Chapter 89 This damn suffocating feeling
Chapter 89 This damn suffocating feeling (third update)
Lu Li held the handle of the Demon Prisoner Knife with one hand without moving. He ignored Hinazaru's warning, walked forward, grabbed the woman at the front desk by the shoulders, and threw her out of the store.
He glanced at Hinazuru calmly and said, "Try to evacuate the crowd. It should be much easier now that it's daytime."
Hinazuru looked at the man in front of her with some surprise, thinking, why are you so calm? Do you understand the situation? I am the one trying to save you!
What’s going on with the Demon Slayer Corps now? Are the quality of the new recruits so poor? Not only did they fail to understand my hints, they also dragged me into this, directly exposing her identity as a ninja infiltrator.
What surprised her even more was that she didn't expect that there were other ghosts lurking in this store. The person walking down the stairs on the left was a man. He was the prostitute who came to their store the night before. This did not match their previous guess about the identity of the ghost.
After investigation, she had basically determined that the ghost was the courtesan of this store, but why were there other ghosts?
Ghosts rarely act together, most of them are alone. If Yoshiwara is compared to a ghost cafeteria, then which ghost would be willing to share the cafeteria with others?
The worst thing was that the man with long hair and pink clothes who was walking down the stairs on the left at this time gave off a very bad aura. He was clearly a powerful man at the Twelve Demon Moon level!
How is it possible? Are there two Twelve Ghost Moons in this store?
However, before Hinazuru's shock was over, a new voice was heard from the stairs on the right.
"Haha, Mousse, you should be content. After all, this is only one-third of the opponent's combat power."
A bald strong man with a naked upper body came down the stairs on the right. He was actually holding a prostitute while he was speaking. However, the prostitute did not make any sound. If you look closely, you can see that her upper body is covered in blood.
"Gangpao, please be careful of the situation. I don't want to be stained by your dirt during the battle."
The long-haired man called Mousse frowned and locked his eyes on Lu Li below.
"Tsk, life is about enjoying it. Ascetics like you might as well join the other side."
Gang Pao said as he threw the prostitute down as if she were trash. The prostitute rolled to Lu Li's feet, her beautiful eyes wide open in fear.
Hinazuru was furious when she saw this scene and wanted to kill them angrily, but the next moment, the aura of the two ghosts made her feel cold down her spine.
"Quick...run away..."
She grabbed Lu Li's arm and tried to pull him into the sunlight, because she suddenly discovered that these two ghosts were both at the Twelve Ghost Moon level!
She could never have imagined that there would be two or even three Twelve Demon Moons in Yoshiwara. Fortunately, their husbands asked them to come here first to gather information, otherwise the Demon Slayer Corps would have suffered unprecedented losses if they had come here rashly.
She wanted to take this new member of the Demon Slayer Corps out with her. Then, with the advantage of the sun during the day, they could destroy the building from the outside. Even if they were not as strong as these demons, they would still have a chance of winning.
But what surprised her was that the new member of the Demon Slayer Corps in front of her was not only so stupid as to not understand what she said, but with her strength she couldn't even pull this man even a little bit.
Just now, in a desperate situation, she used all her strength, but the other party did not move at all, as steady as a rock.
Just when her brain was overloaded, new changes occurred.
It’s… dark outside.
"Haha, did you think we would just wait for someone to fall into the trap without any preparation?"
The long-haired man Mousse said sarcastically, "Even though you are alone, you should be able to make a profit, right? After all, you look very strong."
Lu Li glanced at the dusk outside. This situation did not surprise him. Just as he knew that it was advantageous to fight ghosts during the day, the ghosts also knew that the daytime sun was too deadly to them.
Some time before the start of each mission world, explorers will receive a reminder. The preparation time will vary depending on the authority of the explorer's mark, but they will have time to purchase supplies to cope with the next world.
If they knew they were entering the world of Demon Slayer and had already decided to hang out with Muzan, they would of course try to get some gadgets that could overcome the sunlight.
The outside should be blocked by some kind of masking prop at this time. Judging from the range, it should be a disposable prop. Otherwise, even if it only has a simple sunshade function, the range is too large. If it can be reused, it is not an effect that rare, purple-quality props can have.
It’s not that he looked down on the explorers of the opposing camp, but Lu Li felt that if there were explorers who could afford legendary items, the opponent would not have to use such means and could just come and attack him directly.
"What kind of blood demon art is this!?"
