Persona, I am the villain and I can do whatever I want

Sakura Futaba deciphered the words around the disc and tried to open the door, but it didn't budge.

She turned and looked at everyone, "It seems that we can only explore the areas to the left and right."

"To be precise, we only need to explore the door on the left." Mitsui Tsubasa walked to the door on the right and looked at the picture swaying like water waves. "The one on the right is the safe room."

Chapter 100: Death of the Prayer (VI)

Mitsui Tsubasa pulled the simple stone switch, and with a mechanical sound, the door of the room slowly opened.

The three of them entered one by one, and the scene before them changed, as if they were in a modern room.

"Ah wow wow!" Sakura Futaba suddenly screamed and held her head tightly with both hands, "This, isn't this my room?!"

Mitsui Yi sat in her computer chair and explained lightly:

"This is a place in the temple where the distortion is relatively small and the control of the temple master is relatively weak. It can be considered our safe house."

Sakura Futaba had a foundation in cognitive science and quickly understood this setting.

Wu Jian Miao paced back and forth in the room with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Okay, okay, we don't need to rest yet, let's get going!"

Sakura Futaba watched her walk around, her expression becoming more and more nervous, and she urged her anxiously.

Wu Jianmiao did not refuse, but just glanced at her indifferently and followed Mitsui Tsubasa's pace.

The three returned to the pyramid again, and this time they chose the passage on the left.

The door revealed a wide corridor with dim lighting.

As soon as they stepped in, Sakura Futaba warned carefully: "Everyone be careful, there is the breath of shadows here, and there are a lot of them."

Mitsui Tsubasa nodded slightly to Takemiya, motioning her to follow him closely, and then walked ahead alone.

Not far away, several shadows that looked like mummy warriors blocked the way.

They hold tattered halberds in their hands, like loyal guards protecting an ancient tomb.

Mitsui Tsubasa glanced down at the black phantom suit on his body and couldn't help but laugh at himself, thinking that he really looked like a tomb robber.

In order to speed up the upgrade, he decided to stop using the Flame of Heart to avoid fighting.

He took a deep breath and faced the enemy with dignity.

When the shadows saw the invaders, they roared and revealed their true forms, using all their strength right from the start.

"It's the Mountain Spirit and Orobos. Their weak attributes are both ice."

Sakura Futaba quickly identified the type of shadow in front of her.

"Zeus, it's up to you!"

A crazy smile appeared on Mitsui Tsubasa's lips.

"It's bad luck for you, Mahabhuvra!"

Dense ice blades instantly filled the entire passage, and the shadows had no time to fight back before they were ruthlessly cut and torn apart.

After the skill was released, only the most powerful Orobos was barely alive.

But unfortunately it triggered the freezing state and was firmly frozen in a huge ice crystal.

Mitsui Tsubasa walked closer and carefully observed its strange horse-shaped appearance, then kicked it lightly and broke it into pieces.

After Wu Jianmiao caught up, he solemnly warned:

"There are many shadows in this hall that have wind resistance, so just focus on healing them."

Wu Jian Miao nodded seriously and kept a farther distance from him to avoid getting involved in a fight.

The exploration continued, and they encountered a cat demon and a bullfighter. However, in front of Mitsui Tsubasa's powerful attributes, these battles seemed easy and freehand.

With the huge advantage of the original plot, they solved all the puzzles almost at a rapid speed.

Under the deliberate guidance of Mitsui Tsubasa, they soon discovered a room that was different from the others.

The layers of seals on the door looked extremely suspicious, and the intermittent mysterious female voice coming from the gap in the tightly closed door was even more chilling.

Sakura Futaba has become exceptionally silent since approaching this door.

Mitsui Tsubasa hesitated for a moment, but still stepped aside and motioned for her to come forward.

"Futaba, this door is related to your inner world and should be opened by you yourself."

"Futaba..." Wu Jianmiao looked at her with some concern.

Sakura Futaba hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to step forward.

She pulled out an emergency dagger from her waist, gritted her teeth, and cut the seals on the door layer by layer.

As the door slowly opened, the strange female voice suddenly disappeared without a trace.

In the empty room, there was only a strange flower made of blood vessels standing in the center.

At the top of the flower grows a skull-like fruit, but inside the skeleton is not flesh and blood, but crystals that flash with a strange red light.

Sakura Futaba stared at this strange fruit with an expression of pain and anger mixed on her face.

Mitsui Yi walked over to her and examined it together. "I call this the Desire Stone. It is the crystallization of your twisted desires."

His gaze fell solemnly on the blood-colored branches, and the red light that appeared from time to time caught his eyes.

Although this is not Sakura Futaba's secret treasure, it is also a very precious treasure.

Sakura Futaba took a deep breath and finally understood the meaning of this desire stone.

She stretched out her hand tremblingly, grasped the lust stone tightly, and pulled it out with force. Then, an unbearable look of pain appeared on her face, and her left hand touched her forehead.

"Futaba?" Mitsui Tsubasa was shocked. What was going on? There was no such plot development in the original work.

Takemi Miyabi hurried forward and used her medical knowledge to conduct a preliminary examination on Sakura Futaba.

After a while, Sakura Futaba slowly opened her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling gently, as beautiful as a butterfly fluttering its wings.

