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

Chapter 11 Mitaka Jin

"Meow~~"

The sudden sound of a cat's meow made Li Nian prick up his ears. He was surprised to see a few kittens crawling towards the living room.

"Can pets be kept in this dormitory?"

This sentence seemed to trigger some bitter memories in Kanda, making him look lonely.

"Well, that's why I moved in."

Looking at his expression and then at the cat, Li Nian suddenly understood something.

Unlike the other students in Sakurasou, Kanda seemed to be a normal student and probably didn't have the same financial pressure as himself. So why didn't he choose a normal student dormitory? It seemed that the answer was right in front of him.

“You own all these cats, don’t you?”

"kindness."

As expected, it is common sense that pets are not allowed in school dormitories. If you want to continue keeping cats, you can only move to Sakurasou.

Li Nian was amazed.

"It seems that you like cats very much, Kanda. You actually have three of them."

"Their names are Nozomi, Kodama, and Tsubasa. The ones you didn't see are Hikaru, Komachi, Aoba, and Asahi."

“…You have seven?!”

Is it too much to keep a pet like this?

This statement caused a strong reaction from Kanda.

"I can't help it! Ever since I picked up Xiaoguang, I've encountered abandoned cats again and again. It's like I'm cursed!"

"So you picked them all up..."

"Because, because seeing them lying in the cardboard box and meowing at you pitifully, no one can be cruel enough to do that, right?"

Li Nian: “…”

I'm not a human being, Kanda!

"Uh, don't you like cats?" Kanda asked uneasily.

"Not really (I just think you don't seem normal either)."

Li Nian knelt down on one knee and scratched the white cat's chin. The little guy squinted his eyes as if he enjoyed it, and he was not afraid of strangers at all.

"It's cute, isn't it?"

Li Nian felt somewhat healed and couldn't help but smile. Kanda felt relieved to see that he didn't hate the kittens.

Then Kanda took Li Nian to Room 104 where he was going to move in. The room was empty, of course, but it seemed to have been cleaned by someone. It was spotless without a speck of dust, which surprised Li Nian who had originally planned to clean it himself.

"Kanda, have you cleaned it?"

"No, no, no, this was done by Misaki-senpai. She's been looking forward to new people moving in, so every empty room is cleaned regularly. I heard that when you were about to move in, she cleaned this room inside and out many times."

It was actually that crazy senior who did it. This made Li Nian's impression of her slightly better, and her expression became softer, as if she could see what he was thinking. Kanda also sighed: "Although everyone in the school thinks that the residents of Sakurasou are weird, in fact, they are all good people... Well, it is undeniable that they all have various problems."

"Looks like I'll have to thank you later... Well, I'm going to move my things now. Kanda, don't worry about it. Just go and do your own thing."

"Do you really don't need help?"

"No, no, it's just a few things. We have enough manpower here. If there are any problems, I will come to you later."

"Then I'll go back to my room. Just call me if you need any help."

Leaving these words behind, Kanda went back.

Li Nian returned to the truck, persuaded Shang Jingcao to leave, and began to ask the staff of the moving company to start moving things. He himself did not just stand there giving orders, but also helped with the moving and arranging. With so many people working, the efficiency was very high, and the room was tidied up in less than a morning.

After seeing the staff off, Li Nian looked back at the room that had become a presentable one, and felt very satisfied.

"I'm going to live here from now on."

Looking at the space in front of him that he had built, Li Nian felt a sense of security for the first time since he came to this world.

When he lived in an apartment before, everywhere he looked were traces of other people's lives, which always brought back memories of his previous life. In fact, this made Li Nian feel very restrained and uncomfortable. Now that he has moved to Sakurasou, although he lives in a smaller and more dilapidated room, it gives Li Nian the feeling of "living in his own room" for the first time. Instead, it makes him feel like he has taken off the shackles, feeling more relaxed, and his mood is much better.

This is my home from now on. No matter how simple it is, it is still a doghouse that is inferior to any other place...

Li Nian shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed into dry clothes, turned on the fan, and lay comfortably on the bed, not wanting to move anymore.

According to the plan, now that he has settled down, he should contact Aki early to discuss the part-time job... But now, he wants to rest for a while.

Li Nian closed his eyes, stopped thinking about anything else, and fell asleep peacefully.

