For Ellie, sending an idiot to jail was not a big deal. The police immediately took action after receiving Ellie's instructions. As for Ellie herself, she continued to focus on the issue of film time.

It has to be admitted that with the addition of Astarudy, Eguchi Yui and Yezane Natsune, Airi's manpower has gradually become more sufficient, especially Eguchi Yui - as a nightmare, she has the ability to fly, so now in addition to Airi, there is another little guy who can fly around in the air.

The coverage area of ​​the two air units is much faster than that of Ellie searching everywhere alone, and the effect is almost immediate. Not long after, Ellie received a report from Jiangguchi Jietong - the little guy made a great discovery on the twelfth artificial island!

So Ai Li hurriedly gathered everyone and rushed to the place that Jiangguchi Jiehong said. Then, looking at the building in front of them, everyone was stunned.

"Xuezi, are you sick again?"

This was the first sentence that Chie Satonaka said after seeing the building, and when she heard her friend's question, Yukiko Amagi hurriedly retorted.

"I'm not doing that! Look, I'm right here!!"

The reason why they behaved like this was very simple, because the building that appeared in front of everyone was none other than a... castle!

That’s right, it looks like the castle where Yukiko Amagi was before, and they were carved from the same mold!

More importantly, unlike other buildings that were completely dark after entering the shadow time, the castle in front of him was brightly lit and looked quite lively. It was for this reason that Jie Tong sent a message to Ai Li.

By the way, Princess Castle has now become Amagi Yukiko's dark history, especially the words "pursuing" and "chasing" are completely taboo in front of her, whoever mentions it will be angry...

"Where is this place? There doesn't seem to be a castle on the 12th artificial island. Is it a building that only appears in shadow time, just like Tartarus?"

Ellie took out the map, checked the terrain, and was surprised to find... this seemed to be a hospital.

Hospital?

"So what do we do now?"

"Anyway, let's go take a look first."

Led by Ai Li, everyone walked to the gate of the castle. It was not until this time that they realized that the castle in front of them was not the same as the castle of Yukiko Amagi before. Banners could be seen everywhere in this magnificent-looking castle. Banners basically contained words like "Goal, dominate the country!" and "Congratulations to the volleyball team for their appearance in the regional tournament". It looked like a school.

"Welcome everyone to my castle!!"

Just as everyone was looking at the castle carefully, suddenly, a drooping voice was heard. Everyone looked up and saw a man wearing a crown, a red cloak, and only a top inside, strode over on the balcony above the city gate and looked at the group of people in front of him triumphantly.

After seeing the man's face clearly, Yue Yuyou Jiali screamed.

"Damushida?!"

That’s right, the person who appeared in front of everyone at this moment was Taku Kamoshida, who was beaten up by Ai Li and sent to the hospital during the day!

"Why is he here?!"

"It should be another him... I didn't expect that he would also enter the shadow time..."

Looking at Kamoshida in front of them, everyone was speechless for a moment, and Kamoshida stared at them coldly.

"You bunch of lowly people, why don't you kneel down when you see me?! Huh?"

"Bang!!"

However, as soon as Kamo Shida finished speaking, a gunshot suddenly rang out. The bullet almost grazed Kamo Shida's hair and passed by the edge of his temple, scaring Kamo Shida so much that he shrank his neck.

"Tsk, it missed."

Looking at the smoking muzzle of the gun in her hand, Ai Li couldn't help but click her tongue, and at this moment Kamo Shida jumped up angrily.

"You bitch, you actually dared to attack me! I won't let you off the hook. I will let you know what real hell is! You women are only fit to be my slaves and bitches! I will catch you and let you experience the pain of living a life worse than death, and then I will make you beg for my forgiveness!!"

While shouting, Kamoshida turned around and ran back to the castle. Ai Li stared coldly at the balcony without saying a word.

"That guy... Miss Ellie, should we go in and beat him up again?"

At this moment, Yue Yuyu Jiali also clenched her fists and looked at Ai Li. In Yue Yuyu Jiali's opinion, Ai Li would definitely not miss this opportunity. However, to her surprise, Ai Li just stared at the balcony for a moment, then retracted her gaze and sighed silently.

"No, fighting and killing won't solve the problem. We should make him realize his mistakes."

"Why?"

Everyone was stunned by Ai Li's answer.

"But...how to do it?"

"Do it."

Ellie raised her right hand and looked forward.

At this moment, time stopped flowing.

The next moment, time began to flow again.

Everyone only felt a flash before their eyes, and then when they looked at the castle again, they couldn't help but be startled.

At this moment, the thick walls of the castle were covered with strange rectangular objects with flashing red dots on them, and in the gaps between these rectangular objects, there was densely written...TNT!

At the same time, Ellie calmly pressed the detonator in her hand.

"drop."

“——!!!”

