Entering the Metaverse

That area is naturally the Impression Space.

It seems that they've finally encountered the boss of the beginner level, which is Chizuru Ichinose herself.

It's likely that the situation at the scene exceeded the girls' expectations, which is why they started talking about the You Know Who's name.

"I can vaguely sense that Katsura Kotonoha's fate has fluctuated. It must be that something special happened to them in the Impression Space, or that Miss Ichinose has encountered her 'shadow' there and caused some great commotion."

Today, the four people exploring the Impression Space are Sudo Ayami, Chizuru Ichinose, Katsura Kotonoha, and Kasumigaoka Utaha. Ai Kisugi is not joining the exploration for the time being because she is participating in the Cat's Eye Operation tonight.

However, in theory, a Persona Kasumigaoka Utaha's water affinity should be enough for them to deal with the shadow of the rampage.

However, the situation perceived by Miyauchi Hiyage seemed rather tense.

As Miyauchi Hiyage uttered those words, Shinomiya Kaguya's attitude involuntarily became tense.

"Did something happen to them?"

The Miyauchi Hiyage, shook her head uncertainly.

"It was only through the intertwining of my fate with that of Katsura Kotonoha and Utaha that I was able to vaguely perceive the trajectory of their destinies. I am not sure what their current situation is."

Shinomiya Kaguya bit her lip, then remembered that the Chat Group could directly transmit messages to the Impression Space, so she quickly took out her phone to check.

Sure enough, the group chat is now flooded with messages, all asking how the girls in Impression Space are doing.

She quickly scrolled up to check the records.

A few minutes ago, Kasumigaoka Utaha reported that a special node had been discovered near the location of Chizuru Ichinose's shadow.

However, since Chizuru Ichinose's shadow reaction was at the node, after some research, they decided to go into that special node together to investigate, as they felt they needed to figure out what changes had occurred throughout the Impression Space.

"After passing through that node, they appeared in a theater full of mirrors, and on each mirror, you could see the figure of Chizuru Ichinose dressed in different clothes?" Shinomiya Kaguya frowned as she looked at the records in the group chat, imagining the scene in her mind, and felt that it was a bit strange.

They had encountered many shadows in the Impression Space before, but those encounters were all in the dimly lit subway tunnel of the Impression Space. They had never encountered a special shadow that could create its own space in the Impression Space.

They haven't encountered any danger yet, but they're trapped in that world full of mirrors and can't find a way to proceed.

Shinomiya Kaguya subconsciously glanced at Miyauchi Hiyage, then relayed the information from the group chat to him.

"It seems there are still quite a few secrets hidden in this Impression Space," Miyauchi Hiyage muttered to herself, then shrugged at Shinomiya Kaguya. "I can't go to that world, so I don't know what's going on there. Why don't you send them back first?"

Chapter 306: Entering the Impression Space

Upon hearing Miyauchi Hiyage's suggestion, Shinomiya Kaguya quickly sent a message in the group chat urging the girls to return from the Impression Space as soon as possible.

Shinomiya Kaguya's words still carry a certain degree of authority in the group.

Furthermore, after she stated that all of this was sensed by Miyauchi Hiyage using his Destiny Power, the credibility of these words became even higher.

Only after she posted this message and tagged the girls who were exploring the Impression Space did Chizuru Ichinose, who was in charge, reply in the group a few minutes later.

Mizuhara Chizuru: "When we were preparing to leave, we received a reminder from the Otherworld Navigator App, saying that if we left directly, the 'Temporary Palace' might collapse prematurely. My shadow is still inside. If the palace collapses and affects my shadow, something unexpected might happen. I have already told everyone else to leave. Now only one person is temporarily staying here."

According to both Sudo Ayami and the You Know Who, the Impression Space is a place where the collective unconscious of all people living in Tokyo is stored. Most of the shadows in it are subconscious shadows that would have no effect even if they were killed, but there are also quite a few Mahito shadows that are not so aggressive.

These Mahito -life shadows can be communicated directly. As long as you don't show any hostility in front of them, these shadows behave no differently from normal people, except that they always have some dark thoughts in their minds.

Most importantly, eliminating these shadows will directly affect Mahito in reality.

Destroying these shadows will most likely cause that person to become an unconscious vegetable in reality, or even die directly.

Therefore, after seeing such a message in the Otherworld App, Chizuru Ichinose really didn't dare to leave this place directly.

Mizuhara Chizuru: "Moreover, I can also sense that this space, which is full of mirrors, seems to have a lot of connections with me. I feel that as long as I can solve the mystery here, I will be able to see my own shadow."

It's clear that Chizuru Ichinose is also a bit nervous right now.

After all, all I wanted to do at first was figure out what my trauma was, so I could improve my acting skills.

How did things suddenly turn out like this?

The other girls who were exploring the Impression Space were trying to see if they could return to that strange space after leaving Impression Space.

