Chapter 195
After lunch, the afternoon rain became heavier and heavier, threatening to pour heavily.
In the hall, Ubuyashiki Yoya was in his own area, quietly reading the latest batch of messages sent by the crows in batches. Qingxi followed Mrs. Tianyin and helped her to sort out some of the most minor things.
Everything is no different from usual.
Tap tap tap.
The leather shoes made a crisp and abrupt sound when they stepped on the wooden floor.
Here, no one wears leather shoes, let alone walks in the corridor in leather shoes.
The three people who were working in the hall raised their heads.
Not long after, a man appeared at the door of the room. With his arrival, most of the light in the room was blocked, making the room, which was already dim due to the rainy day, look even darker.
Ubuyashiki Yoya put down the brush in his hand, and his purple eyes, which were not yet blind, looked into the other person's scarlet vertical pupils.
"Finally meet you, Muzan Kibutsuji." He said calmly.
Qingxi, who also saw the Demon Slayer Corps' Millennium Goal for the first time, had a look of surprise in his eyes.
Because she found that apart from their hair, one with long straight black hair and the other with curly hair, and the difference in their eyes, in terms of facial features, Ubuyashiki Kōya and Kibutsuji Muzan looked very similar.
How similar are they? So similar that they could call themselves brothers without anyone suspecting anything.
But when you think about it, it doesn't seem so strange.
After all, they were one family thousands of years ago.
But later one of them turned into a ghost in order to survive, while the other took on the huge burden of destroying him.
...Two brothers, fighting to the death...It has the tone of a hot-blooded anime.
However, the two of them are not brothers, they are the relationship between ancestor and descendant.
"I'm so glad." Ubuyashiki Yoya raised his hand and placed it on his forehead. "I was able to see you before the curse eroded my eyes and made me blind."
"I only smell decay on you. If you're going to die, why haven't you gone yet?" Muzan Kibutsuji said with a grim expression. "You, the Demon Slayer Corps, this branch of your family, if you're all going to die, why didn't you die out sooner? You keep chasing me like a little bug. It's really annoying."
Moreover, you are so good at hiding, just like those cockroaches that can't be killed, making people feel nothing but disgusting, disgusting, disgusting."
"I think this sentence is more suitable for you. Isn't it?" Even though he was insulted like that, Ubuyashiki Kagura remained calm and composed.
Qingxi put down the things in her hands, and when Ubuyashiki Kayouya stood up, she also followed Ubuyashiki Amane, put down the things in her hands and stood behind him.
Without saying a word, he quietly served as her background.
But the next moment she discovered something, that Muzan Kibutsuji was really a ghost with a bad temper who could not control himself.
To her, Ubuyashiki Kōya's words were just ordinary barbs between enemies. However, feeling the suddenly increasingly suppressed anger in the air, she knew that the other party could no longer endure it.
Qingxi lowered her head. She didn't want to roll her eyes too obviously and anger the other person.
However, maybe Muzan Kibutsuji’s energy-cultivation skills were really not that good, and the two of them talked again. Maybe less than two minutes had passed before the entire Demon Slayer Corps headquarters exploded.
Yes, that’s right, the ending of this ghost-killing show still couldn’t escape the explosion.
No, that's not the case. What I should say is that they finally have the time (emphasis) to come here. As the management of the Demon Slayer Corps, it would be unreasonable not to come up with some good things to entertain such an important "guest" (emphasis).
What kind of hospitality is the most "warm" and can best make the "guests" feel the host's sincerity?
I guess the only thing left is the grand "fireworks display" (emphasis added).
She held Ubuyashiki Kyouya and Ubuyashiki Amane tightly against her body, ignoring the continuous explosions, collapsed buildings, and flames behind her. She followed her own pace and stuffed two small wooden boxes, which were no bigger than her palm and had been prepared long ago but not yet taken out, into their arms. At the same time, she also had a similar box in her arms.
With thirty amulets per person, I think it should be enough to save three people's lives from the explosion.
While Qingxi was thinking, he took out a super large piece of steel bull skin from his food backpack, which could cover the three of them, and covered their heads with it.
