Persona: Devil Summoner

It was actually a "coincidence".

After Jiang Tianwei and Yusuke decided to come to Impression Space, they went to Shibuya Station. As a result, on the way there, Jiang Tianwei received a text message from Akechi Goro.

The content is roughly about how he has been a member of the Phantom Thieves for a long time, so is there any time for them to discuss the mission together?

Jiang Tianwei would never believe that his grandson had not eavesdropped or monitored him. Just because he didn't like to use his brain didn't mean he was a fool. How could such an obvious "coincidence" be a real coincidence? Whether you believe it or not, Jiang Tianwei didn't believe it anyway - after all, his last name was not Wang, and he wasn't a spokesperson for a ministry, so he had no obligation to believe everything.

But Jiang Tianwei is not ready to break up with Mingzhi now. This is the advice given by Naoto.

A spy is a hidden mine if you don't know who he is, but if you know who he is, you can take advantage of it.

Naoto was also very curious, hoping to get in touch with some important person by following the line of Akechi.

It's easy to kill Akechi - but what happens next? If you can't figure out who's behind Akechi, then there might be other people like Anzhi, Mingzhi, and Asura who will show up.

So, Jiang Tianwei naturally invited him to the cognitive space.

As for whether this move would expose Yusuke as a member of the Phantom Thieves? Jiang Tianwei had no doubt that Mingzhi had definitely found out the number of members of the Phantom Thieves. He didn't take action for the time being just because he had his own plans, and it was probably related to Okumura Kuniwa and Okumura Foods.

Therefore, it is equivalent to that although you have covered your own cards, others have already used high technology to peek into your cards, and it no longer has the deterrent power that a trump card should have. It is better to find an opportunity to turn it over and use it as an ordinary card.

Now, Jiang Tianwei, Ming Zhi, and Yusuke came to the cognitive space together. The clothes of the three people combined Chinese style, Japanese style and Western style. The colors ranged from black to white. It was simply a big hodgepodge.

Yusuke has no time to care about Mingzhi's affairs now. His mind is all on art. Now his eyes can only look at the space around him. The palace is the limitation of distorted emotions, so he can clearly read the emotions of the palace owner.

But the impression space is different. It can be regarded as a palace for everyone. Everyone has different moods, life experiences, and emotions. It's like, if you paint a painting with bright red, it must be a red painting. But if you paint red, black, blue, purple, green, etc., it will become a chaotic spiral.

What Yusuke is doing now is to try his best to analyze the expression of this "Public Palace" layer by layer and figure out the most genuine human emotions contained in it.

Yusuke, who had entered the artist mode, of course, began to "ignore the people around him", with a fanatical smile on his face under the mask, looking everywhere for materials that could be used as paintings. Jiang Tianwei and Mingzhi, of course, followed him out of boredom, chatting with him in a random manner.

Occasionally, some shadows would appear, but the combat effectiveness of these shadows in the shallow areas was very average. Jiang Tianwei did not take action and said to Mingzhi: "I leave it to you."

Of course Mingzhi knew that this was a great opportunity for him to show himself. No matter if Jiang Tianwei wanted to save energy, find it troublesome, or hide his strength, now was the best time to show himself in front of Jiang Tianwei, so of course he would take the lead.

The wise weapon is the rapier, which is a weapon that is particularly misunderstood by the public. Many people think that the rapier can only be used for stabbing and is very weak. But if you are a cold weapon enthusiast, you should have seen the video to dispel the rumor, right? The rapiers used by those European nobles can easily cut through the bundled straw mats in the hands of the demonstrator.

It is said that the strength of a bundle of straw mats is similar to that of a human body, and being able to cut the straw mats means being able to cut a human body easily.

However, using this weapon does require a lot of skill, and Goro Akechi uses it as a weapon, which is very princely of him.

(Okay, how much strength should I show to Jiang Tianwei... Hehe, if you want to observe my strength, humph, you will suffer a great loss in the future.)

Chapter 439 Sorry, I'm an undercover agent. It's okay. I'm also

"Ah, it's so beautiful... Hehe, ahhhh, it's so beautiful!".

Kitagawa Yusuke's voice echoed in the impression space. The black and red space gave people a weird feeling. Yusuke's echo repeatedly between the walls further highlighted the horror feeling.

