The Crucifixion Cross

weird...

Su Fei sipped Xiao's blended coffee, and secretly looked at the girl beside her from the corner of her eye.

Compared with other people in this small group, Xiao, who is the core figure, is too ordinary.

She is not like Ryuji Sakamoto with exaggerated blonde hair, exuding a thorn-like breath all over her body, nor is she chasing fashion trends like Anko Takamaki, who dresses herself youthfully and beautifully, and she is not like Yusuke Kitagawa, with every gesture There is a strong sense of literature and art in the room, and even Asuna is more "uncommon" than her-although the industry of forming a family is not even a scum in Su Fei's eyes, but this is because The height of the Mishima family is ridiculously high. In the eyes of ordinary people, Asuna is still the "upper class" from a wealthy family.

Lai Qixiao is the most "ordinary" existence in this small group that reveals "unordinary" everywhere.

However, the trait in her that can involuntarily make others believe in and get close to her makes the seemingly ordinary her the most extraordinary person in this group.

Su Fei who was thinking this way didn't realize that while his attention was being attracted by Lai Qixiao, Lai Qixiao's eyes also fell on him.

After handing the coffee to Su Fei, Lai Qixiao did not return to her small group, but sat directly beside Su Fei.

"Bai Yu-kun feels very strange." Because he is not a student at the same school, Akatsuki did not use the title of 'Classmate (Sang)', but 'Jun (Kun)', which made the relationship between the two of them difficult. The degree of intimacy has increased slightly, "I just met today, but I always feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy. I can't help but want to get closer to Mr. Baiyu... Hey, Mr. Baiyu, do you also feel this way?"

Putting it on ordinary people, they will definitely regard Akatsuki as an indiscreet girl, and 'misunderstand' her words as flirting with men—in fact, there is something wrong with the eyes of Mei and Asuna, but it is not so obvious ...Probably, it's because they didn't think Xiao would have a crush on Su Fei just because of these few words?

However, Su Fei is not a member of "ordinary people", he actually agrees with Xiao's statement.

But, in front of Mei and Asuna, Akatsuki said, "Yes, that's right, when I saw you, I felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy!" 'What, it's so stupid...

Even if Su Fei wanted to nod a hundred heads to agree with Xiao, he could only keep his nose silent and said against his will, "Really? That's really an honor..."

Hearing Su Fei's reply, Xiao didn't show a disappointed expression, but nodded thoughtfully: "I see..."

Su Fei didn't know what Xiao's "this" was exactly, he just felt... this woman was very dangerous.

Of course, the 'danger' here is not in the sense of life, but some kind of fatal...attraction.

That's right, attraction, that's the only word Su Fei can use to describe the wonderful feeling emanating from Xiao's body.

I didn't feel it just now, but when Xiao sat next to her, Su Fei's gaze stayed on her uncontrollably, her eyes could hardly accommodate anyone or anything—this whole "you are me" The whole world' feeling, it's almost like falling in love...

However, Su Fei's heartbeat didn't fluctuate at all because of Xiao's existence, which was completely different from the situation when he was with Mei, Asuna and Kiyana.

The current Su Fei is not the emotional idiot he was in his previous life. The experience of the past month or so made him clearly realize that his affection for Akatsuki is at most limited to the level of "pretty girls". Li Mei, Asuna There is still a thousand miles away from Qiyana, and even the beauty in OL costumes is far inferior, but why...

What is going on with this wonderful sense of intimacy that makes one involuntarily want to get closer...

Su Fei, who was immersed in thinking, frowned slightly.

Doubts about this irresistible sense of intimacy made him naturally ignore the existence of the "people" in the coffee shop (including Shinjima Shinjima who hid immediately after hearing the name of "White Feather") - that It's a cat in the corner.

As far as the first impression is concerned, this cat is as inconspicuous as Lai Qixiao, but if you look closely, you will find that the blue vertical pupils of this cat do not have a trace of flexibility and vividness, it is almost like some kind of mechanical Same……

It curled up quietly in the corner of the attic, and the figures of Su Fei and Xiao were clearly reflected in those inorganic blue vertical pupils.

