A comic book, but a librarian

"Okay, come to think of it, do you have any files on the case involving the construction company? This construction company should be quite famous."

Uesugi Sumire reported the name of the construction company, which earned him a strange look from Inudo Ranko.

"Why are you suddenly investigating this long-defunct construction company? Did they offend you in any way? And you want to dig up their graves?"

Although Inudo Ranko complained a lot, her hand never stopped touching her phone, and it seemed that she was really concerned about what Uesugi Cheng asked.

"It's a pity that these people are considered law-abiding citizens here. Basically, there is no meaningful information or files left here. This group of people is just like this..."

Inudo Ranko also knew that there was no way that there could be no information left here for a construction company from more than a decade ago. At that time, such companies were either related to the mafia or were the mafia's white gloves. Most of those people who had not been responsible for the deaths were kind-hearted. However, there was no information about this big company in the Metropolitan Police Department. Apart from the fact that someone was doing something secretly, Inudo Ranko could not think of a second possibility.

"Forget it if there is nothing. There is no hope anyway. I will take a look at the other files about those weird ones and the files about supernatural cases you have saved."

Uesugi Cheng was not surprised by this outcome. After all, they were able to even bankrupt the company in order to achieve their goals, so covering up to this extent was not a problem at all.

"It's all over there, just look for yourself for what you want. I won't translate it for you."

Upon hearing this, Inudo Ranko stopped her search and went back to watch the horse racing live broadcast. You know, she bet a lot of money on this game today. Whether she would have a good time or nothing during the Spring Festival depends entirely on this game.

"Have you had any large-scale actions recently?"

"No, you may know about this action faster than me. I am just an unlucky department head in a marginal department. I go to work every day just to wait for the end of the day."

"How's the Killing Stone?"

"Fortunately, we just need to reinforce the seal after the New Year. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if its power leaked out and possessed a normal person. I feel completely relieved if you are here with me, Uesugi-san."

It is obvious that Inudo Ranko is unaware of his great achievements in the Steel Man Nanase incident, and she seems very relieved about Uesugi Sumire.

"That doesn't matter. Let's talk about it after the New Year. I won't take the stuff away, but there's nothing wrong with taking a photo, right?"

Uesugi Cheng picked up a few files, which seemed to have nothing to do with each other, and were not even something a normal person would read.

"It's okay. You can do whatever you want without taking the original. Just don't tell me."

Inudo Ranko turned her head away and didn't even look at what was happening here with Uesugi Sumire. Anyway, no matter what happened, it had nothing to do with her.

Uesugi Cheng scanned the contents of the files using the scanner in the Police History Compilation Office. It must be said that although the work efficiency of the Japanese police is really shit, their machines seem to be okay. At least Uesugi Cheng thinks this scanner is quite easy to use.

"Okay, I'll come and play with you guys when I'm free, and I'll get some good food from the Metropolitan Police Department. Just call me next time if you need anything."

Uesugi Cheng took the copied files away directly.

Inudo Ranko looked at Uesugi Sumire's departing back and sent out the message she had edited on her mobile phone. Her immediate boss had only one request of her, which was to find out who Uesugi Sumire was and if he was really related to that powerful and beautiful evil spirit, to do her best to maintain a friendly relationship with him.

"Well, at least the higher-ups aren't stupid enough to say anything about how to control Uesugi-san. Otherwise, I'd have to consider resigning and going abroad to avoid disaster."

Inudo Ranko rubbed her eyes and felt a severe headache. She didn't want to find herself standing on the opposite side of Uesugi Sumire. She had been to the scene of the murder in person. The dissolved but stitched-together living body made her, who had seen a lot of storms, almost vomit.

All the people involved were cursed to death, and the other party didn't even bother to hide their methods, which were blatantly warning everyone of the consequences of crossing a certain line.

……

"What is the purpose of today's banquet? If there is nothing important, I will just sit here and leave."

Uesugi Sumiya finally confirmed on the phone that he was attending the banquet not just to eat and drink, but also that he could help Uesugi Shin with other things if necessary.

"It's not necessary. It's just a normal party, probably hosted by someone who wants to get into the circle. But whether they will be accepted or not is none of our business."

Uesugi Nobuyuki was lying on his big bed, holding the phone and sounding very relaxed, as if he had entered sage time.

