Persona: Devil Summoner

"...That's true. Judging from your performance in Italy, that's right."

It is said that when one is too concerned, one becomes confused. Now that Kawahara Masaaki thinks about it carefully, it is true that based on what he has heard from his brother about his son's heroic fighting history, a few gangsters will definitely not be able to do anything to him.

"So, what's going on?"

Jiang Tianwei looked at the screen, then at his stepfather, who was using the intercom to communicate with the gang members downstairs. The radio was restricted here, which was why Jiang Tianwei's call could not go through.

They must have anticipated this critical moment long ago, so special wired communicators were installed in every room on each floor of Kawahara Bank. They looked like old-fashioned wired telephones, but according to Jiang Tianwei's knowledge of physics, it seemed that radio interference would also shield the wired telephones. I don't know what kind of black technology he used that he didn't understand.

Thanks to this, the stepfather was able to stay in a safe place and command his subordinates to resist.

However, judging from the gunshot wounds on his body, I'm afraid, given his personality, he would have been at the front line from the beginning to command the team members to resist?

"It's none of your business. It's time for class now, go to class."

Kawahara Masaaki waved his hand, signaling him not to ask any more questions. How could Jiang Tianwei do this? If he really wanted to go to class, he wouldn't have come here at all.

"Just tell me, why did the other party suddenly call me?"

"I said, it's none of your business..."

"It's all because of those bastards from the Sakurano Group!"

Just as the father and son were confronting each other, suddenly the coward Kitagawa Minghai, who was holding his head with his hands in the corner, shouted loudly with a hoarse voice.

Kawahara Masaaki's expression suddenly became stern: "Shut up! Don't talk nonsense!"

"But, but it was them! Today, we didn't do anything, but they suddenly attacked the building! The boss was only injured because of them who suddenly pulled out a gun and attacked!"

"I told you to shut up!"

Kawahara Masaaki angrily hammered the table, making a loud bang, which frightened Kitagawa Minghai so much that he trembled all over. This violent movement tore open the wound that had just begun to solidify, and he couldn't help but lie on the table with his hands on his side abdomen in pain. Ming Shangyou beside him quickly took out the gauze from the medicine box and changed it for him.

"Young Master, you must avenge the boss! The guys in the Sakurano group seem to have gone crazy!"

Beichuan Minghai was probably too frightened and didn't even listen to the boss' words. He was trembling, crying, and shouting heartbreakingly, as if he wanted to shout out all the fear he had received during this period.

Jiang Tianwei frowned, thinking about one thing in his mind.

He asked, "Wasn't the Sakurano Group like this before?"

"No, they used to be famous militants, but, but, they have been well behaved for more than ten years... I didn't expect, I didn't expect that they would suddenly return to their previous state..."

Kitagawa Minghai said this tremblingly. This time, his stepfather didn't even have the strength to stop him. His face was pale and he was trying his best just to grit his teeth and not to roar.

The originally honest gang suddenly started to go berserk?

Would you rather give up your life and fight to the death with the other party?

This drastic change made Jiang Tianwei involuntarily think of the problem of becoming disabled and mentally ill... [emotional outburst].

I have encountered this several times...

Could it be the same this time?

Suddenly, police cars began to appear on the screen. It seemed that such a large-scale gunfight had finally alarmed the police. However, while the police were still shouting through loudspeakers, the crazy people in the Sakurano group had already started attacking the police!

From the moment the first police officer fell down with blood spurting from his chest, the attack by the Sakurano Group took a completely different turn.

Chapter 564 I guessed the process, but I didn’t guess it right

Anyone who knows something about World War II will surely know the two "magic weapons" that Germany used to start a war with the world: the "blitzkrieg" and the "decapitation tactics".

The effectiveness of these two tactics has been proven by history. In ancient China thousands of years ago, there was an ancient poem that said, "To shoot a man, shoot his horse first; to capture a thief, capture his leader first." If it were not classic and useful, it would not have been passed down.

(Now, the most reasonable approach is the decapitation tactic, right?)

This is what Jiang Tianwei was thinking about.

If we calculate according to Bai Zhongliu's way of thinking, we need to consider two possibilities here.

First, the behavior of the Sakurano Group was really due to emotional outbursts. In this case, there must be one or more enemies who had an acutely expanding palace because of emotional outbursts.

Judging from my previous experience, it was probably at the Sakurano Group's base camp. I didn't know why my eyes could see this type of palace. As long as I went over there, I could be sure whether the other party had a palace.

Second, the actions of the Sakurano Group were a long-planned surprise attack.

This is not impossible, after all, these two groups are very old gangs, and they have a long history of grudges. It is also possible that the Sakurano Group deliberately stayed silent for more than ten years, and then suddenly took advantage of the enemy's slackness and paralysis to launch a strong attack.

