A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 381 374. Undercurrent

After leaving the nursing home, Xuanhao frowned and thought along the way.

Originally, his purpose of traveling across the world to come here was to find his sister's soul fragment. He originally thought that he would mainly find the host housing the soul fragment, and the next thing would be much simpler.

He just needed to go through the worlds one by one and try to resurrect his sister. But after this mission, he found that things were not as simple as he thought.

Through this mission, he realized that soul fragments could not only reside in human beings, and that only one fragment did not necessarily exist in a world. Furthermore, he discovered that if his sister's soul had not awakened, it would be difficult for him to detect that the fragment resided in the human body. Whose body.

In this case, it will definitely not work according to the previous action mode. Just caring about oneself and bumping around like a headless fly will not have any effect.

He had to do what he could before his sister's soul power recovered enough to sense the other fragments.

It's easy to prevent your sister from turning into a ghost, just kill Muzan Onimai Tsuji!

It's easy to make the host of the unknown soul fragment live a better life, just make the world a better place.

He currently knows two ways to remove soul fragments. The first is to kill the host, and the second is to make the host feel 'happiness'.

Xuan Hao never wanted to try the first method a second time. If he could only use the second method, it would naturally only make the world a better place.

And making the world a better place is naturally inseparable from the important step of destroying Muzan Kibutsuji.

In short, Xuan Hao came to a simple conclusion at this moment: all he can do now is kill ghosts and try to protect some people who may be harboring soul fragments.

To put it more simply - Wuhan must die!

(Oniitsuji Muzan:??????)

So Xuanhao was going to meet Kenichi Utsuya Shiki of the Demon Slayer Squad.

For safety reasons, the Uyashiki clan's mansion is moved every once in a while, and the method used to encrypt the route is more complicated than getting to the swordsmith's village.

However, it will not be transferred in the short term. Because Ubuyashiki Kenichi is already twenty-five years old.

Twenty-five years old is nothing to an ordinary person, but to people of the Ubuyashiki clan, they can already clearly foresee their own death.

So this mansion will be his resting place.

Ubuya Shikiken had arranged everything early in the morning. After his death, his child would inherit the title of lord, and his child had already been arranged to another secret base.

As the eldest son of the Ubuyashiki clan who wants to inherit the title of lord, for the sake of the continuation of the Demon Slayer Corps, they cannot even stay with their elders when they die.

They have received special education since birth, so they have already understood many things at a young age, shouldering the responsibility of the Demon Slayer Squad, caring for every swordsman who died generously, and completing the elimination of Demon Dance Tsuji Mu A miserable mission, this is the meaning of their existence

They know that their future will probably be the same as that of their elders.

Because of the presence of Onibatsuji Muzan, they became "cursed" people. This kind of pain was something they had to bear, like a fate.

They know their fate, and only by putting an end to the ghost dance will this curse end.

Ubuyashiki Kenichi sat quietly under the eaves, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

He heard the courtyard door being pushed open gently. Although he couldn't see it, he still smiled in the direction of the sound.

Although there were ferocious veins on his face, his smile was still gentle and could not convey the feeling of disgust.

"Mr. Xuanhao, are you here?"

Ubuyashiki Kenichi confirmed softly.

"Yes, you guessed I would come?"

Xuanhao came to Ubuya Shiki Kenichi.

He was a little surprised, surprised that this man seemed to have guessed his return, and even more surprised...

The passage of life.

Yes, Xuan Hao clearly felt at this moment that the life in front of him seemed to be crumbling. Perhaps due to the influence of the two forces within his body, he felt extremely clearly about this passing life.

Kenichi Ubuyashiki now is just like Enichi Tsukuni was when he was about to die. Jiguo Yuanyi swung a sword with only his last obsession when he was about to die, but this man relied on a certain obsession to endure the torture of the disease.

Ubuya Shiki Kenichi nodded slightly. The appearance of the ghost on the string was a very important matter. The bird had already conveyed the news to him as soon as possible.

