Chapter 8: Apricots and Grass
Uesugi Liquidation is a top student.
Xueba's association and thinking expansion abilities are generally very good.
He understood the parable of the drunken boy just now—if the believers reached a certain number, they would be able to temper their souls more tenaciously and thus avoid sinking, which is probably what it meant.
Well... It is not difficult to understand that through "faith", the soul of the "gods" is strengthened.
When you think about it, the reason why the gods need the prayers of the believers to come down can also be deduced - because it will make their souls stronger enough to break through the shackles of dream mirrors and reality.
The only thing that caused Uesugi to think deeply was that sentence.
Sinking is the wind and rain in the sea, from the sea beasts that stir up the wind and waves, or the moody sky.
The sea beast that stirs up the wind and waves can be understood as a ghost and god who is eyeing the tiger.
The moody sky... What does it mean?
He always felt that this sentence was full of deep meaning.
Also, shake her... Do you really know everything about the gods?
Otherwise, I'd better ask tomorrow...
Uesugi Kiyoshi can't stand this feeling of suspicion the most, and he always feels like a cat's claw scratching in his heart, which is extremely uncomfortable.
When he came back from his contemplation, he turned his attention to Kyoko Nohara in front of him.
At this time, Nohara Kyoko was secretly observing the murals around the Mirage Building, and his attention was focused on the self-portrait of Uesugi Kiyoshi dressed in a Wu suit, with a knife at his waist and a mysterious smile on his face.
There is also a girl who wears a light blue yukata and looks like her.
For some reason, when she saw this picture, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl, and her mood became very happy.
Maybe it's... Why is it with Uesugi-kun? Although it's just a portrait.
But just see this scene.
Whether it's those vicious monsters, or the bizarre sights.
It doesn't matter anymore.
There was no place for anything else in her eyes.
The fantasy of the Kyoko Nohara girl was somewhat brutally broken by Kiyoshi Uesugi.
Uesugi Kiyoshi struggles to organize the language, trying to explain to Kyoko Nohara the transcendental, the ghosts, the dream mirror, and the gods.
However, halfway through, he saw Nohara Kyoko's undisguised dazedness, so he simply gave up.
Forget it, what am I doing with all this trouble?
That's an apricot.
Reorganizing his thoughts, Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled shallowly and changed his tone to a relaxed tone.
"Apricot, this is my secret base, and I just invited you to be a guest."
"You know, I have a lot of unusual abilities."
"Ignore that red-haired monster, just treat him as if he didn't exist."
"There may be more guests coming here in the future, is Kyoko going to stay here to help me?"
Nohara Kyoko nodded frantically.
There was more of a small joy in her heart.
Uesugi-kun invited me to such an important place... Didn't you see me as an outsider?
She didn't think about where this was, how she came here, and who the ghost king was just now.
Whatever Uesugi Kiyoshi said, she believed it, and then obediently followed Uesugi Kiyoshi's meaning, without the slightest idea of disobedience.
Kyoko Nohara has all the qualities of a traditional Japanese woman, simple, gentle, hardworking, and centered on the person she likes, even if she is isolated from the whole world.
These are not necessarily worth advocating in today's society, but they are very pleasing.
At least Kiyoshi Uesugi likes it very much.
Seeing Nohara Kyoko following her softly, with her head down, blushing, and not speaking, obviously entering the state of a shy little daughter-in-law, Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled a little helplessly, touched her chin, looked at the statue, and began to wonder how to maximize the effect of this thing.
If Kyoko Nohara can come in... Then most of the people who have the demon soul on their backs can also be pulled into the mirage building by him.
In order to test this idea, he once again fell into a state of soul harmony and re-entered the sea of gods.
This time, he carefully discerned the thoughts transmitted from the light of the stars.
There are really a lot of acquaintances.
There is no doubt that there are Dongwen Zhenxi and Liu Longren, these two people with demon souls.
However, the light of Dongwen Maki is a faint milky white, and Liu Longren's is orange-yellow, Uesugi Kiyoshi felt it, as long as he wanted to, I am afraid that he could easily pull these two into his dream mirror.
Instead of trying, he began to sense the reddish stars.
Thoughts sink like stones into the sea, and nothing is found.
He didn't drill the horns, but quickly shifted the target, and began to sense the stars in detail.
As the wine swallowing boy said, the silk thread of faith is the strongest, and it looks unusual, and they are basically transcendent.
There are quite a few acquaintances.
Thanks to the demon soul's Dongwen Zhenxi, Liu Longren, and Xiao Xingzi.
It should be Yuichi Kudo, Ryunosuke Akutagawa, and even Osamu Dazai, who is faint but does exist, - Uesugi Kiyoshi has only had a relationship with him, but the inconspicuous silk thread does exist.
Counting further down, there are a lot of them, the two knives of the Tobunkai, those members of the Tobunjue personal guard, the yakuza who has seen the power of Uesugi Kiyoshi, the Ueno Sanshi who has followed him recently, and even a few days ago, he and Towen Maki showed a hand, shocking the source society, and by the way, a few bad teenagers who were suppressed.
From dazzling to dim, countless shining threads weave into a tight and pervasive web, as if enveloping the universe in it.
Calm down, calm down.
The eyes opened, and the starlight shone into them.
In just a moment, the somewhat huge chaotic thoughts were going to drive Uesugi Kiyoshi crazy.
He had no doubt that if he opened his heart and accepted the thoughts of all the creatures in the sea of stars, he would definitely be shocked into an idiot in a second.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Kyoko Nohara's exclamation.
He hurriedly looked back and saw a scene that surprised him.
Orange, blue, cyan glow, alternating on Nohara apricots.
She was standing in front of the mural of the Hundred Ghost Scroll, facing the portrait of "Yingcao" on it.
In an instant, the portrait of Yingcao on the scroll of the hundred ghosts disappeared without a trace.
Nohara Kyoko's pretty face was a little panicked, and the original home clothes were changed into a well-fitting yukata in the brilliance.
It's exactly the same as the Yingcao that Uesugi Kiyoshi saw in the Hyakki Picture Scroll before, and it's not bad at all.
Uesugi Kiyoshi took a few steps forward in a bit of a hurry.
When he came to Nohara Kyoko's side, his face became strange.
He felt a burst of life, an abundance of power, and a mirage like substance.
It just corresponds to Yingcao's ability to condense the Baiwen card as a monster.
He was stunned for a moment, looked at Nohara Kyoko with complicated eyes, and then looked at the statue on the steps of ascending to the gods, and exhaled a turbid breath.
"I see..."
"How does this thing work with the Hundred Ghost Scroll?"
