A comic book, but a librarian

"Choose now, the spirit of Ruins H, to die like this, or... to enter this doll."

Baoyue Yexiao glanced at Uesugi Cheng, and after the other party nodded, she shouted this sentence. She didn't know what Uesugi Cheng had done, but it was Uesugi Cheng who gave the final blow to the evil spirit of the girl in front of her, making her completely unable to resist. Uesugi Cheng was the one who had the most authority to express his opinion on how to deal with this spirit.

The girl glanced at the doll, then looked at Uesugi Sumiya who was standing behind her. Her body made of spiritual power trembled, as if she had seen something terrible, and she hid inside the doll without hesitation.

"In that case! The spirit of Ruins H has been conquered!"

Baoyue Yexiao raised the doll very happily and completed the main goal without any danger.

Chapter 241 Thousand Soul Yanhua kills the boy himself.

After seeing the spirit voluntarily enter the doll, the group relaxed a little. Baoyue Yexiao looked at the head of the stuffed bear in his hand. The great monk lay back quietly without crying or making a fuss. He was so well-behaved that he didn't look like a resentful "graduate" who had emerged from the countless evil spirits that were fed by Gu and devoured and killed each other.

Of course, the great abbot is not a fool. Even if he wants to take revenge on the human girl who controls him, he will definitely not choose this time. He knows more about the monster who looks like a human but is actually in human skin than all the humans present. He does not want to experience those horrible attacks and nightmares like the unlucky guy who was just taken in.

Besides, even if it risked its "dignity" as an evil spirit (if there really is such a thing) and gave it a try, would the one standing there really be the real body and not some illusory clone? The great monk didn't know that it had already laid flat, at least in front of Uesugi Cheng. It didn't want to waste its strength on an enemy it couldn't defeat. The so-called "Taisui" made it more eager to fight. After all, "Taisui" seemed understandable and would be affected by its abilities.

"That... there's something in the waterfall, and it seems to be entangled with the spirit that you, Yexiao-chan, subdued."

Bao Yue Ye Xiao looked carefully and saw that there was indeed a thread filled with strong resentment wrapped around the doll, or rather, wrapped around the spirit living inside the doll.

"Indeed, I saw it, it is connected to the waterfall."

Ying Duolang looked at the silk thread that spread into the waterfall. He could feel the ominous aura on the thread.

"How about taking it out? It doesn't look dangerous now anyway."

Uesugi Cheng spoke, and this time he really came here by himself. After all, he had only known the technique of deceiving the world and faking one's body for too short a time, and it was not quick to make a lifelike spirit. At the beginning, he just hastily made a substitute who was exactly the same as himself to test the waters.

"See you, lend a hand."

Uesugi Sumiko simply started digging from the waterfall himself. Yotsuya Miko also trotted to the edge of the waterfall and took the box that Uesugi Sumiko handed to her.

It was a very ordinary wooden box. To be honest, she was quite puzzled by the fact that the seal on it could not get wet at all in the water.

"It's a cursed object. It looks like there are indeed people with bad intentions who want to do something around here. How about we put the blame on them for those dead people?"

Uesugi Cheng opened the box, and his dry arms exuded an ominous meaning. The moment his arms were exposed to the air, the spirit living inside the doll appeared again, covering her head in pain. Even the fear just now could not make her retreat.

Yotsuya Miko carefully used her spiritual power to cut the thread connecting the cursed object and the spirit. After the connection was severed, the evil spirit gradually regained its sanity, touched the wound on its throat, and looked around at everyone present, as if wanting to express its gratitude.

Of course, when he saw Uesugi Sumire, he immediately lowered his head, looking like a mouse seeing a cat.

"I'm sorry... my anger and hatred made me completely forget my original intention. I am willing to accept the price of killing those people... any price..."

She said this, waiting for her end.

"I don't care, but if you want to deal with that 'Tai Sui', her power should be indispensable to you."

Uesugi Cheng had no idea. He felt that his memory of the battle was gradually beginning to revive.

As an immortal, especially an immortal promoted by the Forge of Daylight, the various battles he faced were no less than those of the soldiers under the colonel. In particular, the types of enemies he faced might even be more than those soldiers. These memories should have been completely silenced with the blessing of 'Miss Elegy', but now they are gradually revived because of Uesugi Cheng's own actions.

