Persona: Devil Summoner

So many times, bad guys don't really have a bad face. Otherwise, why is there a term called "gentleman scum"?

The weapons in these people's hands were all made from local materials. Some were baseball bats provided by the hotel, some were fragments removed from statues, and some were kitchen knives.

By the way, the thing that pierced Jiang Tianwei's heart was a Turkish kebab skewer.

Now several people are holding their breath, waiting for the signal from their companions upstairs.

Suddenly, they heard someone talking on the radio in their ears. The voice was in Japanese, which they couldn't understand at all. Then, the radio also heard the sound of something breaking? ! And the wailing of their companions? !

Normally, at this time, ordinary people would tend to rush to the stairs, walk up the stairs to see what was going on.

But they didn't.

It was obvious that these people were well-trained, and even among the mafia, they were definitely elite mafia members. Because when they encountered such a thing, their first reaction was not to rush forward and disrupt the formation, but for everyone to remain quiet, and the radio in their ears could hear the number of their companions.

One after another, if the next person didn't say anything, the next person would continue to report. In less than a minute, these people already knew clearly that the brothers on the fourth floor had an accident. They also knew which brothers had an accident and what weapons they used.

Immediately afterwards, several people reported their numbers on the radio, meaning that they would go and check out the situation themselves.

Through the hotel's monitoring room, one can clearly see that this group of people are well-trained, as if they have received professional training. There are eight people reporting the number, four upstairs and four downstairs, forming two teams. The four people are far apart and not in the same straight line, to ensure that they will not be wiped out by the enemy in one breath and to pass on the enemy's intelligence.

Moreover, these four men had no intention of being careless at all. They had already thrown away the weapons they had picked up from the hotel.

That was originally a weapon used for camouflage. It would be best if it could be used to deal with those "Japanese gangsters" who came to cause trouble. If it can't be solved, then they don't mind using some modern high-powered weapons.

For example, shotguns and submachine guns.

The two teams equipped with heavy firepower soon met on the floor where the accident occurred.

The eight people looked at each other and immediately changed their formation to form a long line, ensuring that everyone could see everyone, maintaining a safe distance, and ensuring that there were no visual blind spots. It was really a perfect coordination.

There must be something wrong with this floor, because the missing companions who didn't report the number just now are only on this floor and in the monitoring room. Because of this, everyone is confused about the situation and has to take risks in this way.

Moreover, there was a companion near the stairs, his ribs were broken and protruding from his chest. Although he was still alive, he was no different from dead. His body was lying limply on the ground, indicating that most of his bones were broken. His mouth kept opening and closing, but he could not spit out anything except blood bubbles...

There is no time to mourn for one's companions. Only by quickly eliminating these people can one comfort the souls of their companions in heaven.

What's the most suspicious place on this floor? Without a doubt, it's the only room without a door. Everyone approached here carefully without making any noise...

Suddenly, a monster rushed out from the door!

Long black hair, a red body, round pupils that could not be closed without eyelids, a posture with no lower body floating in the air, long and sharp black nails extending from the red fingers, and the hem of an indescribable style, which looked like the abdomen of an insect, or a banner cut from some decorative cloth...

With such a combination of features, it doesn't look like a human at all!

These mafia gangs are truly the elite among the elites. Everyone thought of the same sentence in their minds: "F**k! It's a ghost!" But no one flinched in fear. Everyone raised their guns together, aimed at the hideous female ghost, and arrested the class together...

Da da da!

The explosion of gunfire set off a choking smell of gunpowder...

The deadly flames accurately hit the ghost floating in the air, and then... a blue light suddenly appeared on the monster's body, and then the bullets went back along the original path!

Then, it returned to dead silence...

After a long time, the mafia who received no response began to count again, only to find that the eight people who had just gone to explore no longer responded... This time, the mafia who controlled the entire building could no longer sit still.

The loss of contact with eight people just now means that the other party has the means to eliminate eight compatriots at the same time...

