A comic book, but a librarian

"Oh, is that so? Happy or something..."

Toyokawa Shoko was obviously a little surprised by Uesugi Sumire's opinion, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. Suddenly, a small flame burned in her heart, thinking that perhaps she could also stand on the stage like them.

Uesugi Cheng could see that Toyokawa Shoko seemed to be somewhat interested, but he just came to listen to the live performance today and simulate in his mind what points he would need to take into account if he were to stand on the stage.

"If I had known earlier, I would have asked the guys in the Bond Band..."

As Uesugi Cheng watched the atmosphere gradually being stirred up, he was wondering whether he should just use the part about the great technique directly. After all, if he was not careful and something happened, he would be the one in trouble in the end.

"It's almost time for the show to end, and it's getting late. Miss Toyokawa, maybe you should also consider the time issue."

Uesugi Sumiya's sudden formal tone made Toyokawa Shoko tremble, and then she nodded a little embarrassedly. Uesugi Sumiya's hint... or indication was already very obvious. What she had to consider now was her identity as the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family. It was indeed not appropriate to stroll outside at this time. Although she was not quite sure why Uesugi Sumiya seemed to have no reaction to this question.

"Good night in advance then."

Uesugi Cheng nodded, said goodbye to Toyokawa Shoko and left RiNG. He didn't need to think too much about the band's affairs. Anyway, his goal was not to have a lot of fans, but to be able to produce "Thunder in the Swaddle".

Swaddled Thunder: A thunderstorm wrapped in finely spun yarn, ready to be released with a few precise cuts. (6 Hearts, 4 Domes, Tool)

This item was also made to deal with Tai Sui. Although it is not known whether Tai Sui is a righteous god or not, according to the situation of the Tai Sui spirit he encountered, it is completely fine to treat it as an evil god or an evil spirit, so lightning may be able to play a miraculous role against such a thing.

Of course, this all depends on how fast Uesugi Cheng is. After all, it's only a few months since he left Chun. If he can't figure out the production method, he can only rely on the [Bell of Ys] and [Apostle of Destruction], as well as many other tricks. Although he is not sure about Tai Sui's direct combat power, Uesugi Cheng feels that it is best to be fully prepared.

Of course, the highlight of the night is not this, the highlight of the night is...

"The Three and the Three" (Codex Sant'Chiavi): This book describes the workings of the Altar and the Root Crown. They are composed of three Hours, each with obscure but extensive powers and responsibilities. This is the only extant version that is free from the intervention of the Root Crown and is the best preserved. (This book hosts a leap of faith - a truth so powerful that it may even believe that it can be realized.) (Reading time: 18 months)

This is the only version that has not been modified without the intervention of the Root Crown, so the knowledge it contains is the most abstract and direct, and the requirements are also the highest. However, when [Asumai] was produced, Uesugi Cheng had already met the conditions to be able to understand it, but he just had never found the time.

【武力之敕令Lv.7】（8月）＋【苦艾之梦】（6月）＋【阿苏麦】（5月）＋【魂质:悲恸】（1月）=20月。

"The Night Watch Tree is a compromise. If the Root Crown could end it, then of course the Root Crown would. If the Night Watch could end the Root Crown, then perhaps the Night Watch would. Between their conflicting planes, sparks illuminate angles that no law can yet govern..."

Uesugi Cheng silently used a pen dipped in silver ink to analyze the book that emerged from his dream. It had been left there for so long that the knowledge in the book seemed eager to be deciphered.

【Intercalary Knowledge: Law of the Three】: The Hours will be bound by the decrees they have made themselves - even the Altar and the Root Crown. This is why their most fundamental laws are kept secret. In certain history, if we know these most fundamental laws, we can know what even the Altar and the Root Crown cannot do. (5 Hearts 5 Scales 5 Moths)

"I won't be killed by the Root Crown's people tomorrow, will I? The most basic secrets of the Root Crown and the Altar are actually placed in this book... No, it should be said that they are hidden in that stone slab. If it weren't for the fact that the location and the method of obtaining it are too special..."

Uesugi Cheng wiped the sweat off his forehead. Although the laws of the three did not have any malicious intentions for ruthless change, the knowledge contained in them still frightened an ordinary immortal like him. It must be said that the person who wrote this book was indeed a genius. He actually tried to analyze the most fundamental rules of the edicts established by the Root Crown and the Altar.

