Persona: Devil Summoner

And now, having really put himself in the battlefield, Jiang Tianwei finally understood why this place was a purgatory on earth.

Because of the attack, Kawahara Bank had to fight back as a matter of course, and all the fire doors and security doors were closed. Banks are places with a very high security factor. After all, they have to worry about bank robbers and various emergencies.

This is why there is a very passionate film, where the anti-Japanese fighters hid in a bank in Shanghai and relied on the geographical advantage to fight the Japanese invaders. Now the members of the Kawahara Group are the same.

In fact, objectively speaking, the training level and professional quality of the Kawahara team members are not comparable to those of the Sakurano team, but as the saying goes, the soft are afraid of the hard, and the hard are afraid of the desperate. Although the Kawahara team is very "hard", they can't stand the opponent's desperateness!

This is not a modifier.

In order to break through the gate of the Kawahara Group, they even prepared a suicide charge with a heavy truck. Judging from the fact that the front windshield of the truck was covered with dark red from the inside, the driver must have been reincarnated into another world.

In order to force the Kawahara group to death, they set fire to the house. The pungent smoke mixed with the scorching heat formed a death space.

Although the fire-fighting equipment played a basic role in extinguishing fires, it was unable to put out such a fierce fire. This was a space that even Jiang Tianwei, a monster with a demon body, would feel uncomfortable in, but the people from the Sakurano Group still rushed in one after another.

The person holding the submachine gun led the way. If he was shot and killed, the person behind him would take over the gun and use his companion's body as a shield to continue charging. Everyone was like a war machine with bloodshot eyes, fearless of death.

But the people in Kawahara Group were all alive and could not withstand the opponent's consumption. They were beaten back step by step and had retreated to the stairs, relying on the wall to fight back.

After all, Kawahara Bank is still a bank, and everyone comes to work. Although guns and ammunition are prepared, it is only for temporary emergency use. Who would really have thought that there would be fools who would launch such a large-scale violent attack!

Jiang Tianwei looked up and saw thick smoke floating on the ceiling, blocking the camera. Jiang Tianwei jumped flexibly, drew his sword and slashed in the air, and the space killing method instantly destroyed all the cameras.

(Okay, so no one will see it now... I won't hold back.)

"Abaddon! Throne Archangel! Cleopatra!"

Since he didn't know how to worry about being seen, Jiang Tianwei summoned the devil without hesitation. At the same time, he secretly told Fang Zexia to use the characteristics of ghosts to detect the situation in the building.

The gangsters of the Sakurano Group were forming a commando team that was not afraid of casualties, holding submachine guns and pistols, and some of them were holding Molotov cocktails and homemade grenades. They were about to launch another suicide attack on the members of the Kawahara Group at the door.

"Fuck! Get down!"

A man in Kawahara's group who was obviously a team leader saw the grenade in the other party's hand with the latch already pulled, and suddenly panicked.

The other party didn't give him any chance and threw the grenade directly at the door! The team leader could only give a command, then curled up his body and flew to the corner. This is the best way to protect yourself when dealing with explosives - of course, this distance can basically only ensure that you die completely, which is more convenient when counting the dead after the war.

Boom!

The roar of an explosion.

A strong smell of gunpowder.

But... the fragments and heat that the homemade grenade should have had did not come over.

Because the door through which these were delivered was blocked.

It was a yellow-green monster that looked like a toad blocking the door.

If it was a toad, who had ever seen such a big toad? It was a monster as big as four or five people. The side door that could accommodate two people walking side by side was not even as big as his mouth!

That's a literal bloody mouth!

The grenade just now was thrown directly into his mouth. The big monster closed its mouth and swallowed all the fragments and heat from the explosion into its stomach!

This is Abaddon!

The legendary Lord of the Abyss! The legendary demon who commands locusts and plagues!

At this time, it was using its huge body as a shield to protect the members of the Kawahara group.

“Huh?! W-What the hell is this!?”