=========

When he woke up drowsily and looked at his phone, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

Didn’t eat lunch…

Li Nian sat up from the bed, intending to wash his face to clear his mind, but suddenly he noticed a plate on the table with food wrapped in plastic wrap, which stunned him for a while.

"Ah, is that Kanda?"

This is really caring.

Originally, they were planning to go out for dinner, but now it seems that is no longer possible. Li Nian did not intend to waste other people's kindness, so she peeled off the plastic wrap. The food was still warm, so she took a bite and it tasted good, but a little bland.

He finished the meal in a hurry, but felt that the portion was not enough. Obviously, Kanda underestimated his appetite.

“I’m not full.”

Li Nian was helpless. He thought about it and took out his cell phone to call An Yi.

"Hello, is this Aki?"

"Student Li Nian?"

"It's me. Regarding what we talked about before, discussing a part-time job, are you free now?"

"Sure! I'm super free these days, you can meet up anytime you want."

"Right now, okay?"

"Okay."

"Then let's arrange a time and a place." Li Nian paused and added, "A place where we can eat."

An Yi suggested meeting at a cafe. After Li Nian found the address and general appearance of the cafe from her previous life's memory and confirmed that they sold cakes there, she nodded and agreed, and set the meeting time at 1:30.

In other words, apart from hurrying on the road, only a little time was left for both parties to prepare. However, Li Nian didn't have much to prepare. She went to the bathroom, washed her face, and prepared to leave.

He was putting on his shoes in the entrance hall when suddenly the door opened and a man walked in and met him face to face.

"Oh my... is he new?"

"Ok?"

Li Nian looked up and saw a handsome boy standing in front of her. He had fluffy brown hair and a tall, slender figure. He looked very powerful, yet overall gave people a gentle feeling.

The boy looked at him, touched his chin, clapped his hands as if he remembered something, and said with a smile.

"Are you the new member of Room 104? I remember your name is... Linian, right? How is it pronounced in Chinese?"

"Yes, I am Li Nian, and you are...?"

"Nice to meet you. I'm Jin Mitaka from next door to you. I'm a third-year student, but you can just call me Jin. Please take care of me in the future~"

He laughed as he spoke, his smile was gentle and his tone was soft and magnetic. He was a handsome guy who made people feel good at first sight.

So Li Nian knew that this person was the last resident of Room 103 of Sakurasou who had not yet come into contact with him... Of course, he couldn't be considered to have had any contact with Akasaka in Room 102.

"Well, Senior Ren, please take care of me in the future..."

As Li Nian spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller, because his attention was drawn to an unusually conspicuous red patch on his neck, which looked like a woman's lips reflected by lipstick.

"Ah, this?" Noticing Li Nian's gaze, Ren touched that place helplessly and complained softly: "I can't help it, Miss Liumei is a little too passionate in bed."

Did he really go to have sex with the office lady?!

"...Really? It seems like Senior Ren and his girlfriend are very much in love." Li Nian continued with gritted teeth.

"Huh? No, no, you misunderstood. She's not my girlfriend, just a sex partner."

"..."

So amazing, this person is amazing in every sense of the word.

"Ah, it's Ren who's back!"

I heard the voice of Senior Kamiigusa from behind and saw her coming down from upstairs.

"Misaki."

"Ren! Do you want to take a shower first, or eat first, or…"

"Go to bed first. It looks like you're going out, Rinjin-kun. I won't stop you then. Bye."

Sanying waved to Li Nian, walked past him and went to the room.

"Wait! Ren!" Misaki chased after him.

Li Nian looked at the two people, narrowed his eyes slightly, and felt that Senior Igusa's attitude towards this man was a bit subtle.

He thought it was probably just his illusion. After all, this senior seemed to be very friendly to everyone...

Chapter 12: Unclear Things

“截至8月27日12时，已确认在京都发生的灵灾中已有126人遇难，927人受伤，11人失踪……”

The coffee shop designated by An Yi was on the commercial street. Li Nian found the place and was about to go in when he suddenly heard the news. He looked up and saw a big screen on the street playing news related to the spiritual disaster half a month ago.

Li Nian stared at it for a few seconds before looking away and pushing the door open.

