Chapter 35

Shinjo Ikkou and Yamato Kuka left, and before they did, they told Yudou to wait for good news. In addition, Hino also received the opportunity to join the Unnatural Countermeasures Group.

Of course, because Hino did not have exorcism abilities, she could not become a main member of the group and was temporarily only responsible for logistics.

However, the girl was still very happy, as Yamato Kuka had also told her that once she joined the group, she would receive training from the system.

Some new recruits with sufficient spiritual power could actually go to specialized schools for further study. Although there were not many such schools, and the students were mostly from other exorcist families, the group would also allocate a few spots each year.

If Hino worked hard, it was not impossible for her to become a civilian yin-yang master.

Each yin-yang master family had a rich background, which often gave the yin-yang masters in these families a head start.

However, this did not mean that yin-yang masters without family backgrounds could not become talented. History was full of exorcists who rose from the common people.

Some even created their own schools and became famous in history.

In short, Yamato Kuka's motivational words made Hino very excited. She was now eagerly looking forward to working in the Unnatural Countermeasures Group.

And among those who received Yamato Kuka's recognition, only Hino was chosen. Yudou, who came with them, was not selected.

On one hand, Yudou's psychological素质 was indeed worse than Hino's, and on the other hand, his age was too old, and his spiritual power had already solidified. Shinjo and the others believed there was no value in training him.

In contrast to Hino, who was excited about joining the group, Yudou was in a panic. He didn't even pay attention to Hino's offer to treat them to a meal and hurriedly returned home to pack his bags.

Indeed, he was preparing to run away. Yudou knew that the story he had told was completely made up.

If Shinjo Ikkou and the others investigated the family Yudou mentioned, his story would not hold up.

"Yudou, what are you doing? Didn't you say you were just going to do a part-time job? Why are you packing your bags now? Does this part-time job require you to go out of town?"

Seeing Yudou rush in and start packing, Amamiya Masami, who was standing nearby, was puzzled and asked.

"Mom, you and Ryuki should also pack your things quickly. We need to move as soon as possible.

I lied to some important people, telling them you are from a yin-yang master family. They will find out soon, so we need to run away before they react."

Yudou quickly packed his bags while explaining to his mother, who was behind him.

"Huh, how did you know Mom is from a yin-yang master family? I don't remember telling you that."

Yudou: (¬‿¬)

Yudou's hand, which was packing, stopped in mid-air, and his head turned slowly, with a bewildered look on his face, to look at his mother, who was surprised.

A few minutes later, Yudou sat on the sofa, looking like he was in a daze, while Amamiya Masami sat opposite, with a nostalgic look on her face, and Ryuki, who was already asleep, lying on her lap.

According to Masami, she did indeed come from a small yin-yang master family. However, because her memories of it were not pleasant, she never mentioned it.

As a member of the collateral line, Masami was already not valued. When she was born, she was judged to have no spiritual power, making her a useless person in the yin-yang master family.

In yin-yang master families, spiritual power represents everything. A child with no spiritual power is a disgrace to the family.

Masami's mother died shortly after giving birth to her. With no relatives, she had no talent and was from the collateral line, so she was mistreated in the family.

Eventually, to save face, the family exiled Masami and forbade her from ever calling herself a member of the Amamiya family.

In a state of despair, Masami met her stepfather, who was out for a meal.

After learning about Masami's situation, her stepfather, who was already drunk, attacked the Amamiya family and destroyed it...

The plot was a bit melodramatic, and Yudou was also in a long state of bewilderment.

The melodrama was one reason, but the key was that the story he made up was about 70-80% similar to what actually happened!

Yudou was even wondering if his mouth was blessed or if the system was helping him by adjusting the story.

Masami really did come from a yin-yang master family, and that family was indeed destroyed by a fierce demon.

However, the demon that destroyed the family was not a demon that had broken free, but Yudou's stepfather...

At this point, Yudou finally understood why the Unnatural Countermeasures Group did not doubt his past. It turned out he really was from a yin-yang master family!

So, what was his current identity? A half-demon from a yin-yang master family?

After listening to Masami's past, Yudou was in a state of bewilderment for most of the night.

However, because of this, Yudou was no longer in a hurry to move, as he was now a legitimate member of a yin-yang master family.

Although the story Yudou told had some discrepancies with what actually happened, such as the time the Amamiya family was destroyed, these were not issues. The Amamiya family was a small one, and it was indeed destroyed by a demon.

As for the exact reason for its destruction and Yudou's half-demon identity, Yudou did not believe the Unnatural Countermeasures Group could investigate to that extent.

If their intelligence capabilities were really that good, then other yin-yang master families would have no secrets from them.

In fact, although the Unnatural Countermeasures Group, backed by the state, had excellent intelligence capabilities, after multiple investigations, they only discovered that Yudou's mother, Amamiya Masami, was once a member of the Amamiya family. They could not even find out who Yudou's father was.

And Yudou and his family had already met a man with excellent sword skills who had helped the police remove demons multiple times, so they did not think of him as a "demon."

As for the discrepancies between their investigation results and Yudou's story, the group did not pay much attention, thinking that perhaps Yudou was too young at the time, and his mother had told him a "kind lie" to avoid letting him know they were abandoned by their family.
