Persona: Devil Summoner

Jiang Tianwei sighed. He couldn't think of any reason to reject Maruxi. He reached out and held Maruxi's hand.

However, the next moment, Mr. Maruki's brows suddenly frowned, and Jiang Tianwei asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

“······Oh no, the noodles are really going to clumping up!”

Maruki Takuto picked up the swelled instant noodles on the table with a look on his face that looked like he was about to cry.

Well, how should I put it, this person is really...

Jiang Tianwei couldn't find an accurate adjective to describe him, and in the end, he could only sigh. He said, "In short, I don't have any particularly good reasons to convince you now, but since you want to be a collaborator of the Phantom Thieves, you can't use your mind-changing ability indiscriminately. When I think of a way to refute you later, I will come back to discuss it with you. For now, just treat it as an order from the leader!"

"Oh, I don't hate the proper use of power."

Maruki Takuto tried to smile and added, "You are always welcome to come back and discuss with me."

Jiang Tianwei never thought that he would be so upset on the first day of the holiday. In this case, the best choice is to find someone who understands to help him sort out the logic. Now, looking at Jiang Tianwei's social circle, there is only one person who is most suitable for this job, that is Bai Zhongzhidou.

Jiang Tianwei had troubled her too many times, and she was a little embarrassed at first, but now she is used to it. This kind of transformation is very common in the workplace, and is commonly known as a veteran.

As mentioned before, in order to facilitate surveillance of Shujin Academy, Baekjong Naoto chose a house near the school.

It was easy to imagine that if he could use a telescope or something like that to spy on the school in a straight line, then the house would not be too far away, and with his walking speed, it would not take him long to get there.

He knocked on the door, and Bai Zhongzhidou's lazy voice came from the other side, which was rare.

Normally, this great detective who always gives people an unfathomable feeling speaks decisively, and this kind of lazy feeling of not waking up yet is very rare.

Jiang Tianwei shouted "I" through the door. I don't know who started this trend, but whenever I visit someone I know, I always answer "I" when asked who I am through the door. As for who this "I" is? Sorry, please guess based on my voice!

It is obvious that the Baizhong family is a detective family that has cooperated with the police for generations. This speculation is not difficult for her. She knew it was Jiang Tianwei as soon as she heard it.

but······

“Ahhh?! Assistant?! You, you you you, why are you here?!”

Unexpectedly, the sound coming from across the door became more intense and panicked!

Doesn't this look like a straight fight?

Jiang Tianwei asked suspiciously: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Ah! It's okay! It's okay, it's okay! Anyway, don't come in yet! Ten minutes! No, just five minutes!"

Then, there were sounds of chairs falling over, disorderly footsteps, and the chaotic banging and clanging of various things. Jiang Tianwei guessed through the door that the people inside were probably cleaning the room.

(When did Naoto ever care about such things?).

Jiang Tianwei felt more and more that something was not right. Referring to the strange behaviors of Wu Jianmiao and Fang Zexia before, as well as his own abnormal behaviors in recent times, he reasonably speculated that it might be that he was fighting her too?

"I say, Naoto, are you in trouble? I am sorry..."

"No, no, no, I'm fine, don't be rude! It's illegal if you dare to break the door! I will never forgive you in my life! Just wait one more minute..."

The more chaotic the fighting inside became, the more nervous Jiang Tianwei felt.

"The Naoto I know wouldn't be that flustered!".

Jiang Tianwei said this through the door, grabbed the door handle with his hand, and applied a little force. There was a click, and the entire door handle along with the steel plate on it was torn off by Jiang Tianwei.

This is not because the anti-theft door is not powerful. After all, the original design of this door is only for anti-theft, and it does not have the function of protecting against demons. While thinking this in his heart, Jiang Tianwei pulled the door open from the torn hole...

Bai Zhongzhidou was safe and sound, which was the first thing that made Jiang Tianwei feel at ease.

