Persona: Devil Summoner

(What is he doing?).

Jiang Tianwei looked at him in confusion as he rolled down the window. He noticed from the corner of his eye that the blonde girl next to him nodded to him. She ran to the car in two steps, opened the door and got in.

(Ah, I remember! That girl is Takamaki An! Everyone is saying that she is Kamoshida’s woman... No wonder she looks familiar.).

Jiang Tianwei finally remembered the other person's name, although the way he remembered it was a little bit unhappy.

Apparently Kamoshida noticed him as well, and he raised his chin to him and asked, "Want to come up?"

Although it was an invitation in name, from the lack of smile in his eyes, it was just a simple courtesy. Jiang Tianwei quickly shook his head: They were a talented couple, how could it be his turn to interfere? Moreover, everyone in Xiujin Academy had a consensus, that is, don't mess with Mr. Kamoshida. Although he was nominally just a physical education teacher, in terms of status, he was probably much higher than the principal.

The car sped away, leaving behind a trace of noise in the rain. Jiang Tianwei shrugged his shoulders, despising in his heart the behavior of an old cow eating young grass. He lowered his head silently, and like most people, chose to remain silent because it was none of his business.

"Ahhhh! Damn it, that Kamoshida guy!"

Suddenly, an angry roar was heard from afar. Jiang Tianwei glanced over and saw a blond boy from Xiujin College running over angrily. Although he didn't know who he was, he had dyed his hair blond... Could he be a gangster?

Jiang Tianwei looked at the weather and saw that the rain had become much lighter. After weighing the pros and cons, he lifted his schoolbag, which he would only use a few times a year, on his head and ran to school in the rain.

Chapter 6: Castlevania is real

The atmosphere in the faculty office is similar no matter where it is.

Textbooks always like to give teachers all kinds of nice words, but in essence, they are just a group of office workers. Everyone gathers together in the office, and basically sits at their own desks to take care of their own things.

Jiang Tianwei's homeroom teacher is a lady named Kawakami Sadashiro. She always has her eyes drooping listlessly, and her curly hair has corners that can be seen from lack of care. She casually wears a yellow striped shirt and a one-step skirt, and looks like an ordinary office worker.

The document that Jiang Tianwei had to sign was actually similar to a disclaimer. To sum it up, the student did have special circumstances, and after consideration and coordination by the school, the school agreed to let the student continue to take a leave of absence. All consequences arising during the period of leave of absence had nothing to do with the school, and the student had to bear the consequences, etc., just to clear the school of all responsibility.

"Okay, I did get it.".

Generally speaking, in this situation, the homeroom teacher would often show some concern for the students who were on leave, but Teacher Kawakami was also well-known for her lack of motivation. To be honest, none of the students, including Jiang Tianwei, had any expectations of her.

"you……"

Jiang Tianwei was about to leave when he heard Teacher Kawakami calling him. He quickly stopped, turned around, and waited for her next words. Teacher Kawakami opened and closed her lips twice, and finally sighed and said nothing.

Jiang Tianwei could only leave again. From a distance, he could vaguely hear Teacher Kawakami muttering from behind: "Why do all the problem students come to my class..."

It can be seen that Teacher Kawakami still wanted to care about himself, but he probably felt that less trouble is better, or he was worried that the students would not listen to what he said, so he chose to remain silent.

When he left the office, it was already nine o'clock. It was too late to go to work at this time. While walking out of the school, Jiang Tianwei took out his mobile phone and skillfully opened a doctor in his list.

"Do you have time today? Do you need to try the medicine?"

It is not difficult to judge from the content of the text message that this is another job of Jiang Tianwei, a drug tester.

As we all know, any drug needs to undergo a series of drug trials before it can be put into mass production. At first, mice are used to test whether it is harmful. Once it is confirmed that it will not cause fatal harm to the human body, human bodies are needed to collect drug experimental data.

