"The bucket is here...Ah, welcome back, Li Nian."

Kanda came over from the bathroom carrying a bucket of water and put it next to Aoyama. He noticed Li Nian standing at the entrance and greeted her.

Qingshan nodded to Kanda and said, "Thank you, Kanda-kun, go and do your own thing. Leave the rest to me."

"... Kanda, what's going on?" Li Nian cast a puzzled look at Kanda: "Aoyama said she would take care of Mashiro for you? Is that true?"

Kanda wanted to explain something, but Aoyama answered first: "I decided to do it myself. How can I let a boy take care of Shiina-san's daily life?"

"That's true..." Li Nian frowned, thinking of what he knew about Qingshan's situation: "But that's a very troublesome thing, right? I remember that Qingshan, you have a lot of part-time jobs, and you also have to take care of voice actor training..."

"I'm not afraid of trouble."

Li Nian looked at Kanda again. He naturally understood the meaning of Li Nian's eyes and said with a wry smile: "I have already persuaded Qingshan, but it was useless."

"You worry too much."

"You are too optimistic, Aoyama." Kanda said with a serious expression: "You should know that Shiina is more than a hundred times more useless than you think."

Li Nian nodded in agreement.

Qingshan waved his hand indifferently.

"I'm better at housework than you guys. I can definitely take care of Shiina-san more easily than Kanda-kun. It won't be that troublesome."

"See, that's it. No matter what I say, it's useless. Li Nian, you should say a few more words."

Li Nian did think that she needed to say a few more words, and reminded Qingshan seriously: "Qingshan, are you sure you have the energy to take care of others?"

"There's no one more suitable than me in Sakurasou. It's impossible to let Misaki-senpai take care of Shiina, right?"

“It’s not a question of whether it’s appropriate or not…”

"So, it can only be me." Qingshan seemed annoyed by their repeated dissuasion and waved his hand. "Don't worry, I know my limits... Please go away quickly. You are just in the way."

Chapter 102: Unexpected Work

Li Nian knew that since Qingshan had already said this, he had made up his mind. People who have made up their minds would hardly listen to anything others said.

Moreover, as a woman, Aoyama is indeed more suitable to take care of Shiina than Kanda. She herself seems like a considerate and attentive person. Logically speaking, she is indeed the most suitable person to take care of Shiina in Sakurasou. Maybe she can do it more handily than Kanda and may not be unable to handle it. We will have to wait and see.

Thinking of this, he said no more.

That night, Aoyama took the initiative to convene a Sakurasou meeting and formally proposed a resolution to change the person in charge of taking care of Mashiro.

Kanda objected, and Li Nian chose to abstain, but others were different. Ren was the first to vote for Aoyama because he thought it was fun. The heartless Misaki raised her hands and seconded the motion, saying "oh oh". I don't know if she was just making trouble because she thought it was fun. Then, Chihiro, who wanted to end the meeting early and go to the social gathering, also sided with Aoyama. After sending a text message to Ryunosuke, this otaku who had no interest in the topic only replied with "whatever", which was equivalent to abstention. So Kanda became the absolute minority, and the "job of taking care of Mashiro" was taken away by Aoyama. In addition, the allocation of other shifts was also replanned after Aoyama was included.

As for Shiina herself, as the center of the incident, she did not make any statement from beginning to end. She just watched it all blankly. I don't know if she realized that from tomorrow on, another person would take care of her daily life.

Li Nian had no objection to this result, but only reminded Qingshan at the end.

"When you really can't hold on any longer, Qingshan, you still have room to regret."

Qingshan replied straightforwardly: "I won't regret it."

There was still a hint of anger in her voice. Li Nian keenly sensed that she was trying to challenge him, so he remained silent.

Of course, Li Nian was not stupid enough to persuade Qingshan to give up. She just felt that taking care of Shiina was a burden for Qingshan, who was obsessed with working. As Kanda said, she needed to work to make a living. She was also pursuing her dream and doing voice actor training. In addition, she had to take care of her daily studies. If she had to deal with Shiina's problem...

It would be fine if she could really handle it, but if she couldn't... Li Nian was just kindly telling her that she could give up this retreat, but it seemed that she didn't listen to this statement.

Well, I just hope Aoyama can really handle it well.

On the other hand, when she is really too busy, she will consider giving up without anyone saying anything.

