The Heavens: One World, One Superpower

Urokodaki Sakonji said, "Now that the Nichirin Blade has been delivered, you should head to the Demon Slayer Corps branch to await orders."

Su Chen nodded.

I came back this time because it will take half a month to forge the Nichirin sword.

Therefore, you can rest for half a month.

Having taken the Nichirin Blade, he was to return to his assigned Demon Slayer Corps branch.

exactly.

He was assigned to the Water Division this time.

That is, the department that my senior, Yoshiyuki Tomioka, is in charge of.

It is responsible for the area encompassing three towns in the west.

The branch office is located in Dinggao City.

Su Chen said, "Mr. Linlong, I will be setting off now. Please take care of yourself."

Urokodaki Sakonji said, "Go."

Su Chen looked at Tanjiro and Senjuro and said, "You two should also hurry up and practice your swordsmanship so that you can participate in the Fujikasane Mountain Trial next year."

Tanjiro nodded and said, "I will definitely work hard, and I hope to be able to fight alongside Tatsumi next year."

Senjuro also said, "We will definitely live up to Mr. Urokodaki and Brother Chen's expectations."

Su Chen carried the Nichirin Blade.

We set off on our journey to Dinggao City.

The Water Branch is located in a mansion in the city.

It covers a very large area.

Enter a spacious mansion that serves as an office.

There were twenty hidden team members in the office.

A girl walked over and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"I am Su Chen, the newly appointed swordsman here."

"So it's Mr. Su. Lord Shuizhu has already told us that you will be arriving at the branch soon. My name is Yuan Shizuka, and I've come to introduce you to the branch."

Shizuka Minamoto?

It does have the same name as the one I remember.

This girl is also very sweet.

Fair skin.

Her facial features are exquisite.

He is about 1.65 meters tall.

Because they were hidden members, they did not practice breathing techniques.

Through the introduction, Su Chen learned that she was eighteen years old this year, had been a member of the Hidden Members for three years, and was responsible for organizing intelligence.

"This area is the intelligence office, and the wooden shelf near the window is where the ravens perch."

Shizuka introduced Su Chen to the situation.

She pointed to the side near the window.

Many wooden frames were erected.

The windows were deliberately arranged in a row that was over ten meters long.

This allows ravens to fly in and perch on the wooden frame.

"There are twenty hidden members in the office, most of whom are responsible for organizing, analyzing, summarizing, compiling, and reporting intelligence. Through analysis, they determine where ghosts may appear, and then issue missions through the Kasugai Crow. Unless it is an extremely serious incident, such as the death of more than ten people, it must be reported to Lord Water Pillar."

"After Lord Water Pillar's assessment, we will assign appropriate swordsmen to deal with the situation, or Lord Water Pillar will take action himself."

Su Chen followed Jingxiang to a location where unusual events were listed.

A blackboard hangs on the wall.

The document was filled with densely written descriptions of unusual events occurring within the three city limits.

Su Chen glanced at it and was shocked by what he saw.

There were more than 300 unusual events.

Examples include the "village annihilation incident," the "missing girl incident," and the "missing fishermen incident."

Densely packed.

Most of them involved the disappearance or death of three or four people.

Some had dozens or even hundreds of people.

Su Chen pointed to the "village annihilation incident" and asked, "Has Senior Brother Yiyong already gone to handle this matter?"

Shizuka nodded and said, "Three days ago, after Upper Moon Two was killed by the combined forces of the Ten Pillars, a large number of demon-eating incidents broke out in the surrounding areas. Such village-annihilation cases are rare, occurring only once every few years, but now they seem to be happening more frequently. Lord Water Pillar has already gone to investigate. Currently, the Water Branch is short-handed with swordsmen, and although you just arrived today, I'm afraid you'll be assigned a task soon."

Su Chen nodded and said, "It's alright. I also want to take on a mission as soon as possible so I can slay the evil spirits."
