A comic book, but a librarian

The group of people quickly skipped over the topic of Steel Man Nanase. After all, after understanding the basic situation, everyone suddenly realized that they actually didn't have any good solution for Steel Man Nanase, unless they could find a way to crack the rumors from the source. But as everyone knows, everyone present may have some influence in a specific circle, but in the ocean of the Internet, they are at most a drop of water and can't make any waves at all.

It would seem very powerless to deal with such a strange evil spirit made up of rumors.

"It's actually not that bad. The main thing is that everyone needs to use relatively legal methods to solve this problem. Otherwise, it will be much simpler. But I won't go into details about the specific methods."

Uesugi Sumika smiled, which made people feel creepy. Iwanaga Kotoko subconsciously held Sakuragawa Kuro's arm. She could feel the strange malice, which was not directed at a certain person or thing. It was just that Uesugi Sumika seemed to have a fundamental difference from them in the attitude towards certain things.

"A monster?"

Kotoko Iwanaga once again thought about how her boyfriend addressed Uesugi Sumikawa. She didn't know what Kuro Sakuragawa had seen, nor did she know what kind of person Uesugi Sumikawa was.

Even the strange puppet beside him that had disappeared was an extremely dangerous existence to Iwanaga Kotoko.

So she had to handle every word she said properly. After all, the person she was facing might not be an ordinary person or even a human being, but a monster that was more terrifying than her immortal boyfriend.

After the barbecue was served, the atmosphere in the box obviously relaxed a lot. Although they were not very familiar with each other, the six people finally got to know each other. Sakuragawa Kuro was eating barbecue, and suddenly raised his head and said that he wanted to go to the toilet.

……

"Excuse me, what's the matter?"

"There must be something you haven't told us about Steel Man Nanase's origins, right?"

Uesugi Sumire got straight to the point. When Kuro Sakuragawa was dealing with the incident of Steel Man Nanase, he obviously had a sense of "responsibility". It was obviously a strange story that had nothing to do with him. Even if he was immortal, the idea of ​​using his own death to get rid of Steel Man Nanase was itself abnormal.

"I'm sorry, but this is something I haven't verified myself, so I didn't bring it up directly."

Kuro Sakuragawa admitted this very frankly. Of course, he did not say that he was hiding something, but he was still confirming it.

"In that case, can you tell me about it? Maybe I can help you investigate it."

"Actually, I have some clues about the mastermind behind this incident, but to be honest... this matter is too much for me..."

Kuro Sakuragawa stopped talking. He really didn't want to say that the mastermind might be his sister, the family member who truly loved him. But when he thought about what kind of person she was, he had no intention of hiding it. The harm caused by Steel Man Nanase was too great, and he had to be responsible for what his family had done.

So Sakuragawa Kuro told Uesugi Sumire his guess truthfully. Uesugi Sumire was stunned for a moment. Immortal body, or the immortality artificially transformed from two ordinary people. If this happened in the noon world, it would probably have attracted countless gazes.

"Then, can you do it... For example, control your sister? I should be able to solve this problem as long as I can find her."

"She has been discharged from the hospital. I just found out about this last week. I wanted to ask her about Steelman Nanase, but then I found out that she had passed away."

Kuro Sakuragawa showed a subtle sense of fatigue. He had indeed traveled to many places for this matter, and finally found Steel Man Nanase. As for his sister, it was probably a long way off.

"Well, I'll go find her."

Uesugi Cheng nodded, but he didn't finish the rest of the sentence. 'Then get rid of her cleanly... or not so cleanly, at least don't let her continue this experiment.'

This kind of technique and knowledge really shouldn't appear in the world.

"Jiulang-senpai!! Why are you guys chatting here?"

Iwanaga Kotoko poked her little head out and spoke speechlessly, so the two of them went back into the box and continued to fill their stomachs.

Chapter 343: Further study of the art of night wandering and the art of stealing fire.

This wonderful midnight snack ended with a conversation among several people. I have to say that although Kotoko Iwanaga would occasionally say a lot of dirty jokes that would make Yukinoshita Yukino blush, her grasp of the conversation topics was definitely among the best.

