Persona: Devil Summoner

As soon as he went out, Jiang Tianwei sighed.

Shin Niijima asked, "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly sigh?"

Jiang Tianwei shook his head: "I just realized that I forgot something..."

"What did you forget?"

As soon as Niijima finished speaking, he suddenly felt that he had guessed something, and his face turned pale in an instant...

"President, you pulled me out here to test your courage, didn't you?"

"Ah, ahahaha, I, I think that sister just now seems to need you more than I do. My business is not very important. Ahahaha, no, it's okay..."

"How can this be possible? For us Chinese people, reputation is the most important thing. Come on! President! Let's go to the haunted house!"

"No! What kind of jumping thoughts are you having? And what you said about valuing credibility must be fake! You just want to see me make a fool of myself!"

"Yup!"

"You actually admitted it so confidently?!"

"So - come on, President!"

According to the convention of reading comprehension in Chinese language exams, each article should have a central idea of ​​the author. So there is no doubt that the central idea of ​​this large chapter is "Don't forget your original intention".

Congratulations, congratulations.

Chapter 219 The Demon God Who is Good at Medicine

Jiang Tianwei really couldn't understand Shinjima's fear of ghosts.

Mainly... Others are fine, but think about it carefully. The things that the Phantom Thieves defeated in the cognitive space on a daily basis, in a sense, aren't they also monsters? Why can you punish those things with an iron fist, but not ghosts? Isn't this a kind of discrimination?

This reminded Jiang Tianwei of an old Hong Kong movie he had watched before. There was a very interesting plot in the movie, where a few people who were being chased by a ghost were discussing how to escape. Suddenly, someone said, "Why are we afraid of ghosts?"

Then the group of people analyzed it carefully, and thought, yes, why should we be afraid of ghosts? So a few people rushed out, and they forced the ghost to run away...

With Shinjima's iron fists, why should she be afraid of ghosts? It's the ghosts who should be afraid of her.

Why did Jiang Tianwei have such an idea?

Ah, that was because this guy insisted on dragging people to the haunted house. In the end, Xindao Zhen resisted fiercely and failed to control the strength, and slapped Jiang Tianwei. The reason why it is called a slap instead of a slap is mainly because it didn't hit the face, but the shoulder...

When Jiang Tianwei got home and took off his shirt in front of the mirror, he saw a clear slap mark on his body...

"Good thing the president is not Chinese. If she had practiced Iron Sand Palm instead of Aikido, I would have died here..."

Jiang Tianwei sighed. Without Fang Zexia to provide him with jokes, he was just a weird boy who kept muttering to himself.

"But speaking of it..."

Jiang Tianwei looked at his body carefully in the mirror. Since he had never seen the bodies of people of his age, he didn't know whether his body was good or not. He could only say that he was neither fat nor thin. The strange blue-black lines seemed to be related to the war with demons. Because he had defeated three demons one after another, the blue lines had already covered his right hand and were beginning to move towards his wrist.

Unknown to him, a pair of blue-black lines similar to the shape of wings appeared on his back. However, due to the limited angle of the human neck, it was difficult for Jiang Tianwei to clearly see the lines on his back in the dressing mirror, and he could only guess the approximate shape.

"If Mr. Kawakami saw this, he would probably scold me."

He spoke casually, and suddenly Wu Jianmiao came to his mind.

Come to think of it, she seems to particularly like this kind of bad style stuff. Doctor Takemi is good in every way, except for this taste. He doesn't look like a doctor at all. Have you ever seen a doctor wearing a skull pendant?

"Come to think of it, I did think about trying to help Doctor Takemi..."

On weekdays, I was often taken care of by Dr. Wu Jian. This female doctor perfectly fits everyone's understanding of the profession of doctor. She was really happy to pay me. She really helped me a lot when I was poor. Now that people are suffering from the new drug, I should help if I can.

It's just that... Jiang Tianwei only thought of Doctor Wu Jian when he saw the strange green patterns on his body. This is the disadvantage of procrastination. Many things will be forgotten as soon as you procrastinate.

The first thing I did was to search online to find out which of the 72 demon gods of Solomon was proficient in medicine...

Why else would it be said that the Internet is indispensable to modern people? Jiang Tianwei firmly believed that if one day he traveled to another world - not to modern times, but to ancient times or the Middle Ages, he would definitely die of loneliness. It would be too painful not to be able to access the Internet.

Soon, he locked on his target.

Bivrons.

The 46th demon among the demons of Solomon, it is said that he is the Earl of the Dead who will only transform into a human form when requested. It is generally believed that he has a wealth of knowledge and will teach others astrology, herbal medicine, gems and plants. It is said that he also has the secret method of manipulating corpses.

But he has a quirk, which is that he likes to light lamps on tombstones... I guess it is a fusion of legends related to will-o'-the-wisp.

