A comic book, but a librarian

Uesugi Cheng took out the scroll, and the confused expression on his face just now disappeared, leaving only a smile, a cold smile.

"Eh?"

The girl did not understand what Uesugi Sumika meant, but the next moment, she felt something piercing her hand holding the camera. The camera in her hand fell to the ground and then disappeared. Only then did she realize the pain belatedly reach her heart.

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

The violent screams did not affect the subsequent violence. Her limbs were pierced and she fell to the ground. She finally saw clearly that those evil spirits in military uniforms showed her a bloody smile.

“No, no, no, I was also forced. That guy will keep torturing those of us who are unwilling to cooperate. I… I was also forced. Let me go. Please save me.”

The girl gradually revealed her true appearance. Her face was peeled off, revealing the muscle fibers underneath. It looked very horrifying. Her abdomen was ripped open, exposing her internal organs. Her slender legs were simply chopped off, leaving only two huge wounds.

"Alas, it's this kind of accomplice who claims to know nothing again... Go on, is there anything else she wants to say?"

Uesugi Sumiko listened to the pleas for mercy and screams with an expressionless face. This was definitely not the first time that this evil spirit lured others into the tunnel. Although no one knew what the guy in the tunnel was doing, this kind of ghost deserved to be killed.

The bayonet pierced into her internal organs and the remaining flesh. The brutal torture had a very effective effect. From begging for mercy to cursing and then to breaking down and praying for death, only a few minutes later, the girl's spirit had been tortured to the point of being broken. However, her characteristics as a ghost allowed her to still maintain her body and mind, and she could only gasp for breath.

"I...I've finished, I really don't know anything anymore...Please, let me go."

She looked at the sky in despair, she was obviously the victim, she came here to save her friend but was discovered that her friend just wanted her to be a scapegoat. She watched her body being gradually chopped off, her face being peeled off, and then being carried by the monster on his face, using her face to mock her innocence.

"I see. One last thing... Lead the way. The hunt is about to begin."

A paper figure fell on the shattered spirit and absorbed her. The limbs of the paper figure were instantly soaked with blood. Behind Uesugi Cheng, soldiers with guns and knives gradually formed a team. Their number was not large, but each of them was a real veteran who had stepped out of the war.

"Everyone, the first battle is about to begin. Get ready. Our hunting target...seems to call himself a hunter."

Uesugi Cheng showed a malicious smile, and the morale of the soldiers instantly rose. They already knew who they were serving, and they were supposed to be "hunters" and "soldiers".

"Be quiet... The identities of hunter and prey could reverse at any time, so we must keep a close eye on the prey until it can no longer struggle."

Uesugi Sumiya's footsteps rang out in the tunnel, followed by a breeze, but no marching sounds could be heard, and no one could be seen except Uesugi Sumiya.

Chapter 250: Collaborative battle in the tunnel.

"Yongzi!! She's in danger!!"

Yingdalang and Yexiao, who walked into the tunnel, finally felt the source of the discomfort. The Baoyue Eiko behind them was replaced by a pitiful evil spirit with her face peeled off, revealing the muscle fibers and tendons under the skin. She attacked Yingdalang desperately, trying to turn all the people who entered the tunnel into miserable undead like her.

Of course, this level of evil spirit attack is nothing to the two of them. If they don’t even encounter this kind of thing in this tunnel, they will start to wonder if they have gone to the wrong place.

The evil spirit lying on the ground wailing mentioned some crucial information, but Baoyue Yexiao did not have so much time to analyze it. She clearly saw that the legs of the doll used as a substitute had been chopped off, which meant that Baoyue Yongzi had suffered an attack that was strong enough to cut off her legs. Even if it was to prevent her from having to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of her life, they had to speed up.

"It was replaced in the tunnel, right?!"

Although Ying Duolang was asking questions, his tone was full of confidence. He finally understood what that abrupt feeling was at that moment. It was obvious that at that moment, before the reflector that inexplicably shattered, their companion was replaced.

"It should be, Ying Duolang, we have to hurry, otherwise..."

Baoyue Yexiao ran without hesitation, and the tunnel soon reached the end. In front of the door covered with bloody handprints, the huge evil spirit with a face pulled from an unknown victim, holding an axe in his hand, slowly dragged Baoyue Yongzi into the darkness behind the door, and even looked back at the two people provocatively and hooked his finger.

But before it completely disappeared into the darkness, a gunshot suddenly rang out, and the evil spirit suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm. The bullet actually hit its body, causing damage to it.

"Roar!!!"

