A comic book, but a librarian

Chapter 219: The cursed book and Uesugi Sumire who stayed at the Baoyue family's house.

Bao Yue Ye Xiao focused her attention and activated her spiritual vision. She found that the spirit following Kamishiro Ai was indeed there. One of them was standing next to her in a suit, but she didn't notice that there was another one...

“Oh, this is interesting.”

In the seemingly empty corner next to Uesugi Sumire, a spirit with a snow-white body except for its black pupils seemed to be looking at Uesugi Sumire curiously, as if it was looking at a fellow spirit. It waved at Uesugi Sumire as if to say hello.

Baoyue Yexiao did not look back. After thinking carefully, she decided to use the spirit summoning technique to lock the spirit beside Kamishiro Ai inside the doll. If possible, she could also try out some of the techniques that Uesugi Cheng had just taught her.

"You look completely different from them. You should be able to see me. Tsk... am I mistaken?"

He was still looking at Uesugi Sumikawa who had no reaction, and suddenly he felt a little disappointed. The male human opposite him was obviously not ordinary, but he couldn't see him, which made him feel very bored. He might as well look at his "bride" more.

Of course, it’s not that Uesugi Sumiya can’t see him, it’s just that his attention is not on the real world at the moment. In the Silent Bookstore in the noon world, something happened that caught him even more off guard.

"What the hell... How can these people be so immoral and even put curses in the book?"

Uesugi Cheng covered his forehead and kept cursing as he looked at the "Refutation of Vitruvius" in front of him. There was nothing wrong with the book itself, but some bastard had added some tricks to it, and Uesugi Cheng, who was completely caught off guard, unfortunately fell into this trap.

[Fifth Eye Curse]: Someone has maliciously cast a curse that will forcibly tear open the Soul Eye. [This spell will taint your spirit body and consciousness. If you provide at least 7 Hearts, you can remove it through a skill that is effective against the curse.]

(In particular, the fifth curse is not contagious.)

A small hole was torn in Uesugi Sumiya's consciousness. After the light poured into this soul, his vision was covered by the light. He felt dizzy and couldn't see clearly.

[Clearance: Obsession] The higher I rise, the more I see (1 light) (Cure requires: 5 honey)

Of course, the diseased soul is not incurable, and Uesugi Cheng does not even plan to cure it in time. Because after being infected by the curse, although this consciousness has almost lost its previous strength, it is no longer tired. To be precise, although the curse weakened the power of the soul, it could not cause any irreversible damage to the soul, and even allowed Uesugi Cheng to gain a strength that would not tire.

This is certainly a good thing. It would be even better for Uesugi Cheng if he didn't feel the severe pain in his soul. In order to avoid looking like someone with a sudden illness who needed to be sent back to the hospital immediately in front of Baoyue's house, Uesugi Cheng decided to go back to the Silent Bookstore to rest for a while the moment he was infected with the curse of the fifth eye.

After drinking the water brought by Himegami Sakura, Uesugi Cheng reluctantly turned over from the bed. He could only put aside the treatment of the soul infected by the curse for the time being, and wait until he had adapted to the pain caused by the curse before using it. Now, what he had to do was to return...

"Um, sir...what should we do with this book?"

Himegami Sakura was holding a book with a snow-white cover, looking a little at a loss. Uesugi Cheng took a look and sighed, thinking that the previous bookstore manager, Van Lauren, was sometimes really too carefree.

[Divine Chill Overflow]: This book has received the attention of a certain icy Named One, or even the Void God. [This divine overflow poisons your grief and health, and also spreads to nearby objects. If you provide at least 7 Hearts, you can remove it through a skill that is effective against divine overflow.]

The bone-chilling coldness clung to the book "Nin's Cage" (Bruges illustrated edition). What's even more darkly humorous is that the great knowledge contained in this book is exactly the skill to deal with the negative impact caused by this overflow of divinity.

Uesugi Cheng thought for a long time and finally decided to let Himegami Sakura put the book aside for the time being. Although his fragile body would not die from the overflow of the divine cold flow, there was no need for him to endure such suffering.

When he returned to the real world, Uesugi Cheng saw Baoyue Yexiao putting a rope around the neck of a doll and putting it into a basin full of water. It seemed that he was performing some primitive ritual.

"Brother Uesugi, are you okay? I saw you were just in a daze just now."

Baoyue Yexiao asked with concern, and Yingduolang beside him nodded, but he didn't say it out loud. Just now, Uesugi Cheng obviously showed symptoms similar to soul separation. Although he concealed it very well, Yingduolang could only say that he had such a guess.

"Caught!"

Before Bao Yue Ye Xiao could make any further inquiries, she noticed that the water in the basin began to shake, and it was obvious that a spirit had stepped into her trap.

"In this case, it's over!"

Baoyue Yexiao's method of capturing spirits was indeed very effective. Uesugi Cheng also felt that there was indeed a spirit caught inside the doll. However, since he had not yet fully adapted to the tearing sensation brought by the curse of the fifth eye, his perception at this moment was like that of a nearsighted person. He could see, but could not see clearly.

"Sorry, I may need to borrow your room to rest for a while..."

