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

"Yes, yes, you are right. That's it. Goodbye."

Li Nian smiled, walked down the stairs and left.

Listening to the footsteps fading away, Wu Geng calmed down and muttered to himself.

"Is this guy using such a messed up method to comfort people..."

Yes, Wu Geng is not a fool. How could he not notice that Li Nian stayed here and said all these words to comfort himself.

I really didn't realize that he cared so much about other people's feelings and had such a gentle side...

No, he was such a person, but I just didn't realize it before.

Finally, Wu Geng smiled.

I said thank you to the air but no one heard it.

Chapter 119: Increasingly Frequent Commissions

early morning.

Because the work had been completed and there was no new idea for the time being, Li Nian no longer needed to write until midnight yesterday. Her daily routine returned to normal, she had a comfortable and full sleep, and opened her eyes clearly in the early morning.

After washing up and preparing to move his body, Li Nian planned to use this time to practice in the courtyard as usual.

However, when passing by the entrance hall, he suddenly felt something in his heart, so he stopped and looked towards the stairwell. Then he heard the sound of a door opening on the second floor. Not long after, he saw Qingshan in pajamas rubbing his sleepy eyes and staggering down.

"Good morning." Li Nian greeted at the right time.

"……what?"

Qingshan opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Li Nian standing below. He blinked twice in pain before he reacted slowly.

“Oh, it’s classmate Li Nian… Good morning… You’re up really early. Haaaaah~~”

Her voice was weak and hoarse when she responded. She couldn't help but yawning loudly at the end. Her expression was very listless and tired, which showed that she was not fully awake yet.

Li Nian looked at her two big dark circles and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

"You too...but you look very pale. Did you not sleep well last night?"

"Well... I can't help it... because I only slept for so long..." Qingshan rubbed his eyes hard and answered vaguely: "But it doesn't matter, I just need to wash my face..."

Qingshan walked down the stairs to wash up. Li Nian made way for her. At this moment, he remembered that he saw Qingshan sleeping on the table in the living room last time. He guessed that she must have practiced hard until late last night, so he made another suggestion out of good intentions.

"Did you get the time wrong? It's still early for class. It's only past six o'clock now. You can sleep a little longer."

"Although I really want to do that... but I got up on purpose." Qingshan waved his hands helplessly: "I can't help it. It's my turn to clean today, and I have a lot of part-time jobs scheduled the rest of the time. I can only do it in the morning... I also have to take into account the time it takes to make breakfast, wake up Mashiro, and walk to school. If I don't get up early at this time, it will be too late."

"Yeah……"

Li Nian watched her hurriedly walk into the washroom across the corridor and shook her head slightly.

Just as he expected, Qingshan really had a lot of things to do, and now they piled up to the point where he had to cut down on his sleep time...

"I'm so busy, I'm not sure if I'm on the verge of exploding. I'm afraid my body will collapse if I continue like this... I hope I'm just overthinking it."

Li Nian thought for a moment, and suddenly extended his perception outward, without invading the residents' private rooms, but carefully scanning every inch of public areas such as the corridors, living rooms, kitchens, etc.

After confirming the situation, he moved his mind slightly and suddenly waved his hand.

Then, the air in the entire Sakurasou began to flow under the impetus of his mental power, and wind blew from all directions, leaving no corner untouched, rolling up dust and garbage, and gathering towards the living room from all directions. Then the drawer was opened, and two large black bags were pulled out and shaken open. The garbage was divided into two categories and stuffed into different bags. After everything was stuffed in, the wind subsided, the bags were automatically tied, and floated back into Li Nian's hands.

The whole process was completed very quickly, in no more than thirty seconds, with very little noise, almost silent. Qingshan, who was still washing up, did not notice that the entire Sakurasou had been cleaned spotlessly by Li Nian's telekinesis.

After helping Qingshan with this insignificant task, Li Nian picked up the garbage bag and quietly left Sakurasou, planning to find a place outside to practice.

Li Nian threw the garbage into the trash heap, brushed the dust off his hands, and turned around.

"Then let's warm up first and run to the park ten kilometers away..."

He was just about to do so and began to do the warm-up exercises of leg stretching to activate his body, to stir up the spiritual power in his body and start strengthening his body. He started his morning exercise by running at full speed between high-rise buildings.

At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang. There was a call so early in the morning.

Li Nian stopped what he was doing, took out his cell phone and saw that it was the number he had already noted - the Yin-Yang Bureau's dedicated line.

