This was not an accidental death, but a death claimed by an evil spirit.

When Uesugi Kiyoshi just crossed over and opened his eyes, he was in the "ghost realm". He was facing a vengeful evil spirit entrenched in this apartment.

The original owner's soul must have just been devoured by this evil ghost.

It took him five seconds to figure out his current situation, make basic judgments and action plans, and then he picked up a fruit knife with lightning speed and killed the hideous evil ghost in front of him that didn't look like a human at all.

The evil ghost who died in an unclear way is still confused. Didn't I just eat a person? Why is there another one? Another bottle?

Then he was stabbed to death by Uesugi Kiyoshi.

It is impossible for an ordinary person to kill an evil ghost so easily. It is obvious that Uesugi Kiyoshi is not an ordinary person.

Accompanying him in the journey was a golden finger that was obviously from the game "The Card Game".

A picture of a hundred ghosts.

A set of Baiwen cards.

A mirage!

Chapter 4: Mirage in the Town of One Hundred Demons

He walked in, turned on the light, and placed the discounted bento he had bought from a nearby convenience store on the kotatsu. Without even bothering to fill his rumbling stomach, Uesugi Kiyoshi sat cross-legged on the tatami mat by the wall.

After he crossed over, a system called "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" automatically appeared in his mind.

To be honest, Uesugi Qingzhen doesn't think this is a qualified system cheat. It won't issue tasks, nor will it add attribute points to itself. Compared with other time travelers, it is simply too low.

This system currently has three functions.

First, it gives him the ability of "mind's eye". He can keep a clear mind in the ghost realm, distinguish between humans and ghosts, and see through the illusions of those evil spirits.

Second, with the support of the system, his physical attacks can cause extra damage to "ghosts". For example, the evil ghost in the ramen shop was blown away by just one hit on the head by his wooden sword.

Third, he can absorb the gray mist after the evil spirit disappears - the system calls it "mirage". At present, these mirages have only one function, which is to slowly improve Uesugi Kiyoshi's physical fitness and speed up his physical strength and recovery from injuries.

In addition to these three, he can also use some of the magical abilities of "Mirage", but that ability is of little help in combat, so we'll talk about it later.

Among the three functions of the One Hundred Demons Night Parade system, the third one is currently the most beneficial to Uesugi Kiyoshi.

As the saying goes, the poor are good at literature, but the rich are good at martial arts.

If you want to practice martial arts, you must at least eat well so that you can build a stronger body. If you add some assistance such as herbal baths, the effect will definitely be better.

Obviously, given Uesugi Kiyoshi's financial situation, he could only "barely get enough to eat."

Over the past year, he has been able to improve in kendo and his physical fitness has steadily improved, thanks to the mirage energy he absorbed from killing several evil spirits, which has freed him from financial worries.

Sitting cross-legged, his qi sinking into his dantian, Uesugi Kiyoshi cleared all distracting thoughts and entered a state of "meditation".

This kind of quiet meditation is a required course in kendo, and he did it effortlessly in just a few seconds.

As soon as his thought changed, Uesugi Kiyoshi's body felt lighter, and when he opened his eyes again, he was no longer in his cramped little apartment.

My ears were filled with the sound of crashing waves, my nose was filled with the fresh scent of the sea, my feet were on the soft sand, I was surrounded by grey mist, and there was a full moon in the sky, its bright and clear moonlight illuminating the world.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was on an island.

This is his "consciousness space" and this island is the entity of the "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" system.

There was thick, rolling fog on the sea, making it impossible to see the surrounding situation clearly. The water was icy cold. Uesugi Kiyoshi tried to go into the water, but he could not hold on for more than a few seconds and was forced to return to the shore.

It was obvious that this was not his first time to come to this island. Uesugi Kiyomune walked into the island with familiarity.

Behind him, there stood a building similar to a shrine torii gate. Unlike ordinary torii gates, this one had a plaque hanging on it.

There are four big characters written in Chinese on the plaque.

"The Town of One Hundred Demons".

The environment of Hyakki-no-machi is very similar to the castle town of the Warring States Period. The outermost area is ancient Japanese-style houses, and a little further in is a commercial street with the same architectural style, with signs of different businesses standing side by side. However, it is completely silent here now, and there is not even a ghost, let alone people.

On the empty street, only the sound of Uesugi Kiyoshi's footsteps echoed.

His purpose was clear, and he walked straight to the tallest building in the town - the castle tower.

Castle town is a form of urban construction in Japan, in which a city is built around the castle where the lord lives.

The core of the castle where the lord lives is the castle tower, which is also the center of the "city" and where the lord of the daimyo lived during the Warring States Period.

The castle tower in Hyakki-no-Machi is, of course, a mirage!

The palaces and pavilions are magnificent, and the carved beams and painted pillars are of unparalleled craftsmanship. In the center of this island, a majestic and towering building stands quietly.

