Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 4 The Velvet Bar is Open
The attic of Polo Café is still in better condition than that of Lublan.

Tang Ze who packed up his things was very happy.

The area is not big and there are no windows, but at least there is a decent bed and an independent bathroom. These two points alone are enough for him.

Facts, the bed that the main character of p5 sleeps on is made of several plastic baskets for drinks and a wooden plank.

The original things were packed into three cardboard boxes and sent to the cafe first. In addition to the replacement Didan high school uniform, there were also three or four sets of clothes for each season, shoes, home clothes, some stationery, and then there was nothing else.

... so weird.Is the original body a vacuum person without any personal hobbies or personal belongings?Don't have any personal items that reflect your past life?
Think about his brand-new mobile phone from the factory.

Don't let people confiscate all the original things, right?

Not to mention, there is a great possibility that Bourbon is here, maybe all of Tang Zezhao's electronic equipment, books and papers have been taken away.

Thinking of this, Tang Ze opened the commuter bag and took out the notebook inside.

Sure enough, a blank new notebook.

Tang Ze sighed, and threw it back into the bag, it was very good, perfect, no matter who did it, the professional ability is outstanding, and it was cleaned up.

Forget it, his long year of life is about to begin, and he is not in a hurry.

So hungry, he didn't eat lunch or dinner.There is a kitchen downstairs, but it's not good to just use the ingredients from the cafe, at least you have to say hello first, right?
Neither did he...

Oh no, he has it!
Thinking of this, Tang Ze sat up straight.Yes, do you want to try your own four-dimensional pocket?

In order to prevent the overly cautious Bourbon from installing surveillance equipment in the attic, Tang Ze first pretended to reach into the bag and grope.

Then he flipped through the long list of props and chose the cheapest rice ball.

In the next second, his right hand grasped the cold plastic package.

...It's really okay, there is something.

Tang Ze held up the cold rice ball to his eyes, squeezed it, it was flexible and elastic, it was indeed a solid rice ball.

But is this kind of food that has no shelf life really edible?To tell you the truth, he still has Lublanc's super spicy curry that has been hoarded for two years according to the game's plot time. He made it in Zhoumu. Let alone eating it in reality, he hesitated to eat it in the game.

Touching his throbbing stomach, Tang Ze still opened the package, closed his eyes, and bit down.

There is no strange taste, the rice grains are sweet and full, and it is delicious.

Tang Ze quickly showed off one, looked down at the size of the commuter bag, and felt that it was reasonable to hide another rice ball, so he showed off another one.

It's very powerful, try to see if you can put things in it later, if you can enter and exit freely, then he is already half invincible, already, there is nothing to be afraid of!
Four-dimensional pocket, yyds.

As soon as his nerves relaxed, exhaustion overwhelmed him, and the mental stress brought about by a day full of information explosion was really indescribable.

After digging out the home clothes, Tang Ze slowly moved towards the bathroom.

He's very tired, it's time to go to bed.

----

Blue, endless blue spread out in front of my eyes.

The crisp sound of wind chimes hitting and the sound of doors opening and closing came one after another. Tang Ze opened his eyes and found himself standing in front of the dimly lit bar.

The dark blue checkerboard floor tiles, the blue rhombus-patterned wall, and the bar counter covered with Klein blue tablecloth reflected by a few spotlights all represent the same thing...

"Welcome to the velvet room, this guest." The bartender standing behind the bar turned around, took a goblet from the cup holder, and made a gesture of invitation to Tang Ze.

"The bar, ha..." Tang Ze raised his eyebrows with a strange expression, but he still picked a high chair and sat down, "Is my velvet room actually a bar? I've stopped drinking a long time ago."

"Excellent sarcasm, right?" The blond-haired, gold-eyed bartender leaned casually against the bar, throwing up his arms.

Tang Ze looked at the other party, from the blue jazz hat to the blue bow tie and vest.

He was handsome, with blond hair combed into a docile back. Although he had a soft Asian face, his thin facial features were highlighted.This makes him look more mature. If you want to guess his age, most people would say he is 27 or [-] years old. His temperament matches the retro bar background quite well.

but……

"No matter what, it's not appropriate to let minors into bars." Tang Ze poked You Qi's delicate face in front of the other party.

"It's not counted as I said, guest. The velvet room is a reflection of the heart of the guests. Ordinary minors will not reflect the bar." The bartender laughed. He lifted the brim of his hat and bowed slightly to Tang Ze formally, " My name is Leon, and I am your assistant."

Here we come, it's time to go through the process and install it.

Tang Ze blinked quickly: "So, do you want to read those lines?"

"What kind of line, 'This is the gap between dream and reality, spirit and matter' or something like that? You know everything, so there is no need to waste time." It didn't satisfy Tang Ze's obsession with the script. , Leon shook his head slightly, and pushed the goblet in front of him with his backhand.

"Ah, so you do know everything, including 'manga', 'game', 'time-travel' and so on." Tang Ze tapped his empty wine glass, his tone not too surprised.

From Leon's answer just now, it can be seen that he understood Tang Ze's voice-over, which also means that he knows Tang Ze's real life experience.

Leon nodded, and admitted straightforwardly: "That's right. I will know what you can know."

Tang Ze heaved a sigh of relief, accepted this setting easily, and even felt lucky.

