At the same time, traveling through time, starting from subverting the war at the top

Chapter 34: Huh? How did you know I was going to kill an upper demon?
"Ms. Butterfly?"

"Ms. Butterfly?!"

Seeing that Shinobu Kocho was standing there motionless and looked a little unwell, Lin Mo walked up to her, patted her shoulder and spoke.

Trapped in self-doubt and denial, Shinobu Kocho was sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss of her own spiritual world. Suddenly, she felt a voice from the outside world. She subconsciously raised her head, and a ray of sunlight fell.

The originally dull eyes suddenly lit up.

Shinobu Kocho looked at the face so close to her and suddenly grabbed Lin Mo's arm.

"What's wrong?" Lin Mo was startled by Shinobu Kocho's sudden action.

"If it were you, you would definitely be able to do it!" Shinobu Kocho said loudly.

"what?"

"Kill the upper demons!"

Shinobu Kocho said excitedly, "The Demon Slayer Corps hasn't killed an upper-rank demon for hundreds of years. If it were you, you would definitely be able to do it!"

"How do you know I'm going to kill the Upper Moon Demon?" Lin Mo asked back.

Now it was Shinobu Kocho's turn to be stunned.

Ugh? !

Shinobu Kocho was stunned for a moment, a beat late before she reacted. She stared at Lin Mo with wide eyes and screamed out loudly.

Attacking the Upper Rank was part of Lin Mo's plan, and it had nothing to do with Shinobu Kocho.

Now that he has mastered the swordsmanship, he needs to find a suitable opponent to hone his skills.

Breathing of Flame, Breathing of the Sun, and the fighting skills of Fighting Through the World all need to be honed.

Lin Mo, currently focused on cultivating his fighting spirit and refining medicine, has little time to hone his combat experience. In the underwater prison, the pirate Lin Mo is constantly on guard against being surrounded by the Impel Down City, constantly engaging in guerrilla warfare and unable to fully unleash his power, fearing that he will attract Magellan's suppression.

All in all, he has the best conditions.

Ordinary ghosts, even lower-rank ghosts, are too weak for Lin Mo now. They are so weak that there is no value in training them.

Only the upper ranks can act as sandbags, and they happen to have strong recovery abilities. As for why Demon Slayer Lin Mo doesn't worry about attracting Muzan like the pirate Lin Mo does about attracting Magellan, it's naturally because he's not afraid.

If Muzan really comes, it’s still unclear who will run away and which one will run away.

Most of the upper-rank demons are elusive.

However, the position of one of the winding ones is clearly stated in the original work.

The siblings Daki and Gitarou from the Upper Six Moons.

Lin Mo's destination is where they are hiding, and it is also the gathering place of eroticism and desire in the whole of Japan.

Flower Street.

After hearing that Lin Mo was going to kill the Upper Moon, Shinobu Kocho dropped all her work and followed him.

"Do you know why the Demon Slayer Corps hasn't killed an upper-rank demon in hundreds of years?" On the way, Lin Mo suddenly brought up the topic that Shinobu Kocho had talked about before.

".We are too weak." Shinobu Kocho was silent for a moment before speaking.

"That's indeed the root cause, but the reasons are actually more complicated," Lin Mo said. Having read the original novel, Lin Mo knew more about the history of the Demon Slayer Corps than Shinobu Kocho.

The current Demon Slayer Corps of the Taisho era can be said to be the strongest group of Demon Slayer swordsmen except for the first generation of swordsman group in the Warring States period.

In other words, the overall level of the Demon Slayer Corps pillars in other periods is definitely not as good as the current group, and this is before they awaken their markings, open the transparent world, and master the red sword.

It can be inferred that the strength of the previous pillars was around the middle and lower levels of the white-board pillars in the Taisho period.

After all, the threshold to become a pillar is relatively loose. If you kill 50 ghosts, you are qualified to become a pillar.

You should know that there were as many as 22 Pillars who died at the hands of Daki and Gitarou, the siblings of the Upper Six.

It has only been about a hundred years since the Daki siblings became upper-rank demons.

Of course, there were strong pillars in the past. There were pillars that could beat Yuhu into the second stage, and there were also many who cut off the head of Daki. There was even a swordsman who could not be killed by Kokushimomu.

If these powerful pillars could have received strong support at that time, they might have been able to successfully kill the Upper Moons like the Sound Pillar in the original work.

Unfortunately, the Demon Slayer Corps often don't know what level of demon they are going to face before arriving at the mission location.

The Infinite Train arc shows that even if a pillar encounters the waxing moon during a mission, it is difficult for the powerful pillar to hold on until the arrival of other pillars. In addition, because the pillars are powerful, acting alone is the optimal resource allocation for the Demon Slayer Corps. Therefore, over the past few hundred years, lone pillars have always been killed by the waxing moon, and the waning moon has always been killed by the pillars because of its weakness. This leads to the fact that among the Twelve Demon Moons, the waxing moon has been getting stronger because it devours the strong, so the selection has remained unchanged, while the waning moon has been killed and replaced because it is weaker than the pillars.

Therefore, if you want to kill an upper-rank demon, the reasonable configuration is three pillars, and this excludes the first three upper-rank demons.

More than a hundred years ago, the successful killing of the Upper Moon Demon might have been a joint action of multiple pillars in Lin Mo's opinion.

After listening to Lin Mo's analysis, Kocho Shinobu nodded and said, "Mr. Mo's words make a lot of sense. This is why the Lord has attached so much importance to intelligence in recent years. As long as the exact whereabouts of the Upper Rank Demon can be determined, we can be sent to take action together."

"By the way, Mr. Mo, you said you were going to kill the Upper Rank Demons. Do you have any information about this?"

Lin Mo nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that's exactly where we're going next. But before we go there, Miss Butterfly needs to disguise herself."

"If I remember correctly, there's a house with a wisteria pattern not far ahead. We can just rest there."

The so-called Wisteria Pattern House is a peripheral organization of the Demon Slayer Corps established by those who have been helped by the Demon Slayer Corps.

They will mark special wisteria flower patterns outside their homes and provide corresponding assistance to the Demon Slayer Corps members free of charge. It can be said that this is a base for the Demon Slayer Corps to stay and rest in the world.

Although its role is not as obvious as that of the Swordsmith Village and Butterfly Dance, it is also an indispensable existence in the Demon Slayer Corps.

Yoshiwara Flower Street.

A street at night filled with the vanity and desires of men and women, a mixture of love and hate.

Most of the geishas living here were sold here because of poverty or debt, and they bear endless suffering.

But on the other hand, coming here also means having food and clothing guaranteed.

If you can make a name for yourself in the red-light district, it's possible for you to become a good woman and marry into a wealthy family.

Therefore, in order to get the life they want, these women have to try their best to please the men who come here for pleasure, especially the rich men.

As night falls, the lights come on.

Red lights were hanging high on both sides of the street, and the whole street was filled with the fragrance of lust.

The two wealthy young men took advantage of the night and came to the red-light district, just like the other people who came there to seek pleasure.
