Chapter 116: Starting from the Broken Faith, Douma and Ando Tsukasa...
Douma and Ando Tsukasa, one by one, were thrown back to the Infinite Castle by Suzuki Kawa.
He glanced at Tokito Ichiro and said, "Your brother will be fine. He'll just have a little brain injury. You can take your brother away."
For Yuichiro's sake, he put a protective shield on Tokito Muichiro.
Tokito Ichiro was stunned and quickly ran towards his brother who was still standing there, fearing that Suzuki Kawa would change his mind, so he carried him on his back and ran away.
[I am in Cao's camp, but my heart is with Han.] The system sighed.
"What do you mean?" Suzuki Chuan walked towards them, saying with disdain, "Can you please stop talking about things I don't know?"
Although these three have consumed "Infinite Void," I must remind you that the plot-killing effect is still there, so the effect of "Infinite Void" will be infinitely weakened, and will only cause minor damage to their brains.
Suzuki Kawa paused, thinking, then relaxed. "It doesn't matter. A minor injury is a huge deal to a human being."
The system remained silent, thinking that what he said made sense.
【It’s almost dawn.】It reminded Suzuki Kawa.
Suzuki Kawa responded and continued to walk towards the three people. Suddenly, he frowned and dodged. Knife marks appeared on the ground instantly and gravel flew everywhere.
He landed not far away, raised his eyes, and was slightly surprised: "You woke up so quickly?"
The one holding the knife was none other than the Breath of Fire, a young man with dazzling hair. His face was resolute, but it still couldn't hide his pale complexion and slow movements.
"I think of Rengoku Kotaro...Ah, you are his descendant, you look so similar, his genes are really strong." Suzuki Kawa looked at him.
Rengoku Kyojuro's pupils shrank when he heard his words. The swordsman had a deep understanding of his ancestors, so he naturally would not remember wrongly that the founder of Breathing of Flame was named "Rengoku Kotaro".
Does this ghost actually know the ancestors?
The brief thought made Rengoku Kyojuro's head hurt more and more. He had to suppress these thoughts, holding the knife and attacking Suzuki Kawa, even though his breathing sword technique was already a little disorganized.
As long as we wait until dawn, the ghost will definitely leave, and at least our companions will be protected from harm.
There was only one belief left in his heart, which supported his actions.
The sword missed again and again, and Suzuki Kawa dodged slowly while thinking, as if teasing him.
"Do you want to delay until dawn?"
He reached out and grasped Rengoku Kyojuro's wrist. The sharp blade reflected his handsome face, and Rengoku Kyojuro's face was reflected in his purple eyes, which was very similar to the little owl three hundred years ago.
The blade is cold, but the eyes are gentle.
"You!" Rengoku Kyojuro felt unable to move in an instant.
"For the sake of the little owl, I will let you go. The favor owed to your ancestors is now written off in my eyes." Suzuki Kawa said.
His fingers tightened, Rengoku Kyojuro's face turned paler, and the whisper in his ear was crystal clear.
A crisp sound was heard.
"Stop it! You bastard!!"
A sharp sound of wind split the air. Suzuki Kawa raised his eyebrows, released Rengoku Kyojuro's hand, and easily dodged the slash from behind. His hair was a little messy due to the large movements. After standing still, he turned sideways to look at the supporter who was glaring at him.
Breath of the wind.
Fuzuikawa Miya who came to support saw Rengoku Kyojuro's hands hanging down helplessly, and he was furious. He swung the knife wildly at Suzuki Kawa. In the face of the impenetrable attack, Suzuki Kawa just opened his hands.
A longbow was instantly drawn, and then he grasped it. A bright white arrow appeared at his fingertips, and Suzuki Kawa just narrowed his eyes as he was slashed with the breath of wind.
"Hisui!" It was too late for Rengoku Kyojuro to stop it. He endured the severe pain and opened his eyes wide in shock.
The wind column that was charging forward was directly hit by a white arrow in the midst of his dense attacks. Under the powerful inertia, he flew backwards.
