03. From now on, take on the role of a god

Li Nian threw his body on the sofa, deeply sinking into the soft touch, the comfortable feeling came up, and he relaxed himself.

To take the initiative to meet unfamiliar people, he is really not good at it.

Habitually, he reached into his breast pocket and tried to pull out a cigarette, but after groping for a while, he found nothing, and then he remembered that there was no smoke in the clothes.

Further, I realized again that I was reborn in another world at the age of seventeen after my death.

“…… Whew~~~"

Li Nian closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

Up to now, I have completely stopped, and I have the leisure to think.

The thoughts that had been put on hold came to me from the bottom of my heart, and they were still gathered into that sentence.

- Li Nian is dead.

How to understand this sentence, think about it.

I remember that when a person dies, there are three stages, the first is that he dies on the **, it is the first time, and the second is that he enters the ground, and people know that he died, it is the second time, and finally he is forgotten by everyone, that is, he dies for the third time.

The death of Li Nian in that world can probably be understood according to this sentence.

First of all, Li Nian, who served as the fifty-third generation master of the Yanyang Branch of the Heavenly Dao and the director of the Superpower Incident Handling Bureau, was stabbed through the heart in Western Europe and died for the first time.

After that, it is not difficult to imagine that his file will be labeled as killed, and the files of some dead predecessors, including the teacher, will be sealed together, and then, just like the teacher at that time, the state will also hold a grand funeral for him Director Li, and at that time, the official high-level, with Mr. Cang as the leader, the subordinates in the bureau, and some other people, will be present, of course, reporters will not be absent, and then do something to award medals, what speeches to make and so on, One part mourned, and the other part watched silently, even after his physical death, he Li Nian was completely dead in social significance, this is the second death.

It's just that compared with his colleagues who died in the past, in addition to his merits, he can represent the entire bureau, leave a name to go down in history, and survive forever, so this third death may have to wait a long time......

In this way, he can also be regarded as a person who "dies more than Mount Tai"?

But when people talk about Li Nian's name later, they will only treat him as history, just as he thinks of those subordinates who have passed away, and he just thinks of it......

Thinking of this, I can also recall some meanings for the words that Mr. Yue said and the arrangements he made.

That's asking him to say goodbye to the past......

Looking out the window, the sun was about to set from the other side of the sky, obliquely reflecting the brilliance, it was the scenery of the setting sun, and the blood red reflected the distant city scenery, he looked at it, and felt very beautiful, but also felt very strange.

Speaking of which, is there any reason why you must stay there in the world where you lived in the past?

He asked himself.

Ponder.

If you think about it, it's not.

If he didn't do the matter of stabbing Xing Feiyang, then he would have to go back no matter what, even if Mr. Yue's attitude revealed that going back was a matter of little hope, he must do it, and die again after the sky. But if he hadn't killed Xing Feiyang, he would have slept uncomfortably, let alone start a new life or something.

But now, he has done that thing, and he feels as if he has put down some burden, and feels that in fact, there is nothing left to die, because he can already die and be blind.

Revenge is a thing that can really make people feel very empty.

Maybe if a person who is burdened with righteousness does it, he won't have such a feeling, but he Li Nian, after all, is not a person with that essence and that pursuit.

His main goal in the past three years is just to fulfill the oath he made in front of the tombstone, which is a personal grudge. Even if he has to investigate himself three years ago, when that incident has not happened, the reason why he is fighting, his understanding of what he has done is not deep enough to understand who he kills is beneficial to the country and the people, he just feels that killing someone can save whom, just understand it this way, that's all. He felt that he should do it, wanted to do it, so he did it, which is selfish.

In the final analysis, he is a selfish, selfish, conceited person, such a person is of course not pure, he cannot bear the righteousness, he understands this, he knows himself better than anyone else.

So even if he has never been able to understand some of Mr. Cang's and Mr. Shi's practices and ideas, he will not try to force himself to understand, just put it aside, ignore it, and then do it, deep down in his heart, he still feels that their approach is correct, and he can believe them, so he will not hesitate and hesitate.

However, if he really encounters something that requires him to make a choice between righteousness and heart, a person like him will definitely choose the latter.

In the final analysis, he inherited the values inherited by Yanyang, but not the Tao of his teacher Ling Yun.

But that's just if, and there has never been such an "if" situation in life until now.

As far as the results are concerned, he has lived in this life, and he has never owed anyone anything.

