Persona: Devil Summoner

Considering the time difference between Japan and Rome, everyone deliberately chose a time to set off so that they could have a good time in Italy. Jiang Tianwei didn't understand the time difference, but for a top student like Shinjima, it shouldn't be a piece of cake to calculate this, right?

So, things turned out just as Jiang Tianwei had thought, and the group had a good time in Italy until they arrived at the hotel in the evening.

I don’t know if it was because he had untied a knot in his heart, but Jiang Tianwei just felt that Fang Zexia looked even more lovely than usual.

And, come to think of it... does this count as a foreign date?

But considering dating, generally, it's just one man and one woman, so a date with two men and four women seems a bit weird no matter how you think about it. It can only be considered a group action at best, right?

Jiang Tianwei didn't think about it anymore.

The hotel they stayed in was naturally arranged by the Tong Tiao family. It was a well-known hotel in the local area, and the name was hard to pronounce. After all, Italians would not deliberately write Italian in katakana or pronounce it in Chinese characters. Jiang Tianwei was too lazy to care about these.

Moreover, it seems that they know the existence of the artist Yusuke, so the hotel is geographically very close to the Colosseum and not far from the Cathedral of Santa Maria. After the Medjed incident is resolved, it will be convenient for Yusuke to visit nearby.

It can be seen that the professional quality of this hotel is excellent. They must have received batch after batch of leeks, no, they have received wave after wave of customers. Even if there is a language barrier, they can quickly provide room service to everyone in a mixture of sign language and English.

Jiang Tianwei thought: It would be a bit too extravagant for one person to stay in a hotel like this, so he was prepared to share a room with Kitagawa Yusuke.

Moreover, he was prepared. On the way to the hotel, he passed by a place and secretly bought a fancy-looking pendant. A coffin-like silver pendant was hung under a shining silver chain. There were skulls, roses, bat wings, dragon wings on the surface, and a lot of vine-like things wrapped around the outside.

It looked like the kind of holy relic that a middle school boy would be ecstatic about. If anyone got this thing, they would probably start to imagine whether they were a super hero from another world or something. Kitagawa Yusuke was not a middle school boy, but Jiang Tianwei estimated that he might be interested in the design of this thing. When the time comes, just let him draw it and everything will be solved.

However, Jiang Tianwei only guessed one thing correctly.

The Tong Tiao family did not provide a room for everyone.

They...just booked the entire hotel.

You see, this is what people often say about the difference between the ideas of common people and nobles. A petty-bourgeois person like Jiang Tianwei will never understand the money view of a rich girl like Kirijo Mitsuru from a large consortium. Jiang Tianwei suddenly recalled the classic movie line: "Why? I want to know why too! Why is my father not Li Ka-shing!"

In sharp contrast to the seemingly shabby streets, the hotel is as magnificent as a palace. Jiang Tianwei has given up thinking about it. Not long ago, he was still lamenting that he had no culture shock when he came to Italy. Now, look, it’s here!

Now Jiang Tianwei felt as if he had become the emperor of the ancient Roman Empire. This is probably what every adolescent boy has fantasized about, right? "If I were someone." The most common ones are: If I were the emperor, I would do this and that. If I were a certain minister, I would do this and that.

When Jiang Tianwei was in China, the topics he discussed with his classmates the most were: What if I were Guan Yu, what if I were Sun Wukong. After coming to Japan, he discussed every day what if I were Oda Nobunaga, what if I were Genji...

This proves that in the grand hotel in Rome, it is a different kind of feeling to imagine yourself as the Roman emperor.

(I will not become a great emperor like Hadrian, but at least I will not become a tyrant like Nero.)

Jiang Tianwei thought so. After all, middle school boys often know some cool religious names, such as Armageddon. And Emperor Nero is generally considered to be the origin of the 666 beast. Jiang Tianwei does know about this emperor - although the channels for his knowledge are mainly mobile games and encyclopedias.

