Persona: Devil Summoner

“Thanks to everyone, I now have a chance to face my inner self.”

While expressing his gratitude, Kitagawa Yusuke unceremoniously ordered a lot of desserts, ranging from soups to cookies and cakes.

"I say, aren't you being too rude?!"

Ryuji looked at the pile of desserts in front of Yusuke and couldn't help but complain. The last time he saw so many desserts was when An was in the buffet restaurant to celebrate the end of the Kamoshida incident.

Yusuke was silent for a moment and said, "I just think that desserts can effectively relieve fatigue."

Jiang Tianwei smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm not spending cash anyway. I have to use up all the meal coupons at once. I'm not sure when I'll come here next time."

"Then why not just give it to me~".

Ms. Xing, who loves sweets, suddenly became interested.

The atmosphere was lively and bustling, as if the previous battle in the palace had never happened.

"By the way, Kitagawa-san, is it okay for you to run away with us like this?"

Gao Juanxing is a girl after all. Her mind is more delicate than men and she noticed the key point immediately.

Kitagawa Yusuke glanced at his phone and said coldly, "It seems that Madarame thinks that I went after Jiang. He said that as long as I go back, he can forgive me for the past."

Kitagawa Yusuke's cold attitude made people clearly feel his disappointment in Madarame. Referring to Madarame's greed for money in the palace before, Kitagawa snorted coldly and added: "It's a boring delaying tactic. He simply doesn't want to cause trouble during the solo exhibition. After all, if there is trouble at this time, he will suffer the loss."

This is true.

Although Madarame's view on money is very distorted, we have to admit that there is still some truth in what he said. It's like Hitler was a warmongerer, but he advocated that smoking is harmful to health, which is not wrong after all.

Madarame once said that art is all about money. If you want to hold an art exhibition, you have to rent a venue, right? You have to deal with the decoration, right? You have to pay for the electricity, right? You can't do the painting by yourself, right? You have to spend money to hire workers, right? You also have to hire security guards to maintain order at the venue, right?

It is true that art costs money.

As an avid money lover like Madarame, he would definitely not be happy to see a bunch of negative news emerge in the Madarame exhibition that he spent a lot of money on. This would be a waste of time.

"So, our chance will end when the Madarame exhibition ends?"

Yu Gong Lian made a summary, and Jiang Tianwei sneered: "I can't wait, I can't wait to get him right away."

"Ah, well, there's no need to be so anxious..."

Morgana got out of the backpack and said, "They say you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Be careful not to be overwhelmed by fatigue."

"really.".

Jiang Tianwei said something perfunctorily. Knowing what everyone in the Phantom Thieves thought, Jiang Tianwei didn't mean to insist. He turned around and asked Yusuke: "So, Yusuke, are you going back to Madarame?"

"..."

Kitagawa Yusuke didn't say anything, but from the hostility in the corners of his eyes and the bulging masseter muscles that could be clearly seen through his face, it was obvious that he didn't want to go back to the Madarame family.

Even if it is objectively believed that Madarame would not attack him before the Madarame exhibition ended, his lofty character as an artist would not allow him to return to that dirty den of desire.

"Well, do you want to stay at my house today? My house is quite big."

Jiang Tianwei invited, Yu Gong Lian nodded and also said, "His house is indeed quite big."

"Won't it disturb my uncle and aunt?"

"Don't worry, I live alone.".

As soon as Jiang Tianwei finished speaking, he felt that the topic had become strange...

Kitagawa Yusuke was overjoyed when he heard this, and grabbed Jiang Tianwei's hands with both hands: "That's great! Jiang! I'd be happy to do that - in that case, please let me draw for you!"

"!!! I won't take it off!"

"Why? Please sacrifice yourself for art!"

"I don't want to! You're an artist and I'm not!"

"This is to correct the Japanese mentality!"

“But I’m Chinese!”

Damn it! Jiang Tianwei just remembered that Kitagawa Yusuke had been eyeing him! And he actually invited him to his house? ! This is truly inviting thieves to come to his house!!!

"Then I won't bother you guys." I have modeling work tonight, so I'll be leaving first~".

When Gao Juanxing saw the strange atmosphere, she quickly slipped away under the pretext of work.

