Persona: Devil Summoner

When Fang Zexia saw him pulling her away so forcefully, she thought: (Oh, Jiang Jiang is afraid that I will be depressed and will be sad because of the scene, so he wants to take me away! Away from this sad place, oh, I am really sensitive~ adolescent boys!)

Yoshizawa Sumire was the same. She didn't understand what was going on at first, but after thinking carefully: (Ah, maybe it's because my sister and I mentioned the topic of desserts before? So the senior is going to use this to bring us closer. As expected of a senior, he is very observant and considerate!)

Only Jiang Tianwei himself knew that he simply didn't want to be entangled by Elizabeth, this weird woman...

Just as the three of them left Meiji Jingu and started eating taiyaki, red bean pie, crepes, and cutlets at a stall outside—did you just eat all these things on the same day?! I thought they were sneaking out to eat the same thing at once! ! ! —Anyway, just as they were having such a good time, Yoshizawa Kasumi suddenly screamed!

She, she just forgot it!!!

I didn’t buy my own love charm! I didn’t write a wish card for a smooth relationship!

Captain Jia said: Before you came to Meiji Jingu, you had no amulets or ema. After you went to Meiji Jingu, you still had no amulets or ema. So, you came to Meiji Jingu for nothing!

Chapter 691 Don’t you have any idea?

Shinjima is really upset today.

The reason for my irritability... Of course it's because of the Phantom Thief!

Ah, but this time we can’t blame Jiang Tianwei entirely.

Does anyone remember that there was a fan of the Phantom Thieves who made a channel for them? Although this was made by Yuki Mishima himself in his after-school time.

However, because it was created the earliest, and he himself spent a lot of time and energy to maintain the website, and the commissions written here could really be handled by the Phantom Thieves, so this website is often regarded as a gathering place for veteran Phantom Thieves fans.

It's like a non-profit wiki website created by players with love, which was finally promoted because it was too strong. There are even some irresponsible officials. If you ask their customer service, they will just throw the wiki to you, which is very irresponsible.

Today, what really gave Niijima a headache was a message on this website.

It is said that a student from Shujin Academy encountered a strange guy in the planetarium in Ikebukuro...

For reasons of both reason and public and private, Shinjima Madoka felt that she should accept the commission. Whether it was because she wanted to protect the students as the student council president, or because she herself had been blackmailed by Jincheng's men and hated evil, she decided to take on the commission.

So, why bother?

The reason was that some idle people in the student union, no one knew who first mentioned this message. As a result, everyone in the student union was very excited and prepared to secretly watch how the thief solved all this in a heroic manner.

Ah, this is a bit embarrassing, isn't it?

Although Shin Niijima tried to dissuade everyone from doing so, he was defeated by the enthusiasm of the Phantom Thieves fans in the room. After all, the Internet is a good example of how powerful fanatics can be.

This is where Niijima really struggles.

You can't let Jiang Tianwei really beat up the weirdo in real life, right? That would have a very bad influence...

However, if you try to enter the weirdo's heart from the cognitive space, you need to know the weirdo's name. In short, you have to meet the other person in person.

If you meet and do nothing, gossip will surely spread...

Shinjima now wants to give up thinking, but then he changes his mind and realizes that he has joined the Phantom Thieves as a staff officer after all. If you don't even use your brain, then you are not a staff officer at all!

(So, the most appropriate method is to only allow a small number of groups that will not cause any surprise if they appear... Amamiya Ren's group has not been exposed yet, so I can't invite them to increase the probability of exposure. The same goes for Yusuke and Ichi-San. In that case, only Jiang Tianwei and I can go! Since I am the student council president, I can say that I came with the student council. It doesn't matter if he is a phantom thief whose true identity has been exposed. Well, that's it.)

Shinjima Makoto was doing something in his mind that couldn't really be called an analysis.

Because, if you think about it carefully, this logic doesn't make sense. Since Amamiya Ren and the others are not exposed, why not just let Amamiya Ren and Jiang Tianwei team up, with Jiang Tianwei responsible for attracting the attention of others and Amamiya Ren responsible for dealing with the weirdos? Or just let Jiang do a solo.

Anyway, this person is born to act alone and pursue personal heroism. He is the classic image most favored by Hollywood in the United States. Just let him do it on his own.

However, everything has a cause and an effect. If Niijima really thinks like this, she must have her own intentions. Maybe she hasn't noticed it herself, but the subconscious deep in her heart will not lie.

It's like a psychological test. You tell someone, "Someone in your family died!" When he has multiple family members, his first reaction is to think about who died. Then you can use some psychological measurements to infer how important that person is to his heart.

Shinjima Makoto herself didn't realize that what she was thinking about now was not so much the optimal solution as it was the optimal solution "based on a certain premise."

