Chapter 114: Jade Pot Blooms for a Flash at 10 pm, Front Street...
10pm, Front Street Cafe.
Suzuki Kawa was sitting in a corner, with steaming coffee in front of him and a dessert next to him. He was sitting with his legs crossed, flipping through the book in his hand.
As Ando Tsukasa stepped into the coffee shop, he felt the presence of his immediate boss, locked onto his location and walked over.
The coffee shop still didn't have the atmosphere of later times, and the sound of conversations was endless. He walked through the tables and the noisy voices. The rain outside was a little heavy, and the corners of his kimono were wet. He walked all the way to Suzuki Kawa's table, took a deep breath, and called out, "Boss."
"Please sit down." Suzuki Kawa closed the book, put it on the table, and watched him sit down.
Ando Tsukasa's eye color is pure black. He has never hidden the words that reveal his identity as an upper-rank cultivator, but it is difficult to detect the words in his eyes without looking closely.
He was a little nervous, especially in such a formal occasion. It was completely different from the feeling of squatting next to Suzuki Kawa in Infinite City. He was now sitting face to face with Suzuki Kawa, their eyes level, and the pressure came with it.
The only ones who can enjoy this treatment are probably Upper Moon One Kokushibo and the former Douma.
"What's the matter?" Suzuki Kawa raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
Ando Tsukasa came back to his senses, lowered his voice slightly, and said, "I think I saw... the jade pot."
Suzuki Kawa looked at him, his expression unchanged. Ando Tsukasa felt more and more pressured, lowered his head and dared not meet Suzuki Kawa's gaze.
After a while, he heard Suzuki Chuan's puzzled words: "Who is Yu Hu?"
system:……
[Can you understand the original Upper Five of Muzan? ]
"It's an upper-rank demon, right? I don't know if I remember it correctly..." Ando Tsukasa didn't expect that he really didn't know, and said weakly.
Suzuki Chuan was puzzled: "You are the only upper-rank ghosts among me, where did you get the jade pot?"
He understood what the system said. The jade pot was probably the Upper Five transformed by Muzan. He had never been transformed before, so how could he become a demon?
And is it necessary for Ando Tsukasa to go to him specifically for this matter?
He even thought Ando Tsukasa had developed the air conditioner.
"...Yuhu has eaten a lot of people recently. One of my ghosts ran into him while he was out mining, and was killed." Ando Tsukasa explained, "Boss, you know that the strength of those old ghosts is about the same as that of the lower moons. He killed three or four old ghosts all by himself. I felt something was wrong, so I went to observe for a few days."
Suzuki Chuan listened, frowning: "Three or four?"
Ando Tsukasa nodded repeatedly.
In fact, he was a little nervous. As the actual Demon King, would Suzuki Kawa think that Yuhu was too powerful and put him in the ranks of the Upper Ranks?
He couldn't help but look up at Suzuki Kawa, and he couldn't help but feel anticipation in his heart.
The young man opposite him tapped the table with his fingertips, suddenly picked up the coffee cup and drank it all in one gulp, then said calmly, "Let's go, a powerful ghost came to Asakusa tonight. If I'm not mistaken, it's the Jade Pot you mentioned."
Impatience and murderous intent appeared on his face. Daring to touch the old employees of Infinite City was simply dancing in his minefield. Although those wild ghosts were not taken into Infinite City, they would definitely not mistake the breath of Infinite City ghosts. This was no longer a question of strength, but a provocation from Yu Hu.
"There are more people from the Demon Slayer Corps coming tonight." Suzuki Kawa suddenly said as they walked out of the front street cafe.
Ando Si took his umbrella and opened it attentively. He was stunned for a moment after hearing this and asked a stupid question: "Do you want to kill them together?"
Suzuki Kawa turned his head and looked at him, without saying a word, and walked forward with his long legs.
Ando Tsukasa hurried to catch up.
It was almost eleven o'clock, and there were fewer pedestrians on the street, especially since it was raining tonight. The light from the street lamps was a little blurry through the rain, and the two figures were stretched out and gradually merged into the darkness.
The edge of Asakusa is sparsely populated, but there are some low houses here with dim oil lamps on.
