However, according to Tamako Akechi, after that, the shadow will gradually "fade away."

Perhaps it was because his real self was also imprisoned, and his twisted desires naturally turned into [despair].

These shadows will become increasingly inactive, and in the end, they will not even be able to maintain the appearance of being human, and will become a pool of strange, wriggling black mud.

As for where the black mud ended up, or whether it disappeared naturally, Akechi Tamako didn't know and never asked.

This is the reward for Akechi Tamako's work, her wish has come true.

Of course, unlike the actions of the Phantom Thieves, this is purely self-interested.

Shi Tong Zhengyi is indeed a villain who has committed many serious crimes and should have been imprisoned for life.

Back then, Luo Zhen was only responsible for repenting, and then let things go.

And Akechi Tamako did hard labor for two years in order to help him get rid of the crime.

Luo Zhen did not accuse her of anything, but just said:

"You, my daughter, have worked hard too."

"..."

Akechi Tamako's lips moved briefly, but she said nothing.

Of course, she knew that she was in the wrong in this matter and did not make any excuses for herself.

Luo Zhen looked at her pitiful appearance and shook his head.

......never mind.

As he walked, Luo Zhen took out a small item from his pocket:

"Here, this is what you should take."

"...What is it?"

Akechi Tamako reached out to take it, opened her palm and looked at it.

Then she opened her eyes wide in surprise.

She knew this thing.

That's a golden chrysanthemum badge, belonging to a member of Congress!

As Luo Zhen walked, he said, "This is Shi Tong Zhengyi's [Secret Treasure]."

"So far, I've disposed of most of the treasures I've brought out of the palace. This one is small, and it was one of the toughest guys I've dealt with in my career as a phantom thief, so I've kept it as a souvenir."

Thinking back to the Shido Hall of Justice, Luo Zhen almost had PTSD.

Although the bald uncle is a big villain, he is actually very strong and it can be seen that he works out regularly.

His shadow was even more exaggerated, and his absolute confidence and arrogance gave him great power.

So it’s no wonder that his treasure is the parliamentary badge. His desire for power to rule over others is his original sin.

In the end, Luo Zhen fought with Shido Shadow, who had activated the 100x Kaio-ken, all the way from the cruise ship to the bottom of the sea, and from the bottom of the sea into the mantle. Finally, they had to go on an adventure in the heart of the field to decide the winner.

You are worthy of praise, Shi Tong Zhengyi. I am afraid I will never forget you in my life...

Recalling the big boss of the novice village who had just debuted, Luo Zhen also took the opportunity to explain the concept of secret treasure to the ignorant Akechi Tamako.

This made her more and more shocked, her eyes wide open:

"If we simply give the target psychological hints ahead of time, we can reveal the source of their twisted desires? And then, if we steal that secret treasure, the twisted desires will disappear... and we can make the person repent on their own initiative?"

"I always thought the online legends about phantom thieves were just far-fetched... I never thought there was such a method..."

The girl was stunned and held the parliament badge in her hand.

182. The Final Battle! (8k)

The interior space of this "Velvet Room" is very large, and Luo Zhen and Akechi Tamako walked for a long time.

The two of them didn't say anything more along the way, and always maintained an itchy silence.

But Luo Zhen may not care, Akechi Tamako is obviously more itchy.

“......( ?o ﹏ o? )”

This girl was so shy that she almost burst into tears, and she kept stealing glances at Luo Zhen's profile.

They did not transform into Phantom Thief costumes among the velvet, and they were still wearing real clothes.

Because of this, Akechi Tamako could see Luo Zhen's face clearly.

(Not good... Not good, not good, not good...!)

(The last time I saw this harem guy, was he this handsome?!)

Akechi Tamako felt her heart beating very fast, thumping like a thunder drum.

The last time, when I was at Madarame's house.

She wanted to expose Madarame's crime and leave him no way to escape, so she found an excuse to drag Rozen along with her.

At that time, she boldly hugged the man and pushed him down.

But until then, Akechi Tamako had no thoughts about this man.

Although he is indeed more mature and handsome than the other immature boys of the same age.

And it seems to be very popular.

That An and Subaru.

The eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family who ran away from home.

And there are Chief Justice Yoshizawa’s twin daughters…they are both very close to him.

But that had nothing to do with her.

Akechi Tamako thinks that she is not a love-brained person.

But...this is a different time.