But in this case, the best solution is to capture the opponent's commander, that is, the leader of the Sakurano Group, and then force him to surrender.

It can basically be considered that an organization like the gang is born out of the prestige of the boss, and the boss's words are truly binding.

So, no matter which possibility it was, I had to go to the Sakurano Group's mansion. Fortunately, I had been there once before when I sent Sakurano Ei home, so I could roughly remember the way.

The level of defense of Kawahara Bank was far beyond Jiang Tianwei's expectations. In addition, the police had also arrived outside, so it would not be so easy for the Sakurano Group to occupy the bank.

So, what I should do is not to stay here and fight them to the death, but to take advantage of the fact that the enemy's large force is fighting here and directly attack the enemy's headquarters and use a decapitation tactic.

Whether it is to destroy the palace or force the other team leader to surrender, this attack is over.

After figuring this out, Jiang Tianwei immediately walked downstairs.

"Where are you going!"

His stepfather called him from behind, but Jiang Tianwei did not stop.

"Nothing, just going to class. Yes, just... going to an extracurricular class."

What Jiang Tianwei thought of was the cheap apprentice in his boxing class in the Sakurano group.

It's actually really unreasonable to call someone like that, because you haven't taught her anything and it seems like you're taking advantage of her.

Thinking about it carefully, the last time I saw her, she was indeed in a bad mood, as if she knew something. It was a pity that Jiang Tianwei didn't get to know her situation in depth at that time...

No matter what, I had to go to Chiyoda District. Whether it was the message Taira Masakado had inserted during the Demon War on the plane before, which gave me time to visit Masakado's tomb, or the mansion of the Sakurano Group that I was going to visit now, both places were in the Chiyoda District.

Jiang Tianwei finished showing off and rushed downstairs without giving his father time to react. Probably because the Sakurano team had the police force behind them, they did not have the spare time to attack the bank, giving the Kawahara team precious breathing time.

Jiang Tianwei rushed to the first floor without any pressure, found an empty corner, got on his motorcycle, and rushed out again!

Just like when he came, the people from the Sakurano Group had no way to deal with him, allowing him to break through easily. Jiang Tianwei used the broken bricks and stones on the ground as a springboard, and the golden motorcycle flew up, easily passing the Sakurano Group's road-blocking car and leaving in a cloud of dust.

Whether it was the police's warnings or the Sakurano group's silent shooting, they were all left far behind him.

This motorcycle also inherited the special ability of the Hell Angels that can travel on any road surface. In fact, Jiang Tianwei can directly climb on the wall and bypass the road, just like the triangle arrow in the 4WD Brothers.

But this way of running was too cool, and Jiang Tianwei didn't want to become famous for this kind of thing, so he simply drove at a high speed, stretched his reflexes to the limit, used the lightness of the motorcycle, weaved between vehicles, and quickly rushed to the Sakurano Group's mansion in his memory.

I won't take the wrong path.

This is not because of his great memory, but...

The Sakurano Group mansion is now very easy to recognize.

People who have never been to Japan may still imagine Japan as the quaint Edo period, but people who have been to Japan know that the level of modernization in Japanese metropolises is very high, similar to that in China. There are also various Western-style apartment buildings in the urban areas, and you can't see any ancient Japanese architectural style.

Therefore, in the entire Chiyoda area, an antique castle tower stands out particularly.

It’s like if you were in the capital of China and suddenly saw a towering building with flying eaves reaching into the sky, it would be very conspicuous.

There is no doubt that the castle tower is Jiang Tianwei's target.

Driving over, the place where the Sakurano Group's main gate was supposed to be had completely transformed into a different world, like the Japanese castles seen in period dramas, with towering city walls outside and a red-painted, nail-studded gate. Moreover, there was a hideous and terrifying monster head on top of the gate.

Crossing the city wall, you can see the particularly tall castle tower inside, with white walls, green tiles, round windows and a depressing atmosphere.

My own eyes can confirm the abnormality here. The next step is to find the palace and keywords.

(Come to think of it, I've been involved in palace expansions a few times without using the app.)

Thinking of this, Jiang Tianwei took out his mobile phone and started asking everyone in the group if they had time to help.

In Jiang Tianwei's impression, this was just a polite remark - it was class time! Who would be so free?

But surprisingly, Kitagawa Yusuke, Togo Ichimi, and Niijima Makoto all agreed. Yoshizawa Sumire didn't reply. Maybe this good girl is in class? With her personality, she definitely won't play with her phone during class - wait, so why did you reply so quickly, President? !

In addition to these people, there was another person who said, "I'll be there soon."

Of course, that person is Goro Akechi.

In this way, the team is basically complete.

Jiang Tianwei made a gesture to Fang Zexia, indicating her to hide.

