Volume 19: Magical Index and the Goddess Chapter 030: Prison Cell, First Meeting
In the world of Persona, a temple is a place where a person's perceptions are distorted by strong negative or corrupted thoughts, materialized around the shadow self, and embodies the view of the surrounding objects.
But it’s not that no one has his own temple.
Only those desires that are distorted to such an extent can form an independent temple.
Taku Kamoshida is such a person.
So he twisted the school into his own castle, and he became the king inside the castle.
Inside the palace, there are a large number of shadows formed by negative personalities guarding here.
These shadows each have their own magical uses and can bring out powerful combat capabilities in this hall.
For example, the Jack the Lantern just now could easily kill one or several ordinary humans.
But facing Emiya, it's nothing.
Although Emiya has not yet awakened the power of the [Personality Mask], he can still easily defeat these shadows.
As he rampaged through the palace, he alarmed quite a few shadows.
These shadows rushed towards Emiya, trying to capture the intruder.
But unfortunately, these shadows were too weak. Emiya waved his hand and killed all of them, leaving no one behind.
Before he knew it, Emiya had walked through the hall, crossed the corridor, and finally arrived at the cells under the castle.
As soon as Emiya entered the cell, he saw two young men rushing towards him like desperate men.
The two boys, one was wearing an ordinary school uniform, a black suit with red buttons on the top, with the school emblem embroidered on the left chest pocket, and a white high-necked shirt inside with the logo of Shujin Academy embroidered on the collar.
The bottoms are red and black plaid trousers.
But the other one was dressed very strangely.
It consists of a dark grey shirt, a black windbreaker with double wings design and black skinny pants. The gloves are a bright contrasting red and the shoes are black high-heeled boots.
In addition, he also wore a mask in the shape of a white spirit bird with dark smoky eyes.
Emiya recognized the two men immediately.
One of them is none other than the protagonist of Persona, Amamiya Ren.
The other one is the yellow-haired Ryuji Sakamoto.
The two were running away, and suddenly saw Emiya, and were a little surprised. Sakamoto Ryuji seemed to have thought of something, and yelled at Emiya: "Don't come in, run, escape from here."
Emiya immediately understood that this guy seemed to think that he was also an unlucky guy who had accidentally entered here.
And judging from their configuration, they had obviously just entered here not long ago.
Especially Ryuji Sakamoto, who is still wearing a school uniform instead of a thief uniform, which means that he has not yet awakened his personality mask.
On the contrary, Amamiya Ren should have awakened her personality mask.
Emiya smiled at the two of them, made way for their escape, and walked forward. His target was Kamoshida Taku, so of course he would not retreat.
"Hey, hey, hey, where are you going?" When Ryuji Sakamoto saw this scene, he couldn't help but yelled, reached out to grab Emiya, and wanted to take Emiya out by force.
Emiya lightly avoided Sakamoto Ryuji's hand and said, "I'm going to find someone."
Amamiya Lian quickly said: "It's very dangerous here."
"I know, but that's for you. For me, this place is not dangerous at all."
"Are you serious?" Amamiya Ren was incredulous.
While the three were talking, a large group of shadows caught up and decisively attacked Emiya.
Shirou raised his hand, and bolts of lightning shot out from his fingertips, piercing through the shadows that were chasing him. In just a few seconds, all the shadows were destroyed.
When Amamiya Ren and Sakamoto Ryuji saw this scene, they couldn't help but show expressions of disbelief.
"What on earth is this?"
Emiya didn't explain to the two people and continued moving forward. He now knew where Kamoshida Taku was.
Amamiya Ren and Sakamoto Ryuji looked at each other, not knowing whether they should run away now or stay and watch how things develop.
"What should we do?" Sakamoto Ryuji asked Amamiya Ren in a low voice.
Amamiya Lian thought for a moment and said, "Wait and see what happens. If anything goes wrong, run away immediately."
Ryuji Sakamoto thought the same and nodded decisively. The two of them followed Emiya, wanting to see what Emiya was doing.
Just as a few people passed by a cell, a voice was heard.
"Hey, three over there, this way, look over here."
The three looked in the direction of the sound. A cat stood up and grabbed the door of the cell. It yelled at the three men, "We are free of you. Please save us."
This is a black cat with blue eyes. Its mouth, paws and the end of its tail are white. It has a yellow scarf around its neck. The whole person, uh... the whole cat looks very fashionable.
When Sakamoto Ryuji saw this scene, he was completely terrified, "Ahhhhhh, what kind of creature is this?"
Amamiya Ren was also confused, "This is... a cat."
The cat retorted without hesitation, "I am not a cat, I am Morgana."
Of course Emiya knew that it was Morgana. He was created by the old man in the Velvet Room to be the protagonist's guide and guide the protagonist to rebirth.
Emiya didn't hate Morgana, he could even say he liked him.
After all, few people can resist such a cute cat.
whoosh!
Emiya snapped his fingers, and a bolt of lightning cut open the cell door like a sharp blade, rescuing Morgana from the cell.
"Thank you." Morgana formally thanked Emiya after escaping from the cell, "I am Morgana, you are."
"Emiya."
Sakamoto Ryuji said: "I am Sakamoto Ryuji."
Amamiya Ren said silently: "I am Amamiya Ren."
Morgana nodded and said, "Please give me your guidance, Emiya, Ryuji, and Lian. You must be confused now. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me. I can tell you everything I know."
Emiya shook his head and said, "I don't need that. Just tell them both about it."
Having said that, Emiya continued on his way.
Morgana began to explain to Ryuji Sakamoto and Ren Amamiya things related to the palace, shadows, personality masks, etc.
As for why they were so relaxed, there was no tension at all.
Of course, it was because Emiya had just killed all the shadows in the cell.
Now, besides Emiya and his group, there was only one other prisoner in the cell.
Emiya walked up to the prisoner and looked him straight in the eye.
Kamoshida Taku!
This guy was accidentally put into a cell by Amamiya Ren, who had awakened her personality mask, and Sakamoto Ryuji, and he hasn't come out yet.
"Who are you, guy?" Taku Kamoshida stared at Emiya with his golden eyes.
