Tokyo Psychic

An and Subaru breathed a sigh of relief.

Little did she know, the civics teacher in the classroom had completely put away the vigilance and worry she had raised because of Kurusu Akatsuki, and her tone was no longer serious. "Student Anhe, the question just now is from the introduction section on page 53 of the textbook. Please listen carefully from now on. Remember to get enough rest at night and don't sleep in class anymore."

Old teachers over fifty actually have complicated feelings.

She felt regretful that there was no second "Amamiya Ren" in Xiujin, but was also happy that there would not be a second "Amamiya Ren" in her class.

Having just one of those monster-level students who is so stubborn that he doesn't even pay attention to your classroom rules is enough to give you a headache.

She clearly remembered that she had just accidentally mentioned a point that would be taught the following semester, and was immediately corrected loudly in front of the entire class by Kurusu Xiao, who was answering the question, with precise details such as page number, paragraph, and even the number of words in a column.

This is campus content unique to that transfer student.

He needs to use these details of campus life to show his teachers and the school that although he enjoys privileges, his academic ability has not decreased at all and has even improved.

Thanks to this, every subject teacher in Class 2-D has to pay full attention in the classroom when he appears and make good preparations for the blackboard writing.

Otherwise, you will risk losing face in front of the students.

Sure enough, not every transfer student who receives special treatment from the school is a complete monster like Kurusu Akatsuki.

The civics teacher, who knew a little about the inside story, finally felt relieved.

However, the top students under the podium were also feeling extremely disappointed.

So that's how it is. "Demon General Sakamoto" and "Demon General Mishima" were indeed not lying.

Kurusu Akatsuki is the only hero who was reincarnated from another world.

The brave man who once defeated the lifelong efforts of "Devil Ito" has now become the most terrifying dragon in this school. He uses his terrible talents and gifts to attack the pride and self-confidence of all the self-proclaimed "excellent" students all the time.

What? You said you wanted to hold a "revenge study session," with targeted training every day, to try to overtake Kurusu Akatsuki in the upcoming monthly test?

In response, the second-best student in the grade, who was left behind by a full 200 points, could lean back in his chair with a bleak and discouraged smile, then count the details on his fingers:

You're right, but this is Kurusu Akatsuki. He scored 689 on the Super Model Test, and he's perfected every subject except Chinese, Politics, and World History. He possesses a superb memory, countless ways to solve problems, and by his second year of high school, his academic proficiency rivals that of top universities. He sleeps in class, plays on his phone, but memorizes every single lesson down to the last mark. He can even solve difficult math problems without scratch paper, performing mental calculations in just a dozen seconds. And after handing in his paper faster than he could copy the answers, he'd deliberately go to the podium and make a loud noise, reminding the anxious students to pay attention to the remaining time, and then leave the exam room feeling satisfied...

When the bell rang, a figure appeared at the door of Class 2-C's classroom, enough to make the hairs of all the top 20 students in the grade stand on end.

The evil hero who conquered the "devil" Ito and the Suckers, the great general who commanded the "demon generals" Mishima and Sakamoto, commanded dozens of elite soldiers from Class D, and who skipped classes all day to play on his phone and read comics, spreading bad habits as the "Black Dragon of the Showjin Empire"——

Kurusu Akatsuki (Amamiya Ren)!

"You...what are you doing here?!" The "second in grade" who was sitting in the first row of the classroom and wearing thick glasses immediately stood up and asked the boy in front of him in such a stern but cowardly manner.

Kurusu Akatsuki's gaze actually passed right past her and fell on the window seat in the second to last row of the classroom.

"Anhe, Mr. Ito wants you to go to the office."

An and Subaru were just thinking about the embarrassment they had just experienced in class when they immediately felt the sudden tense atmosphere around them. They quickly stood up, walked out of their seats, and then left Class C classroom with Kurusu Akatsuki.

The "second in grade" who was ignored the entire time stood there in a daze for a long time, and then sat back in his seat in a daze.

She wasn't even considered a "challenger" by the other side.

*

After following Kurusu Akatsuki out of the classroom for a while, An and Subaru noticed that fewer and fewer students were walking around...

This is the sky corridor leading to the club building. A petite and cute girl is standing in the middle of the corridor, holding on to the railing and looking at the sunny playground in the distance.

"This doesn't seem to be the way to the faculty office?" An Hesuba suddenly felt a little nervous.

"Of course not." Kurusu Akatsuki said frankly, "I'm going to take you to the Phantom Thieves' secret base."

An Hesuba's eyes widened suddenly, and Batman's "Bat Cave", Iron Man's seaside villa, and Family Man's underground garage flashed through his mind one by one...

Until Kurusu Akatsuki pushed open a metal door and led her into the empty music classroom.

The door closed in an instant.

The girl who was looking at the scenery in the corridor just now followed in at some point and then skillfully locked the classroom door.

"Alright, next up is the first official meeting of the Phantom Thieves of the Minds. Everyone, please find a chair and sit down."

