NOVEL NEXT Chapter 60
Chapter Sixty: Ghost Finding Experiment (Seeking Subscription)
“You’re back?”
In the Demon Slayer World, Misaka Mikoto reappeared beside Bai Luo and the others.
The young girl was unaware that her movements had already been noticed by someone, still immersed in a secret gathering with her group members.
“I came right after school ended.”
Misaka Mikoto: “~I’m exhausted.”
“Little Brother Tanjiro – how is it going?”
At this moment in the Demon Slayer World, it was already midnight, with less than an hour until sunrise.
Evidently, the first day of the Fujise Mountain selection was about to end.
For Bai Luo and the others, this also marked the beginning of their battle against Mushan from Ghost Dance Road.
“Tanjiro is unstoppable.”
Kurumi Tokisaki held a cup of red tea, appearing as an elegant young lady.
She was different from Ace and the others, having stayed behind all along.
Esdeath needed to lead the army.
However, she heard that the war against the alien races was nearing its end, so she would have a long period of free time coming up.
Qian Renxue’s situation was similar to Esdeath’s. Her undercover plan wouldn’t be affected by external activities, but she still had to report to the two protectors of her own title.
Adolf K. Wiesmann returned to the K World, seemingly dealing with some urgent matters.
Master Abe had to take care of two children, so aside from coming during meal times, he wouldn’t stay for long.
Counting it down, at this point, apart from Bai Luo and Kurumi Tokisaki, only Misaka Mikoto who had just come back through the portal remained in the Demon Slayer World.
“It seems the previous special training has proven effective.”
Ace looked at the screen showing the footage and indeed saw Tanjiro easily decapitating a demon with just a few swings of his blade.
As for Tanjiro,
the boy could feel the pain from the demons each time he killed a batch of them.
Many demons didn’t choose to become demons willingly.
Being transformed into demons by Mushan, they were forced to feed on human flesh and blood; this was the origin of most demons.
Though their minds twisted after becoming demons, at the moment of death, when memories of the past surfaced, they regained their memories as humans.
“Right and wrong will be judged after death.”
Bai Luo sighed, “This world has souls, the afterlife, and reincarnation.”
In theory, evil demons who commit numerous atrocities will inevitably descend into hell and receive terrible punishment after death.
Of course, Bai Luo wouldn’t rely on the afterlife.
Since he had arrived, everything should be decided by him!
“Seyri.”
“Yes?”
Kurumi Tokisaki: “Is there anything you need?”
“I plan to capture a few ghosts for research.”
Bai Luo: “Also, it’s a good opportunity to test how much time you gain by devouring evil spirits.”
“Ah~~~”
Kurumi Tokisaki: “I didn’t expect you to remember, White Luo, which makes me very happy.”
“If you say something nice, I might be even happier.”
Bai Luo didn’t mind teasing Kurumi Tokisaki, and the young girl, being considerate, immediately acted cute and coquettish, making Bai Luo quite pleased.
“Seyri, you wait here with Delta and the others for my return.”
“Boss, Delta wants to go too…”
Although Delta said this, her eyes kept glancing at Cat Girl.
“I’ll leave Cat Girl here too.”
“Then Delta is willing to stay!”
“Meow~~~”
Indeed, it’s not about one’s own suffering but rather seeing others do well. Delta understood what she couldn’t obtain, and neither should the stinky cat.
Cat Girl found it absurd. She completely failed to understand this dumb dog’s logic: Are you crazy? A normal person would think about going together, not mutual destruction!
“Pfft!”
Kurumi Tokisaki was amused by the antics of the cat and the dog.
Her eyes sparkled with joy, and she followed Bai Luo closely.
Ace, upon seeing this, quickly joined them.
Look, this is how humans should interact!
Don’t monopolize good things; otherwise, it might end in a split.
Instead of everyone missing out, why not share?
At least, you’d win half of it, right?
“What are you coming for?”
The good mood from the previous moment was interrupted by Ace’s sudden intrusion.
“The following scenes might be quite cruel.”
Kurumi Tokisaki worried about Ace’s psychological state: “Are you sure you want to follow?”
“Do you know who I am?”
Ace was soft everywhere except for her mouth, which was incredibly tough.
She would never admit to being inferior to Kurumi Tokisaki.
“Hehe.”
Kurumi Tokisaki: “Be careful not to throw up.”
“You’re the one who’ll throw up!!”
Ace’s face turned red with embarrassment as she glared at Kurumi Tokisaki.
Thus, while bickering, the two followed Bai Luo away from Fujise Mountain and entered a small town.
“Is the target here?”
“Yes.”
Bai Luo said, “Even for testing purposes, I will make selections.”
Taming some, suppressing others, and eliminating the rest.
This was Bai Luo’s arrangement for the ghost population.
“The next target I’m going to capture likes eating sixteen-year-old girls and uses their hair accessories as trophies.”
Hearing this, both Kurumi Tokisaki and Ace felt physically uncomfortable.
Kurumi Tokisaki kills, but she usually targets delinquents, hoodlums, and sex-crazed perverts.
Children, women, and innocent ordinary people—Kurumi Tokisaki wouldn’t harm them casually.
As for Ace, she was simply a pure-hearted child full of justice.
“A monster like that deserves to be eaten by Three-Three!”
“…”
Kurumi Tokisaki wanted to hit someone: “Three-Three and ‘eating,’ Electric Sister, you’re getting more and more outrageous.”
City of Time Consumption consumes lives, what does that have to do with her?
Don’t make it sound like she enjoys eating people!
“Isn’t it pretty much the same?”
“Not at all, Electric Sister!”
Amidst the squabbling of the two women, the three walked down a dimly lit street.
At this moment, there was no one around. With a step forward, Bai Luo casually released his magic power, sweeping it across the town, instantly locating the target he had chosen.
“Chirp chirp!”
Silver-black threads of magical energy shot into the shadows beneath their feet. Then, a figure was violently thrown at Bai Luo’s feet, like a fish pulled out of water.
“What is this thing?”
“Damn! Let me go! Human!!”
The Marsh Ghost, capable of creating clones and diving into swamp space.
Unfortunately, these tricks were utterly useless against Bai Luo.
“Is this the one?”
Kurumi Tokisaki bent down to inspect the Marsh Ghost, disdainfully saying, “So ugly.”
“Huh?!”
The veins on the Marsh Ghost’s face bulged. He opened his massive mouth and roared, “I’ll eat you! Damn woman!!”
“Bang!”
Kurumi Tokisaki frowned and fired a round from her flintlock pistol directly at the Marsh Ghost’s forehead.
She didn’t use the bullets from the Kukkuruki Emperor, so she directly blew off the Marsh Ghost’s head.
However, the broken head of the Marsh Ghost quickly began to regenerate before their very eyes. This astonishing regenerative ability, despite having seen it many times, still left the two women in awe.
“Leaving other things aside, this regenerative ability fits my understanding of ghosts perfectly.”
Ace believed that the physical regenerative abilities of these evil spirits, if placed in Academy City, could potentially earn a 1v3 rating.
This was without considering their immortality due to losing their heads or hearts and still not dying.
If their long lifespan, internal organ regeneration, head recovery, and simple limb regeneration were taken into account,
forget about 1v3, even reaching a 1v6 rating with superpowers focused solely on physical regeneration might not be possible.
To be honest, viewing these evil spirits from the perspective of superpowers truly challenges conventional thinking.