He was a little worried at first, but became pleasantly surprised after hearing the good news.

No, using surprise is no longer enough to describe his mood at the moment.

Hearing that someone had defeated the Winding Ghost alone, and that it was a crushing victory, he seemed to have renewed hope.

After the death of Ji Kunienichi, although the 'remaining power' was still there, Demon Dance Tsuji Muzan was temporarily inactive, but he knew very well how difficult it would be without Ji Kunienichi with the power of the Demon Slayer Squad.

After enduring decades of oppression from Kokuenichi, Kibutsuji Mumei will definitely take crazy revenge.

He thought that the Demon Slayer Corps might soon face its biggest disaster in hundreds of years, but what surprised him was that the newly appointed "Mingzhu" seemed to be much stronger than he thought!

"The haunting of the Winding Ghost is not a trivial matter. I guessed that Mr. Xuanhao would come to see me."

Ubuyashiki Kenichi said with a smile.

"Yes," Xuan Hao sat down gently, "I came here to discuss two things with you..."

This was his original plan, but...he hesitated after seeing Ubuyashiki Kenichi's condition.

"Mr. Xuanhao, please tell me directly."

Ubuya Shikiken said with a smile and a sincere tone.

Xuanhao gave up the hesitation in his heart, because Ubuya Shiki Kenichi still had a faint smile on his face.

This man is not unaware of his physical condition, but the fact that he can still laugh proves that even if he knows that he is not going to die soon, he still wants to fulfill his duties.

"The first thing is the information about the Second Wind. I think this should be very important to the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps. After all, it will be very dangerous if you encounter such an opponent without knowing anything about it."

Xuanhao said that he told Ubuyashiki Kenichi all the information about the second string "Ghost Vine".

"I see, it's a very troublesome ghost blood technique."

Ubuya Shiki Kenichi also frowned after hearing this, "This information is very important and must be known to all the pillars."

As he spoke, he waved gently, and a few crows standing on the eaves flew down.

Yin, who was taking care of Kenichi Uyashiki, recorded the information on paper and let the bird pass it on.

"Have any other ghosts possessed such special ghost blood skills before?" Xuan Hao asked.

He wondered if all ghost abilities were this troublesome.

"It's not the same..."

Ubuyashiki Kenichi recalled the information about ghosts compiled by the Demon Slayer Corps over the past few hundred years, "But there are also many other troublesome ghost blood techniques, such as splitting, invisibility, walking through walls, and even controlling the human spirit. It's happened before."

"Is that so?"

Xuan Hao frowned and thought deeply. The ghost blood technique seems to have many functions?

"Yes, but Mr. Xuanhao doesn't have to worry. As long as we know their capabilities, we can take countermeasures."

Ubuyashiki Kenichi seemed to hear Xuanhao's troubled tone and whispered softly, "The Demon Slayer Corps has been fighting ghosts like this for hundreds of years. Although sacrifices are inevitable, we have never given up."

"Um."

Xuan Hao nodded slightly, thinking that it was really not easy for a ghost hunter in this world.

However, every world is actually similar. Just like hybrids fighting against dragons, and humans fighting against ghosts, it is the same. Even when humans fight each other, it is extremely cruel, let alone wars between different races.

"Mr. Xuanhao, what is the second thing you want to discuss with me?"

Ubuyashiki Kenichi asked with some confusion, is there anything more important than the information about the ghost of the wind?

"About Ghost Dance Tsuji Muzan." Xuan Hao's expression turned gloomy at the mention of this name.

"Ahem——"

Ubuya Shiki Ken became excited when he heard the name. Yes, it turns out that's the case. This is indeed a more important thing than the ghost of the wind! No, there is nothing more important than this!

The wish of the Ubuyashiki clan is for Muzan Kibutsuji to die!

"Please...please...Mr. Xuanhao, what do you want to say?"

Ubuyashiki Kenichi's voice was trembling.

"I have a grudge against him."

Xuanhao said.

