Persona: Devil Summoner
Page 185
Mitsuyo Togo is clearly the kind of misled person mentioned above.
The pyramid in her mind was a very small thing. It looked to be about four or five apartment buildings wide, but only about ten stories high as an ordinary apartment building, which was seriously shrunk.
This pyramid also has a dark square opening, which may be a door.
Adhering to the simple fighting philosophy of a "Jackie Chan-style hero" who believes that if he can't beat me, he will just run away, Jiang Tianwei drove his motorcycle into the pyramid.
It is very dark inside the pyramid, which is different from the cyber pyramid on Futaba's side. As you can imagine, this kind of building without windows cannot let in light, so it will of course be very dark.
It's just that normally there should be candles lit inside the pyramid. After all, it's impossible for the Egyptians to go in in the dark to put food or place the pharaoh's body. But Mitsuyo Togo has never been there and has no interest in it, so naturally he can't imagine what's going on inside.
With the help of the lighting from the flaming wheels, Jiang Tianwei could barely see the road inside.
The pyramids in history should have intricate roads inside, and would be divided into mausoleums, preservation rooms, and tombs of concubines. But this pyramid has nothing inside. There is just an empty shell on the outside, and the inside is just a dark triangular space.
It was only when he drove to the center that Jiang Tianwei saw a coffin.
This place was totally different from what he expected.
He imagined that this place was either full of shadows that would attack him as soon as he entered, or there were a huge number of traps, with paralysis every three steps and poison every five steps, and a teleportation after walking a hundred or so steps... But in the end, there was nothing!
Of course, the magnificent treasure he imagined did not exist. This pyramid was just an ordinary... um... warehouse? That's probably what it felt like.
This is consistent with most people's understanding of fairy tales.
People don’t need to know what happened before the fairy tale happened. If you are told that there is a princess, then there is a princess. You don’t need to know how the kingdom was born. Similarly, people only care about how Alibaba fought with the forty thieves, but they don’t care where the forty thieves got so much treasure, nor do they know how they found the cave that opened the sesame.
If you don’t care, you naturally won’t imagine, and naturally it will be empty.
With the mentality of not returning empty-handed after entering a mountain of treasures, Jiang Tianwei pushed open the coffin. At the same time, he summoned his service gun in his hand and prepared himself mentally: (If there was a blond, blue-eyed, muscular vampire lying inside, he would immediately shoot the outer wall of the pyramid and give him a sunbathing package.)
Sometimes I have to sigh at the accuracy of Jiang Tianwei's sixth sense!
In this coffin, there really is a blonde - woman?
She has these typical female features, and is no less beautiful than any other woman Jiang Tianwei has ever seen (including those he has seen on TV and computer), and even surpasses them in terms of peerless beauty.
The short light golden hair was neatly scattered in the coffin, decorated with a golden snake-shaped headdress. The beautiful face was like a crystal-clear jade, but it also revealed the softness that a living being should have. The light red lips seemed like the cherry on the cake, making people stop their eyes. If you can resist this temptation, looking down along it, you will see the delicate clavicle and a pair of small peaks with obvious ups and downs.
She is simply the embodiment of beauty, eye-catching!
Silk...silk...silk...
However, what is more captivating than her beauty is her right hand.
To be precise, it was the snake that grew out of her right hand.
Has anyone heard of the legend of Medusa? According to the legend, this Greek lady had no normal hair, and poisonous snakes grew out of her head. The beautiful female mummy that Jiang Tianwei saw today (whether this lady is a mummy or not is still debatable) had white skin on her right hand that gradually faded from the elbow down, and turned into snakes that crawled out of her wrist.
At this time, although the beauty with her eyes closed did not show any expression, the snakes made threatening sounds to Jiang Tianwei who abruptly pushed open the coffin. One after another, the snakes stood up, spitting out their tongues and staring at Jiang Tianwei with their emotionless snake pupils.
There is an idiom in China called a femme fatale. It means that although a person has a nice appearance, at heart he is a vicious person like a snake or scorpion. From this point of view, this beauty is really too "exposing".
Jiang Tianwei tried to move the tip of his gun towards the coffin, and immediately saw the nearest snake head flash out and bite his gun blade! Jiang Tianwei quickly pulled it away, because of the characteristics of the gun blade, the originally strong snake tooth was easily cut in half by him! From the broken teeth, thick dark green venom continued to flow, sticky, and dripped onto the white and flat belly of the woman lying in the coffin...