This doctor was a community doctor near Sixuan Tea House. She seemed to have been researching some kind of medicine. Jiang Tianwei went to her several times to try the medicine for money, but to be honest, this medicine often caused fainting for a period of time after taking it, which was a bit scary. Jiang Tianwei rarely went there later.

It's easy to imagine how powerful a drug that can make people faint is. As the Chinese saying goes, "All medicines are poisonous to the core." If you keep trying drugs, I'm afraid that your body will accumulate a lot of toxins.

I'm late today anyway, and I don't want to go to the Chinese restaurant and face people's faces, but I don't want to waste a day's wages. The best way, of course, is to find another job and earn today's salary.

The other party did not reply, probably because it was inconvenient for him to look at his phone. Jiang Tianwei was too lazy to think about it and walked towards the school gate, ready to spend the day leisurely.

"I'll tell you! Show me around the school!"

In sharp contrast to Jiang Tianwei's helplessness and laziness is the ghost Fang Zexia, whose eyes sparkle as if everything can arouse her interest. When the wind blows through the leaves, she covers her mouth excitedly, when sparrows chirp on campus, she happily imitates them, when sports clubs are noisy on the playground, she raises her fist to cheer... She is truly a happy ghost.

Seeing her so happy, I couldn't help but feel that my mood also improved. Jiang Tianwei once mentioned this to her, and the girl proudly puffed out her chest: "This is the magic of fragrance!"

I'm so envious... Living people have to constantly compromise for the sake of life, and finally become decadent and useless. Sometimes they are not as comfortable as ghosts.

"Ok?"

Jiang Tianwei was thinking randomly in his mind, and before he knew it, he had walked out of the school, stepped down the bluestone steps, and walked onto the asphalt road. The rain had stopped, and the sky was filled with dark clouds. He straightened his chest, turned his head, and prepared to take a last look at this alma mater that he had not visited many times, and end his long-lost student life with so-called feelings...

"Hey?! Where is my alma mater?"

He couldn't help but shout out. Not only him, but anyone who saw this scene would be shocked, right? The place that was supposed to be a school, starting from the school gate, was transformed into a magnificent European-style castle!

With Jiang Tianwei's limited life experience, he couldn't find any possible explanation... The most reasonable explanation was probably that he suddenly went crazy.

After all, unexplained mental disorders and disability are so common these days, maybe I have become a disabled person!

The castle appeared clearly behind him, like a mirage, with a transparent texture that seemed to sway gently with the wind. Through the castle, he could vaguely see a little bit of the campus...

"Wow, so high school students are so amazing? They can even transform!"

Fang Zexia was so excited that she kept circling around Jiang Tianwei. It was hard to tell whether she was just being silly or really thought that even high school could transform... Jiang Tianwei was so surprised that he couldn't even speak. He said in surprise, "How is this possible? What kind of school is this..."

Now, there are only two reasonable explanations: 1. This is a collective hallucination! 2. This is some kind of mirage! In short, it's all fake! You can't fool me!

Surprised, Jiang Tianwei took out his phone and wanted to take a photo to post online, but he didn't expect that the scenery he saw through the camera was actually a normal school?!

This, what is going on? !

Jiang Tianwei's jaw dropped in surprise. He turned around curiously and walked into the campus...

Unexpectedly, he thought it was an illusion, but it seemed that from the moment he noticed that this was a castle, his body was in an illusion. The further he went, the more scenery he saw. A huge city gate blocked his way. The red city gate was three or four times as big as him, and the corners were wrapped in beautiful gold, which was quite artistic and more tasteful than the European castles seen on TV.

He reached out and tried to push it, but the heavy door seemed to be welcoming him, so light that it felt weightless.

After opening the door, there is a spacious hall. The black and white floor tiles extend to the end of the field of vision. The white walls are very plain, but the various rose shapes decorated around them give people an illusion of pink. The air is full of sweet smells.

Opposite the door are two curved staircases leading to the second floor. A huge knight painting hangs on the wall, which is the focus of the whole room. It is obvious that this is a portrait of the owner of this huge castle.

