Chapter 9: The mythical beast named River Crab is watching you

Deep in the mountains, there is a huge mansion that is unknown to outsiders.

"My lord, new intelligence has arrived. The commander seemed very anxious after reading it, so he asked me to deliver it immediately."

After hearing the words of the hidden member and his slightly breathless voice, Ubuyashiki Yoya nodded gently while sitting in the courtyard, and then reminded him: "You have worked hard during this period. Take a rest when you have time, and don't overwork yourself."

Hearing this, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps felt warm in their hearts, and then said gratefully, "As you command!"

After saying that, the members of the Hidden Sect turned around and left without disturbing the Lord any further. After that person left, Ubuyashiki Yoya also opened the letter slowly and read the message carefully.

As a gentle and hardworking person, even in the most critical moments, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya can handle everything in a leisurely and orderly manner. Stable and reliable are the most profound impressions that Ubuyashiki Yoshiya gives as the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps.

But this time was different. After seeing the message on the envelope, although he could maintain peace in his eyes at first, soon, even though his limbs were weak due to the curse, Ubuyashiki Kakuya still couldn't help but clenched his fists, and then he began to breathe rapidly. After a moment, he even picked up a handkerchief to cover the blood he coughed up due to emotional excitement.

Seeing this, a white-haired woman wearing a kimono and with a serene temperament also hurried over, supported Ubuyashiki Kazuya and said anxiously: "Husband? What happened? You look very bad!"

The name was Ubuyashiki Kazune. The woman knew that her husband had always been in poor health, but he was always wise and calm, a gentleman who could maintain his mind and demeanor no matter how dangerous the situation was. And now, why did he suddenly become like this, even coughing up blood, but his face was still flushed with excitement!
"A turning point has appeared!"

With a hint of heat in his eyes, Ubuyashiki Yoya excitedly looked at the message on the letter paper, and kept telling himself to stay calm. He then called the members of Hidden, and after a detailed confirmation that this was not false information and after on-site surveys by regional field staff, Ubuyashiki Yoya breathed a sigh of relief.

After confirming the truth of the matter, Ubuyashiki Yoya handed the letter to his wife. Similarly, after learning about the battle and the outcome that took place on that nameless country road, Ubuyashiki Amane also showed the same shock and shock.

Having quickly adjusted his emotions and state and calmed down, Ubuyashiki Yoya quickly gave the order:
"Call a meeting of all the Pillars! All the Pillars, no matter what mission they are currently carrying out, must finish it immediately. If they are too far away, they must immediately head to Tokyo to meet up!"

Following the order from Ubuyashiki Yoya, the Demon Slayer Corps soon began a new round of operations.

There are nine pillars in the Demon Slayer Corps. Except for the pillar who stayed behind to prevent any demon attacks at the Demon Slayer Corps base, the other pillars returned to the Demon Slayer Corps' base as quickly as possible.

"This mission seems very urgent. We need to be summoned back immediately!"

At the Demon Slayer Corps' base, the optimistic swordsman, Koibashi Kanroji Mitsuri, who was walking in the front, looked at Kocho Shinobu beside her with curiosity, and asked curiously, "Sister Shinobu has been staying at the base to take care of the wounded in Kocho. Do you know why the lord did this?"

Hearing the question from the Love Pillar, the Insect Pillar Shinobu Kocho, who was wearing a soldier's uniform inside and a haori outside with a long sword hanging from her waist, also shook her head and said gently, "Although I am the Pillar staying here this time, the lord has not told me the relevant information. But as far as I know, it seems that the Hidden Department has found some valuable clues, which seem to be related to one of the upper moons in the Twelve Demon Moons."

After hearing what Shinobu Kocho said, all the pillars present became nervous for a moment.

