Chapter 7 "Ah, you win!" Even though his vocal cords were completely disconnected, Akaza, who had released his five senses destroyed state, could still make sounds by opening and closing his lips. He glanced at his headless body that was being stepped on by the other party, and the wounds on it were healing rapidly - the other party was not holding a Sun Blade, so even if his head was chopped off it would have no effect. If the fight continues to last longer, there is no doubt that he will be the one who survives to the end! But this assumption makes no sense! In this head-on and protracted battle, since Su Beixun was able to chop off his head, Akaza was willing to admit that the opponent was indeed stronger! and so…… "Become a ghost, kid!" Akaza urged on, becoming more and more impatient. "This way, your broken body can be restored to its original state immediately!" "And without the limitations of lifespan and body, we can fight each other countless times in the future! Countless times!!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!" Su Beixun looked at Akaza's head in his hand, paused for a moment, put it back on his neck, and smiled: "Okay." The broken skin and flesh healed completely within 20 seconds! There was even no hindrance when shaking the neck! Akaza jumped up from the ground, stretched out his hand, and stabbed the other person's neck with his nails that had suddenly grown longer! Seeing that the child was still calm and peaceful, without the slightest bit of surprise in his eyes, he grinned once again: "I like you! Su Beixun! I like you very much!" An extremely viscous liquid that even has the texture of petroleum began to spread through the blood vessels in the neck and into the body! It does not dissolve in the blood and is clearly separated from the indigenous inhabitants in the body! Su Beixun could even feel that the two liquids of different densities were squeezing and repelling each other! The damaged capillaries made his skin red. ——This is Muzan’s blood! The source of all demons in this world is Muzan Kibutsuji, and the difference between the [Upper Ranks] and other demons lies in the amount of Muzan's blood in their bodies! It is precisely because they possess a large amount of Muzan's blood that they can separate a portion of their own blood and thus achieve the effect of transforming people into demons. …… In the quaint courtyard, a handsome man crushed the teacup in his hand. "…Did Akaza fail as well?" Muzan, who "watched" the battle in Tokyo Prefecture, had a sinister look in his eyes. But then, his ferocious expression slowly relaxed. Although the child has great potential, once his blood is accepted, all threats will be eliminated. Muzan was not angry that Akaza gave his blood to others without permission - this was one of the privileges of the Upper Ranks. Moreover, he could also gain a powerful subordinate, which was a hundred benefits without any harm! At least... before finding the [Blue Higanbana], Muzan was happy with this. …… Pain! Heat! Numbness! Itching! The process of transforming from a human into a ghost is definitely not that comfortable! Su Beixun felt that every muscle was being dissolved by the boiling blood! His organs were being eaten! His hard bones were too soft to support his body! Negative emotions kept pouring out! Just like a Pandora's box stuffed into the head, the bad side of the soul of intelligent life was completely turned out! All the painful experiences in the memory are clearly magnified, and even a slight careless neglect will be distorted into murderous rage! But it doesn’t matter, Su Beixun doesn’t have many positive emotions.
