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

After listening to the female ghost playing the pipa and singing, she praised her skills.

I drank a glass of wine with the silent warrior.

It reminded the puppets that when a guest comes in, they can do more than just look at him, make some giggling noises and move a few times to make it more scary.

Chapter 489 Before the Ceremony

Of course, you won’t just encounter monsters along the way.

The haunted house is a class project of Group 2A, and the participants are naturally all the students in Group 2A. There are also students playing the role of monsters to scare people.

But after experiencing all the truly terrifying and gloomy monsters and demons before, going to see a monster wrapped in bandages and dressed like a mummy - seeing this kind of monster poorly acted by students, I felt more at ease than afraid.

Needless to say, Li Nian and Suzuka, even Nayuta didn't seem scared - until they saw a shriveled corpse lying behind the mummy who was pretending to be ferocious, and it moved its head and looked over.

Nayuta's body suddenly stiffened and he quickly hid behind Li Nian.

Li Nian looked normal, not bothering to look at the corpse on the ground. He smiled and greeted the student who was acting as the mummy in front of him: "Hey, Kanda."

"...Haha, my perfect disguise was finally exposed in front of classmate Li Nian."

The mummy paused, and then stopped pretending to be scary. Instead, it scratched its head and answered aloud. It was Kanda who was playing the role of the mummy.

"Huh? Oh, it's Senior Kanda..." Nayuta greeted him but still hid behind Li Nian and didn't dare to come out. She could only stick her head out to watch.

Kanda looked at Nayuta in confusion, who seemed to be still afraid of exposing his identity and was still hiding behind Li Nian and holding on to his clothes tightly. He then looked at Suzuka over there and said, "These two are taking Honda to a haunted house... They feel too safe. It's a pity that Honda can be scared like this. Is my poor performance so scary? Or is Honda surprisingly afraid of ghosts?"

"...After all, your haunted house is pretty realistic, whether it's the scenery, props, or even some of the actors who come to play the roles. They're a bit too realistic, and it's going to scare people a lot along the way."

Kanda felt that with such comments from Li Nian, the haunted house in his class was considered a great success, and he felt proud of it and laughed.

"That's the truth. Lu Sheng is serious this time. Not to mention the guests, even I, a staff member, feel a little scared. Walking in this place that I helped to set up, with ghosts scaring people, I feel eerie around me and feel a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, there seem to be a lot of guests, and they always appear in waves quickly, which makes me feel a little more popular and not so lonely."

Suzuka looked at the mummy in the corner with a half-smile: "Of course you'd feel spooky staying in the same room with that thing. Or rather, you're pretty careless if you just feel a little spooky."

Kanda followed Suzuka's line of sight and saw the corpse. He didn't think there was anything wrong with having this mummy in the room with him. He just sighed, "Yeah, the props Lu Sheng brought are too realistic. It's a bit scary to have them around."

"...Heh, props...it seems that the guy in my class has also done a lot of work to deceive the staff."

Obviously, he was also infected by the evil spirit, which affected him with "fear" and confused his cognition. Kanda didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with his colleagues and props, nor did he have any doubts about the overly huge mansion space he was in.

Li Nian didn't bother to enlighten him, but just asked.

"Since you are the staff member pretending to be a ghost, where is Qingshan?"

"She's also a ghost costumer. You'll meet her a few rooms ahead. She's dressed as a zombie girl. She's very cute."

"Then we must go over and take a look to refresh our eyes... Kanda, you continue with your work, and we will continue to stroll around."

"Oh, have fun, and I'll see you in the auditorium later when the animation is released."

"Well, let's go."

Suzuka said nothing and followed Li Nian to the next room. But before leaving, Nayuta reminded Kanda: "Senior Kanda, you'd better stay away from that, uh, prop. I just saw its head move."

"It's just your psychology, Honda. How can the props really move? It seems that you were really scared before and you are hallucinating."

Kanda didn't care. He laughed and patted the prop corpse beside him. The latter's cloudy eyeballs rolled around again and looked at Kanda.

Nayuta was frightened again and turned his head back quickly, not daring to look again.

