Crow.
Each swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps is equipped with a crow, which is very intelligent and most of them can speak human language, making them good at transmitting information. It is no wonder that the Ubuyashiki family has been able to survive for a thousand years without decline, relying on the ability to raise crows.
Li Mo raised his hand, and the pitch-black crow successfully landed on his arm.
"Asshole, you still remember to come back."
The remarks of a complaining woman.
But is it a problem that such words come from a 鎹crow? Even Kanae-san didn't say anything. You, a 鎹crow...
"Come to think of it, I still don't know what your gender is! Come on, show me whether you are a male or a female!"
"asshole!"
Then, more wailing sounds were heard in this wilderness.
……
……
The whereabouts of the Ubuyashiki family have always been mysterious. This family has considerable influence in Japan, but rarely appears in upper-class activities. They are one of those people who have no sense of existence.
After all, everyone knew about the curse on the Ubuyashiki family. It was the bad luck of having few children. There were even cases of premature death in their twenties. More importantly, this was the result of generations of marriages with the priest family.
Thousands of years have passed, and other clans have long forgotten where the curse of the Ubuyashiki family came from. The only ones who know the whole situation are the Ubuyashiki family itself and the priest family that they have been married to for generations.
At night, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya, as the head of the family, should have gone to sleep. With his fragile body, no one would wake him up after he fell asleep, even if the sky fell.
But today, something unexpected happened.
Ubuyashiki Yoya woke up from his sleep, put on his clothes with the help of his wife, and walked to the main hall with the support of his wife.
"Yaoya, what happened?" Ubuyashiki Amane asked.
As the daughter of a priest, she was destined to become the mistress of the Ubuyashiki family from the moment she was born. When she was young, she knew that she was going to marry a man who was destined to not live past the age of thirty, and she was a little scared.
But she felt fortunate to have become husband and wife with the man in front of her.
Because my man is a rare man in this world.
After so many years together, Ubuyashiki Amane understood Ubuyashiki Kazuya's living habits. What on earth was it that required her husband to get up in the middle of the night? He was already weak and needed a good rest.
But Ubuyashiki Amane understood. He would not do such a thing if it was not a top priority. No one cared about his body more than Ubuyashiki Kakuya himself.
He hoped to see the shadow hanging over the Ubuyashiki family disappear completely in his generation.
"You'll know soon." Ubuyashiki Yoya smiled.
Supported by his wife, he came to the main hall.
There was a person waiting here, and judging from the way he was dressed, he was a member of Hidden.
Of course, the key is not the person.
It was a pitch-black crow that he was taking care of.
"Go down first."
"Yes, my lord."
The members of the Kakuzan retreated, and Ubuyashiki Yoya looked at the crow that was drinking water and eating.
The crow can speak.
"My Lord, my Lord. The Sun Pillar has returned. The Sun Pillar has returned."
"Sun pillar"
A pillar named after the sun.
Ubuyashiki Amane remembered that man. Her children all liked to play with him. When the Demon Slayer Corps was in a period of transition, he was the one who supported the entire team. He could be seen in all four islands of Japan. At that time, he was almost always the firefighter.
Probably because that one has the highest mobility.
Just like the "flowing column" now.
But didn’t he die together with the Third of the Upper Moon in three years?
Ubuyashiki Amane still remembers that day.
The Upper Moons had not had a successful subjugation record for more than a hundred years. The Demon Slayer Corps on that day were both in pain and joy.
The pain of the Demon Slayer Corps' strongest genius falling. Happy about the death of Upper Rank 3.
And that one is back?
"Sure enough, he's back! That's good, it's good that he's back."
Ubuyashiki Yoya smiled particularly happily.
The third picture.
will appear.
Chapter 226 Inspiration
Tokitoya, the shop owners here have long been bribed. Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem. The Demon Slayer Corps is an organization that is completely supported by the strong financial resources of the Ubuyashiki family.
