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

"You still have to write when you go back. You're so hardworking... By the way, how is your manuscript going? How much have you completed?" An Yi walked behind Li Nian and looked at his computer screen curiously.

"About 40,000 words."

"So fast! It's only been two days?!" An Yi was really shocked.

“It’s considered normal speed.”

Li Nian has already written a lot of content. After returning home tonight, he will work hard for a while and will probably be able to finish the more than 50,000 words of the main text, which is about half of the workload. It won’t take long if he continues like this... To be precise, he will be able to finish the revision of the first volume in about three days and give Ms. Machida an explanation... Although it is called revision, it is actually equivalent to rewriting a book.

An Yi recalled that it seemed that Li Nian only spent a few days to write the first draft, and smiled bitterly.

“Is this what is called a genius writer?”

“…No, I’m really not the genius type.”

After hearing what An Yi said, Li Nian shook his head.

He thought about many things along the way, and wrote down every word himself. Perhaps to outsiders, his speed was terrifying, but only Li Nian knew how many thoughts were contained in it. To say that he was a genius writer who had a lot of ideas all day long and wrote as smoothly as flowing water was just a misunderstanding. His writing process was the same as that of ordinary authors. He arranged it step by step from the outline to the details, and when he started writing the main text, he filled in the words bit by bit from beginning to end. The factors that enhanced his efficiency were mainly because his clear thinking and speed of thinking were far beyond ordinary people. Thanks to this, he could better call on his more than 20 years of life experience and relatively rich writing experience...

"Oh my, here it comes again. You are too modest." An Yi smiled and waved his hand, not taking Li Nian's clarification to heart at all.

Li Nian shook his head and was too lazy to explain too much. It was a fact that many factors combined together enabled him to write works quickly and well. He was able to achieve this at such a young age. Maybe it had nothing to do with his own thoughts, but in the eyes of outsiders, he was definitely a genius.

Li Nian didn't care how he was called. He was no longer at the age where he would become elated by a few words of praise from others. He felt that the only important thing was the final result.

"Anyway, if we continue at this rate, I will soon be able to finish revising the first volume and deal with Ms. Machida's situation. Then I will immediately start writing the script for your project, so don't worry."

"This is really reassuring news... But I think you don't have to rush so much. Although I am very touched that you care about my plan, I really don't want you to lower the quality of your work because of rushing." An Yi said seriously.

"I'm not in a hurry. I'm just writing normally, so I can guarantee the quality. I've said it before, given my efficiency, there's more than enough time, and it will be finished in a few days." Li Nian moved his neck and made a clicking sound. "After finishing the manuscript, the work on the library will be over, and I will have plenty of time to devote to your project."

The revision of the first volume is indeed urgent and needs to be completed as a priority, but after it is completed, Li Nian does not need to respond to the Phoenix Library for the time being, including the creation of the second volume, which does not need to be put on the agenda before the publication of the first volume. It is not that Li Nian wants to slack off, but even if he continues to write anxiously and submits the manuscript of the second volume immediately after the publication of the first volume, the second volume will have to be published at least one month after the publication of the first volume. The same goes for the third and fourth volumes. With his efficiency, there will always be a lot of blank time.

The publishing of light novels is not like the online novel writing that Li Nian used to do. The publishing of physical books requires careful proofreading and long-term sales in conjunction with publicity. It is necessary to consider all aspects of the publishing process and even market response. Publishing one book a month is still the fastest. The general publishing speed is one book every three to four months.

There was no sense of self-boasting in Li Nian's plain words, and An Yi was once again ashamed of his friend's efficiency.

"I-Is that so? That's good. Such terrifying efficiency... Speaking of efficiency, Gogen-san seems to be doing well today as well."

The two looked at Wu Geng. In the past few hours, she seemed to have been influenced by Li Nian and gradually entered an excellent working state. Now that Li Nian had stopped, she was still typing non-stop, at a fast speed, muttering strange words like "Woohoo, come and bow down under my pomegranate skirt and lick my feet, stinky devil"...

Li Nian's eyebrows jumped when he heard this. According to the outline, this guy was writing a male exorcist's story about a female demon king. So who was he referring to? For some reason, he felt a strange chill...

Li Nian patted her shoulder gently. She froze as if startled, then looked back at him unhappily.

"What? Don't you see that others are in great shape, stinky devil?"

"You have exposed the fact that you regard me as your imaginary enemy in an instant... I am not interested in disturbing your delusions. I just think I should remind you that if you don't go back at this time, your uncle and aunt will be worried, right?"

"what?"

