Uesugi Qing gritted his teeth and moved his mind. The originally faint milky white fluorescence on the statue in the mirage quickly disappeared.

At the same time, he whispered: "One Hundred Demons Scroll, Inugami Scroll."

"Mind and skill as one! The heart of the clear mirror and still water!"

This is the method he came up with.

This card, which belongs to the Inugami Volume, can make the user's mind calm and clear. It once helped Uesugi Kiyoshi to escape from his decadence. It can be said to be the right remedy for the current situation.

Unfortunately, this effect is only temporary.

Uesugi Kiyoshi locked Ueno Mitsuishi with his limbs and had to hit him on the forehead. After this painful blow, a small and exquisite card flashed by with the shadow of Inugami, causing Ueno Mitsuishi's eyes to freeze. The purple light struggled and boiled violently, but finally subsided temporarily with some unwillingness.

Then, the pain that was suppressed by the power of the mysterious rituals of ghosts and gods and the pain from the injuries on his body all rushed into Ueno Mitsuishi's heart, instantly turning his face pale and groaning - he clenched his teeth so hard that blood flowed from his lips, and only then did he suppress his screams on the spot.

However, there was more relief on his face.

"Thank you Uesugi-kun."

The integration of mind and skills can temporarily restore Ueno Mitsuishi's sanity. Uesugi Kiyoshi has always believed in the effectiveness of the Hundred Tales card, so he slowly let go of Ueno Mitsuishi, took a step back, and looked at Ueno Mitsuishi's grateful eyes with a complicated look.

"And you, Narumi-kun. It's all thanks to you, otherwise I would have made a big mistake. Uesugi-kun said that you were very strong, but I didn't believe it at the time. Now it seems that I was too old to see clearly."

Ueno Mitsuishi was covered in wounds, his hair and beard were disheveled, and his clothes were tattered, but the smile on his face had returned to his usual kind expression.

Shingo Narumi lowered his head, pursed his lips, shook his head, sighed, and said nothing.

He didn't know what to say.

Ueno Sanishi didn't care either. He just turned around and looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi's tense face with clear eyes.

"Don't be so serious, Uesugi-kun. Thank you so much for letting me enjoy a moment of peace. Although I don't know how you did it, it's not surprising that you can do this if you are so highly respected by Master Akutagawa."

"Don't comfort me, I know I'm hopeless."

Ueno Mitsuishi's smile was not gloomy or miserable, but just as peaceful as ever.

"Please thank Master Akutagawa for taking care of me for so many years, Uesugi-kun. I have another request. If it won't cause you any trouble, can you help me take care of the little rabbit in the future?"

Facing that peaceful gaze, Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded unconsciously.

Seeing this scene, Ueno Sanishi let out a long sigh and slowly looked up at the sky. The sky was gray and filled with rain and fog. There was no sunlight, and it seemed like a bottomless abyss.

But Ueno Sanishi looked at that place with fascination. After a long silence, he slowly spoke.

"At this point, I'm going to say a few more words. If this annoys Uesugi-kun, please forgive me."

"There are some things that I just can't bear to keep to myself."

His tone paused and became somewhat solemn, like a believer's last prayer.

"Uesugi-kun, I am not a genius like you. I touched a sword when I was ten years old, and entered the door of transcendence at the age of twenty-eight, understanding my true heart and cultivating sword energy. I am fifty-three years old now, and in terms of fighting skills, I am far behind you. There is a huge difference."

"I am a mediocre person and a fool."

"The Ueno family has been a retainer of the Akutagawa family for generations. I have served the old master since I was young, and later I was assigned to serve the young master. Over the years, I have not dared to slack off. I have watched the young master Akutagawa grow up little by little."

"When I was young, I was busy with official duties and didn't pay enough attention to my family. My wife contracted an incurable disease, but I found out very late. I almost didn't even see her for the last time. As a husband, I was unqualified."

"When I was older, I stubbornly trained my son to be a superior person to me, and let him serve the Akutagawa family on my behalf. This was not my son's original intention, but he still accepted it with pleasure, carried the banner of the Ueno family, and served the Akutagawa family on my behalf. He achieved remarkable results, but in the end, I failed to protect him. I failed as a father, and I failed to send off my son."

"When I was old, I still had obsessions in my heart. I wanted to avenge my son. As long as I was alive, I would fight the man-eating ghosts to the end. I ran around to take care of those children who also lost their families in the disasters caused by ghosts and gods, but I ignored Xiaotu. She had little company in her childhood and was not happy, but she always had a smile on her face. That was a smile she showed deliberately to alleviate my guilt. I understand all this. As a grandfather, I am not qualified either."

The turbulent wind blew Ueno Sanishi's white hair, revealing his extremely old face with many wrinkles and ravines.

The next second, a look of pride suddenly surged on his face, and even his body straightened up a little.

The gloomy and dark mood was swept away, as if a last ray of light had returned, and he looked rather energetic.

"But, as a retainer, I have been loyal and dedicated, taking care of every detail, and everything I have handled has been perfect without any mistakes. I am worthy of the salary that the Akutagawa family has given me, and I am worthy of the kindness they have shown me in the past!"

"As a transcendent, I have never been afraid of anything. Even in desperate situations, I dare to draw my sword, slay evil spirits, and protect mortals. I have never retreated, and my swordsmanship has never wavered. I am worthy of the title of Transcendent."

"My abilities are limited, so I can only do my best to help the poor people in this world, so that there will be fewer homeless children in this world. Although I dare not take credit for it, I can also say that I have never had any selfish motives, and I am worthy of my identity as a human being!"

