A comic book, but a librarian

"Ahem... It's okay, I'm back..."

Ji Shenying and Hua Ling looked back in surprise at the same time, and couldn't help laughing.

"Stop laughing, come and help me... I'm so unlucky."

Uesugi Cheng appeared at the edge of the fog with a bruised face and nose.

"I shouldn't have done this if I had known. You gave me the manufacturing method but I won't use it. What kind of person is this..."

Amid Uesugi Cheng's muttering, the battle with Tai Sui Xingjun came to an end.

482

Chapter 482: Agreement reached.

"Overall, Tai Sui Xingjun gained a lot from this fight. At least he did have an equal exchange with me."

Uesugi Cheng sighed and lay on the hospital bed. The bruises on his face not only hurt slightly, but also emitted a kind of heat that prevented him from recovering quickly through various methods.

In fact, until entering the space where Tai Sui was, Uesugi Cheng's situation was still relatively dangerous, but after he really started communicating with Tai Sui, the situation improved a lot.

They reached a relatively balanced agreement. To put it simply, Tai Sui Xingjun, who was extradited by Abe Haruaki, could obtain a certain degree of "freedom" through certain means.

Of course, this freedom does not include returning to the other side of the ocean to confront his true self. After all, the real Tai Sui Star Lord is very busy on the opposite continent.

There is also a method of restoring strength.

"Why did you agree to this? Then why should I ring the bell?"

Uesugi Cheng said with a smile, Tai Sui Xingjun, who was sitting on the chair opposite, clenched his fists, and finally suddenly laughed.

"You're right. I won't humiliate myself if I'm not as skilled as the other person. But I still have a question. What on earth is that? I've never seen... this kind of weapon before."

Countless "talismans" were floating behind Tai Sui Xing Jun. He just looked at the "person" in front of him. The other party's soul did not belong to this land. This was something Tai Sui Xing Jun understood the first second Uesugi Cheng stepped into this space. Since this person was not a wild monkey from the island country who had tricked him here, he had to show the corresponding bearing and courtesy. After all, he was also the spirit of a righteous god, and the other party's power seemed to be more or less related to the gods. No matter what, he could not lose the momentum of the name of Tai Sui Xing Jun in vain.

He also thought a lot about it. Since the other party didn't seem to be determined to fight him to the end and the conditions were very sincere, he had no reason not to agree.

"But we agreed that one day, we will decide the winner again. By then... I'm afraid it will be a fight to the death. The spirit that tried to betray me, and you, will both be on my list."

Tai Sui Star Lord said it without hesitation. He didn't care whether the other party would care about it or not.

"Sure. By then, the bells will be more powerful and there will be more of them. I will also be stronger. There will be no problem for us to fight again."

Uesugi Cheng put the happy Apostle of Destruction back into the scabbard. Although the Apostle of Destruction still looked a little unsatisfied, it finally obeyed its master's arrangement.

"Then let's sign the contract and witness it with blood."

Tai Sui Star God spoke.

"One last question, why do you want to help me? This condition is obviously more beneficial to me, isn't it?"

"More friends mean more paths. Besides... who knows if I will come to you for help in the future, right? By the way, I'm not that Kamishiro family. I will never bother you if I have nothing to do."

Uesugi Cheng smiled nonchalantly, and blood spurted out to sign the contract.

"I hereby establish this contract, please bear witness..."

Uesugi Cheng had forgotten one thing despite all his calculations: his request to be a witness would only point to one person.

Under the somewhat surprised gaze of Tai Sui Star Lord, a hot and energetic force entangled the contract. Even though he had seen a lot over the past thousands of years, he had no impression of the source of this force, but its powerful destructiveness demonstrated the strength of the user behind it.

Then Uesugi Cheng's face, which had just breathed a sigh of relief, twisted.

"I won't take care of your family affairs...please go back."

Tai Sui Xingjun turned his head very directly, and with a finger of his left hand, he drew a small door and sent Shang Shancheng out of the different space where he was. He didn't want to look at this kind of shitty thing at all. Who knows which great god he might offend if he looked at it too much. When he was on the other side of the ocean, he knew a truth, which was "Don't look at what you shouldn't look at."