"I'll go look for clues and contact the aftermath. You guys should decide how to handle this matter."

Uesugi Cheng yawned. It was normal for the body to feel tired. He indeed had not slept all night. It would be reasonable for him to contact the police to deal with the skeletal body on the ground and take a nap at the same time.

"Hello, Inspector Inudo? You know about the H site, we have dealt with the problem, so now we need you to clean up the mess, that is, collect the bodies of the victims. Otherwise, I think the archaeologists will be confused if we leave these bones in this historical site."

Uesugi Cheng dialed the number casually. Himegami Sakura appeared behind a tree and pointed to the distance. The old woman's spirit was running away like it was desperate. Uesugi Cheng didn't care much about it. It was common for powerful evil spirits and weak spirits to be accomplices to the evil. However, the old woman...

"Let's catch her first. She seems to know something... For example, how did this thing in my hand come from? If she really doesn't know anything, then we can get rid of her."

After receiving the order from Uesugi Sumire, Himegami Sakura nodded. She was clearly looking forward to the battle all night, but Uesugi Sumire didn't let her make a move once. Himegami Sakura, who was angry but had no place to vent, immediately walked into the fog and chased after him.

Uesugi Sumiko walked around the forest and found no other buried objects, but he did see a lot of dead people and animal corpses, so he returned to the edge of the waterfall.

"I'm so sorry...for ruining that thing."

Ling, who had regained consciousness, sincerely apologized to Uesugi Cheng.

"It's okay. You guys have already reached an agreement, right?"

"Yes, she has a new name now. It's Qianhun Yanhua Zijian Tongzi."

Baoyue Yexiao introduced the spirit in front of her with some pride. She had reached a cooperation agreement with the other party, although this agreement seemed more like a unilateral order.

"You're really good at naming things."

Uesugi Cheng was stunned for a moment. Anyway, he felt that it was impossible for him to come up with a name for a spirit that not only sounded powerful but also fit its characteristics in such a short time. Whether it was Qianhun or Ziren, they undoubtedly pointed out her characteristics naturally and mysteriously.

"So everyone, do you want to wait here with me for the police? And discuss how to deal with this so-called 'cursed object'."

Uesugi Cheng picked up the box that returned to his hand, looked at the people around him and asked.

Chapter 242: H Ruins, guide completed.

"Good evening, Mr. Detective. We meet again."

At three o'clock in the morning, the entire H site, including part of the forest, had been cordoned off, and criminal police were busy checking the scene. It was called an inspection, but in fact it was more like cleaning.

After all, that pile of skeletons is already a huge trouble for them. There are also many missing people in Tokyo every year. To identify these bones that have been dead for who knows how long is a huge workload for the Metropolitan Police Department's already stretched forensic configuration.

"Good evening...Is it resolved?"

Kento Hirota has been feeling a little proud recently, mainly because he has solved some difficult problems and will be able to earn more money and live a better life before retirement. But now he is standing in front of a high school student who is about 20 years younger than him, looking a little timid.

But it's not his fault. After all, Uesugi Sumira's name has become synonymous with evil spirits and monsters. In any case, those bones could definitely not have been created by Uesugi Sumira and his group. So now he can only pray that Uesugi Sumira does a thorough job in exorcising the spirits so that the evil spirits that created these bones will never harm people again.

"It's solved. Otherwise, I wouldn't have called you here. It would have been a trap for you... That's all I can say about what happened here. As for the box."

When he heard "that's all", Kento Hirota cut off the signal of his communication device without hesitation. He didn't want to have the additional task of bringing the strange things on it back to the Metropolitan Police Department. The farther away from things related to evil spirits the better. This was the main reason why he was able to work in the Metropolitan Police Department for so long.

"We'll just take a brief statement and you can leave. Please don't say anything that would bother our people. After all, it's very troublesome to polish it."

Hirota Kento gave such instructions. Anyway, when Inudo Ranko called him, he knew that what happened today would most likely not be seen by the public.

"Okay, we'll take that thing."

Uesugi Sumire withdrew his gaze with some regret, which made Hirota Kento more certain that what he did was correct. If it was just a hot potato, it would be fine, but what Uesugi Sumire gave out could really be life-threatening.