"I'm fine. It's just that when I picked up the Desire Stone, I saw some scenes from the past. But it doesn't matter. I have seen the truth and will not be deceived by these false memories again."

As she spoke, she handed the Desire Stone in her hand to Mitsui Tsubasa.

But Mitsui Tsubasa didn't take it. He shook his head gently and said, "This is your stuff. You decide how to deal with it."

Sakura Futaba looked at the red crystal-like skull with a look of disdain.

"Wow... What's the use of this thing? It's too ugly to be used as a decoration..."

Mitsui Tsubasa smiled and explained, "You can try to transform the Desire Stone into something else just like you transformed the headphones."

Although he said this, he was actually unsure. After all, he had never met Joseph and had no idea about the specific use and handling of the Desire Stone.

After hearing his advice, Sakura Futaba fell into deep thought.

She looked down at the Desire Stone in her hand and began to conceive of various possible transformation plans in her mind.

This thought lasted for a full quarter of an hour before she took out a laptop covered with various logos from the bag she was carrying on her back.

She sat cross-legged on the ground and started to operate.

Her fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, making crackling sounds. After a while, she placed the stone on the touch screen of the computer and stared at the screen with anticipation.

Mitsui Tsubasa and Takemiya stood aside and watched, both of them looked confused.

As time went by, the red light on the Desire Stone began to become brighter and brighter, and the computer fan began to hum violently, making a huge noise as harsh as an airplane engine.

After the abnormal phenomenon lasted for a few minutes, the light of the Desire Stone became intermittent, like a battery that was about to run out of power.

It barely lasted for another ten or so seconds before completely dimming, and the red crystals inside disappeared without a trace.

Sakura Futaba pursed her lips tightly, her fingers tapping quickly on the keyboard, even trembling a little. She was fully focused on her work, completely ignoring everything around her.

After a while, she finally stopped what she was doing and put the computer back into her backpack with satisfaction.

There was a smug smile on her face, as if she had accomplished something remarkable.

"Hehehe, the transformation was a great success!" she announced excitedly, "When I get back and debug it, it will be of great use!"

Mitsui Tsubasa looked at her in shock and asked in disbelief: "You used the Desire Stone to upgrade your computer configuration? That's such a waste!"

"Of course not." Sakura Futaba raised her head happily, "I used the Desire Stone to speed up the development of artificial intelligence!"

Without waiting for them to ask questions, she started talking nonstop.

Wu Jianmiao obviously didn't know much about this and seemed to understand what he said.

But Mitsui Tsubasa is different. He has experienced the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology and is well aware of the value of this technology.

Unexpectedly, Futaba Sakura has been using hacking techniques to gain access to the databases of European and American artificial intelligence research companies.

Now with the special bonus of Desire Stone and Cognitive Science, I wonder what kind of AI model she can develop.

If ChatGPT were to come out earlier, it would be sensational news!

Chapter 101: Death of the Prayer (VII)

After experiencing some ups and downs in her mood, Futaba Sakura finally regained her composure.

She looked down at the Desire Stone in her hand, which had run out of energy and turned into an ordinary stone, and raised her hand to throw it away like a baseball.

"Don't!" Mitsui Yi hurriedly stopped her, "If you don't need it anymore, just give it to me."

He was very interested in the skull-shaped shell of the Desire Stone and planned to try whether the flame of his heart could be placed inside it.

Sakura Futaba handed it to him puzzled, not understanding what he wanted with the ugly stone.

Mitsui Tsubasa carefully took the desire stone and squeezed it. He was surprised to find that it was slightly elastic and not as hard as stone. Instead, it was really like the fruit of a plant.

He put the lust stone into his backpack. After confirming that Sakura Futaba was fine, he led everyone to move forward.

They followed the guidance of the light and walked into a secret room at the side.

This is where the first mural is located.

As the mechanism was activated, messy puzzle pieces appeared on the originally blank wall.

"Is this Futaba's shadow self?"

Takemi Miyabi asked, pointing to one of the puzzle pieces, and Sakura Futaba, dressed in Pharaoh's attire, sat on the throne.

"No, this is..." Sakura Futaba hesitated as she quickly adjusted the order of the puzzle pieces.

Soon, a complete mural appeared before everyone:

Several adults were reading something to a crying child.

"It would have been better if Futaba hadn't been born."

"It's really annoying."

"Mom seems to be worried about Futaba, is it postpartum depression..."

A man's cold and malicious voice came from the mural.

Sakura Futaba's face turned pale instantly, and her voice was low and trembling: "This is... a suicide note..."

"It was shortly after my mother died, when the men in black read her last words to me..."

Her eyes were empty, as if she was lost in distant memories.

Wu Jianmiao's heart tightened. He wanted to comfort Futaba, but he didn't know how to start.

"It's too much to say such things to a child!"

Just when the atmosphere became extremely tense, Mitsui Tsubasa suddenly took a step forward and stepped heavily on the ground, making a loud "bang" sound.

He walked up to the mural, his brows furrowed.

"But the suicide note was a fake, wasn't it?"

These words were like a flash of lightning that cut through the darkness, instantly breaking her heavy mood.

"False things should be destroyed!"

A pitch-black flame ignited from his hand, and he punched hard at a corner of the mural with all his strength. The entire wall shook as if it was about to collapse.

Sakura Futaba was stunned. She reached out her hand to stop him, but it was too late.
