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

"What this means is that I...?" Kasumigaoka became excited and pressed his hands on the table.

"You have to keep writing." Machida propped up his chin with both hands and made a serious application: "I take back what I said before about you wrapping up the story line and preparing to finish it. Xiaoshi, you have to keep writing, make longer-term plans, speed up the progress, and write more content. Do you understand?"

Kasumigaoka stared.

“Can I continue writing?”

"Eh? Do I need to start explaining again from there..."

“…No, I understand.”

Of course Kasumigaoka understood, but she was only sure of it now.

This made her feel relieved, her clenched fists loosened, and her excited mood calmed down.

As long as I can keep writing, everything is fine.

"Everything is moving in the right direction," Ms. Machida said softly. "It seems that the dormant period is about to end, and the flowers will bloom beautifully soon."

“…Now I really have to thank Li Nian. The opportunity to make a cartoon was like a lifesaver.”

"...Yes, from the perspective of an editor, I do have to thank him, but unfortunately he passed away too early. I'll have to trouble you, Xiaoshi, to tell me when you thank him later."

"...This favor is hard to come by. Without his help, I would probably have frozen to death during the dormant period, right?"

"It's my fault," said Ms. Machida flatly. "You should blame me. I didn't provide adequate assistance as the editor."

Kasumigaoka glanced at the editor.

Miss Machida, who seemed to have no remorse at all and spoke in a calm tone, sat up slightly.

"Yes, it really pissed me off. I wish I could bite this cake to death."

Kasumigaoka picked up a piece of cake, glared at it fiercely, then bit off a large piece, and said incoherently while chewing: "Saiyang is showing off."

"Xiao Shi is really easy to deal with."

Machida smiled and pushed the drink over.

After swallowing the cake with a drink, Kasumigaoka reached out his hand to Ms. Machida.

"Well, I'll continue to take care of you in the future."

Machida shook the hand back with a disapproving smile on his face.

"What nonsense are you talking about? No matter how useless my little Shi is, as long as he is still writing, I will certainly not want to throw it away."

Chapter 215: Unexpected Collaborator

Just as Kasumigaoka guessed, the reason why Li Nian hurriedly left the two of them and went straight away was because he received instructions from the Onmyoji Bureau and received a work commission.

Li Nian rejected the suggestion of a special car to pick him up and hailed a passing taxi in order to get there faster. He quickly arrived at the scene of the spiritual disaster.

The indicated location was not far from Chiba and was in the suburbs. It seemed to be private land in the mountains. When Li Nian got off the car, he stopped in front of a large ancient mansion in the middle of the land.

The gate was blocked by a cordon. Li Nian was not in a hurry to go in, but looked up at the entrance of the mansion.

——The flow of spiritual energy around me seems a bit unnatural? Has a barrier been set up here before?

At this time, a police officer came over. Li Nian showed his ID to the police officer as if he was familiar with the place. After confirming his identity, he was quickly able to enter. Before entering the door, Li Nian first noticed the five Chinese characters "Kanto Great Ape Association" written on the doorplate on the side that indicated the identity of the owner.

Is it the mafia... ?

Li Nian's heart sank, and he thought that this matter might be related to the Nura clan again.

He immediately stepped through the gate and entered. What he saw at first sight was a very eye-catching figure among a group of adults in uniforms or suits coming and going in the courtyard. Li Nian was stunned for a moment.

"That person is..."

She seemed to have noticed a strange guy in a high school uniform coming in through the door. The guy glanced at her and their eyes met head-on. Li Nian was able to see her full appearance and her eyes widened slightly.

She is a little girl in junior high school, with dyed blonde hair tied into two slightly curly ponytails. She is dressed in a Gothic Lolita style, with a bright red and black plaid vest on the upper body and a miniskirt with many laces and chains on the lower body, and black leather boots on her feet.

The outfit was too gorgeous, and seemed even more out of place in the scene than Li Nian. It was so recognizable that Li Nian immediately associated this person's appearance with a name in her mind.

"——Darenji Suzuka?"

Known as the "child prodigy", he is hailed as the youngest of the Twelve Divine Generals. He appears frequently on television and in magazines. When people talk about exorcists, they basically think of him. He can be said to be the most well-known national first-class exorcist.

This well-known celebrity suddenly appeared at the scene in such an outfit, which made Li Nian feel very abrupt and stunned for a moment. When the girl saw Li Nian appear, she didn't know what she thought of. She narrowed her eyes and stared at him without moving her eyes away, with some inquiry in her eyes.

Why did Dalian Temple Suzuka appear here... No, what other reason could there be for an exorcist to appear at the scene of a spiritual disaster? It could only be due to work.

Li Nian quickly figured it out and regained her composure. Without thinking any more, she immediately noticed that the police officer who had just talked to this "child prodigy" was also a familiar face.

