Persona: Devil Summoner

Jiang Tianwei muttered to himself as he opened the demon summoning program.

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

Baek Jong-doo, isn't he in the car?

Indeed, not here.

No matter how powerful Naoto was, it was impossible for him to escape easily without being discovered by three or four strong men.

The mafia obviously knew that Jiang Tianwei might chase after them, so they were prepared. The mafia prepared two cars.

One is a classic, and everyone will associate it with the black luxury car of the Mafia, which makes people want to chant "Flower of Hope". This is the car that Jiang Tianwei is chasing.

This is a bait. Not only is the color combination classic, but it also deliberately drives very fast, just to lure away Jiang Tianwei, the killer.

The other one was just an ordinary car that you can see everywhere without any special features. Moreover, it was driving very slowly on purpose, as if it was sightseeing.

This is the so-called misconception. Everyone would think that in this kind of scene where people are kidnapped and taken away in a car, the kidnapping car must be driven very fast, but the Mafia did the opposite. It can be seen that they often do this kind of thing on weekdays and know very well how to mislead the police's search.

After confirming that Jiang Tianwei was chasing another car, the car began to slowly accelerate.

Bai Zhongzhidou carefully looked at the people in the car. The two men in black were holding his arms and mouth. A man in casual clothes was driving in front. One person didn't get on the car at all. He ran away directly. He probably thought it would be more confusing to split into three groups, just like a cunning rabbit has three caves.

(Is it the Mafia... an act of revenge against us? Or...)

As she was thinking this, she suddenly noticed that the person sitting in the passenger seat looked a little strange.

What's strange about that? Because it's obviously not a man.

From Bai Zhongzhidou's perspective, he could only see part of the body, but it was obvious that it was a woman. The skin that could be seen through the red gauze was enough for Bai Zhongzhidou to feel the overwhelming pheromone difference.

(Just looking at her body is beautiful, I wonder if that face will... No, why would I think about such a thing? Now is not the time to pay attention to such things, I should think about how to leave some clues for my assistant...)

Just when Bai Zhong Zhidou was trying his best to calm down, suddenly, the woman in the passenger seat turned her head... It was a beautiful red gauze crown decorated with gold.

And under that crown... is a cold and eerie skull!

Chapter 352: As the saying goes, great people hide in the city

"We're here! Get out of the car!"

Bai Zhongzhidou was pushed by the mafia next to him and came to his senses.

(Oh no, what happened during this time? How come I’m here now… Didn’t I think of a solution in the car?)

While thinking this in his mind, Bai Zhong Zhidou secretly glanced at the people in the car: a driver dressed as an ordinary tourist, two men in black on his left and right, and himself, a total of four people.

Naoto knew that he shouldn't disobey these guys who were really going to do something nasty, so he cooperated and got out of the car.

Seeing how cooperative she was, the mafia didn't use violence against her. They blocked her escape route and took her into a building that looked very normal, no different from an ordinary office building.

Who would have thought that this ordinary office building was actually the headquarters of the largest mafia in Rome? It is said that great men hide in the city. When you really see it once in real life, even Naoto can't help but admire it.

The mafia took her all the way to the middle floor. At first glance, this place was no different from an ordinary office building. The part visible through the window was normal, but in the middle, there was a space surrounded by white walls.

The plainclothes mafia knocked on the door and got a response from inside. He opened the door and went in with Bai Zhongzhidou. The two black-clad men turned their backs and guarded the door to prevent anyone from entering.

The environment inside the door looked like an ordinary large conference room. However, no one was sitting at the U-shaped table. There was only a middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s who looked a little hunched over, and four bodyguards on both sides.

Hearing the door open, the middle-aged man turned around. There was nothing special about his appearance, just a very common Italian man who was starting to gain weight in middle age.

But those eyes... were as sharp as an eagle's, and as cunning as a fox's. Just one look made Naoto realize clearly that this was a guy who was not easy to mess with... He might be the boss of this mafia organization.

