There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

"Tsk..."

Li Nian couldn't help but smack his lips, and suddenly realized the danger of the situation. He frowned and pressed his temples with a headache.

"So, similar to what happened in Kyoto, is there something dangerous that has escaped again?"

“…It seems to be like that.”

"Alas... do the mages of the past understand the principle of rooting out the weeds? Aren't they just laying traps for future generations?"

Isayama smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Don't say that. In the past, various magic systems were not integrated and were not as developed as they are now. There was a blockage of information and no knowledge exchange. The mages were forced to do so."

"I see."

Complaints aside, Li Nian actually understands better than Isayama that humans are not born and raised like demons, monsters, Asuras, and Buddhas. Most of them start practicing from scratch. The essence is to learn how to borrow power from heaven and earth, but the level they reach is different. Sometimes, when they are unable to defeat the demons due to insufficient mana and means, they will want to do something around the spiritual veins and use the power of the earth's spiritual veins to suppress the demons. This is a normal idea. The mages in the past were able to suppress them because they probably took advantage of the right time, right place, and right people and made many preparations.

"A guy who can be sealed is probably not a good guy. From your description, the shrine should be quite old. Since he has been suppressed for so long and not killed, he must be more capable... So, last time it was Yuyuko, what came out this time?"

"I don't know for now. I've already reported it to the bureau, and they've arranged for someone to come and investigate. Now I'm here to find you. In addition to telling you these things, I also want to ask you if you've gotten any useful information since you've personally defeated the demon?"

"It can be determined that the giant spider I defeated was affected by the broken seal and was corroded by spiritual energy and turned into a demon. Apart from this, I don't have any other information to provide."

"Because you killed it with one blow... Yeah, okay, I get it."

The information provided by Li Nian had no reference value. Jianshan smiled helplessly, waved his hand, turned around to leave, but suddenly remembered something and said something more to Li Nian.

"By the way, it seems that the incident yesterday has spread. I advise you to be more careful."

"Has it spread?"

Li Nian didn't understand and wanted to ask again, but Jianshan had already turned and left.

Li Nian turned back to the classroom in confusion, and suddenly heard the most noisy guy in the class... the boy named Hubu? He was holding up his cell phone and making strange noises.

"Ohhhh! Bignews! Bignews! Everyone come and take a look at this video! It's so cool!"

The noise this guy made deliberately attracted the attention of the whole class as expected. Miura Yumiko, who was playing with her mobile phone in her seat, frowned unhappily and glared at him.

"What's the fuss? What's the fuss?"

Hu Bu shrank back when he was glared at by the queen of the class, and quickly handed over the phone in a flattering manner. His tone suddenly dropped a lot, but he still couldn't hide his excitement.

"Youmiko, look at this, this video! It's the headline of today's news! It's really cool, it actually said it happened last night!"

Miura glanced at it without much enthusiasm and read out the title.

"What is this? Let me see. [Shocked! Why are the residents screaming in the middle of the night...] What the hell is this?"

Chapter 197: Some disturbance caused by the video leak

“Is this title really exaggerated?”

Miura seemed to be uninterested and had no interest in the exaggerated news headline. Her reaction made the Ministry of Finance a little anxious.

"This is not important. Next! Scroll down, scroll down! It's that video! You'll understand after you watch it!"

"Oh? What did you see?"

Ye Shan, who was standing next to him, leaned close to Miura's ear with a smile and peeked at the screen curiously, not knowing that his unintentional action made Miura's whole body stiff.

"At 3 a.m. today, in Saitama Prefecture..."

Ye Shan was completely unaware. As he read the content of the news, his eyebrows slightly raised as if in shock. His smile suddenly faded a little. He was attracted by the content and moved closer to see it better. He accidentally touched the hair near Miura's ear, and their faces almost touched.

"Well... If you're interested, Hayato, just take a look..."

Miura shuddered all over, muttering with a slightly red face, and moved the screen of Hubu's mobile phone towards him, but moved himself slightly in the opposite direction.

“I want to see it too~~~!”

At this time, Yuigahama came over to join in the fun, and stretched her head to curiously look at the contents of the phone, and she and Hayama sandwiched Miura on the left and right.

Miura couldn't move. He paid full attention to the distance between him and Ye Shan. His attention was no longer on the news.

"Saitama Prefecture... spiritual disaster? Isn't this right next to Chiba?!" After watching the news, Yuigahama screamed in surprise.