The team leader, who had just noticed that he was not dead and his body was intact, had no time to rejoice before he was frightened by the big-mouthed monster in front of him. He raised his pistol and fired two shots.

However, when the bullet hit its bumpy back, there was no feedback. There was no sound of the bullet being deflected, nor any sign of the tumor being broken. It was as if the bullet was absorbed by the skin, and there was no further follow-up.

"Hey, little guy over here, there's no need to pick up something so dangerous."

Just as his adrenaline was surging, a woman's gentle voice suddenly sounded beside him, calming his nervous heart.

He turned his head and saw an unparalleled beauty who looked like a white jade statue. She was wearing an ancient Egyptian-style long skirt and a beautiful golden crown on her head. She bent down and smiled at him gently.

That smile is so reassuring.

Starting from the team leader, all the members of Kawahara Group around were charmed by this unparalleled beauty without exception.

"Well, it's time for the good kids to go to bed - sleep peacefully, and then forget everything. Don't remember it~"

"Yes, we, understand."

The powerful charm technique produced an effect similar to mental hypnosis, which controlled these gang members in an instant.

These minions from the Sakurano Group can be killed, but the ones from the Kawahara Group are our own people, so just let them sleep for a while.

Jiang Tianwei thought so. As for the people in the room... hehe.

What do you think Jiang Tianwei summoned the angel for?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 562 Cleaning the battlefield

The Thrones, among the nine levels of angels in theology, are at the third level and are considered higher angels.

Its name means wheel and it is often seen as the carrier of God's throne.

Its appearance is very much in line with today's international thinking, as it is a black face that looks as if it was burnt - even angels have black people, how politically correct!

Ahem, seriously speaking, the angel has a very mystical flavor, and is shaped like a black-faced man wearing a black robe, but the black is close to the black of coke. Behind him is a huge six-tooth wheel, which is enough to stick his whole body on it, and six flames are jumping out from the interface of the wheel.

His posture leaning on the wheel is somewhat similar to the legendary Jesus tied to the cross, which has a very sacred flavor.

Following Jiang Tianwei's call, the angel had already started rolling the wheels behind him.

The scorching flames that made people feel very uncomfortable in the first place became even more difficult to step into all at once!

Most of the Sakurano group members who were fighting in the hall had their skin burned by the high temperature, and their clothes were stuck to their bodies by the liquid that seeped out of the burns.

From the equipment of the angel, it can be seen that this is an angel who is good at fire attacks. The majesty of this god is not comparable to the fire of ordinary mortals. Ordinary fires can kill people, let alone the flames of God?

The blazing sea of ​​fire spread out, and as the wheels behind the angel spun, the red and yellow colors dominated the space with the blazing heat. The rubber chairs for customers to rest in the hall were even melted, and the metal railings melted into liquid. This temperature was too high for people to enter.

Although in some fantasy works, the protagonist can use his fists to beat a fire giant with a set temperature of up to three thousand degrees, in reality, you will be roasted to death by the surrounding temperature before you even get close.

People generally think that magma that can melt a person is only over a thousand degrees.

If you stay in this air, you will definitely die unless you have super powers such as fire negligence and fire absorption.

However, the members of the Sakurano Group outside seemed to be completely unaware and kept rushing in. Seven or eight more gang members rushed in one after another. Without exception, they were burned black by the extremely high temperature in the room as soon as they came in, and their faces were covered with chemical gas smoke, and they fainted on the spot.

Perhaps they saw the miserable state of the people in front of them? The people behind them stopped rushing in, and Jiang Tianwei breathed a sigh of relief. He then took back the angel and replaced it with the Frost King.

This is a top-of-the-line version of a monster called Frost Jack.

As you can tell from the name, his name is Frost Jack, which must be because he is very cold and icy and is very good at ice magic.

This is a cute little monster that looks like a snowball, with a blue hat on its head.

The Frost King is composed of countless Frost Jacks and becomes a super giant Frost Jack.

