Chapter Twenty-Nine: Strange Powers and Confusion

Maki Higashimi left in a hurry with Kasumi and Kagura, who was still unconscious.

Today's events seem to have had a great impact on this eldest lady, at least in Uesugi Kiyoshi's opinion, the momentum of Higashiwen Maki's whole person has changed a lot compared to when he first saw her.

The same cherry blossoms, the ornamental cherry blossoms that grow in the greenhouse, and the wild cherry blossoms that bloom in the wind and rain, are completely different.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't say anything more.

If you say that Dongwen Jue is a heroic character, he doesn't have any hole cards for Dongwen Zhenxi, he doesn't believe it.

Even if there is no shortage of gambling in the snake of Dongwen, but the life-saving things will definitely hide some for his daughter, Uesugi Kiyoshi has no time to care about her now, he has to do more important things.

Dong Wenjue started his business, relying on vertical and horizontal techniques, gathering the weak and resisting the strong, while making peace with the government, while frantically absorbing and strengthening his own strength, thus exchanging the opportunity for his power to expand rapidly.

Uesugi Kiyoshi wants to do something similar, he wants to deal with Dong Wenyu single-handedly, and it is as difficult as the sky.

But if you also play the trick of borrowing a knife to kill people, and you will destroy the current Dongwen Society, it is not a fantasy.

A month ago, he would not have dared to think that he also had so much "potential" to borrow.

There was no long wait, and about ten minutes later, Ryunosuke Akutagawa's black car had stopped at the entrance of the alley.

Given the current weather and road conditions in Tokyo, this is a very fast pace.

After signaling Kyoko Nohara and Rin Kamiizumi to get into the car, Kiyoshi Uesugi sat in the co-pilot's seat.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to trouble Akutagawa-san to take care of it, I'm in a place where I can't safely place them."

Ryunosuke Akutagawa is still wearing a somewhat deep suit top hat and a delicate black jade cane.

He smiled slightly, and the corners of his mouth were raised to indicate that he was in a good mood, and his tone was soft.

"It's okay, it's okay."

"The headquarters of the association is very safe, and in Tokyo, no [people] should dare to come to the headquarters of the association to make trouble."

"Gangsters can't do it, police can't do it."

"Even if it's the Shinsengumi and Heiankyo... No, it doesn't. ”

Ryunosuke Akutagawa said this very hard, and it was a bit of lawlessness.

However, if you think about it carefully, it shouldn't be bragging, a base camp with countless mortal "employees" as the foundation, a complete and huge transcendent organization, should be a hard break that no one dares to die.

But Uesugi Kiyoshi listened to the meaning of the sentence just now, and he thought about a different taste.

No "people" dare to make trouble...

Is there a "ghost"?

Interesting...

He didn't ask or dwell on the subject, but politely retorted a few polite words and thanked Ryunosuke Akutagawa - the field agents of the Collectibles Society still solved a lot of problems for him today.

Immediately, he changed his conversation and began to talk about business.

"Akutagawa-san, I've always had something unclear, I hope you can clear up my doubts, of course, if there's anything offended, please ask me if I haven't said it."

"You once told me that you and the ghost god enshrined behind the Twin Oni Group of the Dongwen Society... Got a grudge? ”

"Can you explain it to me in detail? About the demons and gods, and the hatred between you. ”

Ryunosuke Akutagawa was not surprised when he heard this question, and his expression did not have any obvious ups and downs, but he still maintained a decent smile.

He drove the car and was silent for a moment, as if organizing the language.

"It's not something worth keeping secret, and it doesn't hurt to tell Uesugi-kun."

"Uesugi-kun should have fought against the secret ritual under the command of the ghost god, as well as the ghost god who took the sacrifice, what do you think are their characteristics?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi pondered for a moment, recalling the Yokoda that died in his hands, the black suit, and the nine ghosts, and there was a faint guess in his heart.

