Chapter 438: Calm and Reliable Monster Thieves
"Originally, I wanted to come to see the scenery of the island, but now it's true." Looking sadly at the endless blue sea and blue sky outside the ship, Mao Lilan shook his head, "As a result, the two of us can only go back first." ”
"Yes......" yawned heavily, and Conan leaned against the edge of the railing, looking equally sad.
After a trip to Moonshadow Island, apart from solving the truth about the Aso family tragedy twelve years ago, he didn't seem to be able to effectively save anything or prevent anything from happening.
Obviously, they received a letter from Narumi Asai before everything happened, but when they landed on the island, everything was pouring down one after another like dominoes, not to mention leaving them little time to stop them, not even time to react.
Then there is the intervention and takeover of the Monster of the Heart...... Then again, how the hell did this group of people get to the island? Did you really come from Tokyo?
Judging from the number of people who turned themselves in yesterday, in just two days, at least 70 people changed their minds - this number was the same when the two of them boarded the ship and left the island, I don't know if there will be an increase in the future, it must be only a little more.
"Uncle, how long are they going to stay on the island?" Thinking of this, Conan yawned again, "Shouldn't you have to wait until all the cases are dealt with?" ”
"Probably not...... After all, they are all turning themselves in, scrambling to say their faults, well, there are no detectives and police officers or anything, right? Maolilan said in an uncertain tone.
That's true.
Recalling the grand occasion when the threshold of the office was about to be trampled on, Conan twitched the corner of his mouth, and felt an indescribable sense of speechlessness.
This group of monster thieves just changed their minds, and after the change of mind, how to deal with the aftermath and how to investigate were all left to the police to do, and there was a sense of running to a restaurant to eat, wiping their mouths and leaving after eating.
"Well, it's rare to have a holiday, and you're on the sea, so let's enjoy the scenery on the sea slowly." Mao Lilan patted his cheek and tried to cheer up, "It's a pity that I don't have a suitable fishing rod, otherwise I can try sea fishing......"
Conan exhaled without much energy.
In addition to water, this is still water, what is not beautiful......
Oh, and on the boat, the sea breeze is much stronger than on the shore, and the smell of salty sea water is the breath of the people. It's barely a feature.
Knowing this, he might as well stay on the island.
It's likely that the Mind Thieves are still busy dealing with the islanders' reformations - as he mentioned in the information he obtained from Joker, "declaring" is an essential step for them to be effective, and they must have the self-awareness to be the target.
They sent a notice letter to the whole island, presumably they would not leave without dealing with the big and small changes on the entire island.
Staying on Moonshadow Island might be able to stop the joker and them, learn about the progress, and maybe even make some new discoveries about the Monster Thief of the Heart......
For example, the part that Conan couldn't figure out, = how the hell did they get to the island, and did they really swim all the way there?

"Whew, I'm so tired." Closing the fan in her hand, Akemi Miyano straightened her waist, heard the creaking sound of her neck, and couldn't help but sigh, "How many goals have we accomplished in the past two days, I am dizzy." ”
"121 people in total." Noah's slightly electrosynthesized voice sounded, and the little robot revealed its form next to Akemi Miyano, and his voice paused, and he glanced at Asai Narumi, who was standing behind with a bow and arrow, and added, "Excluding Lunar, it's 120 people." ”
"Do you even want me to be counted?" Asai Narumi relaxed his bow's hand, and the figure holding the flute behind him dissipated with it, and the black fox face covered his face again.
"Of course. You are the biggest shadow boss on the island. Tang Ze, who had been fishing for a while, put down his mobile phone, raised his eyes and glanced at his teammates who had ended the battle, "A normal public hall is not like this......"
As he spoke, Tang Ze raised his eyelids and looked at the withered vines that had lost their nutrients as the shadows completely dissipated beneath the cracked ground.
After observing this piece of impression space debris, Tang Ze realized the inadvisability of Asai Narumi's violent slaughter method.
