Chapter 057
"After everyone's discussion, although the Twelve Kizuki are the twelve most powerful generals under Muzan Kibutsuji, there is still a lot of water in them.
For example, the strength of the upper-rank demons and the lower-rank demons is like a chasm between them.
For thousands of years, the upper-rank demons have hardly changed, but the lower-rank demons have changed countless times.
As for the Lower Rank Demons, they can't provide much useful information. However, those who died at the hands of Upper Rank Demons and saw their true faces can provide some useful information."
Still in the cemetery, the girl with black hair tied in two low ponytails spoke to Ubuyashiki Yoya with a wooden face and a stiff voice.
Perhaps even Muzan Kibutsuji himself would not have thought that the Demon Slayer Corps, which had been chasing after him for thousands of years and trying to kill him, had at most used countless lives and bodies to become able to kill the Lower-rank demons, would one day overtake him and catch up with him.
Just yesterday, because of an unexpected situation on Qingxi's side, Ubuyashiki Yoya, who was originally planned to come and see Hasegawa Naoto off for the last time, had to go back early with his people.
It was not until they returned to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters that Kiyoki recovered from the state of being on life and death, shocked to the point of doubting her life, that she explained to everyone that when she opened the Eye of Dialysis, she had seen the soul of a demon after she and Gyoumei Beimei had defeated her.
Originally, after this kind of thing happened once, it would happen a second time, a third time, and a fourth time. What's more, she worked in a clinic and often needed to use her ability to treat people and perform surgery. Basically, every day she could see the souls of some dead relatives who were worried about their living relatives and thus followed the living people in the clinic. After seeing it for a long time, she got used to it.
It was a habit, but she had never seen a situation where most of the souls in a cemetery did not go to the underworld to be reincarnated!!!
The scene is too big, forgive her for not having enough experience.jpg
Originally, the explanation should have ended here and we could turn the page.
But who can blame him for being smart? No wonder he can run the entire Demon Slayer Corps on his own.
So Qingxi was kept at the headquarters that day. The next morning, after she woke up, washed up and had her meal, she went to the cemetery again with Ubuyashiki Kyouya and Ubuyashiki Amane.
But compared to yesterday, not only they came today, but also the Flame Pillar Rengoku Makijuro, the Rock Pillar Gyoumei Hiram, and the Wind Pillar Kitaya Genei came together, and behind them there were three Anbu members with things in their hands.
There is only one purpose - to see if any useful information about Muzan Kibutsuji and the Twelve Kizuki can be collected from the dead souls.
And Qingxi is the bridge that connects the living and the dead.
"The following are the characteristics of a demon that can be confirmed to be most likely still in the upper moon position.
The first one has rainbow-colored eyes, and a patch of white oak hair, as if drenched in sticky, insoluble blood, edged in black. Its weapons are two iron fans engraved with golden lotus flowers and leaves. It freezes its own blood into a mist of tiny ice crystals, which it then spreads. Even the slightest contact with them is enough to freeze a person. Inhaling this ice crystals makes breathing difficult, with the lungs being the first to suffer, causing alveolar necrosis. It's a nemesis for the Demon Slayer swordsmen who use breathing techniques.
Qingxi paused for a moment, waiting until Madam Tianyin, who was sitting at her desk, finished recording the information about the first upper-rank demon. She then continued, "The second one has short pink hair, golden eyes, and blue tattoos representing sinners all over his body. He doesn't kill women. He's an extreme strongman and despises the weak. If he recognizes you as a strong person, you'll be invited to become a demon. He has no weapons, and his moves are based on fighting spirit and are more karate-like. Every move he makes is extremely destructive."
"The third one usually hides in a jade pot. He doesn't stay in the same pot forever. His mouth is where his eyes should be, and his eyes are on his forehead and mouth. His lower body is no longer human, with a fish tail. He always has art hanging on his mouth. If someone dislikes the pot he made, or damages it, he will become mad. His ability is to switch freely through the pot body, attacking with a water gun, slime fish, octopuses, and other aquatic creatures. Also, be careful of the poison he releases when he uses his blood magic... That's about it."
After saying the last word, Qingxi let out a long sigh.
She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, but her hand was soon taken away by another large hand.
She looked up and saw the chin of the tall monk sitting behind her, and felt her hands that were rubbing her eyes being put down again by that broad hand. Even though the other party did not speak, she unexpectedly understood what he meant.
Don't rub your eyes with your hands, it's unhygienic.
