Tokyo Heart Thief's Daily Life

"Um......"

Da Zhai Yizi sat upright at the bar, opened his laptop and looked up information very carefully.

This kind of transaction was not the first or second time they had done it, and Sister Lala next to them pretended not to hear.

As the real "accomplice" of the Phantom Thief Luo Zhen, Ooya Ichiko did not ask stupid questions.

She simply went straight to the point, staring at Luo Zhen with a pair of shrewd eyes that were not affected by alcohol at all:

"I'm not surprised at all that someone like Kamoshida would engage in power-for-sex dramas. I also believe in the accuracy of your intelligence. If you can give me some more specific time, place, and participants, I can dig up the real evidence and show it to you within three days."

"But Luo Zhen brother, you are still hiding something, right? Did Kamoshida [only] have a relationship with this female anchor?"

This astute reporter hit the nail on the head:

"He's been a high school teacher for several years now. With his style, instead of digging up some minor dirt on a TV anchor, if he started with the female students at school, it would definitely stir up more public opinion and gather more evidence. It would also make sentencing easier..."

"There are only female anchors." Luo Zhen said firmly.

He hung up the polished glass, which was free of fingerprints:

"Students are innocent. Even if Kamoshida did something bad to some of them, those students couldn't resist. Compared to the adults who compromised their future in exchange for this, they shouldn't be involved."

"Of course, Kamoshida also has a serious history of corporal punishment at school, and this is enough to make him notorious. But I don't want to affect others...at least try not to affect them."

Hmm~↑↓

Osaka Ichiko supported his cheek and stared at Luo Zhen's handsome face, which was more mature than his peers, with a slightly amused look.

Of course, Luo Zhen also knew that before Kamoshida fell in love with Takamaki An, he must have made moves on other female students in the past.

Judging from their age, most of those students should be in college.

Perhaps some of them... a very small number of them, took the initiative to seek out Kamoshida and throw themselves into his arms.

But the vast majority of them are certainly unable to defy the teachers' absolute dominant position and are forced to submit.

This is undoubtedly a crime and the worst behavior a teacher can commit.

But if we dig this deep, it is inevitable that the victims who have left Shujin Academy will be put in the spotlight again.

It would be fine if they were willing, but now there is no time to contact them one by one to confirm.

Luo Zhen needs to expose the evidence of Kamoshida's crime as soon as possible and activate the social moral and legal machinery to judge him.

On this basis, we also hope to minimize the impact on the female students. This is the only way.

As for Da Zhai Yizi, she is at least a vicious columnist.

Moreover, I have known this kid Luo Zhen for two years, since he was still a high school student.

Although they have always maintained a tacit understanding between them, she obtains first-hand information about the thieves from Luo Zhen, and Luo Zhen uses her news reports to make the society respond more, which can be said to be getting what she wants.

But this doesn't mean that Ooya Ichiko is just a ruthless work machine who doesn't care about anything else.

"Hey, little brother Luo Zhen."

She moved closer to Luo Zhen and spoke softly:

"If I ask you, is it your idea to protect the female student's reputation, or the Phantom Thief's idea... or perhaps [your] idea, will the Phantom Thief come and steal my heart?"

"I don't know. Refusing to discuss personal matters during working hours."

Luo Zhen replied to Daya Ichiko coldly, causing her to pout coquettishly.

But that's OK, the reporter stretched out his arms:

"The righteous journalist who collaborates with the dark superhero to bring the bad guys to justice is a common pairing in comics. Although the most famous superhero is a reporter himself."

"And no matter what, I'm also a beneficiary of the Phantom Thief incident. The Phantom Thief once saved me and my friends, and I will always be grateful. Thank you for providing the information, Brother Luo Zhen?"

Luo Zhen accepted the flying kiss from Dayayizi and behaved very properly.

More than two years ago, not long after Luo Zhen debuted as a phantom thief, Oya Ichiko was almost persecuted by others.

At that time, she and her friends were investigating the corruption crimes of politicians, and because they went too deep, they were almost retaliated by physical destruction.

Fortunately, Luo Zhen was investigating this line at that time, and the result of stealing their hearts was that he saved these two brave female reporters, and this relationship has continued to this day.

It is rare to have such an accomplice, and Luo Zhen cherishes this relationship in his heart.

-------------------------------------

The next afternoon, school was over.

When Luo Zhen lifted the blockade of Kamoshida's disability.

“—Ahhhh!”

Kamoshida, who had been in a daze for several days, suddenly woke up from his bed.

His room was already filled with household garbage, the table was covered with the remains of instant noodles and other fast food, and even the kitchen faucet was not turned off.

Kamo Shida, who had lost a lot of weight, fell off the bed in a panic and could hardly walk.

He had no recollection of how he had gotten through the past few days; his mind felt completely blank.

"I...I am..."

Ding Ding Ding Ding!

Before Kamoshida had time to think, his cell phone rang.

He answered the call subconsciously, not realizing it was a completely unfamiliar number:

"Hello? Who is it——"

"[Your Highness, Kamoshida Taku, your crimes have been exposed. The punishment of the Phantom Thief and the judgment of society will come soon.]"

Luo Zhen, who was talking through a voice changer, listed several crimes that Kamoshida had actually committed without giving him time to react.

He accurately reported the names of those involved in his power-sex drama, which made him believe the authenticity of the threatening call:

"[You cannot escape, nor can you resist. Your twisted desires will be taken away, today.]"

"But you can prepare yourself and live for atonement in the future. This is the greatest mercy the Phantom Thief can offer you."

“——What are you talking about?! Who are you?! What’s your purpose… cough cough! cough cough cough!”

The weak Kamoshida couldn't even hold the phone steadily, and he was coughing non-stop before Luo Zhen hung up the call.