Chapter 41. Persona

Although interested in the strange attractiveness of the girl, Su Fei and Mei didn't stay in LeBlanc for too long - LeBlanc is here, it won't disappear suddenly, but there is a regular bus from Takato to Chiba for a day But there is only this one trip (as a reminder, Takato and Shengxiang are both in Narumi City, and Chiha is in Nagasra City).

Even if the two are willing to delay time for some unexplainable reason, there are other people in LeBlanc...

Not everyone is born with a wonderful sense of affinity like Lai Qixiao, which makes people want to get close to her involuntarily, and not everyone has the stupid attribute like Ryuji Sakamoto, who can easily get along with others.

Su Fei could tell that although the atmosphere at their table was okay (Mei & Asuna: haha), Kitagawa Yusuke and Takamaki Xing who were sitting at the other table were not very relaxed, only the idiot Ryuji was still very relaxed Active look.

In daily life, Kitagawa Yusuke and Takamaki Xing are of course not shy of strangers, but the atmosphere at the other table One on One is too strong, and these two are the kind with more delicate and sensitive thoughts, even if there is an idiot Ryuji around Unconsciously, the heated atmosphere made the two of them somewhat restrained.

Su Fei is not an uninterested person, after discovering this, he quickly offered to leave - after hearing his words, the two people at the other table breathed a sigh of relief.

Before parting, Su Fei and Xiao exchanged phone numbers—only after taking out their phones did they realize that their phones were black and white couple models...

By the way, in fact, all the girls around Su Fei (including Mishima Kazumi and OL beauty) are using this phone, but the colors are different, so strictly speaking, Su Fei and many of them are lovers However, among all the people, Xiao who chose black and Su Fei who chose white have the strongest sense of CP.

This small coincidence made the two people's eyes stay on each other for a little longer.

When the figures of Su Fei and Mei disappeared at the intersection on the street, Takamaki Xing and Kitagawa Yusuke breathed a sigh of relief with a very high synchronization rate.

"Huh? What's the matter, Xing? Why does he look relieved?" Ryuji Sakamoto scratched his head and asked in confusion.

"I'm glad you know the word 'relieved', but it's a pity that Ryuji is still Ryuji..." Takamaki Xing sighed, and turned her gaze to Kitagawa Yusuke beside her, "Hey, Yusuke should feel it too ? The sense of oppression coming from that person..."

Gao Juanxing clutched his chest, his face pale.

She and Kitagawa Yusuke hadn't talked much before, apart from the restraint they should have when facing strangers, it was more because of the oppressive feeling from Su Fei.

"Well," Kitagawa Yusuke nodded heavily, "That strong sense of oppression is almost as if the 'other self' in the body may be crushed by some inexplicable thing anytime and anywhere..."

Saying that, Kitagawa Yusuke suddenly shivered, and said with some fear and some gratitude:

"Although this is enough to become a new creative inspiration, I really don't want to experience the horror of wandering between life and death again... Long Si will not notice it, probably because... his nerves are thick ?”

"It's really that scary?" Ryuji Sakamoto didn't care about the 'nervous' Yusuke Kitagawa said, just scratched his hair in a daze, "'Another self in the body'...Yusuke, you are talking about Per... ..."

"Hush!!" Before Ryuji Sakamoto could finish the word, Anko Takamaki leaned forward with a nervous face, and tightly covered Ryuji Sakamoto's mouth.

At the same time, Kitagawa Yusuke also tacitly stepped forward and pulled Ryuji Sakamoto back into the coffee shop.

Finally, Asuna gently closed the shop door.

Ryuji Sakamoto, who knew he had made a slip of the tongue, didn't struggle, but after returning to the store, he still looked puzzled:

"So, what's going on?" While speaking, Ryuji turned his gaze to Takamaki Xing and Kitagawa Yusuke: "Xing, do you and Yusuke mean that that person can actually make the Persona in our body feel that person?" A death threat?"

Ryuji's voice was full of inconceivability, even the eyes that Xing and Yusuke looked at him were gradually changing to the usual eyes that Xing and Yusuke looked at him-this is a mouthful, but it is also very vivid (laughs)

But it's no wonder, who made Xing and Yusuke's words so unbelievable?

Persona - or, 'persona mask', this is the mysterious power that the young people in this small group have acquired after 'some event of their own'.

