Uesugi Kiyoshi holds a sharp blade in one hand and a human head in the other, his face is hideous and terrifying, and his smile is strange and smells of blood.

The anger in his heart never subsided.

This mood is very complicated, there is anger at his own carelessness, hatred for the man in black, and fear of death, and the fear of escaping death.

It is no exaggeration to say that today may be the day when Kiyoshi Uesugi has the highest negative sentiment.

Since he crossed over, he didn't dare to slack off in practicing martial arts, and in order to get a little bit of extraordinary information and demon soul mirage, he dared to take risks, for what?

In order to gain more power, in order to be able to live well in this not easy world.

And the person in front of him almost made his dream come to naught.

Uesugi Kiyoshi has an ability similar to resurrection, but this does not mean that he despises death, and his heart is like a mirror - Baiwen Card is never his own power.

The source and principle of this power are unknown, and he cannot fully grasp them.

He's willing to use the Hundred Smell cards to strengthen himself, but he doesn't fully trust and rely on them.

In case of... If something went wrong with the card, wouldn't he die on the spot?

When a person dies, there's nothing left!

Uesugi exhaled a cloudy breath and walked towards his apartment building step by step.

The heavy rain showed no sign of abating, and the sky didn't seem to want to clear up.

On the side of the main road, there are scattered corpses of men in black, all of which are Kagura's masterpieces.

The entire street was closed with its doors closed, and some curious residents secretly watched the battle of the yakuza at the window, but when they saw Kiyoshi Uesugi wandering the street like a perverted murderer, they all shrank back in horror.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was unaware of these gazes.

His current situation... Something is wrong.

His eyes were bloodshot, and a lead-gray hazy mist swam through his pupils, obscuring the otherwise bright brilliance, and these mist looked like Uesugi Kiyoshi's mirage.

There was no emotion in his eyes, and the rich smell of blood and the moisture of the rain poured into his nostrils, causing him to have a bloodthirsty and tyrannical impulse for no apparent reason.

He's already killed a lot today.

But he wanted more.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's last sanity is fighting stubbornly, not wanting to succumb to this violent killing intent, he doesn't want to become a beast that only knows how to kill.

He is no stranger to this situation, and he experienced it once when he was in Yokota.

Because he absorbed a large amount of mirage at that time, his mind lost his clarity and became unable to control himself.

Later, after talking to Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Uesugi Kiyoshi figured out what this state was.

It's ..."sinking".

When the transcendent person is under some kind of great mental pressure, and the soul is on the verge of collapse and cannot keep its original heart, the soul will fall into a state of "sinking".

Transcendents who enter this state will become irritable, irritable, unreasonable, and easily bewitched by the illusions of ghosts and gods, and become the target of ghosts and gods.

Even if he is lucky enough not to be targeted by the ghosts and gods, when his spirit is stretched to the limit, misfortune will happen.

The dragon slayer eventually becomes an evil dragon.

Transcendents are driven by this urge to kill, lose themselves, and become new "ghosts".

Absorbing mirage seems to be the culprit that burdens his soul, but if he wants to become stronger in a short period of time, the fastest way is to use mirage and Baiwen cards.

In fact, in normal times, he shouldn't be so vulnerable, but today he has experienced the intersection of life and death, and his mental defense has been lost for a moment, coupled with the unwillingness and hatred carried by the mirage of the green and red ghosts, the result has become this situation.

"Ahh To rush back to Kyoko, she should be able to heal this mental sinking..."

"She was the one who pulled me back last time..."

He had just tried the "healing light" of "Yingcao", but this was the first time that Baiwen had hit a wall in this world.

It is useless, the healing light can only heal the wounds of the body, and has no effect on the sinking of the soul.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes were a little confused and painful, he had never felt that the journey home was so long, and with every step he took, he felt that his legs were extremely heavy, as if he would fall down in the next moment.

