Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Cooldown time: None

Note: Isn't this just invisibility? Bathhouse, bathhouse...

Judging from the skill attributes of "Eye Concealment", the attack power of this skill is almost zero, but its support ability is very strong.

The ability that Suzuki Seimei valued most was the ability to apply the power of "Eye Vision" to talismans, thus allowing the wearer of the talisman to share vision.

In the original story, during the final battle between the Demon Slayer Corps and Muzan Kibutsuji, they were able to form a united front from a distance thanks to the talisman created by Yushiro, which allowed all members to share a vision. Otherwise, they would have been defeated one by one by the Upper Moon demons long ago.

Moreover, to some extent, the "Eye Concealment" skill, which can interfere with the target's vision, is actually equivalent to the "Invisibility Technique." And what man could refuse to practice the "Invisibility Technique"?

In addition, Suzuki Seimei noticed something interesting: whether it was the "Size Ruyi" skill he signed in from Nezuko or the skills he signed in from Tamayo and Yushiro, the skills consumed physical strength, not mental strength.

Chapter 494 The Tragedy of Killing One's Beloved

If Suzuki Seimei is not mistaken, the reason these skills consume physical strength rather than mental strength is mainly due to the influence of the cannibals.

In the world of Demon Slayer, the origin of all cannibals can be traced back to the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji.

Muzan Kibutsuji was originally human, but he mutated into a cannibal during treatment for a terminal illness.

Therefore, cannibals are fundamentally different from ghosts and monsters; they are more like mutants such as Dr. Lizard or the Hulk.

Judging from the fact that the more humans a cannibal eats, the stronger it becomes, they devour humans in order to accumulate more physical strength.

Only with sufficient physical strength can one unleash more powerful Blood Demon Arts and maintain strong regenerative abilities.

That is why the skills that Suzuki Seimei obtained from the cannibals naturally required physical strength, not mental strength.

Meanwhile, led by Tamayo and Yushiro, Suzuki Seimei and his companions soon arrived at a dead end.

"I...I've already been transported!"

Under Tanjiro's incredulous gaze, Tamayo and Yushiro led the innocent couple through the wall in front of them.

"What are you three still standing there for?"

Yushiro's head suddenly popped out from inside the wall, and he waved impatiently at Suzuki Seimei and the others, saying, "Hurry up and come in!"

"oh oh."

Tanjiro nodded subconsciously, tentatively stretched out his left foot and scratched it on the wall in front of him. After confirming that it was really just an illusion, he took Suzuki Seimei and Nezuko's hands and walked inside.

After passing through the fake wall, a luxurious two-story mansion appeared before Suzuki Seimei and his companions.

"There's a mansion behind the dead-end alley!"

Staring at the luxurious mansion before him, Tanjiro's eyes widened, revealing a dumbfounded expression.

Suzuki Seimei, however, remained remarkably calm, his gaze fixed on the strangely patterned talisman above the gate of the luxurious mansion.

It is obvious that the talisman above the gate is an illusion talisman created by Yushiro using his Blood Demon Art.

Although this kind of illusion spell still has many flaws, it is more than enough to fool ordinary people.

If it weren't for the illusionary spells created by Yushiro, it wouldn't have been so easy for Tamayo and the others to live in seclusion in such a bustling city.

"Please wait here for a moment while I treat this lady's wound."

Tamayo first greeted Suzuki Seimei and the others, then turned to Yushiro and said, "Yushiro, while he's still unconscious, go and lock him in the dungeon!"

"Yes, Lady Tamayo."

Upon hearing this, Yushiro quickly picked up the unconscious cannibal and led him into the dungeon.

Since Tamayo broke free from Muzan Kibutsuji's control, she has been researching drugs that can counteract Muzan Kibutsuji in order to kill the culprit who caused the destruction of her family.

Therefore, over the past few centuries, Tamayo has also captured many cannibals that wreaked havoc on humanity and imprisoned them in dungeons to be used as experimental subjects for drug research.

This man, who was turned into a cannibal by Muzan Kibutsuji, is completely innocent, but in order to prevent him from harming others, he still needs to be imprisoned.