……

"No, you've given me the manufacturing method, but you won't let me use it. You might as well not give it to me."

Uesugi Cheng rubbed his face and muttered helplessly. Of course, he was only muttering. Although Foundry was very prudent, if he was really heard by him, Uesugi Cheng felt that he might really get beaten up again, and it would be for nothing.

"Master, we have successfully recovered four of the five bells, and the other one is completely scrapped..."

Hua Ling was reporting the situation conscientiously like a secretary. Uesugi Cheng looked speechlessly at the five Ys bells he had worked so hard to make. He could only sigh that the time was too tight and his skills were still not up to par.

He made five bells, but one broke down when they were finally started. One of the remaining four couldn't function properly at all. The yield rate of only 60% was too low. If the power of his soul had not been great enough, he doubted whether the bells could achieve the desired effect and allow him to successfully meet with Tai Sui.

"Anyway, that guy named Qingming over there, the matter is over, aren't you going to withdraw?"

Abe Haruaki sighed helplessly. His original intention was to get back the Twelve Gods and then release the real names of the [Front Ghost] and [Back Ghost] [Tsukuyomi] and [Amaterasu] that he had inhabited Hotaru, so as to connect a large formation to prevent anyone from hindering the battle between Baoyue Yexiao and Taisui Xingjun's spirit, and also to prevent them from taking advantage of the situation.

As a result, the core of the Twelve Generals basically fell into the hands of Uesugi Cheng's assistants, and none of them were easy to deal with. Among the three little guys, the one he knew best was the Kishimogoddess, but this Kishimogoddess didn't bother to fight him at all. She punched the ground and cracked it, and then asked him if he wanted to steal something, which directly shut him up.

"Alas, indeed, the matter has come to an end here. Qingming has nothing else to do but to withdraw first. However, what happened tonight can only be regarded as a beginning... For those who are still alive, there are still many things to do next."

In the end, Abe Haruaki could only blame himself for his bad luck. He thought that the Twelve Gods had to be compensated. As a dead man, he had no ability to use them, so he might as well hand them over to this mysterious powerful man.

"I'll give these things back to you. I don't need them..."

Uesugi Cheng threw the core of the Twelve Generals back speechlessly. He didn't know how to use the shikigami at all. They were not as useful as fake bodies, and their strength was not as good as that of his assistants.

"..."

Abe Haruaki rubbed his brows, and his mental preparation was directly shattered.

"Tsk, I should go to the hospital to see a doctor. If you are fine, you can rest in peace."

Uesugi Cheng touched his face, and finally found some gauze and bandages for emergency use, and then walked to the hospital with the support of Himegami Sakura.

Abe Haruaki looked at Uesugi Sumire's back helplessly, and began to think about what he, a dead man who "should have died long ago", should do next.

483

Chapter 483 [Grunewald Clause Incident]

"Not a small harvest, right? What are your plans next?"

Uesugi Cheng was peeling the fruit slowly and leisurely. He was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, looking like a young high school student who had been in a fight with someone and was sent to the hospital. Opposite him, Baoyue Yexiao was holding a doll of the newly captured Taisui Fenling. In fact, except for Uesugi Cheng who looked like he had been beaten, the other people on Baoyue Yexiao's side did not have any serious external injuries. Most of them were disinfected with alcohol and wrapped with bandages.

"Let's go back first. Everyone has been injured and needs time to recover."

Baoyue Yexiao looked a little sleepy. This battle had indeed consumed almost all the means she could currently use. She had also consumed a lot of energy in the past few days. She was already beginning to feel drowsy. Seeing this, Uesugi Cheng did not continue to ask questions, but looked at the sky outside the window.

Although Tai Sui's spirit almost used its power to forcibly disperse the storm and lightning released from the swaddling thunder, the dark clouds were still hovering in the sky, and finally slowly brought down rain to cleanse everything for this battle that had already ended, after everyone was sent to Kyoto Central Hospital.

"Even the hospital bills have been covered by someone else. What a good life it is... I don't have to pay any extra money."

Uesugi Cheng yawned and began to think about what he would do next in Kyoto. After all, he came out on the pretext of collecting folk songs, and it would be embarrassing if he returned without anything.

