A comic book, but a librarian

The pure white room gradually began to be tinged with color, but Uesugi Saki did not come closer. He seemed to have something important to do. But this was enough, Uesugi Saki thought as the clip on the TV was gradually overwritten and turned into her favorite movie.

……

"Good morning, it turns out that your bed is more comfortable. I don't know why I couldn't fall asleep when I was over there."

Uesugi Saki walked out of the guest room and stretched, with a hint of lazy charm, then suddenly touched her clothes, her face instantly flushed, she didn't change any of her clothes, and she didn't even take a shower...

Under Uesugi Cheng's speechless gaze, his sister's expression suddenly turned ugly. She ran back to the room, grabbed her clothes and bath towel, and rushed into the bathroom.

"Hoohoo, what a cute child..."

The petite Kishimojin suddenly appeared beside Uesugi Cheng, leaned against him intimately, and watched TV with him.

Uesugi Cheng randomly changed the channel and saw a strange report. A fire broke out in a house last night. Preliminary judgment was that it was caused by improper use of gas and disrepair. He hoped that all residents of Tokyo could regulate the use of fire safely.

"You've covered up the matter so easily? If there's no follow-up... it's a good ending."

Uesugi Cheng yawned, then looked at the Demon Goddess seriously. Such a gaze made her straighten her back instantly, looking forward to what her "child" would say to her.

"Do me a favor?"

"What's the matter? Of course you can. What mother wouldn't listen to her child's request for help? What do you need your mother to do?"

Kishimogami happily hugged Uesugi Cheng's arm, the excitement and tenderness in her eyes almost overflowing.

"I want you to protect my family... there are only a few of them."

Uesugi Cheng thought about it and felt that the power of Kishimokami was more suitable for blessing and protection than his own, and he didn't want the power he had now to spread to his family.

Yes, after what happened last night, Uesugi Cheng suddenly realized that he seemed to have changed in many ways, a change that even he himself was not aware of.

"Isn't this your own choice? Is there anyone who can influence you unknowingly?"

The beautiful girl who had stirred up a storm in Tokyo last night and made many people sleepless and even restless appeared opposite Uesugi Cheng. The two of them sat at the two ends of a long table, just looking at each other.

The girl's beautiful face suddenly turned hideous, ignoring the dark red cracks spreading across her face, like a porcelain doll that was about to break.

"This is the will of the wolf, destroying everything..."

Uesugi Cheng sighed softly. No matter how carefully he handled these things, the power of the Split Wolf inevitably affected him, affecting his way of thinking and logic.

A violent snowstorm blew across the long table. The two 'Uesugi Cheng' who were just at the warm banquet scene were suddenly in the middle of a snowstorm that was about to swallow them up.

"It seems that I need to do a psychological examination and psychoanalysis on myself."

The fake body next to him, which was originally grinning, gradually calmed down, and under the influence of [Leap Knowledge: Enlightenment of the End], it returned to peace.

"Because of the wolf's influence, he gradually forgot the things he once valued, and then filled his heart with the desire for destruction... This is truly a very His-style power."

Uesugi Cheng rubbed his face. After coming out of his own consciousness space, he felt tired again even though he had just woken up. This made the petite Kishimoshin show a distressed expression. She pressed her little hands on Uesugi Cheng's temple and gently rubbed his head.

"I must complete the creation of the Omen of Destruction as soon as possible and then isolate the power. Otherwise, I don't know how my way of thinking would change... This is the power of Si Chen. Even an immortal cannot resist the influence of authority."

Uesugi Cheng sighed, patted the head of Kishimoshin gently, asked her to step aside for a while, and returned to the Silent Bookstore. In the foundry, the violent power rose and fell like the tide again. Although it could not break through the obstacles under some red-orange power, it still produced terrifying aftermath of power.

This made Douglas Moore, the visitor, feel a little restless. Although he heard nothing and saw nothing, he felt a little uneasy just sitting in a chair in the reception room and drinking tea.

