The two hundred and twenty-first phase: Pathfinder's Abandoned Son(1/2)
On the last day of Meiji's forty-fourth year, groups of men in black walked onto the streets of Tokyo wearing masks, and the word "destroy" behind them was frightening. They joined forces with the reorganized Tokyo police to knock on doors and inquire about it, launching an extremely large search and investigation operation.
The careful search, the cumbersome inquiry, and the serious attitude made everyone panic, but they didn't understand what was going on.
The next morning, a foreign newspaper published an article saying that they had received reliable information from a policeman involved in the search - a ghost who could walk during the day appeared!
According to vague reports in the newspaper, the Demon Slayer team was chasing a female ghost. She sneaked into a mysterious place and stole an extremely precious thing, thus overcoming the sunshine. In order to prevent more ghosts from becoming like her, the Demon Slayer team launched an unprecedented large-scale search.
The government naturally did not admit a word about the report of this newspaper. Instead, it severely criticized it for spreading rumors and causing trouble, and later seriously closed the newspaper. However, the government's attempt to cover up the truth made the public believe in the so-called ghosts of the day.
Originally, there were ghosts appearing at night, but now they are not even at peace during the day. At least for them, this year is destined to be a bad year.
Most ordinary people live in anxiety and worry, but there are one exception.
That is Muzan Kimuzan.
He almost jumped up with joy.
Kimuzan's hiding place.
"That woman is really brave. She actually succeeded before me. She stole the blue red shore flower from Ashina..."
Kimuzan Muzan's expression was a bit subtle.
In the past two days, he has made up all the gaps based on the vague information in the newspaper and formed a complete set of self-consistent guesses. Who was the female ghost and where he stole something, there is absolutely only one possibility.
"From her current situation, it's only a matter of time before she is caught. Without the power to despise everything, what's the use of overcoming the sunshine? It's not that all her body is full of weakness... It's been four hundred years, and she hasn't made any progress at all! A stupid woman."
Seeing that the Joshi was in trouble, Muzan Kimuzan felt a little relieved for no reason and his body unconsciously leaned back slightly.
"But, since she has done this, how can I let her hard work be wasted? She has saved me a lot of effort in doing experiments. As long as I swallow her and assimilate her cells, I will have no weaknesses."
"Tsk, I can't wait to see the traitor's collapsed expression at such a big risk, but I made a wedding dress for someone else."
The huge temptation was right in front of him, making him feel a little fluttered.
But no matter what Muzan Kimuzan thought, he never expected that Zhu Shi would actually cooperate with the Demon Killing Team. Everything that happened in the past few days was just bait prepared for him.
The sun in the Temple, who was standing beside him, immediately understood what Kimuzan Muzan meant, so he said with a smile, "It seems that you are really happy to get rid of me. Are you planning to kill me, a temporary substitute now?"
If Muzan Kimuzan overcomes the sun through the Joseon, the meaning of the sun in the temple using the blood ghost technique to make Muzan Kimuzan gradually adapt to the sun will disappear.
That's why this question is.
"Hmph, let's talk about it after absorbing her."
Muzan Kimuzan rubbed his knuckles and analyzed with caution: "Who knows how many flowers she took and how she ate them. The same dose worked for her, but not for me. But no matter what, I can at least get all the memories of that woman about the Blue Ridge Flower!"
"Oh, why do I think you can't bear to leave me?"
"Don't gild your face."
Muzan Kimuzan turned his head, his ruby-like eyes were full of coldness, "I am already very upset when I see you every day. But for your contribution, I can make an exception to absorb you."
For more than a year, the sun in the temple has taken good care of him, but he often interrupts him regardless of the occasion or interferes with his decisions, making him unable to get out of Taiwan.
Muzan Kimuzan is a life with a very fragile and insecure sense. He cannot tolerate any kind of violation of his authority. It is normal to feel disgusted with the sun in the temple.
"Let's talk about those things later."
The sun in the temple squinted his eyes and his expression became a little unfathomable. "The problem now is, do you need me to take advantage of the troubled waters and follow the Demon Slayer Team and find an opportunity to bring that woman back? Tokyo City is so big, the Demon Slayer Team and the police have set up a net of heaven and earth. She does not have the power as powerful as you, and it will be a matter of time before she is discovered."
"If you ask you to go, you will definitely kill her."
Muzan Kimuzan looked like "I have seen through everything", and then ordered calmly: "Notify Heijimu and gather the ghosts wandering outside and let them all stand by near Tokyo. The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind... Once the ghost killing team discovers Zhu Shi, let him take those ghosts to stop the people from the ghost killing team, and then snatch Zhu Shi for me."
Then, he shook his finger gently, and two vague and transparent human-shaped air balls suddenly appeared in the air.
"Mr. Wusan."
Although there were two extremely respectful male voices in the room, there was nothing there to the ordinary people. The newly appointed third stern was actually two invisible ghosts.
"After Heihemu snatched Zhushi, you two of you kissed her and brought her to me at full speed, but you must not let Heihemu know where I am. Ask him to stay there, take those ghosts and kill all the people in the ghost killing team."
Muzan Kimuzan poked his body forward, with a strong threat in his tone, "Tell him that this is the last chance. I don't want to see anyone who shouldn't live anymore."
When he said this, he was already murderous, and the two transparent ghosts kneeling on the ground were frightened and sweated heavily.