He arrived at the agreed place, but it was still early, seven or eight minutes before 1:30. He first found an empty table to sit down, called the waiter over, ordered a few pieces of cake and a cup of coffee, then sat down quietly and took out his cell phone.

He didn't intend to urge An Yi, but opened the browser to look for news. To be precise, he was looking for news related to the spiritual disaster half a month ago.

He had just traveled through time and soul to this world a few days ago, and the shock he received was too great. There were also many things to deal with, and his body and mind had not recovered yet. Now that various things have come to an end, he saw related news again, which made him start to care about what the spiritual disaster was like half a month ago.

The disaster that involved the family of my predecessor and caused the deaths of my parents did not just take away two lives. Its impact was far wider than one could imagine. The entire city block was devastated, with nearly a thousand people injured and over a hundred dead. It can be said to be the most harmful spiritual disaster to have occurred in Japan in recent years.

In fact, even if Li Nian didn't look for it deliberately, related follow-up reports would easily appear in front of him. It can be seen that even though half a month has passed, the impact of the spiritual disaster is still far-reaching.

Li Nian began to recall the memory that she had never wanted to touch.

The previous story was that he went on a family trip to Kyoto with his parents. On the way to visit the shrine, they suddenly heard a deafening roar and saw a black gas column visible to the naked eye rising from the ground and rushing into the sky in the distance. Then a strong earthquake occurred under their feet, and the surrounding buildings collapsed, and large pieces of rock fell. Then... his parents were buried under it in order to save him.

As he gradually recalled that scene, great fear and grief immediately surged into his heart, making Li Nian feel irritated. He suppressed his negative emotions, thought calmly, and felt that there were many details worth noting.

The first thing, of course, is the pillar of black gas that rises from the ground and reaches the sky.

It didn't look like a normal weather phenomenon at all. With Li Nian's current knowledge, he felt that it was obviously some kind of spiritual energy that had been concentrated to a certain degree, reaching a level that could be seen by the naked eye. The quality and quantity were probably quite terrifying, and judging from the ominous black color, the attributes were probably quite evil.

Also, there is a shrine at the location where the black column exploded, if I remember correctly.

Now that I think about it, the buildings did not collapse because of the earthquake. Although the scene at that time seemed to be an exaggerated earth-shaking, the magnitude of the earthquake was not that strong at all. In principle, Japanese buildings are extremely earthquake-resistant, so they would not collapse so exaggeratedly because of an earthquake of that magnitude. Their damage was more like they were smashed by some huge impact.

In this way, from a grand perspective, the entire picture of the spiritual disaster is a huge explosion centered on a certain place.

Now, half a month later, the Yin-Yang Department has discovered the cause of the spiritual disaster, saying that it was a disorder of the spiritual veins that led to the node explosion.

Most of the frequent spiritual disasters have similar reasons. They are usually caused by places with rich spiritual energy that are not regulated, resulting in the leakage and accumulation of spiritual energy, causing abnormal changes. At first glance, it seems reasonable, but Li Nian thinks of the ominous black color of the air column rising into the sky, and always feels that something is wrong.

And speaking of Kyoto, it is recognized as the base camp of exorcists, a place where so many professionals gather. How could such a thing as spiritual vein imbalance easily happen? And how could there be no countermeasures, and it accumulated to the point of causing this explosion?

An outsider wouldn't doubt anything, but Li Nian had acquired knowledge from the skill tree and understood what spiritual vein imbalance was, but he still felt that it wasn't convincing enough.

The food was served quickly, and Li Nian continued to watch the news while eating and drinking coffee.

The Onmyoji Bureau's official announcement consisted of only a few items, which generally said that they deeply regretted what happened to the victims, but that the aftermath of the spiritual disaster was about to be completed, and that they would strengthen supervision in the future to prevent a second similar incident from happening again. No other information was revealed.

It seems that we need to make a final conclusion on this spiritual disaster and treat it as an accidental disaster.

The authoritative institutions have made such a statement, and the mainstream media has not sung a different tune. There is a feeling that the matter is really accepted by the public as such.

But Li Nian couldn't accept it. He frowned and continued to think about whether there were any suspicious points that he had not noticed. Suddenly, he heard a trembling cry with a bit of disbelief.

"Is it Li Nian?"
