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

Isayama continued thoughtfully.

"It's not the same as before... No, it's almost back to the old days... The conflict between humans and monsters... When I fought Kidomaru, it was the same... It's no longer a comfortable situation where I can hold back against those guys. If I continue like this, I'll be the only one who will die. I should learn from you and change my naivety."

"I agree that you should be more decisive in battle... But the youkai have become restless recently. Is it because of Yuyuko?"

"Correct."

Li Nian asked cautiously, "...I have never asked where this monster came from."

Jianshan raised his head and observed Li Nian through the rearview mirror with a smile.

"You're the only one who seems to be unaware... Only at this moment do I really feel like you're a newbie who has recently awakened his abilities."

"I really do not know."

"I can see that, provided that your reaction is not fake... But I don't really think you are a newcomer, so I think it's time for you to know now." Isayama waved his hand: "Yuyuko... I only know that it was a big monster entrenched in Kyoto four hundred years ago. It had countless monsters under its command. It was the largest monster force in Japan's history at that time. According to records, some people paid a huge price to seal it..."

"Four hundred years ago...Kyoto...sealed."

Li Nian frowned tightly. In fact, he had always suspected something. This was also what he wanted to confirm by asking around. The information revealed in Isayama's words made him feel that his guess was correct.

"You actually guessed it, right..." Isayama sighed, "Yes, you guessed it right. It's no secret in the industry - the Kyoto Great Spiritual Disaster that killed your parents was caused by Yuyuko breaking the seal."

Chapter 121: Quick Decision

This child's parents died in that spiritual disaster...

After hearing this, Yan Duan, who had been tactful and had not interrupted, and had been concentrating on driving, could not help but look at the rearview mirror to observe Li Nian's reaction.

Li Nian's brows were furrowed, his eyes became extremely cold, his fists were clenched, and he unconsciously used a lot of strength, with veins bulging.

This scene was not missed by Isayama who was staring at the rearview mirror and sighed inwardly.

Li Nian's biological parents died in a spiritual disaster, and Yuyuko was the culprit behind all this.

Precisely because she knew this, Isayama had been hesitant about the matter of Yuyuko and the Kyoto spiritual disaster, and had not proactively talked too much about these things with Li Nian. She even deliberately avoided the topic because she thought that this news would be very exciting for Li Nian.

But it is impossible to conceal it for too long. Almost everyone in the industry knows that the cause of the Great Spiritual Disaster in Kyoto was that Yuyuko broke the seal. Sooner or later, Li Nian will hear it from others. Moreover, he has already had a grudge with Yuyuko and has been involved in it, which makes it even more necessary. Taking all this into consideration, Isayama said these words at this time, and was prepared for this man to become furious later, and even thought of words of comfort.

But Li Nian soon calmed down again.

He had actually expected this, but now he confirmed this fact from Isayama's mouth.

The reason for his loss of composure just now was that some of his memories from his previous life suddenly revived and burst into his mind, making him somewhat confused about the concept of "self". He put himself in the role of "the son of murdered parents", and his anger inevitably increased.

But he soon realized that this anger was false and did not come from himself.

Even though the memories were taken over without any omissions, there was no such thing as a fusion of souls. Even though they had the same name, they were essentially two different people.

But it's not without feeling.

Even if there were only memories, the weight accumulated over the past decade still affected him to some extent. He experienced the warmth of that family, the little happiness he had in his previous life, and the deep despair after that happiness was destroyed.

Li Nian has always felt regretful about this and found it difficult to let it go.

That anger must contain his own will.

However, this is the extent of my emotional fluctuations.

After a moment of confusion, he coldly pulled himself out of the "sense of substitution".

Finally, just a calm answer.

"I see."

"…You are much calmer than I expected."

Li Nian replied calmly.

"Of course I will keep this account in mind, and I will get it back for them sooner or later."

"...Don't let hatred blind your eyes." Jianshan reminded Li Nian with a worried look on his face: "It would be bad if even your judgment is affected."