To describe it specifically, it is probably like "the other side of me has acquired a physical body in the real world, and has very powerful power" or something like that

Of course, in addition to "the other self with the entity", the more important thing is that the existence named Persona brought them the power to freely shuttle between reality and the "Palace of Heart" - the magic palace.

With the help of this power, the small group with Xiao at the core has experienced many incidents beyond common sense in the past month, and has also rescued many people in deep trouble during the incidents.

Ryuji, Xing, Yusuke, Asuna, and Zhen who hid immediately after hearing Su Fei's voice, all have the dual identities of "the rescued" and "savior".

In the magic palace, they used the power of Persona to defeat many enemies that were difficult to defeat in the real world. Although they all ended in victory, Persona was often knocked down during the battle.

At the very beginning, the boys and girls thought that because of Persona's particularity, "If Persona is knocked down, will we in the real world also be...!?" ? 'Such a panic, but it turns out that even if they are smashed into pieces, as long as they are the 'contractors' of Persona, it is not difficult to summon Persona again.

In other words, Persona does not have the concept of 'death'.

This is the consensus of all members of the "Phantom Thieves of Heart" after more than a month of adventures, but now, Xing and Yusuke told Ryuji straightforwardly that when facing the boy named Baiyu Sufei, there was a Persona on the 'inside' felt the fear of imminent death——

For Ryuji who took "Persona will not die" as common sense, this is unimaginable.

However, when he turned his suspicious eyes to Xing and Yusuke, the heavy eyes of those two told Ryuji that they were not joking.

"Why...!?" Ryuji asked involuntarily.

It wasn't Xing and Ryuji who answered him with solemn faces, but Makoto Niijima who finally appeared from the attic.

"Probably because his name is 'Bai Yu Su Fei'?"

Really said slowly:

"Do you remember? Shengxiang's student council president I told you about before, that monster-like woman... If I remember correctly, Bai Yu Su Fei, that's the name of President Su Fang's younger brother."

Hua Ling’s words: Well, the setting of Persona is definitely different from that of the game. After all, Igor and his gang’s origins are too fascinating... Here we just use the story of P5 as the access point of the plot of Changkong City.

By the way, the rumor of A Song of Ice and Fire is also one of the access points for the plot of Changkong City, because I have to find a suitable reason for Cocolia to act, otherwise why Cocolia would have taken a fancy to Mei and wanted to make Mei What about becoming the Herrscher of Thunder?

Chapter 42. 'Prisoner' Bai Yu Su Fang

"monster?"

Asuna frowned, her tone was a little serious: "Student Niijima, isn't your statement a bit rude?"

She and Su Fei are childhood sweethearts, so they are naturally very familiar with Su Fang.

In fact, the relationship between the two has always been very good, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are "close friends in the boudoir".

If it weren't for this, Su Fang wouldn't have called Su Fei to explain what happened to Hina after Su Fei sneaked off to Vienna.

After all, in Su Fang's eyes, Asuna is the most suitable person to be a "sibling"...

The relationship between the two is very good, and Asuna is of course not happy to hear that Zhen actually called Su Fang a 'monster'.

"I'm sorry," Zhen apologized with a wry smile, but the fear hidden in her eyes did not change a bit, "But, that woman, to us—to Shengxiang's students, is indeed' A monster'like existence..." She

"What exactly does this mean?" Asuna frowned and said, she had already noticed something from the real performance, but... how could that gentle and gentle girl be the "monster" in the real mouth Woolen cloth?

"It's natural to have such doubts, right? After all, you are not a student of Shengxiang when you become a classmate," Zhen smiled wryly, "Perhaps in your eyes, Bai Yu Su Fang and Bai Yu Su Fei are both gentle and kind neighbors." Jia Qingmei, but if you think about it carefully, how could Shengxiang's student council president really be a harmless and innocent girl?"

Looking at Asuna who was slightly taken aback, Zhen pursed her lips and said word by word:

"You know, that's Shengxiang's student council president—Shengxiang's!"

On the word 'Shengxiang', I really added the accent on purpose.

Among the three colleges in the Far East—Shengxiang, Qianyu and Gaoteng, the one with the worst 'atmosphere' is undoubtedly Gaoteng, who is controlled by the government and pursues an absolute 'elite policy'.

Gao Teng's students simply regard the college as a battlefield for political struggle. Rather than going to school in Gao Teng, they are showing their talents to the fullest on the stage of the college, and when they are fledgling, they will spare no effort to defeat the future may become an enemy.

