Please call me Cyber ​​Demon King

"Sa!"

Just as Ke Ling was cleaning the bloodstains on her hands, a strange noise made her tense up.

"Who?!"

Turning to look at the source of the sound, Ke Ling was taken aback.

Under the moonlight, a girl stood on a not-so-thick branch, quietly watching Ke Ling, her purple pupils seemingly glowing faintly in the darkness.

She had black hair with bangs that faded to purple at the ends. She wore a curly hairstyle, a combination of Western-style braids and Japanese-style buns that had been popular for twenty or thirty years. She wore a butterfly hair accessory at the back of her hair, the main body of which was mint green with dark purple edges. Underneath, she wore a black outfit that resembled a school uniform, and over it, she wore a haori with a butterfly wing pattern.

Why did you kill these monkeys?

The girl spoke, her gaze sweeping over the surrounding monkey carcasses, her eyes filled with curiosity.

This was the first time she had ever witnessed a ghost hunting a creature other than a human, which made her suppress her disgust and want to ask what the ghost was doing.

"Because they attacked the villages below the mountain, I rid the people of this scourge?"

As Ke Ling spoke, he felt a sweat breaking out on his back, because the girl's "school uniform" gave him a sense of familiarity.

Whenever he felt this sense of familiarity, it was never a good thing. In his memory, it seemed that Tanjiro Kamado would wear this kind of clothes from then on.

In the dead of night, a young woman with a weapon at her waist calmly asked him questions after seeing a pile of monkey carcasses and this monster. She was clearly not a "student".

Ke Ling knew that this girl must be a "demon slayer," a human who specializes in hunting creatures like him, just like the "demon slayer" that Kamado Tanjiro encountered.

"Pfft~"

Upon hearing Ke Ling's words, the girl covered her mouth with one hand and couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if she had heard something funny.

"Are you joking?"

The girl smiled, but her hand had already reached for the hilt of the knife at her waist.

"Wait a minute! Please allow me to explain. I am not the kind of ghost you think I am. I have never eaten people. I was only turned into a ghost a couple of days ago. I can survive without eating people. You can see for yourself."

Seeing that the young female demon hunter's hand had already touched the hilt of her knife, Ke Ling's mouth immediately spouted like a machine gun, "Dude, you really are a law-abiding citizen!"

As he spoke, he once again put on a "hand-biting show," biting his forearm and then swallowing it.

""

The ghost-hunting girl was clearly stunned for a moment. Although she was only 16 years old this year, she was quite knowledgeable and had killed a lot of ghosts, but she had never seen such a scene before.

"You're quite interesting."

Shinobu Kocho commented on the demon's outrageous actions.

Without hesitation, she drew her sword and leaped down from the tree branch, her haori unfurling in the air like a butterfly dancing in the moonlight.

Please read my new book! It's really important! Thank you so much, dear readers!

Chapter 8 Initiating the Time Travel

"Pfft!"

Caught off guard, Ke Ling had no time to react before the ghost-hunting girl pierced his neck.

This ghost-hunting girl's speed was beyond that of ordinary people; not to mention ordinary people, even the ghost Ke Ling couldn't react at all.

It was so fast that Ke Ling didn't even have a chance to "activate the time travel" technique. One second he was still opening his mouth to speak, and the next second his neck was pierced.

However, being stabbed in the neck is not enough to kill Ke Ling; it's not even a serious injury for him.

The demon-hunting girl's weapon was less of a knife and more of a rapier-like object, with a slender blade and a small barb at the tip.

This weapon is clearly better suited for piercing than slashing, and the demon-hunting girl's attack method is indeed piercing.

Having narrowly escaped death, Ke Ling was startled. He found it strange that this ghost-hunting girl, who was so skilled, didn't even know how to kill a ghost.

"You can't kill a ghost like that."

Ke Ling didn't damage his vocal cords, so he made a sarcastic remark.

But as soon as he said those words, Ke Ling immediately realized that they shouldn't be taken as a provocation.

Upon hearing Ke Ling's words, the ghost-hunting girl was visibly stunned, clearly taken aback by Ke Ling's words.

"You're really funny. Are you teaching me how to kill ghosts?"

A smile bloomed on the ghost-hunting girl's face. She stood in front of Ke Ling, tilted her head slightly, and began to communicate with him.

The girl was very short, Ke Ling estimated she was no more than 1.5 meters tall, and she was very thin, looking as if she could float away with a breath, no wonder she was so fast.

Standing before Ke Ling, whose height, including the horns on his head, had exceeded two meters after his demon transformation, she appeared even smaller.

The scene was strange: a little girl was standing in front of a hellish demon, but it was the hellish demon that was in mortal danger.

"Uh, I wouldn't dare say that. I've never killed a ghost. In fact, I've only ever seen two ghosts so far."

Ke Ling summoned the [Limit System] and switched to the [World Page]. He was ready to travel through time and escape at any moment.

He had already realized that the ghost-hunting girl in front of him wasn't ignorant of how to kill ghosts; she simply wanted to tease him.

"Oh? Which two?"

The demon-hunting girl still wore a smile, just as Ke Ling had expected; she didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill Ke Ling.