The special feature of this impression space is that in addition to the shallow well Narumi guarding the exit, there is also the root system of plants crawling all over the ground.
If you just kill a certain shadow, there is a high probability that it will repeat the previous cycle of the grave keeper's numbness - killing a certain shadow, the shadow falls to the ground, is absorbed by the root system and swept into the ground, and regenerates a new shadow......
To put it bluntly, this strange plant that breaks through the ground and is closely integrated with the entire land is the distortion of the collective subconscious of "The Shadow of Moonshadow Island" itself.
This land didn't become a breeding ground for no reason, and the Moon Shadow Island became what it is today, rooted in those industries and the black and gray realms that accompany it.
If they're all legal and compliant, they won't be called black or gray.
"If it's been dealt with...... Now, that's the only thing left, right? Tang Ze tapped the scabbard twice, and jumped lightly over the ravines of the ground towards the remaining giant rhizomes on the ground, "It's time for everything to see the light of day again." ”
"yes, see the light of day." Looking at the dark green trunk of the tree, which was like a tangled root, Asai Narumi took a breath and pulled out the bow and arrow in his hand vigorously, "There should be a beginning and an end to doing things...... Let me do it anyway. ”
Even if you don't know it, you've been the gravekeeper of Moon Shadow Island for so long...... He had a reason to bury it personally.
No one objected to this, they just silently watched Asai Narumi.
Holding his breath, Asai pulled the bow and arrow in his hand to the fullest state, and the mask on his face flickered, causing the demon's figure to flash behind him, and the tip of the arrow in his hand ignited a bright flame.
The pain of the Aso family, the tragedy of more families...... Let's end it here.
Closing his eyes, Asai released the taut bowstring.
"Wow-" The sound of the bowstring flicking, like a clanging string that cuts through space.
"Huh-" The sharp sound of the arrow breaking through the sky, carrying the momentum of ten thousand jun, incomparably pierced the barrier of space.
The ignited arrows turned into meteors that pierced the air, and the scorching heat of fire and the glare of light hit the roots of dead wood.
Just as a spark fell into the firewood, the blazing flames burned in an instant, spreading along the veins of the plants to the cracks of the entire island.
"Watch your step!" Tang Ze reminded him, turned on the fire as soon as possible, and cut it into Orps by the way, ready to get up in time if there were teammates who accidentally stepped on the wall of fire.
“…… As a result, the place was literally burned down. In the heat of the flames, Asai Narumi curled the corners of his mouth and hung his bow and arrow behind him.
"The code name is Lunar, but I turned out to be the type to go where I went......" Teru Hoshikawa whispered.
Hearing the whispering of his teammates, Tang Ze glanced at him from the corner of his eye.
You are a guy who is a shadow from the outside to the inside, and even the special cognitive ability is a shadow, tarot or the moon, who is more unworthy of the name?
"Wait, is this movement an earthquake?" Akemi Miyano shook back and forth, and hurriedly held on to the remaining railroad rails erected next to her to stabilize her figure.
"Lower your center of gravity a little bit and pay attention to the changes around you." Tang Ze, who also received the shock, instructed, and the crimson light in his eyes surged, and he activated the third eye with all his strength to capture the possible situation.
He didn't forget to open his system interface at the same time, zooming in on the map interface in front of him, and guarding against red dots or other map changes that might pop up at any time.
Although he is a multi-weekly player...... But this kind of local impression space is also the first time he has encountered it, and it is not surprising that there is any kind of accident.
"Huh?" The faster reaction than Tang Ze was Noah, who left his feet off the ground after the shock came and consciously floated.
The stream of green data in his eyes sped up, scouting the changes in the cognitive world around him.
"Our position is changing rapidly, guys, stay defensive." Noah's crisp voice rang in everyone's ears.
"Boom-" As the underground fire became more and more intense, a violent impact struck, Tang Ze quickly cut out the P of the object, and the hook lock in his hand shook, pulling back the Hoshikawa Hui and Miyano Akemi who were thrown out one by one.