Who has no grudge against him? Ubuya Shiki Kenichi was a little excited. There must be no one in the Demon Slayer Squad who doesn't hate Mutsuji Demon Slayer! ? But what if this is the case?

They couldn't find the hiding place of Muzan Kibutsuji at all, and even if they found it, they might not be their opponents. After all, this was the Oni King who couldn't even kill Enichi Tsujikuni!

"What I want to discuss with you is how to find him."

Xuan Hao frowned and said, "That guy is so good at hiding. It would be very troublesome for me to find him alone."

It was very simple to kill Onimushuji Muzan. He had seen Enichi Tsukuni's memories and already knew completely this guy's method of escaping. Wasn't it just to explode into more than 1,800 pieces?

It is not difficult for him to cut more than 1,800 swords per second. The only problem is that the guy can't be found.

"Mr. Xuanhao, you...you mean you can defeat him!?"

Ubuyashiki Kenichi caught the key point in Xuanhao's words.

The man in front of him now is not thinking about how to kill Muzan Kibutsuji, but jumps directly to the "hunting" part of finding the target!

What does it mean to find someone troublesome?

This means that as long as this man is found, he is confident that he can kill Muzan Kibutsuji!

"Yes."

Xuan Hao answered truthfully, "I met him once before I joined the Demon Slayer Corps, but he ran away at that time."

Hearing Xuanhao's words, Ubuya Shiki Kenichi became even more excited, and even wanted to burst into tears.

In the hundreds of years since the Demon Slayer Corps was established, they have never really defeated Muzan. It was not until the emergence of Enichi Jiguo in the past few decades that they finally saw hope.

But this hope seemed to be short-lived.

Because Enichi Tsukuni missed the only opportunity to kill Mukai Demon Dance Tsuji.

How many years? How many years have their family been waiting for such an opportunity?

But such an opportunity was helplessly missed.

That despicable guy, Kibutsuji Mukai, couldn't beat him and he was still cowering away!

After Kunoyunichi died, I thought there would never be a second chance. Unexpectedly, within a few years, such an opportunity would once again be presented to Ubuya Shiki Kenichi!

Ubuyashiki Kenichi forced himself to hold back his excitement. Now was not the time to get excited.

Because even if there is someone who can defeat Onibatsuji Muzan, finding him is still a problem of the century.

How easy is it to find a guy who deliberately hides in such a vast world?

And the most important thing is... Listening to Xuan Hao's words, it seems that Kibutsuji Mumei has been defeated by him once?

This is going to be difficult...

"Mr. Xuanhao should know that everyone in the Demon Slayer Team hopes to completely eliminate ghosts."

Ubuya Shiki Kenichi sighed helplessly, "But the Demon Slayer Corps has been established for hundreds of years, and it still has not been able to achieve such a goal."

"Is it because there is no one who can defeat Muzan Kibutsuji?"

Xuanhao asked.

"That's just one of the things."

Ubuya Shiki Kenichi replied, "There is another reason, and that is that Tsuji Muzan is an extremely timid guy. Mr. Xuanhao, you must know everyone, right? This guy has not appeared in human beings for decades. Within sight."

"I know, it's to avoid Jiguoyuan, right?"

"Now... I think that includes you. You said that Kibutsuji Muzan once escaped from you. I think with his timid character, he won't show up again easily."

Ubuya Shiki Kenichi was a little disappointed. The opportunity was clearly right in front of him, so why did he seem to miss it again? If Muzan Kibutsuji continues to hide, there is nothing they can do. What makes him even more sad is that if Xuanhao in front of him is also tortured to death like Enichi Tsukuni, then next time he appears like this, he will be able to defeat Muzan. When will the person be?

"I know that."

Xuan Hao certainly knew that the reason why Oniitsuji Mukai was still so cautious even after the death of Tsuji Kuniichi was probably because he was aware of his existence. "So I don't have high expectations. I just hope that you can mobilize the swordsmen to do their best." I’m just helping to search for it. It’s better to have more people searching than for me to search alone.”

