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

Chapter 2 Li Nian's Script ()

As they get along, the male protagonist shows all aspects of his calm personality, efficiency, extraordinary abilities, and his proficiency in both civil and military affairs. He is not like an ordinary high school student at all, not like a young man, not a local, and his origins are a mystery. When Shizi asks him, all she gets is an obviously perfunctory and false answer.

Shizi understood, but never delved into it deeply, because it was not just the male protagonist who had secrets, Shizi herself actually had many secrets that were unknown to others.

She has no memory before the age of ten.

And this town seemed to have suffered a disaster during the years when she lost her memory.

Shizi is not her parents' biological daughter, as the two of them have stated directly.

The shrine's chief priest and his wife are genuine priests who have the ability to see ghosts and perform magic. As their adopted daughter, Shiko is a shrine maiden who actually only helps the shrine deal with some miscellaneous matters. She is just an ordinary person who cannot see spirits. She thinks it is because she did not inherit their bloodline and does not care. She grew up in a shrine, but feels that the so-called spiritual world is very far away from her.

Shiko's past before she was ten years old seemed to be something her parents knew, but it was something they kept secret from them. Even if Shiko asked, they were unwilling to mention it. But this did not mean that Shiko's parents did not love her. Even though she was not their biological daughter, the two of them treated Shiko as their own and doted on her to the point of being obsessed with her. Her father, who was the shrine's chief priest, was the head of the family. Although he made his daughter a shrine maiden, he had no plans to let her inherit the shrine. Knowing that she had published a novel and had made up her mind to become a writer in the future, he said, "Do whatever you want to do," and showed a supportive attitude.

However, sometimes, Shizi's parents would give her the same concerned and worried look as the male protagonist.

The shrine of Shiko's family is often visited by important figures in the town, including the mayor. In addition, there are some people from other places. These people are actually exorcists from the Onmyoji Bureau. Among them, there are two big figures who seem to have prominent status and are respected by Shiko's parents and the mayor.

But these two people obviously don't get along with each other, as if there is some disagreement, and their attitudes towards Shizi are also different. One is a woman who is full of enthusiasm, who will take the initiative to contact Shizi and is very kind and caring to her. The other is a man with a cold expression, who is serious with Shizi, is very frugal with words, and is very restrained in his contact with her. He seems to be inexplicably afraid of her.

This female exorcist, who is also a Yin-Yang doctor, would come to check on Shiko's body frequently. Although Shiko didn't know why an ordinary person like her needed to be checked by a Yin-Yang doctor, her parents supported her. She started having these checks when she was very young, and they have become a regular occurrence for many years. As a result, she became very familiar with this female exorcist.

Shiko thought that it was common for the Shinto Society to have contact with the Onmyoji Society, and that it was just a part of her daily life.

But some changes have occurred recently, and Shizi feels that something is wrong.

The reason was that this year, after this group of exorcists visited, the Yin-Yang doctor said, "Let the child learn from the god in the shrine." He left a young exorcist to stay in the shrine, who was actually the same age as Shiko.

This happens in the middle of the story. She stays at Shiko's house and transfers to Shiko's class.

In class, this young female exorcist, like Kinoshita Shin, shows a mature personality and strong abilities beyond her peers, and will also take the initiative to approach Shiko.

Shiko thought that it was the close relationship between her own shrine and the Onmyoji that led to her approach. She herself had changed some of her thoughts in her interactions with the male protagonist, and did not resist the approach of this young female exorcist, and soon became familiar with her.

But after this young female exorcist came into contact with Kinoshita Shin, the two showed fear and suspicion of each other, and without knowing each other's identities, they began to test each other, both suspecting that the other had ulterior motives in approaching Shiko.

Once they had each collected some information about each other through poetry and their own channels, they had a somewhat frank conversation.

One day, a young female exorcist pretended to be attracted to the male protagonist, threw a love letter into his shoe cabinet, and called him to a deserted place to confess her love. As soon as Kinoshita Shin arrived, she suddenly attacked him.

The result... was that the young female exorcist was easily subdued.

This made the young female exorcist confirm that this man, Kinoshita Shin, was indeed a powerful figure with a considerable background. Even when she was restrained and a knife was held against her neck, as if her life was in the hands of someone, she did not panic. Instead, she asked in a stern voice as if she was in control of the initiative.