"How does it feel?" Akaza looked at the child who opened his eyes excitedly. The other person's appearance did not change drastically, only the nails on his ten fingers became sharper and his skin became paler...but his pupils were so red that they seemed to bleed with every blink! "I'm very hungry." Su Beixun licked his lips. He held down his tattered coat, feeling the acid in his body hitting his stomach walls, as if it was trying to digest him, and his empty throat kept rolling. "Very normal!" Akaza was not surprised. Seeing that he did not lose his will after becoming a demon, he felt relieved. He looked up at the moon moving towards the west, took a big step, and disappeared in a flash in the rising dust. Only a voice slowly floated over: "I have to go and apologize to Master Muzan first... There is still some time before dawn, so you should figure it out on your own!" Su Beixun narrowed his eyes and watched the other person's back as he stomped and jumped on the roof. After becoming a ghost, his physical fitness and dynamic vision had a qualitative leap. "Pity." He murmured. If he didn't have the Nichirin Sword in his hand, he wouldn't mind leaving Akaza here forever! Retracting his gaze, Su Beixun looked to the remote lower corner on the left. Now that he had become a ghost, what he had to do now was to cut off the connection with Muzan! "Reality?" Su Beixun narrowed his eyes. Things have come to this, no matter how great the cost, this is the choice he must make! The flying [reality] glows faintly. In just a moment, countless bright points of light like meteors came from all directions! The world gradually became abstract and quickly materialized in his eyes! Everything in the world was collapsing rapidly with him as the center! Then slowly...it was folded into a huge group of building blocks! Su Beixun stared at these things subconsciously—— Sky, earth, objects, life... The deep concepts that make up the world revealed their truest selves in front of him! As his sight moved, he instantly understood the meaning of each part! He stretched out his hand in a trance, and the stable group of building blocks suddenly trembled slightly. ——Under the influence of [reality], everything can move and reorganize according to Su Beixun's thoughts, and then become something completely different. The ghost eater, the gravity from bottom to top, the schools of fish floating in the air...it seems that as long as he is willing, there is nothing he can't do! Su Beixun couldn't help but indulge in this beautiful scenery! He reached out and pinched a building block, but the difficulty of twitching and the sudden palpitation made him come back to his senses immediately! "The so-called... price..." Su Beixun frowned. He has always been a greedy and unsatisfied person. When he sees something he wants more, how could he not do everything he can to get it? But the warning of the impending explosion of [Disaster] told him - not yet! Su Beixun suppressed his desire deep in his heart and stopped thinking about these trivial things. He reached out and touched the part he really needed. The intensity of the warning suddenly became much smaller! With a faint crackling sound, his invisible connection with Muzan Kibutsuji was suddenly severed! In an instant, the shackles that bound the demon cells further disappeared without a trace, and its stable form began to change again! Freer, stronger, more aggressive! Perhaps, this is the true attitude of a demon. It's just that Muzan Kibutsuji didn't want others to be equal to him, so he issued a restriction. Su Beixun clenched his fist with satisfaction. Just by simply loosening his grip, a faint sound of explosion was heard.
He thought about it, and for the sake of being more conducive to the [World Goal], he used [reality] to create the illusion that Muzan could still control him. After doing all this, Su Beixun reluctantly let go of her hand. The building blocks in front of me collapsed! Each piece flew to a different position and then expanded into a real world in an instant. "It's so magnificent!" Su Beixun exclaimed in admiration. The growing desire to crack it almost drove him crazy. But he knew that everything had to be done slowly! Coming back to his senses, he carefully sensed his body...but to his surprise, he didn't find anything wrong! I don't know where the price that should have been paid was paid? ! Su Beixun frowned, but after checking carefully twice, the results were exactly the same! "interesting." His scarlet pupils narrowed slightly, he casually threw down the broken knife still in his hand, and walked out of the house barefoot, stepping on the collapsed outer wall. He doesn't like the unknown, but he has an inexplicable passion for exploring secrets - a mystery that arouses his interest, and he looks forward to how pleasantly surprised he will be when the answer is revealed! The night is already deep. Even though there are still a few vendors and lights on the streets, the number of people has dropped drastically compared to before. He looked at the drunkard in the alley, his throat moving, and then he looked away in disgust. The battle with Akaza and his empty body after becoming a demon kept urging him to go, but he never changed direction. Su Beixun did not attract anyone's attention, and even when he entered the hotel, he made a point not to wake up the sleepy waiter. Before he entered the room, he heard some friction sounds and hesitant shouts behind the door. After pushing the door open, as expected - Kamado Takeo and Kamado Hanako were both awake! They leaned back to back, groping each other's wrists, trying to untie all the ropes. But as Su Beixun entered, their bodies suddenly froze. At the critical moment, Takeo Kamado fully played the role of an older brother. Even though he was trembling with fear because of the strange aura of the person in front of him, he still blocked his sister behind him. "Uh! Uh-huh!" Su Beixun looked down at the child kneeling on the ground with an expressionless face - his mouth was blocked by cotton cloth and he could only make unclear sounds. But it's not hard to guess. They just want to ask boring questions like "Who are you" or "Why are you arresting us?" Su Beixun didn't have the heart to explain! The moment he stepped into the room, a strong fragrance kept shaking his reason. So hungry... So hungry... So hungry... But Su Beixun ignored it! He picked up a child in one hand, jumped out of the window, and jumped lightly on the roof. Can be sudden. He paused and suddenly stopped on the eaves.
