Persona: Devil Summoner

Next to the court was the police station, which of course had a lot of police cars. The police were asked to wait in the police cars in advance, and a time was estimated, so that they would come out to deploy defenses when the time came, and then Mingzhi would first take their people and cars to the other world.

Because the palace owner's sphere of influence only includes alienated places, Niijima Sae is the court, so the underground parking lot of the police station next to it is not affected.

As a policeman, I have long been accustomed to staying alert in the car and waiting for orders. It doesn't matter. Waiting for a few hours is considered a short time. Under normal circumstances, it may take several days, weeks or even months to arrest a criminal and monitor him before he can be arrested.

After that, he went to find Jiang Tianwei. Bringing him to the palace and catching Niijima Sae's shadow were all part of the plan.

But what he didn't expect was that Jiang Tianwei and himself would be beaten away by Niijima Sae.

But it doesn’t matter, because whether Niijima Sae is dead or alive does not affect the entire frame-up plan.

So, he took Jiang Tianwei to the rooftop, originally planning to push him off the rooftop. He just pretended to be affectionate and told him to get some fresh air, and then just threw him down.

The only flaw was that Jiang Tianwei's actions were too fast! So fast that it was scary!

Because mobile phones cannot be used in the other world and belong to the "outside circle", Akechi Goro can only arrange his plans in this way. As a result, Jiang Tianwei came too quickly and was defeated too quickly, and the result was that he won precious "blank time".

The result was that when the police finally came out of the underground garage and were about to arrest the suspect, the phantom thief Goro Akechi fell from the sky!

Goro Akechi was just a detective! He had no authority to mobilize the police. He told his superiors about this order, and they arranged it. So the police didn't know that Goro Akechi was the initiator of the plan and arrested him on the spot.

How did Jiang Tianwei know about this plan?

Remember, the policewoman who led the group crushed Akechi's mind with one knee? Yes, Chie Satonaka also participated in this plan. Since she participated in this plan, she must have known about it, and if she knew about it, she would naturally tell Naoto.

If Naoto knew, Jiang Tianwei would know.

Although Jiang Tianwei threw away his phone, he had a more reliable way to communicate than a phone! Ding ding ding! That was the ghost Fang Zexia!

So, Goro Akechi perfectly shot himself in the foot, which is really delightful.

But, more pleasant things are coming.

Jiang Tianwei pouted at Amamiya Lian, and the latter picked up his cell phone.

On the phone was the apology meeting of Okumura Foods.

On the screen, Kunikazu Okumura apologized to the media, the public, and everyone, and at the same time, he confessed the "darkness". Kunikazu Okumura confessed that he had asked someone codenamed "Black Mask" to cripple him. Although he didn't know who this person was, he told the media with certainty that crippling and mental rampage were not the actions of the Phantom Thieves.

Because, before the Phantom Thieves appeared, he had already commissioned this matter.

The damned person didn't die. This fact made Goro Akechi's originally confused mind seem like a needle suddenly inserted into it!

"Okumura Kuniwa... this guy... and you... I will never let you go!"

Goro Akechi's eyes were bloodshot, his bloodstained teeth were clenched, and he looked like he wanted to eat someone.

Jiang Tianwei just smiled casually and said, "Don't worry, the really uncomfortable things are yet to come~"

Chapter 654 My mission is completed!

Persona users don't have palaces, so there's no way to change their hearts.

This is also easy to understand. The premise of having a palace is to have a shadow. The reason why persona messengers can awaken persona is because they recognize that their shadow has merged with their shadow. Whether it is admitting the shameful side of their heart or tearing off the hypocritical mask and releasing their repressed self, it means that persona messengers have reconciled with their shadow.

So without shadows, there would be no palaces, just like without the earth, there would be no earthlings.

Therefore, facing Akechi Goro, Jiang Tianwei had no way to take away his secret treasure and make him reform.

This was also the beginning of Goro Akechi's tragedy.

"Akechi, let's talk about someone's past. I have an investigation report on someone here. He is the illegitimate son of a "big shot" and has never been recognized since childhood. While he and his mother were dependent on each other, his mother's postpartum depression became more and more serious, to the point where she had to be hospitalized."

Jiang Tianwei spoke word by word, and he deliberately spoke slowly in order to put psychological pressure on the other party.

"you shut up……"

"And the name of that great man is Lion Boy Justice, am I right?"

"I told you to stop talking!"

Akechi Goro was angry and wanted to stand up again, but he had been injected with a large amount of confession agent, and even if he was healthy, he couldn't beat Jiang Tianwei in reality. Jiang Tianwei pushed him back to the chair in anger.

"Okay, then let's not talk about you. Let's talk about Shitong Zhengyi. I guess you want revenge on him, right?"

"What's wrong with wanting to avenge your loved ones? You do the same thing yourself!"

Mingzhi Goro was pressed on the chair by Jiang Tianwei. Although the other party only used one hand, he felt that his whole body was powerless. He could only scold the other party angrily.

"Yeah, I am the same. So I am not saying you are wrong. I am just here to compare answers with you."

Jiang Tianwei is now very sure.

