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

The demon king eventually fell and died at the hands of the exorcist.

The one who took action was none other than the demon exorcist girl who bore such a fate.

This was the fate and ending that was destined from the very beginning.

Although it can be said to be so high-end and impressive, of course, this is actually a routine that has been used too much by many creators in the world. The so-called love-hate relationship between the male and female protagonists is such a popular thing, and ending it with the death of one of them is an even more common ending.

"It's a very clichéd development, right? Is it disappointing to you?" Li Nian asked with a smile the silent An Yi.

"...In terms of the storyline, it is indeed a clichéd plot." An Yi took a deep breath, with a look of loss on his face: "But...it feels a little different."

An Yi has seen many things with the same routine, but the story written by Li Nian is different.

If he were given some time to sort things out, the experienced otaku would probably be able to analyze the specific differences from all aspects, but he was so emotional for two days that he couldn't calm down and think through all the ins and outs.

However, one thing is certain.

"Your story is too destructive..."

"Amai-san is right." Kato, who had quietly walked to his seat at some point, put down his schoolbag. He seemed to have heard their conversation and complained with a rather dissatisfied look: "It's better to say that it's too strong..."

"Kato, you're here... As expected, you feel the same way, right? If you read that, you'll definitely feel the same way."

"The story written by Li Nian... is really... how should I put it?"

Kato was at a loss for words to describe it, but couldn't find the right ones. After racking his brains, he could only come up with one sentence.

"That's really amazing. I can't even remember the last time I cried so hard..."

"Are you still crying?" Li Nian glared.

Kato glanced at him complainingly: "Isn't this caused by someone with bad intentions..."

"Hehe, Kato-san, it seems that I am still stronger." For some reason, An Yi showed a smug smile and made a strange pose of holding his forehead with one hand: "If you want to know why, it's because my pain is far greater than yours! Including the first time I finished reading it, I read the whole book three times, and I cried every time!"

Li Nian was a little dumbfounded.

"This isn't something to be proud of... and is it really necessary to watch it four times?"

"Of course we have to watch it multiple times!" An Yi said confidently, "After all, it's such a good story!"

Li Nian was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief. In short, their reactions explained one thing.

"So, instead of anger... you feel more sadness. That's really great..."

"…Kato, what you said before is absolutely right! Sadistic! This wicked guy who takes pleasure in the suffering of others is absolutely sadistic!"

"What are you thinking..." Li Nian rolled his eyes. "I'm not that interested, but your reaction does show that I achieved my writing goal - to make people cry. This also shows that this story can be so touching. This is the author's ideal expectation. I managed to keep myself together until the end... To be honest, I'm relieved."

"I understand the truth, but do you know that readers will find it very offensive to hear such words? When I think of the person in front of me who actually killed my Demon Lord, I feel the murderous intent in my heart stirring..."

An Yi seemed to be getting angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, and was extremely frantic. Li Nian's heart moved slightly, and he really felt the genuine murderous aura, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Honestly, calm down..."

"Can't you calm down?" An Yi slammed the table angrily. "Can't you give me a happy ending? This ending is so heartbreaking. I haven't slept well in the past two days! I feel uncomfortable every time I think about it!"

"I also think it's pitiful to leave Xiaoliang alone." Kato also cast a sad look, and the Xiaoliang he mentioned was the nickname of the heroine.

"No." Li Nian answered firmly and smiled evilly: "Let more people feel this pain."

"And you still say you're not a sadist..."

"I was just kidding." Li Nian restrained his smile, picked up the manuscript, flicked it, and suddenly asked: "Seriously, do you think this is a tragedy?"

Kato and Aki, who once cried their hearts out because of this story, fell into silence when faced with this question.

"Absolutely not."

Suddenly a voice sounded, it was Wu Geng who answered the question.

She walked up to Li Nian, handed her the manuscript she had already read, and spoke seriously.

"Unable to bear the long years of war, the two worlds longed for peace... The genius exorcist girl, who was born with the expectation of killing the demon king, longed for freedom... And finally understood the essence of giving from the words and deeds of those people, the love that the protagonist longed for... When the demon king died, all these conditions for happiness were met."

Like An Yi, Wu Geng has read this story many times in the past two days. She has already understood the gap between herself and Li Nian, and she is getting more and more excited as she talks about it.

"What's even more infuriating is... you actually used and maintained the lie to the very end. From the beginning to the end, no one knew that the protagonist was the Demon King. You split him into two characters, killed the person you secretly loved, Ryo, with your own hands, and even believed that he really was just like he said before, but just left suddenly, and went to the distant place he wanted to go as he said... In this story, whether it was the demon clan peace faction that rebelled against the Demon King, or the human exorcists who held the line, and even the Demon King himself, they all carried out their positions to the end and got everything they wanted... How can such a story be called a tragedy!? This is clearly an epic!"

Chapter 125: Handsome and sturdy...

"Is that ok? I have sorted out my thoughts and outline." Li Nian smiled: "How is it? Am I better?"

"...Humph, this is the only time I reluctantly agree with you."

Although he was a bit tired as usual, Wu Geng still nodded heavily and admitted it straightforwardly.

"It's unpleasant... but I have to admit, you are much better than me. You were right before, this is a completely different story from mine... No, there's nothing to be ashamed of admitting, I simply can't compete with you."

The work is the only proof of the author. After reading five updates of Li Nian's work, I have intuitively realized that this person's ability as an author is far superior to my own.

An outline is just an outline. Although it is far from being a complete master, Wu Geng has long-term writing experience and understands that filling the outline into a complete story is the most difficult thing.

What she just said was the full picture of the story. If you really explore it, the effort this person put into various details is what is most surprising... Those details are where one can best reflect one's strength, and it would be endless to find them all out.

