Ye Falcon had to admit that this new group of Phantom Thieves was indeed full of energy.
After they awakened their personas, they skipped class and began to attack Junji Kanike's campus slaughterhouse hall.
Ye Falcon also took this opportunity to observe the combat prowess of these three members of the Phantom Thieves.
Among them, the one who showed the strongest strength and can be said to be the most violent was probably Kusaku Sogo... He showed the courage of a real man in his battle with the shadows in the palace.
After Kusaku Sogo awakened the Kaitou costume, the weapon he used was a weapon called the Explosive Fist, and Ye Shun witnessed him perform the feat of tearing apart monsters with his hands countless times.
Then there's Hyakkiin Chiyo... The charms she uses contain a variety of special effects, such as the most common fire charms and water charms, as well as higher-level energy charms and slowness charms, etc.
This fighting method made Ye Shun suspect that the source of Hyakkiin Chiyo's power should not be simply the power of the 'Phantom Thief' and 'Personal Mask'.
As for Amamiya Rin, her combat prowess was far beyond that of ordinary female high school students, which made Ye Xuan suspect that this girl had practiced gymnastics or ribbon sports before.
The weapon used by Amamiya Rin...that is, the cane can be switched to a chain sword at any time. While using a whip to attack the enemy, the sharp chain blades carried on the whip can also instantly cut countless wounds on the enemy.
.
This weapon Ye Falcon looks very familiar, almost like the threaded cane in "Bloodborne".
The spiritual bodies and spiritual disasters that President Chiyo mentioned were not brought about by Ye Xuan's fictitious reasoning, but by extraordinary powers that seemed to have existed in this world many years ago.
"Spirit bodies themselves do not have bodies in the physical sense like ours, so their existence is basically composed of 'names' and their legends. If they are heroic spirits, they can also add 'the deeds of heroic souls in ancient times that were praised by future generations.
'And so on, it is composed of many aspects."
"It... actually actually appeared! Its original appearance."
But Hyakkiin Chiyo knew it. Not only did she know it, she also firmly believed that this shadow of self-consciousness could be conquered for her own use.
Amamiya Rin was originally thinking about the ancient snow girl legend, but suddenly she remembered that this was Shojo High School.
As Amamiya Rin described what happened during that period, the shape of the snow girl's spirit became more and more detailed.
"It means to help this spirit fulfill its wish. If it is a ghost... it is most likely her long-cherished wish during her lifetime... Amamiya-san, think about what promise you can make to Miss Uesugi Reina, and she will be willing to use her power to
Lend it to you?" Hyakkiin Chiyo said.
"There are several opportunities for trial and error in reasoning about the real name. Amamiya-san, you can combine it with the ancient legends related to snow girls, or the modern news about women who died of snowstorms or freezing to death."
"When I was reading these ancient books, I thought they were stories made up by ancient people, but the steps for making up stories were too detailed."
"Yes, although the steps are all according to the ancient books of the Hyakkiin family, it seems that the process of subduing the spirit body recorded in the ancient books is indeed correct."
"President Chiyo, do you know that the history of our school can be traced back to the Taisho period?" Rin Amamiya suddenly asked.
When Amamiya Rin finished telling this somewhat brief but extremely sad story, the true image of the snow girl spirit next to her had fully emerged.
Like training his children...like learning techniques related to talismans and spirit body subjugation.
As soon as Amamiya Rin said these words, a very slight smile seemed to appear on the face of the snow girl spirit body, and then the spirit body instantly turned into dots of starlight and rushed towards Amamiya Rin!
This little bit of starlight was all poured into the charm in Amamiya Rin's hand, and the words "Snow Girl Uesugi Rina" were written on it, and then the charm turned into a persona.
Hyakkiin Chiyo can also deduce that this spirit is a monster like Yuki-onna. After all, those are the famous monsters that use ice and snow as their attack method.
