Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

She raised her hands as if presenting a treasure, and in her small palms, a cluster of fluorescent white light was shimmering.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's pupils contracted, and he sniffed the air.

这 是

The taste of the soul!

Before he could say anything, he saw that Xingzi seemed to have exhausted all her strength, her legs went weak, and she was about to collapse.

Uesugi Kiyoshi reacted quickly, pulling her into his arms and casually guiding the fluorescent white orb of light to him.

He first carefully observed Xingzi and found that she had only fainted from exhaustion, her breathing was even, and she was otherwise unharmed. He breathed a sigh of relief and then began to examine Ying.

"Is this... Kikyo's spirit?"

"."

"Unfortunately, it's too late. She's just a mortal. Even if the soul-summoning is successful, it's too late to save her."

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked somewhat dejected.

He's someone who's read through a complete set of twelve books on "Mysticism" at the association, and he already has a deep understanding of the supernatural world.

Bringing the dead back to life is extremely difficult.

It's so difficult that it's practically impossible to achieve.

Because once a human is "brain dead," their body assumes that the person is "dead" and loses all "activity."

The scientific term is "nerve death," while the mystical term is "soul dissipation."

As long as mortals experience death, even if their souls can be revived soon afterward, the death of their bodies is inevitable.

The flesh will stiffen, rot, develop lividity, and eventually become piles of white bones.

The bodily functions of an ordinary human do not support the idea of ​​"resurrection".

Uesugi Kiyoshi currently possesses the soul of Shiina Kikyo. Simply stuffing that soul back into the recently deceased corpse is not feasible. Even if it were successful, the resurrected being would be a "zombie," not a human.

When the body has completely decayed, the soul, having nowhere to reside, will also dissipate.

"Let her attain Buddhahood."

Uesugi Kiyoshi sighed softly, but Narumi Shingo responded in surprise.

"What are you talking about? Your little Xingzi went through a lot of trouble to bring this woman's soul back, just because she didn't want you to be too sad. Don't let her down."

"Um"

"As human beings, there is little hope of being brought back to life after death."

"However, as a demon, being reborn in the human world is not a big problem."

Narumi Shingo's words were startling, causing Uesugi Kiyoshi to suddenly look up, his expression somewhat surprised and uncertain.

Chapter 347 Rain Girl

Uesugi Seiichi flicked his shoulder armor, and the slightly cracked "Demon Soldier" vanished with the wind, flowing into his mind and returning to the Mirage Tower.

He was still wearing a thin shirt, arms crossed, brows furrowed, looking thoughtfully at Narumi Shingo, stroking his chin, and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean? Explain in detail."

Narumi Shingo paused for a moment, then smiled as if he remembered something.

"Oh, I forgot, you're not following the path of the 'human god.' Your title of Lord of a Hundred Ghosts also comes from a lot of your faith in demons and gods. You probably don't know these intricacies."

Let me give you an example.

“I, the Lord of Arakawa, am your god. This is the covenant I made with you. I am willing to fight for you and repay your kindness.”

"So, if one day I die..."

"The position of Lord of Arakawa is now vacant, so you have the qualifications and the right, with my willingness, to transfer all the power of the Lord of Arakawa, including the divine body, divinity, divine status, and even the incense and faith, to another person, for example, Nobuna."

"At that time, she will be the new Lord of Arakawa. Gods are immortal—at the very least, their names will never perish, but will be passed down from generation to generation."

"This is just an example. Nobuna has her own path. If I really die one day, I don't need to worry about her. She will do her best to finish what I didn't finish."

"So."

"Same logic, what's this woman's name again?"

“She died, her body was no longer alive, but her soul was miraculously brought back by Kyoko. In this situation, it’s not impossible to save her.”

"If I can't start over as a human, then I'll live as a demon."

“As long as they are righteous gods, they all have ways to grant power to believers and their followers. Your Hundred Demons Scroll should also have such power.”

Uesugi nodded. He had just given Inugami's healing abilities to Azuma Maki to help her heal.

However, after thinking for a moment, he asked doubtfully, "I understand the reasoning, but... Kikyo isn't your follower, will it still work?"

Narumi Shingo shrugged and nodded firmly.

"That's right, so you're not a [True God]."