Li Nian thought so and stopped thinking about Qingshan. He returned to his room and prepared to start writing. He did not intend to put off writing, so he started to do it immediately and planned to finish it as soon as possible.

Sitting in front of the computer and taking a deep breath, Li Nian cleared all the complicated thoughts in his mind.

Then he pulled out the outline he had already written, took a look at it, and immediately began to revise it, considering adding some of the plots that he had occasionally thought of in the past few days, and made some fine-tuning to the overall plan. After adjusting the outline, he opened the original manuscript document and continued with the parts he had written before, and began typing without hesitation.

Once you enter the state, the sense of the passage of time will become particularly weak.

This time he was just as focused as last time, his efficiency remained the same, and he typed at a lightning fast speed.

Although it seems that this person has turned into a typing machine, as if he has already thought of every word of the article in his mind and just needs to type it out, but in fact, Li Nian is still following the process that all authors will follow - that is, following the decided general direction, thinking about how to describe the flesh and blood of the story in the best way, thinking about what kind of text to write word by word, and sometimes he needs to stop and look back, make additions, deletions, and modifications, or feel that he should write more about a certain plot to polish it, and he needs to look up some information.

If there is any difference between him and other people, it is just that his energy is more full, his brain thinks faster, and he doesn't pause due to distracting thoughts... These three factors combined make him so terrifyingly efficient.

Push forward, push forward, and push forward again, without hesitation or hesitation, push forward quickly and steadily.

……

……

After finishing the next stage of the plot, that is, finishing the "transition" part of the introduction, development, turn and conclusion, Li Nian stopped and put the last period, pulling himself away from the state of concentration.

I let out a long sigh and leaned back in my chair, then I had time to glance at the time. Before I knew it, six hours had passed and it was past midnight.

All in all, it seems that I have maintained a typing speed of about five or six thousand words per hour.

But Li Nian doesn't think this is anything to be proud of.

"When I came to my senses, it felt like a few days had passed..."

The mental exhaustion is very serious and I have a slight headache.

Li Nian put his hand on his temple, but looking at the much fuller Word document, he showed a tired smile because of the strong sense of accomplishment.

Only the ending is left.

Tomorrow...it will be done.

Li Nian was a little excited.

Yes, just excitement.

He started writing just for fun, but when he really did it, he put in a lot of focus. When it was about to be completed, he was looking forward to it more than anyone else, and even wanted to continue writing. He just stayed up all night and finished it.

But... he still restrained himself, because he felt very tired at this moment and urgently needed rest.

Only by combining work and rest can we maintain efficiency.

Li Nian moved his body after sitting for a long time, and his bones made a crackling sound. He walked to the bed, slowly lay down, closed his eyes, and soon, as usual, his consciousness quickly began to sink into the darkness...

——I could feel the power entrenched in my heart stirring and about to surge into my head.

I will not allow...

After finally giving this order, Li Nian fell into a deep sleep.

……

……

"Om-!"

The sudden strong vibration sound pulled Li Nian's consciousness out of the darkness in one breath, and scared him so much that he jumped up from the bed.

The phone on the bedside table is vibrating. There is an incoming call.

Li Nian snatched it away and took a look at it. There was no note on the call, indicating that it was a call from a stranger. He glanced at the time in the upper right corner. It was two o'clock in the morning.

"Tsk..." Li Nian rubbed his nose in pain, smacked his lips in dissatisfaction, and muttered: "If you dialed the wrong number, I will follow the radio waves to find you and kill you..."

He still chose to answer the call, put it to his ear, and asked in a calm tone.

"Which one."

"I'm sorry to bother you so late at night. Is this Mr. Li Nian?" A soft and sweet female voice came from the other side.

When he heard that the call was to find him, Li Nian's murderous intent was suppressed by half, and he probably guessed the meaning of the call.

"it's me."

"That's good. This is the Yin Yang Office. We just received a call from the police in Yachiyo City, Chiba Prefecture, saying that a female body was found and it is suspected to be a third-level spiritual disaster. We don't mean to disturb your rest, but it's urgent. Can you please go over and take a look?"

Sure enough, I came to work.

Chapter 103

Li Nian suddenly fell into deep thought.

The memory of the term "third type of spiritual disaster" immediately came to his mind.