The Twelve Demon Moons are the most powerful demon generals under Muzan Kibutsuji. Each of them has a terrifying strength far beyond that of ordinary demons. At the same time, each of them has blood on their hands and is an unforgivable person who regards humans as food. If it is a lower moon, it will be fine. With a full burst, even in a one-on-one, they can barely maintain a balance. But if it is an upper moon...

If the lower ranks were replaced from time to time, then the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps had already known about the existence of the upper ranks almost from the first day they joined the team. Especially some members of the Demon Slayer families in the Demon Slayer Corps, they even grew up hearing the names of these upper ranks.

If the lower strings usually kill hundreds of people, then each of these upper strings has thousands of lives! It can be said that each upper string is undoubtedly catastrophically powerful.

Are they going to launch a siege? The pillars thought, but even if they were to launch a siege, they would have to be prepared to lose a few people. Otherwise, if they were not careful, the other side would escape! By then, if the news leaked out, these evil ghosts would definitely not miss the opportunity to surround and kill the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps!

Realizing this, the pillars who were originally curious about why their lord had summoned them back quickly calmed down and arrived at the courtyard where Ubuyashiki Yoya was.

After entering the courtyard, Ubuyashiki Yoya was slightly stunned by everyone's solemn expressions, and then asked curiously: "Everyone, why are your expressions so solemn? Did something happen?"

After hearing Ubuyashiki Yoya's question, the pillars present looked at each other, and then Shinobu Kocho said, "My lord, is it because of the upper-rank demon that you summoned us here?"

"Yes,"

"Then we are all ready!" After hearing the lord's words, before Shinobu Kocho could say anything, a loud and powerful voice came from the side: "If it is an upper-rank evil spirit, we are all ready to fight to the death! No matter what, we will not let him escape! Oh oh! Just thinking about it, my body is getting hot!"

As he spoke, the man with long hair that looked like flames, red and yellow, raised eyebrows, and glared angrily clenched his fists:

"We will definitely complete the mission! No matter what the cost! We will not let our lord down!!"

After hearing what Rengoku Kyojuro said and looking at the other pillars with determined eyes, Ubuyashiki Yoya also realized something, then nodded with a dumb smile and said, "You guessed some of it right, but not completely."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, the faces of the pillars also revealed a trace of confusion and curiosity. Facing the gazes of the crowd, Ubuyashiki Yoya said calmly: "In fact, I want to inform you of a good news. Three demon hunters from the other side of the ocean know what happened here and decided to help us. And it has been confirmed that with the help of the Demon Slayer Corps member "Tanjiro Kamado", the three demon hunters from the other side of the ocean have successfully killed an upper-rank demon, whose name is Hantengu, and is the fourth upper-rank demon!"

After hearing what Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said, everyone present couldn't help but widen their eyes.

There was silence for a moment, and the Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen asked curiously:

"Ghost hunters from across the ocean... Could it be that there are evil ghosts like the ones we have here in other places?"

"This is unknown for the time being. We have very limited knowledge of the identities of these three visitors." Facing Uzui Tengen's question, Ubuyashiki Yoya shook his head. But after frowning and thinking for a while, Ubuyashiki Yoya also said:
"Speaking of which, although it is said to be on the other side of the ocean, according to the intelligence, one of the three seems to be a ninja, and the other is also a pregnant girl in a kimono, but both of them can speak foreign languages ​​fluently. Yin once wanted to use these clues to conduct an investigation, but until now, even though the Yin department has tried its best, it still hasn't found any traces."

Hearing the words of his lord, Uzui Tengen was stunned at first, then frowned slightly and said, "Are there any images?"

"Yes, when they passed by, the camp took a picture with a Western camera and sent it over." As he spoke, Ubuyashiki Yoya took out a photo from his arms and handed it to Uzui Tengen.

The idea of ​​the camera can be traced back to Leonardo da Vinci in the 1826th century, and the modern camera and photograph were invented by Frenchman Nicolas Niep in . Since then, camera technology has been constantly innovating and developing, and in the Taisho era, the current Demon Slayer Corps has also used cameras produced by Kodak.