The Iron Bull, captured and registered at level 119, has an impeccable set of steel leather armor that gives every gourmet hunter a headache to conquer. It weighs about 10 tons, and its meat is as tender and plump as tuna. Many chefs like to use it to make beef sashimi. The leather armor that wraps its delicious body will be completely peeled off and taken to the factory to be made into outdoor tents and outdoor safe houses. It is very strong and durable.
Now, it has become a fortress for the three of them to avoid being affected by the collapsed buildings around them.
"Just stay hidden for a while." The disheveled man took out the small flashlight that the swordsman from Honmaru had secretly passed to him, pressed the button, and the originally dark space was illuminated by a warm yellow light.
Her eyes swept over Ubuyashiki Kyouya and Ubuyashiki Amane, confirming that the two were only a little dusty from the dust and flames brought by the explosion, and their clothes were a little holed by the cores of the sparks. She breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that they had no physical injuries, and spoke to them half-jokingly.
Well, they didn't know how many of the amulets in the small boxes in their hands were consumed by the explosion just now.
...If possible, I hope to consume fewer of them, so that I can use them later.
In the light of the lamp, Ubuyashiki Kōya opened the box in his hand and saw the intact and broken amulets inside. He was speechless, "These are more needed by the Demon Slayer Corps than leaving them to me."
"I have already given it all. This belongs to you, my lord, and Madam Tianyin." Qingxi retorted.
After a pause, she added, "Although it's a one-time prop, I've been making it for a year. From being a novice to becoming proficient, the amount of money I've accumulated is definitely quite a lot... At the very least, it's guaranteed that every ghost hunter can wear one."
She put her ear on the leather armor of the Iron Bull, listening to the movement outside, "Now, what we should do is to find a way to evacuate from here.
Don’t cause trouble for others who come here.”
The leather armor of the Iron Bull was not soundproof, and soon she heard the voices of familiar people one after another.
Qingxi's blue eyes lit up, "I heard the voices of Xingming and the others."
As she spoke, she took out a short knife from her bosom, channeled her spiritual power, and golden light flowed on the blade. Gradually, the golden light grew stronger, and a small figure appeared from behind the golden light.
"Xiaoye, come and help me." Qingxi asked the two adults here to move a little, and scratched the floor under their feet which was not affected by the explosion.
After the afternoon, he handed his body to Qingxi. Sayo Sahmonji, who was held in her arms, squatted on the ground without saying a word and looked for something with Qingxi.
Naruto's Blood Demon Art Infinite Castle is simply a bug. She is very worried that if Muzan Kibutsuji asks her to open a door under their feet, then the four of them will fall directly into the demon's lair.
Is there any chance of survival after entering the ghost's lair?
Let Sayo Sawamonji take on three people at once... Anyway, she felt that this might not be feasible.
In order not to hold others back, Qingxi now has only one idea in his mind - to quickly evacuate this high-risk area with everyone.
"Found it."
She pulled aside the wooden planks beneath her feet and picked up the thick iron chain that she had secretly placed under the floor of the room.
"It might be a little uncomfortable." Qingxi picked up one and wrapped it around Ubuyashiki Yoya. Sayo Sawamonji, who was a step slower than her, also wrapped the chain in her hand around Ubuyashiki Tenon.
Seeing this, Ubuyashiki Kōya was confused. "Jiro is nearby."
Qingxi: “Yes.”
Ubuyashiki Yoya cooperated with Kiyoki to tie up his body with chains, "Hina and Hikaru know about this, right?"
Otherwise, he didn't know how she persuaded the two stubborn children who wanted to stay with her and Tianyin to evacuate with Huiliya, Hangnai, and Kanata.
"Yes." Qingxi nodded. "I told them that they must evacuate first. The more people stay here, the slower the chains will be tied up, and the slower the evacuation will be.
In order not to cause trouble for everyone by staying here, they will evacuate to a safe place with Teriya and the others. Jiro will take us to reunite with them later."
After tying the chains for Ubuyashiki Yoya, Qingxi squatted on the ground and picked up another one.
She prepared four chains, pointing them at the four people on their side.
She had just tied it up and was waiting for Xiaoye, but unexpectedly, the thing she least wanted to see happened. A shoji gate leading to the Infinite Castle appeared under their feet.
"Xiaoye, catch me." Qingxi said to Xiaoye Sawamonji.
After she finished speaking, she urged the two people beside her, "Quick, pull the chain three times."
