Chapter 197 - Zhu Shi’s Determination, Answer Me, No Misfortune

…

It’s about a full day’s journey from Saagiri Mountain for normal people.

The peaks on both sides rise high, forming a canyon.

The members of the Demon Slayer Corps are setting up camp here and resting in place.

Slowly fireworks floated out from the bonfire and swayed in the sky.

"...It's already getting dark soon." Shuiwu Yuebai glanced at the dusk sky with some worry, and his tone sounded very sad:

"Aren't you going to set off yet?"

Starting at noon and resting until now, these Demon Slayer members who have been mentally prepared feel a bit tortured.

Now let them go up and kill the enemy immediately, and they will feel better than now.

"Don't be impatient." Iwami Inkstone gently patted Suizuki Shiro's shoulder. The heavy strength made Shiro feel at ease instantly.

Minami Yuebai slowly lowered his head and sighed deeply.

"Did the plan change?"

Kazama Chengya held a grass leaf in his mouth. He spoke vaguely, turned his head and glanced at Shangquan Nai, who was staring at a certain direction on the top of the mountain:

"...I've been there...looking at it all day..."

My wife, Shancun, hugged her own Lei Qie and leaned against a wooden stake nearby. He looked in the direction of Mount Samagiri in a daze.

On the top of the mountain beside.

Shang Quanna stared closely at the direction of Infinite City. In his perception, Takehara was in Infinite City without moving at all.

He communicated with Ubuyashiki Sukeyo through the tiger's eye, and finally the two came up with an immediate plan.

Stand still.

wait.

At the same time, Ubuyashiki Sukeyo also began to prepare defensive plans.

at this time.

Suddenly, Shang Quanna frowned tightly, and he looked in the direction of Edo City in the distance again.

——Takehara's aura...disappeared.

That is to say…

Infinite City has changed its location!

Shang Quanna quickly closed his eyes and sensed Takehara's position from his own bloodline.

That guy...as expected!

He turned around and glanced at Ji Guoyuan behind him.

They both nodded at the same time.

Shang Quanna turned sideways and lay on the cliff, looking at the Demon Slayer swordsmen who were resting in the canyon at the camp. He shouted quickly:

——"Everyone!!"

"Immediately! Move forward with all your strength towards Saagiri Mountain!"

…

…

Time passes slowly.

In the infinite city.

"Wuxian, do you know where the flowers on the other side of the blue are exactly?"

Takehara observed the barrier outside Mount Saagiri through his remaining eyeball.

Since those people left at noon, no one else has returned to the barrier.

Only people who continue to go out one after another are eliminated, and the possibility of someone coming back to report the news is eliminated.

After observing for so long, he discovered a problem.

Mount Saagiri covers a vast area, and it seems too difficult to find a flower in such a place in a short period of time.

Takehara withdrew the blood vessel tentacles that were resting on the ground. He turned his head and looked at the large red eggs piled up under the giant blood vessel tree.

Wumei slightly controlled the dominance of his body, and his lazy tone revealed the slightest trace of nervousness:

"The smell of that flower...I will never forget it."

Thinking of the fragrance of the blue Higan flower, Wu Mei's consciousness even caused Takehara's body to tremble with excitement for a while.

"Don't worry, I can sense the location of those flowers the moment I enter there..."

Wuxian said, his tone gradually became lower and he narrowed his eyes.

"He will never destroy those flowers. He is just like me..."

Behind him, Muzan muttered to himself a lot, but Takehara didn't pay attention.

…

Until the moment when the sun slowly sets and turns into darkness at dusk.

"it's time."

Takehara opened his eyes, and he instantly turned his head to look at Naruto sitting under the giant tree with blood vessels, and controlled Naruto's movements through his blood vessels.

"Oh..." Naruto, who had her head hanging down, raised her head instantly. Her long black hair hung down messily, filling the space under her body.

The hoarse voice roared feebly. At this moment, Narume was just a living corpse.

Her consciousness had long been eaten away by Wuhan.

The purple-blue skin looked very strange, and Naru's fingers touched the strings tremblingly.

"Dang Cang——!"

The loud sound of pipa echoed in Infinite City.

next moment.

Takehara on the treetops disappeared.

…

outside world.

In front of the Samagiri Mountain barrier.

Uh-huh!

Snap.

Takehara was wearing a black cloak that covered his whole body, and he quietly appeared in a small cave somewhere.