The expression on the face of the bookstore manager opposite did not look very subtle, and there was even some murderous intent that was not directed at him, but it was still frightening. Douglas Moore wanted to leave here immediately. After all, it seemed that he came at a wrong time.

Douglas Moore: Detective Qiming of the Suppression Bureau. A stoic but tired guy. His biggest wish is to move to Chingford and grow some roses. But those bastards won't let him retire.

"I was hoping to get some advice from you about what happened in Messana. The higher-ups are worried that the visual phenomenon in Messana will continue to spread. I don't think so. This is not a joke. I don't joke often. If I did, I would let you know."

Chapter 349: Requiem Mass.

"To be honest, I really don't think the situation there will continue to spread. But sir, I think you understand that the higher-ups don't care what a small detective like me thinks, so they asked me to come here in the hope of getting more information."

Douglas seemed a little restrained, or perhaps the feeling of oppression from Uesugi Cheng was too strong. The feeling that he might be killed with a single blow of a knife at any time made Douglas very uncomfortable. It's not like he hasn't encountered those idiots who played with invisible techniques and thought they were superior, and it's also not like he hasn't seen this kind of power that goes against common sense, but the feeling of uneasiness that Uesugi Cheng gave him was too strong.

"Here's the book. Leave a business card so I can contact you when I need your help. Then just pay according to the rules."

Uesugi Cheng did not pay too much attention to Douglas's reaction. His current situation was not very good, but he still had to receive the visitor. As for the power stirring in the foundry, Uesugi Cheng had already borrowed power from the furnace by praying to it and would deal with it after he finished his own business.

"Okay, okay. I can't pretend I know what's going on there, but I'll tell the bosses you helped clear things up a little. Just kidding. I always keep my word."

After Douglas finished reading the book, he really didn't understand what had happened, but he remembered the help of the bookstore manager. After thanking him for the help, he left a copper coin and his business card and left the place as if he was escaping.

"Yakura, close the door... I need an absolutely quiet room. Don't let anyone or anything disturb me."

Uesugi Cheng gave some instructions and came to the church above the castle. The huge organ had been repaired by the engineers invited by Uesugi Cheng and could be put into use again. In addition, after Uesugi Cheng made careful adjustments based on the little music theory knowledge he remembered, it could now start to operate according to Uesugi Cheng's wishes.

So the young man sat alone in front of the huge organ, put his hands on the keys, and gradually exerted force.

"what is that?"

Douglas Moore, who was not far from Silent Bookstore, looked back at the bookstore. He had never heard such music before. It carried the smell of gunpowder and war, the desire for blood and death, but also a sense of rest. It sounded more like the music for mass that would be called a heretical ritual by orthodox church members.

First the organ, then the string group, and later the wind group joined in the performance. One after another, pseudo-bodies stood up as Uesugi Cheng performed unrestrainedly, some with delicate faces while others with blurred features, and they picked up their instruments to join in this huge mass.

"Who are you going to give it to?"

The gray-haired fake appeared again. She did not have self-awareness, but was just the embodiment of Uesugi Cheng's inner questioning of herself.

"do not know……"

The restless skeletons began to get excited, but under the suppression of the sarcophagus underground, they could only gently tap their bones that were still able to move in the tomb to join in the mass.

Shangshan Cheng didn't know who this mass would be dedicated to, Xindan, Canyang or Zhulu? He didn't want to do this, because these things had nothing to do with these Sichen.

So he looked at the symbol of the Church of the Invincible Sun.

"Dedicate it to our great and dead Supreme Sun, and use this song to commemorate his pain."

Inside the bell tower, a large bell without any power source suddenly rang. The entire Brancois Island could hear the heavy sound of the bell, which rang again and again, heavy but firm, as if resonating with the mass in the church.

……

Uesugi Cheng opened his eyes. The effect of the requiem mass was quite good. At least he tried his best to vent the restless factors in himself. For some reason, the power left in him by the Split Wolf seemed to be unusually docile, and it didn't take much effort to separate it.

In front of her, several beautiful amulets had been stuffed into the small bag and sewn with very delicate craftsmanship, turning it into a beautiful decoration.

