Persona: Devil Summoner

If her father changes his mind, then Okumura Foods’ image will surely collapse completely, and she will be branded as the “daughter of a black-hearted entrepreneur” for a long time.

However, no matter what the future holds, she is prepared.

"President Okumura, you don't have to be so desperate. I believe you are capable. If you don't have the ability, you can't turn Okumura Foods into a multinational company. Doesn't hitting the bottom mean that there is no room for further decline, and the only option is to rebound from the bottom?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Tianwei tried to comfort Okumura Kunikazu, but Okumura Kunikazu just smiled bitterly.

Everyone can say this kind of nice words, but only those who actually do it know how difficult it is to get back on track. It's like someone asking you, "Why didn't you get full marks in the college entrance examination? Is it because you don't want your life to be too perfect?" But in fact, it's because most people don't have the ability to get full marks. If you say it with your mouth, it's just a dozen words at most, but it's completely different in practice.

"Besides... you are not completely without anything, don't you still have a daughter? At least you are still alive, and you still have a chance to be a good father. Don't wait until you are gone forever before you regret it."

Jiang Tianwei's tone became bitter as he spoke. Perhaps he was thinking of his family. Once dead, everything is over. On the contrary, as long as you are still alive, there is hope. Okumura Kunikazu may no longer have the opportunity to make a comeback and become a qualified entrepreneur.

But if he repents, he can still be a good father. In this respect, he is different from his own father. After all, he is still alive, and being alive has infinite possibilities.

Okumura Kunikazu chewed over these words, and looked at Okumura Haru. Looking at the unfamiliar thief costume on her, he couldn't help but sigh again: As a daughter, she has grown up so big without him noticing, so big that he almost can't recognize her.

Although he really wanted to let the father and daughter enjoy a moment of warmth, Jiang Tianwei still had important things to do.

"So, President Okumura, I only have one question for you: Was it you who made him become disabled and mentally ill?"

"Me? No, not me! I didn't! I didn't do such a thing!"

Upon hearing this, Kunihiko Okumura broke out in sweat. As a dirty man, he knew too well the tone of "when someone does something bad, you can blame him for all the bad things." So he quickly denied it.

Jiang Tianwei believed this.

Considering the difficulty of turning a person into a cripple, the person who can do such a thing should be someone with special abilities like the Phantom Thieves. Given the pathetic fighting ability that Okumura Kunikazu just displayed, it is hard to believe that this guy can turn himself into a cripple again.

"I, I, I just... I just signed the contract! I, I admit that I did sign the contract with them for the development of the company, but I definitely didn't! I definitely didn't do that kind of thing!"

As Kunikazu Okumura spoke, tears could not help but flow out of his eyes. As soon as he heard the direction of this topic, he had roughly guessed (in his mind) what would happen next. It must be these people. Prepare to portray themselves as the big villains! Prepare to put all the dirty charges on themselves! Just like what he did to others!

So, he was terrified...

"With whom, when, and where did you sign the contract? What exactly was the content? How did you make the deal? Tell me everything!"

Jiang Tianwei asked sternly, and the timing was very precise, just like in a movie. There was a loud explosion. Although the countdown in his head was still going on, something had already started to explode! The fierce hot wind shattered the glass, and energy and debris poured out...

"Ah ah!?"

The female members of the Phantom Thieves were instinctively frightened, and Goro Akechi lifted his cloak in an emergency and used it as a "protective gear" to block the debris. This is actually a feasible method, but it can only be used to block sharp blade debris. In fact, the "arrow shield" in the archery hall is based on a similar principle, relying on the soft deformation of the cloth to mitigate the power of arrows inserted on it.

"There's no time! Let's retreat first!"

Goro Akechi said to everyone anxiously.

"Hey, that's why I say! You better confess quickly! There's no time!"

Ryuji said angrily while looking at the crying President Okumura.

Amamiya Ren held down the impulsive Ryuji: "Let's get out of here first! If something happens to us, it will be a waste of time!"

"Yeah, let's find out clearly when we get to reality!"

Shinjima also followed suit.

Ryuji Sakamoto looked at Kunikazu Okumura kneeling on the ground in pain, then looked at the traces of continuous explosions behind him. He cursed angrily, turned around and ran away with his companions.

Only the shadow of Kuniwa Okumura is always kneeling here, like a statue of repentance...

Chapter 633 The battle of geniuses’ brains is about to begin

I don't know who stipulated that, every time you reach the final stage of the game, you always have to give some explosive points. Whether it's a real explosion or a shocking reversal, in short, if you don't have an explosive point in the game nowadays, you'd be embarrassed to say hello to others.