Ubuya Shiki Kenichi did not refute Xuanhao's words. Of course he understood the principle that there is strength in numbers.

But he also knew that there was little point in doing so, because he had already tried it before...

When Enichi Tsukuni was still alive, although he was officially expelled from the Demon Slayer Squad, the Ubuyashiki clan had always been in contact with him, and they would still secretly provide information about ghosts to Enichi Tsukuni to help him. The action of killing ghosts.

During the decades that Tsukuni Enichi was alive, the Demon Slayer Squad was always taking the time to search for the whereabouts of Mukai Demon Tsuji, but unfortunately they still found nothing.

With a cautious character like Kibutsuji Mukai, as long as he suffers a loss once, he will not make the same mistake again.

The situation Xuanhao is facing now is exactly the same as that of Ji Guoyuan.

This is what Ubuyashiki Kenichi feels very sad about, but he is unwilling to give up as long as there is a glimmer of hope.

Ubuya Shiki Kenichi racked his brains to think about how to help Xuanhao solve the current problem.

Although he knew that his time was running out, it didn't matter. Even after his death, there would still be hope because Mr. Xuanhao still looked young!

It doesn't matter that he can't help Mr. Xuanhao, his descendants will continue to find ways!

etc! Time... time... Ubuya Shikiken thought with a sad face, right! Miss Zhushi may be able to help Mr. Xuanhao!

He suddenly remembered a ghost named "Zhu Shi".

Tamashi is a very special ghost. When Enichi Tsukuni was still alive, she had a secret cooperative relationship with the Ubuyashiki clan.

Decades ago, when Mr. Enichi was left from the Demon Slayer Corps, he revealed information about Miss Tamashii to the then-lord, who was the great-grandfather of Kenichi Ubuyashiki.

Since then, this has become a secret kept by every generation of the Uyashiki clan. No one among the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps knows about it.

Because Miss Tamashii is a ghost, there may be confusion if they find out that their lord is related to a ghost.

But now is not the time to think about that.

Ubuya Shiki Kenichi made up his mind, he planned to trust the man in front of him.

"Does Mr. Xuanhao believe that there are ghosts in this world that don't eat people?"

"???"

Xuan Hao was a little confused. Weren't they discussing how to find Oniitsuji Muzan? Why did Ubuya Shiki Kenichi suddenly ask such an incomprehensible question?

"Why do you ask this question suddenly?"

"What I'm going to say next is a secret that the Uyashiki clan has kept for decades," Kenichi Uyashiki continued without answering Xuanhao's question, "So I hope Mr. Xuanhao can believe what I'm going to say next."

"Does this have something to do with ghosts that don't eat people, right?"

Xuanhao asked.

"Yes."

Ubuya Shiki Kenichi nodded slightly.

Xuan Hao frowned. If it were a ghost that doesn't eat people, he probably wouldn't believe it before. After all, he has seen many ghosts in this world for so long, and they all eat people.

But now... he had to believe it, because the 'Moon Puppet' with the soul fragments in her body had never eaten people. She relied on absorbing human blood. Although she could also kill people, her living habits were different from those of ordinary people. Compared to ghosts, they are quite special.

Xuanhao looked at Ubuyashiki Kenichi in front of him with some excitement. Could it be that this lord also has information about this special ghost? Maybe it’s related to the soul fragment! ?

"About sixty years ago, I was not born at that time, but it was my great-grandfather who served as the head of the Demon Slayer Squad."

Ubuya Shiki Kenichi spoke softly.

"When Mr. Enichi met the ghost Tsuji Muzan for the first time, there was another ghost present..."

Another ghost? Hearing this, Xuan Hao suddenly felt a sense of loss. It seemed that it had nothing to do with his sister's soul fragment.

He also remembered that such a ghost did exist in Jiguo Yuanyi's memories.

The name of this ghost is ‘Zhu Shi’.

She is also a very special ghost, because she is probably the only ghost in the world that has escaped the control of Muzan Kibutsuji!

