Persona: Devil Summoner

Fang Zexia was thinking so bitterly, but she still had a big smile on her face. She put her arm around Niijima Makoto's arm and walked away like two good friends.

Shinjima originally thought that Jiang Tianwei and Fang Zexia were a little too close, but when he saw how close she was to him, he had some guesses in his mind: (It seems that this ghost named Fang Zexia is just like that. I thought these two people were... were... were boyfriend and girlfriend...)

As a serious person, Shinjima had never thought about falling in love. Even the thought of this concept made her cheeks turn red. Now that she thought that they were not boyfriend and girlfriend, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

This is not to say that she has any feelings for Jiang Tianwei, but simply feels that if two people in a small group get too close, it will always make others feel awkward. This is also why some Japanese companies have regulations prohibiting employees from dating within the company.

As for whether this is what Niijima really thinks, at least now Niijima truly feels from the bottom of his heart that this is what he thinks.

"My sister is gone, I feel a little lonely..."

Fang Ze Jin sighed, with a lonely expression on her face. Jiang Tianwei nodded: "Indeed, it seems dozens of decibels quieter when she is not here. - Anyway, is there any place you want to go? I'll accompany you."

As Jiang Tianwei spoke, he looked around for the translator Bai Zhongzhidou. In this foreign country where he was unfamiliar with the place and couldn't even speak the language, it was really impossible to travel normally without a translator.

Just now his eyes were on Yoshizawa Kasumi, but now that Yoshizawa Kasumi was gone, he suddenly noticed that Naoto seemed to have gone somewhere else without realizing it.

After looking around, he finally spotted the tomboy detective on the street a few hundred meters away. She was leaning against a newsstand with a newly bought newspaper in her hand. Jiang Tianwei understood after thinking about it: after all, everyone had made a big fuss in the hotel before, and Naoto's detective nature probably kicked in, and now he wanted to confirm the development of the situation, right?

Although newspapers are not as fast as the emerging online media, they also have their inherent characteristics: that is, they function as a "mouthpiece."

No one really thinks that newspapers can write anything they want, right? They are reviewed by their superiors! Therefore, you can roughly infer the attitude of the authorities from the perspective of the report.

For example, there are several ways to report the hotel incident. It can be treated as a complete accident, a mafia fight, or an outside criminal. Which version is finally published is very important.

Jiang Tianwei was just about to go over to say hello, when suddenly, she saw several men in black flash by Bai Zhongzhidou's side. With lightning speed, one covered her mouth, and two grabbed her arms. In just a moment of breathing, the detective who was standing on the street reading the newspaper disappeared!

"what?!"

Chapter 350: Shocking Realization: No One is Perfect

Baek Jong Naoto was captured? !

It took Jiang Tianwei a full second to digest this fact.

Considering the nature of Baekjong Naoto's work, this is understandable. After all, even a work aimed at teenagers like Detective Conan has a spin-off work like "The Sniped Detective", so you can imagine how dangerous the detective industry is.

This is especially true for a top detective like Baek Jong Naoto.

This is why the great detectives in various works often have outstanding skills. For example, Sherlock Holmes, the most famous detective in the world, uses the "Patton Technique".

But now, Bai Zhong Zhidou was kidnapped right in front of him?

Before his brain could react, his feet had already reacted. People's reflexes are always faster than their thinking ability, which is why many sports emphasize instinctive reactions and muscle memory.

The same thing happened to Jiang Tianwei. Before he could react, he had already chased after him instinctively. Fang Zejin didn't understand what happened for a while, but seeing Jiang Tianwei's anxious look, she instantly understood the urgency of the situation.

"I'm sorry Sumire, I..."

He turned his head, and before he could finish his words, Yoshizawa Sumire was standing in the center of his vision, with a calm smile on her face, and she bowed slightly to him: "It's okay, I can do it alone. Come on, senior!"