You must know that the basic setting of the Persona series of games is partly born out of Jungian psychology, which has a strong mysticism and cult color. Most of the characters who know the truth of the world view are in the style of a secret keeper, highlighting a person who does not speak human words.

He chose a more relaxed posture, rested his head on his raised palm and let out a long breath: "Huh—that's good, it's too torture to listen to riddlers tell riddles in a dream. Now that you fully understand, Then let's be honest. Is there no Igor here? Is it because the world is so weird?"

Igor, as the owner of the velvet room who has appeared in several works in the series, is an image of an old man with white hair and a long nose. According to the setting, he is a puppet created by the incarnation of human rationality, playing a role similar to "guiding the protagonist". The image of the "wise man" connects the scenes and talks about riddles.

In P5, his image still has a certain key factor in the plot. Without this character, it can be asserted that the world Tang Ze lives in and the plot of P5 are completely deviated.

Lyon spread his hands and made an innocent expression: "I don't know very well, it should be because of this? But it doesn't matter, anyway, we are all destined to be 'non-staff personnel' now."

As soon as the words "non-staff personnel" came out, Tang Ze's face darkened immediately.

"You don't have to mock me like that."

"I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional." Leon's smile didn't show "it wasn't intentional" at all, he just shrugged his shoulders again, with a casual look, "Don't worry, it's all about 'last life'."

"Don't say it's like I've been wearing it for a long time. Yesterday I was still doing a happy death house at home. Once I close and open my eyes, it becomes the 'last life'." Speaking of this, Tang Ze remembered the game he hadn't finished playing. , and there are still unfinished graphic novels, I can't help covering my chest and feeling sad, "I haven't played Seda 2 yet!"

He used to have no worries about food and clothing, he could live a life of salted fish in retirement, and fast forward to life and graduate overnight, who would have thought that?
"But you're actually quite happy, aren't you?" Leon chose not to cooperate with Tang Ze's pretended wailing, and directly exposed his true thoughts.

Tang Ze's face froze, he coughed twice in embarrassment, put down his hands and returned to a lazy sitting position: "...how can you know so thoroughly?"

really.Sudden time travel is a natural disaster for many people who live a stable life and do not want to find excitement, but for Tang Ze...

An unchanging pool of stagnant water, the future of the tomb can be seen at a glance.His letting nature take its course is just accepting his fate, not liking mediocrity.

While thinking this way, Tang Ze subconsciously stroked his knees which were intact and had smooth curves.

"I am your assistant, your mirror, and your companion and accomplice." Leon raised his hat to greet him, and then gestured to the empty glass in front of Tang Ze, "Now is the bar's business hours. Would you like a drink?"

"So, it's been said that I won't drink anymore..."

"I understand, so do you want it?"

"Cough, yes."

Not surprised by Tang Ze's genuine behavior, Leon took out a bottle of wine.

The reddish amber liquor was poured into Tang Ze's glass. He leaned closer to smell the wine exuding a mellow grain aroma, and raised his eyebrows again: "Is this bourbon? Are you implying something?"

"It's not a hint." Leon turned sideways and gave way to the wine cabinet on the back wall of the bar, which is now very empty, only the first row of different brands of bourbon whiskey, high and short, "We only have this now. "

"Because I met 'Bourbon'? Such a simple and rude reason?" Tang Ze was speechless, but he picked up his glass and took a sip.

The luscious and sweet smell and the long-lost alcohol made him narrow his eyes, and he couldn't control the corners of his mouth.

"It's too bad, it's not easy to quit drinking. If I become addicted to alcohol, I can't even buy beer. I'm still underage." Tang Ze took another sip happily, and muttered complainingly murmuring.

"Don't worry, it won't affect the state of reality, so just treat it as a bonus Easter egg, right?"

"The nature of the reward? Encourage me to contact people from the Black Organization, in order to drink more wine?" Tang Ze gave a "tsk" in disapproval, "Isn't it a bit condescending?"

"It's just an easter egg, just treat it as a collection achievement." Leon naturally knew how to please Tang Ze, and he was soothed with one sentence.

Tang Ze, a platinum player with all trophies and achievements, immediately felt respected, and he didn't care about this weird room function, and started to ask core questions: "Okay, so what is my mission? I also want to understand the world and fight , to prevent the fusion of the cognitive world and the physical world?"

P5 Tang Ze understands it, and so does Conan Tang Ze, if he sews it together, he won't be able to fix it.

The world view of P5 is supernatural. Although it is supernatural at the psychological level, it is equivalent to concretizing human cognition into the inner world. People with the ability to influence the cognitive world can naturally affect the real world in turn, which has a strong symbolic meaning. , but that too is supernatural.

The logic of the main line of P5 at the world view level is actually to find out the relationship between cognition and reality, and then make a choice at the end, and save the world by facing the truth fearlessly.

As for Conan, although Newton's coffin board is completely lifted here, he kicked the satellite and punched Superman, but the comic will still stubbornly pretend to be materialistic, and it is a reasoning comic in an authentic style.

Its main line is the spy drama and the gangster drama. The main scenes are the battle of wits and courage between the red and the black. Push the protagonist to learn about the Black Organization and defeat it.

What will the combination of the two produce?

Just weird.

Lyon shook his head and denied Tang Ze's thoughts, and gave the first answer that shocked him tonight.

"That's not necessary. In this world, they have long been fused together."
