Persona: Devil Summoner

Generally speaking, according to the common sense of the game, the attributes of attacks that a person or monster is good at can often be seen from the skin color. For example, a red monster is often of fire attribute, and a blue monster is often of ice attribute.

Akechi and his perosna were all dressed in white, and they looked like they were of the light attribute or something sacred and familiar. However, above his head, as he moved, a purple ball of light gradually condensed into shape.

Are there any attributes that are purple? At least there are no known elemental attributes that are purple - there is only one attribute that is purple.

That is... the universal attribute.

Although it does not benefit from the increased damage of attacking weaknesses, it will not be affected by patience and invalidation, so it is a very stable means of attack!

I didn't expect that Goro Akechi would actually use the universal attribute!!!

Chapter 568: The newcomer joins to be exploited by the captain

The universal attribute has been immersed in two voices since the concept was put forward.

One side says that omnipotence is a useless attribute because it cannot deal multiple damage.

The other side says that omnipotence is a very versatile attribute because it cannot be offset or invalidated.

Jiang Tianwei was tired of this kind of debate topic that discusses both positive and negative aspects, and both arguments make sense. Is there anyone who has not done this kind of classic topic? "Do you think Qin Shihuang is a tyrant or the greatest emperor in history? Why? (20 points)", and then your history teacher will definitely tell you to discuss it in points and to grasp your own reasons. Don't agree with everything. If you say he is the greatest emperor in history, then blah blah. If you say he is a tyrant, then blah blah...

As the saying goes, there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people, so naturally there will be a thousand Qin Shihuangs, but there will only be one Sun Wukong, because the other Sun Wukongs have to apologize to the people of the whole country.

If you ask Jiang Tianwei about his attitude towards Wan Neng, he definitely likes it.

He doesn't like the practice of having to guess the opponent's attributes, especially in the current RPG, there are many anti-intelligence monsters, and those that you may think are weak to fire are not weak to fire. So Jiang Tianwei likes a versatile method that can show combat effectiveness in any situation.

This is a bit similar to the AK47. In terms of gun performance alone, there are many guns that are more powerful than the AK47, but if maintenance costs and failure rates are taken into account, the AK47 is far ahead.

This concept of pursuing versatility and stable performance is very consistent with Jiang Tianwei's combat philosophy. This is why he insists on using physical attacks plus physical penetration as the main means of output, even though he is not incapable of using magic.

The magic used by Goro Akechi is a universal spell called Megiddo. Its characteristic is that it will generate a blue-purple magic light ball. When it is projected onto the battlefield, it can attack a large area of ​​enemies.

As for the power... I can't say it's very strong, and it consumes a lot of magic power, but the advantage is that it can be used no matter what the situation is, as long as the opponent is densely arranged in an array.

"Gorgeous - fix everything!"

Goro Akechi said this, with a smug smile on his face, like a character on the stage. He deliberately raised his right hand high, as if giving an order, and the white glove fell with his voice, with his index finger pointing in the air. It must be said that this action of his was particularly aristocratic, worthy of being the detective prince.

The huge ball of magic light was seen smashing towards the ground. The dazzling light instantly engulfed the neat array in front of it. The originally neat square formation just became the target for Goro Akechi to show off his firepower.

"Oh, it's beautiful."

Kitagawa Yusuke looked at the gorgeous magical light in front of him and allowed his white mask to be stained with purple light.

"Ah, I'm very happy to receive praise from my seniors."

Goro Akechi turned around and bowed slightly to everyone like an actor in a play.

The Taosheng Army, which was originally so powerful, was defeated by Akechi's wide-area magic! The number of them was drastically reduced!

"Oh, then why don't you work harder? I'll leave it all to you."

Jiang Tianwei smiled easily, looking like he was watching a show.

Goro Akechi vaguely felt that there was something wrong with what this person said. Generally speaking, if someone talked to you like this, it meant that you had done something stupid, but he didn't understand what he had done wrong.

Thinking of this, he launched Megiddo several more times. Dazzling purple light balls were emitted one after another, easily engulfing the remaining troops in the yard.

"Guess why we don't use wide-area magic."

Jiang Tianwei saw that there was only charred soil in the entire yard, and no trace of the enemy demon. Jiang Tianwei then walked over and patted Mingzhi on the shoulder.

"Why? It can't be because the seniors can't do it, right?"

"Of course it's because it consumes a lot of magic power. If you use up all your magic power now, how will you explore later?"

"what!"

Akechi Goro showed a look of sudden enlightenment, and Jiang Tianwei patted his shoulder vigorously again: "You still have a lot to learn, newcomer."