Uesugi Cheng covered his eyes, Baoyue Yexiao was stunned for a moment, and looked at Baoyue Eiko.

"Are you okay? Do you need us to take you to the hospital?"

Baoyue Yongzi was also shocked by Uesugi Cheng's sudden change and wanted to send him to the hospital.

"It's okay... Just rest for a while. It might be a bit troublesome for you to let me rest here for a while."

Uesugi Cheng nodded. It would be best to give him a closed space to deal with the matter. Anyway, his injuries were not physical injuries that could be detected in the hospital.

Kamishiro Ai also cast a concerned look. Although she didn't know who Uesugi Sumire was, she could feel that the person who was so cared for by her little girl senior and teacher must not be an ordinary person. Maybe she was also troubled by evil spirits like her.

In this way, Uesugi Cheng was sent to one of the unused rooms in the Baoyue family to rest for a while, and Kamishiro Ai was sent back to her own home. If there were no accidents, Kamishiro Ai's problem should be solved...

-

"Hina Doran! Do you know where Ai lives? She's in danger!"

Late at night, Baoyue Yexiao called Huandeng River Hotaru Doro. She pulled out a hair from Kamishiro Ai before she left as material for making a surrogate doll, but she didn't expect to use it that night.

After making the call, Baoyue Yexiao hurried out of the house with the doll, and even forgot about Uesugi Cheng who was lying in her house.

Chapter 220 The first confrontation with Tai Sui.

Uesugi Sumiko didn't sleep very well. In fact, his sleep quality had been quite good recently. Ever since he finished drawing "Hell Transformation", he felt as refreshed as if the shackles on his body had been removed. Even his sleep became much more comfortable. Even when he was sleeping in the Silent Bookstore, he was not affected by the faint sounds.

But today was different. The sudden curse of the fifth eye did cause him some trouble, at least it actually affected his sleep quality.

"In the end, I ended up lying down to rest in someone else's house. I'm really embarrassed."

Uesugi Cheng scratched his hair and climbed up from the unfamiliar bed. From the layout of the room, it could be seen that this was probably the guest room of the Baoyue family. Even the bedding seemed to have been taken out just now, and there was a slight smell of mothballs in the closet.

"What the hell is going on?"

Uesugi Cheng was stunned for a moment. He heard the sound of Baoyue Yexiao going out, but he was still half asleep at that time, and he had no intention of following her. After all, Baoyue Yexiao could handle the danger caused by evil spirits very well by herself. But the remaining noises after she left made Uesugi Cheng a little confused.

So he walked out of the guest room and came to the source of the sound, the door of the small room where Baoyue Yexiao stored the evil spirits she captured.

Uesugi Cheng finally heard clearly that something was shaking in the room. Logically speaking, this shaking sound should not last so long. After all, no matter how powerful an ordinary evil spirit is, it cannot withstand so long if it is besieged. So it is obvious that Baoyue Yexiao must have caught something extraordinary.

"Forget it... Let's just take a look at her. After all, Miss Yongzi seems to be still here, and we can't let her be in danger here..."

Uesugi Sumire saw Houyue Eiko driving away through the window of the corridor and was stunned for a moment.

"So you trust me? You'll leave me, a stranger, in your house?"

Uesugi Cheng shook his head helplessly and opened the door.

"puff!"

A handful of red liquid splashed on Uesugi Cheng's face, clothes, and the walls of the room. Uesugi Cheng looked expressionlessly at the center of the room. The Christmas reindeer doll that Baoyue Yexiao used to capture evil spirits that afternoon had died gloriously. Its head was twisted off roughly, and the cotton inside splattered all over the floor with the warm blood.

"Ha, you can actually see me, that's really interesting."

Right above the doll, there was a floating head with white hair and a white face, except for the eyes which were pitch black. He showed an excited smile and looked at the expressionless Uesugi Sumika.

"Did you do this?"

Uesugi Cheng's words were emotionless, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

"That's right. No matter how much garbage you collect, it's still just garbage. Even if you use it as a tool to relieve stress, it's not enough. But you...what on earth are you? Why can't I, a god, see through you?"

The white 'god' revealed himself, seemingly curious about Uesugi Cheng's true appearance.

"Although I don't know who you are, that girl is my target. But if your target is not her, how about we become friends?"

He smiled happily. Compared to these harmless garbage, the unknown was indeed more interesting.

As he said this, another doll's head was torn off, and the splattered blood spilled onto Uesugi Cheng's body.

"Tsk, since you want to make friends, I'll give you a gift."

Uesugi Cheng spoke, and as expected, it aroused His interest.

"I see, you are really interesting. What do you want to give me? Hurry up, I am really looking forward to it. By the way, I am 'Tai Sui', please tell me your name."

"Just a worthless scholar."

Uesugi Cheng threw out a book, and Tai Sui caught it without thinking. Then in an instant, the book fell to the floor and was collected by the gray mist.

"You guy!!"

Tai Sui's words were tinged with shame and anger for the first time. He looked at the cold air with divine power spreading along the arm of his clone. It was obvious that there was a curse on the book that he could not understand, and the other party was obviously related to God.