However, Shinjima, who had not yet realized this, sent a text message to Jiang Tianwei, asking him if he would like to accompany him to the planetarium in Ikebukuro.

The reply came quickly.

"So, there's only one couch between us, did you really have to text me?!"

Jiang Tianwei got out from the back of the sofa, and tilted his head back at the classic 45-degree angle of Shinbo Akiyuki to look at Shinjima Makoto, who was sitting at the dining table in the middle of the living room. The straight-line distance between the two of them was no more than five meters, so there was really no need to use the distance for texting!

Shinjima pouted: "So are you going or not?"

"You can go."

Jiang Tianwei didn't care. He lay on the sofa reading comics while waiting for his nail polish to dry. Yes, this product has received a lot of orders because of its high traffic. In the current popular words, it is "making money".

The content ranges from clothing brands to beauty products to men's private props (referring to razors). He is now trying out this Phantom Thieves exclusive nail polish that claims to bring you the charm of the night. The first 100 people who call in will also receive nail stickers with the Phantom Thieves logo. It's so pitiful, there was a typo, it's so cool!

By the way, the so-called dark charm nail polish is just some very common black nail polish...

"I say, you are a grown man, why are you putting this on?"

Shinjima Makoto didn't like such fancy things in the first place, and frowned.

"Me? I don't really like it. I just do my duty. It's not bad to make money."

Jiang Tianwei raised her fingers to admire her nails and turned her head to the air beside her. Although Niijima couldn't see her, she knew that Fang Zexia was there.

Now, as a veteran sufferer of phobia, she didn't know whether to be thankful that she couldn't see Fang Zexia or to be panicked that she couldn't see Fang Zexia.

In the deserted place, a sentence that was very inconsistent with modern physics came over: "It looks good! Jiang Jiang, don't you consider putting diamonds in your nails?"

"Wait until I have money."

Jiang Tianwei responded casually.

Seeing this sloppy look, Shinjima was so angry that he felt a mixture of sour, sweet and salty feelings mixed together.

"Now that everything has been decided, let's go!"

Shinjima said.

Jiang Tianwei was stunned: "Now?"

"It's now!"

"Um, I, I'm fine."

Jiang Tianwei didn't quite understand why she looked unhappy today. She thought it was because of the pressure from the student council president. Thinking about it carefully, before she joined the Phantom Thieves, she also had a similar plot point where she didn't like anyone.

He jumped up from the sofa and was about to go out with Shinjima, but suddenly, Shinjima frowned and said, "You're going out like this? Without any disguise?"

As if deliberately tempting her to say this, Jiang Tianwei showed a happy and flamboyant smile: "Of course not! Come on, I'll show you later!"

Chapter 692: It turns out that you are the legendary bad guy!

I wonder if you have this question: some demons and evil spirits have the ability to transform. Since they can transform into anything at will, what is the true self and what is the incarnation?

Jiang Tianwei's research on himself has reached this philosophical stage.

Since I can now fuse so many demons, can I still be considered a human being? What is my origin? - If you say that I am a scumbag, stand up and I will definitely beat you to death!

As for why Jiang Tianwei suddenly started to study this thing... Mainly because he considered that in a last resort... If he had to flee overseas to avoid being pursued by a murderer, and was forced into a desperate situation by some confidante with sky-high combat power, he might be able to use this stunt to escape by chance...

In short, Fang Ze Xia once had this feeling about demon abilities: this kind of thing cannot be simply regarded as a skill, but should be regarded as [instinct]. Just like breathing, even if everyone is concentrating on doing something, they will still breathe instinctively when they are not aware of it.

The same goes for the devil's abilities. When this ability is acquired after fusion, it means that it has become an instinct.

Well, there is another problem here...that is, after Jiang Tianwei has merged with many demons, there will often be some changes in his appearance.

The most obvious thing is the knight's armor from that time and the spear he has always used as a weapon.

Since the spear and armor can be put on and taken off according to one's will, the devil's incarnation form can of course also change according to Jiang Tianwei's will.

Before he realized this, Jiang Tianwei [unconsciously] believed that the human face he saw in the mirror was his true self.

But now that he realizes that he is a super creature similar to Ditto, he suddenly unlocked the ability to transform.

Of course, considering the appearance of the demons he had fused with, this skill was actually a useless skill.

But it’s not completely useless… Since turning into a complete demon is too weird, why don’t you just turn into a part of it?

For example, Jiang Tianwei now has soft and flowing blond hair and a very international handsome face that looks like he has European blood. The former comes from the golden hair of the hero Siegfried, and the latter comes from the handsome face of Cu Chulainn.

As for his clothes, it was a white long windbreaker snatched from a vampire hunter. After changing into this outfit, he looked like a CG character from a game. It looked like cosplay, and only a few people could recognize that he was Jiang Tianwei.

When Shinjima saw this, he was stunned.