"Yes, I understand!"

Goro Akechi acted like a new member of the sports club and bowed seriously to Jiang Tianwei. Jiang Tianwei waved his hand and led the way inside.

A bit of foxy cunning was revealed between the strands of hair that drooped down Akechi Goro: (It’s done. I thought it would take a little longer, but now, I’ve officially joined their organization.)

--------

Although there is no evidence, it seems that the size of the palace is related to the size of the twisted person (the owner of the palace).

The most typical example is Futaba Sakura.

She is different from Kamoshida and the like. In reality, she does not have a place to control. Even if she does, it is only a small room at most.

But her palace was extremely vast, no smaller than Kamoshida's school castle.

This is because Futaba herself is a veteran netizen, her spiritual realm is particularly broad, and children of this age are also good at fantasy.

Similarly, this time all the members of the Sakurano Group jointly serve as the source of the distortion of the palace, making the entire palace appear extremely exaggerated.

The specific manifestation is big.

The gate at the beginning, although huge, is still at a normal level. You can still see gates of the same level in places like the Forbidden City. But the deeper you go inside, the more you feel that the scale of the building is wrong.

The deeper you go, the more you can feel the concept of hugeness, just like Gulliver going to the land of giants...

As a castle tower that could be confirmed to be amiss from outside the courtyard, Jiang Tianwei found that he couldn't even reach the door handle when he stood at the gate. It was literally towering into the sky, as if this gate was built specifically to receive a ten-meter-tall giant...

Jiang Tianwei tried to push the door, but it didn't move at all. He thought for a moment, held the gun with both hands, concentrated all his strength on it, aimed at the crack in the door and stabbed it hard!

Archimedes once said that if he was given a fulcrum, he could move the entire earth. Jiang Tianwei is now preparing to practice whether this trick of prying the door open is really useful.

Boom!

The moment the spear blade hit the door, the crisp sound of metal collision was as sharp as the sonata of an ancient bronze bell, and Jiang Tianwei's spear was bounced back!

(I have the ability to physically penetrate things. My spear cannot penetrate, which means this door cannot be opened by force...)

He thought so in his heart and sighed deeply.

At times like this, his intuition as a gamer played an important role...

"Everyone, I think we are most likely going to have to look for a mechanism to open the door here..."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 569: Door opening puzzle is part of RPG

For RPG players, the most hated thing is to find puzzles to open doors.

In the huge maze, I don't know who had so much free time to arrange several puzzle mechanisms, requiring you to press buttons everywhere, pull switches, and then unlock the road.

Then, this group of heroes and saviors were unable to break down the door or jump over the narrow river and gap, so they had to find a way out, which was very painful.

This is what Jiang Tianwei is thinking now. He just wonders why the people from the Sakurano group are so boring that they have to design such a door opening mechanism.

"Come to think of it, it seems like Madarame did the same thing back then, right? In order to open the door in the cognitive space, you deliberately let Madarame see the door open in reality. Are you going to use the same method this time?"

Kitagawa Yusuke immediately thought of what he had experienced.

In fact, they are very similar.

The palace owner's perception of reality will be reflected in the cognitive space to a certain extent, especially the concept of "you can never enter here".

However, Jiang Tianwei shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be possible."

From experience, what Yusuke said undoubtedly makes sense, but it does not apply to the reality this time.

Because this time, the one who was distorted was not a certain individual, but the entire Sakurano Group.

Let's not talk about whether these gang members have such a unified understanding. Let's assume that they do, then how do you open this door? You have to let everyone in the gang see it, right? This is impossible.

However, Jiang Tianwei did not think twice before deciding to look for a trap.

First of all, there was a black keyhole on the door.

The presence of a keyhole means that the door is not deliberately designed to prevent you from opening it. This is a signal that if everyone thinks that this place is off-limits, then there should not even be a keyhole. On the contrary, it means that everyone thinks that you cannot go there on weekdays, but you can go there if you meet certain conditions.

Secondly, if you consider the geographical location and common sense logic, the most important and largest place in a gang is of course the boss's room.

Since it is the boss' room, there is no reason why I can't get in. I have never heard of a boss who stays at home and doesn't see his subordinates every day.

When Jiang Tianwei explained his analysis, everyone thought it made sense. Jiang Tianwei breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it seemed that after spending some time with Zhidou, his brain had become more useful.

If we continue with this line of thought, I'm afraid that in order to open the door, we need a key, or a specific person. For example, a housekeeper or maid who takes care of the leader's daily life.

"But..." X2

Suddenly, Shinjima Makoto and Akechi Goro spoke at almost the same time. They looked at each other in surprise and said in unison, "You speak first."

