Everyone else is a Phantom Thief? You awakened the three mythical gods?

[A doctor who saves lives? Or a plague god who brings disasters?

With your ambitions obscured, are you going to remain silent any longer?

Didn’t we agree long ago that we would keep going?

How can we stop here!

I am you, and you are me...

Come on! Let's make a contract! 】

A snake-shaped mask appeared on Takemi's face, and it was enveloped by a soaring blue flame.

Wu Jianmiao tore off his mask in pain!

A beautiful woman walked out from the column of fire. She had neat short hair and wore a robe with the left half white and the right half dark green. She held a snake-coated scepter in her left hand and a snake was coiled in a bowl-shaped medicine bowl in her right hand.

Wu Jianmiao's original punk clothes have also changed. The whole body of clothes has turned into a black and green one-piece tights. A snake pattern spreads from the neck, down along the chest, and ends at the waist, forming a black snakeskin belt, which perfectly sets off Wu Jianmiao's figure. The lower body is wearing black high-heeled boots.

At this moment, Wu Jianmiao looked like a poisonous snake, but she did not have that frightening aura. On the contrary, the woman behind her exuded a healing wave that soothed everyone's hearts.

"I heard [Axl]!"

Everyone looked at Wu Jianmiao, whose style changed drastically. Although it was a bit creepy to see so many snakes, he still felt relieved as a teammate.

"Hmph! You're just a mere ant, and you're talking nonsense here." Bai Chengsong snorted coldly.

The entire imperial palace began to tremble, the crossbows on the observation decks on both sides began to charge, and the Shadow Guards also rushed here, followed by countless zombies.

"Go! No one is allowed to retreat even a single step, otherwise you will be sent to the hunting ground like those students!" Bai Chengsongxin gave the order immediately.

Just as Ivan was about to attack, he used his ultimate skill and wiped out the entire team.

Wu Jianmiao turned around and smiled softly: "Let me do it! I want to do it myself!"

Wu Jianmiao turned his head and took a light step forward, and the sound of his black high-heeled boots touching the ground was heard.

[Axo] also gently tapped the snake-coiled scepter in his hand.

A huge green magic circle appeared under the feet of the Phantom Thieves, and countless life energies poured out from it, forming a barrier. The walking dead that followed one after another were directly vaporized when they touched the magic circle and disappeared into thin air.

"Great! So strong! There's no way they can get in!" Long Si sighed as he watched the shadows disappearing.

As the shadow disappeared, a huge, hazy snake shadow began to appear behind [Axo], and the shadow seemed to be replenishing energy for the snake shadow.

Alvin looked at the snake shadow and felt as if he saw Oliha Gang - [Snake God Ge]... This charging method is a bit like Alvin's sacrifice.

The snake shadow roared and rushed directly towards Bai Chengsongxin. Bai Chengsongxin had no choice but to abandon his horse and flee, looking very embarrassed as he had thrown away his armor and weapons.

The snake shadow crashed straight into the gate of the Imperial Palace Outer Garden, knocking a big hole in the gate. Then it turned into particles and dissipated.

Wu Jianmiao also felt as if he had lost strength and almost collapsed to the ground.

Ivan picked up Wu Jianmiao from behind and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to us!"

Xing felt a little jealous when she saw this, but she knew that now was not the time to talk about this. She would not give up no matter what! Thinking this in her heart, Xing opened fire at full power, like a mobile turret, and attacked Shadow crazily.

The defeat was like a landslide. Without Bai Chengsongxin's command and suppression, these shadows and zombies were no match for the Phantom Thieves.

There is the Snake God in front and the Fire God behind. Even Shadow is a little afraid. There are also foxes, cats and so on. I wonder how terrifying they are!

Ivan held Wu Jianmiao in his arms and ran out of the broken courtyard gate under the cover of the Phantom Thieves.

The group eventually disappeared at the other end of the bridge.

"It seems different? What has changed?"

"How strange!"

......

In the RV...

"Well... there are students here. Can you let me go first? I feel much better!" Wu Jianmiao was rarely shy. So many people were watching Ivan hugging her.

Alvin gently placed Wu Jianmiao on the sofa, but the touch of her tights and black stockings remained in his mind.

He shook his head gently to shake these thoughts away.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling a little uncomfortable? I don't think I'm that heavy!" Wu Jianmiao frowned again and looked at Ivan.

"No, no!" Alvin shook his head like a rattle.

"So you're thinking about something weird?" Wu Jianmiao smiled subtly.

Looking directly into her own heart made her feel that she had regained the direction of her life, and her mood became much better.

"Um, you two...why don't you do a summary of today's operations? We are all very curious about Dr. Takemi's mask!" Morgana said helplessly.

Kara heard the noise in the car and brought up many bags, all of which were food and drinks.

"Everyone has worked hard. If we want to have a combat meeting, how about we eat and talk at the same time? I purchased these on Central Street!" Kara said to everyone.

"Wow, Sister Kara is so nice! I also want to have a sister like her!" Long Si almost burst into tears and took a big bite of the chicken steak!

"Oh! This is my favorite drink, it's awesome!"

"Where did you buy this sushi that looks like a work of art? Oh, I can't bear to eat it!"

"Yusuke, if you don't eat, I'll start eating!" Ryuji's chopsticks were slowly reaching out.

Taking advantage of the meal time, Ivan introduced Wu Jianmiao to everyone, as well as the members of the Phantom Thieves and some information about the personality masks. As for Wu Jianmiao's own personality mask, she explained it herself.

"Ivan has already introduced the general situation... My awakened personality mask is [Axo] - health, hygiene, safety, treatment, recovery; goddess."

