Chapter 2447 Windfall

The next day, Ellie and Xijian Qinyin went out together.

For Ellie, it doesn't matter, anyway, as long as she goes out with pretty and cute girls, she can go anywhere.

But for Xijian Qinyin, it was very troublesome. This was the first time she went shopping alone with Ellie. Although she had made various plans before, as for Ellie's preferences... Xijian Qinyin I don't understand at all.

"Well... Miss Ellie, is there anything you want to buy?"

"No, I'd buy it myself if there was one."

"........."

That's right, although everyone is also a high school student, Ellie is a magician and the president of a large company. She has already achieved more than one small goal, and the financial resources of the two parties are fundamentally different.

"Then...then, is there any place Miss Ellie wants to go?"

"HOTEL."

"Hey?"

"It's nothing, it's still too early... What do you think?"

"Ah, then, how about we go to the art exhibition?"

"Art exhibition?"

"Well, recently there was an exhibition of Madarame Ichiryasai's paintings in an art gallery nearby. He is a famous Japanese painter."

"……………Ok."

Although Ellie doesn't have much interest in painting itself—of course, it would be a different matter if it was Eriri's comics, but considering that this is a date, it is natural to follow the woman's heart, so she also pointed nodded. And Xi Jian Qinyin was relieved, and then hurriedly took Ellie to the art museum.

"Very good! Then it's time for our Phantom Thieves to dispatch again! This time we must succeed!!"

However, when Ellie and Xijian Qinyin walked to the overpass, suddenly, a loud scream came from not far away. Hearing this sound, Ellie raised her eyebrows, and then grabbed Xijian Qinyin, Pulled her to hide in the corner.

"What's wrong? Miss Allie?"

"Hush."

Ellie made a gesture in a low voice, indicating that Xijian Qinyin should not speak for the time being, and then she looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw four young people standing there on the side of the overpass, coming from the surface Look, they seem to be just chatting, but if you look closely, you will find that these people are the subjects of Ellie's investigation.

Ren Amamiya, Anko Takamaki, Ryuji Sakamoto and——who is that guy?

In addition to the three of them, this time there was another black-haired boy who looked about the same age and dressed solemnly. His appearance looked a little slender, giving off an artistic feeling. And the bad boy Sakamoto Ryuji was also waving his fists now, looking quite excited.

"Okay, let's go!!"

Watching the four of them turn and leave, Xijian Qinyin looked at Ellie curiously.

"who are they?"

"A member of the Phantom Thieves of Heart."

"The Phantom Thieves are talking about them?"

Of course Xijian Qinyin knew about this matter, but most people accepted Aili's explanation, thinking it was just a prank to make a fuss.

"That's right, the black shadows we saw around the castle that day should also be them..."

Speaking of this, Ellie was silent for a while, and then grabbed Xijian Qinyin's hand.

"By the way, Qin Yin, are you interested in having an unusual date?"

"……………Hey?"

As a result, the shopping date that was originally booked turned into a stalking operation, and Ellie and Shiomi Kotone quietly followed behind the four of them. From the words of Ryuji Sakamoto just now, it seemed that they were going to do something again—— This is also normal. From the monitoring, Ellie has already learned that Ryuji Sakamoto is very dissatisfied with being robbed of the Kamoshida incident. If they don't plan to stop, they will definitely want to make big news. Now it seems that they are going to take action again.

So the two of them just followed, and they arrived at the venue of the Madarame Art Exhibition.

"They do choose."

Looking at the scene in front of her, Ellie couldn't help narrowing her eyes, and Xijian Qinyin was somewhat taken aback.

"Are the Phantom Thieves going to target Mr. Madarame?"

"It seems to be the case now. After all, the artist recently held an art exhibition on Xianjinjima and attracted a lot of attention. If he is the target, it will obviously attract a lot of attention."

Ellie said something in a low voice, and then walked into the art gallery with Xijian Qinyin.

Frankly speaking, in Ellie's opinion, she really has no interest in those art exhibitions in the art gallery. She would still be interested in reading comics drawn by Ying Lili or Zhenbai, but this kind of feeling is like abstract art like a fool Painting Ellie has no appreciative experience, but Xijian Qinyin is fascinated by it, nodding while moving forward, nodding while moving forward.

Then Xijian Qinyin's expression became a little weird.

"What's wrong?"

Ellie doesn't know how to appreciate these works of post-modern neurosis with girls without nude bodies, but her level of observing girls' words and feelings is first-rate.

