Chapter 201: Page 201

There is still a long way to go and we must keep moving forward with our feet on the ground.

Yuzhongjin looked around, his eyes glowing with golden light, and with the help of the "Magic Eye·Clairvoyance", he looked towards the town two kilometers away.

Although people in the town are wearing old-fashioned clothes, Ford cars can be seen in the town.

"Although it's not modern, it's past the Edo period, so it looks like it's Taisho."

The reason why Yu Zhuanjin was so sure was because she knew what kind of world this was.

"Demon Slayer"!

Of course, Yuzhong Jin has some involvement in this anime series.

After all, it had collaborated with the neighboring games "Onmyoji" and "Battle! Heian-kyo" several times.

Yuzhong Jin doesn't dare to claim that he knows everything about it, but he has studied most of the characters and stories.

……

It was during the Taisho period in Japan.

Legend has it that after the sun sets, evil ghosts appear to eat people; there are also ghost hunters who kill the evil ghosts and protect people.

Tanjiro, a charcoal-selling boy, had an ordinary and happy daily life that changed drastically the day his family was attacked by an evil spirit.

His mother and four younger brothers and sisters were brutally murdered, and his sister Nezuko, who survived with him, was transformed into a ferocious demon.

Under the guidance of the ghost hunter, Tanjiro, who is determined to become a ghost hunter, and Nezuko, who has turned into a ghost but still retains her sanity, embark on a journey.

……

This is probably the situation described above.

The first line of the introduction contains the current time.

but……

If Yuzhongjin remembers correctly, this story should have begun in winter.

"Now, it seems to be midsummer."

Yu Zhuanjin looked up at the sky. The sun was particularly dazzling and the air was a little distorted, although she didn't feel anything about it.

But the heat visible to the naked eye is quite fierce.

The first mission is relatively ordinary, but as far as Yuujin knows, the number of demons in "Demon Slayer" is not large, and the total number is definitely not over ten thousand. Otherwise, if the population exceeds the red line, there will be large-scale social unrest, which will inevitably trigger a full-scale conflict between humans and evil spirits.

The first demon, Muzan, did not have the courage and determination, so he also deliberately concealed the influence of demons in the human group.

All demons are created by Muzan, so their number is controllable.

Although the mission target is only one hundred, this requirement is actually very troublesome.

There are less than five-digit ghosts scattered all over Japan. It is easy to eliminate them, but it is extremely difficult to find them.

-

The Twelve Demon Moons are the strongest elite among the demons transformed by the Demon King Muzan, and are divided into two ranges: Upper Moon and Lower Moon.

Each area is guarded by six ghosts.

Among them, the replacement of the Lower Moons is extremely common. Compared with ordinary demons, they are just more powerful.

However, the upper string is quite different.

Even the weakest upper-rank demon has the power to defeat six lower-rank demons on its own.

That's a completely different area.

Only the upper-rank demons are the true power of Demon King Muzan.

In Muzan's eyes, the Lower Moon Demons are just sturdy soldiers that can be seen occasionally.

Well, through the mission rewards we can see that this Muzan definitely starts at level 41.

After all, he is the final BOSS of this world.

Yuzhong Jin walked around the edge of the town and didn't sense any unusual aura.

Aura is the standard for judging any existence. Everyone's aura is different. Even blood relatives are only slightly closer.

Ghosts and humans are conceptually two different species.

Naturally, the atmosphere is also very different.

It's like mixing a glass of strong wine into the fragrant milk, it's very obvious.

There is no need for Yuzhongjin to set foot in a town without ghosts. Personally speaking, she doesn't like crowded places. However, it's not that she has social phobia, she just finds it troublesome.

After all, a woman as beautiful as her will definitely attract a lot of people's attention.

Hey, low profile, low profile.

"Ouch~"

Fu Fu felt that Yu Zhuan Jin was being conceited, but as a messenger of God, it was not easy for him to comment, so he could only call out to him casually.

"I understand Fu Fu, let's go to another place."

Yuzhong Jin knows how the stories of this world develop, but the problem is that she doesn't know where the stories take place, so she can only wander around.

Find a ghost or a ghost hunter, and you can easily intervene in the plot.

