Persona: Devil Summoner

The two asked each other where the APP came from, but no one could explain it, as if it was fate.

Chapter 30 The Envied Doctor

Soon, Jiang Tianwei and Amamiya Lian separated.

Both of them were the type who didn't like to actively start conversations. As they sat face to face, they soon became extremely awkward and speechless. Jiang Tianwei felt sorry for the money, so he quickly stopped talking about this topic that had nothing to talk about. He didn't have any spare money to waste in the Internet cafe.

After exchanging contact information, Jiang Tianwei went straight to the Takemi Internal Medicine Clinic.

Although the previous battle took place in the palace of the mind, the injuries received would still be reflected in one's body to a certain extent.

During the battle, Jiang Tianwei was bumped many times by that damn red knight and stabbed several times with a spear, leaving many wounds on his body.

It seems that because of the persona, these wounds are not as exaggerated as imagined. Otherwise, with the injuries from being hit by the horse several times, he would probably be covered with bruises all over.

Anyway, it hurts a lot now... I have to go see a doctor and get some painkillers.

Unexpectedly, Wu Jianmiao was not waiting for trial in the outer hall today, which meant that someone had arrived before Jiang Tianwei.

Although it is not very kind to say bad things behind someone's back... But in fact, Wu Jianmiao has a bad reputation in this community. First of all, her way of dressing, have you ever seen a doctor wearing riveted clothes to work? Secondly, the medicines she prescribed are not available in some large hospitals, and you can't even find them on the Internet, which makes it even more suspicious. Jiang Tianwei chose to work here before because he heard the crazy rumors about her, saying that she would test drugs on people...

It was fortunate that the Witch Trial disappeared hundreds of years ago, otherwise these residents would have really tied Takemiya to the cross and burned him at the stake.

Because of this, this internal medicine hospital is usually deserted, but unexpectedly, there are people coming for treatment today...

"How many times have I told you! Don't make that kind of troublesome medicine!"

Even through the door, you could hear the explosive anger in the man's voice.

"Huh? I don't know what you're going to say."

Similarly, even through the door, Wu Jianmiao's response could be heard.

The quality of this wooden door is up to standard. This behavior only shows that both parties are so angry that they don't care about anything else.

"Don't think I don't know! You are the only one who can develop that kind of medicine! 'As long as you drink that, you will emerge with power beyond common sense'! This rumor is no longer a secret! Do you dare to say that you have nothing to do with it?"

"You really like to spread rumors."

"You randomly mix drugs and ignore the standards of modern science. How much trouble do you want to cause me? Although the police have not taken any action, if the media catches you..."

"You're so annoying, I'm just a quack doctor..."

"Humph, how much more do you want me to lose face! A doctor like you is simply bringing shame to the academic clique! You are a disgrace to the academic clique!!"

"Well……"

Behind the door, Wu Jianmiao's momentum weakened, and he was obviously suppressed by the other party.

"What's that expression on your face? It's all your fault. That kid... Listen carefully, criminals are not allowed to appear in the school clique! Get rid of all the medicines immediately, and stop being a doctor. From now on, the name Wu Jianmiao is not allowed to..."

The sound behind the door stopped abruptly. Jiang Tianwei was wondering when he suddenly noticed that there was a frosted glass on the door! It was like a KTV. Although the two sides couldn't see each other's faces clearly through the glass, they could still clearly see a figure!

"Who! Who's outside?"

Jiang Tianwei frowned. He was already unhappy that his acquaintance was picked on in such a unilateral way. Now that the other party transferred the anger to himself, he was even more unhappy.

"I'm here to see a doctor."

Jiang Tianwei returned unhappily.

Click.

The door opened.

A middle-aged man in a suit and tie, who looked like a member of the social elite, stood at the door. He said in a condescending tone, "Don't come here again! There is something wrong with this hospital!"

"What's your attitude?"

Before he could continue speaking, Jiang Tianwei interrupted him.

"Is this how you talk to a patient? What's your name? I'm going to file a complaint against you! Yelling at a patient? Are you trying to intimidate me? Intimidate a middle school student? Could it be that you have something to do with that scam gang that's been going viral in Shibuya lately and specifically targets middle school students?!"

Jiang Tianwei spoke rapidly, quickly took out his cell phone and dialed the police station.

When the other party saw that he had called the police, he knew that he was in the wrong, especially since he had yelled at Wu Jianmiao, but if he spoke to a student who came to see a doctor like that and was taken away by the police, it would definitely be his own fault... He was the kind of self-proclaimed elite who valued his reputation, so he naturally would not allow his reputation to be damaged. Besides, his goal of coming here to warn Wu Jianmiao was accomplished, and there was no need to confront this brat. Thinking of this, he snorted coldly and quickly said, "I'm not a doctor in this clinic! I, I'm leaving! You can do whatever you want!" Then he walked out quickly.

