A comic book, but a librarian

"Very good, I'll wait for you to come... Make sure I have a good time..."

Tai Sui seemed to be gritting his teeth when he said this, but when he thought that the other party would definitely appear in front of him and make his boring time more fun, he couldn't help but laugh, especially when he thought about the guy who used the human male body and made him extremely angry would appear.

-

"Ah... my clothes... if I go out now, people will think I'm a murderer..."

Uesugi Cheng looked at his clothes in distress. They were splashed all over with the blood of evil spirits by that damn Tai Sui. Even his hair and face were stained with blood. This was the main reason why he was angry. As for Tai Sui's provocation and threats, he didn't take them seriously at all. There were too many such threats in his memory fragments.

"No... Is it okay? That was a god just now..."

All the courage that Huandenghe Hotaru mustered disappeared after Taisui was forcibly expelled by Uesugi Cheng. He sat on the ground looking very spineless, as if he was afraid.

"It's okay. What can I say about Tai Sui... at least the spirit he gave me now is not that strong."

Uesugi Cheng's casual words made Baoyue Yexiao a little dazed. Although it was true that the guy just now did not show very strong power, she still did not expect Uesugi Cheng's casual comment. After all, facing a god, although her speech just now was full of energy and was still mocking the other party, if the other party really did not abide by the ethics of martial arts, she felt that she might die directly in this house.

"And I gave him a little gift. If it were in the past, I would have used all my tricks... There are so many ways to kill a guy who has no guard at all."

Uesugi Cheng sighed. The curse only affected the fifth eye. The Divine Cold Flow estimated that it would at most injure him a little. If he hadn't given him a few ancient wounds as a parting gift when sending him away, he would have felt that it was a big loss.

Baoyue Yexiao was stunned for a moment by Uesugi Cheng's "bold words". It's not that she had never thought about killing gods. After all, if she wanted to save her mother, she had to kill that guy called Kongwang. But she could never say something like Uesugi Cheng said so casually that there are many ways to kill Tai Sui.

"Oh, sorry, I may have to stay in your house for a while, at least until someone sends new clothes. I really can't go out like this. Can I use the bathroom? I need to take a bath."

Uesugi Cheng continued to sigh, his thirst for power being reactivated. He had just appeased his desire for a few days, but this unlucky Tai Sui showed up.

Baoyue Yexiao nodded. The doll in her hand and the other dolls in the room were so well behaved that it seemed as if they were afraid that they would be taken away to vent their anger if they moved.

Uesugi Sumiko nodded and thanked him, then said hello to Houyue Eiko, found the bathroom of Houyue's house, and prepared to take a bath.

"I still have to use the small account... Otherwise, it would be a loss to use the big account to make enemies with others. After all, this is the only body here."

Uesugi Cheng sighed, thinking that the peaceful days had lasted too long and had worn down his guard.

After Uesugi Cheng left, the dolls in Baoyue Yexiao's room suddenly became restless, as if they had survived a disaster. She looked around at the surviving evil spirits and quietly reminded Yingduolang.

"It's coming, Hotaru."

"Eh?"

Ying Duolang was a little confused, and then he saw the evil spirits starting to riot.

Chapter 222: Bad luck.

Uesugi Cheng was lying in the bathtub yawning. The battle with Tai Sui did not actually damage his strength too much. Even the Benning Prison was quietly recovered by Himegami Sakura. At most, he was a little overdrawn.

"But speaking of it... God, I've rarely seen them in this world."

Uesugi Cheng looked at the bracelet tied on his hand at this time. The first thing that was called a god was the mountain god he met in that small town. At that time, he relied on sacrificing a bottle of Anuluo's blood to satisfy the "mountain god" and let them leave.

Thinking of the bottle of Anulio's blood, Uesugi Cheng still felt a little regretful, but it was an emergency after all, so he didn't feel any regret. He just felt that he didn't know when he would get such material again.

