Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 322 A New Journey (The Finale)

The smoke of battle on Nenggu Island has not yet completely dissipated, but the shadow hanging over Yang Liu's heart is far heavier than the smoke on the battlefield.

Although the Chida siblings have been executed, those within the Japanese government who harbor the treacherous ambition of "creating a god" will never let the matter rest.

Not to mention the power he ultimately displayed, enough to make any country or organization consider him a top-level threat or subject of research.

Should I stay in Japan?

Yang Liu shook his head. There was no longer any "nourishment" here that could help him grow quickly. After all, he had even consumed "gods," and now there were traps and prying eyes everywhere.

He needs a relatively safe environment where he can consolidate his strength and rethink his future path.

Yes, such places exist.

It's time... to go home.

The decision-making process was exceptionally quick and smooth.

When Shen Zhe and Jiang Miaozhi contacted him again through secret channels and tentatively inquired about his future plans, Yang Liu directly expressed his desire to return to China.

"A wise choice!" Shen Zhe's voice came through the encrypted communicator, carrying obvious approval and an undisguised hint of courting. "To be honest, Comrade Yang Liu, given your current strength and the extent of your exposure, staying in Japan is indeed too risky. Returning to China is the best option. We can provide all the necessary convenience and support."

Jiang Miaozhi's lively voice followed closely: "Yes, yes! Brother Yang Liu! It's good to be back in China! It's so safe here! And I have some good news for you. Your mentor... Professor Miyamoto Seiichi, is currently under asylum here. Although he's not a superhuman, he's a world-renowned top professor. The higher-ups are quite kind to him and have arranged for him to continue as a professor at a top university in China! If you go back, you can definitely continue your teacher-student relationship!"

Is Professor Miyamoto a professor in China?
Yang Liu's heart stirred; this was an unexpected delight.

Although Professor Miyamoto had unwittingly tricked him before, it was an unintentional mistake, and the old man's subsequent actions had diverted a lot of Japan's attention, which bought him a lot of time.

Personality-wise, Yang Liu didn't dislike Professor Miyamoto, the little old man; in fact, she felt a sense of regret for not having met him sooner.

Moreover, from the perspective of modern society, since I have come to Japan for so many years without gaining anything, it is not impossible for me to go back and use Professor Miyamoto's connections to get a graduate degree.

“Okay.” Yang Liu didn’t hesitate for long. “Then I’ll trouble you to make the arrangements.”

“No problem! We’ve got it covered!” Shen Zhe and Jiang Miaozhi immediately agreed, looking quite happy.

Yang Liu's attitude indicates that he is willing to cooperate, which is for the best.

After all, if someone with such strength were to "go mad," only a handful of supernatural beings and a large-scale military force could possibly subdue him.

Over the next few days, Yang Liu began to prepare for her departure from Japan.

First, he submitted his resignation to Takeshita, the vice principal of Nokoshima Elementary and Middle School.

Vice Principal Takeshita looked at the polite young man in front of him and felt a mix of emotions.

Although the specific details of the earth-shattering events that occurred on Nenggu Island that night were strictly sealed off by the authorities, some scattered rumors and residual energy were enough for him to guess some of the truth.

He felt gratitude towards Yang Liu (after all, Yang Liu had prevented a greater disaster to some extent), a sense of awe and relief (thankful that this great god was finally leaving), but mostly he admired Yang Liu, this young man.

Without asking any further questions, he readily approved Yang Liu's resignation and sincerely wished him a bright future.

After completing the school procedures and packing her few belongings, Yang Liu arrived at Fukuoka International Airport with her passport and plane ticket.

The moment of parting finally arrived.

To Yang Liu's surprise, several familiar figures appeared in the crowd seeing him off just before he was about to enter the security checkpoint.

Uga Shoji arrived. His injuries had healed well. Although he was still a little weak, his eyes had regained their former gentleness and determination.

He didn't say much, but gave Yang Liu a deep look and handed him a talisman engraved with the Yongfu Temple mark: "Take care, and if fate allows, we'll meet again."

Yokota Teru also arrived. He didn't say much, but simply bumped fists with Yang Liu.

The Sasaki couple also came.

Sasaki Reiko still looked like she was avoiding trouble, but she couldn't help but remind her, "When you get back, behave yourself and don't cause any more trouble."