Bai Zhongzhidou was about to speak when the middle-aged man stretched out his hand and interrupted her.

"Sit down first."

He said this in fluent Japanese, and a bodyguard pulled out a chair in front of him, and the boss sat on it. Bai Zhongzhidou glanced at the mafia beside him. He obviously had no intention of pulling out the chair for her, so she could only do it herself.

"Can you speak Japanese?"

"I lived in Japan for a while."

As the boss spoke, he coughed dryly, and the man in black beside him took out a remote control, operated the projector on the ceiling, and projected a video on the white wall behind him.

That was the scene of Jiang Tianwei killing everyone in the hotel.

However, because Baek Jong Naoto had deliberately conducted surveillance operations, only the scene of Jiang Tianwei breaking someone's ribs was left. Supernatural phenomena such as summoning demons were deliberately ignored by her.

"These are your companions, right? What are you doing in Rome? Why are you clashing with our people?"

His voice sounded gentle, but the sharp hostility deep in his words could not be hidden and pierced the illusion of peace.

As a detective, Bai Zhongzhidou has arrested many criminals, and of course there are those who will threaten you, so he is no longer surprised. She said calmly: "Rather than saying that we are in conflict with you, it's more like you took the initiative to come and cause trouble for us."

"Indeed."

Unexpectedly, Naoto thought that the old man would never admit it, but he didn't expect that the other party admitted it very readily.

"I clearly didn't give any orders, but my subordinates said they did receive my calls. It's getting more and more unpredictable... this era."

As the boss spoke, his eyes looked up at the ceiling, as if he could see through the walls, watching the rolling clouds under the blue sky.

In this regard, the Mafia is similar to the gangs. In this era that is increasingly focused on high technology, they are gradually becoming unable to cope with the situation. If you ask them to fight and kill, they are not afraid of anyone, but if you ask them to play with computers and mobile phones and commit high-tech crimes, it is too difficult for them.

Especially this boss, it is obvious that his family is a very traditional mafia.

"But, lady, sometimes, it's not enough to just talk about reason. I am the master of the whole family. No matter what the reason is, I will give them an explanation for the unexplained deaths and injuries of my family members. Although they are called..."

The boss seemed to be unable to remember the name. A man in black leaned over and whispered to him. The boss nodded, patted his shoulder, and continued: "Although they were instigated by that Medjay, in the end, my family members were killed by you. This blood debt must be paid with blood from you."

When Bai Zhong Zhidou heard him talk about blood payment, he felt the air around him suddenly tighten. The middle-aged man in front of him, who looked ordinary, seemed to have suddenly transformed, and murderous intent burst out from his body.

It's just like... a sharp blade thirsty for blood.

Normally, it is not visible because the sword is kept in the scabbard, but today, when the sword was drawn, the violent factor that looked down on the world still made Bai Zhong Zhidou break into a cold sweat.

That is the smell of blood that can only be produced by killing, killing, and killing continuously.

"So, you want my companions to pay with their lives?"

Bai Zhong Zhidou asked, trying to remain calm.

"...That's not the case. If I kill you, your family won't come back. But I'm very interested in you. Especially your companion. That man's fighting ability far exceeds the humans I know. What method did he use? I hope you can tell us about it."

Bai Zhongzhidou felt a little relieved. No matter what, as long as the other party didn't forcefully say that they wanted to kill everyone, it meant that there was still room for negotiation. What he had to do next was no different from usual, which was to extract key information from the few words, find the key to breaking the deadlock, and use the least loss to exchange for the safety of everyone.

"And... I personally hope to establish a friendly relationship with you - Interpol's special partner, Ms. Baekjong Naoto."

Just when Bai Zhongzhidou just felt a little relieved, the boss suddenly dropped a bombshell.

(Do you know my identity?… They deliberately said this when I was relieved, are they trying to shake me? Are they pointing out my identity here to force me to provide them with information? Or…)

"Tonight, our family happens to have a very gorgeous dinner party. I really hope Miss Naoto can attend. I..."