However, the room was in a mess, with tables, chairs and benches scattered on the ground, and the air was full of dust. It was obvious that some violent behavior had just caused the dust to fly into the air. At this time, Bai Zhongzhidou was holding a pile of documents in her arms and was stretching her arms to tear the documents on the wall. When she heard the movement at the door, she turned back in a hurry and said anxiously: "Didn't I tell you to wait! I, I'm safe!"

Jiang Tianwei responded sheepishly. To ease the embarrassment, he looked around, trying to distract himself, but suddenly noticed the document in Naoto's arms. From the corner, he could vaguely see the words "XXX research materials", but the qualifier in front was not clear. He squinted his eyes and tried to get more information from the gap between the paper and Naoto's chest, but Naoto blushed and held the document more tightly: "This information has not been sorted out yet!".

At this point, Detective Bai Zhong blushed, which was rare. He coughed dryly and said, "What's the matter?"

This looks just like a minor who was doing something unspeakable in the room, and suddenly his father or mother pushed the door open and walked in without saying hello!

"Well, although there is something, are you really Naoto..."

Jiang Tianwei looked at Bai Zhongzhidou in front of him suspiciously. The information he had known so far was that there seemed to be an enemy who was very good at mental attacks, or at least good at arousing desires. And now, he and the people around him might have been hit.

So it is normal for him to have some doubts.

But Baek Jong Naoto curled his lips, with an expression of disgust blatantly displayed on his face. To put it in popular terms, he looked like a "damn idiot". She said word by word: "If, let's assume, I'm actually fake or I'm mentally controlled or something, shouldn't I try to behave as similarly as in your memory so as not to be discovered? How could I make such an obvious mistake?"

"Well, it's also possible that the enemy is just a bit stupid..."

"How could a dumber enemy do such a circuitous thing? Using the Chinese culture you are familiar with as an example, can you imagine a fierce Zhang Fei who set up the empty city plan?"

“······I’m sorry! It’s my fault!”

Jiang Tianwei also noticed that he seemed to have made a mistake. He had been a phantom thief for so long, and for the first time he felt the guilt of a thief...

"So, why did you come to me in such a hurry today? To discuss with the Phantom Thieves? To get information about the big villain? Or--".

Bai Zhongzhidou deliberately kept the question in suspense, dragging out the words, and finally said word by word: "Or - the Demon War?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 448 In short, let’s unlock the CG first!

The Demon War, no one knew who was organizing it, and Jiang Tianwei was involved in it completely inexplicably, and had no idea what was going on.

It feels like playing an average role-playing game. The story lacks logic and motivation. It's like, "Don't worry about anything. You are a hero now. Don't worry about what the devil has done. Just beat him up."

For Jiang Tianwei, the Demon War is just an arena where he can kill monsters and become stronger.

Because only Fang Zexia and himself could be teleported in, Jiang Tianwei never tried to tell his companions about this, so naturally Bai Zhong Zhidou didn't know either.

Then why did she suddenly bring up this thing today?

"You, why do you know..."

"Oh, I talked to your next opponent.".

“Oh, oh...ah?”.

Because she spoke so naturally and calmly, Jiang Tianwei didn't even notice it. He only realized it now. Ah, what?! You actually communicated with my opponent?!

Combining this information, it is not difficult to conclude that the beautiful woman in red with a skull head, who was forced to show up yesterday after Baek Jong Naoto put a gun to her temple and threatened to die, was a demon.

Her name is the Great Woman of Babylon (the name has been harmonized).

As the name suggests, she was first an ancient Babylonian and secondly a woman. According to legend, she rode a red monster, held a dirty golden cup, had sex with thousands of men, and led them to depravity. There are even some legends that combine the red monster she rode with the legendary 666 beast.

By the way, although the Chinese often use 666 as a compliment, in ancient European religious terms, 666 is the number of the devil. Many enemies of religions have been suspected of being the reincarnation of the beast 666, such as the Roman tyrant Nero.

Just as all the demons of previous generations have mastered a special [strength], the ability that this Babylonian woman is proud of is, of course - [lust].

Therefore, if someone looks back at the entire demon group, Jiang Tianwei's most difficult person to deal with is this Babylonian woman. After all, as a man, who hasn't dreamed of a beauty, no matter whether it's a male or female beauty.