But the problem is, this kind of thing is just for viewing in the game, it shouldn’t exist in real life!!!

Now Jiang Tianwei just felt that he was watching some VR American blockbuster, which would always have an explosive ending with full tension in the final stage.

Okumura Kunikazu's palace seemed to be filled with countless explosives, exploding one after another, as if the air was heating up.

"mona! Turn into a car!"

Kasumaki An reminded him, and Morgana then remembered that he had this superpower, and quickly turned into a car.

But, the car was not big enough to accommodate everyone.

There are only two seats in the front row, and at most four can fit in the back.

It couldn't be more.

Since Morgana was a group of people, it was natural that the car was filled with a group of people, including Amamiya Ren, Takamaki An, Ryuji, Futaba, and Haru. Actually, if they squeezed a little, a slender person like Yusuke could force his way in, but from a standpoint, it was not appropriate, so forget it.

A cat-shaped cart with four wheels is definitely faster than a person with two legs. Jiang Tianwei and Yu Gong Lian looked at each other and didn't say much to each other.

Amamiya Ren did not invite him, and he did not ask to get in the car. The two of them just said in tacit understanding: "See you in reality." It was as if they believed in each other's abilities and would never die in such a place.

"Then we have to move quickly..."

Jiang Tianwei was about to speak when suddenly a ball of fire exploded beside him!

"Captain! Get down!"

Goro Akechi leaped forward with all his strength, throwing Jiang Tianwei to the ground. He then used his body as a shield to protect Jiang Tianwei!

The explosion ended quickly, and Jiang Tianwei quickly got up: "Hey, Mingzhi, are you okay?"

"Ah, I'm still alive...hiss..."

As he was talking, he suddenly gasped in pain. Jiang Tianwei looked down and found that his calf was pierced by a sharp piece of glass! The bright red blood stained his pure white trouser legs.

"I'll carry you!"

"No need! You go first! I'll catch up soon."

At this moment, Akechi Goro was like a hero, persuading Jiang Tianwei.

"I'm not leaving. If you want to leave, everyone should leave together!"

"Don't be so stubborn! You are the leader! Listen, this is what a leader is! - Even though it was only for a short time, I am also a member of the Phantom Thieves, so I have this awareness!!!"

For the first time, Goro Akechi expressed his emotions in a way that was almost shouting, and through the red mask, one could see his determined eyes.

Dongxiang Yiersan was the first to come over and hooked his arm: "Let's go... Captain..."

She is probably the one who is most willing to accept sacrifice. After all, no matter what kind of chess game it is, "loss" is indispensable. Even AlphaGo, the top AI chess player at that time, could not avoid losing chess pieces.

In order to win, you have to make small sacrifices. This way of thinking is rooted in the hearts of every chess player. Unless the opponent is really too weak, there will be no chess game with zero losses.

"Captain, don't worry. I'm not looking for death. I have a way to escape. Just trust me. After all, I'm a hero. A hero is someone who survives to the end, right?"

As Goro Akechi spoke, he raised his fist towards Jiang Tianwei. Jiang Tianwei remained silent, but finally silently stretched out his fist and bumped his fist with his.

He said nothing and escaped with Togo Ichi-san, Niijima Makoto, Kitagawa Yusuke, and Yoshizawa Sumire.

As if to say farewell to them, they had just left when they heard a loud thunder. The passage behind them was affected by the violent explosion and was completely broken!

------------------

In the secret treasure room, Kunikazu Okumura lowered his head. His oxygen mask was filled with vapor, blurring the glass and making it difficult to see his face. Perhaps it was caused by tears and excited sweat?

He knelt on the ground, and it was unclear whether he was praying or confessing.

Silently, a black figure appeared behind him.

It was a man with a completely black body. He was wearing black and blue clothes, the two colors seemed to be entwined around his body like a spiral. On his face, he wore a helmet that looked like the skeleton of some kind of dragon beast, with only a little bit of his face exposed where his mouth seemed to be.

He stood quietly behind Kuniwa Okumura, aiming the gun at his heart from behind...

boom.

Compared with the sound of the explosion, the gunshot seemed so barely detectable.

Okumura Kunikazu fell forward weakly, his helmet stained bright red from the blood that came out of his mouth, making it impossible to see his expression inside.

The visitor breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "If I really let you tell me everything, it would be bad - fortunately I was prepared."

As the man in black said this, he took out a remote control device and pressed it. There were two loud bangs and the room responded to his action by turning into a sea of ​​fire.

He took off his helmet, revealing a handsome and free-spirited face, like a beautiful man in the spring breeze, but at this moment he had a distorted smile on his face, just like the famous Light Yagami.

"It's quite a pleasure working with you, President Okumura."