In the dark cave, only the entrance slowly glowed with a faint red light.

Due to the ingenious geographical location, the exit of this cave was blocked by the fallen barrier.

After the barrier, there is Mount Samagiri.

And the Infinite City is now deep underground at the feet of Takehara.

This is to facilitate the evacuation later and to conceal the plan after the evacuation.

You have to move quickly and be stealthy.

I took the blue Hibiscus flower and left.

After thinking briefly, Takehara reached out and pulled the hood of the cloak on his head, covering the upper half of his face.

He walked to the side of the barrier and stretched out a hand to press on the barrier.

"Bah——!"

As Wu Mei's blood overflowed from his palm, the barrier was suddenly corroded and a hole opened.

White smoke slowly rose, Takehara opened the barrier and walked in.

…

After crossing the barrier, there is a completely different place behind the barrier.

There is a street not far away, and the end of the street leads to the climbing point of Mt. Saagiri.

It was just after dusk, but the streets were eerily quiet and deserted. Only the echoing barking of dogs made people feel alive.

There was no trace of human presence in the quiet town, and Takehara frowned slightly.

——Is it because the scent of ghosts is too strong?

Yes, almost everywhere in this enchantment is filled with a strong aura belonging to ghosts, but it is different from the fishy smell of blood of ordinary ghosts.

The smell of ghosts here...seems to have a floral scent?

"Wumei." Takehara gently called Wumei's name. He stood in the barrier and observed keenly:

"Which direction is the blue Higan flower?"

Snap, snap.

Walk out of the cave and walk quickly along the built wall to the street.

It seemed that because of Wu Mei, Takehara felt that his heartbeat was extremely fast at this moment, much faster than before.

Sniff.

Wu Mei controlled his body and smelled the smell in the air. Following the perception of his cells, he reached out and pointed in a direction, his voice trembling with excitement:

"To the north, near the torii gate."

Takehara took over control of his body and looked in the direction of his fingers.

He suddenly discovered that the location of Wu Mei Zhi was at the end of the street in front of him.

"...It's very close. Once you get it, leave."

Knees slightly bent.

Whoosh!

He quickly slid forward and sprinted towards the ground!

Takehara crossed the street in an instant, but he still couldn't sense any human breath in the residential houses on both sides.

Although the aura of ghosts here is strong, but it is so close, as long as there are people living inside, they should be able to sense it...

This made Takehara feel a little uncomfortable.

They had zero knowledge of the situation inside Samagiri Mountain before, and had no idea what was going on inside.

When he came in for the first time, Takehara couldn't figure out for a while whether this situation was normal or abnormal, and he couldn't tell how far the situation had developed.

But at this moment, with the cyan Hibiscus flower so close at hand, he didn't allow him to think too much.

Their current mission is to quickly seize the blue Hibiscus flower!

Takehara thought of this, his eyes became sharp, and the speed of his feet suddenly increased!

"Stop!" Wu Mei suddenly shouted in his mind!

boom!

Caught off guard, Takehara subconsciously stepped on the ground. The gravel suddenly lifted up, and a huge sound was heard.

…

Saagiri Mountain.

Mountainside Shrine.

"Miko-sama, what happened suddenly...?"

"Wow! It was such a loud noise just now, did you hear it?"

"I heard it, I heard it..."

Crowds of people gathered near the shrine.

Fortunately, the area from the mountainside to the top of Mount Sagi is enough to accommodate the entire town of Sagi.

"Huh... I caught up." Kanroji Sakuracake stood in the shrine palace. She looked at the crowd in front of her that had successfully evacuated before the other party arrived, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, she and Uyashiki Sukeyo suddenly received a notice from Naosen Nai, saying that Muzan was likely to appear near the barrier, so they should be prepared.

——The three of them really got it right...

——The barrier was broken with a hole.

She looked down the mountain from the residents in front of her, feeling a little worried in her heart.

From the mountain, one could clearly see the thick smoke rising from the street next to the doctor's office.

Zhu Shi did not choose to take refuge in the mountains.

Zhu Shi is probably staying in the doctor's office now.

Only the doctor "took the initiative" to follow him up Mount Saagiri.

Kanroji Sakura-cake pursed her lips helplessly. She turned her head and looked to her side. She had the impression that the doctor was standing next to her. She said subconsciously:

"Doctor, you..."