But for Wu Geng, although she was very concerned about these small details, she was more concerned about the idea and framework of the story - Li Nian had pointed out that her main problem was here, so when she read Li Nian's work once and was impressed by it, and realized how powerful Li Nian was, she immediately remembered his point at that time, and immediately began to sort out the context of the entire work, that is, the outline of the story, and found that she was really beaten from the very beginning...

I really have to admit it.

Wu Geng took a deep breath and suddenly bowed to Li Nian.

Li Nian and the others were shocked, and then they heard Wu Geng speak sincerely.

"Please give me some advice as I am immature."

Kato covered his mouth and let out a small exclamation.

An Yi stared at the scene blankly and spoke directly.

"What did I see? That arrogant classmate Gogen actually gave in..."

Wu Geng immediately glared at him fiercely: "What do you mean by admitting defeat? Ah? I am asking a question without any shame!"

An Yi shrank back behind Li Nian in fear, nodding her head rapidly: "Yes, you are right, sir. I am short-sighted."

Li Nian smiled.

"What a shameless question..."

Wu Geng's expression froze.

"No, I... just said it casually."

Li Nian waved her hands, not really caring.

"It's okay to ask questions. Who can predict the future? I might even call you boss at that time... As for guidance... I can't say I can give you any advice. I promised to help you before, and I can't go back on my word now. Don't worry."

Wu Geng couldn't help laughing when he thought of his previous conversation with Li Nian in the stairwell.

"Then please."

"Easy to do."

I don’t know what he was thinking about, but Wu Geng smiled maliciously again.

"Should I call you Master from now on?"

Li Nian subconsciously thought about the scene and felt a strong sense of incongruity, so he immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"Please don't, it feels a bit disgusting."

"Master~~~Master~~~~"

She actually screamed on purpose, and used a coquettish tone. Li Nian and An Yi immediately got goosebumps, and Li Nian gave them a stern warning.

"If you keep making trouble, I won't help you."

"...Tsk, so stingy." Wu Geng clicked his tongue.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Li Nian suddenly felt that this child seemed to be getting more and more naughty in front of him...

"Come to think of it, I really have something I want to ask you now." Wu Geng's eyes lit up as if he suddenly remembered something.

"You ask." Li Nian naturally would not refuse.

"I feel like the battles between the characters in your book are subtle and very realistic." This is one of the highlights of Li Nian's book, but Wu Geng's eyes sparkled, and he didn't want to ask how to write the battles: "The setting seems very detailed. Is there a specific battle system setting? Where did you get it from?"

Wu Geng's curious question was out of her own personal interest. From choosing the subject of exorcist, we can see that she is very interested in this field. She made a lot of settings when she wrote her own book, so she thought the settings of spiritual power, spells, perception, etc. in Li Nian's book were very interesting...

"I just wrote it randomly." Li Nian answered straightforwardly without changing his smile.

Wu Geng said "oh" in dissatisfaction and gave up on further investigation.

……

……

Since he simply admitted defeat and said he wanted to ask Li Nian for advice, Wu seemed to have opened up a little bit today.

She probably realized that the quality of her previous work was not enough to win an award and would be buried in a pile of manuscripts, so she simply gave up on it and started conceiving a new story. This time she finally learned her lesson and decided to sort out the outline before starting to write. In her free time, she would occasionally ask Li Nian some questions and seek his advice.

But it makes no sense.

Because the questions asked are too diverse and unsystematic.

To be honest, the general meaning of these questions can basically be summarized into two categories.

That is [Is it good for me to write like this], [and how should I write it]

It can be seen that she has not even determined a general direction... No, she should have a general direction.

Li Nian realized that she might want to imitate herself...

The word imitation is not bad at all, because it is the essence of learning, but after thinking about it carefully, Li Nian still reminded her.

"You'd better forget my story first."

"……Why do you say that?"

"You are not suitable for writing stories with lofty themes. In fact, this type of story is not pleasing and difficult to write. If you are not careful, you will mess it up."

"…You think I'm going to screw up?"

Seeing Wu Geng’s unconvinced expression, Li Nian laughed.

"Yes." He added, "I can write what you can't, and I can think what you can't understand."

"..." Wu Geng was choked by this sarcasm, but she wanted to refute it but couldn't, because she really couldn't write a book as good as Li Nian's, and her quality couldn't reach his.

But Li Nian was telling the truth.

Li Nian writes well because he thinks clearly. This is not only because he has longer writing experience than Wu Geng, but more because he now has a clear mind, clear logic, and can organize good details.

But the five updates do not have these two points...or rather, the more decisive point is that this high school girl lacks experience.

There is a fine line between being moved and being out of character. If you don't write well, you will fail.

"I want to point out another problem here, that is, you are pretending to be profound." Li Nian emphasized: "This is fatal."

"Therefore..." Wu Geng couldn't sit still anymore, like a cat whose tail was stepped on... She felt that this was not an attack on her article but on her personally.

Li Nian might have had that intention.

After all, as a product of thinking, there is a saying that the writing reflects the person who wrote it.

Li Nian said this himself, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this problem was the biggest problem with Wu Geng's character...

"Okay, since you called me Master before, I decided to teach you a lesson first."

"You are still taking advantage of me..."

"Don't you like profound and meaningful truths? Then I will teach you what I think is the most profound and meaningful truth in the world."

Wu Geng was so frightened that he even forgot to argue. Just as Li Nian said, he became interested all of a sudden.

Li Nian spoke seriously, with cadences.

"Hipsterism is a disease and must be cured."

"……What's the meaning?"

I don’t understand! ?

Li Nian thought about it and felt that it was troublesome to explain, so he simply gave up and said directly.
