Feeling there was no need to stay any longer, Li Nian said goodbye and left the activity room. As he was about to reach the school gate, Kasumi No Oka jogged up to him from behind and said with a smile.

"Those two requests are basically reminders, right?"

Li Nian also asked back.

"If I don't remind Amae, how can I be worthy of Kasumigaoka-senpai for going through so much trouble?"

“…Because there are many things that need to be confirmed.”

"Aren't you just afraid that Amaki's plan won't pass my review?"

"Well, it doesn't matter now. Actually, just like you said, you will still stand on the side of your friends in the end."

Li Nian sighed as if giving up, agreed with her statement, and was silent for a while before continuing.

"...It's actually quite interesting, everyone gets together like this, talking about everything under the sun." He sighed for no apparent reason, "Humans are indeed social animals. Only when you're with someone can you feel alive."

"..."

Kasumigaoka felt that the meaning of this sentence was as if it was saying that if a person is not with someone, he or she will not feel alive.

For some reason, she suddenly recalled the man who was pierced through the abdomen and was seriously injured and dying when the spiritual disaster occurred, but he still stood in front of everyone...

"Your character design is already being created." Kasumigaoka said suddenly.

"Ah? My character? What the hell?" Li Nian was a little confused.

"Did you forget what I said, who is the prototype of the male protagonist of this game?"

"…Senior, you were not joking before, were you serious?!"

"Of course I'm serious."

"Come on, it's embarrassing...?"

"Do you really think so?" Kasumigaoka said meaningfully. "But when I look at someone's work, it's like an autobiography."

After the spiritual disaster, Xia Zhiqiu read Li Nian's works more than once and could feel the author's ideas and thoughts from them. This was undoubtedly the real other side of this person that he had never revealed in his daily life.

"..." Li Nian stopped for a moment, feeling speechless.

During this time, the two had already walked out of the school gate. When Li Nian stopped, Xia Zhiqiu walked in front.

"So I think it's most appropriate for you to be the male lead with your own personality... Of course, if you really think it's inappropriate, I will give up."

After saying this, Kasumigaoka waved goodbye to him and walked away, in a completely different direction from Sakurasou.

Li Nian watched her leave and finally smiled at himself.

"Of course there is still a gap between my ideal self and my actual self, right?"

Chapter 195: You will really die if I cut you with this knife

"Crash!"

A huge black shadow leaped out from the nearby mountains and forests, fell from the sky, and landed on the concrete ground of the road. After cracking the ground with its huge weight, it opened its bloody mouth to the sky and let out a shrill roar.

It was a monster as big as a tall building.

In a nutshell, its appearance is a spider.

Of course, this is not accurate. Even ordinary people can easily see that it is not an ordinary creature. After all, there is no spider in the world that can grow so tall, and there is no spider that can open its bloody mouth and make such a deafening roar. It is just a monster that looks like a spider.

When the eight-legged insect was enlarged to the size of a tall building, its already terrifying appearance became even more terrifying. Its pitch-black body, the even darker mist lingering around it, and the eight blood-red eyes flashing in the black mist added a lot of brutal and evil aura to it.

Even a fool can see that this thing is definitely not a good thing.

The same is true.

At this time, the monster's eight blood-red eyes all looked towards the city not far away.

In the monster's perception, that area was like a bright light in the darkness. It had been following the light since its birth. The closer it got to the aura, the more excited it became. Now that the target was in sight, it confirmed the direction again, moved its eight pillar-like legs, and with a rumbling sound, rushed towards the nearest residential area at a terrifying speed.

This monster looks like an insect, but its heart is filled with violence and excitement that an insect shouldn't have. Its purpose is clear: it wants to pounce on the light - and then extinguish it.

This monster intends to indiscriminately destroy everything there, which is the only impulse that exists in it since its birth.

So a sudden spiritual disaster is about to happen in this city.

It was late at night and most people were sleeping soundly. Someone was awakened by a shrill roar that pierced the night sky. He walked to the window and looked in the direction of the sound. He confirmed the scene with his hazy eyes and then he suddenly woke up and realized the approach of the spiritual disaster.

Then screams of fear were heard, and lights in hundreds of houses were lit up, waking up the sleeping people, and the spiritual disaster was finally discovered.

Everyone could see that the terrifying monster came with the intention of destroying and killing. When that huge body rushed into the residential area, the seemingly solid buildings would be collapsed like building blocks. Flesh and blood, which were more fragile than bricks and stones, would be destroyed more easily... When the judgment that could be easily made by common sense appeared in everyone's mind, panic and fear spread immediately.

Run, you must run, escape from here, escape from the monsters, escape from danger... People were in a hurry and panic, but time continued to move forward mercilessly, and the huge spider monster had no intention of stopping, but instead sped up.