I have noticed before that the mention of the concept of "wise father" seems to easily touch Goro Akechi's reverse scale. In this case, either he respects his father very much and will never allow his reputation to be damaged, or he hates his father very much and will never allow anyone to mention him in front of him.

Obviously, Goro Akechi is the latter.

I have to sigh here, the level of the first generation detective prince is really good, he really found out everything.

Especially Shido Masayoshi, as a congressman, he can almost cover the sky with one hand. Politicians value their reputation very much, and he certainly won't sit back and watch his "dark past", so after he has power, the first thing he does is to find a way to erase the dirty things he did in the past.

Under this premise, it is amazing that Bai Zhongzhidou was able to dig up the past of these two men.

"So, Akechi-kun, please use your high IQ brain and think carefully. After this happened - will that adult continue to trust you?"

"!"

When Goro Akechi heard this, his boiling blood suddenly turned cold! And it was ice cold!

He knows that man so well!

That man, no matter if the person is his lover or his subordinate, will not sit idly by as long as he has no value to use and as long as there is a possibility of discrediting him.

Although he and he were in a cooperative relationship, and the two of them could be considered close comrades, right? (At least on the surface, that was the case), but Akechi Goro was convinced that once he lost his usefulness, he would be kicked out by the other party. This was the reason why he wanted to kill Jiang Jie.

But now, he himself has been arrested as a phantom thief... No matter whether it is true or not, or whether he was wrongly accused, no one is speaking for him now.

Of course the Phantom Thieves wouldn't save him.

Ordinary police officers and the National Security Bureau only want to close the case quickly, calm the excited public opinion, and give everyone an explanation. Naturally, they will not defend Goro Akechi, the current thief.

Shido only cares about his own justice and doesn't care about Akechi's life or death. It's better to say that he wants to kill Akechi directly to prevent him from saying things he shouldn't say in prison.

Moreover, he was not simply "lost his usefulness". He was the one who proposed and volunteered to frame the Phantom Thieves. In the end, the Phantom Thieves were not caught, but he was arrested instead. At this time, how could Shido admit that he had any relationship with Akechi Goro?

Sacrifice the pawn to save the king... This is what the man will definitely do.

Goro Akechi is very smart and knows his father very well...

It was only at this moment that he understood what Jiang Tianwei meant by "the truly painful thing"...

For people, the most painful thing is often not death. It is the sudden loss of hope. The loss of hope is more terrible than death. After all, when you die, you know that everything is empty. When you die, there is nothing left.

Goro Akechi has lived for revenge these years. He has imagined countless times in his mind what he would do, how he would harm him, and what kind of painful expression his father, Shido Masayoshi would have in the end. He has thought of every detail and is just waiting to see it with his own eyes... But now, when he is one step away from realizing his dream, he is told that it is impossible.

Especially, he is a paranoid criminal. If it was just for revenge, he could have directly destroyed Shi Tong, but he didn't. He chose to push Shi Tong to the top first, and then throw him down hard. For a person like him, the pain of failure is fatal.

"You, you bastard! How dare you! How dare you!!!"

"Didn't I tell you? I will make you pay the price, and it will be very painful. It will be much more painful than death."

Jiang Tianwei was very satisfied with Goro Akechi's expression. His eyes were lifeless, his hair was wet with sweat, and stuck to his face in strands. His skin was pale and bloodless, and his mouth was wide open, but it just opened and closed normally, without making any sound.

"By the way, I'll tell you a little secret. Shitong will definitely give up on you decisively. Because - he is trying to be nice to me now. Now that you have an accident, I am his only choice. Now that the prime minister election is approaching, he will definitely not make any trouble. You just stay in prison and enjoy the last moments of your life. Although I won't kill you, you should know Shitong's methods better than me, right? Oh, just go with peace of mind, I will deal with Shitong for you - but not kill him, but make him admit his guilt. What a pity, this way you can neither see his hysterical expression, nor his indescribable death, nor Shitong's tearful apology. Ah, what a pity~"

Jiang Tianwei became happier the more he talked. As someone with a similar personality to Mingzhi, he knew too well how to make such an arrogant guy collapse. The more relaxed he acted, the angrier he got.

Even Jiang Tianwei himself now wishes he could kill Akechi Goro to avenge his father.

However, after weighing the pros and cons, he finally chose not to kill him. Because Mingzhi was far more useful alive than killing him, and now he was no longer alone. As the leader of the Phantom Thieves, he had the obligation to represent the image of the entire organization at all times - I really hope this person also thought of this when doing the live broadcast.

Of course, not killing only means not taking his life. Looking at Goro Akechi's distraught look, Jiang Tianwei felt that this was more satisfying than killing him.

Jiang Tianwei wanted to say something, but Niijima Sae patted his shoulder silently and told him to shut up. Jiang Tianwei also cooperated and shut up. After all, he was able to come in because of him, so he had to give him some face.

——After that, there were only two possible outcomes for Goro Akechi: suicide or assassination by people sent by Shido. Jiang Tianwei didn’t know which one it was, and didn’t want to know.

He has more important things to think about than this.