The face with stern brows and a majestic look without even being angry... was the officer Takasaka who had come forward to ask Li Nian about the details of the incident after the Kidomaru incident. I remember his full name was Takasaka Daisuke... Anyway, this police captain seemed to be the person in charge of the scene. He noticed Li Nian who came in, recognized him, and looked a little surprised.

Li Nian walked straight towards them, facing their gazes, and directly showed his exorcist qualification certificate again and said.

"I'm Li Nian, the exorcist who was commissioned by the Yin-Yang Department to assist in the investigation of the spiritual disaster."

When she heard Li Nian's name, the girl's eyes suddenly widened, and she muttered, "It's you...", and then began to look him up and down.

"...?"

Li Nian glanced at her in confusion.

At this time, Officer Kosaka spoke in a low voice: "I still remember this name... So you really became an exorcist?"

Li Nian first spoke to Officer Takasaka.

"I remember you, Officer Kousaka... Yes, I became an exorcist after the incident with the old Rat Group, which is why I ran into you, Officer Kousaka, at this scene."

"I see... I understand. Thank you for taking the trouble to make this trip, Mr. Li. I hope you can give me your guidance in the future."

He addressed Li Nian as Mr. Li, which clearly showed his attitude.

Knowing that Li Nian had killed a lot of people in the Kidomaru incident and that he was in the same group as the exorcist Isayama, who was also a high school student, and also because the younger Twelve Generals were around, Officer Takasaka did not doubt Li Nian's ability as an exorcist just because of his student appearance, and quickly accepted the fact that the exorcist who came to handle this incident was such a high school student.

Officer Kousaka turned to the girl.

"As for this person who is also here to assist in the investigation... I don't need to introduce him."

"The name of the child prodigy is well known." Li Nian turned his head to look at the girl who was still looking him up and down, as if trying to find a flower, and raised his eyebrows: "But before I came, didn't I receive any news that a national first-level exorcist had arrived?"

One of the twelve divine generals had already arrived, so why did he need to go out on his own? Li Nian was a little confused.

The "child prodigy" suddenly spoke up with an impatient tone.

"You are Li Nian, right? I know you. Don't think too much. This is what Tian Ruo arranged for me to meet you."

Tian Ruo... Tian Ruo Qing Xian? It was arranged by that person... By the way, when we met before, he said that he would call a capable exorcist to Qianye to help take charge.

"I see... the one who was called here was a [Prodigy]..."

He actually dared to call the Director of the Curse Search Department "that guy Tian Ruo", which seemed like he was quite arrogant.

Li Nian looked at the girl thoughtfully. The little brat crossed her arms across her chest. Due to her height, she could only look up at Li Nian's face. She looked down at him with a condescending and slightly arrogant attitude: "... She is said to be so powerful, but she looks just ordinary... It's wrong for me to judge people by their appearance. Is she really as powerful as that guy said? Let me see for myself."

Li Nian felt that the girl's attitude towards him was a bit impolite. He twitched his eyes and wondered what Minister Tianruo said about him in front of this child prodigy.

But he was too lazy to say anything more, and just decided to quickly return to work. He ignored the "prodigy" who suddenly appeared, and said directly to Officer Kosaka: "Now that we've greeted each other, let's get straight to the point. Can you explain what happened this time?"

It was Dalian Temple Suzuka who suddenly turned around and walked towards the house along the road leading to the residence that was opened from the door. She arrived first and had obviously learned about it from Officer Kosaka. Li Nian and Kosaka followed immediately and heard the girl speak as she walked, mentioning the case, but her tone was also solemn, and she directly told Li Nian the summary of this incident.

"It's the Kanto Great Ape Society under the Nura Clan that will be wiped out."

Chapter 216 A Hasty Visitor

"..."

Li Nian silently looked at Officer Takasaka to confirm the credibility of his words, and saw Officer Takasaka nodded, confirming Dalian Temple's statement.

Li Nian sighed, feeling troubled.

The Nura Group, the Nura Group again.

When I saw the house number before entering, I had a feeling that it would be related to the Nura Group. Now this feeling has been confirmed. The Kanto Great Ape Group is indeed connected to the Nura Group, and it is a group directly under it...

The base of the direct group was broken into and all the members were killed?

The attack on the Kanto Great Ape Association, which is under the Nura Group, is an active attempt to pick a fight with the Nura Group. Could it be that the people who did this were from Yuyuko? By doing such a blatant act, are they planning to tear each other apart and start a war directly?

And if they really want to cause trouble for the Nura clan, will they implicate me again, just like before?

These are all very easy to associate with each other. Even though they are unconfirmed guesses, Li Nian subjectively feels that there is a 70% to 80% possibility.

In short, it is certain that trouble has come again.

"The person who has been attacked several times feels complicated?"

