Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

It's not that Harry doesn't trust Lucas, it's just that the gun in his hand is too real. Even after confirming it several times, he still feels that it is a genuine gun.

But when he actually pulled the trigger, it was like a lot of revolving doors passed before his eyes in just a short moment.

There was Norman's proud smile when he hugged him as a child, his acquaintance with Peter and Gwen, and his sadness at traveling to Europe alone. In the end, there was a warm reunion and acceptance.

Harry already knew what he wanted.

Back in the present, as the firing pin activated the Dusk Feather, Harry felt something pass through his head.

laser? Particle beam? Not a bullet anyway.

He heard something break, as if something like glass had been shattered in his head, and then Harry heard his own voice again.

"I am you, you are me, born from your heart——"

The information was poured into Harry's body along with the power. The black energy surrounding him made a faint wailing sound, and was swallowed up by the figure that gradually appeared behind him.

The power of red and black curses surrounded him, and the great king from hell was built behind him.

"My name is Alastor, the demon lord from hell. You are very interesting. Haha, I will reluctantly let you use one billionth of my power."

"Demon Lord..." Harry felt the endless power and raised the corners of his mouth.

Although born in a religious country (yes, America is real), the Osborn family does not believe in God. Naturally, Harry is also the same. Using the power of demons to blaspheme God does not exist at all.

"Fake!"

As Harry made his choice, the motionless shadow moved again, but this time Harry was no longer afraid.

"Die."

As soon as the words fell, a large amount of curse power swept over them. The instant death ability was determined successfully, and the shadows lost their lives in an instant. They could not even utter a scream and turned into gray smoke and disappeared.

"call……"

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, but then a feeling of exhaustion overwhelmed him.

Harry sat down on the ground without any image. He even felt that he didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.

"Even if I'm mentally prepared, the cost is greater than I thought..." Harry said helplessly.

Lucas did talk about the consumption problem of the persona, but at that time, Harry naively thought that he could accept it, but he didn't expect that with just one blow, his whole body shriveled up, and not a drop was left!

"Press this button to release the isolation system." Lucas looked at the red button in front of him.

"It's been so long... Nothing will happen to Harry..." Peter said very worriedly.

"Now we'll find out." Lucas pressed the button.

The door slowly rose, and everyone could finally enter the room.

"Harry? Harry!" Gwen immediately saw Harry leaning against the wall, looking very weak.

She quickly ran to Harry and knelt down to check on him, "Oh my god, are you okay?"

"I'm...not hurt, just...very tired..." Harry said reluctantly.

Only then did Gwen notice Harry's sexy black and red tights.

"This is..." Gwen was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and said with bright eyes: "Harry, have you also obtained a persona?"

"Ah."

"That's not surprising." Lucas said, "People who have just awakened their personas always use up a lot of energy."

Harry put his hands on Peter's shoulders and stood up, and asked timidly: "But you don't seem that tired."

"It's actually not bad once you get used to it." Mindy said with a smile, "You will like this feeling of exhaustion later on."

"If you're as tired as you are today... I'm skeptical." Harry couldn't help but say.

"Too bad, this is not my first time." Mindy said with a snort.

Peter looked at Mindy suspiciously, "No, when you first awakened your persona, weren't you so tired that you fell asleep as soon as you left the palace?"

Mindy, who was mercilessly exposed by Peter, blushed all of a sudden, "That...that's because I killed many shadows before!"

From this point of view, Mindy was really right. After all, she single-handedly killed a large group of shadows in her mortal body. Although it was a terrain kill, it was still impressive enough.

"Yeah, Mindy was very powerful back then." Lucas smoothed the girl's hair skillfully.

"Of course." Mindy said proudly, "Lucas has the vision."

"Speaking of which, what are the attributes of Harry's persona?" Gwen asked curiously.

"Hmm...according to the memory I got, it's a curse attribute." Harry said.

"Grudge?" Hope opened his eyes wide, "It's my incompatible attribute."

Blessing and curse, like light and darkness, are a pair of mutually restraining attributes.

"Isn't this just right?" Lucas smiled, "Our team just lacks a persona with a curse attribute."

Although Lucas can recover shadows with different attributes and use them as his own persona to fight, the one that is most compatible with him and the easiest to use is his original telekinetic persona. Harry's arrival is equivalent to filling in the gap. A blank space.

"Can we still persist?" Lucas asked, "If not, it doesn't matter, we still have plenty of time."

Even though he was physically exhausted, Harry still shook his head persistently, "I can do it."

Looking at Harry who was unable to stand still, Lucas couldn't help but sigh, "It won't do any good even if you force yourself. It's better to recharge your batteries and fight in the best condition."

He patted Harry's shoulder comfortingly and said encouragingly: "Now you have the strength to join the Phantom Thieves."

Harry opened his eyes wide, "Is...is that so?"

Lucas nodded, "The Phantom Thieves are not a demanding brotherhood. We are all friends and come together because we share common ideas."

"Yeah, how about Harry?" Peter smiled and looked at Harry, "Want to join us? You are welcome by everyone."

Everyone in the Phantom Thieves looked at Harry with a smile. Just as Peter said, everyone was looking forward to Harry's joining.

"Really, in this case, what reason do I have to refuse." Harry couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

"Then from now on, you are also a member of the Phantom Thieves and our companion."

After resting for a moment in the shadowless room, Harry felt like he was okay again.

"I can still fight," he said.

"Not reluctantly?"

Harry shook his head, "Don't force it."

"That's good." Lucas tossed the work badge in his hand, "I picked it up from the floor. It must have fallen from the shadow you defeated before."

