Bab 57: 57
Chapter 57 Assembly Chapter 57 Assembly:
Muzan Kibutsuji sat quietly in a chair. The bright electric light dispelled the shadows around him and illuminated the entire room as if it were daytime.
He likes this kind of light, which brings brightness without hurting himself.
In the hands of Muzan Kibutsuji, there is an old collection of Warring States poetry. The pages are slightly yellowed, revealing the vicissitudes of time.
This is how Muzan Kibutsuji spends his daily life quietly in human society.
He likes to appear as an ordinary person and integrate into this complex and changing world.
Muzan Kibutsuji was not in a relaxed mood. The poetry collection in his hand had not been turned for a long time. He felt inexplicably irritated, as if something was happening quietly, but he could not figure out the specific reason.
Just as he was about to turn to the next page of the collection of Warring States poetry in his hand, the thumb of Muzan Kibutsuji's right hand trembled slightly.
Muzan Kibutsuji turned his head towards the direction of Taiko County, his brows tightly furrowed. It would be fine if the waning moon died, but how come even the waxing moon had problems?
He extracted Jifutaro's last memory, wanting to understand what had happened.
Under the gaze of Muzan Kibutsuji, the memories of Jifutaro before his death played out like a movie, with every detail clearly visible.
After reading, Muzan Kibutsuji put down the book in his hand, and his fingers tapped on the table unconsciously, which was his habitual action when thinking.
Lin Yi's appearance made Muzan Kibutsuji see the shadow of Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
This made Muzan Kibutsuji recall the memories of hiding in a cave in the wild and living a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood.
That was the darkest and most humiliating time in Muzan Kibutsuji's life. At that time, Muzan Kibutsuji didn't even dare to set foot in the town.
He could only survive in the wilderness like a wounded beast, fearing that Ji Guoyuan would suddenly appear and destroy him completely.
For Muzan Kibutsuji, that memory is an eternal pain.
A hint of cruelty flashed in Muzan Kibutsuji's eyes, and he conveyed an urgent summons to the Waxing Moons through their blood connection.
Feeling his call, powerful waxing moons such as Akaza, Hantengu, and Tamahyou came from different directions. Their figures quickly shuttled through the night, carrying a solemn and murderous aura, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.
Muzan Kibutsuji stood by the window, overlooking the night outside.
His state of mind has changed, and Muzan Kibutsuji is no longer prepared to continue playing the cat-and-mouse game with the Demon Slayer Corps.
He was ready to take action to let the Demon Slayer Corps understand what kind of existence they were facing.
While planning, Yun Xi's figure suddenly appeared in Muzan Kibutsuji's mind.
It seems that everything the woman who had just joined the ghost clan had said had come true one by one.
Muzan Kibutsuji realized that Yun Xi might be able to play an unexpected role in his plan.
So, he decided to give Yun Xi a chance, a chance to prove his worth.
Muzan Kibutsuji is preparing to promote Yun Xi to the rank of Upper Six to fill the vacancy left by the death of Kibutaro.
"Ms. Shinobu, why are you collecting these ashes?" After completing the maintenance of the black and white rose, Lin Yi found that Shinobu Kocho was squatting on the ground and taking out a small brush to collect the remains of the dead evil spirits on the ground.
Hearing Lin Yi's voice, Shinobu Kocho raised her head and explained with a smile: "This is what Miss Tamayo requested. The potion you used before was made from the remains of evil spirits."
The relics of the upper-rank demons have immeasurable research value for researchers like Tamayo.
Because among all the evil spirits, the concentration of the waxing moon's demon blood is the highest, and it is the closest to Muzan Kibutsuji.
In comparison, although the waning moon is also one of the Twelve Demon Moons, the concentration of demon blood in the waning moon is much inferior and cannot be compared with the waxing moon at all.
This difference is particularly evident in their remains after death.
The remains of the dead lower-rank ghosts, although darker in color than those of ordinary ghosts, are not much different overall.
However, the remains of the dead upper-rank demons are a different story.
Their surface is not only deep black, but also faintly reveals a hint of blood red.
The interweaving of blood red and black seems to be telling of the power and cruelty of the upper-rank demons in their lifetime.
"Let me help." Seeing this, Lin Yi offered to assist.
Lin Yi has a deeper understanding of the power of medicine than anyone else.
Without the help of the potion, even if Lin Yi could finally defeat Jifutaro, it would not be so easy.
However, the production of [Bloodline Inhibitor] is extremely difficult. To make this kind of potion, evil ghosts at the level of the Twelve Demon Moons must be used as raw materials. Materials from ordinary ghosts simply cannot meet the requirements.
This is also the reason why the Demon Slayer Corps rarely uses this potion. There is no other way. Ordinary evil spirits cannot use it, and if they use it during the waxing moon, they will die. Over time, everyone has regarded it as useless.
As the light in the sky gradually brightened, the hustle and bustle of Taikoo City gradually awakened.
The city in the early morning seemed to have washed away the silence of the night. The vendors began to busily set up their morning stalls. Smoke rose from the kitchen and the air was filled with the tempting aroma of various foods, stimulating people's taste buds.
The slums have also regained their vitality. Despite the hard life, the lower-class people still hold on to hope and begin to get busy preparing for the new day.
They greeted each other, talked about trivial matters in life, and their faces were filled with tenacious and optimistic smiles.
On this quiet morning, no one knew what had happened in the dilapidated mansion last night.
Lin Yi and Shinobu Kocho arrived at Tamayo's clinic with the collected ashes.
Lin Yi knocked on the door twice gently, and soon a voice came from inside.
Yushiro opened the door and had a complicated expression when he saw the two of them. He pursed his lips and seemed to want to say something, but finally turned around and shouted into the house to inform Tamayo and the others of their arrival.
Tamayo walked out of the house with a gentle smile on her face, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.
She looked at Lin Yi and Kocho Shinobu and asked with concern, "Welcome back. How was it? Was there any danger on this trip?"
Shinobu Kocho smiled and didn't explain much.
She pulled out the wooden box of ashes from the sleeve of her kimono, handed it to Tamayo and said, "Here, these are the materials we collected. They should be able to make a lot of new medicines."
"Thank you for the trouble. I've been worried about the lack of materials recently. Your help is really a timely help." Tamayo looked at the wooden box handed over by Shinobu Kocho with gratitude. For the experimenters, the biggest worry is that there are not enough raw materials to carry out research.
