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

"I believe you, and I hope you won't betray my trust." The spirit sword turned into particles in his hand and disappeared. Li Nian pressed the girl's head and gently pushed her back to Yato. Then he lowered his hands and withdrew from the fighting state. He regained his relaxed look and said lazily, "The sword in your hand seems to be a living being with its own thoughts and opinions, but it is a real sword. It will cut whatever you point at. As the sword's owner, your good and evil deeds will determine whether it is a divine sword or a demon sword. If you really care about your [family], I suggest you keep this in mind."

Chapter 342: A Simple Method to Collect the Thoughts of All Living Beings

The sword was sheathed and his aura became calm. Temporarily, since Li Nian had withdrawn from the combat state, he naturally suppressed his murderous intent towards Yatoshen.

Fei also noticed this and was slightly stunned, but immediately shouted "Yato", reminding him to quickly transform himself into a weapon and hold a knife in his hand in case of any emergency.

Yedou did not do so, but remained kneeling, and then bowed to Li Nian: "Thank you for your teachings, Yedou will remember it in his heart."

It is true that Li Nian originally came to hunt down Ye Dou, but now he no longer has the interest to do so.

One reason is that he, Li Nian, won and put the knife on the enemy's neck... Although the means used were a bit dishonorable, it doesn't matter. Li Nian has never been a person who cares much about the means.

Actually, that attack was meant to be a test, but Li Nian really didn't think that this Yato god would protect the person behind him. It's true that Li Nian threw the knife to lock Yato and a few idiots who were watching in a line, but of course he was not really going to kill them. He appeared behind Yato, and he had calculated that Yato would dodge, so he planned to take his thrown knife, change its trajectory and chase him. By then, the technique formed by the terrifying energy swirling on the knife, as long as it did not miss, could at least explode the terrifying power when Yato had to block it and break his defense.

Yato's unexpected behavior made Li Nian see clearly that Yato was not a bad person by nature. He could see a person's true nature in the face of life and death. Yato's first decision was to save the people, which was more convincing than anything else. He knew that being a god who protected all living beings was not just empty talk for Yato, and this became the second reason why Li Nian was willing to let him go.

The third reason is again, because he won.

It's always frustrating not to win a fight, but it's good if you win, even if you used some dishonorable means...but it doesn't matter, it's good if you win!

He even wanted to use this method next time. It must be said that the hostage warfare method is indeed very effective for decent people like them. It is so easy to force the opponent to consume extra energy to protect the people around him, or to take the initiative to step into an obvious trap... Well, Li Nian only thought about this kind of rebellious villain idea. In fact, it was still very unpleasant that he could not defeat the God of War head-on and kill him.

"You'd better not give me a reason to kill you again."

After saying this with emotion, Li Nian turned around and walked back.

Thinking that Li Nian was about to leave, Ye Dou frowned and called him instead: "Wait, can you tell me about the faith that I rely on for survival?"

"Isn't this what I'm doing for you?"

"What?" Yato was puzzled.

Li Nian walked towards the group of stupid young men who had been screaming and shouting. When others realized that the spiritual disaster was about to happen and ran away, they took out their cell phones to record the whole process.

When the young men saw Li Nian coming, they were obviously targeting them and were walking towards them with their eyes fixed on them. Just now they were shouting with excitement because they had witnessed and captured a scene that they rarely see in normal days. Now when they saw Li Nian walking towards them, they suddenly became afraid and took a few steps back in fear.

"Hey, you guys." Li Nian called them.

"Me, we? Uh, what's the matter?" The leading young man quickly hid his phone and asked with a forced smile.

"Do you think it looks good? Is it taken completely?" Li Nian asked with a smile. The young men who heard the warning finally regained their senses and turned around and ran away.

Li Nian took a step forward and appeared beside them. He put his arms around the necks of the two people behind him and said the word "freeze". The spiritual power of the words that came out of his mouth froze the last young man who heard the word in place, keeping him in a posture that was about to run but not yet running.

The two men were frightened by Li Nian, who was holding their necks and approaching them like an acquaintance. They dared not move. At a close distance, they heard Li Nian's grim tone add: "You bunch of idiots, aren't you afraid of death?"

They suddenly remembered that when this man had just launched that brilliant and gorgeous attack, it seemed that he was targeting them. They knew something was wrong, their bodies stiffened, cold sweats broke out, and they felt the danger.

"Excuse me, do you want to..."

"I~want~to~kill~you..." Li Nian pretended to be fierce and said word by word.

“Aiya——!” Several grown men suddenly screamed in fear like girls, which hurt Li Nian’s ears. He lost the mood to joke and shouted impatiently: “Stop screaming! I’m just joking.”

"Ah, what? Are you kidding?" The screams stopped abruptly, and the young man who had filmed the whole process with his mobile phone turned around with tears in his eyes: "Are you really kidding? You won't kill us, right?"

