Persona: Devil Summoner

"This kind of trick is, of course, just a small magical power of mine. It is not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

Jiang Tianwei laughed as he spoke, trying to imitate the Taoist priests he had in his mind. However, he had never been a Taoist priest, nor had he studied Taoism. He had learned all his skills from video games. Recent horror puzzle games (made in China) always like to test Feng Shui and Taoism, and players jokingly call them Taoist simulators.

As the saying goes, if you read 300 Tang poems, you will be able to recite them even if you cannot write poems. He has now become a Taoist priest of the second generation, playing games. This mysterious look - it does not feel mysterious at all, on the contrary, it makes people feel funny. The difference between him and the Joker is just a makeup artist and a Batman.

Originally, Jiang Tianwei wanted to use his ugly appearance to mock the big sister opposite him, who had a pretty good face and could make a living with her face, but chose to rely on the crystal ball... However, unexpectedly...

"So you're in the same business as me? No wonder, you're amazing... You actually saw through what I was trying to say..."

Surprisingly... this blonde sister actually believed it with a serious look on her face... and there was even some admiration in her eyes...

(No way, this, this big sister, could it be that she really thinks she is a fortune teller, and has some special abilities? An evolution of chuunibyou?)

As Jiang Tianwei was thinking this, he heard the girl in front of him continue to speak rapidly: "Well, I see that you are haunted by ghosts. Could it be that you are not haunted by a wandering ghost, but that this is the shikigami you feed?"

"God formula?"

This term, which was particularly Japanese-styled, made Jiang Tianwei laugh and cry. He looked at Fang Zexia beside him and suddenly noticed that this little ghost girl seemed to have not spoken to him much in the past few days.

He looked at the other person, and the little girl snorted in an attempt to hide her feelings. She turned her head in the air, leaving Jiang Tianwei with a shadow of mature brown hair.

(Is she angry with me? Is she mad at me? Wait, when did I offend her?).

Jiang Tianwei accidentally angered Fang Zexia without even noticing it. The current situation was very much like that of a man and woman in love. The woman suddenly said: Guess why I am unhappy.

Basically, this kind of problem will quickly cool down an originally passionate relationship, and in the end the two people will dislike each other, which will directly lead to a breakup.

He suddenly noticed that there was a pair of eyes in front of him staring at him eagerly, and he felt embarrassed. He could only cough dryly and pretend to be mysterious: "Of course, this is the Shikigami that I am proud of, and it is very powerful."

"Indeed, indeed... I have been in Shinjuku for a long time, but this is the first time I have seen a master with real magical powers who travels around with his shikigami! Master, please be sure to teach me some magical powers!"

Jiang Tianwei originally just wanted to pretend to be a master and then run away, but he didn't expect this little girl to be so persistent and insisted on showing him off. Jiang Tianwei originally liked to mock those fake masters on the Internet, but he didn't expect that today he would become a fake master...

But the question is, where does he get his magical powers? How can he show them to the other party?

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he remembered how Bai Zhongzhidou saw through his experience on the rooftop...

"Then I will also perform a simple divination."

Jiang Tianwei pretended to count with his fingers, muttering something, but his eyes kept looking at the fortune-telling booth in front of him...

"You came here about a year ago..."

Jiang Tianwei saw the label on the corner of the tablecloth on her desk that had not been torn off, and it clearly showed last year's date. Considering that fortune-telling is not a job that consumes a lot of tablecloth, it is estimated that this tablecloth has been used since it was bought.

"As for where you were before...it must have been in the countryside."

Why do you say that? Although it is very rude to say this, the girl in front of me is so simple-minded and lacks common sense. It is hard to believe that she is from the city. She must be from the countryside.

Why does Jiang Tianwei think she is not from Tokyo? It's simple. Although Japan is pitifully small compared to China, it has developed several dialects. Obviously, this girl always speaks in a dialect.

This is just like a person from Tianjin, no matter how well he speaks Mandarin, some pronunciations cannot change the flavor of Tianjin dialect.