After thinking for a while, he broke into another room, knocked out four men of the same age, and dragged them away. Before the night faded, Su Beixun crossed the bustling central area, found another abandoned wooden house far away from the previous battle zone, and ducked inside. ——It was almost dawn, and he could only stay in Tokyo Prefecture for one more day. The two children looked at the dilapidated environment with horror. Su Beixun threw them to the ground, pierced the necks of three of the four men with his sharp nails, and injected an equal amount of his own blood into them. After severing his connection with Muzan Kibutsuji, he became the new demon king of the world. He can also infect humans with his blood and absorb their abilities. Soon, after a burst of twitching and roaring, the three men opened their blood-red eyes. They drooled and pounced fiercely on the remaining humans in the room. Su Beixun coldly stepped on their hands and feet and then threw the last man to one of the evil ghosts. Then he took out two [Blue Red Spider Lily] and threw them to the evil ghost that ate the human and one of the evil ghosts that did not eat the human. Su Beixun gave them numbers one by one. Number One, ate a human and a red spider lily. Number two did not eat humans, but only ate a red spider lily. Number three, got nothing to eat. After doing all this, he pulled out a relatively intact wooden chair and sat on it steadily. The moon in the sky is getting fainter and fainter, and the white light of the sky is spreading inch by inch from the east. The bright sunshine dispels the darkness and brings vitality to every life equally. soon! The sunlight reached the cabin. Su Beixun looked at the beam of light that shone through the gap in the roof and projected onto the ground, and he let out a sigh of relief. He stretched out his hand, and slowly and firmly scooped up the light with it. …… pain! It hurts! It feels more like being corroded than being burned! The skin on his hands slowly burned into charcoal, which fell off and floated into the sky, and the flesh underneath slowly vaporized in the sunlight. The white bones turned black as they rotted, emitting a foul odor. About five minutes later, all the limbs exposed to the sunlight disappeared, and even the flesh and blood at the cross-section kept wriggling, and even the regeneration speed was affected. Su Beixun's eyes were filled with gloom! After his wrist recovered, he grabbed three men and threw them into the light column one by one. No. 23 lasted 22 seconds in the sunlight, and No. lasted seconds in the sunlight. Excluding slight individual differences, the data are basically consistent. There was only number three, and he turned into ashes in less than ten seconds! Su Beixun stretched out his hand to sweep away the black ashes floating in the air and made a note of the conclusion in his mind.
