A comic book, but a librarian

Baoyue Yexiao thought that this was not just a fright, this was actually on the verge of death.

Reincarnation? Or a more mysterious identity. Uesugi Cheng was still shrouded in mystery to Baoyue Yexiao, so she continued to ask.

"Then...should we continue to cooperate?"

"Why not? What reason do I have to give up my ally who is fighting against that idiot god clone with me?"

Uesugi Cheng was a little surprised. He didn't quite understand why Baoyue Yexiao had such an expression. Did he look like an evil spirit that had taken over Uesugi Cheng's body?

"Nothing, I just worry too much, sorry... Uesugi-nii."

Baoyue Yexiao nodded seriously, and the two people's journey to the abandoned hotel ended here. Since Uesugi Cheng helped her retrieve the graduate who was left in the hotel, she would also slightly modify her itinerary because of Uesugi Cheng, and return to the original location of Kishimojin first to help Uesugi Cheng find the trace of Kishimojin.

The two got into a taxi for the return trip. It was still the same wicked driver. He glanced at Baoyue Yexiao who was sitting next to Uesugi Cheng, then looked at the doll in her hand, and instantly stared at the road in front of him, as if he was driving in the bombing zone to deliver the most urgent items instead of taking his customers to their destination on the main road.

In the car, Uesugi Cheng closed his eyes and looked like he was asleep, but Baoyue Yexiao was just looking at the scenery outside the window. She had never encountered a ghost driver before, but to be honest, the feeling of being able to travel at any time without relying on others was really great. She had begun to consider whether she should talk to a ghost driver about cooperation, or use violence to force those unruly evil drivers to mend their ways and do voluntary labor to atone for their sins.

Uesugi Cheng left the fake body in the car and returned home with his consciousness. The commission of Baoyue Night Snack was not difficult, so he did not spend much energy on it. On the contrary, the side of Kishimojin did make him feel a little tricky.

In fact, Uesugi Cheng had already gone to the area where they had stayed at the beginning in the form of a fake body, but not only Kishimokami, but even the temple belonging to Kishimokami that Baoyue Yexiao mentioned, which originally existed in that area, had completely disappeared. The soil on the ground and the surrounding environment seemed to express the same situation.

There has never been any temple or other things in this place. It should have been and can only be a wasteland.

Therefore, Uesugi Cheng planned to take the infant spirit and Baoyue Yexiao with him to see if he could find more clues. If this didn't work, he would have no choice but to give up the commission and let the Demon Goddess face the tragic ending that might follow.

"Come to think of it, they seemed to have said they were going to come to our house tonight for a celebration party?"

Uesugi Cheng suddenly remembered this matter. During the day, he and Baoyue Yexiao went out to deal with the evil spirit that Baoyue Yexiao had stuffed into the hotel. So next he had to shift his focus back to his own life.

……

As dusk gradually fell, Ijichi Hongxia and the remaining three band members stood at the door of the apartment and looked up at where Uesugi Sumire's room was.

"So Uesugi-senpai lives in such a high-class place..."

Kita Ikuyo swallowed her saliva. She suddenly felt a little nervous for some reason. She originally thought that she knew her teammates quite well, but now it seems that she doesn't even know much about the family background of Yamada Ryo and Uesugi Sumika.

"This is the correct address... Let's go."

Hongxia actually found it a little hard to imagine. After all, their first meeting was when Uesugi Cheng was taking a job at Fanxing to earn money, but looking at where he lived, the salary Fanxing gave him was probably not even enough to pay for one month's rent.

"Oh, good evening... Why did you bring the ingredients? Didn't I say we didn't need them?"

The four members of the Bond band all brought their own souvenirs. Of course, Yamada Ryo was the most practical and directly brought hot pot ingredients.

Uesugi Cheng placed the induction cooker and the matching pot in the center of the table. He usually liked to do this when cooking hot pot, although he had rarely done it.

The soup in the pot was already boiling, and most of the fresh ingredients were placed next to it. Hong Xia did a rough calculation and felt like there was something wrong with her brain. She calculated an amount that she could hardly believe.

"What are you waiting for? Prepare the celebration banquet. You can't expect me to do the last step too."