But it is a pity that the ghost's escape from control has nothing to do with the fragment of his sister's soul. It was because of the extreme weakness of Onibatsuji Muzan, who was severely injured by Enichi Tsukuni at that time, that she had the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Speaking of not eating people, that was only after she was freed from control, so this ghost was not actually a special existence before, but Enichi Jiguo affected her destiny.

"...So I think if Mr. Xuanhao can cooperate with Miss Zhushi, he should be able to help."

Ubuyashiki Kenichi's expression became very serious after he finished telling the information about Tamayo, "But only if Mr. Xuanhao is willing to believe that Miss Tamayo is not a cannibal, can I tell you her location."

"Is this for her safety?"

Xuanhao asked.

"Yes."

Kenichi Ubuyashiki nodded slightly, "This is a secret that only the head of the Ubuyashiki clan knows. We have all promised to ensure the safety of Miss Tamashii. If you cannot promise to guarantee her safety, I cannot tell you where she is. "

"Understood," Xuan Hao nodded lightly, "I'm not that extreme of a ghost hunter."

"Ahem..."

Ubuya Shiki Kenichi coughed violently. Although he was happy to hear Xuanhao believe what he said, his body really couldn't support it for too long.

"In that case, that's great."

He waved his hand and summoned a crow, "This crow will help you find Miss Tamashi, but please don't show hostility when you meet her. Although our Uyashiki clan maintains a cooperative relationship with her, that is just It was when Mr. Yuanyi was still around... The contact between us has been basically cut off since Mr. Yuanyi passed away. She would probably be cautious if he suddenly went to find her now, right?"

"Understood."

Xuan Hao nodded lightly, "Then I won't disturb your rest. Please... take care of yourself."

He looked at this young man in his twenties with some regret. This young man's physical condition had probably reached its limit, and he didn't know how long he could last. He might die in the next moment.

Faced with such a 'curse' and dragging his body with such a disease, every day of his life in the following days will be painful for Kenichi Ubuyashiki.

"Then I wish Mr. Xuanhao good luck in martial arts..."

Ubuyashiki Kenichi said with a smile.

He did not say goodbye, because this was the last time he talked to this man. Being able to help this man who hoped to kill Mukai Kibutsuji at the end of his life was considered as living up to the mission of the Uyashiki clan.

Although he can no longer see it, he still...

"I hope you can successfully eliminate Muzan Kibutsuji."

"Don't worry, I promise you."

Xuan Hao stood up and slightly saluted the young man sitting in front of the mansion.

This person is dead.

Just after saying the last words, he left with a smile on his face.

It was long overdue for the man, who was ravaged by the disease, to relax.

But some kind of obsession allowed Ubuya Shiki Kenichi to support his tortured body until now. At this moment, when he saw hope and felt relieved, he finally put down his burden and left peacefully.

Sensing the death of its master, the crows circled in the air for several weeks, chirping sadly.

"Let's go - let's go - let's go -"

But it still did not forget its mission, and finally landed on Xuan Hao's shoulder. The master's last order was to take the man to see the ghost named Zhu Shi.

"Is this what life is about?"

Xuanhao looked at Ubuya Shiki Kenichi, who was still smiling after leaving in front of him, and seemed to have a little more understanding in his heart.

This man fulfilled his mission brilliantly, and after his death, his children will continue to carry on his legacy.

This kind of inheritance seems sad and cruel, but this man can still leave with a smile. I guess he has no regrets, right?

…

In the dark alley, a figure the size of a mouse emerged from the ground.

"What a risk, what a risk, what a risk!"

Kito gasped for air, his face full of panic.

He was so close, so close that he was done playing! If he hadn't finally gotten out of his wits and abandoned the shell and burrowed into the ground, he felt that he would definitely die at the hands of that man. It was really terrible! How could there be such terrible humans in the world?

His body was shaking like a conditioned reflex. The fear originating from his bloodline overlapped with his own fear, making him completely unable to control his body.