Secondly, it is Qian Yu who has the largest number of "children from poor families".

Qianyu's students are really no different from ordinary high school students except that their academic ability is mostly in a mess, or they have their own specialties in other aspects. Except for some "chosen ones", most of Qianyu's students' campus life is very different. Calmness, intrigue and trickery have little to do with them.

Shengxiang has the best 'atmosphere' in the school - it's incredible, right?Mingming Shengxiang's students are all from the legendary "noble family". Every student's background can scare people to death, and stomping their feet casually can make a certain field tremble. But as such a group of terrifying guys, Shengxiang The gathering place is far more peaceful than the other two schools...

Don't talk about conspiracies or political struggles. No matter how these guys with exaggerated backgrounds make troubles outside the school, once they enter the school, they all become good babies. They wish they could have happy and joyful smiles on their faces 24 hours a day. All of them are very good.

The reason why this happened is because of the existence of the student council president Bai Yu Su Fang.

A seemingly feeble young girl was able to subdue the entire Shengxiang students by herself, without even seeing a wave of resistance...

Such a terrifying existence, what else could it be if it wasn't a monster?

Makoto Niijima was terrified by this.

"It's really that scary?" Thinking of those enemies who had gone through untold hardships and were barely defeated, Long Si swallowed, and asked tentatively: "You don't use this term to describe human beings at all? You say it is a prehistoric giant. The beast is almost..."

Before Ryuji finished speaking, Asuna cast a sharp look like a sword drawn from its sheath.

"Sakamoto-san!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Facing Asuna with a serious expression, Ryuji hurriedly clasped his hands together and apologized repeatedly.

However, after apologizing several times for his slip of the tongue, Ryuji couldn't help but say:

"But, is that person named Baiyu Sufang really that scary?" He turned his gaze to Zhenhe Asuna, and asked in puzzlement: "The overlord at the end of the century thought Baiyu Sufang was a monster, but he became a classmate and said Baiyu Sufang was kind." Dear sister next door...why is there such a difference?"

"A question worth thinking about!" Yusuke snapped his fingers, and a fanatical smile that only belonged to an artist gradually appeared on his face, "In the eyes of classmates, the gentle and kind girl next door, in the eyes of Shengxiang students Her Majesty the Queen who reigns over the campus with an absolutely terrifying posture... Black and white, light and shadow! Such a strong contrast is perfectly unified in a weak girl... Ahhhh! The fire of inspiration is already raging burn up..."

"Cut."

Before Yusuke completely burned, Akatsuki, who hadn't spoken much before, knocked off Yusuke's burning core with a sharp hand knife, making a soft 'bang' sound.

"Hum—!"

Akatsuki didn't seem to use any strength, but Yusuke was knocked into Phaes II by this hand knife, and directly entered a defensive stance with his head in his arms.

"Are you knocking on wood!" Long Si couldn't help complaining—then he was rewarded with the same crisp hand knife, so the number of people crouching with their heads in their arms multiplied by two.

"It hurts!"

Long Si bared his teeth and yelled.

"Hmm... This hand sword is really sharp... worth learning... Hey, did you hear Goemon? You have to be able to cut such a sharp sword!"

Yusuke muttered softly.

Facing the aggrieved eyes of the two, Xiao pushed the black-rimmed glasses and said softly:

"Since you are so curious, then go and see for yourself."

"Personally?" Xing was taken aback.

"Go and see?" Zhen subconsciously took a step back.

"Shengxiang..." Asuna nodded thoughtfully, a look of anticipation suddenly flashed in her eyes.

"Yes, go and see for yourself—"

The focus of everyone's eyes, the girl named Lai Qixiao nodded slightly—at this moment, Xiao, who had been silent until now, finally showed some demeanor that a team leader should have.

"Although it is different from guys like Kamoshida Taku, Madarame Ryusai, and Jincheng Junya, since Persona has issued a warning, and the 'Phantom Thief Channel' has also received a related 'commission', then it is definitely right to go to Shengxiang personally— ——Whether the "prisoner" is Bai Yu Su Fang or someone else, we should always confirm it with our own eyes, right? As for whether to use "love" to influence after this, or directly knock it down, let's leave it to us tomorrow to think about it .”