Afterwards, we saw Aoyama again. She suddenly jumped out of the cupboard and scared people. Although she was very professional and made a low roar that created a lot of atmosphere before that, after seeing her zombie girl outfit that looked more cute than scary, she really didn't look scary at all.

"What a cute zombie girl." Li Nian joked with a smile.

"I'll bite you to death, gawu~~"

"Ah I'm dead."

While Li Nian was chatting with Aoyama, Nayuta was staring at the back of Aoyama, where an old TV suddenly lit up, and a woman with disheveled hair suddenly appeared on the screen and was slowly crawling out of the screen.

The moment she climbed out, the temperature in the room dropped by several degrees...

But after coming out, she saw Li Nian's figure and was stared at by Suzuka. The female ghost was stunned for a while, then silently crawled back to the TV and turned off the TV screen as if closing the door.

Qingshan was completely unaware of what was happening behind him. He was just complaining to Li Nian. The fact that Li Nian didn't look scared at all made Qingshan feel no sense of accomplishment. It was obvious that the students before would be scared, although their reactions were inexplicably delayed.

After bidding farewell to Aoyama, we continued walking and saw many monsters from the Nura group. Some of them were indeed too scary and terrifying, or like the group of small monsters we met before, they were too curious. Li Nian and Suzuka reminded these monsters that behaved too much to be more restrained.

In the kitchen on the way, he saw a butcher chopping meat. Li Nian walked closer and took a closer look, and saw that he was chopping a bloody human figure. The body was disemboweled, with intestines and stomach spilling out, and all limbs cut off, but it still looked alive and was moaning constantly. Li Nian thought this was too heavy, so he patted the butcher's shoulder in dissatisfaction and ordered them to mosaic themselves enough and not to show it so bloody and cruel. It was enough to have the feeling of a corpse being chopped. It was fine if the limbs were broken, but they had to cover it with something. If they wanted a terrifying effect, they only needed to deliberately let a bloody arm fall out when the customers came.

The corpse and the butcher were both monsters. He originally intended to scare the guests who came in, but he didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to pat him on the shoulder and say hello. When he turned around and saw that it was the big shot who had once visited the Nura clan, he nodded hurriedly, absorbed the teachings, and immediately made corresponding changes.

Li Nian asked them to perform once, then left the room with Nayuta, and walked back in to confirm the visual effect from the audience's perspective. He felt that the sense of curiosity had decreased and the atmosphere of horror was in place, so he nodded with satisfaction and left with Suzuka and Nayuta, who dared not even breathe.

In the room at the end of the corridor, Li Nian finally met a snow girl who was crying softly. The coldness spread from her body, making the temperature in the room close to below zero, and ice crystals formed everywhere. But the key to leave was placed next to her, so if she wanted to get it, she had to go there.

Li Nian walked over and picked up the key. The crying Snow Girl suddenly raised her head. It was Bing Li.

When the latter saw that it was Li Nian, his ferocious expression suddenly disappeared. Instead, he immediately became flustered, sat up straight, and bowed his head respectfully.

"Lord Li Li Li Li? Why are you here…"

"It's Miss Bingli, oh, nothing, I just came here to play."

Li Nian put his coat on Nayuta who was shivering from the cold. Seeing this, Bingli immediately put away the cold air that was spreading around.

After asking Bingli, I learned that she is the final link. After the guests get the keys, she will go crazy like a disturbed witch.

She would float up and chase, forcing the guests who got the key to run back with spreading ice crystals.

Walking along a straight and long corridor, all kinds of demons and ghosts in the adjacent rooms will become agitated together, suddenly open the door, and "enthusiastically" stick their heads out to send the guests out together. At that time, the door of the entrance hall will become openable for the guests who have got the key. When the guests run to the entrance hall with the farewell, they will leave this space directly and end this haunted house trip.

In general, it is an exploration-type haunted house. Players who enter need to move forward carefully in a confined space, being chased by various monsters, until they get the key from the Snow Girl in the room at the end, gain the qualification and path to leave, and accept the farewell of all the monsters and ghosts.

The talisman paper they got before can remind them of the location of monsters, and can also be shot out as a consumable to temporarily stop the monsters' actions - of course, it actually has no such effect at all, it is a performance coordinated by the monsters.

