Persona: Devil Summoner

There are only two possibilities for two unrelated things to suddenly show up at my doorstep. One is a scam. But this possibility is not high. The core purpose of a scam is to make money. No one would deliberately scam a poor community doctor like me who needs to stay at someone else's house.

Or, someone acted as a middleman and connected himself with the detective and the consortium. As the saying goes, a friend of a friend is a friend, that's the truth.

Of course, the identity of this middleman is about to be revealed.

Wu Jianmiao thought so and drank all the coffee that had long gone cold as if to vent his anger. His eyes rolled and he had an idea in his mind...

Jiang Tianwei came back as late as usual today. He thought he was a stay-at-home, but unexpectedly, he spent the holiday like a real person. He didn't know whether he should be thankful or not.

Jiang Tianwei returned home yawning. As a result, as soon as he came back, he saw Wu Jianmiao sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, flipping through a newspaper. When she heard the door open, she rolled her eyes without even looking up and said, "Are you back?"

"Ah, I'm back.".

Jiang Tianwei looked tired, and it was obvious that he had been called out to do something very tiring today.

"A woman named Baek Jong Naoto came here today."

Takemi Mitsuyoshi said in a casual tone.

"oh.".

Jiang Tianwei didn't care and changed his shoes while taking off his coat.

"She claims to be your wife."

“Oh...ah?!”.

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Tianwei was stunned! Wu Jianmiao saw the change in his attitude and had already made a guess in his mind.

First of all, this Detective Baek Jong must know him, otherwise he wouldn't have been so calm at the beginning. He didn't ask himself who Baek Jong Nak-doo was, or what Baek Jong Nak-doo was doing here, which shows that he knew about his identity.

Judging from the fact that she suddenly came to the door for no apparent reason, it was definitely not Jiang Tianwei's intention. Combined with this, although there is no direct evidence or direct logical reasoning to prove it, this woman is 100% related to Jiang Tianwei.

So Wu Jianmiao tried to trick Jiang Tianwei just now. Judging from his sudden surprised attitude, at least she was not a mistress.

If it was Jiang Tianwei a few months ago, he would probably have told everything about himself and Naoto in this chaos... However, Jiang Tianwei is no longer the same person he used to be. He was shocked by being called "wife", but the next second, Bai Zhongjia's detective-like thinking emerged in his mind. After a little thought, he realized that Wu Jianmiao was deceiving him.

"I'm still underage, how can I have a wife?"

Jiang Tianwei added casually, directly avoiding his surprise.

Wu Jianmiao is not a detective after all, so she cannot analyze his current emotions, but her woman's intuition tells her that there must be something wrong between Detective Bai Zhong and Jiang Tianwei.

"Oh, since she is not your wife, that means she is a liar?"

Wu Jianmiao said half-jokingly. Jiang Tianwei remained calm and looked at Wu Jianmiao calmly: "She is the same as you."

This is also the essence of Bai Zhongliu's rhetoric, which is to avoid answering other people's questions as much as possible, provide as little information as possible to others, and squeeze as much information as possible from the other party.

He was not sure why Bai Zhong Zhidou came here, so he just gave him this ambiguous answer.

As for [how to be the same as her], that’s up to you to think about.

Wu Jianmiao raised his eyebrows and thought: (This little white mouse, how come he is getting smarter and smarter now. When he said he is the same as me, in what aspect? Is he a collaborator like me? Or does he have physical contact with me like me? Or is it something else?).

In this kind of brain duel, as long as Wu Jianmiao had some ideas, she could actually get entangled with Jiang Tianwei for a few moves. However, she didn't really like this kind of thing, nor did she want to become a "troublesome woman" in those soap operas. Moreover, she didn't really care about the relationship between this little detective and him.

If you put yourself in his shoes, you will understand that if this little detective had close contact with him, he would not use such clever tricks.

"Forget it, forget it. I won't tease you anymore. She came here today to tell me something about you."

As Wu Jianmiao was talking, she laid on Jiang Tianwei's back, her soft arms hooked around his neck, and whispered to him what Bai Zhongzhidou had said to her during the day. Before she could finish two words, Fang Zexia came running over angrily.

The originally serious topic became a bit casual because of the bickering between the two women. In the relaxed atmosphere, the topic of whether or not to accept the invitation from the Kirijo Group, which was supposed to be discussed very seriously, seemed less important.

Chapter 472 Going to a Concert (Gray)

As for concerts, Jiang Tianwei's only impression of this kind of activity, apart from being used in games to boost the popularity of his artists, is the famous world-class artist Michael Jackson.

