Godslayer: Aizen Template, I will stand in the heavens!

"I?"

“Yes,” Chen Muye nodded. “You’re going to join the Night Watch. For us Night Watchmen, we often face some unfamiliar mysteries, so on-site intelligence analysis is very important to us.”

"Especially when intelligence is limited, we should try our best to make the right response." Wu Xiangnan continued, "Intelligence analysis can be trained, but what is more important is the sensitivity to intelligence. This cannot be trained; it depends entirely on talent."

"So what should I do now?"

“Analyze the whereabouts of this masked man.”

Li Lian pondered for a while, then pretended to look at the map again. In fact, he knew the exact whereabouts of the Ghost-Faced King without analysis; it was too easy for him to deduce the process by working backward from the answer.

"I don't know much about the Ghost-Faced King, so I can only make a guess based on what I know about the Ghost-Faced Man."

Li Lian pointed to the battle points on the map and said, "Firstly, in the battle between the captain and Ghost Face King, Ghost Face King was seriously injured and urgently needs food to recover. Moreover, Cangnan City is located in a special way, at a certain distance from other cities, so I can be pretty sure that it will not leave Cangnan City."

"Secondly, I discovered something when I was killing the masked man. After being injured, the masked man struggled to get close to the sewer manhole cover, probably trying to escape. In addition, the stench of the sewer can mask the stench on their bodies, so if there is any place in Cangnan City where they can hide, it must be in the sewers."

"Thirdly: The two masked men I encountered were in the old town. This place has poor lighting at night, few pedestrians, and a complicated and disorderly sewer system. The masked men all know that hunting in the old town is safer, so the Masked King couldn't possibly not know that. Or perhaps there is something in the old town that is attracting them, but that possibility is unlikely."

"In conclusion, I conclude that the Ghost-Faced King will not leave Cangnan City. It is probably hiding in the sewers of the old city right now, and it won't be long before it hurts people again. Hmm... it will definitely appear sometime within three days. That's all I can tell for now."

"Clap clap clap..." Chen Muye, Wu Xiangnan and Hong Ying clapped together, revealing satisfied smiles. Li Lian's analysis was exactly the same as the conclusion they had reached in their meeting. Moreover, he was a newcomer who had not received any training, yet he had done such a good job. Their 136 team had really struck gold this time!

"Well said, you've passed." Chen Muye walked around the table, went to Li Lian's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's getting late, Hongying, find him a place to sleep for the night, we can talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay, Brother Li Lian, come with me."

……

"It's too late tonight, just make do in this room for the night." Hongying led Li Lian to a rest room in the training ground, pointed to the training mat on the floor, and said, "Just for one night, it'll do. There's a blanket in the closet, I won't get it for you, I'll be going now~"

"Thank you, Sister Hongying..."

Li Lian lay on his back on the soft cushion, constantly recalling the events of the day.

Li Lian: (|3[▓▓]

He was transported to the world of Godslayer in a daze, met two important characters, Lin Qiye and Li Yifei, awakened an experience point system, gaining the means to survive in this world, acquired a Zanpakuto and Shinigami skills, killed two low-level masked men, met the entire 136th Squad of the Night Watch through Zhao Kongcheng, and now even gained the approval of the 136th Squad leader. Who is in the rest room of the Night Watch training ground...

This day felt so long, so long that Li Lian still couldn't quite grasp the reality of it. He waved his hand in front of his eyes before he realized that he couldn't go back, and that he was now living in the world of Godslayer.

Perhaps all the gods are in this world, perhaps this world is full of dangers, but I am living in such a world now, and all I can do is struggle forward, strive to become stronger and survive!

By the way, I don't think I gained any experience points when I sparred with Hongying just now?

Li Lian carefully checked the system and found that no experience points had been added. Could it be because he hadn't won? No, that's not right. Lin Qiye gained 10 experience points from his fight with the masked man!

Does this mean that experience points can only be gained by fighting mysterious or non-human creatures? Will experience points also be gained by fighting against agents of hostile gods?

Or does the system automatically distinguish between friend and foe? Since Hongying and I were just sparring and it didn't constitute a battle, there were no experience points?

I was planning to grind experience with the group from Squad 136 until I was invincible before making my move, but it seems that won't work now!

After taking another look at his system, Li Lian discovered a way to protect Zhao Kongcheng without changing the plot.

