Chapter 98: Yunyi, are you hanging out with a ghost?
Ando Tsukasa has very complicated feelings towards Suzuki Kawa.
If someone asked him if he could live with his idol every day, he would definitely answer that he would be willing to do so immediately.
However, he was really scared when he met Suzuki Kawa for the first time. Maybe it was because he had some strange characteristics. Now he has turned from a fanatical fan into an extreme toxic fan. When Suzuki Kawa pointed at him, he shouted and ran away.
I swear to die for Lord Suzuki!
He worked very hard to search for the Lower Moon plan and recruit Douma, but made zero progress.
How could he think those ghosts deserve to be in the twelve-quarter moon?
Even he can't beat him!
Suzuki Kawa was very dissatisfied with the progress of his task, but he didn't say anything because there was a new task that needed to be assigned to his younger brother Ando Tsukasa.
The system said that Ando Tsukasa had received quite rigorous training before becoming a card-opening anchor, and had all-round development in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor skills, so it was no problem for him to beat Suzuki Kawa in academic performance.
"You go teach those ghosts math and physics."
Hearing Suzuki Kawa's words, Ando Tsukasa looked up blankly: "What?"
Suzuki Kawa looked at him in confusion: "Didn't you hear? You go teach them math and physics, I want to develop something powerful." When he said the second half of the sentence, the young man's face was very serious.
At the boss's serious expression, Ando Tsukasa's pupils shrank, and his mind raced. Despite the immense pressure, he clenched his fist and said firmly, "So that's how it is... I understand, boss! I'll go back and edit the textbook now!"
Looking at Ando Tsukasa's resolute back as he left, Suzuki Kawa frowned.
He muttered to the system: "Did he make up something in his mind?"
System 888, his former boss, boasted that he understood Ando Tsukasa. After a moment's reflection, he said, "He probably thought you were going to research bomb tanks, so you could destroy the Demon Slayer Corps with a single blow and achieve a high-dimensional crushing victory."
Suzuki Kawa: ...He doesn't have such lofty ambitions.
However, it is good to have subordinates who are motivated, so Suzuki Kawa did not explain and went back to his room to continue reading his comics.
The days passed by in a dull manner. Ando Tsukasa devoted himself to writing textbooks, and had the potential to become a big name in the future cannibal academic world. Cheng Ji continued to expand the Infinite City. From the empty shell at the beginning to the ever-changing interior of the attic platform now, it did have some shadows of the future science and technology city.
Because of Suzuki Kawa's recruitment, there were fewer cannibals outside, and the casualties of the Demon Slayer Corps remained at a very low number for a long time.
Shirohime often goes to inquire about the news of the Demon Slayer Corps.
It is said that after the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps learned the breathing sword technique, they derived breathing techniques other than the Sun Breathing, such as the Moon Breathing of Yan Sheng of Jiguo, and the five breathing sword techniques of wind, thunder, fire, water, and rock.
The holders of the seven types of breathing sword techniques, collectively known as the Seven Pillars, are the highest-ranking swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps.
The time in Infinite City also slowed down due to the increasing number of little ghosts. It changed about every two seasons, with only spring and summer passing and autumn and winter forgotten.
Suzuki Chuan would occasionally go out for a stroll and follow Yan Sheng to complete tasks.
You will also encounter Kokushibo who suddenly floats over.
"There are not many ghosts left now, so why are you still out on patrol?" Suzuki Kawa squatted stealthily in the bushes and asked Kokushibo next to him.
Kokushibo: "He... doesn't want to stay in... the Demon Slayer Corps."
"Hmm?" Suzuki Kawa knew something was wrong when he heard it. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Kokushibo, "Why? Because of Yoriichi?"
As a close friend who had been together day and night, Suzuki Kawa was quite familiar with Yan Sheng's heart knot, so after Kokushiboichi finished speaking, he thought of this.
Kokushibo was stunned for a moment before nodding.
Then he said that Yan Sheng and Yuan Yi had a quarrel recently. To be precise, it was Yan Sheng who quarreled with Yuan Yi unilaterally. Yuan Yi had no idea that he was being quarreled with and greeted his brother as usual.
Yan Sheng became even angrier.