However, his impression of Michael Jackson's concerts was not about how he sang or danced, but about the overwhelming reports that many fans fainted during his concerts. Fans who liked him said it was his magical charm. Those who hated him thought it was a curse from God.

Later, someone seriously analyzed that it seemed that it was because he was one of the first world-class stars to become famous in his early years, and the concert system at that time was not very strict, so the number of people in his concerts seriously exceeded the limit. The high density of people naturally consumed more air, and coupled with the consumption of various sound, light and electrical special effects, as well as everyone's excited and enthusiastic mood, it was easy to cause brain hypoxia, and people naturally fell into a coma.

However, it is meaningless to study the trivial knowledge behind this kind of information. Jiang Tianwei feels that no matter whether it is a star, an idol, a concert or a concert that you cannot attend, just let the brain remember the superficial beauty. There is no need to delve into it in depth.

Therefore, Jiang Tianwei can’t say that he likes or hates his idol’s concerts. He just has that feeling of “Oh, so that’s it.”

But, Baek Jong Naoto gave him a vivid idol lesson today - because they really came to the concert of the popular idol Kujikawa Risa! And they were in the front row of the special seats!

Even though the idols hadn't arrived yet, the atmosphere at the scene had already begun to make Jiang Tianwei, a beginner idol fan, feel a little uneasy. Under the dim lights, everything from the stage to the audience seats was gray. No one was talking around, but one could feel the solemn atmosphere of being ready for battle. Those veteran idol fans and true fans of Xiao Lishiqin clenched their light sticks in their hands, secretly adjusted their breathing, and were ready to start shouting at any time.

Especially the special seats where Jiang Tianwei and his friends were, it was obvious that this kind of ticket must be the hardest to get. To get this ticket, one must either have a relationship with Naoto or be a particularly fanatical fan... Among a group of fanatical fans, an ordinary person like Jiang Tianwei suddenly appeared. Of course, he felt that he was out of tune with this world...

The legendary experience of the idol Korisawa has been introduced before, so I will not repeat it here. Strictly speaking, her age has passed the golden age of idols, but her popularity is still hot enough to rank among the top idols, and she can even compete for the queen level. At her age and still with such popularity, it is clear that she was born to do this job.

"Yeah~ everyone, sorry for the wait~".

Suddenly, Kujigawa Risa's voice spread throughout the venue through the loudspeaker, and then the audience in the entire venue burst into thunderous cheers. It was impossible to hear what each person was shouting, but their enthusiasm was obvious.

laugh!

Suddenly, a magnificent light burst out from the stage, which reminded Jiang Tianwei of the big fireworks during the Chinese New Year in the past.

bump!

The gorgeous light effects are like fireworks exploding. The colorful neon lights instantly light up the stage, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding dark space, which allows everyone to better focus on the stage.

Kujigawa Risa has come to the center of the stage from the elevator, wearing an idol-style outfit that is easy to move around in and has lots of cute lace, making it light and convenient. The blue outfit is a bit like a combination of a cheongsam and an evening gown, with a dreamy style that is both cute and mature.

I seem to have heard somewhere that you can tell an idol's status by looking at her performance clothes. Those that look like plastic at first glance are poor. And the one that Xiao Lishi is wearing is obviously made of silk mixed with wool. It is very transparent under the light, not reflective like plastic.

After a brief exchange with fans, Xiao Lishi's song began and Jiang Tianwei was startled.

What scared him was not the singing, but the fact that the people around him all raised their glow sticks in unison, as if they had rehearsed, and began waving them in unison. In this uniform movement, the only two exceptions were Jiang Tianwei and Bai Zhongzhidou.

Jiang Tianwei secretly looked at the little detective beside him and found that she was also looking at this side with a somewhat smug smile. In the darkness, the lights on the stage became the main light source, shining on Zhidou's cheeks. Red, yellow, pink, all kinds of light reflected on her face, making her soft feminine cheek lines look even softer.

I don’t know if it’s the atmosphere or the trend, but I feel like Naoto looks unusually cute today.

As Jiang Tianwei was thinking this, he suddenly heard the people around him breathing heavily.

Normally, the sound of breathing is very slight, and it is difficult for ordinary people to confirm it except for the top masters in martial arts novels. But now, Jiang Tianwei felt that this breathing was enough to be called [intense], it was simply an exaggeration of taking a breath of cold air.