"Huh?! It's so cold! What are you doing?!"
Then a cry was heard from the coffin, and the peerless beauty sat up from the coffin, her fair and beautiful left hand formed a sharp contrast with her venomous right hand. At this time, her jade-like left index finger pointed angrily at the snakes in her right hand: "What are you doing! Haven't I told you many times not to drip venom on me! Do you know how difficult it is to wash this white clothes! And it's cold and sticky, so disgusting!"
She blamed her right hand like this. This behavior of condemning herself was really novel. Jiang Tianwei couldn't help but stand aside and watch the show.
Considering that the pyramids are the pharaohs' tombs, it is not difficult to understand that the woman in this coffin must be a pharaoh.
Ancient Egypt was a patriarchal society like most feudal societies, so it was very rare for a woman to become a pharaoh. Jiang Tianwei only knew two female pharaohs: Hatshepsut and Cleopatra. The latter, in particular, was very famous around the world for her nickname, Cleopatra.
Even if you are not interested in Ancient Egypt, you are definitely interested in Yan. It is quite well-known.
Interestingly, although Cleopatra was called the Queen, giving people the impression that she rose to power by relying on her beauty, in fact her political actions were quite wise. She could not be said to be a wise ruler, but she was definitely not an incompetent monarch.
So, who is this female pharaoh before us?
"Ah, I slept too long and didn't notice that there is a cute little brother here. What's the matter? Did you get lost and come to your bedroom? Do you want to come over and sleep with me? It's very comfortable~".
Before Jiang Tianwei could reason, he heard the woman greet him in a sweet voice. She smiled like a flower and waved her left hand, signaling him to come over. However, the snake in his right hand threatened him and opened its mouth wide, as if to bite him to death if he dared to come over.
"Um, may I ask, big sister, which Pharaoh are you?"
"My name? My name is Cleopatra VII. I am the official pharaoh of the Ptolemaic Dynasty. Hehe, little brother, have you heard of my name?"
It's Cleopatra?!
Jiang Tianwei couldn't help but look at the beauty's posture more seriously, and finally, he had to draw a conclusion:
"As expected, Marie Annie! She is so beautiful!"

Chapter 388 Integrity is the basis!
As a modern person, I have grown up in an environment of fraud since childhood.
Think about it carefully. Has the beef noodles on the instant noodles bag been different from what you actually eat since you were a kid? Has the magical toy that can fly in the advertisement actually looked stupid in your hands? Has your cousin who plays cooperative games with you always said to you: "Hey, this is a piece of junk. I'll take it and give you the next awesome one!" It was not until many years later that you found out that the thing he took away was the legendary artifact when you went online
It can be seen that honesty between people did not gradually disappear later.
However, in this environment of dishonesty, there are still some conscientious people who are truthful and pragmatic. Obviously, Cleopatra is such a conscientious person. Her nickname is Cleopatra, and her beauty really deserves this reputation.
Jiang Tianwei thought that he had seen many types of beauties, like the cute type like the Yoshizawa sisters, the cold and arrogant type like Takemiya, the gentle type like Kawakami teacher, the noble type like Nuwa, the androgynous beauty like Shinjima Makoto, the intellectual beauty with a huge contrast like Baekjong Naoto, and the mixed-race model like Takamaki An. He wouldn't dare to say that he had seen countless women, but at least he had seen many types.
Even so, when he saw the Egyptian queen for the first time, he still thought she was extremely beautiful! This shows how beautiful she was.
She was also very satisfied with Jiang Tianwei's look of shock at her beauty. She covered her mouth and giggled: "What? Are you stunned?"
"Yes, indeed."
Jiang Tianwei had to admit that her beauty was indeed stunning.
"So, little brother, why did you come to my bedroom?"
Cleopatra said this, and in her pair of bright yellow eyes, the black pupils revealed a cold snake-like light.
Although she looks like a beauty, she is still a devil at heart.
"Well, although it may sound a bit strange to say this, I actually want to borrow my sister's bedroom for a while."
As soon as Jiang Tianwei said this, the beautiful Pharaoh seemed to have heard a funny joke, she covered her stomach with her left hand and laughed. It is said that a smile can make people feel relaxed, Jiang Tianwei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw her smile.