The night is like a curtain, and the moonlight is like frost, leaving it with traces of time and the vicissitudes of the times, while the mist floating around it adds a bit of mystery to it.

This is a daunting building, the castle tower of Hyakki-no-machi.

This is - "Mirage".

Unlike ordinary castle towers, a hundred meters above the roof of the Mirage Tower, there is a large fish-shaped wooden ship floating in the air, across the sky.

Like a magic airship.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't know what that thing was - he couldn't fly, so he naturally couldn't go up and take a look.

Now was not the time to care about that kind of thing. He took a deep breath, calmed his agitated mood, reached out and pushed open the heavy door of the Mirage, and stepped inside.

As he opened the door, the candles in the hundreds of bronze candlesticks densely packed in the mirage lit up automatically, emitting a warm orange-yellow light that illuminated the room as if it were daytime.

The mirage looks like five or six stories high from the outside, but once you enter it, you will find that it is actually only one story high.

What I saw was an empty hall. There was nothing in it except for the burning candlesticks by the wall, which illuminated the murals on the surrounding walls.

It was a Ukiyo-e style scroll, with lines of various colors outlining strange and lifelike images, completely filling the mirage's walls that were several stories high.

Anyone who has a little knowledge of Japanese culture can tell at a glance that this is the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons picture scroll.

The rain girl walks gracefully with an umbrella, and the phoenix fire flaps its wings and sings across the prairie.

The celestial dog holds a fan to control the wind and rain, and the guhuo bird spreads its wings and soars into the sky.

The white wolf raises his bow to the moon, and the sword girl wields her sword wildly.

The immortal mermaids dance in the sea, and the nine-tailed fox looks down on all living beings in the palace.

Goblins and ghosts are lined up, and evil spirits are rampant.

This is a weird carnival, a grand spectacle that is witnessed all over the world.

On the wall opposite the gate, there is a young man walking with a shining sword in his hand and hundreds of ghosts parading behind him at night!

The young man's face was so familiar to Uesugi Kiyoshi that it couldn't be more familiar.

That was him.

Even though it was not the first time he had seen this ukiyo-e painting of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, Uesugi Kiyoshi was still shocked for several seconds.

He believed that if someone else came here, they would also be captivated by this magnificent and beautiful painting.

This is something that does not belong to this world; it is an extraordinary work of art.

The only flaw is that the painting is all black and white, except for himself.

Moreover, many of the portraits are incomplete. For example, the two monsters "Guko-no-tori" and "Yoto-hime" are obviously missing a part of the composition.

Without the embellishment of colors, these goblins and ghosts seem to be without souls.

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked around and found that today's Hundred Demons Scroll was different from the previous ones.

Next to him, there was another monster that had been dyed with colors and looked like a living creature.

"."

"Inugami?!"

"I see. The function of the mirage is to illuminate the monsters in the Hundred Demons Scroll?"

"For the monster that is lit up, I can use the corresponding [Hundred Stories Card] to activate the corresponding ability?"

"Tsk, I didn't expect your system to be somewhat useful!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi digested the information transmitted by the system in his mind, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

No one knew better than him how powerful these monsters were.

If the effects of these Hundred Stories cards were really as exaggerated as those in the mobile game in his previous life, then he wouldn't have to worry about being killed by evil spirits for at least a long period of time.

"The first one to be lit up is Inugami? You and I are really destined to be together."

His favorite card deck in his previous life was the "dog-raising style" with Inugami as the core.

Uesugi Kiyoshi walked up to the scroll of Inugami and stood still, looking at the monster.

This is a majestic monster with a dog's head and a human body, wearing a blue samurai robe, with two swords hanging from his waist and a dog house on his back.

His eyes were disdainful, his mouth slightly curled up, revealing his ferocious fangs, and his hands tightly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, as if he would draw his sword and strike at the next second.

At this time, the Inugami's scroll was dyed with colors, making him seem real, and even Uesugi Kiyoshi, who was looking directly at him, felt a little pressure.

The Inugami was surrounded by the phantoms of eight cards.

Uesugi Kiyoshi stretched out his hand and two of the pictures emitted a bright light, fell out of the picture and jumped into his palm.

"Oh, do I need more mirage to unlock more cards?"

"Your ability to beg for money is somewhat similar to that of a certain Yi."

"But it doesn't matter."

"These two are enough for now!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi stared at the two cards in his hand, and a comfortable smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of his mouth.

There is nothing more joyful than having "power" in this chaotic world where evil spirits are rampant.

One year after traveling through time, Uesugi Kiyoshi felt for the first time that he could take his destiny into his own hands.

Chapter 5 Going to school

The next day, early in the morning.

Uesugi Kiyoshi got off the train, yawned, and walked to school carrying his schoolbag and sword bag.