To be honest, Jiang Tianwei envied the emperor mainly because he not only had power but also had three thousand beauties in his harem. He really couldn't appreciate Emperor Nero's behavior of killing his wife at every turn and finally starting to like men and even dressing himself up as a woman to please men.

I don't know if these things are true, but the encyclopedia says they are true. Emperor Nero won't really come out to sue me for defamation, so I'll just take it seriously. Anyway, Jiang Tianwei didn't plan to talk about these boring desires with any of his companions.

(No, no, what nonsense am I thinking about? I have a girlfriend, how can I think about my harem every day?)

Thinking of this, Jiang Tianwei changed into a bathrobe, walked out of his room and went to the roof.

Just like when people mention staying overnight in Japan, they always think of hot springs. When they come to such European and American hotels, the first thing that comes to mind is of course the huge swimming pool on the roof.

Jiang Tianwei was not very good at swimming, so he could only make sure he would not drown. He went to the rooftop just to use the cool water and night breeze to clear his mind.

I don’t know why, but ever since Jiang Tianwei came to Rome, he always felt that he seemed to particularly like thinking about things that cannot be discussed under the age of eighteen.

(Could it be that because I succeeded in my confession, I became arrogant? That's not good.)

Jiang Tianwei thought so, walked through the corridor, and prepared to go up the stairs...

Suddenly, in a trance, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a pair of beautiful legs.

Gu Long's novel describes the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, Lin Xian'er, saying that although she wore a mask, she took off one glove to seduce people, which made many people extremely obsessed and willing to be driven by her. Later, she exposed one thigh, which made people even more obsessed. When Jiang Tianwei read the novel, he couldn't understand why there would be such an idiot... Just looking at a part of it and being so obsessed! ? At least look at your face!

But just now, Jiang Tianwei felt his heart suddenly skip a beat, as if hit by something.

No wonder some people describe the feeling of being in love as being shot by Cupid's arrow. Jiang Tianwei feels that way now.

He couldn't help but look at it carefully: it was a pair of legs that could not be described in any flattering words, walking slowly up the stairs. A red gauze skirt embellished her body appropriately, covering her graceful body curves vaguely. She wore a particularly large red cloth veil on her head, with conical metal decorations on both sides, which looked very much like the head coverings that were popular in ancient Central Asia.

She seemed to be waiting for Jiang Tianwei, following him closely. Jiang Tianwei instinctively wanted to catch up with her...

Suddenly I found that although my legs were lifted up, I couldn’t walk out, as if my body was fixed.

Jiang Tianwei lowered his head and saw a silver cone piercing his heart, with sticky blood dripping down.

"Ah, I see. Just now I felt like my heart was shot. Actually, it wasn't me who was being fickle. I was really shot through, right?"

Jiang Tianwei then woke up from his pink thought circuit. When he looked at the stairs again, the peerless beauty with a pair of extremely beautiful legs was gone.

Jiang Tianwei let out a long breath, not sure whether it was a breath of relief or a sigh.

Now that the beauty is gone and my thinking ability has returned to normal, should I solve the practical problems here?

Chapter 332: If a person is killed, he will die

A senior in the ACG industry once said a wise saying: "If a person is killed, he will die."

That's true.

However, the senior who said this had experienced several experiences of dying and coming back to life, so his words have no credibility.

From this we can see that double standards are not only practiced by people in real life, but also exist in the two-dimensional world.

Another senior in the ACG industry once said another famous quote that is widely circulated: "So-called human beings have their limits, so I am no longer a human being!"

Normally, if a person's heart was pierced, they would not be able to survive. Even if they could linger for a while, they would still die in the end. However, Jiang Tianwei felt no discomfort other than pain after his heart was pierced.

His eyes were not black and his body was full of strength.

(I won’t die even if my heart is pierced. It turns out that what Dr. Takemi said before was true that I am not human. But I’d better not tell her about this for now. I have a feeling that if I tell her, she will arrange a heart piercing experiment for me…)

While thinking about something relaxing, Jiang Tianwei reached back with his right hand without looking back. He felt as if he had grabbed something. He exerted force with his five fingers and felt a warm sensation coming from his fingertips...

