Persona: Devil Summoner

When she raised her head, she glanced around at the people around her and nodded: "Are these the members of the Phantom Thieves? Please give us your guidance."

Yoshizawa Sumire said seriously.

“!”.

It had clearly begun the transition from spring to summer, and it could even be said to be early summer. The bright sunlight was emitting a warm afterglow, but Sumire Yoshizawa's words still made everyone in the Phantom Thieves feel like they were falling into an ice cellar.

Long Si looked at Jiang Tianwei in astonishment. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear: "What's the matter, buddy? Did you also expose yourself during the chat?"

This look of treating people as fools made Jiang Tianwei so angry that he punched him lightly on the shoulder: "Don't confuse me with you."

So, Jiang Tianwei told her how he went to the Great Universe Burger, how he was involved in the sudden palace, and how Fang Ze Jin awakened. Of course, he omitted the trivial matters such as the sister battle that were not suitable for outsiders to talk about.

After hearing these words, Long Si was stunned: "Is there such a coincidence?!"

Yoshizawa Sumire replied to him seriously: "Yes, it is such a coincidence, Ryuji-senpai."

This voice, a mixture of girlish shyness and the seriousness of a society person, made Ryuji's bones go soft. Although he was a veteran of the Phantom Thieves, he was not as high-ranking as the leader Amamiya Ren, not as influential as the model Takamaki An, not as powerful as Jiang Tianwei, and not as knowledgeable as Morgana...

To be honest, although Ryuji has never been jealous of the big guys, he sometimes thinks: If I could be more popular in the Phantom Thieves...

Unexpectedly, a beautiful schoolgirl came today! Ah, this is a beautiful schoolgirl!

"Okay! I think there's no problem with that! From now on, let Senior Ryuji protect you! Hahahahaha!"

Long Si fell instantly.

Others did not raise any objections. The only rule of the Phantom Thieves was that all members had to agree on the goal of changing their hearts, but there was no mention of all members having to agree on joining the group. No one had even thought carefully about whether to draft a Phantom Thieves membership charter or a formal member handbook. This was something that people who were too young and lacked social experience could not think of.

Generally speaking, such loose organizations will only reflect on their behavior after their members exploit loopholes in the rules several times.

"By the way, I've also done the induction training, and she knows most of the things about the other world."

Jiang Tianwei added, then took out his cell phone.

Next comes the exciting keyword guessing session.

It was a group of young people who gathered together to talk about thieves, but surprisingly, it did not cause any sensation. Although the streets of Shibuya were crowded, few people had the leisure to stop and listen to other people's conversations. Everyone was only concerned with their own affairs, which was probably the unique indifference of capitalist cities.

"By the way, has that strange app appeared on your phone?"

Jiang Tianwei suddenly became curious and asked Fang Zejin. Fang Zejin smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, to be honest, senior, my cell phone has been in a bad condition recently. It's sometimes good and sometimes not... I often can't turn it on..."

"oh.".

Jiang Tianwei responded without thinking too much, as he was just chatting casually. He opened the navigation of the other world and entered Jincheng's name: "Then, we have to guess what Jincheng thinks a certain place is."

Gao Juan Xing thought for a moment and said, "For example, his home? Does he think of his home as something else?"

Long Si also casually guessed: "Maybe it's the company? This scumbag is probably the kind of guy who bullies others in the company!"

"Since his name is Jincheng, maybe he has something to do with money? For example, a safe or something." Kitagawa Yusuke speculated.

The three people expressed their speculations one after another, but the APP only gave wrong responses.

Now, Jiang Tianwei experienced firsthand what Bai Zhongzhidou had felt not long ago: without any information at all, he had to exhaustively list the correct answer. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack...

Under the scorching sun, everyone was playing idiom chain games in a small garden at the corner of the street, saying words one by one... their mouths were dry and they couldn't think of any new words. The keywords everyone said ranged from companies to buildings to shops.

Director Long sighed, kicked a pedestal in the bushes, and complained: "Alas, when will this needle in the haystack end! Damn Jincheng, how many places does he think he can guess in the whole [Shibuya]..."

Before Long Si finished speaking, he heard the APP remind him: "The key location has been determined!"

"Hey!? What did I say?!"

Ryuji himself was still confused before he understood what was happening. Kitagawa Yusuke was indeed an artist. After hearing the conversation just now, he had already guessed, "So that's what happened... That guy's twisted location is [the whole Shibuya]..."

"!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt a chill all over their body. No matter how powerful the enemies of the Phantom Thieves were before, they could only control a school or a studio... Unexpectedly, the people this time actually regarded the entire Shibuya street as their own twisted place... They were both villains, but the degree of their evil deeds was completely different...

"So, what we need to do next is to analyze what this bad guy named Jincheng thinks Shibuya is?"

