Conan: The Phantom Thief of Hexue

“...... Looks like a test? Could it be the person from the organizer of the competition? From Zhong Litian's behavior and tone of voice, it was analyzed that he should not be malicious, Kiko's heart relaxed a little, and the action of tapping the keyboard became normal, no longer deliberately pressed into a silent state.

"The lady next to her is very simple, former well-known actor Yukiko Fujimine, who is now the wife of that detective novelist Yusaku Kudo, but your words..." It didn't take long for Kiko to raise his head and look at Zhong Litian in surprise.

"What's wrong with me?"

"It seems to be just an ordinary coffee shop owner, detective and psychiatrist, but except for the two days you have been in the United States, there is no trace of your previous life?" Are you sure it's not from an alien?

"You're the alien." Zhong Litian rolled his eyes, of course, although he was not an alien, it was impossible to say that he was a traverser, "Isn't it very common for you as a hacker to erase the traces of a person's life?"

"That's limited to a period of time at most, and I have never done a good job of erasing all traces of life in this information age." Kiko rolled his eyes back.

"Well, in fact, I only did it after learning hacking techniques, and my hands were idle and bored." Zhong Litian said casually.

Well, the small book to remember, I have to find a time to make up for the hacking technology, I just don't know when the next learning task will be brushed out?

"Formally acquaintance, my name is Zhong Litian, or you can also call my code name - X." Skipping this matter, Zhong Litian stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Kiko.

“X？！ Are you the guy who parachuted into the world detective rankings and stepped on the perennial No. 1 Q? Kiko, who got up to shake hands, widened his eyes.

"But Q wrote a battle in the community that he would soon catch up with you and regain the first throne." Kiko, who came back to his senses, immediately teased, "I estimate that your first place will fall off in a short time."

"It doesn't matter, I took this first, originally just to get the invitation to this competition to find you." Zhong Litian didn't care about this, anyway, the system task only said to rush to the first, and did not say to keep it.

And the rewards have already arrived, as long as there are no related tasks, he is estimated to not care about this leaderboard in the future.

"To find me?" Kiko blinked, a little happy in his heart, after all, young Muai, there is a young and handsome man who did this kind of big thing for himself that shocked the detective circle, she is a little girl in her early twenties, can't help but be a little proud and normal, right?

Of course, young to young, the hard power of being the fifth in the world also allowed her to quickly control her emotions.

"So you haven't said, why are you looking for me?"

"To invite you to join me." Zhong Litian changed to English as he spoke, and also said to Yukiko, who was confused because he couldn't understand the communication between the two, "And sister Yukiko."

"I sincerely invite two of you to join my team, the Heart Monster Bandits!"

"Heart..."

"Strange thief?"

Kiko and Yukiko looked at each other, and Zhong Litian walked to the window and closed the curtains, then turned to look at the two, "Two of you, next I will take you to witness a new world that has never been seen before!" Zhong

Litian raised his hand and waved the void, and a dark red crack tore open out of thin air, and quickly expanded out, instantly covering the vision of the two...

When they came back to their senses, the two were stunned to realize that they were no longer in the room, but in a strange and strange world.

Although there are still various normal living buildings around, there are more abnormal places, and the twisted and uneasy atmosphere is not mentioned, let's just say that those strange shapes on the street, the only thing in common is that they all wear masks, what is going on?

"Those are dark shadows, and here, it is the impression space formed by human cognition..." Zhong Litian put his hands in his pockets, stepped on the edge of the rooftop, and condescendingly scanned the pitch-black weirdos walking around downstairs.

Speaking of which, this is also the first time he has come to the cognitive world, and he has never found a suitable opportunity to come in and take a look before.

"Ah Tian, what the hell is this... Alas? What is your outfit?? Yukiko and Kiko had a hundred thousand reasons in their hearts why they wanted to ask, but when they saw Zhong Litian who turned around, they couldn't help but pause.

"Oh, this is exactly the costume of a strange thief." Zhong Litian shook the black trench coat on his body, and then pointed to the white dance mask on his face, "After awakening the personality mask, you will automatically change your clothes when you enter the world of cognition."

"As for the personality mask, you can understand it as a stand-in or a special ability like a spirit behind it, while the impression space and shadow are... There are also halls and secret treasures..." Without waiting for the two to continue to ask, Zhong Litian directly gave them a part of the relevant knowledge of understanding the world.

"You all know that I am a psychological counselor, but in fact, I am not studying existing psychology, but a completely new discipline - cognitive science."

"As the name suggests, this discipline is related to human cognition, and during my research, I stumbled upon this strange world and awakened the power of the personality mask."

Cough, anyway, the true founder of cognitive science is not in this world, and Zhong Litian cheekily took this credit for himself, and just happened to find a source of "scientific" for his ability.

"And the purpose of our Heart Monster Bandit Group is to break through the temple of desire of those bad people and make a covenant with them... Cough, it is to take its secret treasure and make it repent! "

Everything that should be explained has been explained, how about it, will you join me?" Zhong Litian slowly stretched out his hands to the two.

"Of course! Becoming a monster thief is such an exciting thing, how can I miss it! The two women, who were not even acquainted, looked at each other and smiled tacitly, and Yukiko decisively stretched out her palm and put it on Zhong Litian's right hand.

"The nature of hackers is to probe the hidden information in the world, the cognitive world of human hearts, is there a better place for me than here?" Kiko also carried the expectation of the mysterious future and reached out to put his hand on Zhong Litian's left palm.

"Welcome to the two beauties, then now, I will awaken the power of the personality mask for you!" Skipping the bond with Kiko and the good feeling of the two rising, Zhong Litian held the palms of the two women and showed a "friendly" smile, "By the way, the first time it hurts a little, you have to endure it~

" "Huh?!" Before the two could react, Zhong Litian had already completed the purchase of two personality masks in the system mall.

"Uh-huh-" A sudden sharp pain made Yukiko and Kiko can't help but cover their heads in pain and half kneel on the ground.

"I am Ru, Ru is I..."

"The contract... Concluded!

A mysterious voice sounded in the minds of the two, and the next moment, two pillars of light rose up into the sky, illuminating this gloomy impression space at once.
