A comic book, but a librarian

"That's troublesome. Please eat these... We can only use these to pay off the debt. If it doesn't work, little Pochi will also do."

Compared to Ijichi Kouka who still wanted to continue to refuse, Yamada Ryo seemed very calm. He agreed immediately without saying a word, and then handed the plate of French fries in front of him to Uesugi Sumire with both hands.

Goto Ichiri, who had just recovered, started dancing with joy when he heard Yamada Ryo's words, and then he couldn't say a word and started vomiting.

"Hey! Ryo! You bastard!"

Hongxia helplessly watched as Yamada Ryo followed up on Uesugi Sumire's momentum and frightened Goto Ichiri to faint. She wanted to hit her head helplessly, but gave up in the end.

"That's it, remember to gather at the new place tomorrow. After all, the cultural festival shouldn't be too far away. All three songs are your own original creations, so there's nothing to refer to."

Just like that, the cooperation was finalized, and then it was a pleasant meal time. It seemed that because of the influence of the food, even Goto Ichiri became a little more active. At least she didn't shrink into a ball like a quail when Uesugi Sumika spoke to her.

"Why do I feel like her social anxiety has gotten worse? Is this my illusion?"

Finally, Uesugi Sumire secretly asked Kita Ikuyo, and she could only respond with a helpless smile.

"Well... maybe it's because Uesugi-san is so amazing, and Pochi-chan doesn't seem to be used to it yet."

Uesugi Cheng nodded, accepting this statement. Of course, the end of dinner does not mean the end of the day.

——Silent Bookstore, Autopsy Room——

"1, 2, 3, 4, and the first fake body was created."

Out of some kind of evil taste, Uesugi Sumiko placed his own fake body in the room used for autopsies. In addition to the experimental fake body, the first official fake body was presented to the world in the form of a woman, with gray hair, lifeless eyes and perfect features. Her age was set at 16, and she looked like a well-behaved young lady.

"After all, my boss and Jiaoyang can both swap genders and create alternate accounts, so what's wrong with me creating a few beautiful girl alternate accounts..."

Uesugi Sakura was talking to himself, which made Himegami Sakura next to him speechless. However, she was still amazed at Uesugi Sakura's craftsmanship. The body of the girl in front of her was completely like a real living person. If Uesugi Sakura didn't say it, she might really think that it was the body of a living person left after death.

"This is the power of deceiving the world by pretending to be someone else. After all, it is a trick that can deceive the world... But fake is fake, and once it is exposed, its true form will be revealed... Sakura, after all, we still have to find a way to let you continue to grow, right, so that you can get a body that truly belongs to you."

"Hey...can I?"

Himegami Sakura was a little surprised and a little touched. She was already very satisfied that Uesugi Sumiko had not forgotten her little wish.

"It's OK. I just need to find more methods and materials. I found the body bit by bit."

Uesugi Cheng muttered to himself, and finally sent the fake body of the beautiful girl back to where she should be, and then continued his own craft.

Then, he received a text message.

"Are they going to take action again so soon, Ye Xiao?"

Chapter 247: In the name of Colonel.

The riverbed of T River in O City was deserted, and even the reeds were abnormally tall, slightly taller than a normal adult male.

"This graduate himself has no ill intentions, but he was a soldier in his lifetime, and he has a terrifying recovery ability that is close to immortality. No matter how you kill him, he will recover... and this characteristic still exists after death."

Baoyue Yexiao began to talk about the goal of this time. In addition to the old F tunnel, she also had to take a detour to the riverbed to retrieve another graduate as a supplement to the combat power. Although she knew that Uesugi Cheng's strength was definitely enough to deal with the evil spirits in the old F tunnel, if possible, she wanted to try her best to do these things with her own strength.

"Moreover, the souls of the hundreds of enemies he killed during his lifetime still haunt him after his death, constantly releasing their resentment... They are almost constantly gnawing at the graduates instinctively, but they cannot kill the graduates themselves due to their super strong recovery ability. I offer him to become a Buddha as a condition in exchange for his help."

"He himself has no ill will towards humans, but there is one thing he can't do anything about. The souls of the soldiers around him who are entangled with him with resentment will attack everyone indiscriminately. But as long as we have water, they shouldn't be too rough with us."

Baoyue Yexiao explained in detail all the characteristics of this graduate. She didn't know whether Uesugi Cheng could send this graduate to reincarnation and become a Buddha, just as she still couldn't understand the terrifying recovery speed of the soldier's ghost.

