Persona: Devil Summoner

Thanks to the one-eyed demon elephant Kilimekara's perfect human shield, its huge body protected Jiang Tianwei and Fang Zexia behind it without retreating a step! Although everyone was like a small boat in the Pacific Ocean encountering a strong thunderstorm, swaying, stumbling, and stumbling, in the end they still remained standing, like a figurehead proudly facing the stormy waves.

The Hydra was struggling in pain, and any exaggerated outbursts of violence that landed on Kilimekara's body would be rebounded by the devil's unique laws, with all the damage falling on itself.

It is truly worthy of the legendary poison. Even the nine-headed snake Hydra itself could not withstand such a fierce poison. Its body moved slower and slower, and its strength became weaker and weaker. The end of this earth-shattering level of violence was that Hydra lay dying on the ground, lifeless. From the occasional twitching of the snake's body, it could be seen that it still maintained its vitality.

"It's dead?"

Fang Zexia poked her head out from the side and confirmed that Xu Dela was already struggling to survive. She couldn't help but show joy and patted Jiang Tianwei lightly: "Great, my Jiang Jiang! You finally learned to fight without relying on level crushing!"

Fang Zexia's words, which were mixed with joy and insult, made Jiang Tianwei recall his experience of playing Pokémon back then:

In the era when GBA emulators were just emerging and Pokémon was still translated as Pocket Monsters, he, as a fledgling newbie, only caught the monsters that looked good, only used offensive skills, and had no auxiliary skills. What should he do if he couldn't win? Level up, level up, and level up again!

In the end, because he couldn't find the waterfall climbing technique, he forcibly pulled a level 93 monster and successfully defeated the Four Heavenly Kings who had an average level of 60. Due to the unreasonable team structure, he was almost killed by the champion.

"yes……"

Jiang Tianwei let out a long sigh, as if all the dark history of the past had disappeared with this successful tactical layout. There was only a calm pride in his eyes.

Fang Zexia noticed that his tone was so casual, and knew that he didn't understand the meaning of her words. Oftentimes, men are like this, not sensitive enough to [subtle changes in wording]. Fang Zexia knew very well that he was this kind of person. Although he was not wooden, he was not very sensitive either, so sometimes, he had to give him more advice.

"So, aren't you going to go up and give it a fatal blow? My Jiang Jiang!"

"Well, I see."

Jiang Tianwei nodded, and the spear in his hand turned a circle, and fell steadily in his hand. He walked out from behind the demon elephant and stabbed Xu Dela's skull with a gun. At this moment, he was like a reaper, strolling past and shooting a head with a gun.

(I wonder if there will be anything good in cutting open the body of this giant snake? Not to mention a national treasure-level divine sword, or a five-poison bead or something like that, at least a snake gallbladder to replenish my internal energy would be great, right?)

While thinking this, Jiang Tianwei broke open the wreckage of Xudela.

Fang Zexia was silent, her lips pouted high, and her nostrils were breathing heavily like an angry bull. She now understood more and more why many girls didn't like to watch harem animations - because the male protagonists of most harem animations were "dumb as a chicken", and it was too annoying to meet such a stubborn person in real life!

After a while, just as Fang Zexia was struggling with how to make Jiang Tianwei notice that she added the modifier "my" in front of his name, Jiang Tianwei had already dealt with the remains of Xudela.

Naturally, there was nothing he wanted, and the giant snake just lost its life.

Although it’s not as beautiful a solution as the legendary Hercules, it is a solution at least. Why must we pursue perfection?

I watched as the huge snake's body turned into a ball of black mud and merged into the ground, leaving behind only a passage full of holes and cracks.

"Let's go, let's go back?"

Jiang Tianwei looked at Fang Zexia who was in a bad mood and knew that she was sulking again. But the problem was that he really didn't understand why she was angry. He could only say that he was really a rookie when it came to love... So, after thinking for a long time, he could only come up with the idea of ​​returning home.

Fang Zexia nodded, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, and she said, "I want to ride your motorcycle."

"Uh... no problem."

Jiang Tianwei didn't dare to ask her why she wanted to ride a motorcycle when she had wings and could fly, for fear of "falling down", so he quickly summoned his own motorcycle. Anyway, this thing didn't need to be refueled, and since she wanted to, what was wrong with letting her ride it?

Jiang Tianwei sat on top first, waiting for Fang Zexia to come behind him and hug his waist...

"Hey."

Fang Zexia made a lovely and pleasant sound, and with a light jump of her small body, she actually slipped through the gap between Jiang Tianwei's hands that were holding the handlebars!

Normally, on a two-person motorcycle, the rider is in the front and the passenger sits in the back. Unexpectedly, Fang Zexia actually got on from the front today. This composition is very similar to the composition of photos that young men and women loved when bicycles were first introduced to China in the last century.

On the "beam" of the bicycle, the girl sat sideways, and the boy held the handlebars with both hands, and his arms just protected the lady on the beam...

