Chapter 49: Refuge

The clear voice pierced the night sky and sounded in the quiet alley, startling the sky and the moon, and the people on the ground.

A hideous girl who is thin and has a strong demonic aura, turning around mechanically.

Then, Uesugi Kiyoshi saw that there were violent emotional fluctuations in those indifferent and ruthless eyes.

He didn't care what Fujimura Chiba's mood was, he just stepped and approached the messy scene.

In the footsteps, Fujimura Chiba's expression seemed to be distorted with force.

The wound on her face was still oozing blood, and the blood was dripping on her simple clothes, smudged like a red rose, blooming in the moonlight.

"Don't come here... Don't come here! ”

The girl covered her head, buried her head low, and tore her hair, and the back of her head, like a snake, with a bloody mouth, danced a little wildly.

Uesugi Kiyoshi opened his mouth to himself.

"I never thought of murder as a capital offense – it could be the feeling of inflatability from power, and I always felt that life and death were commonplace."

"Every time I go on a mission, it can be regarded as licking blood from the knife edge and gambling with my life."

"As for these scumbags..."

"You shall not live."

"They approached you, bullied you, were infected by the demonic energy in your body, became irrational, tried to violate you, caused your demonization, and finally died at your hands, and those accomplices were also seriously injured and dying."

"It's called a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is unpleasant."

"In my opinion, you are self-defense, and it is better to kill."

"The law doesn't recognize this truth, but I admit it."

"But what, Fujimura-san."

"If you eat these people in your stomach... That's not the same thing. ”

"I can't get used to it, I don't recognize it."

"It's like I can't get used to seeing them bullying you during the day."

The words fell, and Uesugi Kiyoya walked in front of Chiba Fujimura.

He stood there defenselessly, his expression calm, and his words were not exhorting, but flat, telling only a fact.

Uesugi Kiyoshi had a hard time discerning whether Chiba Fujimura had listened to him.

Because the girl's eyes in front of her have been occupied by a blood-red color, which is extremely demonic.

"I called you... Don't come here! ”

The suppressed roar coming from the throat and eyes, like the girl's last accusation, was a little shocking.

After a while, Chiba Fujimura raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Apricots.

There was a flash of unwillingness in her eyes, and then she was overshadowed by the ferocity of a beast.

"Apricot senpai... Please... Don't come here, don't look at me..."

"I... I..."

"I must be ugly now..."

"I'm an alien, I'm a monster..."

"I am a bad omen, I will harm the people around me!"

"Dad, Mom..."

"I...."

The girl was already incoherent.

It's just that there is a tone of hope, hoping that Apricot will not witness her ugly state now, and will not see the scene of her abusing and killing those bad ones.

Seeing this, Uesugi Kiyoshi couldn't help but be slightly moved.

He sighed and glanced sideways at the apricots.

Kyoko looked at Fujimura Chiba at this time, but there was no fear in her eyes, but pity and sympathy.

She is always like this, she can't see others suffering, let alone her former juniors.

"It seems... Fujimura really likes you, Kyoko. ”

"She doesn't want you to see her like this... She cares a lot about how she looks in your heart. ”

"It's a good thing she's not a man, otherwise I'd be jealous."

Kyoko looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi a little anxiously, bit her lip, and begged: "Uesugi-kun, save Chiha, you must have a way!" ”

Nohara Kyoko is unreserved, blind trust to Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Even one day, Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly said to Kyoko, "Kyoko, I'm an alien." ”

She would naturally reply, "Ah, it turns out that Uesugi-kun is an alien." Then continue to do laundry, cook for him, and take care of the housework.

So in this kind of crisis, she also blindly felt that Uesugi Kiyoshi would definitely be able to solve these problems.

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at Fujimura Chiba with a little unbearable in his eyes.

He could see that the girl had been suppressing the demonic energy in her body, she was resisting, resisting and losing her mind, resisting and turning into a monster.

Otherwise, the moment she was demonized just now, her reason was overwhelmed, and she was afraid that she would slaughter those bad and too sisters in an instant, instead of only slaughtering one leader, and the rest were only seriously injured.

That's right, many people on the ground are actually still angry.

Uesugi Kiyoshi snorted and snapped his fingers.

In an instant, the rich mirage covered the bright moon in the sky, and it completely enveloped Fujimura Chiba.

