The Trickster's Ninth Episode

If Blank has become a strange thief, does that mean they have a persona?In other words, their knots have been untied, right?

Personality masks can be simply understood as demons in a more metaphysical way. People with strong minds can control demons to fight. It's such a simple principle.

For the world of strange news, a strong mind is equal to a strong personality mask, which is very idealistic.From P3 to P5, Velvet selects guests and develops their original potential, rather than empowering them.The protagonists gradually become stronger in their hearts during the journey, which is their source of strength.

Blank out of the shadows... how exactly? !Me in the past, teach me!

Ugh......

In addition, other things worth paying attention to are that the self in the dream said that the memory in the dream happened in September 2018, which means that although I have reincarnated many times, it is not always the same. The reincarnation started in March when the "plot ended". The resetting of the world probably happened when something irreversible happened...or it was only used when the new world needed to be actively integrated.

at last......

Ah ah ah ah ah! ! !He is so envious! ! !

Manipulating Satan Yael and Izanagi Dagami, Thief God, possessing supernatural powers, I'm really envious!

I want to play this!play this for me!

Give me one too (shock sound)!

Although I knew from various clues that I was very powerful in the past, but this time the dream really showed Amamiya Ren how powerful she was in the past in the most straightforward way.The contented mood that he had repeatedly convinced himself to be indifferent to superpowers wavered uncontrollably, his heart tickled as if being scratched by a cat.

Feeling turbulent, she rolled half a circle on the not-so-spacious bed, and Ren Yugong sat up from the bed.

Forget it, I can only think about it.

After clearing up his mood, he still hadn't forgotten that people from the Yasen Group would come over early this morning, which is why he still set the alarm clock even though it was a holiday.

Time to wake up.

Chapter 6 Yasen's visit

April 4 → August 30

In the early morning, Yu Gonglian stared blankly at the person in front of her, keeping the posture of opening the door, her brows furrowed involuntarily, and she didn't respond for a few seconds.

"What? You called me over so early, why don't you invite me in?" The person outside the door looked at Yu Gonglian jokingly, and said so.

The man wore a dark red slim-fit suit with a white collared shirt, a black top hat, and red Martin boots.With a very eye-catching bright red gloved hand, he fiddled with the hardwood cane in his hand very gentlemanly, and smiled at Amamiya Ren in a leisurely manner.

"Or is it better to see you like this?"

As he said that, the person in front of him raised his cane and lightly tapped it on the ground. For just a moment, like a blink of an eye, the world turned into red and black, and the gentleman in the red suit in front of him turned into a A humanoid monster with chains around it and black wings on its back.Devil's horns grew from his head, and his facial features turned into a hideous mask, which seemed to be burning with flames.

This scene only lasted less than a quarter of a second, but it was enough for Umiya Ren to see it clearly.

"Ya Sen..." Amamiya Ren murmured the name of the person in front of her.

Then Umiya Ren held her forehead with her hands in disbelief, looking a little confused.

"Wait, wait a minute... Yasen? But isn't Yasen a persona?" Amamiya Ren thought that the Yasen Group could have many problems, but she never thought that the person behind the Yasen Group is Yasen. Mori.

Yasen is the persona of Ren Amamiya, a form of power that can only appear in the other world.Not to mention that Yasen cannot theoretically appear in the real world, the most important thing is that Yasen is a part of Ren Amamiya!Even if Amamiya Ren doesn't have an awakened Persona now, Yasen should be sleeping in his heart as a part of Amamiya Ren.

It's too unbelievable for the persona to become a person or something.

"You have a lot of doubts in your heart right now, and that's why I'm here, go in and talk." Ya Sen put his hand on Umiya Ren's shoulder, tilted his body, and squeezed from his side without thinking that he was an outsider past.

"..." Ren Amamiya took a deep breath, turned her head to look at Yasen who was going her own way, closed LeBron's door again, and sat down opposite Yasen's.

"You said you were Yasen, but how did the Persona move freely in the real world? What state are you in now?" After sitting down, Ren Amamiya asked directly without beating around the bush.

"My current state is somewhat similar to the [Shadow] that has not yet awakened into a persona, but it is not the same. To be precise, I am a side of you, a silhouette, endowed with strength and shape. ’” Yasen explained.

In the other world, everyone has a [Shadow], and [Shadow] is the self that a person is least willing to face. If you refuse to admit that [Shadow] is yourself, then [Shadow] will be abandoned and fall into a state of no owner. Turned into a shadow monster, and had a very high killing intent towards the original owner.

