Persona: Devil Summoner

What Jiang Tianwei thought of was the son of Master Liu who was so devastated that he cried.

Could it be that, in his heart, the things that truly support him are not status, fame, or wealth?

Jiang Tianwei was going to have a good talk with Master Liu, so he didn't go out with anyone today and went home early.

At the door of his shabby house, he saw Master Liu chatting with a beautiful woman. The beautiful woman looked to be about 30 years old, and had a face that looked much younger than her actual age. She had dyed brown hair, and was wearing a dress and carrying a shoulder bag. She looked like a very common fashionable woman.

At this moment, she was a little anxious, gesticulating with her hands, but the short and fat Master Liu opposite her just looked embarrassed.

There is nothing that can be done about it. As I said before, Master Liu knows nothing about Japanese. He can still say yes, OK, no in English, but he is really bad at Japanese. The only thing he knows is the word "ba ge ya lu" which he learned from the anti-Japanese drama, but that word is obviously not usable in daily life.

As soon as he saw Jiang Tianwei coming from afar, the master quickly stretched out his hand to greet him: "Tian'er, come here, what is this girl talking about?"

Jiang Tianwei quickly ran upstairs and helped Master Liu translate.

"Who are you, ma'am?"

"Oh, are you an acquaintance of the old man? That's great. My father-in-law doesn't understand Japanese, and I really can't communicate with him."

As soon as he heard this, Jiang Tianwei could confirm the other party's identity.

That must be Manager Liu’s daughter-in-law.

Here is a little popular science. Manager Liu first started a family in Japan and then brought the old man over. Although the old man met his daughter-in-law a few times, the Chinese people of that era did not have a good impression of the Japanese. Although he did not interfere with his children's marriage, he was not prepared to get involved.

So even though he thought the girl looked familiar, he did not recognize her as his daughter-in-law.

Jiang Tianwei asked a few more questions and it turned out that Manager Liu had not been home for the past few days and she was very worried.

"Please tell him that no matter what he is like now, he will always be the pillar of the family and a husband I am proud of."

As she spoke, she frequently looked at her watch, as if she was very concerned about time. She continued, "If he can't afford this family, then I will go to work. I will protect this family. He doesn't have to put so much pressure on himself."

Hearing her say this, Jiang Tianwei couldn't help but sigh that Manager Liu was really blessed, having an old father with a strong patriotic sentiment and a good wife who was willing to support him all the time. If you look at the news, it is not difficult to find that it is not uncommon for families to be sweet and happy when they are rich, but want to fly away when they are in trouble.

Jiang Tianwei nodded, saying that he would definitely pass it on. She then bowed deeply to Jiang Tianwei and walked away quickly, as if she was really in a hurry. It was probably an interview, or a part-time job?

When Jiang Tianwei told Master Liu this, hot tears immediately rolled out of the old man's eyes: "[What a good daughter... My son is so lucky... Alas...]"

"【Speaking of this, it suddenly occurred to me, was there anything that Manager Liu particularly wanted to eat when he was a child, but you didn't give him? Or, was there anything that he particularly liked when he was a child? Maybe that can cheer him up?"

"[Cheer up my kid... When he was a kid... ah! Yes! Yes! When he was a kid, whenever he got upset, did poorly on exams, or got bullied, I would make him candied haws!]"

Tanghulu! This is a common snack in northern China. Wrap hawthorns with melted rock sugar and let them cool in the sun. Then you have the sweet and refreshing Tanghulu! Later, it gradually evolved into many varieties. Oranges, yam beans, strawberries, etc. can all be wrapped in soup.

In Japan, the most similar food is probably candied apples. In Japanese animations, you can always see these being sold at temple fairs.

However, because Master Liu's family was not wealthy in his early years and the transportation industry was not developed, the family had some reserves of rock sugar, but hawthorn was not common. So, in order to make his children happy, Master Liu researched various types of Liu's candied haws by himself.

Common ones include cucumbers, potatoes, cherry tomatoes... He has tried everything at home that can be coated with sugar on his children.

In that era, happiness was so simple. Just having a bite of candy made people satisfied.

The older you get, the higher the cost of happiness becomes. It's really sad.

Making candied haws is not difficult. The key is two things. The first is to boil the sugar. You have to melt the rock sugar into syrup. Master Liu is the best at this. The second is condensation. This is why candied haws are usually sold in winter. After all, you have to ensure that the sugar coating on the outside does not melt.

But this is not a problem. Although it is summer now, the refrigerator, a civilized tool, is not a vegetarian!

This time, for the sake of his children, Master Liu certainly did not hesitate to use his skills and took out everything he could use.

Looking at Master Liu working in the kitchen with a limp on one leg, his face full of excitement, Jiang Tianwei secretly glanced at the layout of the room. Because there was only one single room in this apartment, there was no room dedicated to Manager Liu. He just curled up on the sofa with dull eyes.

