Chapter Nineteen New Target
After chatting with Dr. Agasa for a while, the exhausted Akatsuki Kurusu returned to her room and fell asleep soon after.
When he opened his eyes again, he was trapped in the cell again.
"Welcome to visit again, guest." Outside the prison, Eagle still maintained his polite but scary smile, "It seems that you have found the direction of resistance and are moving forward again beyond the abyss.
step."
"The direction of resistance? Are you talking about the Phantom Thief?" Kurusu Akatsuki leaned against the fence, his movements still restricted due to the heavy shackles on his hands and feet. "You mean, I should continue the career of the Heart-Stealing Phantom Thief.
Continue?"
"This is your own choice, so why bother asking me again." Eagle was not deceived by Kurusu Akatsuki and directly stated his thoughts, "Guest, as a deceiver, you should believe in yourself.
The answer is in your heart, not necessarily looking for support from others.”
"...You are right. In fact, I have already made up my mind to continue being a Phantom Thief. The question just now was just to seek your approval. Since I have already thought about it, I shouldn't hesitate."
"Very well, guest, it seems that you have once again strengthened your resolve. As long as you can continue like this, I will definitely do my best to help you."
Eagle spread his hands, and twenty-one tarot cards appeared in the air again. Kurusu Akatsuki was surprised to find that there were now three tarot cards that had condensed into entities.
Eagle's fingers stopped on the Fool's tarot cards, and the originally solid tarot cards suddenly shattered, and the fragments were guided by Eagle and floated into Akatsuki Kurusu's body.
"Because you have finally established your goal, the Fool's Arcana has been improved again. Guest, from now on, even in the real world, you can use part of the power of the Phantom Thief. However, this power can only be used near the rift.
, and you still can't summon the Persona in the real world."
"So, as long as the Arcana of the Fool continues to grow, can I use the Persona in the real world?"
"This is a special phenomenon that only exists in special times. As you can see, today's cognitive world is quite close to the real world, so you have the opportunity to use power in the real world."
"Of course, the premise is that the Arcana of the Fool continues to grow. Guest, I am looking forward to that day."
"Then next, I want to give you another gift." Eagle took out another tarot card from the tarot deck and handed it to Lawenda beside him.
Could this be Dr. Agasa's tarot card? Kurusu Akatsuki thought about her interpersonal interactions in the past few days and felt that this tarot card most likely represents Dr. Agasa.
"Guest, in these days of getting along, you have successfully formed new bonds with others. Then the hermit's Arcana will also be used for you."
Lavender, who was standing by, also opened the book of Personas in her hand and incorporated the power of one of the Personas into the Tarot cards.
"Please make good use of this new persona."
"Well, guest, tonight's meeting will end here. We sincerely hope that you can escape from this abyss of despair as soon as possible and find the truth of everything."
…………
At noon the next day, Kurusu Akatsuki sat by the classroom window as usual. The cherry blossoms were blooming brilliantly in spring, but at this time he had no interest in admiring the beautiful scenery.
This morning, Kurusu Akatsuki quietly found a crack and tested his new ability.
As Eagle said, now he can indeed exert some of the Phantom Thief's abilities near the rift. Near the rift, he can change his costume into a Phantom Thief suit in the real world, and his physical fitness and fighting ability will increase to
The level of understanding the world.
It seems that Phantom Thief has a chance to make its debut in the real world.
After experimenting with his new abilities, Akatsuki Kurusu returned to reading recruitment magazines. Although he had already gotten a part-time job from Dr. Agasa, he felt that he had nothing to do and planned to find another two- or three-day job.
Day laborer.
"Let me see... Mihua Library is hiring a new librarian?"
"I remember that the director of this library seemed to be secretly selling drugs, right?" Kurusu Akira recalled the plot about this library director. In the original work, he took advantage of his position to secretly hide drugs in the library.
Inside the book, drug dealing is going on behind the scenes.
Later, when the secret was discovered by a librarian, he brutally killed him and silenced him. As a result, he attracted the attention of the police.
"...I'll forget this job. But this librarian should be made to repent!"
Akatsuki Kurusu flipped through the newspapers of the past few days and found no news about the disappearance of the librarian. It seemed that the librarian who died innocently and tragically in the original work had not yet been killed.
"Next advertisement, the Mihua Art Museum is recruiting part-time security guards? No, this job is not suitable for me. In my impression, there seems to be a murder in this art museum?"
"I remember that the victim in this case was the owner of the art museum, and the murderer was the director of the art museum..."
After spending a lot of time, Akatsuki Kurusu couldn't find a few suitable part-time jobs. Instead, it added a lot of potential workload to Phantom Thief.
All I can say is that it is truly a criminal city, Miwa Town, with the smell of death everywhere!
After a few sighs in his heart, Kurusu Akatsuki simply stopped thinking about the part-time job and decided to focus all his attention on the career of the Phantom Thief.
Currently, there are two people who are temporarily targeted by him.
One is the director of Mihua Library. He secretly runs a drug business and uses his position to hide drugs in the library.
The other is a real estate boss who recently acquired the Mihua Art Museum. Before acquiring the art museum, he swore to his former boss that he would continue to operate the art museum. However, after the acquisition was completed, he revealed his greedy nature and planned to
Broke the contract and converted the place into a hotel.
After thinking for a while, Akatsuki Kurusu decided to make the library director his next target. Not only was this person guilty of serious crimes, but he was also very likely to take away an innocent life soon. He must be made to repent before then.
