I don't want to be an elf!

If you want other ghosts to join Ratatosk, you need a way to keep them from being haunted by the curse.

Zhu Shi's medicine is indeed effective. She herself is an example of getting rid of the curse by constantly taking medicine, but it takes too long to remove the curse.

Even if a ghost is willing to join Ratatosk, it needs a long-term recuperation before it can be counted as a real member.

And when they remove the curse, I'm afraid Itsuka Kotori will have left this world long ago.

That's why she needs a faster way to remove the curse.

Using her own self-healing flames to counteract the curse was the way she came up with in a flash of inspiration.

Fortunately, this approach did work.

Looking at the Oni who was no longer troubled by the curse in front of him, Wuhe Kotoli became happier.

However, at this moment, the door to the basement was opened.

Looking back, Tsuse, Yushiro, and Kamado Tanjiro all walked down.

The first two people didn't even have time to take off their white coats. It seemed that they had put down their work in a hurry and came here during research.

"What just happened?"

Zhu Shi's eyes moved back and forth between Wuhe Kotori and the ghost on the operating table, and asked tentatively: "We can hear the scream just now clearly on the second floor. What do you mean to this patient... ..What did you do?”

"Don't get me wrong, I have no interest in abusing people."

Sensing the surprise in everyone's eyes, Wuhe Qinli said lightly: "I just did a small experiment on this person just now, and the experiment went smoothly, and I'm fine now."

"Experiment? What experiment?" Yushiro twitched his eyebrows. "This is our patient. His family handed him over to us for treatment. Don't make any strange experiments."

"A test to help him remove the curse."

Itsuka Kotori took a step away and made a gesture of invitation: "The curse of the Wuhan cells in his body has disappeared, of course, thanks to me."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Luckily for Kamado Tanjiro, he didn't know much about curses.

But for Juse and Yushiro, who specialize in curses, it's unbelievable.

In this world, there is probably no one who understands the curse on Wumi's cells better than them, except Guiwu Tsuji.

It took Zhushi hundreds of years to develop the medicine to eliminate the curse, and it also took several years to completely remove the curse from his body.

Even if the man lying on the operating table has not been a ghost for a long time, and the Wuyou cells in his body are still unstable, the speed of removing the curse will be much faster, but it is absolutely impossible to eliminate it all within a few minutes.

However, when Zhu Shi looked at the unconscious man, her eyes changed.

The curse that was originally clear in the opponent's body was completely unfeelable at this moment.

Just like Wuhe Kotoli said, it disappeared completely.

"What did you do to this gentleman?" Zhu Shi asked curiously, "What method did you use to eradicate the curse in such a short period of time?"

"It's simple. I exhausted the power of the curse, and the curse will naturally dissipate."

Wuhe Qinli didn't hide anything, and stretched out a hand, and the purple self-healing inflammation appeared in his hand.

The reason why ghosts are killed by the curse is essentially because once the curse attached to the Wumi cell is triggered, it will control the Wumi cell to kill the host.

The ghost's recovery ability comes entirely from the Wuhan cells. Once the Wuhan cells are controlled, they lose their recovery ability.

Without a strong recovery ability, what awaits them is the fate of dying under the curse.

But Wuhe Qinli's self-healing inflammation solved this problem.

Oni's body will be destroyed by the power of the curse, and repaired by the power of the self-healing flame.

This process is extremely tormented.

It is absolutely impossible for ordinary human beings to endure it, and even the pillar-level members cannot withstand the extreme output of the self-healing inflammation.

Only ghosts with rough skin and thick flesh can bear it.

After telling everyone about the self-healing inflammation and the process of how to eliminate the curse, they understood the reason why the curse disappeared.

This made Jushi a little disappointed.

After all, this self-healing inflammation belongs to Wuhe Qinli's ability. In her eyes, it is similar to blood ghost art, and there is nothing to learn from it.

However, even if we can't learn from it, it would be good to have another way to eliminate the curse.

"Leave the job of taking care of him to me first."

When he came to the unconscious man, Zhu Shi checked his physical condition.

"If he can recover, maybe Ratatosk will have a new member."

----------

At the same time, in a mansion somewhere in Tokyo.

In a laboratory full of various equipment, a young child with black hair and red pupils who was doing some experiment raised his head as if he felt something.

A trace of doubt flashed in the eyes that seemed to be made of blood coagulation

The child's name is Yamazaki Tomo.

The adopted son of the chairman of Yamazaki Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

However, this identity is only one of his many identities.

With the ability to manipulate his body at will, he can appear in the eyes of the world with various appearances.

His real name is Ghost Dance Tsuji Mumi.

"The power I left on that man has disappeared." Kibutsuji Muzan muttered to himself, "It's really strange."

A few days ago, he was exposed by a member of the Ghost Slayer in Asakusa.

In order to create chaos so that he could leave calmly, he injected his own blood into the body of a passerby, making him his dependent.

As the ancestor of all ghosts, Tsuji Muzan can feel the power he has left in every ghost.

Or rather, a curse.

With the power of this curse, he can easily control the ghost's life and death, locate the ghost's location, listen to the ghost's inner voice, and even share the ghost's five senses.