That is to say, it is to directly spy on Si Chen's secrets, and it has succeeded to a certain extent.

"Fortunately, I interpreted this book in the real world. Otherwise, if Runzhi escaped and was discovered by the people of Root Crown, I don't know if Aunt Mosip would have directly crossed the ban and appeared in Silent Bookstore."

Aunt Mosip is a subordinate of Root Crown member Sichen [Mare in the Tree]. The dangerous thing about the mare is that she and her subordinates can directly skip the "invitation" and enter any place, or omit this link in a strange and malicious way.

"But this thing is indeed...very effective."

Uesugi Cheng took a deep breath. With the blessing of the laws of the three, the effects of [Non-Invasion Edict] and [Threshold Edict] could reach a level of power that Uesugi Cheng could not understand at all, and could truly affect the real world.

Uesugi Cheng used the Edict of No Invasion, but did not make any talisman paper. He simply used the power of the laws of the Three and drew a line in the air with his finger.

The flow of spiritual energy was blocked instantly, and an invisible wall was formed. This wall was even an actual "air wall". When ordinary people bumped into it, it was just like they really bumped into a wall.

Contented, Uesugi Cheng looked at the gradually rising sun, lit a candle, drew the curtains, and lay down on the bed to prepare for sleep. Of course, he was not just going to rest, but more importantly, he was going to a trip to the "Fengshi"

391

Chapter 391: Fengshi’s commission.

"Fengshi welcomes you... Well, actually not very welcome. After all, you really caused a big fuss in Fengshi last time, and almost made a big mess that we couldn't clean up."

The middle-aged man's voice sounded extremely distressed, but also with a hint of excitement. Uesugi Cheng was too lazy to guess what these people were thinking. After all, they didn't even dare to show their faces, so it was difficult for Uesugi Cheng to respect other people's ideas.

"Let me ask you a question. Can Fengshi be considered the underworld?"

"In a sense, the underworld and the world are actually similar. The world is just a small 'different dimension' that exists in the world of the living, just like the others."

"Do you know Kunihiko Aso?"

"Oh, that genius mortal who looks most like a madman, it must be said that he is indeed a genius... Your Excellency asked if this person has any ideas?"

The middle-aged man's voice became alert. The last time they came, they asked Kishimojin. Although they solved the trouble that Kishimojin might bring, they added countless new troubles to them. The "trauma" caused by Uesugi Cheng when he used the sword has not been completely repaired yet.

"No, I'm just asking if you know him. I want to find something he left behind... What are you looking at me with? I'm not some bad guy. If you don't know him, then so be it."

Uesugi Cheng felt the helpless look of the middle-aged man opposite him who refused to show up, and frowned. When the other party saw this scene, he immediately raised his hands in surrender.

"It's okay, it's okay. You're right. I still have some stuff here. That guy was quite cool before he died. He even said shamelessly that he left me some gifts. But what's the use of these things? I'll give them all to you. Just think of it as someone inheriting his belongings."

The man snapped his fingers, and a camera that looked no different from an antique fell in front of Uesugi Cheng. Along with the camera, there were also a pile of notebooks. It looked as if Kunihiko Aso left behind all his knowledge before he was reincarnated.

"Sir, as a resident of Fengshi, I have a humble request... Of course, these things are not some kind of foreseeable reward or the like. This humble request is purely a request. Whether you accept it or not is entirely up to you."

The man's voice became serious, no longer sounding like the casual chat he had just had with a friend.

"I hope you can eliminate those 'different spaces' other than Fengshi... or try to purify the subspaces formed by resentment. This can be regarded as a commission we made for our own protection."

Uesugi Cheng was packing his things, he was not surprised by this kind of commission. Fengshi was not for an alien space similar to the "Underworld". The most intuitive similar existence was the "Inner S District", which was a polluted alien space. Its original function should be similar to Fengshi, but as everyone knows, there are always some people who have bad intentions, or affect its operation with selfish desires, so the Inner S District has become what it is now.

"What about the reward? You can't ask me to do this without any reward, right?"

Uesugi Cheng stretched lazily. The other party was not unreasonable, or rather, he understood these things too well, so Uesugi Cheng could only wait and see what he wanted to say.

"Everything contained in those spaces belongs to you... We will provide purification and a series of services so that they can be used by you and your friends. We don't charge a penny."

It was a very generous condition, but Uesugi Cheng did not agree to the commission immediately. Instead, he touched his chin.

