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

The driver in front of him didn't react at all, whether he saw the national idol of Onmyoji, Suzuka Dalianji, who got on his car, or the strange man in a suit and sunglasses who pushed the door open, or even heard the two people's somewhat dangerous speech. He didn't say a word, as if he didn't hear anything, just humming a little tune, responding to the passengers' requests, and driving his car silently.

The driver was just an ordinary person, but both Suzuka and Li Nian had cast invisibility spells on themselves to reduce their presence. After all, they were going to meet with wanted criminals, which was not a glorious thing to be seen by everyone.

Leaving aside Li Nian, Suzuka is a well-known figure who doesn't like being watched by others. She has already developed the habit of casting invisibility on herself when walking on the street.

At this time, the driver didn't care that the passenger was eating in the back seat of his car.

Dalianji ate her breakfast reluctantly. It was a simple combination of salty porridge with steamed buns and some pickles that was very common in Sakurasou. Although she started to eat with some resistance in her heart, as soon as a mouthful of the hot and salty porridge went into her mouth, the girl's eyes lit up and she felt that the taste was very good. A warm current went down her stomach in the cold weather, warming her whole body. She felt very comfortable. The hunger that could have been forgotten and ignored was also activated. Her appetite suddenly opened up and she became more active in eating.

"Oh, this breakfast combination is pretty good. Where did you buy it?"

“I didn’t buy it from anywhere, I just made it myself.”

"You can cook, too?"

"Of course, I'm a top-notch chef, the kind whose cooking shines."

Suzuka didn't understand the joke: "What glowing food? Can you eat that kind of thing? Well, you seem to be from the Chinese mainland, so it seems normal for you to know some kung fu and cooking skills."

"Do you have some misunderstandings about Chinese people... Well, as long as you like it."

"I quite like this, it's much better than the cereal and milk I usually eat."

"That kind of thing is really boring after eating it for a long time... I can see that you have bad eating habits."

"Why do you care about me? Being a celebrity means controlling your diet."

"Isn't he going to grow taller?"

"Gah! Don't say such stupid things!" The only thing that really hurt the dwarf was his height, which made her shout, "Shut up and let me eat in peace."

"Alright alright."

Li Nian shut up, but still looked at the girl with a sidelong smile as she slowly ate the food she had made. It was obvious that she was really enjoying the meal.

Suzuka has gotten used to it and doesn't take it seriously.

After finishing the meal, Li Nian handed over the napkin at the right time, took the insulated lunch box and put it away.

Suzuka wiped her mouth and then talked about the meeting with Fujiki and others: "If possible, I don't want to cause any more trouble, fighting maniac, please listen carefully when I ask you to restrain yourself. It's best if we can avoid fighting. I just want to get what I want safely and intact."

"I'll listen to you. You're the boss and I'm the servant. So where is the meeting place? It's the spot chosen by Fujiki. It won't be a park or something like that, right?"

"It's a hotel, and we've booked a private room."

"Hmm, a private and enclosed room, right? This is what it feels like when evil forces come together. It's worth my coming here in black. But if that's the case, is the breakfast I brought redundant?"

"Do you dare to eat what the other side prepared?"

"Why wouldn't you dare eat anything the hotel prepared? The question is who's paying for it?"

"That question is the most irrelevant one..."

Originally, Suzuka was worried about something and felt nervous, but after talking to this guy for a few words, she felt like she couldn't be nervous anymore.

Chatting casually, Li Nian and Suzuka arrived at the designated hotel.

Li Nian looked at the bustling scene around him. This was the center of a certain business district. Then he looked at the high-rise hotel building in front of him that was lavishly decorated and full of style. Anyone could tell that this was a high-end consumption place.

"I know how to enjoy it... But I think Fujiki and Yato are both very poor, so why did they choose a place like this... But it's true that this place is not suitable for fighting."

"Would you mind stopping thinking about fighting?"

The two informed the front desk that they had made a reservation, and under the guidance of the waiter, they came to the reserved private room.

When I pushed the door open and walked in, I saw a very large room with elegant decoration and complete furniture. Some people who had arrived earlier were already sitting on the long leather sofa.

When they heard the door being pushed open, everyone looked over.

"Oh, your little daughter is here... and as expected, she brought someone else with her."

One of them was Fujiki, sitting leisurely on the sofa, with Yatoshin and a little girl named Fei standing behind him.