He took out his cell phone and prepared to see if there was anyone else online to chat with. After all, although it was comfortable to just soak in the hot water, it was still a bit too boring for him. According to Gendokawa Hotaru, he could lend a set of clothes to Uesugi Cheng first. After all, his home was not far from Baoyue's home, and it would not be difficult to ride his bike home to get the clothes later.

Uesugi Cheng was yawning and focusing on his phone, not noticing at all that something beyond his expectations seemed to be happening in the small room on the second floor.

-

"What, what, what...what happened?"

Huandengheyingduolang looked around the blood-stained room. The remains of the dolls were blown everywhere, especially the heads. He didn't know what was wrong with that Taisui. Why did he have to pull out the heads of the dolls before destroying them? Now all the heads turned to look at them standing in the middle. The whole scene was extremely creepy.

"Just now, because Brother Uesugi was still here, they didn't dare to move, but now..."

Baoyue Yexiao never thought that it would turn out like this in the end. Uesugi Cheng alone was able to suppress all the evil spirits in the room so that they dared not even breathe.

"Get out of this room now, it's time to start."

Before Ying Duolang could react, Baoyue Yexiao directly pulled his arm and left the room. He could only follow Baoyue Yexiao's drag and leave with the unconscious Kamishiro Ai.

"Cannibalism..."

Baoyue Yexiao said something quite terrifying in a casual manner, and Ying Duolang was stunned for a moment.

"The battle between Taisui and Uesugi-sama just now broke the balance in the room that I set. All the evil spirits will devour the weak spirits first. In order to survive, the surviving evil spirits will then start a new round of devouring each other... until the end."

Ying Duolang touched his arm at this time. Even through his coat, he could feel goose bumps all over his arm. He didn't know how many horrible things Baoyue Yexiao had done to know them so well.

The screams and roars of the evil spirits made the doorplate hanging on the door of the room bang. He could even hear the sound of the evil spirits tearing and devouring each other, and the sound of dolls exploding.

Suddenly, all the noises quieted down. Yingdalang breathed a sigh of relief and mustered up the courage to ask.

"finished?"

“No… The Graduate is born.”

She stared at the door, and sure enough, the door slowly opened by itself, as if welcoming them in. There was a stuffed bear's head inside, staring at the two people outside the door.

-

"Ha... I feel much better. Now I just need to wait for my clothes to arrive."

Uesugi Cheng was yawning while soaking in the bathtub. Since Hotarou said it would take some time to get the clothes, he simply extended the time for scrubbing and bathing to clean his body more thoroughly. After all, there was no such good thing as a water heater for taking a bath in the Silent Bookstore, and he had to rely on lighting the fire himself.

"Phone... calling me at midnight? Isn't... isn't the person upstairs? Calling me at this time?"

Uesugi Cheng's cell phone suddenly rang, and the name displayed on the phone was, Baoyue Night Snack.

On the other side, Huandenghe Ying Duolang was using all his strength to try to push open the door of the room. After they walked into the room, Ying Duolang received a call from Baoyue Yexiao on his cell phone. Of course, this was a trap set by the evil spirit. As long as he answered the call, he would be instantly disabled by the curse. The curse of the 'graduate' was much more terrifying than Ying Duolang had imagined.

"Yongzi!! Don't answer it!!! You absolutely can't answer that call!!!"

He pushed and banged on the door desperately. Because of the evil spirit's evil taste, Baoyue Yongzi's cell phone outside the door also rang. The people in the room could hear the sound outside, but the people outside could not hear the sound inside.

Of course, if Hozuki Eiko, who was standing outside the door and watching the door suddenly close, was still hesitating whether to answer the phone, Uesugi Cheng was...

"Hello? What's the matter?"

He picked up the phone very smoothly. The person on the other end of the phone fell silent after hearing his voice, and then a sound like chanting was heard.

"Why don't you just tell me what's going on? What the hell are you doing playing a recording for me?"

Uesugi Cheng frowned, his aggression was gradually being aroused. He realized the strangeness of this phone call, and his head dropped. His soul left his body and passed through the ceiling to the second floor.

"Eh?!"