The record was taken very quickly, and the police's questioning was quite perfunctory, and it even seemed that they had no intention of knowing more.

"It's already early morning, and everyone is tired. Let's not drive back. It would be bad if we get into a fatigue driving accident. How about we find a place nearby to sleep before we go?"

Uesugi Sumiya's decision was unanimously approved. After all, the only people who could drive were Uesugi Sumiya and Hogetsuki Eiko, and the latter didn't come. So instead of walking back, it would be more practical to just stay in the hotel for a night.

They had finished their discussion before the police arrived. The cursed object was recovered by Uesugi Cheng for research, and then the doll of Senkon Yanhua Jikendouji was buried back in the forest by them. This site was a large spiritual power field, and even if it was left alone, Jikendouji's injuries would soon heal and his strength would recover quickly.

In order to avoid the police accidentally digging out the doll and causing any accident, they decided to wait until the police left and then come back to put the doll back so that Jiren Douji could heal his injuries on his own.

After the door was closed, Uesugi Cheng yawned and lay directly on the bed. It didn't consume much energy to deal with the evil spirit, but it did allow him to experiment with many strange things, such as a substitute that could deceive the world, the power of starlight to attack, and the use of vision and perception in battle.

The third project has been shelved by Uesugi Cheng. The painting drawn with the Enlightenment of the End is still too powerful. For ordinary people, they may not even realize what is happening and may die. Moreover, it is an indiscriminate killing.

"Sakura, did you catch it?"

Uesugi Cheng sat on the bed, casually fiddling with the lens he had rubbed out. He had to say that the pair of Blade Immortals who had visited Silent Bookstore a long time ago were indeed generous. They not only left behind knowledge, but also technology.

【Tilde Lens】: Librarian Brulov was inspired by one of the infamous twin blades and invented this thing; it is very useful for making fire, causing headaches, etc. (2 lamps, 2 domes, 1 blade, 1 casting).

"Yes, sir... I have brought it."

The old woman's spirit that was thrown out from the mist knelt down and started crying loudly almost the moment she saw Uesugi Cheng.

"My lord, my lord, I was also forced... If I didn't do this, I would be eaten."

"So this was also forced?"

Uesugi Cheng picked up the box at hand, saw that the old woman's expression trembled uncontrollably, and pointed the lens at her.

“Ahhhhh?!!!”

A hole was burned in the spirit. The lens was clearly only deflecting the light inside the hotel, but the refracted light caused her great harm and pain.

"No... I can't tell them. They will kill me! Let me go. I will never appear here again."

The old woman wailed in pain, but the sound was blocked by the fog and could not even be heard in the next room. Himegami Sakura looked at the old woman expressionlessly. The other party was indeed good at escaping, but the absolute gap in strength made her little trick meaningless.

"It looks like it's related... We have plenty of time, so tell me everything you know slowly. Otherwise... spirits won't dissipate so easily. After all, I've done a lot of research on them."

Uesugi Cheng pulled up the curtains, and the advantages of the single room were now fully revealed. At least now this quiet space would not have any irrelevant people disturbing their activities.

……

"Ahhhh!! You actually left me alone to encounter ghosts!!!"

The unwilling voice of Baoyue Yongzi reached Uesugi Cheng's ears. It was already ten o'clock in the morning of the next day. It seemed that Yexiao had asked Yongzi to come over and pick someone up.

"I want to ask the unhappy Yongzi a question in the spirit of reconciliation."

When Uesugi Cheng walked to the front desk to check out, Baoyue Yexiao was just talking to Baoyue Eiko, who looked very angry, and Hotaru next to her didn't dare to say a word.

"Want to go somewhere scarier?"

The front desk clerk acted as if he knew nothing, which saved Uesugi Cheng a lot of trouble. He snapped his fingers and asked the front desk clerk to forget the content of the conversation.

Baoyue Yexiao's next destination probably has nothing to do with Uesugi Cheng. He now wants to integrate the resources he has in his hands and enhance his combat effectiveness.

243

Chapter 243: St. Columba's Tomb and the Pathological Hacker.

The old woman's spirit was sent away neatly, just as Uesugi Cheng had promised, giving her a painless relief. However, the information she gave before her death did make Uesugi Cheng feel helpless. There was also a group of mysterious people placing this special cursed object in the haunted place to cause the originally stable spirit to go berserk.