The atmosphere on the rainy night was tense to the extreme. Ghost shadows flickered in the darkness. The swordsman with a sword broke through the rain curtain and quickly caught up with the ghost shadows. One in front and one behind, they soon arrived near an abandoned house.
Discarded garbage can be seen everywhere in this place, and clay pots and other things are piled crookedly on the ground. The swordsman who came to hunt down the evil spirits did not notice these rags everywhere.
The ghost that had been fleeing all the way finally stopped. Lightning flashed across the sky, thunder sounded, and the swordsman also stopped, and the sun wheel sword in his hand reflected a cold light.
The clay pot rolled on the ground, making a harsh sound, and finally stopped behind the swordsman.
The ogre in front of him suddenly turned around, and the scratches on its twisted head and neck were clearly visible. Its eyes were out of focus and stared straight at the swordsman.
The young swordsman's pupils shrank.
On a rainy moonlit night, blood mixed with rainwater meandered towards the wild grass.
Another flash of lightning cut through the rainy night.
Yu Hu, with a satisfied look on his face, suddenly heard the sound of raindrops hitting the ground and footsteps sounded again.
Oh? Are there still humans who overestimate their own abilities?
He swayed his body and turned around in a twisted posture, looking behind him, and saw two figures walking out of the dark house. Although the moonlight was dim, he could still make out their figures clearly.
Yuhu didn't smell any human flesh on them.
Is it a ghost?
He stared at the two ghosts. One of them was wearing a kimono and holding an umbrella with half of his body exposed. He didn't care about being wet by the rain. He was slightly bent and extremely humble. It was obvious that the ghost next to him in a black coat was of higher status.
"Hehehe, the ghosts in Infinite City? I killed several of them not long ago, but that's all—"
His proud words were stuck in his throat when he saw the dark umbrella brim lifted up. Through the raindrops, he met a pair of purple eyes... and the words that appeared in them.
But the font only appeared briefly and quickly disappeared, like ink dissolving into water, gradually disappearing.
The man looked at him with the same look as he would look at a broken jar, disgust and indifference.
A petal suddenly touched his skin.
Gravity suddenly struck, breaking his neck and sending his head flying in front of the man.
Blood dripped from his neck. He trembled as he looked at the man, but his face was unconsciously excited: "Sir..."
"Disgusting." However, the man just spat out these two words indifferently.
The black-haired young man beside him immediately activated the blood ghost magic again, and stuffed Yuhu's head into the bottle where it was living. Then countless petals poured into the bottle, and screams suddenly rang out.
Ando Si smiled awkwardly and apologized: "I didn't expect it to be so ugly."
It's acceptable from a distance, but this stinky ghost has a red face, he looks crazy!
"Boss, we won't be struck by lightning if we stand here, right?"
"……Won't."
Suzuki Chuan gritted his teeth, "Because the rain is about to stop, you idiot."
Ando Tsukasa: “I see!”
He tried to change the subject: "I have marked all of Yuhu's pots. No matter where he runs to, he can't escape the range of my blood ghost magic." If this ghost dares to touch his men, he will kill Yuhu if he doesn't torture him!
Suzuki Chuan said "hmm", put his hands in his pockets, and suddenly turned his head: "Someone is coming."
Ando Tsukasa immediately became nervous and turned around with Suzuki Kawa, and saw a short figure appear on the way they came - compared to them.
This isn't... Ando Si opened his mouth slightly and almost called out that name
However, the next second, another figure fell from the sky, and the flash of a sword easily blocked the swordsman's attack path.
The rain stopped, but there were still fine raindrops floating in the wind. The mint green hair curled up, and the young swordsman holding the knife stiffened.
He stared blankly at the being that suddenly appeared and looked exactly like him. This was the first time he was stunned during a battle, and his mind was shocked like never before.
After receiving the news from the Crow, Tokito Muichiro came to support, but suddenly faced the top combat team of the Infinite City. This situation where there was no chance of survival was enough to make him feel cold.
"Ichiro, I remember asking Shirohime to move your 'door' further away." Suzuki Kawa slowly walked out from under Ando Tsukasa's umbrella. Seeing this, Ando Tsukasa wisely put away the umbrella and followed Suzuki Kawa's footsteps.