It's too late to run away.

The spider monster was seen about to crash into the nearest building, turning the building into ruins where many people were still inside and who had not yet escaped, and began its killing spree since its birth as a monster.

The great terror was imminent, and feelings of despair began to appear in people's eyes.

At this moment, when no one noticed, a tiny figure suddenly appeared in front of the monster out of nowhere and punched the monster directly in the face.

"boom!"

The human fist and the huge body as big as a house collided, but it was like a train collision. The air waves rolled out and pushed the air, making a thunderous sound and turning into a strong wind. As a result, the monster's body flew backwards in the opposite direction like a cannonball, at a faster speed than when it rushed forward.

Everyone who saw this scene was shocked.

When that person landed from the sky and stood in the middle of the crowd, someone noticed his existence and exclaimed in surprise.

"There's someone there!"

"It seems like he... did something..."

"It's an exorcist... Yes, it must be an exorcist!"

"The exorcist is here! We are saved! It's all right! The exorcist is here to solve the spiritual disaster!"

The exaggerated scene of the monster being knocked away let people know that the exorcist arranged by the Yin-Yang Bureau had arrived in time. It also showed that this exorcist was powerful enough to solve the current disaster. So cheers of survival rang out, and countless awe-inspiring eyes were cast on that figure.

The person who came was none other than Li Nian.

Although he performed a heroic act and was looked at with admiration by countless people, he himself did not actually look very glamorous. Dressed in shorts, a vest and slippers, Li Nian had a tired expression as if he had lost all desire in life.

He was woken up by a phone call when he was sleeping soundly. To be honest, he wanted to crush his phone to pieces at that time...

Well... I'm almost used to this kind of thing, but habits are habits, and unpleasant things are of course still unpleasant.

Having said that, when Li Nian understood the seriousness of the situation from the liaison officer's panicked voice, he agreed without saying anything more and immediately rushed over as fast as he could, barely catching up with the occurrence of the spiritual disaster. He was able to complete the rescue at the critical moment. He breathed a sigh of relief at this time, as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart.

Looking at the huge monster again, the spider that was knocked flying landed 800 meters away, with its eight legs facing the sky, but it quickly turned over. Looking at its clever appearance, it was obvious that it was agile beyond its huge body. In addition, the punch I just made felt like hitting steel. It was undoubtedly a very difficult creature...

This is true for others, of course, for Li Nian, these are not a problem at all. With his temper, he didn't kill this guy right away at the beginning, just because he felt something was wrong.

At this time, his spiritual vision was open, and he looked up and down at the monster, carefully observing the nature of the monster. With his current insight, he could easily see that its true form was a spider from somewhere, a typical monster that was transformed from an ordinary life after being affected by spiritual power.

The question is, why is it evil spiritual power?

The Yin-Yang Bureau undoubtedly has a network that monitors fluctuations in spiritual energy across the country. The first news Li Nian received was that the Yin-Yang Bureau had observed abnormal fluctuations in spiritual energy, which were being released in clusters and moving towards nearby cities at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As for the last point, it was undoubtedly an extremely urgent and dangerous situation. Li Nian rushed here without stopping, proving that the Yin-Yang Department's judgment was correct. However, their surveillance network did not seem to be strong enough to detect many details. He had to be there to determine that it was a dangerous monster approaching the human gathering place. He also did not know the specific cause of this guy...

According to common sense, if it was just a normal disorder of the spiritual veins that caused the spiritual energy to overflow, it shouldn't be such a bad quality of spiritual energy.

The aura fluctuations of this monster were so strong that it must have been as bright and eye-catching as a light bulb on the monitoring network of the Onmyoji Bureau. It should have been dealt with long ago. Why was it not discovered until it was about to attack the residential area on the city’s border? Judging from the description of the Onmyoji Bureau, they should have given the news at the first opportunity. Does that mean that the formation of this guy was also some kind of emergency?

Li Nian felt something was wrong. He raised his eyes, looked past the giant spider, and glanced at the forest on the other side of the road. That was the direction the spider monster had come from...

Is there anything happening over there?

He was just thinking when he was interrupted by the spider monster's fierce roar again. Looking up, he saw that the huge spider monster had jumped over a distance of 800 meters and pounced in front of him again.

The cheers behind stopped abruptly and people held their breath again.

Li Nian was not nervous at all. He looked at it indifferently, with his right hand raised high.

A flash of fire appeared and swept over, forming a forty-meter-long flaming sword, which was held in Li Nian's hand. Then he raised the sword and chopped it on the steel shell of the spider monster, but it was like cutting butter, and it moved down without any delay.

