Chapter 97 Upper Zero: The Steam Age "I swear,...
"I swear, I only used a little bit of strength!"
[Stop quibbling, you're about to strangle him to death! ]
"Then I didn't mean to do that!"
【Now he really hates you! 】
Suzuki Kawa squatted beside the unconscious Jiguo Yansheng, looked at the distinct fingerprints on his neck, and touched the tip of his nose guiltily. He didn't expect that he would be so strong after becoming a ghost.
If the system hadn't noticed something was wrong, he would probably have been strangled to death by Yan Sheng.
Fortunately, the system task completion prompt finally came, followed by a progress bar showing the redemption of task rewards.
The system said it would take about half an hour.
Suzuki Chuan simply sat next to Yan Sheng, planning to wait until the mission rewards were redeemed before leaving.
He sat cross-legged, but this time he didn't do anything else. Instead, he thought about Yan Sheng's markings.
"Those ghosts are so weak, and I remember there weren't so many ghosts appearing before." He looked up at the moon above his head, and the water in the river beside him hit the gravel, making a crisp sound.
"Because Muzan's body is in your hands, and you haven't shown up in three years, the stronger demons have been devouring humans and transforming them into new demons without restraint. They're almost becoming demon kings," the system said.
"Huh?!" Suzuki Kawa opened his eyes wide.
That won’t do. His Infinite City is the only official and formal organization of cannibals. These quack organizations below will take away his employees!
He said bitterly, "Well, Chengji always told me that I couldn't find a good kid, but it turns out someone else got there first."
System: [How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed? I support you in defeating those idiot organizations!]
Everyone started discussing how to eradicate these idiot organizations.
The quickest way is to use the body of the Ghost King, and those ghosts will immediately defect.
But Suzuki Kawa refused, as he felt this was a good opportunity to make a name for himself.
"The world only knows Muzan Kibutsuji, but not me, Suzuki Kawa!" Suzuki Kawa clenched his fist.
System: [With all due respect, you wouldn't be happy if they knew you were Suzuki Kawa.]
Suzuki Kawa: ...
"Let's keep it to ourselves. Don't worry about it."
However, the system's words also perfectly hit his heart. Suzuki Chuan stroked his chin and muttered to the system: "Yan Sheng's name after becoming a demon is Kokushibo, so I have to come up with a cool code name too."
System: [You say.]
Suzuki Chuan frowned in thought.
Five minutes later, the young man raised his head seriously and said, "I can't think of it."
System hehe: [I knew a dog couldn't spit out ivory.]
"What do you mean?!" Suzuki Kawa immediately jumped up.
However, the system quickly gave a very useful suggestion: [Your body must also be included in the Upper Rank construction plan. Yan Sheng will be the Upper Rank One, so what rank do you plan to be in?]
Suzuki Kawa: "Why can't I be Upper Rank One?"
The system sneered: [You dare to be Heige's Upper Rank One? I will fight you today!]
——The terrible toxic fan.
Suzuki Kawa sighed, he took off the mask on his face, and his handsome face was exposed to the air. After becoming a ghost, his facial features became closer to the mixed-race appearance of modern times.
After thinking for a moment, the psychic eye fell asleep again, and the words "Upper Rank" appeared in the depths of his eyes.
The originally dark green eyeball turned back to purple, and the word "zero" appeared.
The system was slightly surprised that Suzuki Kawa actually remembered that there was a zero before one.
But before it could even taunt, a prompt popped up: [Blood Vampire Art has been unlocked, do you want to check it out?]
Blood vampire magic? ?
It was shocked. Could it be that Suzuki Kawa had no blood demon arts in the past few years?!
Suzuki Kawa was also shocked. It turned out that he really had blood demon arts?!
[Blood Demon Art: Searching for Him in the Crowd (Phase 1): After using, you will have a 100% chance of knowing the target's location.]
…
[That's it?]
"That's it?"
The same question mark popped up in the minds of everyone. The system began to look at Suzuki Kawa's personal panel over and over again in disbelief. Suzuki Kawa stood up, furious.
