Chapter 42: The Hundred Ghosts Picture Scroll

Uesugi Kiyoshi was in no hurry to cross the sea to Tokyo to have a look.

He didn't even know what the Dream Mirror Space was really good for the transcendental, and Ryunosuke Akutagawa only vaguely mentioned that "it can enhance the inspiration of the transcendent", but now he even relied on his own guessing what the inspiration was.

Probably... Can you see the power of ghosts and gods?

He wasn't sure, but he felt that eight or nine was not far from ten.

The unknown is always the most dangerous, anyway, if this is his dream mirror space, Tokyo won't run, he can go and see it whenever he wants.

At least wait until tomorrow to see the master and consult him for his opinion, otherwise if he goes to Tokyo, wanders around the dream mirror world, and accidentally provokes a powerful ghost god, and then makes a monster in his dream mirror that drops his value at a glance, Uesugi Kiyoshi can't stand this.

So, with a thought in his mind, the gray mist rose again, surrounding the island layer by layer, and then, he walked to the mirage building.

After a hard day, it's time to harvest the fruits.

The candlelight in the mirage building is bright, and the picture scroll of the hundred ghosts is still vivid.

This time, Uesugi Kiyoshi had enough time to figure out what had happened to the Hyakki Scroll, and what was the use of that Yingcao Demon Spirit.

He stood in front of his self-portrait and looked closely, discovering that he was in the scroll of a hundred ghosts, surrounded by countless gray mirages.

As soon as his heart moved, he stretched out his hand, and the mirage in the painting was like a dragon absorbing water, and he directly pulled it out of the hundred ghost painting scrolls.

Feeling the mirage of extraordinary concentration, Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes lit up, this was definitely the mirage he absorbed after he slashed Yokodano.

It turns out that these mirages have been stored in the Hundred Ghost Picture Scroll, and they can be used by themselves at will, right?

This is much freer than before, when he absorbed the mirage before, he had no choice at all, he could only passively strengthen his physical fitness, and even when he awakened the dog god, he couldn't even choose the two Baiwen cards, they were all arranged by the Hundred Ghost Scroll.

Just when he was a little confused and didn't know how to use the mirage, a familiar thought rushed into his mind.

"A sufficient amount of mirage has been obtained, and the basic ability of the Hundred Ghost Scroll has been repaired..."

This is the stream of consciousness that has always been used by him as a systematic scroll.

Along with this thought, countless pieces of information and knowledge squeezed into his brain, making him frown a little painfully.

...

It took a lot of time for Uesugi Kiyoshi to sort out this sudden knowledge, but the proportion of time in the mirage building was different from that of the outside world, and he was not in a hurry.

Ten minutes later, Uesugi Kiyoshi slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes flashed with an inexplicable brilliance.

If you compare the Hyakki Picture Scroll to a game, Uesugi Kiyoshi has fully understood this game by reading the "Guide" for ten minutes.

It turned out that I used to play just a trial version, and the functions were incomplete, because the "mirage" gap that drove the Hundred Ghost Scroll was too big, and some of the main functions were not unlocked.

And after killing Yokoda, he absorbed the high-concentration mirage that came from nowhere, and the Hundred Ghost Scroll was completely awakened.

The reason why he was able to drive the gray fog that surrounded the entire island was also because of this - before that, no matter how strong his mind was and he wanted to break his head, it would be impossible for him to get a glimpse of the world outside Hyakki-no-cho, because this gray fog barrier was not under his control at that time.

For example, he was not at the level at that time, and he did not unlock this feature.

Of course, these are not main courses.

The most important changes are still "Demon Soul" and "Baiwen Card".

According to the information transmitted by the Hyakki Picture Scroll, this town of Hyakki is the territory of "the lord of the ghosts and spirits, and the king who leads the night of the Hyakki".

It can be regarded as a "treasure".

When Uesugi Kiyoshi crossed, this treasure was bound to his soul in a daze, and he automatically recognized him as the master, so that he stepped into the extraordinary in one step - he just came to this world, and he was able to stab an evil ghost to death with a fruit knife, which is all the credit of the Hundred Ghost Picture Scroll.

It's powerful... can make a mortal have extraordinary abilities in an instant.

At the same time, the mirage building has countless wonderful uses, and changing the flow rate of time is just one of them.

The biggest function of the mirage building is to suppress the "hundred ghosts and demons".

It is said that all the youkai on this Hundred Ghost Scroll are related to the former Lord of the Ghosts, some of them are his loyal subordinates, and some are powerful enemies sealed by him.

And this former master of the ghost can use the "extraordinary ability" of the hundred ghosts under his command through the Hundred Ghost Drawing Scroll, in the eyes of Uesugi Kiyoshi, it is the Hundred Smell cards.

But... With the time travel and the fusion of the host's soul, the Hundred Ghost Picture Scroll has been damaged to a certain extent, and many demon souls have been lost, becoming somewhat incomplete, and some functions cannot be used.

In this case, if Uesugi Kiyoshi still wants to use the power of the hundreds of ghosts in the scroll, he must recover those scattered demon spirits.

There are two ways to do this, to get the approval of the demon soul linker, or... Kill the Demon Soul Linker.

Because "Yingcao" is a former subordinate of the Lord of the Charm and Spirit, when he met Kyoko Nohara, Hyakki's picture scroll did not give Uesugi Kiyoshi the option of "killing her".

However, the lost demon soul is not only Yingcao, there are also many tricky guys, and there are also "enemies" among them.

If you want to complete this picture scroll, I am afraid that you will have to go through a bloody storm.

Strictly speaking, Uesugi Kiyoshi is the heir to the Lord of the Spirits, the new head of the Hundred Ghosts, and the master of the Mirage Building.

He pondered in his mind for a moment, and a strange thought popped up in his mind.

He didn't know if the Hundred Ghost Scroll came from the world before he traveled over, or the world after he crossed over... But he secretly felt that it might be from the world after crossing over.

Because there are ghosts and gods raging all over the place.

What kind of "Lord of the Spirits", it sounds like a good match for ghosts and gods!

Could it be... After I crossed over, I inherited the mantle of a certain ghost god in a daze?!

Isn't this Hundred Ghost Picture Scroll from the Baiwen card I was playing before I crossed over?

If you think about it carefully, it also makes sense, this thing is not like the system in those novels, and it will also issue tasks to provide rewards, in comparison, the idea of a hundred ghosts painting scrolls is more like a "machine spirit".

So is this going to have some effect on me? Those demons and gods can be reborn!

However, I've been traveling for so long, and I haven't found any problems...

Tut...

Kiyoshi Uesugi sat cross-legged in front of his self-portrait, touching his chin, sorting out information, and thinking about countermeasures, but he really couldn't think of a reason.

There's no way, he already knows enough about the Hundred Ghost Scrolls, but he is still confused about the original owner of the Hundred Ghosts Scrolls.

He simply didn't want to think about it, the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, the big deal was to draw the sword and pass the hand, the winner lived and the loser died, this kind of consciousness was done on the first day he held the sword.

Uesugi Kiyoshi raised his head, no longer hesitated, and with a wave of his hand, the thick mirage in his hand was like a river returning to the sea, and it was thrown into the portrait of the dog god on the Hundred Ghost Picture Scroll.

There are eight cards of the dog god.

Kiyoshi Uesugi has only two unlocked now.

With the input of this mirage, next to the mighty dog god, three more cards lit up slightly.

At the same time, Uesugi Kiyofuku reached the heart and slammed his fist to the side.

The fist was cold, and the sound of breaking the air exploded, and the power of this punch was somewhat beyond his expectations.

The strength and speed of his flesh... It's been enhanced again!