He was a little surprised for a moment, turned his head to look at the sun that had just risen over there, and sighed again.

"Last time it was midnight, this time it's early morning... As an exorcist, you can really work at any time. I really don't know when the next time will be..."

In any case, Li Nian answered the call.

The content of the call was, as expected, a new work commission had arrived.

……

……

There was a Chinese restaurant nearby that also served breakfast and sold steamed buns and the like. Li Nian decided to go there as the meeting place, bought breakfast, and stood on the street, waiting for the car to pick her up while she ate juicy meat buns and drank hot soy milk, all the while thinking about the information she had just learned over the phone.

The spiritual disaster he needed to deal with this time was suspected to be a first-class spiritual disaster.

Li Nian recalled the definition of the first type of spiritual disaster.

This type of spiritual disaster is the most common type of spiritual disaster.

A typical example is that there is a problem with the stability of a spiritual vein in a certain place, resulting in a leak, or an unnatural gathering of spiritual energy is observed in a certain place. These anomalies that are detected early will be classified as the first type of spiritual disaster. In this type of spiritual disaster, the objects that need to be dealt with are generally only various kinds of spiritual energy.

It may not seem like a threat, but that's only relatively speaking. It doesn't mean that we can just leave it alone.

Because overly dense spiritual energy will have a serious impact on everything it corrodes, especially ordinary humans. Ordinary people cannot perceive unusual phenomena and cannot manipulate spiritual power. If they mistakenly enter the area and the dense spiritual energy invades their bodies and combines with their flesh and blood, it is not surprising that they will become anything they want.

If other things are corroded for too long in that environment, they will easily become alienated and turned into monsters and demons. The tree monster that Li Nian dealt with during his first spiritual disaster is a typical example - of course, the first type of spiritual disaster had already evolved into the second type by then.

Therefore, the first type of spiritual disaster needs to be dealt with as early as possible - in order to nip it in the bud before it escalates into a worse situation.

In addition, the first type of spiritual disasters are determined officially, and there are various sizes and forms, such as the great spiritual disaster that occurred in Kyoto recently...

No, that doesn't necessarily mean it's the first type of spiritual disaster...

Li Nian shook her head.

In short, the intelligence given for this spiritual disaster has clearly pointed out that there was a problem with the stability of a certain spiritual vein node, and strong spillover fluctuations were observed. Although the specific situation has not yet been clarified and the details need to be investigated, judging from the location, which is in a remote mountainous area, it is 80% to 90% likely to be a simple leakage of spiritual energy.

It is worth mentioning that because the observed spiritual waves showed that the scale seemed a bit large, Li Nian was asked whether he needed the assistance of another exorcist. He did not take it all on his own, but followed the advice and answered yes, so this time...

Li Nian suddenly noticed a familiar car slowly approaching from the other side of the street - it was the car that Mr. Iwata drove to pick him up last time, and it seemed that he was coming this time as well.

The car drove up to me and I rolled down the passenger window, revealing a girl's face that was obviously unhappy.

Li Nian smiled and handed over a bun.

"Good morning, Isayama-senpai. Would you like to eat a bun to calm down first?"

Chapter 120: The Secret That Should Have Been Confirmed Long Ago

Isayama was dressed in a tasteless sportswear, and his hair was untidy and sticky in some places. It seemed that he had just been woken up from his sleep, and hurriedly got up, dressed, and rushed over. Of course, he had no time to eat breakfast. He responded to the greeting casually, reached out and grabbed the bun without any hesitation, stuffed it into his mouth fiercely, biting it as if he had a deep hatred, as if he had some resentment about getting up early?

"Good morning, Mr. Li."

As expected, the burly former mercenary Yan Duan was in the driver's seat. He also got up early in the morning, but he was dressed in a neat suit and looked quite energetic. He greeted Li Nian with a smile.

"Good morning, nice to see you again, Mr. Iwabata."

“…@#￥＆*@#”

Isayama pointed at the store behind Li Nian and said something vaguely.

Although Li Nian didn't understand what he said, she got the meaning. She turned around and bought some more food and drinks for Jianshan. After handing them to her, she opened the car door and sat in the back seat, asking Jianshan curiously.

"Senior sister, you seem to have a lot of resentment."

Jian Shan took a sip of soy milk and let out a long sigh. After filling his empty stomach with something warm, he felt much better. However, he rolled his eyes after hearing what Li Nian said and said unhappily, "Being dragged out of your beautiful warm bed, do you have any resentment?"