Quietly, a huge thin ghost hand appeared out of thin air and smashed heavily beside Fujimura Chiba.

The thin girl was awakened and looked up a little dazedly.

She looked at the ghost hand that could never have been a human body, and her eyes were full of confusion.

"Alien, you're not the only one, why do you care so much?"

"Apricot, treat your little friend's injuries, it's not good to have a scar."

Apricot quickly agreed, took a step forward, stretched out her hands, and winced a little, but she still firmly stroked Fujimura Chiha's face.

"Chiba... It's okay. ”

"Fly away in pain~"

Under the gentle words, a turquoise fluorescence poured out from the palm of the apricot, covering the wound on the cheek of Chiba Fujimura.

It's like going back in time, the wounds gather, the flesh and blood squirm, the healing is instantaneous, and everything is as if nothing happened.

The wound on Fujimura's face disappeared.

This is the healing power of "Yingcao".

Heal wounds, heal souls, clear grass, vibrant.

Chiba Fujimura's consciousness seemed to be gradually clearing.

This is not the work of apricots, but the masterpiece of Kiyoshi Uesugi.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's current mental power is extremely strong, and he can sense many things that he couldn't feel before.

For example, he could feel that the inhuman state of Fujimura Chiba was all due to the sarcoma foreign body in the back of her head.

However, that thing has a symbiotic relationship with her, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, and it is extremely difficult to pull it out.

If you want to cure it radically, it is difficult, but it is very simple to slow down the invasion of demon power on Fujimura Chiba.

Scare and scare that sarcoma.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't even use the power of the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts, but only escaped the little purgatory qi that remained in the ghost hand of the Great River Mountain Ghost King, and the sarcoma was much more settled.

In short, it's scared.

In youkai, the law of the jungle eats the strong, and the level is like a food chain, much stricter than the human world.

When the mouse saw the cat, he wanted to run away.

The little monster, when he saw the Purgatory Ghost King, he wanted to bow down to him.

Otherwise...

It's just that the soul is gone.

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at Chiwa Fujimura, didn't talk nonsense, and spoke straightforwardly.

"In your current condition, I'll give you two options."

"First, I'll help you cut the back of your head off - I'm not entirely sure."

"My swordsmanship is good, but that thing seems to have coexisted with you for many years, and it has been inseparable, even if I forcibly strip the two of you, you have a high probability of dying - seventy percent of the chance."

"There's a 70 percent chance you're going to die."

"The second type..."

"Live as a youkai."

"As you can see, you, me, and even Apricot are not pure human anymore."

"There's nothing wrong with that, is it?"

"As for the thing behind your head eroding your will, I have a solution, you don't have to pay any excessive price, you can leave it to me, I can handle it."

"Now."

"Choose."

It may be that the amount of information is too huge, and Fujimura Chiba has been stunned.

It wasn't until Kyoko held her hand encouragingly that she reacted.

"Apricot senpai... You..."

She looked at the fluorescence on Apricot Hand, and the huge ghost hand that Uesugi Qing evoked, giving her a strong sense of oppression, and opened her mouth wide, but she still couldn't dispel the astonishment in her heart.

However, after the surprise, an inexplicable happiness arose spontaneously in my heart.

"I see..."

"I'm not alone."

"Apricot senpai... Also..."

"Thanks... Thank you. ”

Incoherently, Fujimura Chiha's eyes were red, and he almost didn't cry.

Apricot hugged her knowingly and patted her shoulder gently, like coaxing a child.

"Chiba-chan, it's okay."

"Uesugi-kun will help you."

"In my heart, Qianyu-chan will always be Qianyu-chan, not a monster, not an alien."

"Chiba-chan is a girl like me."

Apricot comforts others with very ordinary techniques, clumsy words, but sincere.

Chiba Fujimura couldn't hold back any longer, and whimpered and cried in Kyoko's arms.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was left to the side, looking a little embarrassed.

However, he was thick-skinned and didn't care too much, so he glanced at his mouth and began to wonder how to deal with the trouble on Chiwa Fujimura.

His general plan was...

Use the power of "faith" to suppress the demonization on Fujimura Chiba's body, and then let this little girl try to master this power.

The key to this is faith.

Uesugi Kiyoshi is not the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering.

He didn't want to waste the power of faith that Fujimura had accumulated so hard, he had a better idea.

