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

It turns out that this guy is not a human, but a monster!

Li Nian's kick injured the opponent, breaking his false human disguise, leaking his breath, smelling some clues, and with his spiritual vision, he saw his true form.

"Everyone retreat! Retreat quickly! Retreat!"

When the man heard Li Nian reveal his true identity, he became more certain of his guess and convinced that Li Nian was indeed an exorcist. He seemed to be frightened and shouted loudly to retreat. He held his stomach and took the lead to stumble and run away. The two people standing in front of him, although they could not see the details, had been beaten by Li Nian and knew how terrifying he was. When they saw that the situation was not good, they followed him without hesitation.

Those who had not yet surrounded the crowd, when they saw the leading cadres being kicked away, they were so frightened that they ran away in panic. They were infected by the fear and became wary of Li Nian, so they retreated cautiously step by step.

Li Nian subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to chase after him, but after thinking about it, he calmed down and didn't chase after him.

For him, this was also an emergency. He didn't expect that there would be a monster among the people brought by the red-haired man.

It seemed that the sound of the spiritual power burning when strengthening the body was noticed by the other party, who mistakenly thought that Li Nian was an exorcist. He seemed to be very afraid of this and was scared away.

It's like a thief meeting the police...

The relationship between an exorcist and monsters is probably like that between a policeman and a thief.

Li Nian shook his head in a puzzled manner.

"Rat...rat...is that why they are called the Old Rat Group? They are actually a group led by a monster?"

At first I thought it was something high-end, but now it seems that it is just a weak organization that cannot be shown in public.

Monsters, are they all such weak creatures?

Chapter 28: The Secret Seen

"What's going on over there?"

"It looks like some hooligans are getting together to have a fight. It's scary. Should we call the police?"

"Did you see that person? He's wearing our school uniform? Was he picked on by someone outside the school? So pitiful..."

"Stupid, don't you see that this is clearly a counterattack? It seems like someone was kicked high up in the air just now. Look, all those people were scared away."

"Wait, that seems to be from our class..."

Li Nian caught these tiny sounds with his ears and glanced around.

Although the incident happened quickly and briefly, the commotion was quite big and inevitably attracted the attention of passers-by, who began to watch out of curiosity and pointed fingers at him as the person involved.

It was just after school and the location was at the school gate. Most of the people passing by were students from Sobu High School. Li Nian also noticed that several of his classmates from Group F, Grade 2, were looking at him in surprise, obviously recognizing his identity.

Oops.

Li Nian thought to himself that something was wrong.

Originally, when he saw those third graders coming with a group of people to cause trouble, he thought it was unavoidable, so he chose to confront them head-on without thinking too much. But now, he realized that he might have been a little reckless, and his decision was a little too hasty and hasty, which lost a lot of room for maneuver.

It's always a bad influence to have something like fighting with someone at the school gate exposed in public and seen by so many classmates.

It was also his fault that he temporarily neglected the fact that he was a student. There was no way to make up for it now. Li Nian could only quicken his pace and leave this place before being seen by more people.

What he didn't notice was that among the watching students, there was a girl who watched him leave.

She happened to be standing not far behind Li Nian when the accident happened. She noticed the situation from the moment he was surrounded by gangsters. She witnessed the entire incident from beginning to end at a close distance.

She witnessed Li Nian instantly moving in front of the tall man and kicking him more than ten meters away.

I even heard a few of their subsequent conversations.

"Monsters and...exorcists?"

She kept muttering the two mysterious nouns she heard, following Li Nian's hurriedly departing back, her wine-red eyes filled with curiosity.

……

……

Li Nian quickly left the scene and came to the bookstore. She tidied her slightly messy clothes at the door, deliberately put what had just happened behind her, and then pushed the door open.

This time, the person sitting at the counter was the owner of the bookstore himself. When he saw Li Nian come in, he smiled at him.

"I heard from Zhihui that it's Li Jun, right? Has he decided to come work for us?"

"Yes, boss. I reported here right after school today as instructed. Am I not late?"

