Persona: Devil Summoner

Then, some people are curious. If he just wants to confirm whether Jiang Tianwei and his group are dead, then he can just hack into the surveillance and check. He doesn't have to share it in the group, right?

This is the excellence of Baek Jong Naoto.

She knew Jiang Tianwei's fighting ability too well. As long as he showed strength far beyond human common sense in this mafia attack, what would happen? Yes, there would be members of the Meijed who were shocked when they saw this video and quickly shared the video with others: "What the hell is this?!"

Bai Zhongzhidou is not proficient in computer technology, but she is proficient in human nature! As long as you grasp the human nature of these people, it will be easy to deal with them.

However, anyone who has watched Detective Conan knows that the more sophisticated the plan, the more likely it is to collapse due to a small problem... How could Baekjong Naoto be so confident that her plan would succeed? Of course, it was because she had a plan B!

Bai Zhong Zhidou finally finished her plan. At this time, she had brought everyone to the apron of the Kirijo family's private flight and took everyone to the private plane.

I don't know when, there was already a woman with aqua blue braids, wearing a simple sweater, and perhaps worried that the night wind was too cold, she was wearing a brown shawl. She was wearing headphones, holding a computer on her legs, and staring at the screen seriously.

Bai Zhongzhidou took out a bottle of mineral water from the beverage cabinet in the cabin and drank half of it in one breath. Then he introduced her to everyone: "This is also a senior of Shadow Walker, Miss Yamagishi Fuuka. And - she is also a new member of Meijed, of course, she is an imposter."

Yes, this is the core reason why playing psychological warfare and guessing other people's minds will definitely succeed. That is to know yourself and know the enemy.

As mentioned before, Aegis is very powerful, so it is not difficult to find the address of a member of the Medjay. The difficult part is to catch all of them.

Then, why not just raid one first? So long before the operation began, Shadow Walker had secretly captured a member of Medjay. In the past few days, she had been pretending to be the other party to cooperate with Medjay's work - if they were willing to follow Naoto's plan, then Fuuka would not have to do anything. If there was any deviation, then Fuuka would fan the flames and try to deceive them. Even if they really didn't fall for it, Fuuka could tell Naoto at any time and let him adjust the plan.

Fortunately, as mentioned before, many geniuses are often only geniuses in a certain aspect. These computer geniuses are not very good at criminal psychology... and they are manipulated by Shiratonaga Naoto and Yamagishi Fuuka.

"Okay Miss Fenghua, we can close the net now."

Bai Zhong Zhidou finally showed a happy smile of perfect ending and stretched. One could hear the slight crackling sound of bones in her slender back, which showed that she had not rested well during this period and her body had become stiff to this extent.

Yamagishi Fuuka also nodded, skillfully typed a string of code on the computer, and then pressed Enter neatly...

This simple action has only one effect, which is to activate the virus code in the video file previously sent to the Meijiede server. In this way, Meijiede's server and all the computer IP addresses that have played the video containing the virus code before will be exposed, and then sent directly to Interpol through the backdoor program.

Next, it’s Interpol’s job.

Jiang Tianwei was stunned. He thought that after following Zhidou for so long, he had become smarter to some extent. But today, he realized that it was just an illusion!

"It's really a series of schemes that are linked together..."

Shinjima was also impressed. Shirakawa Naoto's plan was not only bold but also meticulous. He also accurately figured out the criminal's mentality. Moreover, he made perfect use of all the resources he could mobilize to serve his plan... She now understood from the bottom of her heart why Shirakawa Naoto was a famous detective.

"Wonderful!"

Kitagawa Yusuke just kept clapping. As an artist, he doesn't have such strong logical reasoning ability, but this doesn't stop him from listening happily. It's like you don't have to understand the content of the bird's call, as long as you think it sounds good.

Yoshizawa Sumire didn't quite understand... She asked curiously: "So... we don't need to come here to change the heart of that bad guy from Medjay?"

Hearing her sister's lovely words, Fang Zexia laughed and said, "My silly sister, of course that's not necessary. We only have one job left now - and that is to have a great time in Italy!"

Jiang Tianwei felt a little complicated.

