A comic book, but a librarian

Uesugi Sumire walked into the abandoned building with arrogance. It was said that this place was going to be demolished after the company went bankrupt, but for some unknown reason, the construction team seemed to encounter accidents every time they were about to start work. Over time, no one dared to undertake this project, and the building was left abandoned.

"Tsk tsk tsk, these people really know how to have fun, setting up this kind of sacrificial site right under the building."

Uesugi Cheng came to the first problematic place without any obstruction. There was a huge room in the basement of the building. The blood inside had dried up, leaving only an extremely ominous color. White bones could be seen on the huge altar, as well as a complete human skeleton lying under the altar.

"You sacrificed a certain being but it went wrong and you got yourself killed?"

This was Uesugi Cheng's first impression. He roughly figured out the nature of this place, and then continued to conduct a detailed investigation.

Chapter 396: Destroy the Node.

"The resentment of the dead lingered in the end, so this building has such a strange feeling. Although there is no means to actively cause harm to people, ordinary people will feel uncomfortable if they get close to it. And combined with the remaining ominous aura, it is not surprising that it has evolved into a curse."

The black mist lingering around Uesugi Cheng seemed to want to wrap around this uninvited guest, but before they touched Uesugi Cheng, the pale white light made them melt away together, leaving no trace.

"Let me see... This guy is totally unfamiliar to me. This thing has never been recorded in the myths of the Noon World or this world. Where did this evil god come from... No, this thing points to something that cannot possibly exist. Did this unlucky guy get fooled?"

Uesugi Cheng looked at the completely weathered offerings and the priest who obviously died with his eyes open, and lamented that these days' cultists would indeed die with their eyes open if they didn't have some brains and knowledge, and even the being they wanted to worship would not exist.

"But... this technique and ritual venue are obviously not the first time this has been done. Who did he successfully sacrifice to before? Why did he fail this time?"

Uesugi Cheng tried to communicate with the spirits, but to be honest, regardless of how long the person had been dead, just these curses showed that there was no spirit in this place that could provide information, so Uesugi Cheng could only shake his head and sigh. The quickest method failed here, so the only thing left was hard work.

"First, we need to purify this place... to prevent any evil spirits from occupying the nest and causing trouble after they are full."

Uesugi Cheng controlled the complete skeleton. This complete skeleton was obviously more useful than the incomplete bones used as sacrifices.

He first let the skeleton destroy the altar, then ignited a cluster of golden flames, directly setting the basement on fire.

"The next step is the surface part. I hope there are some things left behind when they left in such a hurry. Otherwise, I will have to consider learning how to be an electronic ghost and beat up that late-night radio station."

Uesugi Cheng's figure became illusory and passed through the wall directly to the surface. Since the company's bankruptcy was somewhat sudden, there were obviously a lot of paper documents and various storage devices left in the building waiting to be processed. Of course, most of them were completely damaged and unusable. Even the office paper had turned yellow and became brittle, and it seemed that it would break with the slightest touch.

Even so, Uesugi Sumiya still found some things, which were stored in a secret compartment in the upper office. It was sealed so perfectly that more than ten years had not caused much impact at all. Uesugi Sumiya saw several thin CDs, a notebook and a USB flash drive which was super rare at the time.

"Tsk, I found something..."

Uesugi Cheng originally wanted to take the thing out directly, but then he thought that this kind of thing would most likely have some special protective measures.

"As expected, the curse and self-destruction measures are quite well done, but the technology is a bit mediocre..."

A pale golden light spread out from the soles of his feet. The power from the colonel was dazzling at this moment. The pale white light enveloped all the things that should not exist except the target. Then black flames emerged from those objects, as if they were fuel that encountered flames. They exploded in an instant, but soon went out.

"Do you feel anything? But it's meaningless... After all, your 'nodes' are about to be completely burned by me."

The precious red essence flowed on the floor as if it was free of charge. Although the amount was not large, the energy contained in it was enough to make people who knew about it feel palpitations.

Although the properties of the red essence are relatively stable, it does not mean that it is a simple substance. Uesugi Cheng snapped his fingers, and a spark flew out from between his fingers and fell onto the reddish-orange liquid.