"There are always ignorant idiots who like to watch and take pictures. Let me make you imagine the possibility of being photographed to death if you really encounter a vicious criminal. Are you scared now? Will you dare to do it next time?"

“I don’t dare anymore. I don’t dare anymore.” Including the one who was frozen, the other three onlookers shook their heads.

He said this, but Li Nian didn't know what he would do in the future. However, he had fulfilled his duty to remind him. If he did it again and killed himself, Li Nian would not show any mercy.

"Excuse me, can you let us go?" the young man said cautiously, gently pushing Li Nian's strong arm that was still around his neck.

"Huh?!" Li Nian snorted coldly and exerted a little force to show off his biceps that were holding up his clothes.

The young man didn't dare to move anymore, so he withdrew his hand and asked, "What else do you want?"

"Don't play dumb with me, give me your phone."

The young man wanted to cry but had no tears. If he had known he would be held accountable, he would not have been so stupid as to stand here and shoot the video. He trembled and handed over the phone in his pocket: "I understand, I understand. Your portrait rights have been violated, right? Can you not smash my phone if I delete the video immediately? I bought it with the salary I saved from working for several months."

"I didn't intend to smash your phone, so stop shaking it like a sieve. Don't worry, I'm a decent person who won't damage people's property."

"Yes, yes, you are a decent person." The young man agreed with a wry smile, thinking that no one would believe him, as if he didn't hear the two men enthusiastically discussing how to kill someone.

"Let's see how you filmed it." Li Nian took the phone. The young man unlocked it tactfully. On the screen that prompted the completion of the recording, Li Nian directly opened the video and watched the entire video clip. During the period, no one dared to move or speak, and Yadou was also watching in confusion from behind.

The little girl named Fei was beside him, looking at Li Nian's back, and whispered: "Yedou, why don't you stab him from behind? I think this is an opportunity."

"I don't want to kill him, and he doesn't want to kill me. There's no need to fight anymore." Yato shook his head and said, "Besides, I need his help."

"…Yato really intends to stop killing people?"

"I think what he said makes sense. I want to become a god who protects all living things. I decided to only kill the right people in the future."

"What if Father asked you to kill someone? Is it someone you think shouldn't be killed?"

"Then I won't do it again."

"…Father will be angry."

"..."

"Kill him, Yato. We don't need his help, and you don't need to become a god who protects the world. You are the war god Yato, you kill for a living, you kill for your nature, and you respond to prayers to kill. Why do you have to think so much? Didn't we all get through this before? Being free, isn't that good? I think it's good."

"I feel bad."

"…Father will be angry."

"...Even if he's angry, I won't change." Ye Dou looked at Li Nian's back and said firmly: "This is an opportunity, I must seize it at any cost."

Over there, Li Nian was watching the video attentively.

The footage shot by the young man was relatively complete, recording the entire clip from the appearance of Yadou to the time when Li Nian chased him up to the present. The most amazing moment was when Li Nian launched the attack. A crystal clear spiritual sword was shining brightly above the ice sky, extremely gorgeous. Li Nian, holding the sword, stood like a javelin, his clothes fluttering, and his demeanor outstanding... Li Nian couldn't help but sigh that he was actually quite photogenic. Just looking at this scene made him feel extremely handsome, but his smile was a bit hideous, making him a real villain.

Of course, the focus is on the following part, when Yatoshin swung his sword and the sword light, like a streak of light, hit the stream of light transformed by Li Nian's sword and suddenly exploded, with air waves rolling and light scattering. It was particularly shocking to watch, especially since the young man was standing behind Yatoshin. The scene he saw was like seeing a hero take action, intercept the attack of the villains, and successfully protect innocent people.

Li Nian watched the video carefully and couldn't help but sigh: "This clip is shot quite well, it looks quite gorgeous, but why does it make me look like a villain? Sigh, there is obviously no need for me to be a more decent person. Is this the power of video editing to reverse right and wrong?"

This is the complete video without editing or filters. Your entire action is just that of a villain, okay? - The young man tried his best to hold back his complaints and didn't say anything, for fear of being beaten.

After watching the video, Li Nian approached the young man and asked, "Brother, what are you going to do with this video?"

"Delete it after you shoot it. Delete it after you shoot it."

"Who are you kidding? Tell the truth."

“…post on TikTek and earn some traffic.”

"Are you also a short video blogger? How many followers do you have?"

"Just over a million." The young man seemed a little proud when he mentioned this.

Oh, is this the internet celebrity with millions of fans that can be seen everywhere on the street? Li Nian didn't think so, but he wanted this person to help him with something, so he smiled and praised him: "Awesome, brother."

"It's just so-so..." The young man was a little too proud of himself when he was praised, but he suddenly realized how dangerous the person who was trying to get close to him was. He regained his caution and asked in confusion, "No, you, why are you asking this?"