"One is the Ghost King who turned me into a ghost, and the other is a little girl who stays by my brother's side and doesn't eat people."

Ke Ling looked at the ghost-hunting girl in front of him and said slowly, "The girl's smile is obviously fake, and the disgust for ghosts in her purple eyes cannot be hidden at all."

"Really? Could you please tell me what the Ghost King looks like?"

Ke Ling's words did not cause a change in the ghost-hunting girl's expression; she remained smiling.

This made Ke Ling's heart sink. He realized that his words had not aroused the interest of the ghost-hunting girl at all, but instead made her think that he was lying.

Are there really that many ghosts that don't eat people? And two of them suddenly appeared? That doesn't sound very believable. The fact that there are ghosts that don't eat people is already hard enough to believe.

"The Ghost King was a handsome young man of medium height, with sickly pale skin and bloodshot eyes, dressed in Western clothes."

Ke Ling described the image of Muzan Kibutsuji, but he felt that the demon-hunting girl in front of him didn't seem to believe it at all.

"That's great."

The smiling ghost-hunting girl sheathed her sword and clapped her hands in surprise, seemingly praising Ke Ling, but her expression was obviously fake and her tone was devoid of emotion.

Her actions left Ke Ling somewhat puzzled. Was there something wrong with what she said?

"You are the first ghost I have ever met who can tell me information related to the Ghost King."

As soon as the ghost-hunting girl said those words, Ke Ling's expression changed instantly; he seemed to know what the problem was.

Ordinary demons might not be able to provide any information related to the "Demon King" Muzan Kibutsuji, otherwise these demon slayers would probably already know.

However, ordinary demons cannot do it, but Ke Ling is not ordinary. He broke free from Muzan Kibutsuji's control, so he can do it. There is no problem with the logic.

The problem is, the ghost-hunting girl in front of her doesn't think that way. She doesn't think that Ke Ling is extraordinary; she only thinks that Ke Ling is lying to her.

Unfortunately, the two sides have unequal access to information, and the missing information is crucial.

"So, how did you do that?"

The smile on the ghost-hunting girl's face became increasingly fake. She was convinced that the ghost in front of her was lying. Of course, she hadn't thought the ghost would tell the truth at first.

In order to survive, ghosts will tell any lie. She was already used to it. They say nice things, but in reality, they are monsters that will even eat their own relatives in order to survive.

Even for ghosts, the taste of their loved ones is more delicious and nutritious.

"Wait a minute, I think there might be some misunderstanding."

Ke Ling tensed up. Even when Tanjiro Kamado encountered a demon slayer who wanted to kill Nezuko Kamado right away, he was able to turn enemies into friends. But why couldn't he explain things to this demon slayer who was willing to communicate with him?

Clearly, Ke Ling didn't understand the extent of the girl's aversion to demons; even Nezuko Kamado was only accepted by her with great difficulty.

As for Tamayo and Yushiro, who also escaped the control of the Demon King, no matter how much she helped them, she still hated them.

If Tanjiro and Nezuko had encountered this demon-slaying girl instead of Giyu Tomioka at the beginning, Nezuko would probably have been killed by her.

"I was hoping to get along well with you, but you lied to me. What a pity! Lying devils get punished, you know."

The ghost-hunting girl clapped her hands, showing no intention of listening to Ke Ling anymore. Her smile remained unchanged, as if even the curve of her smile hadn't changed, but her eyes grew colder and colder.

"Grass!"

Ke Ling couldn't help but swear, and then he chose "Activate Time Travel" without hesitation.

This demon hunter never intended to communicate properly from the beginning, which is actually normal, since humans and demons are different. It's really too naive to think that you can have a peaceful exchange with someone who is naturally hostile to you.

How did Tanjiro Kamado manage that? Is the protagonist's halo really that effective?

"Sa!"

Shinobu Kocho drew her sword and flashed past the spot where Ke Ling had just been.

"Huh? What happened?"

The feeling of being pierced through the air was very obvious. When Shinobu turned around, the demon had already disappeared, vanished into thin air.

"Is it Blood Demon Magic?"

Shinobu became alert, but the demonic aura had disappeared; the creature seemed to have vanished.

"They really messed things up!"

The girl's smile finally disappeared. She was somewhat helpless; this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

"I should have released more toxins in the first strike."

Of course, she knew how to kill ghosts. "Piercing" was her method of killing ghosts. Her knife was specially made so that it could inject wisteria flower toxin into the ghost's body.

Wisteria is a very special plant; its sap is deadly to ghosts, but has no effect on humans.

"Let's look around nearby, maybe they haven't gone far."

Shinobu Kocho did not give up; she began searching the surrounding area for any trace of the demon.

When she made her first move, she only released a very small amount of unmixed, ordinary toxin. She did not intend to kill the ghost; the amount was so small that it might not even have any effect on the ghost.

She did find that ghost quite interesting. Of all the ghosts she had encountered, the way that ghost struggled to its death was definitely the most creative; that guy actually thought of eating himself.

"Thinking about it this way, the creative way of struggling to survive is indeed very useful. It really helped the ghost escape."