Li Nian felt that this process was quite interesting.

Unfortunately, after he got the key, there was no chase. The three of them were sent away by Bingli with a smile and a wave. As they walked, the doors of the rooms next to them were also very quiet. The monsters all shrank back, and those who were not professional did not come out to give the guests a final farewell.

Unlike Li Nian who felt a little regretful, Nayuta had been looking around cautiously, fearing that the monsters and demons she had seen before would jump out again. Whether before or now, she never relaxed her arms around Li Nian, becoming his pendant. They walked all the way back to the entrance, it was a rare moment of peace and quiet, and Nayuta breathed a sigh of relief.

When she reached the entrance, the "key" Li Nian was carrying automatically flew up and floated towards the tightly closed door, blending into it. The sliding door suddenly opened, and there was a light behind it.

It's a pity that there are no monsters lining the streets to welcome it. If there is a big horror chasing behind, this light would make people feel grateful and cry.

A suction force came and captured the three people.

When they reappeared, they had returned to the corridor of Sobu High School, ending their trip to the haunted house and returning to Lu Sheng's presence.

Lu Sheng smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"

Li Nian nodded: "It's quite fun. It's really thoughtful of Lu Sheng to go to such great lengths to build this haunted house."

After leaving the haunted house, Nayuta breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't remember the details of the haunted house very clearly, but she was deeply impressed by the monsters and scenery she saw. She relaxed now, and after thinking about it, she felt excited again: "What a scary haunted house! It was so well made! Many of the monsters I met seemed real!"

Nayuta looked up at the man beside her and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I have you by my side, so I don't feel so scared."

Li Nian glanced at Nayuta and saw that she was still holding his arm tightly after coming out of the haunted house, and knew that she was not going to let go.

"Haha, as long as you two are happy."

As for Suzuka, who was purely on guard during the inspection, he just snorted coldly, "Where is the fun in this?"

Lu Sheng ignored her and continued to ask Li Nian: "Did my little monster help knock it?"

"Ah, some guys are playing too much, making things too scary... or too disgusting. We need to remind them that entertainment should be entertaining. Customers come here to feel the thrill, not to feel fear. Lu Sheng, you have to remind them to pay attention in the future."

"I will."

After playing the haunted house project in Group A for 2 years and visiting other places, Suzuka gradually became satisfied with the experience.

Li Nian looked at the time and felt that the animation public session in the auditorium was about to begin. He should leave, so he mentioned it to Suzuka.

Stopping in her tracks and looking at the couple who linked their arms like a couple, Suzuka shook her head and said, "You two go ahead. I'm tired and want to go back to class for a while. Besides, I can't let Isshiki watch the front desk all by himself."

Nayuta was stunned and hesitated for a moment. She felt that if that was the case, she should go back to the maid cafe where her class was teaching to help, but she was reluctant to leave Li Nian like that.

Suzuka waved her hands impatiently: "Alright, alright, I know you want to continue to be with this guy, so I'll let you be with him to your heart's content today. It's okay to come back later."

Nayuta then smiled and said, "Okay, then after my senior and I watch the animation release ceremony of Kamiigusa-senpai, I will go back to the class cafe."

Seeing that Suzuka had had enough fun and was about to separate from this side, Li Nian asked: "Speaking of the ceremony, have you completed the research and preparations for the ceremony?"

Suzuka's originally happy expression suddenly turned cold. After a moment of silence, she nodded and said, "It's in place. We can hold it as scheduled, just as we agreed before, after the school festival."

Li Nian deliberately didn't mention this serious matter with unknown consequences just because she wanted to see Suzuka having fun. She only mentioned it when they were about to part. Now seeing that Suzuka seemed to have become unhappy all of a sudden, she suddenly felt that she shouldn't have mentioned this matter.

Even without his reminder, Dalian Temple Suzuka would not forget some of the things she regarded as her lifelong wishes, and would do them naturally without his reminder or urging.

So Li Nian said something to comfort her: "Suzuka, don't think too much, it will go well...at most you can try a few more times. Until then, relax and enjoy this school festival."

After hearing this, Suzuka looked at Li Nian quietly for a while.