It seems that [Blue Spider Lily] is indeed useful in overcoming sunlight, but the effect does not seem to be strong if eaten raw. that…… How did Nezuko do it? Did she have to combine with the blood of the Sun Breathing? His scarlet pupils greedily swept over the two children huddled in a corner. Su Beixun stretched out his sharp nails that were still covered in blood and stabbed them into the trembling neck of Kamado Hanako! "Wow wow wow!" As the blood was injected, veins bulged on the girl's slender body. She rolled back and forth on the ground in pain, her pale face causing people to feel pity. But Su Beixun just watched indifferently and kicked her aside when she was about to roll into the blood. After a while. The rope broke. Kamado Hanako's eyes were red, and she howled as she threw herself towards the pool of blood left by the man on the ground, grabbing a little and trying to put it into her mouth. But Su Beixun stepped on her neck and nailed her to the ground. He didn't intend to let Hanako Kamado eat any flesh and blood - even though previous experiments had shown that eating humans didn't seem to have any effect, but he wanted to completely replicate Nezuko's behavior on her. Hanako Kamado's slender neck was almost flattened by being stepped on, but she was still struggling with her teeth and claws bared, trying to gnaw on the remaining bones in the room. ——Her willpower is obviously not up to par. "so troublesome." Su Beixun looked down at Kamado Hanako who was scratching her ankle and whose skin was shaken open. He bent down and reached out his hand, throwing her directly into the sunlight. "Ahhhhh!!" Hanako Kamado let out a shrill scream, and her body also decomposed bit by bit in the sunlight. one second. two seconds. Su Beixun narrowed his eyes and counted the time silently in his mind. At the tenth minute, he suddenly grabbed Kamado Hanako's ankle and dragged her out of the sunlight. The girl's arms that were shielding her from the sun had completely disappeared, the blood-red flesh on her torso had turned black and carbonized, and her internal organs could vaguely be seen exposed from her chest. But Su Beixun knew that she was still alive! Compared with the previous three people, the time she can last in the sun has been greatly increased! Is it because of long-term consumption of red spider lilies? Or is it the uniqueness of the Kamado family's bloodline? He took out the books and equipment he got from Tamayo, and regardless of the current poor experimental environment, he took out a small amount of blood from Takeo Kamado and Hanako Kamado and began to observe it. Human blood is composed of blood cells and plasma. Blood cells include red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Su Beixun discovered easily that although the cell structures of the two of them were very different, in addition to what a normal human should have in their blood, there was an extra type of cell that shouldn't exist! He then took out his own blood and compared it with the juice of the Blue Spider Lily, but did not find anything similar in it. "Is this the special thing about Kamado family blood?"
Su Beixun frowned. In this day and age, it is simply impossible to extract these cells and transform themselves so that they can also produce spontaneously. The so-called talent [learning] can only be used to quickly bring oneself up to the same level as the person who teaches. If one wants to promote the development of medicine on his own, then he can only do it in his dreams. He looked down at Hanako Kamado who was slowly healing, and his mood became even worse. Why can’t we be completely immune? "...Does it also require a kind soul?" Su Beixun's face was gloomy. He looked at Hanako Kamado, whose ferocious face was full of blood and thirst, and it was obvious that she was not kind. Considering that most ghosts turn good again after death, as well as the existence of souls and reincarnation in this world, this guess seems reasonable. ——No wonder no ghost that can overcome the sunlight has appeared in such a long time! [Blue Blossom] + [Kamado blood] + [Pure and kind soul]... He lowered his head and scratched his neck with his sharp nails in annoyance. If nothing else, he didn't think his soul met the requirements! Su Beixun looked at the narrow space around him and his nails grew unnaturally fast! In such a big world, he can only stay in this place of less than 50 square meters, and even has to avoid the sunlight coming in through the holes. [Really...are you kidding me?! ] The dilapidated house seemed to sense its owner's mood and creaked in fear. The free air seemed to huddle into a ball, making it difficult to breathe! Su Beixun took a deep breath and calmed down. [There is no other way, I can only cultivate a ghost that can overcome the sunlight, and then absorb it! ] He glanced at Hanako Kamado who was still healing, then turned his head to stare at Takeo Kamado who was pale and almost fainted from fear. Even if he is not immune to sunlight, he still wants the blood of the Kamado family to extend the time he can last in the sun! If the scientific approach doesn't work, why not try a method that is more in line with this world? ——Do you want to eat him? Su Beixun asked himself. There is no doubt about the answer! Although they were both human beings a day ago, Su Beixun never had a mental obsession with cleanliness! To be more thorough, since the last world, he believed that he was at a higher level and was completely different from others! If it can make you stronger, why not eat it? ——This is not a constraint imposed on him by others, but a desire from his heart! correct-- He can still survive without eating humans, and he can still become strong through exercise... But why should he impose restrictions on himself and force himself to be bound by his own hands and feet? Living in this world, everyone wants many things, big or small, good or bad. Maybe it's a snowman you want to kick down on the side of the road, or maybe it's an enemy you hate so much that you want to kill him. Thoughts, whether short-lived or long-lasting, constitute the various desires of living things, and these desires constitute the so-called self. In Su Beixun's view, so-called freedom is to follow your desires! Just indulge yourself!