This time the mafia made a decision that everyone except the gatekeepers on the first floor would go to provide support.

But soon... the gatekeeper on the first floor discovered that after a burst of gunfire, the voices of his companions were no longer heard on the radio.

What is more terrifying than death is the unknown.

If you threaten these mafia and say you're going to kill him, they definitely won't be afraid.

But, because no one knew what had happened, the only people staying in this hotel must be the Japanese. Even if they were well-connected, their companions would not have died without getting any information through, right?

What happened in the end?

The remaining mafia members looked at each other, not knowing what to say. A few of them looked at each other and immediately made a wise choice: retreat!

There are only a few mafia members on the first floor. You know, even a team of eight people was wiped out in one go. The few of us are definitely not enough to defeat the other side.

Although it is embarrassing, if I continue to show off here and end up being wiped out, there will be no one to pass on the information that these Japanese are dangerous to me. Therefore, I must return alive!

After realizing this, the mafia gang quickly began to prepare to retreat... However, they had just left the building and the leader had just taken out his cell phone to prepare a report. They did not notice that on the big tree outside the house, between the dark shades, some kind of dark and ferocious beast was staring at this side with cold eyes. As soon as it saw these people coming out, the dark killer under the cover of night launched an attack!

"Ah?!"

Suddenly, one of the Mafia made a sound of pain and tried to shout, but no words came out and only muffled sounds came out.

The reason why people can speak is because they have a throat or pharynx. On the other hand, if this organ is cut off, people will not be able to speak.

Of course, this organ has another function, which is breathing. If this part is cut off... then of course...

Under the dim orange streetlights outside the hotel, the other partners saw their companions gasping for breath while clutching their throats. Even the well-trained mafia members were finally a little scared at this moment...

What on earth is this thing? What method did it use? How could it eliminate professionals like us? !

What on earth is this...

Before the others could say anything cowardly, several people fell to the ground one after another, without exception, they all covered their throats and wailed...

The phone that fell to the ground was only halfway through dialing the number and the call was not made at all.

In the darkness, the cold eyes of the hunter - the Yatagarasu - returned to the treetops contentedly, continuing to wait for the next enemy that might come out of the hotel.

Chapter 334 Do you have an ancestor with the surname Zhuge?

"It looks like they've all been destroyed."

In the monitoring room, Bai Zhongzhidou was watching the bloody scenes on the split screen, nodding his head thoughtfully. In the monitoring room, several mafia members who were knocked unconscious were stuffed with earplugs, gagged, covered their eyes, and tied up in a corner.

Why not kill them?

That’s of course because Jiang Tianwei doesn’t have the ability of a necromancer yet. If you want to get some information, you have to leave some people alive.

Facing these murderous acts, Jiang Tianwei felt a little uncomfortable... This is not to say that he is morally obsessed, he is also very clear that there is no need to show mercy to such a bad guy who is unrepentant and has no intention of repenting.

But, the corpse thing doesn’t feel like much when I write about it, but it looks really disgusting.

No matter how many times I see Jiang Tianwei, I still feel sick! It's like a person's fear of heights, it won't be cured just because he goes to high places frequently.

"So, now can you explain to me? Why did arresting Medjed lead to the Mafia?! What's the principle behind this?"

Seeing that the fight was about to end, Jiang Tianwei quickly asked Zhidou to ease his nausea, hoping to find out the truth. On the other hand, he also hoped that by talking, he could distract himself from recalling that disgusting scene.

"Ah, of course."

Bai Zhongzhidou also agreed readily.

"But let's get out of here first."

Bai Zhongzhidou smiled mysteriously and led everyone out of the hotel...

If you want to explain the plan that Bai Zhongzhidou secretly made, you must first understand one thing, that is, the role that Bai Zhongzhidou played this time...

Medjed's behavior has been introduced before. Although it did some good things when it was first established, it has become an outright international criminal organization. No matter what your original intention is, since you have finally embarked on the path of breaking the law and committing crimes, you will naturally face the sanctions of legal justice!