"Tell me, who are you?"

"A passerby."

"It's already like this, and you still want to lie with your eyes open? Kinoshita Shin... No, this name is not your real name, right?"

"Why do you care if I use my real name? I don't want to say it. It's best if you treat me as a passerby. If you are willing, I will let you go and we can pretend nothing happened."

"Impossible. I will definitely report today's incident to my superiors."

"...Before you say this, don't you think about whether you still have the chance to speak?"

"I am the demon exorcist of the Yin-Yang Department. In this town, I am one of the people that the bigwigs are paying attention to. The day after I disappeared without reporting, someone came to investigate. Do you think they noticed you, a suspicious person? Do you think it will take them a few minutes to find you when they come to this town?"

"Right."

"So, you have to give me an answer today."

"I don't need to give you an answer. Anyway, since you tested me, you should have guessed my background to some extent."

"…Were you sent by another adult to monitor Shizi?"

Who is that adult... Actually, I don't know either - Kinoshita thought so indifferently, but he knew that besides the young female exorcist who had just transferred to the school recently, there was indeed another spy who had been planted by the big shots a long time ago, and he was happy to be guessed about his identity by the young female exorcist.

"…Don't worry about it. You only need to know two things. First, you are no match for me. Second, our goals do not conflict. You do your thing and I do mine. Until the time is right, we can keep to ourselves and get along as good classmates. How about that?"

The young female exorcist felt that the noncommittal attitude was a proof, and it confirmed that Kinoshita Shin was the person she had guessed.

"That makes sense. To show your sincerity, why don't you let me go first?"

"Why don't you promise me something first before I let you go? Don't tell your superiors about me, and I won't tell my superiors about you, otherwise it will be a mess for everyone, right?"

“…There’s no way I wouldn’t report you.”

"Just don't say anything nonsense, like calling me your enemy or something like that. This will easily cause some unnecessary misunderstandings."

"...I seem to have misunderstood. I understand. I promise you."

"That's right." Kinoshita Shin let go of the young female exorcist, and the other party did not attack again.

From then on, the two sides reached a tacit understanding and no longer explored each other's secrets - at least in front of Shizi, that was the case on the surface.

Each of them guessed that the other had ulterior motives, and of course, this was true, and they were still investigating in secret.

These temptations not only once again show that the male protagonist's intentions in approaching Shizi were impure, but also show that he seemed to know a lot about the disasters that had occurred in this town in the past.

At the same time, the young female exorcist also showed that she knew some secrets and had other intentions towards Shiko. After becoming familiar with Shiko, one day she suddenly asked Shiko if she was interested in knowing the secrets she kept before she was ten years old.

Shiko was originally a little taboo about what happened ten years ago because of her parents' secretive attitude, but now she has gradually realized that Kinoshita Shin seems to be approaching her because of that past. She understands that she cannot truly understand that man without knowing her past, so she made up her mind and decided to uncover the dusty secret.

So the young female exorcist held a ceremony for Shizi after obtaining her consent and cooperation. With Shizi's cooperation, the ceremony was successfully completed. Shizi seemed to feel that one of the heavy chains wrapped around her body was broken, and she felt a connection with some kind of higher existence. After opening her eyes, she actually saw the colorful world of spirits, awakened her talent to see ghosts, and felt abundant power flowing in her body.

All of this was seen by Kinoshita Shin who was observing secretly.

He probably guessed the purpose of the female exorcist, but he couldn't make up his mind to stop her because he didn't know whether he should stop her at this time, nor did he know whether stopping her was the right decision.

When the ceremony was finally completed, Kinoshita Shin sighed, realizing that things had come to this point and there was no turning back, so he began to move forward with the preparations he had been making.

At first, Shiko was excited about her changes. She and the young female exorcist went to report the good news to her parents, but they looked surprised, as if they knew something terrifying.

But they only revealed a flaw for a moment, then put on a smiling face and blessed their daughter. Then they sent Shizi away, leaving the young female exorcist behind, but she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart and questioned angrily.

"Who allowed you to remove the seal on my daughter on your own initiative?!"

