A comic book, but a librarian

"If you die or want to die early, I personally suggest you be buried here. This is a Feng Shui treasure land."

Ying Duolang stood up and dusted himself off. He didn't have the energy to understand the knowledge that was forced into his brain. Fortunately, the other party did a little processing to prevent his brain from exploding.

"Let's keep going forward. It is said that there is a city ahead... a city belonging to the dead."

Baoyue Yexiao took out a paper man. There were traces of blood on the paper man, which looked a little weird.

"Well, that's what it says."

……

"Hey, aren't we going to that city? We might be able to get more information there, right?"

Yotsuya Miko was a little confused. Why did Uesugi Sumire choose another route that bypasses the city?

"No, what we are looking for is not there. To be honest, few people know about the news of the Demon Goddess in this place, so we might as well just..."

Uesugi Sumire and Yotsuya Miko continued walking along the riverbank. In the white fog, only the occasional wailing and cries for help from the riverside made Yotsuya Miko a little uneasy. This river was obviously the Sanzu River in the myth, so there was no doubt that those guys calling for help were the souls who fell into the Sanzu River.

"direct?"

"We can just look for someone who may have higher authority here. For example, the ferryman of the Sanzu River."

Through the fog, Yotsuya Miko saw a solitary boat, almost like a piece of driftwood, slowly floating over from the other side of the fog. It seemed that countless undead souls stretched out their arms to try to grab the boat, but all were in vain. The tall and thin figure standing at the bow just slid his oars again and again, pushing the boat towards the shore.

"One silver coin to cross the river."

The ferryman's words were very brief, and he didn't seem to be surprised by living people entering the world. Or maybe he had witnessed such scenes countless times?

As if by magic, Uesugi Sumiko produced two silver coins in his hand, but what was more curious was that the surface of the silver coins was engraved with a not very elegant scene, and the style and specifications were something that Yotsuya Miko had never seen before.

"We don't accept this kind of silver."

The other party's words were still brief, and Uesugi Cheng took back his silver coin with great regret. You know, this kind of ancient coin is a hot commodity in the noon world. There are countless collectors and esoteric believers who use it as a circulating currency to buy and sell books and items related to the great art and the power of the hours.

"Well, in that case..."

Yotsuya Miko also began to think about what she needed to take out in order to cross the river, but she subconsciously overlooked one point: they were not going to cross the river.

"It is indeed like this. The operating logic of this place is like this..."

Two completely different silver coins appeared in Uesugi Cheng's hand. The boatman waved his hand, but did not take the two silver coins.

"That's it. We don't need to cross the river. If you can tell us where the Demon Goddess is now, I can give you silver coins as a reward."

However, the boatman just shook his head, paddled the boat docked on the river bank, and prepared to leave.

"You shouldn't go looking for her, and you can't find her. She doesn't belong to Fengshi. Go back and take the way you came."

After saying this, it paddled the boat away without looking back, as if heading to the next stop to extradite the dead.

"Let's go. The way we came here is clearly indicated."

Uesugi Sumire's confident look made Yotsuya Miko's brain dry. She didn't know why, when the two sides didn't say much, it seemed that she was the only one who didn't understand what was going on.

"It's very simple. The underlying logic of this world is, 'Let the dead lose everything and be reborn.' Jianzi, when you understand this sentence, you will know why I said this."

Chapter 329: Huangquan.

"Eh? Is it the logic of Fengshi to let the dead discard everything and be reborn?"

Yotsuya Miko was still confused. She felt like she had grasped something and started to scratch her hair anxiously.

"Ah, let me explain it more clearly. Everything here is to allow the souls that come here to gradually leave their past behind, leave this place as a new person, and return to reality as a child... This is why I said that there is no need for us to take the boat, because the boat fare is actually part of our memories."

Uesugi Sumire took a step forward and took Yotsuya Miko away from the riverbank. The fog was still thick, but Yotsuya Miko felt an unusual sense of comfort, as if she had come to some warm place.

"It doesn't seem to make any difference. Are you the miko who serves this being?"

Uesugi Cheng followed the guidance of the shrine maiden, who was not happy to do it but had to do it, and brought Uesugi Cheng to the god she served.

It was a strange statue, without a face, with an intricate and gorgeous headdress on its head. The whole statue sat cross-legged on the throne, looking as if it was waiting for something.

"This looks much more effective than those in the temple."

Yotsuya Miko saw the strange-looking statue from afar, and she simply closed her eyes to prevent herself from seeing something she shouldn't see and making the situation worse. Although it seemed that Uesugi Sumiko had captured someone else's shrine maiden and they had a grudge against each other, no one could say what would happen in the place of Fengshi.

"You...are finally here."

