"Perhaps... the desire to survive exceeds the urging of instinct?"

Himegami Sakura's words made Uesugi Cheng stunned for a moment. He carefully thought about whether Himegami Sakura's words were possible, but it was obvious that the evil spirit seemed to have discovered that there were no so-called traps and defenses in the Gendang River family. It planned to go directly through the wall to find the man who looked very cowardly. He didn't look much better than Yotsuya Miko, and he would probably pee his pants if he was scared.

"Ha ha!!"

There was no obstruction, completely different from the girl just now. Looking at the sleeping Ying Duolang, the evil spirit showed a hideous smile again, and countless long hair entangled Ying Duolang's body.

"woo woo woo woo!!!!"

Ying Duolang, who was awakened by the layers of hair entangled, looked at the terrifying big face in horror. He never thought that he would encounter such a thing. The evil spirit that had been captured suddenly appeared on the ceiling of his house in the middle of the night and prepared to kill him. He had had many such nightmares, but when he actually encountered it, he was still so frightened that he couldn't even use any strength in his fingers.

"Yes, that's the expression... You are my prey."

I don’t know if it was because the evil spirit was too happy about the successful hunt, but he actually spoke slowly and fluently.

However, neither the evil spirit who could not wait to torture Ying Duolang nor Ying Duolang who was frightened to the point of fainting noticed that a wisp of mist was spreading in the corner of the room and had slowly wrapped around the evil spirit's long black hair that was like a rope.

"Sir, it seems the girl and her guardian have arrived. Should we still take action?"

Himegami Sakura originally planned to pull the evil spirit into the fog all at once and then give Yingdalang a hypnosis package, so that he would just think of it as a nightmare. However, for some reason, Baoyue Yexiao seemed to have reacted and arrived at the door of Huandenghe's house. He had even completed the negotiation with Yingdalang's mother and entered their house.

"Is Hotaru in danger?"

"No, to be honest, that girl seemed to have used some method to divert most of the attacks on Ying Duolang to other places. I don't know if it was a substitution or witchcraft..."

Himegami Sakura is not an innocent puppet of the same generation. Her learning ability may be much stronger than that of most ordinary people. At least as a mysterious puppet, she can stay in the library reading books all day long without being discovered by anyone.

"Is there such a weird thing?"

Uesugi Cheng thought about it. The IQ of this evil spirit seemed to be much higher than the average. Because of this, it was much more dangerous than ordinary evil spirits. If Baoyue Yexiao could easily deal with it, then he could just be a behind-the-scenes guardian and not show up. But if there was any mistake, he should honestly step forward to clean up the consequences. After all, it was he who decided to conduct the "evil spirit observation" and let it act instead of destroying it immediately.

"Yeah, but it looked like the girl was in complete control of the situation."

Himegami Sakura assessed the situation very calmly. The evil spirit, immersed in the joy of a successful hunt, was completely unaware that her attack seemed to have little effect on Ying Duolang, nor did she notice that Baoyue Yexiao was already preparing to break into the room and take it down.

"Let's watch the end before we leave. Come to think of it, I didn't know you could hide and use fog."

Uesugi Sumira's soul was hidden inside the puppet, and he looked like an ordinary vengeful spirit possessing the puppet. Normally, even if ordinary people could use their souls, they certainly couldn't stay away from it for too long or too far like him. However, Uesugi Sumira felt as if he had done this kind of thing countless times and was doing it with ease.

"I learned it after I woke up. I don't know how I learned it."

Himegami Sakura explained this.

Suddenly, a sound was heard from inside the house.

"night snack!"

That was the voice of Huandenghe Yingduolang.

Bao Yue Ye Xiao also miscalculated. She knew very well that for an evil spirit, the desire to survive was the primary motivation, and it was also one of her means to tame evil spirits. However, she did not expect that there would be an evil spirit that would have such a consciousness to survive at all costs. She held the puppet that sealed a part of the evil spirit, watched the remaining body flee frantically through the wall, and did not chase after it immediately.

"It's okay. Part of it is here. It can't get away."

Baoyue Yexiao was not in a hurry to chase the evil spirit. What was more important was to confirm the condition of Ying Duolang. After all, he had just been attacked by the evil spirit.

Just after she checked that Ying Duolang was fine, she heard the screams of the evil spirit, which were tragic, terrifying and even desperate. She had hardly ever heard an evil spirit make such desperate sounds. So she couldn't care less about Ying Duolang who was lying on the ground. She had to go out and find out what had happened. Maybe it had something to do with the 'god' who had kidnapped her mother.

