Chapter 100: Asakusa's Muzan Camp
Chapter 100: Asakusa's Muzan Camp (th update)
Lu Li looked up suddenly, but did not see the familiar figure. Instead, a crow fell from the sky and spoke human language.
"Xiao Ya...I am Lu Li, for sure."
Lu Li replied that at that moment, he thought it was a roommate calling him.
After he came back to his senses, he remembered that when he was catching up on the anime in the space before, he discovered that the voice of the crow of the lord of Demon Slayer World was indeed very similar to that of his roommate Sosuke in the world of Death.
"Because of the hard work of Lu Li, he killed seven of the Twelve Demon Moons, including the Upper Six. Lu Li has now been promoted to the tenth pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps."
The crow hovered beside Lu Li and sent a message, "Master Mingzhu, the lord will convene a meeting of the pillars in three days. I will take you to the meeting place."
After listening to the message from the Crow, Lu Li suddenly realized that it was no wonder that his reputation was soaring. It turned out that his lord was promoting him. Now he was promoted to a pillar because of his achievements.
"I have become a pillar... then do I have any personnel that can be mobilized?"
Lu Li inquired. Unlike during the day, he was entering the city at night. Although he really wanted to kill Muzan when he encountered him, if a fight really broke out in the city, many innocent people would probably suffer.
Therefore, he hoped that the Demon Slayer Corps could make some efforts, at least make some arrangements in advance, so that if a fight really broke out, they could evacuate the people and reduce the losses.
"If Master Naruto needs it, I will send a message to mobilize the Demon Slayers in the area. We should be able to gather ten of them before midnight."
The crow replied.
Lu Li was a little disappointed when he heard this, but when he thought about it, there were not many people in the Demon Slayer Corps, and they were even rarer when they were scattered across the country. In the folk, they were like legendary beings just like ghosts.
Well, yes, there aren’t many ghosts actually.
After all, only Muzan Kibutsuji can create ghosts, and Muzan actually doesn't like creating ghosts. He always thinks that he should be the only noble and perfect creature. The reason he adds more of his kind is to let these ghosts help him find blue spider lilies.
Therefore, in terms of the overall population, even though there are demons wreaking havoc in the country, Japan's population is still increasing.
The vast majority of people will never see a ghost or a Demon Slayer in their lifetime, and those who do can only be said to be extremely unlucky.
"Forget it. You stay outside the city. I'll go into the city to do something."
Lu Li gave up the idea of gathering more people. If such a small number of people came here reluctantly, they would not be able to play a big role. If a fight really broke out, they would just serve as food for the explorers. It would be better for him to keep a low profile and go into the city to investigate.
Night falls in Asakusa and the lights come on.
Neon lanterns swayed gently in the night breeze, casting colorful light and shadows, giving the city a mysterious veil.
The shops on both sides of the street are brightly lit, with various signs competing for glory in the night sky, and the orange-yellow lights overflowing from the gaps in the sliding doors, with bursts of laughter and the sound of dishes colliding. The hawking of small vendors is heard one after another, and the aroma of grilled fish and sandalwood interweaves in the air, teasing the taste buds of passers-by.
Citizens shuttled through the crowd, some in groups of three or five, some alone. They walked in a hurry, their faces filled with fatigue and expectation of life. Occasionally, a woman in kimono passed by slowly, her elegant makeup looking even more gentle under the light.
A wooden boat passed by on the river, and the boatman's oars gently stirred the water, breaking up the starlight that filled the river.
Lu Li sat at the bow of the boat, the night breeze gently brushing his face, his eyes reflecting the starry sky and the lights of the city.
In this era, Asakusa is undoubtedly one of the most prosperous areas in Japan. The people living here have a high happiness index and their faces are filled with smiles, but they don’t know that this city has been dominated by evil spirits.
Lu Li changed his appearance from a pure black nightmare, wearing a straw hat and a wide robe, like a wandering wanderer. After entering the city, he had seen three ghosts, but they didn't notice him, so he didn't act rashly.
Because of Muzan, many powerful people gathered here. Once a war breaks out, tens of thousands of civilians will be killed or injured, so Lu Li can only temporarily suppress his desire for the treasure chest.
He admits that he does not have such a high moral bottom line, but he also does not want to cause large numbers of civilian casualties because of his desires and impulses.
Of course, he would not say that he would not take action because he was worried about the casualties of civilians. Just like he has already sneaked into Asakusa, preparing to gather some information and meet Miss Tamayo.
Hesitating because of concern for the hostages is also not his style. It's like when the police go to rescue hostages kidnapped by terrorists, but the hostages are eventually killed because the terrorists' demands are not met. You can't blame the heroic police action, but only the evil of the terrorists.
If the Demon Slayer Corps ignores the situation in Asakusa, the demons will continue to eat people, and some explorers will be even more brutal. They do not kill because of the desire to eat, but may kill for pleasure.
In this situation, if the Demon Slayer Corps does nothing, the people in Asakusa will also be dying a slow death, so it is impossible for them to not take action because of concerns.
Lu Li thought very thoroughly, he would consider the safety of the people in general, but if the Muzan camp found out that he had started a war, he would give it a go.
He couldn't protect everyone, but he could kill all those man-eating ghosts and avenge them.
While Lu Li was traveling around Asakusa, trying to find where Miss Tamayo lived, the explorers from Muzan's camp in Asakusa also gathered together.
In the dark alley, explorers who originally didn't know each other gathered together to discuss what happened during the day.
"Yu Shajian's group is already dead."
"They made good arrangements in Yoshiwara and prepared a sky curtain to deal with the daytime battle, but even with the help of Upper Six, they were all killed."
"It seems that a powerful pillar has appeared. It's not so easy for us to do our job well."
The explorers spoke one after another, and their words were rather obscure, because they knew that Muzan could always grasp the situation of those who inherited his blood.
Explorers need to keep the existence of the End Space a secret, but after Muzan gives them blood, he can read the explorers' minds. This can be concealed by the protection mechanism of the space. Muzan cannot see their true memories and thoughts, but if they openly speak of information related to the space, Muzan will know it directly.
"Yoshiwara is very close to Asakusa. Maybe he hasn't left yet and has come to Asakusa."
"Oh, that's perfect, isn't it? I don't believe he's still in top form after such a big fight. Find him and kill him, and we'll be safe."
"This should be what that gentleman would like to see, just like this..."
When several people were discussing, a voice suddenly came into their minds.
It was Muzan Kibutsuji's order that came down.