When he was the head of the Yanyang branch and the director of the processing bureau, he did his best to complete everything. has personal grudges and selfish intentions, but he has never violated the instructions, and he has done everything he has done well.

Even in the end, he knew that Xing Feiyang had participated in the battle on the bright side, he didn't know where he was, and he didn't take the initiative to ask to go to his location, because he knew that there would always be a day when they met, so he waited with his eyes blank, and during that time, he also did the things that were arranged properly.

When Mr. Cang asked him to go to Western Europe, he only knew that Xing Feiyang was there after he got on the plane, and then he went directly to the door to fight, indeed because he couldn't bear his anger, even so, this behavior did not violate the order. Originally, he wanted to kill Xing Feiyang in the past, but as far as the result is concerned, he did it, so he can be regarded as having completed his mission.

The life of the fifty-third generation of the lord of the Yanyang branch is over, and it can be said that he has never owed anyone anything, nor has he ever turned his back on anyone.

When he thought of this, he figured it out.

Yes, Li Nian is dead.

So, he can put down his burden.

So I also understood that I don't have a reason to go back now.

At this time, he remembered the conversation between Wang Jun and Chu Feng, and remembered the yearning he felt in his heart when he eavesdropped on these two people talking about their past. Muttered.

"Seventeen years old......

I think Mr. Yue has good intentions......

is so good to him, who did he see from his Li Nian's body?

Don't understand.

But this intention cannot be ignored.

"I'll give it a try...... A new ...... life"

Li Nian muttered, thoughtful.

At this time, I suddenly heard "Knock knock." There was a knock on the door.

"Huh?"

Mr. Yue's words should have a key, right?

Li Nian got up and went to the entrance and opened the door directly. But it wasn't Yue Xuan standing outside the door, but a girl she didn't know.

Her eyebrows are picturesque, her face is beautiful, her small nose and thin lips, her eyes are as clear as amber, and her long hair behind her back has a bit of a characteristic brown, which hangs down to her waist.

When Li Nian opened the door, the girl was standing outside the door, she was lowering her head and looking a little nervous, when she heard the sound of the door opening, she looked up and wanted to say something, when she saw Li Nian, she was suddenly stunned for some reason.

At this time, Li Nian also looked at her, and felt the aura overflowing from this girl's body, and knew that this was a real witch who was as good as she was.

What's going on in this world. My neighbors are all strange people, just a random person who still has spiritual power?

No, it doesn't seem to be a casual visit......

I still asked tentatively.

"Who are you?"

The girl came back from her stunned state, immediately stood upright, looked at Li Nian, her eyes flashed with suspicion, and then asked cautiously: "Excuse me, are you ......?" ”

"I'm Li Nian."

"Huh! You are......!? ”

When the shrine maiden heard him announce his name, her eyes widened in surprise and she covered her mouth.

Yes? Coming to me?

"Huh? Yes, I'm Li Nian, are you looking for me? ”

"That, you're really Li ...... Lord Li Nian? ”

The witch still looked unconvinced, and her attitude became obviously restrained, and she had to confirm it again when she cowered, and for some reason she was called with an honorific title.

Li Nian was puzzled by this attitude, but reaffirmed his identity again.

"I'm Li Nian."

"Huh......" The girl looked at him and muttered blankly, "There is this overflow of Deng's aura...... It turned out to be genuine......"

“…… Much younger than you expected? ”

"Right...... Oh no! I'm sorry! No intention of questioning your identity! ”

Don't tease the girl, you didn't believe it just now.

But this attitude is too restrained, right, seems to be a little afraid of me?

Li Nian frowned and said.

"There's nothing to apologize for, I look like that, so, are you?"

"Ahh Yes, yes! That, Lord Li Nian! I'm a witch of the Kanto branch.,Wanli Valley Yuri.,Please forgive me for offending a lot before.。 ”

“…… Kanto Branch? ”

When Li Nian heard this, he looked at this witch named Wanli Valley Yuri, and couldn't help but squint his eyes, and a light of thought flashed in his pupils.

What organization does it seem to be here?

To be honest, he only heard Mr. Yue say that there is only a slight historical difference between here and there, but he really doesn't understand the world pattern now, and he vaguely feels something about what the current situation is, but he can't say why.

"That, ...... Master Li Nian?"

“…… You've called me an adult since the beginning? It doesn't have to be, right? ”

As soon as Li Nian said this, Wan Ligu showed a very confused expression, "Huh? After thinking about it, he suddenly clapped his hands and showed a sudden realization, and bowed his head respectfully and said.

