A comic book, but a librarian

【Long-lasting Image】: Refine the existing; recall the remaining. (3 leads, 1 heart, 1 inspiration)

"It's like looking in a mirror at the beach. It's a weird feeling."

Uesugi Cheng didn't know how to describe his feelings in words. Perhaps this was the job of a master of rhetoric, but there was no doubt that he learned a lot from the book, even though he almost became confused while reading.

"Report, the Ys Bell has been cleaned up. The usable parts have been installed, and the damaged parts have been re-melted into mountain copper and other metals. Do we still need to stay here?"

This was the first sentence Uesugi Cheng heard when he opened his eyes. Hua Ling looked full of energy as she stood in front of him. The bottle in her hand was filled with red essence, and she seemed to be replenishing nutrients to her body.

"Forget it, Kyoto is a shabby place that is not suitable for us. We encounter strange things every day. Tokyo is better. Let's prepare to go back early."

Uesugi Cheng thought for a while, and the face of Abe Haruaki appeared in his mind again. He didn't want to be stared at by this guy every day, so he might as well return to Tokyo as soon as possible to live his life as a young master. Besides, after Tai Sui was defeated, he had nothing else he wanted to do here. Although Kyoto had nice scenery, there was nothing that could particularly interest him.

"Well, I'll go clean up first, Master, you can go to sleep."

Hua Ling obviously did not consider whether Uesugi Cheng could take a nap. After getting the reply, she happily walked back to the room where her real body was placed.

Just at this moment, Uesugi Cheng felt the bracelet on his wrist twitch, and he subconsciously looked at his wrist.

"Oh...you're finally waking up, aren't you? As long as you wake up, we can have a good talk."

Uesugi Sumiko looked at the bracelet that came from a mountain god, and remembered that he had used the [Blood of Anulio] as a sacrifice to exchange for Yotsuya Miko. He wondered if the mountain god would have any new changes after absorbing the [Blood of Anulio]. However, it seemed that it had finally woken up from a long slumber, and began to try to do something to seduce or find a destined person to see it.

"Jianzi should have felt it too. I don't know how she is doing now."

……

"Cough cough cough..."

Yotsuya Miko felt like her heart was about to explode, beating violently. She subconsciously clenched the things in her hands, trying not to look abnormal.

"Take a deep breath... breathe, don't be afraid. Once you show your emotions, the other person will know... The fate has been formed, and Acheng can't completely cut it off. I can't cause trouble for him, at least from my side."

Yotsuya Miko calmly raised her hands and went to the infirmary. Her condition did not require any disguise. Just showing her true condition in front of others was enough to convince them.

She lay on the hospital bed, gently covering her chest. She took out the light blue potion from Uesugi Cheng and drank it in one gulp. The noise in her ears and her own heartbeat gradually weakened. She slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep on the bed. [Solomon Preparation] could bring her enough peace and reduce her connection with the mountain god or the 'God of Bonding', helping her to hold on until Uesugi Cheng came back.

"Jianzi...Jianzi...are you okay?"

She vaguely heard someone asking her a question, but she didn't intend to speak, so she just nodded slightly. She could tell that it was her best friend Yurikawaka who was asking her. Her attitude towards this always optimistic best friend has always been to not involve her if possible, so she has slightly reduced communication with her recently.

"Well... I'll put the bread here. Remember to eat it. This is limited edition bread."

Yotsuya Miko opened her eyes slightly, and suddenly felt all the muscles in her body tensed for a moment. That was not Yurikawaka, or she was not in the real world at all, but in a dream. A huge eye was staring at her, and it looked extremely hungry. While making Yurikawaka's voice, it seemed to be trying to stuff something into Yotsuya Miko's body.

"Acheng, please come back soon... This thing really looks like it wants to eat me."

While silently praying in her heart, Yotsuya Miko immediately closed her eyes to allow the Solomon preparation to take effect and block out the sounds.

Chapter 488: Yotsuya Kenko empties his mind.

"Have you finished packing? You guys can take your stuff back first. I'll take the train back by myself."

