Chapter 93: To Stop or Not to Stop
Uesugi Kiyoshi has decided not to disclose anything about the other dimension for now.
These are two similar worlds, even the family relations and appearances are the same. The only difference is that on the other side, there seems to be no endless strange occurrences.
Under his leadership, humans have shifted their view of strangeness from "terrifying presence" to "dangerous wealth", but there are always people who want to live a different life.
Once the two worlds begin to interact, identifying identities becomes a major issue that cannot be avoided. Actions like Uesugi Masayo’s impersonations and murders are not uncommon.
Uesugi Kiyoshi doesn’t want to spend every day worrying about verifying whether Nakasone Kazuko is truly Nakasone Kazuko or if Tomie Kawakami is really Tomie Kawakami.
Not to mention whether there are other potential threats in that world, which remains unknown.
He is preparing to establish an expedition team composed of Headless Sculpture, shadows, and humans to explore the detailed situation in the other place, and make further arrangements.
As for the two impostor parents, how to arrange them is also a headache.
While Uesugi Kiyoshi is worrying with his head in his hands, Nakasone Kazuko walks into the office holding an acceptance letter, with a satisfied smile on her face.
"Kiyoshi, I got accepted into Tokyo University! My efforts have not been in vain!"
"Um, congratulations."
Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly realized that he hadn’t been to school during this period, and he didn’t even take the college entrance exam!
This was a far cry from the vision he had when he first arrived.
Nakasone Kazuko leaned in again, holding his hand, her eyes shining with hope, "You are going to the same school as me, right, Kiyoshi?"
"Of course!" Uesugi Kiyoshi replied without hesitation.
Half a month later, he, as an honorary professor at Tokyo University, accompanied Nakasone Kazuko to school.
Tokyo University, a world-renowned top-ranking university, was led by President Honda Yoko, who held a prominent position in Japan. He warmly welcomed the two with a group of professors and scholars.
"Miss Nakasone is here, she will receive the best service, please rest assured, Your Excellency Uesugi!"
"No, just treat her as an ordinary college student."
Nakasone Kazuko nodded eagerly on the side, but Uesugi Kiyoshi knew that his status here at Tokyo University wouldn’t be treated equally, at most he would be treated unequally.
"By the way, Principal Honda, as an honorary professor of the school, do I need to do anything?"
In response to Uesugi Kiyoshi’s question, Honda Yoko seemed caught off guard, took a while before saying, "Well, your work is so important, how can it be wasted here?"
"There is still time to give lectures to the university students," Uesugi Kiyoshi replied with a smile.
When he was in college, there were often famous figures coming to give lectures. Watching these people confidently speaking on stage, Uesugi Kiyoshi at that time truly envied them.
As the saying goes, after thirty years on one side of the river, after thirty years on the other side, it’s finally his turn now, hehe!
"Um, Your Excellency Uesugi…" Honda Yoko wiped her sweat frantically, finally made up her mind and with gritted teeth said. Since Your Excellency is willing to spare the time…
"Forget it, Kiyoshi probably doesn’t have the time for this," Nakasone Kazuko said on the side.
Uesugi Kiyoshi was about to argue, but he felt the strength in the girl’s palm, instantly understanding.
Has the legend of his special abilities reached Tokyo University already?!
Unexpectedly, the esteemed university president turned out to be so stubborn!
Uesugi Kiyoshi stood up suddenly, his icy gaze sweeping across the room.
Just as he was about to speak out against their ignorant beliefs, a young female professor behind Honda Yoko stood up and dashed out like a startled rabbit.
…
The bodyguard outside hesitated and looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi, his meaning clear without words.
Stop or not?
If he stops, what if there really is a problem, wouldn’t he be confirming his special abilities?
But if he lets it go, who knows how many billions will be lost!
Uesugi Kiyoshi eventually made a difficult decision and gestured for the bodyguard to stop her.
Seeing the unsurprised expressions on everyone’s faces, he coughed and explained to the female professor, "This lady probably has an urgent matter to attend to, or perhaps she doesn’t know me well and thinks I might get angry…"
"I confess!"
The female professor crouched on the ground, trembling hands reaching towards her back.
"Rip!"
It seemed like she pulled a zipper, then the female professor struggled to move forward a few steps, leaving her clothes and skin behind, revealing a completely muscular figure in front of everyone.
Strands of red muscles and white tendons were clearly visible, with her movements causing the muscles to ripple like a caterpillar, white tendons on her limbs appearing as if they might pop out like missiles, protruding and retracting under a semi-transparent membrane, repeating this motion.
Tears rolled down the female professor’s reddish face muscles, as she looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi, pleading, "But I’m really not bizarre, this is the effect of an Alchemy potion!"
……………
The female professor named Maya Kawabe, her brother-in-law is a modern alchemist who dedicated his life to researching immortality.
After decades of non-stop attempts and relentless experiments, he finally completed the formula for this elixir, applied it all over his body, waited for it to dry, then peeled it off, believing he would attain immortality.
That was his belief, but the outcome was different.
After peeling off the elixir, his skin also peeled off, leaving only muscles and fat, resembling a medical specimen.
The alchemist went into shock and died from not being able to accept this fact, but his wife who witnessed the entire process discovered a new world.
Seeing her husband’s exposed muscles, she felt a supreme beauty, the flesh hidden beneath the skin was so beautiful that she, too, wanted to shed her skin in pursuit of that beauty.
As her sister, she naturally wouldn’t withhold from her only younger sister, so under the pretext that it could make her beautiful, Kawabe Maya also used this elixir.
"I really didn’t know my sister’s concept of beauty could be so strange, so please spare me, Your Excellency Uesugi!"
"Could you please… put on your clothes … and skin before speaking, okay?"
Kawabe Maya put on her skin and clothes in front of everyone again, but she needed help from others to zip up the zipper on her back.
Nakasone Kazuko, fighting her fear and disgust, approached and zipped up the zipper for her, then looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi.
"What are you going to do, Kiyoshi?"
"…How about we just pretend we didn’t see anything?" Uesugi Kiyoshi suggested.