Since Medjad is a world-class criminal organization, it is natural that it must be confronted by a world-class police organization. Yes, Interpol.

However, Medjed is a world-class hacker organization whose members are not only cunning but also extremely good at hiding. Moreover, they are not fighting alone. Even if one person is careless and leaves any evidence of a crime, it will be immediately erased by his accomplices, making it extremely difficult to arrest him. This directly made Interpol very angry.

How should I put it? Interpol's current attitude towards Medjed is very similar to Niijima Sae's attitude towards the Phantom Thieves. That's true, as long as they can be taken down, they will pay any price.

Even if they had to put aside their dignity and even the rules to accept a collaborator who was truly capable of arresting Medjed.

For example...Baichong Naoto.

Yes, in order to catch a world-class hacker, a world-class organization is needed to fight back. This is what Bai Zhongzhidou thinks.

It is not difficult to establish a relationship with Interpol. With the network of the Kirijo family, although it is impossible to send Naoto to become Interpol, it is not difficult to obtain the status of a collaborator.

Therefore, the following situation is based on the premise that Baek Jong Naoto is a collaborator of Interpol.

Otherwise, even if you find the distribution of the members of Medjay around the world, can you really spread out to all parts of the world and change their hearts one by one? Don't be ridiculous...

In order to punish Medjed, in addition to a world-class organization, there is another essential preparation. In order to fight against those high-tech talents, you must also use corresponding talents. Just like if the opponent sends Guan Yu to fight, you must at least send a fierce general like Zhang Fei. If you insist on sending Chunyu Qiong, you will only be asking for trouble.

As mentioned before, there is a member in the Shadow Walker who is particularly good at computers, Fuuka Yamagishi. Coincidentally, although Fuuka Yamagishi did not study computer science, she is indeed a computer genius. She is not only good at modifying machines by herself, but also very good at writing programs.

After receiving a request from Kirijo Mitsuru, Yamagishi Fuuka wrote two programs. The first one was a hacker component for Aegis. Although Aegis was created more than ten years or even decades ago, its computing performance is not inferior to that of today's supercomputers because it uses black technology.

There is no point in discussing whether the human brain or the computer is faster. The general consensus is that in terms of calculation, the computer is far ahead, but in terms of logic, the human brain has an immeasurable advantage.

However, Aegis was the one who broke the limit. She had both the computing performance of a supercomputer and the logical thinking ability of a human. Add to that the high-performance hacker component written by Fuuka Yamagishi, and she gained hacker capabilities. This was a powerful combination.

Therefore, it is not difficult to find clues of Medjay on the Internet, and it is not difficult to crack their IP.

But this did not meet Bai Zhongzhidou's expectations.

Because, strictly speaking, the Meijed organization is not really an organization. They don't have a unified leader, nor are they an organization with a strict code of conduct. They are more like a forum. Even if you arrest the forum owner, moderators, and the most active people, the organization can still function.

They are a group of people who come together based on their interest in hacking... Hacker technology enthusiasts? Perhaps this is the right word to describe them...

Therefore, either they must be caught in one fell swoop, or they will be left waiting for the fire to burn out and spring breeze to blow again. This is one of the main reasons why Interpol's previous attempts to capture Medjed were unsuccessful.

This kind of hacker group will definitely not use any network server in the world to carry out hacking activities. They have both technology and enthusiasm, and they are not short of money. Building a server of their own is as easy as eating and drinking.

It is very difficult for Interpol to find this server... After all, it is difficult to compete with these talented hackers without advanced skills...

In order to deal with this difficult situation, Bai Zhongzhidou set up a trap.

First, she asked Aegis, who was equipped with a hacker program, to deliberately leave some "traces" when searching for Medjed. To explain it in the words of martial arts novels, it means deliberately creating some flaws and waiting for the opponent to make a move.

