Chapter 114 Entering the game
"Take medicine? Sure, I'm aware of it now."

Tamayo put down the petri dish in her hand, her expression serious, "So we are going to follow the Lord's original plan?"

They met the lord together a few days ago. The only people present were her, Lu Li, and Beimingyu Xingming. The lord had been terminally ill some time ago and had already decided to die, so he made a plan that the other pillars would never agree to.

However, Lu Li did not agree at that time. He took out a strange medicine and gave it to the lord, which made his condition slightly more stable.

At this moment, Lu Li came to her with a serious face and told her to take medicine. She thought that he wanted her to follow the lord's plan and plot against Muzan with his death.

"No."

Lu Li shook his head, "Ms. Tamayo, you need to take the medicine prepared for Nezuko. You need to turn back into a human."

Tamayo was very surprised when she heard this, "Mr. Lu, what are you talking about? If I become a human, I will lose the capital to compete with Muzan, and I will not be able to let him merge and devour me."

In the lord's original plan, he would use himself as bait to lure Muzan into the trap, detonate the mansion to severely injure Muzan first, and then she would rush out to give Muzan medicine. The angry Muzan would definitely devour her, and then he would ingest more medicine.

"Does Yushiro know about your idea?"

Lu Li asked in a calm tone.

Tamayo's expression froze, "The child will understand, this is to eliminate Muzan. As long as Muzan is alive, more people will be killed. No matter how many people we save through medical practice, it can't compare to the harm Muzan has done to the world."

"Don't be silly, Muzan is less harmful to humanity than humans themselves."

Lu Li said calmly, "But an excellent doctor and research scholar can save far more people than Wuzan can kill."

He was telling the truth. The Demon Slayer Corps itself was an unofficial organization. It was just a group of people who had been hurt by demons and gathered together to kill demons.

But are ghosts really that harmful to society?

The number of demons and Demon Slayers is not large, and Japan's population has been steadily increasing during this era.

Why did Muzan become much more low-key after entering modern society? Was it really just to live a peaceful life?

No, because he knew that if he jumped too much, the state institutions would be able to crush him to death.

Never underestimate the power of a country, especially in this era when we already have cars and airplanes, and have entered the era of hot weapons. If the official army really sends out a encirclement and suppression, the intensive bombing by the air force bombs is no joke. Don’t you see that Muzan was seriously injured by a bomb in the courtyard in the original work, which shows that he is not completely afraid of hot weapons.

If we compare carefully, the number of demons created by Muzan and the number of people he has killed in the past thousand years are probably not as good as a horrible plague.

In the original work, Muzan once said a very disdainful "famous saying", which was why people didn't treat him as a natural disaster like an earthquake, volcanic eruption, tsunami, or plague, and just consider it bad luck when they encounter it, why hate him.

Although this sounds disdainful, the truth is that Muzan is far from reaching the level of a natural disaster, and his lethality is not enough to compare with that of a natural disaster.

Therefore, Lu Li thought that it was a waste to give away a talent like Zhu Shi. There are many ways to use pesticides, and it is not necessary to pay the price of life.

Besides, he no longer needs Tamayo's medicine now. He wants to kill Muzan head-on.

"Mr. Lu, are you going out to look for Wuzan?"

After hearing what Lu Li said, Zhu Shi realized something, stood up and grabbed Lu Li's arm, "Take me with you, I can be of use."

Lu Li shook off Zhu Shi's hand and said, "Just stay in the base camp and use medicine to completely cut off your connection with Muzan. Otherwise, after Muzan dies, you will also disappear."

Muzan Kibutsuji is the ancestor of all demons. Although Tamayo and Nezuko have escaped from Muzan's control, it does not mean that they have nothing to do with Muzan. The only demon who was not created by Muzan is Yushiro.

Once Muzan dies, all the demons created by him will die, even Tamayo and Nezuko are no exception, so they must first turn back into humans.

"I understand Mr. Lu's good intentions, but Nezuko and I are different."

Tamayo shook her head and said, "If I turn back into a human, I will die too."

Seeing that Lu Li was a little confused, she explained: "Because I have lived for a long time, it is impossible for a human to do this. Once I turn back into a human, the aging of my body will kill me."

"Is there no other way?"

Lu Li asked.

Tamayo pondered for a moment, "I can try to turn myself into a new species that is half human and half ghost, but I don't know if I can escape the mass extinction. Of course, as long as I can kill Muzan, it doesn't matter what happens to me personally. After all, I am a guilty person."

Lu Li understood Tsumage's mentality. She was not afraid of death at all. She even wanted to die because she felt very guilty about killing her husband and children. It had tortured her for hundreds of years. If she could die together with Muzan, she would feel it was a supreme relief.

"Try to stay alive, use your medical skills to benefit mankind and make up for your sins."

Lu Li didn't wait for Zhu Shi's opinion and changed the subject, "I have a second matter to tell you. You can also tell the lord later. I believe he will agree."

Zhu Shi knew that time was running out, so he stopped discussing himself and said, "Mr. Lu, please speak."

"After I leave, if I don't come back soon, please immediately summon all the pillars to protect Nezuko. Please give each pillar a copy of the poison you and Miss Butterfly developed."

Lu Li said that he had also informed the Rock Pillar, and the other party would inspect the temporary base of the Demon Slayer Corps.