"Too, too amazing! You're right about everything! You don't even need any equipment, you can calculate to this level just by counting with your fingers?! This is the difference in skills... I've benefited a lot!"

The older sister in front of him expressed her approval so enthusiastically that Jiang Tianwei felt embarrassed. He felt uneasy and restless. His conscience was aching for deceiving such an innocent girl!

"My name is Chihaya Mifune! Master! Please be my teacher and teach me your divination skills!"

"Uh, ahem, let's talk about it next time. Let's talk about it next time."

"Well, I predicted that you would encounter a bloody disaster in the distant future. Could it be that this is a test specially arranged for me by you?"

"Ahaha, that's natural, that's natural... God, the secret of heaven cannot be revealed, ahem, I... I'll take my leave first..."

Jiang Tianwei originally came over to tease a charlatan when he saw him on the street, but as he was talking, he felt like he had become a charlatan. It is said that a young dragon slayer eventually becomes a dragon, but this routine of a fake fighter also becoming a charlatan is not cool at all, not exciting at all! Forget it! He blushed and was embarrassed to leave...

However, just after he took a step, he turned around and saw Sakamoto Ryuji and Amamiya Ren. The two of them were standing on his left and right, like two Vajra Buddha statues.

"Um... hello, you guys..."

"Of course we are fine. You are really hard to find, and you are hiding here - Oh? Fortune-telling? Big sister, how much does it cost? Can you tell me my fortune too?"

This guy Long Si had no idea about the atmosphere and completely ignored Jiang Tianwei's mood of leaving. Instead, he talked and laughed and pulled everyone to Chihaya's fortune-telling booth.

As soon as Ryuji sat down, Mifune Chihaya secretly glanced at Jiang Tianwei, and felt strange: (From the looks of them, they should be friends with the teacher, right? Why don’t they go to the teacher for divination but come to me? Could it be that, they say that real people don’t show their true colors, could it be that the teacher is the kind of hidden real person? No, then why did he show himself... The only reasonable explanation is...)

Chihaya Mifune came to a conclusion in her mind, and she puffed out her chest with pride, and raised her nose high: (I know! The teacher must be trying to test me on purpose to see if I have the talent! Yeah, well, just watch me!)

As Mifune Chihaya spoke, she wiped her hands over the crystal ball, and the crystal clear ball suddenly emitted a faint and soft light... Mifune Chihaya took advantage of this light, picked up a deck of tarot cards, and cut a few cards with skillful and nimble movements, making the tarot cards appear in an orderly array on the dark tablecloth as if by magic.

"Well, sir, according to divination, you will soon face a romantic disaster."

"Peach Blossom Tribulation?"

When Long Si heard this, he was happy. You know, let alone having a romantic relationship, the only girl who was willing to look at him was Gao Juan Xing, his ill-fated partner. What, could it be that his luck was about to change? !

"I say, what kind of peach blossom it is, can you guess it? Is it a beautiful girl? Or a beautiful big sister? Or..."

Before Long Si finished speaking, he felt someone pat his shoulder hard...

Long Si turned around in surprise: "My romantic luck has arrived?! So soon?"

The result is that there are two burly men behind, with exaggerated female makeup on their faces... Has anyone seen Stephen Chow's movies? Just think of the "Ruhua" in the movie.

"Oh, what a cute child!"

"Yes, yes, there are still some muscles..."

"Besides, they said we were lucky in love. What a way of talking~"

"Wandering in the streets of Shinjuku, be careful of being eaten by bad men~Ah~~"

The two men were obviously from "that side". They clamped Long Si on the left and right, making him unable to move: "W-what?! Help!"

Jiang Tianwei and Amamiya Lian looked at each other... They both saw the panic in each other's eyes. If it was a demon in the mind or a thug in reality, they would definitely go all out. But... if they were facing a man from "the other world", they should just forget it...

As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall. These two people are obviously gentlemen... So the two of them took several steps back in sync and ran away...

