=========
"Brother, you have your eye on this leather armor, right? It's only 20,000 Paradise Coins."
The stall owner, a contractor wearing leather armor himself, immediately recommended it when he saw Lin Jiu stop.
"Such cool leather armor, why don't you wear it yourself?"
Lin Jiu asked the stall owner.
"Isn't it meant for handsome guys like you to wear?"
The stall owner, a seasoned veteran, responded without any embarrassment.
"Good luck! Sell it well!"
Lin Jiu gave him a sympathetic look, encouraged him, and then prepared to leave.
"Wait, hold on, brother! How much will you offer?"
The stall owner was very familiar with that kind of look; many contractors had shown that same look after stopping for the leather armor's appearance.
"5000!"
"Deal!"
Lin Jiu paid 5000 Paradise Coins and obtained this divine piece of equipment. For him, it was divine; for the average contractor, leather armor didn't have a high defense, and this Hunter's Leather Armor had a ridiculously low defense. It was even inferior to an excellent white item.
What use was this equipment effect to them? If they encountered a creature, they would fight it on the spot if they could; even if the creature escaped, they wouldn't want to risk chasing it. As for those they couldn't defeat, chasing them would be suicidal.
But Lin Jiu was different; he was a hunter! For a hunter, the hardest part wasn't killing the violator but finding the violator!
This Hunter's Leather Armor was practically tailor-made for early-stage hunters. It wouldn't be useful later, as its principle was based on scent, and later opponents could mostly hide their scents. To record a scent, you had to wear the armor, and a single encounter would destroy or damage this green-quality armor!
...
"You've got to be kidding me, how could I end up in the Hunter x Hunter world? It's over, I'm done for. Who can form a temporary adventure team with me? I'm willing to offer all my belongings, 2000 Paradise Coins!"
After a female contractor shouted, the nearby contractors all gave her mocking looks.
Reincarnation Paradise had several high-risk derivative worlds like One Piece, Bleach, and Hunter x Hunter. Contractors entering these worlds mostly had no chance of survival.
The surrounding contractors showed no pity, some even sneering. Reincarnation Paradise was this cruel; apart from yourself, you couldn't rely on anyone unless you had a stable adventure team.
"How pitiful~"
Lin Jiu couldn't help but sigh with a hint of sympathy.
The contractor next to Lin Jiu gave him a strange look upon hearing his words, probably wondering how someone like him would die in the next world.
Lin Jiu despised these people who didn't help and didn't even show any sympathy.
He, a paragon of youth, disdained being with them. Although he had no intention of helping, at least he was willing to offer some verbal sympathy. Unlike them, completely devoid of humanity!
Indeed, with his excellent three views and looks, he was out of place in this environment!
"The guy who spoke doesn't seem to be from the Hunter x Hunter world, could he be mentally…"
"Very likely! Heaven forbid, better not encounter him!"
Lin Jiu, considering himself a paragon of youth, hadn't noticed that some contractors were already looking at him as if he were a Reincarnation Paradise specialty. His behavior just now, giving hope and then pushing someone off a cliff, made him seem like a twisted madman.
Lin Jiu also learned that the world he was going to this time was "Demon Slayer"!
[Time's up, derivative world: Demon Slayer opening, derivative world needs resetting, timeline refreshing, refresh complete, consumed 0.02 ounces of temporal power.]
[Due to consuming 0.02 ounces of temporal power, the contractor's minimum comprehensive rating in this world must reach C grade.]
Lin Jiu's eyes showed some seriousness; this meant he very likely had a task to clear violators. Fortunately, he had foresight and bought the Hunter's Leather Armor. Whether he could win or not, he had to ensure he could find the opponent!
In a daze, Lin Jiu was knocked unconscious and the world transfer began.
When consciousness returned and he awoke, he found himself on the street of a small village. This village was filled with low, flat houses, which was quite normal given that the setting of Demon Slayer was roughly in the Taisho era, around the early 1910s.
Looking at the light barrier restricting his movements also indicated that he needed to wait for five minutes.
Lin Jiu wasn't the only one here. Not far from him were more than a dozen people, and from their attire, it was clear that these were contractors.