As he uttered the last words, the color of his black clothes changed almost instantly, from pitch black to a duet of pure white and gold. The black helmet he had just taken off also turned into a red crow's mouth mask, which looked very much like the mask of doctors who saved lives during the Black Death.

This person, without a doubt, is Goro Akechi!

"The next step is to provide proof of my absence... hehe..."

------------

Escaping was not difficult for Jiang Tianwei's team.

First of all, the new island's real motorcycle can carry people. The best in this regard is of course India - don't worry about what the law stipulates, anyway, they can do this kind of weird thing from a physical level.

The current Shinjima is like Yusuke sitting in the front and Yi Er San carrying him at the back, all at lightning speed.

And Yoshizawa Sumire was held in Jiang Tianwei's arms, and judging from the movements, this was a standard princess hug.

It is said that every girl has fantasized about being carried like a princess at some point in her life. I don’t know if it’s true, but it’s obviously the case for Sumire Yoshizawa.

In the arms of her senior, Yoshizawa Sumire's face flushed red as she enjoyed the moment of being close to her lover. She could clearly hear the duet of her own heartbeat and the other's heartbeat. The only flaw was probably that she couldn't smell the other's scent very well.

Usually in girls' comics, there will be plots where the girl smells the hormones emanating from her lover, but unfortunately, Jiang Tianwei only smells of gunpowder - after all, he just rushed out of a sea of ​​fire, so there is really nothing he can do about it.

The most interesting thing is that although Jiang Tianwei was running on his feet, his speed was not slower than Niijima's motorcycle.

Although he is inferior in straight-line acceleration, when facing a turn, Shinjima Makoto needs to slow down and make a circle, while Jiang Tianwei can just step on the ground and make a right-angle jump.

Although this example is not very appropriate now, it is very similar to the comparison in Beyblade. One is good at lightning speed and the other is good at straight-line acceleration. This is really like Beyblade, isn't it?

Following the explosion path, they rushed to an open area. Jiang Tianwei quickly activated the Alien World Navigation APP and brought everyone back to reality...

In reality, everyone is of course in front of Kunikazu Okumura's company.

Jiang Tianwei and the others came back a little late. After all, they had a love drama with Mingzhi before, so it would take more time no matter how you think about it.

however……

"Yeah, everyone."

The limping Goro Akechi waved to everyone with a big smile on his face.

Niijima was really surprised. She was really surprised: "You, how come you are faster than us?"

"Ah, that's because the tunnel I was in exploded. Isn't it that the surroundings are in outer space? There is no gravity. So I followed the hot wind from the explosion and came to the place where we first gathered. Oh, it's a bit dangerous, but it's okay for now."

Mingzhi rubbed his back and smiled bitterly: "My back hurts..."

Jiang Tianwei said nothing, walked up behind him, and slapped him hard on the back.

"Ouch, that hurts, ouch, what are you doing?!"

"What are you doing? Damn you! You said a lot of tear-jerking bullshit, and you're fine! Give me back my feelings!!!"

Not only Jiang Tianwei, Shinjima Makoto, Togo Ichimi, Kitagawa Yusuke, even Yoshizawa Sumire everyone gathered around, bullying Akechi Goro with punches and kicks, it looked like two best friends were just communicating with each other.

Chapter 634: Things that can inspire courage are not necessarily great

Kunikazu Okumura's secret treasure is a box of models.

According to Haru, it seemed to be a box of models that he particularly wanted when he was a child, but Haru's grandfather, Kunikazu Okumura's father, did not buy it for him until the end.

This model is not something particularly valuable. At the time, it seemed to be just a cheap product that took advantage of the sci-fi craze. It was neither a collaboration with a big IP nor a product with fine workmanship.

There are images of outer space and a large disc-shaped flying saucer printed on the box, which is probably the original idea of ​​Kunikazu Okumura to have a space base.

People are like this. Oftentimes, what people treasure are not necessarily expensive or beautiful things. What's important is not the value of the item itself, but the emotions embedded in it.

Of course, according to Futaba's curious investigation, this thing has been discontinued for a long time because it sold very poorly. Now in the eyes of collectors, it is a rare and famous product... If it is auctioned, it can get six or even seven figures in profit... It's really touching...

As for the effectiveness of changing one's heart, no one doubts it.

After all, this is how it has always been. In the past, everyone has been through this.

There was no reason why Okumura Kuniwa would be different, so everyone naturally disbanded on the spot.

Jiang Tianwei was a little touched by Okumura Kuniwa. This was not about their father-daughter relationship, but his "persistence".

Even though he had become a one-in-a-million big boss like him, the thing he desired most in his heart was actually just something so ordinary.
