Persona: Devil Summoner

Sometimes, when someone talks to you, they don't expect you to reply, but they occasionally need an outlet to vent and talk about their worries. Many things don't need others to comfort or solve them, and even others can't comfort or solve them. As long as they can talk and vent, everything will be fine.

The reason why the depression rate among children today is so high is largely because there is no one around them to listen to their complaints.

“······Sorry, it’s boring to have to listen to me talking all the time, right?”

She talked a lot, and the game was almost over when Dongxiang Yiersan suddenly realized that she seemed to have talked a lot. A barely noticeable blush appeared on her pretty face. She was also blaming herself in her heart, why did she say so much to someone she didn't know very well, and cause more trouble for him?

"It's okay, quite interesting."

Jiang Tianwei's words came from the heart.

Einstein has a famous theory called the Theory of Relativity. You don't need to know the specific content of the Theory of Relativity, but just know the famous metaphor he used. To put it simply, it's all about being set off by other people.

在这个教堂里，能拿来打发时间的东西也就只有：1、喜多川的艺术。2、宗教的教义。3、连规则都不知道的将棋。4、一个人发呆，悟道。5、跟东乡一二三聊她的私事。

In comparison, the most interesting of these five things, apart from Enlightenment, is just Chatting with One, Two, Three.

Moreover, Yi Er San felt that what he said was boring, but from Jiang Tianwei's perspective, being able to hear so many topics from circles that he had never heard of was like paying attention to gossip in the entertainment industry.

Shogi was boring to him, but gossip was another matter.

Jiang Tianwei looked at Kitagawa Yusuke, who was still folding his hands to form a frame, looking around for something that could be used as inspiration. He said that to surpass "The Sistine Madonna", at least he had to deconstruct this classic first, and then he could surpass it.

It's like if you are determined to become an Olympic champion, you have to at least know what the Olympic champion's score is before you work hard!

Seeing his enthusiastic look, Jiang Tianwei knew that it would take him a long time to finish. He could only sigh and said, "How about you teach me the rules of Shogi?"

As soon as Jiang Tianwei said this, Dongxiang Yiersan showed a look of surprise on her face. She nodded vigorously and opened her red lips slightly...

"If you want to learn so much, how about buying a copy of 'Introduction to Shogi' yourself?!"

Suddenly, a stern shout came from above their heads! The anger in the words made Jiang Tianwei tremble involuntarily even without seeing the other person's face...

Chapter 206 Hedong Lion’s Roar

A study shows that when humans are faced with the roar of a lion or tiger, their heartbeats become disordered for a moment and their entire movements stop because of the sound of the roar. This is what people often call "being scared out of your wits".

According to the same study, the hunting procedure of lions and tigers is to first intimidate the opponent with a loud roar, and then take advantage of the opponent's lack of reaction to exert their own fighting power advantage.

In China, the loud sound is called a lion's roar, which seems to make some sense.

Although Jiang Tianwei had never heard the roar of a hungry tiger, he heard the roar of an angry tigress today. He experienced up close the feeling of having his heart stopped by the loud noise.

Dongxiang Yiersan was obviously frightened, her shoulders hunched, her neck shrunk, and her body trembled continuously. From her appearance, it can be seen that she must be very afraid of the owner of this voice.

Jiang Tianwei raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a middle-aged woman who looked nothing special. She had a furious look on her face, her eyebrows raised, her eyes wide open, and her hands on her hips. She looked like a demon!

"One, two, three! How many times have I told you! You are a public figure now! Pay attention to your image! Don't have anything to do with this kind of shady playboy! Do you know how mean the media is now? Those guys will be buzzing around you like flies! As long as you do something, they will exaggerate and write nonsense. Especially now that you are in the rising period of your career! The cooperation contract with the Medical Bureau will be coming soon. During this period of time, you must not cause any scandals! Do you understand?"

Before Jiang Tianwei could say anything, or Dongxiang could react, the man started to speak in rapid succession, so fast that no one could get a word in! Jiang Tianwei opened his mouth dryly, like a fish on the shore, with a lot of rebuttals in his mind but couldn't say them, and was blocked by the other party's next sentence.

In other words, he has a high level of quality and always wants to wait until the other party stops before speaking. As a result, the other party doesn't even give him a chance to speak. This is why it is always said that civilized people are easy to be bullied, because unruly people will not reason with you.

