A comic book, but a librarian

"Okay, okay, I will definitely win."

Himegami Sakura laughed happily, one of her eyes turned completely into a dark abyss. She herself did not realize that her strength seemed to have long exceeded the range of normal growth.

"Then let's set out in the morning and see what the stone is like. If possible, we can just get rid of it. After all, I'm still waiting for my reward to be in my hands."

Uesugi Cheng touched the ink that had not yet dried and tapped it lightly.

The ink disappeared on the table, and then a strange feeling appeared in this small private room, as if even if the door was opened, it was impossible to leave the room.

"The power of the Three Laws is indeed useful... After I finish learning the [No Invasion Pardon], I will probably be able to officially start."

Chapter 417: A guy with abnormal brain circuits.

"Good morning, have you eaten?"

When Uesugi Sumire went out, Inudo Ranko was already downstairs tapping the steering wheel with a cigarette in her mouth. Although she still looked indifferent, the speed at which she tapped the steering wheel revealed her inner anxiety.

"Is the fluctuation of the Killing Stone really that obvious? I don't even feel anything."

Uesugi Cheng asked casually, but his perception had never covered that area, so he was just lying.

"Because the spell I set up was triggered. This is my personal tag. If I hadn't done something to the Killing Stone, it wouldn't have been triggered. But precisely because of the need for concealment, this spell is only a one-time one, and the long-lasting spell has been completely destroyed. The other party is obviously well prepared."

Inudo Ranko watched as Uesugi Sumire got into the car and stepped on the accelerator, then pointed to the trunk.

"Just don't take out the things you want. I've got some accessories for you. You can go back and debug them slowly."

A box was quietly placed in the trunk. Uesugi Cheng nodded, not paying attention to the gun, but turned around and asked.

"You said it would happen, but now it has happened."

"I think it's better not to... If something goes wrong, it will be very troublesome, because that thing was made thousands of years ago. No one except the people at that time knows what will happen if it breaks the seal."

Inudo Ranko frowned. She didn't want to mention this kind of thing because it meant endless overtime and danger to her life.

"It's hard to say, because I've seen some not-so-good news. The local media seems to be a bit too fast. But the police have done a good job in cutting off the news channels."

Uesugi Cheng looked at the post about a sudden death in a high school in D County, which was marked as weird and mysterious and was posted half an hour ago, and smiled at Inudo Ranko.

Inudo Ranko was speechless. She could only pray that the matter was smaller than she imagined.

……

"The detectives are already here, shouldn't we go say hello?"

Uesugi Cheng looked at the school that had been cordoned off and the policemen busy standing at the door, and asked.

“The local police don’t even know about this department and won’t let us in.”

Inudo Ranko was very calm and seemed to have already started preparing to find another way to get into school.

"Don't think about it. Instead of wasting time, how about we just walk in?"

Uesugi Sumire casually put on his bag and opened the car door with a swagger. His action made Inudo Ranko stunned for a moment, and then she immediately followed.

As expected, all the detectives and staff on the road ignored them, as if they did not exist at all. Inudo Ranko silently watched the dark and solemn expressions of the police along the way, and then looked at Uesugi Sumire who seemed to be here for a picnic, and once again understood the power of this high school student. It was not difficult for her to do such a thing. The difficult thing was that Uesugi Sumire let her enjoy the same effect without doing anything to her.

"Tsk, what a miserable death. All the blood in his body was drained out. He looked like a mummy... Did Tamamonomae like to drink blood? It's a very strange taste."

Uesugi Cheng looked at the information in the forensic doctor's hand and spoke. He had seen many mummies. After all, there were some strange sects and creatures in the noon world who liked to bleed. However, it was relatively rare to absorb the vitality after bleeding in such a short period of time. After all, it was a real "meal".

"The Killing Stone has indeed been destroyed... The evil spirit suppressed inside is no longer there, Uesugi-san, I'm in big trouble now."

"You didn't take me with you. That's fine. What do you think an evil spirit will do after it sees the light of day?"

"I don't know. I have dealt with evil spirits before, but most of them have no intelligence at all. They just act according to their obsessions and instincts. Even if there are a few evil spirits with high IQs, I have never understood how they think. What will they do?"

"I don't know that either, but I know... we have to seal off the scene first."

One talisman after another floated up silently, passed through the open window in the classroom, and flew to the forest behind.

The invisible walls unfolded instantly, using talismans as nodes to form a huge cage.

"They shouldn't be heading to the back hill, I'll have to cover it up a bit."

Uesugi Cheng thought about it and decided to find someone to ask.

"What's the situation? Any clues?"