The four people took the water and walked through the reeds that were taller than people, heading towards the direction indicated by Baoyue Night Snack. The surroundings were very quiet, even the sound of insects could not be heard. Even at the H ruins, there were small animals, but it was completely different here. Except for the sound of gnawing something, everything was silent.

"what is that?"

Ying Duolang's hands were shaking a little. He was still not used to these things and the fear still lingered in his heart. He was not like his childhood sweetheart Yongzi, who became more excited the more terrified he was. He saw a very abrupt human body model standing in the reeds.

The mannequin's head was wrapped in a cloth bag, and the opening of the bag around its neck was tied tightly with a rope, just like the hood worn on the head of a death row prisoner in ancient times.

Of course, if there was only a human model like this placed here, at most people would think that someone had thrown an unwanted human model into the riverbed. But even ordinary people, seeing the countless deep teeth marks on the human model and the TV in front of it that was still lit without any energy, would immediately leave without looking back.

"Tsk, they are really a group of spirits that attack indiscriminately. They have retained the aggressive soldier souls from their lifetime. This curse is really a bad taste."

As if it had sensed the arrival of a living person, the human model began to tremble violently. Baoyue Yongzi, who had no psychic ability, could only see that the TV suddenly lit up, and a soldier was sitting on a desolate land, holding his weapon and muttering slogans in a state of confusion.

But at this moment, Huandengheying Duolang felt that his back was soaked with cold sweat. Countless evil spirits struggled to get up, or let go of the human models they had been gnawing on, and turned to look at the fresh flesh and blood. With their last instincts and desires in life, they staggered towards the water and food they craved.

"Stop!"

Baoyue Yexiao was stunned. She had originally planned to use water to reduce the hostility of the group of evil spirits of soldiers and then retrieve the graduates. However, Uesugi Cheng attracted the attention of the group of evil spirits right from the start, which she did not expect.

Uesugi Cheng put down the water in his hand and looked at the soldiers in front of him who had almost lost their minds and only had instincts left. Some of their bodies were completely mutilated and they were just repeating their obsessions before death, craving for food to fill their stomachs.

Of course, what Ying Duolang and Yexiao didn't expect was that those evil spirits actually hesitated and stopped moving forward. Even the graduates raised their heads and looked at the high school boy in front of them in disbelief.

"If there is still any trace of your last human and soldier self left! Stop right now!"

Uesugi Cheng's words were unquestionable, as if they were iron rules. Baoyue Yexiao once thought that the only way to command such unintelligent evil spirits was through violence, but today Uesugi Cheng broke her understanding.

"In the name of the colonel, line up!"

The coldness once again crept into the hearts of the three living people. Except for Uesugi Cheng, the other three couldn't help but touch their arms, subconsciously trying to dispel the chill. Baoyue Yexiao was the first to react. This inherent chill seemed to be the effect that would appear when Uesugi Cheng exerted his power.

Ying Duolang was completely stunned. Those evil spirits of soldiers who had just been wailing and craving for all kinds of liquids and food actually slowly gathered together and formed a line.

The soldiers seemed to have gradually regained their consciousness. The spirits that were still able to stand gradually straightened their backs. The evil spirits that had lost their lower bodies also raised their heads and straightened their backs, looking at the high school students in front of them who were younger than them, as if they were looking at their superiors.

The dead souls looked at Shangshan Cheng, as if they were recalling that sunny day when they lined up for the last time before heading to the battlefield. Now, that feeling came back again, they were waiting for their superiors' inspection and were about to set off to the battlefield.

"Next, follow me!!"

Following this order, almost all the resentful undead spirits still haunting the graduate left him and began to line up consciously. Uesugi Cheng took out a huge wine bottle from somewhere, and then a flame suddenly started burning.

"After you finish drinking this wine, you will have to pick up your weapons and start fighting again! Now, make your choice!"

【Intrinsic Gray Wine】: A bitter but intoxicating liquor. After drinking it, even if you close your eyes, the afterimage will continue. (January 1 Winter)

Almost as soon as the words fell, all the resentment consciously came in front of Uesugi Cheng, or it could no longer be called resentment. They seemed to gradually find themselves and become soldiers again.

The alcohol was burning, and the strong smell made several people's faces turn unnaturally red. Baoyue Night Snack had not expected that the matter could be settled so easily, and was ready to collect the graduates.

"You!! You can definitely kill me, right!! You definitely can! I know it! That little girl has come to fulfill her promise!"