Kurusu Akatsuki clapped his hands and spoke to An and Subaru in front of him.

"I am the leader of the Phantom Thieves of the Hearts. Two other members cannot be present due to special circumstances, but they will communicate with us through special means."

An He Subaru looked at Jing Serina who was standing beside him. "You said that there are four people in the Phantom Thieves now. So who is this..."

"mascot."

059. The Legacy of Amamiya Ren (Two-in-One)

The sunlight, as clear and ripple-like as a big lake, ripples in the open space of the music classroom along with the curtains swaying in the breeze.

Kurusu Akatsuki smoothed out a piece of printed paper and wrote "Impression Space Evacuation Guide" neatly on it with a pen.

Combining the intelligence he has collected through various channels so far, he can confirm that the "Different World Navigation App" has lost its original function and has become a trap set by the enemy with hidden murderous intentions.

At the same time, there is a high probability that "Ishihara" classmate who disappeared in Tokyo was captured in the image space because the enemy actively triggered this trap... According to the information provided by An and Subaru, she should have been sent to a research base hidden in the suburbs of Kawasaki City that masters the mass production of personality mask users.

But with the sudden typhoon that hit the night before yesterday, all the clues were cut off halfway.

Those guys who called themselves "gods" would rather send An He Subaru, a psychic who also possessed the power of time travel, to themselves than let him go to Kawasaki.

By the time the rainstorm ends, I'm afraid they won't leave any loopholes for the Mind Thief to exploit.

An and Subaru said that they must have been frightened by Kurusu Akatsuki during the last time they went back in time:

An invisible demon wielded a massive gunpowder, loading it with bullets woven from the fabric of human desire. A rainbow of light and heat swirled from the muzzle. Gnostic texts described a master creator god, Yaldabaoth, and the ancient Egyptian mythology of Memphis also depicted a similar master creator god, Ptah. But both Yaldabaoth and Ptah would tremble at the sight of this armor-piercing bullet of sin, one that seemed capable of blasting even the heavens.

This terrifyingly powerful move would be fine if it were a one-time killer move, but two gods of equal status launched a sneak attack side by side, just like playing a game of "Russian Roulette", and the outcome of one death and the other life seems acceptable.

But just before being killed, Kurusu Akatsuki, this unreasonable monster, was able to let the demon-shaped personality mask behind him suddenly take out a second gunpowder loaded with deadly armor-piercing bullets to perform an extreme counterattack.

In fact, when things develop to this point, it is not a "dead end" in the true sense.

The gods can simply go back in time countless times to find a better solution.

Until the girl named An He Subaru suddenly gained the power to go back in time...

Very good, now everyone has to pack up and run away.

The strongest answer to the version, "Intelligence Thief", is logging into "Earth Online".

There is no conspiracy or trickery to play tricks on humans. First, find a way to move all your belongings out of Kawasaki City and then think about it.

Then there was the torrential rain that covered the sky and the typhoon that almost cut off all the roads between Kawasaki and Tokyo.

The crisis beyond the daily routine came to a temporary end.

After returning to school life, Kurusu Akatsuki immediately began to plan a plan to reveal various supernatural dangers to his familiar friends to the greatest extent possible while avoiding exposing his identity as the "Mind Thief".

After all, with the example of Jing Qinren being captured and taken into the impression space, he couldn't help but feel uneasy about his friends who had the "other world navigation APP" stuffed into their phones.

Therefore, in addition to taking the opportunity of holding a "club meeting" to provide special training for the new members, Kurusu Akatsuki also discussed with Lavenda a series of measures to prevent attacks and avoid danger as much as possible in the impression space, and then tried to list them all on a piece of paper.

As for the Impression Space Evacuation Guide, he planned to wait until the qualified girl in the band truly awakened her personality mask, and then have her distribute it to the girls in the band as a member of the Phantom Thieves.

Kurusu Akatsuki really didn't dare to reveal his identity as the "Mind Thief" to ordinary people, as this involved an unspoken understanding between him and his enemy.

For ordinary people, the identity of "Mind Thief" is undoubtedly a Pandora's box. Once it is opened and the things sealed inside are seen, it will inevitably bring about unpredictable disasters.

Carrying Jing Qinrencai with him now is already very exhausting for him. If he carries a few more burdens, in addition to being tied up around them and acting as bodyguards all the time, he may also face the risk of "cognitive diffusion".

Fortunately, there is a network expert in the Phantom Thieves.

At Kurusu Akatsuki's request, Sakura Futaba wrote an alarm program overnight and implanted it into the mobile phones of all people who were closely related to Kurusu Akatsuki through hacking technology. Once any of them was attacked by a personality mask user, the program would immediately send a distress signal to Kurusu Akatsuki.

......

Finally finished writing it.

The Phantom Thief put down the pen in his hand and looked at the entire "Impression Space Evacuation Guide" in front of him. He checked it carefully and then handed it to the two girls sitting next to him to circulate.

Jing Serina cautiously poked An Hesuba's shoulder.

"Do you think this is a bit like..."