It was normal for the current students in the class to make noises. Li Nian didn't pay attention to it at first. At this time, he had already walked to the side of his seat. When he heard Yuigahama shouting, he was startled and turned his head sharply to look at her.

Wu Geng noticed his reaction, looked back and forth at Li Nian and Ye Shan, thought about it, and then silently took out his cell phone.

Ye Shan had already read the entire news and knew the whole story. He relaxed a little and said to Yuigahama with a smile, "Although it seemed like a terrible emergency, the exorcist arrived in time and solved it. In the end, there were no casualties."

"Really? I'm glad no one was hurt..." Yuigahama patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to be relieved, Hu Bu shook his head vigorously: "That's not the point! Turn down, turn down! I said there's a video!"

Li Nian was paying close attention to everything there. His keen hearing had already caught these words. When he heard the Ministry of Revenue say there was a video, he immediately guessed something. He suddenly became nervous, staring at that place without blinking, muttering, "My ordinary high school life is not going to be game over just like that, is it?"

After Hubu said this, Ye Shan noticed that there was an extra sentence at the end of the article.

"Fortunately, someone captured the brief moment when this exorcist was exorcising the spiritual disaster. The following is the video... Is it true or false?"

Li Nian stared at the situation over at Ye Shan, but he couldn't see the phone screen from this angle... Suddenly someone pulled his sleeve. He turned around and saw Wu Geng silently handing him his phone. A video had already started playing on the screen.

The picture shows a huge black spider rushing towards us from the opposite road. Judging from the shooting angle, it should be a picture taken by a resident of the residential area with a mobile phone when the incident happened.

Li Nian was speechless. The situation was so critical at that time, but he didn't rush to run away and had the leisure to shoot a video? There are really some stupid people in this world who are so careless.

Thanks to this, all the subsequent scenes were recorded, including a man who suddenly appeared, punched the monster and sent it flying 800 meters away, and then chopped it in half with a knife when it pounced on him, and then he glanced behind him and suddenly disappeared...

Well, the entire process of defeating the monster was filmed.

This fact is exactly as Li Nian guessed.

"Today's headlines." Wu Geng added an explanation.

"..."

What about the information control of the Onmyoji Bureau... Well, it seems that the Onmyoji Bureau doesn't really care about this part.

Although exorcists have always been shrouded in a veil of mystery in the eyes of the world, there are so many spiritual disasters happening across the country that there are actually quite a few that have been filmed. Due to some deliberate arrangements or coincidences, it is not uncommon to see videos of exorcists exorcising spiritual disasters on the spot. Because of the spread of these news, it actually plays a positive publicity role for the exorcist group. The official attitude of the Onmyoji Bureau is often to turn a blind eye to this kind of news, and the people like to hear and see it, and the media that is always preying on rumors will not easily let go of such eye-catching news.

However, it was just the occurrence and resolution of a spiritual disaster, which happens dozens of times a month in this country, so it was not a big deal. The reason it became so popular that it made the headlines was thanks to that video.

Monsters as big as buildings and tiny humans, the difference in combat power that is completely opposite to the difference in size, and the forty-meter-long flaming sword that finally cuts through the night... all these elements combined together have a very visual impact, making people exclaim that something good was shot. The editor also captured this point and put the news and video together. The shock level was greatly upgraded, and it received a huge number of clicks at once.

"Is someone going to be famous?" Wu Geng's eyes flickered as he asked Li Nian tentatively.

Li Nian looked at him, not in the mood to joke, and asked in a low voice: "Can you tell who it is?"

This statement is equivalent to admitting that he is the one who solves the spiritual disaster, and the question is based on this.

Hearing that Li Nian's tone was different from before, with a solemn tone, he was asking this question seriously. Wu Geng was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then gave a cautious answer.

"It's barely noticeable..."

Yes, just barely recognizable.

After watching this video, Li Nian came to the same conclusion, which was verified again from Wugeng. He heaved a sigh of relief.

The video was shot with a mobile phone at a distance, so the image quality is only average. The exorcist had his back to the camera from beginning to end, and only his side face was revealed at the end.

The overall recognition is not very high, after all, there is no front face.

Wu Geng had seen Li Nian's fighting figure, and that figure suddenly overlapped with the person who had stood in front of her and protected everyone in the past. It was not surprising that she would think of Li Nian - but she was not completely sure, and had to confirm with Li Nian. In fact, she still had a trace of doubt in her heart.

This shows that what you see in the video alone is not enough to identify a specific person...