At this moment, his eyes were wide open due to enthusiasm, and the muscles on his face were twisted due to excitement. He was holding a sketchpad and pencil in his hands, writing furiously as he walked, recording all his feelings in the impression space.

To him, the truest nature of human beings in the impression space is very beautiful. Although human hearts are ugly, he can clearly feel the true beauty. This feeling is like a fly falling into a bowl of very delicious soup.

If you look at it from the perspective of drinking soup, then no one would be happy to drink this fly bath water, and if nothing unexpected happens, you will have to argue with the store owner. However, if you only look at it from the smell or appearance, this bowl of soup is still great.

The fly is bad, not the soup. To use an analogy, it is said that what is ugly is desire, and what is beautiful is reality. This is probably how it feels.

Jiang Tianwei happened to be thinking the same thing.

However, the beauty in his heart is not about art or desire. After all, he does not have such desire to transcend the world, and he is still happily an ordinary person.

The beauty that Jiang Tianwei saw was Goro Akechi's sword dance.

Just like the classification evaluation just now, although Goro Akechi is a bad guy, his swordsmanship is indeed beautiful. Because of the special structure of the Western sword, many displacement and stabbing techniques are often added to the swordsmanship. Goro Akechi has obviously practiced fencing. His movements are elegant, free and natural, especially his flaxen hair that flutters every time Goro Akechi moves forward or backward...

Just take a few pictures with a camera and they can be directly put into a magazine as a fencing special issue.

(Now I suddenly understand why heroes in ancient costumes always have long hair. Should I give it a try? Although my aunt doesn’t run an inn, maybe she would look handsome with a ponytail?).

Jiang Tianwei was thinking about all these messy things.

At this time, Akechi Goro was posing a standard fencing start, lunging forward, and stabbing with a sword, hitting the throat of the golden ghost. This kind of big ghost with a metallic luster all over the body was tasted enough in the Golden City Palace before. However, it was not enough for the current Phantom Thieves.

The body, which should have been extremely hard, was cut open by Mingzhi's sword and could no longer be penetrated. Mingzhi was not in a hurry. He pressed down the hilt of the sword and cut an X-shaped scar on the golden ghost with two swipes.

"persona! Robin Hood!".

Following Akechi's loud shout, a pure white metal giant emerged from behind him. Judging from his physique, he was a bit similar to Morgana's Zorro, both of whom had the inverted triangle body shape commonly seen in American comics, but this Robin Hood's clothes were the same as Akechi's, both were pure white, and he had a big bow stretched out in his forearm, and it was obvious that this was his main means of attack.

Following Mingzhi's order, Robin Hood stretched out his wrist and aimed at the golden ghost who had just been chopped by him with his fingertips. The X-shaped wound was like a crosshair. Suddenly, a silver-white arrow condensed on Robin Hood's forearm. As Mingzhi stepped back, the arrow flew out and hit the center of the golden ghost's wound. The broken skin could not provide the most basic defense at all, and Robin Hood killed the opponent with one arrow.

As for Mingzhi's swordsmanship, he said that he had systematically studied fencing. Just like those great detectives practiced kendo, barbarism, boxing, judo, football, etc., as a detective, you always have to master one or two self-defense skills to prevent danger.

The reason why he chose fencing was because he said that umbrellas are the most common and easiest to obtain weapons in reality.

Jiang Tianwei was dismissive of this statement.

Can an umbrella be used as a weapon? Of course it can. If anyone dares to raise an objection, be careful that Huang Feihong and Jet Li will blow his head off.

Did Akechi Goro use an umbrella? That's impossible. If what he said was true, he would definitely carry an umbrella with him.

Some people might ask, isn't it suspicious to bring an umbrella when it's not raining? No, you can just say you are the "Detective Prince" and if your skin gets tanned, it will be a loss for all the fans in the country! Wouldn't that fool people? Moreover, you might even be able to trick an umbrella dealer into advertising, and maybe even become a symbol of wisdom, so why not?

And...More importantly...

(Akechi, you are playing tricks on me again.)

Jiang Tianwei praised his swordsmanship, but he still saw the problem at a glance.

Because he noticed that although Mingzhi held the sword in his right hand, he was obviously left-handed.

Although he can use his right hand like a normal person, when fighting, he will still inadvertently reveal the center of gravity shift that only left-handed people have, which is the opposite of normal people.

