Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 112 109. Stone Man and Sponge Man

Behind the elevator doors is a lobby that looks like a bar.Except for the mild orange lights in the room, and some house decorations with Shinto and Buddhist elements everywhere, this place is really like the "Adventurer's Guild" in a magical story.

It was already late at night, and there were only a few guests in the hall.Most of them are elderly people, and they look a bit vicissitudes when drinking.

The girl led Jiuzhou Cheng to the counter, and a man in a bartender uniform stood up to receive her.

Makoto Kyushu noticed that there were a few huge certificates on the wall behind the counter, with words like "Official Wano Government Certification" or "Wano Country Public Security Certification" written on them, just like the ones on the walls of restaurants. Posted health inspection pass certificate.

"Good night, Miss Meggisin." The bartender's tone was very respectful:
"We have received your mission update report. [Kabuki Knife] appeared again, but was prevented from attacking and lost an arm."

"As for the person who tore off its arm", the bartender man looked at Makoto Kyushu aside:
"It's you, Mr. Makoto Kyushu."

"You know my name?" Kyushu Makoto was taken aback.

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

"I'm 17 years old, studying at the private Xiujin Academy High School in the Minato District. My academic performance is pretty good, but my performance in other aspects is mediocre. My parents are both missing because of gambling debts. You are currently living alone without any guardian to support you. But according to the investigation , You often go to a cowherd shop called "Tokyo Gensokyo", and you seem to be working there. "

After listening to the other party's explanation, Makoto Kyushu frowned: "Your investigation is really detailed."

"We have cooperation with the police, as long as you borrow a little bit of their system, your information will be investigated in no time." The bartender man responded calmly:
"Of course, please let me apologize for violating your privacy. After all, you have been involved in a life-threatening case, and we have no choice but to do so."

"What you mean is that you made a mistake but don't change it~" Kyushu shrugged, feeling that this matter has no further meaning: "I understand your position, let's continue."

"According to Mejixin's report, you defeated the Fusangshen alone without using spiritual power. And it has caused three people to be killed before, and the danger level is "C". "The bartender swiped the tablet again, and couldn't help showing a complimenting tone:

"That is to say, you already have the combat ability comparable to a Class C professional necromancer."

"Sorry. What level do you mean "Class C"? "Jiuzhou Cheng couldn't help asking.

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

"Spiritual species that have received a grade-C evaluation generally start to be aggressive and threatening. The possibility of ordinary humans defeating them is infinitely close to zero, but there are also accidents like you."

"So, I really did something amazing." Makoto Jiuzhou pinched his chin and nodded thoughtfully: "That's why you chose me?"

"Of course, our Yin Yang House needs talents like you!" The bartender man opened the side door of the bar and walked out:
"It's not too late, let me take you for a psychic test. Please come with me, Mr. Kyushu."

Guided by the bartender, Makoto Kyushu came to a room similar to a medical room.

There are expensive-looking precision instruments around, and a medical body scanner in the center of the room.

Under the orders of the bartender, Makoto Kyushu took off his upper body clothes and walked into the scanner.

The instrument started to work, and the dark green fluorescence scanned his body back and forth for half a minute before stopping.

"The test is over, thank you for your hard work." The bartender signaled Jiuzhou Cheng to come down, and brought him back to the bar.

"Is it that simple to detect?" Makoto Kyushu asked.

Since this place is called "Yin Yang Liao", he originally thought that the so-called test would be more full of mysticism. For example, let him touch the crystal ball, and then judge the talent according to the color of the light, instead of checking the 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 dislike the existence of technology, but advocate the combination of technology and extraordinary abilities, and keep everything simple."

"Has his test result come out?" Qing Palace Eliza on the side was stamping her feet impatiently.

"The result came out as expected." The bartender took out his tablet and swiped it, and said in a flat tone:
"He doesn't have any special talent, and his spiritual talent is very ordinary, so ordinary that it is close to the average level."

"Oh, that's the stone man~" Qing Palace Eliza shrugged, but she was not too disappointed:
"But he has good skills. If he uses spiritual power props and contracts a few spirit species, he should be expected to become a second-level spirit remover."

"Wait a minute. What does stone man mean?" Makoto Kyushu was extremely puzzled by this strange vocabulary that popped up suddenly.

"Please let me explain." The bartender took 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 most ordinary people is a big rock. Stones often have cracks and holes, allowing a little water to flow in. But generally speaking, the amount of water that a rock can hold is extremely limited, and Unable to manipulate water freely. This kind of person generally needs special props and weapons to become a spirit master."

"As for the rare "talented", their souls are like a sponge.Not only can she absorb water several times her own volume, but she can also freely retract and manipulate spiritual power as she likes, and can also increase her affinity for spiritual power through cultivation. Miss Mejixin is such a person. "

The bartender man explained very concisely, even a layman like Kyushu Makoto quickly understood.

He pinched his chin and thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Then she is a sponge man?"

After hearing this, the bartender man couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing: "Haha...hahaha! This is the first time I've heard the name 'sponge man'! No, no, no... this little brother is so interesting!"

"Pfft, ha. Cough cough!" Qing Gong Eliza seemed to want to laugh too, but she still held back and continued to maintain a cold expression:

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

"I'm sorry, I was rude." The bartender stopped smiling and said routinely:
"I believe that Ms. Mejixin has given you a general introduction. Our "Yin Yang Liao" is the only officially certified non-government organization in Wano Country. It is responsible for dealing with supernatural events in Wano Country and preventing spirit species and supernatural events from threatening ordinary people. people's lives. "

"Looking around the world, spirit trainers are extremely rare. There are only more than 1 registered spirit trainers in our Wano country. The lack of manpower is a common phenomenon, so Yinyangliao strives to absorb more available talents."

"I hope you can become 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 non-disclosure agreements and accept long-term surveillance by the public security, and you can continue to live in the future. ordinary people's lives."

"Please rest assured, we are a formal organization that has been officially certified." The bartender man emphasized this again, obviously proud of it:

"After joining Yinyangliao, you will enjoy the treatment of an in-service employee according to the laws of your country, including basic salary and entrusted commission, various insurances and funds, and employee welfare protection—of course, there are also provisions to help you step into the spirit master industry. All kinds of special resources, which you cannot get outside through formal channels."

"." Jiuzhou Cheng raised his head and looked around again, obviously thinking.

"You don't need to answer immediately." The bartender man said again:

"You can find a place to sit down and drink a glass of water first, and think about it carefully. But before you step out here today, I need to hear your definite answer."

"Hey, this invitation is too sudden for me." Jiuzhou Cheng's eyes flashed, and he let out a long breath slowly:

"But the monster you call "spiritual species" hurt my friend... If I reject your invitation, if I encounter this kind of crisis again in the future, will I be as passive as I am today? "

"Your worries are not wrong. There are many people here, like you, who chose to join the Yin-Yang Liao because they were 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 took out a glass, filled it with orange juice and pushed it over:
"The so-called "spirit removal" is not like in the comics where you go to fight big monsters at every turn, but more often to deal with daily cases related to ghosts. "

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

"A fugitive serial murderer who targeted female customs workers, Tokyo's "Jack the Ripper". He has not been caught so far, and the police are playing tricks around him, threatening the safety of citizens... The public security will probably publicize it like this, rather let the police watch it The Ministry will not publicly admit that this is a supernatural event."

"Really... It seems that the Metropolitan Police Department is also pitiful~" Makoto Kyushu sighed, with a firm tone:

"Okay, I'll join."