"I was able to hold out until... Go home? ”

His head became more and more groggy, and Uesugi Kiyoshi stumbled, leaning against the wall to stand firmly, he staggered, and the knife in his hand and the severed head of the black-clothed man were thrown to the ground by him.

A feeling of dizziness swirled in his mind, and the world seemed to be far away from him, and countless whispers sounded in his ears, as if to drain his soul away.

The rain pounded on the eaves like a rhythmic lullaby, and Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyelids became heavy, and he tried to keep his eyes open, but he only felt that the world was blurry, and he couldn't see anything, and the streets that had become dark were crowded with countless shadowy figures, who whizzed by, with a sinister smile on their faces, as if laughing at their own powerlessness.

"Ahh Why do you see this kind of thing, are there already ghosts and gods in the dream mirror world who are using illusions to influence me? ”

"I don't want to... Die here! ”

The sudden burst of strong desire to survive in his heart made Uesugi Kiyoshi pick up the ribs on the ground and slash his left arm hard.

The blood beads formed a line, rushing out.

The intense pain gave him a moment of clarity.

Then, in his somewhat difficult eyes, the door of a shop beside the road creaked open.

A small white umbrella jumped into his eyes first, and a pair of small simple women's canvas shoes came by stepping on the rain, and Shi Shiran stopped in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi.

At the same time, there was an inexplicable fragrance coming from me, not the smell of perfume, if I had to say it... Is it sandalwood?

The person in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi raised the umbrella slightly, glanced at him calmly, stretched out his white little hand, and stuffed a thermos cup that looked a little old into his hand.

There is no doubt that this is a woman.

She was neither tall nor short, her shoulders were a little thin, she was wearing a very ordinary shirt and jeans, and she didn't look very old, she should be about sixteen or seventeen years old.

Her facial features are good, and her face is not beautiful, but she also has a very reassuring and gentle color, especially when she laughs, as if she has poured out all the tenderness in this world.

Well... The only fly in the ointment is that this girl has a pair of somewhat frivolous Mimi fox eyes.

This diluted her tenderness a little, but Uesugi Kiyoshi looked very kind.

That's what he looks like when he practices his social smile in the mirror.

Although the gender is different, this girl's smile is very much like herself.

"Taste it, this gentleman, the ancestral secret recipe, which cures the sinking of the soul."

The squinting girl smiled softly, her voice was like a clear spring, and people couldn't have the slightest disgust.

Those who can say "soul sinking" are certainly not mortals.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's mind was confused, and he really couldn't think too much about it, so he subconsciously unscrewed the lid of the thermos cup and drank the unknown liquid inside.

The strange fragrance of the liquid immediately produced a wonderful chemical reaction.

A bone-chilling cold spread through his limbs, making him shiver fiercely, and every cell in his body seemed to be frozen to wail, and the whole person shivered.

But the tyrannical and murderous intent in his heart was quickly dispelled by this chill, as if they had never been born.

Uesugi Kiyoha let out a white breath, and the inside was shining, as if there was still ice ballast.

With some trembling, he returned the empty thermos cup to the squinting girl, and asked astringently.

"It's... What is it? ”

The girl will take the cup and smile more gently.

"Honeysuckle, mountain branches, dragon pear leaves, winter wheat, snow fungus, add an appropriate amount of rock sugar, decoction for an hour, freeze and store, and take it out at room temperature when you drink it."

It took Kiyoshi Uesugi three seconds to react.

Isn't this herbal tea?!

Can a cup of herbal tea wake you up from your soul?

He thought quickly in his mind, and squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the girl in front of him, and different thoughts were spinning in his heart.

Could this be the linker who linked to the mirror of the inheritance of the heroic soul of a certain divine doctor?

Why should she help me?

In the next second, the squinting girl spoke like an unpredictable prophet.

"No, it's not."

"I don't have a mirror of the doctor's legacy."

Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart suddenly froze, and his eyes became solemn.

If this magical cup of herbal tea can still be explained by "linker"...

So what's going on with this mind-reading ability?