Luo Zhen took out the SIM card, broke it and threw it into the trash can.

This was his complete set of preparations as a Phantom Thief in the past.

But unlike before, he was no longer alone this time.

Luo Zhen walked out of the dim alley.

In the sunshine, all the members of the Phantom Thieves were waving and cheering at him.

Luo Zhen smiled and walked up to each of them and high-fived them:

"Let's get started. This is the first big job the Phantom Thieves have formed. Let's complete it successfully."

72. Codename: Fool

Accompanied by a burst of powerful music, the Phantom Thieves once again descended upon Kamoshida's palace!

All of them have been here several times.

By now, I can say that I am familiar with the place and have visited all the novice villages.

But this time, as soon as Xing arrived at her destination using her mobile phone navigation, she was immediately shocked!

"Wow, what's going on with this castle?! The whole thing is shaking like cream, and it's giving off this weird light... like it's melting?"

Luo Zhen explained, "This shows that Kamoshida's heart has been deeply shaken, affecting his deep cognition. This is a common occurrence after a crime warning is issued. The hall master is reacting with guilt."

This is actually half true and half false, Luo Zhen hid half of it and didn't tell him.

There are also cases where the thief's theft announcement can indeed cause the hall master's psychology to be greatly shaken, thus leading to drastic changes in the hall.

But in Kamoshida's case, in addition to the effect of Luo Zhen's anonymous threatening phone call just now, it was mainly because he had been sealing Kamoshida's shadow in the past few days.

As he had just lifted the seal on Shadow, Kamoshida's spirit, which had been disabled for several days, suddenly recovered, exacerbating the outburst of various emotions.

This was actually the first time Luo Zhen used this ability.

The power of the god of sleep "Hypnos" is very dangerous. It is a personality mask born from Luo Zhen's most negative emotions.

But in the past, Luo Zhen's rationality was still able to control himself well, and he never used it to truly kill anyone's spirit.

This time, Luo Zhen secretly made this preparation in order to allow Xing and the others to attack Kamoshida's palace without any psychological burden.

Now that he has been unsealed, the mental void that Kamoshida has felt in the past few days has been filled in one go, and he must be experiencing a severe stress reaction in reality.

This will cause his shadow to become even more frantic, so Luo Zhen warned:

"The Hall Master is now subconsciously sensing danger, and the Hall's resistance to us will be at its highest level. Everyone, be prepared and don't be careless."

"【oh!】"

The members of the Phantom Thieves are full of energy and determined to seize the treasure of the evil teacher!

-------------------------------------

Following the route they had explored long ago, Luo Zhen and his group broke into the distorted and changing palace and headed straight for the treasure house where the secret treasure was located.

This time Luo Zhen also joined the battle.

The small fry along the way were defeated in the face of the overwhelming power of the Glorious God, and none of them could withstand a single blow.

Luo Zhen wanted to leave enough physical strength for the other novice thieves so that they could deal with the real boss battle later.

This performance also made Xing, who had been watching Luo Zhen's back all the way, admire him even more:

"Lord Luo is truly formidable... He's been teaching us combat like a coach before, but now that he's actually using his skills, he's incredibly strong!"

"Of course, he's the real Phantom Thief after all."

Fang Zexia looked very proud and was even happier than if she had been praised.

Yoshizawa Sumire immediately chimed in, "Senior, he's been a lone thief for three years. He's been on TV several times, and many of those big names who changed their minds are much more powerful than a small-time thug like Kamoshida."

"Many people online think the Phantom Thief's story is far-fetched, or that he uses hypnosis or something to control others. But now we all know that Senior truly used his strength to overcome the twisted desires of those villains! He must have worked very hard and been very dedicated. To risk his life alone and silently defeat the villains... is that really amazing?"

That's true, everyone in the Phantom Thieves was impressed by Sumire Yoshizawa's story, which was told with deep admiration.

When they first awakened to this superhuman power, they were of course inflated and felt very excited.

But this excitement didn't last long, and it was brought under control with the help of Luo Zhen, an absolute senior.

This made them all realize that even with such superhuman powers, there were people who only used it consistently to target bad guys and reform criminals, and never used it for personal gain... This really filled them with awe.

"Hmmmm... Leader... Ace... Joker... Nothing feels right."

Morgana ran with the others on his cartoon-like short legs, muttering something as he moved forward.

Sakamoto Ryuji raised his eyebrows strangely:

"What are you mumbling about, weird cat? What language are you speaking?"

Morgana immediately erupted in anger: "Those are common English words, you illiterate! Ryuji, are you really a high school student?"

It's really unheard of that a cat can discriminate against one's academic qualifications.

Aside from Yoshizawa Kasumi, who had a pure expression untainted by knowledge, everyone else burst out laughing.

Morgana continued to explain:

"I was just thinking about what nickname to give our leader."

"Actually, I've never mentioned this, but I think we still need a code name when operating in another world! After all, this is a world made up of the subconscious. Although people in the real world won't know what's happening here, if the shadows recognize us and hear our real names, it might leave a trace in the subconscious. Then, the hall masters in the real world will also be hostile to us and feel an inexplicable sense of vigilance."

Ah... this is easy to understand, even Ryuji Sakamoto and Kasumi Yoshizawa can understand it.

The reason why all the awakened Phantom Thief costumes have masks is because they subconsciously realize that to be a Phantom Thief they need to conceal their identity and they cannot just rush into other people's homes and rob them by shouting their real names.

The subconscious mind is a very mysterious thing, so it is better to give it a code name.

Yoshizawa Sumire's eyes immediately lit up, and she offered her own advice:

"How about Prince? Or Angel? Both would suit the handsome image of a senior!"