"Forget it, I'll just paint another picture. I'll ask Ying and the others to help me mix the paints. I'll just paint a smaller picture this time."

Uesugi Cheng finally made a very preliminary decision. As for what to do next, that would be something he would think about after the sun rises tomorrow morning. What he had to do now was to rest first, as the energy consumption of using the Ys Bell was much higher than he had imagined.

……

"The tea in the bookstore is still good for health..."

Tea made from blue crown flowers tastes best only after it has been cooled. This is a fact that has been proven by generation after generation since blue crown flowers were planted in Silent Bookstore.

Uesugi Cheng felt that the pain on his face had finally subsided a little, and he slowly relaxed his breathing. This action was still a bit too confident. The behavior of the Daytime Forge also showed that He was not completely opposed to Uesugi Cheng using the Ys Bell, but the premise was that it was "done perfectly".

As long as no one knows, it will be considered as a violation of the rules. Uesugi Cheng suddenly laughed twice again. He did not expect that he would return to such primitive rules of action.

"Knock, knock, knock... Is there anyone there?"

Uesugi Cheng was sitting on the rocking chair that he had customized from a carpenter in the village. When he heard someone knocking on the door of the bookstore, he stood up helplessly. The door of the Silence Bookstore was designed with a very simple technique, which would alert the manager of the bookstore when someone knocked on the door, no matter where he was.

"Why do you visitors like to come at night? If you want to consult about the Medusa, then you are late, my friend. She has entered true rest. Maybe one day she will return to this world with a new look, but not now."

Uesugi Cheng yawned, not caring about the bandage on his face, and just casually opened the door of the bookstore and spoke to the visitor in front of him.

"No, sir, it's me... Douglas Moore, an unknown detective. I came here this time for another matter. I have heard a little about the matter you mentioned, but it is really not something I can interfere with, and it is not even something I should know about."

The fat detective Douglas looked a little panicked. He really didn't think he was the one who should hear such a secret, especially when the administrator in front of him looked really angry.

"Oh, Douglas, come in. Is there something that requires you to come to the bookstore at night? Doesn't the Sweet Bones in the village provide accommodation services?"

"Actually... I'm here for the circus assets we seized in Grunewald. We sealed them up before, and now those idiots are trying to unseal them... Please pretend you didn't hear what I just said."

Douglas was very helpless.

"In order to unblock those things, I have to carefully study the corresponding protection measures. But those idiots were very active when they were shouting about unblocking, but when it came to the protection measures, they were like dumb people, so I could only think of turning to Silent Bookstore for help..."

[Grunewald Clause Incident]: After the disbanding of Grunewald's permanent circus, its assets were handled by the Suppression Bureau. During a rare financial crisis of the Suppression Bureau, the "Grunewald Clause" approved the sale of the circus's assets for cash, bypassing the normal checks on its dream dangers. In hindsight, this may have been a mistake. (Visitors interested in the secrets of the Code [Heart] and [Winter] will be willing to comment on this matter or seek help.)

"Circus stuff... It's hard for me to imagine what kind of collections the circus you're talking about would have. Of course, it's even harder for me to imagine what these collections are related to. But since you need this kind of book, let's just follow the old rules."

Douglas nodded excitedly. If Silent Bookstore couldn't provide any help, he might have to rely on his own body and his pitifully shallow knowledge to fight against the circus's remaining assets that were filled with mysterious and malicious intent. He might even die. After all, that circus was too evil.

"If you have any intention of selling antiques, you can also ask me. I might also be interested in buying them."

Uesugi Cheng handed a book to Douglas, gave him the key to the servant's room, and asked him to find a bed in the servant's room for the night.

"Well... OK, I will send you a list of the items that the Suppression Bureau is interested in selling. Don't worry."

Douglas patted his chest and guaranteed it.

"so be it."

Uesugi Sumiko returned to his room. The visitor's arrival brought new events, news and opportunities, but Uesugi Sumiko did not plan to go out this time. The Medusa incident had left a deep impression on him.

"Tomorrow we will start our official Kyoto tour... Let's go to bed early."

Uesugi Cheng closed his eyes.

484

Chapter 484: The follow-up to the Kamishiro family.

"Good morning, but it looks like someone is more eager to see you than I am."