What followed was a violent explosion, as if a huge explosive had been stuffed into the floor. The floor was quickly engulfed in the flames of the explosion, followed by billowing black smoke and the beginning of the spreading flames.

This undoubtedly scared the nearby residents half to death. The abandoned building, which was originally extremely ominous, suddenly exploded at this time. They even seemed to hear screams mixed in the explosion, like the unwilling cries of the dead. This rumor spread quickly, making many people want to move away.

"Well, I haven't done blasting work for a long time. I didn't expect that her skills have not fallen behind. Next time, I have to teach Yukinoshita how to do this kind of work. If she wants to get involved in the construction industry, she must know these things... The 'Snow Woman' ended up doing civil engineering, and she did blasting. Isn't this a subtle contrast?"

Uesugi Sumiko smiled, he had already moved the things he wanted to take away before the floor exploded, and he limited the scope of the explosion very accurately, most of the building would be destroyed. Although this would certainly not be hidden from the mastermind, Uesugi Sumiko had no intention of hiding it from anyone, after all, he was not an 'investigator seeking the truth', but a 'mysterious and terrifying evil spirit with unknown purpose'.

The aftermath of the explosion did not threaten the lives of people around. Rather, the open space near the building became a good buffer zone. Faced with such a building, most people wisely chose to walk around it. No one wanted to be plagued by bad luck or even be in danger of their lives.

"As expected, the building is designed as a certain node. I wonder if you are anxious now? Anyway, I am not anxious..."

Uesugi Cheng felt something silently breaking. This was no different from the previous petty theft investigations. The other party would definitely launch a fierce counterattack next. After all, Uesugi Cheng could be said to have perfectly destroyed an important node.

"Let me see how big a mess you can make..."

Uesugi Sumire disappeared into thin air, and then the fire truck drove quickly to the explosion site with the sirens blaring.

"Hello, Inspector Inudo? There is a mysterious person here. You better be careful from now on... After today's explosion, someone will soon do something desperate... Be careful of what will happen in public places."

Chapter 397 Christmas Eve.

Inudo Ranko looked at her cell phone speechlessly. Inudo Ranko only knew one person who would speak in such a tone, that strange guy, Uesugi Sumiko, who seemed like a reincarnated person. But the other person's current condition was obviously not right, otherwise he would not have used such a method that was completely like a ghost call to send her a message.

"I see. I'll pay attention. But is there anything wrong with you?"

Inudo Ranko asked back out of habit, and Feng Haijun, who turned on the TV and started slacking off, almost spit out a mouthful of coffee. He asked while watching the emergency program on TV.

"What happened to Tokyo? Are there any terrorists sneaking in?"

The program was reporting the news of a building being blown up. Reporters on the scene were also broadcasting live the firefighters putting out the fire. The report mentioned that fortunately there were no casualties, which made Feng Haijun feel a little relieved. He didn't notice the increasingly ugly expression on Inudo Ranko's face behind him.

"It's only a few days away from the Chinese New Year. Can't we wait a little longer? Those bastards are living a good life but are thinking about doing this kind of thing every day. It's disgusting."

Inudo Ranko spoke a little madly, then looked at the two police officers under her command with a bad face.

"If you two have nothing to do right now, go handle the police report made by that idol and assist the criminal department."

As soon as Inudo Ranko opened her mouth, it gave Fukai Junye a huge headache. Of course, he knew the content of the idol's report to the police.

She suspected that there was a stalker who followed her home and was watching her, but no matter how hard she looked, there was no evidence and the things she said did not exist at all.

Now the little idol has even reached the point where he has to live in a house where all the mirrors are covered with black cloth and can only sleep peacefully under the protection of the police.

But the police still found nothing. If the other party was not really mentally ill and they were somehow related, the police would have called it a day long ago.

"Well, I hope Xiao Mu won't be scared. After all, this matter is quite weird."

Fuukai Junye sighed. It was obvious that his colleague Kogure Soichiro was most afraid of this kind of supernatural events, but he was still transferred to this department that specifically deals with supernatural events.