The fierce blast rushed towards them, forcing everyone to retreat. The flashing flames instantly engulfed the entire castle. The tall, solid castle was completely shattered and collapsed like a child's Lego building blocks. A mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

I don’t know how long it took for the dust to settle.

The originally magnificent castle had now been completely blown to the ground. There were broken bricks and tiles everywhere, and Ellie took out a shotgun and strode into the ruins of the castle in front of her. Everyone looked at each other and followed Ellie silently, not daring to breathe.

“Crash!!”

The accumulated rubble fell down, and then Kamoshida's embarrassed figure appeared in everyone's sight. At the same time, Ai Li raised the shotgun in her hand.

"Do you know you're wrong?"

"Bang!"

The bullet shot out and hit Kamo Shida, who had just crawled out of the rubble, directly on the buttocks, causing him to fly backwards with a howl.

"Do you know you're wrong?"

"Bang!!"

"Do you know you're wrong?"

"Bang!!!"

Ai Li's tone was very calm, without any ups and downs, but it was so cold that it made people's scalps numb. In fact, the people who were following her had slowed down their pace at this moment, watching Ai Li shoot Kamo Shida, who had finally climbed up, and they couldn't help but gasp.

"Miss Ellie is so scary..."

Xia Yin clenched her hands and whispered to herself as she watched the scene in front of her, while Jie Tong blinked curiously.

"Really? I think the big sister is so handsome, just as handsome as the big boss in the movie!"

"That's not the question..."

Hearing this, Satonaka Chie couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

At the same time, Ai Li had easily broken Kamo Shida's limbs. Then she strode forward and stuffed the hot gun barrel in her hand directly into Kamo Shida's howling mouth, immediately blocking his screams.

“Woooooooooooooooooo!!!”

"Do you know you're wrong?"

“Woo…!!! Woo woo woo!!!”

This time, Kamoshida had no way to escape and could only nod.

"Then die."

"Bang!!!!!"

With the last gunshot, Kamoshida's head was completely blown up, and then his body turned into ashes and disappeared into the dark shadows.

"It's really unlucky."

After taking a cold glance at the empty ground, Ellie turned around and prepared to leave. However, at this moment, suddenly, her ears caught a faint sound in the distance.

“Ka-la!”

“Who is it?!!!”

Ellie grabbed the submachine gun from her cloak and aimed at the direction of the sound. At this moment, suddenly, two dark shadows suddenly rushed out from behind the collapsed rubble wall and ran away. At the same time, Ellie pulled the trigger without hesitation.

“Da da da da da!!!”

The tongue of fire from the submachine gun moved forward along the ground and passed by the black shadow, who then flashed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Gone?"

Looking at the disappearing figure, Ellie was stunned for a moment. She could feel that the other person was not hiding somewhere, but had completely disappeared from this world.

In other words, the other party has the ability to freely travel between shadow time and the real world?

This is a bit tricky...

"Ms. Ellie, what just happened was..."

Kirijo Mitsuru also saw those figures and asked hurriedly, but Ai Li shook her head.

"It's still unclear who they are, but...it's very likely that the rat we're looking for has revealed its tail."

After that, as the shadow time disappeared, most people went back to rest, and Ai Li came to the hospital again and found Kamoshida's ward.

"Ms. Ellie!!"

When the policeman guarding the door of the ward saw Ellie, he hurriedly stood up and saluted her, and Ellie nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work. How is the prisoner doing?"

"No changes. He has been in a coma since the previous surgery."

"oh……"

Ai Li came to the door and looked at the bed inside. She saw that Kamo Shida was sleeping soundly on the bed. Judging from the data from the instruments around him, his vital signs were normal... Hmm?

At this moment, Ai Li's eyes suddenly fixed.

"What is that?"

She waved her hand, signaling the police to come over, and pointed to something on the head of Kamoshida's bed.

It was a black envelope. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like something a doctor would leave behind, nor did it look like something a police officer would leave behind.

"Hey? What...what is that?"

However, in response to Ellie's questions, the policeman guarding the ward was also shocked after seeing the envelope.

“There was no such thing before!!”

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Miss Ellie, I'm sure of it!"

In response to the police's answer, Ellie waved her hand, then she walked into the ward, went to the bedside, picked up the letter and opened it. Inside was red letter paper and words cut from newspapers, something like a kidnapping threat letter.

"You lustful bastard, Mr. Kamoshida Taku, you force your twisted desires on students who are powerless to resist. We are well aware of your shameful behavior. So we decided to steal your twisted desires and force you to confess your crimes - the Phantom Thieves of Hearts."

“Oh…”

Looking at the words left on the letter paper, Ai Li narrowed her eyes and a cold light flashed across them.

Now things get interesting.

It seems that those rats hiding in the darkness can't help but show up?
