Ye Falcon had to admit that this newborn group of strange thieves was indeed infinitely energetic.

After awakening the personality mask, they actually skipped class directly and began to attack the campus slaughterhouse hall of Junji Kaneike.

Ye Falcon also took this opportunity to observe the combat power of these three members of the Monster Thief Group.

Among them, the strongest strength can also be said to be the most violent.,Probably Kusaku Sogo... In the battle against the shadows of the temple, he showed the courage of a real man.

After Kusaku Cangwu awakened the clothes of the monster thief, the weapon he used was a weapon called the Explosive Fist, and then Ye Falcon witnessed him perform the feat of tearing the monster countless times.

And then there's Hyakki-in Chiyo... The spells she uses contain a variety of special effects, such as the most common fire and water charms, as well as the higher-level energy charms and sluggishness charms.

This way of fighting made Ye Falcon very suspicious, the source of Chiyo's power in Hyakkiin should be more than simply the power of 'monster thieves' and 'personality masks'.

As for Rin Amamiya, the combat power she showed was far beyond that of ordinary female high school students, making Ye Hayabusa suspect that this girl should have practiced gymnastics or streamers before.

The weapon used by Rin Amamiya... That is, the cane can be switched into a chain sword at any time, and while whipping enemies with the whip attack, the sharp chain carried on the long whip can also instantly cut countless wounds on the enemy's body.

This weapon looks quite familiar, almost like the threaded cane in "Bloodborne".

As a result, under the aggression of these three monster thieves whose combat power far exceeded that of normal high school students, the slaughterhouse, which originally looked extremely eerie, became almost no different from an amusement park.

This newborn group of monster thieves, the Falcons, can only be described in one word... The progress of their raiding on this temple is to travel.

It may also be that the strength of the monsters inhabiting this hall is too weak, and in the end, the three of them killed all the way to the deepest part of this slaughterhouse hall after being absent from school for half a day.

That is where the secret treasure of Jin Chi Jun is located, and in the deepest part, there is also a shadow guarding here, and this shadow is the strongest individual who inhabits here except for the hall master.

It's a pity that this strongest individual has caused some trouble for the trio.

But I was still subdued by the heavy blow of the whale-killing punch of Sogo Kusaku, which was wrapped in the blasting power of 'Personality Mask Guy Fawkes'!

This mini-boss shadow guarding the bottom of the level, unlike other butcher shadows, seems to have its own consciousness... After being punched, he even wanted to take the opportunity to run away.

It's a pity that it didn't take a step to run out, and it was restrained by the chain sword thrown out of the threaded cane in Amamiya Rin's hand, and it was directly ripped to the ground.

"Guy!" Kusaku Sogo was about to give it a fatal blow when he was stopped by Hyakkiin Chiyo.

"Kusaku-san, wait a minute... It seems to be acceptable. ”

Hyakkiin Chiyo also cast a sluggishness charm on the shadow butcher, completely restricting its movement before slowly approaching the shadow.

Acceptance? When Ye Falcon heard this word, he instantly became interested.

In the original worldview of "Persona", the protagonist can subdue these shadows or the middle demon is the most basic setting.

But the problem is that Ye Falcon didn't write down the setting of acceptance on the forum and tell anyone.

But Hyakkiin Chiyo knows that not only does she know that she is also very sure that this only the shadow of self-consciousness can be subdued for her own use.

"Huh? Can these mobs be caught? Rin Amamiya also knew about this setting for the first time.

"Amamiya-san, in the ancient books related to the 'spiritual disaster' handed down by your ancestors, isn't there a record of the method of subduing the 'spirit'? It doesn't matter if it's a heroic spirit or an evil spirit..."

Hyakkiin Chiyo is like an honor student, and he sighs softly in the face of a bad student.

"That's all the bedtime stories my grandmother told me, and our family is also the main family of the Amamiya family, and I haven't been in touch for a long time, and my father is also an ordinary office worker, so..."