The thick smoke and dust flooded Tang Ze's vision, and the dust and sand on his face made him can't help but close his eyes and hide.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Teru Hoshikawa and Akemi Miyano, who were in pain from the force of their waists, smashed to the ground, choking and coughing while tearing off the chains that Tang Ze wrapped around their waists.
"What kind of movement is this......" In the sandstorm-like flying sand, Hoshikawa Hui shook his head and shook off the sand on his face - the whole team counted his clothes as the whitest, and now the black and gray marks on his body are also the most obvious, "The meteorite hit the earth?" ”
"I guess we've been ripped back from the Public Temple, along with the entire fragment of Lunaris Island." Tang Ze also slapped his scarf and took the time to reply, "Isn't this just a meteorite hitting the earth, but we are meteorites...... Ark, Lunar, are you alright? ”
"No problem." Holding Asai Narumi's wide haoori in his hand, Noah, who hung the person in his hand, revealed his figure through the dust, "The leader is right. Ladies and gentlemen, we are back at the entrance of the Impression Space. ”
Looking left and right blankly for a moment, Hoshikawa Hui, who couldn't see anything clearly under the cover of yellow sand, could only take out his mobile phone and check the navigation of the other world.
"That's true." Seeing the location prompt of "Impression Space Entrance" marked on the map, Hoshikawa Teru's eyes widened, "This is convenient, we don't need to smuggle back from the cognitive world...... But what is the principle of this teleportation? ”
"How's that, cognitive learning, it's amazing, isn't it?" Karasawa crossed his waist and looked at the Shibuya Subway entrance station that was exposed in front of him after the sand gradually landed, "You think you're in Tokyo, you're in Tokyo, don't ask, asking is magic." ”
"So, after the source of the distortion is removed, this fragment is returned to the public temple?" Akemi Miyano touched her chin thoughtfully, "If you want to explain, you can explain it." Removing the common distortions and traumas of their subconscious, they will naturally return to the unified consciousness of the public. Isn't the logic quite smooth, this world, one board at a glance. ”
"Hey, you don't have to be so clear about the world." Tang Ze waved his hand and patted the ash on his body.
It's just the right thing to do, this vacation sneaked to Moon Shadow Island, he was looking for an excuse for not going back to the café for a few days because he had something to prepare.
Now, just two days later, I was teleported back, isn't this a coincidence, I can cancel the fake.
Just as he was about to change back into his daily clothes and go back to the café to sell his vacation, Noah's voice interrupted him.
"Leader, there's a change in the subway." Noah raised his head, kept looking into the air, probed down into the space of the subway, and said, "The wall that has not been opened, the space below has appeared. ”
"Do you mean the door at the bottom right now?" Tang Ze's attention instantly focused, "Let's go, go down and take a look." ”
Finally, finally, his underground sticker is finally going to open a new area, and the daylilies he was waiting for are cold!
The impression space of their Kexue world is really deep and deep, just a path of thought deprivation, he stabbed all the way down the eighteenth floor.
Really, brother, I'm about to vomit in red and black!
As long as he thought that this was still located in the first area, and theoretically the public hall should have 7 areas without the bottom layer, Tang Ze felt a desperate pain in his liver.
So on the issue of opening a new layer of the subway, he really thinks and worries.
On the one hand, Tang Ze really wanted to know what kind of precious thing the bottom of the subway in this world was, and on the other hand, if he would be able to cast a wide net for him in the future, and scatter one or two on each layer......
His story has to be changed from a tense and exciting battle set of superpower superheroes to a road movie.
"This is the eighteen-story subway, this is the eighteen-story hell." Sitting in the car, Tang Ze explained the current situation to his teammates, "Although we can use the elevator to jump floors, now that we have Noah, we don't have to worry about the storage of the car...... I don't know how many layers we're going to have to face. ”
In the back seat, except for Asai Narumi, who was caught in the car with a confused face, everyone else realized the seriousness of the problem and fell silent.