It's as if you pile countless snowmen together and use their snow to form a super giant snowman. On the big round head, there is a very British-style golden judge's wig, and below the head is an orange-yellow metal armor, just like the outer door of a refrigerator, locking the Frost Jacks inside tightly.

A funny, extra-large Nanjing lock is hung on the chest, which is very cute with its silly look.

"Huuu - it's so hot, huuu - we need to cool it down here, huuu!"

As he said this, the Frost King waved the staff in his hand which was the same shape as his head. The originally scorching hot air suddenly cooled down. Sparkling crystal dust quickly expanded in the air. This fine powder snow quickly lowered the high temperature in the air.

The rapid change in temperature caused most of the decorations inside to shatter with crackling sounds.

The smoke in the air gradually thinned, and countless fine ice crystals fell like snowflakes, absorbing impurities in the smoke and falling to the ground. The originally burning flames now became sickly. The Frost King let out a grunt and blew out a breath of cold air, and the flames on the ground were directly blown out, leaving only the dissipating smoke.

Jiang Tianwei looked around and could only describe it in one word: tragic. Or... hell.

If there really is hell in this world, it would probably look like this. It is indescribable. If I were to summarize it, it would be too bloody to describe. Jiang Tianwei could only quietly put away the demons and walked towards the stairs.

"Jiang Jiang, I'm back. I'll tell you about the situation on the floor now."

Fang Zexia came back from her investigation at the right time, and Jiang Tianwei listened to her talk about the situation in the building while climbing the stairs.

All I can say is that it’s a good thing that Jiang Tianwei arrived in time, as the gang only captured the first floor.

The Kawahara Bank was probably designed with the possibility of enemy attacks in mind, so the internal structure is not complicated, but it is very winding, a bit like the map roads in tower defense games, and its prominent feature is that it prefers the long way over the near. On weekdays, people are not in a hurry and just think of walking more to exercise. Once a crisis occurs, this long passage will become an excellent place to defend against the enemy.

Starting from the second floor, all the tables, chairs and benches have been bulletproofed. The tables can be pulled down to serve as shelters, and the chairs can be lifted up to serve as shields - of course, they can only play a minor role and are far less magical than what is shown in movies and TV dramas.

The main thing is, if the enemy has attacked your base, it means it's time for a fight to the death. Normally, gangs fight on the streets!

As soon as Jiang Tianwei emerged from the stairs, the men in black on the second floor who were holding guns for defense were so nervous that they almost pulled the trigger. When they saw that it was the young master, they breathed a sigh of relief: "Young Master, why are you here! Where are the brothers downstairs?!"

"Oh, it's okay. I'll just repel the enemy's attack downstairs."

"What?! You are worthy of being the young master! Excuse my rudeness, I need to organize people to take back the first floor. The boss is in the office, if you want to find him, go by yourself."

The man in black was obviously relieved. He waved behind him and said, "Come here, those who are not afraid of death, follow me downstairs!"

When he called out, more than a dozen people came out from behind the desk and the door frame. They were all dressed in standard bank employee attire, in suits, shirts and ties, except that they all held pistols for self-defense.

More than a dozen people hurried downstairs. Jiang Tianwei was unexpectedly moved by this scene.

He couldn't help but wonder if he would have the courage to do this - of course he would. But this was because he was very strong and knew he would not die. But these people were all mortals, their weapons and equipment were inferior to theirs, and they were obviously fighting to the death, so there was no telling what they might do.

Moreover, it was obvious that the situation on the first floor was dire, easy to attack but difficult to defend, and the probability of survival would be greatly increased if they stayed on the second floor or above to deploy defenses. However, none of these people hesitated and rushed up directly following the commander.

Although violent organizations are not worth promoting, this kind of masculine and tough temperament still makes Jiang Tianwei excited. No wonder so many Japanese are fond of gangster movies from the Showa era.

Suppressing the emotion in his heart, Jiang Tianwei quickened his pace and rushed to the top floor, where his stepfather's room was.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 563 Clues to the Real Murderer

The smell of blood was the first feeling Jiang Tianwei had after he opened the door.