Several people sat down at the table as if awakened from a dream. It must be said that this celebration banquet was much more sumptuous than the one that had just ended the night of the performance. They even saw many ingredients that they would not dare to order at ordinary times.

The juice swayed in the cups, celebrating the success of their first big show.

"Pochi-chan's fall really scared us all... If it weren't for Uesugi-senpai's quick eyes and hands..."

Hongxia was just about to tease Goto Ichiri when she saw that Goto Ichiri's face had turned pale.

"No... No, if that happens, I will just become a useless person staying at home, give up my dreams, start drinking, and become a useless person who depends on my parents for support..."

The classic divergent imagination segment of Little Lonely began again, but everyone was already used to it, and they were just amazed that Goto Doku could think so far.

"By the way, have you finished your next song?"

Several people's eyes instantly focused on the band's composer, Ryo Yamada, but she just shook her head calmly.

"Not yet. This one, not yet."

318

Chapter 318: Inspiration and after-dinner chat brought by [Fang Xinghesheng].

"That's quite normal... After all, no one has endless inspiration."

Hongxia tried to smooth things over, although she felt that after that performance, Yamada Ryo seemed to have been stuck in some strange predicament and seemed to have become weak in his creative work.

But as her best friend, Hongxia still believes in Yamada Ryo's ability.

"Well... do you want to listen to my song?"

Uesugi Cheng took out the guitar from the room. He had indeed learned a lot recently. Even though he could not parse the lost ancient tunes yet, he had already begun to gain experience and skills from the parts he could sing. The price was that his throat often needed a good rest and he had to hold a throat protector in his mouth for a long time.

"Okay, I want to listen."

Unexpectedly, Yamada Ryo seemed to be very interested indeed. Her face turned towards where Uesugi Sumika was, her eyes fixed on the guitar in Uesugi Sumika's hand, and she began to wait.

Uesugi Sumiko chose a brighter and more cheerful piece of music, or rather a piece of music that evokes the blue sky of the lower heaven in the midday world.

【Fang Xing Harmony】: A bright and loud piece of music that evokes the blue sky of the lower heaven. (4 domes 2 lights)

[Strings and Ballads] + [10 Domes] + [Instruments] = [Fang Xing Harmony]

Uesugi Sumiko's fingers were extremely steady, and it looked as if she had played this tune thousands of times. The four girls from the Bond band present widened their eyes in surprise, even Yamada Ryo.

She was lost in thought at the moment, and after a while she raised her head and asked.

"Uesugi...can you do it again?"

Although that piece of music did not match the overall tone of their Bond band, or rather... it should be said that it was completely inconsistent with her usual style, she suddenly had a strange feeling, and her hands began to tremble unconsciously, as if she wanted to play something.

"Sure, a few times is no problem. Do you have any inspiration?"

Uesugi Cheng picked up the guitar and played it again. To be honest, he himself didn't quite remember this wonderful music of "Fang Xing Harmony". After all, in terms of power alone, "Deceiving the World" and "The Enlightenment of the End" both perfectly surpassed it.

From a musical perspective, he didn't really like playing this kind of music in front of other people, mainly because he was afraid that the music from the noon world would bring about some irreversible and wonderful changes in people, just like when he played "Open the Sky", the listeners' perspective had obviously changed by the end.

But after all, Fang Xing Harmony is just a short piece of music, so it does not have the power to change the audience. At most, it can only make the listeners sigh that the music is indeed beautiful.

"I see……"

Yamada Ryo was thoughtful and seemed to have found some inspiration.

"Uesugi, what do you want to eat next time? It's my treat."

Her words without hesitation made Ijichi Hongxia's eyes widen again. As her best friend, Hongxia certainly knew what kind of person Yamada Ryo was. Yamada Ryo, who always wanted others to treat her to food, actually offered to treat them on her own initiative. Hongxia almost started to tease Yamada Ryo whether he had a change of heart after being shocked by this song.

But Yamada Ryo's immersed and even fanatical expression made her give up the words she was about to say and speak instead.

"Uesugi-san, thank you very much. Ryo has been a little anxious about the new song recently."

Yamada Ryo came back to his senses, nodded, and then spoke.

"Yes, if you hadn't given me some inspiration here, I would probably have stayed at home writing music without doing anything. That feeling is really not very pleasant."