After the other party had finally finished speaking, Jiang Tianwei quickly spoke up: "We are just chess friends..."

It would have been fine if he didn't speak, but as soon as he spoke, before he could even finish the second half of his sentence, "There's nothing shameful about it," he was forcibly interrupted by this middle-aged woman!

"What chess friend? I've seen a lot of people like you! You just thought our Yi Er San was pretty! What chess? You're just looking for an excuse to come over and chat with her! If you want to say you're her chess friend, come on, tell me who she played against last time? What tactics did she use? What was the final move that decided the outcome?"

Jiang Tianwei was speechless after hearing what this man said.

If it was just a simple shrew swearing in the street, then he could curse back, but the problem is that what the other person said makes sense...

Although I didn't come here for Yi Er San's looks, but from an outsider's perspective, I really am a lecher... Especially the series of words at the end. It's true that I didn't know Yi Er San's game, nor did I pay attention to shogi, and I didn't even know the rules. I was speechless.

As if feeling that Jiang Tianwei was a little embarrassed, Dongxiang Yiersan said anxiously: "Mom...we are not..."

"What do you mean by not? I know, you are just too kind-hearted! You don't know that this rotten world is full of liars and villains! Except for mom, everyone is a bad person! Isn't this what I have always taught you?"

Togo Ichiraku's mother became more and more excited as she spoke, and she even started dancing.

It is said that mothers are strong, but her mother is obviously too strong. This fully illustrates the law that things will turn into the opposite when they reach the extreme. I don't know if it is because she made some mistakes when she was young, but in short, she is openly showing her cynicism towards the whole world.

Judging from online news, there are quite a few such "monster parents".

Jiang Tianwei secretly went to see Dongxiang Yiersan. Faced with this overly strong mother, she could only lower her head, pretend not to hear, not to refute, and wait for the storm to pass.

This is the smartest approach, the most common approach, and what most people do.

When you are powerless, you can only endure and pray that the persecution will end soon. This is why, in any country and at any time, the poorer, more chaotic and more hopeless the people are, the more they believe in religion. Because they no longer have any hope for "this life", they can only place their hopes on the illusory "God" and "next life".

The same is true for Togo Ichiraku. Faced with her mother's unreasonableness, what else can this high school student do? She is not financially independent and lacks a plan for the future. She can only bury her head in the ground like an ostrich, begging for the threat to pass quickly.

Seeing Yi Er San's appearance, Jiang Tianwei's heart skipped a beat...

If it was the male protagonist of a cartoon, he would definitely be the one wanting to stand up for the girl. Although Jiang Tianwei also wanted to do the same thing, his starting point was different... Looking at this girl who endured silently, he suddenly saw his former self in her.

Seeing the self who had been submissive and contented, he felt a strong desire to express himself. He wanted to speak for her... No, to be more precise, he wanted to speak for the self who had never fought back when she scolded him.

"I don't speak..."

Jiang Tianwei hadn't finished his sentence when he was interrupted again! He frowned, his face clearly showing anger, and he was just about to start cursing.

However, the one who interrupted him this time was not Togo Ichizo's mother, but Kitagawa Yusuke!

"That's enough."

He had been immersed in the world of art for a long time, and finally came out of the world of art. With his concentration, when he was immersed in the world of painting, he basically didn't pay attention to the outside world. When he came to his senses, he immediately found that his partner was being slandered... How could he tolerate this?

"I don't know what bad things my companions have done, but now I only see your one-sided outpouring of emotions."

Yusuke Kitagawa accurately summarized the current situation in one sentence.

Although there were not many people in the church, they all nodded involuntarily and made slight sounds of approval.

It is said that justice is in the heart of the people, which is true. Although none of these people wanted to be the first to speak out, everyone did have a bad impression of this woman who did not give them a chance to speak.

"If you don't know, then don't come over and interrupt! What are you talking about when you don't understand anything!"

When the middle-aged woman heard that someone was coming to cause trouble, she immediately changed her target. She was just like a mad dog, biting whatever she caught.

"That's right! That's well said! That's absolutely right!"

