased a lot because of this.

"It's a windfall." Come to Qixiao to play with the pistol. He intends to store these real guns in the cognitive world, and only use them in the cognitive world.

After disposing of all the other relics of Calvados, Lai Qixiao did not linger any longer and decided to leave Moon Shadow Island. Now there is only one unsolved mystery left on Moonshadow Island, and that is the "curse of Keiji Aso", which is so valued by the distillery.

In this regard, Lai Qixiao also has a rough idea in his heart, but according to his speculation, if he wants to solve this mystery, he can only solve this mystery on the night of the full moon two weeks later, not today.

He returned to the beach with a bag of firearms, took a taxi, and returned to Rice Flower Town.

At this time, Moon Shadow Island was still in chaos. The police officers have learned of the existence of the sniper and the Phantom of the Thief from the awakened Asumi Minoru, and are searching the Moon Shadow Island as instructed, and it may take some time to make the island quiet again.

Koizumi Hongzi was also overwhelmed by the chaos. She had planned to leave Moonshadow Island today, but canceled her trip due to various disturbances.

"Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to meet the trickster. But...... This time it wasn't all for nothing. Koizumi stroked the red card in her hand, feeling the wonderful aura attached to it. This is the teaser letter she got from the Phantom of the Thief before the police recovered it.

With this teaser letter, which had been touched by the Phantom of the Monster Thief, Koizumi was able to use magic to track down his clues.

It's one step closer to finding the trickster, but Koizumi doesn't feel excited. After seeing today's riots, she didn't know for a moment whether she should continue to follow them. While maintaining her curiosity, Koizumi is still afraid of the legend of the trickster.

"Should I continue or not...... But the island is really quirky and gives it a creepy feeling. Although the scenery is not bad, I still don't want to come here in the future! ”

…………

Two weeks later, Lunaris Island finally regained its calm. The police officers who failed to investigate had to leave in disgrace, taking the three surviving drug dealers with them. The truth of the case from twelve years ago is finally revealed, and Aso is able to use his true gender to face the residents of Moonshadow Island, and he no longer has to hide it.

In the evening, Dr. Sung Si closed the door of the clinic and planned to go back to his room to pack his luggage. Tomorrow he will leave Lunaris Island and go to Tokyo to cooperate with the investigation of the case. The police did not catch the sniper that day, so they were extremely concerned about the safety of Aso and strongly urged him to move to Tokyo to be protected by the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Will I ever come back here in the future?" Dr. Sung Si leaned against the window and looked at the bright full moon in the night sky. He has lived on this island for two years and already has feelings for it, but at the same time, this quiet island also carries his painful memories.

Just like now, when he sees the full moon in the night sky, Asumi inevitably thinks of his father, even if his father's appearance has long been blurred in his memory.

Just as he was about to close the window and continue to pack his luggage, a red card that was placed by the window at some unknown time attracted the attention of Asa Sheng.

"It's ...... Mr. Strange Thief's card? ”

Asso picked up the card in confusion and read the text on it: Now go to the piano room of the community center.

If he could, Aso didn't want to go to that sad place, but this time it was an invitation from the Phantom of the Monster Thief. He eventually put on his coat and left the clinic in a hurry.

When he came to the vicinity of the community center, Aso faintly heard the sound of a piano. He was a little puzzled that since the original piano was burned down, no new piano had been added to the piano room. Where does this sound come from?

Under the clear light of the full moon, Aso entered the activity center and walked down the corridor to the piano room. The original fluttering sound of the piano is getting closer and closer, and this piece is still the song "Moonlight".

Aso didn't really want to move forward, and the memories of the past came back to him, making him want to run away. But thinking that the Phantom of the Strange Thieves was waiting for him in the piano room, he finally took heavy steps and pushed open the door of the piano room.

When the door opened, what greeted Asso was not the phantom of a strange thief, but a tall figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar. The man in the black dress sat in front of the piano and played "Moonlight" in silence.

The music melts with the moonlight, flowing quietly between father and son. Asa was stunned in place, wondering if he was in a dream, or if he was dazzled.

But no matter how you look at it, the man in front of the piano is clearly his father, who died twelve years ago.

"Father......" Ashi muttered. And Keiji Aso's piano sound also became different at this moment, and he couldn't speak, and he used music to pour out his heart to Aso.

The father and son looked at each other without a word, still in the wind blowing from the window, and spent this strange time together.

And in the tree outside the window, Lai Qixiao watched the meeting between father and son through the open window. Underneath him, Murasawa also leaned on the trunk of the tree on Monday, quietly witnessing this miraculous reunion, not daring to come forward to disturb.

"That's why you run to the piano room every full moon?" Lai Qixiao asked while lying on the tree.

"yes." Murasawa replied on Monday. He didn't know who he was talking to right now, and he didn't care anyway. Now he just wants to sway gently along with the music, "I came to this island because I admired Keiji Aso." ”

"About a year ago, I stumbled upon this mysterious phenomenon: on the night of the full moon, the ghost of Keiji Aso would appear in this piano room, playing the moonlight quietly."

"I was scared at first, but then I got hooked on the performance. In order to listen to his performance, I would sneak here every time the moon was full. However, he doesn't appear every full moon night, so he'll have to try his luck. ”

"I'm lucky tonight, not only to enjoy the music, but also to see such a reunion."

"Unfortunately, this is the last time." Lai Qixiao suddenly spoke, "From now on, Keiji Aso will never appear again." ”

“…… That's a shame. Looks like it's time for me to get out of here, and my engagement is ruined anyway. ”

The so-called shadow of Aso is not from the cognition of a few drug dealers, but from the perception of all the residents of Moonshadow Island about the "curse of Keiji Aso".

Fueled by a gang of drug dealers, the mysterious death of Keiji Aso twelve years ago gradually evolved into a terrifying legend that spread around the island. And the death of Isamu Kameyama only exacerbated the fear of the curse among the residents. Over the years, the inhabitants' perception of the curse has become deeply ingrained, and a powerful shadow called Keiji Aso has formed in the cognitive world.

After the world is distorted, the influence of the cognitive world on the real world intensifies. In this way, Keiji Aso's curse really became a reality, which is now the ghost of this silent play.

What is now in front of Lai Qixiao is an example of how the cognitive world in turn affects reality. However, because of the exposure of the drug dealers' crimes, "Keiji Aso's curse" will also be dispelled as a rumor, and this time it is probably the last time Keiji Aso will perform on stage in the real world.

Lai Qixiao silently looked up at the full moon hanging high in the sky, listened to the music like flowing water, and felt that the scattered stars in the sky had turned into musical notes, jumping in the night wind.