Under the bright moonlight, Baoyue Yexiao returned to the street. A misty white fog had filled the air all around her. She sensed an extremely obscure and mysterious atmosphere. She raised her head, and the scene that the pair of skull pupils saw made her silent.

The evil spirit that was gradually dragged into the fog looked like it was struggling in its death throes. In front of the white fog that was so thick that nothing could be seen clearly, a gorgeous and elegant elf-like girl in a kimono raised the sleeves of her wide kimono to cover the lower half of her face. Her red eyes looked at her as if she was smiling.

Chapter 127: Sleepless Night.

Baoyue Yexiao did not feel scared, on the contrary, she even felt a little excited. When Ji Shenying stood opposite her and the mysterious, gorgeous inhuman being was "dealing with" the evil spirit that escaped from her hands, she suddenly had a premonition that perhaps only the "graduates" could compete with the other party.

But the next second, the moonlight became even brighter. This was not some mysterious expression. The moonlight inexplicably became brighter, and the pale moonlight accompanied by the cold air flowed between her and the mysterious girl.

"Good evening, and...goodbye."

The wooden clogs made a pleasant sound when they stepped on the ground, and Baoyue Yexiao became even more certain that the other party was not human at all. The fog gradually submerged the mysterious girl along with her footsteps, and with it came a more moist and even sticky air, and the fog became thicker.

"stop!"

Baoyue Yexiao knew that the evil spirits she brought with her were not enough to stop the girl, but at least she could get a few words out of her. Any extra information would increase her chances of winning when she became the enemy of the girl in the future.

However, to Baoyue Yexiao's disappointment, the other party simply ignored her words. A gust of strong wind made her unable to open her eyes. After the strong wind, the streets were clean and empty, and there was no fog. Only the moon was still hanging in the sky, coldly, and the moonlight was shining. If the coldness had not still lingered on the surface of her skin, Baoyue Yexiao would even have thought that it was just an illusion created by the evil spirit in order to escape.

"Sir, if we catch him, what should we do with him?"

Himegami Sakura looked at the small doll in her hands. Uesugi Sumire had not said a word since the beginning, as if she had something to do. She could only cover the doll in her hands with her hands, otherwise the girl named Baoyue Yexiao might find out something.

"You can deal with it... Come to think of it, you just happen to need nutrition... Bring it back and I'll deal with it."

Uesugi Cheng thought about it. He originally wanted to let his assistant destroy the evil spirit completely. But then he thought that as a 'newborn', Himegami Sakura had been with him for so long and he never gave her any 'supplements'. It didn't seem to be a good thing for the growth of a spirit like hers that was born out of faith and prayer. So Uesugi Cheng decided to practice some of the techniques in the book and use this evil spirit as a test subject to decompose it into harmless materials that would be beneficial to the growth of other spirits.

"I understand. I'll go back right away."

After Himegami Sakura said this, the doll fell limply into her arms. When she sensed again, Uesugi Sumiko's soul had long disappeared.

"Strange, why do I always feel like I've done this before..."

Uesugi Cheng simply returned to the Silent Bookstore and lay on the bed in the infirmary. The four color portraits of Si Chen on the wall looked particularly eerie under the storm tonight. The small pale doll on the table was trying to turn its eyes made of buttons, as if trying to see what its owner was doing.

"I've finished reading this book. So there's such a thing as a 'star dream'? But my [vision and perception] isn't enough to create that kind of dream..."

Putting down "The Mirror of Melanthe", Uesugi Cheng originally planned to think carefully about Ms. Melanthe's explanation and teachings on the art of vision and perception in the book tonight, but the news that Himegami Sakura accidentally brought back a "living" vengeful spirit made him suddenly want to try out some of his own little tricks in dealing with evil spirits. Because he used his strength too roughly, the residue produced when he ambushed and killed the evil spirit that lured others to jump off the building was completely useless.

And now, he is completely different from before and may be able to extract sufficiently pure materials that he wants from the evil spirits.

Himegami Sakura stuffed the evil spirit into a mirror according to Uesugi Cheng's instructions, and then left the mirror in the room named "Night Gallery" and left. She didn't like this room very much. When she was instructed by Uesugi Cheng to clean up here, the black velvet curtains that carried a strong sense of rejection and burial made her suffer.

Moreover, the treasures stored in that room, which should not exist in the world but were preserved because of their special significance, were also subtly rejecting her as an "outsider".

