Persona: Devil Summoner

Jiang Tianwei handed over a handwritten letter of Phantom Thief's notice.

The background is red with black ripple patterns, and because it is handwritten, it doesn’t have that kind of stylish collage, so it looks a bit like a fake.

(This cannot be used as evidence...)

Niijima Sae frowned, and his first reaction was that this thing could not be used as evidence.

Because the style of this notice letter is different from previous notice letters. In the judicial level, this kind of thing is usually considered a counterfeit. It's like printing counterfeit money is illegal, but printing ghost money is not. Even if the ghost money is made into the style of currency, it is the same. This kind of crude imitation that is "fake at first glance" will not be regarded as a valid attribute in the judicial system - otherwise, those who print ghost money will be sued for counterfeiting...

"What does it mean?"

Niijima Sae had a sullen face and spoke in a bad tone. Jiang Tianwei still had a deadpan expression on his face: "It's a declaration of war against you."

"Declaration of war?"

"Let's fight it out. Let's take a gamble and see if I can change your mind or if you can catch us first."

“… Humph, feel free to use whatever tricks you have. I don’t know how you managed to make others submit, but if you think I’m that weak, you’re making a big mistake.”

After Niijima Sae finished speaking, he casually threw the notice into his trouser pocket, told Goro Akechi to "keep an eye on him", and set off.

However, although Niijima Ya walked briskly, he was faintly excited deep down in his heart.

Because, I won. I won!

Although the thief's warning letter in his hand could not be used as evidence directly, if he had received the letter and his heart had been changed, then that would be another matter. This would mean that there was a connection between the warning letter and the change of heart, and even if Councillor Shido supported him, it would not be possible to protect him.

On the other hand, if he fails to change his mind, then he will gain time, and by then there will always be evidence whether he searches or fabricates.

As for what would happen after he changed his mind? That didn't matter. Niijima Sae asked himself, he hadn't done anything wrong, so there was nothing to repent for. Even if he changed his mind, he had nothing to confess.

After seeing Jiang Tianwei's behavior, Akechi Goro didn't need to confirm again. Jiang Tianwei's decision was already very obvious.

"For the sake of everyone, let's join forces and steal the secret treasure."

As Goro Akechi said this, he turned on the navigation on his phone. A red and black light flashed, and the two of them entered Niijima Sae's palace together.

The key word is that Goro Akechi has already tried it out.

Sae Niijima treated the [court] as a [casino].

Bet everything on the line, the winner takes everything, the loser loses everything, the tense and exciting judicial game is about to begin.

What’s a bit surprising is that Goro Akechi’s clothes are still normal, but Jiang Tianwei has already switched into a phantom thief costume.

The reason is very obvious, it is because of the duel letter Jiang Tianwei just sent. No matter who it is, if they are given such an obvious crime warning by their target, they will regard the other party as an enemy, right?

"Let's go. Akechi... This is our last battle."

Jiang Tianwei's voice was low and it was obvious that he was very disappointed.

Goro Akechi also nodded: "Okay, I understand. Since you have decided, let's have a cool final battle!"

Chapter 647 Are you acting a little too hastily?

Sae Niijima's palace is very similar to a real casino.

There are humanoid NPCs wandering around inside that are no different from ordinary humans.

After all, there are several kinds of human distortion. In the case of Niijima Sae's distortion, at least his [way of looking at people] is very accurate.

The huge casino has several floors, and the entire space is covered with red carpet, which is decorated with black patterns that look like the patterns of playing cards.

Playing cards of various suits kept falling from the sky. It is worth mentioning that, as we all know, playing cards starting from 11 (that is, JQK) do not have ordinary patterns on them, but depict heroes, while the kings and queens, that is, the joker cards, have neither the clown nor the publishing house drawn on them, but a lady with a very dark style, and her face looks a bit like Sae Niijima.

Perhaps, this is how she perceives herself—an absolute trump card.

As we entered the casino, Niijima Sae was standing at the door to greet everyone.

Jiang Tianwei compared the pattern of the playing cards with the shadow of Sae Niijima in front of him and nodded: The degree of restoration is really high!