Uesugi Cheng asked the person at the scene, but the other person just looked back at him, then looked away and continued to work.

"It's not optimistic. God knows what happened here, but there are no signs of anyone other than the deceased. We don't even have a clue how the wounds were formed."

"What is the focus of the next investigation?"

"Ah, probably they will search the school first, and then ask relevant personnel. Wait, why are you asking..."

The staff member was stunned for a moment, then as if he hadn't seen anything, he lowered his head and went back to his work. Uesugi Sumiko snapped his fingers and turned to look at Inudo Ranko.

"Okay, let's go and check out the first scene. They won't be going to the back mountain in the short term."

Inudo Ranko nodded silently. She really didn't see clearly what Uesugi Sumiko was doing. There was not even any fluctuation of spiritual power. He just simply let one person tell all the information.

……

"Tsk, it looks like the method is really good. The marks on this stone are indeed not very obvious."

Uesugi Cheng surrounded the big stone wrapped with ropes. There were indeed traces of seals on it, and the means of breaking the seals were extremely precise. But what he couldn't understand was that the other party seemed to have only broken the seal and did not do anything to the sealed things, so the vengeful spirit of the fox attacked the students so recklessly.

"A thief opened the lock but did not touch anything in the house. What do you think the thief wanted?"

"Did you verify the way you unlocked the door? I will contact other areas immediately."

Inudo Ranko took out her cell phone and immediately started making a call.

"It's better to be prepared. Let's do both."

Uesugi Cheng looked thoughtfully at the bunch of white flowers under the stone. The other party didn't even do anything to destroy the scene.

"This is a bit of a headache. People with abnormal brain circuits are the hardest to guess."

Chapter 418: Different investigation directions.

"No matter what his brain circuit is, our problem now is where the fox went. It killed a student right after it came out. I don't dare to think about what it will do if we give it more time."

Inudo Ranko took out a cigarette and lit it. She already felt the suffocating pressure.

"I have to say that although there are situations I couldn't imagine everywhere, the fox still left some traces. Look at this."

Uesugi Cheng pointed at the stone. Although the flow of spiritual energy had been disrupted, traces could still be vaguely seen. After the fox broke free from the seal, it rushed directly towards the teaching building.

"I am more curious about what would make a female student appear in the school during the holidays, especially just a few days after the New Year? What would make her come back at this time and become a victim?"

Inudo Ranko sighed. The time and place of the victim's appearance were too abnormal, which made her suspicious.

"Don't ask. All the people are dead. We can't even communicate with spirits. We should investigate more. But it seems that the fox is still quite well behaved. At least it hasn't done anything big like indiscriminate attacks."

Uesugi Sumire smiled and the invisible wall gradually disappeared. Since there were no clues they wanted here, there was no need to stop the local police's investigation. Maybe they would find some clues from a professional perspective that neither Inudo Ranko nor Uesugi Sumire had discovered.

Inudo Ranko sighed. The second situation she didn't want to see still happened. Apart from the situation she didn't want to see the most, where the seal of the Killing Stone was broken and the remaining spirit of Tamamonomae went on a rampage, what she didn't want to see the most was what was happening now, where the remaining spirit broke the seal, killed someone and then disappeared, lurking in the dark waiting to recuperate.

……

"Why are we dispatched? This should be considered a local matter, right? Why did the headquarters call us over to assist in the investigation?"

Both Kazeumi Jun'ya and Kogure Soichiro were very confused by the sudden order. It was clearly a holiday, and the case did not happen in the local jurisdiction, so why did they have to be pulled over to assist in the investigation?

"Senior, we still can't get in touch with Inspector Inudo. It looks like we have no choice but to go there first."

Soichiro Kogure held the phone in embarrassment. He never expected that his boss would simply not answer the call.

"It just so happens that the police officer in charge of the investigation this time is still that old man. It's so troublesome."

Feng Haijun was also scratching his head in distress. The person in charge at the scene was an old detective who didn't like people like him who were in the so-called "professional group", so he could guess what would happen next with his toes.

"Let's go first and take a look at the scene first."

So two people from the Police History Compilation Office got in the car and prepared to go to the crime scene.

……

"This person in charge is no good. He has been investigating for such a long time and now he is planning to close the case as suicide. Isn't that a bit too abstract?"

Inudo Ranko and Uesugi Sumire both looked at the self-centered look of the middle-aged man with slightly gray hair, and sighed with some dismay. There was indeed nothing wrong with the other party's handling of the scene, but looking at this scene and the corpse, isn't it too direct to define it as suicide?

"Maybe he doesn't want to get into trouble, or maybe he finds it too unbelievable so he simply doesn't want to get in touch with it."

