Chapter 69 The Fourth Calamity
What exactly qualifies something to be called the "Fourth Calamity"?
In the past, Chen Lai would have found this question difficult to answer, but now he felt that the scene before him provided a good answer.

"Do you want some? I'll share a bite with you."

With bloodstains around his mouth, [Mouse Me] threw the dragged person in front of Chen Lai and grinned menacingly.

"Thank you, you're very generous."

"It's nothing."

"Have you eaten everyone in this village?"

Chen Lai squinted at the other person, sensing that something was amiss.

"Yeah, I'm done eating. Ghosts need to eat people to increase their strength. Look at my muscles!"

[Mouse Me] strikes a bodybuilding pose like Schwarzenegger and shows it to Chen. Blood drips from his mouth, and the corpse he carelessly threw on the ground is already frozen.

Chen glanced at him and asked, "How long have you been working here?"

"Three days? Unlike you rich people who can afford to feed a hundred people, I've saved up my wages for so long, and it's only enough to buy one [Demon Blood]!"

【Mouse Me】said sourly. Chen Lai tilted his head to look at him. This guy probably entered the game through the war preparation. He had 50,000 【Ghost Blood】, which meant he couldn't specify Blood Demon Arts. He only had the most basic ghost abilities, which he could form Blood Demon Arts from his own "desires".

"Have you felt any chills down your neck during your three days here?"

Chen Lai smiled, feeling increasingly speechless.

"No, not a single person from this mountain village escaped. Their village chief tried to go out to deliver a message yesterday, but I killed him on the way... I know what you're trying to say, nothing more than the Demon Slayer Corps. I'm very careful, there's no way they could have discovered me."

As he spoke, he took another step closer to Chen Lai. Chen Lai could see the bloodshot in his eyes and the heat rising from his body.

[Blood Demon Art - Boiling Blood: Even a rat in the gutter, when cornered, should unleash boiling blood, greatly increasing speed and attack power; the effect is doubled upon the enemy seeing blood.]

“Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, you didn’t exchange for a combat-type Blood Demon Technique, did you?” He grinned, assuming an offensive tiptoeing stance.

Chen Lai nodded calmly.

"I knew my luck was about to change... Professional money-grubbers like you can just casually spill out enough stuff for me to live on for a year!"

[Mommy Me]’s eyes gleamed red, his greed overflowing.

"You've been standing here for too long... Do you like sunbathing?" Chen Lai finally spoke, plucking a string from the pipa, but his answer was irrelevant.

[Mouse Me] was stunned. Suddenly, a dark, empty window appeared beneath his feet, and before he knew it, he had fallen down.

[Blood Demon Art (Nakome): Requires preparation time. After plucking the strings of the biwa, open the entrance to the Infinite Castle at the designated location. Plucking the strings again will release it.]

In Chen Lai's eyes, this Blood Demon Technique was equivalent to Obito Uchiha's eye technique, Kamui, from Naruto.

[Mouse Me], who was thrown into the "Infinite City" by Chen Lai, had no idea what was going on. He had power, but there was nowhere to use it in the Infinite City, so he could only keep falling downwards.

The so-called "Infinite City" is a movable city made up of attics and torii gates. Chen Lai, who uses the Blood Demon Art, can change the position and splicing method of these attics at will, and can also pull and kick people. It can be said that he is the king of this city complex!
Chen Lai stood up in the outer space, picked up his pipa and began chopping down trees. He was extremely fast and soon cleared the area where [Mouse Me] had been standing, allowing the sunlight to shine through.

After doing all this, Chen Lai jumped back onto the rock and began plucking the strings again.

In the Infinite City, [Mouse Me], who had just fallen onto the warm yellow pavilion, found himself in a hole as soon as he stepped off.

"Dragon, what the hell!" he cursed, unable to muster any brute force. His opponent clearly looked "weak," yet he couldn't touch him no matter what he did.

This feeling of frustration is genuine; I, [MouseMouse], am truly angry.

However, he quickly calmed down. The bright reddish-white sunlight shone directly, like a huge white spot abruptly appearing on the earth. Chen Lai sat in the shade, watching [Mouse Me] reappear.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

[Mommy Me] is in excruciating pain from being exposed to sunlight. This is the part of Deepsea Games that is criticized. Its pain simulation is very realistic. Although the player's real body is not damaged, it will leave a shadow on their mind.

Half of his face was already blackened by the heat; if this continued for another three seconds or so, he would die and become lost within the instance.

"No! This is the money I've painstakingly saved up, no, no!"

[Mommy Me] went berserk, covering her head with her hands and moving swiftly through the spots of light.

As long as you get into the woods, as long as you reach that place...

At the boundary between light and darkness, Chen Lai's pipa blocked his path. Chen Lai calmly swung the pipa around and struck him hard, pulling him back to the very center of the light spot.

"Without a mechanic, can you really understand how to play the game just by playing with numbers?"

"If you don't use your brain, you'll be a Lower Moon demon your whole life."

Chen Lai sneered, watching the player be destroyed by the sunlight, finally turning into blackened fragments that disappeared into nothingness.

After [Mouse Me] was destroyed, his [Blood Demon Art - Boiling Blood] formed a drop of blood, which became Chen Lai's spoils of war.

Chen Lai didn't rush to pick it up. The sun was shining brightly, and he would get hurt if he were exposed to it. Ghosts belonged to the night; daytime was not their domain.

……

Inside the Infinite Castle, the scoundrel Muzan Kibutsuji had veins bulging on his forehead and face, making his handsome face look extremely ferocious. He slammed his fist heavily on the table, causing the test tubes on the table to shatter and the medicine to spill out.

"why?"

"Why are there so many uncontrollable demons near Kyoto? Is there another demon king in Japan...? This is intolerable, absolutely intolerable!"

"I must... I must overcome my weaknesses as soon as possible. The key is that girl who can appear in the sunlight."

"Narume!"

He called upon his loyal subordinates, and with a change of tune on the pipa, Nakime knelt before Muzan.

"Call Akaza and Doma over here and have them go find the demons in the Kyoto area and find out exactly what happened."

Nakime remained silent, listening only to Muzan's voice, which was filled with anger.

"Also, the location of the Ubuyashiki family still hasn't been found?"

His gaze was sharp. If Nakime's answer didn't satisfy him, then... then he wouldn't do anything. There weren't many Upper Moons left, and Nakime's Blood Demon Art was also very important. He couldn't "lay off staff at will."

"We're still looking, Muzan-sama. The Ubuyashiki clan is always changing their clan's territory, and they always do it during the day, so demons can't track them down."

"A bunch of trash!"

Muzan snorted coldly, hating the incompetence of his subordinates.

"Hurry up and find them! If the demons in the Kyoto area don't have a master, you can make them acknowledge me as their master, and I will give them even greater power!"