The feeling of being entangled in anxiety and suspicion is indeed not very pleasant, but the Bond Band seems to have booked a street performance next week. At that time, Uesugi Sumika will probably be on his way to find the Goddess of Demonic World, so he can only give these four girls some blessings so that they can complete the performance smoothly.

"By the way, since everyone is full...how about we talk about something interesting? It can be considered as after-dinner entertainment."

Kita Ikuyo suddenly raised her hand, and her enthusiastic eyes showed the ease of a social expert. At least Hongxia quickly caught up with the pace.

"Speaking of which, there's a very hot topic on the forum recently, which is that very scary ghost story."

Kita Ikuyo immediately understood what Hongxia was saying and nodded with a smile.

"I know, that's the one... The idol that was crushed to death by the I-beam suddenly became an evil spirit and started attacking humans. Come to think of it, we don't even know the name of that idol."

Goto Ichiri listened to their conversation in a daze. It seemed that it would soon turn into pale ashes. The topic of two enthusiastic, cheerful and lively girls was also a current hot topic. It was too profound for the socially anxious girl, so that the Japanese almost became garbled characters in her ears.

"Little Lonely..."

Uesugi Sumiko's voice at this moment was like thunder, or like the sound of nature, pulling back Goto Ichiri, who was about to be completely disconnected from the topic and could no longer fit in.

"How do you feel about your recent practice? When playing in a band, you must look up and look at your teammates, even if they are just following your rhythm."

Goto Ichiri blushed. She actually hadn't completely changed her habits yet. But after singing the song "If I Could Become a Constellation", she understood Kita Ikuyo's feelings and had begun to try to interact more with her teammates while playing, although most of the time she was still somewhat at ease while her teammates were trying their best.

Of course, if you are like me, and can support a band by yourself, there is no problem. Uesugi Cheng thought that he had not been practicing with RiNG recently. After all, after interpreting "A Child's Golden Afternoon Treasure" and Amilani Betel Stone, the lazy vacation he had originally envisioned was completely gone. Every day was a high-intensity study and practice, just to do something that would definitely be forbidden by Si Chen in the noon world, but could be done unscrupulously here.

Uesugi Cheng suddenly felt that the greatest advantage of this world was that Si Chen could not be supervised. The only one who could possibly supervise him, the Daytime Forge, acquiesced in all his actions and could even be said to have condoned them.

So Uesugi Cheng still planned to continue completing his work tonight.

319

Chapter 319 Gradually becoming a human being.

Hot liquid was flowing in the foundry. The temperature was much higher than other places, so Himegami Sakura quietly left the foundry. Only Uesugi Sumiko, with sweat on his forehead, was still busy.

"The power of orichalcum is indeed strong enough... otherwise it would not be able to withstand the power of leap consciousness that I infuse into it."

Uesugi Cheng sighed as the dagger wrapped with malice and bloodlust in the forge quietly underwent further forging. In this workshop, as long as the metals were put into the furnace, they would almost have to calm down obediently, no matter what form these metals had been in or what powers they possessed.

[Foundry]: Not even metal can resist such persuasion.

A huge and invisible force filled every corner of the room. Uesugi Cheng's soul was constantly reviewing the books, just to continuously inject strength into his first and second works after his rebirth.

The wolf's satisfied and resentful howl spread throughout Mansu, even causing some panic and curiosity among some curious people. What made Si Chen, who only had the desire for destruction, so happy? If necessary, they and their superiors might unite in advance to thwart the plan of this crazy Si Chen who was bent on destroying everything.

Of course, because Uesugi Cheng's protective measures were good enough, it was basically impossible for anyone from the outside world to discover that in one of the nine libraries, there was a daring librarian who could only use the power of the Split Wolf to complete his own work.

[Omen of Destruction (Unfinished Product)]: The wolf is satisfied with this. Never let its blade touch you.

The nature of this weapon kept fluctuating, just like plasticine allowing Uesugi Cheng to shape it, and it seemed as if it was waiting for more power to be incorporated into it.

Uesugi Cheng poured a whole bottle of [Throat Green] into it without hesitation, giving it the power to target the dead and spirits, although the power it originally possessed was enough to make most evil spirits flee in terror.