A voice containing some unknown emotion echoed in Yotsuya Miko's ears. It must be said that the other party's ability to pretend was really amazing. Yotsuya Miko found that she almost couldn't help but open her eyes to see what kind of existence could make such a sound.

Where Yotsuya Miko couldn't see, Uesugi Sumiko released the shrine maiden, who fled behind the statue, looking like a frightened bird.

"This will not be the last time we meet. That child's eyes are bound to cause her countless difficulties and torture."

"This matter should have nothing to do with you, unless you say that you gave her these eyes."

Uesugi Sumiko shook his head. It seemed that the other party was still obsessed with Yotsuya Miko's eyes. He didn't know that Miko was so popular in this group.

"That's true... The Devil Mother Goddess you are looking for should be dead now."

The voice coming from the statue made Yotsuya Miko's heart tighten. They had finally made it around in the world, but they were still one step too late?

"But I think you also know that death is not the end of everything... I really hope you can save her, because if not, she will become the nutrient of the Yellow Spring."

"What is 'Yellow Spring'? Please explain it clearly while we are at it."

Uesugi Cheng patted his head. Apart from knowing that Huangquan was also a synonym for the kingdom of the dead to some extent, he knew nothing about it.

"...is a collection of resentment. In Fengshi, all spirits except for the natives like us must let go of their past before they can be reborn. At the same time, the past they let go of is also the nourishment of Fengshi. But I think you also know that a spirit cannot have only positive emotions...pain, despair, jealousy, unwillingness, anger, these are also part of the nourishment."

The voice no longer came from the statue, but turned into a gentle female voice coming from behind the mist. Neither of them had the intention of finding out the other's true identity.

"They finally gathered on an old friend of mine... You can call it an old friend, or you can call it a mortal enemy. It has long lost its mind and can only rely on its instincts under the impact of these negative emotions."

The other party's voice contained an inexplicable sigh, as if he was lamenting the fate of his old rival.

"So I can't let it absorb the power of Kishimokami again, otherwise the balance of the world will be completely broken, and then the world will be completely intertwined with the present world, and then people and ghosts will be indistinguishable. This is where Kishimokami fell into the world, and then she was excluded by the world because of her special characteristics."

A light piece of paper fell in front of Uesugi Cheng, with a string of incomprehensible characters written on it, but at this moment it gradually turned into symbols that he could understand.

"Watch out for that guy, and go get her out."

"But isn't she already dead? Lord Kishimojin..."

Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but ask, it was obvious that Kishimogomi was already dead, so why did they want to bring her out?

"You will understand this problem when you see her... It's getting late, I will give you a ride."

"No, we can walk on our own."

Uesugi Sumiko rejected the other party's kindness and used his own soul to interrupt the other party's transmission. He did not really trust the transmission method of the voice behind the Buddha statue. After all, the other party's mysterious appearance made it difficult for him to feel that he had enough strength.

"Then I wish you to return to the world soon."

The aboriginal lady, unknown to both of them, finally gave her blessings without revealing her true face. Of course, perhaps it was because the deterrent power exuded by Uesugi Cheng was too sufficient.

"So are we going directly to this place now?"

"Almost. Let's look for Yexiaojiang and the others on the way. After all, if the passage to the place where Guizimujin is really opened from Fengshi later, it will be a problem whether we can send them back safely."

Uesugi Cheng planned it out and found that the way for Fengshi to return to the real world was not difficult. The corresponding door and key were already known to Uesugi Cheng.

At this moment, the characters on the paper changed again, revealing the current location of Baoyue Yexiao and his group.

"They really are..."

Yotsuya Miko felt helpless after taking a look. The three people in the picture seemed to be running frantically. While running, Hotarou used the magic he had just learned to confuse the pursuers.

"Let's go, let's go find them first and then resolve the matter. Go home and have a good sleep. Although it is winter vacation, it is not good for us to waste too much time on this. In another month, it will be the New Year."

Yotsuya Miko never thought that Uesugi Sumire would still be in the mood to talk about the New Year at this time. She couldn't help but sigh. Why didn't it seem like there were many serious people around her?

Chapter 330: Countdown.

Of course, Uesugi Sumiya would definitely not sit idly by and watch his other three teammates being hunted down, but he was quite far away from them now, so he could only provide some insignificant assistance.

"What is this... situation?"

Ying Duolang stopped to take a breath. He did not expect that the pursuers would stop like this. After entering the city of the dead, they soon became the focus of attention of all residents and were even hunted down. However, with the joint efforts of him and Baoyue Yexiao to block them, the other party had to return empty-handed.

Of course, if things ended so simply, they wouldn't have to run for their lives like this. Chasing behind them was a chimera formed by the remnants of countless vengeful spirits. It had no reason or brains at all, only an instinctive desire for living things.

