The Fruit of Surgery

"Come on, I know you can do it." Shen Fei, who was about to leave, patted Tanjiro on the head, said some encouraging words, nodded to Urokodaki Sakonji, and turned to leave.

It must be said that the head pillar is the head pillar. Even if he saw Shen Fei's rapid progress, his eyes did not show any jealousy, only envy, and he continued to train with greater perseverance.

After Urokodaki Sakonji knew Shen Fei's talent later, he also paid more attention to Tanjiro. Although Tanjiro's performance was far worse than Shen Fei, compared with others, Tanjiro was already very powerful.

Urokodaki Sakonji also discussed Nezuko's situation with Shen Fei. Shen Fei certainly had no opinion on this. Although there was no precedent for human and ghost coexistence, Nezuko's specialness could be used as an exception.

If it were other ghosts, in Nezuko's current situation, I'm afraid they would have gone crazy and looked for food everywhere, but Nezuko was just sleeping.

Special means change. In the thousand-year confrontation between the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons, change means turning point. In the thousand-year confrontation, the Demon Slayer Corps has always been at a disadvantage. It was only by sacrificing countless lives that the number of demons was limited.

The turning point of the Demon Slayer Corps was four hundred years ago, when the peerless genius swordsman Yoriichi Tsugakushi was born. Before Yoriichi Tsugakushi, there was no breathing method, and everything was done by manpower. At that time, the way to kill demons was to catch the demons or hold them until dawn and the sun appeared.

After Yoriichi Tsugakushi created the breathing method, a large number of powerful swordsmen appeared. Under the leadership of Yoriichi Tsugakushi, they forced Muzan Kibutsuji into a desperate situation and almost killed Muzan.

What is a genius? Yoriichi Tsugakushi is that you have been practicing hard all your life, but the result is just the starting point of others. You can't refuse to accept it.

After Kuniyoshi died, the Demon Slayer Corps and the demons were in a standoff again. However, because Muzan seemed to be scared out of his wits, and a large number of derived breathing methods appeared, the Demon Slayer Corps became much stronger, and now they are evenly matched on the surface.

"Mountsuki-tsubo?" Shen Fei walked towards the north with the letter from Urokodaki Sakonji to Tomioka Giyu. According to Urokodaki Sakonji, people seemed to be constantly missing there, and there might be demons. This was the task that Urokodaki Sakonji got from the Demon Slayer Corps.

Although Shen Fei is not a formal member of the Demon Slayer Corps now, his strength is no less than that of the Demon Slayer Corps' pillars on the surface. With such strength, there will be basically no danger to deal with a few demons as long as he is not careless.

In the absence of the Demon Slayer Corps' exclusive mission messenger bird, the Crow, Shen Fei can only travel by himself and look for demons at the same time. Of course, he is not looking for demons like a headless fly, but he first looks for Tomioka Giyu and obtains relevant information from him.

First accumulate experience in fighting against demons, then participate in the test of the Demon Slayer Corps next year, and then you can become a formal member. Once your strength and achievements reach a certain level, if there is a vacancy in the Nine Pillars, you can almost become a Pillar.

The sacrifice rate of the Nine Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps is very high. After all, compared with the general members of the Demon Slayer Corps, who only deal with ordinary demons, the Pillars have to deal with the Twelve Demon Moons.

It is not unreasonable that Demon Slayer is called Pillar Slayer, because most of the Nine Pillars will sacrifice one or two years after they take office.

All the Nine Pillars now have just been replaced not long ago. Calculating the time, when the protagonist team officially dealt with Muzan, the Nine Pillars were almost all destroyed. This time is not wrong.

Perhaps because of Shen Fei's strong strength, and Shen Fei asked some questions, Urokodaki Sakonji told him a lot about the Demon Slayer Corps, many of which were about the Nine Pillars.

"The Taisho era is very different from the history I know. That's right. After all, it's a different world. There are demons, so of course the history is very different."

Urokodaki Sakonji doesn't know much about the outside world, because he has been fighting demons all his life. After retirement, he has been training the younger members of the Demon Slayer Corps. He has no time to pay attention to the changes outside.

Speaking of which, Urokodaki Sakonji is one of the few pillars who can live to retirement. Among the nine pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, such pillars are really rare.