As if he suddenly noticed the time, he looked up at the clock, and then he screamed, "Oh no! It's already this late! I didn't notice it at all. My mother is going to scold me."

Just then, a cell phone rang, coming from Wu Geng's pocket. She took out her smartphone, which was covered in a pure black protective case, and took a look at the incoming call. A rare expression of fear appeared on her face, and she answered the call carefully.

"Hello, Mom, this is Liuli..."

Then she immediately put the phone away, and could vaguely hear a woman's angry roar from the other end of the phone: "What time is it and you're still outside? The meal is ready and you haven't come back yet? Are you letting your parents and sisters wait for you at the dinner table? I never taught you that girls can stay out at night without your parents' permission!"

Sure enough, he came to urge her to go home.

Speaking of which, Wu Geng's family is Li Nian's tenant. I once met all of them at a dinner party at her invitation. In addition to her parents, there are two lovely sisters. It is a happy big family. Now it seems that after get off work, Wu Geng's parents will return home to prepare dinner for their children, and there will also be corresponding threshold regulations for Wu Geng and her two sisters as their children.

Looking at Wu Geng who kept apologizing into the phone while hurriedly packing his things, Li Nian smiled gently and exchanged glances with An Yi.

"It's time for me to go back... Where's Kato-san?"

The girl over there was lying on the sofa, kicking her legs and reading a comic book leisurely. When she heard Li Nian's question, she just responded lazily, "Yes~~~", then closed the book and slowly got up.

"Well, today's club activities are over." An Yi declared, and then smiled at Li Nian, "How about we go back together after such a long time?"

So everyone left the club activity room and walked home together.

An Yi was walking in front, chatting with Gogen.

After Wu Geng started writing the book, An Yi was actually curious and went online to read the chapters she uploaded. Although he knew that Wu Geng was writing a novel before, she seemed to feel that the previous manuscripts were not good enough and was very secretive about it and never mentioned it, so An Yi didn't know the specific content. Now that Wu Geng has sorted out the outline, she has started writing a new book and uploaded the main text to the website. After taking a look, An Yi found that the first chapter was quite good. In addition, Wu Geng seemed to be writing about the same subject as Li Nian, and even the beginning of the story is very similar. It seems that the two of them started writing on the same theme. This made An Yi more interested, so he started chatting with Wu Geng about the subsequent content.

Wu Geng originally had little interest in An Yi, and had no intention of spoiling the contents of the story. He started the conversation with little interest, and chatted in a disjointed manner. However, An Yi seemed to have understood a certain plot that Wu Geng had buried in the main text of the first chapter, and inadvertently led the topic to Wu Geng's favorite unpopular anime. This immediately aroused Wu Geng's interest. After chatting for a few sentences, they discovered that they both liked the same unpopular anime, and they immediately opened up and started chatting enthusiastically.

"In fact, after understanding the meaning of those storyboards, I suddenly felt that the originally obscure plot could be understood, and the whole animation became very interesting! In addition, the budget and construction period seemed to be quite sufficient, and the production pictures were very sophisticated at the time, so I noticed it all at once and chose to follow it. In the end, I didn't regret it. The ending was very good and it was very touching!"

"That's right, don't you really understand the essence of life? I didn't expect that you look stupid, but surprisingly you are quite intelligent!"

"Look, look stupid? Never mind... But it's really surprising that you noticed such an unpopular work, Gogen-san. Is it because you watch a lot of anime?" An Yi asked curiously.

"Huh, you didn't see that?" Gogen proudly raised his buttocks and said proudly, "I'm not bragging, but I'm as experienced as Amaki-san. I'm knowledgeable in all aspects, but I just don't bother to show them to ignorant mortals."

"So that's how it is... In fact, I have a vague feeling from your daily words and actions that Gogen-san is of the same generation as us. In that case, let me confirm your strength as a fellow otaku! - Let's start with the most basic question! When is the Summer Comi usually held!?"

"Every year from the second Friday to the Sunday of August... I have participated in both summer and winter comi countless times. I am not just a customer or tourist, but also a creator! So please don't insult me ​​with such low-level questions, okay?"

"I see... I'm sorry, since you've participated in various activities as a creator, may I ask what the name of the activity you usually use is?"

"I'm afraid you'll be scared if I tell you this, but I'm well-known in the human world as the Fallen Holy Black Cat!"

An Yi seemed to have heard of this title before, and was shocked for a moment: "W-what?! You are the one who can easily overcome the highest difficulty of any game? The legendary Chiba master [Fallen Saint Black Cat] who has set various gorgeous clearance records, is undefeated in the field of fighting games, and has won many world-class awards?! I have heard of you for a long time! I am so sorry!"