"Then we'll set off first. You can take your time with your work, Inspector."

Feng Haichun didn't dare to stay any longer, fearing that more work would fall on his head soon.

"Christmas, Christmas, it's still Christmas. I hope today will pass peacefully."

Inudo Ranko didn't pay attention to Fuumi Jun's eyes, she just held a cigarette and muttered to herself.

-

"Kuro-senpai~ Today is Christmas, so a Kotoko tied with a ribbon is a good Christmas present, right?"

Kotoko Iwanaga was still talking sweetly to her boyfriend, and Kuro Sakuragawa felt that if he didn't say anything to refute her, there would most likely be a blonde girl covered in ribbons on her bed tonight.

"What...what does this feel like?"

Kuro Sakuragawa frowned. He rarely had such a creepy feeling, so he looked up to the window. Along with Iwanaga Kotoko's puzzled eyes, he seemed to see an explosion in the distance.

"Princess!!! This is so scary! A super scary guy has appeared!"

The spirit that came from nowhere crawled in in a funny way, looking extremely scared.

"what happened?"

Iwanaga Kotoko was a little unhappy about her sweet couple time being interrupted, but she still asked immediately.

"That golden guy... there was a super scary golden guy that blew up that very uncomfortable building. That explosion could really hurt us!"

The ghost revealed his wound. Although he died of a fire, when Sakuragawa Kuro saw the marks that looked like burns, he couldn't help but take deep breaths.

The red flames had gone out, but dark red ashes were still floating out. The burn marks on the ghost's body flickered with its breathing, as if it was waiting to burn again.

"You touched that flame, didn't you?"

Sakuragawa Kuro asked. The ghost who died in the fire was actually already a little frightened when he saw Sakuragawa Kuro, and he was even more frightened when he asked.

"Yes... yes, I didn't dodge the flames that flew out onto the open ground in time, so I got a little bit of it. I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

Kuro Sakuragawa could see that the ghost was now very weak and needed to rest, otherwise it might disappear into thin air in a short time.

"And... and I saw that golden guy from afar... so scary..."

The ghost, whose attention was attracted by the explosion and fire, saw from afar its fellow creature standing in the open space and flashing with golden light. It originally wanted to go over and ask something, but it didn't expect the other party to disappear in an instant, and it was also burned by the strange fire.

"The golden guy... is he some god who controls fire? But why at this time?"

Kotoko Iwanaga's brain started working at high speed, but no matter how she thought, she couldn't understand what was going on. Although she had no control over Tokyo, she shouldn't be completely ignorant of such a powerful guy, right?

"Never mind, this matter is too strange... We have no way out. Senior Jiulang, you want to go to the Christmas night tour tonight!"

Iwanaga Kotoko put these things aside for the time being, instructed the other ghosts and fairies to pay a little attention to such strange guys, and then continued to harass her boyfriend.

"Could it be him? But if it was that person, why would he become like this, and why would he do such a thing?"

Kuro Sakuragawa answered his girlfriend perfunctorily, all he had in his mind were these questions. However, he risked his brain to take a look at the true face of the high school student named Uesugi Sumika, so he had a rough guess, but this guess lacked too many necessary evidences.

"Go, but I have something to do now... See you in the evening, and don't go to get a room!"

Kuro Sakuragawa looked at his girlfriend with great annoyance. Although he did not hate such a relationship, Kotoko Iwanaga's fierce offensive did make him a little distressed.

—— —— Christmas Eve ——

"Hmm, I haven't felt this kind of atmosphere in a long time... Is there such a carnival in Shibuya?"

Uesugi Sumiko looks like an ordinary person standing in the crowd, but if you look closely you can find that his figure does not appear in the mirror at all.

398

Chapter 398: Fireworks Master Yukinoshita Yukino.

Shibuya, a magical place. Uesugi Sumiya has basically never been to this place. To be honest, it is impossible for him to come to this place normally. He goes to Ginza more often than to Shibuya, so he is completely unfamiliar with the terrain and conditions of this area.

"Is this Christmas Eve? Has everything gone this crazy?"