Suzuki Chuan looked at the flying figure, the blood drops spraying in the air, and slowly lowered his wrist, thinking: "It looks like the range is large, but in fact, the blade still needs to land on the solid ground to be considered an attack. After all, it is still close combat."
He stopped looking at his defeated opponent and, holding the Bow of Artemis in one hand, walked towards Rengoku Kyojuro and said, "It's almost dawn, Owl."
Rengoku Kyojuro watched him approach step by step, and the light above his head became stronger and stronger. Yes, the sun, the sun was about to come out!
Why hasn't this guy left yet?!
The first ray of morning light broke through the clouds, and the red sun slowly rose. The young man's golden hair was dazzling, and his handsome eyebrows and eyes were shrouded in the skylight, not like those of an ordinary person.
His lips seemed to have a little more color.
Rengoku Kyojuro's pupils constricted.
Dozens of crows appeared overhead, flapping their wings frantically and staring blankly at the scene on the ground.
This ghost, completely, stood in the sun.
A mocking smile appeared on his face, shattering all of Rengoku Kyojuro's fantasies and severely shattering the Demon Slayer Corps' firm belief that had lasted for thousands of years.
"you……"
Suzuki Kawa lifted his hair, revealing his superior eyebrows. He raised the corners of his lips and looked up at the sky full of crows, as if he was talking to the terminally ill Lord Ubuyashiki.
"Go ahead and kill the ghosts."
"I hope you can handle the pursuit during the day and the encirclement at night."
"The current king of demons is Suzuki Kawa."
An exquisitely crafted hair accessory was thrown at Rengoku Kyojuro's feet, and Suzuki Kawa chuckled and disappeared on the spot.
Rengoku Kyojuro lowered his head.
—It’s Ubuyashiki Teriya’s wisteria flower headdress.
-
Suzuki Kawa returned to Infinite City.
He first sensed the location of his men, and after discovering that Tokito Ichiro had returned to Infinite Castle, he nodded and turned to look for Kokushibo.
And Kokushibo was obviously waiting for him.
After realizing that it was dawn outside and Suzuki Kawa had not returned yet, Kokushibo was obviously getting restless. He stood in the house with the Hollow Crying God in his hand, hesitating whether to ask Suzuki Kawa.
The sound of leather shoes stepping on wooden boards rang out, and Suzuki Kawa appeared at the door in a coat. Kokushibo came back to his senses and turned to look at the door: "Ogawa."
"Huh, you still remember who I am," Suzuki Chuan pushed open the half-closed door and walked in, his face full of displeasure, "I thought you were obsessed with those two brothers. No matter how talented Tokito Muichiro was, he could not compare to Yoriichi. Who are you looking at through them?"
Kokushibo was silent, and Suzuki Kawa didn't care whether he answered or not. He sat down in his usual seat, touched the teacup on the table, and found the water temperature was just right, so he picked it up and took a sip.
"Brother..." Suzuki Kawa muttered as he watched Kokushibo sitting down opposite him.
He couldn't quite understand the bond between brothers, after all, he only had one sister.
He sighed.
There are still a few decades left, but it will be soon.
"I asked him to take his brother away. Do you still remember Rengoku Kotaro, the little owl with the particularly eye-catching hair?" Suzuki Kawa said, making his friend on the opposite side feel a little relieved, and then turned to talk about Rengoku Kotaro.
Kokushibo stared at the teacup in his hand and nodded: "Remember, he is the Breath of Fire."
"Among the guys who came to support us are his descendants, and they are much more determined than the little owl." Suzuki Chuan's eyes flashed with nostalgia, "Kotaro is always reckless when doing missions."
"Ogawa still remembers so much..." Kokushibo whispered.
"Well, then I released his offspring. I was planning to just kill them and be done with it, but then I came up with a brilliant plan."
Suzuki Kawa put down the teacup.
He smiled and looked at Kokushibo: "I have overcome the sunlight. You don't have to look for the blue spider lily on it."
Kokushibo suddenly looked up and looked at Suzuki Kawa, meeting the pair of purple eyes that were so familiar to him.
"Chengji is right. Those guys are still a bit annoying. They keep throwing themselves at death with a belief that I can't understand. I have no choice but to let them fall hard."