It is not easy to train a qualified member of the Demon Slayer Corps, especially a member like Tanjiro who has the status of a stepson. The energy consumed is very great. Urokodaki Sakonji can only train one or two at a time.

"As far as I know, there seem to be guns in this era, and there are trains, but they seem to be steam trains." Although there are guns, because the damage to demons is too low, only a few people in the Demon Slayer Corps use guns.

Of course, this is also related to the low power of firearms in this era. If it is a firearm from modern society, it will be very dangerous to ghosts. Even if it can't kill you, it can completely cripple you and wait for the sun.

"What a peaceful town." This time Shen Fei did not encounter any accidents along the way and came to Yueping Town at the foot of Yueping Mountain. This is a small but wealthy town.

Living in the mountains, there is little contact with the outside world and self-sufficiency. Even if the outside world develops steam trains and firearms, it seems that they have no effect at all.

"If Muzan hadn't killed Touzhu's family, Touzhu might have been a charcoal seller for the rest of his life."

"People on the street look worried. It seems that there are really ghosts here." Although Shen Fei did not talk to anyone, he still knew what happened in the town by relying on his observation Haki. So far, about eight teenagers between the ages of ten and sixteen have disappeared.

Although he also reported to the police, the authorities had no way to deal with it because they could not find any traces.

"One person disappears every two days?" At night, Shen Fei stood alone on a three-story roof in the middle of the town, monitoring the situation in the town with his observation Haki.

Without the superhuman sense of smell of the head pillar, it would be difficult to find the ghost without using the observation Haki.

"It seems that the protagonist team all have a very special ability." Super strong sense of smell, vision, hearing, feeling, Shen Fei did not have any of these, he was just an ordinary person before.

"Are you here?" As the full moon rose, Shen Fei soon found that there were creatures wandering around the streets of the town. Because of the continuous disappearances, no one would walk on the streets in the town at night, so those who were moving on the streets now were very suspicious.

Shen Fei, thinking this in his heart, immediately took action. He shaved his head and soon came to the vicinity of the creature he sensed. Then he saw a slender figure walking along the wall of the house.

"Snake, snake ghost?" With the help of moonlight, Shen Fei saw clearly that this was a guy with a long tail, about three meters long. Although the upper body had a human face, the teeth and tongue were very much like a snake.

There are many types of ghosts. When they first became ghosts, they were almost the same. They were all cannibals. However, as the number of people they ate increased, their images would change greatly for various reasons. After that, if they continued to eat people, they would evolve abilities different from ordinary ghosts, blood ghost arts.

"Room, slaughterhouse." Looking at a boy about the same age as Tanjiro who was entangled by the snake's tail, Shen Fei casually threw the stone in his palm upwards. In an instant, the stone disappeared, and the boy who was sleeping or unconscious was unknown.

"Uh." As soon as Shen Fei started to act, the snake ghost found something wrong. After seeing the boy on the tail disappear, he immediately looked around and found Shen Fei standing on the wall not far away, and the boy in his hand.

As soon as the snake ghost saw the boy in Shen Fei's hand, he rushed towards Shen Fei without any nonsense, and his speed was much faster than that of ordinary snakes.

After rushing to a distance in front of Shen Fei, the snake body immediately jumped up with a flick of its tail, opened its huge bloody mouth, and bit Shen Fei's head.

Bang.

The next moment, the snake ghost's body in the air suddenly flew to one side, hit the wall heavily, and made a loud noise.

"Fortunately, he was just unconscious." When the snake ghost was dizzy, Shen Fei checked the boy's body, and then put him on the street, and then made a surgical seal. A golden chain appeared in his hand out of thin air, and then was thrown on the snake ghost, the magic of Kamar-Taj.

"Let's go." Shen Fei looked at the lights around him that were lit up because of the loud noise, and with a phantom, he pulled the snake ghost away from Yueping Town.

While learning the water breathing technique, Shen Fei also completed the dimensional magic. After that, whenever he saw Muzan, he could directly pull him into the mirror space. In this case, it would be useless to split into more than 1,800 pieces, let alone 18,000 pieces.

"Be honest." As soon as the snake ghost started struggling after coming out of the apparition, Shen Fei kicked it. Because its mouth was locked by a chain, the snake ghost could only look at Shen Fei with extremely angry eyes, making a humming sound, and could not speak at all.