On his head he wore a wide-brimmed hat, which was all the rage in the 1960s and 1970s. The hat was decorated with blooming yellow roses, and four white playing cards with no numbers but only patterns were arranged in sequence among the petals.

Below is the beautiful face of Niijima Sae. It must be said that the genes of the Niijima family are really amazing. Both sisters are beauties. However, at this time, Niijima Sae's pupils are bright yellow, and the sides of her eyes are painted with heavy black eye makeup. Jiang Tianwei can't tell whether it is eye shadow or the dark circles of heavy metal bands. With her black lipstick and fair skin, there is a wonderful charm.

She was wearing a bold long dress with a large V-neck in the front and a black mesh filling the middle, which was half exposed, but the back was fully exposed with a dog pattern of ambiguous meaning.

She spread her arms out, her black sleeves and gloves seeming to welcome the two of them.

"Welcome to my casino, stupid thief. You want my secret treasure? Then, go up to the top floor one floor at a time."

"Is the secret treasure on the top floor?"

"What do you think?"

As Niijima Sae said this, he snapped his fingers, and his figure disappeared in an instant, appearing in an elevator not far away.

Jiang Tianwei chased after him and was about to open the elevator when the elevator door made an annoying electronic sound: "Please insert your membership card."

"It looks like it's a membership system? What should I do? I'm not bragging, but I'm pretty good at gambling."

Goro Akechi asked.

Jiang Tianwei just smiled: "Why should I do things according to that woman's ideas?"

He ignored Goro Akechi's objections and grabbed his wrist. Then, Jiang Tianwei jumped and fell on the outer wall of the elevator!

If you have been to a large shopping mall, you must have seen an elevator with a similar shape, just like a pillar that goes straight up and down. The elevator in this casino is like this. Since it is not embedded, it means that you can rush up directly by climbing the outer wall!

"Hey, hey, hey?! Isn't this a bit too hasty?!"

It was the first time that Goro Akechi had experienced such a simple and crude way of cracking a computer. He was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head!

Jiang Tianwei didn't care what he thought. Now, he just wanted to end it all quickly...

The glass column is smooth? No problem.

Whether it is the hands or feet, every time they come into contact with the glass pillar, a clear dent will be left. He can use his extraordinary physical fitness to climb along the almost vertical pillar while holding a big man in his hand. This shows his level.

This is no longer a question of core strength; this is a level that is completely inconsistent with human standards!

Goro Akechi also realized this deeply.

Maybe Niijima Sae has set up many traps? But, what does it matter?

Anyway, Jiang Tianwei was not going to play games with her properly.

Just like in a casino, the dealer can cheat. As a guest, Jiang Tianwei can also choose to flip the table. This is why most casinos have security guards.

The two used this cheating method to easily reach the depths of Niijima Sae's maze.

"I will never do extreme sports again in my life..."

This was Mingzhi Goro's first feeling. He couldn't hold it back and vomited. Jiang Tianwei looked at his embarrassed appearance and didn't care at all.

This is a broken bridge. There is a machine on my side. When you get close to it, it will say "Please obtain 100,000 chips to open the bridge."

This so-called bridge looks like a huge scale. The horizontal bar on the top is the road, and there are two trays below. It seems that you need to put 100,000 chips to press down one of the scales, and finally force the scale to become a bridge.

But, at this distance...

"Akechi, I'm going to jump over there..Call me when you're ready."

"Jump over?! Are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious. Even though I don't use this thing very often, I do know how to use it."

Jiang Tianwei said this as he untied a piece of rope from his belt.

Speaking of thieves, this method of hooking something with a rope and then swinging it in the air is considered a standard thief routine.

Goro Akechi looked at the rope in his hand and asked, "Are you planning to use something up there as an anchor point and swing over with the rope?"

"No, it's to tie you to me."

Jiang Tianwei said this and started to tie the rope around Akechi Goro.

"Ugh?!"

It turned out that Jiang Tianwei really didn't need a rope to jump over.

It would be a bit exaggerated to jump a distance almost equivalent to the length of a bridge in just one step.

But why do this?

Since the scale is hanging in the air, why don't you just use it as the landing point? If one step doesn't work, take two steps.