"It's supervisor-level authority."

"Yeah, but what we need is ministerial level." Lucas said, "But even so, we can go to some places that we couldn't go before."

Lucas can sense the strength of shadows, and the Hawk Eye skill is much easier to use than he imagined, but...

Lucas couldn't help but rub his sore eyes. All strength had a price. He just opened Eagle Eye for a while, but his eyes were already tired.

"Are you okay, self?"

Lucas shook his head, "It's okay, I feel a powerful source of power. If the minister is the owner of the highest authority at this level, then he may be the minister."

"Per Father's liking, most likely," Harry agreed.

Lucas led everyone to the shadow that exuded a powerful aura.

"Who are you?" the tall shadow said gruffly, "This is not a place for children. What are you doing in the Osborne Group, a top-notch biological group?"

"What kid?" Harry walked out from behind Lucas.

"Master Harry...Master." The minister panicked the moment he saw Harry, "Why are you down here?"

Feeling that such shadow employees were afraid of him, Harry's eyes flashed with helplessness. He thought that his temper was not very bad, but the shadows here looked like they had shadows on him. He could only say that it was Norman. Cognitive issues.

"Is it your turn to ask why I came down?" Harry raised his chin indulgently, "Let me ask you, are you the minister on this floor?"

"Yes...yes." Although the minister admitted, there was obviously more doubt in his eyes when he looked at Harry.

But it's already too late. For the Phantom Thieves, finding the minister is their goal.

"let's go!"

Different personas appeared behind everyone, but the one that appeared behind Harry looked particularly weird with an ominous black aura.

In the siege of justice, the ministers on this floor were quickly eliminated by the Phantom Thieves, and the Phantom Thieves also obtained the minister's work badge.

"Great, it's finally the minister's work badge." Gwen smiled.

"That way we can continue upstairs," Peter said.

"Then let's go! We can finally say goodbye to this floor!" Mindy said excitedly.

Everyone returned to the door that blocked them in the first place.

"Can you pass it now?"

Lucas took out his work badge and swiped it on the screen. Everyone looked nervously at the screen of [Authenticating——].

Finally, after a few seconds, the green words "Authentication Successful" appeared on the screen.

"Awesome! Finally done!" Peter waved his hands excitedly.

"But it's a bit strange. I obviously think that Norman will be one of the people whose minds have been tampered with, but there is no sign of this yet." Lucas said with a frown.

"But we haven't reached the deep end yet, have we?" said Harry.

"What you said makes sense." Lucas said, "I'm just a little anxious."

"Self seems to be very concerned about the person behind the tampering incident." Gwen said.

Naturally, Lucas would not tell his companions that he felt familiar with those black energies. This was not a matter of trust, but that when he thought of this issue, he felt a strong sense of fear deep in his bones.

Intuition is constantly sounding the alarm, warning Lucas not to continue exploring, but even so, he still hopes to find the truth about his past, even if... the truth may not be beautiful.

"Ah, because it has happened several times. Even if he is not hit by us, a guy who wantonly tamperes with other people's consciousness cannot be forgiven." He said.

"You're right! It's completely unimaginable what the purpose of the person doing this is!" Peter said supportively.

"So..." Harry remembered the hallucinations he had heard before and told everyone about it.

"What? There is such a thing?"

"Could this be the beginning of tampering..." Lucas narrowed his eyes.

"Maybe, it's trying to convince me that I'm just a mindless pawn, an outcast from the world."

After obtaining the Persona, Harry found that the auditory hallucinations had completely disappeared. Now he was particularly clear-headed and could begin to analyze things accurately.

"If you hadn't come to me, I would have probably fallen into its trap." Harry smiled bitterly, "I believe you all have abandoned me."

"This... this is so abominable!" Peter opened his eyes wide, "We have always been good friends!"

"I know." Harry smiled, and then he lowered his eyes, "I was just wondering how many people can withstand such temptation when they are depressed and alone."

Lucas had an idea.

"That's what it chooses for!"

"Eh?"

“People who are stuck in low or negative moods are vulnerable to being targeted,” Lucas said.

Thompson's self-esteem has been frustrated, Wilson has lost a close relative, and Norman is facing the threat of terminal illness. The three hall masters undoubtedly have their own troubles, and even the affected Dr. Connors also has problems with workplace discrimination.

Everyone looked at each other.

"But even so, we can't stop it at all. You know, the form in recent years has not been good."

The economy is down and inflation is happening, but most people's wages have not increased. The wages that were originally enough to cover their living expenses are suddenly not enough, and they cannot guarantee the current quality of life. For a normal human being, a decline in mood is completely unavoidable. things.

This can also be felt from the increasingly sinister impression space, which is the impression space of everyone's subconscious mind that best reflects this.

"It can only be said that it is ironic. Even though clean energy has been invented, most people still have to pay exorbitant electricity bills." Mindy crossed her chest and said disdainfully.

"This is the fact." Lucas shook his head, "Let's not continue talking about this topic. Let's go up quickly."

If they continue to chat, they will have to talk about some sensitive content. There is a small capitalist in their team. Lucas does not want Harry to be embarrassed, not to mention that the drugs sold by the Osborne Group are already relatively cheap among their peers. As a giant, Osborne Group adopts a strategy of small profit but small profit, but the price of doing so is...

"The upper floor is actually a factory area?"

Harry frowned, "Something's wrong. How can a factory be built on an office area?"

"The space has changed..." Lucas thought of the strange scene inside the water monster in Wilson Hall. The essence was that the space was torn and twisted, which was also a sign of the mind being tampered with.

"Let's go, it seems we are getting closer to the answer."