Well, usually, even the Demon Slayer Corps rarely uses this kind of precious imported goods. But there is no other way. The death of an upper-rank evil spirit can be said to be a great encouragement and motivation for the Demon Slayer Corps. In order to determine the situation, Ubuyashiki Yoya is ready for a heavy loss.

As the head of the Demon Slayer Corps, the Ubuyashiki family is also a major landowner and businessman in Japan.

Although he was not unfamiliar with the photo, after seeing it, Uzui Tengen still couldn't help but let out a sigh, then raised his head and looked at Ubuyashiki Yoya, asking with some confusion: "My lord, why is this person in the photo..."

As he spoke, the other pillars nearby also looked at the photo, and then they all showed surprise.

In the photo taken by the camera, Wolf, Tanjiro, and Hen Wakako are all very clear, and it can be seen that the hidden department specially found a good angle to shoot. And it was not a candid shot, but a frontal shot with the consent of Ron and others.

But even in this case, the face of the ghost hunter in the file, who was wearing a tricorn hat with a brim that looked like burning feathers, was still unclear. In other words, there was a strong exposure.

"This gentleman's name is Ron. He cannot be photographed, drawn, or even recorded." Feeling the confusion of the crowd, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said calmly with a bit of solemnity and confusion:

"We asked these three ghost hunters from other regions before filming, and only started filming after they agreed. But no matter what angle or space, even in a closed room, Mr. Ron's face could not be photographed. In addition, even face-to-face painting is useless. Once you look away, it is difficult to recall the detailed appearance and graphics, and the same is true for written records."

As he spoke, Ubuyashiki Yoya pursed his lips and explained: "This is a person who can only be seen with the naked eye, and cannot be recalled or depicted by any means."

'...'

After hearing the words of the leader, everyone fell silent. After a moment, the oldest and most powerful rock pillar, Beimingyu Xingming, whispered "Namo Amitabha" and then asked, "Master, if this is the case, what are you going to do?"

"Get ready for a fight." Looking at the people in front of him, Ubuyashiki Yoya said, "Sir Ron has already confirmed that their target is the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji. And according to Sir Ron, he will be waiting for us in Tokyo in three days for a formal meeting. And ten days later, the location will be decided by us, and we will find a way to attract Muzan Kibutsuji here. By then, we will also be included in the group, to surround and kill Muzan Kibutsuji!"

With a look of solemnity and determination, Ubuyashiki Yoya said solemnly: "Let's end all the hatred between Demon King Kibutsuji Muzan and the Demon Slayer Corps in one fell swoop, and put an end to it in Tokyo in ten days!"

While Ubuyashiki Yoya and the Demon Slayer Corps were still preparing for the decisive battle, almost emptying their family's savings to increase their chances of winning, on the other side...

Ron was shaking a bunch of golden twenty-yuan coins in his hand, and almost the moment he walked into Shinjuku Street, he had become the coolest guy on the street.

After all… Each of these twenty-yuan coins weighs sixteen grams and is made of 0.9% gold. Although it looks like only a handful, it is already several months' salary for many people.

In the fourth year of the Taisho era, Japan could definitely be considered the leader in industrialization development among Asian countries. If we go back seven or eight years, we might have met Lu Xun studying medicine in Sendai.

In this special era, it is no wonder that many writers such as Lu Xun once advocated the de-sinification of Chinese characters, because the gap between different civilizations was too great. Although this may seem foolish and wrong to later generations, in that era of awakening and change, even wrong ideas were better than sticking to the old ways and refusing all changes. The reason is that the truth becomes clearer the more it is debated.

Countless advances have been made through countless debates on different ideas.

Thinking of this, Ron couldn't help but touch his chin.

How about going to the other side of the sea while carrying out the mission...?
As for Ron's thoughts, there was no need to ask or consult, the system gave an accurate answer in a timely manner -

[If you want to die, please don't take me with you. 】
