The girl was silently looked up and down by Li Nian. She felt a little cold in his eyes and was a little scared. She thought, could it be that this master really didn't want the secret to be revealed and really wanted to silence her? She immediately hid behind the young master in fear.
Nura Rikuo was originally speaking jokingly, but now seeing that Li Nian seemed to really care, he immediately added another sentence.
"I assure you, Bingli is not a talkative person. She can be trusted and she won't say anything nonsense."
Li Nian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, as if coming back to his senses from his thoughts, and gave an apologetic smile to the girl who was looking at him timidly like a deer.
"I'm just a little curious..."
Yes, he looked at the girl a few more times, with a bit of scrutiny, because he could tell at a glance that the girl in front of him was a pure youkai, and her true form seemed to be a snow woman. It wasn't that he had any grudges against this identity, but at this moment he suddenly remembered the sword that Nura Rikuo had swung to help him block the attack before, and the cold wind and snow it brought, it was as if the girl had transformed into some form of spirit and possessed the sword...
Now is definitely not the time to care about this matter, so Li Nian stopped thinking about it and continued.
"It doesn't matter whether it's exposed or not. I didn't expect this secret to remain forever... So, this is the third time we've met, so the second time is..."
Nura Rikuo smiled and said, "Please let me keep this a secret as well... Although I also think that this secret cannot be kept forever, I hope that Mr. Li... No, classmate Li Nian, you can also help me keep the secret."
"..."
Li Nian understood something from his sudden change of address, and he looked thoughtful.
The man laughed heartily.
"Anyway, I made it in time this time. It wasn't a wasted trip like Kidomaru did that time, so it was worth it... But since you've already solved the problem, there's no reason for me to stay here any longer. Let's say goodbye and see each other again someday. Bingli, let's go."
After saying that, he turned and left. The feather robe he wore outside fluttered in the wind, and the "fear" emblem on it swayed in the wind, looking very ostentatious.
The girl named Bingli hurriedly bowed to Li Nian and Jianshan, said sorry, and turned around to jog to catch up.
Li Nian said.
"I will remember the favor I owe you. If you need anything, just let me know. Don't forget this."
"Then as repayment, if I invite you to my place for a drink, you must not refuse."
Leaving these words behind, the man waved his hand, and together with the girl, both of them disappeared as if blown away by the wind.
Li Nian looked at this scene, confirmed that he could no longer detect their breath, and suddenly asked Jianshan.
"What exactly is the true nature of the Nura clan's monster bloodline?"
Isayama answered immediately.
"It's a sly ghost."
Chapter 139 Identity Exposed
Information about the Naughty Ghost quickly emerged in Li Nian's mind.
This monster in Japanese folklore will sneak into a banquet in the evening when everyone is busy, and sit in the living room to drink tea. The family members will wonder who it is, but they will be distracted because they are too busy, and end up letting it eat and drink to its heart's content, and then it will disappear without a trace.
It sounds like it's just an idle little monster, but it's actually not the case, because it has another identity in the legend.
"The Lord of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons..."
"Yes." It was normal for Li Nian to lack some basic common sense. Isayama added: "The Nura Group, founded by Nura Nabi, participated in the sealing of Yuyuko and replaced it to become the largest monster force in Japan, and has maintained this position to this day."
The logic of Isayama's supplement was very clear, and Li Nian nodded in understanding.
He originally didn't believe in such things as myths and legends, thinking that they were too exaggerated and false, and lacked objectivity - but now it seems that they still have a certain objectivity.
"Legends reflect history, this is really interesting... Isayama-senpai, I remember you came to Chiba to study because you were assigned the task of monitoring someone. That person is...?"
"That's Nura Rikuo." Isayama blurted out everything: "He is currently studying in Class 2, Class C as a human. When he enrolled, I was assigned the task of monitoring him and transferred to Chiba."
This was something that Li Nian, as an exorcist, would know sooner or later. If he wanted to stay in Chiba permanently, he would have to deal with the Nura clan. Isayama waited for this opportunity and immediately explained everything without reservation.
Class C of Year 2 is Kanda's class. Li Nian recalled the strange reaction of the short and handsome boy with glasses when he saw him when he went to Kanda's class, and the name that Kanda called him. He then understood why Nura Rikuo said it was the third time they had met. It turned out that the second time they met was in Kanda's class. The short boy and the tall monster that appeared here today were the same person... This immediately made Li Nian feel a little unbelievable.
"The difference between the state when transformed into a human is too big..."
"Have you seen what he looks like in human form? Yes, he has indeed changed a lot. This is because when the Nura clan passed on to the third generation, the monster bloodline has been weakened to only a quarter. It is better to say that his human form is his original appearance."
