Anime: Exorcism from Tokyo

"No!" Kasumigaoka Utaha denied subconsciously.

Once more employees are recruited, I won’t be able to come here legitimately.

Besides, there will be others who will take your place.

But as soon as the words came out of her mouth, Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately realized that her reaction was too intense and hurriedly lowered her voice.

"Our exorcism agency does not have the funds to hire more employees."

"It's definitely not possible at the moment." Li Lin nodded, "But soon our firm will have enough funds to expand."

Kasumigaoka Utaha stopped talking, her face changing from gloomy to bright.

Li Lin was very satisfied with Kasumigaoka Utaha's performance.

This means that Kasumigaoka Utaha is gradually changing in the direction he hopes.

Li Lin naturally has a good impression of Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Apart from a kindhearted wealthy woman in Daxia, Kasumigaoka Utaha was the second woman with whom he had close communication since he came to this world.

Before traveling through time, he was also very interested in the role of this senior with black stockings.

It was only after they actually came into contact that Li Lin realized the strong desire for control hidden in Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Everyone has the desire for control, or the desire for possession. Especially in modern times, the change in thinking brought about by the advancement of science and technology has deepened the selfish factors in everyone.

Perhaps because of her growing environment, Kasumigaoka Utaha has always been rejected by girls of the same age because of her outstanding appearance and excellent academic performance.

But she was not affected at all. Instead, she followed her own will and embarked on the path of a light novel author.

It is precisely because of this strong will that her self-awareness is very strong, and with it comes an equally strong desire for control.

She doesn't care who her partner is because she is good enough, but she will never accept that her partner has an affair with other opposite sex.

Li Lin felt that he would not be a bad person, but he was not a gentleman either.

Don't give up the whole forest for a single tree.

So he never responded directly to Kasumigaoka Utaha's hints.

Because once he accepts, Kasumigaoka Utaha will take the initiative to drive away the women around him as his girlfriend.

However, this does not mean that Li Lin has given up on Kasumigaoka Utaha.

In terms of possessiveness, he is definitely superior to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

If he takes a fancy to you, he will never let you go.

Li Lin was just waiting for the right opportunity.

Pride and inferiority are two sides of the same coin.

The more proud a person is, the more likely he is to have inferiority complex inside.

The most devastating moment for a genius is not when he is defeated by a powerful opponent, but when he discovers that he is just an ordinary person.

In the original work, Kasumigaoka Utaha doubted her talent because her work was about to be cut short. Eventually, with the help of Tomoya Aki, her work became popular again, so she developed a liking for Tomoya Aki.

The same thing happened to Li Lin.

Compared to extraordinary beings like monsters and exorcists, no matter how outstanding Kasumigaoka Utaha's abilities are, she is just an ordinary person.

Therefore, the strategy was completed as early as when Li Lin met Kasumigaoka Utaha and rescued her.

And what Li Lin will do next is to become a hunter who keeps his hawks trained, waiting for the proud hawk, Kasumigaoka Utaha, to shed all its pride and bow to him on its own initiative.

Li Lin believed that this time would not be too long.

"We have plenty of time today, so there's no rush to go out and kill the monster."

"You guys take a rest first." Li Lin said.

The strength has reached the mid-level 3 and is not far from the goal of level 4.

His need to go out and exorcise demons was not as urgent as before.

However, in order to reach level four as soon as possible, Li Lin will not give up today's monster-hunting operation.

"You have some conscience." Ying Lili snorted.

Her nose is usually sealed.

With the development of modern industry, the urban environment is even dirtier and smellier than in ancient times.

It was nothing for humans, but for a dog demon like her with a keen sense of smell, the stench everywhere was so bad that it made her want to vomit.

It was really difficult for her to help Li Lin find the monster.

"Don't worry, this should be the last batch."

Li Lin smiled.

Chapter.34 The long-awaited news

"Really?" Ying Lili looked at Li Lin suspiciously.

"Of course it's true." Li Lin said frankly.

With Conan as the monster maker, Eriri's role is no longer important.

What's more, he is only one step away from level four.

After reaching level 4, his need for soul beads was not as urgent as before.

After reaching level four, the accumulation of spiritual power is no longer a top priority.

Although huge spiritual power can still play a vital role in battle, the understanding and control of power is more important than spiritual power.

Rather than the soul beads that any monster could decompose, he needed the pages of the Book of Name Contracts and a medium that could be used to contract powerful concepts.

Under Ying Lili's dissatisfied but resistant gaze, Li Lin pinched her pink nose and walked behind the desk with a smile.

He opened the web page on his computer and browsed the official website of the Paranormal Ability Management Bureau.

"It's still the same as before."

With a sigh, Li Lin closed the webpage.

There are still no tasks on the official website that he can accept.

This troubled Li Lin, as he didn't know when he could upgrade his career level.