"It looks like there's still room for bargaining, but I'll think about it first. You gave me Aso Kunihiko's stuff so readily because it also contained this information, right?"

Seeing that his little thoughts were exposed, the middle-aged man did not feel any shame. He just laughed a few times and nodded.

"After reading this, you will understand that the existence of many spaces is harmful to the human world and the world. The best policy is to deal with them as soon as possible. Although it is as soon as possible, it is not too early..."

Uesugi Sumiko didn't say much. He packed up his things and headed to the next location. The world of Oisei was much emptier than he had expected. There were still many dead spirits wandering around. People who were tortured by guilt in their hearts were trying to forget their past by leaving over and over again until they were freed.

Of course, Uesugi Cheng also saw something familiar. The 'Huang Quan' who was killed by him last time was still performing his duties well at this moment.

"Yellow Spring cannot be completely killed. It is a self-correcting mechanism within the world. However, the last time you saw Yellow Spring, it was polluted, so it was so terrifying."

Although the normal Huangquan is still unconscious, it faithfully performs its duties as a scavenger, washing away resentment and obsession.

"By the way, do you have any method to deal with that kind of indigenous gods?"

"No, you can just run over them. Most of the indigenous gods in the real world are no match for you. Of course, please show some mercy. Most of them are still useful."

"What about Tai Sui... that's not his real body."

The middle-aged man opposite wiped his sweat. He almost thought that Uesugi Sumiya was really going to fight with a powerful righteous god. In this case, Fengshi could only be sealed off from all directions to avoid being affected.

"You mean the Tai Sui spirit that was 'invited' by some idiot, right? It can be easily dealt with as long as its connection with the main body is cut off. A spirit that loses its brain while playing is not a problem at all. The main body behind it is the problem."

The man was very disdainful of the Tai Sui, as if he completely looked down on him.

"I understand... I'll be ready. Thank you."

Uesugi Cheng nodded and wrote down the key points. When it comes to closing off and cutting off contact, then Uesugi Cheng is not sleepy anymore.

"Ah... you really intend to do it, then I wish you success. Goodbye."

When the middle-aged man saw Uesugi Sumira's expression, he didn't dare to say anything more. He watched Uesugi Sumira leave Fengshi, thinking that he had finally sent the scary guy away.

After returning to the real world, Uesugi Sumiko was not in a hurry to get up. The mental comfort brought by the winter quilt made him squint his eyes, and then he closed his eyes again to sleep. The candle that served as a medium to the Fengshi had been completely burned out. This was why Uesugi Sumiko returned to the real world so suddenly. He was too lazy to go to the Fengshi again, so he simply ended his journey to the Fengshi.

Chapter 392: Lunch at the Uesugi family.

"Ring ring ring ring ring..."

Uesugi Cheng got up and turned off the alarm on his mobile phone. He looked out the window again and saw that the sun was already high in the sky, emitting a comfortable light. It must be said that the winter sun is indeed very appealing. After all, the cold will soon be driven away under the sunlight.

"It's already this late... It's time to eat, but I don't know..."

Uesugi Cheng squinted his eyes. He always felt that he had slept too long and was hallucinating. It seemed that he saw people who shouldn't be there appear in his apartment room.

"Brother, it's time to eat. Your brother brought a lot of good things over, but your sister doesn't know how to cook, so we'll just have hotpot. Luckily you woke up, otherwise I would have come over to wake you up."

Uesugi Saki was wearing thick clothes and seemed to have no sense of territory as she was yelling outside Uesugi Sumiko's room. It must be said that Uesugi Sumiko found that he was really sleeping too deeply and didn't even notice his family members coming in. After all, Himegami Sakura and Kishimojin didn't give any response.

"No, shouldn't you be staying in the family mansion at this time? Why are you running to my place? Don't you have a lot of things to deal with, brother?"

"Oh, those things don't matter. They're not important anyway... It's more important to come here to eat. After all, even without your cooking skills, your sister's cooking can still barely fill our stomachs. As for eating... The atmosphere is the most important thing."

Uesugi Shin was lying on the sofa playing with his phone and looked like a big boss, while Uesugi Saki looked like a cook, a little embarrassed.

"Say it again!! If you don't like what I cook, then don't come to the table later!!"

Uesugi Saki was very angry and tried to hit Uesugi Shin on the head, but it was obvious that she had no chance of success.