Sumire Yoshizawa tried to summarize, clenched her little fists and made a cute gesture of encouragement.

Morgana also popped his head out of the backpack and said, "That's it. What an evil guy..."

"Yes, that's right, Senior Maomao!"

Yoshizawa Sumire responded seriously. Jiang Tianwei curled his lips inwardly and thought: (You are the first person who did not complain about Morgana being a cat but being able to talk.).

"Ha! I am not a cat! Remember this well, newbie!"

"Ah! Sorry! Morgana-senpai!"

Yoshizawa Sumire uttered an "ah" and bowed obediently to the cat in Amamiya Ren's schoolbag...

"What kind of manzai are you guys doing?"

Ghost Fangze Xia has been listening to everyone. In this reality, Xia tries not to talk to everyone - this is not because of anything else, but simply because if these people talk to the air, they may be regarded as mentally abnormal. But now she can't help but complain.

"He's a big villain who specializes in blackmailing teenagers. It must be related to money! Jiang Jiang, isn't your family in the [bank] business? Do you have any clues?"

Before Jiang Tianwei could say anything in response to Fang Zexia's question, the navigation app responded: "Everything is ready. Start navigating..."

"What the hell?! How is this right?!"

Jiang Tianwei was surprised by two things. First, the keywords this time were all guessed by chance. And the second thing...

This guy Jin Cheng actually treats the entire Shibuya street as his own bank! ?

Chapter 172 Walking ATM

Kamoshida's castle is a symbol of desire, so pink is everywhere.

Madarame's art gallery is a symbol of greed, so there is vulgar gold everywhere.

So, what is the world of this Jincheng like?

The answer is... not much has changed.

The scenery in the streets and alleys was still the same as before, except that the sky was gray and the whole world seemed like a cloudy day before a rainstorm, filled with a suffocating and depressing atmosphere, and a sense of crisis that a storm was about to come.

There is an ancient Chinese poem, "[Black clouds press down on the city, the city is about to be destroyed]", which probably best reflects the style of this cognitive space. The thick black clouds in the sky cover the entire street. Occasionally, there is a flash of light in the sky like thunder, and the dim street lights in the streets and alleys can't illuminate the suffocating feeling at all.

Although there was no wind, he could see light pieces of paper rising into the air and disappearing into the sky. Jiang Tianwei reached out and grabbed one and took a look. It was money. To be exact, it was a 10,000 yen note. Shibusawa Eiichi's face looked as if he was crying.

This kind of flying coins can be seen everywhere, and this boundless scene is really shocking.

(So… I understand the elements of Shibuya, but what about the banks?).

Jiang Tianwei thought so.

"Snapped!"

Amamiya Ren clapped his hands to bring everyone back to their senses. Without him saying anything, everyone understood what he meant: it was time to investigate.

There is no one to be seen on this depressing street in Shibuya.

Because... what you can see is an ATM machine.

In recent years, in order to facilitate depositors to deposit and withdraw money, the square machine can be found in almost every bank. However, a machine is a machine after all, no matter how powerful it is, it still needs human assistance. Therefore, you often encounter various problems such as no money, banknotes stuck, card swallowing, money swallowing, etc.

These ATM machines have grown hands and feet, and their displays serve as faces. They are walking aimlessly in the streets and alleys.

"That guy Jincheng, does he think the people on the streets of Shibuya are walking ATM machines?! This bastard..."

Kitagawa Yusuke gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out these words. Perhaps this shameful behavior reminded him of his greedy teacher, and he couldn't help but get angry.

Some ATM humans even fell on the streets, with their screens flickering as if they had no energy. Even if you went up to talk to them, you could only hear mumblings like "I really have no money..." or "Dad, Mom... help me..." Needless to say, this is the final fate of those who were constantly blackmailed by Jincheng.

"That's unforgivable, this bastard!".

Ryuji cursed angrily, his face twisted under the skull mask.

"Well, seniors, I have a question... Didn't Jincheng's distortion treat Shibuya as a bank? What is this so-called banking element?"

Yoshizawa Sumire raised her right hand and asked, dressed in black and wearing a mask, which was a very suspicious look, forming a sharp contrast with her inner personality. When she said this, everyone was stunned and thought: Yes, how can this be a bank?

Compare this to the previous few people. Kamoshida treated the school as a castle, so the palace was a literal castle. Madarame treated the shabby house as an art gallery, so the palace was a literal art gallery. Then, why did Jincheng treat Shibuya as a bank, but he couldn't see any bank elements at all?

"...I think I know..."

Jiang Tianwei reached out and grabbed another banknote, his expression solemn - but because the mask he wore was a plain full-coverage mask, everyone could only see a pair of eyes...

He pointed in the direction where the banknotes were flying. Everyone looked up and saw a huge object similar to a flying saucer slowly patrolling over the city above the magnificent buildings and the surging sea of ​​clouds. Countless banknotes seemed to be attracted and flew to the bottom of the flying saucer.