“Tear—Ahhhhhhhhh!!!”

A man's heart-wrenching cry came from behind. From the first byte, it can be heard that he wanted to endure it, but he couldn't help it.

Jiang Tianwei used his left hand to push the tip of the awl that pierced his chest back to its original path. He calmly opened the demon summoning program and found a goddess with healing magic [Parvati] to heal him.

This is an Indian goddess, also known as the Goddess of Parvati, who is said to be the wife of Shiva. She has pink hair and two buns, a white veil on her head, a yellow short top and long pants with Indian style, and a pink veil on the outside. She looks like a dignified and gentle goddess.

However, although she is gentle on weekdays, once she gets angry, she will transform into Kali, the God of Destruction. It is said that she is a female monster that is more threatening than her husband, the famous God of Destruction Shiva! Indian gods seem to like this kind of setting with many sides.

Under the magical radiance of Parvati, the goddess of the snow mountain, the wound healed, and Jiang Tianwei felt his heart start beating again. He slowly turned around and saw that his right hand was pinching a man's side. His five fingers had penetrated his black suit and torn his flesh...

"Oh, sorry, I was just wondering what that hard thing I felt just now was, it turned out to be your ribs - so buddy, can you explain it to me before I break your ribs?"

"I, I... (Italian)"

"Tear, you can't blame me for being ruthless just because you don't understand the language - well, even if you tell me your purpose, I won't let you go."

Jiang Tianwei said this casually and broke his ribs.

Although we often see descriptions of human ribs being broken in literary works, it is actually a very dangerous thing. Broken rib fragments can easily get stuck in important organs, such as the trachea and heart.

Jiang Tianwei knew this information, so he gently grasped his ribs and pried them apart. Would this method prevent the bone fragments from flying into the internal organs? I don't know. But there is no doubt that it would be very painful if your ribs were broken and pierced through your body. If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself.

Hearing the heart-wrenching pain, Jiang Tianwei frowned and kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying. He hit the wall and fell down again, lying on the ground, motionless... No one knew whether he had died or fainted.

He doesn't like killing people. This method is too extreme for him.

As a person who has received traditional Chinese education, he is gentle and honest in nature. But he is not the kind of kind-hearted person who has no temper and will tolerate being beaten or scolded.

For example, now, although he didn't understand what had just happened, one thing was clear.

That means someone is targeting his life. If he was not in a human body, he would have died here.

Since the other party wants to kill me, can I also retaliate at the same level?

Many people like to say an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but many people don’t know that the original intention of this sentence is to advise people not to take excessive revenge. You should retaliate against others the way they treat you. If someone spits at you, you must exterminate their entire clan, which is just a simple massacre.

"But I really don't know when I have ever offended anyone in Italy..."

As Jiang Tianwei thought about it, he summoned a pitch-black crow. It looked no different from an ordinary crow, except that it had three blood-red magatama hanging on its chest.

This is the Yatagarasu in Japanese legend.

"Please, help me check the situation around the hotel. Ms. Parvati, please help me check the situation of my companions."

"Ok."

The goddess responded gently and followed Jiang Tianwei. The two were about to go to other people's rooms, but before they took a step, they heard a crisp sound.

The goddess Parvati didn't understand what the sound was, but Jiang Tianwei, as a modern man, knew it very well! It was the sound of gunfire!

Moreover, it came from Naoto's room!

Jiang Tianwei frowned, took two quick steps, and kicked the door sideways! The huge force tore the door axis apart, and the expensive wooden door flew out of the door, smashing the glass on the opposite side with a loud noise. A gust of evening wind came in, carrying a strong smell of blood.

Jiang Tianwei hurriedly searched for Bai Zhongzhidou, and saw this heroic detective squatting beside the bed, using the bed as a cover, with a smoking revolver in his hand.

