Everyone else is a Phantom Thief? You awakened the three mythical gods?

"I've already entered the palace! But I haven't studied it carefully yet, so I retreated. The palace is in the desert! When I went in, I was still wearing ordinary clothes and had not changed into combat uniforms." Alvin nodded and shared the information.

"It should be that Futaba didn't regard you as an enemy at that time. After all, it was her own request. Since she was not regarded as an enemy, the clothes would naturally not change. But it may not be the case next time..." Morgana followed Ivan's words and explained to everyone.

"It's related to the desert. Could it be that Futaba Sakura's keyword is related to the pyramid?" Yusuke was holding a pen and paper and writing something.

"It's a cemetery...and there's a desert inside!" Alvin nodded.

"A cemetery in the desert, so that's it!" Shinjima fell into deep thought, and then she seemed to remember something and suddenly asked, "Wait, Ivan! If you go in directly, won't you get Futaba? You're not that kind of person, so does that mean she's qualified?"

Ivan cast an admiring look at Shinjima. "As expected of a military strategist. I asked Kara to look up a lot of information and finally found some information! Futaba's mother is studying cognitive science!"

"Cognitive science? What is that?" Everyone had the same question.

"To put it simply, it's about how cognition works and how it affects reality! Does it feel familiar to you?" Alvin explained to everyone with a serious face.

"Personality mask and palace?" Zhou Ke'er was the first to react. His thoughts immediately began to spread. The long-nosed old man, Morgana...

"That's right, which means that Futaba's mother did not commit suicide, but was murdered. Although the information is incomplete, we can still tell from the clues that something is wrong. Futaba's mother should have been murdered, and someone must have taken away her research results! And..." Ivan hadn't finished his words.

"And he disabled her, right? It was most likely that bastard Goro Akechi!!!" Ryuji exploded in anger!

"Right, so it wasn't actually a car accident suicide at that time, but someone entered her inner world and disabled her! And then she was hit by a car and died! It was faked to make it look like suicide." Ivan nodded, confirming Long Si's words.

"It's really unforgivable! He pretends to be a righteous detective on TV, which is really disgusting!" Yusuke frowned, his tone full of disgust.

"The specific research content and clues are gone. These are just speculations based on some existing information." Alvin shook his head.

"So are we going in today? We need to be prepared. That's a desert! Sister Wu Jian hasn't come today yet, right?" Xing asked.

"No, let's not go in today! Let's meet at my house tomorrow. We'll explore the palace tomorrow, so everyone should prepare everything today!" Alvin shook his head. It was already late, and it was not suitable to continue exploring. There was not enough time.

After everyone had dinner at Ivan's house, they went home. Ivan went to Wu Jian's clinic and told Wu Jianmiao the reason for the incident, which was also a way of sharing information.

In group chat...

Ryuji: [I've prepared lots of water! And food! A full backpack! - And attached a picture at the end!]

Shinjima: [We won't stay in the desert for too long, right? Aren't the main locations the pyramids? And Morgana will turn into a plane, right?]

Zhou Keer: [Just bring something similar to what you usually bring. Morgana said he will turn the air conditioner to the lowest setting! ]

Yusuke: [In that case! I'll just carry two waist bags like before! All the other equipment is in Ivan's RV anyway.]

Xing: [Why is Ryuji acting like he's on a spring outing...]

Long Si: [I've never been to the desert before, so I just searched online to find out what I needed. This cost me a lot of living expenses! ]

Ivan: [It’s okay! You can save it for later! I really like that flavor of potato chips. I’ll bring some to eat together tomorrow!]

Ryuji: [OK! I bought a lot of bags! ]

Takemiya: [I see the news is all about Megiddo, is that really okay? It is said that the authorities have blocked the information, and no one knows what he admitted in the announcement.]

Shinjima: [Do you want me to go back and ask my sister? She should know about this!]

Yusuke: [Wouldn't it be inconvenient? It would be bad if it aroused suspicion. This is really tricky! ]

Ivan: [Summer vacation starts this weekend. You can gather at my house later. Unless it’s a commission from Impression Space, this place is closer! The air conditioning is also much better than the RV! ]

......

Thursday, July 7, after school...

Everyone gathered at Ivan's house. Long Si still carried the big bag and put it on the ground with a thud.

"Check your stuff, put on your equipment, and let's get ready to go! Our goal this time is to make Sakura Futaba repent!" Alvin took out his cell phone and clicked on the navigation to remember to record it.

In the palace, the scene was still the same, with the sun shining brightly in the sky.

The moment everyone came in, they had already finished dressing, and Shadow Futaba must have noticed it.

"It's too hot! I feel like I'm going to get heatstroke after moving from the air-conditioned room! This sweat isn't even dripping onto the ground and it's about to evaporate, right? Mona's going to turn into an airplane!" Ryuji yelled.

Morgana did not hesitate to jump forward and turned into an airplane. "Come on up, the air conditioner is already at the lowest setting."

Everyone entered the cab, and a cool breeze blew over them! Then Morgana started flying towards the pyramid in the middle of the desert.

A few minutes later, everyone flew over the village surrounding the pyramid and arrived at the center.

"It's so hot as soon as we got off the plane! Dragonborn, how come you haven't sweated a drop, aren't you hot?" Long Si looked at Ivan who was calm and composed. It was obvious that Ivan's Phantom Thief suit was the thickest, so how come he wasn't hot at all!

"Maybe it's because of my special physique. Everyone's physique is different!" Alvin said as he walked along the stone road towards the pyramid.

At the end of the cobblestone road is the staircase leading to the pyramid. At first glance, the staircase alone seems to be as high as 2-3 floors, which means you still have to climb the stairs first.

There are pillars on both sides of the road that are engraved with words, which really has the Egyptian style.

"The pyramids are cemeteries!"

"It's the royal tomb! There are other theories that the pyramids are devices for resurrecting the dead!"

"Anyway, let's go in and take a look first! It's full of the aura of shadows in there, so everyone should be careful!" Morgana reminded, and then followed Ivan's steps to climb the stairs.