At least Hikigaya Hachiman felt that he would never be able to do it so easily.

You can guide the topic to the direction you want without anyone having any special feelings. It also feels like a spring breeze.

"So is Steel Man Nanase really artificially created? Who can do such a thing?"

Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to be deep in thought, and there was no sign of her blushing face from time to time because of the dirty jokes in the box just now.

"For now, this is the case. After all, do you still remember what Goto Nanase looks like? Would a normal evil spirit have such obvious features? The features of Steelman Nanase are all very contrasting and suggestive. It's as if they were designed this way just to be remembered by people."

Hikigaya Hachiman shook his head. He estimated that this incident would most likely not be able to be resolved by violent means. If it was evil spirits that did evil based on their own consciousness, they could just push it away.

But Steel Nanase is not in this situation. For everyone, she is not the trouble. After all, they can still remember clearly how Uesugi Sumire called on Himegami Sakura to suppress Steel Nanase so cleanly that she couldn't raise her head.

"The key is what the people behind the scenes want to do, and what methods they use to create mindless weird evil spirits."

"It's alright. There's no rush for this. Let's just leave it at that for today. Now that we've confirmed that Steel Man Nanase's fighting ability is not strong, the rest of the work will be much easier. At worst, I can just have someone keep an eye on her and fight her."

Uesugi Sumiko smiled. Steel Man Nanase was harmless to him. After all, even if there were casualties, it would not be a big deal. After all, according to her method, it would be a blessing from God if she could kill one person at a time. This number was not as many as the number of accidental deaths in Tokyo every day.

So Uesugi Cheng persuaded his two teammates to go home first, and by the way, he told Yukinoshita Yukino about the great art that he would formally teach her next [Glass Blowing and Container Making].

"Eh? Glassblowing? Is this something you can learn from the Fire Stealing Technique?"

It was obvious that Yukinoshita Yukino was a little surprised. She had been dealing with explosives and flames recently, and could even be said to have made up for some chemistry, but now suddenly starting to develop into a craftsman really caught her off guard.

“The emphasis is not on glassblowing, but on vessel making…glassblowing is just a vehicle.”

Uesugi Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, the greatest use of this skill for him was to make various "containers", including ritual items.

[Glassblowing and Container Making Lv.1]: "We are all containers. Let us only contain those things that will add to our glory when the light shines."

——Tilzabrek (2 Revelation 1 Dome)

"I see……"

Yukinoshita Yukino did not ask any further questions. In fact, she felt that it was fine to learn anything now. They all started with the same basic knowledge, but they were all wonderful abilities and skills that she had never imagined.

"Then Hikigaya-san... after [Door and Wall], the next thing I'm going to teach you is [Twisted and Fissured]. To be honest, this technique is a bit dangerous, so be prepared."

Hikigaya Hachiman was stunned for a moment. He thought he was already good enough as a locksmith and a compass, so why was he adding to his pressure even though he was already in his third year of high school?

"What is this?"

"How to bind and release things like earthquakes."

[Qiu Pan and Cracks Lv.1]: Worms, Qi Pan, Dangerous Areas; How to restrain earthquakes, and why to release them. (2 scales, 1 honey)

Uesugi Cheng has only begun to learn and master these things. He plans to teach while learning himself, so that he can better understand what these skills contain.

Hikigaya Hachiman's face suddenly turned a little worse. He actually felt that he did not need such terrible power. Having lived in Japan for so long, it was impossible for him not to have experienced what an earthquake was like. It was precisely because of this that he deeply realized how much outrageous power was hidden behind Uesugi Sumire's light words.

"Don't worry. Even if you learn it, you probably won't be able to control earthquakes. But with a little guidance, there shouldn't be any problem. You might even become a geologist."

"Come on, geologist, can I live safely until I graduate from university? Uesugi, I am really a little scared now. What kind of weird things are there in Tokyo?"

Hikigaya Hachiman finally couldn't help it, and the dead fish eyes that had disappeared for a long time returned to his face. He was now afraid that he would be cursed and die suddenly while sitting at home.