Of course, he was very happy to have dealt with Medjay.

However, using this method to solve the problem is like he has done nothing... Now he is like a fist filled with power, and then hitting cotton, which is so light that there is no point of force, making Jiang Tianwei feel empty.

Moreover, my location this time was just like a bait, but if I think about it carefully, Naoto actually made some arrangements, and everyone's safety is guaranteed. It's just that I didn't see the phone call, and I was only paying attention to the woman in red... ah, right, where is the woman in red?

When Jiang Tianwei thought of this, he suddenly broke out in a sweat and felt very strange. Since the entire hotel had been surrounded by the mafia, then where was that woman?

Of course, he glanced at Fang Zexia who was very interested beside him, and knew that no matter how curious he was about the answer to this question, he absolutely could not ask it now.

But no matter what, Medjay has solved it!

Next, all we have to do is wait for Interpol to deal with Medjed, and then everything will be over.

Jiang Tianwei stretched his body and said with a smile: "Well, now that everything is over, let's go to bed first! Let's go to Rome and have fun together tomorrow!"

Chapter 336 Meanwhile on the other side

Empiricism means that when people act, they are more inclined to use methods that are familiar to them and have brought them more benefits in the past.

Based on his previous "work" experience, Jiang Tianwei unilaterally believed that this time, Medjay's problem should also be solved by the thief's heart-stealing method. The result was like "punching on cotton", and he felt lost.

However, he doesn't know yet, that while they are having fun in Italy, the Japanese Phantom Thieves Group... will soon experience another kind of "sense of loss".

————————————————————————————

Japan, Tokyo, Yokenjaya, the home of Sakura Sojiro.

Amamiya Ren, Takamaki An, Morgana, and Sakamoto Ryuji are the veteran members of the Phantom Thieves and the ones who have the closest relationship with them.

“Ohhhhhhh! Come and steal it, ahhhhhh!!!”

The girl's voice became shrill due to excitement, and trembled with helplessness.

She was a girl who looked too thin. How thin was she? It is said that arms cannot be thicker than thighs. Her thighs were not as thick as men's arms... Not to mention someone like Jiang Tianwei who exercises regularly, even compared with the arms of a slender man like Amamiya Ren, her thighs were much thinner.

Consistent with the appearance of malnutrition and frailty, the girl's skin was too fair. It was the kind of fair skin that only came from not being exposed to the sun for many years. It was obvious that she must have spent a long time in a dark place.

Normally, words that appear with these two postures are behaviors such as "abuse" and "bullying." However, if it is these two situations, her overall appearance seems too comfortable. Her orange hair is long and shiny, her eyes are big and bright, and her clothes are also from a famous brand. They can't be said to be expensive, but they are definitely not what a child who has been abused for many years would wear.

Who is this child?

Why was she at Boss Sakura's house?

Why are you shouting?

Why are the members of the Phantom Thieves at Boss Sakura's house again?

All of this has to start from a little earlier.

When we mention the name Alibaba, what most people think of is either a large Chinese company or a fairy-tale character fighting with the Forty Thieves.

But for the Phantom Thieves, this name means another meaning: that is, highly skilled hackers.

Medjed's declaration of war annoyed the hot-blooded teenagers of the Phantom Thieves. Children of this age are most susceptible to emotional influence.

Moreover, the whole country is in the midst of a Phantom Thief craze, and the Internet is full of praise for the Phantom Thief, with the intention of treating the Phantom Thief as a new spiritual leader... Led by Ryuji, everyone is a little bit proud. Although Amamiya Ren and Takamaki An are still trying to keep calm, they are also somewhat happy.

In this case, Medjed's declaration of war against the Phantom Thieves has undoubtedly put the Phantom Thieves at the center of public attention on the Internet. People often like to say "what the majority thinks is right is right" and "the minority obeys the majority". Under this trend of collective bullying, the Phantom Thieves, who have been called upon by the entire Internet, have no choice but to fight Medjed. "

Coupled with the recent Tokyo blackout, the Phantom Thieves’ fans were divided into two groups: one voice said, “Why haven’t you dealt with Medjed yet? Hurry up, Phantom Thieves!” Another voice said, “Why didn’t the Phantom Thieves protect us and caused a power outage? What kind of righteous partners are you!”