Why does everyone have powerful blood magic, but he can't?
What's the use of this thing?!
The system comforted him: [It's okay. Look, doesn't it say "stage one"? This is an upgradeable blood vampire technique.]
Suzuki Kawa: "What is the second stage?"
System: […100% chance of teleporting to the target.]
Looking at Suzuki Kawa who had broken through his defense once again, the system added: [The third stage is to teleport the target to your vicinity.]
After his anger subsided, Suzukikawa calmed down and said to the system, "If it's 100% teleportation, wouldn't it be very convenient to escape?"
It also seems to be a good escape skill.
The system was silent for a moment, then said: [The skill pre-swing starts at one hour, with no upper limit.]
Suzuki Kawa: ? ?
An overly ferocious smile appeared on his face: "From now on, just pretend I never had this stupid skill, okay?"
——Even if Suzuki Chuan was chased and hacked to death, starved to death, or drowned in the river, he would never use this stupid skill!
Half an hour passed, the mission rewards were redeemed, and the system reminded him that he could leave.
Suzuki Chuan looked up and was surprised. Yan Sheng came out, but why didn’t he see the Crow following him?
"What if we leave him here and let him get robbed?" He squatted down again and poked the unconscious Yan Sheng's cheek.
"The side effects of the markings are gone, but it seems like nothing has changed. Could the system be malfunctioning?"
System: [Let him stand up and fight you to see if there are any side effects.]
"Forget it then." Suzuki Kawa refused.
Before he could say anything, a black shadow flew out and quickly condensed into the appearance of Kokushibo.
When Suzuki Chuan saw him, his eyes lit up: "So you're still here, that's fine, you stay with him, I'm leaving first."
Kokushibo looked at him, as if he wanted to say something.
Suzuki Kawa stood up, thinking that Kokushibo was worried about the stripes, so he patted his chest confidently and said, "Don't worry, if Yan Sheng doesn't live past the age of 25, come find me!"
"How... did you do that?"
However, facing Kokushibo's doubts, Suzuki Kawa kept silent and just said: "It's almost dawn, goodbye."
"Speaking of which, Brother Hei can't contact you in this state, right?" The system keenly sensed a loophole.
Suzuki Kawa had already opened the gate to the Infinite Castle and happily waved to Kokushibo. Hearing this, he said with a grin, "Can you guess why the specific form of the quest reward is a heart exchange?"
After returning to Infinite City, Cheng Ji immediately appeared not far away and came to greet him with a look of relief: "My lord is finally back."
Suzuki Chuan was fine from head to toe. He waved his hand nonchalantly and talked about another matter: "Those high-level cannibals have quite a few little ghosts under their command. Let's find a time to deal with them."
Cheng Ji's eyes lit up. She had encountered those ghosts before and they were very arrogant. Since Suzuki Kawa did not give any instructions, she did not act rashly.
After letting Cheng Ji go back to continue working on the construction of Infinite City, Suzuki Chuan thought that after the problem of Yan Sheng was resolved, he would go and deal with those fake organizations, and then he could live a lazy life again.
Because of the high intensity of the Tsugakuni brothers' demon killing, and the fact that Tsugakuni Yoriichi was a monster that they could not defeat at all, many sub-organizations have moved away from the vicinity of the Demon Slayer Corps, and the farthest ones have gone to the Kansai region.
The Ghost King hasn't appeared for several years. If these ghosts were not still alive, they would suspect that the Ghost King died quietly.
Of course, Suzuki Kawa would not use the body of the Demon King to move, mainly because he was not as proficient in the operation as the original body. The entrance to Shirohime's Infinite Castle could be located at will. Although his blood demon technique had a bit of an outrageous pre-swing, it was still useful to obtain 100% accurate coordinates.
For the next six months, Suzuki Kawa was busy killing unruly wild ghosts.
As for the definition of "insubordination", of course it is up to him to decide.
If these ghosts can slip and kneel quickly, they can still be spared.