(I hope that after hearing Kunikazu Okumura's confession, you will change.)

Thinking of this, Jiang Tianwei gave Master Liu a few words, telling him that Aomura Foods would hold a press conference recently, and that Manager Liu must be allowed to see it and not let him miss it. This was the most likely thing to cheer him up.

All that was left to do after that was to go home, rest, and wait for Kuniwa Okumura to change his mind.

------

That night, in the hospital, in the intensive care unit.

Kawahara Masaki finally slowly opened his eyes.

I feel tired all over my body. This is the feeling of fatigue that occurs after sleeping for several days in a row.

The doctor on the side noticed this and said excitedly: "You finally woke up! I will tell everyone this good news right away!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 635 You plotted against me?!?!

Okumura Foods is going to hold a press conference.

This is news that no one can contain.

The people who were most excited about this news were undoubtedly the members of the Phantom Thieves. After all, this was the person they had personally changed their hearts!

The other group of people are naturally the big fans of the Phantom Thieves. They called on the Phantom Thieves to take action against Kuniwa Okumura online, and now that the Phantom Thieves have really taken action, they are of course the ones who want to see the result the most.

And of course there are Kunikazu Okumura's employees and their competitors.

The employees are thinking about it, if the president changes his mind and becomes a good person, then maybe they can have a vacation! Maybe, they can have ten days off a year... No, this is too exaggerated, at least, at least four days off a year may be possible, right?! This is great!

Competitors are waiting. Once Okumura Foods goes out of business, no one will eat their crappy Cosmos burgers! Will people still eat Western fast food? Of course they will. By then, everyone will definitely look for a substitute for Cosmos burgers!

Everyone was on edge, waiting for Kuni Okumura to apologize, and immediately asked the publicity department to follow up: "If the Cosmos Burger collapses, can we still eat those burgers?" Such topics had already been written and would definitely be released in various fields, in order to attract as many customers of Okumura Foods as possible.

Therefore, no one was in the mood to attend class today - in fact, this was just an excuse. These students never thought about attending class properly...

During lunch time, I could hear Long Si muttering: Why isn’t school over yet? I can’t wait any longer!

Only Okumura Haru looked a little worried...

Jiang Tianwei's words were actually more worrying than anyone else's, because he not only wanted to see Okumura Kunikazu's apology, but he also received a notice early this morning that his stepfather Kawahara Masaaki had regained consciousness, and he planned to go visit him.

Moreover, after looking at the situations of the Okumura family and the Liu family, Jiang Tianwei gradually felt that should he also find some time to meet with his family?

Perhaps because they could see that no one was interested in learning, many teachers chose to just give up and just talk about something casually.

Soon, the boring student time was over. As soon as school was over, everyone did not even leave the school, but found a comfortable corner and started looking at their phones.

I don't know what Kunikazu Okumura was thinking, the press conference was held at the right time, just after school. It was as if he wanted to grab a wave of traffic.

Jiang Tianwei was no exception. He simply went to the place where he had lunch - the stairs leading to the rooftop.

Turn on your phone and prepare to watch Kunikazu Okumura's "performance".

Like all people whose hearts were changed, Kunikazu Okumura appeared on the screen with a very decent attitude.

"Thank you for taking the time to come here. Today, I will respond to your voices and reveal the full situation of our company's labor. - The accusations against Okumura Foods on the Internet, forcing employees to work too much, being too negligent in the hygiene management of food ingredients, and the entire company trying to conceal these things... I am really sorry!"

As Kunikazu Okumura spoke, he bowed deeply to the camera. Reporters around him clicked their shutters to record this scene.

"So, all of this was done under your instructions, President. Do I understand what you just said?"

A reporter asked.

"Yes. I'm very sorry. Moreover, not only that, our company has an important news to announce... Regarding our company's competitors, strange things always happen. In fact, this is also secretly arranged by me... Ku?!"

Okumura Kunikazu was talking when his eyes suddenly widened and he had difficulty breathing. He seemed like a fish that had come ashore. He opened and closed his mouth meaninglessly, but he was unable to take in any air. All he could hear were strange sounds coming out of his mouth...

"President Okumura?"

A reporter, noticing that something was not right, asked tentatively.

“…Yes, I…it’s all me…Pfft!”

Okumura Kunikazu tried to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of black blood. He fell to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut off...

“President?!”

Whether it was the reporters or the surrounding employees, they all surrounded him. Some senior executives, seeing that things were not going well, quickly stepped forward and said, “Stop filming! Stop filming!!!”

At this moment, Kuniwa Okumura had only one thought in his mind: (This is... the atonement I can do...)