She preferred to go back to the reading room and find a book to pass the time, or go to the garden to take care of the flowers and plants. The Silent Bookstore was very large. Even the home of the daimyo's father in her story, the girl whose real name was Himegami Sakura, was not that big.

The heavy iron door clanged, sealing the evil spirit's desperate roar behind it. Ji Shenying didn't care how it would be treated. After all, she and these brainless guys were not following the same path. Following her master was the right path, and Ji Shenying knew it very well.

Many things happened that night, and everyone was busy with their own work. For the safety of her family, Yotsuya Miko took her own ghost dog to check the surrounding area; Baoyue Yexiao and Baoyue Eiko were taking care of the survivor, Gendengawa Hotaru, although he didn't seem to be hurt at all.

Uesugi Cheng put on earplugs and began to deal with the evil spirit in the desperate eyes. The "collections" next to the night shift desk cooperated and made sounds that sounded like laughter. They seemed to be very satisfied with the gifts sent by the new administrator.

[Night Shift] (Vermiology Workbench): Built by Tirza for her own ulterior motives. Maintained by the Suppression Bureau for even more ulterior motives. And now, it is only used for my ulterior motives.

The only thing they had in common was that, in this seemingly fateful night, none of them could get a good night's sleep.

The next day, when Yotsuya Miko woke up with her eyes squinted and listening to the sound of the alarm clock, she subconsciously glanced at her alarm clock, then let out a sharp cry and hurriedly rolled off the bed.

"What happened last night? Didn't you sleep well? Are you okay?"

Her mother's concerned voice reached Jianzi's ears, but she did not answer. After all, she couldn't say that she had gone on night patrol last night.

"Sister, you wouldn't..."

Her brother's subtle look made Yotsuya Miko feel a little ashamed and angry. She patted his head, picked up the breakfast on the table and ran out of the house.

As expected, she entered the classroom just before the bell rang.

128

Chapter 128 The price of dreams.

The bell rang, and the noisy voices in the classroom immediately quieted down. The first class in the morning was Shizuka Hiratsuka's class. They were not like Uesugi Cheng who had a "gold medal of immunity from death", and it would be very troublesome if they were caught breaking the rules.

Yotsuya Miko swallowed the bread in her mouth, said hello to her good friend Yurikawa Hana, and sat down.

Yotsuya Miko looked at what Shizuka Hiratsuka wrote on the blackboard seriously, and suddenly she felt as if she was in another world. Not long ago, she was frightened by various evil spirits because of her yin-yang eyes, and she couldn't stand up and even became incontinent. But just last night, she commanded her dog to repel an evil spirit.

Then she shifted her gaze from the blackboard to the person sitting in front of her, playing with the pen in her hand. Although she seemed to be listening to the class, a closer look revealed that she was most likely absent-minded.

"Jianzi, come and answer this question."

Hiratsuka Shizuka said casually and Yotsuya Miko came back to her senses. The question was not difficult, she had just reviewed it not long ago. But the problem was not here. Yotsuya Miko knew that Hiratsuka Shizuka probably found out that she was distracted, so she used this method to remind her.

"Capturing evil spirits... it's still a little hard to imagine."

Yotsuya Miko answered Hiratsuka Shizuka's question perfectly and sat down. Baoyue Yexiao's actions last night really opened her eyes. Compared to her, a novice who had only learned the basics of the art of silencing, Baoyue Yexiao could be said to be a veteran exorcist who had experienced many battles, if such a position really existed.

"sleepy……"

After Yotsuya Miko sat down, she was still drowsy, even though Hiratsuka Shizuka had just woken her up. She felt sleepy again and her eyelids were drooping. Finally, she fell asleep to the hypnotic tone of Hiratsuka Shizuka's voice.

The dream was warm and humid, just like...

Yotsuya Miko opened her eyes, and along with the pounding of her heart, she saw a dark space. Although her heartbeat in her ears was like thunder, she could not see anything.

As if because of her opening her eyes, the beating of her heart became more violent, from thunder to a faster, drum-like rhythm.

Then, as if someone was about to wake up, Yotsuya Miko suddenly realized something by intuition. She absolutely could not "see" certain things, otherwise something very bad would happen. She closed her eyes again.

Nothing happened, as if everything that just happened was an illusion, but she clearly felt that her body seemed to be entangled by something, and this feeling made her feel familiar.

“Wake up… wake up!!!”

Yurikawa Hana's voice suddenly reached her ears. In this obviously abnormal dream, the appearance of such normal things was the biggest abnormality. Yotsuya Miko closed her eyes tightly. Before she could confirm what was going on, she decided to follow her intuitive judgment. As long as she didn't open her eyes, certain things she felt would not happen.