"It looks completely different from Nezuko. Is this a different evolution?" In the huge laboratory, after injecting the muscle relaxant into the snake ghost, Shen Fei began to study the cells and genes in the snake ghost.

He could only take some blood from Nezuko at most, but he could do it here at will.

"If the abnormality of this part of the gene is eliminated, can the ghost be turned into a human? However, more data is still needed. It would be great if we could get the blood of the Twelve Ghost Moons or Muzan. However, before that, another question needs to be determined."

On the open ground, the snake ghost locked by the golden chain was placed on a strange pattern, the Sage's Stone Refining Array.

As the refining array was activated, the snake ghost began to struggle constantly, but the strength of the struggle gradually became weaker and weaker, until the latter was completely different, and finally turned into ashes and disappeared into the air.

"Without leaving the flesh, in some ways, it really has the characteristics of the legendary ghost." Looking at the red shining Sage's Stone in his hand, Shen Fei couldn't help laughing.

"This is the biggest gain in this world." The Sage's Stone transformed by a snake ghost is equivalent to dozens of times that of an ordinary person, and the resentment in it is much smaller.

"Muzan, now even if I want to let you go, it's impossible." A snake ghost has such an effect, so what about Muzan, the ghost king.

Even if it's not for the sake of knowing what happened to Muzan's body, just for the sake of the Philosopher's Stone, Shen Fei must kill Muzan. In this way, he can not only get rid of harm for the people, but also benefit himself, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

"We need to speed up the process of killing demons. It's a waste to let the Demon Slayer Corps kill such demons." Shen Fei is not ready to give up such a way to get the Philosopher's Stone with peace of mind.

"We need to hurry up and find Giyu Tomioka." If you want to find the location of the ghost in a place where you are not familiar with, the only place you can go is the Demon Slayer Corps.

"I really don't have the luck of the protagonist." After killing the snake ghost, Shen Fei walked all the way to his destination, trying to find other ghosts. He would investigate some small villages and towns he met along the way, but unfortunately he found nothing.

Although there have been attacks and people missing in some places, it has been a long time. Although ghosts can increase their strength by eating people, they cannot become stronger all the time. There is an upper limit.

Once a certain level is reached, eating people will not increase their strength at all. In this case, ghosts will not do anything like slaughtering a village.

Once the strength of a ghost reaches the ceiling, eating or killing people is just for food or mood.

Outside the gate of Fuji's house.

Shen Fei knocked on the door, looked at a young woman who walked out, and immediately showed the Nichirin sword in his hand, and then said: "Hello, I want to see Tomioka Giyu, I wonder if he is here."

There are no telephones in this era, and not everyone has a 鎹 Crow. If you want to contact quickly, the Demon Slayer Corps' method is to build Fuji Houses at a certain distance.

Provide logistics and medical support for the members of the Demon Slayer Corps. People in Fuji Houses are basically people whose families have been harmed by demons.

Strictly speaking, the first generation of the Demon Slayer Corps is actually a group of people who survived the hands of demons and wanted to take revenge. They united and gradually reached such a scale.

If you can't fight demons directly, then provide help in logistics.

Of course, all this is also due to the management of the Demon Slayer Corps' head, the Ubuyashiki Yoshiya clan. Each generation of this clan has wisdom far beyond that of ordinary people. It is precisely relying on the management of this clan that the Demon Slayer Corps persisted even in the most difficult times.

The ideals of the Demon Slayer Corps are good, but as long as you are a human, you need to eat, just like the superheroes in the Marvel world, they also need to work and make money.

In order to allow the members of the Demon Slayer Corps to concentrate on fighting the demons, the Ubuyashiki clan has been supporting the Demon Slayer Corps with the economy. Fortunately, this clan is very good at business and can make a lot of money.

Of course, some of the money is obtained through donations. It is not just the poor who are persecuted by demons, but also the rich. These people will not be stingy with money in order to take revenge.

If Shen Fei wants to see Tomioka Giyuu, he can only see him at the specified time and in the specified place. The reason why it is possible is that the pillars are very busy. If there is an emergency, they may not be there.

"My Lord is here now." Tomioka Giyuu is the water pillar, and he can be regarded as an absolute high-level in the Demon Slayer Corps. Although they are all for fighting demons, the hierarchy in the Demon Slayer Corps is also strict. Except for the protagonist team, they can not abide by this rule, and everyone else strictly abides by the rules.