However, the beauty's smile suddenly stopped, and the relaxed atmosphere brought by the smile instantly turned into a cold and murderous atmosphere! She said slowly, word by word: "Did that damn red-dressed bitch ask you to come and cause trouble for me?"
"ha?".
Jiang Tianwei was stunned, thinking what the hell is going on?!
Red clothes... His first reaction was Nuwa. But the adjective behind it was...
"Hmph, stop pretending. The stink of that bitch is about to overflow from you. Although I don't like fighting, you have provoked me again and again, and I am not someone you can easily mess with!"
As she spoke, Cleopatra raised her wrist. As her wrist danced lightly, a white light so strong that it was impossible to open one's eyes instantly captured Jiang Tianwei's vision!
There is a saying that if one of the five senses of a person is missing, the others will become sharper as a result. For example, this is why blind people often have better hearing than ordinary people.
Now, because Jiang Tianwei was deprived of his vision, his skin sense of touch became sharper! The flesh touched by the white light was clearly sending painful signals to the brain! It was as if a tingling sensation like burning invaded his body in large areas, as if there were countless tiny steel needles everywhere washing his body.
Jiang Tianwei couldn't help but feel furious when he heard the ancestors of his nation being insulted like this. Now, people started fighting without saying a word. How could Jiang Tianwei endure it?
Since you started it first, you can't blame me.
As he thought this, the spear in his hand immediately spun around, and his demon-level arm strength was exerted to the limit. He turned the spear into a shield-like disk. As his arms turned, the spear shield quickly spun around him, protecting his body and preventing Cleopatra from getting close.
This is the unique move commonly seen in storytelling [Night Fighting Eight Directions Hidden Knife Style]! .
The sticky feeling of the gun blade tearing through the air, the impact force transmitted to the palm of the hand when it accidentally touched the ground, and the tingling sensation caused by the constant burning of the body, all mixed into Jiang Tianwei's thinking center. All kinds of information were stimulating his brain, making him a little dizzy.
(I don’t think I hit the target. She’s not near me… But now I can’t see with my eyes. It’s really troublesome. It would be great if I could awaken a skill like the Mind’s Eye.)
Jiang Tianwei thought so. In various novels, when faced with such a situation, the protagonist would always suddenly awaken to such unscientific things and then be able to see everything perfectly. But is it so simple in reality? There is no such thing as a free lunch. This is Jiang Tianwei's most sincere feeling during this period of time in a foreign country.
In this world, most people are probably suffering from varying degrees of pain, and everyone is carrying unbearable pressure. Everyone is longing for a savior, or for a sudden awakening of special abilities, or for a lucky lottery win. However, these are just idle fantasies. Just thinking about it, the situation will not change.
If you want to fly, you must first spread your wings. If you always keep mumbling about your longing for the blue sky but never spread your wings, and just keep waiting for some super power to help you fly, then be prepared to wait a lifetime.
Therefore, Jiang Tianwei was not prepared to sit and wait for death, nor was he prepared to wait for the enemy to suddenly show kindness, nor was he prepared to wait for himself to suddenly obtain a plug-in and awaken his mind.
"On the count of three, you'd better remove this light."
Jiang Tianwei's voice echoed in the empty pyramid, bouncing off the walls, revealing a strange grandeur.
Naturally, Cleopatra ignored him and continued to increase the intensity of the light.
Jiang Tianwei ignored her and just counted one, two, three.
Until he shouted out those three words... then he suddenly stopped his spear and slammed it hard into the ground!
There was a crisp sound, and the end of the gun penetrated the ground directly under his strange power! The strong vibration penetrated the ground, and a tornado-like gust of wind suddenly exploded around him! The sudden explosion of wind spread a certain "object" in one breath!
That was the skill Jiang Tianwei used the least, [Deadly Plague], which he learned from the Four Horsemen of the Demonic Apocalypse. Just as the name implies, it was something that could explode the plague virus around his body.
As a person with flesh and blood and moral ethics in modern society, he certainly knows how terrible biological weapons are and how much damage they can cause. So he instinctively resists using this ability.
After all, the Phantom Thieves always act as a group, and it would be bad if the virus infected other people.
Now, there are only two living beings here, and one of them is not a human but a demon. It is rare that I can use this ability without any scruples.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Although Jiang Tianwei couldn't see anything, he could still clearly hear the coughing sound coming from a certain angle, which the woman tried her best to cover up but couldn't cover up at all...