At this time, the sun in the temple asked, "But, aren't you worried that Mr. Kuroki Mou will meet Ashina Yanichiro? He has mastered the long-lost Hirodao. If he doesn't do it properly, Mr. Kuroki Mou will be in danger of his life."
"So what? Just let Heiheimu test his quality and see how that little ghost's Hedao has reached..."
Muzan Kimuzan thought it very clearly.
If he could really overcome the sunshine directly after devouring the pearl world, then he would no longer need Heihei Mu and his subordinates - they were not trustworthy since a long time ago, and Muzan Kitsuki was too lazy to distinguish who was the spy and who was the loyal dog, and he didn't care about their life or death at all.
From the beginning, he created ghosts with only three purposes - looking for the red spider flower; cultivating ghosts that can overcome the sunshine and distracting the ghost killing team's attention...
Now, it is the time for them to achieve this purpose.
If you don't do it well, this is the last battle between those ghosts.
Muzan Kimuzan stroked the handle of the seat, and a ball of flame was burning in his heart, making him more and more excited.
For me!
Contribute your final value!
...
A few days later, late at night.
The ghost killing team members who were originally scattered in various streets in Tokyo received a reminder from Qia.
"The goal has appeared! The goal has appeared!"
One crow after another opened its gong and shouted loudly without caring about disturbing the people: "All team members! Gather outside Takino Gang! Gather outside Takino Gang! Please pay attention to all team members! Gather outside Takino Gang immediately! Gather outside Takino Gang! Gathering now!"
For a moment, most of the residents of Tokyo heard the ugly roar of the crows, not to mention the surveillance ghosts who were already hiding nearby.
"Did you hear it? Takinogawa! The people from the Demon Slayer are going outside Takinogawa!"
"Other me, please report to Lord Heidimu quickly!"
This is a ghost who can escape the ground and has the ability to clone his body (the ghost that Tanjiro killed in his first mission in the original work).
"I understand, keep following them, don't chase them, I'm the first one."
After the words came to an end, two shadows did not enter the ground.
One group followed the schoons and the ghost killing team, while the other group sneaked outside Tokyo, at a speed that was no less than when the Ashina koi was swimming in the water. A few minutes later, the shadow entered a valley on the outskirts of the city.
There were heavy breathing in the valley, but at first glance, it seemed that there was nothing. But as this hider broke in, strange heads poked out from the trees, shrubs and behind stones, revealing a variety of scary eyes, as if thousands of candles with extremely color matching were lit at the same time.
No one would have thought that thousands of evil ghosts were ambushed in the small valley - all the ghosts who survived under the same kind, Ashina and the Ghost Killing Team, on Honshu Island, were counted as one, and they were all gathered here at this moment.
Moreover, since Muzan Kimuzan had condoned similar cannibalism before, these ghosts had the worst strength to be close to the lower string, which combined was enough to easily capture a country.
"Where is Lord Heihemu?"
The ground-hiding ghost crawled out of the ground and shouted loudly: "Where is Lord Heiheimu? I have important things to report."
He looked around the valley, but he did not find the target.
However, the next moment, all the ghosts lying here trembled, and they turned their fearful eyes behind the hidden ghost, and at the same time showed a flinched expression.
“Say it…”
Hearing the sudden sound from behind, the Ground-Hidden Ghost was startled and turned around to look at him, six eyes staring at him without blinking.
Who is that if he is not Hei Shi Mou?
"Have the people from the Demon Slayer Team started to gather..."
Although he spoke calmly, he had a chilling smell, which made people not feel a little bit of resistance and disobedience. Of course, the few birds that were pierced by branches on the cliff in the distance and were inserted into the rocks waiting for the sunrise were the real reasons why all ghosts were willing to obey his orders.
"Outside Takinogawa!"
The Ghost Revealed Shrinked his neck and lowered his head and replied, "The Ghost Killing Team's Crow, inform everyone to gather outside Takino Kawa!"
"Have you gone to the suburbs... It's such a strange choice."
Hei Shi Mou muttered to himself in a slight voice. If he was facing Zhu Shi's current situation, he should have run to the place with the most crowds, so that even if the ghost killing team finds her, he will feel afraid of being thrown into a mouse because of humans gathering around him...
Kotakinokawa is already a village on the outskirts of the city.
Further out, there is a mountainous land similar to that here. That woman is not stupid, so why did she run outside?
However, just as he was thinking about the strangeness of Zhu Shi's choice, a cold shout rang out from the air where there was nothing: "Hei Shi Mou, you already know the whereabouts of the target, what are you waiting for? Do you want to disobey the orders of the Lord?"
Immediately afterwards, another voice followed.
"If you don't rush over, that woman might be killed by the Demon Slayer Team. Are you intentionally destroying the adult's plan?"
At this time, the two transparent ghosts sent by Muzan Kita-muzan to receive Zhushi were the two transparent ghosts sent by Muzan Kita-shi. They were both the third one and their strength should not be underestimated. At the same time, they also took the task of surveillance against Heiheimu.
"You guys go first..."
Heihei Mou ignored the two voices, but lowered his head and said to the hiding ghost: "Compare with your clone, lead the way for these ghosts, but don't be discovered. Use the terrain to surround the ghost killing team..."
"yes!"
Seeing these three slinged ghosts quarreling, he was eager to get farther away, "Everyone, follow me!"
"Ao!"
To be continued...