In fact, this is why the great abbot deliberately surrendered before.

Because his ability [Troubles are Bodhi] is the power to perfectly restrain the desires of the Babylonian woman. Therefore, these two demons will join forces.

Jiang Tianwei had already vaguely realized that the reason these demons participated in this demon war was basically because of Jiang Tianwei. From the perspective of the demon hell angels, it seemed that as long as a demon defeated Jiang Tianwei, he could obtain his body.

This is why the Great Abbot chose to join forces with the Great Woman, not because they both had the same generation name, but because they needed different things. The Great Abbot needed Jiang Tianwei's body. In the long years after his death, he gradually could not accept his own sacrifice and wanted to regain his body and continue to live as a human being.

The needs of the big woman are the soul of Jiang Tianwei, the challenger. The beautiful flesh is insignificant in front of her - and she is a woman, and a charming woman, how could she be willing to enter a man's body to be reborn? How can she find a beautiful boy to play with?

Therefore, she wanted Jiang Tianwei's soul more than his body and added it to her collection.

If Jiang Tianwei had not noticed and had quietly come to the big woman, he would have faced a double attack from the big woman and the big monk. Moreover, Jiang Tianwei had no means to defend against the big woman's charm, and he would probably be immersed in the gentle land directly...

Fortunately, the appearance of Nuwa and Zhong Kui directly solved the hidden dangers in Jiang Tianwei's body. This forced the big woman to change her strategy - that is, since the trip to Rome, Jiang Tianwei has been feeling that he suddenly and uncontrollably thinks about Sese's things.

The several female companions around him were also infected by this force and began to think about issues from the perspective of love.

A big woman uses this kind of desire as her strength, so naturally the more Jiang Tianwei can't give up this desire, the more difficult it will be for him to do anything to her. This is easy to understand.

However, the biggest mistake was made by Baek Jong Naoto.

First of all, she is a woman, and the older women cannot directly seduce her.

Secondly, she is a detective. Even if her head is full of yellow garbage, she can keenly notice that something is wrong with herself, so as to collect intelligence, analyze the situation, and finally deduce the conclusion.

The result was that last night, when Jiang Tianwei was looking at the moon and starting to analyze and deduce, Bai Zhongzhidou was negotiating terms with the Babylonian woman.

"... How should I put it? Now I understand why Luo Guanzhong deified Zhuge Liang."

After listening to Bai Zhongzhidou's story, Jiang Tianwei's eyes widened, and the image of Bai Zhongzhidou in front of him seemed to be much taller in an instant. Jiang Tianwei never thought that there would be such a strong man in this world... who could actually convince the demons from another world.

If Jiang Tianwei were to write a memoir or an autobiography in the future, he would definitely praise Bai Zhongzhidou as much as Luo Guanzhong praised Zhuge Liang. Isn't this too strong? ! Is it really okay for a fool like me to belong to the same species as her? Wouldn't it lower the average of the great master Zhidou? !

What Jiang Tianwei didn't know was that in Bai Zhongzhidou's era, if you wanted to awaken your persona, you had to face the shadow deep in your heart that you didn't want to face one-on-one. Ordinary people were driven crazy by the shadow (that is, the part of their heart that they didn't want to admit), and shouted: "You are not me!"

Only Bai Zhongzhidou debated with his own shadow, and ended up making his own shadow cry. What kind of rhetoric is this? He could win the argument with himself, like a god!

However, since it was a war between demons, everyone had to fight in the end. However, Bai Zhongzhidou reached an agreement with her, at least this big woman would not do anything to Jiang Tianwei before the final battle.

"This, this is really, thank you very much."

Jiang Tianwei thanked her weakly, feeling that thanking her was not enough to express his gratitude.

However, Jiang Tianwei was still not able to let go of his worries, as Bai Zhongzhidou suddenly asked, "I'm a little curious, why didn't you mention the Demon War to us?"

"Oh, I don't think you can help me, so I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry..."