"Hey?"

Jiang Tianwei just uttered the word "ah" when Fang Zexia blocked his mouth with her little head, blocking the rest of the sentence in his throat. His brown hair exuded a faint sweet fragrance like fruit and cream. Maybe it was a trait after he merged with the fairy Pixie? It smelled very good.

"drive."

Because of this unique posture, Jiang Tianwei couldn't see her face. Her soft hair blocked his mouth. The butterfly wings behind Fang Zexia were particularly soft, like silk with body temperature. Unlike real butterfly wings, the beautiful colors on them would not fall into dust and stick to the body.

Because he couldn't see her face, he couldn't tell whether Fang Zexia's calm "drive" was cold, indifferent, or trying to suppress a smirk. After a little thought, Jiang Tianwei gave up thinking and obeyed her order directly. He turned the handlebars and drove her towards the entrance.

Less than ten minutes after the flaming motorcycle sped away... two women walked out from the depths of the cognitive space.

The two people's clothes, one black and one green, are very recognizable. The woman in black wears a black pointed hat that looks like a wizard's hat, and a few pieces of black cloth hang down to cover her body. Her skin is too white to look like a human, and she only wears simple cloth that slightly wraps her body, and a green scarf is tied around her neck.

The other person was obviously from a military family. She was wearing a set of azure female armor that perfectly protected her body. Her healthy wheat-colored skin was protected by the sturdy armor. She had short golden hair and a long cloak draped over her back.

The two people walked without making any sound, because their feet did not touch the ground at all. They moved in a floating manner.

"Well, I clearly felt the presence of Hydra...but he's not here?"

The blue-clad woman muttered.

"I guess he was knocked down."

The woman in black veil looked around the badly damaged passage and said this.

"Defeat... is it possible?! Did Hercules show up as well?! Great, I came here specifically to find him this time!"

The woman in blue armor looked pleased.

"This is really strange... Where did my stupid apprentice go? The chain ghost is not dead, and there are no signs of him being killed. I thought that with his warmongering personality, he would not miss an enemy like Xudela, but he is not here either?"

It was obvious that the woman in black and the woman in blue armor were both looking for someone, one was looking for Hercules, and the other was looking for her apprentice. Maybe that was the reason they were together?

"Don't worry, Ms. Scathach. As long as we look for it carefully, we will definitely find it."

"With the assurance of the Moon Goddess [Artemis], it really makes me feel at ease."

The two women looked at each other, and Artemis in blue armor smiled brightly. Scathach, the woman in black, smiled slightly in response, then immediately put away her smile: "Well, since we have confirmed that Hydra has disappeared, let's continue looking for her. - I can feel strange traces of magic from here, I will try to track it down."

"Oh! Please! Lady Scathach, that must be the aura of Hercules!"

Chapter 319 Waiting is also a tactic

After leaving the cognitive space and returning home, Jiang Tianwei finished a series of tests with Wu Jianmiao, and then he lay down on the bed tiredly. Listening to the rustling sounds coming from Wu Jianmiao in the living room, it was like white noise that gradually relaxed his mind.

In a state of half-sleep, the matter about Medjade came out of his mind like a venomous snake, leaving him at a loss.

After all, that's a world-class hacker organization, and it's definitely not something a high school student like me can deal with.

So, he chose to believe...

Who to believe?

Everyone who believes in Naoto's companions, the Shadow Walkers.

I also believe that Goro Akechi will try his best to gain my trust and will definitely rack his brains to solve this problem.

So all he needs now is to wait.

But soon, the suffering was over.

beep...beep...

There was a slight vibration from the phone...

Jiang Tianwei's hazy eyes could hardly open. He yawned and lazily opened his phone...

It's an email.

"I have returned to China. The investigation has made some progress. See you at the secret base after school tomorrow."

As usual, the wording was concise, and the situation was explained in just a few sentences, which immediately made Jiang Tianwei alert. His eyes widened and his sleepiness disappeared by 70% on the spot.

There is only one person who would talk to me in this tone!

That's Bai Zhongzhidou!

Great! Detective Naoto is finally back!

Oh yes, speaking of the secret base, because Jiang Tianwei left the team, Yu Gonglian and his team naturally could not continue to use the store that was under renovation. It seemed that they now regarded Yu Gonglian's room on the second floor of Lubulan as a secret base.

Naturally, the original secret base was used by Jiang Tianwei alone.

Jiang Tianwei had asked her to investigate two things recently, one was about her father, and the other was about Mejed. No matter which one was successful, it was worth being happy about. It is said that people feel happy when they have good things to do, and Jiang Tianwei was so happy now.

However, this kind of emotion is not good before going to bed... being too excited will make it difficult to fall asleep.

"Why are you suddenly excited? Did a girl send you a message? You really are a nocturnal guinea pig."