Suddenly, amidst the general atmosphere of disgust towards this unreasonable middle-aged woman, a few exaggerated voices of approval emerged. Looking for the source, it turned out to be Jiang Tianwei, who had been speechless before!

At this time, he was smiling and clapping his hands vigorously to applaud the woman. Even just sitting and clapping was not enough, he even stood up for it.

This confused Yi Er San's mother. She stared at Jiang Tianwei suspiciously and said, "What are you doing? Even if you agree with me, I won't..."

However, when she was halfway through her words, Jiang Tianwei interrupted her rudely, ignoring the fact that she was still talking, and even suppressed her voice with a higher voice: "What I said is that "you don't know anything but just talk nonsense here'. It's so true! I didn't expect you to know yourself so clearly! That's easy to say!

It is important for people to know themselves. I am still wondering what you would do if you didn't have this. "

It was probably because few people dared to confront her so directly. She usually quarreled with other shrews at most. She didn't expect that this student who seemed to have no opinion would also refute her. She suddenly became furious: (He is worthy of quarreling with me?!)

"I'm telling you! Don't be so loud with me! I've seen a lot of people like you who have no manners! And you interrupted others when they were talking. Didn't your parents teach you not to interrupt others casually?!"

As soon as she said this, Jiang Tianwei suddenly burst into tears. Her cry was hoarse and hysterical, but it was insincere. Anyone could tell that it was fake crying, which is what we often say "thunder without rain". This crying made her upset and she angrily said, "Why are you crying!"

“I’m crying for you! So you don’t have parents, you’re an orphan... No, an orphan! I didn’t even know... Ugh, you’re so miserable, you don’t have parents! That’s why you don’t know how to interrupt others casually!”

Although this woman was very good at throwing tantrums, Jiang Tianwei also had many insidious tricks. It was just that he was too embarrassed to use them on weekdays because he was concerned about his face. But today, facing such an unreasonable person, there was no need for him to be so polite!

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm going to tear your mouth apart!"

It was obvious that Yi Er San's mother was about to explode when she heard this, her voice was as sharp as a boiling kettle. And words alone were no longer enough to satisfy her. She waved her arms angrily and was about to put her...

"I said."

Suddenly, a priest appeared from the side and stopped Dongxiang Ichirsan's mother with a low voice.

"This is where the believers practice meditation, please don't make loud noises here."

The priest's voice made her glare and also made Jiang Tianwei sigh inwardly.

As long as this woman dared to attack him, he could justify the "self-defense". Because of his stepfather, it was more difficult for him to prove his innocence at the judicial level than ordinary people. Therefore, this kind of performance was necessary.

Attract everyone's attention, and then let the other party attack him first in public. Of course, Jiang Tianwei didn't punch for nothing. He knew exactly where to hit without leaving bruises, but could make the other party scream in pain.

As a result, the appearance of the priest interrupted his wishful thinking.

Yi Er San's mother wanted to continue scolding the priest, but suddenly she saw the cross on the priest's chest. Then she realized that she was not on the street but in the church. Because of her scolding, the ascetic believers looked at her with angry eyes, and some young people even took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

She was determined to make Dongxiang Yiersan a star, and of course she knew the importance of such reputation. Seeing that she was about to be criticized by thousands of people, she could only snort and said angrily: "What a rotten place! They only favor outsiders! We will never come to such a rubbish place again!"

Having said that, he took Yi Er San's hand and left without looking back... Dong Xiang Yi Er San couldn't help but look back at the church with a complicated expression. Just like the princess kidnapped by the villain in those fantasy stories...

Chapter 207 What is a light bulb? (Tactical retreat)

Jiang Tianwei returned to the familiar Sixuan Teahouse, but did not go home directly.

Although there is sufficient funding now, Dr. Takemi has not stopped his drug testing work.

Although he did this job for money at first, his mentality changed after he awakened his persona. In addition, his understanding of Takemiya became deeper and deeper, and he also knew more and more clearly that she was actually doing a great thing.

Of course, Jiang Tianwei went to her place today for another matter...

That's a physical examination.

Although this classification is not rigorous enough, Jiang Tianwei believes that the attitude towards physical examination can be used to distinguish whether the mental state is young.

Most young people have a careless attitude towards physical examinations and don't care much about it. You can say that they are young and energetic, or you can say that they are strong and healthy.

As people get older, they start to worry about their health.