The answer is yes.

It seems that as long as there are people inside the place that the mobile app calls the "Temporary Palace," the space can continue to be maintained.

Kashiko Kasumi: "Let's study it again. I feel that there are some puzzle elements involved. We need to solve the mystery before we can move on to the next step."

Anyway, I don't have much to do these few days after the exam, so it won't hurt to stay in Impression Space a little longer.

Chizuru Ichinose is still a university student, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't show up at school for a few days.

"Temporary Palace? That's a completely new term. I wonder what a real 'palace' would be like. I've never heard of it from the You Know Who," Shinomiya Kaguya muttered to herself, then turned to look at Miyauchi Hiyage, wondering what he was thinking.

Of course, Miyauchi Hiyage knew what the palace was.

Those with distorted desires in the Impression Space might create palaces within it according to their own twisted Impression Space. This can be considered a special realm or a small world that is dependent on the Impression Space.

For the past two weeks, Miyauchi Hiyage and Tohru had practically searched the entire Impression Space, spending a lot of money and items, but they still couldn't find a palace twisted from desire.

He initially thought that the newly generated Impression Space had not yet incubated the existence of the palace.

Unexpectedly Chizuru Ichinose encountered a so-called Temporary Palace, which makes me very curious about how it came to be.

After all, no matter how you look at it Chizuru Ichinose's inner desires shouldn't be distorted into a palace in the Impression Space.

Moreover, the idea of the Temporary Palace sounds rather strange.

"After all, the Impression Space is a unique little world. Unless I can personally come into contact with Ms. Ichinose, I won't be able to understand the situation in that world."

Upon hearing Shinomiya Kaguya Miyauchi Hiyage's words, Katsura Kotonoha quickly thought of having Katsura Kotonoha, who was using Shiina Mashiro's phone to enter the Impression Space, return, and then have Miyauchi Hiyage take the phone in.

But after thinking about it, if Miyauchi Hiyage went in alone without any way to contact him, he probably wouldn't be able to find him in such a large Impression Space.

Although Kasumigaoka Utaha could do the same thing, Shinomiya Kaguya wouldn't give that woman the chance to lead the way.

"There's another phone that's actually with another girl. I'll go borrow it now, then get Katsura Kotonoha back, and then I'll take you to Impression Space."

Shinomiya Kaguya has always kept a certain level of attention on the girls in the group whose identities have been exposed.

Actually, it wasn't just the girls in the group; she paid attention to almost all the characters mentioned by the You Know Who in his diary.

Before the revelation of "Ai Kisugi," Shinomiya Kaguya had actually learned about the Cat's Eye Cat's Eye, but because they were phantom thieves and part of the main cast, she didn't do anything to them.

Now that the other party has become a friend in her group, Shinomiya Kaguya naturally won't attack them anymore.

Moreover, she was actively helping Ai Kisugi to find out that information.

He was naturally aware of Cat's Eye's actions tonight.

However, it's not time yet; the three sisters are probably still making preparations for the operation.

Under Shinomiya Kaguya's instructions, Miyauchi Hiyage teleported Shinomiya Kaguya directly to the outside of Cat's Eye Cafe.

"It's Cat's Eye Cafe, and it's right across from the police station. It's pretty absurd that no one has noticed it yet."

Looking at the Cat's Eye Cafe, which is located right across from the police station and is used by police officers who come here to gather information today, Miyauchi Hiyage couldn't help but mutter a complaint under her breath.

Meanwhile, Shinomiya Kaguya was still there, savoring the feeling of being teleported.

It's more than 20 kilometers from Miyauchi Hiyage's house to this place. Even if she now has the ability to fly, it would still take her several minutes to get here.

Due to limitations in her abilities, her maximum flight speed is actually not fast. At full sprint speed, it is only about 200 kilometers per hour and it cannot be sustained for more than ten minutes.

To achieve a longer driving range, a speed of around 30 to 40 kilometers per hour is the limit under normal circumstances.

It's just that when flying, you can take the shortest straight distance to your destination.

For Miyauchi Hiyage, having the teleportation ability made things much easier.

In less than 5 seconds, Miyauchi Hiyage, having pinpointed the location, teleported her directly to the vicinity of the destination.

"What a convenient ability," Shinomiya Kaguya remarked.

Although she had known for a long time that Miyauchi Hiyage possessed the ability to teleport, this was the first time she had personally experienced it.

"It seems convenient, but in reality, it consumes far more Mana power than you can imagine," Miyauchi Hiyage frankly stated regarding the mana consumption of this power.

"If it's just a few thousand meters, it's fine. I can use it ten or so times in a row without any problem. But if the distance exceeds ten kilometers, the consumption starts to increase. If I want to teleport to a location more than thirty kilometers away, it will basically drain all the Mana in my body after two or three times. It's also a considerable test for my mental strength. So I don't usually use this ability much."