"Really? Are you sure that's the reason? Can't help? I don't think so. Your demon summoning program requires a large number of demons, right? We can help you collect demons, train your strength, and teach you skills. We may not be able to help you directly, but we can help you indirectly. Is this really the reason you didn't tell us?"

Bai Zhongzhidou's eyes seemed to have a kind of magic that penetrated people's hearts, leaving Jiang Tianwei speechless. After she said this, Jiang Tianwei noticed that it seemed to be true. Moreover, he might have been a brat who was unwilling to accept help from others at the beginning, but later he was able to do "a gentleman is good at borrowing from things"? Why didn't he tell his companions?

(Could it be that I was giving myself mental hints, telling myself not to reveal the information about the demon war?)

Jiang Tianwei thought of this terrible possibility.

"Well, you don't have to rack your brain about it."

Bai Zhongzhidou had hidden the documents in his hand in the drawer without realizing it. She locked the drawer twice as if she was worried. She sat on the table, curled up her right leg, hugged it with both hands, and rested her cheek on her knees, with a kind of game CG beauty.

"Leave all the brainwork to me. So, isn't it summer vacation? As the old Chinese saying goes, 'Tension and relaxation are in moderation'. Do you want to relax sometime? I got two concert tickets by chance. It's a concert of a top idol of the era. Do you want to go?"

Jiang Tianwei then noticed that when Bai Zhongzhidou put the documents in the drawer, he took out two tickets. Obviously, the straight-line distance between the two people was very long, there were various obstacles in the middle, and the lighting in the room was not very good, but

Jiang Tianwei's demon-level vision allowed him to easily see the details of the two tickets.

An idol with fluffy twin ponytails was smiling brightly on the ticket. There was a big S written in the corner of the ticket. Usually, this S either means that the idol is a top-notch S-level idol, or that the ticket is an S-level special seat.

(Idols... they're something I've never come into contact with. Well, never mind, let's just take it as a distraction.)

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 449 What is a peerless beauty! (Tactical retreat)

"Forgive me for being so nosy, dear master, but please don't trust the words of that bitch in red too much."

Jiang Tianwei had just left Bai Zhongzhidou's apartment. The ticket in his hand was not warm yet, but his phone was hot. Cleopatra appeared from behind Jiang Tianwei and gave him a serious suggestion.

It was clear that she had suffered a lot at the hands of the Big Woman of Babylon, and was still on guard against this woman.

Jiang Tianwei certainly thought so. Wasn't it because he believed the devil's lies that the great monk almost fell into trouble?

He absolutely believed in Bai Zhongzhidou's eloquence. You said that she could make the older woman speechless, and Jiang Tianwei believed it.

However, whether the woman would do as agreed was another matter. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Since she could form an alliance with the great monk who was full of lies, this woman could not be a devil who kept her word.

But there is no good way now. At least, Jiang Tianwei is not going to fight to the death with the woman until he finds a way to get rid of his desire.

before that……

"And don't forget, Ms. Cleopatra, don't you know that Mr. Maruki Takuto was caught because of us who appeared out of nowhere in reality?"

"Oh, of course I know, dear."

Cleopatra's beautiful eyes moved around and she noticed that the spirit behind JK was rarely with Jiang Tianwei today, so she simply omitted three words from the five-word name.

"If someone saw me appear out of thin air, they would probably think I was a Phantom Thief, right?"

"Even if I don't think so, I would still think you have some supernatural powers..."

"So, what will they do?"

"Then of course we should investigate..."

Jiang Tianwei began to understand what this woman meant.

Yes, why are the Phantom Thieves afraid of being discovered? The core reason is that everyone is a living person in this world and needs to be wary of social death. Although Jiang Tianwei can resist bullets physically, others cannot, so everyone still has to abide by the law and live carefully.

But, Cleopatra doesn't matter? She is a demon. Excuse me, is there any country's law that stipulates how demons should be sentenced for crimes? Moreover, because Cleopatra is a demon, she is not a living person. Even if she is discovered and speculated to be a thief - so what? You can check it out? Unless there is a bored person who finds the restored statue of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh, you will never find the true identity of this peerless beauty.