Akechi Goro has a big problem. Considering the future, he cannot be allowed to come into contact with Kasumi Yoshizawa. As long as he can't see Kasumi Yoshizawa, then Kasumi Yoshizawa can be his trump card.

Fang Zexia could understand her feelings, but she was clearly angry: How could there be such a bad person who would break up Jiang Jiang and me? This Mingzhi should be kicked to death by a hundred horses!

The next thing is to test keywords.

However, there is a small problem this time...

The location this time is easy to guess, it is the [Sakurano Group’s mansion].

It is easy to guess what it is regarded as. The answer is [ancient city].

But the most crucial thing is - who mistook the Sakurano Group's mansion for an ancient city?

"How would I know the name of the leader of the Sakurano Group?! I wonder if searching for Sakurano Ei will give me the name of the leader of the Sakurano Group?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 565 Have you walked through the maze?

Decryption is a form of entertainment that is popular with the public. From the earliest oral decryption, such as brain teasers, to the field of electronic games, such as giving you a small game of finding objects or requiring you to run to a certain place and press a switch, to later giving you some actual scenes, such as escape rooms. There are also the most difficult ones, such as the boss's thoughts and the girlfriend's "Tell me what you did wrong?"

It can be said that decryption has become a ubiquitous form of entertainment in contemporary society.

However, Jiang Tianwei never thought that he would encounter such a funny situation today. In general, the decryption is to give you a question, some clues, and then let you guess the answer. This time, it's the other way around. I give you the answer and clues. Come on, tell me what the question is.

First of all, let me state the conclusion. The basic information of the Sakurano Group can indeed be found online, as can the specific members of the Sakurano Group. The Sakurano Group even has a personal homepage that has not been maintained for nearly seven or eight years. Can you believe it?! It is very easy to find the name of the leader of the Sakurano Group.

Ryouta Sakurano, just hearing the name sounds like a Japanese person that can be found anywhere.

But, the answer is wrong.

This palace does not belong to Ryouta Sakurano.

Then Jiang Tianwei immediately tried Sakurano Ei.

The answer is also no.

This palace doesn't belong to Sakurano Ei either.

It must be said that this made him feel relieved. At least he didn't have to really have a duel between master and apprentice, after all, right? In China, a teacher is a father for life, so this could be considered a father-son fight.

However, this would put the pressure on the Phantom Thieves.

Jiang Tianwei's best method, letting the AI ​​read the dictionary and then trying each word one by one, was not applicable this time - you asked him what the names of everyone in the Kawahara group were, and he couldn't even name them all, and you asked him to name the rival gang! ?

"Hmm, you don't know who your target is this time? Oh my..."

Goro Akechi made a comment that sounded a bit sarcastic, but judging from his smiling expression, there was no hint of sarcasm in his comment. He was probably genuinely expressing his emotion.

This is why many times we cannot just understand it literally, but have to consider the actual tone and context, otherwise it would become a literary inquisition of the Qing Dynasty!

Goro Akechi was obviously more idle than the other members of the Phantom Thieves. He came immediately after hearing Jiang Tianwei's invitation. He was still wearing the familiar light blue suit and black gloves. He was holding a metal briefcase. According to what he had seen in Ace Prosecutors, this kind of metal box could be used as a shield when opened.

"Aren't you a great detective? Use your invincible reasoning ability to come up with a solution, Detective Prince!"

Jiang Tianwei teased, and Akechi Goro laughed, "Don't treat detectives as gods..."

"Didn't your father teach you in Hawaii?"

"!"

In an instant, Jiang Tianwei felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. A clear hostility... or even murderous intent, emerged out of nowhere. Just as Jiang Tianwei was about to observe carefully, the murderous intent disappeared silently.

Goro Akechi still had a businesslike smile on his face, and as if he was complaining in a manzai, he gently hit him on the chest with the back of his hand: "Don't confuse reality with a work of art!"

"Well, if they are not members of the Sakurano Group, but their focus is here... For example, the landlord?"

Kitagawa Yusuke leaned against the telephone pole at the door, thinking seriously.

This reasoning is actually very reasonable, but it always sounds so pathetic when it comes from Yusuke's mouth. He probably can't imagine that such a huge Japanese-style garden is actually the private property of the Sakurano Group and there is no landlord.

"How about another way of thinking? It's not the members of the Sakurano Group itself, but some outsiders who think this place is something?"

Togo Ichiraku wore a mask and big sunglasses today, dressed like a celebrity to avoid being secretly photographed. After all, this period is still the popularity of the Fake Chess Princess, so it is not surprising that she would do this.

These two are students of an art school, and art schools always have some students with strange personalities. Among all the people, the self-willed Madarame disciple Kitagawa Yusuke and the fake chess princess Togo Ichimi who is easily trapped in her own world are undoubtedly the best in every way.