But an accident happened again. The graduate spoke enthusiastically, and the look he gave Uesugi Cheng was full of ecstasy. Even the seal began to shake.

248

Chapter 248 Heading to the Old F Tunnel.

"The spirit's aggression has...disappeared? Unbelievable."

Baoyue Yexiao said in a low voice that she never thought that Uesugi Cheng was an ordinary person. She even sometimes thought that Uesugi Cheng was a super evil spirit in human skin, or even a god at the level of "Taisui". However, she never thought that this could make spirits stop their obsessions in their lifetime.

"what is that?"

Hotarou saw it more clearly. In the chilling light, Uesugi Cheng's figure changed for a moment. The black-haired boy had countless scars on his face and body, and even one of his eyes was blind. However, the image only flashed by for a moment, and he did not see it clearly.

"Next, count! Then come over here!"

Uesugi Sumiko ignored the graduate who was still sealed in the doll in the human model. Instead, he looked at the soldiers in front of him who had sworn allegiance to him. The quality of these soldiers' spirits was not as strong as those evil spirits, or they relied on the spiritual power of the graduate and their own resentment to survive for a long time.

But now, the resentment has been replaced by Uesugi Cheng in the form of an oath. As a price, they will fight as soldiers until the moment their souls dissipate, just like every soldier who has sworn an oath to the colonel. Then the next thing to be solved is the spiritual power required for their existence and fighting in this world.

"I said!! You can kill me, right!! I saw it!! You can definitely kill me!! Come, come and kill me!"

Baoyue Yexiao wanted to speak up to stop the graduate sergeant, but there was no doubt that the other party's enthusiasm made him completely ignore Baoyue Yexiao. The human model exploded, and fragments flew everywhere. A soldier wearing a military cap, holding a saber, and with his shirt open to expose his chest stood in front of them. Ying Duolang knew that the other party only had eyes for Uesugi Cheng, but just the residual power of him standing here was enough to make Ying Duolang have difficulty breathing.

"I can't solve the problem on your body right now. I need more research. Your immortality cannot be solved by killing you."

Uesugi Cheng spoke slowly. He certainly didn't want to start fighting at this time. After all, he had a small army at his disposal that needed to be reorganized. When these soldiers swore an oath to him and the colonel, some of his dusty memories began to gradually revive, and the battlefield skills the colonel taught him gradually returned to his brain.

"But...I feel it, you can!!"

The sergeant refused to give in. He saw his end in Uesugi Sumiya, a beautiful end where he could close his eyes peacefully, never see or hear anything again. But he also felt that Uesugi Sumiya was not lying.

"That's just a kind of power... To be honest, I don't think that kind of power alone can kill you. With the right rituals, materials, and power combined, I might be able to give you the most grand funeral possible, using the things that the Mystical Mendicant Order once worshipped."

Uesugi Sumiko was referring to [Throat Blue], the final ink of the Third History, which symbolized the gloomy blue and white of winter. Perhaps that thing, combined with some special rituals, could indeed break the immortality, but he had never tried it, and the battles between immortals would not involve the final ink.

“Is that so… I can wait, I can wait for you to kill me… If you turn me into my weakest form, you can really kill me, right?!”

The sergeant finally seemed to be a little more sober. He had seen the light of hope. Naturally, he would not be so tactless as to fight to the death. His goal was to die peacefully.

In addition, most of those troublesome undead spirits that kept gnawing at him have now been taken away by Uesugi Cheng, and the remaining ones can't cause him much trouble. He has plenty of patience and time to wait for a beautiful death to befall him. Before that, it is not a bad idea to obey the orders of Yu Baoyue Yexiao and Uesugi Cheng.

"Then... please be our helper."

Baoyue Yexiao said so. She finally succeeded in recovering the body of the graduate. Although the graduate's power seemed to have weakened after those undead spirits that kept gnawing were subdued by Uesugi Cheng, she knew that the sergeant's curse ability was the most important, and those undead spirits were just extras.

The sergeant returned to the raccoon cat doll, tears of blood already oozing from his eyes. It seemed that he was too excited and the seal had completely failed. The air around him also began to drop in temperature.

"You guys are going to the old F tunnel, right? Do you need my help?"

Uesugi Cheng asked. The undead spirits that he had subdued were now quietly staying in the scroll paper that he was going to use as a canvas. He planned to add a few strokes temporarily to provide these soldiers with a temporary place to stay, so as to avoid a large number of supernatural events happening around him.

"Please come if you can. The danger of an S-level supernatural location is never certain. We don't know what we will encounter, so it would be best to have an extra fighting force."

