A comic book, but a librarian

"Would you like to stay for a cup of tea? The old man wants to see you."
"No, just settle the payment for a while. I have other things to do now. Sorry."
Uesugi Sumire lifted the guitar bag on his back, and Matsumoto Sakura nodded as if she was relieved. She always felt it was difficult to chat with this mysterious person, Uesugi Sumire. There was no information related to him, and all her attempts to contact him felt like they were just official business.
"Okay, I hope we'll have a chance to meet again next time."
"I think it's better not to. After all, if this kind of thing happens frequently, it will be very troublesome for you."
Uesugi Sakura's words did make Matsumoto Sakura smile helplessly, but she still nodded.
"Thank you for your blessing and help. We will pay you back in full."
Uesugi Cheng just waved his hand. For him, this was probably just the right time to digest food after a meal. After all, he didn't always have the chance to use his weapon properly.
"The next time we go out, we may have to face the so-called 'gods'."
Uesugi Cheng's soft words turned into excited trembling. The guitar box could not suppress the excitement of its contents. It trembled with joy, looking as if it was expecting something.
"Okay, be quiet. Let's go back first. You must hide until you deliver the most fatal blow. You should understand what I mean. Before that, you must be hidden as a fatal blow."
The guitar box behind him immediately fell silent. Uesugi Cheng knew that his weapon was now full of expectations for his future responsibilities and the opponents he was about to face. The "destructive tendency" given by the Split Wolf was finally slowly transformed into "battle frenzy" in him. In other words, Uesugi Cheng finally took the power of the Apostle of Destruction into his own hands.
"The next thing is to find a weapon that can break through the defense of God. It won't be enough to just kill Him. We must have something that can weaken Him."
Uesugi Sumika looked a little out of place walking on the street. His clothes seemed a little too thin in front of the people around him. Snowflakes slowly fell on his head and melted away in an instant. No one knew what Uesugi Sumika was thinking. It was just that this boy walking on the street gave people a sense of... loneliness for no reason.
"If the bullet is made of orichalcum, then the warhead must be made of Gewei alloy. As an attachment technique, it will open the opponent's outer defense, shoot the bullet in, and then let the contents of the bullet take effect."
Uesugi Cheng was thinking, the model of the bullet in his hand kept changing. It was a model he simulated using refracted light. What kind of firearm to use, what shape the bullet should be made of, and how many rounds to make were all problems. Tai Sui seemed to have the power of super-speed regeneration, so he had to prepare bullets that could suppress the regeneration power.
"That's [Throat Blue] and [Noble Purple], the ink for burying the damned. I hope the formula given by those guys who worship the worm is indeed correct."
Uesugi Sumire returned to his home and first called the Metropolitan Police Department.
"Inspector Inudo, can you get me a gun?"
"? What happened? Who do you want to get? If you have evidence against me, I can do it for you. There's no need to bring a gun."
Inudo Ranko was shocked. She didn't know what had stimulated Uesugi Cheng to use hot weapons. She didn't dare to take the responsibility.
"No, I just want a suitable gun, preferably a larger caliber, and one with a sniper scope would be even better."
Inudo Ranko wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. She just thought that Uesugi Sumire was going to stage some revenge drama in broad daylight. If he wanted to kill someone, Inudo Ranko doubted that there was no one in Japan who could stop him.
"So what on earth are you trying to do...you don't even have a gun license?"
"It's okay, just asking if you can do it."
"I'll... give it a try. You don't have to hold out hope. After all, this sounds like it would stimulate your blood pressure a lot."
She doesn't need to know why Uesugi Cheng wants such a large-caliber gun. She only needs to know that Uesugi Cheng has no intention of using supernatural powers to kill people at the moment. Anyway, the next things will naturally be handled by the people above. Why should she worry about it here?
"Okay, just a casual question, don't take it too seriously."
Uesugi Cheng hung up the phone. Bullets need guns to be fired, and if the bullets are to exert their full power, a large-caliber gun is essential.
"If not, let's see what the gangs and self-made people can do."
Uesugi Cheng yawned and lay on the bed.
415
Chapter 415 Emergency.
Just when Uesugi Sumire was free again, Kawasaki Saki was facing an embarrassing problem. The part of the homework she was responsible for seemed a bit difficult, and if she wanted to achieve the highest accuracy, there was not enough time.
"It's broken. I don't know how they are doing over there. I hope they can finish the homework for other subjects."
Saki Kawasaki rubbed her brows and put down the pen in her hand. She had been working hard for a whole day, but it was just a drop in the bucket for her homework.
"Fortunately, except for Ajing, no teacher checked the winter vacation homework so seriously, otherwise there would be no solution at all."
'Good evening, the anonymous forum is peaceful today, they finally stopped talking on this day.'
Hikigaya Hachiman yawned. He had experienced many times when he was rushing to finish homework, so he could still find some time to check the forum. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no new popular posts.
'That's great. Let's exchange answers tomorrow. If that doesn't work, we can work together to finish the rest. We don't have much time left in the holiday.'
A few people chatted in the chat room for a while. The content was all meaningless, but everyone seemed to be enjoying it, and then went back to do their own things.