Jiang Tianwei himself didn't care much about the physical examination. But, didn't he just do something dangerous recently? Yes, he merged with the devil. Although it was a last resort at the time, and he had to do it for the sake of victory, and although there was the example of Fang Zexia's successful fusion...but now the more he thinks about it, the more scared he feels.

He really wanted to know if his body had mutated. Although it looked like his arms were arms and his legs were legs, didn't the zombies in the game also look like humans?

"If you want a physical examination, you should go to a big hospital instead of mine."

When Wu Jianmiao saw that it was Jiang Tianwei who came, he was not interested at all. He lowered his head and continued to write the equations that Jiang Tianwei could not understand on the list. His tone was as lazy as ever and he had no motivation.

But after being together for such a long time, Jiang Tianwei also understood that her tone was only because she had put all her energy into solving a difficult and complicated disease.

Jiang Tianwei had thought about going to a big hospital for a checkup, but this involved a problem...

If the physical examination was normal, it would be fine. But if some items were found to be not up to human standards, wouldn't they be treated as real guinea pigs and sliced ​​for research? At least that's what it says in novels. Jiang Tianwei didn't want to take that risk.

Wu Jianmiao lowered her head and wrote something for a while. When she raised her eyelids, she saw Jiang Tianwei was still there. The dim light cast a long shadow, blocking her pen. She could only shake her head helplessly and flicked her finger at the side door: "Go in."

Of course Jiang Tianwei quickly followed in. He could now put on that set of scarlet armor out of thin air in reality. No matter how you thought about it, this was not an ability that a human should have.

The contents of the physical examination were naturally similar. Several tubes of blood were drawn, and I had no idea what they were for. Then, some testing instruments with various metal sheets were attached to the body, which an outsider could not understand.

The results of the physical examination naturally need several hours to be tested. During this time, Wu Jianmiao will certainly not let go of this excellent little white mouse... She took a cup of strange-looking potion and handed it to Jiang Tianwei. Jiang Tianwei has also seen a lot of storms during this period and is not afraid of anything. He took it and drank it in one gulp, and then continued to chat with Wu Jianmiao.

As for the content of the chat... naturally, it was about asking if they could provide another batch of that [original potion].

Especially the energy potion. Whenever Jiang Tianwei was exhausted from exploring, he would take a sip to quickly replenish his energy. Although the effect was not as good as the advertisement of a certain bar: one sip would make you energetic immediately, but it was definitely worth it.

Wu Jianmiao raised his eyebrows with interest and said, "That thing, what do you want to do here?"

"Haha, prepare for the exam."

Jiang Tianwei said casually, Wu Jianmiao curled his lips and showed a look of contempt: "You young people, can't you think of any other excuses?"

"...Actually, I use it to replenish my energy. My goal is to become the 'Emperor of the Night'!"

Hearing the joking tone in Jiang Tianwei's voice, Wu Jianmiao also smiled rarely. He used his slender fingers and tapped Jiang Tianwei's head hard with his little finger with black manicure. Although it didn't hurt much, Jiang Tianwei still cried out "ouch".

"You are a little brat. If you want to tell dirty jokes like this to adults, you still have ten years to go."

Jiang Tianwei smiled awkwardly: "Then I will be the midnight emperor, then it will only take five years?"

“Math is pretty good.”

Wu Jianmiao retorted and said nothing more. He continued to write something in the notebook. Jiang Tianwei asked curiously, "What is this?"

"It's the ingredient of a new drug - but you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

This is true. Jiang Tianwei is very self-aware. After all, medicine is generally recognized as difficult to learn. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a saying: "If you persuade people to study medicine, God will strike you with lightning"...

In Jiang Tianwei's opinion, no normal high school would offer medical courses. This high school student who even gets a headache when seeing the English names of chemical reaction formulas and various elements in biological materials, it would be better to kill him with a knife than to let him study the equations of unknown drugs.

(Speaking of which, although I don’t understand it, is there anyone who knows this stuff?)

Jiang Tianwei suddenly thought of his previous operations. Many things are like this: you can never think of it before you do it. But after you do it for the first time, your mind opens up.

He had never thought of using the power of the devil so frequently before. Now, when he encountered a problem, his first reaction was to find a way to understand the devil and solve it...