It was a flash, and the result was a clean break.

Just like the first time Li Nian dealt with a spiritual disaster.

As the saying goes, a lion will use all its strength even when fighting a rabbit. When Li Nian decides to kill someone, he has developed the habit of going all out with the first strike. The commander-in-chief of the Nura clan suffered a great loss because of this. Since then, Li Nian has dealt with large and small third-type spiritual disasters, and has fought with many desperate criminals, both strong and weak, and he has never been able to match him with a single blow. Without exception, all of them were killed with one strike.

Now, this spider monster as big as a building was no exception. It couldn't withstand his most dangerous blow. It was split into two halves before it even fell into the air. The two halves of its body, losing its strength, fell to the ground. The body formed by the abundant evil spiritual power began to lose its shape.

Li Nian looked at the black spots of light that dissipated with the wind, and suddenly felt sad and sighed.

"Should I tell everyone from now on that you might die if I cut you with the knife?"

In short, this spiritual disaster that almost caused a major catastrophe was resolved as usual by him with one sword.

As for the cause of the spider monster ahead, Li Nian did not think any more about it. He glanced at the local residents rushing over from behind, and then suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving as abruptly as he came.

Chapter 196: Subsequent Development of the Spiritual Disaster

Li Nian chopped the monster and left. He left quickly and cleanly, which meant he had completed his job, but the spiritual disaster was not over yet.

School, lunch time.

Because she arrived at the cafeteria late, the fried noodles and bread she wanted to eat were sold out. Li Nian could only buy butter bread. She frowned as she chewed the sweet taste that she didn't like, and took a sip of green tea. She turned her gaze to look at An Yi who was gritting her teeth and thinking hard in front of a blank paper. She was wondering what progress this guy would make on his project plan today when she was suddenly patted on the shoulder. She turned around and saw Totsuka's beautiful smiling face.

"Student Li Nian, is there a third-year senior looking for you outside?"

Not only Li Nian, Kato and Gogen also looked over subconsciously and saw Isayama Yomi standing outside the window. They all looked surprised.

Li Nian frowned, knowing that Jianshan had come to him specially to discuss something important, so he immediately stood up and walked away.

"Isayama-senpai is here to see Li Nian-san again? Is it related to the Kendo Club?"

Kato muttered, with a twinkling look of curiosity in his eyes. Gogen didn't know Isayama's reputation in school, but he immediately remembered who was the last exorcist to arrive when the spiritual disaster occurred that day...

Li Nian walked out of the classroom and greeted Jianshan. He looked the senior up and down. Seeing that she looked worried and tired, and seemed to have no energy, he asked her doubtfully.

"Were you called to Hokkaido again last night?"

"more or less."

"Tsk tsk, we are all destined to work hard."

Li Nian expressed sympathy, but was glared at.

"Whose fault do you think it is?"

"……what?"

Li Nian was at a loss, not knowing what blame he would have to take. Jian Shan sighed, "I went to help someone clean up the mess."

Li Nian was stunned, and immediately thought of the spiritual disaster that happened last night, and asked tentatively: "Who to help?"

"You."

Really helping him, Li Nian, clean up the mess? After thinking it over, Li Nian didn't know why he needed to clean up the mess he had made: "...Did I do something wrong?"

Isayama shook his head.

"No... well, I was just kidding. You got to the scene in time and solved the spiritual disaster. You saved so many lives. You've done a good job. Thank you for your hard work. Don't think too much about it. In fact, these are some things that I only discovered after you."

"What you found out after me? How do you say it?"

"I received the news after you solved the spiritual disaster, and was assigned to investigate the source of the spiritual disaster."

Li Nian suddenly realized that Jianshan's actions were indeed to clean up the mess for him. Although he was ordered to do this and resolved the threat of the monster, he did not do a thorough investigation, and the consequences fell on Jianshan's head. He immediately shrugged apologetically.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's my fault for not thinking it through and not being thorough enough."

"It's okay. Of course, you big shots won't be responsible for the aftermath."

"How dare you call yourself a big shot in front of a senior sister..."

"Come on, you newbie. We civil servants have a hard life. Let's not talk about that. Let's get back to the point..." Isayama's face became serious. "After I investigated, I found something."

"Discover?"

"I followed the instructions from the hall and went to the place where the spiritual wave first erupted. I found a dilapidated shrine in the nearby mountains and forests." Isayama said seriously: "The shrine was built on a spiritual vein. Although many of the arrangements are dilapidated, it is still easy to see that it is the preparation for some kind of ritual. There are also residual spiritual power fluctuations. Combining all these, it can be concluded that there must have been a—"

"……seal?"

"Yes." Isayama nodded vigorously.
