In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

The girl stopped crying, raised her thin and trembling hands, and hugged Zhou Zhenyu as well.

At this moment, the sound of something opening was heard in the house, like an auditory hallucination.

However, the next moment, an extremely genuine smile appeared on Hoshino Yumeko's face, and it became more intense at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Uesugi Tetsu's pupils shrank slightly.

The scene before us is clearly lovers who have been separated for a long time meeting each other again. It is a very warm and beautiful scene.

He should have applauded and congratulated.

But compared to congratulations, Uesugi Tetsu felt more terrified at this moment.

—All of Hoshino Yumeko's negative emotions vanished in an instant. At the same time, she was filled with a surge of intense joy, happiness, and joy, all intertwined together...

This bizarre scene almost made Uesugi Toru step forward and separate the two immediately.

"Wait a minute. Don't alert the enemy until something happens that affects the outside world."

Taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down, Uesugi Tetsu thought to himself that this was definitely not a normal change in Hoshino Yumeko's mood.

It was more like...something was using her as a breeding ground for extreme emotions.

He quietly gazed at the couple in the ward who were hugging each other in tears and were about to be separated by life and death.

Uesugi Tetsu could feel the joy of reunion of Hoshino Yumeko when she saw her lover again before her death, and he could also see the pain of separation that Zhou Zhenyu was suppressing tightly.

Whether it is the joy of reunion or the pain of separation, they probably just become a handful of nutrients in the petri dish.

Love becomes an accelerant of death.

The changes he had just witnessed were the best evidence. Under such drastic and extreme emotional changes that were visible to the naked eye, Yumeko Hoshino might not even be able to see the sun tomorrow morning.

Uesugi Tetsu closed his eyes.

For the first time, he felt genuine anger and murderous intent.

Uesugi Tetsu's expression was calmer than ever before, and he just kept repeating the name word by word in his mind:

"Love is gone."

Please follow me, I will PK Sanjiang next week, please follow me orz

Chapter 67 Seeds, Poisonous Heart,

Without making a sound to disturb the two people in the ward, Uesugi Che silently walked into the empty safety passage.

There's no need to let them know about this.

Zhou Zhenyu and Hoshino Yumeko's life is too hard, so at least at this moment of joy, Uesugi Che really can't bear to break it.

He took out his cell phone and called Nanjo Aimi.

This time, Uesugi Che didn't have to call many times. Instead, the call was connected the moment the call page popped up.

Nanjo Ai's cold and restrained work voice came: "I'm working, let's make it short."

Uesugi Tetsu: "I encountered the 'seeds' sown by Ai Bieli, well, I guess you could say that."

After Shizuma Mafuyu's exclamation, the other end of the phone fell into a long silence.

Uesugi Tetsu waited patiently.

"Uesugi-kun, you really bring me a lot of surprises."

Nanjo Aimi's voice was no different from before, showing the good emotional management ability of a mature office worker.

But Uesugi Tetsu could hear a hint of unexpected surprise in it.

He was a little confused. He originally thought that after hearing the news, Nanjo Ai would just report it to her superiors and ignore it.

——Now it seems that this is not the case?

Nanjo Aimi: "Tell me more about the 'seed' you mentioned."

Uesugi Che quietly listened to the footsteps moving back and forth outside the emergency passage, and after a moment of thought, he said, "Wait a moment."

He rubbed his eyebrows, feeling that he had been a little careless.

Since Aibieli was able to use a person as a breeding ground for emotions without the Special Affairs Department knowing, it meant that she had a way to perfectly avoid detection while using these methods.

Then why did he think that there was no clone of love and separation in the sound of footsteps pacing back and forth in the corridor?

The worst case scenario was that everything he had just said to Nanjo Aimei was heard by Aibieli.

Coming alone to the locked rooftop door of the hospital, Uesugi Tetsu took out a crowbar and gently knocked on the door lock.

Click.

After a dull sound, the rusty chain and door lock were smashed into a pile of scrap metal.

"Sin, sin, sin."

After muttering to himself for a few words, Uesugi Tetsu walked to the abandoned hospital rooftop. After confirming that no one was following him, he continued speaking.

"I believe the so-called 'seed' is love and separation choosing a person, first drawing out all kinds of negative emotions in them, torturing them to the point of near-death, and then, in an instant, transforming those extreme negative emotions into extreme positive ones."

Uesugi Tetsu speculated: "As long as it is an extreme emotion that people have, whether positive or negative, it is what love and separation require."

After he finished speaking, Uesugi Tetsu could hear the rustling sound on the other end of the phone stop.

"This incident is indeed recorded in ancient documents," Nanjo Aimi said, "A thousand years ago during the Heian period, Aibieli did the same thing at least two generations ago."

"[Poisonous Heart]."

Nanjo Aimi's tone was unusually heavy: "The records once referred to this ability as Ai Bielie, but other than the fact that it was extremely dangerous, there were no further details."

"However, love and separation do not require so-called extreme emotions."

Nanjo Aimi: “It’s a process of emotional transformation.”

"—From the pain of separation to the joy of reunion, glimpsing the hope of life in absolute death, and falling into a meaningless nothingness just before redemption."

"The more intense, faster, and greater the magnitude of this process, the stronger the mind and spirit of the person being aroused will be. Love and separation will draw more strength from it, and the more poison will be planted in their hearts, and the cycle will continue."

Uesugi Toru remained silent for a long time.