Hinazuru screamed in shock, because she couldn't understand what was happening before her eyes. If the demons had the ability to not be afraid of the sun, wouldn't the Demon Slayer Corps be in even more danger?
Lu Li stood at the entrance, his face calm, "So, are you the new Twelve Ghost Moons?" "Twelve Ghost Moons?"
Hearing this, Gang Pao sneered, "That's already a thing of the past."
As he spoke, he and Mousse brushed their hands over their eyes under Hinazuru's shocked gaze, and then numbers appeared inside.
The number in Mousse's eyes is 'lower seventh', while the number in Gundam's eyes is 'lower eighth'.
"How can it be!?"
Hinazuru looked at the numbers in the eyes of the two people with disbelief. The reason why the Twelve Demon Moons are called the Twelve Demon Moons is because there are a total of twelve people, the upper six and the lower six.
But what did she see now? It was the lower seven and lower eight!
Did Muzan increase the number of the Twelve Demon Moons?!
"Ha ha……"
When Hinazuru was shocked, she suddenly heard the laughter of the man next to her. The laughter gradually grew louder and louder, and finally seemed to be unable to be suppressed and turned into a wild laugh.
Hinazaru puzzledly let go of Lu Li's hand, wondering if this newcomer had been frightened to the point of losing his mind?
"What's so funny? Now that death is imminent, have you finally gone mad?"
Gundam showed a grim smile on his face and walked down the stairs. They were the twelve Lower Moons of Demonic Moon newly 'certified' by Muzan. Although there were only seven and eight numbers, it did not mean that their strength was weaker than the six Lower Moons in the original story. It was just that they had not seen those Lower Moons in the original story yet and could not fight in their place.
In terms of hard power, these explorers whose overall attributes are inhuman are stronger than any lower-rank ones, but are still inferior to the upper-rank ones.
Lu Li covered his face, as if he was forcibly suppressing his emotions, and his laughter gradually died down, but Chizuru, who was standing beside him, could still see the corners of Lu Li's mouth raised.
"Sorry, I'm a little too happy."
Lu Li put down his hands and said, in this world, killing a hostile explorer will have a chance of dropping a Dead Man's Treasure Chest, and killing the Twelve Ghost Moons will definitely drop a treasure chest. If these two settings overlap, it means that if he kills the two explorers in front of him, he will definitely get their property.
That's really... wonderful.
Gang Pao jumped down the stairs, holding a sledgehammer, and smashed Lu Li's head, "Die!"
The reason why they were willing to come forward and use props was not only because Lu Li had come to their door during the day, but also because they felt that Lu Li's strength was indeed impressive. Referring to their own situation, they felt that Lu Li might already be a pillar.
Then their side quests combined with the characteristics of the faction can reveal Lu Li's Dead Chest, which is a sure win.
Judging from the results of the reconnaissance skills, the opponent is a first-level top-level strongman with comprehensive attributes above 27 points. He should have a considerable wealth, which is enough to offset their investment in props.
He was originally an explorer with only 20 points of comprehensive attributes. After obtaining the power of ghosts, his comprehensive attributes have jumped to 28 points. He also gained the ghost's super-speed regeneration and hard membrane characteristics, and directly became a top-level first-class strongman.
In the past, he would not have dared to fight against an explorer like Lu Li, but now, he had become the stronger party, which made him very intoxicated, and he felt that Muzan's power was really useful.
Time slowed down in his eyes. He saw the sledgehammer in his hand approaching Lu Li's head. He seemed to have foreseen the scene of Lu Li's head exploding.
But the next moment, he saw Lu Li squatting down, and then his eyes blurred and he only saw a black line, and then he felt the world spinning.
The bald head of Gang Pao rolled on the ground, with some confusion and cruelty in his eyes that had not yet faded.
Lu Li squatted down with his sword sheathed. He stretched out his hand and brushed the eyes of the prostitute in front of him, closing them.
As he slowly stood up, the invisible aura rose and enveloped the entire space.
In Mousse's eyes, the man who was gradually standing up was like a rising peak. The heavy pressure like a mountain pressed down like a tide, making his heart almost stop beating.
Lu Li tilted his head slightly and glanced at Mousse, "Aren't you going to surround and kill me? Come on together."
Let me recommend a book by a friend, "Naruto Just Wants to Be a God of Death". Let's see how our Lord of Seireitei, the Captain-General, the First God of Death, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Naruto, creates a new world order.