Perhaps it is because the majority of the demons they have been dealing with are wild demons, which makes the Demon Slayer Corps feel that they are not without the ability to fight.
Last night, Douma let the water go so hard that Suzuki River's veins bulged.
In the end, Ando Tsukasa was the only one working diligently in the team. As a good boss, Suzuki Kawa would certainly not treat Ando Tsukasa unfairly.
Compared to ending a life, destroying faith is more likely to cause a chain reaction.
Suzuki Kawa said with a smile.
"Just stand in the sunshine and tell them that the ghost that overcomes the sunshine has appeared, and they will collapse."
Kokushibo thought about it seriously and shook his head without comment.
Suzuki Chuan raised his eyebrows: "Really?"
But he didn't care. He stood up and stretched. "Let them do whatever they want. They can't cause any big trouble here."
He has other things to do.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head to look at Kokushibo and said, "Yan Sheng, do you regret becoming a ghost?"
The room was silent. He turned sideways and looked at his friend who had also stood up. The teacup had begun to cool down, and Kokushibo's lips were pursed.
"No……"
"If you regret it,"
Suzuki Kawa turned his head, his back to Kokushibo, and a faint voice rang out: "I will kill you with my own hands."
He walked out that door and never looked back.
Three hundred years is enough time for one's passion to cool. Is Kokushibo choosing to become a demon again because he is bowing to fate or because of some other selfish motives?
Even Kokushibo himself couldn't explain it.
He also didn't understand why Suzuki Kawa's temperament changed so drastically. Was it because he used his own "door" to release Tokio Ichiro?
Obviously Ogawa was very nice to Ichiro...what went wrong?
Kokushibo stood in the house for an unknown amount of time, still puzzled.
Suzuki Kawa walked out of Kokushibo's house, with his hands in his coat pockets, and walked forward in a random direction. As soon as he walked out of the Kokushibo dojo, he ran into Douma who was waiting for him.
Upper Two looked up and smiled when he saw him: "I guessed right, my lord, you will definitely take this path."
Suzukigawa stopped and looked at Douma.
"Did Lord Kokushibo make you angry? I will never disobey you. I wish I could kill Tokito Ichirō." Douma's colorful eyes reflected Suzuki's face. When their eyes met, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
"Who is your Excellency looking at through me...again?" His face was unusually calm, and those rich expressions disappeared without the need for disguise.
Suzuki Kawa looked at him steadily and said, "You hate me, Douma."
Douma, who had difficulty unleashing the power of his technique due to his lack of emotion, burst out with unprecedented strength when he performed the technique last night. Even Ando Tsukasa couldn't tell that he was using a technique instead of a blood demon technique.
Before learning any other emotion of love.
He first learned to hate.
It took a full two hundred years.
Suzuki Kawa took a step forward and passed him by. "Except for the voice, you and Dazai are nothing alike."
In the empty corridor, after a long time, Douma touched his cold face.
"How... cruel."
【……What’s wrong with you? 】
The system was timid and increasingly confused about Suzuki Kawa's thoughts. It basically just followed Suzuki Kawa's pace and made jokes on weekdays, and Suzuki Kawa also had a smile on his face.
Suzuki Kawa continued walking, and the scenery around him changed several times. It was obvious that the Infinite City was frantically changing the road under his feet until it reached his destination.
Hearing the system's cautious words, he said nonchalantly, "Nothing."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "I have my own rhythm. Just watch it and don't worry about it."
The system was moved that Suzuki Kawa was actually willing to explain. It seemed that its position as the Imperial Concubine Tong was still unshakable.
[Chuan'er, you are so nice QAQ]
Suzuki Kawa stumbled.
"Fuck, when did you become so vulgar?!"
He really couldn't hold it in this time.
This stupid system really needs to be taken back to the factory for reconstruction. I have seen some weird stuff recently. Is it possessed by a ghost?
The next stop on Suzuki River is Ando Tsukasa's place.
Ando Tsukasa had fought four people alone last night and was seriously injured. He was absent-mindedly applying medicine to himself when he saw the door open and Suzuki Kawa walk in. He was so scared that he dropped the medicine bottle on the ground and jumped up: "Boss, why are you here?"
