Persona: Devil Summoner

Just as Jiang Tianwei was about to click on the fourth disc, there was a knock on the door.

"Coming."

I don’t have any friends who would come to visit me, so I guess it’s the teacher who’s here.

Jiang Tianwei ran over to open the door, and sure enough, he saw Teacher Kawakami Sadyo looking at him with an annoyed face. Seeing her like this, Jiang Tianwei's heart skipped a beat, thinking something was wrong...

"Student Jiang - do you know what happened today?"

Teacher Kawakami walked into Jiang Tianwei's room without any courtesy, sat on the bed, crossed her arms, and looked indignant. Jiang Tianwei glanced at her face, and the teacher's lazy expression was swept away. Now her eyes were wide open, her eyebrows were angry, and she was obviously angry. Combined with the situation he knew, it was not difficult to guess what she was angry about...

"Were you called away by the students?"

"Huh? Looks like you're also an insider!"

Teacher Kawakami's eyes widened with anger, and a sense of majesty was revealed. Jiang Tianwei swallowed his saliva and said quickly: "It's none of my business, I have advised them!... I have to advise you, teacher, put yourself in their shoes, although Ryuji and Mishima did such a thing, this is life! This is also youth, youth! They must have been fascinated by the word maid!"

"Oh? As expected, the two who escaped are Sakamoto and Mishima..."

Teacher Kawakami's words made Jiang Tianwei feel cold all over: What's going on! Long Si, you actually ran away! ? Mishima? What happened to you two! Also, why didn't you mention Amamiya Ren... What happened...

"You little brats... I'm very tired now... Because of Mr. Kamoshida's matter, Mr. Chouno, who teaches English, is now investigating the background of all the teachers. I'm in trouble too..."

Although she was still wearing a maid outfit, Teacher Kawakami lazily lay on Jiang Tianwei's bed and sighed: "I can't do it anymore..."

Although Jiang Tianwei wanted to comfort her, he couldn't say a word.

"Look, Jiang, I've helped you a lot, right? If you want to choose a side, why don't you stand on my side? Amemiya is already on my side, so you won't betray me, right?"

"Uh, what...Anyway, I will definitely not betray my teacher!"

Jiang Tianwei quickly expressed his determination, and Teacher Kawakami responded by sitting up and asking, "So, what did you ask me to do today? To do the laundry or cooking? Or to give me a massage? Or do you want me to help you with your homework?"

Well, this is really...

It was not until this moment that Jiang Tianwei realized that he had called Teacher Kawakami in order to cover for Long Si and the others. So, now that the teacher was here, what did he need her to do?

"Um... I, I don't know either. How about you take a rest, teacher?"

Teacher Kawakami smiled bitterly, just sat up, and immediately lay down again: "Wouldn't it be like I took advantage of your 5,000 yen for nothing..." Although she said this, she had no intention of getting up. Instead, she stretched her arms to relax her muscles.

It was not hard to tell from her increasingly serious dark circles that her spirit was almost at its limit... Although I felt a little bad for throwing away 5000 yen, I really couldn't bear to ask the teacher to do anything more...

However, before Jiang Tianwei could express his kindness, he heard a cell phone ring, and Teacher Kawakami quickly picked up the phone! Her tone was startled at first, and then a hint of fear was faintly revealed. Although she only responded with "hmm", "ah", "ah", "I see", such a stereotyped response, it was not difficult to see from her increasingly painful expression that this phone call was definitely not a good one.

Jiang Tianwei quietly made a gesture to Fang Zexia, and the ghost girl immediately understood, flew over and stuck to the phone, eavesdropping on the conversation between the two...

Chapter 62: Will you lend me money?

With every word Teacher Sadyo Kawakami spoke, the expression on her face became more and more impatient. In the end, her expression was no longer anxious, but begging, and finally even a bit fawning.

Although Jiang Tianwei couldn't hear the content of the conversation, he could roughly guess from the appearance that Mr. Kawakami was so short of money recently because of this phone call.

"Didn't I just remit money a few days ago... Hey?! How come this happened..."

Teacher Kawakami's tone was almost tearful, and she helplessly loosened her hand, letting the phone fall down with her arm. Teacher Kawakami lowered her head, her curly hair blocked her eyes, casting a dark shadow under the not-so-bright fluorescent light.

"Student Jiang...if, I mean, if, the teacher asked you to borrow 100,000 yen, what would you do?"

From a teacher's perspective, borrowing money from students is completely hopeless and there is no way to get away with it. If the Education Bureau finds out, her teaching career would probably be over.

At the same time, this also indirectly reflects to what extent Kawakami Sadyo was pushed.

"borrow.".

Jiang Tianwei estimated his assets in his mind and found that he must have at least 100,000 yuan.

Jiang Tianwei's words made Kawakami Sadayo's nose sore. She walked over involuntarily and hugged his head, gently rubbing his hair like a mother caressing her child.

