Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 44: Muzan's Enlightenment and Demon Slayer's Change of Path
"Do you know?"

When Kanae Kocho heard the conversation, she keenly realized that these humans who suddenly appeared on Fujishiko Mountain knew each other.

The professor's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly smiled and said
"Yes, we are all adventurers from overseas. We came to this country and heard that there were cannibals wreaking havoc everywhere, so we wanted to investigate. Unexpectedly, we were attacked in the mountains at night and we were separated."

The professor is very good at dealing with the characters in the plot. Although what he said is not without loopholes, it is difficult for Butterfly Kanae to verify it in a short time.

Moreover, the traces of battle on the bodies of several people did not seem to be fake. In addition, Bai Cangshu, the fierce man who had just killed a ghost with his physical body, did not deny the other party's words. This made Kocho Kanae nodded, thoughtful.

"So, you guys are fighting with ghosts in Tengxi Mountain tonight?"

"I thought... some trainer from a remote area was still sending his disciples to Mount Tengxi..."

There was both relief and loss in Kocho Kanae's tone.

A few years ago, somehow, Muzan Kibutsuji seemed to have suddenly "come to his senses" and changed his previous way of doing things.

He took the initiative to contact high-ranking officials and nobles, used the wealth accumulated over thousands of years and the secret technique that could make people "immortal", quickly gained the support of the powerful and eventually came into contact with the big shots who were high above.

The Taisho era was a time after the Meiji Restoration, when the entire country underwent tremendous changes. The Heian era, when sorcery was supreme, had ended for too long, and the Shinto priests had long lost their miraculous powers. Muzan Kibutsuji became the new "true god" in the hearts of many elderly and powerful people.

In the end, with the support of one of Emperor Taisho's descendants, Muzan Kibutsuji began to take the initiative to eliminate the interference of the Demon Slayer Corps. The industry of the Ubuyashiki clan was affected, and the Demon Slayer Corps was regarded as a private armed force and could not operate openly.

The number of cannibals began to increase rapidly in this environment.

The Demon Slayer Corps was suppressed to the point where they could hardly appear.

A large area of ​​Fujikiyama was also burned down by the Left Minister and his men. Since then, trainers from all over the country began to lose contact with the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters. Many members of the Demon Slayer Corps were arrested and left the Corps to join the government.

All these signs made it almost impossible for the Demon Slayer Corps to continue.

Fortunately, the core members of the Demon Slayer Corps, the Pillar-level swordsmen, all stayed and kept running in secret. The Rock Pillar, Gyomei Hiramashi, killed three Lower Moons in succession, which reduced the search speed of the Twelve Demon Moons. The Lower Moons began to be afraid to act alone.

However, the Lower Moons who formed a double team would still be hunted down by the Rock Pillar, which made Muzan Kibutsuji furious. He promoted a number of so-called "Lower Moon candidates" and adopted a cruel "last-in-last elimination system" among the Lower Moons, regularly eliminating those Lower Moons who had no achievements every six months.

This caused the Lower Moon to start rioting, and the Demon Slayer Corps suffered heavy losses.

Today, Lord Ubuyashiki Amane, who has the blood of a priest, announced that a new power had appeared in the Fujisaki Mountain area. Therefore, Kocho Kanae led a team to check it out, but was chased by the sheriff and the cannibal team who also came.

It finally became what it is now.

After hearing the explanation from Kanae Kocho, several reincarnations looked at her in different ways.

Obviously, everyone realized that this world was indeed different from the plot world in their memory. The biggest change was naturally Muzan Kibutsuji, the boss who had neither brains nor courage except for [Scrap] in the original work, but suddenly became smart.

Start to use humans to control the situation.

The professor went a step further and realized that if he entered the world, he could quickly integrate the opinions of everyone in the team, and when the ogre rushed over, the seven of them would cooperate to complete the blocking.

