"Huh? Why is it there. Although he was asking, Hoshikawa Hui had already begun to step in the direction pointed by Tang Ze.

Regardless of why, just do it.

Seeing that the two of them didn't think about it before asking questions, Tang Ze smiled, and his steps became a little brisker.

"Because doesn't Kenzo Kashiyama like to compare himself to Caesar? The English July of July comes from Julius in Caesar's name, as long as the current owner of the temple is really the image of Caesar, then there is a high probability that the location of the organ or passage is near July. ”

Akemi Miyano nodded again and again, looking at Tang Ze looking for something, looking very interested, and said teasingly: "It sounds very reasonable." I said, if you give yourself the identity of a high school detective, you must be very interested in reasoning, right? It's a lot of fun to solve the puzzle. ”

"I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense." Tang Ze started by negating the triple, "I'm here, well, it's like playing a game, because a puzzle is stuck in the progress, I will be very motivated to solve the problem." As for those bells and whistles, spare me. ”

Teru Hoshikawa and Akemi Miyano exchanged a look, then nodded wildly, neither refuting him.

Just when he was a detective, his eyes lit up when he was having fun......

"This is it...... Well? ”

With the visual aid of the "third eye", Tang Ze easily identified the location of the mechanism from the low wall of bushes, reached out and grabbed the ring on the ground, and prepared to pull the trapdoor on the ground upwards according to his instincts.

Then, to his astonishment, the door seemed to be activated, and a few bright red thorn lines suddenly appeared, and the sting of his fingertips like electricity made him instinctively loosen the knocker.

"Hiss......" shook his hand twice, Tang Ze frowned, "What is this?" ”

"Huh?" Hoshikawa Hui also squatted down, reached out and touched the door panel, which was also bounced open by the lines on his head, "Do you mean that you can't open it?" It feels like it's electrified. ”

"Although it is true that there are many areas in the hall that look weird and strange because of distortion, this one seems to be more than just distorted." Tang Ze tentatively pulled down the door again, and opened his hand again as if he were warned.

…… Hey, he doesn't believe in him yet.

I've been watching out for so long, when have I ever eaten deflated?

Tang Ze rolled down his cuffs, grabbed the copper ring on the door, ignored the pain like a pinprick in his palm, and lifted it up hard.

There was a creak from the door, and a crack opened slightly, and then the red thorns on the door surged like a flow, and pulled back the door that had broken open slightly, and dragged Tang Ze, who was fighting with the door knocker, almost fell down.

"What the hell is this, gurgling." Reaching out and touching it again, Tang Ze searched for all the things in his mind that were similar to those in his mind.

Rather than the door itself not being able to open, it looked more like something had put a seal on the door.

Is it the mechanic of this temple? Shouldn't I look around for any monsters to be slaughtered? Gem crystallizer or something?

"Joker, from my point of view." Akemi Miyano, who was standing one step behind them, said aloud, "These lines are a bit like a flower body, 'K'." ”

Compared with Karasawa, who is stuck in game strategy thinking, Akemi Miyano observes more of the phenomenon itself.

She has been slightly exposed to cognitive science and a little bit of contact with another world, and she is more nervous than Tang Ze, who has a relaxed mentality.

As soon as she saw these strange things, her associations came to her almost instinctively.

“‘K’？” Tang Ze, who rolled up his sleeves and was about to give himself some attack to try again, heard this, so he kept a squatting posture and turned an angle.

Before he could get a good look, his long scarf flicked as he moved, just in time to touch the blood-red thorn streaks on the door.

There was a crisp sound of glass cracking, and the scarf around Tang Ze's neck also shone brightly.

The curving thorn streaks on the ground fell apart with this cracking sound, forming a keyhole-like shape. The scarf tightened and slammed into the keyhole in the floor, a grinding sound like a gear turning and snapping came from the depths of the door.

The gaudy thorn lines seemed to be swallowed up by the light emitted by the scarf, cracked, closed, and finally disappeared into the shadow of the scarf.

And suddenly, Tang Ze was torn to the ground by the scarf that moved without authorization, and dragged a section towards the center of the door panel.

The tightened fabric made him reach out and grab the scarf, loosening enough space to breathe, lest he become the first person ever to be strangled by his own props.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Touching his throat, Tang Ze stood up again and pulled up his scarf in disbelief.

The scarf that had been turned back into soft fabric rolled up in his hand obediently, and there was no sign that he had been preparing to kill the lord a moment ago.

"Are you alright?" Hoshikawa Hui grabbed Karasawa's arm, made sure he was fine, and began to look at the scarf around his neck with worry.

“…… Is this scarf left to you by your uncle? Looking at this series of changes, Akemi Miyano was shocked.

"I didn't know that from the moment my ability awakened, it automatically appeared in me...... I started out as part of my special abilities. Tang Ze told the truth.

He tried to pull the fabric of the scarf twice, and the bright red scarf was stretched and crumpled by him without any temper, showing no further signs of abnormality.

The last time I was in the impression space, it was somehow long, and it was also when I encountered the "K" mark.

Tang Ze and his wife, do they really have such magical powers?

After studying it with a strange expression for a while, he could only put down his bone-bearing scarf for the time being and look at the trapdoor on the ground.

Holding the knocker again, this time the door was pulled open with one hand without hindrance.

"Anyway, the door is open." Looking at the entrance of the black hole below, Tang Ze laughed self-deprecatingly, "Let's go down first, leave this alone." ”

What should I do, this is the initial number with its own equipment, and he doesn't have to choose.

The props of Erwuzai are also Erwuzai, and it is very reasonable to think about it.

Compared with Tang Ze, who is good at self-resolution, his two teammates are a little more worried, especially Akemi Miyano, who deeply understands the meaning of the mark.

"Is this going to have anything to do with the organization, Joker?" She clutched the gun in her hand and looked at the dark hole below, "This is a palace for members of the Order, and there is such a mark where you can pass. It's hard to imagine that this has nothing to do with the organization at all. ”

"It must have something to do with them." Tang Ze's answer didn't even have a question, "It's hard for me to explain why, but in short, I know that people who have a certain concept of the cognitive world, if they have strong willpower, maybe they can control their own hall to some extent." ”

Here, Tang Ze refers to the interests related to the lion boy justice in the original Persona 5 work.

In the game, except for the two characters in their interest group, Lion Boy and Okumura, the cognitive existence in other people's palaces is like the cognitive Tang Ze in the Zero Hall of Descending Valley, which was beaten into black mud by Tang Ze, which is a pure empty shell.

In other words, they are just an extension of the memory and imagination of the owner of the temple, so they are called cognitive dolls.

But in the halls of these two, there are cases where the cognitive presence shatters the powerful shadows that are stuffed inside.

Although it is not explained in the game, when it comes to the relevant settings, most people tend to believe that it is because of their mastery of cognitive science, which allows them to invisibly enhance the defense ability of their temple, which is a means they use to protect their temple.

"Kenzo Kayama, who also knows about cognitive studies, will he even guard against the characters who 'change their minds'?" Akemi Miyano instinctively frowned and denied, "It's hard to imagine. ”

"More or less, he should know something, he is the patriarch of the organization after all. But when it comes to precautions, it's not necessarily about him. Suppressing the divergent thoughts, Tang Ze first looked at the passage below, "Don't guess here, the real answer will be known when you enter the hall." Let's go. ”