This is the danger of Shinjuku at night... It's dangerous for girls to come here alone, and the same goes for boys.

So, boys must protect themselves when they are outside!

Chapter 166 New Male Sister

There is a Chinese saying that goes, "Just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den," which is used to express a person's tragic life of one ups and downs after another.

Except for crosstalk performers who might be able to write a joke for the Spring Festival Gala after falling into a tiger's den, most of the people who encounter this situation are doomed.

Why do I suddenly have this idea?

That's because the hotel that the reporter and Miss Otaku arranged to stay at is called "New Nan Dajie". Whether Chinese or Japanese, when naming a store, most people like to summarize part of the store in the name. For example, if it's Wang Ji Donkey Meat Hotpot, the owner's surname should be Wang, and if it's Yoshinoya Gyudon, it should be a beef rice bowl.

So, as the name suggests, there should be a big sister in this store, probably the boss lady, which is easy to understand. But how to explain this new man, Jiang Tianwei racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.

Two old men stood at the door of the store, and the pink welcoming lights outlined the curves of the women's bodies. No matter how you looked at it, it looked like a store that provided services other than drinks.

(Really, do you really want to go in?).

This is the common question lingering in the minds of the two at this time.

After thinking it over, Amamiya Ren slowly reached out her hand towards the door handle...

"Are you really going in? Then, Captain, I wish you good luck in fighting..."

Before Jiang Tianwei could even finish his attempt to back out, Amamiya Lian grabbed his wrist and said, "Let's go together."

"No, I always feel like I'm going to lose something after I go in..."

"Don't say that, we are friends, right?"

“Gu… don’t say that… how can I refuse this…”

"As friends, we should stand together through thick and thin, and share weal and woe. There's a Chinese saying that goes 'Only death can separate us'!"

"First of all, this sentence is not a traditional Chinese saying. Secondly, it cannot be used to describe the two of us!"

While Jiang Tianwei was complaining, he heard a loud noise and the shop door opened automatically.

This kind of store would definitely not have automatic doors installed, so there was only one possibility... that was someone coming out of the store.

I saw a woman wearing a black T-shirt on the upper body, jeans on the lower body, a pair of sunglasses on her forehead, and a camera hanging on her chest pushed open the door.

Just like what Amamiya Ren described before, she is a tall woman. Although I want to praise her figure, to be honest, she is not the kind of beauty that you will notice at first sight. Although she is not fat, you can notice the fat on her belly and thighs at a glance. She doesn't pay much attention to the overall shape. The principle of matching clothes is only to make them comfortable and the size of her hair is only to make sure it does not affect the vision. In short, she never wastes time on meaningless things.

This capable temperament of a professional was completely ruined by her drunken face at this moment!

At this moment, her face was flushed, her eyes were hazy, she smelled strongly of alcohol, and there was even beer foam hanging from the corners of her mouth. No matter how you looked at it, she did not look capable.

"Hey - why is it so noisy? What are they doing at the door? Are they performing manzai?"

She spoke in a drunk's intermittent voice, with high and low tones. Jiang Tianwei wanted to leave when he smelled the alcohol, but his hand was still tightly held by Yu Gonglian. Behind Yu Gonglian's thick glasses, it was clearly written that she was determined to "die together".

"Hello, we contacted you on the phone..."

"Ah! It's you, come in and sit down~ Really, I didn't recognize you at first sight without your school uniform - Lala-chan~ Help me open the private room inside~ and bring two more cups~"

When reporter Da Zhai Yizi heard that it was the informant he had contacted before, he immediately smiled and shouted into the house.

Seeing the current situation, Jiang Tianwei sighed and decided to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman...

Thinking about it carefully, when Long Si and the others were asking for maid service, wasn't it me who risked my life to accompany them? So what if I fought again for the leader today?

It’s just that other people always say, “Captain! Let me lead my brothers to charge again!” Here it’s the captain leading his brothers to charge... It sounds a lot more impressive, but the more I think about it, the more it feels like a scam.

