Chapter 23 Next is another victim's perspective

Tanjiro Kamado was the first to break the silence: "Ms. Ghost, what does the woman you assaulted look like? Are there any words in her eyes?"

"She has slightly curly black hair and burgundy, needle-shaped pupils. She's very beautiful, but there's no writing in her eyes," Cheng Xiaoyu said. "But she might not be female, because while we were fighting, she transformed into a male form. I call her female because she was dressed as a woman when we first met, so it's just for convenience."

Because Cheng Xiaoyu was no longer surprised by such supernatural phenomena, and could even perform one herself if she wanted to, she ignored this matter when she told the story.

After all, when the incident happened...it was a legitimate defense, she even thought that the other party not only did not stop but also dared to start the second stage of shameless behavior, and thus increased the intensity of the beating.

Hearing this, the others became even more excited!

"Sure enough! Sure enough! I was right!"

"That hurts! Inosuke, you hit me on the head!"

The shirtless boy wearing a wild boar mask was dancing excitedly and accidentally hit the blond boy on the head, and the two of them started arguing.

Cheng Xiaoyu was confused about this.

Is it because she hasn't been to work and interacted with ordinary humans for too long that she has developed a cognitive bias towards humans? With this outfit...will she really not get heatstroke or be out of breath?

Besides, the temperature on Earth should be approaching autumn. Won't you catch a cold if you don't cover your belly?

"Hahahahaha!" Rengoku Kyojuro laughed loudly, his voice so loud that it made people's eardrums hurt. "Great! This is really great! No matter what, this has never happened in a hundred years!"

........

People cannot understand each other. Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know what was going on. She just felt that the wind today was a little noisy.

Turning around, Cheng Xiaoyu saw Huiyuan Xiong also laughing foolishly with them. She knew that his mood had almost calmed down. She pulled him aside and whispered, "What's going on? Is the mental state of this Demon Slayer Corps not so good?"

"Because the one you fought could very well be the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji... Hey?" Haibara Yu's frenzied mind, whipped into a state of calm by the double good news, calmed down. "Do you know the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Didn’t Miss Ghost say before that she had just arrived in this world?

The word "this generation" was also used. Could it be that Miss Ghost knew the Demon Slayer Corps before?

Miss Ghost doesn't look very old. Could it be that the evil ghost has not been eliminated in the past hundred years?

Cheng Xiaoyu guessed what Huiyuan Xiong was thinking: "A colleague of mine worked in the Demon Slayer Corps almost hundreds of years ago, and I heard him mention it."

I was wondering why that woman's tactic of blowing herself up and running away seemed so familiar. Turns out it was Muzan Kibutsuji. Damn it, if I had known she'd give her a few more beatings... No, I should have just taken him out to sunbathe!!

Huiyuan Xiong was stunned: "Hey, a colleague from hundreds of years ago? Is he a ghost?"

Cheng Xiaoyu: "No, he is just an ordinary human. But to you, he is already dead."

We were colleagues of people who died hundreds of years ago...

Huiyuan Xiong felt that he understood.

Miss "Ghost" should have a longevity technique similar to Lord Tengen's. In this way, it is logical that she lives in the Tokyo Jujutsu High School, is able to invite so many high-ranking officials in the Jujutsu world to come to the Tokyo High School to carry out secret missions (beautified by the high-ranking officials), and her purpose and identity are hidden by the high-ranking officials.

As for Miss Ghost's ill will towards the top brass of the Neon Spell World...

Isn’t this more reasonable!

Look at Gojo-senpai, who was born in one of the three great families in the Japanese sorcery world but is dismissive of it; and then look at his classmate Nanami Kento, who has only been in the sorcery world for a year but is already full of resentment towards the top management... It is perfectly reasonable that people dislike people like the top management of the Japanese sorcery world!

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know that Haibara Yu had automatically completed the settings for her. Seeing that he had no questions, she naturally assumed that Haibara Yu, who was close to Geto Suguru, might have heard something about her.

"Oh, there's something..."

Huiyuan Xiong tensed his body and bowed deeply: "Ms. Ghost, thank you very much for saving me!!"

Cheng Xiaoyu was interrupted by the sudden thanks: "Huh? Ah, you're welcome. By the way, there is a..."

"Um, excuse me... may I bother you for a moment?" A young man's voice, deliberately lowered but respectful, sounded. The young man with crimson hair and red eyes, carrying a suitcase on his back, seemed a little reserved.

I just wanted to say something, why are so many people interrupting me?

Cheng Xiaoyu turned her head: "What's the matter?"

"Hello, I'm Tanjiro Kamado." Tanjiro Kamado bowed deeply. "I'm sorry to make such an impolite request, but could you please allow me to collect some blood from your hair?"

Cheng Xiaoyu: "Of course you can, but what are you going to do with it?"

Become a villain who curses Muzan Kibutsuji?

Tanjiro Kamado, who was not good at lying, began to look around. He managed to say, "It's just... doing some personal research..."

Everyone: “.......” Do you believe this?

Cheng Xiaoyu: "I'm not interested in other people's privacy, but I have to make sure you won't use my blood to do anything bad."

"Sorry..." Tanjiro Kamado covered his red face and began to explain the reason.

Tanjiro Kamado's family was killed by Muzan Kibutsuji, and the only surviving family member was his sister who was turned into a demon.

Earlier than the present, Tanjiro Kamado had a face-to-face encounter with Muzan Kibutsuji, and after that he met a female demon named Tamayo who had broken away from Muzan Kibutsuji.

Tamayo helped Tanjiro out of the predicament at that time, and what was even more fortunate was that Tamayo hated Muzan Kibutsuji as much as Tanjiro did.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. In order to help Tamayo develop a potion that can turn demons into humans to restore his sister, and to defeat Muzan, Tanjiro agreed to help Tamayo collect the blood of Muzan Kibutsuji.