This irritating atmosphere, coupled with the fact that they were powerless and could only wait, made everyone in the Phantom Thieves feel confused. Although Jiang Tianwei said that he would solve the problem, there was no sign of a solution. This state of anxiety made even Amamiya Lian feel a little unsure.

At this time, the person who came to the door was a hacker who claimed to be from Alibaba.

It says that if the Phantom Thieves can help steal one person's heart, it will help the Phantom Thieves take down Medjed.

It is said that fear comes from the unknown. As for this super hacker who comes and goes without a trace, no one knows his true face, how he was exposed, or his purpose.

At the beginning, Amamiya Ren didn't want to steal other people's hearts for the reason of "trading".

But later, the voices on the Internet were too harsh... In addition, Jiang Tianwei adhered to the principle of "acting in full", and really stopped contacting this side, as if everyone was really divided. Yu Gonglian had no idea what progress Jiang Tianwei had made regarding Major, and finally, under pressure, Yu Gonglian finally decided to listen to what the other side said first.

He thought so. Why didn't he agree with Alibaba before? Because Alibaba didn't ask anyone to change their mind. You can't change ordinary people for your own benefit, right? Wouldn't that make you a bad person?

But, if Alibaba asked himself to rewrite the heart of a bad guy, wouldn't that be the same as what he usually does?

In short, regardless of whether you agree or not, you can listen to the conditions first.

So, Alibaba gave his own target: Futaba Sakura, who lives in the Sakura family.

That is, the girl with orange hair and an overly thin body at the beginning.

Afterwards, when Jiang Tianwei was cheating in the exam room while confessing to the beautiful ghost girl, his teacher mistakenly thought that he was confessing to himself (although the exam was not very exciting for him, the excitement was about to come), Amamiya Ren and the others were tracking down who this Sakura Futaba was.

During this period, it was also discovered that Sakura Futaba might have been abused and might have serious mental problems. Alibaba once cancelled the commission and so on.

That's quite complicated.

But, hard work pays off. Finally, after everyone in the Phantom Thieves went through a lot, they finally figured out two things: First, Alibaba is Sakura Futaba, and it was Futaba herself who asked everyone to steal her heart. Second, Boss Sakura is not a bad person, but someone else is the bad one.

Because of the shadow of the past, Sakura Futaba always feels that she can hear the voice of the dead, urging her to die every day. In this situation, it is easy for people to collapse.

This can be seen from the reports on the fire scene. Many times, there are some very strange ways of death in fire reports. For example, the deceased was hiding in a balcony or somewhere like that. The fire did not burn him. There were glass windows blocking him. The smoke was not particularly violent. But the trapped person chose to jump off the building...

why?

According to analysis, it was because it was too hot. Even if you were not burned directly by the flames or choked to death by the thick smoke, the high temperature of more than 400 to 500 degrees inside the fire scene was unbearable. Just imagine, most people would sweat profusely even if they stayed in a room of 35 or 36 degrees. They would use air conditioners and electric fans, which is ten times hotter...

This kind of mental torture often makes people "unable to bear it anymore" and seek relief.

The same goes for Futaba. She feels uncomfortable because of the condemnation of the dead. She just wants to be free... Whether the Phantom Thieves steal hearts or turn them into useless people, it's better than the current state...

Actually, judging from the Phantom Thieves' situation, there is nothing wrong with accepting Futaba's invitation. They are just a bunch of good people.

But there was a small incident.

Didn't it appear before when it was Madarame? My perception of reality will be reflected in the cognitive space.

The same goes for Futaba.

In reality, she is a stay-at-home girl. Because of her frequent auditory hallucinations, she cannot go to school. Gradually, the hallucinations become more and more serious, and she is unwilling to leave her room. Boss Sakura always goes along with her. Over time, she has formed a perception that no outsider can enter her room.

Therefore, no one was able to invade the deepest part of the palace.