"Nura Rikuo is a mixed-blood?" Li Nian was even more surprised: "It has been passed down to the third generation, and one quarter is mixed-blood. Does that mean that his father and his grandfather Nura Rikuo both married human women?"
"exactly."
"Um……"
The general plot shouldn't be about combining with monsters just to maintain the purity of bloodline and the status of the organization... No, we can no longer use assumptions to figure out that organization.
"Don't think that Nura Rikuo is weak just because he has only one-quarter of Nura Rikuo's bloodline," Isayama reminded.
"...Of course I don't think so. It's better to say that hybrids are generally ridiculously strong."
"……what are you saying?"
"…I didn't say anything. I just thought that if I had the chance, I should go and see the full picture of the Nura Group in person."
Li Nian thought that it was necessary for him to see with his own eyes what the Nura Group was like, as he could not make a clear judgment based on speculation alone.
Isayama seemed to agree with this.
"You really should go and see it with your own eyes. Exorcists often have some prejudices when they hear the name of the Nura Group. I was the same at the beginning, but after actually going there, you will find... Never mind, I won't influence you with my personal opinion."
"Now that you say that, Isayama, I'm even more interested."
He said he was going to treat me to a drink? Li Nian was really looking forward to it.
Unlike the banquet that he was still thinking about, Isayama's brows were tightly furrowed, his heart full of worries.
"You should focus on the present situation first... You seem to have been attacked unexpectedly, Kasumigaoka and the others..."
Li Nian was stunned, and then felt troubled.
"Yes, I have seen it all. My identity as an exorcist has been completely exposed."
"Me too." Isayama looked worried. "I'll go explain to Kasumigaoka. You must tell the others not to talk nonsense..."
"...I understand...this little thing is not important. I remember that before you came here, Isayama, you went to deal with a spiritual disaster and found three bodies. Were they those people of Yamamoto?"
"...Yes, we can confirm that it was these two monsters who killed him. They tortured those people and found out about you."
"..."
Those three thugs are dead.
At first, Li Nian thought it was a bit too much, but on second thought, he felt that he deserved it.
Don't think that you deserve what you get and put personal grudges aside.
From the moment they joined the Old Rat Group, this group of people had already embarked on a path of no return. Perhaps their starting point was just out of vanity and playfulness, but no one could not be held responsible for their own actions. They deserved to die. Li Nian was not a saint, and he had no mercy on these social scums who had disappeared.
As for the fact that he was involved in their deaths... Li Nian admitted it, but when he calculated that all the troubles were caused by them, he felt that they were almost even.
Isayama observed his expression and saw that he had no expression on his face. She wanted to say something else, but suddenly her cell phone rang and she answered it immediately.
"Inspector Kosaka? Yes, yes, ah, I was just about to tell you that the spiritual disaster has been dealt with and you can come in to conduct the on-site evidence collection and investigation. How about this, I'll come to your place first."
Li Nian nodded and skipped the topic of the three people.
"let's go."
……
……
Because Li Nian was not an official staff member of the Onmyoji Bureau, but an independent exorcist, more of the aftermath work was taken over by Isayama, who was responsible for liaison and coordination. After Li Nian cooperated with the investigation a little and took notes, he was released early and was able to go back to rest.
But before leaving, Isayama reminded him again to be prepared, because there would definitely be important people who would come to him to question him about this matter.
Returning to Sakurasou, Li Nian pushed the door open and entered the living room, and saw everyone gathered around the table.
There were more people this time than the time with Shiina. Everyone was there, including Shiina, Kanda, Mitaka Jin, Aoyama, Misaki... Even Akasaka Ryunosuke had a tablet placed at a seat. Everyone from Sakurasou was there.
In addition, Kasumigaoka and Gogen were also sitting next to him and did not leave, waiting for his explanation.
Everyone looked quietly at Li Nian who pushed the door open.
Li Nian knew that Kanda had already told everyone what happened today.
So he took out the small black notebook from his arms and threw it on the table.
"As you can see, I am an exorcist."
Chapter 140 Li Nian's Persistence
The black notebook fell on the table, face up, and several gold-plated Chinese characters appeared in front of everyone, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Exorcist qualification certificate.
"Let me see!" Uemigusa snatched the certificate, opened it and read the contents carefully. Shiina, who was sitting next to her, also stretched her head over to take a peek. Uemigusa made a strange noise while reading it! Shiina also followed suit and shouted, as if she had discovered something. After reading it for a long time, Uemigusa solemnly put the certificate back on the table and said to everyone.
"can't read!"