As she spoke, Fang Ze Jin clenched her fist at him with a cute look. Jiang Tianwei smiled, his calf muscles tensed, and his originally loose sweatpants stuck tightly to his swollen muscles like tights because of this movement.

"Thank you!"

Jiang Tianwei's last words were heard in the wind.

As these words reached Fang Ze Jin's ears, Jiang Tianwei had already rushed to the street where Zhi Dou had just disappeared in two quick steps, grabbed the street lamp pole with one hand as a traction, and turned his body forcefully, disappearing from Fang Ze Jin's sight. Only the cracked asphalt road and the street lamp pole with five finger prints were left, telling of the almost violent assault just now.

This was the first time Fang Zejin had seen Jiang Tianwei like this. In the past, she only knew that her senior was very powerful, but she didn't expect him to be so powerful...

In the cognitive space, the physical fitness of the phantom thieves is often enhanced. I don't know if it is because the self in everyone's mind is actually much stronger than the real self. However, Sumire Yoshizawa has only seen one person who can achieve the same physical fitness in reality as in the impression space.

(If I say I want to follow, I will definitely be a hindrance, right? Senior, I wish you good luck in martial arts...)

Yoshizawa Sumire has a very clear understanding of herself. It is said that one of the criteria for a good woman is not to hinder a man's enlightenment. Now Yoshizawa Sumire knows very well that she has no way to pursue someone. Following him is just a burden, so...

(Now, I have to tell my sister and the president immediately, and find a way to contact the Shadow Walkers and ask for support...)

Yoshizawa Sumire made a judgment in her heart, turned around, and ran towards the Kirijo family's villa.

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

Speaking of Italian specialties, in addition to pasta... we must never forget the [Mafia]... This is what Jiang Tianwei reminded himself in his heart.

Indeed, Japan is the only country in the world that recognizes the legality of gangs, and Jiang Tianwei himself is even half a gangster. Perhaps it is because of these that his vigilance is numbed?

Don't forget that if the gangs want to be legal in Japan, the prerequisite is to abide by the law. To put it in an analogy, the Japanese gangs are like tigers kept in captivity in a circus. In order to get a bite in human society, they have to abide by the rules of the circus. Although they are not completely wild, they do lack a sense of dominance.

But Italy is the birthplace of the Mafia, and it is an illegal black industry. It is like deliberately putting tigers in an extremely harsh environment to hone them. Perhaps many fragile tigers will disappear because of this, but once they can adapt to the harsh environment, they will be born as tiger kings that are far superior to ordinary tigers.

The Italian Mafia has become so rampant that assassinating judges has become a traditional project.

Jiang Tianwei should have thought that he had defeated a mafia team in the hotel. Although Jiang Tianwei did not kill anyone, the cause of death of those people was the reflection of the bullets he fired. But I am afraid that the mafia will not reason with you like this.

Why didn't I think of the possibility that my partner might be targeted?

(Maybe it’s because of Naoto…)

Jiang Tianwei thought so in his heart.

Yes, it’s because of Baek Jong Naoto.

This detective, since Jiang Tianwei met her a few times, has always been powerful and mysterious, with all-knowing hands and eyes and rich logic, just like an invincible god of war. This sense of security also made Jiang Tianwei involuntarily rely on her, and while relying on her, he felt more and more that Bai Zhongzhidou was a very powerful and invincible person.

This kind of emotion is just like the respect that Liu Bei, the monarch of Shu, had for Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. After his strategies succeeded many times, people would feel that this person is very smart and it is right to listen to him. Then people would gradually forget that the person who made the plan was essentially an ordinary person with flesh and blood.

If you think about it carefully, Baizhong Zhidou is just an ordinary person...

It was only at this moment that Jiang Tianwei's image of Bai Zhongzhidou as the "perfect military strategist" began to crack. That great detective would also have his own weaknesses.

He reflected on this thought at lightning speed in his mind, and at the same time, he put more and more strength into his feet.