"Tsk, this is a return gift to you, an idiot..."

Uesugi Cheng spat. He was very angry. After all, not only his clothes would be ruined because of the bloodstain, but he was also covered in blood. Especially now that his soul was damaged by the curse, he finally found a place to vent his anger.

At this moment, Baoyue Yexiao, who was still solving the evil spirit problem in Kamishiro Ai's apartment, frowned. The light of the moon suddenly lit up inexplicably, and the light reflected by the mirror seemed to have a subtle feeling.

"So it looks like... you want to be my enemy?"

There was no response to Tai Sui's question, or rather, no response itself was a kind of response. Several dolls in the room suddenly exploded, but this time the person who did it was Uesugi Cheng. The window of the room became like a lens at some point, refracting the moonlight onto Tai Sui's clone.

"Good dreams to you, don't oversleep."

Uesugi Cheng blew a breath into his palm, and the expression of Tai Sui opposite him instantly became confused. Then his clone slowly began to dissolve under the light, until it was almost transparent, and then he woke up as if from a dream.

"Ha...ha...good trick! Who the hell are you? You really are worthy of being a collectible."

A ferocious smile appeared on Tai Sui's lips. He had never experienced this wonderful feeling of almost drowning in a dream. The guy opposite him was not as harmless as his human body looked. That was why he felt happy.

"Tsk, I didn't send you away all at once. It seems like I have really regressed."

Uesugi Cheng's mouth moved. It was a language that Tai Sui had never heard before, but it did have an effect.

"Is that so? That's great. You want to be my enemy..."

Tai Sui's body condensed again like a solid entity. He was indeed very interested, not only in Uesugi Cheng's identity, but also in the means and power that he had never experienced before.

"I don't know what happened this afternoon, but you are really annoying..."

Uesugi Cheng wiped the blood off his face, looked at Tai Sui in front of him, and prepared for the next round of attack.

"Uesugi!!! Are you okay?!"

At this moment, a sound came from downstairs. Hotarou, bringing Kamishiro Ai, and Baoyue Yexiao who was holding a doll, ran to the second floor and just happened to see this bloody scene.

"Oh, my bride... is here. Thank you so much for protecting Aiyi."

A mocking smile appeared on Tai Sui's lips, as if he had already secured victory.

"I told you, if you don't take your opponent seriously, you'll suffer a great loss."

Blood suddenly burst out of Tai Sui's head and sprayed all over the ceiling. Uesugi Cheng moved his neck and smiled.

Chapter 221: Expel Tai Sui.

Ancient Trauma

Although the damage it can cause is small, it is convenient and concealed. Uesugi Sumiko has actually forgotten a lot of the attack spells related to the Immortal of the Lamp, so he chose spells that are more in line with his own ideas.

"Hahaha, compared to those small fry, you are more interesting than an unknown guy. Why do you want to mix with them? You are obviously not a human."

The wounds on Tai Sui's body were healing quickly, and Uesugi Cheng just looked at him silently without moving.

"Or do you think that you can fight me with this group of humans who can't do anything and the small evil spirits here?"

Baoyue Yexiao was about to speak when she heard the sound of something breaking. Then she looked at Tai Sui's hands in surprise as they were neatly broken at the wrists. Although they began to grow again immediately, his anger did not seem fake at all.

"Ah, it looks like an attack. You don't think the cold air on the book is from air conditioning or something like that, do you?"

Uesugi Cheng yawned. He was now covered in sticky blood and just wanted to find a place to take a good bath and then go back to sleep. As for this Tai Sui, he remembered having made enemies with the immortals many times, and it was not clear that anyone could do anything to him.

In the alien space belonging to Tai Sui, he watched the spreading cold air attacking his body like poison, and fiercely bit the flesh of the woman with only the upper body hanging behind him.

He had never encountered this kind of strange curse, so he was tricked without paying attention. But now was not the time to think about these things. This strange cold air carried the concept of death that even he did not want to be entangled with. He had to start dealing with these things immediately and prevent it from affecting more bodies.

"If you are a god, you should be over 500 years old now, right?"

Baoyue Yexiao's sudden words made Uesugi Cheng and Tai Sui a little confused. Why did he mention age at this time?

"An old fellow who is over 20 years old actually wants to marry a girl who is less than years old. He even made an engagement when the girl was very young. I don't think I will lose to a loli-obsessed god!"

Uesugi Cheng's brain short-circuited for a moment. He looked at Tai Sui, and then at Kamishiro Ai who had fallen to the ground unconscious.

"You guys know how to play a little bit..."

Uesugi Cheng wiped the sweat off his forehead. Although he knew that there was a big place called the Red Church in Mansu, even those old guys would not just find a baby and start a marriage contract.

"Ha...ha...Although I don't think flat-chested girls are worth collecting, never mind. Come on, I'll wait for you...But by then, you will definitely be the one to be collected..."

Before Tai Sui finished speaking, light flashed before his eyes again, forcing his body in the real world back into his own alien dimension.

"Asshole asshole asshole!!!"

He furiously pulled the blood-red intestines of the female spirit behind him, and only gradually calmed down after listening to her screams.
