Persona: Devil Summoner

Futaba forced herself to sit on the computer chair. The computer was in sleep mode, and she tapped a few times to wake up the screen. Her hands moved quickly, typing out lines of code. Her thick and large glasses reflected the light of the screen. As the saying goes, experts know the ins and outs, while laymen like Amamiya Ren can only watch the fun.

Although I don't understand what's going on, it always seems very impressive. The high-speed falling code accompanied by the crisp crackling sound of the mechanical keyboard gives people a very professional feeling.

How much time had passed? When people have nothing to do, they become insensitive to the passage of time, and always feel that time passes very slowly. About three minutes had passed, or maybe five minutes. I saw Futaba's slender arms raised high, and her small body leaned back with all her strength, pressing all her weight on the back of the swivel chair, and her body seemed to make crackling sounds as her joints stretched.

“Done... going to bed...”

Sakura Futaba was yawning loudly, and from the look of her, she was extremely sleepy. She pounced from the chair like a cat, landed on the bed with a bang, and her body sank into the soft bed. She didn't even say good night and fell asleep.

The three people and the cat looked at each other, and everyone could see the confusion in their little eyes: Is this the end? A world-class hacker! A powerful criminal that even the government is powerless to stop! And a sleepy little girl took care of it in just three or five minutes? !

But considering the superb skills Futaba showed when she was aliased as Alibaba, it is not impossible?

Although they really wanted to wake her up and ask her clearly, no one was embarrassed to do so seeing how tired she looked... But what Amamiya Ren and the others didn't know was that... There were only 30 minutes left for Interpol to capture all the members of Medjay...

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

"Well - it was a really exciting night."

Jiang Tianwei expressed such emotion.

Far away in Italy, he had no idea that Amamiya Ren and his team in Japan had been going through a lot of trouble. Although they had gained new partners, the most important "necessary premise" no longer existed.

At this moment, he is enjoying the Versailles tournament.

If you have read Versailles literature, you must have seen this sentence: I woke up from a bed of X square meters, breathed in the aroma of X amount of money, drank X amount of coffee or black tea brought by a maid or housekeeper with an annual salary of X amount of money, and then got up lazily. Peaceful and happy...

At this time, Jiang Tianwei was lying on the bed in the Tongtiao Group's villa in Italy, enjoying the erosion of capitalism.

Take the room where Jiang Tianwei lived, for example. It was a large bed that could accommodate four or five people lying side by side, with a tasseled gauze curtain on top and a lace mattress underneath. The carpet on the floor had a gorgeous, Mediterranean-style pattern. The cabinets around it were filled with expensive pots filled with beautiful flowers. The walls were decorated with gold frames and landscape paintings that were not sure if they were famous paintings.

By the way, this villa was not actually built by the Kirijo family themselves, but was purchased specifically for this operation. Even the interior decoration was not thought of by the Kirijo family.

Just from the small details of this rich man's lavish spending, it can be seen that the Kirijo Group is really not short of money.

If it was a villa that was built by Mitsuru Kirijo herself, I wouldn't say that the taste was very elegant, but at least she wouldn't have done the nouveau riche thing of blindly piling up antiques and artworks.

After dealing with Meijed, there is no psychological pressure, and you can have fun all day. Because Yusuke Kitagawa's Kousei High School is an art school, the exam time is slightly different from that of ordinary schools. Shinjima is in the third year of high school, so there is still time before the exam.

(In other words... we can have a great time in Italy for a while!).

Jiang Tianwei's mind is now full of such innocent thoughts!

Looking at Amamiya Ren and then looking at Jiang Tianwei, I can only say that I can feel the disparity in the world...

Chapter 345: You can't even compete even if I ask you to

If there is anyone among Jiang Tianwei's companions who sleeps the worst, it is undoubtedly Kitagawa Yusuke.

When they met in the dining room in the morning, Kitagawa Yusuke's eyes were bloodshot, his eye bags were slightly swollen and dark in color, and it was obvious that he had not slept all night.

It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but in fact, some people have been poor all their lives, and if you suddenly give them the opportunity to splurge, they don't know what to do. Kitagawa Yusuke is the spokesperson of this mentality.

As we all know, the environment of a dormitory is definitely not as good as that of home - unless you are studying in an aristocratic school. In addition, Kitagawa Yusuke used to live in Madarame's house. Madarame was an artist who claimed to be very poor. As his disciple, Yusuke naturally lived a hard life since childhood.

Now he suddenly came to a place where the bed was almost bigger than his personal space. How could he sleep well?