"Same here, the name of the famous blogger "TAKI" is also well-known in the industry. Your comments on various games, novels, animations and music works are pertinent, accurate and full of enthusiasm. I actually browsed your blog and found many interesting works."

Li Nian was the last one to come. She was a little surprised to see Wu Geng and An Yi chatting animatedly, and even becoming quite sympathetic to each other, to the point where they started to flatter each other commercially. Then she smiled with satisfaction.

"Isn't this a good way to communicate with others... But after all, it's Aki, so it's not strange that we suddenly exchanged vibes."

Normally, Wu Geng is rarely seen chatting with people other than herself. She is a typical loner in the class, which is actually not good because her social skills are too poor. Now that she can chat with An Yi, Li Nian is quite relieved.

In fact, it's not just Amyi. It can be felt that after joining this club, through communication with everyone, this child is gradually opening up his heart and has become much more energetic than before.

It would be nice to make more friends.

Looking at Li Nian's profile as she silently looked at the two people in front of her with a gentle gaze, Kato suddenly said.

"Student Li Nian, I actually have a question I want to ask you."

"Hmm? Kato, you ask."

"Student Li Nian, are you an exorcist?"

"..."

Li Nian paused and turned around in shock.

Kato was not looking at him but was watching the TV on the roadside. The news was reporting a spiritual disaster that occurred somewhere. It seemed that this was what reminded him of this question and he asked it casually.

She spoke softly, and the question was not heard by the two people in front.

It's possible to get away with it here... But Li Nian hesitated for a moment, and did not deny it in a hurry, but asked back.

"Why would Kato think so?"

"Because classmate Li Nian... you have changed a lot since the summer vacation. Your athletic and academic abilities have suddenly become very strong. You often skip classes for a day after receiving a phone call. Gogen-san, Kasumigaoka-san, and Hiratsuka-sensei treat you strangely. You are also involved with classmate Dairenji. Plus, I saw the note on your phone that said Onmyoji... so I can't help but think this way."

"...Have you noticed everything?" Li Nian looked at Kato carefully and found that this girl, who was usually lazy, often silent and had little sense of presence, seemed to be observing the people around her carefully.

If that's the case, there's nothing you can do if you're discovered.

"If you don't want to answer, you don't have to answer."

"…No, I will answer that, and the answer is you guessed it."

"……Yeah?"

"You're not that surprised?"

"Yes, I feel like if it's you, Li Nian, then there's nothing strange about it."

"Is it because I usually behave strangely?" Li Nianqi asked.

"No..." Kato thought for a moment before answering, "I just feel that whether he is an exorcist or not, Li Nian is still Li Nian."

"..." Li Nian was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Kato to say that.

"Or will Li Nian change after I know his true identity?"

"...No." Li Nian shook his head and then smiled: "Then please treat me as usual."

"What are you talking about?" Kato tilted his head: "I have no intention of changing my attitude, so I just asked casually. You don't have to take it to heart, Li Nian."

"I'm still a little surprised, Kato-san, you actually paid close attention to your surroundings. Not just my business, but everyone else's as well."

"Because there is nothing else I can do, I want to offer a little help when needed... Or is this not a good idea?"

"...No, it's nothing bad."

Chapter 266: Nura Rikuo Finds Yuzhang

This is the new office building rented by Yinshen Xingbu Yuzhang. It has been tidied up in the past few days and will be used as a company's office to conduct business.

Sitting on the big chair in the office, Yu Zhang was dressed in a black suit, looking like a businessman. The whole office was decorated magnificently, from the paint to the furniture, all were new and expensive, exuding a strong modern atmosphere... Because of this, the tall figure dressed in kimono standing in front of his desk seemed a little out of place in the environment.

The hair seemed to be naturally flying in the air, and he was wearing a blue haori over a black kimono with a big word "fear" written on it. The person coming was none other than the leader of the Nura group, Nura Rikuo?

He came suddenly and no one noticed when he entered the office building until there was a knock on Yuzhang's office door. The young master of the Shikoku Eighty-Eight Demons Night Parade, who was working solemnly in front of the computer behind the desk, thought that it was his subordinates who had something to report, so he invited them in. The smiling commander-in-chief of the Nura group pushed the door open and said excuse me, only then did people know that Nura Rikuo had come uninvited.

Yu Zhang was surprised at first by Nura Rikuo's visit, then frowned in displeasure. But in the end, he smiled, put down his work, and stood up to greet the guest.