"Thank you... but I really don't need it. I won't borrow the money you saved from taking a year off from school."

"That doesn't matter. Money is only money when it is spent. But, teacher, have you heard of this international agreement? 'Don't compromise with terrorists.'"

Jiang Tianwei's words made Kawakami Sadyo a little confused. Why did he suddenly mention terrorists?

This analogy is indeed a little difficult to understand, but it is indeed the most appropriate example that Jiang Tianwei can think of. Why not compromise with terrorists? Because once you give in, you will definitely be asked to do more and more excessive things. Because if you give in, it means that terrorist attacks are an effective means of negotiation, which will definitely lead to more terrorist acts.

Therefore, even if it will cause certain sacrifices, even if the terrorists hold hostages, we must never compromise with the terrorists.

Although we don't know exactly what happened, there is no doubt that Kawakami Sadayo was blackmailed. We can imagine that either she was asked to pay a huge amount of compensation, or she borrowed high-interest loans, and the interest has been compounded to the point where she can't pay it back at all.

But no matter which type, once you start to give the other party money, the other party will cling to you like a maggot on the tarsal bone. Do you think that once you have enough money, the other party will let you go? No, that kind of person will never give in.

Teacher Kawakami pushed Jiang Tianwei away, and a smile returned to his face. Although there were still traces of tears, he looked much more sunny and cheerful.

"Okay! It's almost time. Today's service is over. Maid Betty is leaving."

"And the money?"

"Aiya, what are you talking about, Master~ If I borrow money from you, I will be disqualified as a maid~"

Teacher Kawakami laughed it off and got away with it.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Tianwei didn't ask any more questions and could only let her go.

The room returned to silence, and Jiang Tianwei sat on the bed, supporting his chin with both hands. The people around him were blackmailed, and this kind of thing made it difficult for him to calm his sense of justice.

"Fangze, did you hear anything?"

"Well... According to my understanding, it seems that the teacher once caused someone to be disabled... and then the parents of that person kept taking the opportunity to ask Teacher Kawakami to pay compensation..."

"Causing someone to be disabled?!".

This reason poured cold water on Jiang Tianwei's sense of justice.

I originally thought that the teacher was being blackmailed unilaterally, but did it turn out that there was also a layer of disability? Now, the situation is suddenly different. Whether it was a car accident, or the teacher was a gangster and beat someone up and disabled them, asking for medical expenses is indeed a reasonable request.

"Yeah, it seems so. When he heard Teacher Kawakami said he would not give money, he immediately said, "Then you are not taking care of the child? Are you still a role model for a teacher?"

Fang Zexia deliberately raised her voice to imitate the man's voice on the phone, which sounded muffled and very funny.

"I see... I thought the teacher was blackmailed by a dishonest merchant... It seems like there's something else going on..."

Adolescents are often more mature than adults imagine. Jiang Tianwei has heard of (and witnessed) many examples of good intentions leading to bad results. It is indeed very satisfying to do things based on passion alone. But then what? What if it really hurts others?

If you come across such a plot while watching an animation or playing a game, you just need to scold the screenwriter. But what would you do if such a thing really happened in real life?

(Alas, always looking ahead and behind, this is not fun at all. It would be great if everything could be like in the cognitive space, either teammates or enemies, just kill, kill, kill, and fight, and it would be over.)

Jiang Tianwei suddenly thought of recognizing space.

(What a pity! I should have known better than to deal with Kamoshida so soon... Now I can’t even enter his palace, so I can’t find a place to stretch my body and relax...)

I want to talk to someone, but who can I talk to?

Jiang Tianwei doesn't like to spread other people's secrets at will.

As if by some strange coincidence, Jiang Tianwei walked out of the house, wanting to go out for a walk and relax. As luck would have it, Jiang Tianwei heard a muffled thump coming from the next room!

There is no doubt that this came from Master Liu's room!

He was an old man alone in his room, and now there was such a loud noise, how could Jiang Tianwei not be worried? ! He knocked on the door quickly: "Master Liu! Master Liu, are you there? Is there an accident?"

After shouting, Jiang Tianwei quickly put his ear to the door and listened carefully to the sound inside.

There were no footsteps, which meant that the person wasn't a thief, otherwise he would have run away after hearing someone knocking on the door.

It also means that if the noise was made by Master Liu, then he should be unable to move now.

Jiang Tianwei could faintly hear a slight "ouch" through the door. He was shocked and said to Fang Zexia beside him, "Please, Xia, go and help me check the situation!"

"Got the order!".

Fang Zexia also knew that this was not the time to joke around, so she responded and used her ghostly physique to get in. After a while, she flew out!

"Jiang Jiang, something bad has happened! Master Liu seems to have fallen off the bed! Now he is lying on the ground groaning!"

"hateful!".