The smoke coming out of the muzzle was evidence of the shooting. Jiang Tianwei breathed a sigh of relief. Since the bullet was shot from Bai Zhong's gun, at least she definitely did not commit suicide, so the one who was shot must be the other party...

"Was he attacked? Where is the attacker?"

"Oh, that man. He was standing at the door, but now he has fallen out with the door."

Bai Zhongzhidou pointed to the window outside. Jiang Tianwei imagined the scene and couldn't help but want to laugh.

"No, Detective, my mind is confused now. Do you know what happened?"

"Oh, it's nothing serious, just the Italian Mafia raiding."

Bai Zhongzhidou blew the muzzle of the gun and stood up. It seemed that she was well prepared. She didn't change her clothes when she came to the hotel. She was wearing a full set of blue stand-up collar coat, which was bulging inside. It was obvious that she was wearing something like a bulletproof vest.

Jiang Tianwei was stunned when he saw her like this, and asked stupidly: "Why, why, did you know that the mafia would attack us?"

"I guessed it - don't worry. Your companions are all fine."

Shirakari Naoto clapped his hands, and Kitagawa Yusuke came out of the closet. Yoshizawa Sumire and Niijima Shin poked their heads out from the edge of the bed beside Naoto. Yoshizawa Kasumi had already returned to her ghost form because her time limit had expired, and her body was locked back in the box. The purpose of this gang of mafia was to kill people, so they naturally didn't care about the luggage.

Seeing that everyone was fine, Jiang Tianwei finally breathed a sigh of relief: "So you were prepared, why didn't you tell me?"

"Did I send you a message? Who knew you wouldn't even check your phone when you got to the hotel?"

Baek Jong Naoto also spread his hands out in embarrassment, with an expression that said, "I'm troubled too."

"Is there? Let me see... Shit, is there really one?"

Jiang Tianwei felt more and more that something was wrong...

It is normal for me to have some pink fantasies. As a teenager, I always have such fantasies. However, as a modern person, a "head-down tribe", it is really strange that he didn't glance at his phone before arriving at the hotel...

It was as if some kind of power was tempting him not to pay attention to things outside of those pink delusions. In fact, Jiang Tianwei's perception ability was also very good. It was strange that ordinary mafia could touch his back and stab him.

"So, what should we do?"

——————At the same time, a private chat channel on the Internet——————————

[Mejed Member A]: What the hell?! Everyone, check out this video! I just hacked into the hotel's surveillance camera, holy shit!

[Member B of Meijed]: ? Hotel? What hotel? Is there money to be made? Honestly, I'm a little tired of hotels. You really like them, the kind of places where you can't make any money.

[Member A of Medjay]: It’s not that I like you, you forgot, it’s those guys who looked up our address on the Internet not long ago!

[Mejed member B]: I remember someone said they would lead them to one place and catch them all in one fell swoop.

[Mejed member C]: I said so.

[Mejed member A]: That's it! Didn't we disguise the IP address to lead them to Rome? Then I sent a fake message to the local mafia, saying that Japanese gangs were coming to fight for territory, and then I sent a fake order to get the mafia to take action...

[Mejed member C]: Let’s get to the point.

[Member A of Meijed]: This is a video of a hotel, you can watch it for yourself!

[Mejed member BCDEF...]: What-the-f**k?!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 333: Will the annihilation war against humans also be effective against demons?

The lobby on the first floor of the hotel was dead silent.

The front desk clerk who was supposed to stay at his post behind the counter no matter how many customers there were, as well as the concierge and security guards who were supposed to guard the door, are now gone.

It is not difficult to judge the fate of these people from the lingering smell of blood in the air.

Several men dressed casually and without sunglasses were guarding every corner, at the corners, and at the stairs, all holding their breath.

When some people hear the word mafia, their first reaction is to wear a dark suit and sunglasses. If you think about it carefully, isn't this because they are afraid that others don't know that they are bad guys? Would a real bad guy do this?