The hospital gown on Uesugi Cheng and the luxurious breakfast in front of him seemed to be on completely different channels. He sat on the chair very casually, looking as if he was really on vacation. However, after Tai Sui Xingjun was subdued by Bao Yue Ye Xiao, the mentality of the remaining few people gradually changed in this direction. Although the danger was still lurking, at least now they could feel a little more at ease.

"Hey, is there someone eager to see us?"

Hotarou and Kamishiro Ai who had just arrived were as confused as each other. Baoyue Yexiao silently patted the doll in his arms, while Baoyue Eiko had already put her hands in her pockets, as if she was preparing something.

A group of tall men wearing black suits and sunglasses, looking like professional bodyguards, surrounded them.

"Hinato Kawai, Hozuki Yexiao, Hozuki Eiko, and... Lord Uesugi, the current head of the Kamishiro family, Mr. Sogen wants to see you, please come with me."

The leading bodyguard grabbed Kamishiro Ai's hand without saying a word and held it behind her back. He didn't give the impression that Kamishiro Ai was actually a member of the Kamishiro family at all. It was more like he was treating her as some kind of consumable.

"Oh, you're using honorifics here. It seems that the Kamishiro family is not as ungrateful as the rumors say. Also, let's release the person first. It's not a good way to treat guests to rush them over without having breakfast in the morning, right?"

Uesugi Cheng took his breakfast slowly and leisurely.

When Baoyue Yexiao heard what Uesugi Cheng said, he found that the other party's momentum was inexplicably suppressed by Uesugi Cheng, so he simply sat down on the chair and started to eat the breakfast provided by the hospital cafeteria.

"…Your Excellency's teaching is correct, but please set off as soon as possible. Master Zong Xuan doesn't like to wait for long."

The man in a suit who was leading the group finally let go of Kamishiro Ai. The group of men in black suits just watched the five people slowly finishing their breakfast around the table. The whole scene was so quiet that the only sound was the sound of the five people swallowing their food.

"want……"

While eating, Yingdalang observed his surroundings, as if he was looking for a way to break the impasse.

"No need. Why don't we go meet the so-called Kamishiro family? Isn't their greatest support already in Xiao Yexiao's hands?"

Uesugi Cheng had a calm face. They were the ones with the bigger fists now, and the Kamishiro family was the weak one. However, they actually dared to come out so brazenly to "invite" people. Uesugi Cheng could only say that his idea was absolutely correct. No matter what family it was, there would always be some idiots who couldn't see the situation clearly and were used to being high and mighty, and had completely lost their clear understanding of themselves.

So just like that, under the protection or custody of a large number of bodyguards, the five people went to the Kamishiro family together. It must be said that the Kamishiro family is worthy of being a family that has done tasks such as the Thousand Year Curse for those big shots, and the living environment is very grand.

"You little bastard! How dare you snatch Master Tai Sui away! Take Master Tai Sui back to me!"

However, the people he met were not as good as the environment. Uesugi Cheng looked at the three people standing opposite him speechlessly. The maid lowered her head and dared not speak. The middle-aged man standing shoulder to shoulder with the maid also looked like he didn't want to intervene. Only the old guy who looked like he was dying and still had a cigar in his mouth was shouting, as if he was the master of Tai Sui.

As these words were uttered, a group of bodyguards surrounded the men without a word and rushed towards them, apparently trying to subdue them and take Tai Sui away.

"No, there's really nothing new about it. I thought there would be something new. Isn't this too cliché?"

Uesugi Cheng knocked down two bodyguards easily. The posture of these unarmed guys rushing forward looked very intimidating, but it was just intimidating. He even felt that several bodyguards simply followed his movements and fell down pretending to be dead.

However, Uesugi Sumiya had no intention of wasting time. The next second, before anyone could react, he rushed to the old man who was giving orders and punched him into a sleep.

"He is Kamishiro Sogen? Then there is nothing he wants to say. I will leave first."

Uesugi Cheng was very satisfied with his handling of the situation. He was ready to leave and make a phone call to ask if there were any other interesting attractions in Kyoto.

"Yes, I am the deputy head of the Kamishiro family, Kamishiro Reijiro. I invited you all here this time because I want to make everything clear."