Li Nian was a little surprised when he was suddenly lectured, and then he realized that Isayama had some misunderstanding.

It's not about hatred, it's just a duty.

The word "they" does not only refer to the two deceased couples...

——But if it is said like this, Li Nian will no longer seem like "Li Nian".

So Li Nian shrugged without explaining, decided to let the misunderstanding continue and answered.

"I know. I know my limits." He sneered, "Rather, it should be the fox who is holding a grudge against me. After all, I have cut off one of her powerful arms."

If you count it, Li Nian has accidentally completed a small revenge by killing Kidomaru.

"… I also want to ask about this. Have you really not been in any trouble recently?"

"No." Li Nian shook his head: "Maybe they have forgotten about me... or maybe you guys have done a really good job of keeping it secret, so they don't even know who to take revenge on."

Indeed, a long time has passed since Li Nian killed Gui Tong Wan, but the other party has not made any moves in these days, and the expected revenge has not come yet, as if he has been forgotten as Li Nian said.

Isayama was skeptical.

"Could it be that the investigation and search in the hall have put too much pressure on Yuyuko and the others, leaving them no time to take care of other things? ... In any case, you still have to be careful."

"I know it without you having to tell me."

Li Nian was just talking and was not naive enough to think that he would be forgotten. He never relaxed and was always ready to go into battle at any time.

But as time went on, he became less and less worried about being attacked. Instead, he was looking forward to it, because his study of the skill tree had been constantly improving, and he was making steady progress every day. The longer time went on, the stronger he became, and the more fearless he became.

"Let's not talk about these depressing topics. The more we talk, the more depressed we'll get." Li Nian waved his hand and decided to drop the topic. He already knew enough information.

"That's true. Talking about these heavy things makes people feel worse and worse..." Isayama rubbed his nose bridge to relax himself.

"Let's change the subject. I just happen to have something to ask you, Senior... Do you know someone named Kasumigaoka Utaha?"

Isayama was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I know."

"I want to ask which class she is in specifically."

Isayama blinked and suddenly gave a sly smile of interest.

"Why are you asking this? Want to find Kasumigaoka? Could it be that..."

"I need to find her for something. To be precise, it's not me who wants to find him, but someone else who wants to find her."

Isayama clicked his tongue softly and waved his finger with an expression that said, "No one would believe you."

"Come on, come on, you guys just like to find some boring excuses..."

"I can roughly guess that you have some misunderstanding, but the situation is not what you think."

"Forget it, I won't ask any more questions." Jianshan interrupted Li Nian with a chuckle: "What I can tell you is that Kasumigaoka is in our class."

"It's in your class..."

"Well, so, you need my help, senior?"

Li Nian nodded simply.

"Yes, I want to find a time to ask her out recently."

"Ok, I'll go and ask her out for you." Isayama readily agreed to this little thing, and then said with a smile: "But she is a real iceberg beauty, a high-class flower. Don't blame me for not reminding you, the corpses of those who confessed to her and were dumped can circle the earth if you pile them up."

"That's too much... It's none of my business anyway. I'm not going to confess to her."

"That girl seems to be very fed up with it, so I can't guarantee she won't refuse."

"So if you go to ask someone out for me with this misunderstanding, you're bound to be rejected... I'd better bring someone to look for her myself, so that it seems more sincere. Can you please help me confirm her free time? Yes, tomorrow afternoon, if she's free after school, I'll go find her."

"Tomorrow afternoon... I don't know how long it will take to eliminate this spiritual disaster."

"There's just a problem with the spirit vein. There's nothing else wrong. It can be solved in no time, right?"

Isayama shook his head.

"It sounds simple to repair and maintain a spirit vein, but it is actually a delicate and laborious job. Depending on the scale, it may take two or three days."

“…Is that so?”

Li Nian was full of doubt. With his current knowledge and understanding of the situation, it was not a difficult task...

"Be prepared mentally."

Isayama nodded seriously.