"Isn't this Lord Lu Sheng? You are so busy, how come you have time to come here without informing the servants? Please take a seat."

At the same time, he glanced and signaled the old man next to him to let down his guard. After receiving the young master's gaze, the old man stood up and nodded, then he put down his hand on the handle of the long sword hanging on his waist and turned to prepare tea for the guests.

As a guard, the old man was entrusted by Lord Inosuke Keibu to protect Yuzhang. Naturally, he should be on guard when outsiders enter, but at this moment, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. In fact, he was only on guard at the beginning. After seeing that the visitor was the third generation of Nura clan, Nura, he only felt helpless in his heart.

It seems that all the members of the Nura crew, young and old, are of the same character in that they always show up without warning.

With his hands tucked inside his kimono, Nura Rikuo smiled and first bowed slightly to apologize to Yuzhang.

"Sorry, sorry. I know it's a bit against the rules to disturb Lord Yuzhang without notifying him, but I just came here to ask a small question. I don't want to make a big fuss. I'm too lazy to bother, so I just came here directly. Lord Inugami over there doesn't need to prepare tea for me. I don't plan to sit for long. I know that the Shikoku 88 Demons Night Parade is very busy with the opening of the industry recently, so I don't plan to disturb you any more. I'll leave after asking."

As he said this, he had no intention of sitting down and just stood there, as if he really intended to leave after asking questions and not stay any longer.

Seeing this, Yu Zhang did not sit down, but stood up and asked with a smile: "Master Lu Sheng, please tell me everything I know."

"I said I had something to ask Master Yuzhang, but actually I wanted to ask you about the three mages you brought with you when you visited my home the other day. I wonder where they are and whether they are with you?"

As Nura Rikuo spoke, he stared at Inagami Keibu Yusho's face, observing every change in his expression.

Yu Zhang was stunned. Nura Rikuo wanted to find those three guys? What was going on? He couldn't figure it out for a moment, and at this time, he shook his head at this question.

"I'm sorry, those three aren't with me right now."

Seeing his confused expression and not doing anything, Nura Rikuo narrowed his eyes slightly and asked again.

"Then, could you introduce me to him?"

"...There is no way to do this. To be honest, I have no means to contact those three people. To be honest, those three people are not my subordinates. I just work with them under the command of Master Yuyuko. I took the initiative to ask the mage to accompany me when I was invited to mediate between the two parties. As for normal times, both parties act on their own and do not interfere with each other."

As expected, thinking this in his heart, Nura Rikuo asked with a smile: "In this case, I would also like to ask you what Lord Yuzhang knows about those three people."

"I only know that the three were led by the mage, and the other two usually just followed the mage silently. Lord Yuyuko thinks highly of this mage and seems to have other plans for him."

"Oh, I see... By the way, what's the name of that wizard?"

"My last name is Fujiki."

"Fujiki...right." Nura Rikuo thought for a moment and wrote down the name.

Nura Rikuo suddenly appeared here and asked Yu Zhang about the three mages. It was a bit abrupt. After answering Nura Rikuo's questions, Yu Zhang saw that he was silent. Then he asked in confusion: "I wonder what Lord Rikuo wants to see those three people?"

It’s nothing—Nura Rikuo wanted to say this to get away with it.

If Yinshen Keibu Yuzhang's reactions and words so far were not false, and he really didn't know that the Kanto Great Ape would be exterminated, and he was not on the same page with those three people, then the Shikoku Eighty-Eight Demons Night Parade should have nothing to do with that incident - Nura Rikuo originally thought so, and came here just to find the three wizards. He guessed that they would not be so easy to find, so he came here just to try his luck. If he couldn't find them, it would be fine. He didn't intend to destroy the newly established cooperative relationship with the Shikoku Eighty-Eight Demons Night Parade, so he didn't plan to explain it to Yuzhang in detail.

But Nura Rikuo suddenly thought that since we still don't know the motive of those guys in doing this, maybe Yuzhang would know something.

He looked at the jade seal.

Although the young master of the Shikoku Eighty-Eight Demons Night Parade clearly stated that he worked under Yuyuko Kitsune and respected the fox as his master, his fundamental position was obviously on the side of the interests of the Shikoku Eighty-Eight Demons Night Parade. He had no hostility towards the Nura Clan and had been very cooperative so far, answering whatever was asked. He was quite straightforward.

Then maybe he would know something about why those three people took such an offensive action as killing all the members of the Kanto Great Ape Society, the Nura Clan.

"Lord Rikuo?" Seeing that Nura Rikuo didn't say anything, Yu Zhang asked again.

So Nura Rikuo changed his mind and spoke.