Bao Yue Night Snack was very sincere. A little extra strength is never too much, and no one knows what the spirit in the old F tunnel is, so if someone can act as insurance, that would of course be the best.

"Is that so? Let's go, and give me a ride to the store so I can buy some things."

Uesugi Cheng nodded. He just wanted to try out the skills he had just learned, so he simply agreed. After all, the evil spirits in the S-level supernatural place last time were quite tough, so they were just right as wooden stakes. He wondered if they would be the same type this time.

The car was driving steadily on the road. This time, because of Uesugi Sumiko, Houyue Eiko did not drive so fast. She saw from the rearview mirror that Uesugi Sumiko seemed to be drawing on the drawing paper he brought, so she slowed down the car and spoke to break the silence.

"Oh, I just checked. There are two F tunnels, the old and the new. The haunted places mentioned in the forum are all the old F tunnels. That's right. They also mentioned a lot of characteristics. I don't know which ones are true."

Then, Houyue Eiko began to talk in a torrent of stories, including rumors that the person in white matched a female ghost, that an old woman was run over by a truck in the tunnel and her entire body was stuck to the wall of the tunnel, and that a family in a teahouse near the tunnel was hacked to death by robbers with an axe.

"Personally, I think the possibility of the human-like voice coming from the tunnel and the existence of the reflector is higher. However, it is said on the forum after all. You can only know what the phenomenon is until you see it."

Uesugi Cheng put the canvas back into his backpack, and the car just stopped at the entrance of the tunnel.

249

Chapter 249 The Hunter and the Prey.

The completely shattered reflector stood at the entrance of the tunnel. Where the mirror should have been, only a few completely meaningless fragments remained stubbornly there.

"The reflector that shouldn't exist..."

Hozuki Eiko stared blankly at the mirror that reflected her figure intact. The forum clearly said that there shouldn't be such a thing...

She suddenly felt a chill on her back and subconsciously looked back. Baoyue Yexiao, Huandenghe Yingduolang, and Uesugi Cheng were all standing there safely. She breathed a sigh of relief.

"They say it doesn't exist, but we have to confirm whether it was originally here or not..."

Hotarou said this somewhat helplessly, but the moment Houyue Eiko turned her head again, he felt a slight dizziness for some reason.

"Hey, that's weird, why is the internet so slow...it was working fine just now?"

Yongzi shook her cell phone. She wanted to go to the forum to take a look at the related rumors, but her cell phone had no signal.

"Yongzi, don't wait, let's go in."

Bao Yue Ye Xiao's eyes emitted a red light, and then immediately dimmed. She had just triggered her spiritual vision, and this place was covered by a spiritual field. It was natural that her cell phone could not receive a signal. She didn't think there would be any gain from continuing to waste time here, so she simply called the other three people to go into the tunnel together.

So the four of them walked into the tunnel like this...?

"Eh?! Midnight snack?! Hotaru? Uesugi-san?!"

Baoyue Yongzi looked up in surprise. There was no one around. Only herself and herself in the mirror were standing there alone. Just as she was surprised, a light appeared at the other end of the tunnel. Someone with a flashlight was walking towards the exit from the other end of the tunnel.

……

"No... I was just thinking about what kind of paint to use and was in a daze for a while. How come no one called me and everyone just left on their own?"

Uesugi Sumiko was speechless. When he came to his senses, there was no one in front of him. There was only a strange reflector standing at the entrance of the tunnel. The smooth and flat surface of the mirror reflected the road surface, but it could not reflect Uesugi Sumiko's figure.

"Huh? That's strange, there are still people here."

A young girl came over from the other end of the tunnel, holding a camera and a flashlight in her hands. She had shoulder-length hair and wore glasses, and looked very quiet.

"Is there anyone else? Did anyone just go in? I had a hard time finding the haunted place they mentioned."

Uesugi Sumiko asked, while he was taking things out of his bag. He looked like an ordinary high school student who was about to embark on an adventure to a haunted place, which undoubtedly made the girl opposite him happy.

"Hey, is that so? Are the two adults and one child in front of you your companions? Why are you the only one left here? Why don't you come with me into the tunnel to find them? I remember they didn't walk very fast."

The girl asked excitedly. She looked as if she had finally met someone with the same interests as her. She hid her malice very cleverly, waiting for the prey that was about to fall into the trap like her and let out a desperate scream.

"Alas, your acting skills are not up to par. Don't do it. Ask the matter clearly."