Of course, another reason why he couldn't sleep was...

"Everyone, please wait a moment!".

Just as the maids were piling the food on the long European-style table, Kitagawa Yusuke suddenly stood up with a sketchpad in his hand.

"Before we start breakfast, please allow me to draw a quick sketch!".

Without waiting for everyone's consent, Yusuke wrote furiously, dotting on the paper, drawing the postures of everyone sitting down.

This great artist has been immersed in the world of art since last night. He has a deep understanding of himself: maybe this is the only chance for him to come to Italy in his life, so of course he will paint as much as he can! Sleep? No-need! That's a waste of time! He can sleep on the plane on the way back!

What's more, according to legend, the famous artist Leonardo da Vinci once used a "Da Vinci-style sleep" in which he only slept four hours a day. The ancients only used four hours, so what can a modern person like me who sleeps for several days compare to that!

So he spent the entire evening transforming the room, corridor, dining room, kitchen, garden, balcony...any place he could go and feel the artistic atmosphere into his calligraphy.

Needless to say, Jiang Tianwei also guessed where this kid would go today, that is, to the church. The church in Italy is no longer just a church, it has become one of the scenic spots in Italy. As we all know, in ancient Europe, the church had great power, and great power meant making a lot of money. When people have money, they are often willing to show off their financial strength.

Therefore, you can often see a lot of art in such ancient European churches, mainly murals and statues, dotted with various religious paintings, and the church is like an art gallery with a theme.

Apart from the need to worry about thieves and pickpockets, it is a perfect place for art students. However, for someone like Kitagawa Yusuke who has nothing, thieves would not steal from him even if they were blind! So it is very safe.

The best way to avoid having your money stolen is to be extremely poor.

In sharp contrast to Kitagawa Yusuke is Niijima Makoto.

Although President Niijima has never lived in such a luxurious house, he is a very good student and is very good at managing his health.

Many people only know how to study hard and accumulate knowledge, but they forget that it is more important to be able to fully utilize your knowledge than to accumulate knowledge. In particular, many students stay up late to review before the exam in order to get high scores, but they end up being so sleepy in the exam room the next day that they fall asleep halfway through the test paper. How could this be a loss?

Shinjima would never make such a low-level mistake. The more important the occasion, the more she would force herself to get enough sleep. Although Shinjima was a "grandma Shinjima" who had just entered the Grand View Garden yesterday, she ate very well and slept enough, just to ensure that she would not affect her energy the next day.

If there is a phantom thief mission, you can go out at any time. If not - since you are here, just have fun!

When people at Shujin Academy mention Shinjima, they always think of him as a traditional good student who is very serious and unsmiling. But in fact, Shinjima is just not good at expressing himself and having fun, not really unsmiling.

Moreover, because she has a very serious personality, she is not only serious in studying, but also in playing.

The Fangze sisters looked even more affectionate than usual. This was easy to understand. On normal days, the sisters could not see each other, but now they not only saw each other, but also slept together last night. As mentioned before, the big bed in this villa was big enough to accommodate three or four people rolling around on it, so it was definitely no problem for a pair of sisters to sleep on the same bed.

Yoshizawa Sumire always wanted to talk to her sister and chat about intimate topics between sisters, but the Japanese sisters could never find such an opportunity in Japan, and finally found it in Italy, a foreign country. It is really a pity that fate plays tricks on people. "

Shirakari Naoto and Yamagishi Fuka are the ones who are most adapted to this environment. Yamagishi Fuka came to Italy for further studies after graduating from university. She is Italian, so there is no need to say more.

Baek Jong Naoto, on the other hand, is particularly adaptable to various environments because of her detective work. It is no exaggeration to say that she can sleep on the street without any pressure. Considering that this detective girl once hid in a trash can to investigate a case, although she cleaned the trash can in advance, this kind of courage is not something that ordinary people can have.

“The painting is really nice…”

Jiang Tianwei observed Kitagawa Yusuke's sketchbook. The pencil draft was sloppy but very vividly expressed the subtle differences in emotions of the above-mentioned people.

As for sketching, since its name is sketching, it is definitely not because it takes a lot of time.

The characteristic of sketching is speed. It requires the painter to capture the characteristics of the target and depict them in the shortest possible time. It is said that the top sketch masters will randomly look for targets on the street, and capture the characteristics of people who have feelings or are doing something interesting. Pedestrians on the street will not wait for you to observe slowly, so the painter's eyesight, memory and generalization ability are quite high.