In common sense, it is not a word whose specific definition is understood by the general public, but everyone is familiar with it because this word is often mentioned in the news. The occasions when it appears usually involve "criminal incidents", so Li Nian can still understand what the third type of spiritual disaster refers to.

If the first and second types of spiritual disasters can be described as "natural disasters" due to force majeure, then the third type of spiritual disaster belongs to the category of "man-made disasters". Generally, there is a clear "perpetrator" in the spiritual disaster, and it is not simply a "disaster phenomenon" caused by a "spirit".

Generally, they involve ghosts, monsters, Asuras, gods and Buddhas, or are related to people who are practicing.

The entanglement between Li Nian, the Old Rat Group, and monsters like Kidomaru undoubtedly falls into the category of the third type of spiritual disaster.

A female corpse was found, right?

During the time that Li Nian was silent and thinking, it seemed that the female person on the other end of the phone misunderstood his meaning.

"Excuse me, do you have no time?"

Her tone was cautious and respectful: "In that case, I won't disturb your rest. I will contact other exorcists--"

"No need, I understand, I'll be there as soon as possible."

Although he was not happy about being woken up at this time, Li Nian still understood the importance of the matter. He also felt that as a newcomer, he was in no position to refuse. No work, no food. He naturally had no intention of shirking the job. He quickly cleared the resentment in his heart, nodded and took the job without saying a word.

As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the closet, ready to change his clothes and leave immediately.

Speaking of which, we are in Yachiyo City... At this point, we can only take a taxi.

Li Nian had just thought about the problem of transportation, and when the person on the other end of the phone heard his agreement, he immediately continued happily: "That's great! We will send someone to pick you up right away, and they will be here soon. Please be prepared in the meantime."

The call was hung up and Li Nian looked a little dazed.

Is there a special car pick-up?

And that respectful attitude... Li Nian felt that there seemed to be some subtle changes in the treatment he was receiving?

...No, maybe it's because the person who contacted me this time was not Jinguji.

Anyway, since someone was coming to pick him up, Li Nian didn't think much about it. He changed into a set of sportswear that was convenient for movement, left the room and walked towards the living room. He didn't know how long it would take for the car to arrive, so he felt that the only thing he needed to prepare was to find something to eat and drink to fill his stomach.

Walking into the living room, Li Nian suddenly found someone lying motionless on the round table.

I walked over and looked at it curiously.

It turned out that Qingshan fell asleep on the table.

The girl was snoring softly with her arms as her head rested on her head. Her glasses had slipped down and she looked like she was sleeping soundly. She had a silly smile on her face and saliva was flowing from the corners of her mouth.

"puff……"

Li Nian almost laughed out loud, but when she realized what was happening, she immediately covered her mouth and said softly, "You seem very happy. What kind of sweet dream are you having?"

Qingshan looks defenseless like this, and actually seems much cuter than his usual serious look.

Li Nian also noticed that there was a stack of papers under her arm, which seemed to be opened. There were many lines of text on it, and in some places there were many conspicuous marks marked with red pen. After looking carefully, he found that the text seemed to be the lines of some character. It seemed to be some script.

The script... is it an exercise for voice actors? Does Qingshan need to dub these lines?

At this point, Li Nian understood the situation. Qingshan seemed to have fallen asleep during practice.

But sleeping here...

Li Nian turned his head and looked at the open window over there, where gusts of cold wind blew in.

It was late at night, the air was filled with a chill and the temperature was very low. Li Nian felt that leaving the child here might cause her to catch a cold. Having said that, she didn't feel it was appropriate to wake her up and let her go back to her room to sleep.

After thinking about it, he simply walked over and closed the window over there, then went back to the room, took out a blanket and draped it over Qingshan.

As if because of the sudden extra weight, Qingshan frowned uncomfortably and opened his eyes in a daze.

Then, she saw Li Nian standing in front of her.

Li Nian was stunned for a moment when his eyes met with the dazed-looking girl. He didn't expect her to wake up so suddenly and was about to raise his hand to say hello.

"sorry, I……"

"Ahhhhhhh!"

Qingshan suddenly screamed and without saying a word, punched Li Nian in the face, hitting him hard in the face, causing his head to tilt back and he to step back.

After throwing the punch, Qingshan jumped up like a rabbit and immediately hid in the corner of the room, hugging his arms to protect his body, his face full of fear and his eyes blurred with tears.