"Lord Li Nian, on our side, we want to use honorific titles for Lord God."

I don't need you to say that I know that I need to use honorific titles for gods or something...... Honorific titles for gods?

Li Nian remembered what Mr. Yue had said.

- "Your current nature resembles that of a god. ”

Well?

So, what does this shrine maiden mean by this......

"Miss Wanli Valley."

"Huh? I'm here. ”

"I would venture to ask, how much do you know about me?"

Wanli Gu obviously didn't expect to be asked such a thing, and the girl looked at him blankly for a while before saying in a very light tone.

"That, I only know that Lord Li Nian, you are a modern god who traveled from the mainland......

“…… The gods on the mainland side (in Chinese)? ”

"Lord Li Nian?"

"Wait, I think about it...... I kind of get it...... I'm a god, right, I know. You continued, why did the Kanto branch witch find me for? ”

"Ah, yes, yes! I came to find Master Li Nian, there is something! ”

Speaking of this, the girl's face immediately became serious, and after coughing twice, she stood upright, lowered her head and bowed respectfully to Li Nian, and said solemnly.

"Introduce myself again.,I'm a shrine maiden who belongs to the Kanto branch.,Wanli Valley Yuri.,At the same time,I also serve as the sacrificial shrine of the nearby Seven Heroes Shrine.,Because today there is news from the branch.,There is a martial god like Lord Li Nian who has traveled from the mainland and is going to stay here for a long time.,So,On behalf of the Seven Heroes Shrine.,Specially came to visit.。

“…… Stationed? Is that what I'm trying to do? ”

“…… Master Li Nian? ”

"Well, I see...... Also, adults are exempt, I sound awkward. ”

"Huh? But ......"

"If you don't mind, just call me by my name Li Nian."

"Hmm...... How can you call the gods by their names......"

"No, it's better not to take me for ...... Forget it, they don't know you and they have a point...... If you don't want to, just call me Mr. Li. ”

Li Nian, who said this, not only did not have the consciousness of being a god, but also did not have the consciousness that he was the posture of his youth, he frowned and continued.

"So, you just said that I want to stay here for a long time?"

"Huh? Lee, uh, Mr. Lee, even if you say that, that, isn't that your own decision, Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee? ”

“…… You should do it, okay, I understand the general situation, garrison, right, but in general, what do you need me to do? ”

"Huh? That one? Ah, probably guarding this place, cleaning evil spirits or something......? ”

"You mean I just want to cut down those things that don't matter?"

"Slash, slash? Uh, probably ......"

Li Nian understands that this is the other party's arrangement, as a god guarding the side, well, if it is just a matter of this level, of course it can be done, after all, it is an old business.

The debt has to be repaid, so there is no room for shirk, and there is no reason to shirk, Li Nian thought, so he nodded.

"I see, then, is there anything else?"

"Huh? It seems to be gone......"

The expression on Wanligu's face seemed to say, "It's better to say that there is any problem over there?"

She was confused by Li Nian's reaction, which was completely out of rhythm with the situation she understood and made up in her mind, so that she herself was also disrupted, and became a little confused, and she didn't know what to do next, just looked at this god in confusion.

“……”

“……”

"Or ...... Come in and sit down? ”

“……! No need, no need! ”

When the shrine maiden heard this, she woke up and shook her head like a rattle in refusal.

Girl, your straightforward reaction is a little hurtful.

Li Nian shrugged his shoulders, he only remembered that he had to do this in terms of etiquette before saying this.

"If you come to me again for something in the future, you don't have to be so restrained, is there anything else?"

“…… Without. ”

"Then I'll go in first, Miss Wanli Valley, please go back."

"Yes......"

"Well, be careful on the road."

Li Nian didn't drag the mud and water, and after speaking, he turned around and went back to the house and gently closed the door.

Leaving Wanli Valley to look at the door panel blankly.

"Is the god system on the mainland, the martial god like this?"

She thought to herself, she thought that she was probably wrong about something, and treated Mr. Li as the martial god of Japanese Shinto in her impression, because the character of the martial god is often not very good, and she thought that she was going to contact the type with a violent temperament, but now it seems that this is not the case.

But it's really easy to put the word slash on your lips.,From this point of view, it's very martial god.。

In short, it was not like a god with a strange temperament, and she came to this conclusion and felt relieved, as a god who guarded the land, it was very good to have such a look.

After looking up at the closed door again, and bowing respectfully again, the shrine maiden turned and walked away the way she had come.
