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

His heart was indeed shattered, and he should have died on the spot...but for some reason at that time, some kind of power suddenly erupted in his body, protecting his heart meridian and forcibly maintaining his temporary consciousness and ability to move, allowing him to stab back later.

Then, he fell down again and fell into a coma...

Until now when I woke up, I found myself lying in the hospital.

At that time, it felt as if the shackles in my body were unlocked...

Li Nian recalled his memory, thought about it, and immediately closed his eyes and looked inward. As expected, he "saw" a strange energy lingering in his heart, which was a green bud-like color. When he touched it with his senses, he immediately felt the vigorous and friendly vitality in it.

Li Nian came out of the inner vision state and opened his eyes. His expression became very complicated. "Seeing" the strange power that appeared out of nowhere in his body made him have some guesses in his mind. He immediately called up the panel to take a look.

Some places have changed at some point.

On the simple panel, leaving aside the ever-growing skill tree and fixed talents, the comprehensive evaluation of his will and combat power has reached B+ at some point... None of this matters.

What’s important is that with regard to the “soul talent” that had been in an “unawakened” state, the three words “unawakened” have disappeared, and a sentence has replaced them.

"The fight never ends, life never ends."

Chapter 59: Afterwards

Li Nian was stunned for a long time, shook his head in confusion, and knew why he didn't die.

Before he came to this world, he had a deal with "God". In exchange for practicing justice, God allowed him to make a wish. Li Nian thought it was all a dream, so he made a wish for "health".

Li Nian did not forget this, but he never thought too much about it. He subconsciously believed that this "reward" had already been paid to him when his body was transformed, giving him a healthy and strong body. He was satisfied with this and did not ask for more.

But when he saw this so-called soul talent, Li Nian suddenly realized that it seemed that the reward was calculated separately.

"It's a bit of a bad taste to awaken a person only when he is about to die..."

Rather than being happy about gaining some new power, Li Nian felt more relaxed at this moment as if he had survived a disaster.

This reward appears on the panel in the form of a soul talent and is summarized in a very interesting sentence.

——The fight never stops, life never ends.

Now there is not a single wound on Li Nian's body, not even a scar. No matter it is a small scratch or a gash on the chest, or even the heart position in the left chest that was pierced and crushed once, all have recovered to their original state.

We can already intuitively understand how terrifying the effect of the "health" obtained by making a wish is.

At that time between life and death, it seemed that it was this "soul talent" that forced him to hold on for a breath, giving him the power to fight back, allowing Li Nian to obtain the victory that he should not have obtained... Thinking back on that battle now, I feel a little palpitated.

It's completely different from small cases like fighting. In a real fight, both the enemy and us try our best to take the other's life.

The winner lives and the loser dies. A tragic ending is looming behind both sides. Everyone will have to face the other side's fierce and ferocious counterattack. If they are not careful, they will pay a heavy price in their lives.

Li Nian was very glad that he had learned "Ice Heart". The mental method he chose for the superficial reason of wanting to create cold air seemed to be tailor-made for this situation. At the critical moment, it allowed him to maintain absolute calmness and clear thinking, minimize the impact of injuries, transform himself into a fighting machine, integrate all he knew and learned in one breath, and truly bring out the fighting power that could be exerted in theory in actual combat.

But even so, he still died once - yes, he died once. At the time when the old man stabbed him in the heart, Li Nian was sure that it meant he had actually lost the battle, so he paid the price with his life.

This is probably what Isayama has always emphasized to him, a concrete manifestation of the dangers inherent in the profession of an exorcist... The so-called spiritual disasters must also include matters like this one, where one has to fight against a multitude of evil spirits.

What I chose might be the so-called Shura Way...

That must be a path far from the life of ordinary people...

Li Nian was thinking about life when suddenly she heard multiple footsteps. She looked up and saw the door was pushed open at the expected time, and Isayama walked in with a fruit basket.

As soon as he saw her, Li Nian probably thought about what happened after he fell into a coma, and knew that it was Isayama who sent him to the hospital.

Jianshan pushed open the door and saw Li Nian sitting up on the bed. She had woken up. He was startled for a moment and then smiled.

"I thought you wouldn't wake up once you lay down."