This risky move naturally brought about some risks, such as... a big explosion.

The forge in the foundry was fluctuating violently. After entering the forge, the blue-white liquid that was almost as white as snow seemed to be incompatible with the red essence and bitter black salt that were originally inside, causing the liquid in the entire furnace to boil and splash.

The second forging is about to be completed, as long as Uesugi Cheng can successfully stabilize the fluctuations between the liquid and the metal.

A violent explosion was heard. When Himegami Sakura hurried to the foundry, she saw the already ragged Uesugi Cheng excitedly wrapping the metal sword with the special leather. The entire forging room was already a mess, and there were even a lot of liquids with high temperature and destructive power splashed onto the workbench and walls nearby, leaving many scars on their bodies that had been polished by time.

"It's okay. At least I wasn't seriously injured, and the damage was under control. Ying, help me get two buckets of water to clean the areas splashed by the boiler water. Then I'll go to the town to find someone to deal with these traces."

In the Noon World, Uesugi Cheng was not a otaku who never left Silent Bookstore. Although he had no acquaintances there, at most he would go to the post office to find the goddess-like director to collect his mail and subsidies. However, with the power of pounds and souvenirs, he still gained a lot of friendships. As long as he paid a little money, he could get a pretty good helper.

Besides, compared with the losses in the foundry, Uesugi Cheng was more concerned about the sword in his hand. He had a clearer and more direct idea on how to complete this magic sword that might be regarded as one that should not have appeared at all.

It only needs to be forged once more and then cast to complete this accidental work.

After reaching this stage, Uesugi Cheng plans to bring this weapon into the real world. After all, it is not a place that wolves can influence, and he does not need to be afraid of becoming a madman with only destruction in his eyes because of the influence of the weapon and Si Chen's power.

Uesugi Cheng looked up at the time. The clock in the Silent Bookstore had already pointed to late at night, which was almost the same as the real world. In this case, he should take a shower, change his clothes, and have a rest.

Soaking in the bathtub, a product of modern industry, Uesugi Cheng's thinking speed slowed down. The warm water slowly healed the minor wounds on his body. Uesugi Cheng added a little healing liquid to the water in his bathtub as a guarantee of healing.

"Sir, the foundry has been basically cleaned, but the areas that need repairing will have to wait for you to decide."

Himegami Sakura spoke through the door, then slowly backed away, intending to lie down on her bed. Although she was a doll, for some reason, she actually felt sleepy.

The uncomfortable feeling of fatigue, which should only occur when spiritual energy is exhausted, actually emerged at this moment because of the passage of time.

That wonderful feeling of being human made Himegami Sakura feel a little distressed and surprised, but no matter what, she really liked the feeling of evolving herself step by step.

-

"Same old place, send two parfaits to the practice room."

RiNG's front desk welcomed a familiar guest again. The black-haired girl had a somewhat cold expression on her face, which was totally unlike the attitude a front desk waiter should have.

Of course, Uesugi Sumiya didn't care about this strange situation. After all, maybe he just encountered sad things or was in a bad mood. As long as the service was done well, he didn't care.

Following behind Uesugi Cheng is a petite silver-haired girl who is carrying a large guitar case and wearing a black mask. Her eyes sparkling like gems make people involuntarily wonder what kind of beauty the face covered by the mask must have to match those eyes.

Shiina Riki watched the strange man walk into the practice room. She slapped her face and wondered when she would be able to get rid of that feeling that made her feel sick.

"We've gone from being a single person to two people... Have you found a partner to form a band with?"

Shiina Riki murmured to herself, then sighed. As a drummer, perhaps she should start finding a band for herself and improve together. Although she could not be as good as her good friend, the bassist who played in different bands every day, she could not always practice alone.

320

Chapter 320: RiNG’s encounter.

Shiina Riki came to the door of the practice room holding a parfait. The scale of RiNG is actually not particularly small. At least their practice rooms are quite spacious, and there are several of them.

She knocked on the door. In fact, she knew that she shouldn't treat with malice a high school boy with whom she had no contact at all, and who at most seemed to be pretending to like music even though he clearly didn't like it.

But she didn't know why, she just couldn't accept it... Maybe it was because he was a bit similar to her sister in some ways, such as temperament.