And if you have a strong heart that can face your own flaws and ugliness, and admit that [Shadow] is yourself, [Shadow] will awaken as a persona.

However, this is the setting reflected in the previous work. The characters in P5 did not face their own bad side. The way Ren Amamiya and the others awakened the persona was to resist their original destiny.

Or it can be interpreted in this way, before the strange thieves decide to "resist", they appear in reality as "shadows", put on masks, and live in an ugly appearance that they don't want to face.So taking off the mask and finding themselves is the way for them to awaken the persona.

"As far as I know, the Yasen Group has appeared at least four or fifty years ago, but I wasn't even born at that time. What's going on?" Amamiyalian then asked.

This is also one of the reasons why he has never thought of the Yasen Group on himself. The consortium developed four or fifty years ago, if you say that special people like Igor stand behind the scenes, it is understandable. Shouldn't it be...[A persona of a time traveler who will not make a sound more than 50 years later has become an incarnation through a special way]-this kind of inexplicable thing should be the ruler, right?

"Is it difficult to cheat the time while resetting the world?" Ya Sen asked with his head tilted.

"..." Yu Gonglian looked at the other party with a downcast expressionless expression.

"In this case, do you remember the memories of the previous reincarnations? Why did I lose my memory?" Yu Gonglian was silent for a few seconds, not wanting to get entangled in this kind of topic, she waved the previous topic aside, Ask other questions that concern him more.

"You may be disappointed about this. My memory is also incomplete. The only complete part is the memory of the first reincarnation. And I don't know why our memory is lost." Yasen said helplessly. "After all, I am you, and you are me. If your memory has not been recovered, I should be in a lost state."

"However, the strange thing is that although I have lost my [memory], I remember all the [knowledge] we have. From this [knowledge], I can deduce a lot of things that I should not logically know. Things, so most of your current doubts, I should still be able to answer."

"The memory of the first reincarnation? If you don't have the memory of the previous reincarnation, why do you only remember the first reincarnation?" Yu Gonglian asked.

Yasen didn't answer, but just took out a small square box from his arms and put it on the table.

"what is this?"

"Here is the memory of your first reincarnation."

"!" Yu Gonglian showed surprise, picked up the box from the table, and wanted to open it to have a look.

"I don't recommend you to open it now." Although Ya Sen didn't stop Amamiya Ren, he stopped verbally.

"why?"

"Digesting memories takes time, although this memory was originally yours. But don't you have something to do later? We haven't finished talking about the problems between us. I recommend you to find a free time when you have nothing to do. This box."

"..." Hearing this, Yu Gonglian stared at the box in her hand for a few seconds, then put it back on the table. "This thing... won't be lost?"

"Don't worry, I can't lose it. Memory is something that others can't see even if they open the box, let alone take it away. Even if it is lost unintentionally, it is just a forced return of memory. If it is reflected externally, it is probably that you may He will suddenly stand there in a daze without warning." Yasen said nonchalantly. "Except for you and me, even if someone takes the box, the contents of the box cannot be taken away."

"Where did you get this memory?" Ugonglian asked.

"This memory has been with me since I appeared in this world." Yasen explained casually, and then changed the topic. "But..."

"Apart from this memory, do I know where the other memories are?"

Chapter 7 The world is never enough

"...It's been four or fifty years, and you haven't gone to retrieve those memories?" Yu Gonglian hesitated for a moment, and realized that there was something in Yasen's words, so she answered the sentence casually and waited for his next sentence. .

"I can't get those memories, you have to go there yourself."

"Go in person?" Yu Gonglian frowned, but it sounded more and more mysterious. "Do the rest of my memories also want to be placed somewhere like this, like an item?"

"It depends on the situation, each is different," Yasen said. "However, there is something in common, that is, the memory of a certain reincarnation must be kept by one or several related characters."

"For example, the memory of your second reincarnation is divided into twelve parts, which are held by twelve women." Yasen spread his hands and shrugged, as if I was powerless anyway.

"Huh?" Yu Gonglian was stunned, showing the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

WTF? ? ?

"The memory of other reincarnations is similar, but the good news is that it is not as serious as the second reincarnation. Either it is with a certain woman, or it is with a certain man. Ah! It may also be with a guy who is not human. "Arsen continued.

"Did you feel that the words in your mouth have become more and more strange since just now?" Yu Gonglian complained with a complicated expression.