Uesugi Cheng put down his phone and looked at his unfinished homework without fear. Now he just wanted to have a good sleep. After all, the physical sleepiness and the comfort of sleeping made him unable to stop.
"I always feel like I forgot something. Never mind. Let's go to sleep first and read it after I wake up."
Cuddling in his bed, he closed his eyes.
A few hours later.
"Oh no, it turns out I didn't have dinner. I said I must have forgotten something."
Uesugi Cheng climbed out of the bed, touching his stomach. He didn't feel tired from waking up suddenly, but the feeling of an empty stomach was indeed uncomfortable.
"It's just past midnight. I should go out and find something to eat. They should have gone to bed."
Uesugi Cheng picked up his small bag, changed into going-out clothes and went downstairs.
There was still light snow in the sky, making it seem a bit cold. The dim street lights emitted a soft light. I have to say that the high housing prices in this area make sense, and the infrastructure is indeed quite good.
"I almost forgot that there seems to be no place to buy midnight snacks here. I have to walk further."
As Uesugi Sumire was walking, he realized that Himegami Sakura and Kishimogami seemed to have become addicted to reading comics and mystery novels again recently. They took the money given to them by Uesugi Sumire and used illusion to go to the bookstore and bought a lot of such books.
Uesugi Cheng is naturally happy to see the two little guys have their own hobbies. After all, he probably wouldn't be able to stand it if he was pestered by them every day.
"It's much better at night now. I rarely see those weird things hanging around in front of me."
Uesugi Cheng found a store that was still open on his phone and walked in.
I have to say that the shop owners who open shops late at night in Tokyo are indeed interesting. For example, he is now seeing the strange scene of spirits and humans sitting in the same shop.
"Boss, this and this, add more soup."
Uesugi Cheng ordered a meal at random, and then looked around this old shop which was at least twenty years old. Several spirits were sitting obediently in empty seats, and there was no sign of them eating. It seemed that they were just looking at the empty shop and then looking towards the kitchen.
Uesugi Cheng looked at the boss and the kitchen staff, and after confirming that he did not have any spiritual power, he suddenly became interested. What could make a spirit sit here and refuse to leave?
"Brother, come here, it's hot, eat it quickly."
The boss served the food very quickly. The noodles that Uesugi Cheng ordered were brought to him within a few minutes of him sitting down.
"Boss, have you ever encountered anything unusual?"
"Young man, you are joking. What do you mean by unusual things? I have been working here for 20 years. I have seen a lot of things and I am used to them."
The boss touched the table and looked a little sad.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, but I just miss my old customers. After all, I've known them for a long time, but suddenly one day they couldn't come anymore."
"Is that so? Then give me an extra portion of noodles and leave it there. I'll pay for it."
Uesugi Cheng pointed at the table where the spirits were sitting. Those spirits looked at Uesugi Cheng's finger with obvious disbelief, and they seemed to want to say something.
"Ah... OK, I'll get it done right away, right away..."
The boss was also a little stunned, as if he realized something, and immediately rushed back to the kitchen.
"No wonder it's been open for 20 years, the taste is really good. I've made a note of it. I'll come here next time I have nowhere to go at night."
Uesugi Cheng saved the address in his mobile phone, slowly picked up the noodles with chopsticks, tested them, and then put them into his mouth.
"Let's go after we finish eating. It's not a good idea to stay here."
Uesugi Cheng looked like he was talking to himself, and several spirits nodded, understanding what Uesugi Cheng meant. When the bowl of noodles was placed in front of them, several spirits looked like they wanted to pick up the chopsticks, but in the end their hands passed through the chopsticks.
"Give them a final ride."
"Thanks, little brother. I didn't know they were still thinking about you... I'll treat you to this."
The boss waved his hand generously and waived the bill for Uesugi Cheng.
"Then I will accept it with peace of mind."
Uesugi Cheng nodded, thinking that he had done a good thing today.
……
"Emergency, the Killing Stone is fluctuating... What the hell, I haven't even had a few days off for the New Year yet, how could this happen?"
Inudo Ranko got up cursing. The bright moonlight shone down from the sky. She really felt like she had seen a ghost these past few days. Not only was she having a life-and-death experience at work, but now she had to face the situation she least wanted to see. The power of the Killing Stone fluctuated.
"Forget it, it's time to find my little classmate. I don't know if he is willing to get involved in this matter."
Inudo Ranko finally made the call. If the Killing Stone really showed abnormal fluctuations, it would mean that someone was trying to contact the Killing Stone. If the other party was prepared, she would definitely not be able to solve the problem alone. Even if she risked her life to suppress the Killing Stone, she would not be able to deal with the possible mastermind behind the scenes.
"Uesugi-san, I have an idea about the gun you want, but do you have time to help me solve a troublesome matter that just happened? Whether I can solve it or not, I will do my best to help you get the gun."
Inudo Ranko said this without hesitation. Anyway, it was the higher-ups who would have the headache later, so all she needed to consider now was how to deal with the Killing Stone.
416
Chapter 416: Finalize the plan and dispatch urgently.