"Upgrade to level 5 to unlock [Soul World]: It is the duty and responsibility of a Shinigami to perform soul burial for every kind soul. By leaving a mark on the forehead of a soul with the hilt of your Zanpakuto, you can guide the soul to Soul World. You are the only Shinigami in Soul World, so the entire Soul World reigns with you as its king."

It seems the system gives a big reward every 5 levels I gain; this time it even includes the Soul Society! But the biggest problem is I'm only level 3 right now…

The system shows that the experience bar is only about one-third full, but I can't see the specific value myself.

I wonder if watching Zhao Kongcheng show off will give me enough experience to level up to level 5. It would be a bit awkward if I could only reach level 4.

Or is it that just looking at the map, I can't even reach level 4?! Does that mean I have to fight the Ghost King to reach level 4? Do I have to personally kill the Ghost King to reach level 5?

I feel like this is very likely!

Li Lian felt that he had overused his brain today.

As he pondered, Li Lian felt his eyelids growing heavier and heavier, and before he knew it, he had drifted off to sleep.

……

The next day, Li Lian woke up on his training mat around noon.

If it weren't for the shouts of "Hey! Ha!" from the training ground outside waking Li Lian up, he might have slept for who knows how long.

Hi! Another day alive. Time to get to training!

After tidying up his bed, Li Lian rubbed his stiff neck and opened the door to the rest room, where he found Hong Ying practicing with a long spear in the training ground.

The spear whistled like a wheel, then suddenly a pear blossom bloomed at its tip, exploding with a loud "bang," or like a serpent flicking its tongue, moving with effortless grace.

Li Lian couldn't understand this spear technique, but he felt that Hongying's spear skills were very powerful. At the very least, the sound of the wind generated when the spear was swung was frightening enough, and its destructive power was probably enough to penetrate even a wall.

However, the spear was quite a sight to behold, and Li Lian wasn't afraid at all. Hong Ying, who was wielding the spear, was not only a great beauty, but also a very cool and sassy one.

"Good morning, Sister Hongying!"

"It's still early! We'll have lunch soon." Hongying stopped talking and looked at Li Lian rubbing his neck, asking with concern, "What's wrong? Did you hurt your neck?"

"The prerequisite for a stiff neck is to sleep on a pillow, but where I slept yesterday, there wasn't a pillow?" Li Lian stopped rubbing his neck. "It's just that the mattress was too soft, and I wasn't used to sleeping on it. I always sleep on a hard bed; it's better for my health!"

Hongying learned about Li Lian's background yesterday; this kid grew up in an orphanage and naturally always slept on a hard bed. Suddenly, her heart softened, and she said to Li Lian:

"Are you hungry? Go wash your face first, and then come find me in the lobby. I'll get you something to eat."

"Oh, okay, remember to use less salt, I prefer it bland."

"Looking for a beating?"

Hongying raised her spear as if to attack Li Lian, but Li Lian chuckled and ran away.

When Li Lian finished washing his face and came to the front hall, he found a large bowl of noodles on the wooden table, with a steaming poached egg on top.

"Eat quickly, and when you're done, go to the operations room to see the captain. He has something to say to you." Hongying wiped her hands as she whispered in Li Lian's ear, "I'm telling you, the captain has decided to recruit you into the team!"

"Stop, Sister Hongying. Why are you whispering like this when you're all grown up?" Li Lian knew that in the original story, Hongying had deliberately teased Lin Qiye. She didn't mean any harm; she just thought it was fun to bully innocent young boys.

But Li Lian has lived two lives, so how could he not see through this little trick?

"That was so boring, I'm never teasing you again."

After saying that, Hongying left without looking back. "I still have training to do. Remember to wash the dishes after you finish eating."

While eating his fried egg, Li Lian mumbled, "Okay, thank you for the noodles, Sister Hongying. Your cooking is much better than Lao Zhao's!"

"Eat yours!"

To be honest, this bowl of noodles was cooked to the perfect consistency, with just the right amount of salt. The poached egg was even runny. It was much better than Old Zhao's cooking, which was obviously made in the army. Old Zhao must have learned his cooking skills from the mess hall; he's just generous with the amount of salt.

By the way, where's Lao Zhao? Did he go to wait for Lin Qiye at the school gate?