"Jizi, wake up quickly, the get out of class is over! I still have to go to the cafeteria to grab the limited-edition bread. If you don't get up, I'll have to go alone!!"

Yurikawa Hana's voice sounded a little hurried, and it was at this time that Yotsuya Miko began to hear the sounds around her again, the sounds of classmates chatting and walking, the sound of the fan turning, and the most important sound.

"Oh, you're talking about this... Why are you so unlucky? Did you lose control again?"

Uesugi Sumiya's voice seemed to be slightly teasing, and she finally opened her eyes. Everything was no different from the usual classroom. To be honest, only the distressed Hikigaya Hachiman was discussing something with Uesugi Sumiya, and the latter was obviously in a very happy mood with a look of watching the fun.

"Hey! Jianzi! Why are you sleeping so soundly? I called you to come here now, you're going to be late for the cafeteria."

Yurikawaka's voice sounded a little aggrieved. Yotsuya Miko smiled and held Yurikawaka's hand, her smile very brightly.

"Okay, okay, let's run faster and make up for the time we wasted on me."

Yurikawaka once again helped her escape from danger. Although she couldn't tell her best friend about this, her gratitude to Yurikawaka could not be expressed in words.

"So... you're using the Night Walk technique indiscriminately, right?"

On the other side, Uesugi Sumire looked at Hikigaya Hachiman who was obviously very distressed and laughed, as if he had discovered the true use of Night Wandering. Hikigaya Hachiman had recently been using his spirit to travel around Tokyo at night, and had seen a lot of things. He also gradually sorted out his understanding and application of Night Wandering, but this completely careless use of power eventually brought him some trouble.

"No... How would I know that part of my spirit body has been captured?"

Hikigaya Hachiman complained, he patted his head, his sharp eyes were hidden behind dead fish eyes.

"'Ape Dreams', right?"

Uesugi Sumire repeated the name that Hikigaya Hachiman had just said. This is an urban legend that has been circulating on the Internet for a long time, and its specific source is no longer traceable.

It is said that someone first posted a message saying that he dreamed of a hellish subway car full of broken limbs and blood, and the people sitting in the front seemed to be unable to think.

The smell of blood in the carriage was so strong that the man wanted to vomit, so he wanted to stand up and see clearly where he was. However, before he stood up, he heard a sound.

"Next up is the life-and-death process. Let's go!"

A strange and sharp voice sounded, and two too short "people" wearing clown costumes and holding saws and meat cleavers stood at the front of the team. The person sitting at the front stood up like a puppet being controlled, walked between the two "people", and was dismembered into pieces of meat in front of him, and then he woke up.

He originally thought he was having a nightmare, but he returned to the same carriage the next day and saw the second person being dismembered in front of him. Only then did he realize how horrible the situation he was in was, so he posted online to ask questions and actively looked for ways to save himself.

"As a result, after the person before him died, he never posted again. It really has the flavor of an urban legend..."

Uesugi Cheng looked at the dark circles under Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes and the information he had just printed out about 'Sarume Dream'.

"But this matter... unexpectedly happened to you?"

"I will never use the Night Walk spell again..."

Hikigaya Hachiman had a blank expression on his face and was full of regret. He should have returned to his body directly when he felt the danger. Perhaps it was after that time at the underground station that his spirit was split and sharpened, and his thinking became more radical.

"It's okay. According to what's said online, you still have some time to investigate. I may not be able to solve this matter with you, so you have to be prepared."

Uesugi Cheng said so.

129

Chapter 129 Return to Kujo Hall.

"Let's put the Yuan Meng matter aside for now. How many people were left in front of you when you went in?"

"Five, right? One died, so there should be four people sitting in front of me..."

Hikigaya Hachiman touched his chin and began to recall what happened at that time, but it was obvious that he was quite dissatisfied with the environment inside the carriage, so much so that his expression looked a little ugly when he mentioned it.

"Then you still have at least four more chances to enter the dream, but this number is calculated based on the premise that the rules mentioned in the ghost story are completely established. My personal suggestion is... quickly cultivate enough strength to deal with spirits. Look at Yotsuya Miko, she is very good at dealing with spirits."

Uesugi Sumiko was not that anxious. According to what Hikigaya said, those nightmares did not appear in the victims' dreams every day. As if to weaken the target's spirit, these dreams would always appear in the victims' dreams when they thought the nightmare was over, as if to mock those who thought they had escaped from the clutches of the devil in a vicious way.