Oni Teng hid in a dark corner and shivered as if he was having a convulsion.

But soon the trembling of his body stopped abruptly.

"grown ups?"

He felt the call of the adult, and instantly felt that his heart skipped a few beats.

The adult was urging him over, as if he had something to entrust to him.

But... he had just returned from a miserable defeat and was in such a mess. How should he go to see that adult? Despair overwhelmed the fear, causing his body to stop shaking.

Kito had almost seen his future being dealt with by that adult, but he did not dare to disobey the order, otherwise he would die suddenly on the spot.

The body that stopped trembling quickly moved and burrowed into the ground again.

"Trash, trash, trash, trash! It's all trash!"

Oniwu Tsuji Muzan scolded with a sullen face.

The team at the end of the string, Yue Puppet! He clearly ordered all the ghosts to stay as far away from that man as possible, but this loser actually disobeyed his order! Do you really think that the blood he bestows is free of charge?

There is also the second string, Ghost Vine! It’s also waste! I thought that it would be okay if a loser like Xia Xian was killed, but I didn't expect that even Xia Xian II was so useless and asked him to test that man's strength. What was the result? Is this called temptation? After being punched a few times, he ran away in despair!

Who told you to run away? ? Try your best to test it! Even if you die, you can still play some role for me! waste! Do you want me to do it myself? Ghost Dance Tsuji Muzan roared in his heart.

"Sir...Sir! I'm here..."

The ghost vine emerged from the ground, like a newly sprouted seedling, with only its head exposed.

His body was trembling in the cave because he could clearly feel the anger escaping from Ghost Dance Tsuji Muzan's body.

Kibutsuji Muzan turned his head gloomily, his red plum eyes becoming scarlet due to anger.

He gently stretched out his hand, and a head as big as a date stone appeared in his hand.

Kito looked at the angry man in front of him in horror, not even daring to breathe.

He didn't dare to resist, even if his head was taken off by this man, he didn't dare to say a word.

Because this man can decide his life or death with just one thought.

"Do you know what mistake you made?" Kibutsuji Muzan suppressed his anger.

"I know... I know!" Kito didn't dare to tremble when his head was pinched by Kibutsuji Muzan on his fingertips. "I know I was wrong. It was me who was useless! I couldn't defeat that man."

"Victory?" Blue veins popped up on Kibutsuji Muzan's forehead. Even he was afraid of this man, this loser actually said he wanted to defeat him! ?

"Do you understand what my order is?"

"Ming... understand!" Kito recalled anxiously, "Yes! It was to test that man's strength! I was wrong... I was wrong! I'm sorry... Sir, please give me another chance! Next time! Next time I will I will definitely be able to test out that man’s strength!”

Oniwu Tsujimu's ferocious eyes came closer.

The red plum-colored eyes stared intently at the head in front of him, which was no bigger than his eyeballs.

Kito swallowed the non-existent saliva, and a reddish light enveloped his entire head. He could almost see the scarlet bloodshot eyes in the adult's eyes.

"are you sure?"

A sound like coming from hell sounded from below.

Kito's head finally couldn't help but start to tremble, "It's...sure! Please give me another chance, sir. I will definitely...definitely be able to do it this time!"

"very good!"

Ghost Dance Tsuji Muzan's voice was full of anger, and he held the head with his fingertips slightly harder.

The pale nails dug into Kito's head, and a trace of blood poured down the fingertips.

"Ahh——"

Kito couldn't help but scream in severe pain.

Power, power! He felt the power! The Lord gave him strength again!

With the influx of blood, Kito's entire head began to twist and deform, and his blood vessels began to expand, as if they would burst at any time.

"snort--"

Kibutsuji Muzan glanced disdainfully, then threw down the painfully screaming head and turned away.

"This is your last chance. If you don't get results, just die outside!"

"Ahhhh--yes--"

The screaming Kito's eyes were full of resentment, but he didn't dare not respond.

"Humans! Humans! Damn humans!"