Eat when you want to eat, drink water when you want to drink water, don't care about anything when you want to ignore it, and turn the world upside down when you want to prove yourself! He didn't eat before because his desire to overcome the sunlight was greater than his desire to eat! And now, since it doesn't matter whether he eats people or not - then why doesn't he eat Takeo Kamado? Maybe this is a new idea that came into being after becoming a ghost...but what does it matter? He is a ghost now! This was his new self! New instincts! New desires! Take out a few test tubes and store a lot of the other person's blood. Su Beixun could no longer endure the surging desire. After licking his teeth which had become slightly sharp, he reached out and grabbed Takeo Kamado's hair, pulled it back, and bit it! “Ugh… wuwuwu!” Kamado Takeo kicked his legs wildly in pain, tears welling up in his eyes! This unbearable sense of horror made his temples swell, and his tongue, which tried to stick out, accidentally poked the cotton cloth out. But before he could scream for help, Su Beixun instantly pinched his mouth with his hands and pressed his head to the ground frantically! The warm blood slides down the throat into the unsatisfied stomach! This wasn't the first time he tasted blood, but it was definitely the first time he became addicted to it! The original fishy smell became smooth and refreshing under the ghost's unique taste. And as it is digested and broken down, a warm energy flows into the limbs and is quickly absorbed by the hungry cells. Then grow bigger! The feeling of becoming stronger quickly is so intoxicating! A sense of satisfaction and brutality rose up at the same time, urging him to ravage and prey more! This is a more deep-rooted addiction than white powder! ——Because in addition to spiritual joy, the improvement of physical body and strength is also real! For ordinary ghosts, once they devour humans, it is like falling into a dark bottomless pit. As they sink deeper and deeper, their human emotions and memories will gradually fade, until they completely change into another personality! This is hard to resist even if it is clear! The so-called fall is like a rolling stone on a mountain. Only a hero like Sisyphus can endure the hellish torture and push it back to the top of the mountain. ——Just like Tamayo in the past. But for Su Beixun, these things have no effect at all! Only a kind-hearted person would have his temperament changed drastically after becoming a ghost because of cannibalism. For a guy like him who is already in the abyss of hell, these sins are of no concern at all! Takeo Kamado, who was twitching violently, gradually became silent. The sticky blood seeped into the cracks in the wooden boards and continued to spread along the grain, sending the bloody smell to extremely distant places. In the deep dark night, moonlight poured in from the window, casting specks of pale light on the floor. Su Beixun wiped the corners of his mouth with satisfaction and stood up straight on the ground. He couldn't wait to reach out his hand again! Under the scorching sun, it took thirteen minutes for his wrist to completely turn into ashes! Su Beixun grinned. Sure enough, when betting on probability, he is always on the winning side! So fierce! After recovering, Hanako Kamado threw herself at the remaining debris on the ground, but Su Beixun stepped on her neck again, causing her to fall into a coma due to lack of oxygen. What should I do now? Su Beixun's eyes were deep. Nezuko was able to find herself again thanks to her deep brother-sister relationship with Tanjiro. Su Beixun doesn't think he has such a big influence on Kamado Hanako! ——Hatred can only lead to hatred, and affection can bring about kindness. Su Beixun glanced at the sun still hanging in the center, suppressed his thoughts, sat back in his chair, and idly flipped through Zhu Shi's medical book. He had to divert his attention to keep himself sane in this restlessness.