"Let me say something... Beyond the physical fitness of ordinary people, very strong physical defense, extremely insensitive to pain, non-fatal injuries will not affect their movements, and the speed of injury healing is much faster than ordinary people. ”

"In general, some crazy and emotionless killing machines."

"Those cadres seem to have a good eye, and the Nine Ghost Chi can even accurately say my swordsmanship, which can't be done in a few years of kendo practice."

Ryunosuke Akutagawa nodded slightly, agreeing with Uesugi Kiyoshi's words.

"Yes, they are mad, violent, and have a great deal of strength and a strong body."

"They are the [Ghost Clan]."

"That [Strange Power and Confusion] ghost clan!"

In the Celestial Empire, when the word ghost is mentioned, a series of strange stories such as the souls of the dead, ghosts, and black and white impermanence may be reminiscent.

The ghosts of Japan and the ghosts of the Celestial Empire have different meanings.

There is also a difference between the "ghost clan" and the "ghost" in Japan.

The Japanese oni clan was described in ancient times as an ugly-looking, but possessed extraordinary strange powers, feeding on people, disobeying the emperor's authority, and being a monster in the world of cholera.

In modern times, the image of ghosts has gradually been fixed, they are very similar to human shapes, but there are horns on the head, the big mouth is cracked to the root of the ear, like naked, the waist is tied with tiger skin, like to eat humans, the legend says that the ghost clan has an immortal body, and the severed limbs can be healed as long as they are put back in place, and the weakness is that the head is cut off, and the ghost can't fight.

In the ears of Uesugi Kiyoshi, a Baiwen card player, after hearing the word "ghost clan", his first reaction was...

"The lord of the great rivers and mountains, the ghost king swallows wine?"

In an instant, many things were connected in his mind.

If he remembered correctly, on his picture scroll of the hundred ghosts, there was a drunk-swallowing boy who had strong wine in his throat and was screaming and singing.

Of course, the demon soul is crippled.

Whether it is in Japanese legends or in the background story of Baiwen Pai, this is a very powerful big monster, the leader of countless ghost clans in Dajiangshan, and a veritable ghost king of "strange power and chaos".

If the ghosts and gods behind the double ghost group are the ghost kings who swallow wine, then it makes a lot of sense.

Red ghosts and green ghosts also belong to the ghost clan, and when there is a change in the Yokoda, they have horns on their heads, which is in line with the characteristics of the ghost clan.

And in this way, the reason why they chose the Yokota family is obvious.

This ghost king swallows... I want a demon soul!

Nohara Kyoko has the demon soul of Yingcao on her body, and the demon soul is very important to Uesugi Kiyoshi, so the same... Will the demon soul also have a strong attraction to these monsters?

You must know that Dongwen Maki of the Dongwen Society is also burdened with demon spirits, and the wine swallowing boy chose the Dongwen Society to cooperate...

There's nothing greasy in this, Uesugi Kiyoshi definitely doesn't believe it.

The only thing that doesn't make sense is that if the enemy is really the ghost king of this world, then he should have nothing to do with Baiwen cards.

It was a famous monster in the Heian period in Japanese legends, the leader of the ghost clan, the most well-known demon king in the "Hundred Ghosts Night Walk", he was active in the great rivers and mountains of Tanba country, cut off the only way in and out of Kyoto, did evil, burned and looted, caused great trouble to the rulers at the time, and finally was retreated by the general Minamoto Yorimitsu, and was cut off by a sword.

If the wine swallowing boy still exists in this world, then he has lived for at least hundreds of years, and Uesugi Kiyoshi who just crossed a year ago should not be able to fight the eight poles.

Why would such a ghost king be interested in the demon soul of the Hundred Ghost Scrolls?

Is it only the wine swallowing boy who is interested in the demon soul, or can those ghosts and gods born from monsters sense the demon soul of Baiwen brand?

If it's the latter, it's a lot harder.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's thoughts raced, his brows furrowed, and although he understood the identity of the enemy, more confusion followed.