Ubuyashiki Yoya listened to her words, grabbed the chains tied to his body with both hands, and pulled them hard three times together with Ubuyashiki Amane.
Feeling the air beneath his feet, Qingxi caught Sayo Sawamonji and put the leather armor of the Iron Bull covering their heads into the gourmet backpack.
In an instant, the scene in front of the four people changed, and a burst of force carried them straight up, so fast that it became difficult for them to breathe.
Qingxi lowered his head and buried most of his face in Sayo Sawamonji's shoulder in his arms, leaving only his eyes staring at the headquarters filled with flames.
There was a lot of explosives buried under the entire headquarters, especially in the Hiroma area, where there was double the amount. If such a large amount exploded together, it would not be easy to extinguish the flames even if it was a rainy day. What's more, she also provided a bunch of extra kiwanos. Although she felt a little guilty about wasting these ingredients, in a disguised way, it was also a treat for Muzan Kibutsuji.
I just hope that the impact of the explosion can splash more diesel on him and let the flames burn him.
Inside the headquarters, the ragged young man who was blown up no longer lived up to his initial elegance and nobility. He was entangled in chains and could not attack him for a short time.
The heavy rain blocked her vision. In her last sight when Jiro was flying with her, all she could see was the flames still burning under the rain and the scarlet beast-like eyes of Muzan Kibutsuji.
.
"Are you okay?"
"My lord, Madam Tianyin, Ah Xi...quickly, untie their chains and go inside first."
A crow and four people slowly landed in a courtyard.
The moment they landed in the yard, the people who had been waiting in the corridor rushed out hurriedly with umbrellas.
Helped to remove the chains tied to the three people and held an umbrella over their heads.
Sayo Sawamonji looked at the trembling arms of the girl who had carried him all the way here. He pursed his lips and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm too heavy."
"Why do you think so?" Qingxi, whose arms were weak, could only rely on others to untie the chains on her body. When she heard the boy's words, she asked in surprise.
"In Honmaru, Xiaoye, you are the lightest boy." She said. "Don't you know?"
Sayo Sawamonji met her gaze and said, "But I still managed to strain both of your arms."
Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, she said, "The same thing happens to me when I hold other things for a long time." She rubbed his head, "Don't always blame yourself for this. This is really none of your business... It's mainly because I gave myself the "I'm an ordinary person" cheat. Otherwise, I wouldn't be afraid of Muzan Kibutsuji."
The girl mumbled to herself as the chains on her body were untied. However, her legs were weak and if Sayo Sawamonji hadn't been quick to hold her up, she would have definitely fallen.
Rengoku Makijuro carried Ubuyashiki Yoya on his shoulders and said, "My lord, Lord Teriyachi and Miss Hinai are in charge of things here. You should go and clean up first."
Ubuyashiki Yoya looked down at his wet, dripping clothes and said, "I'll be right there after I change."
The group hurried to the eaves. Dry clothes had already been prepared. Qingxi simply rinsed them with hot water and came out dressed.
She walked along the corridor and arrived outside the Hiroma. She saw that the shoji door of the Hiroma was closed and four people were standing at the door: the former Flame Pillar Rengoku Makijuro, the former Wind Pillar Kitaya Gen'ei, the former Sound Pillar Kuwajima Jigoro, and an old man wearing a Tengu mask and clothes decorated with auspicious clouds and ripples.
Facing all the gazes coming towards her, Qingxi paused in her steps and began to consider whether she should go back the way she came. For some reason, she always had a feeling that if she continued to move forward, she would just be a burden that would be of no help.
"Hmm, don't you want to take a rest?" Sensing the girl's discomfort, Makijuro, the future eunuch, asked.
Qingxi hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards them. Looking at the four people sitting there, she felt that her legs would be numb if she sat there for less than five minutes, so she chose to lean her back against the nearest pillar.
She shook her head: "Maybe not..." Her gaze passed through the eaves and fell outside. "I'm a little worried about Xingming, Kyojuro and the others. Staying alone in the house will make them think too much."
After a pause, she asked, "Sister Kanae..."
"Kanae should be outside with the Anbu members to rescue people now." Rengoku Makijuro thought for a while and said.
Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't go to the Infinite Castle, he wouldn't have to fight against Douma, and the outcome shouldn't end in death.