Wu Jianmiao's voice complained faintly from the living room. Jiang Tianwei smiled awkwardly and said quickly, "No, no, it was the detective I asked to help. He said he had some news."

"Oh."

Wu Jianmiao responded, and continued to quickly tap the laptop keyboard with his green fingers, making a crisp sound. Just when Jiang Tianwei was about to sleep, Wu Jianmiao suddenly asked, "Is she a female detective?"

"…This kind of thing isn't important, right?"

Jiang Tianwei evaded awkwardly. Wu Jianmiao dragged out the word and hummed.

He waited anxiously for Wu Jianmiao to make another comeback, but it seemed that she had indeed lost interest. Jiang Tianwei then breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go to bed.

However, he only paid attention to Takemiya, but did not notice that Yoshizawa Kasumi, who was floating at the head of his bed, had her arms folded across her chest, a serious look on her face, and her brows were furrowed, thinking seriously: (Miss Naoto... I have always taken it for granted that she is also a woman and is very familiar with Jiang Jiang!)

With two women thinking about their own things, Jiang Tianwei didn't know how he fell asleep. He was in a daze until the next day. He almost skipped to school, went to class, had lunch, and attended afternoon classes as usual. Then, as soon as school was over, he rushed to the secret base at full speed...

But many times when you want to go faster, the subway won’t allow it, and as a result, it took Jiang Tianwei almost an hour to get to the secret base.

Surprisingly, the door lock was already unlocked. Considering that Baek Jong-nai-doo had secretly made a copy of his house key before, it was probably her who did it this time too?

However, there was still the possibility of a thief, so Jiang Tianwei tiptoed, opened the door and walked in.

Sure enough, Bai Zhong Zhidou was busy in the room.

She was wearing a long burnt brown trench coat in the style of Sherlock Holmes, and was exploring around with an antique-shaped metal detector in her hand. When she noticed Jiang Tianwei coming in, she did not rush to speak, but continued to explore the suspicious places until the exploration was completely finished. Only then did she seem to breathe a sigh of relief and sat down at the table.

"Is there any coffee?"

"No, I'll buy it?"

"Go quickly and come back quickly."

Bai Zhongzhidou was really rude. Jiang Tianwei thought she would say something like "Forget it if you don't have it."

Fortunately, this is a commercial street. If it is canned coffee, there are vending machines everywhere. In less than a few minutes, Jiang Tianwei came back with two cans of coffee.

"How is it? Is there any progress?"

Bai Zhongzhidou didn't rush to answer him. He pulled the pull ring and gulped down a few big mouthfuls of coffee. Then she said slowly, "It's Meijiede... Strictly speaking, both have progressed. It's just that the other one is a little bigger."

Jiang Tianwei said "oh", expecting her to continue. If Bai Zhongzhidou was Zhuge Liang, then he would be at most Zhang Fei's intelligence level, so he should not make a fool of himself and just watch her performance quietly.

"Let's talk about your father first. In a nutshell, we didn't find anything particularly valuable. When your family moved to Japan, he seemed to have taken all the research materials with him. I'd like to ask, did your mother ever mention the research materials to you?"

"No.".

"Exactly what I thought."

Bai Zhong Zhidou took another big sip of coffee and continued, "But fortunately, although we didn't find any paper materials, we did find a laptop computer abandoned by your father. It seemed to be broken, so it was thrown in the corner of the utility room. But Kirijo senior said that it might be able to be repaired, so I asked her to take it away for research first."

"Who is Kirijo-senpai?"

"That's the one who apologized to you on the phone before."

"oh!".

Jiang Tianwei remembered it as soon as she said that. People's memory is like this, it is easier to remember what they have done than a dry name.

"If the storage media inside is not damaged, it will probably be quick to find some backups of the documents. - Then let's talk about Medjed."

Bai Zhongzhi changed the subject, and Jiang Tianwei also focused his attention. This was what he was most curious about at the moment.

Medjad, an international hacker organization that comes and goes without a trace, inexplicably found the Phantom Thieves. Why did they do this? What benefits will they get from doing this? In addition to these curious contents, there is another crucial question: Who are their real identities?

As long as you can get the name, if the distortion is not serious enough, you can change your mind from the cognitive space. If the distortion is very serious, a palace will be generated.

No matter what, the name is of utmost importance.

"Mejed, we don't have accurate intelligence at the moment. These hackers are very good at disguising themselves. Based on the intelligence search by our reliable network experts, we can preliminarily determine that Mejed's current headquarters should be located in Rome, the capital of Italy."

(Rome... the enemy this time is actually in a foreign country... this is truly the first step in the internationalization of the Phantom Thieves.).

Jiang Tianwei thought so with some excitement.

However...what Jiang Tianwei could never have imagined...was the unexpected assassin that he encountered!

Chapter 320 I know the moon in foreign countries is not rounder

When it comes to foreign countries, people generally have a mysterious expectation. That is to say, the moon is rounder in foreign countries.