"You can use this video to post it."

"Huh?! Is it okay?!" The young man was shocked. He thought that Li Nian mentioned recording the video and took away his mobile phone in order to destroy the evidence.

"You just have to delete the boring clips, mosaic my face, cut out all the audio of the dialogue and replace it with other background music, not a single word can be leaked, understand?"

Well, this villain really wanted to destroy the evidence and distance himself from the matter.

The young man nodded continuously: "I understand, brother, I understand."

"I know you don't understand." Li Nian would never believe a stranger's promise. He believed in Yato because of his convincing words and deeds. He was stupid to believe in a "short video blogger who edited videos to distort the truth". Anyway, he still used the word spirit to curse "[You must do what you promised, otherwise you will have to buy a pair of bear children's underwear on Monday morning, run to the playground of Sobu High School, take off all your clothes, put a fat ci on your head, and run around the playground twenty times while shouting: I like elementary school girls under ten years old the most!], okay, the curse is complete."

"What a vicious curse!" The young man finally couldn't help but complain: "Don't even think about running twenty laps. I will be caught by the security guards and sent to the police station before I finish two laps! This kind of social death is more terrifying than death! Can't you just let me die?"

"How could I let you die? A good person like me would never do such a bad thing as harming innocent people. The content of the curse is a bit light, if you don't believe me, you can try it." Li Nian looked at him expectantly, and even encouraged him to violate the words and trigger the curse: "I actually want to see that perverted scene, it will definitely be very interesting."

"Social death is much more terrifying than real death! I believe it, I believe it, brother. I will definitely post a video and edit you out cleanly, highlighting your glorious, great and upright image."

When the young man heard Li Nian say that, he clearly felt a chill entering his mind. He knew that there was really a curse on him. He felt disgusted by the content of this curse that made people's life worse than death. He became more and more convinced that Li Nian, who did such a thing, was a bad person. He was really scared at this time, and regretted even more that he had to stand here and shoot a video to find trouble, bringing unnecessary disaster upon himself.

"That's not necessary. There has to be a villain to set off the hero, but the one who should be shown as glorious, great and upright is not me, but that person." Li Nian pointed at Ye Dou over there: "For a short video, just keep the essence. If you want me to watch it, just cut a clip of me fighting with that person, and focus on showing his great image of protecting all living beings, understand?"

"I understand. I really understand this." The young man thought, isn't this the fact?

"I've already thought of a title for you: [Shock! This is the god who protects all living beings? His name is——] Ah, leave some suspense in the title, but make sure to make his name clear at the end." Li Nian pointed to Yadou over there, made a solemn introduction gesture, and cleared his throat: "This is the God of War, Yadou!"

The young man looked at Yato. Although he didn't know what these two people who were obviously related to the spiritual disaster were doing, he still thought seriously about how to edit the video according to Li Nian's requirements out of professional ethics. He felt that some clips should be added and said, "The content is a bit empty. Can we let that, uh, martial arts god Yato? Anyway, pose, say a few lines, and add something. For example, continue with the fight scene just now, let him turn around and ask me [Are you hurt?], and then I ask [Who are you?], and he answers me [I am the martial arts god Yato], and then turns around and says to you [Thief, don't even think about being violent in front of me], wouldn't the picture come out?"

Li Nian thought about the scene and praised: "As expected of a professional, his imagination is beyond ordinary people."

"It's not that extraordinary..."

"They really think I'm a thief. How can their imagination not be beyond the ordinary?"

"..." The young man kept reminding himself that he could not complain, he could not complain, he had to cooperate with him in acting, otherwise he would be forced to become a loli-obsessed pervert known to the world and die once.

"Hey, Yatoshin." Li Nian did what he thought and called out to Wushin who was watching in confusion, "For the sake of your faith, come over and help pose for the video."

Li Nian threw the phone back to the young man and asked casually, "By the way, what's your name?"

"…My name is Marusue Haru."

Chapter 343: Those who are admired by sentient beings must be supervised by sentient beings

When Li Nian asked the young man's name, his two friends heard it and looked at each other frantically, but the guy didn't notice and still stupidly gave his name, which made the two of them hold their foreheads.

Why tell this evil person your name? Do you think others don't remember you enough? Don't have a deep enough relationship with you? Don't cause you enough trouble?

Sure enough, Li Nian listened, nodded and said, "Okay, I remember you."

Marumatsu realized that he seemed to have done something stupid, and his face turned pale. He quickly made amends: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't remember me..."

"How can it be okay?" Li Nian asked strangely, "How can I hold you accountable if I don't remember your name?"

When he heard Li Nian asking his name with the intention of pursuing accountability, Wanmo knew that he had indeed done a stupid thing. He learned his lesson and decided not to speak casually from then on.