"Kamiigusa, don't make trouble at this time." Isayama and Kamiigusa are old acquaintances. Kasumigaoka, who is in the same class with them, naturally also knows Kamiigusa and knows what kind of person she is. At this time, he warned her righteously. The alien who was fearless actually shrank his neck, said "oh" and stopped, and put on a deliberately well-behaved look.
Xia Zhiqiu nodded with satisfaction and turned to Li Nian: "Nothing can be more convincing than what I and the classmates over there have seen with our own eyes."
Li Nian thought about it and spread out his palms again. With a thought, a flame jumped on his palm with a puff. Then he waved his hand down, and the flame jumped into the air and suddenly turned into a lifelike little dragon. It flew around his body for a few circles, showing an agile appearance like a living thing. Finally, it returned to his hand and turned back into an ordinary flame, which went out as he clenched his fist.
When he showed off this skill, exclamations of all sizes rang out in the living room.
"So." Li Nian shrugged: "That's it."
"Is what Kota said true..." Even Ren, who was always calm, showed a very surprised expression at this moment. When Kanda said it, he didn't quite believe it. Even after seeing the exorcist qualification certificate, he felt it was not realistic. He was always skeptical in his heart until he saw Li Nian show this skill, then he confirmed that he was really an exorcist.
Kanda seemed restless, and suddenly lowered his head to apologize to Li Nian.
"I'm sorry! You must have kept this a secret, and it was wrong of me to reveal it without your permission... But, I feel it is necessary to tell everyone about this."
When he saw Li Nian being stabbed in the abdomen and seriously injured, he felt that it involved many dangerous things and he had to tell everyone, so he summoned all the members of Sakurasou to discuss the matter.
Li Nian nodded, not blaming him: "It's okay, I feel like I can't keep it a secret any longer."
Although Isayama said that he wanted to keep it a secret, Li Nian had been thinking about it over and over again. He felt that after this sudden incident, it was not appropriate for him to hide his identity as an exorcist from the people of Sakurasou. On second thought, although the job of an exorcist was mysterious, it was still upright and there was nothing that could not be said. So even if Kanda didn't say it, Li Nian was going to find a chance to tell them. So now that Kanda had already mentioned it, Li Nian just went with the flow and admitted it very straightforwardly.
Qingshan recalled some of Li Nian's strange behaviors in the past, and asked with a complicated expression: "So when you invited us to dinner last time, you said you found a new job with a good income..."
"That's what I'm referring to. The work of an exorcist is really lucrative."
Li Nian walked to the kitchen, took out a cup and poured water.
"Then why did you go out in the middle of the night that night..." Qingshan continued to ask.
"Because of the mission."
Gogen then asked, "You suddenly skipped classes and disappeared during the past few days. Is it because of... uh, work?"
"right"
Li Nian took the water cup and sat in the empty seat next to Wugeng. He drank it all up in one gulp. He felt better and took a long breath. He put the cup down and asked nonchalantly, "Then, knowing that I am a demon exorcist, what do you think?"
Just as Wu Geng opened his mouth to say something, Shang Jinggusa slammed the table and shouted excitedly.
"Of course it feels so-cool!!!"
She ran to the front of Li Nian's seat and got in front of Li Nian.
"Hey, how did you become an exorcist, Rookie-kun? How long have you been doing it? What skills do you have? How do you use those strange spells that are like superpowers? What is the content of your mission? Who are the guys who are your enemies? Hey, tell me! Tell me quickly! I'm curious!"
Shang Jingcao's eyes were full of curiosity. He asked all kinds of questions like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube, as if he wanted to dig out Li Nian's brain and read all his secrets.
"I knew it." Kasumigaoka shook her head helplessly and sighed.
Li Nian maintained a smile and waited patiently for Jingcao to finish speaking, then asked a question.
"You want to know?"
"I really want to! Tell me now!"
"Well. No comment."
"why is it like this!"
Ignoring Shang Jingcao who was petrified on the spot, Li Nian raised his head and said to everyone: "My answer to Shang Jingcao is also my answer to you. I know that people have always been curious about what the profession of an exorcist is. Now that you know my identity, you probably have a lot of related questions to ask, but I am sure that the relevant content is not suitable for you to know. It will not benefit you. I also have the obligation to keep it confidential. I hope you can understand."
As soon as Li Nian said this, he righteously shut everyone's mouth and did not allow them to ask about this matter. The reason was also very clear: the content of his work was indeed not suitable for them to know the details.
Darkness and light should be clearly distinguished. Things in the darkness should be buried in the darkness, and people living in the light do not need to see them.
You know you can, but don't go into it.