"As long as you hold this, my power will be able to protect them!"

Kishimojin spoke at the right time, sitting on the sofa and looking like a kind old mother as she handed the amulets to Uesugi Cheng.

"Huhu, that little girl seems to have finally finished her bath. I won't appear in front of her anymore. You should get along well with your sister."

The Kishimogomi disappeared, and at that moment a sound was heard from the bathroom.

"Brother, help me get those thicker clothes. I miscalculated..."

A few minutes later, Uesugi Saki, who was wrapped like a dumpling, moved out of the bathroom and sat down in front of the dining table, ready to enjoy the fast food that her younger brother had carefully prepared.

"No, bro, why are you eating fast food? If you really can't do it, I can order takeout!"

Uesugi Saki poked the dish in front of her helplessly. She was not a picky eater, but to be honest, the fact that Uesugi Saki ordered takeout when he had the ingredients at home was obviously a bad sign for her, an older sister who cared about her brother's health.

"Oh, because you came so suddenly yesterday, I didn't buy any food, so I prepared this for you."

Uesugi Saki took out the amulet, and Uesugi Saki was obviously stunned for a moment. She looked at the amulet, then at Uesugi Saki, and fell silent.

"Don't do this next time..."

After saying this in a low voice, Uesugi Saki buried her head in her meal. Because of recent events, she now had a long vacation. She was not sure when the vacation would end, but what was certain was that even if she did not get a promotion or a raise, she would still have a raise after she returned.

Uesugi Sumire glanced at his muted phone and saw more than a dozen missed calls, all from Inudo Ranko. However, the other party did not seem to be in a hurry. The missed calls were made every half an hour, which seemed very leisurely.

"Hey, is Uesugi-kun free?"

Inudo Ranko's voice still sounded lazy, but with a hint of helplessness.

"What's the matter? I'm at home with my family."

"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that a group of damned people died, but the higher-ups said that even though they died, they couldn't just die like that, so they asked me to check it out. We don't have the ability to do that, so I'm asking you."

"No time."

The phone call was hung up. Inudo Ranko looked up at the people with unclear faces standing high up and smiled.

"Sorry, it looks like there's nothing we can do here."

There was silence.

Chapter 350: Pointless Investigation.

"I really didn't expect that this matter would just pass like that. I thought there would be more follow-up things that I would need to deal with slowly."

Uesugi Cheng spoke with a feeling of half relief and half regret that he could now suppress the impact of the Split Wolf within an acceptable range, but correspondingly, his body looked a little tired and exhausted occasionally. Although it did not affect his activities essentially, it did bring him some unexpected inconveniences in certain places.

for example……

"Uesugi-senpai, are you really okay? Why don't we take a rest first? We are all scared of you like this."

Uesugi Cheng was sitting in the audience, watching the four people finishing the band's performance, and he looked like he was going to fall asleep at any moment.

"It's okay, just have a drink. You guys made a lot of progress in this performance...it looks like everyone is working hard."

Yamada Ryo and Kita Ikuyo both turned their heads away somewhat embarrassedly. During this period of time, it was not only Goto Ichiri who was trying hard to integrate into the band. After the words of the unpleasant-speaking Miss 'Poison', they also realized that if they really needed to become professional, their practice must not be as sloppy as before, and both the length of time and the quality of practice must be improved as much as possible.

So recently, whenever Kita Ikuyo is alone, she tries to spend time in KTV practicing singing, while Yamada Ryo spends more time composing and practicing bass.

"Everyone……"

Goto Ichiri was actually a little shocked, shocked at the technical improvement level of the remaining three members of the band. Although it was not as rapid as Uesugi Sumika's that made them all despair, they had to admit that they definitely put in a lot of effort here during this period of time.

Of course, what shocked them the most was actually Uesugi Sumire. The faster he improved and the more powerful his skills became, the more they could realize how terrifying Uesugi Sumire was. No matter what, he just sat there like a stabilizing force. No matter what the question was, as long as they opened their mouths, Uesugi Sumire would be able to answer it, and he always used simple and easy-to-understand expressions, and it could even be said that there was no jargon at all.