"There's no other way. After all, it's the truth." Yasen said indifferently. "Do you have any questions? If not, after talking about private matters, I still have some business matters for you."

"How can there be no problem? My mind is full of questions right now... But it is true that time is limited. If you still have business, then I will ask one last question." Yu Gonglian said helplessly. Knowing that the person behind the Yasen Group is Yasen, he would definitely not arrange such a hasty meeting.

He originally thought that the people in charge behind the Yasen Group were, in all likelihood, riddlers like Goro Akechi and Kusuo Saiki, who might know everything but just didn't want to talk about it.

"Oda Nobuhime is an artist under Yasen Entertainment, you should know it? Oda Nobuya originally didn't have any older sisters. What is the Mind Hacking Project? Who are these groups called Vtubers in name?" Yu Gonglian frowned and asked. "Also, I noticed a strange ability in a girl named Xie La before. When she sings, she will have a very strong empathy phenomenon. Do you know what's going on? "

"I don't know the girl named Shera you mentioned, but the phenomenon you mentioned reminds me of Hatsune Miku. They were integrated in the sixth reincarnation. You can find it yourself if you have a chance. They asked," Yasen said.

"Hatsune Miku?...Do they also have such abilities?" Amamiya Ren was a little surprised.

"You haven't been to their live concert, have you? Actually, if you had, you wouldn't ask me this question." Ya Sen said with a smile. "As for the Mind Hacking Project, it's actually not a big deal. I just gathered this group of new people who appeared in the ninth reincarnation. As for what these people can do, I just have some preliminary guesses, and I can't make a conclusion yet. "

"One thing I can tell you is that all the merged worlds are not randomly merged, but consciously selected by you before you lost your memory." Yasen explained.

"Choose actively?" Yu Gonglian frowned deeply upon hearing this.

This is actually not much of a surprise, but the crux of the problem is...whether it is Oda Nobuhime or Shera, these people Amamiya Ren didn't know each other at first!

Whether it is the Parallel World of Odd Records, or the other seven worlds known so far, at least they are the worlds that Ren Amamiya knew before crossing, but he doesn't know any of these characters that appeared in the ninth time. Under such circumstances, how did he choose to incorporate such a world into it?

"The world today is running according to a wonderful rule. I can be sure that all of this is the result of your first eight reincarnations, and from the eighth to the ninth, you chose these things before you lost your memory. Vtuber, there must be a reason. The V family knows this reason. But in order to prevent you from restoring your memory through me, they didn't tell me."

"It's just that since the ninth Vtubers are so special, I will build a stage that is most suitable for them. No matter what they can do, they must first hold this power in their own hands. This is the so-called mind-hacking plan."

"Wait a minute!" Yu Gonglian suddenly stopped Yasen.

The amount of information that Yasen disclosed is very large, and basically there is nothing unimportant in it, but at this moment, Ren Amamiya is not in the mood to think carefully in this direction. He just listens to Yasen's statement, and suddenly has a creepy feeling Rise up from the heart.

"You just said... from the eighth to the ninth time, I chose them?"

"That's right, what's wrong?"

"Such rhetoric...isn't it saying...that everything is not over yet?!" Yu Gonglian couldn't believe the guess in her heart.

In the past, Ren Amamiya didn't lose his memory because of an accident because he had achieved the perfect world. He hadn't completed the world in his heart at all!

Because everything is not over yet, new power is needed, so it is necessary to integrate into the new world.

Only in this way can it explain the fact that the ninth reincarnation still has a new world integrated into it.

"Isn't this world still the finished product I'm after?!" Yu Gonglian felt a little unbelievable.

What is there to be dissatisfied with in this world today?

Hearing this, Yasen grinned and showed a big smile.

"You finally found out."

"For the past 50 years, I have been thinking about why I appeared. I have lost most of my memory, but I still remember my purpose, remember where our lost memories are, and remember the knowledge that can easily penetrate this world. "Yasen said to Yu Gonglian with a wanton smile on his face. "Why do I only remember these things? I didn't realize why I appeared until I discovered people from the new world in recent years."

"I think my existence is the guide you left for yourself before you lost your memory."

"...What you say is like saying, I used to know that I would lose my memory..." Umiya Ren supported her head with her hand, feeling more and more headache up.

Speaking of this, Yasen suddenly said in a seductive tone with words in his words.

"Although this is just my guess, I might as well share it with you."

"Memory exists in people's hearts. It should be a formless thing, but it can be turned into a real thing and packed in a box. Don't you feel familiar with this phenomenon?"
