Chapter 63 Found
Since he didn't need to do anything, Yan Sheng simply stayed home for three days reading storybooks. Leaning back on the bed, Yan Sheng enjoyed the melodramatic plot with great relish.
You know what, you really can't help but get hooked if you watch it without thinking.
As Iwakatsu was engrossed in reading, the quest log suddenly popped up. The quest to collect the original Upper Moon Six suddenly changed from (2/6) to (3/6).
Iwakatsu jumped up, surprised that a demon had helped him complete the mission so quickly. After all, an Upper Moon demon's bloodline battle couldn't possibly be fought without calling for help.
Yan Sheng pondered for a moment, then decided to give up thinking about it; as long as the task was completed, that was enough. With that in mind, Yan Sheng picked up his storybook again. Just then, Yan Sheng received a congratulatory telegram from Boss Xie.
"Kuroshibo, you..."
Ugh, so much nonsense.
Iwakatsu didn't want to listen, but Muzan Kibutsuji always managed to insert a few useful points into his monologue. Iwakatsu was completely focused on his吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to roast or criticize) and listening, so he didn't notice the approaching footsteps.
The wooden clogs made a crisp clattering sound as they stepped on the wooden floor, and the ends of his red hair swayed with his movements. He tried his best to conceal his presence so that the people inside wouldn't notice him.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni was well aware that his older brother did not want to see him, and he was extremely cautious the moment he sensed his brother's presence.
"Yes... it is, Muzan-sama."
Iwakatsu gave a perfunctory reply, only noting down bits and pieces of what the other person said in a long string of words. While Kibutsuji Muzan and Iwakatsu were both focused on their conversation, there was a knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock".
The rhythmic knocking broke their call, and Yan Sheng then felt the faint, burning heat emanating from the door. Yan Sheng froze immediately; unsure, he opened the door with a glimmer of hope.
"Snap—".
Kibutsuji Muzan ruthlessly cut off his communication with Iwakatsu, leaving Iwakatsu alone standing there facing Yoriichi Tsugikuni behind that door.
Aaaaaaah, you're such a scumbag, scumbag boss! Help me, help me, help me! Why am I here?! What do I do?!
Yan Sheng's mind raced. Putting aside whether Kibutsuji Muzan would make him open the Infinity Castle, even if he did, he probably wouldn't be able to catch up!
"Elder brother."
Yoriichi Tsugikuni could see Iwakatsu standing motionless inside, and seeing the structure of Iwakatsu's face, which was completely different from that of a human, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
Yan Sheng trembled upon hearing the voice, his stomach involuntarily clenching, the intense tension making the pain even worse.
Don't call me I don't know you! Oh my god! Help! Someone help me!
It was still daytime, so Yan Sheng couldn't go out, nor could he return to Infinite City. For the first time, he felt so close to death.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni remained motionless, maintaining his previous demeanor as he waited for Iwakatsu to speak. This caused Iwakatsu to frown slightly; he remembered that he had pretended not to know anyone about him or the Demon Slayer Corps.
"what are you up to?"
Iwakatsu calmed down. He realized that Yoriichi Tsugikuni wouldn't make a move, at least not now.
Why? Because it's uncertain whether I, or rather, whether Tsugikuni Iwakatsu, am acting voluntarily?
Iwakatsu was unsure of Yoriichi's definition of this line, since he had indeed let Tamayo go and even had some interaction with her.
"I... my elder brother!"
Jikuni Yoriichi placed one hand on the door. He didn't know how to explain it; he had always been estranged from his older brother.
Yan Sheng sighed helplessly. He guessed that the other party was determined to confirm something. He couldn't beat them or avoid them, so he decided to just wait and see.
"Sir, please come in." After saying this, Yan Sheng sat down at the table in the room.
From his perspective, Yoriichi Tsugikuni opened the door, strode in, and sat down opposite Iwakatsu.