Uesugi Cheng looked at the evil spirits who started to get busy again, turned to ask Himegami Sakura, Himegami Sakura nodded. In fact, this place was only used as a temporary workshop and there was nothing to clean up. These evil spirits were mostly removing the originally arranged defense measures and destroying the makeshift tools.

"He starts yelling as soon as he gets up... This guy is really a nuisance. Jianzi should be able to hold out until I get back with my arrangement."

Uesugi Cheng touched his forehead with a headache. The mountain god was not an outsider like Tai Sui Xingjun. It was a genuine local indigenous person. This also meant another thing. If Uesugi Cheng wanted to deal with it, he couldn't do it by force.

After all, unlike Tai Sui Xingjun, it really survives locally and holds the authority of the mountain god. If it uses its own power to fight back when it is dying, then Uesugi Cheng himself will definitely be fine. However, Uesugi Cheng cannot guarantee what changes will happen to the mountain and what will happen to the town built on the mountain.

"Tsk, I can't let it know that I'm going to get it... What a life."

He has already started to plan a solution to deal with the mountain god. This kind of guy who likes to nag everywhere and affect other people's normal lives should be dealt with as soon as possible. He originally thought that it would be more well-behaved after sleeping for so long, but he didn't expect that it would start harassing people related to it as soon as it woke up.

"I remember I still have their phone number... I hope they haven't moved out yet, otherwise it will be troublesome."

Uesugi Cheng remembered the little girl he met when he first entered the town, who ran out in the middle of the night to look for her sister. Fortunately, they left their phone numbers at that time, so at least if they want to go back to the town recently, they should be able to find a place to stay.

As he spoke, Uesugi Sumiko grabbed his bag. He had already bought the train ticket back to Tokyo. He was just waiting to go back and find Yotsuya Miko to see what was going on.

"Hey, Yukinoshita... you mean to say that Miko suddenly had a high fever? And now she's been sent to the hospital, right? Okay, I got it. I'm rushing back to Tokyo now. We can talk about other things after I get back."

After hanging up the phone, Uesugi Sumire went straight to the station. The mountain god really looked hungry and had begun to influence Yotsuya Miko regardless of the consequences.

……

“Hu…Hu…Jianzi, you have to hold on. This guy hasn’t found you at all.”

Yotsuya Miko curled up on the bed with her arms folded. She knew she was still in a dream and the mountain god had not found her at all, so he kept calling her over and over again. She was still safe now.

"But my body... is so hot... at this very moment."

The first moment Yotsuya Miko woke up, she saw her mother's face full of worry. Her eyes were emitting a faint golden light. It was indeed her mother, not an illusion or a disguise.

"Jianzi...are you okay? I was so scared. You suddenly had a high fever that wouldn't go away. The teacher was so scared that she sent you directly to the hospital."

Yotsuya Miko lay weakly on the bed, feeling her mother's hand stroking her forehead, and nodded reluctantly.

"Yeah, I'm fine... a little tired. It might be because of the recent flu and my carelessness. I'll be fine after a rest. Don't worry about me."

She forced a smile and looked at her mother's worried expression. She knew she couldn't reveal more, otherwise it would only make her mother more worried.

"Oh, it's okay. Mom has taken a day off to take care of you and get your fever down... You should have a good rest."

It was obvious that Yotsuya Miko herself had not expected that her mother would take a special leave to take care of her, but she could only nod and continue to close her eyes. She could not go back to sleep directly now, otherwise she might not be able to escape the tracking of the mountain god. Once she was tracked by it now, a lot of troublesome things might happen next. The opponent's strength was obviously too strong and a little abnormal.

Listening to her mother's voice gradually fading away, Yotsuya Miko forced herself to open her eyes, thankful that at least her cell phone was still with her. Looking at the infusion tube beside her that was gradually dripping with liquid, she slowly reached for her cell phone with her other hand and dialed the number.

"Hey, Acheng...it's me. You should feel it too, right?"

She found herself surprisingly calm. Although her body was still extremely weak, she spoke very logically, and even her thoughts were logical.

"Well, I can feel that the other party is indeed very anxious. Are you okay? Your relationship with it should be the deepest. Just like that little guy, you almost became a sacrifice."

"Don't mention that kind of thing now. I have a fever now... It seems to be getting stronger, but I should be able to hold on. What are you going to do?"