Speaking of which, the man in armor in the portrait...why does he look a bit like Mr. Kamoshida? Without the vulgar aura, they are exactly the same.

Is this some weird magic?!

Jiang Tianwei was confused. He had seen on the Internet that the world-famous magician Mr. David once made the Statue of Liberty in the United States disappear. Could it be that today, a Japanese David also turned a school into a castle?

Just as he was thinking this, he heard the sound of metal hitting the ground from the side doors on both sides. He instinctively hid in the shadow of the pillar, and secretly peeked out through the cover of the ornamental plants to observe the situation.

I saw a dozen knights in armor running out from both sides. They were probably not human. Their upper bodies were too round and their lower bodies were too thin. They looked just like the characters in European and American comedy comics with disproportionate bodies and small helmets on their heads, which was extremely funny.

But the shields and swords in their hands were obviously real things. Under the light of the candlesticks, they were shining with cold light. It would be no joke if you were cut by them.

This expressiveness made him feel for a moment as if he had entered some special theme park, or a film and television studio that was open to the public.

(This is too weird, let’s go back first…).

Jiang Tianwei thought so and stepped back quietly, but he didn't expect that at this moment, his cell phone suddenly buzzed!

It was this subtle sound that immediately attracted the attention of all the knights in the hall!

"Who is it! Capture him!"

Jiang Tianwei quickly ran, heading back the way he came. Fortunately, he was some distance away from the knights, so he ran without restraint and slipped out through the crack of the door!

However, what he didn't notice was that there were already four fully armed knights waiting at the gate, holding shields! As soon as they saw Jiang Tianwei rushing out, the four knights raised their shields and rushed towards him together!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 7 Demon Summoning Procedure

I forgot where I heard that the shield was first invented as a weapon.

There are some boring American TV dramas that have done tests, where they show that a strong Spartan using all his strength to hit a person's head with the edge of his shield would produce an injury that is almost equivalent to a car crash, and is fatal.

A great Chinese once said that practice makes perfect. But Jiang Tianwei never thought that one day he would practice the knowledge that he didn't want to know in such a strange way.

The four fully armed armored knights were already heavy, and coupled with the acceleration of their charge from four directions, plus the hardness of the shields themselves, Jiang Tianwei, who was under force from all sides, directly experienced the feeling of a handful of dough turning into dumpling skins.

All the bones in my body were squeezed, making crunching sounds, and my internal organs seemed to be vomiting out. The severe pain was mixed with a feeling of suffocation, and my vision became blurred and pitch black.

Fang Zexia was shocked and couldn't help screaming. It was the first time that Jiang Tianwei heard a girl scream so heartbreakingly. The voice was sharp and loud, and a little broken...

(Am I going to die... If I had known... I would have...) At the end of his consciousness, Jiang Tianwei couldn't help but vomit. His head tilted and he knew nothing.

……

Everything seemed like chaos just beginning.

In the space where he couldn't tell up from down, left from right, Jiang Tianwei vaguely felt as if he was soaked in water. His body was so soft that he couldn't bear the strength and could only go with the flow.

In a trance, I seemed to see a beautiful blue swallowtail butterfly, with beautiful white scales, flying in the sea of ​​consciousness. I wanted to reach out and catch it, but the distance between my body and the butterfly could not be shortened by even a little bit.

Amid the chaos, the sound of wheels turning could be heard.

The man in a red suit and sitting in a wheelchair, whom I had dreamed of several times before, appeared in my dream again today.

It’s strange to say, I had had this dream so many times before, but this time I felt at ease... After all, the dead don’t dream, and since I’m still in the dream, at least I’m still alive.

The face, whose age and features could not be determined, as if it was completely blurred, opened its mouth to him. He seemed to say something, but he could not hear anything at all. There was only silence.

As if noticing that his voice could not be conveyed, the man in red pointed to his pocket.