The legendary level of tacit understanding made Niijima a little overwhelmed. Akechi Goro smiled and said, "Ladies first."

"Well, let me tell you then. Actor, I wonder if it's possible that this isn't a physical thing?"

What Shinjima Makoto said was a bit confusing and Jiang Tianwei didn't quite understand it, but fortunately his mask was a full-coverage type, and his stunned expression was completely blocked, so only his eyes could be seen.

"What do you mean, Queen?"

"Since this is the palace of the will combination, then does it mean that the castle tower it understands is not a specific room, but a concept?"

It was not without reason that Shinjima proposed this idea. After all, this place was regarded as a city, but as a city, its scale was really strange.

The castle tower occupies at least two-thirds of the entire map. The training ground, blacksmith shop, and various Japanese-style buildings outside seem very inconspicuous compared to the castle tower.

Even for the hierarchical mafia, it is difficult to imagine such a strange structure.

But if we understand it the other way around as a certain concept, it will be easier to understand.

Ancient Japanese castles are divided into two major parts: one is the castle town, and the other is the castle itself. The castle tower is actually a bit like... after the foundation of the castle was built, another layer of function was forcibly added to the roof.

For a foreigner like Jiang Tianwei, the castle tower is basically the place where the castle lord resides, but Xindao really knows the difference between the castle tower and an ordinary castle.

"...Well, do you understand?"

Jiang Tianwei actually didn't understand, so he asked the people around him to seek support. Kitagawa Yusuke and Togo Ichiraku both had frowns on their faces, especially Ichiraku. She had just entered the cognitive space not long ago and didn't know many things yet.

"It seems that everyone is not very clear - Queen, explain it to them."

Jiang Tianwei breathed a sigh of relief and spoke in a pretentious manner to cover up his ignorance. He had learned this trick from a certain Skeleton Supreme, and it was surprisingly useful.

"So, I'm thinking that the thing that opens this door is probably not a regular key or a puzzle, but... some kind of trial."

This is Shinjima's opinion.

If you think of this as a real house, such as the bedroom of the boss of the Sakurano Group, the first question that comes to mind is why the space is so large, which is unscientific. Secondly, why do people think that the boss's room cannot be entered, and there is obviously a keyhole?

Logically speaking, shouldn't everyone be able to go to the boss at any time? Moreover, this kind of Japanese garden, of course, uses the traditional Japanese sliding door, which can't be locked at all?

Since Jiang Tianwei said before that this is a special palace that integrates everyone's cognition as the main body, then it doesn't make sense for everyone to regard the boss's room as an inaccessible place - you just think that the boss himself would think so, right?

So, Niijima boldly put forward a hypothesis.

I am afraid that this "city" is also a collection of certain concepts.

"I have the same idea as Ms. Queen. Let me explain - I'm afraid that this castle tower is not limited to a certain room, but a limitation of "certain qualifications". The ancient city is divided into the castle town where ordinary people live and the castle where samurai daimyo live. I'm afraid that for the Sakurano group, this castle tower is a "symbol of the group members". They regard themselves as a samurai class different from ordinary people. If you think in this way, it makes more sense, right?"

Jiang Tianwei only half understood what they said, but he always felt that what the two people said made sense.

"To sum it up, we shouldn't look for tangible keys or mechanisms to open the door, but rather look for people who are willing to introduce us?"

Jiang Tianwei tried to summarize it, and Akechi Goro snapped his fingers: "As expected of Mr. Leader, your leadership ability is really strong!"

"There's no benefit in praising me."

Jiang Tianwei rolled his eyes at him, but he had to admit that flattery never wears out, and he felt a little happy to hear Akechi Goro praising him like that.

Chapter 570: Waking Up Alone is Really Painful

How do you determine what are ordinary monsters and what are special monsters with quests in classic RPG?

People who have come from the old gaming era should have this experience, which is - if you see something with a different shape, it must be special.

Now the entire Sakurano Gumi mansion is full of Momoo samurai, wearing armor and holding spears, hunting down the Phantom Thieves. After circling the spacious outside twice, they couldn't count how many of these samurai they had defeated. If it were a game like Dynasty Warriors, the compliments like "You are the real Dynasty Warriors" would have popped up a long time ago.

Jiang Tianwei himself couldn't count how many doors he had kicked before he finally found a demon with a very special shape.

It is a traditional Japanese demon, Ippon-tataki, described as a one-legged, one-eyed monster that is said to haunt the mountains. Some believe it is the fallen form of the forging god Tenmoku Ikkogami.