But next to me, the doctor I imagined was not here. There was no one here.

Kanroji Sakurabake blinked, quickly turned around and looked around, but found no trace of the doctor.

She seemed to understand something. She instantly raised her head and looked in the direction of Yamashita Medical Clinic, frowning slightly: "...that idiot."

In the side room.

Ubuyashiki Sukeyo raised his head, looked through the window at the rising moon in the distant sky, and murmured:

"Have you...come?"

The faint moonlight fell on his face. He held the brush in his hand and slowly closed his eyes.

All conceivable preparations have been completed.

It went surprisingly smoothly.

Ubuyashiki Sukeyo is by his side.

A raven with particularly shiny feathers seemed to have just woken up from sleep. She slowly shook her head and stood up from the table.

Lowering his head, the eagle crow glanced at the other eagle crow who was still sleeping next to him.

Bang bang!

He stretched out his claws and kicked the opponent hard twice, and said human words: "Get up."

…

on the street.

Wow! Wow!

"No... miserable!"

Takehara used his hand to pull away the dust around him, and his expression suddenly became very exciting.

The tacit understanding between the two is almost zero.

Not caring about complaining to each other, Wu Kai quickly continued talking about the location of the blue Higanbana flower:

"Turn around, it's on the right! Very close!"

When Takehara heard this, he quickly turned around and took a big step directly into the direction to his right.

Bang! !

It hit the wooden door.

"Hurry!" Wu Mei's eyes gradually lost the fear. He greedily sniffed the rich fragrance of blue flowers from the other side in the air, and his heart was full of desire.

On the curtain hanging above the wooden door, the words "Physician's Clinic" were written with a calligraphy brush.

Because the situation suddenly became urgent, Takehara's body also became nervous and his heart beat faster under the influence of Muhan's emotions.

boom!

He suddenly smashed the door of the doctor's office in the smoke and stepped directly into the doctor's office.

In the doctor's office.

In Zhushi's room.

There were no lights on in the dim room, and the originally open windows were boarded up tightly, with only a few gaps revealing the moonlight.

Joo Se is sitting at the experimental table in front of the window.

The movements of her hands were slow and unhurried, and when she heard the noise coming from outside, she only glanced slightly sideways.

The moonlight reflected in her lavender pupils, vaguely illuminating the movements of her hands.

Pfft...

A fine steel needle was inserted into the arm, and some purple and cyan liquid was injected tube after tube.

"Goo...ho..." The blue lines began to spread along the blood vessels, Zhu Shi's expression became a little painful, and a small amount of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

But she didn't stop.

Poof!

Pick up another tube of medicine and continue to inject it.

The faint sadness that had always existed in her eyes was completely lifted at this moment.

It turned into obvious and definite hatred.

…

At this moment, outside Zhu Shi's room.

Snap.

Takehara ran quickly twice, and just when he was about to reach out and push open Zhushi's door, he suddenly stopped.

"What are you doing?! Come in quickly!"

Muzan had a ferocious look on his face. He eagerly wanted to move Takehara's body. Unfortunately, as long as the two of them disagreed, it was almost impossible to move the body:

"Asshole!" Wu Kuai yelled angrily.

Takehara, on the other hand, just stared at the side of the corridor in Zhu Shi's room with a flaming blade - the Nichirin Sword.

This is the sword that Purgatory Jinjuro left here.

——It was the New Nichirin Sword that was originally intended to be given to Takehara as a gift.

"What are you looking at?! Is there anything more important than the blue Higanbana now!!" Wumei roared angrily. He felt the scent of Higanbana just across the door, and his mentality had reached the extreme.

"...That sword." Takehara stared at the Nichirin sword and said in a daze.

"No misfortune." His voice suddenly calmed down, and he seemed not to be so eager for the blue Higan flower. Takehara raised his hand, pointed at the Nichirin sword, and asked:

"Why…"

"…Why is my name engraved on that Nichirin sword?"

The angry Wuhan suddenly felt cold in his heart when he heard this.

Oops.

A feeling that everything was lost suddenly arose in Wuhan's heart.

He suddenly looked in the direction where Takehara was pointing.

The words "Takehara" and "Purgatory" are engraved on the scabbard and tang of the Nichirin Sword.

"That purgatory..."

Takehara's tone gradually became lower, and his eyes became dim and cold:

"Who is it again?"

"Answer me, no misfortune."