Yato, who escaped from the siege of the Nura clan, had disappeared recently. When he appeared in front of Li Nian at this moment, he could be seen to have bandages wrapped around the lapels of his kimono. He seemed a little weak, and it was obvious that his injuries were still very serious and he had not recovered yet.

In the past, he would be on full alert when facing Li Nian, but at this moment, he didn't even transform into Fei, and didn't show any hostility towards Li Nian. He just stood quietly behind Teng Qi. Instead, the little girl named Fei was kicking him viciously with a cold look in her eyes.

The meeting was originally led by Fujiki, so it was not surprising that Yatoshin and Fei were brought along. It was expected. In addition to these familiar people... there was also a strange man on the scene.

The moment she saw the man, Suzuka's body froze.

"father……"

Suzuka swallowed the words that came out of her mouth subconsciously.

She used to call the man that, but now she felt disgusted by him calling her that. A spontaneous feeling of resistance and nausea brought her back to her senses from the shock. Her expression immediately turned sinister, and one hand had already reached out for the bag of talismans she was about to take with her. She was ready for battle, her magic power surged, and the "visible" aura emanated from her body.

He entered combat mode immediately.

Li Nian guessed the whole meaning of the word she didn't finish and understood the identity of this strange man at once.

Li Nian narrowed his eyes and looked at him silently.

Is this person the father of Dalianji Suzuka, the former national first-class demon exorcist, Dalianji Zhidao?

When talking about this man, this father, Suzuka has always been very secretive and fearful. She would obviously feel fear and terror when he was mentioned... So much so that Li Nian, who learned about Dalian Temple Zhidao from her, imagined him to be a cruel and terrifying guy. But when he actually met him, the feeling was completely different.

This middle-aged man looked very handsome, in a white shirt, black trousers, a vest and tie, expensive-looking leather shoes, and a pair of single-sided gold-rimmed glasses. He looked gentle and intellectual. At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa, drinking a glass of red wine, looking very stylish, which complemented this gorgeous room.

Rather than a powerful exorcist or researcher of advanced spells, he feels more like a university professor.

But there are many people in the world who are beasts in human form. From Suzuka's words, we learned that this is a bastard who has been using children as experiments since childhood to do various spell experiments. Suzuka's brother died because of this. What kind of crazy soul is hidden under that human appearance? Li Nianting wants to peel off that layer of skin and take a look.

The reunion between father and daughter did not have a warm feeling. Suzuka's hostility surged. She had asked Li Nian to restrain his desire to fight, but now she seemed like the one who wanted to fight the most. She stared at the middle-aged man with a rare dark emotion.

As if ignoring his daughter's hostile expression, the man smiled gently, toasted from a distance, and said, "Long time no see, Suzuka."

"...You're really not dead." Suzuka whispered.

"Dead." The man shook his head: "Can't you see? The person in front of you is no longer alive."

Li Nian had already figured out that this guy was a spiritual being. In his spiritual vision, it was not a living person standing in front of him, but a creature of the same nature as monsters and gods.

Dalian Temple Zhidao did not hide it much.

Suzuka could see it, of course, and said sarcastically, "...I was wondering how someone like you could simply die in a spiritual disaster that you caused. It turns out that you simply don't want to be a human anymore, and you became a ghost. This is exactly the style of a madman like you."

Li Nian glanced at her and noticed her body trembling slightly. He knew that the child was feeling very frightened and scared at the moment, but she was just forcing herself to cheer up in front of her frightened father. He probably guessed that Suzuka had come to him specifically to participate in the information delivery of this meeting because she was afraid that this situation would happen.

Dalian Temple Zhidao didn't take it seriously and just said, "How about we sit down and talk first? There's also the person behind you."

Suzuka gritted her teeth and didn't want to get closer. Li Nian sighed when he saw this. He originally wanted to keep quiet and pretend to be an expert, and just stand behind to support the sponsor, but now it seems that it is time for him to take the initiative to step forward.

So he simply walked in front of Suzuka, intentionally or unintentionally blocking Dalianji Zhidao's sight, standing between Suzuka and her father, and walked forward first.

"That's right. It's not a good idea to talk while standing. It's a rare opportunity to meet an acquaintance. There are all kinds of things I want to ask, and there are things to talk about... So, have you prepared the information about the Taishan Mansion Lord Festival?"

When Suzuka heard Li Nian mention the purpose of their visit, she was reminded.