He wasted only a second, and his body had already chased to the corner. However, he did not see the figure of the man in black. It was obvious that this group of men in black was an organized action, and they had a car! The streets of Italy were in the tourist season, and there were many cars. Jiang Tianwei had to stop and observe for a while, and then he noticed that a black car was crossing the corner at a very fast speed!

(That’s it!)

After making a judgment in his heart, Jiang Tianwei spat and vented all his anger on the streets of this beautiful Italian capital.

Chasing a car on foot is, under normal circumstances, a very difficult task.

But Jiang Tianwei is still quite confident.

The reason is simple. This is not an endless prairie! This is a city street! There are pedestrians and various vehicles. Moreover, if you want to turn smoothly in the streets and alleys of the city, the speed cannot be too high.

This is like an undefeated chess champion. If you ask him to play chess with only one chess piece, he will not be able to win. As long as there are enough restrictions, the performance gap can be made up.

"Oh! My-God?!"

The Italians on the street couldn't help but sigh when seeing this exciting car chase!

Apart from movies, they had never seen anyone who could run like Jiang Tianwei!

The wind blew all his hair back, and his open shirt fluttered behind him like wings. He lowered his body and stretched his legs forward with all his strength with every step. When his shoes stepped hard on the ground, there was a dull sound that almost cracked the earth.

With every step, the body would fly forward a short distance. This was not running at all, it was just a huge jump without any height!

Jiang Tianwei's speed was already fast, and the car could not move at full speed in this environment. As a result, after only turning two corners, Jiang Tianwei had caught up with the black car.

“[Italian: Damn it, that guy is catching up with us!]”

“[Italian: The guy in the hotel? This is perfect. It can be a gift for [Mr.]”

Seeing Jiang Tianwei's figure in the rearview mirror, the men in black in the black car spoke in Italian.

But from their tone, there was no tension at all, but a sense of ease. I'm afraid they have dealt with this kind of thing more than once in their daily lives.

As for how they dealt with it... I guess you can guess it without me saying it...

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 351 Isn’t the sidewalk very spacious?

Different countries tend to have different cultural tendencies. In European countries, there is a widespread sentiment of "superheroes". That is, the protagonist is often a super-human who is far superior to ordinary people.

Italy is no exception.

The citizens of Rome never thought that they would see a real-life "superhero" one day. Although Jiang Tianwei's speed is not as exaggerated as that of the Flash, it is not something that ordinary people can do to chase a car on foot.

As they marveled at the sight, they said, “This is a tourist destination famous for its scenery!” People explained themselves: “Hey, maybe it’s some famous director shooting a movie!” Rome is a famous filming location, and many international directors come here to shoot. Everyone is used to it.

As for the speed? Maybe they deliberately found an actor who can run very fast, or they tied the actor with a rope and performed it.

This kind of indifference to other people and other things, and the casualness of not exploring the loopholes in logic, can be regarded as the laziness in the bones of Westerners.

After all, these are the people who can say weird things like “When the 9XX incident happened, it was already September 9th in China, why didn’t they notify us in advance?!”

Thanks to the Italians' casualness, Jiang Tianwei was able to catch up with the black car without attracting attention. Jiang Tianwei was thinking about how to catch the black car, when suddenly, he saw the car window open and a man in black leaned out of the window!

Although Jiang Tianwei had never seen Mafia, he had watched movies and played games! He immediately guessed the hidden meaning of this action, stomped his feet hard, and jumped towards the crosswalk next to him...

chug chu...

A burst of machine gun fire rang out, and for a moment, the pungent smell of gunpowder filled the street! The asphalt road that Jiang Tianwei had just crushed with all his strength suddenly had more than a dozen bullet marks!

Sure enough, the guy who leaned his head out of the car window was holding a gun in his hand, and pungent smoke was coming out of the black muzzle.