He has this special ability! This is the first time I've seen it!

This is so cool! You can become whatever you want...

However, it seems that he can only transform into the demon he has merged with, otherwise, when he sees an acquaintance in the future, he will worry whether it is him who has transformed into him.

So, after discovering Jiang Tianwei's unique "face-changing" trick, Shinjima's attitude was - even more annoyed!

First of all, with this change of outfit, I didn’t attract any attention when I went to Ikebukuro - bullshit!

This kind of super high-end appearance, which is a combination of the personal characteristics of legendary characters, is really attractive!

Along the way, Shinjima Makoto kept his head down, repeating to himself, "I don't know him," for fear that he would be photographed and posted online.

Moreover, along the way, there were even scouts who sent him invitations, hoping that he could join an entertainment agency... but Jiang Tianwei rejected them all on the grounds that he already had a partner.

The high rate of turning heads due to this good looks can be ignored.

But the second thing that really upset Niijima was...

While I was trying to keep my head down so that others would not notice that I was traveling with such a handsome guy, a red-haired girl was standing next to him. Although the two of them did not do anything intimate - such as linking arms or holding hands, the intimate position and the way they chatted from time to time made it clear on their faces that "I am his girlfriend".

Thanks to the red-haired woman, only talent scouts came to talk to him along the way.

But Shinjima couldn't be happy at all, because this woman didn't exist in her plan.

Sumire Yoshizawa.

Because of Fang Ze Xia's secret report, the little girl almost immediately said: Senior wants to invite me to the planetarium?! Go away!

Sometimes, war is just so cruel. Before Shin Niijima realized that the war had already begun, he was already regarded as a thorn in the eye by Kasumi Yoshizawa.

There is a saying that goes "Love the house and love the dog", and the same is true in reverse. After seeing the "methods" of Senior Investigator Niijima Sae (which was actually a coincidence and misunderstanding), Yoshizawa Kasumi now does not trust any woman with the surname Niijima.

Since I am a ghost, I can only use my special trick and summon my sister to deal with it!

Yoshizawa Sumire didn't realize at all that she was called over to be a third wheel.

She really couldn't resist such a romantic and beautiful place.

Similar feeling, like an aquarium.

However, Sumire Yoshizawa has a love-fear relationship with aquariums. While she likes the cute aquatic animals, she is also afraid of cute things like whether the glass will break or the water inside will suddenly flood over.

The planetarium is much better. At least she won't have to sit around worrying about whether the sky will fall.

Just like that, the three people and one ghost walked towards the Ikebukuro Astronomical Museum with their own thoughts.

Many places in Japan have fixed labels. For example, when people mention Akihabara, they think of maids or otakus. When people mention Roppongi, they think of all kinds of bars and beautiful ladies who drink with you. When people mention Ikebukuro, they think of red lights... cough cough cough, anyway, it's not the planetarium.

Even if you say that Ikebukuro's specialty is the Dullahan and his Amazing Records, it's more appropriate than the planetarium...

Because Jiang Tianwei changed his appearance, he didn't have to worry about being recognized as the Phantom Thief Honto, so he could now walk in with Yoshizawa Sumire in a swagger.

Shinjima Shinjima distanced himself from the two of them a little, and the first thing he did after entering the planetarium was to look for other members of the student union.

This planetarium focuses on the atmosphere.

The overall look is a bit like a movie theater, with darkness everywhere. Through various high-tech means, a variety of handsome astronomical views are created here.

In such a dim lighting environment, Shin Niijima looked around several times but couldn't find her companions. She was getting anxious when suddenly, her sharp eyes caught a sneaky figure.

After all, he is the student union president!

Shinjima's mind raced, and he immediately thought: Why do we have to worry about thieves? Well, as the student council president, if I hear that a student is in danger, I can come and beat this guy myself, isn't it the same? After all, I have practiced Aikido, so it is not a problem to deal with a few real-life thieves!

As long as I catch this guy in advance, those student union comrades who want to use this incident to lure Jiang Tianwei out will have no way to do it, right?

The more Shinjima thought about it, the more reliable it seemed. So, he quickly stepped forward, and with lightning speed, he grabbed the opponent's hand. This is the basis of self-defense. When you have the advantage of attacking first, you should try to control the opponent's hand as much as possible, so that you can block the opponent's choice of using weapons and greatly improve your safety factor.

Shin Shinjima had a serious personality to begin with, and was naturally meticulous in learning Aikido. After making some achievements, he grabbed the opponent's hand and immediately used his skills. The opponent felt a strange force coming from his wrist, and felt numb. In order to relieve the pain in his arm, he instinctively knelt down following the opponent's force!

“Ah, it hurts, it hurts… You, what are you doing—Hey? President?!”

"Let me catch you, weirdo! Confess and I'll give you leniency - Mishima-san?!"