Including Lin Jiu, there were a total of 20 people here. Among them were three adventure teams, two teams of five and one team of seven, while the other three were solo fighters, as could be seen from the light barriers restricting their movements.
Lin Jiu glanced around and thought that these were probably temporary adventure teams formed for mutual warmth. Temporary adventure teams were somewhat reliable, at least in derivative worlds they couldn't attack each other. However, there was a drawback: contractors could forcibly leave a temporary adventure team by paying a breach of contract fee of 10,000 Paradise Coins.
As the members of these adventure teams were about to say something, a few figures in a sorry state approached them. Due to being covered by the light barriers, these people couldn't see them.
Suddenly, a flash of blood and the people who were running away turned into corpses on the ground. A figure leisurely approached the corpse of a girl.
At this moment, everyone could see the figure. White ash-colored hair, multicolored eyes. His head seemed to be splattered with blood, and he wore an unconcerned smile as he stared at the dead girl, gently saying, "Lovely girl~ I allow your kind self to accompany me in eternal life!"
Everyone's faces turned grim, not just because this figure began devouring the girl's flesh and blood, but because of his identity.
"Why is the Upper Moon Two, Doma, of the Twelve Kizuki appearing here? What is happening in this world?"
The leader of the seven-member team of contractors turned pale.
Lin Jiu, seeing this familiar scene, a similar situation should be happening in Su Xiao's Tokyo Ghoul. Touching the Willow Shadow at his waist, Lin Jiu suddenly realized that he had always compared himself to Su Xiao, thinking he was much weaker in his own eyes.
Now he realized that in the eyes of normal contractors, he was no different from someone like Su Xiao, seen as a monstrous existence.
But that didn't matter. Lin Jiu still compared himself to Su Xiao, so he still felt weak. Sensing the power of Doma before they even stepped out, as he had expected, the combat power in the world of Demon Slayer was inferior to that in Tokyo Ghoul.
At lower levels, except for things like sunlight, Nichirin Blades, and Breathing Techniques, ordinary demons who could quickly heal their injuries might have some advantage over regular ghouls at night.
But any higher level was a different story. Regarding recovery abilities, both ghouls and demons healed by consuming humans, but ghouls were not inferior to demons and even had superior combat power, not fearing sunlight. Top-tier fighters in Tokyo Ghoul could probably sweep through the world of Demon Slayer without much problem.
Lin Jiu had guessed this before setting off. From the era's background, it seemed that the ghouls in Tokyo Ghoul almost controlled humanity, possessing a large number of advanced weapons. If Reincarnation Paradise's missions weren't so simple, he would even want to bring a UV light to see if it could harm demons.
Looking at the leaders, high-ranking ghouls could transform their forms, taking over humanity's upper echelons through mimicry, manipulating everything from behind the scenes.
Then look at the ultimate boss of Demon Slayer, Muzan Kibutsuji. He's stupid, arrogant, violent, and reckless, plus a coward.
Stupid: His demons are scattered everywhere, just waiting for the protagonist and the Demon Slayer Corps to come and grind for experience.
Arrogant: The whole world already knows you're the ultimate boss. Killing you ends everything, yet you still wander outside and even take a wife!
Violent: Brutal, often slaughtering several subordinates at whim. All demons fear him, and only due to benefits and bloodline do they not dare to betray him. Many wish for his death!
Reckless: Since he's tough and hard to kill, he just bullies through. So, in the end, despite heavy casualties, the protagonist's group manages to wear him down and kill him.
Cowardly: Look at the ghouls—seeing the rapid development of human weapons, they quickly became cowards, turning into behind-the-scenes manipulators. And you? You're just a simple coward, scared stiff by a mere earring!
Muzan Kibutsuji is truly a peculiar demon, able to combine the opposite traits of recklessness and cowardice into one!
Lin Jiu finally understood. From head to toe, this world was like a low-tier version of Tokyo Ghoul. So, wouldn't that make him a low-tier version of Su Xiao?
At this moment, contractors were looking fearfully at Doma. Without the protective light barrier, they would become his delicious meal. Especially the four female contractors, who were already trembling in fear!