The evil spirit that had been unilaterally killing and torturing humans since its birth felt humiliated for the first time at the hands of humans. It roared angrily but a cunning light flashed in its eyes. It chopped down Baoyue Yongzi beside it with the huge axe. It knew that this would definitely work. The emotions between humans would make them make irrational decisions. It had verified this rule on many humans.

Three more gunshots were heard. The axe that it was chopping at the woman it had captured was bounced off by the bullets, but it became even more excited. This meant that these humans were definitely going to save her. So if it only needed to set traps around this female human, the others would be nothing more than a bunch of toys waiting to be played with by it.

"It looks like the situation is not optimistic... Should I go and rescue the people while you deal with the evil spirit, or should I hold it back while you rescue the people?"

The sudden appearance of Uesugi Sumiya did not surprise Yingduolang and Yexiao. Compared with the elusive Uesugi Sumiya, the gunshots just now surprised them more.

"Let's go save them. I'll take care of the rest..."

Baoyue Yexiao made the decision in an instant. Uesugi Cheng's power was definitely enough to deal with the cunning evil spirit. Even if he couldn't kill it, he wouldn't be killed by it.

"I understand. You have to hurry up, otherwise..."

Uesugi Cheng did not continue speaking, and Baoyue Yexiao did not know for a moment whether he meant that the evil spirit could not be solved or that the evil spirit might die very quickly.

"I see... then let's go!"

The three people divided into two groups and entered the tunnel gate. The interior of the huge tunnel was pitch black, with only the light from the flashlight serving as a source of light. The accumulated water under their feet made every step of the three people make a sound.

"Eyes... eyes are!!"

Ying Duolang, who had the strongest inspiration, instantly felt that his eyes seemed to be a little uncomfortable. He looked at the puppet, only to find that the puppet's eye sockets had been pulled open, as if someone wanted to remove his eyeballs in the most brutal way.

Ying Duolang screamed in fear and ran forward immediately. Baoyue Yexiao glanced at the expressionless Uesugi Cheng behind him, nodded, and followed immediately, leaving Uesugi Cheng alone to stare at the evil spirit in front of him who was almost two people tall, holding a bloody axe, wearing a human face and showing a disgusting smile.

"shooting."

Before the evil spirit understood what Uesugi Cheng meant, it felt a sharp pain in its body. It suddenly discovered that there were several blood holes on its body and blood was flowing out.

"Round two, shoot!"

As his tone rose, a second round of gunfire rang out. The interval was so short that even if the evil spirit was cunning and smart enough, it could only barely understand what was happening.

A group of evil spirits with guns appeared around Uesugi Cheng. They were wearing military uniforms and holding guns made of spiritual power. They attacked the dead enemies in the way they were best at in life.

"Kill!! You!!"

The evil spirit roared and appeared behind Uesugi Sumiya almost instantly, wanting to chop off Uesugi Sumiya's head with an axe.

But to its surprise, its attack, which should have been foolproof, was blocked by guns. There were two evil spirits standing between it and Uesugi Cheng. They used the guns in their hands to block the attack, even though the two weapons were already howling under the heavy burden and looked like they would break at any time.

Next, multiple parts of its body were pierced by the soldiers with knives. It could clearly feel the pain that made it irritated. These individual spirits were no match for it at all, but when their numbers increased, it did find it difficult to deal with them, especially since there was someone directing its actions.

So it made a decision to kill the two who ran fast first, and then bring their corpses and tormented souls back here to intimidate the guy in front of it, whom it subconsciously did not want to be hostile to.

"Report, the enemy has already fled, do we need to pursue them?"

The soldier spoke to Uesugi Cheng, who had not moved a step from beginning to end. This time he did not take action himself, but wanted to try out the evil spirit army he had just obtained. Although it seemed that their individual combat capability was not strong enough, they were absolutely excellent in teamwork and obedience to command.

"Come with me and take our new weapons. That guy's ability... looks a little weird. Don't be careless."

Uesugi Cheng spoke, this evil spirit was indeed not strong, but it was just right as an enemy for training. Upon hearing the order, the soldiers immediately put down their guns, and then picked up the new weapons mentioned by Uesugi Cheng, preparing to give a surprise to the evil spirit that was so arrogant that it directly attacked their commander.

251

Chapter 251: Sergeant, go to battle.

Baoyue Yexiao saw the scapegoat whose eyes had been gouged out and thrown into the water like a toy. The evil spirit not only liked to kill humans, it also wanted to torture their souls after death and make these souls serve as its minions and bring more humans to it. Just when Baoyue Yexiao wanted to say something, the sound of the axe breaking through the air forced her to shout instead.

"Hina Doran, get down quickly!!"