"Eh? Can these little monsters be caught?" Rin Amemiya also knew this setting for the first time.
"Origin and real name... let me think about it..."
"Is this... is the subjugation successful? Can I use the power of this senior snow girl?"
Ye Shun was watching the process of Amamiya Rin and Hyakkiin Chiyo subduing the shadows, and he was really amazed.
When Hyakkiin Chiyo said this, she pointed at the spirit body that was knocked to the ground by her spell.
Amamiya Rin tapped her chin with her index finger, and made a cute and distressed sound of "Umm!"
During the process of conquering the palace, Amamiya Rin also tried to take off the hoods of these shadows out of curiosity. As a result, just like the shadows in their names, underneath was a face made of invisible shadows.
Unfortunately, before it could even take a step out, the chain sword thrown out by Amamiya Rin's threaded cane bound its right leg, and it was pulled directly to the ground.
Amamiya Rin lightly scratched her cheek and whispered.
"Amemiya-kun, don't the ancient books related to 'spiritual disasters' that have been handed down from your ancestors contain no methods for subduing 'spirits'? Whether they are heroic spirits or evil spirits..."
"In short, the 'name' is the origin of the spirit body, and their power comes from the legends or deeds that shaped them."
Hyakkiin Chiyo lowered her voice, reminding Amamiya Rin to take this matter seriously.
Hyakkiin Chiyo once again summarized the technical points of subduing spirits and said.
It may also be that the monsters that inhabited this hall were too weak. In the end, after being absent from class for half a day, the three of them fought their way to the deepest part of the slaughterhouse hall.
"reasoning?"
"Of course I know this."
She really remembered the legend that a female student froze to death in Shoucheng High School.
"Anyway, our Phantom Thieves have added a new partner!" Amamiya Rin's fighting spirit was now so high that he was almost starry-eyed.
"Kusaku-san, wait a minute...it seems to be tamable."
So under the invasion of these three phantom thieves, whose combat capabilities far exceeded that of normal high school students, the slaughterhouse that originally seemed extremely eerie became no different from an amusement park.
Amamiya Rin couldn't figure out for a while how things like Onmyojitsu were connected with reasoning.
Now there is a way to materialize them, Amamiya Rin said after thinking about it for a while.
"I promise you that as long as I am still studying in this school, I will protect the students in our school and no longer be persecuted by those bad adults!"
"First, we must reduce the spirit body's combat power to a certain level. The lower the better."
Amamiya Rin discovered that she could summon the Yuki-onna-senpai just by thinking about it.
"vow?"
Conquer? Ye Shan became interested immediately when he heard this word.
This made Chiyo Hyakkiin sigh once again, but as the student council president, she was very patient when facing such poor students.
"You have deduced the true identity of this spirit. Now if you swear an oath to her... you should be able to subdue her." Chiyo Hyakkiin said.
"Guy!" Kusaku Sogo was about to give it a fatal blow when he was stopped by Hyakkiin Chiyo.
This new group of Phantom Thieves, Ye Falcon, can only be described in one word...their progress in conquering this palace, that is, traveling.
As the student council president, Hyakkiin Chiyo also knows the history of his school.
It's a pity that this strongest individual caused some trouble to the three-person team.
"Then this is too much."
"Don't make random inferences if you're not sure. I remember it was recorded in ancient books that if you make wrong inferences too many times, they will go berserk. After they go berserk, they will become more troublesome."
"Amamiya-san, please listen carefully. Although I don't know what the relationship between this 'inner world' and the 'spiritual disaster' predicted in our family's ancient books is, these shadows... they are obviously 'spirit bodies'."
This is where Jinchi Junji's secret treasure is located, and not surprisingly, there is a shadow guarding it in the deepest part. This shadow is the strongest individual living here besides the palace master.
But he was still defeated by Kusaku Sogo's whale-killing punch that contained the explosive power of 'Persona Guy Fawkes'!
