Chapter 18

"Damn, where is Tokyo? If he were here, we wouldn't have to look for him like this." Gojo Satoru was driven to find the missing persons in each flower house. This was an agreement reached between the High School duo and the Demon Slayer Corps.

Lurking in various flower houses, hiding in awkward clothes, and only able to perform some "logistical tasks", Gojo Satoru was really a little angry when he thought of Tokyo, which was also in the same barrier.

But the people who should have come out to refute did not move, and Geto Suguru had not spoken for a long time. In fact, Gojo Satoru was a little confused. As the Sound Pillar, U■Tengen took on the most dangerous mission, and the three members of the Demon Slayer Corps also had a high chance of facing the dangerous upper ranks, but they were the only ones who were arranged to a safe position.

Although they lost most of their power, Gojo Satoru and Geto believed that their abilities were at least comparable to the other three, but even so, they were still protected. And it was not because they did not trust them, but simply because they were the Demon Slayer Corps, they would take the initiative to take that risk.

"Damn it, if I were still strong enough..." Gojo Satoru's complaints became smaller and smaller, because he knew that as a sorcerer, he had already reached a peak that ordinary people could not reach, and those pillars had reached the peak with the power of mortals.

The white-haired sorcerer fell silent, while his best friend was also lost in thought.

Xia Youjie clenched his fists. As expected, no curse spirit could respond to him. He thought of the Sound Column, whom he had only seen once. The thriving muscle lines all showed a sense of strength.

Before he became a sorcerer, his parents had sent him to a junior class to learn close combat because he was interested in physical skills. It only took him one month to defeat the tall teacher who taught him fighting skills.

At that time, he didn't know the existence of cursed power, and he didn't know that because of the strengthening of cursed power, he could easily do many things that ordinary people couldn't do. At that time, he just thought that he was very powerful and would become more powerful in the future. Compared with the powerful him, his teachers, parents and classmates were weak.

Today, however, he saw ordinary people who were unusually powerful.

"Anyway, let's carry out the mission first." What happened here was really beyond the views that Geto Suguru had insisted on over the years, but he knew that the most urgent task was to rescue the hostages so that the Demon Slayer Corps could focus on killing the evil demons.

Gojo Satoru, who had faced the upper-rank demon's weapon, knew clearly that the upper-rank demon used a cloth belt to shuttle between the mezzanine floors of the house and the narrow tunnels.

Gojo Satoru cannot directly use magic to bombard a path, so he can only let Geto Suguru's cursed spirit find a path.

Although the strength of the two was greatly reduced in this barrier, and those cursed spirits above level one could not respond to Geto Suguru, fortunately, Geto Suguru also had cursed spirits below level one.

Watching the worm-like Curse Spirits burrowing into the gaps between the wooden boards, Gojo Satoru asked curiously, "This Curse Spirit is only level three, right? Jay, is your dream to become a Pokémon trainer and collect all kinds of Curse Spirits?"

Xia Yujie rolled his eyes at Gojo Satoru and said, "This is the cursed spirit I collected when I first became a sorcerer. Although it is very weak, its sense of smell is very developed and can track the enemy. It can also share the line of sight with me, so it is perfect for exploring the way."

Gojo Satoru was noncommittal. If the aura of the cursed spirit could not be concealed, a level 3 cursed spirit would be easily destroyed, and it would be completely impractical to use it to explore the way. It turned out that Geto Suguru, who still kept such cursed spirits, was just a simple collector!

The two followed the worm curse spirit all the way to a certain flower house. Xia Youjie suddenly said, "It's right below. The curse spirit can't solve the next thing. I can only rely on you to lead the way."

"How many meters is it from here to the tunnel below?" Gojo Satoru's spell has extremely strong destructive power. If the person below was the target of attack, it would be fine, but there were hostages to be rescued below, and Gojo Satoru felt that he had to control his strength well to avoid hurting the people below.

Xia Youjie used the worm curse to estimate: "About 200 meters."

"Okay, let me do it." Gojo Satoru prepared with his right hand. He had been unhappy for a long time. After rescuing the hostages, he would go to meet up with the Demon Slayer Corps. That way, they would have no reason to stop him.

Gojo Satoru thought so and activated the technique.

After a bang, a small pit with a diameter of less than one meter appeared on the ground.

Gojo Satoru: “…”

Geto Summer Oil: "...Pfft, Satoru, have you forgotten that your power is suppressed?"

Gojo Satoru became furious and this time switched to a stronger output. Then, with a slightly louder sound than before, a hole slightly larger than before appeared on the ground.

The friendly colleague laughed so hard that his eyes could hardly open: "I told you, Satoru, you forgot to adjust the power."

Gojo Satoru said angrily, "Do you think I don't want to? This is the maximum power that can be released! Isn't it true that you can only summon a bug?"

The two looked at each other, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes, and put away their teasing mood. The two could only choose to blow up the pit again and again. Although this efficiency is much lower than the previous two people's vigorous exorcism of the cursed spirit, it is still better than digging a pit with bare hands.