In such an occasion, the only person who could make them gasp could be the one and only person on the stage!

Jiang Tianwei came back to his senses and noticed that Kujikawa Risa had come to the edge of the stage with a smile on her face, right next to Jiang Tianwei. Because there were loudspeakers everywhere in the venue, Jiang Tianwei couldn't clearly distinguish her movement. Only now did he notice that she was almost facing him.

The music also dropped to a perfect pitch, and the song ended.

"Well, everyone, today Xiao Li Shi wants to invite a lucky audience member to sing with Xiao Li Shi ~ Who is the lucky person ~".

Kujikawa Risa said this as she squatted on the edge of the stage. Although she said that she would pick someone randomly, looking at her expression, Jiang Tianwei vaguely guessed that she was 100% going to invite him.

But why? I don't even know her. Why did she invite me?

Jiang Tianwei was sweating profusely now. He really couldn't imagine when he had any contact with this popular idol.

That was of course unexpected, because the two of them had never met each other.

However, Xiao Lishi was not completely unfamiliar with him.

Rize Ko is also one of the members of Shirakari Naoto's "self-proclaimed special investigation team". Naturally, a few months ago, when Shirakari Naoto first started to get involved in the phantom thief incident, in order to be on the safe side and ensure combat effectiveness, she invited her former partners to come to Tokyo, of course Rize Ko was among them.

This was when she first heard the name Jiang Tianwei.

But at this time, at best, the impression was "Ah, so there is such a person." The real reason why Xiao Li Ze did something bad today was a little later...

The next time Xiao Lishi heard the name Jiang Tianwei was when Ming Shangyou mentioned it.

For those who don't know, Kujigawa Risa has been very fond of Narukami Yuu, who is one year higher than her, since she was in high school. Moreover, she actively launched an offensive.

When Xiao Lishe decided that she was going to hold a concert, she of course informed her sweetheart as soon as possible. As a result, during their conversation, Ming Shangyou mentioned Jiang Tianwei's name many times.

This immediately made Xiao Li Ze feel a little jealous. You see, from the perspective of jealousy, Yoshizawa Kasumi still needs to improve, because Yoshizawa Kasumi at least has not developed to the point of being jealous of men, otherwise Yusuke would definitely be listed as her number one troublesome person.

I thought that the name Jiang Tianwei would never appear in my world again, but unexpectedly, two days ago, Bai Zhong Zhidou suddenly called me and asked me if it was convenient for me to give her two tickets. Celebrities are actually a little taboo about giving tickets, and Zhidou certainly understands this kind of social etiquette, but she still asked hesitantly. Little Li Shi was curious and asked, "Oh my god, it's Jiang Tianwei again? ! What on earth does this person do? What's going on?"

As a result, Xiao Lishi was now full of curiosity: Who exactly is this Jiang Tianwei that both of his friends mentioned? So, it was rare for him to see Jiang Tianwei in person today, especially since he looked like he had no interest in his concert and was just there to accompany Naoto. How could Xiao Lishi not feel dissatisfied?

Therefore, this little prank is a small challenge for the girl idol who is in an underground relationship (secret crush)!

Chapter 473 The Idolmaster (Hizashi)

If you read novels often, you will always see such plots.

A master in a certain field, with just a quick look, you can tell how accomplished the person is in that field. Forging, combat, magic, alchemy... There are masters like this in almost every field.

And only when you become a master of something can you understand that such a thing really exists.

The example that is closest to young people is probably that when old 2D fans hear people who have just started watching anime say, "So-and-so (this season's new show) is my first otaku work! It's simply the only true god!", they have a playful expression on their faces, as if they are listening to a child giving them advice.

In this sense, Xiao Li Ze is the master of [idol]. She doesn't have the poisonous eyes of Naoto, nor is she good at collecting intelligence on the opponent, especially since she doesn't have the time in the United States to do such trivial things.

Then, all you have to do is find a way to pull the other person into the field you are good at.

While Jiang Tianwei was stunned, Xiao Lishi had already reached out and grabbed his wrist. With her arm strength, she was 100% unable to pull Jiang Tianwei, but... Jiang Tianwei keenly felt the gazes of Xiao Lishi's guards around him: jealousy, anger, murderous intent, hatred, envy... and many other emotions seemed to materialize and pressed on Jiang Tianwei's back.

He had every reason to believe that if he did not go on stage today, or deliberately did not give Kujikawa Risa this face, that is, did not let her pull him forward, he would be labeled a sinner for all eternity in the idol otaku circle tomorrow.