Rin Amamiya scratched her cheek and whispered.

This made Hyakkiin Chiyo sigh again, but as the student council president, she was also very patient in the face of such a bad student.

"Amamiya-san, listen up, although I don't know what this 'inner world' has to do with the 'spiritual disaster' prophesied in our family's ancient books, but these shadows... They are clearly 'spirits'. ”

Speaking of this, Chiyo Hyakkiin took out a charm and handed it to Rin Amamiya.

"And the method of subduing the 'spirit' should be your favorite method of Amamiya-san, and that is 'reasoning'."

"Reasoning?"

Rin Amamiya couldn't figure out for a moment how things like yin-yang techniques were connected to reasoning.

"Spirits themselves do not have physical bodies like us, so their existence is basically composed of 'names', 'legends about them', and if they are heroic spirits, they can also be composed of 'deeds that were praised by future generations of heroic souls in ancient times'."

Hyakkiin Chiyo patiently popularized science to Rin Amamiya... The content recorded in the ancient books of their Hundred Ghost Courtyard says.

"In short, 'names' are the origin of spirits, and their power comes from the legends or deeds that shaped them."

Hyakkiin Chiyo pointed his finger when he said this... Said the spirit that had been pressed to the ground by her charm.

"Now, Amamiya-san, you can use your reasoning ability to deduce the origin of this spirit, its real name, and its life experience to make it manifest."

"Origin and real name... Think about it..."

Rin Amamiya looked at the shadow lying on the ground, and the shadows in the Golden Pond Hall were actually all dressed as butchers wearing burlap bags.

In the process of attacking the palace, Rin Amamiya also tried to remove the hood of these shadows out of curiosity, and it turned out that the shadow underneath was really like their name shadow, a face made of shadows that could not see anything.

Now there is a way to manifest them, Rin Amamiya said after pondering for a while.

"The power that Chiyo-sei's shadow used just now is low temperature and frost, is it possible that the snow boy..."

As soon as Rin Amamiya said this, the shadow that was held down by Chiyo's spell suddenly became agitated, and directly broke through the shackles of the charm, or Kusaku Canggo's eyes were quick to appear and subdue this shadow directly with his own personality mask.

"If you are not sure, don't reason indiscriminately, I remember that it is recorded in ancient books that if you make too many mistakes in reasoning, they will go berserk, and after they go berserk, they will become more tricky."

Hyakkiin Chiyo lowered her voice, reminding Rin Amamiya to take this matter seriously.

"That's... Snow Girl? Rin Amamiya said again the name of a monster that everyone knows.

Sure enough, the shadow suddenly became docile, and ice crystals began to appear on the surface of the butcher's outfits around her, faintly showing signs of freezing and shattering.

"Very well, you got her origin right, and the next step is to deduce the real name of this spirit, which is the real difficulty."

Hyakkiin Chiyo can also deduce that this spirit is a youkai like the Snow Maiden, after all, there are only those well-known youkai who use ice and snow as an attack method.

"Real name... How do you reason about this? ”

Rin Amamiya tapped his chin with his index finger and let out a distressed sound like 'Mmmm'.

"There are several opportunities for trial and error in the reasoning of real names, Amamiya-san, you can combine the ancient legends related to the Snow Maiden, or those women who died in the snow disaster or froze to death in the modern news."

"That's too much."

Rin Amamiya: At first, she was thinking about the legend of the ancient Snow Maiden, but suddenly she remembered that since this was Shoujo High School.

She really remembered the legend of a female student who was frozen to death at Shoucheng High School.

"President Chiyo, did you know that the history of our school dates back to the Taisho period?" Rin Amamiya asked suddenly.

"Of course I do."

As the student president, Chiyo Hyakkiin also has an understanding of the history of his school.

"It is said that in the last years of Taisho, the student movement in the Tokyo area was in full swing at that time, and at that time, the anti-imperialist movement in Japan was on the rise, and a group of students from Shoujo High School participated in it during that period."