Yotsuya Miko said helplessly that if it weren't for the handicraft sent from somewhere that opened the source of everything, she wouldn't have been entangled by the mountain god.

"What can I do? Solve it. Last time I didn't have the ability to solve the problem and could only put it off. This time it's different."

Uesugi Sumire was sitting on the train, looking at the phone in his hand while chatting with Yotsuya Miko. It could be heard that although the other party's voice was very weak, her mental state was quite good, which was much better than the beginning when she was on the verge of mental collapse despite having no physical problems.

"Wait for me to find you first. Let's go back to that town again... We have to solve the problem completely this time. At least we have to let the mountain god know what his status is. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if there are supernatural incidents or murders every few days."

After saying this, Uesugi Sumire did not hang up the phone, but chatted with Yotsuya Miko in a casual manner to prevent her from falling asleep and to prevent any accidents.

……

"Huh, I have to admit that taking the train is a bit troublesome... How do you feel, Jianzi?"

Yotsuya Miko was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Uesugi Sumire would come so quickly. He arrived at the hospital in just a few hours. Then she turned around and saw a huge ball of light.

"Oh, my body is still on the train. I think it will take a while. So I came to check it out first."

Yotsuya Miko emptied her mind. Forget it. She had seen evil spirits before, such as out-of-body experiences. There was nothing to be surprised about at a class reunion.

Chapter 489 [Aglafortis Flower Candle]

Of course, no matter how many times Yotsuya Miko looked at it, she could not get used to the big ball of light around her. To be honest, she still wanted to see Uesugi Sumire as a human being appear in front of her. After all, the light in the field of vision of these eyes was too dazzling, making her uncomfortable.

"Um, Acheng...can you lower the brightness a bit? My eyes are not used to it..."

Finally she asked, and when Uesugi Cheng heard that, the brightness of his soul gradually dimmed, and it looked more like the floating spirits she usually saw.

"Oh, I forgot, your eyes...how are they now? Are they still getting stronger?"

Uesugi Sumire couldn't give a very good evaluation of Yotsuya Miko's eyes. He had never seen such a thing that could automatically become stronger. The power of the eyes could become stronger while lying down to sleep. If this happened in the world of Noon, it would probably be envied to death by a group of people.

"Well, although I can barely suppress it now, I don't know when I will start to see everything again."

Yotsuya Miko nodded, and her feverish body seemed to finally begin to calm down. The mountain god seemed to gradually stop calling, perhaps he had set his sights on other people, or maybe he was simply waiting for an opportunity, but in any case she was finally able to catch her breath.

In fact, Yotsuya Miko could only barely suppress the power of her eyes. Once she relaxed a little, the scene before her eyes would be like a scene of chaos and disorder. As long as she left the school, there would be floating spirits wandering around everywhere, and even monsters transformed from ancient resentment wandering on the streets. She felt that it would be really difficult for her to survive with those uncontrollable eyes.

"You should wear glasses later. By the way... I'll bring you something later. Your temperature has finally come down. Once you are more stable, we will go out and solve the problem."

Uesugi Sumiko looked at the thermometer in her hand, the high fever finally subsided. Yotsuya Miko has always been in very good health, the sudden high fever was just because her body was affected by the power of the mountain god. As a scholar of silence technique, Yotsuya Miko is no longer a weak person, but she is still bound by the shackles of the flesh. At least she is not like Uesugi Sumiko who can ignore the power of "fate".

"Well, I'm still on IV drip... It's so expensive. If I had known, I would have held on a little longer."

Yotsuya Miko looked at the needle in her hand with some melancholy. Although her family conditions were not very poor, she still felt a little sad when she saw the liquid being injected into her body. If she had covered it up a little better, she wouldn't have to do such a thing.

"I'm here, just lie down for a while."

Uesugi Sumire's voice rang out and then disappeared, and Yotsuya Miko looked over and he was no longer there, so she slowly propped herself up and sat up. Her mother should have gone to have dinner, so it would be okay for Uesugi Sumire to come over now. Although she felt that it wouldn't be a problem even if she was bumped into by her mother, after all, it was just a classmate who came to visit.