Although Yan Sheng appeared calm on the surface, he was actually filled with regret inside. The moment he saw the other person, Yan Sheng felt like he was frozen, and his hands on his knees trembled uncontrollably.
"Brother, it's all Yoriichi's fault."
Looking at Iwakatsu's appearance, Yoriichi Tsugikuni felt a pang of sadness. He was overwhelmed with shame at the thought that his negligence had caused his brother to end up like this, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"..."
Yan Sheng felt his stomach not only clenching, but also like it was about to knot up. He immediately covered his mouth with his hand, and after a few uncomfortable moments, he replied in a lukewarm tone.
"Excuse me... I know you, but I am... an only child."
That's right, I am indeed an only child, before I transmigrated. I'm not lying. And I do know you, the one who always wants to kill my boss. Yan Sheng thought to himself, "Hmm, I told the truth."
Ji Guoyuan slumped down instantly, unsure of what to say or do. He could tell that Yan Sheng truly didn't recognize him and didn't want to see him. The physiological reaction to lying doesn't lie; it was obvious the other person was simply disgusted.
Yoriichi was already used to this reaction, and was even somewhat relieved that Iwakatsu still had this reaction when facing him, instead of being completely unaffected.
“Brother, I am your twin brother. You just don’t remember because of an accident. Don’t worry, I will kill Muzan as soon as possible so that you can regain your memories.”
Yoriichi Tsugikuni raised his head, looking directly into Iwakatsu's six eyes, and said seriously and earnestly. He couldn't kill his brother under these circumstances; Lady Tamayo had already obtained the Blue Spider Lily, so they just had to wait a little longer.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
Yan Sheng stared at him in shock, wondering if he had just heard something strange, perhaps his ears were a little hoarse.
Bro, please let me go! What are you imagining? I'm glad you won't kill me, but I don't want you to kill that scumbag boss!
However, Yoriichi Tsugikuni seemed to have finally made a decision about something important, and let out a long sigh. He got up, walked to Iwakatsu's side, squatted down, lowered his eyes, and whispered something.
"Excuse me, elder brother."
Before Iwakatsu could react, Yoriichi Tsugikuni pulled open his kimono and looked at his chest, which was completely unmarked.
"???"
What a pervert!
Iwakatsu suddenly shoved Yoriichi Tsugikuni aside, hurriedly got up and pulled out the Hollow Crying God, his six eyes staring at the other in disbelief.
"It's good that my brother is alright."
Jikuni Genichi stood up, having anticipated Iwakatsu's reaction. He was indeed being a bit impolite, but he couldn't confirm with his own eyes whether his brother's knife wound had healed unless he did so.
"Thank you for the information, brother. See you next time, brother."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, just like before, before turning around and leaving. His footsteps faded into the distance as he closed the door.
"Are you sick?"
Yan Sheng was completely bewildered; he felt he simply couldn't comprehend the thought process of the Son of God.
After getting up and straightening his clothes, Iwakatsu stepped through the open wooden door in front of him. The first thing he saw was Muzan Kibutsuji standing there. He rushed over and scanned Iwakatsu from head to toe like a landmine.
Are you alright?
"..." Aren't you sick too?
Yan Sheng felt he had been overwhelmed by an unbearable shock in such a short time. He wanted to swear, but he couldn't; he could only keep a straight face and remain silent.
"Never mind, it's good that you're alright, Kokushibo."
Seeing that the other person looked utterly hopeless, Muzan Kibutsuji guessed that the other person hadn't encountered anything good either, and casually changed the subject.
"Kuroshibo, that monster isn't staying there, is it? Doctor Koike, we have to catch it."
Oh, right, Yoriichi seems to have said something.
Iwakatsu recalled that he had told Tamayo about the boss's plan to arrest people in order to prevent the data on the Blue Spider Lily from being leaked.
I hope he doesn't start imagining some weird things because of this...
"He should, he will."