"So you have to learn. Only after you learn, you will know how to deal with these things...Okay, let's go home first. We'll see how to deal with these things tomorrow."

Uesugi Cheng shook his head. In fact, the best way was to borrow enough mirrors and light sources, and make some arrangements to carry out a collective brainwashing of the entire Tokyo city. The impression of Steel Man Nanase would be erased from the minds of the people in Tokyo. In this way, Steel Man Nanase would basically have no power.

But Uesugi Sumiya did not intend to do so. This matter had nothing to do with him, and Steel Man Nanase was not a particularly dangerous monster. There was no need for him to take risks and go through the trouble of using this plan.

"Let those kind-hearted guys solve it themselves. I'll just help cover the bottom."

Uesugi Cheng touched his head. He was about to complete the final understanding and study of [Hongzhong and Bronze], and then he would study the books about [Lock Spring and Clockwork]. Only after he had completely learned and understood these two great techniques, would he be qualified to think about how to cast [Ys Bell].

"But compared to the Ys Bell, we still have to deal with the sword first. The blessing of the Split Wolf is really difficult to deal with this time."

Uesugi Cheng sighed, he estimated that the saint's skin would start to lose its effectiveness soon, he had to either deal with the sword as soon as possible, or find a new content to seal the magic sword.

Thus, another night came to an end, and when the sun rose the next day, everyone received a message that made them feel helpless.

"Steelman Nanase caused casualties..."

344

Chapter 344: Purge.

"The prophecy beastware is said to be able to activate a prophecy that is bound to come true at the cost of one's life. To be honest, I personally think that prophecies should not exist in this world, but there are always such things that appear."

Hikigaya Hachiman scratched his head. He had already made up a lot of knowledge about folklore. To be honest, it was very difficult to study when working with Uesugi Sumire because there were so many things to learn.

"However, that immortal power... should be the so-called mermaid flesh. To be honest, this hybridization is a monster that goes against common sense. It is indeed a monster that should not appear in this world."

Uesugi Sumire put down the book in his hand. What they were discussing was not the target, Steel Man Nanase, but their companion, the man named Sakuragawa Kuro. In terms of the value of the power of immortality, he was undoubtedly the most valuable target.

"To eat the flesh of a piece of meat and a mermaid at the same time and still survive, to be honest, this probability shouldn't exist, so I can understand that he would gain this kind of power that is like a card bug."

Hikigaya Hachiman yawned. The probability of such a thing being zero was actually achieved by someone. So Hikigaya could understand how powerful he was.

"But to be honest, how are we going to deal with Steel Man Nanase? There have been casualties. Someone was beaten directly into the hospital and is still unconscious."

Yukinoshita Yukino touched the book in her hand. The words written on it were not Japanese or English, but some other language. This was a small test given to them by Uesugi Cheng. These reference materials were all written in non-ordinary languages, and they needed to review the language while studying.

"Let's leave this matter to Miss Iwanaga Kotoko. She seems quite capable. As long as she can solve it, that's fine."

Uesugi Cheng yawned. He had no intention of doing it anyway. After all, he didn't have the energy to do such delicate work.

"Compared to this matter, the mastermind behind this is more worrying. He artificially guided public opinion to create such a thing..."

Yukinoshita Yukino crossed her arms across her chest a little uncomfortably. She really didn't know what to say. She had already accepted the existence of evil spirits, but now this kind of "monster of imagination" appeared again. She always felt like she just couldn't keep up with the version.

"That's true, but we can't lock on to the target. After all, Tokyo is so big, there are many people who can do such things. In addition, the other party posted these things on the completely anonymous Internet."

Uesugi Cheng was scrolling through his phone as one after another 'Anonymous Hopes' were flooding the forum. What they were discussing was undoubtedly an incident that happened not long ago. The news came from nowhere that someone was hit on the head by an I-beam in the park and was hospitalized for a severe concussion. The photos even showed her face. Although the face of the steel man Nanase did not appear, it seemed that someone had taken a photo of her carrying the I-beam when she left.

"First, let's find someone to track down the creator of the website. Then, let's try to find out who is behind Steel Nanase. I have to try to use Steel Nanase to predict who is behind her."