Ubuyashiki Yoya was very excited at this moment. Even though what Kiyokisi mentioned from the souls of the dead former Demon Slayer Corps members about the upper-rank demons was not complete, it was still very valuable and useful information for the Demon Slayer Corps.
Because people who usually know that they are upper-rank demons can be said to have almost become the dead souls under their hands. Even if they want to spread their situation, they are powerless because the strength is completely one-sided.
"My lord, do you have anything else to say to them? If not, I will turn off the Dialysis Eye." Qingxi blinked his eyes, which caused headaches due to keeping the Dialysis Eye open for a long time, and asked in a weak voice.
Gathering his thoughts, Ubuyashiki Kōya bowed deeply to the tombstones beside him, "Sorry to bother you all with your peace. We will leave today."
Looking at the black-haired boy who raised his finger in such a steady, humble and polite manner, and hearing the souls in the cemetery responding in unison, if Qingxi didn't know clearly that Ubuyashiki Kazuya could not see those souls, he would have been moved by the scene before him.
"Ah Xi girl, please give us a few more jars of wine next time you come over. The small jar you gave us yesterday is not enough for so many people here."
"And there are some side dishes. It's not that what you cooked yesterday wasn't delicious, but it just doesn't go well with the wine. The fish innards from last time, um, the braised ones tasted really good. If possible, please bring them over next time you come."
"Ah Xi girl..."
"Ashi girl!!!"
She silently closed the Dialysis Eye, ignored the soul jumping in front of her eyes, and pretended not to hear his "instructions".
Generally speaking, we have only met once, and our first impression of each other was definitely not harmonious. How could you say that?
Qingxi secretly complained in his heart.
Also, why did your personality change so drastically after you died and became a ghost?
Or, because you are dead, you have unloaded the burden of the water column, and then you start to let yourself go?
…But no matter what the reason was, she didn't want to bring it to him.
After all, it would be unreasonable if she only brought some for Mr. Hasegawa but not for other souls. But if she was asked to prepare a portion for all souls, then after they had eaten and drunk their fill, what would she do with the food that seemed untouched to outsiders?
Are we just going to leave them here and wait for the animals in the wild to find them and make a mess?
Moreover, to be honest, she couldn't even reheat the dishes offered as sacrifices to the deceased and eat them herself.
Even when she was still living in her own world, there would always be one or two times when her parents would prepare a table of delicious meals to worship the ancestors. After the worship, her parents would take the dishes back to the kitchen to heat them up before eating. She would always have the illusion that these dishes were clearly bought fresh by her father at the market in the morning and cooked by her mother, but they still didn't taste good.
Not to mention that her eyes can now see both living "ghosts" and ghosts that have died and refused to reincarnate.
The girl's slight difference seemed insignificant in the face of the sudden knowledge of the information about the famous upper-rank demon, but there was still one person who noticed it, and that was Gyoumei Beimeijima, who held her on his lap.
I heard from Madam Tianyin how Qingxi was frightened yesterday. This tall and blind monk was silent today, staying by her side in his own way.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Qingxi shook her head, but then she didn't want to cover for Hasegawa Naoto anymore, so she said bluntly, "It's just that staying in the same place all the time is pretty boring... No one will see them in the future, and now that someone has seen them, it's natural for them to want to talk to someone... Anyway, Mr. Hasegawa said that the wine I brought yesterday was good, but the food didn't go well with it, so it wasn't very satisfying. Please ask me to prepare some food next time I bring wine."
As soon as Qingxi finished speaking, even the air around them became strangely silent for a moment.
Feeling the gazes of the people around him, Qingxi raised his hand and touched Diwan who was lying next to his head, and responded with an innocent wink.
That's how you see me, Naoto Hasegawa is just like that, and you should thank me because I have beautified it, otherwise you would hear a "cheerful version of Naoto Hasegawa".
Kitani Xuanying endured it again and again, but in the end he couldn't help it anymore and turned around and ran to Hasegawa Naoto's tombstone, "Asshole! I'm grieving over your death, and this is how you react? You better leave now, whether it's to the underworld or to be reborn as a human. Anyway, even if everyone else is dead and turned into a ghost, you still don't give me peace of mind."
After cursing, Kitani Xuanying felt it was too boring again, because even if he knew that the other person's soul was still in this world, what was the use if the living person could not see it or communicate with it.
He tilted his head and asked Qingxi: "What did he say now?"
Qingxi shook his head, "I don't know. I thought it was too noisy, so I didn't open the Dialysis Eye again."
Kitani Xuanying: "..."
He tutted and turned his head away.