"No, no, it's better to say that you came too early. You're in such a hurry. Don't you plan to meet up with your friends on the first day of school?"

"Boss, I'm panicking when you say that. Today is my first day of work. How dare I do that? Shouldn't I just come over after school to take over?" Li Nian said with a smile. He looked around as he walked over. He didn't see Takasago Chie, so he asked curiously, "Takasago-san hasn't come back yet?"

"Ji Hui has an appointment to go out with her classmates. She won't be back this afternoon."

Li Nian nodded in understanding.

The boss took off the apron he was wearing and handed it to him, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry to bother you to cover her shift. I have to go out for something later, so you might be the only one left to work. Is that okay?"

"No problem, I should do it."

Li Nian took the apron and tied it on. The boss waved for him to come in to the counter and taught him roughly how to use the cash register. He also briefly explained some precautions and said that Li Nian would not need to do much on the first day. He just needed to sit here and do some simple work like checking out and giving change to customers who brought books. He also needed to be polite to others and pay attention to possible petty theft and damage to books.

After hearing Li Nian’s answer “I understand”, the boss patted him on the shoulder and said “I’ll leave it to you”, then hurriedly left the bookstore.

The manager was so confident in entrusting the entire bookstore to a new temporary worker that Li Nian didn't know whether to say that she was trusted for no reason or that the manager was too careless.

But he certainly had no intention of betraying that trust.

Li Nian sat down on the chair and put on a gentle business smile.

It was time for school to be over, and there were more and more customers in the store, most of them were students, but even so, Li Nian's workload did not increase much.

This is a bookstore, not any other service industry. Just as the boss said, his main role as a temporary worker is to sit at the counter, check out customers, and watch the store. This is also within Li Nian's expectations. He enjoys his free time and naturally begins to observe the situation in the bookstore.

Not every student comes to the bookstore to buy books. A considerable number of them just look without buying. This is also the reason why although the number of customers has increased, Li Nian still has not done much.

These people were mainly distributed in the area where comics and novels were placed, and some boys ran to the adult area...

Li Nian looked at this scene, but he didn't feel any disgust. Instead, he felt a little nostalgic. It reminded him of his past, when he was a student with no pocket money in his pocket and had to rely on freeloading to read books.

But he is now a shop assistant and has the obligation to chase people away... Forget it, someone has to be at the counter. Li Nian felt that it would be difficult for him to get away, so he decided to turn a blind eye on the first day.

At this time, another new guest pushed the door open.

Li Nian subconsciously gave an obligatory welcome, but when he saw the person clearly, he forgot to speak for a moment.

She is a quiet beauty with waist-length black hair, a tall figure, and a white headband. She is dressed in a neat Sobu High School uniform and thin black tights under her short skirt, which adds a bit of temptation to her.

Li Nian recognized her at a glance as the third-year celebrity in the school, Kasumigaoka Utaha.

She is well-known in the school for her dazzling beauty and excellent grades. Any student of Sobu High School cannot be unaware of this beautiful and talented girl who has always occupied the top spot in the grade.

Then, her gaze shot straight over.

Eyes facing each other.

When she saw Li Nian, she was obviously stunned for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and stared at her for a long time.

Li Nian had a feeling about it. She didn't take it seriously at first, but after being stared at for a long time, she began to feel something was strange.

The customer's attention seemed to be on him? This made Li Nian feel confused, wondering what was so worthy of attention for an ordinary clerk like him.

Do you have any questions for the staff?

Li Nian was guessing.

As if she had made up her mind, the third-year student walked towards the counter.

=====

It’s time to transfer fire again... oh no, it’s time for a happy trade!

Two recommended books:

One is "The Arrival of the Saint" by Qingbai Lao, which he wrote with great confidence in response to the essay call in August. He has always been a breath of fresh air in the world of change, and I think this new book (pit) is also worth looking forward to.

Another new book is also written by an old salted fish: "Diary of the Growth of a Blood Clan Girl". This is also a typewriter that I can't even compare to... Although it is called a new book, it actually has 200,000 words on the shelves. If you are interested, you can go and take a look. If you like it, support it if you like it.