Sasaki Sumi, standing beside him, smiled gently and handed Yang Liu a business card: "I'm so sorry, your teacher has caused you trouble. If you need anything academically, please feel free to contact me anytime."

Even Vice Principal Takeshita came to present a small souvenir on behalf of the school.

Miyamoto Yuge and several students who had some connection with Yang Liu at school also came and said goodbye to him with some reluctance.

Looking at the people she had met in Fukuoka, Yang Liu felt a faint pang of sadness at the thought of parting.

Although they didn't spend much time together, the life-and-death experiences they went through together left some marks on them.

He bid farewell to everyone, thanking them for seeing him off. But…

His gaze swept across the crowd, but he couldn't spot that familiar, tall figure.

Koizumi Rin...didn't she come?

A subtle sense of loss crept into my heart.

Although he knew that separation was inevitable, he thought she would at least come to see him off.

Perhaps... she didn't want to face separation?

Yang Liu shook her head, deciding not to think about it anymore. She turned around and prepared to walk towards the security checkpoint.

"Teacher... wait!"

Just then, a clear and urgent shout, accompanied by panting, came from behind.

Yang Liu suddenly stopped and looked back.

He saw Koizumi Rin running towards him, her face flushed and panting. To his surprise, the girl was dragging a large suitcase behind her.

"Huff...huff...I...I caught up..." Xiaoquan Ling ran up to Yang Liu, her hands on her knees, panting heavily. Her face was flushed from running, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Koizumi-san? What's this...?" Yang Liu looked at the suitcase behind her, somewhat taken aback.

The people around who came to see him off were also surprised.

Koizumi Rin finally caught her breath. She raised her head and looked at Yang Liu. In her bright eyes, the previous timidity and confusion were gone, replaced by an unprecedentedly firm light.

“Teacher,” she took a deep breath, as if summoning all her courage, “I…I want to go with you too!”

"What?!" Not only Yang Liu, but also Yu He Zhao Er and the others were stunned.

Koizumi Rin looked at Yang Liu with unwavering determination. "I've made up my mind! I'm going to study in China! With my teacher... no, with Liu-kun!"

Liu Jun?!
Upon hearing this title, the gazes of Uga Shoji, Yokota Teru, and the others towards Yang Liu instantly became playful.

Japanese people only omit the surname and address someone directly by their first name when they are extremely familiar and close to them, especially between people of the opposite sex, and sometimes even add the slightly intimate suffix "-kun". The meaning behind this is self-evident.

Yang Liu was also taken aback. Looking at the unwavering determination in the girl's eyes, he was momentarily speechless.

"Then... what about your father..."

"Don't worry, I've already discussed it with my dad, and he agrees with my idea. Moreover, Mr. Shen Zhe and the others have also helped me by being willing to contact schools in China. I heard that it happens to be the school where Professor Miyamoto works... Oh dear, then I can no longer call you 'teacher' from now on, but should call you 'senior' instead."

Koizumi Rin glanced at the others around her who were all gossiping, and tugged at Yang Liu's sleeve.

Yang Liu subconsciously bent down, and Xiao Quanling also slightly tiptoed and whispered in his ear, "Besides... you are the guardian chosen by fate for me, so you can't abandon me~"

Yang Liu looked at her, and finally could only sigh helplessly with a hint of expectation, and nod.

Koizumi Rin finally revealed a bright smile. She said goodbye to everyone else present, pulled her suitcase, walked to Yang Liu's side, looked up at him with her small face, and her eyes sparkled like stars.

The teacher-student relationship, once so close, quietly came to an end at this moment, due to the change of location and mindset.

Instead, there will be upperclassmen and underclassmen, companions, and perhaps... more.

She bowed slightly and said in a tone that was both playful and solemn:

"I am a humble woman, please take good care of me in the future... Lord Liu."

Looking into the girl's eyes and feeling her unreserved trust and affection, Yang Liu felt a corner of the bewilderment she had felt due to her sudden departure melt away.

He reached out and gently ruffled the girl's hair.

"Hmm," he responded softly, his voice still steady, yet seemingly carrying a subtle warmth.

"Please take good care of me... Suzu."

Sunlight streamed through the airport windows, bathing the two of them in a warm, golden glow, as if gilding the new journey that was about to begin.

(The finale! Hooray!)

(Considering there's not much left to write, this is basically a decent ending. There will be an extra chapter later, but that's another story.)
