Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

A ray of light came from a distance and reached directly above the signal tower, and the entire signal tower suddenly lit up.

The collars around the faceless slaves' necks disappeared, replaced by invisible threads on their bodies. They were still firmly controlled, but people didn't know they were still being controlled, and they were just cheering for the arrival of freedom.

This weird scene made several people take a breath.

"What is this?" Mindy couldn't help but ask.

"You understand, this is what Kingpin has in mind," Lucas said. "He's hiding behind the scenes, controlling people invisibly, and people don't even realize it."

"Ugh..." Mindy felt a little disgusted, especially since she once truly thought Wilson Fisk was a good person.

"Let's go see where the light comes from." Lucas looked at Hope.

"Okay."

"Wow!" Mindy's pupils kept shaking as she watched Hope transform into a helicopter.

She thinks she has experienced a lot, but it’s true that a bird can turn into a plane! And this is an aircraft whose material looks anything but soft.

Gwen patted Mindy on the shoulder before getting on the plane, "Just get used to it. It was quite shocking the first time we saw it."

Mindy couldn't help but touch the fuselage of the plane, and it turned out that it was not made of soft material.

"so amazing……"

"Stop touching!" Hope said dissatisfiedly, "If you don't come up, we'll leave by ourselves, right?"

"You can actually talk after turning into a plane?!"

Mindy is a girl who loves hardcore. She is very excited when she sees those steel vehicles, and she also has her own custom-made motorcycle, but now what she sees in front of her is a helicopter!

Climbing onto the plane carefully, Mindy still remembered that this was Hope, carefully controlling herself not to touch things in the cabin, but the enthusiasm and desire in her eyes were difficult to conceal.

"This is so cool!"

Following the direction of the light, the group finally saw a heavily guarded tower in the middle of the lake, a place protected by layers of layers.

"The secret treasure must be inside."

Hope said: "Nine times out of ten, but obviously we can't get close."

The tower is inlaid with high-tech turrets, not even a mosquito can fly over it, let alone Hope becoming a helicopter.

This matter has become extremely troublesome. Everyone knows that the secret treasure is likely to be inside, but those forts that are so powerful at first glance cannot be approached at all. It is also unrealistic to get off the plane at a farther place and then reach the tower. They had no means to get to the tower in the center of the lake. Even if they could find a usable boat, there was no guarantee that the forts would not attack them.

If you are attacked on a vast lake, there will be no place to hide. The other world is not immune to death.

"It looks like we can't get there right now," Lucas said sadly.

"That's right. If you get hit, it'll be over." Mindy said in disbelief. She looked at everyone, "Speaking of which, why are we going there?"

"Because the secret treasure is probably there." Gwen answered her.

"Secret treasure?"

"It is the core of the palace." Gwen continued to explain, "As long as we steal the secret treasure, Jinbin's palace will collapse."

Mindy's eyes lit up, "Will he die then? Brain dead?"

"what?"

"No, no, no." Peter said quickly, "Of course not! Stealing the secret treasure is what we call repentance and makes Wilson a good person."

"I just said don't talk to Mindy about the subconscious. Now it's okay, maybe the understanding is wrong." Hope complained.

He explained to Mindy again: "The palace is the product of twisted people. Most ordinary people don't actually have their own palace, or they share a palace called society. The personal ownership of the palace means that This person has been twisted, and it is a mistake that needs to be corrected. What supports the existence of the palace is the core of the palace, which is the greatest desire of the palace master. What we do is to steal this twisted desire and let the palace master regain his will. Back where he belongs."

Hope observed the disappointed look on Mindy's face and said seriously: "As for whether the palace master can die in the palace, I would say, yes. Indeed, we can make the palace master lose all desires and become a useless person, and then Let him die in reality. But we, the Phantom Thieves, will not do such a thing!"

"Judging others is a matter of great responsibility." Lucas said, "Although we are indeed making bad people repent, our actions have also directly changed their hearts. It is difficult to tell what is right and wrong. of."

"But..." Mindy said blankly, "Those people killed so many people, shouldn't they pay the price?"

This is the biggest difference between Mindy and them. As a vigilante who kills to stop killing in Hell's Kitchen, she has killed countless gangsters. She doesn't think it's a big deal to kill people in the palace. Very hard to judge people, but find this very convenient.

"It's not that they shouldn't pay the price, but the price of death is too light for them." Gwen said, "Let them realize their mistakes and compensate for them for the rest of their lives. You can't Do you think this is the greatest punishment? In any case, it is the power of the government to give prisoners the death penalty, and we cannot and should not get involved in this."

"These...I have never thought about this before." Mindy lowered her eyes to think, then raised her head after a while and said: "Now that I think about it, it is true that it is too easy for those bastards to die. The people who were hurt are not Without compensation, they are still living in pain..."

"That's it, this is the meaning of our Phantom Thieves' existence." Peter said, "If the bad guys truly understand that they have done wrong, and then make up for their mistakes, and turn the bad guys into good guys, then won't the good people in this world become There can be more and more.”

Although Peter's words were a bit naive, coupled with everyone else's words, Mindy was undoubtedly moved, and her eyes became brighter and brighter, "You are right!"

"So, can I join you?"

Facing Mindy's expectant eyes, everyone was a little speechless. Finally, Lucas said: "Sorry, the qualification to join the Phantom Thieves is to have the power to fight in the hall, and you were the one we accidentally involved when entering the hall. Those who arrive do not need to participate in our battle."

"But, I can obviously fight." Mindy didn't understand.