"Okay then. I'm off."

Uesugi Cheng hung up the phone. He had actually arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall. His clothes changed from casual warm clothes to formal clothes. Of course, no one could tell that this young man dressed so formally was actually just an illusion.

"I didn't expect to meet you in a place like this, Yukinoshita-san...it looks like you are really unlucky."

"There is no luck or misfortune. I have to shoulder certain responsibilities when enjoying the benefits of my family, unless I completely break away from the relationship."

Wearing a dress, Yukinoshita Yukino obviously knew the weaknesses of her figure and tried hard to weaken the visual point of her chest.

371

Chapter 371: Yukinoshita Yukino's help.

Of course, the visual point of the chest is weakened, and the designer is very knowledgeable to put the visual point on the legs, which brings out the charm of Yukinoshita Yukino. Of course, if she hadn't insisted on making some changes according to her own style, it might have looked better.

"You have thought this through very clearly. This is rare for children from large families. In this case, I wonder if I could have the honor of inviting Yukinoshita-san to join us tonight?"

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded, walked naturally beside Uesugi Sumire, and started chatting with him, talking about some knowledge about fire stealing and lighting techniques, and some changes in supernatural places around Tokyo. In addition to the normal things they would talk about at a banquet, they talked about everything.

"Come to think of it, your fire stealing skills have made some progress... Are you willing to take the risk? Come and help me with something. I can't guarantee your safety in this matter, but you will definitely learn a lot."

Uesugi Sumire remembered that he still had a sword that needed to be forged. If he went to set up the altar by himself, it would not only be a waste of time, but also easy for his own particularity to cause accidents. However, it was different for Yukinoshita Yukino. People who knew nothing and had no practical experience were the most suitable to be the people who set up the altar. After all, they knew nothing and only needed to follow instructions.

"Okay, when? I'll see how I can make time."

Yukinoshita Yukino readily agreed. If Uesugi Sumire said that she could learn a lot, then she would definitely learn a lot. As for the danger to her life, Yukinoshita Yukino didn't take it too seriously. There is no good thing in this world that does not require a price to be paid. If there was, she would not have been awkward with her sister for so long.

"Okay, it's just a matter of two days. I'll go back and make some preparations. This operation doesn't involve outsiders, so it will be more dangerous. Just be mentally prepared."

"it is good."

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded. She also planned to make some preparations, such as using what she had learned to arm herself well, or at least take out some tools and weapons that could be used at any time, so that she would not have the upper hand when she had to use force. As a small "craftsman", she could still do this.

"Your sister is here to see me, so I won't stay long. See you later."

Uesugi Sumire had no intention of meeting Yukinoshita Haruno, and she was indeed not the kind of person who could get along well with Uesugi Sumire, so instead of saying hello hypocritically and making the atmosphere awkward, it would be better for Uesugi Sumire to take the initiative to change places to continue eating. He was not full yet, and there was a bunch of buffet-style food in front of him, and not many of the participants would eat these things.

Uesugi Cheng felt that it would be better to put it all into his stomach instead of wasting it. Anyway, he never cared about other people's eyes.

Shortly after Uesugi Sumire finished his communication with Yukinoshita Yukino, Haruno's face was no longer masked as usual, but she directly revealed a slightly gloomy expression.

"That was Uesugi-san just now, right? Are you guys that close?"

"Ah, we just chatted when we met occasionally. He and I were both called here by force. If we have common topics, communication will be very fast and effective. So why are you asking him about his business?"

"Nothing, mom just asked me to ask a few questions. After all, the person you are chatting with is one of the nominal heirs of the Uesugi family. Although the Uesugi family's assets are basically managed by his brother, the genius, and may even swallow up the assets of others, it is always a good idea to make friends anyway. So mom asked me to praise you this time because you really completed a very difficult task on your own."

There was an unconcealable helplessness in Yangno's tone. Perhaps the mother of the sisters was indeed a little obsessed, or she really wanted the Yukinoshita family to make further progress and never thought about stabilizing it first.

"I'm not that familiar with him anyway, so even if he wants me to do something, I probably can't do it. It's better to let Mother die."

……

While they were chatting, Uesugi Sumiya put down his plate, looked like he was full, and went to the bathroom. When he came back, he looked a little dazed.