Let Fujimura Chiba belong to his hundred ghosts.

Uesugi Kiyoshi can conclude that the sarcoma on Chiba Fujimura's head is probably the legendary "second girl".

The second mouth is a well-known monster in Japan, the legend is that the child who died unjustly is resentful, the position of the second mouth is on the back of the neck, this mouth is longer than the front mouth, you can eat several times the amount of things, usually the mouth is covered by hair, when there is no one, if there is food in front of you, it will use the hair as a tentacle, and eat the food.

This kind of monster is very common.

The Collectibles Guild has contained similar yokai in the past, just in the last few years.

The combat power of this youkai is very average - Uesugi Kiyoshi doesn't expect a little girl to have much combat power, as long as she can provide faith, it is enough.

Now Uesugi Kiyoshi has a sense of urgency from the heart.

He was anxious to recover all his memories, to awaken all the divine powers of the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts, to ... Find that potential, unspeakable enemy.

Uesugi Kiyoshi is pondering her thoughts, and the bitter love drama between the two little girls over there is nearing the end.

Chiwa Fujimura wiped a handful of tears and finally moved her gaze to Uesugi Kiyoshi.

There was lingering fear in her eyes when she looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi.

I don't know why, from the first time he saw this man during the day, he had a sense of panic.

For example, it is like living in the same room with a tiger, and you may become his appetizer at any time, and life and death are between his thoughts.

It's no wonder she's not to blame.

The "two girls" on Fujimura Chiba are not born and have a lot of origins, but they are not a big monster who can get on the stage after all.

But youkai are monsters after all, and they are extremely sensitive to demonic energy.

What kind of demonic energy does Uesugi Kiyoshi have?

The ghost king of the great rivers and mountains, the lord of the barren river, the lord of the story of a hundred things, needless to say, shouting these three names can make countless monsters flee when they hear the wind.

Not to mention, he also has the power that is gradually waking up, belonging to the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts - that "Narujin Sword Qi", even the gods can be slaughtered, a little monster, of course, will be like a man's back, and he will not be able to live in peace.

"Uesugi ... Predecessor. ”

"Please, please help me..."

"I don't want to die... I don't want to give up this power either..."

"I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, it wasn't my intention to hurt people just now, but if I do it again when I'm conscious, I..."

"I'll do the same..."

"I've had enough."

Chiba Fujimura lowered her eyes and gritted her teeth.

Then, she jerked her head up, her eyes blood-red, as if they were burning with flames.

"I... Enough is enough! ”

She repeated, her small hands clenched into fists, and she bowed heavily to Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"It doesn't matter if you are greedy for life or afraid of death, or if you are reluctant to rely on this [power]."

"I choose the second method you said."

"It doesn't matter if you become a monster or a monster... I don't want to be the one who was bullied..."

"Please, help me."

"I understand, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and I will not be comfortable receiving your favor, no matter what the cost, even if it is my life, as long as I can afford it... I'm willing to give. ”

In this sentence, it can be seen that Fujimura Chiba is much more ripe than the original apricots.

This is the attitude of asking people to do things - whether others care or not, whether you say it or not, it is two different things.

This gesture is placed here, and Uesugi Kiyoshi feels a lot more comfortable.

It seems that this is a sensible child.

That's...

Give her a new lease of life.

"What do I want your life for... I need your... Faith. ”

Hearing this, Fujimura Chiha's heart was shocked, and he subconsciously showed an expression of disgust.

As soon as Uesugi Kiyoshi thought about it, he understood that this kid was ruined because of the demagoguery of the cult, and I am afraid that he would hate any church and faith.

He didn't care so much, he just kept talking.

"I've heard about you..."

"Don't be afraid that I'll be a liar who cheats money and sex..."

"That's it, the choice is yours."

"If you're willing to give up your faith and believe in the gods behind me..."

"The trouble in the back of your head is just a small thing."

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't deceive people, if Fujimura Chiba successfully entered the Hundred Ghost Scroll, her life and death would be controlled by Uesugi Kiyoshi, and it would be easy to suppress a chaotic demonic aura.

This little girl, who is not very old, but has experienced many vicissitudes, tasted the warmth and colds of life, and the ups and downs, did not hesitate for too long.

It was only a few seconds later that she nodded firmly.

"I understand..."

"You are different..."

"I would like to take refuge... Please take it in. ”