Dalian Temple glanced at him. Perhaps Minister Tianruo had already told her. Obviously, she also knew about Li Nian and understood why Li Nian was sighing at this moment.

"...So be it."

Li Nian looked towards Dalian Temple, she smiled, straightened her flat chest and said proudly.

"I heard you were beaten badly before? But don't worry this time... If you want to know why, it's because I'm here!"

"...Hearing the child prodigy say this really makes me feel reassured."

Having said that, Li Nian still felt that this kid was not very reliable. He remembered what Tian Ruo had said before, there were many things going on in the industry and the big guys were too busy to spare, so the guy who was transferred over didn't seem to be that capable.

But at this point, it doesn't matter.

If a similar attack happens for the third time, he will just kill them all again. I don't believe that Yuyuko's subordinates have so many capable people for him to kill.

Officer Takasaka did not interrupt. After a few words, everyone walked to the front of the mansion and suddenly opened the door. When Li Nian saw the scene, he frowned.

Just looking from the entrance, you can see corpses lying everywhere. They are all monsters in the form of giant apes. It is indeed a base of the monster underworld, which is why Li Nian and Dalian Temple, the two exorcists, appear here.

Li Nian took a quick look and said decisively.

"The traces of battle are too obvious. It seems that the murderer just barged in from the front door and killed everyone who came to stop him, and then went all the way inside." Then he was puzzled: "But it was such a grand battle, why is the body like this?"

This question arises because these corpses appear to be more or less shriveled, as if their body fluids have been sucked out. Looking up at the other corpses, they are in the same state.

Li Nian felt that the whole scene did not look like some strange way of death. Judging from the way they fell, they had indeed fought with someone when they were alive - and then were killed with one blow.

And look at the method...

Li Nian lowered his head and carefully observed the corpse at his feet. The body was curled up in pain, with both hands holding his left chest, as if something had pierced his chest. Without moving the body, he could see a vertical penetrating wound on the back that was visible to the naked eye.

"There is no doubt that the knife pierced his heart. If we talk about the direct cause of death, it must be this."

Just standing at the entrance and looking at the other corpses in the corridor, if you ignore the inexplicable phenomenon of the corpses shriveling, you can easily find that these dead people were either pierced or chopped, and basically died from knife wounds.

"The murderer must have used a knife, and he was very strong. Most of the victims were killed with one strike. So although there are obvious signs of fighting around, they are too few. It is obvious that the confrontation was very short, and it seemed that he didn't have to kill them all the way..."

Li Nian muttered, and a long knife suddenly appeared in his hand. He rushed forward fiercely, and then the long knife stabbed, swept, slashed, and chopped. In a flash, he had come to a wall. Finally, he swung the knife to shake the blood. The wind from the knife blew lightly, and the line of blood that fell just coincided with the bloodstains on the wall.

Turning around, he found that Officer Kosaka was looking at him strangely. He scratched his hair, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Sorry, I couldn't help but simulate it."

"...I did see the murderer's killing process very clearly, but please be careful not to destroy the scene." Officer Takasaka warned.

"Oh, what does it matter if the scene is destroyed or not?" Dalian Temple sneered. "This is a third-category spiritual disaster, which is not within the scope of the police. The evidence you need is useless to us. From a professional point of view, the result is obvious. Just like Li said, a master broke into the mansion and killed all the members of the Kanto Great Ape Society he saw."

The girl named Dalian Temple Suzuka looked young, but she did not show any panic in the face of the scene where corpses were lying everywhere. She looked around with a cold gaze, and after observing the scene, her judgment was similar to Li Nian's.

Li Nian couldn't help but look at the girl a few more times, thinking that she might not really be as unreliable as Mr. Tianruo said...

Dalian Temple suddenly shook his head: "There's probably nothing we can do. This scene seems to be well preserved, but the key information has long been erased..."

"Maybe he used some magic to deliberately disrupt the flow of spiritual energy around him, leaving no unique aura behind." Li Nian nodded, frowned and said helplessly: "It's hard to follow the clues to find the criminal. There's no other way."

Is the murderer a magician, or are there several people involved?

I don’t know. I really can’t tell anything from the information I have now.

This is a premeditated murder by evil spirits, monsters, Asuras, gods and Buddhas. Common sense doesn't work. If they wipe their ass cleanly after doing the deed, even Li Nian will have no way to track them down for a while.

The two exorcists present have already said so, one of whom is a well-known "prodigy"... Officer Takasaka also knows that it will be difficult to close the case, and frowns.

"What's even more difficult is that I don't know how the Nura Clan will react..."

The entire organization directly under the group was killed. This was undoubtedly a direct provocation to the behemoth entrenched in Chiba. How would the monster gang respond to this stimulation...

Officer Kousaka got a headache just thinking about it.

"We have to remind Kirino and Kyosuke to be careful recently..." Officer Kousaka muttered.