Actually, when searching, I found that there are other demons who are good at herbs among the 72 demons, such as Morax. However, there is a problem with Morax. The encyclopedia describes him as a monster with a bull's head... So whether I really summoned a minotaur or a handsome guy with rock attributes, it's no joke...

Now that the goal has been determined, the rest will be easy. Just, synthesize it?

To be honest, Jiang Tianwei still doesn't understand how the fusion function provided in this demon summoning program works, but there is no doubt that when you fuse A and B, you may give birth to a completely different C. If you fuse C with A or B, you can give birth to a different E or F...

Since you don’t know the specific rules, just make a blind match - what else?

It's just like when you play a mobile game and refresh the initial draw, can you predict what you will get next? No. Then you can only try again and again. Isn't this what people often call refreshing the initial draw?

Fortunately, Jiang Tianwei had good luck. After three or five combinations, he ran out of demons, so he went to the impression space in the Shibuya underground street to catch demons as materials. In just a few hours, he synthesized the demon he needed - [Fallen Angel] Bifrons.

In the demon summoning program, this Solomon's demon is a monster with a skull head, loose cylindrical curly hair like black dreadlocks, wearing a black suit and white shirt, and holding a lampstand in his hand.

The skull on his neck looked a bit like a fusion of a human skull and a sheep skull, but it was also different. It combined the characteristics of birds and other beasts, so it was impossible to tell what specific species it was.

His dark eye sockets always reminded Jiang Tianwei of those demons who loved to laugh...

"Contractor, what is your intention in summoning me..."

Although he was clearly a skull-headed monster, he spoke in a serious tone, and the candle in his hand was flickering. Although he had no expression on his face and no body movements, it seemed as if the flame was conveying his mood.

"Nothing much. I heard that you are proficient in knowledge related to herbs?"

"Of course."

"Do you know anything about medicine?"

"That's natural."

"That's easy. I have a friend who is struggling to develop a new drug and would like to ask for your help."

"Since this is the contractor's request, then I will accompany you. I wonder what disease you want to cure?"

"..."

Bifrons' question stumped Jiang Tianwei... Yes, that's right... He really didn't seem to know what disease Wu Jianmiao wanted to treat. It seemed that she mentioned it once or twice, but he really couldn't remember it... Who would have thought that he would use the name of this disease in the future?

"So, since you're developing a new drug, I wonder how the prescription is progressing?"

"..."

Jiang Tianwei was silent again... He really didn't know how far Wu Jianmiao had progressed...

This, what should I do?

Actually, if this Bifrons looked more like a human, it would be easy to deal with. At most, we could introduce it to Wu Jianmiao. But the problem is... this guy has a skull. Although I don't know if Wu Jianmiao is afraid of ghosts - judging from her personality, she is probably not afraid. But you can't explain to a doctor why a person with a skull on his head can still be alive.

This clearly subverts the most basic scientific foundations.

"...How about this, I'll invite her to my house later. You just hide in your room and never show up. I'll be responsible for tricking you into giving me this prescription."

"...I understand."

Although Bifrons' tone did not change, the slight pause still showed a bit of unhappiness. Jiang Tianwei could only bear with it for now.

Chapter 220: Traditional Chinese Medicine Cure All Diseases

Wu Jianmiao's clinic is generally open only until five or six in the evening, which is earlier than most clinics.

After all, everyone was saying that Doctor Wu Jianmiao was dangerous. Not only had he caused a major medical accident, but he also didn't dress like a doctor.

Strangely enough, people often develop stereotypes about a person or a thing based on some unfounded rumors, and they often don't analyze whether the rumor is true or false.

No one cares whether Wu Jianmiao is a dangerous doctor or not. Everyone says so, so she is. Even if I have never seen Wu Jianmiao, and I don't even know if he is a man or a woman, everyone says he is dangerous, so he is very dangerous.

Therefore, Wu Jianmiao's hospital has been short of patients for a long time, especially at night.

So she has gotten used to closing the shop early in the evening and going to the Le Blanc Cafe across the street to order a cup of coffee, or occasionally a bowl of curry, and spend some leisurely time by herself.

Although the development of new drugs has reached a bottleneck and he is extremely anxious, the more this happens, the more he should not push himself too hard. As a doctor, Wu Jianmiao understands this situation too well. Many people do not eat or sleep when they are anxious, and they say nicely: "I have to finish it even if I don't eat or sleep!"

But in fact, if you really do this, it will only cause trouble to others and doctors. In this state of extreme physical deficiency, you can't work with your full strength.

To use a mathematical example, it is like a person working 24 hours a day, but on average, the efficiency is only 30-40%, and accompanied by various mistakes. However, a person like Takemi Miyabi who maintains his mental and physical state to a perfect state can achieve 100% efficiency even if he only works eight hours a day. That is much more reliable than the person mentioned above.