"So unless something urgent happens, I won't even think of this ability myself."

Miyauchi Hiyage said this, and then gestured for Shinomiya Kaguya Ai Kisugi.

Negotiating Ai Kisugi is simple.

Before coming, Shinomiya Kaguya had already had a brief conversation with Ai Kisugi on her phone.

Tonight, Ai Kisugi an operation, is still making final adjustments to the modified Spider Suit to better suit the Cat's Eye style.

Now, Ai Kisugi's room is entangled in all sorts of cobwebs, and there are hardly any suitable places to stand.

Meanwhile, Ai Kisugi, dressed in Cat's Eye -style Spider Suit, stood upside down on the ceiling, getting used to the feeling.

To be honest, the ability to cling to walls, launch strong spider silk that automatically dissipates, and possess considerable self-defense and attack capabilities are a bit of a waste for these phantom thieves.

To explain the origin of this battle suit, Ai Kisugi came up with quite a few reasons.

Fortunately, the reward included knowledge about the materials of the suit, the energy source, and the spider silk, instantly making her a master in these fields and giving her a thorough understanding of various theories.

In addition, she had indeed recently been in contact with Professor Agasa, and by pointing the finger at Professor Agasa as the source of the Spider Suit, she managed to barely get away with it.

She is currently the one using this suit, and perhaps in the future, the core of Cat's Eye's operations will gradually shift from her second sister to her because of this suit.

As for the changes in Impression Space tonight, although she was a little worried, she couldn't spare any time to go in and explore because she was about to start the Cat's Eye operation.

Now that Shinomiya Kaguya is taking Miyauchi Hiyage, who has been mentioned by the You Know Who many times, to the Impression Space, she thinks this is a solution.

After expressing her envy of the teleportation ability, Ai Kisugi handed her phone to Shinomiya Kaguya.

"Be careful in the Impression Space."

Shinomiya Kaguya smiled and nodded to Ai Kisugi: "You guys at Cat's Eye, don't let your plans backfire after you get the Spider Suit."

Even if things go wrong, the Spider Suit's combat power is enough for one person to easily take down an army.

The Spider Suit is the kind of item that becomes more effective the faster your reaction time.

Most people would probably just use it to climb walls and use the spider silk as a simple means of attack.

Without any reaction time or resilience, even with AI assistance, a normal person wouldn't dare to swing on webs in skyscrapers like Spider-Man.

After exchanging a few words with Ai Kisugi, Shinomiya Kaguya returned to Miyauchi Hiyage Ai Kisugi. Finally, in a faint light, the two disappeared from her sight once again.

"Miyauchi Hiyage is really mysterious," Ai Kisugi. Although she hadn't spoken directly to Miyauchi Hiyage, she inexplicably felt from his constant presence in the shadows that he seemed to be hiding a lot of secrets.

However, she didn't think too much about it.

They're almost at the top level, and they still have so many other abilities. They can even sense changes in the Impression Space, and even the You Know Who has suffered a setback because of their abilities. It's normal for someone like that to have some secrets.

Katsura Kotonoha returned to reality with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

It appears she was unable to awaken her Persona in the Impression Space.

According to her own account, she had a slight feeling when she first entered the Impression Space, but unfortunately she didn't grasp that feeling and never felt it again.

"It's not easy to truly understand your own heart, but there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so there's no need to rush," Shinomiya Kaguya herself hadn't even awakened her Persona, nor had she ever felt that faint, elusive feeling.

However, at this time she naturally had to go and comfort Katsura Kotonoha, and at the same time get clearer information from her.

More complete information was soon obtained.

However, this information is actually meaningless.

In a dead end in the Impression Space, there is a strange node, and the railway tracks on the ground twist and turn as they enter that node.

After discussion, the group decided to explore that node.

Finally, they arrived at that strange world filled with all sorts of mirrors.

Their group dared not make any rash moves and remained at the entrance to that world to observe, but so far they had not found any useful clues.

Miyauchi Hiyage nodded slightly. "It seems that we won't understand the situation without going in and observing it for ourselves. Let's go in first."

Shinomiya Kaguya and Miyauchi Hiyage Miyauchi Hiyage clicked on the app on their phones together, and the next moment, they appeared at the entrance of the Impression Space.

After re-entering the Impression Space a few days later, Miyauchi Hiyage also made a gesture of sensing, as if he was trying to understand the situation of this world.

"These past few days I've looked at a lot of things related to domains, barriers, and space in magic, and I want to see if I can develop my own domain based on this information. However, developing a domain is much more difficult than I thought, and I still don't have any clue."

"However, the Impression Space feels to me somewhat like a small world derived from a corner of the real world. Perhaps it will be helpful for your understanding of the realm in the future."

When Miyauchi Hiyage opened his eyes, the light in them indicated that he had activated his Eyes of Destiny.
