The reality of this world!

Chapter 24 Tragedy

The sky was covered with dark clouds. It was only around four o'clock in the afternoon, but it was already dark and pitch black. The dome of Tokyo today revealed an unusual sense of oppression.

The rain hasn't started yet, but it won't be far away.

At the junction of Minato Ward and Meguro Ward, Uesugi Kiyoshi led Nohara Anko out of the tram station, and they walked one after the other on the way to the Yokota family.

The atmosphere between the two was a little silent. Nohara Anko was introverted and a little shy by nature, and she was not good at finding topics to talk about.

Under normal circumstances, Uesugi Kiyoshi might have found an opportunity to ease the atmosphere, but today, he was preoccupied and was trying to calm down and prepare for the possible battle that might follow, so he did not speak.

The tram station was not far from Yokota's house. About five minutes later, Uesugi Kiyoshi could vaguely see the outline of the apartment building where Yokota's house was located.

He had read Nohara Anko's information and was familiar with the address here.

Uesugi Kiyoshi paused and his expression became more solemn.

The Yokota residence where Nohara Anko was staying was on the second floor. At this moment, Uesugi Kiyoshi looked from afar and saw that the window of the house on the left side of the second floor of the apartment was wide open.

In his eyes, a faint black mist dissipated from the second-floor window into the air, swirling outside the window, making the ordinary window look like the entrance to hell.

The thickness of the mirage was beyond Uesugi Kiyoshi's expectations.

Uesugi Kiyoshi stopped, frowned and thought for a few seconds, calmed his expression, and turned to face Nohara Anko.

"Xingzi, let me make this clear."

Just now on the train, at Nohara Anko's strong request, Uesugi Kiyoshi had already started calling her by her first name.

Nohara Anko was suddenly called by Uesugi Kiyoshi. She was startled and looked up hurriedly.

"Yes! Qingjun!"

She subconsciously straightened her chest, her expression panicked, and her voice became a little louder, like a soldier waiting for orders.

Nohara Anko's cute appearance slightly dispelled some of the ominous feelings in Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart. He smiled slightly and gave instructions to Nohara Anko.

"Xingzi, you have to promise me that if anything unexpected happens, you must obey my orders completely without any hesitation."

"Well, forget it. How about you wait here for me and I go up to visit alone?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi expressed his suggestion, then quickly shook his head to deny it.

"No, forget what I said, it's not safe down here either."

For some reason, the area near this apartment building is sparsely populated, and there is an eerie feeling of desolation all around. Uesugi Kiyoshi even felt like he had been dragged into the realm of the dead, but when he used his mind's eye to look around, he felt like he was still in the real world. This feeling was absurd and made him feel a little uncomfortable.

In this situation, the way to ensure Nohara Anko's safety is to let her stay by his side.

Uesugi Kiyoshi handed the backpack to Nohara Anko, and with his left hand he clenched the sword bag containing the wooden sword, his expression becoming serious.

"Xingzi, come up with me."

"Remember this, you must do what I say immediately!"

"I'm not kidding. Something terrible may have happened in your family. I hope you can be mentally prepared."

Looking at Uesugi Kiyoshi's serious expression, Nohara Anko was also a little flustered. She hugged two schoolbags and shook her head hurriedly - her personality was very gentle, and now Uesugi Kiyoshi was doing this for her own good, she would understand, and would not disobey Uesugi Kiyoshi's request.

Now in Nohara Anko's heart, Uesugi Kiyoshi's words are like the will of God.

only.

Is something wrong with uncle?

Although her aunt was very harsh on her, her uncle was actually quite nice to her, so when she heard what Uesugi Kiyoshi said was so dangerous, Nohara Anko's mood also turned worse.

Seeing that Nohara Anko agreed, Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded silently, and without hesitation, led the way towards the old apartment building.

After passing the deserted first-floor lobby, walking up the narrow and dim staircase, and entering the cramped second-floor corridor, Uesugi Kiyoshi took a few steps and stopped in front of a gray-brown wooden door.

If the information given to him by Kudo Yuichi is correct, this should be the Yokota residence.

Uesugi Kiyoshi twitched his nose and his expression turned very ugly.

Mirage can use mirage to enhance his physical fitness. This enhancement does not simply enhance his strength, speed, and physical strength.

Also enhanced are the five senses and reaction speed.

Although the enhanced effect of the mirage has not yet enabled him to possess the physical qualities of a comic book superhero, his five senses are already much stronger than those of ordinary people.

He stood at the door, and the pungent smell of blood rushed into his nostrils.

This place seems not to be a house, but a slaughterhouse.

"Kyoko, stand back and give me the key!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't turn around, but gave the order in a somewhat cold voice.

Nohara Anko obediently handed the key to Uesugi Kiyoshi, then obediently took a few steps back, staring at the door and Uesugi Kiyoshi's back, the worry in her eyes almost overflowing.

She was worried about her uncle and also about Uesugi Kiyoshi.