Humans all have a herd mentality. If Takamaki An runs away, then of course others won't stay for long.

"Come on! Artwork of the future of Japan! Hahahahahaha!"

Long Si obviously had no professional training and laughed in a very unkind way.

Amamiya Ren also patted Jiang Tianwei on the shoulder and said, "Come on. "Modern David."

"Wait a minute! You heartless guys! Are you just going to leave me like this?! Aren't we brothers?! Don't leave me alone!!!"

Chapter 107: One Night with the Wolf

"Well, it's a very stylish home."

Kitagawa Yusuke extended the thumb and index finger of each hand to form a view frame.

Because he left in a hurry, Yusuke didn't bring any luggage, no change of clothes or personal belongings. When people describe moving as easy, they often say "just move in with your luggage", but this time Yusuke didn't even have a bag, it was so relaxing.

Jiang Tianwei is now very glad that he asked Mr. Kawakami to come and help with cleaning not long ago. He is also very grateful to Fang Zexia for forcing him to clean the house before. Now that he has the opportunity to suddenly invite someone to his house, he can just bring the person in without doing anything.

After all, Jiang Tianwei's house is a place for one person to live, so he can't afford a second set of bedding, and he doesn't usually think about entertaining guests, so Yusuke has to use Jiang Tianwei's things for the time being.

Although I really want to go downstairs and buy him a set, first of all, Yusuke can't live in my house for a long time. Secondly, Yusuke came out in a hurry this time and didn't bring his wallet...

Jiang Tianwei opened the closet and found some of his own clothes for Yusuke. Only then did he realize that Yusuke was tall, even taller than him, and his own clothes looked a little short for him.

Kitagawa Yusuke curiously looked at his wardrobe from behind, and then his disappointment was clearly visible.

"Why are there no Chinese clothes?".

"What misunderstanding do you have about China? You don't think we are still wearing long gowns and pigtails, do you?"

"That's not true, but you don't even have a Zhongshan suit, a Tang suit, or a cheongsam?"

Jiang Tianwei and Kitagawa Yusuke had a not-so-intense debate, and Kitagawa Yusuke suddenly asked, "Why are you suddenly looking for clothes for me? If it's just for one or two days, I'll just wear this..."

"Of course I'll take you to take a bath first..."

Jiang Tianwei pointed to the bathroom.

Japanese people love bathing very much, and almost every family has a bathtub for bathing, but Jiang Tianwei doesn't have such sentiment, so there is no bathtub in the house he lives in, just an ordinary shower head. It's as simple as it can be.

Kitagawa Yusuke looked him up and down and nodded vigorously: "The living conditions are not bad."

"Is that good? It shows that you were abused by Madarame before."

"I can't argue with that."

Yusuke said as he walked in, and then the sound of a shower could be heard from behind the door.

Jiang Tianwei took this opportunity to boil some hot water and make some instant noodles.

"How virtuous of you."

Fang Zexia flew to Jiang Tianwei with a sly smile and teased him.

"I learned it from someone."

The person Jiang Tianwei mentioned was now wearing a sapphire blue dress, flying in the air, lingering around him and teasing him.

"Hmm, so in someone's heart, this beauty is very virtuous?"

"Someone never said that someone was a beauty..."

The two of them started talking in circles again.

Fang Zexia sat in mid-air on Jiang Tianwei's shoulders, but unfortunately ghosts have no weight, and Jiang Tianwei could not feel the weight of this sweetness at all.

"Tonight...you will take action too, right?"

Although Fang Zexia used a question, her smile was full of certainty.

Having lived together as a ghost for so long, she knew Jiang Tianwei's character very well.

"Well, at least it would be good to help them confirm the passage."

Jiang Tianwei said.

"Just let it be."

Fang Zexia didn't seem to believe it. Jiang Tianwei shrugged, not caring whether she believed it or not... because Jiang Tianwei himself didn't believe it.

He would go to Madarame's palace alone for only one reason... that is, he wanted to continue training himself. Since there was a clear target and an unknown enemy, the more power the better in order to deal with the unknown murderer.

There is also the demon war... Although the chief monk admitted defeat on his own initiative this time, will the next demon be so easy to talk to?