He painfully put his head back on his body. With his body sharing the influx of blood, he finally regained his breath and gasped for air.

Feeling his body full of strength, he felt like he could do it again. They're all that human, no! Not just that human, the damn Demon Slayer Squad! He wants revenge, revenge on those damn ghost hunters!

Use this power to crush all humans!

Black vines slowly rose from the ground, lifting the ghost vine into the air.

The vines gradually twisted and condensed, and finally formed a human shape.

"No, not enough... not enough!" Gui Teng's eyes began to become bloodshot, and even the 'upper two' in his pupils were dyed blood red.

The ghost blood spell continued to erupt, and gradually, a huge shadow seemed to block the moonlight.

"Hmph, trash."

Wuhan, who hadn't gone far yet, cursed in disgust when he heard the movement behind him.

"Xuanhao! Demon Slayer Squad!..."

He gritted his teeth and walked towards the darkness, constantly mumbling these two nouns.

The Demon Slayers were obviously just a group of human beings who posed no threat to him. Before Tsukikuni Yun appeared, he didn't take the Demon Slayers seriously at all.

After all, what should he care about a group of humans who are fighting to the death to eliminate the most useless and weak ghosts under him? Instead of worrying about these humans, it’s better to spend more time looking for the ‘Blue Higanbana’. But he gets angry when he mentions this, and he has been angry for hundreds of years! There are no clues at all!

"A bunch of trash!" Wu Kuai cursed the useless ghosts under his men.

But as he cursed, he began to fall into deep thought.

"Human beings seem to be becoming more and more threatening recently..."

Whether it is Enichi Tsukuni, Xuanhao or the female swordsman who has not yet grown up with the "Breath of the Sun", the power of the Demon Slayers seems to be getting stronger and stronger, which is not a good sign.

"No, I have to think of a way..."

Kibutsuji Mumei's gaze became extremely dangerous, and he suddenly turned around, startling Kito who had just received the blood reward and was intoxicated with power.

"Ghost vine!"

"Here...here! Sir!" Gui Teng quickly shrank into a ball and said submissively.

"Go and find out the location of the Demon Slayer Base, and then find out if that man is in the base. If not... you know what to do, right?" Onimushuji Muzan's eyes were cold.

"Yes...yes, but...but sir, I am alone..." Guiteng was a little scared.

"You can call all the Twelve Ghost Moons except Hei Shimo. Don't let me down again, do you understand?"

"clear!"

…

Since you are going to see a ghost, the best gift is to bring human blood.

Xuanhao thinks so.

The ghost named Tamashi has escaped from the control of Onibatsuji Mumei and only needs to drink a small amount of human blood to survive.

Ubuyashiki Kenichi told him not to show hostility when he went to see the ghost, so Xuanhao thought about whether he should bring some gifts before visiting.

So he put some of his own blood as a gift.

There should be no better human blood than his blood in the world, right? Sincerity is certainly enough.

Following the guidance of the bird, he came to a very ordinary residential area.

In such an era, people could not build high-rise buildings, only wooden houses one after another.

Because it was night, the flow of people was not very dense. There were only bustling people rushing home.

Xuanhao stopped in front of a house with a signboard for a medical clinic.

Xuanhao gently opened the door.

The hospital is very deserted at night. If it is not a sudden illness, few people in this era will visit the hospital at night, but this hospital is different.

Because the doctors here only see patients at night.

This is natural, because the doctor here is a ghost, and ghosts cannot see the sun.

"please……"

In front of a desk with a kerosene lamp lit, Tamashi, wearing a white robe over a kimono, noticed someone entering the hospital and raised his head to ask.

But midway through her question, she was interrupted by a strong smell of blood.

What does this smell like? She had obviously transformed her body so that she could survive without eating human flesh and blood, but now she was still deeply attracted by the smell.

Even the bloodthirsty impulse that had been suppressed for a long time was ready to stir up again.

"Is this thin blood?" Zhu Shi looked at the man who walked into the hospital with confusion.