Yes, what if this is in case, layer by layer, they will create more than a hundred layers of deep pits for themselves in the future......
He's not like P5 who sends him junk in batches on a cadence basis, and his side quests are completely random, and there's no guarantee that the new targets will be arranged at their pace.
Don't even say it, as long as you think that Akechi Gorou is also using the impression space to complete the killing, as the fame of the Monster of the Heart Thieves increases, they go deeper and deeper in the subway, and the work that can get off work by playing two floors a day has become a running on the 50th floor of the subway with his legs......
How to say it, if he thinks about it like this, he will have murderous intent towards the protagonist, but it's not incomprehensible......
"If it doesn't work, it's going to be processed in batches. To be honest, the frequency of our usual tossing of monster thieves is high enough, and the speed of producing scum in Tokyo will not be so fast...... Right? Teru Hoshikawa scratched his chin uncertainly.
"If you're determined to get to the bottom of your subconscious, don't hesitate." Akemi Miyano also nodded, "Even if there are multiple layers, it will be a difference in time-consuming." ”
"Okay, since everyone agrees, let's deal with it first." Tang Ze snapped his fingers, glanced at Asai Narumi who was still at a loss after listening for a long time, and didn't know what they were talking about, thoughtfully threw him a topic, "Since you are the fifth member, then leave this choice to you." After all, we need to change vehicles with new members in mind. ”
"Huh?" Asai Narumi raised his head, "What a choice." ”
"What do you think is better for us to buy in the next car?" Tang Ze pointed to the small Beetle that was crowded after five people were stuffed in, "Illusion said that you can buy an SUV, but I prefer to directly engage in an extended Lincoln or something, after all, no one knows how many people will be next, your entire extended car, and it saves Noah from driving two by himself, right?" ”
"Huh?" Suddenly hearing such a nonsensical question, Asai Narumi subconsciously let out a guttural voice of surprise.
This problem, when Noah followed them down the subway, Tang Ze brought it up, and since it was inevitable that the monster thief group would continue to increase its personnel, they began to calculate how to increase the number of vehicles.
At this point, however, there was a serious divergence of opinion.
As long as he thinks of the dripping velvet sports car of Fanchang, he is ready to move, and he really wants to spend money on a similar interior and put it in Xiaoice box......
"SUV kind of car, we have to find a way to find someone to transport it in, but no matter what kind of subway shop, it is unlikely that the extended Lincoln will be used for activities, right?!"
"Why can't it? Let me tell you, underwater restaurants can hang Ferraris on their heads, you have to fully believe in the subjective initiative of the merchants! ”
"A Ferrari is more reasonable than a lengthened Lincoln, right?!"
"Bentley, an extended Bentley is fine!"
"How can it be these flashy models, how can such a long car turn in such a maze!"
"Leave this to Noah, what's wrong, first-class artificial intelligence, what's wrong with driving an extended car on the subway?"
"Don't toss Xiuyi, they haven't been idle lately, ...... FBI"
"It's okay, we can open our own shop first! Right, wouldn't it make sense for us to do our own campaign and bring in the stretch cars? ”
"Just to drive a car, you want to rent a shop on the subway? Do you know how much the shops in Shibuya Subway cost......"
"What's the matter, it's reasonable that we work so the subway and have a base in the subway station, right?"
"Reasonable!"
"Hey, listen to me, just make an extended ......"
In the midst of the noise around them, Asai Narumi, who had been asked for advice, seemed to have been completely forgotten by them, and had already made a noise to himself.
Sitting in the midst of this chirping bickering, Asai Narumi raised his hand and held the fox face of the lower half of his face.
Is this group really serious?
At this time, he suddenly had a real feeling that he was on a thief ship.
Is it too late for him to regret it now?
Okay, Lunaris Island, it's officially over here [standing ovation]
On the design side of Asai Narumi, considering his identity and ending, I finally came up with such a design of wearing a feather weave on the outside of the dress...... Mr. Pei is drawing, and he will go back and draw everyone Kangkang XD