The girl bit her lip, knowing that this was not the time to fight with these people... at least not now. With Li Nian walking in front, she realized again that she had brought reliable bodyguards with her. She felt relieved for a moment, and managed to calm down and followed Li Nian.

Li Nian sat down carelessly opposite Zhidao of Dalian Temple, while Suzuka sat down next to him, sitting so close to him that their bodies were almost touching.

Dalian Temple Zhidao didn't look at his daughter twice. Although he smiled and said hello, he never regarded himself as a father to Suzuka from beginning to end. He just treated her casually as if she were a passerby. Suzuka also felt that this person was indifferent to her as always. At this time, she thought of the gentle look in Li Nian's eyes before she came.

Originally, it was his daughter who should have come to him to ask for the information, but now, looking at Li Nian who spoke up for her and came with her, Dalian Temple Zhidao instead showed some interest that he had not had before and revealed a curious expression.

"This mage is Master Li Nian, right?"

"Oh, I am honored to have the name remembered by a former national first-class exorcist. Forget about the sir. I dare not be called that in front of my senior."

Li Nian looked at him with a smile and continued to look at the man, observing him carefully without showing any hostility, trying to show weakness to the enemy.

"Master Li, you are joking. You seem to want me to look down on you." This little thought seemed to be seen through. The man did not change his respectful address to Li Nian. He looked at Li Nian quietly, and did not hide his scrutiny: "But I dare not look down on you. There are not many mages in the world who can defeat earth spiders. I am the one who feels honored to meet you."

"I told you he would come, didn't I?" Teng Qi spoke up at this time, and said lazily, "If only Master Zhidao came to meet his daughter, you would not see tomorrow's sun if you met this person. You should be grateful for the presence of me and Yato. Otherwise, seeing your daughter's behavior, she would definitely want to kill you. You would definitely not be able to run away or fight against such a powerful helper who was called to kill you. You owe me a favor."

"Well, looking at the situation, it seems that Lord Li has some misunderstanding about me." Li Nian's idea of ​​deliberately showing weakness to the enemy was seen through, and further, his hostility seemed to be detected. Dalian Temple Zhidao nodded and acknowledged Tengqi's statement, but did not admit that he owed him a favor.

Only then did Li Nian look at Teng Qi.

It shouldn't be a matter of course for a seemingly upright person like himself to follow Suzuka, who wanted to perform forbidden techniques, to confront this group of evil forces. However, Li Nian felt that even so, Fujiki would still be wary of him.

Still asked.

"Tengqi, you knew I would come?"

"Thank you for taking care of my Yato. I am also afraid that he will be almost killed by Lord Li like him. I have to be more careful."

Fujiki learned from Yato about some of the things that happened between him and Li Nian. He knew that Yato suddenly wanted to show up on the Internet to collect faith, and some of the strange changes in his ideas were all Li Nian's ideas.

Yato was summoned to fight and kill once, which was also something Li Nian had done. The Nura group launched an artillery attack to surround and kill Yato, which made Fujiki feel that it was also Li Nian's move against the Nura group.

Li Nian suppressed his smile. Since his hostility had been noticed, he decided not to pretend anymore and said coldly.

"Oh, so this time you called in the seriously injured Yatoshin, and with this Mr. Dairenji Zhidao, you think you can handle me, right?"

"Do you want to fight here? Don't, Lord Li has seen it. Although your barrier technique is exquisite, it can't stop Yato's slashing. It can't be built. Although this room is quiet, it should be as fragile as paper in a real fight. Without the barrier, are you planning to tear down this building? I advise you to think twice. This place is crowded with people. You don't want to affect ordinary people, right? We don't want to either. Why don't you all sit down, drink some wine, chat, and have a happy gathering?"

They will then use innocent people to threaten themselves.

Li Nian knew that Fujiki would come and go without any more tricks, and he had guessed that he would say that. At this moment, he suddenly glanced at Yatoshin who was standing there quietly, wondering if he had changed recently. He had some small ideas in his mind and thought that he could try it later.

His expression remained unchanged, as if he was helpless against Fujiki, as if he admitted that Fujiki's threat was effective: "Yes, yes, that's the truth, I understand, so I didn't come here to fight this time, I just followed Suzuka to get some information."

"I'm really confused as to why you came here with the daughter of the Dalian Temple family." Being wary of Li Nian was one thing, but if he really came here with Suzuka, Fujiki didn't understand his purpose and didn't know how these two people reached a consensus.