"Hey, why isn't it me..."

"Who is that person? I'm so envious..."

"Ahhh, life, why can't I start over again?! I want to reload the save file! I want to buy a ticket for that seat!"

Amid Bai Zhongzhidou's surprised eyes and the whispers of people around him, Jiang Tianwei stepped onto the stage.

"Um, Mr. Lucky Guest, could you please introduce yourself to everyone?"

Kujikawa Risa smiled and handed the microphone to Jiang Tianwei, completely ignoring the manager who was anxiously jumping up and down at the waiting room but didn't dare to shout loudly. It seems that being a manager for Risa is definitely not an easy thing.

Jiang Tianwei took the microphone, but didn't know what to say for a moment. He made a "hmm" sound, and the tone of helplessness was instantly spread to the entire venue by the microphone, making Jiang Tianwei's embarrassment escalate several levels.

"I, I am the one..."

Jiang Tianwei's mind was spinning rapidly. He had never been an idol before, and he rarely watched idol concerts. He really didn't know how to interact with the audience at a time like this. His only thought now was that, at the very least, he couldn't embarrass the Chinese people, so...

"I'm Kawahara Tenwei, Mina-san~Good morning~"

As he spoke, he placed his finger on his forehead and flicked it away in a casual manner, imitating the male supporting character in old animations who always liked to flirt with girls but the girls all liked the Asian male protagonist.

This was his last bit of reserve. At least he couldn't bring shame to the Chinese people, so he used a pseudonym. Well, it's not really a pseudonym. From the perspective of household registration, there is no problem for a stepson to take his stepfather's surname.

I thought my action would frustrate the audience - and in fact it did - but after about five or six seconds, there was enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Jiang Tianwei glanced around, and he didn't know if it was because he was too excited, but he felt that his vision was clearer than ever before, and he could clearly see the audience below. The male audience members were all lacking interest, but there were a few who were watching the fun and clapping vigorously, waiting for him to make a fool of himself. The female audience members were generally very fond of this, and they whispered to each other: "Don't you think this boy is a bit good-looking?"

“You can see her good figure even through her clothes!”

"The most important thing is temperament! I can do it~"

"So are we~"

Jiang Tianwei always felt that things were going to get serious. Was he going to be like the protagonists in those cartoons and start his career as a star? -- He was overthinking it. The idol industry was in such a state now. He dared to dream of becoming a star just by being on stage once? Wasn't it just like thinking he was Bill Gates after going to KFC once? !

"Oh! Mr. Kawahara, which song of mine, Risa, is your favorite? Let's sing together~"

Xiao Lishi approached Jiang Tianwei's microphone in a very intimate manner and asked.

This question is even more difficult to answer than the question of who you would save first if your mother and wife fell into the water at the same time - after all, when it comes to the question of saving people, Jiang Tianwei can say, I am a devil, so of course I will save both of them. Do you really think my skills are good-looking?

But, you asked him which song of Risa's he liked? Who knows? I haven't even heard it myself! At least give a range if you're just guessing! At least you can guess one of the four! It would be even better if you could hold down alt to see other netizens' answers!

(Quick, think about it. Didn’t I seem to have seen her poster somewhere? Shouldn’t the song title be written on the poster at that time? Or should my ticket have the song title written on it? Damn, I only remember it was an English name, something with T and S, what on earth is TS?!)

Jiang Tianwei's eyes involuntarily drifted around. Fang Zexia's ghost floated aside and spread her hands to show that she could not help. On ordinary days, she might do this because she was jealous, but not today. As a ghost, Fang Zexia could not move freely most of the time. Whether it was buying things or turning on the TV or radio to listen to music, she had to rely on Jiang Tianwei, a living person. Since Jiang Tianwei was not interested in idols, she certainly had no chance to contact them.

Baekjong Naoto sighed and tried to lip sync to him.

Jiang Tianwei couldn't read lips, so in the end Fang Zexia ran to Naoto and asked her to say it in a low voice, and then told Jiang Tianwei.

"My favorite is "True-Story"."

Jiang Tianwei finally spoke, and little Lishi smiled and said, "You finally decided after hesitating for a long time~ Could it be that you like all of my songs, so you can't decide which one you like best?"

Xiao Lishi is now a mature idol, and of course he knows that he has to give others a way out at this time. Jiang Tianwei is also a person who can judge the situation, and he quickly stepped down when others gave him a way out.

However, now he suddenly noticed a huge problem...

I myself can't sing.