When Kitagawa Yusuke came out of the shower, the first question was how to allocate beds. A single apartment would never give you two beds, so you had to decide who would sleep on the floor... Jiang Tianwei didn't have a sofa at home, so it became the ultimate choice between two...

Although Kitagawa Yusuke said: Isn't it enough to just sleep in the bed together?

But Jiang Tianwei firmly refused considering his own purity.

In the end, Jiang Tianwei, thinking of not treating the guest unfairly, resolutely let Yusuke sleep on the bed.

"I didn't expect this bed to be so soft..."

Kitagawa Yusuke's thoughts made Jiang Tianwei roll his eyes: "How bad were your living conditions before!"

Jiang Tianwei's bed only had a mattress, but he could still feel the hardness of the wooden plank when he slept on it, which was not very comfortable. Even so, it was much better than the bedroom of Madarame that was built to show off to outsiders.

Kitagawa Yusuke was probably really tired. Not long after he lay down, he fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Tianwei was lying on the floor, looking at his phone. Japanese people have always had the habit of sleeping on the floor, and tatami is considered the representative bedding of Japan. Unfortunately, Jiang Tianwei could not accept this down-to-earth sleeping style. Now he was lying on the floor, and he felt something was wrong with his whole body.

Relying on the light of his mobile phone, he stayed up until late at night. Making sure that the surroundings were quiet, Jiang Tianwei then sneakily got up, put on his clothes, and went out. Just like before, he summoned a demon as a vehicle and went to Madarame's residence.

The palace is the embodiment of the human heart, so naturally, the state of the human heart will also affect the state of the palace. Madarame was so angry before, and he also summoned security personnel, so naturally the palace was extremely alert.

On the other hand, when a person is asleep, their vigilance is naturally much lower than when they are awake. Jiang Tianwei activated the different world navigation and invaded Madarame's dream from the sky.

If you want to steal the twisted desire, you need three things to prepare. First, you need to ensure the location and access to the secret treasure. As a thief, you have to know where the treasure is hidden before you can steal it! Second, you need to publish a notice letter. This feeling of "being targeted" will make them have a strong awareness of their own secret treasure.

As for the third one... naturally it means sufficient strength!

Jiang Tianwei walked along the art gallery, summoning a demon to protect him, along with persona and Fang Zexia.

Thanks to the great abbot's [Troubles are Bodhi], he can now easily understand his mental and physical conditions. It is said that the most difficult thing for a person to understand is himself. Unexpectedly, Jiang Tianwei now has the ability to observe himself from the perspective of other people, and directly skipped the step of "knowing yourself" which even great philosophers find difficult to do.

After a night of fierce fighting, in the monitoring room of the art museum, Bai Zhongzhidou sat on a chair, switching the screens in the monitoring room at will, tracking Jiang Tianwei's figure.

(Although you don’t mind group action, do you also like to act alone? You have special abilities and your personality is easy to control... Now there is only one last step left, to confirm the relationship between the Phantom Thieves and the disabled.)

Chapter 108 Preview Letter Released

"Jiang Jiang, you're acting alone again!"

The next day, in the secret base, Long Si seriously complained when he heard Jiang Tianwei say that he had figured out the structure of the entire art gallery and found the location of Madarame's secret treasure.

"Well, this is what they call the more capable you are, the more work you should do. I am so capable, I must be a capable person."

Jiang Tianwei made a little joke. Originally, Long Si didn't mean to condemn him. There was more of a joking meaning in this sentence. Using a joke to counter a joke actually complemented each other.

"Since you are so capable, how about I give you the notice letter as well this time?"

Ryuji said half-jokingly.

Jiang Tianwei curled his lips: "I'm not good at this kind of thing! This is a problem of my positioning in the Phantom Thieves Group."

"Positioning problem?".

Ryuji asked, not being able to understand at once.

"Look, just like in the game, the characters have their own division of labor, right? There are warriors responsible for physical output, mages responsible for magic damage, and priests responsible for healing, right? Look, the positions of our Phantom Thieves are..."

Jiang Tianwei said, pointing at Amamiya Lian: "We have an omnipotent leader."

Then, he pointed at Takamaki An and said, "Taka-san who is good at fire magic."