He would go out on patrol at night and rest during the day, trying to avoid Yunyi.
As a result, Yunyi caught him tonight and said he wanted to go out on patrol with him.
Yuanyi suspected that Yan Sheng had discovered a powerful ghost and wanted to act on his own without telling anyone. After all, Yan Sheng's personality did not like to trouble others.
Yan Sheng coldly rejected Yuanyi and came out on his own.
Half an hour had passed by the time Kokushibo finished explaining the whole story. Suzuki Kawa had become accustomed to his slow tone and was no longer in a hurry. Instead, he stood up and looked outside.
Then he suddenly pulled his head back: "Damn, I saw Yunyi!"
"He had his back to me, so he probably didn't notice it, right?"
Yan Shengcai had just walked past here not long ago, otherwise he wouldn't have met Kokushibo.
This guy Yuanyi actually followed Yan Sheng, how shameful!
The system couldn't help but complain about him: [You've followed me more often, right? Big brother, please don't criticize the second brother, okay?]
This forest is several hundred meters away from the sun pillar over there. If it weren't for Yoriichi's fiery red clothes being too conspicuous and Suzuki Kawa's five senses being enhanced after becoming a demon, he probably wouldn't have noticed someone flashing by.
Suzuki Kawa didn't believe that Yuanyi would find him, after all, he was squatting in the bushes deep in the forest.
However, his self-confidence often backfired.
“Who’s there!”
A fierce wind blew and flattened the bushes above Suzuki Kawa's head. If he hadn't shrunk his head quickly, half of his forehead would have been level with the wind.
Suzuki Kawa was shocked, incredulous, and furious: "Fuck, this guy Tsugumi Yuichi rushed from 300 meters away to me in just 3 seconds. Is he superhuman?!"
[It's exceeded the limit! ]
System: [I know you are very angry now, but don’t be angry yet, Yunyi has already seen you.]
If I continue squatting like this in a disgusting manner, I will lose all my face.
Kokushibo didn't expect that Yoshiichirō was so fast. He looked at Suzuki Kawa and then disappeared.
Suzuki Kawa couldn't help but stand up. Seeing the familiar Tsugikoku Yoriichi a few meters away, he smiled kindly: "Ah, long time no see, Yoriichi."
After seeing the face in the dark forest clearly, Ji Guoyuan's wrist holding the knife stiffened. He stared at the familiar yet long-lost face, and a rare and obvious emotion fluctuated in his eyes: "Is it you?"
In the transparent world, his gaze fell on Suzuki Kawa's heart, and the shock in his eyes became more obvious.
"Brother's heart... is in you now?" he asked.
Since Yan Sheng was attacked last year, Yunyi went to visit his brother as soon as possible, but found that his brother's heart was different from before. The signs of heart failure caused by the markings had completely disappeared, replaced by a vibrant and beating heart.
The prophecy that the owner of the stripes would not live beyond the age of twenty-five was also broken by Yan Sheng.
But Tsugikuni Yoshiichi knew that it was not that the prophecy was useless, but that someone had taken away his brother's failing heart before it completely failed.
Only that kind of creature can do what the most powerful doctor in the world cannot do.
Yoriichi had a guess in his mind, but he didn't tell anyone because he didn't know whether that person had left the Demon Slayer Corps and lived the life he wanted, or had really become the same kind of evil demon as he killed.
Until today——
He looked at the shriveled heart in Suzuki Kawa's body. Although he had guessed it, when he actually saw it, he was shocked.
The tip of the Sun Blade dropped and touched the ground, and Ji Guoyuan pursed his lips.
The purpose of the Demon Slayer Corps is to kill all evil demons without mercy.
This was the first time he had stabbed a cannibal.
Suzuki Kawa finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him put down the knife. Facing this unconventional existence, it is better not to fight.
They kept a safe distance.
Suzuki Kawa knew that Yunyi had a transparent world, so the secret of the disappearance of the side effects of the stripes could not be hidden. He simply said to Yunyi: "Don't tell Yan Sheng about the stripes."
Ji Guoyuan looked at him and said, "Brother, it seems you have lost your memory."
"Back then, at home, no one talked about Xiaochuan's existence. Everyone was forgetting about you."
