Behind the elevator doors is a lobby that looks like a bar. In addition to the gentle orange lights in the interior and some house decorations with Shinto and Buddhist elements, it really looks like an "adventurer's guild" in a magical story.

It was late at night, and there were only a handful of guests in the hall. Most of them are some elderly people, and their appearance when they drink is also a bit vicissitudes.

The girl led Makoto Kyushu to the counter, and a man in a bartender suit stood up to receive her.

Kyushu Makoto noticed that there were several large certificates posted on the wall behind the counter, which were nothing more than words such as "Wano Country Government Official Certification" or "Wano Country Public Security Certification", which were like hygiene inspection certificates posted on the walls of the restaurant.

"Good night, Miss Megisin." The bartender man's tone was respectful:

"We've received your mission update report from our side. The Knife reappears, but is stopped and loses an arm. ”

"As for the person who tore off his arm," said the bartender man, looking at Makoto Kyushu on the side:

"That's you, Mr. Makoto Kyushu."

"You know my name?" Kyushu Makoto was stunned.

"We've done a simple background check on you." The bartender man took out a tablet and swiped his fingers a few times:

"At the age of seventeen, he studied at the private Xiu Ember College High School in Minato Ward, and his academic performance was quite good, but his performance was mediocre in other aspects. Your parents are missing because of gambling debts, and you are currently living alone without any guardian to support you. However, according to the investigation, you often go to a cowherd shop called "Tokyo Gensokyo", and it is suspected that you are working there. ”

After listening to the other party's explanation, Kyushu Cheng frowned: "You guys have really detailed investigations. ”

"We have cooperation with the police, as long as we borrow a little bit of their system, we can quickly investigate your information." The bartender man replied in a calm tone:

"Of course, let me apologize for violating your right to privacy. After all, you've been implicated in a life-threatening case, and we have no choice but to do so. ”

"What you mean is that you are wrong but don't change it~" Kyushu Makoto shrugged his shoulders, feeling that there was no point in delving into this matter: "I understand your position, go on." ”

"According to Megishin's report, you have defeated the mourning god alone without using spiritual power. It has already killed three people, and the danger level is "C". The bartender man swiped the tablet again, and couldn't help but exude a compliment:

"In other words, you already have the combat ability comparable to that of a Class C Class Soul Killer."

"I'm sorry. What level do you mean by "Class C"? Makoto Kyushu couldn't help but ask.

"The threat level of the spirit species is divided into "A, B, C, D". If you think it's too earthy, you can think of them as "ABCDs". Eliza Kiyomiya propped her elbow on the bar and explained:

"Spirit species that have received a C-level rating have generally become aggressive and threatening, and the probability of ordinary humans defeating them is infinitely close to zero, but there are also accidents like yours."

"So, I've done a great thing." Cheng Kyushu pinched his chin and nodded thoughtfully: "That's why you chose me?" ”

"Of course, we need talents like you in Yin Yang Liao!" The bartender man opened the side door of the bar and walked out:

"Without further ado, I'll take you on a psionic test. Please come with me, Mr. Kyushu. ”

Led by the bartender man, Makoto Kyushu came to a room that resembled a medical room.

Surrounded by seemingly expensive precision instruments, in the center of the room is a medical body scanner.

At the command of the bartender man, Makoto Kyushu took off his upper clothes and walked into the scanner.

The instrument began to work, and the dark green fluorescence scanned back and forth on him for half a minute before stopping.

"The test is over, hard work." The bartender man motioned for Makoto Kyushu to come down and took him back to the bar.

"Detection. Is it that simple? Makoto Kyushu asked.

Since this place is called "Yin Yang Liao", he originally thought that the so-called detection would be more occult. For example, let him touch a crystal ball and then judge his talent based on the color of the glow, rather than checking his body in a hospital.

"Please don't have too many illusions about us." The bartender man seemed to understand his psychological gap: "We don't hate the existence of technology, but advocate the combination of technology and extraordinary ability, and everything is simple." ”

"Are his test results out?" Eliza of the Qing Palace on the side was stomping her feet impatiently.

"The results are more predictable." The bartender man took out the tablet and scratched it, and said in a flat tone:

"He doesn't have any special talents, and his spiritual talent is very ordinary, ordinary to the point of receiving the ** average."