Is this man injured? If that's the case... She probably can't cure this person because she's afraid that she won't be able to resist the urge to eat him.

Xuan Hao naturally walked up to the woman who was looking at him in a daze and observed the woman carefully.

Except for her pale face, this is a classical beauty who looks beautiful.

A traditional kimono is worn underneath the white medical robe used to protect the body from blood.

But this woman's expression seems a little weird now.

After he walked in, the woman's breathing began to become a little rapid. After walking in, he noticed that there seemed to be a blush on the woman's pale cheeks.

Seems very emotional?

Xuan Hao knew that he was very charming, but he didn't think that the young woman blushed because of his handsome face.

Because this is a ghost... maybe it's because of the gift he brought?

"Gulu——"

Zhu Shi swallowed his saliva and said with struggle, "Sir... I feel a little uncomfortable tonight and it is not convenient for me to see a doctor. If it is not an urgent matter, can you please come back another day?"

She looked at the man in front of her carefully. He looked like an eighteen-year-old boy, but his dress and temperament clearly meant he was not that young.

"No, I'm not here to see a doctor." Xuan Hao shook his head gently.

He could see the woman's struggle at a glance, and he knew without even thinking that she was probably resisting the bloodthirsty impulse.

This is really not a embarrassment for her... Xuan Hao felt that he seemed to have picked the wrong gift. He underestimated the attraction of his blood to the ghosts in this world.

But this ghost is indeed not harmful to humans as Ubuya Shiki Kenichi said. Look at how patient she is now... Xuanhao feels guilty.

However, Tamashi can actually endure this. No wonder he is recognized by the Ubuyashiki clan.

"Then...are you injured?" Zhu Shi's face was a little solemn. She could clearly smell the smell of blood coming from somewhere on this man's body, but there was nothing unusual about the way this man walked. Where are the wounds.

"No, I'm not here to treat the injury either."

Xuan Hao shook his head helplessly. He did have injuries on his body. To be precise, there were many injuries. However, these injuries cannot be treated by doctors, not even ghost doctors.

"Then you are..." Zhu Shi looked at the man getting closer and closer with a forced smile.

A bad premonition suddenly arose in her heart.

He's not a human being who comes to see a doctor or treat an injury... He doesn't want to come and chat with her late at night, right?

"I'm from the Demon Slayer Squad." Xuan Hao said straight to the point.

Zhu Shi's face immediately became wary, and she took a few steps back hastily.

Demon Slayer Squad! ? She and the Demon Slayer Squad have not been in contact for a long time since the death of Ji Kunoyunichi. The cooperative relationship should have been interrupted. Why would someone come looking for her now? Do you want to get rid of her?

But...it doesn't seem right either.

Because this man was wearing the uniform of the Demon Slayer Corps and did not carry a Nichirin sword.

"Excuse me...what is your purpose?" Zhu Shi forced himself to calm down.

But her hands quietly reached behind her back, lifting up her sleeves to reveal her delicate white wrists.

The nails of one hand slowly stretched out from between the fingers, clasped on the exposed wrist, slowly inserted and stroked.

Red blood dripped from her wrist to the ground along the wound.

An inexplicable fragrance began to permeate the entire medical center.

Blood-inducing, visual dreamy fragrance.

This is Zhu Shi's ghost blood technique, which can affect other people's minds through the smell of blood, causing them to hallucinate and interfere with the other person's vision.

"Hmm - it smells so good. What does it smell like?"

The sudden smell in the room made Xuanhao shrug his nose, and he asked the woman in front of him with some doubts.

What! ? A trace of panic flashed in Jushi's eyes.

Useless! Her ghost blood technique had no effect on the man in front of her. How could this happen?

"Please...please ask this gentleman from the Demon Slayer Squad...what do you want?"

Zhu Shi's footsteps kept retreating, and she looked at the man in front of her with vigilance. If the ghost blood technique lost its effect, she would have no means to protect herself. This man is dangerous! Although the man was unarmed, for some reason she instinctively sensed danger.