"Then...Yuki-onna?" Amamiya Rin said another name of a monster that is well-known to the world.
"Then we will deduce the origin of the spirit body, its true name, and its past encounters, and then make an oath to the spirit body based on the past encounters. As long as the spirit body is willing to accept this oath, it will lend you its power."
"Real name...how to reason about this."
This little BOSS shadow guarding the bottom of the level, unlike other butcher shadows, seems to have its own consciousness... even after being punched to the ground, it even wanted to take the opportunity to run away.
But the problem is that Ye Shun did not tell anyone about the setting of the conquest on the forum.
"To sum up, the method of subduing the 'spirit' should be your favorite method, Amamiya-san, and that is 'reasoning'."
"Those were all bedtime stories my grandma told me. Moreover, our family is the head of the Amamiya family and we haven't contacted each other for a long time. My father is also an ordinary office worker, so..."
Amamiya Rin looked at the shadow lying on the ground. In fact, all the shadows in the Golden Pond Hall were butchers wearing sacks on their heads.
As soon as Amamiya Rin said this, the shadow that was held down by Chiyo's charm suddenly became restless and broke through the shackles of the charm. Kusaku Sogo's quick eyesight and quick hands directly used his persona to subdue the shadow.
This made Amamiya Rin think about something for a while, and then he immediately said with a serious expression as if he was going to meet his parents.
Hyakkiin Chiyo patiently explained to Amamiya Rin... what was recorded in the ancient books of their Hyakkiin family.
"The power that Chiyo-sister's shadow used just now was low temperature and frost. Is it possible that it is Yukidouji..."
"One of them was a female student named Uesugi Rina. She was caught by the secret police during a student demonstration. After being accused of a bunch of baseless crimes, she was thrown into an ice cellar and froze to death.
Already."
"It's good that you got her origin right. The next step is to deduce the true name of this spirit. This is the real difficulty."
Hyakkiin Chiyo also cast a slowing spell on the shadow butcher, completely restricting its movement before slowly approaching the shadow.
"It is said that in the late Taisho years, the student movement in the Tokyo area was in full swing. At that time, the domestic anti-imperialist movement was rising, and a group of students from Shojo High School also participated in it during that period."
In the original world view of "Persona", it was the most basic setting that the protagonist could conquer these shadows or demons.
At this point, Hyakkiin Chiyo took out a charm and handed it to Amamiya Rin.
Hyakkiin Chiyo is like an excellent student sighing softly when facing a poor student.
Judging from Chiyo's own attitude that she is not sure about the surrender of spiritual bodies, spiritual disasters should have been in the world for a long time, at least in modern times.
Sure enough, the shadow suddenly became docile, and at the same time, ice crystals began to appear on the surface of the butcher costumes surrounding her, with vague signs of freezing and breaking.
"Now Amamiya-san, you can use your reasoning ability to deduce the origin, real name, and life experiences of this spirit body, so that it can reveal its true form."
She took off her butcher's attire and put on a Taisho period student uniform...
Therefore, although these ancient families headed by Hyakkiin cannot rely on subduing spirits to master extraordinary power, the entire family is still making preparations.
Amamiya Rin was immediately shocked, and Hyakkiin Chiyo was also a little surprised, but she continued to guide Amamiya Rin.
Just wait for a new round of spiritual disasters to come, and use this to achieve your ambition, not only in terms of social status and power, but also in the power of control, which far exceeds that of ordinary people.
However, in the process of subduing the spirit body, Ye Xuan discovered that there were many places where he could use his own fictional reasoning to cheat...
For example, using fictitious reasoning to fabricate the real name of the spirit and its past experiences, etc., and conjuring up a heroic spirit with a name that will last forever.
But who knows whether a spiritual disaster will come to Tokyo in the future, so Ye Shan should focus on helping these young phantom thieves and ensuring that they can successfully steal the twisted desires of Tokyo's big shots.