The last time I came to this office was when the cadre named Arai confronted his stepfather here, forcing me to secretly swear never to eat tofu pudding again.

Normally, the above statement often indicates that there is no smell of blood in the room, and it is all psychological. But...

"You are hurt?"

Jiang Tianwei immediately saw his stepfather sitting behind the elegant wooden table. He was wearing a black kimono with a very gangster vibe. One could vaguely see three bullet holes on his side and abdomen, from which blood was gushing out. The blood was staining the black cloth, making the deep color even darker.

As soon as he saw Jiang Tianwei coming, Kawahara Masaaki's originally painful expression relaxed a lot, and he pretended as if nothing had happened.

The white wall opposite him was projecting surveillance footage. Although the picture quality was not very clear, it unexpectedly brought out the sense of reality. Gun-wielding gangs could be seen engaging in fierce gunfights everywhere, and the flames looked particularly eye-catching in the low-resolution picture.

In addition to the stepfather, there were about a dozen other people standing in the room, most of whom had expressions of fear on their faces. Almost all of these people were newcomers who had just joined the company. As mentioned before, the Kawahara Group was preparing to whitewash their identities.

In this regard, Kawahara Masaaki is very similar to Song Jiang in the Water Margin. He knows very well that in this day and age, a simple violent gang will not last long. If the family wants to develop for a long time, whitewashing is necessary. Even in Japan, the only country in the world where gangs are legal, it is becoming increasingly difficult for gangs to survive...

This feeling is just like the rickshaws after the appearance of bicycles and cars. It is not about the rickshaw pullers, but the general environment of the times. Whether you accept it or not, you can no longer find rickshaw pullers. The same is true for gangs. Maybe they still exist in this era, but then what? What about fifty years later? What about a hundred years later?

It was obvious that these trembling people knew that the Kawahara Group had a dark background, but they had not received any professional or rigorous training, and they had not expected that there would be such a large-scale gunfight in this peaceful era. So instead of letting them go to die, it would be better for them to stay here.

The only exception here is Yuu Narukami with gray hair. He has a serious expression and no one knows what he is thinking, but it is obvious that he is not afraid.

So, Kawahara Masaaki asked him to help him treat the wound. At this time, Ming Shang's white gloves were still stained with dark red blood. A towel was spread out on the corner of the table beside him, and on it was a bloody dagger and a twisted bullet.

In contrast to the indifferent newcomer Yuu Narukami is the panicked veteran Akemi Kitagawa.

Maybe some people have forgotten who he is, but he was the one who lent the loan to the Chinese restaurant where Jiang Tianwei worked. He was also the one who peed his pants after being scared by a word from Officer Arai.

Jiang Tianwei still couldn't understand why such a coward would be in the mafia... Kawahara Group is a mafia, not a black-hearted enterprise, and they won't interfere with the members' stay or leave. It's hard to understand why this person doesn't just find a civilian job and get involved in the mafia? !

"It's just a minor injury."

After a while, Kawahara Masaaki finally responded to his son's question. It felt like he had been thinking for more than a minute.

Mainly because it really hurt. In this emergency, there was no time to find anesthetics. So he found a bottle of strong liquor and drank it, using alcohol to numb the feeling, and then forcibly began to remove the bullet.

Although the Kawahara family has their own family doctor, unfortunately, given the situation outside, the doctor definitely cannot come in.

It took this rock-hard man more than a minute to swallow the pain and speak as if nothing had happened.

"I heard that it was the Sakurano Group calling?"

"Which big mouth told you that?"

"No, I was attacked by the Sakurano Group as soon as I left the house. And, it was all over the news."

Jiang Tianwei said this casually, trying to prevent the non-existent "big mouth" team member from being punished. Unexpectedly, his unintentional words made his stepfather's eyes widen like an angry bull, but this anger affected the wound, and he groaned in pain and took a breath of cold air.

"Don't worry, I have all my limbs intact. Those chickens and dogs can't handle me."