This man's phantom thief costume, that silver-armored knight outfit and the sexy cape, and the water bird mask...

...That's really cool! (? ? ?? )

She was actually still a little unconvinced about the fact that she was beaten to her knees by Luo Zhen and kidnapped home as a slave.

If she had prepared herself mentally and known that this man had a second personality, she felt that she would have been able to fight better.

And the reason she was distracted was because this man's phantom thief costume was so handsome that it made her heart beat wildly...

Then, even though he kidnapped me and played bondage play on me, he didn't bully me too much.

Moreover, the curry rice he made was quite delicious, and the soy milk was also very fragrant.

He is even the same thief from three years ago.

The one who made that bastard man who abandoned his mother change his ways and kneel down to admit his mistakes to him and his mother...

...I owe him a favor and I have to repay it.

When she thought of this, Mingzhi Yuzi, who was distracted, suddenly heard him ask:

"Speaking of which, why are you called Akechi Tamako?"

"...Huh? What's that? (???)"

Miss Akechi didn't understand what he meant for a moment.

Luo Zhen explained: "Because your father is Shi Tong Zhengyi, right? And he also officially announced that you are his illegitimate daughter. Everyone in the country knows it."

"But his last name is Shido, and yours is Akechi. Having different surnames for father and daughter is like emphasizing that you are an illegitimate child. That wouldn't be good for his public opinion, would it? Why don't you change your last name?"

Ah...Akechi Tamako nodded in understanding.

Many people are concerned about this issue, and there are many different gossip explanations about it on the Internet.

Akechi Tamako doesn't mind being asked.

But for some reason, she didn't want to answer:

"Anything's fine, it's just a small matter. ...And my name is Tamako. It definitely sounds better with Akechi than Shido, right?"

Akechi Tamako, Shido Tamako...which one is better?

Luo Zhen tilted his head in thought.

Then he laughed and tentatively accepted the answer.

Akechi Tamako breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, she felt a little secretly happy.

This man would take the initiative to ask such gossip questions, so it means he is interested in me, right?

A handsome, kind, and capable boy who has the same power of a persona as me...

Wow... so troubled(?>﹏

How long should I lure him for, how many times should I reject his confession, and then force him to agree?

Miss Mingzhi has already started to make small calculations, and she is completely unaware of it.

"Ah, Madarame."

While she was distracted, Luo Zhen finally found the old man he was targeting in the crowded prison.

Along the way, Luo Zhen felt that he had seen at least a hundred imprisoned shadows.

This is still real, excluding the part where Akechi Tamako said "it turned into black mud and disappeared."

It is hard to imagine that Akechi Tamako caught such a large number of shadows by herself in two years.

So after Luo Zhen asked, Akechi Tamako also said frankly:

"I've always suspected that I'm not the only one serving as a jailer in the Velvet Room."

"But I've never met anyone else, nor have I asked. Sometimes when I come back from capturing Shadow, I find some extra prisoners I don't recognize. They must have been captured by other jailers."

In other words, there are probably other people in reality who have personality masks like Tamako Akechi, but they just don't know each other.

This is really getting complicated... Luo Zhen thought to himself.

But let’s not worry about that for now.

Luo Zhen came to the outside of Madarame's prison.

Through the iron railings, the trembling old man inside also discovered Luo Zhen and Akechi Tamako.

This made him open his eyes wide immediately, and he crawled over to grab the railing:

"[Boy! Boy, how did you get here? Do you know me? I'm Madarame! That Madarame Ichiryusai!]"

"[You should know the jailers here, right? Please, tell them I will repent... so can you please let me out quickly? I, I have students to take care of! He can't do without me!]"

Luo Zhen: "Then you don't have to worry, Kitagawa will be fine on his own."

Luo Zhen narrowed his eyes and had no good attitude towards Shadow.

This attitude made Akechi Tamako next to her open her eyes wide with an "Wow~" expression and clap her hands.

They are all veterans and know very well what shadows are.

The flattery and fawning displayed by this Madarame Shadow now were all part of pretending to be pitiful.

He was aroused by the desire to survive, and everything was just for his own survival. If he was really let out, he would definitely forget about it as soon as he turned around.

But Luo Zhen just wanted him to remain true to himself.

After hearing Luo Zhen's words, Madarame Shadow was immediately shocked:

"You know Yusuke?! But that kid... who the hell are you?!"

"So you Shadows are just no good. Your cognitive abilities are too low."