Kocho Kanae has her own private room. This is not because of the special treatment she gets as a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, but because of the relationship between her and Koi Natsu.
Oiran is special to a shop.
Lying on her bed, she had trouble falling asleep. A bold idea came to her mind...
It seems that there is a lot of similarity between me and Lixia.
……
……
Another hard bed.
This was Li Mo's thought when he woke up early the next day.
After sleeping on a camp bed for so long in Fuyuki City, and sleeping on a soft bed in Chiba for a night, I felt uncomfortable sleeping on a hard bed like this?
When did I become so pretentious?
This discomfort is psychological and has no actual effect on his body.
Just like the answer to Butterfly Kanae.
He is no longer a human being.
"Lord Rizhu."
"You're welcome. Please continue with your task and don't worry about me."
After becoming extraordinary, Li Mo’s strict requirements for three meals a day are not that high.
Ordinary people will die if they don't drink water for three days and don't eat for seven days. Even magicians can prolong this physiological period, so Li Mo can do it too.
Even better.
He could tap into the power within his spiritual foundation to extend his life, but that was his foundation, and he would not go that far unless it was absolutely necessary.
Say goodbye to the Demon Slayer Corps members at the base. Daytime is a good time for the members to travel and rest.
Because evil spirits will not appear during the day. Even the ancestors of demons are afraid of sunlight, let alone demons.
Die in the light.
This is the ghost's flaw.
So, what is it about sunlight that ghosts fear? Using the concept of the sun should be able to kill ghosts.
magic.
It is a mysterious method that can be used to simulate the concept of the sun. Whether it is useful for ghosts still needs to be tried.
Li Mo took the crow and began to wander around Tokyo, looking for traces of ghosts. Now, for him, ghosts had nowhere to hide. Ghosts and humans had other differences in another sense, so even if ghosts hid in dark corners, it was easy for him to find them.
Catching ghosts and experimenting.
This is what he prepared for.
——Until the return of the crow.
"You mean, my news hasn't spread yet? Is the lord still intentionally controlling the news of my return?"
He was now in a sewer. It was hard to imagine that sewers existed in Tokyo at the beginning of the 20th century. But this was the reality, and since sewers were so underground and almost no one came, they became a good place to hide.
Li Mo successfully caught two ghosts here.
However, one of them was reduced to ashes in Li Mo's experiment.
"Yes Yes."
The crow still answered in its strange tone. After the friendly exchanges last night, its temper had calmed down, but it was estimated that it would return to its previous level in a few days.
You can't just strip it of its hair, sprinkle some cumin on it, and grill it, right?
"It seems that the lord has his own considerations... I'll talk to you later when I see you. If there is anything else, I'll talk to you later. I'll finish dealing with this first."
There was another ghost in front of Li Mo. However, he had chopped the ghost into a weakened state with his knife, leaving it no chance to break free. Judging from the health bar above, it would probably die if he chopped it one or two more times.
Ghosts are not truly immortal. If they can be resurrected infinitely, then Li Mo can prepare to capture Muzan Kibutsuji and slice him up. Infinite, what a wonderful word.
Infinite resurrection equals infinite flesh equals infinite energy.
It will be just around the corner for humans to break out of the earth.
"I've almost finished my research... It really is more like something in the realm of mysticism. What a pity..."
After a brief study, Li Mo confirmed one thing. Strictly speaking, ghosts are not pure flesh and blood life. Think about it, there is no carbon-based creature that will be directly destroyed by sunlight.
He was too lazy to use magic to invent the concept of the sun to kill the devil. He simply pulled out his Sun Blade and chopped off the opponent's head with one blow, giving him a quick death.
There is also the option of picking up the opponent and throwing him into the sun. But that is too troublesome. How can it be done cleanly and efficiently with a single cut?
After walking out of the sewer, Li Mo asked his crow.
"What other tasks are there?"
"Go to the brothel."