In fact, Li Nian just asked casually and didn't really want to hold him accountable. He said this just to scare this guy. He was quite sure that this young man would not really dare to violate the curse, disobey his warning, and risk social death by leaving something that should not be left in the released video.

If he dared to disobey the warning, Li Nian could only respect him as a man and send him running naked.

He asked about Marumot's name only because it was always impolite to call someone "hey, hey", but he didn't intend to really get to know him, so after hearing Marumot say his name, Li Nian didn't intend to exchange names. After hearing the name, he nodded and let him prepare for the filming.

Yedou was confused, but he followed Li Nian's call and came over. Fei followed behind him, looking at Li Nian with caution, not knowing what this person was up to, but Yedou had already made up his mind to cooperate with this person even if it meant going against his father. Fei didn't plan to say anything more about it, and only asked Li Nian in a not very happy voice: "Hey, can you really help Yedou collect faith?"

"It's not me, it's him." Li Nian pointed at Maru Mo Qing who was holding his phone over there: "He is an internet celebrity with millions of fans... uh, you may not understand the word internet celebrity, it's probably a god who has many more followers than your master Yadou?"

"What?" Yato was quite surprised. He looked at Marumatsu fiercely with a look of awe on his face. "This is actually a god whose faith is more solid and vast than mine... I didn't realize it. I thought he was just an ordinary mortal. I am shortsighted."

Even Fei had a half-believing and half-doubting expression. She turned her gaze to Marumatsu and looked at this ordinary mortal. She didn't see anything in him that looked like such a great god.

Li Nian didn't expect the two to take it seriously, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm just making an analogy. This Wanmo is really just an ordinary mortal... By the way, don't you know how to print flyers? Don't you know anything about the Internet?"

"What is Sakura Tenet?"

Li Nian understood what Yadou asked and raised her hand to signal him to stop explaining. She shook her head and said, "Okay, no need to say more. I already understand that your knowledge is as old as your ancient costumes. It's a pity that you still know how to print flyers."

“…The believers taught me to print flyers.”

Yato God, who has been walking in the steel jungle, does not have knowledge that is still at the level of hundreds of years ago, but his knowledge is updated and it is really difficult for him to keep up with the rapid changes of the times. The Internet is just a new thing developed in the last decade, and it has nothing to do with him. After all, he does not even have a mobile phone. He usually lives a life of eating and sleeping in the open. The God who learned to distribute flyers was told by a devout old man among his few believers.

Yato couldn't figure out how this mortal could help him collect faith, and asked Li Nian in confusion: "Since he is just a mortal, how can he help me gain faith? Is it related to him being... that [Internet celebrity with millions of fans]?"

"Yes, let's put it this way. He can easily spread your name to his millions of fans by posting a video... Well, whether these millions of fans are fake or not is another matter, but basically the spread effect of his posting a video is at least equivalent to you sending out 10,000 flyers and praying a thousand times. This is the convenience of the Internet."

Yes, Li Nian wanted to spread the name of Yato through the Internet. There is nothing more convenient than the Internet to promote something these days. If he wants to focus the thoughts of all living beings on this god, then using the Internet to directly spread the existence of Yato is the simplest way. Use an eye-catching video to make people remember the existence of Yato. With hundreds of thousands of views, the publicity effect will definitely be better than the tens of thousands of meaningless flyers he distributes everywhere.

Yato's eyes widened: "Sakura Tenet, how powerful..."

Yato also understood that the key to spreading his divine name was to be with this young man, so he bowed his head to Marusue and said, "Thank you for helping me with this big favor."

In Marumue's eyes, Yato was the benevolent god who resolutely stepped forward to protect the people. Although he didn't understand the conversation between the two, he still hurriedly returned the greeting, not daring to accept such respect from Yato: "No, no, no, it's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."

Originally, Marumatsu was forced to do this by Li Nian, the evil man, who cursed and threatened him. Although he didn't dare to say anything, he was of course feeling indignant and troubled in his heart. Although his original intention was to attract a lot of traffic for himself by taking the gorgeous scene of the two men fighting, he was threatened to do this and there were many requirements and restrictions, which was really a bit aggrieved. Now, he was thanked so solemnly by the "good god Yato" who protected him, which really gave him a sense of responsibility.

He didn't understand things like gods, names, and beliefs, but Marumatsu understood that Li Nian's instructions were to help promote this good man named Yato. He felt that such an idol should be introduced to the public. A good man who was willing to stand up and protect all living beings would definitely be able to establish correct values.

"Okay, all you need to do is strike a pose in front of the camera and say your lines... Oh, and it's best to bring your knife." Marumatsu prepared for the filming, and while speaking, he secretly looked at Fei behind Yato. He could see that the knife in Yato's hand seemed to be transformed from this little girl.

Fei was just about to complain when she heard Yato calling her name.
