The two sides of the border are still in chaos.
Walking on the road to the suburbs with a logistics team member named Hayakawa Tada, Li Xuan asked: "Have you done a little investigation?"
"Yes." Hayakawa Tada's voice came out from under the mask, "The first disappearance of a member of the Sifang family occurred after a transaction with a businessman."
"What about the businessman?"
"Disappeared, no trace can be found."
"Is there anything unusual about the Sifang family?"
"Many members of the entire Sifang family have disappeared. Now the people in the family are in panic. Some people can't stand it anymore and have left the tribe."
"Well, I know, leave the rest to me."
"Thank you for your trouble." Hayakawa Tada bowed respectfully again.
In order to shorten the walking time, Li Xuan specifically asked Hayakawa Tadako about the location of the Shifang family, intending to rush there first.
After all, Hayakawa Tadako was just an ordinary person, and her speed was too slow.
"I'll go first." Li Xuan said to Hayakawa Tadako.
"Okay."
Then Li Xuan used the breathing method, and his figure moved forward like a shadow. When he passed by pedestrians, they thought it was just a gust of wind.
With Li Xuan's speed, he soon arrived at the door of a mansion.
"There is a smell." Li Xuan shrugged his nose.
He smelled the smell of ghosts from the sensitive sense of smell signed by Tanjiro and Urokodaki Sakonji.
"Sure enough, there is a ghost."
Knock on the door.
A woman in a red kimono opened the door and came out. Seeing that it was someone she didn't know, she couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"
"I'm here to solve the problem of your family members disappearing."
Hearing Li Xuan's words, the woman's face lit up and said, "Please come in."
Hayakawa Tadako had greeted the people of the Shifang family, so the other party didn't take precautions...
Li Xuan didn't hesitate and stepped in.
"I'll take you to the room to rest first, and then report to the head of the family." The woman took Li Xuan to a clean room and asked him to wait there.
After Li Xuan nodded, she bowed and left.
Not long after, a man with a stern face came to the door of Li Xuan's room.
"Hello, sir. I'm Shifang Zhenghe, the head of the Shifang family."
"Come in."
Li Xuan sat facing Shifang Zhenghe.
"Sir, you are a member of the 'Demon Slayer Corps' organization, right?"
Li Xuan nodded.
"Recently, many people in the family have disappeared. Although I think it should be the work of thieves or clan enemies, my wife thinks it is the work of 'ghosts', so I asked you to come." Sifang Zhenghe said slowly, revealing his distrust of the person in front of him.
Yes, the news of ghosts is blocked. For most people, it is just a folk legend without concrete basis. Otherwise, the Demon Slayer Corps would not be just a folk organization with hundreds of members.
Li Xuan understood what Sifang Zhenghe meant. He thought that ghosts were just imaginary things, and he was just a charlatan who swindled people.
"Where is your wife?" Li Xuan asked.
Since this person doesn't believe it, let's find someone who does.
"My wife is resting, so I came here." Sifang Zhenghe said, "I will give you some money. Can you return the same way?"
"Ha." Li Xuan couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Sifang Zhenghe's voice suddenly turned cold, and his attitude changed instantly.
"I just think it's interesting..." Li Xuan held his chin and joked, "Hey... Patriarch of the Sifang family, do you think there will be such a thing... Since the patriarch of a family does not believe in the existence of 'ghosts', will he come to receive them in person if only his wife believes it?"
"You!" It seemed that Li Xuan's words stimulated him. Sifang Zhenghe was furious and slammed the table directly, "If you don't want to leave, then don't leave! Damn it..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt a chill on his neck. When he looked closely, he found that the dark blue blade was already on his neck.
"You are obviously a person, why do you work for ghosts?" Li Xuan leaned over and whispered in Sifang Zhenghe's ear.
"You...you..." Sifang Zhenghe's voice trembled, and he couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
"Do you want to die?" Li Xuan had a smile on his face, but the words he said were like the cold wind in winter, piercing people to the bone.
"No!" Sifang Zhenghe shouted.
"Then tell me, what's the situation with the Sifang family?"
"I can't tell you! I'll die!" Sifang Zhenghe said in fear.
"Will you die if you tell me?"
I don't know, but if you don't tell me, I will definitely cut you with a knife. "
"I'll tell you!"
Li Xuan retracted the blade and sat back in his original place, still with a gentle smile on his face.
Sifang Zhenghe didn't dare to sit down again, shrinking his head and speaking timidly: "I am indeed the head of the Sifang family, but I am the successor after the death of the previous head. The previous head made a porcelain deal with a mysterious businessman, but he didn't expect that the other party was a man-eating evil ghost. He was eaten alive by the evil ghost and died. Then the evil ghost threatened me to work for him and cover up his cannibalism."
It's still a ghost that can develop sustainably...
Li Xuan thought that normal ghosts would eat people directly without caring about so much. This ghost should know that if the cannibalism is exposed, it will attract the people of the Demon Slayer Corps to come and destroy him.
"Originally, it wouldn't be a problem for a few people to disappear every once in a while, but I don't know why. Recently, the appetite of that evil ghost has become bigger and bigger. There are too many missing people. I can't cover up the news... and your arrival should be caused by a member of the tribe. "
"Heh..." Li Xuan sneered, "So your job is to clean up the mess for the ghosts?"
"I was threatened, so I had no choice." Sifang Zhenghe said with his head down.
"To be honest, I can smell a lie. There is nothing wrong with your other words, but you lied about the "threat." "
Hearing this, Sifang Zhenghe looked up in astonishment.
"Let me guess, you are not the successor at all, but a scum who has surrendered to the evil ghosts and worked for them in order to become the head of the family."
"You came to see me directly, and used words with obvious loopholes to confuse me, pretending to be angry and forcing me to take action, most likely to see whether the people of the Demon Slayer Corps are really strong. If they are strong, they will use the words of "being threatened by ghosts" to let the people of the Demon Slayer Corps kill the ghosts. If not, they will choose to get rid of or drive away the ghost hunters, and then continue to work for the ghosts. "
Speaking of this, Li Xuan couldn't help but think of Tanjiro. If he encountered such a thing, he would most likely fall into the trap and spare the other party after the other party made a nine-truth and one-false statement of "being threatened by a ghost" and begged for mercy.
After all, although Tanjiro's sense of smell is sensitive, it is still not as good as Li Xuan's superposition and fusion of the sense of smell of Urokodaki Sakonji and Tanjiro.
"And I can smell more than that, there is also a breath of a ghost rushing towards this side quickly!"
Li Xuan's words stopped here.
Suddenly, the air in the whole room seemed to condense, and it was so oppressive that it made people breathless.
Sifang Zhenghe did not move, and the surprised expression on his face became a little gloomy.
"Bang."
The door was suddenly knocked open, and a fishy smell came to his face, and a big mouth covered with minced meat bit towards Li Xuan's face.
"Water Breathing, Seventh Type·Shizuku Wave Ripple. "
Before the plain words were finished, the azure tip of the knife had already stretched out quickly, like a stone sinking into the water, suddenly piercing the neck of the attacking ghost, and creating waves around it.
The tip of the knife pierced the ghost's neck, and the head flew up, with the hideous face forever fixed on the flying head.