Especially when it comes to developing new drugs, there is no room for error. Friends who like to pay attention to the history of science should know that many things in medicine are like this. Just because of a small mistake, if you don’t pay attention to it in the early stage, the entire research direction will be deviated. You will work hard on the wrong path for several years or even more than ten years without discovering it, and your time will be wasted.

Therefore, Wu Jianmiao absolutely did not want to take this shameful path. Therefore, she would never force herself to work to the limit, eat when she should eat, and rest when she should rest.

Whether to continue running the clinic after eating depends on your mood.

But usually, she would return to the clinic to continue developing new drugs. Even if no one came, she would keep the door open and do her research alone.

But today was a little special. She was still in that restaurant where few people came, drinking coffee in Lou Brown and listening to the news on TV that was not very explosive. Suddenly, Jiang Tianwei rushed in.

"Dr. Takemi, I saw you weren't in the clinic, so I guessed you were eating."

"Come to see me specially?"

Wu Jianmiao saw him coming and felt puzzled. He wondered when he became so active. Then he thought, oh, he might be here to ask for his medical examination report. It can only be said that young people nowadays are too impatient. He hadn't finished his medical examination report yet.

Hmm? You ask how much progress I have made? Yeah, I am working on it.

This shows that everyone has procrastination, but to different degrees. Wu Jianmiao was fully focused on developing new drugs, so naturally he had no energy to help Jiang Tianwei with the physical examination. He just thought that for a young man to have a physical examination, he looked healthy. What disease did he have? It was no matter when to check.

However, if your new drug is developed late, I don’t know how many patients will suffer one more day.

As the saying goes, a doctor is like a parent. Who doesn’t love his own children more than strangers?

"Let me make it clear first, the medical examination report hasn't come out yet."

Wu Jianmiao took a sip of coffee and spoke first to block Jiang Tianwei's mouth. Jiang Tianwei smiled and said, "I didn't come here for this matter. Seriously, doctor, were you researching a difficult new drug before?"

"Yes?"

Wu Jianmiao frowned in confusion, and the smoky makeup at the corners of her eyes reflected a look of confusion.

"I... I have a distant relative who is an old Chinese doctor who has been in the family for who knows how many generations. He is very good and can cure all kinds of diseases. You can find his advertisement on telephone poles. He is very reliable. Do you want to try to consult him?"

An old Chinese doctor? A cure for all diseases? An advertisement on a telephone pole?

As soon as these keywords came out, Wu Jianmiao's already confused face became even more confused. He thought, what's the connection? Why did they jump to the topic of old Chinese medicine?

Moreover, is it reliable? Why haven't I heard of any Chinese miracle doctor coming to Japan?

The most important thing is that Wu Jianmiao has been to big hospitals before. She has seen many people like this. They don't have strong skills, but they are all famous. No matter whether they can cure diseases or not, they just want to make a name for themselves first.

(Poor little white mouse... probably got tricked by someone.)

Wu Jianmiao thought so in his heart, sighed, shook his head, raised the coffee cup with slender fingers, and drank it all.

"Let's go and meet that old Chinese doctor who has inherited the tradition."

There was helplessness in Wu Jianmiao's tone.

What else could she do?

One look at Jiang Tianwei revealed that he was definitely not someone who was interested in medicine. The only reason why he asked an old Chinese doctor to come over was definitely to help him.

Wu Jianmiao lamented that he was too decadent and had fallen to the point where he needed care from a high school student. At the same time, he angrily scolded the "old Chinese doctor" he had never met in his heart, asking how shameless he was to cheat such an innocent child of his money.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it is at least a token of the child's love, and it would be a shame to see him being cheated in vain.

By that time, as soon as they met, Wu Jianmiao had already thought it through. He would give him a warning and throw out a bunch of advanced pharmaceutical knowledge to make the other party give up.

Anyway, it has been a long time since I have been hated. I have enough enemies in the medical field, so I am not afraid of having one more old Chinese doctor.

"Ugh?!"

Jiang Tianwei was stunned. He had prepared a lot of words to persuade Wu Jianmiao, but he didn't expect that Wu Jianmiao would agree so readily... All his preparations were in vain, and he felt like he had lost a lot...

But, if the result is good, everything will be fine... Jiang Tianwei could only comfort himself in this way and took Wu Jianmiao back to his low-rent housing.

"Hey~ It's quite clean. You can't tell it's the room of a man living alone."

Wu Jianmiao looked around and gave this comment with a smile. She took off her white coat and threw it on the sofa, then sat down with her legs crossed. Her well-proportioned, slender, white thighs were eye-catching. Jiang Tianwei didn't know where to look, so he could only talk about something else to change the subject...

Before Jiang Tianwei could say anything, Wu Jianmiao raised his hand to interrupt his greeting: "Where is the old Chinese doctor?"

"Biffer... ahem, Doctor Bi, I brought a friend here who needs your expertise."