Next, you will meet the Demon Slayer Corps camp represented by [Hanabe-chan, Kocho Kanae] and the camp represented by [Kizan Kibutsuji Muzan], the sheriff and the cannibal.

Afterwards, the reincarnation can choose to help one of the parties, defeat or even kill the other party according to his own inclinations and goals. This will meet the requirements of main mission 1 and main mission 2, and even directly gain a faction reputation.

Unfortunately……

The professor's eyes moved, finally stopping on the man who "disguised" himself into that terrifying appearance.

It’s a pity that the strongest person in the team has such a difficult personality.

Just as Liu Qi, the man in the bamboo hat, said, the first cannibal who appeared had an unreasonable strong desire to attack this man. The only explanation they could think of was that this man was extremely powerful, which was why he was targeted by the space.

Or... the professor calmed his breathing, took two steps forward, and took the initiative to contact Kocho Kanae.

She also wanted to get more detailed information.

For example, the current number and strength of the [Twelve Demon Moons], and even the whereabouts of Muzan Kibutsuji.

But Kocho Kanae just shook her head gently and rejected the other party.

"It's still dark, so I'd better treat this gentleman's injuries first. When it's daybreak, we can find a place to talk in detail."

She came to Bai Cangshu and took the initiative to bandage the wound on Bai Cangshu's right hand.

Seeing this, the others had no choice but to disperse. Vincent and Elizabeth stayed at the outermost edge of the team, their eyes always on Bai Cangshu.

In their eyes, Bai Cangzhu is the culprit who made this mission so dangerous.

Of course, they would not be stupid enough to explode at this time. Reincarnationists have their own way of survival, and the most important one is - don't provoke those who are stronger than you, especially... when the other party is not a "good person".

Elizabeth looked at Bai Cangshu who was giving her a dangerous smile and subconsciously looked away.

At this moment, she was indeed somewhat certain that what Liu Qihe and the professor said was right. This man was extremely dangerous!
Anyone who provokes me without knowing my true background is either a fool or an extremely confident madman.

Seeing that the blond man and the green-haired woman had looked away, Bai Cangshu withdrew his gaze complacently like a victorious general.

Kocho Kanae is indeed from a medical family, and her bandaging technique is very professional. She doesn't make Bai Cangshu feel his arm is too restrained, but the twisted finger joints and damaged capillaries are all compressed.

"You can't use force on your right hand for a short period of time, otherwise it may cause deformity."

Bai Cangshu was unmoved by the "doctor's orders". The so-called reincarnations were disposable combat weapons. As long as they survived and returned to space, any injury could be healed.

What's more...

The unique rhythm of [Ripple Qigong] was maintained between Bai Cangzhu's mouth and nose. The tingling and numb feeling was always lingering in his right hand. In addition to its combat effects, Ripple Qigong was also very good in treatment and longevity.

He felt that his right arm would recover soon.

"When it's daybreak, I need you to come with me to meet someone and figure out how to deal with the murder of the sheriff."

Kocho Kanae spoke softly, but her words were firm, and her bandaged hands grasped Bai Cangshu's arm joints without her knowing when.

Bai Cangshu didn't care. After hearing what Kanae Kocho had said before, he knew that this was probably another world where the ruling class cooperated with Muzan Kibutsuji to exploit ordinary people.

That kind of story happens almost every moment, and he can guess the general development of the story just by making a random guess. The Left Minister and the Sheriff are all just the will of the Emperor's son.

"Does this kind of thing need to be solved by others?"

"Tell me the location of the minister and the ghost, and I will communicate with them myself. It will be easy to solve."

Kanae Kocho felt that although the person in front of her had heroic features (plot characters would not be affected by the disguise of the ancient god's appearance, but would be affected by charm), he was very rash in doing things, and she frowned.

"How can you communicate if you've killed someone?"

Bai Cangshu nodded.

"Yeah, I killed someone, do I need to communicate?"