……

The journey of finding ghosts and ghost hunters is actually not a happy process.

Yuzhuanjin did not encounter any setbacks, but...

The village is located deep in the mountains and nowhere to be found. Although it is remote, it is not sparsely populated.

Everything should be as it should be.

But now there is only silence.

Bright red blood was dripping, and the bodies of countless villagers were scattered all over the village. Their desperate and fearful faces were deeply reflected in Yuzhong Jin's eyes.

Ghosts will choose to kill in order to become stronger and satisfy their appetite.

Therefore, wherever ghosts and ghost hunters appear, it is, without exception, a place of purgatory.

——The flames are blazing!

Yu Zhuanjin released fire to bury the place, which could also be considered as collecting the bodies. Then he asked Fu Fu to follow the unusual smell and find the location of the ghost.

The afternoon sun was also very bright. Yu Zhuanjin stopped in front of a cave deep in the mountains. She also felt the decayed smell in the cave.

Although the body stopped rotting because of the Ghost King's blood, the soul had already been polluted, from colorful chaos to twisted darkness.

Although he could cast a "spell" directly at the entrance of the cave and kill the weak ghost inside, Yu Zhongjin still went in.

The ghost in the dark was also excited to see the witch who "accidentally entered" the cave. He felt that if he swallowed her, he would gain great power.

Ghosts become more powerful by eating humans, and in the eyes of ghosts, humans are food. If they eat too much food, they will naturally feel bloated, so there are corpses in the village. It is not that ghosts are anorexic, but that they simply cannot eat.

Food is also divided into different grades.

Ordinary humans are just "rice", but the stronger ones can be considered meat.

In the eyes of ghosts, the best food is "rare blood".

That is a bloodline that only a very small number of humans possess. Although the specific reason is unknown, after a ghost devours a target, it can gain energy equivalent to dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of ordinary humans.

And it won’t cause any difficulty in digestion, saving time and effort.

Although Yu Zhuanjin has not yet studied "rare blood", she can roughly guess that it is the holder of spiritual power.

After all, there are ghosts that have not died for thousands of years, so there must be some born different. It’s just that they are not particularly shown in the original work, or it can be said that this world view is incomplete.

Ordinary Onmyojis and shrine maidens do not exist, not even monsters.

The Demon King Muzan was created "accidentally".

When she was less than ten meters away from the ghost, Yuzhongjin stopped her steps.

The ghost suddenly appeared and attacked Yuzhongjin directly.

boom!

Yuzhongjin raised his hand and grabbed the ghost's head, then leaned over and pressed its head to the ground.

A big hole was made in the ground.

-

[Real name: Kunkuntaro (N)]

【Level: 9】

-

"…After killing so many people, is this the only power you have left?"

Yuzhongjin said sarcastically out of anger and indifference.

"you you you……"

Kunkuntaro was suppressed by Yuzhongjin's powerful force and was unable to resist. His originally arrogant eyes turned into fear, and he couldn't even speak fluently.

"What a low energy conversion efficiency."

A golden light flashed in Yu Zhuanjin's hands, and divine power was slowly released.

——Exorcism!

“H-Hahhhhhhh!”

In less than three seconds, Kunkuntaro was completely purified by the divine power in Yuzhongjin's hands and turned into ashes.

This kind of low-level ghost is not worth interrogating. The Ghost King Muzan is a villain who is no less powerful than Naraku in "Inuyasha" and will not easily leave any clues that will be found.

Even this kind of ghost itself has not integrated into the group, but just keeps to itself.

Otherwise, they would not mindlessly hunt down an entire village of humans. This abnormal phenomenon can easily attract the attention of ghost hunters, who will then come to hunt and kill evil ghosts.

Anyone with a little bit of brains and common sense would occasionally kill a few and wait for them to be digested before continuing to act.

Obviously, Kun Kuntaro just now had no common sense.

Wherever there are ghosts, there will be constant killing. Ghosts kill humans, and ghost hunters kill ghosts.

This closed loop can only be broken by killing the Demon King Muzan.

"next."

After Yuzhongjin dealt with the ghost, he took Fu Fu to another place.

They need to stay in this world for at least twenty-six days.

That is about a month.