After the establishment of the Supernatural Ability Management Bureau, the first thing it did was to unify the ability standards of the independent power systems of Onmyoji, priests, shrine maidens, etc. according to modern level standards.

According to the strength level of the monsters, from weak to strong, they are divided into five levels: D, C, B, A, and S.

However, unlike the monsters who follow the law of the jungle, in human society, if you want to improve your level, in addition to your strength, you also need the recognition of relevant organizations.

Generally speaking, if you want to improve your career level, you need to constantly complete various commissions and tasks, and then complete the strength assessment issued by the superiors before you can be promoted smoothly.

Li Lin's current occupation level is the lowest level D.

The only tasks that can be accepted are patrolling and handling some post-event work.

In response to this, Li Lin said: I can’t take any of it.

"I thought it was too simple." Li Lin stared at the webpage that had not shown any movement, and felt that his previous thoughts were too naive.

Originally, he just wanted to set up an exorcism agency to get in touch with the supernatural forces in Japan and obtain information about monsters.

But after actually getting started, I found that things were not as simple as I had imagined.

Level D can only access the most basic and simplest intelligence. If you want to obtain more confidential information, you can only improve your level.

Compared with intelligence, what gave Li Lin more of a headache was the various channels for obtaining materials.

Only by improving your own level can you access the material trading platforms of those major forces and obtain the corresponding materials and props.

When his strength gradually approached level four and he began to think about the future, Li Lin finally realized that cultivation was extremely expensive.

Whether it's the construction of a garrison defense barrier, the research of various spells, or the consumption of props when fighting monsters, everything costs money.

In order to obtain more money and trading channels for various materials, he must expand his network.

The fastest way is to upgrade your career level.

Therefore, yesterday at Dorobiga Paradise, Li Lin deliberately imprisoned the monster for the purpose of demonstration before killing it.

I just hope that Inspector Megure can convey my information to the higher-ups.

Otherwise, the newly born headless monster wouldn't even have the chance to stand up in front of him.

"Maybe it hasn't been passed on yet."

Li Lin could only comfort himself that if he was not taken seriously, he would have no choice but to take risks and look for other channels to obtain resources.

Closing the computer casually, Li Lin began to wander around the room, checking for loopholes in the formation.

As his base camp, he used the golden light array to set up barriers in the two buildings where the Maori Detective Agency and the Taixuan Exorcism Agency were located.

With the insights gained from the Kyushu barrier, he can block the attacks of intermediate monsters in a short period of time even if he is not there.

"Hey, is there something so dangerous under my feet?"

Looking at the array pattern flashing with golden light from time to time in Li Lin's hand, Ying Lili felt unwell.

In the past few days, she came over only after putting it down. Today was the first time she realized that she was stepping on such a dangerous thing under her feet.

For a half-demon like her, this was like stepping on a bomb.

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is the exorcism office I established. It would be strange if there is no defensive barrier here."

Li Lin was slightly speechless.

Ying Lili didn't dare to talk back. She stared at the floor, feeling more and more uncomfortable.

He moved his butt and prepared to curl up on the sofa, but then he noticed Li Lin's slightly threatening gaze moving towards him.

Pursing her lips in embarrassment, Eriri took off her shoes and placed her little feet wrapped in black over-the-knee socks on the sofa.

She hugged her knees with her hands and curled up in a corner of the sofa, as if this was the only way she could feel safe enough.

Li Lin nodded with satisfaction and turned his gaze back to the jade in his hand.

He purchased these jade stones specially, and they are excellent materials for setting up formations.

These days, most of the money Li Lin obtained was used to buy jade.

Even so, the jade we bought was only the one that was circulated on a large scale in the market. Not only was the material inferior, but the price was also not cheap.

Li Lin pinched the jade between his fingers.

Spiritual energy was infused into it to replenish the power that had dissipated from the jade.

After the spiritual power is fully replenished, it is placed back to its original position, and with a golden light it becomes part of the barrier again.

Every day, Li Lin becomes stronger and has a new understanding of barrier techniques.

Therefore, every morning, Li Lin would spend time rearranging the barrier.

It is not only for maintenance, but also for upgrading the level of the barrier and filling the loopholes in it.

Moreover, Li Lin discovered that setting up a barrier is also a form of practice.

Every time after testing the barrier, he would have a new understanding.

Therefore, even though it takes a lot of time, Li Lin will still happily check and modify the barrier every day.

Before I knew it, two hours had passed.

The barrier in the office has been updated.

"Get ready, we will go out to get rid of the monster soon." Li Lin stretched lazily, without slacking off for a moment, and immediately prepared to go out to get rid of the monster.

Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly called Li Lin, "Wait a minute, the Supernatural Ability Management Bureau that you have been asking me to pay attention to has sent an email."

When Li Lin heard this, he forgot about going out.

He walked quickly to the computer and opened the email.

It turns out that it was a commission from the Supernatural Ability Management Bureau.

finally come!

Li Lin was in a very good mood.