Ying Duolang looked at the phone which suddenly went silent, not knowing what had happened. He turned to look at Baoyue Yexiao, but Baoyue Yexiao also paused for a moment in confusion, and then reacted and blocked the teddy bear's head with even more force.

"So... who is so blind as to call someone in the middle of the night?"

A pale white spirit floated in, and Baoyue Yexiao even felt the head of the suppressed teddy bear in his arms tremble, as if it wanted to resist, but after hearing the white spirit speak, he dared not move for a moment.

Uesugi Cheng did not make things difficult for the new evil spirit. After all, he also understood the joy of transformation, so he simply added a few strokes to the head of the teddy bear it was living in. The raw material was naturally the blood that filled the room.

"Hina Doran-senpai, as for clothes..."

"Oh oh oh, I'll get it right away."

The feeling of Gendokawa Hotaru Doro, who had survived a disaster, was instantly extinguished. With fear in his heart, he put down Kamishiro Ai from his back without hesitation and went to get clothes for Uesugi Sumire.

"Then trouble you."

Uesugi Cheng yawned and glared at the teddy bear again. Nothing that happened to him today went well.

Baoyue Yexiao looked numbly at the head of the stuffed bear that shrank into her arms, overturning her previous assessment of Uesugi Cheng.

Chapter 223: Cooperation with the auction house and studies are important.

Uesugi Cheng slept until dawn and finally had a comfortable sleep. In fact, Gendokawa Hotaru's clothes were not very fitting, but they were very good for emergency use.

So last night, Uesugi Sumire went home wearing the old clothes that Hotaru brought over, then changed into his own clothes. He also threw the clothes into the washing machine to wash them and prepared to return them to the owner after drying them.

"This is the collection you may be looking for. The auction house is very honored to cooperate with you. This service is provided free of charge. I wish you a happy life."

The reply from Oliveram Auction House came very quickly, so quickly that Uesugi Cheng couldn't imagine how they managed to send the letter to this remote island in such a short time.

Of course, the other party's tone was so humble not only because they planned to do business with Uesugi Cheng, but more because they were impressed by Uesugi Cheng's identity as an immortal and the list of goods he listed that he planned to trade with the auction house.

This list even includes high-level ingredients such as Red Essence and Suan Ni Tincture that are difficult for ordinary masters to access, so the auction house responded so enthusiastically that they even sent him three books for free.

"It turns out that they are all a series of books... What a coincidence! Dean Jeffrey wrote a series of Socratic hypothetical theological dialogues. All three volumes were sent to me."

Uesugi Cheng smiled and stuffed the three books into the bookshelf to be read. These three books were not difficult to read, and the step-by-step knowledge was just right for him. However, the book he wanted to read the most at the moment was actually.

【The Seventh Tone】: A comedy poem by Samuel Savage, telling the story of a band that also acts as roadies and is looking for a seventh member. (Reading Required: 8 Domes) (Reading Gained: Teachings: Queqian Meter)

Of course, Uesugi Cheng wanted to laugh when he saw the name of this author. He didn't know which master's pseudonym this Mr. Samuel was. He used the little secrets between Si Chen in the book even more openly than him, and published several books in succession. Uesugi Cheng felt that he should complain about the punishment he received. Samuel even wrote three or four joke books and scripts and Si Chen didn't care about him. Why did Uesugi Cheng get half killed by the Day Foundry every time he painted a picture?

But no matter what, they still have to go to school. Uesugi Cheng put the books into his bag and prepared to go to school. According to Hotarou, no matter how nervous they are, Eiko and Hotarou cannot fall behind in their studies, and Baoyue Yexiao's studies cannot fall behind either, so they did not advance or postpone the exploration time because of Taisui's appearance, but still set it for this weekend.

"Good morning."

The person who greeted Uesugi Sumire was not Hikigaya Hachiman, but Yukinoshita Yukino. It's strange to say, he just happened to meet Yukinoshita Yukino at school today.

"Good morning, how are you?"