"It is indeed a bit troublesome to have to control the fake body 100%. If the power of soul essence had not just been used up today, I would not have to personally come out to control my fake body."

As he spoke, Uesugi Cheng changed his clothes and determined the target's location through the phone calls he received. Yukinoshita Yukino would just be a witness to his alibi. As for what he was going to do...

"It seems that the organizer really has no secrets. After all, this is not an important banquet. So what's next is..."

That night, several people suddenly fell into coma while walking on the road, apparently because they saw something flashing, but they were found to be unharmed after being sent to the hospital.

"Okay, I have to say the evil spirit form does run fast. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to retrieve these things so easily."

Uesugi Cheng now has a lot of rare props and materials in his hands. The ashes left behind after the death of the spirit are what he will use next. Together with the red essence, they will become part of the forging material.

As for whether using the form of an evil spirit would cause panic among some people, this was not within Uesugi Cheng's consideration.

It is only natural that no one would doubt that a young master who was attending the banquet would be the protagonist of this incident, especially after they used various methods to confirm the fact that "Uesugi Cheng was attending the banquet."

The next day, the factory, which had regained its vitality, became bustling again. In a field invisible to ordinary people, a group of evil spirit workers were busy following instructions and setting up defense zones.

Yukinoshita Yukino had never seen such a strange sight before. A group of evil creatures were more human than humans.

"Hello, welcome here. The master is waiting for you in the central area. Please hurry."

The little girl who looked like a foreman waved at Yukinoshita Yukino and pointed to the middle of the factory.

At this moment, the central area of ​​the factory has been transformed into a large blacksmith's forge, and various materials are stacked according to the area.

"Here you are. Come and help me set up the altar."

Uesugi Cheng said so.

372

Chapter 372 The Dangers of Casting.

"What...are these?"

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed again, saying that her level and strength were indeed too weak. Apart from being able to roughly sense the nature of the things left by Uesugi Sumiya at the scene, she had no idea of ​​their names or functions.

"You will most likely be able to use the red essence as a high-energy fuel in the future. It is very useful. It is also used as a fuel here. It can also be fed to the workers so that they can work here peacefully without having to go out and attack humans."

The first sentence of Uesugi Sumiya overloaded Yukinoshita Yukino's brain. She understood the first half of the sentence, but didn't understand a word of the second half. What did it mean to feed the evil spirits and let them work with peace of mind? Has Uesugi Sumiya already started enslaving spirits to work for him?

However, Yukinoshita Yukino changed her mind and realized that the strange puppet girl following him was obviously following his orders, so it was normal for him to have many evil spirits serving him. There was no need to make such a fuss about it.

"This is orichalcum... a specially refined metal used as raw material. Of course, it's still a bit difficult to make, so we can only succeed once, otherwise I probably won't be able to gather enough materials for the second casting before the deadline."

Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino's face became a little more nervous. Although she didn't think Uesugi Sumire would do anything without confidence, when she heard that there was only one chance, she still felt the solemn atmosphere more or less.

"But you don't have to worry. If it really fails, it will just be thrown into the mountains and forests for a few years and then start over again."

"Then I think it's better to get it done in one go. Otherwise, there might be some weird stories about the deep mountains and old forests on the anonymous forum... So what do you need me to do?"

Yukinoshita Yukino was completely speechless. She thought about it for a while, and then had no idea what Uesugi Sumika needed her to do. After all, no matter how you looked at it, she was not the necessary person.

"Be my assistant. You are the only one in this place who really knows a little bit about the art of stealing fire. At least you are not completely ignorant of alchemy. Come, set up the ceremony first..."

Uesugi Sumire put all the items in order and opened the seal, causing Yukinoshita Yukino's palpitating power to dissipate instantly. She seemed to see a terrifying wolf looking around, as if it wanted to turn everything into a feast in its mouth. She could even feel that the breath of destruction was spreading. If it was left somewhere and no one dealt with it, all the creatures in the area would soon be affected, starting to lose their minds like zombies, and then attacking everyone indiscriminately.

However, a scorching flame burned in the small pool filled with the red essence, enveloping the sword that made people dare not look directly at it.

"Yukinoshita, the casting has been advanced... Start the action and follow my command!"