In the simple garden on the roof, Okumura Haru looked at the screen in disbelief. A sharp cry of "Ahhh" echoed throughout the school building!

Before Jiang Tianwei could take the next step, a phone call came in, blocking the replacement screen of "Broadcast is being prepared, please wait" on the screen.

It’s Bai Zhongzhidou.

"what happened?"

“There’s no time to explain. First, throw your phone onto the branches outside the wall right now! Someone will retrieve it! Second, no matter what happens, you must not blindly use force—remember what I’ve taught you.”

"No, what's going on?"

Jiang Tianwei was really confused this time. What happened? But Bai Zhongzhidou's tone was very anxious, which made Jiang Tianwei instinctively feel that something was wrong. She was not the kind of person who would make trouble without reason. She must have her reasons for telling him so.

So he didn't ask any further questions and did it immediately.

Jiang Tianwei had just thrown his phone away and was about to go to Yu Gong Lian to discuss what to do. Suddenly, a few policemen came over and asked, "Are you Jiang Tianwei?"

"I'm?"

Jiang Tianwei didn't understand why the police came to find him.

"Someone reported you as a Phantom Thief. Come with us."

A policeman said this, his expression full of coldness and hatred, and he was obviously convinced that Jiang Tianwei was the criminal.

"Please don't resist. You'll suffer less."

Several policemen pressed Jiang Tianwei's shoulders without any explanation, treating him as a real criminal...

An hour later, in the police interrogation room, Jiang Tianwei finally learned the whole story from the video.

Does anyone still remember Kitagawa Minghai?

That's because he was bullied and turned into a paranoid lunatic.

He claimed to be a criminal who had lost his temper and went to surrender.

However, he proposed a trade-off: he could tell everything, but he had to wait until Kawahara Masaaki woke up. And...his self-narration had to be told to Kawahara Masaaki.

There is nothing we can refuse on this point.

The main reason is that the Kawahara Group is quite powerful, and there are big shots behind them protecting them. If you arrest people abruptly, even if they don't say anything openly, you can't guarantee that they won't do something behind the scenes.

Thus, the secret interrogation of Kitagawa Akihabara began with only insiders and Kawahara Masaaki knowing about it.

"My name is Kitagawa Minghai... I am the criminal responsible for all the crimes related to emotional outbursts during this period..."

"Emotions are running wild. What are the specific cases?"

"I, I can't remember... They were all customers of Kawahara Bank... I used them as experimental materials..."

"So, are you related to cases like the cripple case?"

"No... I didn't do that. Turning him into a useless person was the work of the Phantom Thief!"

"Do you have any evidence?"

"Of course I have evidence - the Phantom Thief is Jiang Tianwei!!! He is the future young master of the Kawahara Group, Jiang Tianwei!!! He is the Phantom Thief! He is the real murderer who has become a cripple!"

In the video, Kitagawa Minghai, who had always been gentle and low-key, suddenly fell into a manic mood at the end. Blood-red tears flowed from his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were cracked to the extreme. He roared loudly and waved his hands wildly, as if this was the only way to show his happiness!

The police officers who were interrogating the suspect were all frightened. On the one hand, they suddenly knew the identity of the thief and needed to quickly arrange the arrest procedures. Even if it was a mistake, they had to arrest him now... What if it was true? If they arrested the wrong person, they would have an excuse!

"Hahahaha! Boss! Turn back into that cold-blooded killer!!! I'll be watching you in hell!"

At the end of the video, he shook his wrist, and a table knife appeared in his hand!

At this moment when the police were in confusion, Kitagawa Minghai fiercely inserted the dinner knife into his own temple!

It is one of the most fragile organs of the human body, and brain tissue can be easily destroyed from here...

Kitagawa Minghai, a coward who dared not kill anyone, killed someone for the first time today.

Because he firmly believed that in this way, the god he loved would regain his majestic status.

The era when religion flourished the most was often the era when society was the most turbulent, because there was no hope in life, so people would often place their hopes on ghosts and gods. The same was true for Kitagawa Minghai, who had no desire for his own life, but only wanted to see the God that made him fanatically worship from the bottom of his heart.

He firmly believed that as long as he did such a thing, that adult would be angry and furious. As long as he used this method to frame the young master he was proud of, no matter whether he escaped or died in the end, it would stimulate Kawahara Masaaki and make him return to his cold-blooded attitude!

Especially, if he died, he wouldn't even have a target for revenge - he could only lose his emotions again and turn into that cold-blooded machine!

At the end of his life, he had no fear, no sadness, only joy that welled up from the bottom of his heart, and... a little regret for not being able to see the majesty of God with his own eyes.

boom.

In the ward, smoke was coming out of the muzzle of the gun in Kawahara Masaaki's hand.

In front of him was a TV set that had been shattered by bullets.
