Chapter 102: It's Hard to Follow Boss Muzan
The pitch-black blade light streaked across the night sky, first cutting off a handball, and as Lu Li jumped, the blade cut off the evil ghost's neck.
Before the other ghost could be surprised, Lu Li flashed again and slashed down with another knife, beheading the arrow-head ghost as well.
Within a second, the two demons were killed, and their bodies fell from the air with a dull sound. The head of the handball demon Zhushamaru rolled to Yushiro's feet, making him feel a chill on his back.
Lu Li brandished his sword, blood surging. "I told you, this place is not safe... I'll only give you three seconds to make a decision. If you exceed the time limit, it will be assumed that you don't want to live anymore."
His charm attribute is not very high, which is not very useful in some emergency negotiation situations, but fortunately he also knows physical negotiations.
The Prisoner was already on Yushiro's neck while he was stunned. Lu Li looked at Tamayo and counted down, "Three, two..."
"No, I'll go with you!"
Tamayo made a judgment instantly and did not dare to hesitate at all, because she felt that the man in front of her was simply a killer. The Demon Slayer Corps wanted her, not Yushiro. If she hesitated, this man would definitely take action!
“Isn’t this quite refreshing?”
Lu Li took back the prisoner demon and said, "You will be given five minutes to pack your things and gather the research materials you need. I will help you take them away."
Although the handball demon Zhushamaru and the arrow demon Ya Haiba are not among the Twelve Kizuki, they are also Muzan's direct subordinates. This directly told him that Muzan was in the city of Asakusa and the other party had already discovered him.
But what surprised Lu Li was that the ghosts from Muzan's camp did not attack him after discovering him. At that moment just now, the two ghosts' target was not him, but Tamayo.
This made Lu Li very puzzled. Even if Muzan was very unhappy about Tamayo's betrayal, he should now prioritize dealing with himself, the ghost slayer.
Besides, Muzan thinks too highly of himself. He already knows his record, so why would he send someone like Karami to deliver himself?
"Yushiro, go to the study and move all the books out of the second cabinet."
Although Zhu Shi didn't understand why Lu Li gave such an order, she still did it. She guessed that the other party might have a car or something to help her take the research materials away.
After calming down, she also realized the crisis of the current situation. The two ghosts just now were clearly not attacking the ghost slayer, but were coming for her.
Wuzan has already discovered that she is here!
Then as time goes by, every second they stay here will be more dangerous.
"Hurry up, or I can't guarantee that you can get out of Asakusa alive."
Lu Li said that even though it was confusing that Muzan's camp sent out the handball ghost and arrow ghost, he was still highly alert.
Because this means that his whereabouts have been exposed. If Muzan's camp is interested, they will gather the strongest forces they can in a short period of time to surround and kill him.
By then, no matter how tragic the battlefield Asakusa will become, Tamayo, the MVP of the decisive battle in the original work, will definitely be eliminated by the explorers.
Rather, when he received the hidden mission, he was already surprised at the "inefficiency" of the enemy explorers. In Lu Li's mind, he had already assumed that Tamayo and Yushiro were dead.
Because it has been three days since everyone entered the world, three days. Even though they knew that Tamayo was hiding in Asakusa, a group of explorers with upper and lower rank strength failed to find Tamayo. Lu Li felt that the opponent was really weak.
If the explorers from Muzan's camp knew what Lu Li was thinking at this moment, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood.
Don't they want to find him? Not to mention that Yushiro's blood demon art disguise is very good, it is not easy to find him. Just say that a stupid boss like Muzan is so easy to serve?
In the first few days after becoming the Twelve Demon Moons, they lived in fear under Muzan's hands. One unlucky guy was even executed because he said something that didn't please Muzan.
Those weak explorers transformed by Muzan were fine, because Muzan didn't like them and let them go, but these new Twelve Demon Moons were held to high standards by their boss Muzan.
There is basically no freedom at the moment, and everything must be done according to Muzan's wishes. The explorers who went to Yoshiwara presented Muzan with a treasure that could block the sunlight, and only after Muzan was very pleased did he allow them to move freely.
They have tried their best to find Tamayo within their small free range, but they just couldn't find her, which made the explorers from Muzan's camp very angry.
At this moment, several explorers were earnestly and carefully persuading Muzan to get rid of Lu Li, or at least to get rid of Tamayo.
But because of Muzan's moody and brutal personality, it was too difficult for them to communicate. They were afraid that Muzan would say to them "Are you teaching me how to do things?" and then they would be punished...
The result was that Muzan was a little unhappy when he heard Tamayo's name, and he randomly sent two men to try to capture and kill Tamayo. His original intention was that if it worked, it would be a good thing, but if not, then forget it, and he did not take Tamayo seriously.
The explorers could not directly tell Muzan that Tamayo would develop a drug that would have fatal side effects on you and would eventually kill you, so they could only give up the idea of killing Tamayo helplessly.
To put it bluntly, Muzan still doesn't quite believe in the power of the new Twelve Demon Moons, and although he would never admit it, the strength that Lu Li showed during the day... has already made him a little wary.
He once stood on a high place in the city and looked at Lu Li from afar. Every cell in his body was instinctively warning him of danger. The last time he had this feeling was... last time.
So Muzan planned to call his old employees and the outstanding employees from Upper Ranks One to Five to hold a meeting, and then send appropriate personnel to deal with Lu Li.
Lu Li naturally had no idea about the complicated situation within Muzan's camp. He just kept his guard up and prepared for the siege that might come at any time.
But until Zhu Shi packed up everything, no other ghosts attacked, which made Lu Li full of question marks.
He thought to himself, is the explorer on the opposite side stupid, or does he look down on me and Tamayo?