In other words, this person has a trick up his sleeve.

(Well, I did keep a few tricks up my sleeve for him, so I’m even, right?).

Jiang Tianwei thought so.

As for Yusuke, he has already started to paint seriously.

Yes, sketches can only be used as references. If you really want to participate in a competition, you have to hand in a highly completed work. So, Kitagawa Yusuke set up the easel and took out a large drawing board from his backpack.

"Um, Senior, what is this senior going to do?"

Goro Akechi had just dealt with the shadow in front of him and had no time to wipe the sweat off his face when he saw Yusuke next to him already started drawing.

This behavior really has nothing to do with the word "Phantom Thief", so Akechi Goro couldn't understand what he was doing. After all, rather than creating works of art, a Phantom Thief is more like a profession of stealing art!

He did know that the man wearing the fox mask was Kitagawa Yusuke, Madarame's disciple, but he did not get to know this person more deeply...

This is why Jiang Tianwei called Mingzhi over.

Now Mingzhi still wants to deceive my trust, so he will definitely not do anything to Yusuke.

Once Yusuke starts painting, it will take at least three or four hours. If he is in the mood, it is possible to paint for seven or eight hours. By then, Jiang Tianwei will have to wait for several hours in the impression space...

So if we combine these two points, why not let Akechi be Yusuke's bodyguard? Wouldn't that save a lot of time?

Of course, he was also worried about what would happen if Akechi attacked Yusuke while he was alone. But after thinking about it, he still felt that Akechi would definitely think that this was a test set by him and would protect Yusuke obediently in the end. If he found out that he was really not nearby, it would be time for Yusuke to finish his painting.

In order to prevent any unexpected changes, Jiang Tianwei also released a few demons from his phone in advance. If he dared to attack Yusuke, these demons would rush over without hesitation and act as human shields. Then, as long as Yusuke's drawing board was destroyed, he could be easily freed from his high concentration on art.

(Everything is so perfect. Am I a genius?).

Jiang Tianwei couldn't help but think so with pride. With this free time, it would be great even if he could go home and catch up on some sleep!

Besides, Wu Jianmiao always said before that he wanted to accompany her to do experiments, so he can’t always refuse!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 440 Unexpected Uninvited Guests

Wu Jianmiao's current life is similar to a vacation.

No matter what happened to her, as long as it is posted online, there will definitely be a lot of office workers who will envy her - after all, everyone hides their desire to take a long break, but is reluctant to give up their salary. In the end, they can only hope for supernatural power to burn down the company or unit, so that they can rest naturally and with peace of mind.

However, Wu Jianmiao didn't have much to do during her rest time. For her, doing these research, investigations, and making new drugs were all hobbies. When your hobby happens to be your job, then work is almost the same as rest.

Today, Wu Jianmiao is the same, wandering in the ocean of data.

She likes medicine, otherwise she wouldn't have become a doctor. In this world, there are only two kinds of people who become doctors: one is for interest, hobby, and sense of mission, and the other is for money. Wu Jianmiao is obviously not the latter.

Before, when she was researching drugs for Meihe, she had to work day and night and fight against death, for fear that after she developed the drug, Meihe would die of illness, which would be meaningless.

But now, Jiang Tianwei is full of life, and Wu Jianmiao feels from the bottom of his heart that maybe he is in his seventies or eighties, while Jiang Tianwei is still young and strong.

Since there is no time limit, you can simply enjoy the fun of doing research without any psychological burden.

As a research material, Jiang Tianwei is really of great research value. Wu Jianmiao just has no money, otherwise she would really like to set up a research institute of her own to study Jiang Tianwei, this wonderful life form, every day. At the same time, she also has full respect for the person who invented the demon summoning program.

She glanced at Nuwa who was doing soft gymnastics in the depths of the room, and at Fang Zexia's body sitting in the corner of the room. These were things that completely overturned Wu Jianmiao's common sense.

(So, what are we going to study today? Haha, I’m really looking forward to what my little white mouse will become after it is integrated with this thing?).

Wu Jianmiao couldn't help but glance at the screenshots on her phone. They were all the demons in Jiang Tianwei's app that she had taken before. She was quite interested in a green demon riding a golden chariot. How should I put it? As a medical worker, I am often curious about what level humans can reach. The so-called human limit.