Before the boss finished speaking, his phone suddenly rang. He made a silent gesture to Naoto and answered the phone in front of her. However, this time he spoke in Italian.

But, in fact, it doesn't matter whether you understand it or not, because what he said is just "um", "ah", "yes, I understand". Based on these words, the Golden Immortal Daluo couldn't guess what the other party said... Fortunately, the other party didn't intend to hide it.

"It seems that your partner really cares about you and is very powerful. The four family members I sent out as bait all lost consciousness. According to the spies, he seemed to have caught up with the car on his own two legs, and was able to withstand machine gun bullets and use road signs as javelins... My God, are all Interpol officers such monsters now?"

The boss's exclamation didn't seem fake. Perhaps he really didn't expect to see such an exaggerated guy. He probably had religious beliefs, and he instinctively drew a cross on his body with his fingers.

"Anyway, this is the situation. Ms. Naoto, I hope we can establish a harmonious cooperative relationship. As for your companion coming to rescue you, don't think too much about it... After all, he has been tricked away by luring the tiger away from the mountain. Chinese military tactics are really good stuff."

"Well, I have to remind you that my assistant is a genuine Chinese. If you try to use Chinese military tactics in front of him, you may end up capsizing."

"Really? Then I'm really looking forward to it - sending Miss Naoto to rest. Let him have a good rest before night."

Chapter 353 Do you love Kai Wushuang?

No matter how smart Bai Zhongzhidou is, her body is still just that of an ordinary person, and she can't fight against these real guns and bullets. There is no better way now, and she can only listen to them. Bai Zhongzhidou silently follows the mafia around him and prepares to leave.

He opened the door, but through the gap, he could no longer see the men in black who had been guarding the door.

Bai Zhong Zhidou turned his head curiously, trying to get more information from the gap beside the mafia in front of him. Suddenly, he heard a thud, and the mafia who had just stood in front of him blocking the door fell to the ground and did not move.

died?

No, Bai Zhongzhidou could still hear his snoring——he was actually asleep? !

After the Mafia fell, the previously blocked vision suddenly became clear!

I saw a young man with black hair and black eyes, a sly smile on his face, holding a huge white bag in his hand. He smiled and said to the people in the room: "Merry-Christmas! Although it's still a little early, can you please accept the gifts that the handsome Santa Claus sent you?"

Those who can get the position of the boss's personal bodyguard are naturally the most elite people in the mafia. When they saw an outsider standing at the door and their brothers lying on the ground, although they didn't know what he did, they drew their guns without hesitation. Their movements were neat and without any redundancy, just like well-trained killing machines.

However, Jiang Tianwei grabbed the door first, and with a fierce move, he pulled out all the screws that fixed the door axis with a few bangs! He grabbed Zhidou's waist with the hand holding the bag, and grabbed the door panel with his free hand, using it as a shield to protect himself!

If it were an ordinary door, it would definitely not be able to block the bullets.

But don't forget, what is this place? This is the lair of the mafia! What a dangerous job! How could the door of the boss's room be ordinary? They are specially thickened and reinforced with bulletproof treatment!

It is no exaggeration to say that even if the police use a rocket launcher to attack, this door can withstand several rounds.

But no one would have thought that this door would be used by Jiang Tianwei in reverse.

Without waiting for the other party to shoot, Jiang Tianwei kicked the door panel and kicked it away like a weapon. The wide door panel turned into a brutal weapon and flew towards the boss and his bodyguards! One bodyguard reacted quickly and immediately threw down his "sir", but the other three bodyguards were not so lucky.

The man at the edge barely dodged sideways, but the two people standing in the inner position suffered. Although they reacted, they were not as fast as the door panel that was kicked away, and were directly hit against the wall! The two bodyguards fainted on the spot after being hit hard on the head.