"Stop, stop, what's going on... Why are you running here for no reason? If things really don't work out, we can actually go out to eat."

"It's your sister who insisted on inspecting your living environment again, so she dragged me here."

Uesugi Shin yawned, but he did not feel any dissatisfaction. After all, when he went to talk to Uesugi Saki, Uesugi Saki told him about what Uesugi Saki was doing recently. As the eldest brother, he was indeed a little worried, so he made such a decision.

After all, he would never have imagined that his little brother, who only seemed to have some talent, would suddenly become a rising star in the comics industry and even help form a band.

Although he could understand Uesugi Sumiya's seemingly unparalleled talent in drawing, to be honest, when his comics appeared in front of Uesugi Nobuyuki, he couldn't help but sigh.

Those bizarre scenes, which could even be said to be realistic and terrifying, made him wonder if his little brother had some psychological problems. After all, it was said that such artists would have some of these problems to a certain extent, ranging from obsessive-compulsive disorder or various strange habits to depression or even schizophrenia, so Uesugi Nobuyuki had to be on guard.

"Oh, isn't my place pretty good? Wait...what are you cooking? Is it going to get burnt?!"

Uesugi Cheng smelled a strange smell, and he immediately realized that his sister had almost never cooked. He was afraid that his pot would be ruined, so he ran into the kitchen without even changing his clothes and started to deal with it.

"No, does it have to be like this to cook a soup base?"

Uesugi Shin looked at Uesugi Saki with some disbelief, and the latter could only respond with an awkward smile.

"I really haven't done it before. Maybe I just didn't put enough water..."

"How about this... little sister, give me the food, your brother and I will go into the kitchen, and you just sit outside."

Uesugi Shin sighed and took the lead. In fact, he also wanted to ask how the scenes drawn by Uesugi Cheng were conceived.

The strange giant bear, the shrine that was twisted to the point of being frightening, the peaceful yet strange mountaintop temple, Uesugi Cheng seemed to have seen those things with his own eyes and had almost "replicated" them completely.

"I have to say that this building's aesthetics are simply amazing... Bro, where have you seen this building before?"

Uesugi Shin asked while helping Uesugi Sumiya. He observed Uesugi Sumiya's expression and movements. His brother seemed to have no problems at all. Of course, he would not take it lightly, but he was relieved.

"Ah, I guess there are similar things in various books, so I drew them... That's it, is there anything strange about it?"

"No, your sister has never taken art courses, so she doesn't understand. But your brother and I are different. I have to say that our Uesugi family has also produced an artist."

Uesugi Shin sighed. He was just playing music, and it had a bit of a conflict with his family to be allowed to do so. It seemed that Uesugi Sho could support himself with this skill even if his family did not allow him to do so.

"What artist? If nothing unexpected happens to your brother, I will have a place at Dongda University... Forget it, let's not talk about it, let's eat first."

Uesugi Sumiya's words made Uesugi Shin open his eyes wide. After a pause, he silently helped to bring the soup base to the induction cooker outside.

The lunch at the Uesugi family seemed particularly sumptuous today, mainly because the eldest son, Uesugi Nobuyuki, habitually brought a lot of good things for the remaining two people to feast on.

"By the way, after the New Year, it will be the second half of the second year of high school, brother, do you want to move to another place? It seems that this place is still a bit far, and it is not convenient, right?"

"It's quite convenient. Besides, didn't you say that this is a property you bought before and then left idle? Then it's just right for me to live here."

Uesugi Cheng sighed that his family was indeed rich.

"Actually, I have another house closer to school. Why don't you take the key and come over to help me clean it when you have time?"

Without saying a word, Uesugi Shin handed the key to Uesugi Sumire.

"By the way, are there any activities organized over there? This is the best opportunity before the third year of high school."

"I don't know, it depends on the school's arrangements, but I might go out on my own for a while to collect folk songs and practice or something."

Uesugi Sumiko said this nonsense with an expressionless face, which no one would believe, but his brother and sister have become accustomed to it and do not pry into the family's little secrets. This is also an important reason why their family has a good relationship.

"But if that's the case, we'll be busy starting next year. We won't have time to care about you."

Uesugi Saki's words made Uesugi Cheng raise an eyebrow, and he thought that he seemed to be freer again.

"Compared to this, brother...someone asked me to find you. Do you want to see him?"

Chapter 393: Preparation for a long journey.

"See me, at a time like this? Who?"
