Chapter 20: The Last Act

Uesugi Kiyoshi stood quietly, waiting for the Lord of the Hyakki's next step.

He vaguely felt that the drama was coming.

The "script" he just experienced can be completely connected with the previous diary.

This is a classic traversal counterattack plot, exile, trough, rise, setback, and rise again.

Eighty percent of the commercial films on the market are centered on this routine.

And unlike the movie, the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts is obviously a bad ending.

Therefore, that "transaction" is the turning point of everything.

However, Uesugi Kiyoshi can understand the decision he made at the time, and if he replaces, he will do it.

He can't just watch the people around him die.

If he changes to this life and Apricot dies, he will definitely be desperate to redeem it.

The silence lasted for several minutes, and by the time Uesugi Kiyoshi had become a little impatient, he had a grinning self in the mirror, and his tone was a little wicked.

"Don't wait, don't you think I'm going to tell you what's next?"

"Realize for yourself, lad."

Uesugi pursed his lips and clenched his fists.

"Did anyone say you owe a beating?"

"If you write like this, you'll definitely be sent a blade."

He had an expression of wanting to hit someone, but he didn't care about himself in the mirror.

"If I could, I would have said it."

"Why did you let me experience my life so deeply - you thought I was idle? It took a lot of effort to preserve this environment. ”

"The purpose is... The next gap, you fill it yourself. ”

"Listen, the object of the deal is our worst enemy."

"The reason why I died, and the reason why my branch of Edo Genji fell, was because of it."

"I said, don't mention Li Qing's name again, keep it in mind... You're Uesugi Kiyoshi, and it's because of him. ”

"I can't mention his existence, as long as I mention it, he will find out."

"There's no way to get rid of that."

"My name, my deeds, you have to keep your mouth shut, try not to leak it, why do you think I have to communicate with you in the space of Kenshin's awakening?"

"I'm in... Get out of the way! ”

"As long as you don't mention it, it's fine, it's okay if you Uesugi Qing does something presumptuous, but if Li Qing, or me, reappears in the world, he will be targeted immediately, and then..."

"It's all a big gamble, if you are willing to be ordinary, you don't take the initiative to step into the extraordinary in your life, just indulge in the power brought by the Hundred Ghost Scrolls, you will never find these in your life."

"But I don't think I'm going to fall to this."

"Obviously, I won the bet."

The tone of the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts suddenly became urgent, and his figure became a little ethereal as it could be seen with the naked eye, as if it might disappear at any time.

"Alright, the last scene, I'll show you in a moment."

"There are some words, I tell you again, I don't have much time left, but I can't help but say it, I know my own character, if I don't say it, you may leave a demon in your heart."

"Listen, I'm not manipulating your life."

The first sentence of the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts made Uesugi Qing raise his eyebrows, wrinkle, and his face was a little dark.

He minded that.

Although the memory from the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts was used to use a secret method that he didn't know and gently crossed into his mind, he still minded.

He always felt that his insistence was ridiculous.

It turned out that he had a past life and this life, and it turned out that all these things he encountered were arranged.

It's not that he can't accept that he is doing all this, but... There will always be a mustard in my heart.

But this sentence made his heart move.

"I know you're thinking about this, we're all stubborn people - everything you encounter is not arranged by me."

"There is only one thing I have done, and I have left some [legacy]."

"The first thing to bear the brunt of is the Hundred Ghost Picture Scroll."

"That's my hard work after I became a god, and it's also an important miracle to record the hundred ghosts under my command, and I always have to leave something to save my life for my reincarnation."

"The condition for this thing to start is that you're at least sixteen years old, or... When your life is in danger, at that moment, you will recall the memory of Li Qing as a person from the Celestial Empire, and merge your thinking, and the main personality will become a more mature Li Qing. ”

"Because these things can't be told to you until you have basic judgment."

"Other than that, I didn't plan anything."

"Some encounters are destined, and some opponents are unavoidable, this world is like this, you can't escape."

"Cherish the people in front of you... Uesugi Kiyoshi! ”

sighed with some emotion, and the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts changed his words.

"I left this remnant image only to tell you what you should know, but not to force you to live according to my wishes."

"After today, I will disappear, there is only Uesugi Qing left in this world, and what you do is up to you."

"Do you want to live as a mortal, continue to follow your trajectory and step into the top of the extraordinary, ignoring these stories, or do you want to find out the truth and vent your heart."

"It's all up to you."

"I only have one thing to beg you."

"Xing and Qingxing, I owe them too much, you have to treat her well."

Uesugi Kiyoshi moved his lower neck a little uncomfortably, a little unhappy.

It feels so strange that I am being lonely against myself.

He nodded perfunctorily and eagerly diverted the subject.

"I see... I didn't doubt you. ”

"You... Is there anything else to explain? ”

The Lord of the Hundred Ghosts pondered for a moment and shook his head.

"No, even if I have regrets in this life, I have no regrets, and what I do is worthy of those who believe in me, and I am worthy of my heart."

"My heart is as clear as a mirror, and all that I do is my righteousness."

"I'm in Heiankyo -- now it's called Kyoto, and I've left you a gift there, and if you have time, you can go and get it, and if it won't make you climb to the sky, it will definitely be of great benefit to you."

“...”

"There may be a hundred reasons to retreat, but one reason for you to move forward is enough."

"Uesugi Kiyoshi, I don't want to force you to be someone, it's not that I'm selfless, it's just that you and I are one, and I know you too well."

"You will be the warrior who proves himself with one reason, and by no means the coward who retreats with a hundred reasons, otherwise, you will not be able to cultivate a sword."

"Let's go on..."

"Don't look back!"

By the end of the words, the figure of the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts had already loomed, as if it would turn into light smoke and drift away at any time.

"Alright, my mission is complete."

"The last act, I can't make you feel like you're there."

"I'm not strong enough to simulate that level of combat."

"You can think of it as a special effects movie."

"On that day, I was the enemy of the whole world."

"The decisive battle with Heiankyo!"