Tokito Ichiro's face turned pale. He glanced at his brother opposite him, put away his sword, and turned sideways.
Ando Tsukasa secretly watched the scene in front of him and was secretly amazed. Could it be that Toru Ichiro was running all the way from the door opened by Shirohime? It was obvious that he had consumed a lot of physical strength. Is this the bond between brothers?
It makes him and the boss look like the real bad guys.
"Sir." Tokito Ichiro suppressed the urge to look at his brother, lowered his head, and had no intention of arguing.
The leather shoes stepped on the water, splashing water droplets. Suzuki Kawa walked to Tokito Ichirō with his hands in his pockets, and looked up at Tokito Muichirō who was holding the knife with renewed vigilance in front of him.
He chuckled, as if to comfort a junior, and patted his shoulder: "Youyilang, don't make things difficult for me."
"You are a ghost, and your lifespan is endless. In a few decades, you will understand that all ties will be fleeting if you cannot hold them in your hands." The young man raised his eyes, and his purple eyes met Tokito Muichiro's.
Tokito Muichiro's fingertips turned white as he gripped the hilt of the sword, and his whole body was tense. Ya Ya had already gone to inform the others, but he felt that no matter how many more people the Demon Slayer Corps sent, they would probably not be a match for that demon.
That ghost who looks exactly like me must be my brother.
Even though he had no memory, when Tokito Muichiro saw Yuichiro, his heart beat faster and something in his mind seemed to be about to burst out.
The other party was visibly in a hurry, his face was pale, and under his wet clothes, there was no trace of blood in his hand holding the knife.
Why...? He has become a ghost.
Suzuki Kawa felt the stiffness of his body under his palm and silently calculated the time in his heart, but to his surprise, Tokito Ichiro spoke.
He said that if Suzukigawa let Muichiro go, he would come to see Suzukigawa with the head of the Demon Slayer Pillar.
Suzuki Kawa raised his eyebrows, and Ando Tsukasa behind him also opened his eyes wide and glanced at Tokito Ichiro.
This kid spends too little time with the boss. It's obvious that the boss is stalling for time. That Tokito Muichiro is also stubborn. Why doesn't he run away? It seems that Crow is going to call for help. Does he want the boss to catch them all in one fell swoop?
Ando Tsukasa complained in his heart that their boss was not just showing leniency, he was simply letting the sea go. What happened to Tokito Ichiro that turned around and ran in the opposite direction?
Suzuki Kawa, who heard what Tokito Ichiro said, just smiled and said, "Okay, Ichiro, don't let me down."
"Don't tarnish Kokushibo's reputation." He said this softly, and only Tokito Ichiro heard it. The boy's body became even stiffer.
The figure of a crow flew by, and Tokito Muichiro's ears twitched and his expression changed accordingly. He suddenly looked at Suzuki Kawa and met the young man's smiling eyes. If it were not for this occasion, such an expression could be said to be quite kind.
[Here they come! The three pillars of fire, rock, and water.] The system detected three figures and issued an alert.
"Boss..." Ando Si spoke, and as his voice fell, countless flying flowers suddenly floated in the sky, dancing all over the sky, very gorgeous.
Ando Tsukasa, who was described by Suzuki Kawaei as a fool, now had murderous intent in his eyes.
The crimson blade shadow cut through the petals. Tokito Muichiro looked at the familiar sword skills, but he did not feel any joy in his heart. Instead, he fell to the bottom.
All we can do is fight.
He gripped the hilt of the knife, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he rushed towards Suzuki River in front of him like a sword drawn from its sheath.
Breath of Fire, Breath of Rock, Breath of Water, and Breath of Mist, all activated simultaneously—
"Shua"——
"Why are you secretly here with Ando, sir, without calling me?" Douma's frivolous voice sounded, and the golden fan flashed with cold light. At the same time, frost covered the entire ground, and a deadly poison was hidden in it.
Upper Moon Two, I don’t know when I arrived here!
Tokito Ichiro was still held down by Suzuki Kawa. He raised his head and stared at Suzuki Kawa, wanting to get a response from him.
Suzuki Kawa, noticing his gaze, simply lowered his head.
"You don't have to kill them. I will take them myself."