Jiang Tianwei's fighting performance completely shocked Akechi Goro. He was simply too strong.

Although I knew that humans would become stronger when entering cognitive space, I didn’t expect them to be this strong!

Jiang Tianwei and Mingzhi arrived at the final destination so easily without playing any games.

In fact, as a prosecutor who pursues victory, Niijima Sae does use all kinds of tricks. If you want to know the prosecutor's dirty tricks, you can play Ace Attorney. Although it is not realistic enough, it can definitely be used as a reference.

There were countless methods that Niijima Sae had secretly set up, including secretly changing the success rate, secret operations, etc. If I were to play games with her here, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to finish it in three to five hours.

But it is also rare to find someone like Jiang Tianwei who can solve the problem in just fifteen minutes!

Inside the open door is the shadow of Niijima Sae.

Maintaining a haughty attitude, Niijima Sae said with a stern expression: "You actually ignored my test and came directly to me..."

"I'm here to take the secret treasure. I don't care about anything else."

Jiang Tianwei said this and stared back with a pair of cold eyes.

Deep inside Sae Niijima's palace is a huge casino roulette wheel.

If anyone has ever played roulette themselves or seen roulette in a movie, it should be easy to understand that it is an enlarged version of the roulette wheel.

Everyone was standing on a green tablecloth, surrounded by a circle of red and black checks that was spinning rapidly.

Niijima Sae was standing in the middle, waiting for the challenger, but there was no worry on his face.

If you want to know why... this is her palace! How could she lose in her own palace!!!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 648: So what if I cheated?

Although there are only three people on the entire battlefield, two challengers and a boss, and the boss is not a giant monster, the whole scene does not seem to have any horror elements, but the solemn atmosphere at this time is more terrifying than an ordinary giant monster boss battle.

"Come on, place your bets!"

Shadow Niijima Sae said this with her arms open, and a betting symbol similar to a casino roulette wheel appeared behind her. Various numbers in black and red formed a somewhat handsome pattern behind her.

Although Jiang Tianwei had never been to a casino, he had already experienced this kind of roulette in various games. Usually, this kind of gambling is divided into: the most profitable bet is on color, you guess whether the ball will land on red or black, because the probability is the highest, so the profit is the lowest. Then, you can bet on a range of numbers, such as betting that the ball will land on 1-5, or 6-10. The most difficult, of course, is to bet that the ball will land on a specific number.

This feeling is like when you play the lottery, whether it is the Double Color Ball or the Mark Six Lottery, the probability of winning all and the probability of winning just one are completely different.

Jiang Tianwei looked behind her and smiled: "I'll bet on the numbers."

"You have guts. Which one do you want to bet on?"

“I bet [no]”

"Would you like to bet on number 0?"

Niijima Sae didn't quite understand and asked again. Jiang Tianwei shook his head: "I bet your ball won't go in any number."

Niijima Sae snorted, "Stupid."

She raised her hand and snapped her fingers—I have to say, my sister can snap her fingers even with gloves on.

Thanos's finger snapping caused a lot of bored scientists to do research, but it's not a difficult task. Jiang Tianwei can do it too. Anyway, the core of the finger snap is to make this action and then make a sound. Can't you just learn it with your mouth? As long as you have perfect ventriloquism and good coordination, you can make it look real.

This is the core logic of magic and deception: they look similar, but they are essentially different.

Jiang Tianwei is going to do the same thing next.

Suddenly, a huge lion's mouth appeared in the casino behind Niijima Sae, holding a huge iron ball. As the lion's mouth loosened, the huge iron ball fell onto the rapidly spinning roulette wheel...

However, it happened in a flash. Jiang Tianwei turned the spear in his hand and threw the butt of the spear towards the iron ball in the air!

Boom!

The crisp sound of metal collision was like the sound of a huge bell. The huge iron ball that was free falling in the air was hit by a huge force at the bottom, and the whole iron ball flew up in the opposite direction! There was another bang, and the lion statue that spit out the iron ball was directly smashed.

The dust and metal debris fell downwards, enveloping the speechless shadow Niijima Sae.

Her original black outfit looked quite nice, but with the addition of a layer of dirt, it started to look a bit "earthy".