"...Because that lady is also a demon, and they don't want to attract the attention of the Demon Slayer Corps, so I kept it a secret from everyone..."

Although he felt sorry, Tanjiro Kamado deliberately avoided mentioning Tamayo's name and appearance, as well as the existence of Yushiro, the other demon she transformed into and brought with her.

"So that's how it is." Cheng Xiaoyu plucked a leaf, stained it with some blood on the ends of her hair and handed it to Kamado Tanjiro. "It's okay. Haibara and I are not members of the Demon Slayer Corps. You are not breaking your promise."

"Thank you very much!" Tanjiro Kamado took the leaf, took out a strange-shaped knife-like prop from his arms, took some blood from the leaf, and then...

Then he didn't know what to do...

When Ms. Tamayo gave him the blood collection tools, she didn't tell him how to contact her. Every time he finished drawing blood, a kitten would come to take it away and provide a replacement blood collection tool.

But this time the kitten didn't show up for some reason... Could it be because there were other people standing where I was?

Haibara Yu asked curiously, "What's wrong, Tanjiro?" Why was he just standing there in a daze?

Cheng Xiaoyu suddenly remembered something: "Are you waiting for a calico cat with a tool bag on its back?"

Tanjiro Kamado: "Yes! Have you seen Chachamaru?"

Cheng Xiaoyu gestured for Huiyuan Xiong to walk a few steps with her: "It's hiding. It might be a little afraid of strangers. If Huiyuan and I walk away a little, it should come out."

Cheng Xiaoyu had felt a little strange before. Although she had restrained herself a bit, the aura of a lord-level demon was very terrifying to sensitive small animals. But the kitten was so scared that it exploded into a ball of fur, but still refused to leave and insisted on wandering around here.

What a brave cat.

When I was giving Chachamaru a safe distance, I happened to say to Haibara Yu...

"Haibara-kun, you're here!" After sending a message to headquarters via crow, Rengoku Kyojuro turned around and found that more than half of the people were missing. He followed the trail into the woods, "Is Miss Ghost here too? That's great! Hmm? Why are you holding your forehead? Are you feeling unwell?"

Cheng Xiaoyu: "...No, I'm fine."

I was just a little depressed because my speech was interrupted by Bray Three.

"Could you please come sit with the Demon Slayer Corps?" Rengoku Kyojuro said, then emphasized, "But if your time conflicts with sending Haibara home, please prioritize Haibara!"

"It doesn't matter to me personally. I can borrow some water to wash my hair or something. But..." Cheng Xiaoyu turned her gaze to Huiyuan Xiong: "Huiyuan, what do you think?"

After a long silence, Haibara Yu replied, "My purpose in joining the Curse Sorcerers is to be able to exorcise cursed spirits and protect innocent people. In essence, the goals of us Curse Sorcerers and the Demon Slayer Corps are the same. If the evil spirits can be killed sooner, my family will be safer, so..."

"I understand." Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and patted Huiyuan Xiong's shoulder, finally saying what she couldn't say before. "It's just right. Actually, you can't go back for the time being. The situation on the timeline is quite complicated right now. I can't bring you back safely until it stabilizes."

Haiyuanxiong:?

Then why didn’t you tell me earlier? Wouldn’t all my mental preparation be in vain?

Cheng Xiaoyu spread her hands and said, "I didn't want to do that either. I've been wanting to say this before, but there are so many force majeure factors."

He scored three goals.

.......

In a corner of a Japanese-style room that completely defied the laws of physics and seemed to offer nothing but utter infinity, a squirming mass of flesh gnawed at his newly erupted teeth:

"Damn it, who the hell is that woman..."

Originally, Muzan Kibutsuji just thought that the other party was the pillar whose hiding place the Demon Slayer Corps found. He thought that humans were just existences that he could kill with ease, just like the original owner of the house. He could easily make the other party disappear from this world completely.

However, the opponent easily dodged his claws.

"Hey, young lady, let's talk it out. I'll let you go this time, but next time..."

The woman's decent smile was extremely annoying to Muzan Kibutsuji. He thought that the other party must have escaped because he did not attack seriously before. This time, without waiting for the woman to finish her words, his right hand turned into a twisted piece of flesh and attacked her.

The sound of flesh tearing and blood splattering exploded together.

It’s so annoying. Blood has splattered on the glass cover of the specimen and I have to wipe it off later.

Muzan Kibutsuji was about to retract the large mass of deformed limbs when he suddenly felt something was wrong. Why did the deformed limb that his arm had transformed into suddenly become so much lighter? And why did his neck feel cold...

This was all Muzan Kibutsuji's reaction within half a second, and pain alarms that had not sounded in four hundred years came from the tips of his arms and neck.

The large mass of deformed flesh that his right arm had transformed into let out a wail of being torn apart and turned into shredded flesh. The woman who was originally no different from a human now had a green face and red eyes. Her shiny black hair pierced into his flesh, violently tearing apart the thing that stood between them.

"I told you I'll only let you do it this once."

A wider smile spread across the woman's face, crowned with blood.

"You are not human."

Muzan Kibutsuji could see that the other party now had the intention to kill - just like he had before, he also knew that both the other party's hair and his deformed flesh and blood were just a prelude, and the real killing move was yet to come.

Several bone whips grew from behind Muzan Kibutsuji and on the outside of his thighs. Before launching the next round of attack, he questioned the second creature he had regarded as a threat in thousands of years.

"What on earth are you?"

The woman smiled, and this time the curve of her smile was even wider, and Muzan could see her sharp fangs.

She said:

"My ancestors."