Chapter 29: Controversy

"Hello, are you an employee here?"

Kasumigaoka came to the counter and started talking to Li Nian. Li Nian thought that the customer was looking for some book, so he gave her a gentle business smile.

"Yes, hello, sir. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Xia Zhiqiu looked Li Nian up and down for a while and muttered something.

"…Looking at this expression, he looks like a different person."

"……what?"

Li Nian didn't understand and asked in confusion, but she shook her head and said don't worry about it, then stretched out her white and slender fingers to touch her chin.

"Looking for a book? Yes, let me think..."

It seemed that she had not thought about what kind of books she wanted to look for before entering the bookstore. Only after Li Nian asked her this did she start to think about it. After a while, she seemed to have thought of something on a whim and clapped her hands lightly.

"Oh, now I remember. So, is there any book of this type? That is, exorcist, or something of that nature."

As she spoke, she raised her eyes and stared at Li Nian with a smile. When she mentioned some of the words, her tone was obviously slowed down, as if to emphasize them.

Li Nian's eyebrows twitched slightly. When he heard the word "exorcist", his heart was slightly disturbed, reminding him of the incident when he encountered the rat demon.

At the same time, his intuition reacted again, and he sensed a clear intention directed at him in the girl's eyes. Once could be regarded as a coincidence, but twice it was a bit strange, which made him alert and suspicious. He felt that this woman seemed to be targeting him.

He was a little slow in answering, and every slight change in his expression was noticed by Kasumigaoka, causing her to narrow her eyes.

But Li Nian didn't show her doubts on her face in the end. She kept smiling and answered apologetically.

"I'm sorry, but I'm a student who just came here to work, so if you want to ask where in the store you can find any books on this subject, I can't tell you for now. However, I think you can look in the magazine section over there."

"…Then what magazines do you know?"

"I'm sorry, I haven't read many books on similar topics, so I can't give you any advice."

"You haven't read it? Why? Because you're not interested?"

"..."

She didn't give up and continued to ask questions, but they were no longer related to the book, but involved Li Nian's personal interests. This made Li Nian frown slightly, and he felt more and more that this girl was asking questions to him and there was something behind her conversation.

When Xia Zhiqiu saw Li Nian frowning, she suddenly smiled with a somewhat regretful expression.

"I see that the boys in my class seem to like this kind of subject matter. It seems that you are different. It seems that you can't give me any advice. What a pity."

After her explanation, Li Nian felt slightly relieved.

"…Is that so? I'm really sorry, but I really can't help you."

"Well, let's stop here for now..."

Did she give up on looking for books on exorcists? She grumbled in boredom, looking away from Li Nian and looking aimlessly at the bookshelves around her.

"But I didn't expect to come to a bookstore... It's a rare opportunity to look for books..."

As she spoke, after a while, she seemed to have discovered something. Her gaze stopped at a certain point and her eyes widened in surprise.

Li Nian noticed her reaction and followed her line of sight. He found that she was looking at the recommended bookshelf area specially designated next to the counter, so he introduced it to her.

"Over there are the recommended books in my store. Are there any customers interested?"

Needless to say, Kasumigaoka seemed very interested. She walked slowly over, bent down and put her face close to a book, and seemed to have noticed some individual works.

"What is the basis for the recommended books?"

Kasumigaoka's question made Li Nian stunned for a moment, but he didn't know how to answer. He had never heard the boss say what books were on the recommended bookshelf, so he could only answer based on common sense.

“…It should be sales.”

After hearing this, Kasumigaoka showed a hint of sneer on her face for some reason, and gently picked up a book in front of her.

"So you're saying that this book can also be considered a bestseller?"

Li Nian took a look and recognized the cover of the book in her hand at once. It was the first volume of "Love Metronome".

Not to mention other works, this is the one Li Nian has read and is impressed by its excellence. Hearing Kasumigaoka's sneering voice, he felt that there seemed to be some disdain and contempt for the book, and he felt a little unhappy.