That is... the mastermind behind this.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 655 The battle on the other side

After Niijima Sae took the two people out of the secret interrogation room, they didn't say a word all the way. After all, this is a public place and they can't say anything careless. On the way, everyone also saw President Okumura who was escorted here.

If he was just exploiting employees, then normally he could just apologize and pay compensation, but he chose to say that he was related to the cripple and mental disorder, so he would inevitably be investigated by the police.

However, it seemed that someone had played some tricks, and the police officer in charge of guarding Kunikazu Okumura happened to be Chie Satonaka.

Not only does she have extensive experience in persona combat, she also possesses strong fighting skills in reality and is very righteous. With her watching over him, at least Kunikazu Okumura's life is guaranteed while he's at the police station.

Okumura Kunikazu is now considered a collaborator of the Phantom Thieves.

Because, the plan of faking death on screen would be impossible to complete without Kuni Okumura's own consent.

It is not difficult to get him to help. After the shadow changes his heart and loses his twisted desires, he will become a person with normal morals. Under strong self-condemnation, he will tend to atone his sins.

Therefore, when his daughter revealed her identity and proposed a plan to help, Kunikazu Okumura agreed decisively. After all, he had his own daughter, who was thicker than blood, and he could also fight against the shadow that was quietly looming over Japan.

This is also why when he was vomiting blood and "dying", what he thought in his heart was (This is the atonement I can do).

As for Niijima Saemo... the reason is similar.

Before in the palace, Jiang Tianwei and the others were fighting against Akechi Goro. Since Amamiya Ren was not dead, where was he?

In the palace, of course.

Moreover, he was hidden among the common people in the palace.

He used hairspray to comb his fluffy hair neatly, then changed into a suit and a ball mask. Hey, anyone who saw him would have to say that he was an old playboy who came to the casino!

This is the "invisibility technique" taught by Baek Naoto himself. When you have always appeared in front of people with a certain fixed image, and you suddenly break all your characteristics, it will be easy for people to ignore you.

Everyone's impression of Amamiya Ren is that of fluffy hair, big glasses, and the school uniform of Shujin Academy. If you remove all these elements, you will get a handsome guy who is so fashionable that he is out of water.

Besides, Goro Akechi came here just to scout the place, so he was too lazy to look at what the shadows in the palace looked like one by one!

With Yoshizawa Kasumi delivering information in reality, as soon as Jiang Tianwei went out, she immediately notified everyone in the Phantom Thieves. While Jiang Tianwei and others were fighting Akechi on the rooftop, Amamiya Ren was directing everyone to change their minds to Niijima Sae.

This lineup is luxurious.

Amamiya Ren has versatile traits and can switch personas at any time to adapt to various battlefields.

Ryuji Sakamoto is a rampaging charge captain who is good at physical attacks.

Takamaki An and Morgana are good at attribute magic and have recovery abilities.

The overlord of the end of the century, the pioneer of motorcycles, the super fighting student council president Shin Niijima (and she is his biological sister.)

Kitagawa Yusuke has excellent aesthetics, is good at ice magic and has the ability to instantly solidify the air.

In addition, there is Togo Ichimi-san who is responsible for replacing Futaba Sakura and coming here to assist everyone.

This is to resolve the shadow of Niijima Sae as soon as possible so as to free up time to help Jiang Tianwei.

Thanks to Jiang Tianwei for destroying the casino's mechanism, now everyone doesn't have to worry about the gambling mechanisms here, they just need to go all out to fight against Niijima Sae.

As a professional strong woman, Niijima Sae has a very strong understanding of herself. Shadow Niijima Sae demonstrates this strength. First of all, she has no weaknesses and is not susceptible to any abnormal conditions.

Secondly, there is the gun and knife combination with extremely high firepower.

I have to complain here, these two sisters are really sisters, and blood relationship really can't lie. One is a good girl on the surface, but a domineering overlord at the end of the century in her heart, and the other is a cool and capable queen, but a wild monster in the wasteland in her heart.

"You are indeed sisters after all..."

In the palace, Ryuji Sakamoto watched as Niijima Sae pointed the muzzle of the gun at his head, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"What did you say?"

Shinjima rolled his eyes at him, and Ryuji quickly said, "No, no! I didn't say anything! You must have heard wrong, President!"

How could the shadow Niijima Sae care about their internal strife? Her motto was to never miss an opportunity, so she decisively pulled the trigger!

"Persona! Come out! Grand Marshal Ming Wang!"

There is only one reason why Sakamoto Ryuji was so fearless, that is, he trusted his companions very much. Sure enough, before Niijima Sae's bullets and fire attacked, Amamiya Ren took action first!

A giant with dark green skin appeared out of nowhere and used his body as a shield to block the gun of the shadow Niijima Sae!

This great general is said to be a Buddhist king who is in charge of war and protects the country. He is one of the sixteen Yaksha generals. His Dharma appearance is four heads and eight arms. His green skin matches his solemn demeanor, making him look like a savior. His two arms are clasped together in a mudra, and the other six arms hold six Dharma instruments: a wheel, a spear, a rope, a bat, a stick, and a knife.