So, that's it, every direction is trying to figure out...how big it can be.

Boom boom boom!

Just as Wu Jianmiao was guessing, there was a knock on the door. She gestured to Nuwa in the room. It is said that old ginger is spicy, and Nuwa, the "hot mom", of course got what she meant immediately, and quickly took Fang Zexia's body and hid in the toilet.

"who?".

Wu Jianmiao asked through the door.

"Hello, I'm senior prosecutor, Sae Niijima. May I ask if Ms. Takemiya is staying here temporarily?"

A lady's voice came from outside the door. Wu Jianmiao took a look through the "peephole" and saw that the other party was holding up her ID, which did not look fake.

Wu Jianmiao frowned, feeling troubled. It is said that no one comes to visit someone for no reason. What good could come from a prosecutor coming to his home?

But you can't refuse. If you try to refuse, although they can't conduct a forced investigation without a search warrant, you will definitely give them the impression that you are guilty, and they will definitely pester you in every way.

Besides, Wu Jianmiao hadn't done anything wrong, so why should she be afraid of a ghost knocking on her door? If a ghost really came to her door, she really wanted to study what kind of guy this ghost that had brought panic to countless people since ancient times was.

After opening the door, the gray-haired woman who claimed to be a senior prosecutor took a step forward. This small step was enough to block the door. If Wu Jianmiao tried to lock her out later, the door would definitely be blocked by her body first.

"Mr. Senior Prosecutor, do you have any instructions for me when you visit my humble home?"

Wu Jianmiao did not hide her disgust at all. It is said that wasting time is equal to stealing money and killing people. Why should she be nice to a "female killer"?

Perhaps Niijima Sae had seen this kind of resistance many times, so he didn't take it seriously at all. He put away his ID and immediately said in a businesslike tone: "I'm here to consult you on some issues."

It can be said that Niijima Sae and Takemiya Tadashi have nothing to do with each other. The only thing that connects them is the Phantom Thieves.

Come to think of it, Shoichi Oyamada, as a director of the Medical Bureau who had no intention of entering politics as a member of parliament, suddenly began to cry and admit his mistakes in front of the media. He must have changed his mind.

Following this information about the changed heart, of course, Takemiya will be involved.

In fact, Niijima Sae wanted to come over to investigate Takemiya a few weeks ago, but Oyamada had too many problems, and Takemiya's priority was far less important than those "black materials". So Niijima Sae had to wait until the work at hand was almost finished before he had time to come over to investigate Takemiya.

Niijima Sae's questions naturally revolved around the Phantom Thief. Takemiya was well prepared for this - after all, she was living with the Phantom Thief, and she had already prepared herself mentally in case she was questioned one day.

Since he was well prepared, Wu Jianmiao answered fluently: "What phantom thief? I've never heard of him." "I'm a medical practitioner. I believe in science, not supernatural powers." "Could it be that now that the police can't figure out the case, they have to blame it on supernatural powers?" His series of answers were flawless, directly cutting off all ties between himself and the phantom thief.

Niijima Sae didn't refute or get angry, she just asked one question after another as if it was a routine matter, and she pretended not to notice Takemiya's provocative attitude.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

Niijima Sae turned around to leave, and Takemiya snorted softly, expressing his dissatisfaction with a nasal sound. Just as he was about to close the door, Niijima Sae suddenly turned his head: "- So I'm a little curious, why are you temporarily staying in this Chinese student's home? Shouldn't it usually be the other way around?"

This sudden attack came quickly and urgently. Wu Jianmiao was indeed a doctor. She had seen life and death on the operating table and her heart had become extremely strong. She did not lie and say that she was a relative - because the other party was a prosecutor, a little

Just investigate and you'll find out.

She just smiled calmly and said, "Why, Mr. Prosecutor, are you going to interfere with other people's freedom of residence?"

"Not really."

"I've suffered a lot because of that guy Oyamada. I don't have the money to live in a luxury apartment, so I can only live with

Poor poor boy sharing the apartment."

“······But isn’t this a single room?”

Niijima Sae's expression darkened, knowing that she must be lying. It was rare for a single man and a single woman to share a house, and even more rare.

What's more, it's a single room! There's only one bed!

"Ah, why is the prosecutor interfering with other people's freedom of love?"