"Yes... yes? It's the goddess!" Long Si almost choked.

"What's so shocking? Isn't Ivan's mask also a god's?" Yusuke also had some knowledge of mythology.

"Oh? You know Kitagawa-san? Why don't you explain it to me?" Takemiya looked at Yusuke and asked.

Yusuke also began to recall: "Well... your two pantheons should be different, but they are both gods. The pantheon that Ivan's mask belongs to should be ancient Egypt. Although I have heard of the names, I have never heard of Sky Dragon and Giant God Soldier."

"Dr. Takemi should be the daughter of Asclepius in ancient Greek mythology - Axolo!"

"What does this As...ke...do?" Long Si was confused by such a long string of names.

"He is the god of medicine in ancient Greece. In addition to the divine duties that Dr. Takemi just mentioned, Axo also represents the god of medicine! Ryuji should read more books..." Yusuke explained for Ryuji again.

"Wow! It's the God of Medicine. It's exactly the same as my current job! The pharmacist of the Phantom Thieves!" Morgana seemed very excited.

Yusuke continued, "The scepter should be the Rod of Asclepius, which represents [medicine], and the bowl should be the Bowl of Axol, which represents [pharmacology]. There are two theories as to why the snake is associated with it. To put it simply, the snake plays the role of resurrection in this myth."

"The first is the blood of the snake-haired monster Gorgon. It is said to be a deadly poison, but if obtained in another way, it can be a magical medicine that can bring the dead back to life. The second is that a snake was wrapped around the staff of Asclepius. After Asclepius killed it, another snake came up with a herb in its mouth, which actually resurrected the dead snake."

"The origin of Axo's bowl is very simple. It is simply that Axo used a bowl-shaped bowl to feed a long snake. However, people distinguished the two into medicine and pharmacy. This is what I know!"

"You're so awesome, Yusuke! How come you know so much?" Ivan couldn't help but praise him.

In fact, many of Zhou K'er's masks in the game also come from various gods, but Ivan basically only looks at the appearance and doesn't remember the names. Except for the tens of thousands of mantras of Narukami Yuu, he only remembers Izanagi, but has almost forgotten the others.

"Art students are more exposed to knowledge about ancient Greece and ancient Egypt, and I have previously studied the differences between the double-coiled caduceus and the single-coiled caduceus. So I know more about it," Yusuke explained.

"Okay, it's getting late. Let's disband for today. Why don't we hold Wu Jianmiao's welcome party after this incident is resolved? What do you think?" Alvin said to everyone, and finally asked Wu Jianmiao's opinion.

"Of course! I'll be thankful to trouble you when the time comes! Please give me your guidance later!"

......

"You haven't woken up yet?" Ivan asked.

"Well...but her physical condition is good. With your blood, her condition should not deteriorate. I don't know why she didn't wake up." Wu Jianmiao explained, then touched her forehead with his hand.

A strange feeling came.

"Her soul seems to be imprisoned in that imperial palace!"

"Huh? What do you mean? Are you saying that the reason Zhao Zhi didn't wake up is because his soul was imprisoned in the imperial palace? How could this be possible?" Alvin was also a little surprised. He had never heard of such a situation before.

"Tomorrow! Go rescue her! Don't let her be trapped in there!" Wu Jianmiao said to Ivan.

"Okay! In addition to stealing the secret treasure, we also have to take back Xiaozhi's heart!" Alvin promised Wu Jianmiao.

It was getting late, and Alvin was ready to go home and rest, so Wu Jianmiao slept directly in the community hospital.

The two were about to say goodbye at the door of the hospital waiting room.

"Thank you for what happened today, and... I'm sorry. I acted on my own initiative and caused you a lot of trouble... On Wednesday, you wanted to ask me out to relax, but not only did I break the date, but I also caused you so much trouble. Today, I even chased after you. I'm sorry." Wu Jianmiao lowered his head.

"It's okay, no need to apologize. We are friends, aren't we? You have helped me so much, I am willing to help you too! And I know that you came here because you had no other choice. No need to apologize. We have the power, and we also want to speak up for more people who have suffered injustice. In fact, many people are paying attention to Xiaozhi's affairs, and there are also commissions about her on the Phantom Thief Commission Channel. You don't have to blame yourself too much." Seeing that Wu Jianmiao was in a bad mood, Ivan comforted him.

"But I'm still very sorry. I was too willful. I should have told you directly, or in a softer way. I'm sorry. I feel like I failed to protect Xiaozhi..."

"The one who was wrong was Bai Chengsongxin, not you. Don't blame yourself. We will find out the situation tomorrow and rescue Xiaozhi! I don't mean to blame you, and you are not willful. I like your trust... and you are one of us now. As a doctor, you must continue to save the dying and the wounded, and help the world! Keep walking on the path you hope for! Don't give up!" Ivan grinned and looked at Wu Jianmiao.

Wu Jianmiao looked at the boy in front of her who was a few years younger than her, walked up to him, gently stood on tiptoe, and kissed the boy on the lips.

"When the incident is over, let's go out and relax together, okay?"

Ivan's mind was blank, and he didn't even care about the burning sensation on his back. He could only mechanically answer, "Okay, okay... okay, okay!"

And a card quietly appeared in his pocket.

This was the first time that Ivan had encountered this in his past and present lives, and Kara and him had not made any progress in that regard. They usually spent time together as a family.

Wu Jianmiao burst into laughter and said, "Looking at you like that, go back and have a rest. We still have a lot of things to do tomorrow!"

At the entrance of the community hospital, Wu Jianmiao watched Ivan's back gradually walking away, with a happy smile on his lips.
