Simultaneous time travel: But our system is out of sync!
Chapter 68 People Die for Money
Crow's tail feathers?
whistle?
crow!
A hawk!
Looking at the two items placed on the table.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in Lin Bei's mind.
If we're talking about anything in the Demon Slayer world that can be related to crow tail feathers and whistles...
Then there's only one thing.
A hawk!
These are amazing animals that look a lot like crows, but are smarter than crows, and some can even talk to people.
It is a magical creature specially bred by the Shiki family for communication with the Demon Slayer Corps.
It is unique to the Demon Slayer Corps.
But once one problem was solved, two more problems arose.
First, how could Lady Rose, as the head of a civilian demon-slaying organization, possess something exclusive to the Demon Slayer Corps like the Kasugai Crow?
Even if Urokodaki Sakonji is supporting him, it's still unlikely.
Second, how did Lady Rose determine that Lin Bei could associate the crow's tail feathers and whistle with the raven and thus find her?
Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Lin Bei's eyes.
Or perhaps Lady Rose had another purpose in preparing these two items?
That is, like the bounty on the Eye-Ear Ghost, it is also a test and a trial.
However, the bounty offered by the Eye-Ear Ghost was a test of his strength.
These two items are a test of whether Lin Bei is truly one of their own.
After all, only members of the Demon Slayer Corps could associate the crow's tail feathers with the Kasugai-rabbit.
Lin Bei shook his head slightly, thinking to himself.
"Madam Rose, if this is indeed the test you're testing me, just as I suspected."
"Then I think you've miscalculated."
"After all, although I can associate these two things with Kasugai-raven, I'm not a member of the Demon Slayer Corps."
"Because I'm a time traveler, I only know some of the plot."
"Although I'm not a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, in some ways we really are on the same side."
Thinking about this, Lin Bei couldn't help but sigh.
Sometimes things just happen by chance.
The method was wrong, the process was wrong, but the result was right.
To verify his idea, Lin Bei did not linger among the roses.
He took the two things that Lady Rose had left him and went out.
As soon as he left the Rose House, two groups of people left the Rose House one after the other.
And the direction they left in was exactly the same as the direction Lin Bei left in.
As the two groups of people left, many people in the Rose House looked conflicted.
As fellow hunters, how could they not know what those two groups were up to?
It was nothing more than seeing Lin Bei's bounty of two hundred gold coins, which made him envious and ruthless, and he wanted to kill someone to steal the money.
They're just sitting here, not doing anything.
Not everyone wanted the two hundred gold coins in Lin Bei's hands.
Aside from a small minority who were genuinely uninterested, most others wanted to let others go first, and then decide based on the situation.
Some of them are cautious and prudent in their actions, and after weighing the pros and cons, they didn't dare to take action.
The rest are those who have the desire to steal but lack the courage, yet are unwilling to give up.
They wanted others to go first, and then they would decide based on the situation.
Actually, things like this happen quite often at Rose House.
After all, we're all people who risk our lives.
He might die at any time.
Rose House will have someone specifically assigned to handle the matter of someone who does such a thing.
Therefore, this kind of thing has not become widespread.
But people have still developed a habit of living for the moment.
When not taking on bounty missions, they either indulge in debauchery or live a life of hedonism.
Whether it's living for the moment or indulging in a life of debauchery, both require money.
After all, the drinks and food at the Rose House are served free of charge.
But the free food was only for filling one's stomach, and the free drinks were only for quenching thirst.
If you want fine food and wine, you'll need to pay extra.
Not to mention the biggest expense at the Rose House.
This is a weapon specifically designed to kill ghosts.
It's said to be a special weapon that requires special minerals to make.
It's fair to say that you make money in Rose House, but you can't take a single penny home.
So these hunters may seem to earn a lot, but they actually spend even more.
And today, the gleaming two hundred gold coins are right in front of us.
Although the holder is Lin Bei, who just completed the bounty on the Eye-Ear Ghost.
But as the saying goes, people die for wealth, and birds die for food.
Even knowing that Lin Bei might be a very capable person, people still have a sense of wishful thinking.
What if Lin Bei is actually all show and no substance?
What if Lin Bei expends a lot of energy in the battle with the Eye-Eared Ghost?
If so many of them swarm in and manage to take down Lin Bei, that would be a great success.
What if they succeed?
just in case……
They all thought that as long as they could get this money, they wouldn't have to keep risking their lives for it.
To live out the rest of my life peacefully and steadily.
But no one was willing to think about what would happen if they failed.
Perhaps they never even considered the possibility of failure.
As soon as Lin Bei stepped out, he realized that someone was following him.
At the same time, he also knew very well why these people followed him.
After all, our ancestors once said something like this.
Wealth should not be flaunted, and nobility should not be pursued alone.
Lin Bei not only flaunted his wealth at the Rose House earlier, but he is now acting alone.
If he isn't remembered, then who will?
After discovering that he was being followed, Lin Bei not only did not make a fuss, but also deliberately went to sparsely populated, desolate and secluded places.
However, Lin Bei did this not intentionally targeting the people who were following him.
With Lin Bei's current strength, these people are not worth him deliberately targeting.
He went to a remote place mainly to verify his previous idea.
After all, if it really is a raven, it would be too conspicuous for him to talk to a raven in public.
Just as Lin Bei was being followed by two teams of ten people, they were walking in increasingly remote areas.
Those following Lin Bei also noticed something was wrong.
After all, they were people who lived on the edge of a knife; they were just blinded by money, not stupid or blind.
After following for a while, they realized that Lin Bei was going further and further astray.
They immediately realized that Lin Bei might have already discovered them and was deliberately leading them into a secluded area.
And their goal, like theirs, is to eliminate the other party without attracting attention.
But how can we say that people die for wealth and birds die for food?
Even though they had clearly noticed something was wrong, none of the ten people in the two teams backed down halfway.
They all followed behind Lin Bei with greedy expressions.
No one realized that they were on a dead end.
When he felt it was about time, Lin Bei stopped and turned around to speak to those behind him.
"You've been following us for so long, it's about time you came out!"
"After all, if we keep following them, it'll get dark soon."
"When the time comes, I'll disappear into the woods, and you won't be able to find me."
Upon hearing this, both teams frowned, realizing that Lin Bei was right.
The mountains here are high and the forests are dense. If Lin Bei really manages to sneak in, these few people really won't be able to stop him.
So they appeared and subtly surrounded Lin Bei.
However, Lin Bei remained completely calm.
Instead, they leisurely counted the number of people.
One, two, three...