Anyone seen the movie Independence Day? It's similar to the alien mothership floating over the city...

"What the hell is that?!"

Ryuji sighed from the bottom of his heart.

It is indeed something to be lamented. No matter who it is, seeing such a thing flying in the air, it is impossible not to be surprised.

In the past, no matter how tightly the palace was defended, there was at least a route to enter. Even if there wasn't, at least it was a place you could physically go and explore. Who would have thought that this time the enemy was actually floating in the air? !

"Damn Jincheng, it seems that in his mind, he is in an absolutely safe place, constantly absorbing Shibuya's money... That's why this place that cannot be reached physically appears..."

Morgana knew this world best and gave an explanation that convinced everyone.

"Well, do you want me to go up and take a look at the situation?"

Fang Zexia volunteered. As she spoke, she flapped the big fairy wings behind her. After merging with Pixie, she was the only one among the crowd who had the ability to fly.

"No, let me do it."

Jiang Tianwei interrupted her seemingly casually.

Ever since Fang Ze Xia was injured in the last battle with the demon Hell Angel, he didn't dare to let her go on such a dangerous mission alone. Even if she had to do it, there were always replacements!

Jiang Tianwei opened the app and casually summoned the Demon Angel, asking him to fly up and take a look at the situation...

However, before the angel actually flew onto the UFO, its body turned into a ball of blue flame in mid-air and disappeared.

This is because these demons live in the app on Jiang Tianwei’s mobile phone. Although they can be summoned to act alone, they cannot leave Jiang Tianwei too far away.

Jiang Tianwei was amazed and snapped his fingers. The cool flame motorcycle appeared behind Jiang Tianwei like an obedient horse. He stepped on it and spread out the red armor inherited from Eliger, one of the seventy-two demons of Solomon.

"Isn't this kid getting more and more cool?!"

The more Long Si looked at this metal behemoth, the more he envied it. As long as he was a boy, he would always have an innate liking for mechanical things, especially when "Terminator 2" was popular all over the world. Owning a handsome motorcycle was the dream of many boys!

However, Kitagawa Yusuke's feelings were different from Ryuji's: "Why! Why did you change into this cookie-cutter armor! That Chinese-style costume was so beautiful! Why did you change into this vulgar thing that is everywhere on the street!"

"Is this the point?!"

Gao Juan Xing couldn't help but complain.

Ignoring his teammates' complaints, Jiang Tianwei twisted the handlebars, the engine roared, and Jiang Tianwei's motorcycle rushed straight towards the tall building in front of him...

Before the Phantom Thieves could scream, they saw the flaming motorcycle climbing up the outer wall of the tall building at a right angle of 90 degrees in an anti-physics posture!

This posture is most similar to the Ringwraith Knight in the Lord of the Rings. The ability to ignore terrain and gravity is very similar to the motorcycle that Jiang Tianwei is riding now.

The flaming wheels left charred marks on the reinforced concrete walls of the building. In a moment, they had used the tall building as a springboard and soared into the sky!

"Isn't this too much? What brand of motorcycle is that?"

Ryuji is also a man, so of course he can best understand the charm of this metal vehicle...

However, the next moment... the UFO floating in the air was flashing with a wonderful light, and there seemed to be a loud explosion. Then, countless artillery fire flew out from the outer wall of the castle and flew towards Jiang Tianwei!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 173 The Fall of the Lone Ranger

The roar of gunfire and the pungent smell of gunpowder were like a grand fireworks display. The Japanese yen bills that were continuously swept into the air were affected by the scattered flames, and scarlet traces were ignited in the air, and then turned into powder.

The Japanese love to use cherry blossoms. One of the pursuits of Japanese samurai in the past was a life as brilliant as cherry blossoms. Unexpectedly, today their Japanese yen also shows a short and brilliant life like cherry blossoms (although it is burned). It has to be said that it is really a spiritual inheritance.

“Jiang Jiang?!”.

"senior?!".

The Fangze sisters shouted almost at the same time. Fangze Xia spread her wings and flew into the air, chasing Jiang Tianwei's trace in the air, while Fangze Jin clenched her fists anxiously. Everyone in the Phantom Thieves also followed suit and became anxious.

After the artillery fire was extinguished, a red sphere was vaguely seen in the air, being bound by gravity and falling rapidly. Fang Zexia recognized it at a glance. This was Jiang Tianwei! When he was competing with the demon Hell Angel, he was wearing a red armor.

It seems that this armor is not just for looks, it has first-class defense. In mid-air, Fang Zexia hugged him as he fell. The red armor was covered with charred marks. Metal has good thermal conductivity, so it was naturally hot after being bombarded by the artillery fire. Fang Zexia completely ignored the pain in her flesh and tried to drag his body to prevent him from falling straight to the ground.