"Of course I didn't do it on my own, but it was an order from above." The young female exorcist who was being questioned angrily remained calm and replied, "That master thought it was time to move the plan to the next stage. During this year's welcoming ceremony, we will verify our experimental results again."

The angry old couple fell silent as if they were poured with cold water. The shrine's chief priest, Shizi's father, who was obsessed with his daughter, finally asked in a trembling voice, "Will our daughter really be okay?"

The young female exorcist was silent for a while, then gave her answer: "That lord said that this experiment is certain. After all... we have had a successful example before. We brought down Tsukuyomi. Although this child of God disappeared in the spiritual disaster, his body was not found and his whereabouts are unknown. But it has been successful before."

"But when Amaterasu was sent down upon Shiko, it failed, leading to the spiritual disaster six years ago." The Lord God said coldly.

"…That was not a failure. Except for the unconscious Shiko herself, all the people involved at the time died in the spiritual disaster. The specific reason is difficult to investigate, but we speculate that the descent was just interrupted because the divine power and divinity have been sealed in Shiko. We think there are three reasons. The shrine maiden did not accept the power step by step, there was a problem in the ritual process, and at that time, Miss Shiko was too young to control the divinity. That's why we opened a hole in her seal first to let her adapt to the outflow of divine power. After she turned 18 and became an adult, after the correct ritual links… This time, we will do everything we can to ensure the success of Amaterasu's descent."

She said so much but did not directly answer the question whether her friend Shizi would be okay, because she couldn't be sure.

But the young female exorcist guessed that even if something happened, the only ones who would be affected and die would be people like them who had committed such serious sins. Just like the spiritual disaster at that time, Shiko herself was only unconscious, but the surrounding area turned into ruins.

On the other side, Shizi, who had returned to her room, lost the excitement she had just felt when she first awakened her talent for seeing ghosts. She quickly fell asleep due to fatigue. In her dream, she recalled her forgotten memories. In her memory, she and Kinoshita Shin were standing in a courtyard she had never been to. She seemed to have become shorter and had to look up at the tall boy. The boy had the same face as Kinoshita Shin, but he had a slouched look, and seemed frivolous and arrogant. He was stroking his head with a smile. She opened her mouth and called that person, but what came out of her mouth was another name...

The scene changed, and she saw Kinoshita Shin again. He was standing in a ceremony venue, wearing a simple white robe that only patients wore, but he was floating in the air. Shizi in the dream seemed to have the ability to see ghosts. She could see a huge spiritual energy holding him up. At this time, Kinoshita Shin no longer had that frivolous and arrogant feeling. He had an expressionless face and looked as solemn as a god. He no longer had that frivolous and lively feeling. In her spiritual vision, a crescent moon was faintly visible and floating behind him.

There were some guys wearing white coats around, who seemed to be scientific researchers, looking at him, most of them with ecstatic expressions, and some even bowed to him and shouted.

"Tsukiyomi fate!"

The scene changed again, and she saw herself sitting in the center of the same ritual field. The overlapping magic circles around her were glowing, and seemed to be in operation. However, she had no time to pay attention to such trivial matters, because she was looking up, and in a trance she saw a sun hanging high above her head, about to fall. For some reason, she felt that it was going to melt her in the light and devour her... At this moment, a cold moonlight flashed by, cutting off the operating ritual, and then hit the sun. The stable ritual was immediately destroyed. She subconsciously looked at the source of the knife light, and the last thing she saw was Kinoshita Shin standing there with a knife in his hand.

Then, endless light engulfed the surroundings.

Chapter 3 Li Nian's Script ()

Onmyoji are creatures full of curiosity, doing various researches, among which descent of spirits is one of the research projects. This town is the place where this project is promoted. Once upon a time, this town secretly hid a research facility, using the male and female protagonists with rare talents as experimental subjects, and conducting research and experiments related to descent of spirits.

But descent of spirits, after all, uses human bodies as experimental subjects, which carries with it huge risks. It has already resulted in many sacrifices and destruction, and is a research that is not openly recognized and accepted by the Onmyoji Bureau. That is why it is conducted in secret, and carries the risk of being banned once it is exposed.

Fortunately, after conducting so many experiments and killing many qualified experimental subjects, the research still achieved certain results and carried out a successful experiment.