"Huh, I wonder what Cheng will bring this time... He always comes up with weird things."

Yotsuya Miko silently looked at the needle on the back of her hand and smelled a pleasant odor.

"Ah, this time it's a candle. If you light it, the smell can serve as protection with the help of a special ritual. The raw materials can provide powerful protection in many troublesome situations, and if it is made into a candle, it can also achieve considerable results."

Uesugi Cheng was holding a beautiful thick pink candle in her hand. The smell coming out of it made her feel fresh, and even diluted the unique smell of disinfectant in the hospital.

[Aglaofortis Flower Candle]: A candle with the scent of Aglaofortis flowers. (2 leads, 2 lights, 2 enlightenments, 2 hearts)

"That's all for tonight. I'll bring another candle tomorrow, and then we can get ready to go... By the way, have you read the information I gave you last time?"

Uesugi Sumire's sudden question made Yotsuya Miko tense up instantly, as if she was having her homework checked by the teacher.

"Well, I can barely grasp some of it. The rest is too vague. Only [Snow White's Story] and [The Secret of the Plague] are pretty good."

Yotsuya Miko answered truthfully. Although that "Shirayuki" did not exist in this world, she had learned a certain amount about the use of this mysterious power. At least she could instantly create an illusion of overwhelming snow for those floating spirits.

"That's good. Next, I will teach you something more suitable for combat. At least I want you to improve your physical fitness."

Uesugi Sumire adjusted the teaching plan. At least now Yotsuya Miko needs more combat power. Even if it is enough to deal with evil spirits, she will always encounter some situations that cannot be solved by spiritual power and require manual labor.

"Hey, do you still need to learn?"

Yotsuya Miko's eyes widened. She suddenly felt her shoulders and eyelids become heavy again. She wanted to lie back in her little bed to escape from her stupid responsibilities.

"Yeah, you have to be able to protect yourself, right? Not to mention fighting a few people alone, you have to at least be able to escape."

Uesugi Sumire has already decided to teach [Sharpness] to Yotsuya Miko, and the training method will be the same as that of Kawasaki Saki. By the way, he can also let the two of them practice against each other.

"ok, I get it."

Yotsuya Miko nodded, looking as if she had given up struggling.

"Then I'll put the candle here for you. Just make sure it doesn't go out."

Uesugi Cheng placed the lit candle in the corner of the ward, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Acheng..."

"what happened?"

"It's okay, good night."

Yotsuya Miko started laughing, and she suddenly felt at ease. She didn't know if it was because of the smell of the candle or something else, but she was suddenly not so nervous anymore. Even if it was the mountain god, she didn't think there would be any problem. After all, Lord Yomi was there to help them.

"OK, good night."

Uesugi Sumiko nodded and disappeared outside the ward in an instant. Yotsuya Miko looked at the moonlight outside the window, and when she heard someone approaching the ward, she immediately lay back down.

……

"The last book, "Three and Three", I hope to finish reading it as soon as possible..."

Uesugi Cheng took out the last version of the book Three and Three. His [No-Invasion Edict] was almost reaching the highest level. When facing the mountain god, this great technique might come in handy, so he now had to work overtime to finish reading the book.

Chapter 490.

"You mean to say... that thing from last year has started to pop up again, and you're going back again?"

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at the news in front of him and spoke to Uesugi Sumire on the other end of the phone with some distress. He had helped Uesugi Sumire and Yotsuya Miko cover up last year, when the two of them ran to that small town with an unknown name.

"Well, it's very troublesome. Jianzi still has some problems, so I have to go back again."

"Okay, I can already see Ah Jing's blushing face. No, she has already let it go. You have your own way out and she probably won't care too much about it. Come on."

Hikigaya Hachiman originally thought that Hiratsuka Shizuka would be furious about this, but then he thought that Uesugi Sumire was not on the same path as them, and maybe Hiratsuka Shizuka would just say "I know" very naturally and end it, so he could only end the conversation with "Come on".

"By the way, don't continue the action for now. Take a break first. I have to make new plans. Kyoto is full of old guys, and they are all thousand-year-old foxes. I didn't feel anything before. In this case, we have to be more careful here. God knows what else is in Tokyo."
