When the Exorcist Association was split into Exorcists, Night Watchmen, and Investigators.
But that was forced by the times. The Exorcist Association was unable to clean up the increasing number of strange things in an increasingly deteriorating world, just like the exorcists, night watchmen, and investigators were disintegrated in the strange era.
The land of light should not be extreme.
The Exorcist Association has demonstrated for them, the Vina Freeze Port, and Midnight City have also demonstrated for them that they pay the price for their existence.
"...The biggest lesson that mankind has learned from history is to never learn from it. The Land of Light cannot make this kind of mistake again, because there will no longer be a chance for future generations to redeem it!"
Dessa Rothschild Rangel, a young man with a tough-to-pronounce name, spoke passionately about his views for dozens of minutes. Even the Mother of the Swamp couldn't help but stare at this liveliness.
The only people who bear his views are the vine cultists who are as dull as plants. Privately, residents would joke that "it's hard to tell whether weird plants or they react first when a fire comes."
But the Vine Cultists didn't do nothing. They found the person who could really make the decision, Lu Li.
"Mr. Exorcist! I am Dessa Rothschild Langel. Dessa comes from my mother, and Rothschild comes from my father. They hope that I will inherit all their advantages."
After Lu Li appeared, Langer began to introduce himself in a chatty manner.
If chatterbox is one of the advantages.
The situation is not complicated. Desa Rothschild Langel is one of the students who took the Level 1 Occult Test this afternoon. Not long ago, he found the Vine Cult because he was not included in the Exorcist test list.
Langer asked all the students privately, and after comparing the correct answers, he thought he was right, so he went to the vine cultists to question them.
"What are your answers to the last two questions?" Lu Li asked him.
"The first one controlled it and dissected part of its body tissue to study whether it was transformed by an alien. The second one tried to drag the uninvited guest into the room to avoid the ritual."
"What are your parents' identities?"
"My father is a scientist and my mother is a butcher."
Lu Li's gaze fell on the vine cultist: "Is there any similar answer?"
"No."
"You can take the Exorcist test tomorrow." Lu Li agreed with Langer's answer, ignored his nagging and left.
But soon, Lu Li was questioned by other students who knew about this matter. Han Zorro, a member of the "Brotherhood" marked by Mateus, these sixth batch residents dared to contact Lu Li more than other residents.
"Mr. Lu Li, I want to know the reason why I failed the test..." Han Zoro asked sincerely.
"What's your answer?"
"Be non-hostile, wait for it to wake up and use your movements to invite uninvited guests in."
Lu Li knew the reason why he failed: he didn't do anything.
“One should not place one’s hope of survival on the kindness that may be given to one’s neighbor.”
Lu Li answered his choice.
“Being aggressive in confronting the weird and being gentle in the face of the weird are both extremes.”
…
At noon, letters from the ice-free port of Wiener and the old sewer were processed as usual. Matthäus's suggestions were sent along with today's newspapers and logistics lists.
He thought it was unwise for Lu Li to form an exorcist now. Although they all knew that time was running out and people shrouded in despair needed more hope, choosing an exorcist in one week was too fast.
"They need stairs." Lu Li wrote in his reply.
"What's the meaning?"
"They need guidance."
Exorcists are not based on theory. Even the most knowledgeable investigators are on the front lines of encounters with the weird. Rather than subjecting all residents to a few months of study before they begin their first experience of dealing with weird occurrences, first train a few exorcists or trainee exorcists
Let them teach others more efficiently. Just like Lu Li's relationship with Tesla was like a teacher and a friend.
Jushu Academy’s three-year system cannot be used as a reference.
Matthäus then sent his blessing: It seems that the exorcist has an idea. I wish you good luck. Weiner Freeze Port will spare no effort to help you.
Later, the Vine Cultist brought the list of people who will take part in the Exorcist test tomorrow.
There were ten residents, including Dessa Rothschild Lundgren.
They all remain cautious and not radical in their attitude toward injuries and weirdness. The answers to the second question when facing quiet moments and uninvited guests reflect their behavior style.
Most of them used gestures to let the evil spirits in or tried to escape from the house, but Langer was the only one who chose to attack uninvited guests.
In the afternoon, the mother of the swamp visited the island in the middle of the lake.
He was concerned about the selection of exorcists: "Have you thought about the content of the test?"
"Um."
Lu Li was asking Andrea's location as usual: the middle of Allen Peninsula. She would return with five banyan tree guards and dozens of twisted jungles late at night.
"What content?"
The Swamp Mother doesn't intend to leave just yet.
"It's a long story."
Lu Li didn't really want to waste a few minutes telling the story.
"This is about whether I can maintain my humanity... You should help me, you promised."
Lu Li could only briefly describe the trials prepared for the ten residents who were not yet trainee exorcists.
"Investigator's Trial", this evil spirit book produced by the original exorcist, has many stories. Although "Investigator's Trial" has been lost in the weird era, Lu Li has one of the stories, and what he "experienced"
"The story of brother and sister Remy Jimmy.
Lu Li used this story not just to test the residents.
The Jimmy brothers and sisters came from the "Investigator Trial". They may have become independent, but they may still be in contact with the Book of Evil Spirits. Now they may be in the Paradise Valley deep in the Eternal Forest. This makes it possible for Lu Li to contact "Investigation"
Member Entry Trial", or Jimmy brother and sister.
After explaining the reason, Lu Li was forced to tell the Swamp Mother the story of Jimmy's brother and sister.
Maybe He was using the excuse of remaining human to listen to the story.
Lu Li told it as concisely as possible to end the story as quickly as possible, but after the twisted figure arrived, he was forced to slow down until they started today's afternoon tea.

Returning to the cabin, Lu Li dealt with today's affairs in an orderly manner.
Check the profits of the Sunshine Box, communicate with allies, observe the dynamics of old Belfast, check the existing supplies in the Wiener Refuge Area, and check the amount of food stored in the camp.
This would take Lu Li anywhere from one hour to two hours, and he did not leave this matter to anyone else.
Because power breeds selfish desires.
Maybe one day in the future the population of Agate Lake Camp will expand to the point where management is necessary, but until then, just maintain the status quo.
The camp is growing, with enough supplies stored to last for several years even if contact with the outside world is cut off, and the farmland is thriving.
Unless an irresistible disaster strikes without warning, nothing can destroy the camp.
Blood-red beams of light suddenly poured from the sky, and deep within the dark clouds covering the earth, a scarlet eye that filled the sky from the Main Familiar Continent to the Lennon Islands, from the desolate land to the farmland slowly opened.