Hence, we have the opening scene, where everyone in the Phantom Thieves tries hard to persuade Sakura Futaba to open the door, and Sakura Futaba finally makes up her mind—and rushes out with an ooooooooh ...

I have to say, it's kind of cute.

Amamiya Ren himself had once been wrongly imprisoned and even developed PTSD. He knew very well how difficult it was for such a person to make such a decision.

"I see. Leave it to us."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 337 Burning Heart (Physical)

"Huh... So, no matter how many times I come here, it's always hot. Can't I just add a car air conditioner? Air conditioning!"

In the palace of cognition, Ryuji Sakamoto made such a complaint.

"I told you that our car has air conditioning! But it's too hot here! The air conditioning blows out hot air!"

The one who responded to him was, of course, Morgana.

Sakura Futaba's palace is a very... uh... stylish place.

It was an endless desert, in the middle of which stood a huge pyramid. There were some small towns half-hidden under the sand around the pyramid, and the Egyptian style was almost overflowing.

Of course, when the image of hot sand comes out, people naturally think of the high temperature that is so hot that it is almost fatal... This is also the perception of most people about the desert.

To Futaba, the pyramid is her room. She calls it "my grave".

She also had a clear understanding of the outside of her room: it was a harsh environment. She regarded everything outside her room as harsh.

Since you are in the vast desert, you will need a car to drive to the pyramids. If you walk there, not to mention the time issue, in this temperature, you can sell your feet directly at a barbecue stall after walking for half an hour.

Ryuji was now sitting in the van that Morgana transformed into, complaining about the weak car air conditioner.

Morgana is also in a difficult situation. After all, it is not a car in essence, but a cat (although it itself refuses to admit it). It is a bit of a bully to ask it to figure out how the car air-conditioning works. Therefore, when the outside air is so hot, it really doesn't know how to cool everyone down.

"Ah...you are so useless..."

Long Si had a gloomy face and couldn't help but complain.

Originally, this was just a casual complaint, but unexpectedly, Morgana's voice suddenly became fierce: "What are you talking about! What do you know about us! - If you think these four wheels are useless, you can get off and walk on foot!"

"What are you throwing a tantrum about again?"

Ryuji Sakamoto was feeling hot and uncomfortable, and he was in no mood to argue with it.

Now everyone is wearing phantom thief costumes, whether it's Ryuji and Amamiya Ren's black jackets, or Takamaki An's red leather, they are all very hot. Now Ryuji feels that he is about to become dehydrated, so he doesn't have the energy to say any more nonsense.

Morgana wanted to argue something, but Gao Juanxue suddenly said, "Stop arguing... The weather is already very hot, it really makes people irritable..."

These words made Morgana, who particularly liked Anzu Takamaki, shut up, and he walked silently towards the pyramid in the hot and irritating air.

The group had been here once before, so they were familiar with the route and easily entered the pyramid.

There is a sharp contrast between the inside and outside of the pyramid. It is extremely hot outside, but the temperature inside is just right. Everyone is sweating profusely as if they were taking a shower, but once they enter this suitable temperature, they feel very cool.

This contrast is mainly because the air-conditioning in Futaba's real room is turned on very high. To her, the room is just that comfortable.

Anyone who knows a little about the pyramids will understand that this space fits the description of Futaba's room perfectly. What is the pyramid? It is the tomb of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt.

The pharaoh is equivalent to the emperor of ancient Egypt. If we refer to the burial of Chinese emperors and how luxurious their mausoleums are, it is not difficult to draw an analogy for the prosperity inside the pyramid.

The same is true in reality. Sakura Futaba treats her room as her own grave. Because the boss takes special care of her, she not only has no worries about food and clothing, but she can also ask him to buy her anything she wants. This room really meets the definition of "luxury".

The internal structure of this mausoleum has been explored before. It is a very pyramid-style internal structure, and many science fiction elements have been added. On the one hand, there is a saying on the Internet that the pyramids were actually built by aliens. On the other hand, it is also because Futaba himself is a very skilled hacker, so it is not difficult to understand that there are many technological elements in his imagination.

After all, it is difficult for people to imagine something completely out of thin air, and basically they can find prototypes in reality.