……

……

However, two hours later, Isayama got on the return bus with a confused look on his face.

Chapter 122: He is always in excellent condition when working

Time goes back to one hour ago.

……

……

When the two men just arrived at the scene, the entire mountain had been cordoned off by the police who had been notified in advance and had also prepared to evacuate the surrounding residents, causing quite a commotion.

After showing their exorcist qualifications, the two were able to enter the forest. However, the place where the spiritual disaster occurred was much further inside. The location seemed to be in an area that had not yet been artificially developed, and there was no mountain road to get there.

Of course, this is not a problem for the two of them.

"Red Lotus!"

Drawing out the spiritual sword Lion King, Isayama called out the spiritual beast Ran Honglian that resided in it, leaped up, stretched out her hand and pointed, and Ran Honglian carried her directly into the woods.

Li Nian didn't have such a convenient mount, but he activated body strengthening, jumped onto the tree trunk, and ran at a high altitude, his speed was not inferior to others, and he kept up steadily.

They headed straight for their destination and soon approached the contaminated area, and stopped at a location with a wide view.

At this distance, after taking a look, he was able to confirm through spiritual vision that there was indeed a problem with one of the spiritual vein nodes, and the scale of the leak was quite large. In a short period of time, it had spread to an area of ​​two kilometers in radius, and was still steadily expanding outward. The flowers, plants and trees in the area that were eroded by spiritual power were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the "pollution" was gradually getting worse. It was only a matter of time before it would evolve into a second type of spiritual disaster.

None of this was unexpected.

"Now we'll be busy."

Jianshan smiled bitterly. Just by looking at the situation from the outside, she could estimate how much effort the two of them would need to put in to clean up the rich spiritual energy and fill the source of the leakage. She expected that it would take at least two days to complete this task.

"It's okay." Li Nian held a different opinion, but felt that the situation was not as bad as he had imagined, so he walked straight into the forest and wanted to go into the core area to see the situation.

Isayama did not follow suit, but immediately clarified the division of labor.

"You go in and take a look first. I'll set up a barrier outside to control the situation." She thought about it and warned Li Nian again, "Remember not to act rashly before that."

Li Nian said "oh", and the next moment his figure disappeared from the spot.

Did you really listen to it?

Isayama thought helplessly.

She really couldn't see through this guy who claimed to be a newcomer. Even though she could see during the battle with Kidomaru that he was obviously very strong and must be hiding something from her, sometimes he acted like a real newcomer and didn't even know some common sense in the industry.

However, maintaining spiritual veins is such a simple matter and shouldn't cause any trouble, Jianshan thought, and was not too worried. He mounted his mount and began to gallop around the polluted area, setting up the barrier.

However, when she was halfway through the arrangement, she suddenly felt a strong wave, and the spiritual energy around her rushed towards the center like being swallowed by a whale.

Jianshan looked up and saw a huge formation suddenly appearing in the sky above the center of the spiritual disaster, which was absorbing the spiritual energy.

Isayama was shocked by the scale and complexity of this technique. For a moment, he stared blankly at the rapid outline of the technique, which was completed at an incredible speed, and then slowly pressed down to the ground...

She suddenly realized the significance of this phenomenon and came back to her senses.

That guy Li Nian! Didn't we tell him not to act rashly?

Jianshan immediately ordered Luan Honglian to rush to the scene. He rushed to the center and just in time saw Li Nian slowly pressing down his hands, and the huge formation was about to sink into the ground.

"You're here." Li Nian looked back at her, smiled, and explained, "I looked at the situation and felt it wasn't that troublesome, so I prepared to seal it myself."

Jianshan understood that Li Nian wanted to directly block the place where the spiritual vein was leaking by sealing it. This was also a common solution, but...

"No! You're being too hasty! The counterattack will be fierce!"

This should be the final step, and it is something that should be done slowly and steadily. Because of this, maintaining the spirit vein is a hard job that requires carefulness and concentration.