"I was born as a demon, but I am also a righteous god worshipped by incense and believed by all people. Back then, many demons in the Arakawa River also followed me and attained enlightenment."

"This woman is lucky. I've been asleep for a long time, and many of the demon gods under my command have been completely forgotten by humans, their souls and spirits gone. There's nothing I can do about it. However, this [spot] is now vacant."

Whether she believes in me or not is not important. It only concerns the strength of her power in the future. What you want is not how powerful she is, but just to bring her back to life.

"That's enough."

"How about it, do you want me to give it a try?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi had no reason to refuse, but he hesitated.

"If possible, it would be better to save her. Even if she survives as a monster, I can protect her now."

"Shingo, someone who tried so hard to live should not have died. She didn't even have a chance to enjoy a single moment of happiness in life before she passed away tragically. I can't accept this ending."

"But, won't this affect you?"

Narumi Shingo laughed and shook his head repeatedly.

"No, you're overthinking it."

"The so-called 'divine contract' was originally just a technique developed by the gods of Takamagahara to increase their number of henchmen. It is useless to me."

"However, these conditions are quite harsh. When a person dies, their soul is destroyed, and summoning the soul is no simple matter. Your little Xingzi is quite capable."

"Okay, let me do it."

Narumi Shingo was extremely proactive. He leaned lazily against the wall and casually waved his finger.

In an instant, his pupils shone brightly with golden light, turning into a dark gold color.

A subtle, almost imperceptible aura rose gently, even making the air slightly more humid.

With a flick of his finger, the fluorescent white orb in Uesugi Kiyoshi's hand came into Narumi Shingo's palm.

"Hmm, the quality of the soul is quite good, surprisingly pure. It seems that a life of hardship is not without its gifts, otherwise summoning a soul would not be such an easy spell to succeed."

"You're lucky; you ran into Uesugi, and you ran into me too."

"Hey"

With his golden eyes flashing, Narumi Shingo casually bent down and pressed the fluorescent white orb directly into the forehead of Shiina Kikyo's paralyzed corpse.

"Arakawa's decree of amnesty, soul return! I bestow upon you grace, may you forever guard this land!"

"Dark clouds obscure the sun; walking in the rain!"

"Arakawa's servant, the Rain Woman!"

"wake up!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi could clearly feel that a dense demonic aura filled the enclosed room.

It was different from the demonic aura he usually saw on monsters.

This power is at a higher level, and even carries a touch of "sacredness".

In terms of the nature of its power, it is almost identical to Uesugi Kiyoshi's mirage.

"Is this the divine power of the Lord of Arakawa?"

"This is a bit outrageous. When I first met him, his power wasn't this strong. Has Shingo gotten stronger too?"

"Is it because he regained his divine body?"

"Tsk, he's right, I still know too little about the gods."

"My memories related to gods are also incomplete, as if it were intentional."

"I should really brush up on my knowledge of this topic in the future."

Uesugi Kiyoshi was lost in thought when, a few seconds later, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

He turned his head and saw Ryunosuke Akutagawa's smiling face.

Lord Rashomon fawned over him, draping a standard trench coat over Uesugi Kiyoshi's shoulders, saying, "General, don't catch a cold—I said, now that things are over, aren't you going to wrap things up?"

"This place is a mess, what should we do?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Do I need to teach you that?"

"Clean this place up, seal it off, ransack their homes, confiscate their property, detain the people, and take in anything related to ghosts and spirits."

"Aren't you the expert in this area?"

"Oh, by the way, quite a few people have died here, all poor prostitutes, right? Send someone to do a count, and distribute the money collected here to their relatives as a token of our sympathy."

"Some people die, and some people have to live. This can be considered the work of ghosts and spirits, which falls under our jurisdiction—can I be in charge of this?"

Ryunosuke Akutagawa nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll go make the arrangements first. Don't slack off. Once you've settled things here, hurry up and go help me. The association is short-handed, so you need to come and keep things in order."

Ryunosuke Akutagawa probed Uesugi Kiyoshi's attitude and found that he no longer harbored any "malice" towards him. It seemed that he did not hold it against him for almost causing his ship to capsize, so he happily made his way back.

When Uesugi Kiyoshi turned his head, he met Shiina Kikyo's eyes as she slowly woke up and opened them.