Without saying a word, Uesugi Sumiko raised his left hand and snapped his fingers, and flames rose up. Then Yukinoshita Yukino saw countless materials floating up on their own and being thrown into the furnace.

Following Uesugi Sumiko's instructions, Yukinoshita Yukino began to perform a simple alchemy ritual on the spot. All she had to do was deal with all external factors that might affect Uesugi Sumiko, including the processing and delivery of materials.

"Who gave us fire? Who gave us steel? What is the sound of the evening? Of what alloy is the wind made?"

Just like some kind of mysterious ritual, Uesugi Sumire sang loudly in a language that Yukinoshita Yukino did not understand at all. That language made her feel thirsty, but that was more like an illusion caused by the high temperature at the scene. Instead, Uesugi Sumire's beautiful voice and wonderful song made her even more confused.

"Xueshita, I will now teach you a basic principle... No matter what kind of material it is, it must have two sides, just like 'Qi' represents both opening and closing. As long as a certain technique is applied, all metals can present completely different properties... The greatest pursuit of the subject of [Hongzhong and Bronze] in the art of stealing fire is to create a weapon to end the war."

"The weapon that ends the war..."

Yukinoshita Yukino thought of a lot of things, but she immediately threw the distracting thoughts out of her mind, carefully learning Uesugi Sumiya's operating techniques, and mechanically processed the materials according to his orders.

However, the power of the wolf is not so easy to separate. Alloys collide and intertwine in the small furnace, just like a microscopic war. Yukinoshita Yukino even suspected that she heard continuous explosions coming from the huge furnace, but if she looked closely, she could only see the silent and solid black shell of the furnace.

"We call upon the Forge of Day, the god of rebirth with fire, the god of the end of change, the god of all night."

Uesugi Cheng holds the "Judgment" on a tarot card in his hand. If he wants to deal with the power from Si Chen, the best way is of course to use the power of another Si Chen. Since he has a good backer, why not use it?

The red flames suddenly became even louder and louder, and even turned into golden color, looking like flowing gold.

Uesugi Cheng did not need to forge this sword with the same technique as the Ys Bell, and it was not a weapon to start or end a war.

A long and sad wolf howl was heard, and then the flame instantly turned into the color of blood. The bright red flame spread instantly and blew the entire furnace to pieces.

Yukinoshita Yukino subconsciously lay down with her hands on her head to protect her vital parts, and in the process pushed down the cart in front of her and reinforced it with the suggested fire stealing technique to make it a "container to block stray bullets"

However, all the fragments stopped in mid-air, and Uesugi Sumiko's clothes moved up without wind, as if someone had lifted him into the air.

One after another, the copper rods made of mountain copper instantly turned into liquid, carrying enough heat to evaporate a person instantly, and flew towards the center where Uesugi Cheng was.

"Boom!!!"

A dull sound of metal collision was heard, and Yukinoshita Yukino subconsciously raised her head and saw a scene that she would never forget in her life.

The casting was still going on. Now that the furnace was blown up, Uesugi Cheng began a long tug-of-war with the sword using the most brutal methods.

373

Chapter 373: The Result of Sichen's Struggle and [Apostle of Destruction]

The Immortals of Forging are almost all perfect casters, blacksmiths, and designers, as long as they do not lose their reason and brains due to various situations. After all, their bodies are "recast".

However, this does not include Uesugi Sumiko. Although he is an immortal promoted by the foundry, but... as an immortal of the lamp, his casting technology has actually never been very good. If it were not for the knowledge and technology of [Hongzhong and Bronze] for him to use, he probably would never have wanted to cast such high-end items in his life.

When he thought of this, Uesugi Cheng's brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, as if some sense of incongruity was stimulating his memory, but he had no time to think about this strange sense of incongruity, after all, he was now engaged in a war.

The Split Wolf was so generous in giving blessings that Uesugi Cheng even suspected that if he returned to Silent Bookstore now, the "flower girl" would be standing at the door, ready to convey the Split Wolf's will to him.

Even after being cut off from Si Chen himself and meeting Uesugi Cheng who had the support of the Bai Ri Furnace, the blessing left in the sword did not seem to waver at all, and it faithfully conveyed the will to destroy everything to the outside world.

"Hold the ceremony, now."