"Of course I have a lot of resentment... But I remember you usually go to the Kendo Club for morning practice, right? You should be used to getting up early, right?"

The first time Li Nian met Jianshan was in the dojo early in the morning. Jianshan probably also had the habit of morning exercises, and this was about the time when she would naturally get up.

Before Isayama, Iwabata burst into laughter.

"Because Xiao Huangquan just came back from Osaka yesterday, and he didn't even have time to rest properly before he was called to do a new job. Of course, he must be very resentful."

"Just came back from Osaka..."

Li Nian looked over in confusion.

Isayama's face darkened, as if he was recalling some bad experience, and his teeth were chattering with anger. "It was a third-class spiritual disaster that kept me busy for half a week. I was sure that it was a monster that killed someone, but that bastard left too few traces. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't catch the criminal. I could only leave it as an unsolved case... Damn it!"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. At the end she cursed fiercely and tore the steamed bun into her mouth hard to vent her anger, her cheeks puffed up.

So Isayama disappeared these few days because he went to deal with a third-type spiritual disaster... and it took half a week to find the criminal, and he escaped.

Her current anger was probably not just accumulated because of getting up early. Obviously, the main reason was that she had been busy for a long time but did not get the expected results, and the criminals did not receive the judgment they deserved.

Sometimes... no, if you think about it, you'll know that this happens quite often.

A smart guy who wants to kill someone really well will carefully and cleanly erase any traces that may be traced back to him. Not to mention the crimes committed by humans, there are countless unsolved cases that have not been investigated. Moreover, unlike ordinary people, for those of them who usually hide themselves in the dark, doing such things is much easier for them. No matter the means of killing or the means of erasing traces, they are not something that can be guessed by common sense. Only insiders like them can track them effectively.

If even the industry insiders can't catch the trace...

Li Nian was silent, and naturally thought of the spiritual disaster he had dealt with recently.

Apparently Isayama had also heard of his deeds, and at this moment he was thinking of the same thing as him. After swallowing the food whole, he suddenly brought it up.

"It's a good thing that this job is in the early morning instead of the middle of the night... Speaking of the midnight job, I heard from Uncle Iwabata that you recently handled a third-type spiritual disaster? And you solved the case in two hours?"

"Yes." Li Nian nodded.

And they killed the criminal on the spot.

Isayama was silent for a while. Was it because he knew that this incident would end like this?

But she then suddenly sighed: "You are really amazing. As far as I know, ordinary newcomers will not receive commissions from the third type of spiritual disasters."

“…Is that true?”

It was the first time Li Nian heard of it.

"That's true, even if we are short of manpower, we can't let incompetent people do dangerous things, right?" Isayama thought of something and continued thoughtfully, "On the other hand, the industry also puts ability first, so as long as you have ability, you don't care about qualifications... You are the one who defeated Kidomaru, and since Minister Tenruo personally went to test you, that adult must understand your strength better than me and will make a correct evaluation of it... It's only natural that you will be placed in the right position."

“…It’s that person indeed.”

It seems that his reputation in the hall has been greatly improved because of the exorcist named Tian Ruo Qing Xian? The head of the Curse Search Department... is indeed powerful.

Isayama said again with some disappointment.

"Perhaps if you were to handle this incident, you wouldn't let the criminal escape justice like I did..."

"Not necessarily." Li Nian shrugged: "I just happened to meet a careless guy. It's easy to find him."

Isayama smiled self-deprecatingly.

"You don't have to comfort me. I know myself well. I'm just not good at tracking such delicate things... Perhaps the more fundamental reason is that I hesitated too much in the key decision of such a matter... Compared to me, you are much more decisive. It seems that you simply defeated the monster at that time?"

As expected, Jianshan knew that Li Nian had killed the monster.

"I was acting in self-defense..." Li Nian wanted to come up with the explanation she had prepared long ago.

"Don't lie to me." Isayama shook his head: "You are not the kind of person who would hold back on the enemy."

"..."

Li Nian knew there was no need to explain anything, so she chose to accept it.

Isayama smiled bitterly.

Unlike Li Nian, she was not the kind of person who would kill someone so decisively.

For her, even if the opponent is an enemy, she would rather deprive him of his combat effectiveness and preserve his life.

But at this time, she commented on Li Nian's actions in this way.

"You did the right thing."

Isayama said this, and he seemed to feel very tired and sank into the leather chair.

"Times have changed. Because of that guy... the appearance of Yuyuko, the monsters have started to become restless."

Li Nian instantly perked up when that name appeared.