However, I'm afraid fainting on the spot would be considered a good thing.

Because Jiang Tianwei completely ignored the fact that he was holding a living person in his arms, and completely ignored her weight, and jumped up, kicking the bodyguard who had just escaped in the chest! The kick was so powerful that it kicked him out. Seeing that the bodyguard's chest sank a lot, it was estimated that a whole piece of his ribs were kicked to pieces.

The bodyguard who had just knocked down the boss immediately raised his gun, not wasting time aiming, and fired a shot.

Jiang Tianwei's calf was attacked, and a bloody hole appeared at that time. But he didn't care at all. He walked in front of the bodyguard and deliberately stepped on the muzzle of his gun with his injured foot. With a little force, a strange metal friction sound was heard. The sturdy gun was actually crushed into a discus by his foot.

"Well, it's time for the good kid to go to bed - do you want me to sing you a lullaby? I'm pretty good at it."

As Jiang Tianwei said this, he casually took out a handful of... sand from the white pocket?

Then he threw the sand into the bodyguard's eyes. Strangely enough, the bodyguard was so eager to fight Jiang Tianwei, but when the sand hit his face, his head tilted and he fell into a deep sleep.

This is a treasure held by the demon called "Sleeping Demon".

Insomniacs exist in every country, and naturally, every country has its own ways and rumors to deal with insomnia, such as lullabies, sleeping songs, counting sheep, listening to teachers' lectures, etc. In Germany, there is a legend that there is a demon who throws sand into people's eyes. Once people are sprinkled with this special sand, they will fall into a drowsy sleep and cannot be woken up no matter how hard they try.

Jiang Tianwei summoned this sleep demon, and then borrowed this bag full of sand from him. The effect was, of course, very significant.

Jiang Tianwei's reflexes were beyond ordinary people, and his speed was also amazing. He only needed to rush over and sprinkle sand before the other party drew his gun, and the other party would fall asleep. If he didn't shoot, he wouldn't alert other people in the building. What a perfect tactic.

As for why he is here...

That’s of course because Jiang Tianwei has made preparations for both scenarios!

When he saw Baek Jong Naoto being taken away, he immediately opened his cell phone and summoned the devil.

Then why didn't any passers-by express surprise?

Of course, everyone's attention was drawn to the fact that the man in black had forcibly abducted a woman in broad daylight. Moreover, the demon Jiang Tianwei summoned was not some exaggerated demon...

But it was the Yatagarasu that was summoned before.

The biggest advantage of Yatagarasu is that if you don't tell anyone, who would notice that it is a demon? It looks like an ordinary crow!

That is, concealment.

Moreover, Crow had very good eyesight and immediately spotted Baek Jong Naoto's figure through the car window.

As for why Jiang Tianwei didn't chase Naoto but instead chased the trap?

Of course, even clay can get angry, not to mention Jiang Tianwei, who is so weak... The first time you hit me, I could understand that it was Meijiede who instigated me, and I could forgive him. But this time it was a real provocation.

Jiang Tianwei also wanted to use direct fighting to find the location of the opponent's lair.

So he first went after the bait, giving the other party the feeling that he had fallen into a trap.

After that, all that was left was to wait for Yatagarasu to send him Naoto's location.

"...You are so brave. I clearly received a message saying that you were attracted by the bait. How did you find this place?"

The boss got up from the ground. As expected of a superior, even though he was in such a mess, he spoke slowly and was not in a hurry at all.

Jiang Tianwei smiled and said word by word: "Who wants to explain it to you? Bah~ga~!"

Yes, why do you have to explain? He has learned enough lessons from watching animations about this kind of thing. Every time, the villain has gained an overwhelming advantage, but is not in a hurry to kill the protagonist. He has to explain to the other party why he did these things and what kind of great magical powers he used. Then, in the end, he will definitely be defeated by the protagonist.

Jiang Tianwei has no interest in being a villain, and he certainly doesn't want to be the one who is counterattacked.