"This is my fate. I have no more extravagant hopes. I will let future generations judge my merits and demerits."

"Although Ueno Sanishi had many regrets in his life, he deserves the phrase - he has a clear conscience!"

The vicissitudes of life voice was a little trembling, and Shangshan Qing's eyes were filled with tears.

The old man's words were like his last words, and every time he said them, he clenched his fists tighter - this kind of person should not die.

Shouldn't the ones who should die be the ghosts and gods who made him become like this?

Is God blind?!

Ueno Sanishi's face had an unhealthy flush. He took a few rapid breaths, his eyes wide open, and looked intimidating without even being angry.

"Uesugi-kun, now I have one last request - please kill me."

"I don't want to become a puppet of ghosts and gods. I don't want to become the kind of person I hate the most."

"Ueno Sanshi is not afraid of death. I am very sorry for the trouble I caused you today, but I may not have the chance to make it up to you."

As he spoke, a bright smile of relief appeared on his face.

"Uesugi-kun, I am satisfied to die under your sword. This is a good ending for me."

"Please do it."

Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyelids gradually drooped. He didn't say anything, nor did he make any movements. He just lowered his head, his fists trembling slightly, and a terrifying low pressure was all around him.

The silent atmosphere lasted for nearly a minute, and there was already some anxiety in Ueno Sanishi's eyes.

The purple light that had just been suppressed and dispersed, lingered in his pupils, making his expression look somewhat hideous.

"Hurry up! Uesugi-kun! What are you waiting for?"

"You are a collector! You have a bright future ahead of you. You will encounter countless situations like this in your future life. You can't be soft-hearted!"

"This is not harming me! This is giving me relief!"

Slowly, Ueno Mitsuishi hunched over, sobbing, and his words became a little unclear.

"Please, Uesugi-kun."

"No. Don't be soft-hearted."

"I don't want to be like that. I'm sorry. I know I'm selfish, but I just don't have the energy to commit suicide now."

"I understand."

"I understand!"

"Ten years ago, when I personally thrust the sword into Kazuo's chest, I felt the same way: hesitation, anger, guilt, and reluctance."

"For the past ten years, I have been burdened with a heavy sense of guilt. It was a life worse than death. I shouldn't let you bear this burden too. I shouldn't."

"But! There's nothing we can do about it!"

Ueno Kazuo is the name of Ueno Mitsuishi's son and a founder of the Collectibles Association. Ten years ago, he was bewitched by ghosts and gods during a shelter operation, planted the seeds of the occult, fell into depravity, and became an irrational occultist. In the end, he was killed by Ueno Mitsuishi who rushed to the scene and rescued his then young granddaughter.

The combination of mind and skill only kept Ueno Sanishi awake for less than five minutes. This shows that the methods of those foreign god believers are indeed somewhat weird.

The rational look in the eyes of this white-haired old man was on the verge of disappearing.

He roared, begged, and bent over, looking lonely and helpless, and looked hopeless.

Finally, Uesugi Kiyoshi let out a long sigh and stroked the back of Ueno Mitsuishi's neck with one hand.

A faint mirage emanated, Ueno Sanishi rolled his eyes, and fainted, only to be quickly supported by Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"Get some sleep, Ueno-senpai. Everything will be fine."

He muttered to himself, turned around silently, supported Ueno Mitsuishi's body, and wanted to send him to the Collection Recycling Association first.

Then, he and Kudo Yuichi made eye contact.

It seemed that Kudo Yuichi had arrived a long time ago. Behind him, there were several cars of the Collectors Association parked in a haphazard manner. Several teams of people in black raincoats were dispersing the crowd, and a team of people in white raincoats were in position with various medical equipment in their hands.

But looking at this scene, Kudo Yuichi realized that the medical team might be of no use.

So he didn't interrupt their conversation.

Now, seeing Uesugi Kiyoshi turning around, Kudo Yuichi hesitated and moved his lower lip, lowering his voice and saying, "Kiyoshi, do you really want to do this?"

"The Collector's Association has a rule that members who are infected by the power of the rite must be executed as soon as possible to prevent the spread of the power of the rite. This thing is like an infectious disease. It can spread among the crowd through some means. It is very dangerous."

"It's against the rules for you to do this."

Uesugi Kiyoshi just said expressionlessly: "You want to stand on the side of the rules?"

Kudo Yuichi didn't hesitate at all and just shook his head.

"What nonsense - of course I'm on your side."

He took a few quick steps, supporting Ueno Mitsuishi on behalf of Uesugi Kiyoshi, and kept saying, "There is a suppression device developed by the True Seer in the shelter, which should be able to suppress the power of the secret ritual. I will send Ueno-san there first."

"Don't worry, calm down. Yamamoto Ryosuke hasn't lost consciousness, so maybe Ueno-san won't go completely crazy either."

"Although I have never seen a mystical human being return to normal, Qing, you are someone who is good at creating miracles."

"I told you I'd stand by you!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression finally relaxed a little. He nodded and patted Kudo Yuichi on the shoulder, as if he was giving instructions, but more like he was making a vow.

"You take care of these things, and I'll figure out how to save people."

"Before he left, Akutagawa entrusted Ueno-senpai to me and asked me to take good care of him. I don't want to leave him like this."

"I don't have many good qualities, but I keep my word."

"I promised Akutagawa, and I will do it."

"As long as I am still alive, I cannot just watch Ueno-senpai die!"

"His life cannot be taken away by others"

"Ghosts and gods are not okay, and those messed-up foreign gods are even less okay!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi shook off the rain on the sword and sheathed it.

He turned and glanced at Ming Hai Shingo and nodded slightly.