This was five minutes after Inudo Ranko made the call. She changed her clothes, put her phone in place, and clicked the video call button.
"Inspector Inudo, it's one in the morning now. I think you should know what everyone is doing at this time. So what urgent matter is there that you would notify me at this time? I guess you are the kind of person who doesn't work overtime unless it is necessary."
Uesugi Cheng was in a private room in an Internet cafe. Although he didn't mind being disturbed now, he didn't want to be woken up in the middle of the night one day.
"In fact, I really don't want to work overtime. If there was no problem with the Killing Stone, I would probably sleep until dawn and then think about how to spend today's holiday. But now it's not possible... The Killing Stone has abnormal fluctuations. I suspect someone tried to open it."
Inudo Ranko lit a cigarette, and the stimulation of nicotine made her a little more sober. She had already reported the news about the Killing Stone to the higher-ups, but she did not have any expectations for their reaction. After all, even if there was a problem with the Killing Stone, it would not affect a large area... unless someone fanned the flames.
But she couldn't produce any evidence to prove that the Killing Stone was awakened artificially, so she could only rely on her own strength to solve the problem before it broke out, because this was her duty.
"Open it? The Killing Stone? Is it the stone that some big monster turned into after death?"
Uesugi Cheng actually only had a vague understanding of the history of this land, but he could barely remember some things.
"Almost... The body and resentment of Tamamonomae after her death turned into stone. This is basically the same as the legend. However, the stone that everyone knows now is just a tourist attraction. The real Killing Stone turned into many fragments and fell all over the place. Most of them have been purified, and the rest that cannot be purified have been sealed up by us. The one I am in charge of is one of them."
Inudo Ranko looked at the moonlight outside the window with a hazy look in her eyes. She put out her cigarette. The scriptures buried near the Killing Stone and the warning measures set up were all triggered. She didn't know who the other party was, but the Killing Stone would most likely not be at peace.
"So someone wants to release that resentment? Is it strong?"
"To me, it's very powerful. After all, it's a great monster. Even after a thousand years of death, its corpse is still powerful. That's why I came to find help. Uesugi-san, I hope you can accompany me. I can deal with the Killing Stone by myself, but I probably can't do anything about the mastermind. As for what you want, I can give it to you in advance. Anyway, those bastards won't say anything."
"Thank you so much. Please give me some good guns so that it will be easier for me to modify them."
Uesugi Cheng nodded. He didn't expect that what he wanted could be so easy to get. He thought he had to go to the Dragon Ball Group or some other channel to get the gun.
"Uesugi, although I don't know what you are preparing or what you are going to do, I hope you can promise that this kind of thing will never be used on ordinary people... Although I think you won't need this kind of thing if you want to kill someone."
Inudo Ranko silently kept the matter of modifying the gun in mind, but she just kept it in mind. Anyway, she wouldn't say a word if her superiors didn't care.
"Don't worry, I'm just preparing for a war of my own... After all, I'm a newcomer, so I always have to say hello to them, right?"
Uesugi Cheng opened the computer in the Internet cafe and began to search for information related to the Killing Stone. Although the descriptions in the myths and legends were ninety-nine percent false, he had long been accustomed to filtering out the information he needed from them.
"I feel like you're becoming more and more troublesome. If possible, let's set off tomorrow. I'll prepare your reward now. I'll wait for you downstairs of your house at nine in the morning. I'll drive, and we'll go to the area where the Killing Stone is."
Uesugi Sumire didn't expect Inudo Ranko to be so anxious, but he didn't feel anything. Setting off tomorrow morning would only be to collect all the soul energy invested in the work.
After thinking about it for a while, Uesugi Cheng realized that the soul essence that was originally supposed to be used to do homework was more important than the homework that could be directly copied 100%, so he changed his strategy. Anyway, he could hire someone to do the homework, so he might as well do more things that only he could do.
"Then I'll wait for you to go out tomorrow. I'll go back and prepare first."
Uesugi Cheng hung up the phone and said he wanted to prepare, but in fact there was nothing to prepare. Since he didn't plan to bring the Apostle of Destruction, there weren't many weapons and equipment he could bring. A few scattered alchemical equipment and some ink and potions would be enough.
"I feel like I have to bring more and more things with me when I go out, Red Essence, Yellow Essence, Asumai, Throat Green... Forget it, I won't bring Azoth, I'm afraid that thing will melt the Killing Stone if it's out of control."
Uesugi Sumiko was still very interested in the Killing Stone. After all, it was very rare for a corpse to turn into stone among the immortals. Most of the corpses of the immortals were either recycled or completely destroyed.
"And prepare some special decrees using the Law of the Three. After all, she said she wanted to act in secret."
Uesugi Cheng simply started drawing talismans in the Internet cafe. He had already put together the things he needed to take with him in the Silent Bookstore, so he could just take them out all at once after returning home.
"Sakura, are you interested in monsters?"
"Tamamonomae? Is she the tall, beautiful big fox lady? She's been shown on TV."
Himegami Sakura thought about it and realized that her understanding of Tamamonomae basically came from TV.
"We may only see a big ugly fox. Do we want to fight it?"