Uesugi Cheng did not think that this would be an isolated case. After all, the hand seemed to have been ripped off a body, so most of the other parts would have the same effect as the arm. If that was the case, Uesugi Cheng did not think that they would only place such things in one place.

"This is troublesome. If we leave Tokyo, I don't know how many demons are rampant outside."

Uesugi Cheng rubbed his hair in distress. Music was flowing slowly in the room. The box in his hand had been resealed and reinforced to ensure that no breath would leak out. Then Uesugi Cheng placed the box next to a coffin.

Yes, it was a tomb chamber specially used to place a marble coffin. It was in the room next to the water pump on the lower level. Uesugi Sumiko finally borrowed the help of the self-reincarnated boy and cleaned the room. But in fact, the bones of Saint Columba were not in this marble coffin, but this place was still called the tomb chamber of Saint Columba.

Uesugi Sumiko casually placed the box in a corner of the tomb. Although the remains were not placed in the marble coffin, the chill that came from nowhere was still enough to shock all the resentment and spirits. Himegami Sakura didn't even dare to step into this place, let alone repair the huge underground tomb behind the room where the saint's coffin was placed.

After placing the box, Uesugi Cheng climbed back to the Silent Bookstore using the ladder made of iron bars fixed to the well wall installed at the wellhead. St. Columba's tomb not only led to a huge underground burial chamber, but also to the second treasury buried under the Silent Bookstore. The door to the treasury was a heavy granite door sealed with white wax and a triple lock decorated with ivory and black jade.

Of course, Uesugi Cheng found that he did not have the ability to open it for the time being, so he simply left it alone. The three books in his hand had not been finished yet, but something else was actually more important.

The Invisible Opera.

Sugi Cheng had put this tape aside for a long time, and finally he had the time to play it again and listened to it patiently.

Although the singers in this performance are all top-notch in their fields, the Invisible Opera is dedicated to "Magpie" Friselief, whose hobby is unexpected interruptions. Undoubtedly, the opera was never completed in the end.

However, he did give some instructions on how to improve his [Strings and Songs], but Uesugi Cheng felt very helpless because no matter how good his string instruments were or how beautiful his singing voice was, he was alone. If he wanted to complete a song, it was impossible for him to do it alone most of the time, unless...

Uesugi Cheng was stunned for a moment. He remembered that he seemed to have learned some new skills, as if... deceiving the world and pretending to be someone else.

So he put the tape back into the bookshelf first, and then immediately began to study his own method of making a fake identity. Although the Blazing Sun and White Day Forge had already pushed this method to the extreme and Uesugi Cheng could not optimize it further, it was still very worthwhile to make some personalized changes.

……

"Sick hackers? A band? Invite us to listen to their live performance?"

Uesugi Sumire was sitting in Fanxing's practice room, playing the guitar. It was a new day, and he came to Fanxing as soon as school was over. However, he didn't expect to be stopped by Ijichi Kouka before he started practicing.

"Yeah! Liang Ke likes their music, and it just so happens that the bassist of that band is doing an outdoor performance with Xiao Boqi, so she invited us to watch her performance together."

The four members of the Bond Band all looked very happy, although Goto Ichiri seemed a little afraid of causing trouble for Uesugi Sumikado by inviting him to go along.

"Sure, it's time to learn more about the styles of other bands..."

Uesugi Cheng murmured to himself that he had been living a very fulfilling life recently, his mind was filled with the tune of the invisible opera and the opening of the sky, and he urgently needed to find something different to listen to to change his mood, but this speech seemed a little different to the four beautiful girls.

"Eh...are you going to challenge other bands so soon?"

Ijichi Hongxia swallowed her saliva. Although she guessed that Uesugi Cheng would take his own steps after he became stronger, wasn't it a bit too fast now?

"No... No way, Hiroi-san is obviously a good person except for forgetting to pay back the money she borrowed."

Goto Ichiri shook his body and shrank himself up, looking a little scared.

"That's amazing, Uesugi-san. I'm very pleased that you've made it this far."

Yamada Ryo pretended to wipe away tears, looking as if he had seen his child become successful.

"Hey, what happened?"