One month! Su Beixun made up his mind secretly! If he couldn't solve the problem of sunlight within a month, he would rather pay an unknown price to rewrite it with [reality]! The sun is gradually going west. After Su Beixun crushed countless pieces of wood, it finally got dark again. He immediately kicked the wall to pieces, picked up Kamado Hanako and rushed out of the wooden house! The fresh wind drove away the dull smell on his body, and he rushed around on the deserted street as if to vent his anger! After identifying the direction, Su Beixun returned to the deep mountains where he picked blue flowers of the other shore. The benefits of becoming a ghost were fully demonstrated in this process! It seemed that the physical strength would never be exhausted, and the speed was much faster than that of a carriage! After finding the location of Zaomen's house, Su Beixun sneaked in again and stole a child out. The unconscious Hanako Kamado smelled the scent and was ready to make a move, but was immediately stabbed again by him. This is not the place! Su Beixun now needs a place to stay that is shielded from the sun and a place where he can temporarily settle down. No matter how he thinks about it, the exposed mountains are not a good choice. He randomly chose a direction and when the moon was still clear, Su Beixun was lucky enough to find a medium-sized village as usual. He stepped in and came to the most imposing house in the village and climbed over the wall. There was no sound in the dark night, and no one knew what was going on inside. but…… Judging from the situation after dawn the next day, everything seemed calm? ## The days passed like this. And one day. Ubuyashiki Yoya, whose condition was getting worse in the Demon Slayer Corps, suddenly summoned Rengoku Gojuro, who was the "Flame Pillar" at the time. "Lord." The middle-aged man with a scruffy beard and a depressed face knelt on one knee and forced himself to greet his lord, who was much younger than him. "No need to be so reserved." Ubuyashiki Yoya extended his hand and invited him to come up and take a seat: "Compared to me, Mr. Rengoku is the one who deserves more respect." Rengoku Fujuro forced a smile and said, "My Lord, you suddenly asked me to come here. Is there an evil spirit that needs to be eradicated?" Ubuyashiki Yoya shook his head slightly. "No! No matter what happens, I think taking care of his wife is the most important thing for Mr. Purgatory right now... I won't let other things bother you." Rengoku Fujuro looked at his always gentle master, and was moved but also a little confused: "What are you doing?" Ubuyashiki Yoya hesitated for a moment, pursed his lips and finally spoke softly. "Recently, in the [Anbu] that is searching all over the country for news about evil spirits, I heard a rumor like this—" "In an area north of a certain mountain, there is a doctor who can cure any disease." "Whether it's fever or poisoning, or any other difficult and complicated disease, he can bring the patient back to health, or at the very least, save his life."
He said in a gentle voice: "I have asked the members of the [Hidden Department] to investigate, and they did not find any problems." Rengoku Gojuro understood what Ubuyashiki Yoya meant, and when he thought of his wife lying on the hospital bed, dying, his breathing became faster. "My Lord! Where is this village now?!" "Please don't worry, Mr. Purgatory." Ubuyashiki Yoya comforted him, "I called you here specifically for this matter... But before I tell you the location, there are some things I think you must know!" Rengoku Fujuro suppressed his anxious mood and pretended to listen attentively. "Although the [Hidden Department] did not find any traces of evil spirits, according to the investigation, the doctor is really very strange!" Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's expression was serious: "He never asks for money for treatment, but requires that anyone who accepts his treatment must work for him for a month to repay him." "And within this month, he cannot step out of the village. And no matter how we invite him, he says he wants to spend the rest of his life in the village and doesn't consider leaving again." “Also, because the doctor came to the village 20 days ago, no patient has managed to come out so far.” Rengoku Fujuro frowned immediately: "My Lord, I am not doubting the investigation of the [Anbu]...but are they really sure that the other party is a human?" These situations have nothing to do with humans at all! "That should be correct." Ubuyashiki Kazuya nodded: "Many people have seen that doctor during the day, so this should be true." Rengoku Fujuro pondered for a moment, and finally decided: "I must go!" "I knew it." Ubuyashiki Yoya smiled gently, "Madam, please ask the [Inubu] to help with the transportation. In addition, there will be some swordsmen lying in ambush outside the village, just in case." Facing Rengoku Gojuro's moved gaze, Ubuyashiki Yoya said solemnly: "No matter what, please be careful!"