Jiang Tianwei looked at Kitagawa Yusuke's paintings. Although everyone's paintings were very sloppy, they were surprisingly able to capture the characteristics, and with just a few strokes, everyone's different mental states yesterday were vividly displayed on the paper. This made Jiang Tianwei once again deeply understand that no matter what, Kitagawa Yusuke was also a child chosen by Madarame, and his artistic talent was really high.

After receiving Jiang Tianwei's praise, Kitagawa Yusuke showed a strange kind of excitement of a fanatic on his face. If it were a comic, you would definitely be able to see the flames burning behind him!

“Hehehe… I feel like infinite inspiration is filling my body. Hehehe, I’m going to use these pens to copy all the works of art!”

Jiang Tianwei's forehead was dripping with sweat, thinking: What does it mean to be crazy and live? ! However, for him, this kind of highbrow stuff is too elegant. He is just an ordinary person and does not have such high ideological awareness - let's eat first...

Sitting on the long table covered with a pure white tablecloth, listening to the flickering candlelight in the silver candlesticks, smelling the elegant fragrance emanating from the vase of freshly picked flowers, and watching the maids serving the dishes one by one in an orderly manner, Jiang Tianwei could no longer hold back his rumbling stomach!

"Okay, everyone, before we eat, as the leader, I would like to say a few words!"

Jiang Tianwei became playful and stood up, imitating the way the leaders in his memory spoke, with his hands behind his back and a drawling tone, looking funny.

"Well, first of all - there's nothing to worry about. Let's eat and drink well, and then go have fun! Cheers!"

Chapter 346 Roman Holiday

When talking about Rome and holidays, we have to mention "Roman Holiday".

Although it is an old movie, even a black-and-white one, Audrey Hepburn, who was 24 years old at the time and in her prime, still showed her peerless beauty that almost made the black-and-white movie overflow with color. She is indeed a world-class beauty.

This is probably the most precious value invented by film and television. Time will pass, faces will age, but the moment recorded can be preserved forever.

Although this movie is a bit old, people who study film and television cannot avoid appreciating old movies. Also, no matter which country they are from, intellectuals always have a temperament of showing off. Besides, everyone generally likes beautiful women. Even if you don't appreciate the movie, it's great to see this peerless beauty.

This makes "Roman Holiday" like Rome, a famous "check-in destination". You can always see people going to watch movie clips from time to time, and you can also often see people going to Rome to check in after watching movie clips.

To sum up, Rome, as a city dominated by tourism, its most beautiful scenery is - people!

No matter when you go to Rome, you will always see crowds of people, especially in scenic spots. What's more, most people come to Rome before August...

I would like to mention that August is generally a holiday in Rome, and you will see various shops closed for the holiday, which is similar to the Spring Festival in China. In addition, August is the wettest and hottest period in the Mediterranean climate, so the time when many people come here is just the "carnival before silence" in Rome.

Rome has many exciting settings as a tourist city. For example, the famous attractions are actually free of charge. Even if you want to take a tour of the holy land in "Roman Holiday", as long as you don't go to the hotel in the movie, other places are free of charge.

However, those who have been to domestic scenic spots during holidays should understand that the most annoying thing about scenic spots is not that the tickets are expensive, but that the queues are annoying. Even in places like Happy Valley, you have to queue for two hours to play popular facilities once.

So Italians are very smart to set up a "Rome City Pass" specifically for tourists, which allows them to skip the queue... However, many people think it is a waste to buy this thing. It is just like some players are willing to spend 648 to draw cards in a mobile game, but draw nothing, but are unwilling to buy a website membership for 10 yuan a month.

As a game player, Jiang Tianwei certainly feels that this kind of "City Pass" is a loss.

But he bought it anyway, and bought one for everyone.

If I were to ask why, I would have the Kirijo Consortium to pay for it anyway, so why would I bother? The big consortiums were so wealthy that the interest on their bank deposits was enough to support a small person like me for a lifetime. How could they care about a tourist card that could be purchased for just a few dozen euros?

“ciao~” (Italian: hello)

Fang Zexia stood in front of the fountain excitedly, bending down to press her skirt. The fountain behind her spit out pure white water foam, which dissipated with the wind. In the coolness, the wind also cooperated to move her skirt, but there was no exaggerated scene of the skirt flying up, and the cosplay classic was still missing something.

Fang Zexia changed into a very stylish skirt today - what's the taste? Chinese style.

