Chapter 60 Unexpected

Yan Sheng looked on, frowned slightly, and awkwardly raised one hand to cover his mouth and nose with his sleeve.

Muzan Kibutsuji narrowed his eyes as he looked at the person who was still groaning in pain. He turned to look at the expectant Yiyu, and slowly nodded under the other's eager gaze.

"Excellent, a very good work."

Huh? What kind of taste?

Iwakatsu looked at Kibutsuji Muzan in surprise, completely unexpected that the other party would make such a comment. It seems that being a pyramid scheme leader is not so easy.

Hearing Muzan's evaluation, Yiyu was greatly encouraged. He twisted his sticky body and stared at Muzan with fascination.

"Alright, keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing you in the crescent moon."

Kibutsuji Muzan snapped his fingers, and a wooden door appeared beside him. He handed the pot back from his elevated position and gestured for Iwakatsu to follow.

"Yes, Master Muzan."

After receiving the item, Yiyu carefully put it away. He watched Muzan Kibutsuji and Iwakatsu leave before turning back to look at the villagers who were still howling in agony.

——

Inside the Infinite Castle, Muzan Kibutsuji casually picked up the data, looked at the values ​​that showed no fluctuation, handed a newspaper to Iwakatsu, and said to him.

"Kuroshimo, this symposium will include an auction of rare plants. What we need is not the plants, but to secure this VIP guest."

Following the direction of his hand, Iwakatsu saw the person shown in the newspaper. He was wearing a striped gray kimono and small glasses, and looked gentle and well-mannered.

Yan Sheng walked over, picked it up, and read: Koike Matsuguchi, a famous pharmacist who has published many studies on the medicinal uses of rare plants and is also a medical expert in disease research.

"Recently, there have been reports that he has encountered blue spider lilies in his experiments, and he may have all the research data on blue spider lilies, or even complete flowers."

As Muzan Kibutsuji spoke, he picked up another newspaper from the table, his red vertical pupils fixed on the man printed on it.

"We must capture him and dig out all the information about the blue spider lily."

Iwakatsu's golden eyes continued to gaze at the introduction and location of the seminar, which seemed strangely familiar.

He pondered for a long time, but still couldn't remember why the figure looked familiar, so he kept it to himself for now. He looked at Muzan Kibutsuji, who was still deep in thought and didn't react.

After a long while, Muzan Kibutsuji finally raised his head and looked at Iwakatsu strangely, asking, "Kuroshibo, is there anything else?"

What do you think? Boss, give me a task! What's the point of telling me this? Tell me what I need to do.

"Wumei...sir."

Iwakatsu paused, looking at Kibutsuji Muzan, and after thinking for a moment, continued to ask, "Should I... send my subordinates... to... capture... him...?"

"Oh, you go and take a look first. Akaza will handle the arrest, but we need you to go just in case."

Kibutsuji Muzan handed several sheets of paper to Iwakatsu, which clearly listed all the information about the seminar, such as the address, time, agenda, and participants.

"Yes, Muzan-sama."

Iwakatsu firmly grasped the documents, turned, and left. He actually thought Kibutsuji Muzan was unreliable, but thankfully he had only gone to observe this time.

As Yan Sheng walked, he casually flipped through his missions. He was actually quite puzzled as to why there were so few missions, but considering that the main storyline hadn't started yet, it seemed quite normal.

"Beep beep beep—".

A piercing alarm suddenly exploded in Yan Sheng's mind. Yan Sheng frowned and unconsciously pressed his hand to his temple.

"Honey, this is terrible!"

The anxious voice of 1008 made Yan Sheng's brow twitch; he had a bad feeling.

"What's wrong?"

"Blue spider lilies, blue spider lilies have appeared."

Yan Sheng stopped in his tracks, blinked blankly, and asked in an extremely uncertain tone.

"What did you say?"

"Hey, look at your mission board. This is very important. We absolutely cannot let Muzan Kibutsuji get it."

Iwakatsu opened it again and saw the urgent mission marked in red: Stop Muzan Kibutsuji and obtain the Blue Spider Lily (Location: Tokyo/Incomplete)

"How could it suddenly appear? Isn't this thing only open during the day, and it's located in the place where Yoriichi Tsugikuni and his wife used to live?"

Iwakatsu asked anxiously, this was even more terrifying than when he encountered Yoriichi Tsugikuni. If Muzan Kibutsuji obtained it, then only Yoriichi Tsugikuni could truly defeat him.

"It's because of Ji Guoyansheng's wife. I looked into it, and after communicating with her family, she decided to help her son and her younger brother merge the two families, which triggered the succession crisis."

1008 continued to explain in a broken state: "Later, she ended up in that mountain forest and met the mother and son from the original story who were also dealing with inheritance issues. After the three of them were rescued by Kamado Tanji, she discovered the Blue Spider Lily."

"???"

Yan Sheng was incredulous. It was as if he was listening to an alien language. He never would have imagined that it was because of this.

"I don't know how it suddenly turned out like this, ahhhhh who's messing things up?!"

1008 screamed like a wild groundhog in Yan Sheng's mind, but Yan Sheng didn't dare to say it. He seemed to vaguely remember... Shi Touyue.

No way, really?

Based on the information he gathered from the original work, Yan Sheng considered everything thoroughly. It seemed, perhaps, probably really was because of him.

"Xiao Liu, maybe...it's because of a bug?"

Yan Sheng said hesitantly, feeling a little guilty, but judging from the other person's expression, he probably didn't know it was because of him.

"Definitely! Honey, you've really gone to a lot of trouble. I'll definitely apply for something better for you based on your needs!"

"Ah, okay... thank you, Xiao Liu."

Yan Sheng awkwardly touched his nose. He figured he would handle it himself anyway, so why not just let this beautiful misunderstanding continue?

After finishing his 1008-game game, Yan Sheng returned to his usual chess-playing spot and pondered the game carefully.

As he was about to adjust his plans on paper as usual, he saw the address on the document and a sudden inspiration struck him.

This seems to be within the scope of national administration. Wait, Tokyo? Iwakatsu confirmed repeatedly, comparing everything, and finally made a decision.

This is the place Muzan Kibutsuji mentioned. It seems this time, the scoundrel's information is somewhat reliable. This is not good. Iwakatsu thought this mission would be simple, but now he has to be careful and not let Muzan Kibutsuji find out.

The Blue Spider Lily—Iwakatsu knows perfectly well how important this thing is to Muzan Kibutsuji. That scoundrel has been determined to find this flower for so many years; if he finds out it's in Tsutomu's country, he'll probably really execute his entire family.

Besides worrying about his family, Kokushiro's biggest concern is Tokito Muichiro from the original story! If this line is broken, everything will be gone.

With that in mind, Yan Sheng contacted Ming Nu directly and asked her to take him to a nearby town. He didn't want to be too obvious, so it was more reliable for him to travel on his own.

Yan Sheng stepped out of the wooden door, stood on the damp, sticky mud, looked at the moon that was still hanging high in the sky, and ran towards the place in his memory.