"I didn't think I could open my eyes again." Li Nian shrugged.

"Look at what you said, it's as if you're going to die, but you're obviously fine, right?"

"Who said I was fine? Didn't you see how many cuts I had on my body?"

"When I saw you, all the wounds on your body had already healed." Isayama placed the fruit basket on the table next to him and emphasized his tone, "I sent you to the hospital, and the only problem with your body was excessive blood loss."

Afterwards, the two of them suddenly fell silent at the same time.

Including the terrifying recovery ability displayed by his body, Li Nian's performance in this incident raised many doubts in Jianshan's eyes, making his previous statements no longer credible.

At that time, because there was a powerful enemy at hand, Li Nian used the statement "I will explain it later" to get away with it, but now it is afterward.

Li Nian thought about it and was about to speak, but Jianshan reached out to stop him.

"Everyone has secrets. I won't delve into the things you're hiding. I only have one question for you."

"……you say."

"Why did you touch me?"

This question?

After hearing this, Li Nian breathed a sigh of relief and said with certainty.

"I have already told you this in detail. I still say the same thing, because I want to be an exorcist."

"...You still want to fool me with that kind of reason?" Isayama frowned.

"You may not believe it, but I only recently awakened the ability to see ghosts." Li Nian said helplessly.

This is the fact, it is purely a coincidence, but so many coincidences piled up, enough to make people doubt that this is not a coincidence. Isayama stared at him for a long time, half believing and half doubting, and finally smacked his lips, gave up the investigation, and said in self-abandonment.

"Forget it. Come to think of it, there doesn't seem to be anything worth looking at on me... Just assume that what you said is true."

She still didn't believe what Li Nian said, thinking that the strength Li Nian showed was impossible for someone who had only awakened to "seeing ghosts" for more than half a month. She also thought that even if Li Nian didn't want to say it, it didn't matter. At least this guy fought alongside her, blocked the knife for her, and broke the sword for her. He didn't act like a bad person.

"So about the matter of the exorcist qualification certificate..." Li Nian asked carefully.

"You seem to really care about it... Okay, okay, I know you have enough ability, I will help you get one later."

She said it lightly, but to Li Nian it sounded like a very good thing and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's not talk about this." Isayama changed the subject and his expression became serious: "We still have something to ask you."

After saying that, she called out to the door, "Officer Kosaka, please come in."

Hearing this, a man pushed the door open and walked in.

Li Nian had heard multiple footsteps before, and felt that there was someone else outside. When he heard Jianshan call him police officer, he already understood something in his heart, and looked up to see the police officer who walked in after hearing the greeting.

This is a middle-aged man wearing a suit and with a rough face. His thick eyebrows seem to be naturally slanted into a line. Coupled with his serious expression, he looks intimidating and powerful...

But when Li Nian saw his face, her eyebrows twitched slightly, and she felt that this person looked more like a gangster boss than a police officer...

Isayama continued.

"This person and I are now questioning you on behalf of the Onmyoji and Metropolitan Police Department respectively. You must answer truthfully and cooperate with the investigation."

Chapter 60 Return to Life

When the two asked this, Li Nian cooperated and told them everything he knew.

Having said that, the whole thing is very simple. It was because the third-grade gangsters that Li Nian provoked were involved with the so-called monster gang, which brought them revenge. As a result, Li Nian exposed his "talent of seeing ghosts" during the counterattack, which attracted the monsters to spy on his flesh and blood, and eventually developed into such a fight.

Li Nian gave a brief account of the whole incident without exaggerating.

The police officer had no questions about this. He just quietly took out a pen and a notebook and wrote while listening, as if he was taking notes.

When he heard Li Nian openly talk about the details of how he had killed someone, he suddenly stopped writing and took a deep look at the young man lying on the bed in front of him.

Officer Takasaka had been to the scene and witnessed the tragic situation. Isayama told him that it was all done by Li Nian. He still didn't quite believe that a teenage student could have created such a scene, but now that Li Nian himself admitted it, it was another matter.

But until Li Nian finished speaking and he finished taking notes, he didn't ask anything. Finally, he nodded, stood up and said to Isayama.