Uesugi Cheng touched his hair. Divination has never been his strong point, or he has never studied this type of magic carefully.

"Then today's study session ends here. I hope everyone can review it and then move on to the discussion of another incident."

Uesugi Cheng took out a huge map. It was the map they had originally posted in their secret activity room at Unified High School, but it was taken out by Uesugi Cheng before the winter vacation.

"For now, these doubts have been cleared up. I have to say that people in Tokyo really have nothing better to do than spread rumors. I didn't expect that there would be an 80% error rate."

The densely packed points on the map were now flashing with different colors of light. Most of them had turned white, with some flashing green and red.

This is the success of the cooperation between Uesugi Cheng and the Dragon Ball Group. The gang organization's promise to help Uesugi Cheng take photos has yielded certain results. At least the standard amulets distributed by Uesugi Cheng on their staff did show signs of having been attacked.

"I didn't expect those old guys to have such a keen sense of smell. They're already asking for orders now."

Uesugi Cheng picked up the crudely made amulet, which was shaped like a small cross with an old English sentence engraved on it: "I have permission, but you have not."

This amulet does provide one-time help to people who encounter supernatural events. Uesugi Sumira's original intention was to let these people die so quickly, at least to obtain all the information before dying. Unexpectedly, this shoddy thing was sought after, and many gang members who have used it have begun to buy it everywhere for a large sum of money.

"So these places are... the ones that have things?"

What Hikigaya Hachiman was referring to was undoubtedly a 'spirit', or a spirit that posed a high degree of threat.

"That's right, let's take care of them. I've roughly marked their danger levels. If you really can't help, you can call me."

Uesugi Cheng planned to let his companions practice, so that at least they would not have any practical experience at all.

"I don't have any problem, but as for Yukinoshita..."

"I understand. I will start working on a strategy to deal with these evil spirits."

Yukinoshita Yukino agreed much more quickly than Hikigaya Hachiman. She looked at the map seriously, and it was unknown what she was thinking about.

"I'll go keep an eye on Steelman Nanase myself."

Uesugi Sumire finally assigned the task. Yotsuya Miko has been working hard to improve her precarious grades recently so as not to worry her family when school starts.

Just like that, several people left the family restaurant and walked in different directions.

Then, that afternoon, many psychics who had reported to the official department reported to the official department in unison that an army of evil spirits had appeared on the road in broad daylight. If ordinary people had not been unable to see them, it would have caused panic. What made them even more horrified was that this army was quickly and thoroughly clearing out the spirits in Tokyo.

……

"Clean it up and go to the next place."

Uesugi Sumire sat expressionlessly next to the abandoned building. Several soldier evil spirits with guns were on guard, and the wailing of evil spirits could be heard from inside the building from time to time.

345

Chapter 345: Silent Rage.

Uesugi Cheng acted very quickly. After all, he had an army in his hands that was made up entirely of evil spirits of dead soldiers, plus spiritual equipment produced in Hualing's factory. Facing these evil spirits that basically just killed a few people to maintain their own existence, he could easily crush them.

"Hey? What did you say? A large-scale evil spirit army appeared in Tokyo. What does that have to do with me? If you want to deal with this matter, just find someone to do it. I'm busy now, let's talk about it when you have time."

Uesugi Sumire hung up the conversation with Inudo Ranko, and watched several evil spirits pick up their guns and directly shoot a hanged evil spirit to death, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, this kind of thing has no effect on ordinary people. Most of those psychics are idiots who think they are superior and have some family background. They will not take action for ordinary people. The psychics who do take action will be taken to a hotel by Uesugi Cheng's illusion and sleep in a room until the next day.

"I've never led a team to conduct a clearing mission before... This is enough."

Uesugi Sumira's real body was lying on the bed at home and resting well. He just hung up a phone call. Now it was his fake body that appeared in a mysterious place in Tokyo.

"Repelling barriers and concealment spells... I didn't use these things when these evil spirits appeared, but now that I'm here to clean up the evil spirits, I'm starting to use them. It's quite funny."