I don't know if this little girl prepared it specially, but she got a set of clothes in the style of the Republic of China from somewhere. The upper body is a light blue long gown, and the lower body is matched with a black knee-length skirt. On her feet are white socks and black cloth shoes... If you don't look at her light chestnut hair, it really has some Republic of China flavor.

But this flavor seems out of place in this European city of Italy.

But, what does it matter? Just like a white complexion can hide all flaws, as long as a person is beautiful, any problem can be hidden. This is also why many people buy the same clothes as celebrities because they look good in them, but they don’t look the same when they wear them…

As if noticing that Jiang Tianwei was lost in thought while looking at her, Fang Zexia fiercely made a good gesture to herself in her heart: (Great! I said that at times like this, the flavor of his motherland should be used to decide the outcome!)

Although foreigners always think of cheongsam when they mention Chinese clothing, Fang Zexia still feels that this kind of stuff that is everywhere has no feelings! It can't evoke Jiang Tianwei's feelings! So she secretly worked hard and studied it carefully - in fact, she searched for Chinese clothing patterns on the Internet, and finally decided on this set.

"You are not bewitched by me, are you? How about it, do you have the charm of Audrey Hepburn?"

"I think I should remind you that it was Marilyn Monroe who pressed the skirt, not Audrey Hepburn."

Jiang Tianwei held his chin with one hand, looking like a picky film critic. Fang Zexia pouted: "Just tell me whether you love it or not!"

"Love, why not love."

Jiang Tianwei smiled and shrugged, secretly glancing around. Although the two people were speaking Japanese, which the Italian foreigners could not understand at all, this did not prevent them from appreciating beautiful girls. Especially this kind of beauties who are very abrupt and out of tune with the background. There are always some literati who describe beauties as "as if they walked out of a painting". Now Fang Zexia is not only walking out, she is kicking the frame directly...

"Today I'm going to check in all the attractions in Rome! I want to visit all the attractions! The Lighthouse of Pharos! The Parthenon! The Taj Mahal and so on!"

Fang Zexia excitedly counted her ambitions on her fingers, and Jiang Tianwei nodded as he listened: "Should we book the plane tickets right away?"

"how you said that?"

"None of the attractions you mentioned are in Rome!"

"What are you doing!"

Fang Zexia learned a dialect sentence and slapped Jiang Tianwei on the chest with her backhand. This action often appears in Japanese "manzai" performances. Basically, the older manzai ends with this gesture of slapping the partner's chest.

Jiang Tianwei guessed what she was going to do when she mentioned three out-of-town attractions. This little girl, like himself, especially liked to joke. So when communicating with her, your thinking must jump along with her. You can't conquer this kind of girl by being rigid.

Jiang Tianwei now seems to be dreaming back to the days when he was playing Christmas Kiss, in which there was a senior schoolmate with such a quirky personality - you see, it is wrong to say that there is no study, right? Studying more is good!

"..."

Yoshizawa Sumire watched her sister and Jiang Tianwei's intimate interaction. Although they are twins, their ways of thinking are really very different. Yoshizawa Sumire couldn't keep up with her sister's eccentric thinking mode. She was still wondering why her sister talked about a lot of foreign attractions when she was obviously sightseeing in Rome... She didn't expect that she was performing impromptu manzai.

"Your sister is really a person with a unique personality."

Shinjima scratched her head and sighed. She actually thought of many slightly derogatory words in her mind, but she rejected them one by one in her mind, and finally used the word "personality".

"Personality? Yes, it is a very distinct personality."

Bai Zhongzhidou smiled and added: "It really makes me feel like I'm back to when I was in high school."

"What are you talking about, Miss Naoto, you are obviously very young, why do you speak so maturely?"

Yamagishi Fuuka started complaining on the side.

It was obvious that everyone was enjoying their vacation in Italy, a Japanese version of Roman Holiday.

However, Jiang Tianwei vaguely sensed that something was wrong...

It is obvious that Kitagawa Yusuke is prepared to spend the whole day immersed in the ocean of art, so he will naturally not participate in such a time-wasting group tour...

So, the original group of two men and four women, because of the addition of Ms. Fuuka and the departure of Mr. Yusuke, although the small group still maintained six people, the ratio of men to women was drastically unbalanced!

On a street corner in Rome, no one noticed a woman in a red dress looking at this side. Under the translucent red gauze was a body as white and smooth as a statue. With such a beautiful body, even if you couldn't see her face, you knew she was definitely a peerless beauty.

She chuckled softly, but the people coming and going around her seemed not to notice her at all, and were minding their own business...