The result of success was that Tsukuyomi was bestowed upon Kinoshita Shin - the male protagonist who had another name at the time, endowing him with enormous power and making him the manifestation of God in the world.

The researchers were delighted by this, and with the support of the successful case, they couldn't wait to make further preparations to perform Amaterasu's descent on another subject.

There were actually no problems when Amaterasu's descent was being carried out, and it was almost successful. The divine power of Amaterasu was summoned and transformed into a setting sun, ready to merge with the recipient.

This critical stage was disrupted by someone, causing the huge force to lose its suppression and run wild. As a result, a huge force erupted, destroying the entire research facility, and all those involved in the range were burned into blackened corpses.

Only Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, who created all this, did not die. After leaving, he disappeared without a trace.

And now, he appeared in front of Shizi.

This seems to be an incomprehensible thing, and at first glance no one can understand why Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto would want to destroy the ceremony that is about to succeed.

But Shiko understood the male protagonist's actions and felt that Kinoshita Shin wanted to save herself at that time.

Because the ritual was successful and the descent of the spirit was completed, the price for Amaterasu to be born into the world was that the girl as a human disappeared from this world.

Shizi remembers the feeling that the sun was about to melt and swallow her.

After recovering her past memories, Shiko understood her situation and guessed what the positions of the young female exorcist... and her parents were. She realized that they seemed to be the companions of the researchers at that time. She now wanted to continue the interrupted ritual on herself and complete the descent of Amaterasu.

Shiko felt desperate and felt betrayed by her friends, relatives, and even the entire town where she grew up. She fled her home in fear... and all this was seen by her parents and the female exorcist who knew that she would recover her memory tonight and were observing her condition.

They did not stop Shizi from escaping.

She escaped and, as expected, met Kinoshita Shin who was observing outside.

After regaining her memory, Shiko understood why Kinoshita Shin appeared by her side at this time, and understood why he cared about her and worried about her, so she called out his former name.

The male protagonist shook his head and said that he was no longer that person, but a new existence named Kinoshita Shin.

So Shiko understood that this person was no longer the brother who used to like to ruffle her hair, but another person who had merged with Tsukuyomi. He had already gone through the process of merging with the divine power at that time, and his personality changed drastically, becoming the powerful person he is today.

But what is puzzling is why Kinoshita Shin, who has merged with Tsukuyomi, still wants to save herself. Although the current Kinoshita Shin has changed a lot, he obviously still retains his humanity and his love for her like a younger sister, otherwise he would not have saved her.

Shizi and the male protagonist began a truly frank communication and learned more details about the past.

The former male and female protagonists were both orphans and grew up in different places.

The male protagonist experienced an ordinary life, but his family fell into poverty and his parents died in an accident, so he was put into an institution. He was already in his fifteens at that time.

The heroine was an orphan who was abandoned by her parents since childhood and grew up in an orphanage.

These two people were found by the Onmyoji because they had a rare talent for seeing ghosts and were suitable to be mediums for the coming of gods. They met in a research facility.

The hero at that time experienced the fickleness of human nature. He didn't want to be looked down upon, nor did he want to be helped by others. As a result, he developed a character that looked arrogant, frivolous, and playful, but was actually strong and ruthless.

The heroine was a lonely child at that time. She was often bullied in the orphanage, which made her become taciturn and a weak girl.

After all, people with the ability to see ghosts are rare. There were only the two children and a bunch of adult researchers in the research facility. The two children lived and ate together, so naturally they regarded each other as brothers and sisters and depended on each other.

Unlike the heroine who subconsciously regarded the researchers who were very kind to her as amiable adults, the hero saw that these guys occasionally looked at them with cold eyes, and knew that these researchers in white coats were all crazy people who were just using him and the heroine as guinea pigs for experiments. Therefore, he did not have any good feelings towards these people, and only regarded the girls around him as relatives. He also realized that he was going through a very dangerous experiment, and made a promise to the heroine, "No matter what, I will protect you."

When the researchers felt the time was ripe and proposed to formally begin the trance, the male protagonist took the initiative to step forward and be the first person to undergo the experiment.

When the ceremony of descending the spirit actually began and he saw a moon descending from overhead, the hero also understood at that moment the nature of the fusion with Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto. The first thing he thought of was not himself, but he realized that his younger sister would also be swallowed up in the fusion with Amaterasu-no-Mikoto.