But no matter what, it's a good thing that he doesn't have to protect Tamayo in Asakusa and go to war with Muzan's camp. Lu Li walked to the pile of books and asked, "Is that all?"
"All the necessary materials for my research are here. Other books are not necessary."
Tamayo said that she also knew that she had to travel light if she escaped, so she gave up those ordinary books.
Lu Li nodded, and then, under the surprised gazes of Tamayo and Yushiro, he wiped his hand over the pile of books, and the pile of books disappeared.
The Explorer's storage space is very useful in this regard. You don't need to bring a luggage bag when you go out. There is not much space for sundries, and it is just enough to hold Zhu Shi's research materials.
"Is this... blood demon technique? No, aren't you a swordsman from the Demon Slayer Corps?" Yushiro couldn't help but speak out curiously, looking Lu Li up and down, but no matter how he looked at him, he didn't look like a demon.
"Let's go while it's dark and leave Asakusa first."
Lu Li did not explain, he could not explain the magical ability of the storage space, "I haven't introduced myself yet, I am Lu Li, the new Sound Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps."
"It turns out to be Mr. Lu. I am Tamayo and this child is Yushiro. I'll trouble you to take care of him during this trip."
Tamayo said politely. She knew what the current situation was. Although Lu Li in front of her looked a little fierce, he was still a reasonable swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps and a man of justice.
Muzan is in Asakusa now, and there may be the Twelve Demon Moons here. If Lu Li was not there, it would be very dangerous for her and Yushiro to be hunted down.
Since he has been exposed and is already in a dangerous situation, joining the Demon Slayer Corps would be a safe option.
What's more, killing Muzan has always been her dream. Lu Li said that the Demon Slayer Corps is going to have a decisive battle with Muzan, so she is willing to do her part.
Lu Li didn't exchange too many pleasantries with the two of them, and hurriedly took Tamayo and Yushiro away. However, until they left the city, they didn't see any ghosts coming to snipe them, which made Lu Li very confused.
He used the gold beans to buy a car of this era and put a few barrels of oil in the remaining space in the storage space, so he had a means of transportation.
"Are you guys in the Demon Slayer Corps... rich?"
Yu Shilang was very confused when he saw Lu Li casually took out a bunch of golden beans.
"This was given to me by a wealthy businessman I rescued as a thank you. I'll take it as travel expenses."
Lu Li explained casually, and fiddled with the car for a long time before getting it started. Of course he had driven a car in his previous life, but those cars were more advanced, much more advanced than the vehicles in the Kengan world. He had never driven such an outdated car.
After leading Tamayo and Yushiro out of the city, a crow descended from the sky and landed on the roof of the car. It looked at the two ghosts, Tamayo and Yushiro, and was very confused. "Master Naruhashira, are these the new ghosts you selected for Fujikiyama?"
"Ah! The crow has spoken!"
Yushiro was startled, but then he reacted and nervously grabbed Tamayo's arm, "Master Tamayo, he really has bad intentions. He is a ghost dealer and wants to capture us and put us in a circle."
"Yushiro, don't be rude. Didn't Mr. Lu make his intentions very clear?"
Facing Yushiro's silly character, Tamayo was also very troubled, "Be quiet, don't cause trouble for Mr. Lu."
As she spoke, she politely saluted the crow, "Mr. Crow, we are not evil demons. We are here to help the Demon Slayer Corps."
She was not confused about what Crow had just said. After all, inviting her to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters was probably a secret and certainly not everyone knew about it.
"Help the Demon Slayer Corps?"
The crow's low intelligence was overloaded. It looked at Lu Li and said, "Master Mingzhu, what is going on?"
"Oh, tell me the general direction, and then go back and report to the lord. Just say that I met a kind ghost with superb medical skills in Asakusa. Her name is Tamayo. She will help us develop medicine to deal with Muzan. The lord will understand."
Lu Li told the Crow that he remembered that Ubuyashiki Yoya knew about Tamayo's existence, and it was he who sent the Crow to invite Tamayo before the final battle in the original work.
"This……"
The crow was a little hesitant, but its duty as a transmitter of information made it accept Lu Li's order and fly high into the sky.
"Mr. Lu..."
After the crow left, it was Tamayo's turn to be confused, "Didn't your lord's order invite me?"
She had long heard that the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps was extremely intelligent and although he never showed up, he was well-informed. So when Lu Li said he wanted her, she thought it was an instruction from the top leader of the Demon Slayer Corps.
But now she found that it seemed not to be the case. It was just Lu Li's arbitrary action after he discovered her, which made the matter seem very unsafe.
For a moment, she was thinking about how to ask Yu Shilang tactfully so that he could leave and she could go with Lu Li.
"Don't worry, the lord is a smart man. He will understand your strategic value and agree to this matter."
Lu Li said, "No matter what, since it is me who invited you, I will protect you."
"You...Mr. Lu..."
When Yushiro spoke, he remembered Lu Li's terrifying appearance and Lord Tamayo's instructions, and changed to a respectful title, "You are not the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, so why do you think you can guarantee Lord Tamayo's safety?"
Lu left the car, staring into the darkness ahead, and said calmly, "Because I'm strong, that's enough."
It doesn’t matter even if Ubuyashiki Yoya doesn’t know Tamayo now. He is a smart man. He has just created the strongest record of the Demon Slayer Corps in hundreds of years. Even if it’s just for his own face, he will take Tamayo in.
This world has always been ruled by strength. Without demonstrating the value of your strength, you will have no say.
That's why Lu Li had no intention of playing the pig and eating the tiger in this world. He killed his way through Teng Xishan at the speed of light and pacified Yoshiwara the next day.