As expected, a world-class criminal organization like Medjed was very sensitive to this kind of search for their traces. So they immediately understood that someone was looking for trouble with them again.

Moreover, it seems that the people this time have pretty good skills, and the IPs of several members were actually found, but they were all fake IPs that had been disguised through layers of disguise.

So the members of Medjay held an emergency meeting, at which everyone made a similar judgment: that is, to deliberately disguise the IP address to a place where the organization is not present and lure the enemy there.

That is...Italy.

Why is it brought here? Of course, it’s because of the “specialties” here.

In order to lure the Mafia into attacking these troublesome guys, Medjed also hacked into the communication system of the largest local Mafia. He used AI to simulate the boss's voice and delivered virtual information to his elite thugs, asking them to closely monitor foreigners who had recently visited the Italian capital of Rome.

Therefore, Bai Zhong Zhidou brought everyone here on the private plane of the Kirijo family, and also strolled around the streets without hesitation, for fear of alerting the enemy and afraid that these people would not be able to find him.

In other words, until the attack by the mafia, everything was within Baek Jong Naoto's plan - but it was indeed unexpected that Jiang Tianwei would be so absent-minded that he didn't even look at his phone. Even Baek Jong Naoto couldn't have predicted that this man wanted to be emperor as soon as he came to Rome!

So, the question is... Since these people from Medjede have designed a trap to kill these people who came to investigate them, and they can't go to the scene in person to confirm the life and death of these people, then what will they do? - Of course, they will hack into the surveillance cameras and steal the surveillance data!

No matter how bad the security in Italy is, the Mafia will not start shooting in broad daylight, so they will definitely wait until everyone goes to the empty hotel that has been booked at night before taking action...

With all the layers of design, it seemed that Medjed was secretly manipulating Bai Zhong Zhidou, but in fact, every step was within Zhidou's calculation.

Since we already know approximately when the other party will hack into where and what information they will steal - can't we prepare some small gifts for them in advance?

Bai Zhongzhidou had only said half of his words, but now in Jiang Tianwei's eyes, Bai Zhongzhidou had transformed into Zhuge Zhidou, with a long beard, a feather fan and a scarf, talking and laughing, pointing out the country and making bold statements...

(I will never go against her in the future... I will follow her for the rest of my life... She is so scary, this kind of woman must not be offended... Otherwise, you will die without knowing how...)

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 335 Perfect Ending (?)

As mentioned before, Yamagishi Fuuka prepared two things for Medjed, or in other words, for Shiraishi Naoto's plan.

The same thing, it's the Aegis enhancement program. So what's the other one?

Naturally, it is the "little gift" that Naoto mentioned before.

Although hackers are still relatively unfamiliar to most netizens, and most of them are just hearsay, but when it comes to viruses... that's another level of popularity.

After all, hackers won't have nothing better to do than attack ordinary people who can't get any money out of them, but viruses don't care about you that much.

This is the second small gift prepared by Fuuka Yamagishi, a piece of virus code.

Since the Kirijo Group had already decided on the hotel where they would stay, and they also knew that the surveillance data would inevitably be stolen by the other party in the future, wouldn't it be enough for them to just put a virus in the surveillance video file in advance?

Anyone who has seen the picture of a damn panda offering you three sticks of incense must have known how destructive a virus can be. It was really infuriating.

Of course, Medjay and his gang are computer experts after all, so they would not fail to check the destructiveness of the files.

So, there are two confusing points here. First, the virus written by Fenghua is not destructive. It is just equivalent to a backdoor. Since it is not destructive, Fenghua can do his best to write it very hidden.

Second, people always instinctively believe that they are more rational, smarter, and wiser than others. In short, they believe that they will not make mistakes. Especially in this favorable situation, everyone in Medjay felt that this was an opportunity to give Interpol a good show.

Everyone thought that they were hunters, so they naturally didn't expect that the prey was also holding a hunting rifle and a hunting dog aiming at them...