At that time, endless anger and fear burned in his heart.

He was no longer able to stop the ceremony, but in the process of being swallowed by the divinity, he maintained his obsession: "I must not lose myself here, I must protect her no matter what!" Therefore, in the struggle of consciousness, he maintained a little of his own spiritual light and was not completely swallowed by the divinity, successfully maintaining the dominance of humanity.

After completing the descent of the spirit, he gained enormous power and time stopped for him, allowing him to maintain his youthful appearance. His face remained unchanged, but his temperament changed drastically. He felt that he was no longer himself and from then on became a being named Kinoshita Shin.

But the obsession is still there, the humanity is still there, and the male protagonist who has obtained the power of Tsukuyomi knows what a terrible process it is to fight against the onslaught of such a huge divine consciousness. He understands that his cowardly sister will absolutely not be able to withstand that process and will be swallowed up, so he is determined to stop the ceremony. But when he wakes up, Amaterasu's divine descent ceremony has already begun, and he cannot stop it but can only interrupt it. This is why he later disrupted the ceremony midway, leading to the spiritual disaster.

But he was also affected by the power and was seriously injured. The girl fell into a coma, but she had already completed half of the divine descent. Even though the ritual was interrupted, the aftermath of the power was still radiating. No one could get close to her, and the male protagonist had no way to stop her.

The shrine at that time was also headed by the current shrine master. He represented the security force operated by the research institute in the town, and the shrine itself also provided the faith of all beings needed for the descent of the gods. The shrine master had already noticed the movement and rushed over quickly. The Onmyoji Bureau also detected the spiritual disaster and responded quickly to support the exorcists who came over. These people surrounded the scene. The male protagonist could only hide his breath and pretend to be an ordinary citizen affected in the crowd. He watched the Onmyoji Bureau's magicians deal with the spiritual disaster, approach the sister in the center, and finally the unconscious girl was taken away by the head of the shrine master.

With such a huge spiritual disaster occurring, secret research could naturally not be covered up, and the Onmyoji Bureau got involved, but failed to conduct a thorough investigation and eliminate the group conducting research on the Inhuman God Descent project. One reason was that the research institute was destroyed too thoroughly and no information was left, and the other reason was that the mastermind was one of the high-ranking officials of the Onmyoji Bureau.

In the end, the Yin-Yang Bureau only blocked the specific news and impact of the spiritual disaster, making everything come to nothing.

This girl who had completed half of the divine descent was sealed by the Onmyoji Bureau, which suppressed her divinity and divine power. As a result, she lost her ability to see ghosts and became an ordinary girl on the surface.

The chief priest did not reveal the connection between the shrine and the research institution. With the help of the mastermind behind the scenes, he successfully adopted the precious experimental material as a daughter in the name of surveillance, raised her under his nose, and named her Ito Shiko.

However, the Onmyoji Bureau is also paying attention to the situation here and to Ito Shiko, whose power of Amaterasu has been sealed. They do not want the research on descending gods to continue, which would lead to another spiritual disaster.

This seal was jointly cast by several great wizards. It is virtually unbreakable and is constantly being maintained and reinforced. It is also connected to the wizard himself and will be detected by the caster when it is broken.

But one of the seals was the work of the mastermind, who deliberately left a loophole, which led to the sealing ceremony that was later broken by the young female exorcist.

The male protagonist has been hiding these years, but he has not been idle. He has been learning Yin-Yang magic, especially the knowledge related to descending spirits. He has been able to skillfully use the power of Tsukuyomi that resides in himself and has become a very powerful exorcist. He has also been secretly paying attention to the development of the situation. He originally thought that the Yin-Yang Bureau should have abolished the original research institution, and that he should be forgotten after so many years. Only then did he take the initiative to walk out of the dark and approach the heroine, wanting to solve the hidden dangers hidden in the heroine and completely turn her into an ordinary girl.

It was pure coincidence that he encountered the resurgence of necromancy research, but in Kinoshita's opinion, this was also an opportunity to find the culprit and solve the root of the problem.

But first, he had to protect his sister.

At this time, Kinoshita Shin appeared, told Shiko everything, and then said.