"Because I'm also very interested in the Taishan Lord Festival." Li Nian naturally wouldn't say that he was bribed by money, that would be so low.

This reason is not fully believed by everyone, but it is still quite sufficient.

"If you are interested, you can all come over here and study with us." Dalian Temple Zhidao naturally extended an invitation: "Suzuka, if you want to continue studying the soul, you should learn from me. Lord Li, Lord Yuyuko is very interested in you and will welcome your arrival."

Suzuka said decisively: "Don't even think about getting me involved with a scum like you! Stop talking nonsense and bring me the information! I can implement the Taishan Mansion Festival myself!"

Li Nian also said decisively: "Okay, why don't you two introduce me to someone?"

Then the two people who gave opposite answers looked at each other.

Suzuka widened her eyes: "You..."

Li Nian said seriously: "Well, I have defected and am planning to surrender to the enemy."

Chapter 444: Hell and Hades, Heaven and God’s Kingdom

No one believed this.

There were doubtful expressions on everyone's faces. Li Nian knew that her acting skills were not good enough and she should not have agreed so decisively. She should have hesitated for a while, put forward some conditions, pretended to be hesitant for a while, and then pretended to agree to make it seem genuine.

But it’s a little too late to think about it now.

...What is this person planning?

Even Suzuka didn't believe it. She looked at Li Nian in confusion but didn't ask the question out loud. She was just trying to cooperate with his performance.

But the performance was not well-prepared at the beginning and was not convincing at all. Suzuka did not believe Li Nian's too straightforward betrayal, and Fujiki and Dalianji Zhidao on the opposite side did not believe it either.

"Lord Li may have taken my words as a joke." Instead, he thought that Li Nian's straightforward agreement was a mockery, and Dalian Temple Zhidao became more serious: "We really need a powerful mage like you, so you can seriously consider it."

"I've already done that kind of sales pitch." Teng Qi saw through Li Nian's purpose. "If he was tempted, he would have been tempted then. Lord Li can't stand us lawless bastards. He suddenly said he wanted to defect. It couldn't be more true. It seems that he just wanted to meet Lady Yuyuko. He probably wanted to kill that woman. Well, Lord Li is really good at fighting. Yato is no match for him. Tsuchigumo was also defeated. Who knows, he might have a way to kill Lady Yuyuko. I'm a little curious."

Dalian Temple Zhidao suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's how it is. Now that you mention it, I'm also very curious. What methods did the wizard who could defeat the Tsuchigumo spider use? I didn't see it then. It's a pity. Will I have a chance to see it when I fight with Yuyuko-sama?"

Li Nian's thoughts were seen clearly... although he had no intention of hiding them.

When Fujiki revealed the purpose, Dalian Temple Zhidao also understood it, but he didn't seem to care much about it.

Judging from what these two people said, they obviously didn't care about the idea of ​​killing their boss. They just wanted to watch the show, but they obviously didn't think Li Nian could really kill Yuyuko.

Suzuka also reacted and remembered that Li Nian once said that he wanted to take the initiative to find Yuyuko. She knew that this was what he was thinking at the moment and looked at him in horror.

Yato, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"Don't go, you'll die."

The girl standing next to him, Fei, immediately pulled his sleeve and said, "Yato? He must have caused you to be ambushed by the monsters of the Nura Clan. Why did you remind him? Are you stupid? Wouldn't it be better to watch him being eaten up by that vicious woman?"

Li Nian smiled noncommittally and said, "Death? Maybe, but even if I don't go looking for her, she will probably come looking for me."

"That's right." Fujiki laughed gloatingly, "You are very famous here now. Even Tsuchigumo can't kill you, so that person has to do it himself. Lady Yuyuko said that she would kill you personally to avenge several loyal monsters under her command."

"Of course, if Lord Li is really willing to come to our side, Lord Yuyuko is willing to forgive the past." Dalian Temple still did not give up the idea of ​​recruiting the person in front of him.

"Don't ask, Lord Dalianji. If they really fight, this kind of person will definitely not be convinced. Lord Yuyuko doesn't even want to threaten him. Obviously, he has made up his mind to fight. There is no need for you to do anything useless. Just wait and watch the show."

"Oh? So you mean you two are willing to introduce me?" Li Nian still had a humble attitude when applying for a job.