When Jiang Tianwei heard this, he kicked the gun barrel that he had just poked into the ground. The gun barrel that was embedded in the ground was hit hard and turned directly into a shovel, lifting up a large piece of the solid stone bricks on the ground and flying towards the direction of the sound!
He didn't attack directly with the spear because Jiang Tianwei couldn't determine the distance of the enemy. After all, even in martial arts novels, only some top masters can use the ability to locate the enemy by sound. It seems that this is a rare skill, and not everyone can do it.
It would be better to just throw this stone over there.
Even if you can't hit the opponent, using stones to interfere with the enemy is also very good!
"ah?!"
Obviously, Cleopatra had not expected Jiang Tianwei to attack her so brutally. She was startled and uttered a coquettish cry. The white light that had captured Jiang Tianwei's sight finally dissipated. Jiang Tianwei made a prompt decision, flew over, and pointed the spear in his hand at Cleopatra's white neck!
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 389 The side that plays the trump card first will definitely?
Jiang Tianwei's shot was fast and fierce. Although his eyesight had not fully recovered, he could already vaguely see Cleopatra's silhouette. He naturally used the stone as a barrier to block the spear in his hand!
Originally, this bullet should have definitely pierced her neck.
However, the speed of Jiang Tianwei's spear gradually slowed down in mid-air.
He was clearly thrusting forward with all his strength, his arms exerting all their strength without any slack, but the spear did not follow the expected trajectory in the end...
If it were someone else, perhaps this was a miscalculation, a lack of understanding of their own body, or a lack of proficiency in their fighting skills. But the demon bullfighter that Jiang Tianwei defeated at the beginning was a monster who had honed his skills to the peak. With his abilities, Jiang Tianwei would not make such a low-level mistake.
As the saying goes, once you have seen the sea, you will never be impressed by the puddles. This is like a person who graduated from MIT with a master's degree. Even if he has not done any exercises for ten years, if you ask him about 1+1, he will still be able to answer, "It equals two if the calculation is correct."
but now……
Jiang Tianwei glanced at his arm out of the corner of his eye. He didn't know when his arm had grown much thicker, and dark purple abscesses covered his wrists. He could see his blue meridians and blood vessels. There were two obvious small holes on his arm, and disgusting things that looked like blood and pus were gushing out.
It's a snake!
Jiang Tianwei reacted immediately!
Normally, everyone feels pain when bitten by a snake.
What's more, Jiang Tianwei was in a state of high alert just now, and his sense of touch was very sensitive even though he had lost his sight. No matter how you think about it, he shouldn't have been attacked by a poisonous snake.
However, the word "usually" basically exists for "special circumstances".
It was precisely because Jiang Tianwei was unable to see just now that he became nervous. In order to cope with this tension, his body would naturally secrete more adrenaline to help his master overcome the difficulties.
Adrenaline has a certain paralyzing effect and can relieve pain. This is why many soldiers on the battlefield do not feel pain when they are wounded while fighting bravely, but when they leave the battlefield and temporarily gain peace, the pain will burst out.
At the same time, I believe everyone has encountered mosquitoes in the summer, right? Why do you not feel pain when you are bitten by a mosquito, but only feel itchy afterwards? The answer is that the mosquito will apply its paralyzing saliva on your skin, penetrate into your body, and the mouthparts are very thin, so you can't detect it at all.
Don't forget that the white light emitted by Cleopatra not only steals the eyesight, but also causes constant burning pain in the body. Humans are highly adaptable creatures. When they are constantly exposed to certain stimuli, they will instinctively resist such stimuli.
For example, when you are in cold weather, your muscles will instinctively contract. This is a common sense.
Therefore, the secretion of adrenaline is used to alleviate the pain, because the continuous burning naturally increases the anticipation of pain, and people become more and more accustomed to this pain. In addition, the poisonous snake spits paralyzing venom on Jiang Tianwei's arm before attacking. As a result, he was bitten by the poisonous snake without noticing it at all.
Cleopatra's death is a mystery in history. People who love to study Egyptian history have put forward many hypotheses. One of them, which is also the legendary one, is that Cleopatra hid a poisonous snake in her arm and used it to end her own life.
This is probably why the right forearm of this peerless beauty is a terrifying poisonous snake?