Jiang Tianwei touched his pocket and found a hard, square object inside, which was his cell phone. He took it out and showed it to the other party. The man in red nodded vigorously and gave him a thumbs up...

"what!"

What woke Jiang Tianwei from his dream was a sharp pain.

My eyes hadn’t recovered yet, and I could only see vaguely, but I heard a crisp snapping sound in my ears, followed by pain on my cheeks, and a musty and rotten smell in my nose, mixed with a faint fragrance…

What's happening here?

Jiang Tianwei tried hard to open his eyes, and saw Fang Zexia raising her right palm. When she saw that she had opened her eyes, the palm stopped in mid-air. She quickly slapped her face in embarrassment, whistled, and quietly took a step back.

Jiang Tianwei sat up and found that he seemed to be lying on a cold straw mat. Outside were railings and stone walls. It was obviously a cell, with a medieval castle feel. Every castle had a large prison underground.

(Prison... didn't kill me directly... but locked me up... does this mean that there is still some use for me if I'm spared? Based on my experience watching TV dramas... I guess I'm safe for the time being... right?)

Jiang Tianwei thought so and reached out to touch his burning cheeks. It was as if someone was riding on him and slapping him on the mouth... He looked at Fang Zexia and saw that she was safe. He couldn't help but feel relieved. Seeing that his companion was fine, even though he was imprisoned, he still felt a sense of security...

"I say, Fangze, my face hurts, do you have any idea?"

"Oh, no, I don't know. Was it, was it bitten by some poisonous insect?"

"Oh! Then let me ask you, what were you doing sitting on me before?"

"I care about you."

"Then what are you doing with your palm raised?"

"I'm afraid you're hot so I'll fan you."

"Then why did you slap my face again?"

"I'm afraid you'll get cold."

"You're the one slapping me, aren't you?"

"Hey?"

Fang Zexia couldn't hide it anymore, so she showed a cute and playful smile, and Jiang Tianwei also showed an extremely bright smile. The cute girl was in full coquettish mode at this time, with her hands folded behind her back, twisting her shoulders slightly, lowering her head and raising her eyes, blinking kira-like eyes constantly.

"Fangze, I want to teach you a Chinese idiom today."

"What?".

"It's called [One Kiss with Beauty]."

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves. Fang Zexia involuntarily took a step back: "I, I don't really want to learn Chinese."

"You have to learn even if you don't want to!"

Jiang Tianwei raised his hands and transformed into a big bad wolf and pounced on her. Fang Zexia laughed and shouted, dodging and moving around in the small cell. It was a lively scene with one chasing and the other running away.

In the end, Fang Zexia was pinned to the ground and was tickled madly by Jiang Tianwei. The scene looked a bit bad, but since there was only one person and one ghost, no one cared, so it didn't matter. "

After laughing and joking, the two looked at each other and lay on the ground. Jiang Tianwei then noticed: "I found that I can touch you?"

Yes, Fang Zexia had never been able to touch Jiang Tianwei directly before. Unexpectedly, in this strange castle, the two of them could have direct physical contact?!

Jiang Tianwei looked at his hands in disbelief: "Could it be?! I, I have already?!"

Since I couldn't touch him because he was a ghost, but now I can touch him... Could it be that I am a ghost?!

Fang Zexia giggled non-stop, raised her hands above her head, stuck out her tongue cutely, and deliberately stretched out the sound: "Maybe you are already a ghost!!!"

The last call was "ghost!" She deliberately raised her voice. The sudden shout scared Jiang Tianwei. Seeing his expression, Fang Zexia smiled and said, "I'm not teasing you. I'm just kidding. It's different here."

Fang Zexia said as she jumped to the fence in two steps, stretched out her green fingers and knocked on the fence, making a crisp metallic sound. It was obvious that this castle was a little special. Fang Zexia, a ghost, could actually touch physical things here...

"Alas, you have to possess a physical body in this situation, so you can only be trapped here with me!"

If she was still a ghost, she could at least float away, but now she was trapped with me. I could only say that this was a joke from God.