However, after a few years, these ghosts had obviously grown bolder and scoffed at Suzuki Kawa's words. Between fighting and sliding on their knees, they chose to insult and be beaten at the same time. In the end, Suzuki Kawa punched their heads into a manhole cover that could rotate 360 degrees. Only then did they realize what was happening.
A young ghost has come to the world of cannibal ghosts.
No matter whether you are a capable subordinate of Muzan or a rising star, he will turn a deaf ear to you and ask you whether you want to join Infinite City Co., Ltd.
When asked what he could do in there, he said he would be his younger brother.
Who can tolerate this?
This is what these ghosts thought before their heads flew out.
Soon, at the end of the year, Suzuki Kawa was walking alone in the snowy night, carrying the head of the ghost who had run to the Kansai region.
In the pitch-black night, not a ray of light could penetrate the clouds.
The moon also disappeared without a trace.
Suzuki Chuan walked and stopped, then raised his head and murmured in a deep voice: "If melancholy is a gift."
System: [Crazy Thursday sale at the prop mall. We have a bucket of your favorite ten-fin shark fin shark fin. Expires in ten seconds.]
"What?! Why didn't you say it earlier! ——"
On a bitterly cold snowy night, a faint glow of fire appeared from a low cave somewhere, and a few wisps of fragrance wafted out, but were quickly blown away by the wind carrying icy chips.
The cannibal's head, with its eyes open, was thrown to the entrance of the cave as a door god. A bonfire was lit in the cave, and warmth spread. The rising air temperature caused the fragrance to expand faster. Suzuki Kawa was very proud of himself holding the bucket of ten wings that he had snatched with extreme speed.
After becoming a ghost, he had no interest in human flesh and blood. When he was hungry, he would draw blood from the Ghost King's body, and then give the Ghost King some medicine to replenish his qi and blood.
The other three meals a day are no different from those of normal people.
Of course, no difference means he eats three meals a day.
The system strongly condemned his behavior of eating pizza early in the morning, believing that this was an anti-human and anti-AI behavior. Who in their right mind would eat a durian pizza early in the morning?
In order to prevent his room from being contaminated by the smell, Suzuki Kawa braved the sunlight and went to the cave where Muzan's body was previously placed to eat.
After dealing with the last wild organization tonight, Suzuki Kawa was in a good mood and was not in a hurry to go back.
Through his unremitting efforts over the past six months, the vast majority of cannibals have been organized, which is truly cause for celebration.
System: ...those who are not programmed are already dead.
However, the cannibals did change from being unorganized and undisciplined to being organized and undisciplined, which is indeed a significant improvement.
Even Suzuki Kawa's Twelve-Moon Ghost mission still hasn't been completed.
The task progress shows that only three have been completed.
The system said that his Twelve-Crescent Moon will only be complete in the later stage, so there is no need to rush.
【But then again, do you really not want someone who is ugly? 】
Suzuki Chuan insisted on his bottom line: "It's so ugly that I don't even want to look at it, let alone give it blood!"
System: [Okay, then there are a few people who really need to be kicked out. Let me think, what if half of them are ugly?]
Suzuki Kawa: "What do you mean?"
Is there anything about this thing that is ugly?
The system thought for a moment and said nothing else, simply saying: [Just asking, there's no rush now.]
Although the cannibals had no organization or discipline in the past, the core members under Muzan still had a mission, which was to find the blue red spider lily, which was said to allow one to see the sun if eaten.
Suzuki Kawa was not interested at all. After he turned into a ghost, he strolled in the sun for more than an hour. His health bar was thicker than before, and the threat of the sun was nothing to him.
But we really need to give those ghosts something to do.
"Let them research the refrigerator for me. I'm worried about having no place to put the ice cream. It melts every time I want to eat it." Suzuki Kawa had an idea.
system:?
Now, the cannibals no longer worry about where the blue spider lily is.
It’s time to worry about how to evolve from the cold weapon age to the steam age and then leap to the electrical age.