On the other end of the line, Jiang Tianwei hung up before the police station even answered the call. He proudly waved his broken phone to Wu Jianmiao, which said "call ended" on it.

Wu Jianmiao smiled and said, "I don't repair cell phones here... But thank you for this time, little guinea pig. If you are here to test the medicine, the effect of the medicine from the past two days has not been digested yet, right? Let's talk about it next time."

"Well... Actually, I said I was here to see a doctor. This is not an excuse..."

Jiang Tianwei smiled awkwardly, walked in, took off the upper body of his uniform very skillfully, and let Wu Jianmiao take a look at his body.

Wu Jianmiao is a doctor after all. Although he specializes in internal medicine, he can tell at a glance the extent of Jiang Tianwei's injuries...

"Bruises...stab wounds...are you involved in a street fight?"

Wu Jianmiao frowned, his eyes full of unhappiness.

"I never could tell that Dr. Takemi actually cares about you!"

Fang Zexia, who had been watching the show in silence, suddenly jumped out to tease him. It seemed that Fang Zexia liked to make fun of herself more and more. Jiang Tianwei thought so and heard Wu Jianmiao continue:

"But that has nothing to do with me. Let's not interfere with each other, right? - But you are my important guinea pig, so don't ruin your health."

Wu Jianmiao said as he opened the drawer, took out a dozen plasters of unknown ingredients, and slapped them on Jiang Tianwei. This strong slap without any tenderness or care made him grimace in pain.

"It's okay for it to hurt. Don't get hurt so much next time."

Wu Jianmiao knew that Jiang Tianwei had hidden motives - few people who came to her for medicine had no hidden motives - but she didn't care. After all, they were just using each other.

"By the way, doctor, can you sell me some of this ointment, or any other medicine for healing injuries?"

"...You didn't take my previous instructions to heart? Forget it, you are my important guinea pig. As long as you pay me."

Wu Jianmiao's words made Jiang Tianwei smile brightly. As expected, with Wu Jianmiao and himself caring about this matter, it would be very simple...

Then, Jiang Tianwei took the list of medicines given by Wu Jianmiao...

"Well, we are all so familiar with each other, can you give me a discount, sister?"

"No."

At this moment, Jiang Tianwei deeply realized that his relationship with Wu Jianmiao was not as strong as he had imagined!

Chapter 31 Test

Money is valuable, but love is the most precious. If it is for freedom, both can be thrown away.

Jiang Tianwei suddenly felt that this long-standing saying was a little wrong. It would be more cost-effective if the word "freedom" in the above saying was changed to "life".

The price list of medicines that Wu Jianmiao wrote out for him really shocked him, but fortunately he did have some savings from working.

But, as mentioned before, he has his own dreams, but now, a very realistic problem lies before him: whether to embezzle this deposit.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Jiang Tianwei still bought it. This is a very simple logical thinking problem. What is my core goal? Find the mastermind who caused my family to be destroyed. So, how to find it? Of course, start from the cognitive space I just learned. Then, I must inevitably fight in the cognitive space, and fighting will inevitably get hurt. If I die, there will be nothing, so life-saving drugs are necessary.

This is why he just sighed in his heart about the famous saying that has been passed down through the ages.

If someone often plays role-playing video games, they will definitely be very clear about the effects of drugs. Especially in that cognitive space, the thought "I think this drug can save lives" will indeed greatly optimize the efficacy of the drug.

No matter what time it is, you have to put a lot of recovery medicine in your bag. This is a common problem among role-playing game players. As for you finishing the game and still have a lot of magic medicine lying around? That's your own mentality problem, don't blame the medicine.

In Jiang Tianwei's personal room, Fang Zexia looked at him curiously as he packed his things, stuffing the large backpack that seemed to be carried by people in sports clubs with the medicine he had just bought, fast food from the convenience store, and the water pipe that he used as a weapon.

It was obvious that he was preparing for battle.

"You, do you want to go to the palace of that teacher called Duck Something alone?"

Fang Zexia asked curiously.

Jiang Tianwei smiled and said, "I'm not that stupid."

As a person who is determined to devote himself to the video game production industry, he knows too well how many NPCs are like this, "I absolutely cannot let him go!", and they break into the maze without listening to advice, and end up forcing the protagonist to rescue them.

After talking with Amamiya Ren before, he found that his phone also had the so-called other world navigation inexplicably added, which was the icon that looked like a big eye. He could enter Mr. Kamoshida's palace at any time to explore.

Well, now that we have the [means], it’s clear what we need to do next, right?