"Ah, sorry, how should I put it......"

Hearing Ellie's question, Xijian Qinyin scratched her head, showing some doubts.

"Every painting here is great, but I always feel like something is not right. It always feels like the emotional expression of each painting is very intense and completely different."

"Didn't it be said in the propaganda? A talented painter with a variety of painting styles?"

"Although this is the case, I always feel that these emotions are not displayed by Madarame-sensei alone. After all, these emotions are so vivid and enthusiastic. If they are gathered on one person..."

"So you're saying that these paintings weren't actually drawn by Madarame Ryusai? That's interesting... Oh, there's something interesting ahead."

Speaking of this, Ellie suddenly found that there were many people surrounded in the corridor next to the exhibition hall, so she suddenly became curious, walked out of the exhibition hall with Xijian Qinyin, and then looked in front of her.

Immediately afterwards, Ellie saw hundreds of thousands of red letter papers pasted all over the exhibition hall. As before, the content was composed of words cut out of newspapers and spliced ​​together.

"Jiang Lang is exhausted, a vain sinner, and Madarame is a top-notch student. You bully others and steal the ideas of your disciples. You are an artist who is not afraid of plagiarism. We decided to make you confess all your crimes with your own mouth. We will take away your twisted desires, the strange thief of the heart Group 'Phantom' stay."

"This, this is...!?"

Seeing the letter paper in front of him, Xi Jianqin Yin had already eaten it immediately, while the corners of Ai Li's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile.

This is really interesting.

"follow me."

At this moment, Ellie also saw Madarame Yusai, who was yelling angrily because of the notice letter. Not far behind him was the slender artistic man that Ellie had seen before. At this moment, he was just secretly Glancing at Madarame, he turned and left. And Ellie also hurriedly grabbed Xijian Qinyin's hand, led her around Madarame Liusai secretly, and followed the art boy to the emergency passage on the other side of the exhibition hall.

And there, the other three members of the Phantom Thieves were also waiting for the artist.

"Is that all right?"

The artistic man looked at the three of them and asked, while Gao Juanxing nodded.

"Great, the article has become cool!"

Immediately afterwards, the black cat lying on Yu Gonglian's body also spoke.

"In this way, the treasure should have appeared, and the effect of the notice letter is about one day."

"it is good!!"

At this moment, Ryuji Sakamoto clenched his fists again and shouted.

"Let's give him some color!!!"

Then, under the watchful eyes of Aili and Xijian Qinyin, the four of them took out their mobile phones, and then, the space around them suddenly began to distort, and after a while, everything that was originally there disappeared without a trace. Instead, there is a magnificent art gallery in the dark.

"This is... shadow time? They can actually enter this world outside of shadow time?"

Seeing this, Xijian Qinyin yelled out in surprise, while Ellie stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, and pulled her aside. Then I saw the four guys who had put on the costumes of strange thieves quickly slipped into the magnificent art gallery in front of them.

"here is……………"

"It should be the spiritual world of Madarame Ryusai."

"So what are we going to do now, Miss Ellie?"

Facing Xijian Qinyin's curious question, Ellie shook her head.

"We'll just have to watch."

"...Look at it?"

"That's right..."

Airi briefly explained the research of "cognitive science" to Xijian Qinyin, and then continued to speak.

"Now you also know that the three important research parts of cognitive science are the mutual influence relationship between cognition and reality, how to change the cognition of others by changing the spiritual world, and the artificial synthesis of Persona. Kirijo Research Institute The artificially synthesized Persona project seems to have failed, and now I suspect that the Phantom Thieves may have acquired the means to change the perception of others by changing the spiritual world."

"Can this really be done?"

Xijian Qinyin felt suspicious, while Ellie shrugged.

"Who knows, if Madarame Liusai really became famous by plagiarizing the works of his disciples... Well, this kind of thing is not surprising, after all, art itself is very subjective, like you can see those paintings There are many differences in the emotions expressed between them, but in my opinion, they are all the same messy patchwork of colors."

Of course, if you want to discuss with me which artist painted the "fruit" very wow, then I won't be sleepy.

"So what are we going to do?"

"Just look at it. I want to see what methods they use to change the spiritual world and cognition of others. This will be a very interesting subject. Then..."

While speaking, Ellie stretched out her hand, took out a gun from her arms, and then silently installed the silencer.

"Then let's talk about that."