Just now, he felt the curse of the ghost he left in Asakusa and disappeared.

And it disappeared in an extremely strange way.

"It doesn't look like he was subjugated..." Gui Wu Tsuji's eyes flashed with a strange light, "What happened?"

Generally speaking, if the curse disappears, it means that the opponent was killed by the Demon Slayer Squad.

In that case, the curse will dissipate immediately.

However, he just clearly felt that the curse he left on the passerby disappeared at an average speed.

It seems to be dissipating little by little due to some external force.

This feeling made an ominous omen in his heart.

"Asakusa, it seems that we need to investigate."

Onimai Tsuji looked out the window in a certain direction in Tokyo and muttered to himself.

"But the Demon Slayer Squad seems to be keeping a close eye on it recently. I can't go there myself, so I'd better let others investigate."

Chapter 14 Here Comes a Life

A month later.

The morning sun is just right, not as hot as noon, but it can also dispel the coldness of night.

In Asakusa, in a mansion decorated with wisteria flowers in the city, Kotori Wuhe was lying on a wicker chair, enjoying the sunshine.

This is one of the strongholds of the Demon Slayer Squad in Asakusa.

After knowing that Wuhe Kotori would stay here for a while, the Demon Slayer Squad lent her this place as a temporary residence.

The family members of the ghost killing team all enjoy good benefits. As a purgatory family who has been killing ghosts for generations, and the righteous sister of contemporary Yanzhu, Wuhe Qinli is naturally treated even more favorably.

Looking at Tanjirou Kamado who was practicing sword skills and breathing techniques in the courtyard, Itsuka Kotori couldn't help thinking.

How would other people feel if they knew that the defectors from the Demon Slayer Corps were living in the Demon Slayer Corps' stronghold openly?

Yes, after visiting Zhushi and Yushiro, Wuhe Qinli took the Zaomen brothers and sisters away.

After all, it's useless to keep these two guys there.

Bringing them back, I can still compete with them and try to improve the strength of the two of them.

"Commander, please also today."

After finishing the warm-up exercise, Kamado Tanjiro breathed out a foul breath, and signaled to Wuhe Kotori on the wicker chair that he was ready.

So, Wuhe Qinli yawned and sat up from the wicker chair.

If she hadn't appeared in this world, but followed the plot of the original book, the current Kamado Tanjiro should be resting and recuperating, learning more profound breathing methods by the way.

However, due to her appearance, the original plot has deviated.

Kamado Tanjiro, who originally participated in the Zhuzhong trial and was declared innocent, joined Ratatosk and became a defector of the Demon Slayer Squad.

Therefore, the improvement of strength can only rely on Itsuka Kotori.

As a family member of Enzhu, it is not difficult for her to get some information from the Demon Slayer Squad.

After handing over the training method of the final stage of the breathing method [Complete Concentration · Changzhong] to Kamado Tanjiro, Wuhe Kotori left it alone.

However, this does not mean that she did nothing during this period of time.

"Let the horses come."

Wuhe Kotoli picked up the wooden knife beside him and pointed it at Zamon Tanjiro not far away: "I hope you can make some progress today."

Just as she was Kamado Tanjiro's sparring partner, Kamado Tanjiro was also her sparring partner.

Because, after coming to this world, she also began to practice breathing techniques.

Although Wuhe Kotoli's fighting power is the only one that can pose a threat in this world, it is the ghost Wu Tsuji who has been completely transformed into a ghost, but she still has a biggest enemy.

That is herself.

The spirit crystal in Wuheqin is the only one among the ten spirit crystals that has not been completely purified.

In the original work, when Mio Takamiya handed this spiritual crystal to Itsuka Kotori, the spiritual crystal belonging to the Fire Spirit was only a semi-finished product.

This is also the reason why Wuhe Qinli's spiritual power is the most manic.

It is precisely because of this defect that it is extremely difficult for Wuhe Kotori to fight while maintaining reason.

Once her spiritual power is used to a certain extent, she will enter a state of madness, dominated by the desire to destroy.

This is why Wuhe Qinli in the original book sits in the rear most of the time and never takes action unless necessary.

She has already tested this point of madness.

When using spiritual power for the first time to compete with Kamado Tanjiro, Wuhe Kotori, who was dominated by the desire to destroy, almost beat him to death directly.

In order to maintain sanity as much as possible during the battle, she needs to use as little spiritual power as possible and use other methods to fight.

Otherwise, it would be too much if you have to go crazy every time you fight with the minions.

Breathing is a good substitute.

"Please enlighten me!"

Tanjirou Kamado took a deep breath, and slashed towards Wuhe Kotori with a wooden knife in his hand.

Wuhe Qinli only used a small amount of strength to bless the body, recalling the way of using the breathing method, spreading the power of Qi to the whole body.

As an elf, although her physical fitness is similar to that of an ordinary person without the blessing of spiritual power, her perception is far superior to that of a human being.

Ordinary people need to spend years to feel [Qi], she only needs to practice the breathing method a few times to feel it.

In this short period of one month, her breathing method has been gradually improved.

In the courtyard, the two of you come and go, gaining experience in the exchange.

Not only Wuhe Kotori had a good harvest, but so did Kamado Tanjirou.