But she could do nothing but watch.

A lingering feeling of frustration lingered in Nohara Anko's heart, making her mood even more depressed.

Uesugi Kiyoshi doesn't have time to care about how Nohara Anko feels now.

He took the key without knocking. He first swung his left hand, and the ebony knife was unsheathed, with the tip of the sword hanging down, as if he was ready to strike at any time.

Then he inserted the key in his right hand into the keyhole.

With full concentration and tense spirit, Uesugi Kiyoshi gently turned the key. With a somewhat obscure sound of metallic friction, the door of Yokota's house was slowly opened by him.

The room was dark, but he had a pair of eyes that could see through illusions, so this level of darkness could not do anything to him.

As the door opened, the smell of blood became more rampant, and the expected scarlet color was seen.

On the floor of Yokota's living room, there were large patches of dark red blood. In the pool of blood that had not yet coagulated was mixed with human tissue. This shocking scene was enough to make people with poor psychological quality scream.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's face was as gloomy as water, and he remained unmoved. He stepped into the room and blocked Nohara Anko's view with his body.

The living room is right after the entrance, and Uesugi Kiyoshi's attention is immediately attracted by a hunched figure kneeling with his back to him.

The man was wearing a wrinkled suit and was covered in blood. He was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered, worshiping devoutly at a small shrine hanging on the wall.

The door of the shrine was open and there was nothing inside.

The front of the hunched figure was full.

In the middle of the pile of internal organs, stood a bloody human head - judging from the long hair, it should be a woman's head.

As if he heard the movement of the door opening, the hunched figure who was bowing to the shrine suddenly stopped, his body paused, and he turned his head little by little.

In the end, his head mechanically turned 180 degrees, as if he had no cervical vertebrae, swaying like a snake, staring at Uesugi Kiyoshi with gloomy and resentful eyes.

Yokotano.

Uesugi Kiyoshi recognized him, as there was a photo of him in Kudo Yuichi's profile.

But is he really still Yokotano now?

After a breath, Yokotano seemed to smell something and suddenly grinned silently - the corners of his mouth were pulled to his ears, revealing his white teeth, and his smile was crazy.

He is laughing.

As he laughed, a series of sounds like the roars of a wild beast came out of his throat, which sounded very harsh to Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced around and found no other living creatures except Yokodano.

But in his eyes, the concentration of the mirage on Yokotano's body had exceeded that of fog and had become close to a liquid.

"It seems there is no need for investigation or negotiation."

Uesugi Qing chanted in a low voice, lowered his center of gravity, and arched his body little by little while gathering strength.

He supported the sword with his left hand and gripped the hilt with his right hand. His mind and body were focused, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The next second, he took a step forward, his figure flashed, and the ebony sword turned into a black blade light and slashed out!

ps. I made a mistake. I wrote books on other websites before, and I thought the daily chapter settlement on Qidian was at six in the morning, but today I found out that it was actually twelve at night.

That is to say, I have unknowingly stopped updating for a day, and sometimes it is not even double the update.

In order to prevent unstable updates and failure to be recommended, the update time will be adjusted to 8pm and 10pm twice a day.

This chapter was posted in the early morning, the next one will be posted in the evening

Chapter 25: The Extraordinary Ghost

The so-called swordsmanship, in the final analysis, is the method of chopping down the enemy with a sword.

This is the absolute core of any swordsmanship. No matter how the style changes, it remains essentially the same.

There was nothing fancy about Uesugi Kiyoshi's sword. It was just a very simple progressive Karasaku style - also commonly known as the straight chop.

He aimed his wooden sword at Yokotano's forehead. Although he reserved some strength to deal with unexpected situations, if the sword hit, even if it couldn't kill Yokotano, it would at least make him dizzy and temporarily lose his ability to think and move.

Two hours of kendo learning every day, thousands of Suzhen training sessions in the Mirage, and muscle memory acquired from childhood, Uesugi Kiyoshi's basic kendo skills are extremely solid.

The black blade light rushed forward like a streak of silk, and after a whistling gust of wind, it made close contact with Yokotano's grinning face.

Hit!

but.

The touch feels wrong!

This sword didn't seem to hit human flesh, but rather felt like it was hitting metal!

Yokotano was beaten to the ground, his head and neck were at an abnormal 90-degree angle, as if his bones were broken.

But the thick-backed boning knife he picked up was still used to chop across Uesugi Kiyoshi's waist and abdomen - the heavy blow to his face did not stop his movements at all, he was like a stone puppet without any feelings!

"not good!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart skipped a beat, and he revolved the strength in his hands, intending to draw his sword to block - he had reserved a third of his strength just for this, so that in times of crisis he would still have room for changing his tactics.

This is also a major feature of the Shinkage-ryu. Although the authentic Shinkage-ryu is not lacking in lethal self-sacrificing techniques, it is more based on defense, gradually eroding the opponent's sword power, and emphasizing fair and honest swordsmanship to win.