The other party is likely to use a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so they must be prepared. Although he admires a fearless man like his lord, to be honest, the other party is far less important than Nezuko at the moment.

Once Muzan absorbs Nezuko, he will truly become a Jo extreme creature, which will be very troublesome. He will be able to run around during the day and will be impossible to catch.

Originally, he wanted to use Nezuko as bait to lure Muzan, and he told Tanjiro about this. Tanjiro said that as long as they could get rid of Muzan, they were willing to take the risk.

But now it seems that they don't need to release the news actively, because the other party may have already come to them.

After explaining everything to Zhu Shi, Lu Li looked at the darkening night and walked towards the door, but was stopped by a petite woman.

"Mr. Lu, are you going to fight the Upper Ranks alone?" Kocho Ninja looked up at Lu Li, her dark purple eyes filled with hatred. "Take me with you. I just want to try out the effect of the new medicine."

Lu Li moved his feet and quickly avoided Kocho Shinobu, "Don't be emotional, just do your job. I promise you, I will kill every ghost I meet on this trip."

Not to mention his good impression of the Nine Pillars when he read the original work, just after these two months of training and daily interactions, he had become familiar with the Nine Pillars and already considered them friends in his heart. It was impossible for him to watch Shinobu Kocho go to Douma to die again.

With Shinobu Kocho's strength, even if she learned the ghost god, she would not be able to have the power to cut off the demon head. She can only use poison. Even if she can defeat Douma, it will be a one-for-one fight. Lu Li cannot accept this kind of loss in battle.

"Mr. Lu..."

Kocho Shinobu turned around and wanted to argue with Lu Li, but was grabbed by the hand by Tamayo behind her.

"Ms. Shinobu, let's sort out the medicine. The war may happen here first."

Tamayo said, "This night may be long."

After Lu Li left, Ubuyashiki Tenon came to a room in the mansion, holding a wooden basin, and wiped the sweat off her lord.

"Amane, has the Sound Pillar left?"

The lord asked in a weak voice.

"I just left the mansion and headed to the place where the incident occurred as reported by the crow."

Tianyin answered dutifully.

"Yeah……"

The lord turned his head with great effort, using his blind eyes to sense the moonlight outside the door, "Tianyin, is the moon full tonight?"

Tianyin shed a tear, "Very round."

"Let's activate the backup plan. I can probably understand what the boy is thinking, but we can't let him bear all the responsibilities alone. If a war really breaks out, I am willing to sacrifice my life."

The lord said in a gentle voice, "I hope Mingzhu has a safe journey."

…………

In May, the warmth of early summer dispels the cold of late spring and turns into a gentle breeze.

Beside the ancient road, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, illuminating the thousand-year-old temple.

The roadside was littered with gnawed corpses, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Amid the crows' calls, the man in black came flying over, leaping up and landing on a tree, like a night owl.

He scanned the scene, sensing the surrounding atmosphere, and then looked towards the solemn ancient temple, "So, you are the only one?"

A figure walked out of the ancient temple, and with the help of the moonlight, Lu Li could see the other person's face clearly.

He was a handsome man with medium-length black hair tied into a ponytail at the back of his head. He was wearing a black evening gown and plain white gloves, giving off a gentle and gentlemanly look.

After seeing Lu Li, he saluted Lu Li and said, "My name is Qingfeng. It's an honor to meet a strong man like you."

Lu Li walked slowly towards the other party. He did not sense any other ghosts, which made him quite confused. Did the other party look down on him so much?
"I thought I could see all the Twelve Demon Moons."

When Lu Li got closer, he could see the other person's eyes clearly. They were a pair of dark pupils with white words engraved in them: "Upper String Four"

After seeing this number, Lu Li's expression darkened, "What did you do to the original Upper 4?"

Qingfeng smiled and said, "Since I got this number, the original four are naturally eliminated. Master Muzan doesn't like losers who fail in the position exchange battle."

Facing Lu Li's approach, he was not nervous. Instead, he took out a human finger from the storage space and chewed it, just like eating a snack. "Why are you so angry about the reduction in our numbers?"

"That was one of my prey."

Lu Li said unhappily that the fourth one was dead, which meant that he had one less treasure chest.

"What a strange man! Isn't the death of the former Upper 4 a good thing for you? I don't want to kill him, after all, he is also a fighting force, but I still need some status. After all, people without status have no say."

Qingfeng looked calm and started chatting with Lu Li.

"It seems that you have indeed gained the right to speak. It must be difficult to work under an idiot like Muzan, right?"

Lu Li teased. He was not in a hurry to take action because he wanted to find out the enemy's intentions, or to see if there were any other upper-rank masters coming here.

If he acts rashly, he may suffer a great loss.

"Tsk, don't lie to me. I really admire that adult."

Qingfeng said with a smile, chewing the snacks in his mouth with a loud crunch, "I'm just curious, what are you fighting for?"

"Fight for what? A boring question."

Lu Li put his hand on the Demon Prisoner on his waist. If the other party didn't send anyone, he wasn't going to listen to him continue talking.

"How can this be a boring question? You should be a warrior, so you should have faith. My goal in entering this world is very clear. I chose my current position in order to destroy this country."

Qing Feng looked into Lu Li's eyes, "And why do you want to help the Demon Slayer Corps? In our opinion, shouldn't that man be a hero?"