"like what?"

"It's a bit like the 'sex knowledge popularization' and 'sexually transmitted disease prevention' leaflets that physiology teachers hand out in class."

An and Subaru didn't know how to deal with her overly unconventional thinking for a moment.

She looked at the "Impression Space Evacuation Guide" in front of her, thinking that the current topic was not serious. How on earth did this girl manage to associate it with physiological knowledge leaflets?

Well, it does seem a bit like that.

After all, once you learn this kind of knowledge, it is almost impossible to forget it, and it will have a permanent impact on your cognition and concepts in certain aspects.

Taking in their reactions, Kurusu Akatsuki felt his blood pressure skyrocket...

He finally held back.

"Today's meeting ends here. You can all go back to class."

A brief separation.

Kurusu Akatsuki locked the door of the club room and walked leisurely towards the dean's office.

It is now the second class in the morning and there are few people on the road.

He soon found the independent office that Ito Sanshui had approved for him in the teaching building.

Bang bang bang.

A polite knock on the door.

Ito Sanshui's powerful voice rang out from inside, "Please come in."

So Kurusu Akatsuki pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as he entered, he saw the Dean of Education sitting at his desk, his hands folded under his nose, like Commander Ikari in Evangelion. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes overlapped, and his deep, unblinking gaze fixed on Kurusu Akatsuki as she entered the office, creating an air of sternness and indifference that made one feel unsmiling.

"I heard from the student union that the club membership issue is already under review. Should it be okay now?"

Kurusu Akatsuki skillfully brought out a bench and sat down opposite Ito Sanshui.

The middle-aged man's bald head was shiny in the light. He pushed his glasses up on his nose and said, "There are quite a few students from other schools involved, and even a female university student who isn't currently enrolled... The process of verifying the information will be very troublesome. We can only try to get this done completely before school is over."

"I'm planning to hold my first club activity today. Where should I get the funds for the club?"

Ito Sanshui pondered for a moment and said, "I'll contact the finance department right away and have them transfer the money to the bank card number you reserved."

Kurusu Xiao was immediately horrified, "No! This is absolutely not allowed!"

"Hmm?" Ito Sanshui looked at him with some confusion. "Could it be that the bank card number you registered in your transfer application is wrong?"

Kurusu Xiao smiled bitterly and began to describe how his debt of more than 10 million yuan had evaporated into thin air through the self-service banking machine that night, and how all his hard-earned money had vanished into thin air.

After hearing Kurusu Akatsuki's story, even the experienced Ito Sanshui felt a lingering fear. "I was negligent and didn't consider the special circumstances of this floor."

However, he was also a little puzzled. "How did such a huge debt fall on you? Was it forced by the underworld? If you have any difficulties, you must communicate with the school. We will do our best to help you negotiate."

"It must be because of the 'legacy' he inherited."

"What inheritance is worth more than 10 million in debt?"

"A shrine that's been abandoned for quite some time. I think its name is 'Kenshi'."

"Kenshi Shrine, a name I've never heard of." Ito Sanshui stared at Kurusu Akatsuki with a strange look. "Just for this, you're going to take on such a huge debt? Is it because the land beneath the shrine is valuable?"

"That land is worthless and can't be cultivated. The shrine complex is in a state of disrepair from being neglected for so long. Demolition would be a complete loss, and there would be a huge cost to clean up the construction debris and pay taxes... It's the kind of land that's being sold at a low price, and there's no reason for a real estate developer to take it over."

Speaking of this, Kurusu Akatsuki really wanted to dig into the original owner's head to see what he was thinking at the time. He actually wanted to inherit the shrine in the hot spring tourist town that had been abandoned for almost half a century.

The details of this inheritance were also mentioned by him in a phone call he received from his "hometown" some time ago, during the conversation with a person who claimed to be the mayor.

Regarding the "Kenji Shrine", it is actually a legacy that "Amamiya Ren" voluntarily requested to inherit.

This extremely absurd decision made many of his relatives and friends think that he had developed some psychological problems after experiencing a dramatic family change, or that he was instigated by some invisible ghost.

In the last century, Hoori was not yet the hot spring resort town that has fully developed towards tourism.

Kenshi Shrine was a very historically significant shrine in the town at that time, and it was very popular. Legend has it that there were so many monks and shrine maidens there that they could support themselves while even offering an antique-level divine sword.

But with the rapid development of the times, this shrine was soon completely abandoned half a century ago due to various social problems.

Hoori also quickly reaped the benefits of the Internet thanks to its beautiful scenery and abundant hot spring resources, transforming from a small mountain village with low income into a hot spring resort town with a developed tourism industry.

As well-known local businessmen, his parents approached the mayor and proposed to rebuild the shrine and restore the traditional culture of Hoori in exchange for a share of the booming tourism business in the hot spring town.

Unfortunately, things happen unexpectedly. They passed away just after buying the rotten land where the shrine was located, and the plan to rebuild the shrine was shelved.

Kurusu Akatsuki was really confused about this.