"So, what about the results a thousand years ago?" he asked.

Nanjo Aimi sighed helplessly, "This part of the record was lost long ago. It's really a miracle that a small part of the file from a thousand years ago has survived until now."

Just when Uesugi Tetsu was about to hang up the phone, Nanjo Aimi's voice came again -

"Besides that, there's a two-star exorcism commission. Would you like to do it, Uesugi-kun?"

Exorcism commission?

Now?

For a moment, Uesugi Tetsu didn't understand Nanjo Aimi's train of thought. This was too different from the Ai Farewell incident.

He is not an employee of the Special Affairs Office, so why should he help the Special Affairs Office?

But Nanjo-san wouldn't talk nonsense during working hours, and she wouldn't do anything illogical, these two things are certain.

After more than ten seconds, Uesugi Che suddenly realized.

——The same disaster has come back after a thousand years. If there are any manpower that can be used, Nanjo Aimi will definitely use them all.

And what is the definition of "living force"? It's impossible to send a bunch of ordinary people to kill Ai Bieli and increase his strength for nothing.

Nanjo Aimi's definition of this is - two-star combat power.

"So, as long as you can complete a two-star exorcism commission on your own, it's fine. How you complete it, or whether you're at two stars or not, doesn't matter."

Uesugi Tetsu complained: "It's really hard to guess what the leader means."

"You know everything, don't you?" Nanjo Aimi smiled rarely. "I was just about to explain."

She continued, "But I also respect personal wishes. If you don't want to get involved in this, just ignore what I said."

"We'll decide whether to participate or not when the time comes." Uesugi Tetsu rubbed his hands beside the microphone of his phone. "For now, why don't we discuss the commission's compensation first."

"Ah."

Nanjo Aimi sneered: "Uesugi-kun, do you think that asking for payment unexpectedly will make me hesitate? Don't be naive, I expected this."

"[Spirit of the Jungle Fire]."

Nanjo Aimi explained, "Don't you have that imitation Kaga Kiyomitsu? It's a perfect match for this thing. You've heard of enchantments in games, right? After using this, you can make every sword strike blaze."

This is a well-known concept, so how could a strength lover like Uesugi Tetsu not be impressed by it?

"If you agree to the commission, I'll have Jingjian pick you up later, and the reward will be paid to you when she takes you to the car..."

"What time is it?"

Uesugi Tetsu interrupted her: "I'm at Fudao Hospital now. When will work start?"

"Jingjian will tell you the details of the commission in half an hour."

With a click, Nanjo Aimi hung up the phone, cleanly and neatly.

Uesugi Che put the phone back into his pocket expressionlessly, returned to the sixth floor of the hospital from the rooftop, and saw Zhou Zhenyu standing at the door of the ward.

He was slightly startled and had a vague premonition of something.

Shang Shanche walked closer quickly, but before he could speak, Zhou Zhenyu, with tears streaming down his face, turned to look at him.

"Mengzi has passed away..."

Zhou Zhenyu wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve. "But she left with a smile and told me a lot about the future."

"In that case, I will live on with Mengzi's expectations, climb up step by step, and make a name for myself!"

At this point, the deep sadness on Zhou Zhenyu's face had completely disappeared, and instead, in just a few seconds, a twisted and fanatical look appeared.

"Actually, I have to thank Mengzi for dying in my arms. If she hadn't woken me up, I might have continued to sink into despair..."

"Old Zhou!"

Uesugi Che couldn't stand it anymore and punched Zhou Zhenyu in the face.

Chapter 68: New grudges and old accounts, the green ghost attacks

Zhou Zhenyu fell heavily to the ground.

The nurse nearby saw this and immediately stepped forward to stop Uesugi Tetsu.

Shang Shan Che let them stand between him and Zhou Zhenyu. He just looked down at Zhou Zhenyu who was lying on the ground with an inexplicable trance.

"Are you more awake now, Lao Zhou?"

"me……"

Zhou Zhenyu recalled what he had just said and felt unbelievable.

He covered his face and murmured in pain and confusion: "Mengzi just passed away, how can I have the nerve to say such words?"

——It seems that Lao Zhou has come to his senses after being hit by his personality-correcting punch.

Uesugi Che breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the poison in the heart is extremely terrifying after it takes root and can make everyone who sees it shudder, it is not an unsolvable existence at least in the early stages after it is planted.

He just noticed that Zhou Zhenyu's mood became abnormal, so he tried to punch him to see if he could wake him up.

But...how did the poison spread? Zhou Zhenyu had only met with his ex-girlfriend for a dozen minutes.

Zhou Zhenyu shook his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and after sending three or two nurses away, he said, "I just felt that something was not right with me."

"It's okay." Uesugi Tetsu shook his head. "Old Zhou, you'd better hurry up and leave Tokyo. This place has been experiencing a lot of strange things lately."

Without asking why, Zhou Zhenyu nodded slowly: "Thank you."

"However, I really need to cheer myself up when I get back." Zhou Zhenyu said seriously after a long silence, "This is the end of one phase of my life, and also the beginning of another."

Shang Shanche smiled and said, "Then Lao Zhou, I wish you a safe journey."

The two walked side by side to the hospital entrance.

Uesugi Che stood there, and Zhou Zhenyu waved at him, turned around and walked towards the busy traffic, and disappeared in the steel jungle in the blink of an eye.

He stood there silently, waiting for Shizuma Mafuyu.