Inudo Ranko sighed. She could understand this person's thoughts. After all, seeing that scene and the corpse, no matter what kind of detective it was, it would be difficult for them to think that this was an ordinary criminal case. Maybe a few more unknown policemen would come to the temple today to pray.

"Forget about it. Let's go. If the fox demon or fox fairy doesn't leave any traces, then it is most likely possessed by someone. I will set a trap first. If it comes back, it will be much easier for us."

Inudo Ranko pulled away, and Uesugi Sumire sat on a chair in the library, looking at the police outside the window who were busy coming and going and ignoring him, and suddenly found it funny.

I had clearly made all the preparations and thought I could have a good fight, but in the end I didn't even see a hair of the opponent.

"Security, teachers, staff, where will you be possessed?"

Uesugi Cheng was tossing the copper coin, and then he picked up one of his old skills and started to do divination.

However, after the coin fell, it landed on the reverse side, and all of Uesugi Cheng's guesses were rejected.

"So that's... students? More than one person came back?"

Uesugi Cheng smiled. This time the coin landed on the front side, confirming his guess. That was even more interesting. Instead of going home to rest during the New Year holiday, he ran back to school. Did he like studying so much?

"It seems like there are a lot of interesting things in this small school. But couldn't the people who planned it seal Tamamonomae in a more remote place? Why did they have to seal it so close?"

Just as he was daydreaming like this, Uesugi Sumiko saw Fumi Jun'ya and Kogure Soichiro, and what made him even more surprised was that it was obvious that the other party had also seen him.

"!!"

Feng Haijun was also stunned for a moment. He wanted to say something, but then seemed to have thought of something and grabbed Kogure Soichiro who was about to speak.

"Why are you two here? This place is not under the jurisdiction of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

"I'm also curious, why are you here, Uesugi-san?"

Fuukai Jun did not answer Uesugi Sumira's question. After all, the overtime temperament of the two of them could not be stopped, and Uesugi Sumira was probably just teasing them.

"Aren't we all here for the same thing? How are your investigations going?"

"Hey, Uesugi-san, how did you know..."

Soichiro Kogure spoke in confusion, and Fuukai Jun just patted his forehead and smiled.

"We don't have any clues. We are now investigating the relationship of the victim, but as you can probably see, this case will most likely be defined as suicide. Speaking of which, I was a little confused, but if Uesugi-san appears here, then everything will make sense. There is something wrong with the stone in the back mountain, right?"

"Killing Stone, don't you know? Now I'm going to trouble you to find the mysterious person who entered the school with the dead person. After all, the answer should be with him."

Uesugi Cheng stretched out his hand and the two policemen shook hands with him.

"We understand. Leave it to us from now on."

Jun'ya Fuukai and Soichiro Kogure instantly understood what they had to do.

419

Chapter 419: Sit back and wait.

Of course, what Jun'ya Fuukai and Soichiro Kogure are going to do next will definitely conflict with the person in charge of this case. As for how serious the conflict will be, that is unknown.

"Hey, lend me your subordinates. They are running around like headless flies now, so why not help me do something? Have you arranged everything?"

"It's all arranged. I'm going back to the Ghost Crying Temple to borrow the sacred tool against Tamamonomae. During this time, I'll trouble you to help me monitor this place. I'll be back soon."

Inudo Ranko also did not intend to leave the task of destroying the remaining spirit of Tamamonomae to Uesugi Sumire alone. After the initial investigation was completed, it was just the right time to summon the sacred tool.

Her original plan was to use her life to delay until the arrival of the divine tool and then seal Tamamonomae back. Now that there is someone in charge, Uesugi Cheng, who is obviously stronger than her, she can go back with the divine tool and kill Tamamonomae, and there is no need for the already old abbot to take the risk and come again.

Uesugi Sumiko had no objection. He came here today just to look for a fight. What's more, Inudo Ranko's reward had already been paid in advance, so there was no need for him to say anything else. He just had to set up this position and wait for the remaining spirit of Tamamonomae to come back and deal with it.

Thinking of this, Uesugi Sumire found a room that no one would enter, and first took out the big box from the trunk of Inudo Ranko's car.

A brand new sniper rifle appeared in front of Uesugi Cheng. He didn't know the model of the gun and couldn't tell its code name, but when he touched the gun, he already knew how to debug, maintain and use it.

"The barrel needs to be modified slightly, but fortunately I can still make bullets of this caliber, it's just a little more troublesome."

The fruits of modern technology are sometimes not much weaker in power than great techniques. After all, if you ask Uesugi Cheng to make a gun from scratch alone, he thinks it would take more time than making a few more bullets according to the caliber of the guns on site.