It just so happened that these few living people broke into its territory and were thus subjected to its endless pursuit. However, now this huge aggregate suddenly turned into a headless fly for some reason, as if it could no longer see them in an instant.

"Come here quickly."

This sentence without a beginning or an end was suddenly written stroke by stroke on the ground in front of them. Ying Duolang subconsciously wanted to trace the source with his activated spiritual power, and then he felt a soul power that made him afraid linger on the sentence.

"Who wrote this..."

Baoyue Yongzi asked subconsciously. It must be said that Fengshi, this magical place, is like a pleasant amusement park for a female college student like Baoyue Yongzi who can be said to be a little abnormal. Of course, the premise of saying this is that they have the ability to leave here safely.

Then she realized that she seemed to have asked a stupid question. After all, whether it was Hotaru or Baoyue Yexiao, they both showed an expression of understanding, so there was no doubt that this sentence should have been left by their other teammate, the mysterious male high school student Uesugi Cheng.

"Acheng? Should we wait for them here?"

"No, we can't wait. Time is running out. Something huge has started to move. If we don't hurry up, we're bound to collide with it."

Uesugi Cheng shook his head. He didn't want to encounter the "Yellow Spring" mentioned by the mysterious aboriginal just now. After knowing what that thing was made of, Uesugi Cheng didn't want to touch that kind of thing at all.

Admittedly, Huangquan does not sound difficult to clear, and it is not threatening at all for an expert in disassembling souls like him. However, as an aggregate of pure resentment, slowly cleaning it up is like cleaning a room that has been filled with dry and wet garbage for ten years. Without adequate protection, Uesugi Cheng would never consider having any contact with that thing.

"We have to start speeding up. After all, I have left coordinates along their route."

Uesugi Sumire took Yotsuya Miko's hand. The girl had never expected that he would suddenly do such a thing. She trembled a little, and for some reason, her voice suddenly became softer, and she sounded very happy.

But the next second, Yotsuya Miko knew how fast the acceleration that Uesugi Sumiko mentioned was. She even felt like she was being dragged to run. If it weren't for the physical and mental peculiarities of Feng Shi, she would have probably fallen heavily to the ground.

The road beneath their feet suddenly shook, and all the living and dead in the world felt at this moment the sign of the awakening of the flourishing and terrifying malice.

As if enjoying a feast, the huge horror began to move its body which had not moved for a long time. Countless wails and curses emanated from its body, making the spirit not far away instantly become a part of it and be devoured by it.

"That's... RUN!!!"

Without saying a word, Baoyue Yexiao grabbed Yongzi and Yingduolang and started running wildly again. The route given to them by Uesugi Cheng was just on the path that the huge monster wanted to travel. If they didn't want to become part of the struggling and wailing monster, then they had to run faster.

"Wow wow wow wow!!! What on earth is that?! Why is that thing chasing us?!"

Ying Duolang screamed. Although he knew that his spiritual power was not that strong, after awakening his spiritual power today, none of the things he encountered along the way could be observed with his own power.

"How weak am I..."

Ying Duolang spoke helplessly. He felt that there seemed to be no essential difference between having power or not having it.

"Never mind that for now. If Yingdalang wants to become stronger, I can help you make a plan after we return. Now let's hurry up and run."

Baoyue Yexiao grabbed his puppet tightly and released the evil spirit that was living in it, letting it escape with the three people at a faster speed.

……

"We've arrived early... Jianzi, help me set up the venue."

Uesugi Cheng simply started taking out various magical materials from his package.

“Oh, these things are…”

Uesugi Cheng touched his forehead. It had to be said that in order to avoid meeting that huge mobile garbage dump, Uesugi Cheng now had to try his best to start his own arrangements.

The special purple solvent stayed quietly in the specially made transparent container in Uesugi Cheng's hand, but Yotsuya Miko's whole body was sending out warnings that she must not touch that liquid, not even at all.

[Azoth]: A solvent with a terrifying greed. Once leaked, nothing will be left. (6 Revelation 2 Cast)

"Although I've heard of this method before, this is the first time I've actually used it... I hope Faha will protect me so that I don't get chased and hacked for this."

Uesugi Cheng shook his head helplessly. After Azoth was placed in place, Uesugi Cheng pulled out his semi-finished product and inserted it in the center of the ceremony site. The malice of destruction was trying to break through the blockade of human skin, but the endless agitation of the Thunder Skin firmly locked the power wrapped in it.

The final ink [Gui Zi], which seemed extremely precious to others, was like running water from a faucet, flowing out of the bottle in Uesugi Cheng's hand and gradually filling this small ceremony.

"Run! The monster is coming!!"

A voice came from a distance, and Ying Duolang tried his best to remind the two people in the distance.

"Get ready to end. Listen to my countdown."