Perhaps because of this, Isayama only gave him a few words of advice, asking Li Nian to be more careful. He probably didn't take it too seriously and didn't think that Li Nian would be exposed so easily.

Li Nian's guess became more and more certain, thinking to himself that it was a good thing that he only acted as a back-viewing man and did not stay at the scene for long. He left decisively. Otherwise, if he was not careful, someone would take a picture of his face and spread the news. If it became popular and made the headlines, and everyone in the school knew about it, he would be really exposed...

Looking at Ye Shan again, several people who had watched the video started shouting.

"How awesome! It was knocked away with a bang! And it was solved with a snap!" Yuigahama danced with excitement.

"It's really shocking." Ye Shan smiled and stood up, leaving Miura's side: "As expected of an exorcist, he has some methods that ordinary people can't imagine. Yumiko thinks so too, right?"

"Eh? Ah, yes..."

Miura seemed to have just come to his senses. He pretended to be calm and played with his hair, with a flush on his face.

"Just say so!"

After getting the approval of these three people, Hu Bu became more and more excited and began to spread the video around the class. It went viral in no time, causing calls from everywhere.

Yuigahama calmed down from her initial excitement, and suddenly thought of something and clapped her hands.

"Think about it carefully. Doesn't that person look familiar?" She tapped her temple, trying to recall, and her eyes began to wander around.

Li Nian silently picked up the book and covered his face as if he was reading. Even so, Yuigahama stared at him suspiciously for a few seconds before she smiled with relief.

"How is it possible...it must be my illusion."

Yuigahama looked away.

Wu Geng saw this scene and spoke.

"You held the book upside down."

"..."

Li Nian put the book down silently.

He seemed to underestimate the recognition of the video.

"You seem panicked?" Wu Geng asked doubtfully.

"...kind of."

"Are you so unwilling to be exposed?..."

Wu Geng is not a fool, of course he can see what Li Nian is worried about.

Li Nian shrugged.

"Because once it's exposed, it will become very troublesome later."

"I understand this... but it's still a little hard to agree with." Gogen muttered: "Don't you think it's nice to be as glorious as a "prodigy"?"

The "prodigy" she mentioned refers to the youngest first-class exorcist in the history of the Onmyoji Bureau, Suzuka Dairenji, who is known as one of the Twelve Divine Generals and the title of "prodigy". She is the face of the Onmyoji Bureau, the exorcist who publishes the most information, participates in the most activities, and is the most well-known. She is a household name in Japan.

When Li Nian heard the name, she suddenly remembered something else. It was the conversation with Amanawa Kiyomi and Nurarihyon, in which they said they would arrange for her to come here... She shook her head and came back to her senses. She understood what Gogen meant and shook her head with a helpless look.

"That example is too extreme. If you use the "child prodigy" as a reference, you would think that this job is glamorous and there is nothing you can do about it, but that is just an illusion. There is only one person like Dalian Temple Suzuka - and even if it is her, it may not be as glamorous as it seems."

"That being said... there's no need to hide it like a thief, right?"

"Secrets are no longer secrets once too many people know them." At this point, Li Nian sighed, "Ah, to be honest, it's no longer a secret now. It feels like it's only a matter of time before it's exposed."

"So, why not just..."

"That's another matter. Being known by you and being known by others are different. I don't want to be treated like a monkey by irrelevant people. That kind of glory is really not worth having."

This is what Li Nian really finds troublesome.

Li Nian added another sentence.

"Besides, haven't you noticed that the way you look at me has changed since you found out my identity? I don't like that either."

Wu Geng was silent for a while, then said sarcastically.

"You have a special power that is unparalleled in the world, but you still say that ordinary is best? This sounds like the idea of ​​a third-rate light novel protagonist."

If you have no parents like me, you will understand how good it is to be ordinary.

Li Nian thought so in his heart but didn't say it out loud. In the end he just snorted and laughed.

"You are the ones who don't know how to appreciate your blessings."

This made Wugeng feel unhappy.

"Actually, I wanted to ask you before, why do you always act like, 'I am your elder in life, I know more than you, I have seen more than you'?"

"You finally see the truth?" Li Nian's face was full of relief.

"I'm saying you're pretending to be profound!"

"Is that so... There's nothing we can do. After all, it's the wisdom of a mortal man." Li Nian sighed.

"It's this stupid look, yes, it's this stupid look that makes me want to slap you in the face!"

After teasing Wu Geng for a while and making the girl so angry that she was itching to bite him, Li Nian successfully changed the topic again and muttered to himself that this girl was really easy to deal with.