As Rin Amamiya recounted what had happened during that period, the form of the Snow Maiden's spirit became more and more detailed.

"Among them was a schoolgirl named Rina Uesugi who was caught by the secret police at the time during the student march, and after being accused of a bunch of false charges, she was thrown into an ice cellar and froze to death."

By the time Rin Amamiya finished her somewhat short but extremely sad story, the true image of the Snow Maiden spirit beside her had been fully revealed.

She took off her butcher's outfit and changed into a Taisho school uniform...

"Actually... It really showed up! The way it was. ”

Rin Amamiya was suddenly shocked in place, and Chiyo Hyakkiin was also a little surprised, but she still continued to guide Rin Amamiya and said.

"You've deduced the true nature of this being, and now you swear to her... You should be able to subdue her. Hyakkiin Chiyo said.

"Swear?"

"It's about helping this spirit fulfill some wishes, if it's a ghost... Most likely, it was her long-cherished wish before her death... Amamiya-san, what promise do you want to make to this Miss Rina Uesugi that she will be willing to lend you her power? Hyakkiin Chiyo said.

This made Rin Amamiya ponder for a while, as if he was thinking of something, and immediately said with a serious expression as if he was going to meet his parents.

"I promise you that as long as I am still studying in this school, I will definitely protect the students of our school from being persecuted by those bad adults!"

As soon as Rin Amamiya said this, an extremely slight smile seemed to appear on the face of the Snow Maiden spirit, and then the spirit body turned into a little starlight and rushed towards Rin Amamiya in an instant!

All this bit of starlight was poured into the spell in Amamiya Rin's hand, and the words 'Snow Maiden Rina Uesugi' were written on it, and then the charm was transformed into a personality mask.

"It's... Is this a successful acceptance? Will I be able to use the power of this Snow Maiden senior? ”

Rin Amamiya found that she could summon this Snow Maiden senior if she wanted to.

"Yes, although the steps are all based on the ancient books of the Hundred Ghost Academy, it seems that the process of subduing the spirit recorded in the ancient books is indeed correct."

Hyakkiin Chiyo said after summarizing the technical points of subduing the spirit body again.

"First of all, we must reduce the combat power of the spirit body to a certain level, the lower the better."

"Then deduce the origin, real name, and past encounters of the spirit, and then make a vow to the spirit based on what happened in the past, and if the spirit is willing to accept this vow, it will lend you power."

"When I was reading these ancient books, I thought they were stories made up by the ancients, but the steps are too detailed when I make up the stories."

"Anyway, we've got a new companion to our bandits!" Rin Amamiya is now so scrappy that she's about to burst into starry eyes.

And Ye Falcon watched Rin Amamiya and the process of subduing the shadows by Chiyo of Hyakkiin on the sidelines, which was really amazing.

What this Chiyo president said about spirits, spiritual disasters and the like were not brought about by Hayabusa's fictitious reasoning, but extraordinary powers that seemed to have existed in this world since many years ago.

Judging from Chiyo's own unsure attitude towards the submission of spirits, the spirit plague must have been a long, long time, at least not in this world in modern times.

Therefore, these ancient families led by the Hundred Ghost Temple, although they could not rely on the subjugation of spirits to master the extraordinary power, the entire family was still preparing.

It's like training your own children... For example, learn the techniques related to the surrender of the Charm Spirit.

Just wait for a new round of spiritual calamity to come, so as to achieve the ambition of not only social status and power, but also the power of control, far above the ordinary people.

However, in the process of subduing the spirits, Ye Falcon found that there were many places where he could cheat with his own fictional reasoning...

It's like using fictional reasoning to fabricate the real name of the spirit and its past experiences, and so on, and he made up a heroic spirit that has been famous for the ages.

But the devil knows if the spiritual disaster will come to Tokyo in the future, and Hayashi is still focused on helping these young monster thieves to ensure that they can successfully steal the twisted desires of the big people in Tokyo.