“This is a test. It’s a test.”

Jiang Tianwei put on his shoulder bag, smiled mysteriously at Fang Zexia, and walked out of the door with the bag.

The policeman patrolling the street saw Jiang Tianwei and nodded to him in a friendly manner: "Are you going to the gym today too?"

Generally speaking, if the police see students wandering the streets during this time, they will go up and question them. But Jiang Tianwei often goes out at night, after all, he has a part-time job at night. The police station knows that this kid has difficulties, so they don't pay much attention to him.

After briefly greeting the police, Jiang Tianwei boarded the tram towards school... Just as expected, the school was empty at this time.

He opened the navigation of the other world, and as expected, the school looked like a mirage, turning into a medieval castle.

This is Jiang Tianwei’s destination tonight.

What's the first thing you should do after you get special powers?

Many people might say that it can be used to save the world, or to make a profit, but Jiang Tianwei gave a completely different answer...

Of course, you should test your own power first! I have to sigh here that some animations really teach people some good things. Jiang Tianwei thought so, completely referring to the practice of a prince with a sister complex who was sent to Area 11 in the Holy Britannia Empire.

First of all, I need to figure out what my persona is and what its abilities are. How long can I drive it to fight? And how do I use the demon summoning program? Are there any restrictions? And how do I merge demons? And why are there only Kasumi Yoshizawa and Pixie in the list of summoned demons? How do I add more? If I have to buy them with money, where can I transfer the money?

Everything is unclear, so can you trust this thing? What if it fails at the critical moment?

Therefore, a thorough investigation is needed...

"Well, [a teacher is someone who teaches, imparts knowledge and resolves doubts], so, Mr. Kamoshida, I have so many questions that I can only rely on your careful guidance."

------------

The sound of galloping footsteps echoed in the empty hall, and the heavy roar tore through the peace.

"Quick! Come to support! The lobby! The lobby needs support!!!"

The knights guarding the castle roared like this, making the already chaotic situation even more chaotic.

"Go call for support, come on, call for more!!!"

As if he was waiting for him to finish shouting, as the knight roared loudly, Jiang Tianwei waved his left hand, and Fang Zexia swooped down from the air like a falcon, and her slender fingers pressed accurately on the mask on the knight's face!

Swish!

As she exerted force on her wrist, the mask was torn off!

Then, the knight's armor twitched, and a large amount of black mud gushed out from the inside, instantly engulfing the armored knight. In its place, there was a black horse with green horns that looked like sheep's horns! This monster was named the two-horned beast in European legends, which was really very appropriate.

Or is it because this saying came first that such a monster was born?

None of that matters.

Jiang Tianwei cares more about the result than the reason.

Although I don't understand the principle, it is obvious that by tearing off the mask, I can force the enemy to change his appearance.

And facing these monsters...

"persona!"

Jiang Tianwei shouted in a low voice, and wiped the mask on his face with his fingers. The plain white mask was instantly stained with cinnabar-like blush on the cheeks and lips, and the area around the eyes was even redder...

If you are familiar with Peking Opera, you can tell at a glance that this is a common way of painting female facial makeup in Peking Opera.

As the mask makeup changed, the metal giant behind Jiang Tianwei also underwent drastic changes. His huge body became thin, and he was wrapped in a plain white robe and a cloud-patterned bridal robe. No matter how you looked at it, he was different from the metal giant that Jiang Tianwei had summoned before, who was known for his strength!

This is the characteristic of Jiang Tianwei's persona [Xiang Yao].

What kind of monster is Xiang Yao? It is a monster with nine heads in the legend! We all know that a person has one face, so he can only wear one mask... On the other hand, if he has nine heads... then he can wear nine masks, right?

Persona is a reflection of the user's inner world, and to a certain extent reflects the user's life and desires. Judging from the characteristics of changing faces at will and actively adapting to the battlefield environment, Jiang Tianwei seems to have gotten used to this kind of smooth-talking approach... Or is it that he actually longs for it deep down in his heart? Only psychologists would know.

"Incarnation - Bai Suzhen! Go!"

Following Jiang Tianwei's order, a metal fairy transformed into a woman danced in the air, swinging her long sleeves, as if a goddess descended from heaven. The air burst with crackling lightning sounds, and as she danced, she turned into a bow and arrow and flew away! Lightning broke through the air! Only a burst of fresh air was left behind!

"Ahhhh!"

The black horse hit by the lightning not only fell to its knees, it was obvious that lightning was its weakness. Jiang Tianwei took the opportunity to rush forward and was about to swing the water pipe to give it a fatal blow...

"Wait! Don't, don't kill me! Come, let's make a deal! What do you want?! Tell me!"