As mentioned before, Italy's specialty is the Mafia, so the Roman citizens living in the birthplace of the specialty are of course accustomed to it. When they heard the sound of the gun, everyone screamed in unison, and then fled in all directions very decisively, just like they had been tested for a long time and mastered the escape skills.

Less than five minutes after the shooting began, the streets were already quiet?!

Jiang Tianwei dodged left and right, trying not to let the opponent's bullets hit him... He was now hiding behind a car, using the car body as a cover to catch his breath...

(So, why do I have to dodge bullets?)

Suddenly, Jiang Tianwei realized this.

Humans avoid bullets because they are afraid of death and injury...but I don’t have this worry, right?

He is now like the one mentioned before, who has been a human being all his life, and now suddenly surpasses humans, and he is a little uncomfortable.

(Well, it seems that I should stay away from volcanoes and not go against people with the word "jo" in their names.)

While thinking about the anime's plot in his mind, he turned around, grabbed the trunk of the car in front of him with one hand, and with a fierce effort, he heard a loud squeaking of metal, and he actually tore it off with one hand!

This thin sheet of iron naturally couldn't stop bullets. Jiang Tianwei also knew this.

But... who said this thing has to be used to block bullets?

Just look at Jiang Tianwei turning sideways, just like an athlete throwing a discus. Wu Jianmiao had previously commented that he had the physical fitness to easily win the Olympic championship. Now, it was time to assess his achievements in the sport of discus throwing.

He turned around to gather strength in his arms, and then the iron sheet in his hand flew out, spinning at high speed, turning into a sharp disc! He aimed at the street lamp on the road and flew over!

Hiss, the street lights were cut off on the spot.

Boom!

The iron shuriken smashed hard into the wall behind, cutting a deep gash first. Then, the iron sheet was squeezed and bent by its own super-strong power, sticking to the wall.

(Tsk, it seems that hidden weapons are really useless without training.)

Thinking of this, Jiang Tianwei grabbed the street light sign next to him and pulled it up by the roots.

During this period, enemy bullets continued to hit Jiang Tianwei's chest.

Normally, a bullet of this caliber, after penetrating into the human body, will produce a phenomenon called the "cavity effect." That is to say, although the bullet is only that small, because it is constantly spinning and at an incredibly high speed, it will cause a wound in the body that is far larger than the size of the bullet.

If it were a normal human being, this kind of bullet would definitely pierce his body, and then his originally strong body would become tattered.

As for Jiang Tianwei, his body was riddled with bloody holes from the bullets, but he just felt very painful... Even if his internal organs were shattered by the bullets, it would not endanger his life.

Now, he was literally "advancing under the enemy's fire" - he weighed the road sign in his hand, changed direction, raised it over his shoulder like a javelin, took a short run-up, and then Jiang Tianwei threw the road sign over fiercely!

Whoosh!

With the muscle memory that Cu Chulainn had practiced hard before, Jiang Tianwei had some experience in throwing the javelin. The thrown road sign was so fast that it looked like a heavy light! And because the javelin must have an arc attack route, Jiang Tianwei calculated it specially, and it left a parabola in the sky, and with a bang, it hit the hood of the car hard!

With the excessive force, the road sign pole easily passed through the front of the car and penetrated into the ground!

The car lost control immediately because of this action! The front of the car swayed as if it was drunk, and it hit the wall on one side with a bang, and the car was scrapped.

Jiang Tianwei quickly took two steps at a time and rushed to the front of the car.

Although in movies, a car crash of this magnitude often means a big explosion.

But unfortunately, in reality, things like car explosions are not so easy to happen.

Jiang Tianwei pulled open the deformed car door. The car was in a mess. The shattered glass was scattered all over the black clothes of the mafia members...

One, two, three, four... Jiang Tianwei confirmed the number of people in the car, but... there were only four men in black. There was no sign of Bai Zhongzhidou...

"...Anyway, let's get some treatment first."