But Qingxi immediately felt that it was too early to be relieved.
Because a mutated crow flew back to deliver a message - the former Flower Pillar Butterfly Kanae, and the current Insect Pillar Butterfly Shinobu encountered Upper Rank Two Douma.
Qingxi gasped and his face turned dark in an instant.
What you fear is what you encounter.
The Butterfly Sisters and Douma might have some bad fate in their previous life. The entire plot of the show has been changed beyond recognition without her knowledge, and the time has also been advanced. In this way, they will meet... What about Kyojuro, the one who was supposed to die in the Infinity Train arc this winter? Will he meet Upper Three Akaza again?
The news that Jiao Ya brought back was quite shocking, causing Qingxi's breathing to become rapid.
...and Upper One, Tsugikoku Yansheng...Gyomei, Muichiro and Busei...Will they meet again?
No, the person we should be most worried about now is Muichiro. What was his ending in that anime?
"Ashi."
Cut in half, excessive blood loss...
"Ashi."
No, it shouldn't happen this time. Yakuen, Tsurumaru, Horikawa, Okutari, Otenta, as well as Eiyu, Suzumaru, Aoe, Jiro and the others are also there... Either they have the maximum level 99 swords, or they have polarized swords above level 80 after polarization. With them around, everyone's ending shouldn't be so tragic.
"Ashi!!"
With his hands on her shoulders, he shook the girl, who had been lost in worry for a long time, out of her misery.
"Rengoku, sir?" The blue eyes stared at Rengoku Makijuro for a long time before she spoke as if she had found her voice again.
"Are you okay?" Rengoku Makijuro asked after taking a long breath.
"I'm fine." Qingxi pursed her lips and said.
Retracting his hand from the girl's shoulder, Rengoku Makijuro frowned and asked, "What did you just think of?"
Qingxi's body stiffened and she shook her head, "No, I'm just a little worried."
Liar!
The girl's behavior just now was completely different from what she said.
In particular, she seemed to have just said the word "cut in half".
Why would she say that at a time like this? Is she hiding something from them?
However, before he could open his mouth to ask, another sound of footsteps was heard. He turned his attention and saw that it was the short sword swordsman, Sayo Sahmonji.
The boy who had taken a shower and changed into dry clothes seemed to have become brighter. He stood quietly beside the girl, with two short swords on his waist, one was his original body, and the other was a sun wheel sword forged by swordsmiths based on the values of their original bodies.
One of his hands gently pulled the hem of her clothes. Feeling the sudden extra weight on her body, Qingxi lowered her head and met the boy's worried blue eyes, which were similar to her own.
Qingxi subconsciously rubbed his head, "I'm fine, don't worry."
"I'll go back and take a look." Sayo Sawamonji said.
"No, I'm more worried about you being alone." Qingxi shook his head.
Just as the two were talking, a noisy sound came from the front.
Qingxi was stunned, but she saw from the corner of her eye that Rengoku Makijuro beside her was tense, and the other three also picked up the Nichirin swords placed at their sides and looked fully alert. She understood.
It was a ghost. Muzan Kibutsuji couldn't come here himself, so he sent a large number of ghosts to attack.
"Aki, take Sayo Samonji into Hiroma, close the door and don't come out." Rengoku Makijuro said to her.
At times like this, Qingxi felt that she was particularly obedient.
Not wanting to disturb the people inside, Qingxi gently opened the shoji door. Before closing it, she said to the four people outside, "Don't worry about the people inside. If the battle goes badly, I will summon the sword men."
Among the four, perhaps only Rengoku Makijuro and Kitaya Genei, who had been with her for a long time, understood the meaning of her words best.
Kitani Xuanying drew his Sun Blade and said, "Girl, since you've made this promise, you will be responsible for the Lord's final safety."
"...I'll try my best." Qingxi said with a wry smile.
She is not a gifted Shinsengumi. She is just a former gourmet hunter who was suddenly given this cheat by Atong, and a self-taught Shinsengumi. She feels really pressured to have their lives entrusted to her like that.
When she closed the shoji door for the last time, she saw that the first four pillars were already fighting with the first ghost that rushed in, with this wide room as the center.
Qingxi still couldn't "summon by name" the sword man: What should she do? She was under even greater pressure.