The giant axe swept across Ying Duolang's head. Before being killed, Ying Duolang subconsciously lay on the ground to avoid the attack. He looked up and met the face of the evil spirit, which looked even more frightening with the heavy breathing under the skin. It smiled at Ying Duolang. Compared with the strange human who could drive the evil spirit, the two humans here, one big and one small, were more in line with its impression.

“Run forward!!”

Baoyue Yexiao held the graduate doll tightly, but she knew that she must not release the graduate inside the doll here, otherwise they would fall into an irretrievable situation together with this evil spirit.

Fortunately, the evil spirit seemed to think that Uesugi Cheng could not reach the depths so quickly, so it slowed down its pace, wanting to torture the intruder for a while longer.

"Hina Doran...Hina Doran..."

As Hotarou listened to the sounds that seemed to be getting closer and closer, layer upon layer, hope ignited. He seemed to have found where Yoko was.

He did find Hozuki Eiko, but her hands and feet were tied up and her mouth was taped...

Wait, since Houyue Yongzi's mouth has been sealed, then who is calling him...

With a bad premonition, Ying Duolang moved his neck left and right. The walls of the tunnel, which seemed to have no end, were covered with all kinds of faces. There was no doubt that those were the faces that the murderous evil spirit had peeled off the victims' bodies and nailed them here to torture them forever.

"Stay...stay..."

Although they had no vocal cords, the faces were still opening and closing their mouths, making the layers of sounds that Hotarou heard. He finally understood what he had heard, but now there was no time left to be afraid. He had to take Hozuki Eiko away from here immediately. For some reason, Uesugi Sumiko failed to hold back the evil spirit, so he had to escape from the evil spirit's pursuit.

"Yongzi! Listen to me, I will take you out, for sure!"

He carried the tied-up Hozuki Eiko on his back, and after confirming that she was not a disguised evil spirit, he immediately strode towards the evil spirit holding an axe. The other end of the tunnel was undoubtedly a dead end, and even if it was not a dead end, those painful faces would never sit idly by and watch a living person like him escape like this, so it was better to take a gamble, betting that Yexiao could temporarily repel it, or betting that Uesugi Cheng could come to save them.

Anyway, the only outcome of losing is death, so Ying Duolang's mentality gradually stabilized. After putting his life on the gambling table, his mind became a little clearer.

"Hina Doran! Run!"

Baoyue Yexiao waved the doll. Although he could not release the graduate, the doll that housed the graduate was itself a weapon, and there were seals and talismans on it that were specially reinforced by Uesugi Cheng.

Seeing Baoyue Yexiao and Huandenghe Yingduolang pass through its obstruction and run towards the tunnel exit on the other side, the evil spirit finally felt a little impatient. It didn't want to fight with those soldiers, but it didn't want to let its prey escape even more.

The short tunnel seemed so long in the eyes of Hotarou. The Hozuki Eiko on his back seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, or his physical strength seemed to be consumed abnormally quickly.

"Keep running! You're almost there."

Uesugi Sumika's voice sounded like the sound of nature to him. He looked up and saw many dark shadows standing behind Uesugi Sumika. Looking closely, he saw those soldiers standing firmly behind Uesugi Sumika, with murderous intent in their eyes as if it were instinct. These evil spirits who were the embodiment of obsession and died on the battlefield maintained the best combat condition.

With the momentum as if to cut off all obstacles, the evil spirit suddenly appeared behind Ying Duolang. It was determined to kill the two men no matter what. As long as it killed them, even if it was injured, it could recover quickly by eating their flesh and blood.

Thinking of this, its already huge body swelled up again, and the axe in its hand was like a toy, but the next second, a light from nowhere hit its face, and the dazzling light made it swing its axe away, and it missed the best opportunity. Baoyue Yexiao successfully ran behind Uesugi Cheng with Hotarou, who was carrying Baoyue Eiko, and ran towards the exit of the tunnel without looking back.

"The tunnel is clear, let's start what you used to do on the battlefield..."

Uesugi Cheng waved his hand, and two soldiers holding flamethrowers stepped forward. The flamethrowers were clearly made of spiritual power, but they actually sprayed out intense orange-yellow flames. The moment they touched the evil spirits, they began to burn fiercely. The pain brought to the evil spirits by the burning flames made the soldiers smile with satisfaction. They seemed to be back on the battlefield, invincible under the leadership of their commander.

"Kill you!!!"

The evil spirits ignited by the flames roared in pain and waved their axes recklessly. Uesugi Cheng stopped when he saw that he had gained an advantage. He didn't want his newly acquired soldiers to die in such a battle where there shouldn't be casualties. They could easily pass through the level without any casualties from these evil spirits, and besides...