Then, she did not respond to Li Nian's words of comfort, but spoke slowly.

"What I'm going to say next is my order to you as your boss."

Li Nian raised an eyebrow, not knowing why this girl suddenly became serious, but when he heard her use this expression, he still looked serious and listened.

"Boss, please give me your orders."

"Once the ceremony begins, you have only one mission, which is to maintain the normal operation of the ceremony, no matter what happens, even if something happens to me."

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." Li Nian said decisively: "Whether it's the normal operation of the ceremony or the safety of the master, as a guardian, I will ensure it."

Suzuka murmured, "...Yeah, I knew you would say that."

Li Nian was just about to ask why she was suddenly giving him such a strange order when Suzuka suddenly smiled brightly again.

"Your servant is right. I should enjoy myself in the last moments... But don't come to see me in the days before the ceremony begins."

"Huh? What does that mean."

"Because if you are by my side, I will become weak and hesitant... This is not conducive to the progress of the ceremony."

After leaving these words, Suzuka turned and left.

Chapter 491: Better Sales Than Expected

"…It is my honor to be appreciated by the editor-in-chief."

So can you give me more promotional resources? Can you help me sell more so that I can make more money? Li Nian only thought about this and of course would not say it out loud.

"In addition, personally, I also want to see the subsequent stories." Kobe said with emotion: "Really, Mr. Muzi's work is very much to my taste... Although I don't know if this is a good thing."

Upon hearing that Editor-in-Chief Kobe really liked his book after reading it, Li Nian stopped thinking about the interests involved and smiled with pure happiness.

"As long as you like it...but why is it not a good thing?"

"As an editor, I need to abandon my personal feelings to a certain extent and examine whether a work is interesting from the perspective of whether it can cater to the market. But to be honest, the things that young people like to read recently seem to be unacceptable to me. There have been no stories that can interest me for a long time. When people get older, they will become disgusted with frivolous things. Conversely, it seems that the things I like are not acceptable to young people. However, there is no doubt that the audience of light novels is young people, so the books I like often seem to sell poorly."

Machida couldn't help but complain: "Then you'd better not like Mr. Muzi's work."

"That can't be helped. It's beyond my control."

"Don't worry, I will break the curse." Li Nian understood what Kobe said, and said confidently. He did not make such a promise out of thin air. He pointed to his friends and said, "Because the young people around me like my books very much."

Kanbe glanced at Gogen and the others who were a little uneasy, and his smile deepened, but his face looked more ferocious: "Is that so... That's true, Mr. Muzi is also a young man. It's rare for you to be able to write such a work at your age. No wonder Machida is so optimistic about you. You have a promising future. He is talking about people like you."

"That's right. Did you see what a young hero is today? I discovered him!" Miss Machida was very proud.

Kasumigaoka coughed, hinting that there was another young hero she could look forward to in the future.

Ms. Machida glanced at her and remembered.

"Oh yeah, my Xiaoshi also relied on Mr. Muzi's promotion. He sent her such a great cartoonist like Mr. Shiina, who had just debuted but was a good painter. He also happened to want to draw love themes and was willing to condescend to draw "Love Metronome". In the end, the comic became a big hit and even revived the original novel. In addition, Mr. Muzi seemed to have taught Xiaoshi a lot of things, which made the planning of her new book more realistic and like a professional author."

Kasumigaoka suddenly felt unhappy, and sneered disdainfully at this time: "Oh yes, Ms. Machida, now that you mention it, I remembered that if Li Nian hadn't brought Shiina to me to discuss the comics, and if I hadn't taken a look at his works and found that he was a talent, so I mentioned it to you, you might have missed it. In this way, it can't be considered a talent discovered by you, right? Besides, I admit that Li Nian taught me a lot, but to be precise, it was a mutual exchange of knowledge, and I also taught him a lot!"

"What can you teach him?"

"I taught him what love is." Kasumigaoka said this as if nothing had happened, but her face was still a little red.

Ms. Machida smiled, looked at Nayuta over there, and said meaningfully.

"Love... Your love is about to be taken by someone else, why don't you teach him what it feels like to be a woman first?"
