Chapter Thirty-Eight: Coming to the Door

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked a little stunned, and the phantom of Yingcao flickered and disappeared, turning into a flying firefly streamer that ingested his eyebrows.

There was a shock in his mind, and he felt that there seemed to be something more in his mind, and as soon as he closed his eyes slightly, he condensed his mind and immediately stepped into the town of Hyakki.

In a hurry, Uesugi Kiyoshi pushed open the door of the mirage building and stepped into it.

With his arrival, hundreds of candlesticks faintly lit fireflies, illuminating the mirage building as if it were day.

On the wall facing the gate, the main seat of the Hyakki scroll, Uesugi Kiyoshi's self-portrait is dressed in a splendid Wu costume, draped in ink-colored feather weaving, with a sharp sword hanging from his waist, and his eyes are wide-eyed, a little more powerful than his real person--this self-portrait he has seen it a long time ago, and nothing has changed.

And right behind him, there was a black and white array of hundred ghosts.

Before, he had accumulated enough mirage to light up the picture scroll of the dog god, and now, in addition to the tall and mighty dog god, there was a little loli behind him.

He looks small and delicate, but his figure is explosive, wearing a white and green yukata, and the expression on his face is an open smile - the eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as Nohara Kyoko, completely different from the Yingcao in the previous game.

Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned, a little unclear, just when he wanted to communicate with Hyakki Eimaki to see what was going on, he suddenly felt a slight tremor in his body, and he was shocked, thinking that someone from the outside world was coming, his heart moved, and he opened his eyes.

Then he was a little embarrassed - was Nohara Kyoko still being held in his arms at this time, this little girl lowered her head, even the night could not hide the blush of her cheeks, and the trembling feeling that Uesugi Kiyoshi had just noticed was Nohara Kyoko trembling.

Nohara Kyoko's face was full of tears, she was hugged by Uesugi Kiyoshi, and she was touching her little head with one hand, if you don't know how passers-by look at it, I'm afraid you will think that this is a hooligan who robbed the people's daughter.

Uesugi Kiyoshi quickly let go of his hand, took a few steps back, and apologized in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, Apricot, I was rude..."

He was a little speechless, this was obviously taking advantage of the girl, and he couldn't find any excuse, so he could only apologize sincerely.

Nohara Kyoko lowered her eyes and shook her head vigorously, indicating that she didn't take it to heart - she was actually a little reluctant in her heart now, although she was a little shy and trembling just now, but Uesugi-kun's embrace was really warm!

It's the same as when I was a kid in my father's arms!

If you can always be treated so gently by Uesugi-kun, then even if the future is miserable, you will have the courage to face it!

No... With Uesugi-kun, I'm afraid there won't be any tragic future...

I... If I...

No wonder the female classmates in the class are so keen on the topic of love, it turns out that it feels so good that someone can be relied on...

Nohara Kyoko thought wildly, lowered her head, Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't know if she heard her apology, but now that the night was late, he was grinding so much, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch the last train, so he had to bite the bullet and speak.

"Apricots, anyway... Let's go to my house first. ”

"It's going to be a long train ride, so let's go to the station first, shall we?"

Kyoko Nohara was speechless, just nodded silently, and with her acquiescence, Uesugi Kiyoshi breathed a sigh of relief and led the way in front.

...

At the same time, in the underground parking lot near the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Ryunosuke Akutagawa paced towards his black Toyota with an inexplicable smile on his face, and he was in a good mood.

The choice is both directions.

Today's Uesugi Kiyoshi is not leaky in his eyes, he is not shocked by honor and disgrace, he advances and retreats in a certain way, he doesn't look like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man, this is a big plus, if it is just strong and has a poor personality, then Akutagawa Ryunosuke will not choose to come into contact with Uesugi Kiyoshi, they are an organization of transcendentals, not a nursery.

Moreover, Uesugi Kiyoshi did not show obvious resistance and rejection of the collectibles association, which means that there is some talk.

Although he has been dealing with ghosts and gods for many years, he has only been in Tokyo for a few years on behalf of the Collectibles Association, an international organization whose headquarters are not in Japan, in fact, Japan is a region with little control over the Collectibles Association, and they are too short of manpower.

If it weren't for the association's deep pockets and the quality of the field staff, Akutagawa Ryunosuke was indeed a person with means, and Kudo's Yuichi family also had a decisive influence in the police world, the Collectibles Association would have been in a difficult situation by those extraordinary organizations under the government.

If Uesugi Kiyoshi can join the Collectibles Association, then he will really get a big boost - he is not only referring to Uesugi Kiyoshi's extraordinary combat power, but he also has other considerations.

Thinking about today's events in his mind, Akutagawa Ryunosuke suddenly felt an alarm, his steps paused, his face froze, and the black jade cane in his hand hit the ground, and a trace of ink-colored mist diffused from the cane, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.

Next to his Toyota, a figure stood quietly.

The lights in the underground parking lot were dim, but they weren't so bad that they couldn't see their fingers, and Ryunosuke Akutagawa squinted, and after seeing the figure clearly, his expression changed several times, and finally dissipated the hostility on his body and greeted him with a smirk.

"It's rude, is Shangquan Jianhao waiting for me?"

The man was dressed in a simple kendo uniform, holding an ebony sword in his arms, and the whole person stood lazily against the body, but he stood there with his eyes closed, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke looked at it as if he had seen a sharp sword unsheathed.

A terrifying sword aura and killing intent poured out from this elegant middle-aged man, lingering around Ryunosuke Akutagawa, making his cold hair stand on end and his bones creepy, like a prey targeted by a predator.

This is exactly Uesugi Kiyoshi's mentor, the new Yinliu master, Kamiizumi Hidekawa.

This amazing murderous aura is not the illusion of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Kamizumi Hidekawa is a world-recognized great swordsman, his "sword intent" and "sword heart" are as clear as a mirror, sharp and incomparable, although Akutagawa Ryunosuke is confident in his own strength, but against this legendary undefeated swordsman, he is still weak in his heart, really fighting, if he wants to run, he has to see if Izumi Hidekawa releases water or not, and does not save face for the Collectibles Association and the Akutagawa family.

Hearing Akutagawa Ryunosuke speak, Hidekawa Kamiizumi, who was pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes slightly, and there seemed to be a bright thousand sword lights flashing in his eyes, he glanced at Akutagawa Ryunosuke lightly, and snorted softly.

"You are the linker of the Akutagawa family's generation? The Tokyo branch of the Collectibles Association, is it up to you to decide? ”

Umizumi Hidekawa asked, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke bowed politely and replied.

"It's down there, what advice does Shangquan Jianhao have?"

Hidekawa Kamiizumi's demeanor today is completely different from the usual lazy and casual, his face is awe-inspiring, his expression is not worried, holding a wooden knife in his arms, he took a few steps towards Akutagawa Ryunosuke, his eyes were not good.

"Do you know that even if your father saw me at the beginning, he had to bow respectfully, and then retreat, not daring to provoke me in the slightest?"