Jiang Tianwei imitated how to knock on doors in movies and TV shows, but those were all fictional. How could doors in reality be so easy to knock open? He went around to the balcony. It turned out that this apartment might have been too old, and the landlord was worried that the balcony would be unsafe for thieves, so all the rooms were separated by an impassable partition. If you jump directly from balcony A to balcony B, it is not difficult for people with better physical fitness to do it.

But if there is a wall between A and B, you need to jump from A to mid-air first, then turn in mid-air and jump to B. That is not something that humans can do!

What can this be done?

Jiang Tianwei was so anxious and confused that his mind was in a mess. He shook the door handle vigorously, trying to open the door...

If only there was a way to destroy that door! If this was a cognitive space, I could summon the secondary demon and directly break that door...

(Wait... who stipulated that we cannot summon secondary demons in real life?).

I have never tried this kind of thing, why do I think it is impossible?

Jiang Tianwei swallowed his saliva, and took out his phone as if possessed by a ghost...

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 63 The devil is in the world

Jiang Tianwei pressed the mobile phone APP.

A familiar voice sounded: "Welcome to the Devil's House..."

Without waiting for the prompt to finish, Jiang Tianwei concentrated his mind and whispered: "Two-horned beast! Show up!"

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up in the narrow corridor! A emerald-colored silk ribbon of wind blew up from Jiang Tianwei's side, and a majestic black horse jumped out from Jiang Tianwei's side.

"Contractor, why are you calling me this time..."

"Knock this door open for me!"

"Is that all? I see."

The black horse lowered its head, stepped on the ground with its four hooves, and aimed its pair of cold horns at the door...

Boom!

It was as if a heavy train had hit the wall directly, and the loud bang almost tore open one's eardrums.

Jiang Tianwei rushed into the room quickly. Master Liu was already dizzy and unable to speak!

Jiang Tianwei didn't know where he got the strength from, but he bent down and got into Master Liu's arms. He put his hands on his neck and with some strength, he actually lifted up the pot-bellied old man!

Judging from the situation at the scene, the old man was probably taking a nap at noon, turned over, and fell from the head of the bed.

If he were a Japanese who was used to sleeping on tatami, this situation might not have happened. Unfortunately, Master Liu could not adapt to sleeping directly on the floor and must have slept on a bed.

The height from the bed to the floor is not very high. For a young man, a fall is not a big deal. But Master Liu is over 70 years old after all. He is old and his bones are brittle. Many times, he breaks his legs just by falling.

The more Jiang Tianwei thought about it, the more frightened he became. He was extremely anxious and quickly ran to Wu Jianmiao's clinic carrying Master Liu on his back.

As mentioned before, Wu Jianmiao's internal medicine hospital had a bad reputation, so few people visited it on weekdays. At other hospitals, it would take almost half an hour just to wait in line for registration. Wu Jianmiao heard the door of his clinic being slammed open, and he looked up and saw that it was an old acquaintance.

She didn't say much, but stood up silently, pointed to the door behind, and motioned him to carry the old man in. Leaving the old man lying on the bed, Jiang Tianwei quickly asked: "Is he okay? Is he okay?"

Wu Jianmiao didn't even raise his eyelids. He scanned Master Liu's sweaty body and his pale face and said, "I'm a doctor, not a god. How can I tell at a glance? But based on my experience, it shouldn't be a big deal."

It is April and May now, the time when spring and summer meet, and it is particularly easy to catch a cold. Especially for some elderly people, who have poor immunity and are not sensitive to cold or heat, it is easy for them to catch a cold while sleeping.

Judging from Master Liu's appearance, this should be the case, he just caught a cold. However, he fell to the ground, which was a real injury.

Wu Jianmiao carefully pinched the flesh on his waist, and Master Liu gasped in pain. Wu Jianmiao frowned and said, "It's not a serious illness, but this hip bone may be a big problem."

Just as Jiang Tianwei had worried before, the old man was not careful when he was sleeping and broke his leg when he fell off the bed!

Wu Jianmiao is an internist. Even she could easily tell that something was wrong, which was enough to show how serious the injury was.

"The conditions here are not good enough to take care of this old man. I will help you... Hey?! Little white mouse?!"

Wu Jianmiao's voice sounded as if it came from the abyss. No, it felt as if... he was falling into the abyss... Wu Jianmiao's voice echoed between the invisible walls, sharp and rough, fierce and calm. The contradictory feeling stimulated Jiang Tianwei so much that he wanted to vomit.

This feeling is somewhat similar to the situation where a protracted battle in the cognitive space leads to excessive mental exhaustion, but it is also somewhat different... This tiredness deep in the cerebral cortex is like a sticky spear that pierces the skull sharply and then solidifies the brain into a ball... It is very disgusting.

This feeling is just like the price of summoning a demon in reality...

--------

"Kokoko... It's finally started! We have long known that human desires are a bottomless pit... As long as we start, they will seek destruction on their own..."

Jiang Tianwei was in a trance when he heard a deep baritone speaking to him.

When he came to his senses, he found himself standing in a strange place.
