"I can provide you with shelter, food, and no trouble for the police, and I can get hot weapons."

"I can provide all of these for free."

"I want you to help me kill someone--Yuichi Kudo, I want him to die."

"How? He is your enemy, too! ”

"It's a win-win deal, what's there to hesitate about?"

This name is no stranger to Gen Hiroki on the other side of the phone, and the underworld and the police world have an entangled close relationship.

When the Genkai tree fell and the macaque dispersed, it was the Kudo family that added fuel to the fire, and many members were arrested, crowned with charges that were not wronged, but were once ignored, and were imprisoned, which became the merit of many cadres of the Kudo faction who climbed up.

Hearing the obvious heartbeat and hesitation in the breath of the person on the other side of the phone, Ryosuke Yamamoto added to the fire.

"I saw Towen's sword ghost today, he has a close relationship with Yuichi Kudo, and the two of us have the same purpose."

"Think about it! Now that you're all street rats in Tokyo, can you help... I'm the only one! ”

After a longer silence, the heavy breathing of the man on the other side of the phone gradually became lighter, as if a decision had been made.

"Master Yamamoto, I can't promise you."

"I'll tell you the truth, young master... It's coming back. ”

"Before the young master returns, our source society will all gather its wings and lie dormant."

"But... When the young master returns, I can mention your request to him—maybe we can join forces. ”

Ryosuke Yamamoto's expression moved, and he exclaimed, "Genqing is also coming back?" ”

"Good! I understand his character, how can he not avenge the revenge of killing his father! ”

"I'll just wait for you... Good news. ”

After hanging up the phone, Ryo Yamamoto's face changed several times, and finally laughed.

"Yuan Qing is also coming back..."

"Hmph, it seems to be a dutiful son..."

"Interesting, Yuichi Kudo, it's going to kill you!"

"Yuan Longhai, that miser, has saved money all his life, just to provide for his son's cultivation in the headquarters of the Genji in Kyoto, it is said that Yuan Qing also has a famous teacher to teach, practice sword cultivation and cultivate the mind, and he is already a skilled swordsman who can slash gods and ghosts with a sword!"

"If only he helped..."

After pondering for a moment, Ryosuke Yamamoto's face showed a hint of unwillingness.

"Damn, if I'm also transcendent... Why do you need a dummy?! ”

"Why... I don't have the qualifications? ”

"It's a... What an unfair world! ”

The world has never been fair.

If a mortal was bitten by that strange little snake, I am afraid that he would have died a long time ago, but Ueno Sanshi was treated in time, the expensive serum took effect quickly, and the operation led by the True Knower was in full swing, and Doctor Gu said that this old man, who was already quite old, was fine.

Outside the operating room of the Collectibles Association Headquarters, the Medical Department, Uesugi Kiyoshi was sitting on a bench, and after hearing the news, he was finally completely relieved.

The Ueno Hare was temporarily placed in the apartment by Nohara Apricot, and the Kyoko seemed to like children very much, and when she saw the Ueno Hare, her eyes glowed softly.

Uesugi Kiyoshi plans to wait until Ueno Mitsuishi's surgery is completed to see what happens, but he has some leisure right now.

He had rested long enough, frowned and thought for a while, and then he suddenly took out a book from the mirage building.

It was the "Tale of Edo Genji".

That's right, the fact that this book was included in the mirage floor shows that... This is at least a "ghost artifact".

Uesugi Kiyoshi opened the title page, and the object was a bookmark with a faint scent of sandalwood.

On the bookmark are Chinese characters with beautiful handwriting.

"You're looking for the three heroes of Genji, but I've only heard of the Genji Twins, so... The one that disappears should be the target you are looking for. ”

"I searched through the old books, but I found some clues, it seems that in the Genji of the Heian period, there was such a clan, which was rarely mentioned, and even the name and surname were not handed down, but from various traces, I can deduce that there was once such a person."

"This book, most likely, was written by him, but... The text on this... Some are illegible. ”

"Well, I can only do it for you~"

Looking at these lines, Uesugi Qing could almost imagine Li Fuyao's pretty smile.

He shook his head and smiled.

Then, when he turned the page, his smile froze.

He finally understood what Li Fuyao meant by "illegible".

It's just a ghost drawing!

Chinese, English, Japanese, Uesugi Kiyoshi is barely proficient in three languages, but this script is definitely not inferior to any of the three.

He even suspects... This is not "human" writing at all.

The handwriting is sinuous and the ink is deep, and the gray ink blot looks particularly dull on the pale yellow paper, which makes people look a little uncomfortable.

Kiyoshi Uesugi locked his eyebrows together.

What the hell?!

If this wasn't something Li Fuyao had given him, he even suspected that it was some child's prank.

But if this is what Li Fuyao sent him... He inexplicably has some trust.

That girl wasn't like someone who would joke about that.

Flipping through the pages aimlessly, without exception, the ghost drawing symbols, until the end of the page.

"Tsk... I had hope before, but I didn't get anything..."

Scratching his hair a little irritably, Uesugi Kiyoshi was about to put the book away and study it later, when he suddenly looked at the blurry ink on the last page of the book, which looked a little familiar.

Those lines are outlined, and the ink is smudged, as if... It's like a flame.

Burning flames...

Ghost fire?!

Uesugi Kiyoshi had an idea, and an idea uncontrollably emerged in his heart.

If the message contained in this book is a treasure...

So what will his key be?

The key to open the door lock made of these ghost drawings...

Could it be...

Ghost fire?!

His ghost fire comes from the Hundred Ghost Picture Scroll, and this book seems to be related to the owner of the Hundred Ghost Picture Scroll.

Thinking of this, Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes froze and became a little serious.

He took a deep breath and quietly lifted it, a faint mirage of smoke spread over him, and a subtle but conspicuous blue-blue flame suddenly appeared on his fingertips.

Then, the unthinkable happened.

The flame of the ghost fire moved slightly, as if it had been sucked by something, and made close contact with the pages of the book.

Immediately after, the ghost fire mirage in Uesugi Kiyoshi's body was uncontrollably infused into this book.

At the same time, the title page of the book also emits a faint fluorescence.

The six words of "Edo-Tokyo Story" quietly disappeared.

In its place is a somewhat lifelike picture.

A sword.