Of course, this is not because Uesugi Sumiya is a good teacher or that he is good at teaching. It is simply because Uesugi Sumiya does not understand so many terms. The power of the great art taught him how to play and how to sing, but did not give him any theoretical knowledge. All that was left were some theories that may seem a little too outdated today, and... the singing that was directly performed with the soul.

"I also want to take a break. My throat is a little dry."

Kita Ikuyo cleared her throat. She used to occasionally go out to eat snacks and spicy foods, but now she has completely given up. Protecting the throat is the most basic quality for a lead singer.

"Come, drink this glass of water, and then listen to what I say..."

Uesugi Cheng tried his best to provide them with advice and even demonstrated it for them.

"That's amazing! Uesugi-senpai is really not going to attend that music festival?"

Ijichi Hinikaka asked from the bottom of her heart. She felt that even if only one person went up to play solo, Uesugi Sumika would definitely be able to use this opportunity to win the hearts of all the audience. This was confidence in his skills.

"No need. I'm fine like this now. To be honest, I've been pretty busy lately."

Uesugi Sumire sighed, and several people nodded in understanding. It can be seen that Uesugi Sumire is indeed very busy. His dark circles under his eyes are so serious. When he was giving instructions just now, he looked like he might fall asleep in the next second.

"I really don't know much about drumming techniques, so I'll have to brush up on them later. Oh, by the way...when is the music festival? I'll go and support you guys then."

Uesugi Sumire took out her cell phone and bought the ticket at the reminder of Yamada Ryo, and then continued their practice until the afternoon ended and it was afternoon.

Uesugi Cheng said goodbye first and prepared to go to the Metropolitan Police Department. After all, it was said that some departments of the Metropolitan Police Department were already extremely busy, and even offered generous rewards to the mysterious world as long as anyone could provide clues about what happened that night.

Of course, Uesugi Sumiko was not stupid enough to expose his fake identity for the bounty. He just went there to confirm some things and then did a routine investigation and interview with Inudo Ranko.

"Welcome, welcome. Uesugi-san is finally here... What have you been busy with these past few days?"

Inudo Ranko raised a subtle question at the beginning, and it seemed that she even had some doubts about Uesugi Sumire.

"Ah, I'm at home with my family. I wanted to ask you something. The prosecutor is being haunted by evil spirits, and you're doing nothing about it? If I hadn't been able to enter dreams a little, my sister would have been suffering from a nervous breakdown for who knows how long."

Uesugi Sumire mercilessly asked back the question that made them a little embarrassed, but Inudo Ranko's expression did not seem to change at all, she must have experienced this kind of thing many times.

"It's all right now. The group of idiots who attacked your sister have completely disappeared from the Earth. It was the work of a mysterious person. To be honest, this scared a lot of people. No one knows why that mysterious strong man suddenly took action without even giving us a chance to talk."

"What does this have to do with me? I just want to help my sister recover and let her go back to work. It's better for her to do what she likes than to let her worry about everything all day long. Of course, I understand what you mean by this, but to be honest, I really don't know anything."

In Inudo Ranko's eyes, there was no change on Uesugi Sumiko's expression. Although her intuition told her that this matter must be related to the high school student in front of her who looked a little indifferent, no matter how she observed, she could only see that Uesugi Sumiko was not lying.

This is a good thing, Inudo Ranko thought. After all, if the attacker's identity is confirmed, there will only be more and more trouble. It is better to let the attacker's identity be completely unknown. It can also be regarded as a warning to the people above, so that if something goes wrong one day, the whole family will be executed.

When the mysterious woman took action, she did not say a word. She directly ordered that everyone be killed. Even the people who were sent out were tracked and cursed to death. This undoubtedly made the bigwigs sitting behind the curtain sweat.

"By the way, the New Year is coming soon. I will check the killing stone for the last time before the New Year. How about the old method then?"

Inudo Ranko casually instructed someone to do something and took out an envelope.