After a lot of effort, the two finally dug to the bottom. However, they were covered in dust and were dumbfounded when they saw the empty underground.

According to the instructions of the worm curse spirit, this is indeed the place where the evil spirit's aura is the strongest. It is undoubtedly the granary where the evil spirits store food.

"What's going on? Did the Demon Slayer Corps rescue the hostages in advance?" Gojo Satoru couldn't accept the fact that he finally dug a hole but found nothing inside.

Xia Youjie shook his head: "It shouldn't be them. There are no signs of fighting here."

There was no need to fight to transfer the hostages at once. The two of them thought of a thing at the same time: "Tokyo!"

"So he disappeared to save someone." Gojo Satoru muttered, but the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably.

Geto Suguru: "Well, you really helped us a lot." You know, even they can't take the hostages away easily. If they call the Demon Slayer Corps for reinforcements, it will undoubtedly be a waste of the Demon Slayer Corps' combat power.

"So are we going to look for Tokyo now?" Gojo Satoru said, "Having Tokyo here will be of great help to us." Apart from anything else, as long as they find the evil spirits, Tokyo can drag them directly into the shadow. Having experienced the taste of the shadow world, Gojo Satoru very much hopes that the cannibals can try it.

But Geto Xiayou shook his head: "No, we should go and meet up with the Demon Slayer Corps first. If Tokyo wants to find us, he will appear in front of us immediately, but it will be difficult for us to find Tokyo."

What's more, although he didn't know the reason, Xia Youjie felt that Tokyo might not want to appear in front of them.

"We..." Before they could finish their words, they both heard a loud noise coming from above.

With such a big commotion in Yoshiwara, there is no doubt that the Demon Slayer Corps has finally found the evil demon!

The two technical high school students looked at each other. Although Yu■Tianyuan didn't allow them to take part in the battle with the evil spirits, they would not be themselves if they didn't join in. The two of them rushed towards the direction of the battle in tacit understanding.

The lights on the Flower Street at night were as bright as day, so it was not too difficult to find the battle site.

However, when they arrived at the scene, they were stunned by the scene before them.

What meets the eye is the red color all over the sky, the hazy red lights, the red flames burning on the wooden buildings, and the blood flowing from the bodies of the Demon Slayer Corps members who were fighting to the death.

They would die if they continued like this! The two knew this without a doubt.

The stories recorded in paper materials cannot depict the whole story. Even though they know that the Demon Slayer Corps has defeated the evil demons, the curse masters who are also fighting against dangerous cursed spirits do not have much emotion in their hearts.

The shock in my heart started beating again and again after the visual signal came from my eyes. What kind of scene was that? Without the support of external forces, what can human beings achieve?

Only by looking at the scene before them could one understand that the swordsman's sword had been swung to its limit, and that human courage allowed them to move forward without hesitation, abandoning life and death, just to slay the monster before them that was threatening everyone.

We have to go and help, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru thought.

"I don't recommend you go over there." A light figure appeared behind them at some point.

Gojo Satoru didn't have time to think so much, and he ran forward without even looking back: "Tokyo, don't stop me."

The same goes for Geto Suguru. Although there are almost no cursed spirits that can be used, he cannot ignore the scene before him.

The brave young men went to fight without hesitation, but they also missed the sighs of the city behind them.

"Don't you know where this place is? Yet you're still foolishly moving forward. Humans are really a bunch of incomprehensible people."

Gojo Satoru activated his technique, and Geto Suguru also dug out a usable weapon from the ruins. However, the moment he faced Upper Six's Fallen Princess, it was like a bullet passing through a layer of water, and the surging water waves dissipated its force layer by layer.

"Don't stay here, go help those trapped in the ruins." The blond swordsman blocked the sickle that was stabbing at the duo in a sleepwalking state with snot bubbles in his nose.

"You're right. I should help you, big brother. Don't cause trouble for us." The member of the Demon Slayer Corps wearing a wild boar head mask used his double swords to turn the belt that was passing by.

In order to avoid affecting more people, the Demon Slayer Corps swordsman tried hard to keep the two Upper-rank demons within a limited range.

Gritting his teeth, Gojo Satoru punched the tile hard: "What the hell is going on?"

Xia Youjie was also puzzled: "Let's go and rescue the people trapped here first."

The two put aside their frustration and moved the wooden tiles from the places where people were calling for help, and rescued the people trapped inside. Then they found that not all the people who were lucky enough to escape had left.

Those who received the rescue immediately rushed to another rescue location to save people. Even though the evil spirit was still not far away and danger could come at any time, those people completely ignored it and carefully removed the heavy objects to rescue the neighbors, friends, and even strangers trapped underneath.

Neither evil spirits nor fire can be feared at this time, as humans will always be the ones who overcome the difficulties before them and move on.

Snow began to fall from the sky.