He had just received instructions from Kokushibo and Douma, all asking him to inquire about Suzuki River. Are these two crazy? He asked about Suzuki River, isn't this clearly making things difficult for him?
The next second, Suzuki Kawa pushed the door open and came in.
"Are you feeling guilty?" Suzuki Kawa glanced at him, as if he could see through his thoughts. He found a chair to sit down and crossed his legs.
The honest Ando Tsukasa certainly didn't dare to hide it from Suzuki Kawa: "Just now, Lord Kokushibo and Douma gave me news one after another, and I'm a little... confused."
No, it is impossible for them to hide their information from Suzuki Kawa, so isn't that a disguised way of asking Suzuki Kawa?
Ando Tsukasa reacted suddenly.
Suzuki Chuan glanced at the medicine bottle he dropped on the ground, and instead of asking further questions, he asked curiously, "Are these medicines helpful to your injuries?"
"Hehe, at least it can stop the bleeding." Ando Tsukasa showed a pure smile. "No matter how strong the regenerative ability of ghosts is, they are still transformed from humans. Naturally, the medicine is effective on ghost bodies."
Suzuki Kawa nodded thoughtfully.
He looked at Ando Tsukasa: "Infinite Castle is now up to you, Ando."
The smile on Ando Tsukasa's face was visibly petrified.
"Am I hallucinating from the pain?"
"Do you need me to help you come back to your senses?" Suzuki Kawa said kindly.
Ando Tsukasa shook his head frantically: "No need!"
He remembered the strange behavior of the two upper ranks just now and swallowed his saliva: "Boss, what happened?"
Suzuki Kawa: "It's okay. I'm just leaving the Infinite City to you. You should understand what I mean by the Infinite City, right?"
Andoji:……
He was smart enough to understand that "Infinite City" meant the power to control all ghosts, but now, he would rather not know.
"Boss, is this a test for me?" he asked in a trembling voice.
"Ando, you are very smart." Suzuki Kawa had already retracted his legs, stood up, and put his hands in his pockets. The tip of his nose was full of the smell of medicine, which showed that Ando Tsukasa was seriously injured.
He whispered, "Among so many ghosts in Infinite City, you are the most special one."
Ando Tsukasa blinked and blushed: "Hey, really?"
Suzuki Chuan nodded: "Don't worry, they won't make things difficult for you."
Ando Tsukasa was inspired to fight: "Okay, Boss! I will definitely take good care of Infinite City!"
The boss must be the one who wants to be a hands-off boss, he understands!
Suzuki Kawa walked closer to him and said, "Stretch out your hand."
Ando Tsukasa did as he was told.
Suzuki Kawa stared at his palm and touched it with his fingertips. A drop of pure golden liquid fell into Ando Tsukasa's palm and quickly blended into his skin.
What's this?
Ando Tsukasa looked at his palm curiously.
"With the blood given by the Ghost King, you can command other ghosts." Suzuki Kawa took two steps back and looked at Ando Tsukasa, who had crashed because he suddenly received countless information and memories from cannibal ghosts.
As expected of Ando Tsukasa, who can eat "Infinite Space" raw, his brain didn't explode after receiving this information.
He nodded in satisfaction and disappeared from the spot while Ando Tsukasa was still digesting it.
Somewhere in Infinite City, Cheng Ji, who was counting accounts with her pen bitten, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head. The pen in her hand fell on the table, then slid to the edge of the table and fell to the ground.
She closed her eyes in pain, her fingers running through her hair. The memories of her human days were revealed without reservation, and sweat instantly broke out on her face.
Quite a while passed.
She stood up with a grim expression. As an upper rank higher than Ando Tsukasa, she immediately sent a message to Ando Tsukasa.
"Ando, sir, where have you been?" She had a bad feeling in her heart.
Ando Tsukasa didn't know what was going on at this point. He was immersed in the wonderful experience of Suzuki Kawa praising him. He said foolishly, "The master said he would let me take care of Infinite City, and then he left."
"...Idiot." Cheng Ji almost spit out these two words from between her teeth.