Uesugi Sumire asked. He was still a little concerned about the fact that he had made Yukinoshita Yukino catch a cold for no reason. After all, she was weak to begin with, and it seemed that his behavior had made Yukinoshita Yukino lie down for a few more days.

"I've almost recovered..."

Yukinoshita Yukino shuddered, as if she remembered the cold feeling of being under the heavy snow that day.

"That's good...Come to think of it, you probably wouldn't have attended that kind of party before, right?"

"you know?"

Yukinoshita Yukino was a little confused. Uesugi Sumire didn't look like the kind of person who would pay attention to such things.

"I guess. After all, being in a situation where you don't know many people is probably no different from being in prison for you."

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded slightly, and then realized that she shouldn't have made such a statement. However, after thinking about it, she simply gave up those messy thoughts. After all, the Uesugi Sumika in front of her was not an ordinary person, and there was no need to think about those rules and regulations when chatting with him.

"Oh, by the way, considering that you've been involved in those things twice... I think you might need some knowledge to protect yourself and the people around you. Any ideas, Yukinoshita-san?"

At this moment, Uesugi Sumiko had an inexplicable smile on his lips and stretched out his hand towards Yukinoshita Yukino. It didn't look like a sunny smile, nor did it look like he was doing anything good.

"Since you said so, Uesugi-san, do I have any reason to refuse? Then I only have one question... What price do I have to pay?"

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded seriously and helplessly. Uesugi Sumire's smile now did not look like that of a high school student. She felt that the person who best fit this smile should be Mephisto, the demon who tempted people to fall in "The Divine Comedy".

"Ah, there's no price... I just need you to help me with something sometimes."

Uesugi Sumika said that Yukinoshita Yukino didn't think there was anything about her that was worthy of Uesugi Sumika's concern, so she simply agreed to Uesugi Sumika. After all, she had been in danger twice and was powerless. As the saying goes, good things never happen three times, and she didn't want to be unable to do anything when there really was a third time.

"Ya hello!!!"

It was a familiar yet strange habit. Uesugi Sumiko and Yukinoshita Yukino shook hands gently to complete this little "ritual" and then immediately let go and looked towards the source of the sound together.

The pink hair, accompanied by the vitality of a young girl, is particularly prominent. Yuigahama Yui greeted the two people, then trotted to the side of Yukinoshita Yukino.

"Xiaoxue, are you feeling better now?! And Uesugi-san too. The recent autumn temperatures are really prone to catching a cold, so everyone should take protective measures."

It seems that most people in the school regarded Uesugi Sumiya's absence and Yukinoshita Yukino's leave as illness, which is good, at least Uesugi Sumiya does not need to make too many additional explanations.

"By the way, it seems that the Service Department said today that someone is coming to do a commission and even told us in advance that they hope we can wait for her."

Is Yuigahama Yui usually so energetic? Uesugi Cheng was a little confused, but his impression of this pink-haired girl was limited to the fact that she usually walked the dog and the cookies she made were really bad, so he didn't delve into it.

"Is that so? Then we'll leave first. Goodbye, Uesugi-san."

Yukinoshita Yukino said hello and was pulled away by Yuigahama Yui. It seemed that she had some special commission.

"You seem to have recovered quite well. I thought you were going to be burned to ashes that day."

As soon as the two young girls left, someone more familiar to Uesugi Sumiya appeared, Hikigaya Hachiman... with dark circles under his eyes.

224

Chapter 224 Confusing Fables.

"I see the dark circles under your eyes, what did you do to stay up so late?"

Uesugi Sumire asked, and Hikigaya Hachiman's expression looked like a corporate slave whose energy had been drained, even weaker than before.

"I had a nightmare... I saw a ghost. I haven't slept well in the past few days. When I close my eyes, I see a fire. This time it's really your fault."

Hikigaya Hachiman's words were weak. As the most direct victim, the side effects of "Hell Transformation" were the most obvious. For several days and nights, every time he closed his eyes, he seemed to be back to the fire scene, looking at the burning carriage and the prying eyes of countless evil spirits from hell.