"Oh, that's the stone man~" Qinggong Eliza shrugged her shoulders, but she was not too disappointed:

"But his skills are good, if he uses spiritual power props and contracts a few more spirit species, he should be expected to become a Class B spirit slayer."

"Wait a minute. What does Stone Man mean? Makoto Kyushu was extremely puzzled by this strange word that suddenly popped up.

"Let me explain." The bartender man took over the topic:

"Spiritual power is a substance related to the soul, and only the soul can resonate with it, and the human soul is the container for absorbing and manipulating spiritual power."

"If spiritual power is compared to water, the soul of the vast majority of ordinary people is a big stone. Stones tend to have cracks and holes that allow a little water to flow in. But in general, the amount of water that a stone can hold is extremely limited, and it is not possible to manipulate water freely. Such people generally need the help of special items and weapons to become spirit masters. ”

And the few "gifted" people who are rare, their souls are like a sponge. Not only can he absorb water several times his own volume, but he can also retract and release it freely, manipulate spiritual power as he wants, and can also improve his affinity for spiritual power through cultivation Miss Mei Jixin is this kind of person. ”

The bartender man explained it very succinctly, and even a layman like Makoto Kyushu quickly understood.

He pinched his chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Then she's a sponge person?" ”

After hearing this, the bartender man couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh: "Haha... Hahaha! It's the first time I've heard the term 'sponge man'! No, no, no... This guy is so interesting! ”

"Poof, huh. Ahem! Qinggong Eliza also seemed to want to laugh, but she still held back and continued to maintain a cold expression:

"Don't waste time, take him through the rest of the procedure."

"I'm sorry, I was rude." Only then did the bartender man hold back his smile and say routinely:

"I'm sure Miss Mergissin has already given you a general introduction. Our "Yin Yang Liao" is the only officially certified non-governmental soul eradication organization in Wano Country, responsible for dealing with supernatural events in Wano Country and preventing spirit species and supernatural events from threatening the lives of ordinary people. ”

"Throughout the world, soul masters are extremely rare. At present, there are only more than 10,000 registered soul masters in our Wano country, and the shortage of manpower is a common phenomenon, so Yinyangliao strives to absorb more available talents. ”

"I want you to be one of us, but we will also respect your personal wishes. If you don't want to join us, you only need to sign a few confidentiality agreements and accept long-term public security surveillance, and then you can continue to live an ordinary life. ”

"Rest assured, we are an officially accredited organization." The bartender man stressed this again, clearly proud of it:

"When you join the Yinyangliao, you'll be treated as a working employee in accordance with the laws of your home country, including a basic salary and commission, various insurances and funds, and employee benefits—and, of course, a variety of special resources to help you enter the Soul Master industry, which you can't get outside through formal channels."

“.” Makoto Kyushu raised his head and looked around again, obviously thinking.

"You don't need to answer right away." The bartender man said:

"You can find a place to sit and have a glass of water and think about it. But before you step out of here today, I need to hear your exact answer. ”

"Hey, this invitation was too sudden for me." Kyushu Makoto's eyes flashed, and he exhaled slowly:

"But the monster you call the 'spirit species' has hurt my friend... If I had declined your invitation, if I had to encounter this kind of crisis in the future, I would have been as passive as I am today, right? ”

"There is nothing wrong with your worries. There are many people here who, like you, chose to join the Yin-Yang Liao because they had been attacked by spirit species. They just want to protect themselves and the people around them, and make a little extra money by the way. ”

The bartender man took out a glass glass, poured it full of orange juice and pushed it over:

"The so-called "soul removal" is not like in the comics to run around to fight the big monsters, but more often to deal with daily cases related to the supernatural."

"For example, the ghost who attacked you is a serial killer in the eyes of ordinary people, and if we don't come forward to solve the case, the pressure will be put on the side of the Metropolitan Police Department."

A fugitive serial murderer who targets female prostitutes, Tokyo's "Jack the Ripper." So far, they have not been caught, and the police have been in a mess, and they continue to threaten the safety of citizens... The police would probably publicize it to the outside world like this, and would rather let the Metropolitan Police Department take the blame than publicly admit that this is a supernatural event. ”

"Really... It seems that the Metropolitan Police Department also has pitiful points~" Kyushu Makoto sighed, and his tone was firm:

"Okay, I'll join."