Suzuki Kawa didn't expect that Yoriichi still remembered what happened in Jigsaw Country. Perhaps the surprise on his face was too obvious, and the corners of Jigsaw Country Yoriichi's lips tightened.
However, the next second, he saw an apologetic expression on Suzuki Kawa's face: "Is that so? I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to remember. It must be hard for a person to bear so many memories that others have forgotten."
It's a good thing that everyone has forgotten everything. It's a good way to perfectly cover up all traces of his presence.
But there is one person who remembers everything, which is great pain.
Suzuki Kawa sincerely apologized to him.
Jiguo Yuanyi's grip on the knife handle tightened, his fingertips turning white but he didn't feel anything. He just unconsciously averted his gaze and whispered, "Ogawa has turned into a ghost after all."
Soon he remembered another thing: "The ghosts have disappeared recently..."
Suzuki Chuan tilted his head and said, "Well, I went to kill some ghosts, and you guys also killed a bunch, so of course there aren't many left - you're not going to kill me, are you?"
He showed a vigilant expression on his face and moved closer to the big tree next to him.
In Yoriichi Tsugakuin's transparent world, he didn't know how much information this body would reveal, but soon, he saw Yoriichi Tsugakuin put away the Nichirin Sword.
Rizhu looked at him and said, "You have never eaten a human."
Suzuki Kawa opened his eyes wide.
[You can even see this?!] He was shocked.
The system yelled, "Ah ...
Seeing Suzuki Kawa's astonishment, Jiguo Yuanyi lowered his eyes: "The flesh and blood of a cannibal who has eaten humans will be different."
He was only focused on looking at Suzuki Kawa's heart and hadn't noticed any other differences in the body.
Five minutes later, the system looked at Suzuki Kawa who was sitting with Yuichiro Tsugikoku, looking like good brothers, and lamented that Suzuki Kawa was the only one who could sit with Hiruzen without being hacked to death.
Yuichiro Tsugikoku has indeed been a little distressed recently.
Because of the Demon Slayer Corps.
"Everyone seems to no longer care about killing demons or improving themselves, but instead wants to gain a higher status in the team." Yuichiro said lightly, thinking of the undercurrents among the other pillars.
When external pressure disappears, internal problems will arise. The current Demon Slayer Corps is not as united as it is in later generations. In the early years when Suzuki Kawa was in the team, there was even an incident of rebellion.
The young lord cannot convince the others. The Ubuyashiki family has a considerable business and makes considerable profits every year. Relying solely on the Ubuyashiki siblings, the Demon Slayer Corps did not have any particularly powerful swordsmen in the past, and everyone's level was similar, so they could naturally control the team.
However, with the emergence of breathing techniques and the formation of the Seven Pillars, factions began to form factions within the Demon Slayer Corps.
They began to exclude the unsociable Day pillar Tsugumi Yoriichi, and then tried to please the Moon pillar Tsugumi Yansheng, who was gradually becoming estranged from Yoriichi. Although Tsugumi Yansheng did not respond to their kindness, as long as the strongest Tsugumi Yoriichi was excluded, the environment was favorable.
And they also don't believe what Yunyi will do to them.
They are the same kind.
"Ah, these guys are such a nuisance." Suzuki Chuan held his chin in his hand. "Let them go back ten years and try. If I don't take care of them one by one, I'm not going to be named Suzuki."
"Do you want to tell your elder brother about your affairs?" Jikoku Yoshiichi looked at the ghost next to him whose face was no different from that of an eighteen-year-old. Because of the age freeze, he recognized Suzuki Kawa at the first time.
Suzuki Chuan shook his head repeatedly: "Forget it, I managed to leave without telling him."
Ji Guoyuan looked at him and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
He always felt that his brother seemed to remember something since the attack that night, but he couldn't be sure because he didn't talk much with his brother.
Suzuki Chuan patted his shoulder and said, "You go back first. I have to go back too. If you don't like the Demon Slayer Corps, just leave. The world outside is so big. It's nice to go out for a walk."
With Yunyi's ability to survive in the wild, he is expected to become the first person to travel across the country in this era.
Just as Yunyi was about to answer, another cold voice suddenly sounded.
"Yuichi, are you hanging out with a ghost?"