Uesugi Cheng turned around and saw Baoyue Yexiao waving at him at the entrance of the tunnel, then pointed to the doll in her other hand. She was ready to release the graduates. If she wanted to subdue the evil spirits, she had to make them surrender willingly or unable to resist. If Uesugi Cheng defeated the evil spirits alone, even if she got the evil spirits, the other party would most likely only cause trouble for her, so she had to help.

"retreat."

With a brief command, the soldier who had just increased his firepower turned around without any reluctance and entered Uesugi Cheng's scroll. Listening to the evil spirit's crazy roar and the sound of it gnawing on the scapegoat, Uesugi Cheng did not leave the tunnel immediately. He was still stimulating the evil spirit's nerves to ensure that it would definitely walk out of the tunnel and have a decisive battle with them outside the empty tunnel.

"Hey, did Uesugi-sama really give it to me?"

Baoyue Yexiao was somewhat happy. She did not expect that Uesugi Cheng would actually give this prey to her. It was obvious that if those evil spirit soldiers were allowed to fight according to the rules, the opponent would not be their match at all.

"In that case, we must not embarrass ourselves... Sergeant, are you ready?"

The one who responded to Baoyue's midnight snack was the raccoon cat doll that shed tears of blood.

252

Chapter 252: The unsuspecting Uesugi Sumire.

Uesugi Sumire left the tunnel, and the furious roars behind him never stopped. The evil spirit soon chased him out, with traces of burns still on its body. Although new skin quickly replaced the wounds, the burnt smell and the evil spirit's obvious weakening appearance showed that the flamethrower's attack was definitely not meaningless.

Of course, Baoyue Yexiao would not miss this precious opportunity. She thought about it and threw the raccoon doll she was carrying into the sky. The doll flew into the sky and suddenly stopped. Tears of blood began to flow from its eyes, and a blood array like a pupil was instantly formed on the ground.

"Die in battle, you martyred sergeant in the prison of ghosts."

Uesugi Sumiko touched his head and thought that Baoyue Yexiao was indeed still a girl or a young girl. Uesugi Sumiko had only seen such appearance words in comics.

The evil spirit in military uniform and holding a Japanese sword appeared in the center of the mysterious blood pattern with a ferocious aura, and raised the sword towards the guy holding an axe opposite him.

"If you have the guts, come and peel off my skin."

The axe collided with the long sword, and it was obvious that the sergeant was using all his strength, but it was completely unable to cause any hindrance to the sergeant who was only holding the sword with one hand. No matter how many times he swung the axe, it was blocked.

"Come and kill me... Come on."

The sergeant's strong body instantly became thin like a deflated ball. He pulled out the dagger from his body, and the evil spirits that died in his hands crawled out from the ground. The mysterious pattern began to deform, and the extended red silk threads wrapped around the sergeant's body.

"Hurry! The sergeant is about to start unleashing his powers... I'll explain to you while you run."

Baoyue Yexiao saw that the pattern became more complicated and knew that the sergeant was about to start releasing his power or curse, so he pulled Ying Duolang and started running immediately.

"Hold this for me, I may not be able to run fast enough."

The scroll fell into Baoyue Yexiao's hands. She looked back at Uesugi Cheng who had not moved at all, and finally turned back and started running towards the end of the tunnel.

"Let me see, why can't you die?"

Uesugi Cheng simply found a place to sit down. There were many records about the so-called immortality in the books in the Silent Bookstore, but this was the first time he had seen someone who could achieve immortality without the power of any immortal.

"Even though he's dead, his soul still has that super-fast recovery ability? No... Is it actually the recovery ability of his soul that affects his body?"

Uesugi Cheng carefully took out the notebook and began to deduce and think. Both sides on the battlefield had no time and energy to pay attention to him.

"Come...kill me."

The thin man was holding a saber, and he seemed to have returned to the battlefield where he had fought to the death. As he spoke, malicious curses fell equally on every person and evil spirit within the pattern. The evil spirit holding the axe instantly became thinner.

"The ghost sergeant is not actually an evil spirit, so his ability is more like a 'wish' than a 'curse', praying for someone to kill him... He died in the battlefield, and relied on his super recovery ability to leave the hellish battlefield and spend his old age at home, but after his death he found that he could not become a Buddha, and was even haunted by the evil spirits of the enemies he killed in his lifetime. The ghost sergeant I met half a year ago was sitting on his own tombstone in the cemetery."

Baoyue Yexiao said a long string of words in one breath, which made Ying Duolang sigh that he was really too weak. He couldn't even match the physical strength of a little girl, who could still run and talk at the same time.