Uesugi Cheng was walking casually. To be honest, his outfit, which usually looked a little strange, was not very conspicuous at all at this moment. There were many people who were dressed stranger than him, such as the hot JK ​​girls on the street and all kinds of strange people in Cosplay costumes.

Huge billboards on the street were pushing advertisements. To be honest, this colorful and lively scene was rare. Uesugi Cheng even saw reporters who seemed to be conducting random interviews on the road.

"Posts one, two, three and four report the situation."

Uesugi Cheng adjusted the non-existent headphones, and his spiritual power turned into a message that was transmitted out. On a high building, several evil spirits in military uniforms were looking down at the streets below with scopes made of spiritual power. They occupied the best sniper positions. As long as Uesugi Cheng gave the order, they would silently fire the bullets made of spiritual power without hesitation, causing the target's soul to evaporate instantly.

Of course, when Uesugi Cheng did not give orders, their only role was to stand on the roof and act as sentinels.

"Nothing is wrong with number one. No abnormal spiritual energy flow has been detected."

The feedback from the sentry post soon reached Uesugi Cheng's ears. He had to say that he did have the illusion that he was working overtime during the holidays again, but this time he had to do it simply to see if he could lure out his potential enemy.

"I just destroyed one of your nodes. If you are in a hurry to make up for it, a living sacrifice is the best option. In this case, causing chaos is certainly a provocation to the whole of Japan, but according to their thinking, it is not impossible to do it... Forget it, let's eat first."

The body made of spiritual power cannot simulate the taste very well, so Shangshan Cheng can only order some heavy-tasting food to experience it. After all, his body is still sleeping at home...

He was holding his midnight snack and walking on the crowded street. It must be said that the flow of people was really terrifying. Such a small street was crowded with people. The police who were maintaining order looked like they were sweating profusely. Perhaps they had not expected that so many people would come here to celebrate Christmas Eve this year.

The soldier evil spirits recruited by Uesugi Cheng have regained their bodies made of spiritual power. Their only task today is to serve as sentinels and carefully check every possible hidden danger to lay a solid foundation for their only master to have a wonderful Christmas Eve. Therefore, the clothes they wear look very ordinary. These evil spirits from foreign countries simply dress themselves up as tourists joining the brigade, and have even been approached by many people.

"No abnormalities were found... Report, is killing someone considered abnormal?"

Suddenly, Uesugi Sumiya received a strange question. The murder scene was not an important matter to him. As long as it did not cause panic and did not affect the order, he did not care if some people died.

"Watch him. I'll take him down if I say so. Let me see what's going on first..."

As soon as Uesugi Sumire turned on his cell phone, he saw a call from Hikigaya Hachiman.

"The radio station started broadcasting a murder announcement... It said that on this special night, a gift would be given to all the people who were partying, so that everyone would remember his name."

"Is that so? Did he say it somewhere?"

"No, it would be strange if I told you that. But even though this trailer uses a disguised electronic sound, I can sense that the murderer is extremely excited right now."

"I see. Let me take a look... Then let's get rid of that guy while we're at it. It would be bad if it causes panic. I want to take a closer look."

Uesugi Cheng yawned, hung up the phone, sent an instruction, then sat on the bench, looked at the crowd next to him who had already started shouting Merry Christmas to the sky, and took a deep breath.

"I heard there will be a fireworks display..."

"You can see it in Shibuya? Don't lie to me! There's actually something like this in Shibuya?"

The office worker next to him said in disbelief that he had never thought that he would be able to see a fireworks show in Shibuya.

"I heard that it was made by a very good fireworks master... It will start in half an hour..."

Uesugi Cheng looked up at the moonlit sky. It seemed that the last time he saw a fireworks display was during summer vacation... No, it seemed that he didn't even participate in any fireworks displays during summer vacation.

Uesugi Cheng touched his head. It seemed that using the spirit state for a long time did have some impact on his memory. After finishing things over there, he would probably return to his body and have a good rest. He couldn't let his memory really have problems.

"Report, we have solved the problem of the human who wanted to kill people. How do we deal with him?"

"Leave it to the police. We are not heroes of justice. Leave the rest to the police. Call the police."