"Isayama-kun, I understand what happened. We will keep a record of what happened and start investigating those people. We will let you know as soon as we get the information. Please stay in a position to be contacted at any time."

"Excuse me."

Officer Takasaka nodded to Li Nian, said coldly, "Thank you for your cooperation," then turned and left the ward.

"Is that the end?" Li Nian watched him leave, his eyebrows twitching, feeling that he was a little perfunctory.

Isayama knew what he was wondering about and said, "Monster matters are under the jurisdiction of our Yin Yang Bureau."

"...I thought he would at least be convicted of excessive defensiveness or something, and then be put in jail for two or three years."

Isayama smiled and said, "You also have the self-awareness that you are over-defending?"

Li Nian smiled, but then became serious and explained.

"You saw the situation. They wanted to kill me and eat me. Anyone who held back would be a fool."

Isayama was stunned and opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything to refute. Instead, he sighed and replied: "You are right, and you are right. I was too naive."

She was nearly hacked to death, and Li Nian was injured while trying to block the knife for her. That was a deeply humiliating lesson for her.

"So now the Yin-Yang Bureau will take over my case. Will you sentence me for excessive self-defense?" Li Nian asked curiously.

"No." Isayama said flatly: "The people of the Onmyoji Bureau don't care about the life or death of monsters who have violated taboos. If the monsters say they want to kill you and they attack you first, then everything you do is self-defense."

She added, "So you don't have to worry about being held accountable."

This sentence eliminated Li Nian's concerns and made him breathe a sigh of relief, but he also felt a little bit unbelievable. He felt that he had done nothing wrong, but he knew that what he had done was quite a big deal and should not be dealt with so simply. According to Isayama, the Onmyoji Bureau seemed to have the right to act arbitrarily - this already felt a bit like being above the law.

Isayama looked at his expression, sneered and said another sentence.

"But if you kill humans, that's another matter. I can't help you come forward and classify the matter. When the time comes, the Curse Search Department will come to deal with you, and the Metropolitan Police Department's reaction will not be as indifferent as Officer Takasaka's today."

She was warning Li Nian not to think of committing a crime. The Curse Investigation Department is a department in the Yin-Yang Bureau that is responsible for investigating the criminal behavior of psychics and cracking down on them. They are experts in handling incidents involving curses against people, and Li Nian has also heard of them.

But of course he had no intention of committing a crime... Probably not? Li Nian himself also felt that some parts of his thinking were beginning to become dangerous, and he was not sure if he would have such intentions in the future.

"Anyway, I know my limits."

Isayama recalled how he had stabbed the rat monsters without hesitation and was not very convinced by what he said. He muttered, "...It's better that way."

Li Nian felt that the matter seemed to be over, the evil party had been eliminated and there was no future trouble.

“Can I eat this?”

"I bought it for you."

"Thank you."

Li Nian reached into the fruit basket and took out an apple. He felt like he was going to starve to death if he didn't eat something. Jianshan looked at him, still thinking about whether there were any noteworthy suspicious points in the incident, and suddenly asked another question.

"Do you know who that old man is?"

"I know."

Jianshan had asked casually without any expectation, but he was startled when he heard the words and suddenly raised his voice.

"you know?!"

"He calls himself Kidomaru." Li Nian replied calmly.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

“No one asked.”

Isayama asked anxiously, "What else do you know?"

"Those guys said they wanted to take my heart - to give it to a guy called Yuyuko."

Isayama was stunned, his expression became solemn, and he asked again.

"Are you sure you said the word Yu-yi-fox?"

"I am sure."

"…Are there any others?"

"And... the last one is that rat who clamored that with the support of these two people, his old rat group would replace the Nura group..."

Isayama turned around and slammed the door.

Li Nian was stunned.

"What a big reaction..."

It seems that what I forgot to say is the key information?

Isayama's reaction seemed a bit serious. Li Nian scratched his head and said, "Forget it. It's not something I should be anxious about anyway."

He bit down an apple in two or three bites, and felt better after filling his empty stomach.

Suddenly, a ringtone rang. It was the cell phone on the table. Li Nian put down his hand that was reaching for the fruit basket again and picked up the phone. It showed that it was a call from Teacher Qianxun.