After entering the bar, Jiang Tianwei finally understood why this shop was called New Male Sister... It turned out that he had been punctuating the sentence wrong... This shop was not called New Male Sister, but New Male Sister! The lady boss and bartender was nicknamed Lala Jiang... a male sister.

He was wearing a female kimono, tall and chubby, looking like a Buddha standing up, but his face was painted with eye shadow, lipstick, and his hair was dyed purple. Moreover, it should be noted that he was a male sister, not a transvestite. Transvestites basically look feminine, at least they put on makeup to look feminine, but male sisters don't mind showing their masculine looks...

To use a very apt metaphor, it is just like the hidden female gangster family members in those gangster movies, exuding a murderous aura from head to toe.

"I say, you know that it is illegal to induce minors, right?"

Lalajiang asked with a cold face.

"Oh, of course I know. I was the only one who drank the wine. Just give these two some cold water."

It was obvious that Daizhai Yizi had been drinking here for a while. She was drunk and her consciousness was hazy. She casually stretched out her arms and hooked two male high school students on the left and right. She really didn't look like a serious adult.

Lalajiang sighed and said, "The innermost private room. Remember to abide by the Law on the Protection of Minors."

"What? I don't look like that kind of idiot adult~"

Da Zhai Yizi laughed and almost forced the two of them to come to the innermost private room.

Jiang Tianwei's first reaction was to look at the four corners of the room. There were no obvious surveillance cameras. It was obvious that this was a private room designed to highlight its privacy.

Three large sofas surrounded a square table, which looked a bit like a KTV room. Da Zhai Yizi moved to the innermost part carelessly and occupied a sofa by himself, with his whole body sunk into the sofa in a big letter shape.

Yu Gong Lian and Jiang Tianwei sat on one side, and the other two sat opposite each other.

Lalajiang quickly served two glasses of water and a bottle of wine, and did not forget to close the door before leaving. With the sound of the door closing, the jazz music that was originally quite clear in the corridor could no longer be heard. It can be seen that the sound insulation performance of this room is very good.

"Okay, tell me~".

As Da Zhai Yizi spoke, he opened the chilled wine. The condensed water droplets on the bottle left a circle on the table.

"What kind of information do you want from me?"

When Amamiya Ren heard that there was a chance, she quickly told him what she wanted to know, which was the leader of the extortion criminal group that had been popular in Shibuya recently.

Da Zhai Yizi was drinking while listening. After listening, she did not forget to swallow the alcohol in her mouth, and then she said slowly: "I do know something. As for the name of the leader, I have a few guesses...but..."

As she was speaking, she suddenly changed the subject and added: "What benefit can people get from providing you with information?"

Jiang Tianwei was very familiar with this way of speaking. Wasn't he tricked by Bai Zhongzhidou with this kind of words before? Looking back, he was already deeply trapped in her intelligence trap, and everything about him was clearly known by her.

Compared to Bai Zhongzhidou, Da Zhai Yizi's words are much more honest...

"Do you need our help with anything? Or do you want to trade money?"

Amamiya Ren asked in confusion.

Upon hearing this, Da Zhai Yizi laughed out loud: "How much money can you kids have? If I ask you for money, what's the difference between that and blackmail? Don't worry, the exchange terms are not difficult - I remember that you are Xiu Jin, right? So, do you know anyone related to that incident?"

The incident that Ooya Kazuko was talking about was, of course, the incident of Kamoshida's repentance.

Although the disturbance of the Kamoshida incident has gradually subsided, and although he did many things that angered the heavens and the people, for most ordinary people, he did not violate them, their daughters or their wives, so what does it have to do with them? They condemned, rebuked, rebuked, and ridiculed, and then went back to doing what they were supposed to do.

What made this incident, which should have been settled, regain news value was the Madarame change of heart incident...

It can be said that it was the Phantom Thieves who made this matter worth discussing again...