Lucas shook his head, "I know you are very strong in reality, but this is a palace, a world composed of human hearts. The monster made of mud you encountered before was a tenth-level demon shadow called the Ooze Monster , among the opponents we encountered, they were the cannon fodder among the cannon fodder.”

Although Lucas didn't make it clear that Mindy was incompetent in combat, Mindy knew that it was difficult for her to deal with the ooze monster. If Lucas and the others hadn't come, she would have died at the hands of the ooze monster, not to mention Luca. Si also explained that the ooze monster was very weak in their opinion, and this comparison was a bit tragic.

Mindy was silent for a while, "...I understand."

If there is such a disparity in strength, then her joining will only be a hindrance to the Phantom Thieves, and pig teammates are much more difficult to deal with than their divine opponents.

But Mindy is still a little unwilling.

"Why are you so strong in the palace?" She couldn't help but ask.

"That's because we have awakened the power called the Persona."

Returning to the safe house where she was before, Gwen summoned her own Virginia.

Looking at the tall white dancer in front of her, Mindy opened her eyes wide, "So beautiful..."

She held out her hand blankly, and Virginia bent down enough to allow Mindy to touch her.

The touch in the hand is not the warmth of human skin, but as gentle as jade. Virginia is indeed an inhuman existence.

"Persona..." Mindy murmured, taking back her hand.

"I will wait here for you to come back," she said.

Lucas nodded and looked at his companions, "Currently we don't have a good way to enter the place where the secret treasure is, but we are not without clues, such as the signal tower here."

"But isn't that cell tower used to control the shadows?"

"This seems to be the case at the moment, but only by finding out more can we truly understand what is there and how it works." Lucas paused, "The most important thing is that the signal tower is connected to the tall tower in the lake. We Maybe we can find something.”

“It seems like that’s all it can do now.”

After making the next decision, Lucas looked at Mindy, "We are going to explore the signal tower. Just stay here obediently and don't leave the safe house. If you are caught by the shadows, we won't do it this time." I’ll definitely arrive in time.”

"I know." Mindy nodded obediently.

If you continue to fight when you know you can't beat him, that's courting death. Mindy doesn't want to lose her life in vain.

"Then let's go."

Watching the Phantom Thieves climb out of the window and shuttle between floors lightly, Mindy knew that this was the difference between the other world and the real world. In reality, only Peter had such an ability, but here, even Lucas and Ordinary people like Gwen can also possess the physical strength of a superhero.

"Ugh……"

She sighed and muttered to herself in frustration, "I'm treated as a burden..."

No one likes to be regarded as a burden, but this is the reality. If Mindy doesn't want to be a hindrance, she can only stay in the rear.

The members of the Phantom Thieves who entered the signal tower were a little shocked by the tight defense here.

"Are these shadows too much?" Peter raised his knife and chopped off a group of shadows following them, finally getting a moment of peace.

"That means what's inside must be important to them," Lucas said.

Even if you try to avoid the patrolling shadows as much as possible, there will always be times when you are exposed. The most disgusting part of this place is that once a shadow is alerted, the shadows in this area will pupate, which makes Lucas and Greg Wen Du was a little exhausted.

"This is the time to test the stealth of our Phantom Thieves." Hope, who was very comfortable above because the shadow did not raise his head, said, "Be more careful next time."

"Huh... with the density of these shadows, no matter how careful you are, you will always be discovered." Gwen said a little discouraged.

"No matter what, even if it is a test, we have to enter the deepest part of here." Lucas patted his pants and stood up after resting against the wall for a while, "Let's go, keep moving forward."

Being left alone in the safe house and unable to go out made Mindy very bored. She sat on a chair, curled up her legs, and stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.

To be honest, there is nothing interesting to see. Apart from the weird faceless residents, it is basically no different from New York in reality. It makes people sigh that Wilson actually understands every plant and tree in New York so well.

Speaking of which, some super villains love the city where they live even enough to be like superheroes. The most typical one is the gang of rogues living in Central City. They will even take the initiative to expel the villains who are destroying Central City. They help protect Central City when The Flash is away, but they actually go to banks to rob banks every day, just as punctually as going to work, and they compete with The Flash in wits and courage. This relationship can be said to be quite delicate.

Just as Mindy was in a daze, something strange happened outside. She actually saw Wilson on the street!

Surrounded by shadows, Wilson is dressed in a white suit. He is almost the same as he appears on TV. But in reality, he always wears a very friendly smile in front of the public. Just looking at him can make people like him. But here But his face was expressionless, and his face was full of gloom.

Wilson came to the signal tower and said to the bodyguards beside him: "A few little mice appeared in my territory. They are trying to destroy the arrangement now. Find them and execute them immediately."

"Yes, Master." The tall bodyguards bowed respectfully, and then poured into the signal tower with murderous intent.

"How could..." Mindy half-knelt under the window, carefully observing the situation below.

Wilson's appearance was really unexpected, and what was even more terrifying was that he actually brought so many bodyguards to surround Lucas and others!

When was it exposed? With so many people, wouldn't Lucas and the others be in danger?

The more Mindy thought about it, the more anxious she became. She was so afraid that her friends would be in danger that... she felt chills all over when she thought about this possibility.

"Mindy Mindy, think of a solution quickly!" Mindy said to herself quickly, "You are a killer girl! How can you hide behind your friends! Think about what dad would do in this situation!"

Mindy recalled her own experiences. When she first started working in this industry, it was not all smooth sailing. At that time, in order to save herself from danger, her father would always come out of the darkness, expose himself to the enemy, and attract away the enemy. their attention.

Mindy was so nervous that she gasped. She knew that her power in this world might be insignificant, but...but...only in this way could she help Lucas and the others.
