Conan: The Heart Thief

Lin Xiao was very curious. Was the person inside the armor really Director Ochiai?

Can an old man really carry armor weighing dozens of kilograms and a sword weighing dozens of kilograms with ease?

"Step aside."

The iron armor threatened Lin Xiao, Xiaolan and Yuanzi were so scared that they moved away, but Lin Xiao remained unmoved.

"Don't think about it."

"court death!"

The man in iron armor wielded a greatsword and slashed towards Lin Xiao.

Chapter 5: Ran Becomes a Phantom Thief Idol

Lin Xiao immediately used Pixie's personality mask and activated the "Gio" skill.

"Gio!"

A bolt of lightning fell from the void and landed on the heavy iron armor.

The iron armor was paralyzed for a while, but it was only paralyzed, and it immediately moved again. A sword slashed towards Lin Xiao, and this time, Lin Xiao had to dodge.

Lin Xiao dodged, and the Iron Armor did not choose to continue to pester him, and then tried to escape.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao changed his mind, equipped himself with the personality mask Andras, and used his exclusive ability to release hatred.

As soon as the personality mask's unique ability was activated, Iron Armor immediately turned around and felt a tremendous hatred towards Lin Xiao.

Holding a big sword, he slashed at Lin Xiao wildly.

Lin Xiao was in a panic. He picked up an iron sword in the hall and started fighting with the iron armor.

"System, what's wrong with this iron armor? It's too strong. Is the person inside really Director Ochiai?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but ask the system in his mind.

"Yes. The person inside is indeed Director Ochiai. The reason why he is so strong is that he is possessed by a demon." The system explained.

"What should I do?"

"Of course, if you defeat Director Ochiai, you can obtain the corresponding personality mask."

Easier said than done... Lin Xiao felt that he was a little too arrogant. It would not be easy to defeat the opponent.

"Wow! Mr. Lin is so handsome." Yuanzi saw Lin Xiao fighting with the iron armor, he was so handsome that love appeared in her eyes.

On the other side, Xiaolan had already called the police and hung up the phone.

"No, I can't just sit there and do nothing."

Xiaolan was very direct and used her karate, which she was good at, on the iron armor.

"Drink!"

Xiaolan rushed forward and kicked the iron armor.

The seemingly ordinary kick actually had an effect. After all, it was a kick technique that could break electric poles and was also effective against iron armor.

With a "bang", the iron armor was kicked away.

"Lin Jun, are you okay?"

"Uh... I'm fine." Lin Xiao wiped the sweat from his eyes with his arm, risking his life, "You take the garden and go first, I'll take care of this."

"I won't leave." Xiaolan insisted on fighting.

However, when Iron Armor stood up again, Xiaolan felt her legs go weak again. If she was fighting an ordinary human, this wouldn't be the case. But fighting this inexplicable monster, Xiaolan was scared to death.

Lightning flash.

The iron armor chopped down again, but it was aimed at Xiaolan.

"what."

"careful!"

Lin Xiao pushed Xiaolan away and blocked the iron sword in the iron armor with one sword.

Lin Xiao only felt that there was a force of several hundred kilograms coming down on him. If he hadn't been equipped with a personality mask, he really wouldn't have been able to block it.

"Well--"

Xiaolan sat down on the ground, not even bothering to admire Lin Xiao's heroic figure. She realized that something was wrong.

Yuanzi helped Xiaolan up, completely losing her composure: "Xiaolan, what should we do now?"

"Let me think..." In the crisis, Xiaolan felt a palpitation in her heart.

"This feeling is..."

"I want to protect Lin."

Xiaolan gritted her teeth, and a tarot card appeared in her mind!

Justice Tarot Card.

A demon appeared before my eyes.

"I ask you, do you want to protect your companions?"

"You are……"

"I am Joan of Arc. Let me ask you again, do you want to protect your companions?"

"Yes."

"Then I will lend you my power!"

Yuanzi, who was next to Xiaolan, could not see the devil in front of Xiaolan, but saw a silver mask appear on Xiaolan's face.

"Xiaolan, you——"

Sonoko was stunned and had no idea what was going on!

"My Lord is here!"

Xiaolan let out a delicate cry and an iris flag gun appeared in her hand. She stabbed the Iron Armored Warrior with one shot, killing him instantly.

After destroying the Iron Armor, Xiaolan's mask and weapons disappeared and returned to their original appearance.

Just then, the police arrived.

"Student Lin, the police are here, we are safe now."

"You killed all the prisoners, so of course everything is fine."

Lin Xiao smiled bitterly. Xiaolan seemed to be the Phantom Thief Idol mentioned by the system. However, she was too strong, which made him, the Phantom Thief of the Heart, lose face.

Director Ochiai was caught red-handed and was arrested by the police without even having to make any inferences.

"Huh? Why aren't you Kudo Shinichi? That's weird!"

Inspector Megure looked at Lin Xiao.

Generally speaking, Xiaolan is there, Sonoko is there, and something happened, so there is no reason why Kudo Shinichi wouldn't be there.

"Inspector Megure, Kudo Shinichi has disappeared for a long time. You can't count on Kudo Shinichi anymore."

Sonoko, who was standing by, explained to Inspector Megure.

"Ms. Suzuki, then he is..."

"Oh. His name is Lin Xiao, and he's a new high school detective."

As soon as these words were spoken, Inspector Megure's eyes lit up.

"Ohhh. So... you're the one who caught the criminal."

Inspector Megure questioned Lin Xiao.

"That's right..."

"I see, Lin Xiao, you are Tokyo's new high school detective."

How can the detective world be without high school detectives, especially in such an important city as Tokyo!

"No, I am not……"

Lin Xiao wanted to explain that he was a phantom thief, but saying he was a phantom thief would only make others think he was weird. It was okay for his friends, but forget about the others.

"Brother Lin, do a good job!"

"..."

……

After leaving the Medieval Art Museum, Yuanzi took the butler's car back home.

It was almost completely dark, with only a faint yellow color remaining on the horizon.

The street lights were on, and beneath them were the shadows of a boy and a girl.

"Um...Mr. Lin, can you accompany me to the supermarket..." Xiaolan asked shyly.

"Uh... okay." Lin Xiao agreed immediately. He knew that Xiaolan must have many questions to ask him.

As expected, Xiaolan told Lin Xiao about the strange experience that had just happened, and then asked the reason.

"Xiaolan, you have become a Phantom Thief Idol whose job is justice. Joan of Arc is your personality mask."

"Huh? How did Joan of Arc become a Persona?"

"The personality mask is just a setting. It does not mean that the personality mask must be a demon. In short, Xiaolan, you are now a Phantom Thief Idol and can use the power of the personality mask Jeanne d'Arc."

"But... what is a Phantom Thief Idol?"

After Lin Xiao's explanation, Xiaolan had more questions.

"You can think of it as the Batman of Beika Town."

"Lin Jun, what about you? Are you also a Phantom Thief Idol? The Batman of Beika Town?"

"No... I'm a little different from the Phantom Thief Idol. I'm a pure Phantom Thief."

"Ale? Why?"

"Well... there's no reason. It's just the setting."