Apart from Nezuko and Yushiro, other humans who are transformed into cannibals cannot control their instinct to eat people, and often the first to suffer harm are their relatives.

Take, for example, Tamayo, who lived hundreds of years ago. Although her medical skills were superb, she unfortunately contracted an incurable disease.

In order to see her child grow up, Tamayo, under the influence of Muzan Kibutsuji, used his blood to transform herself into a cannibal.

As a result, Tamayo, who turned into a cannibal, killed her husband and child with her own hands when she lost control of herself.

Therefore, Tamayo hates Muzan Kibutsuji more than anyone else. Her only purpose in living to this day is to eliminate Muzan Kibutsuji, even if it means mutual destruction!

"Oh!"

Just as Tamayo was healing the lady, Nezuko suddenly kicked her legs and fell onto the living room carpet, rolling around on it like a kitten.

Seeing this, Tanjiro quickly whispered a reminder: "Nezuko, you can't do that. That's very impolite."

Noticing the commotion, Tamayo smiled gently and said, "It's alright, you don't need to be too reserved here. Just make yourself at home."

Although Tamayo looks very young, she is actually over 500 years old.

In Tamayo's eyes, both Tanjiro and Nezuko were just children, just like Suzuki Seimei.

Despite being a mother herself, Tamayo still maintains a strong maternal instinct and has a particularly high tolerance for children.

"Uuuuuuu..."

Perhaps feeling bored rolling around on the carpet alone, Nezuko rolled around Suzuki Seimei once, then reached out and pulled him into her arms, and they rolled around on the carpet together.

ε=(′ο｀*))) Sigh...

Seeing this, Tanjiro shook his head helplessly.

Since Nezuko became a cannibal, her IQ has dropped to that of a three- or four-year-old child, and her behavior has become noticeably childish.

Seimei really had a tough time!

Meanwhile, Muzan Kibutsuji, who had parted ways with Tanjiro, first made an excuse to send his wife and daughter home, and then went alone into a dark alley.

Of course!

The wife and daughter that Muzan Kibutsuji sent away under various pretexts were not his real wife and daughter, but rather the wife and daughter he was impersonating.

To facilitate his integration into the human world, Muzan Kibutsuji kills a human every so often, then impersonates that person and takes their place.

As for how long it will take for Muzan Kibutsuji to live under a new identity, that depends entirely on when his identity is exposed.

Normally, Muzan Kibutsuji would wait until his wife and daughter saw through his disguise before killing them and then taking on a new identity.

However, since Muzan Kibutsuji's current identity has already been exposed by Tanjiro, he will have no choice but to adopt a new identity in advance.

"Brother, let's find another place to drink!"

As soon as Muzan Kibutsuji stepped into the dark alley, he was met by a short, drunkard who reeked of alcohol and staggered as he walked.

Chapter 495 There are always people who like to dance on graves

"Xiao Ba, are you alright?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not drunk..."

The short, drunkard swayed and waved his hand as he bumped into Muzan Kibutsuji, who was walking towards him.

Before Muzan could even get angry, the short, drunkard grabbed Muzan's collar and yelled, his breath reeking, "You bastard, can't you watch where you're going?"

"boom!!!"

Already enraged, Muzan Kibutsuji was not going to tolerate this kind of drunkard who liked to dance on graves. He simply raised his right hand and swung it lightly, smashing the short drunkard's head.

"You damned bastard! What did you do to my brother?!"

The bald, burly man accompanying the short, drunkard, perhaps still intoxicated, showed no fear upon seeing the short, drunkard's gruesome death. Instead, he angrily swung his fist at Muzan Kibutsuji.

"Bang!!!"

Just as the bald giant's fist was about to smash into Muzan Kibutsuji's face, he suddenly raised his right foot and kicked out with all his might, smashing the bald giant into countless pieces of flesh and blood, turning the alley in front of him into a bloody hell.

"Ah ah ah..."

The hostess who was with the two men was terrified when she saw this and could only instinctively let out a shrill scream.

"It's noisy!"

A cold glint flashed in Muzan Kibutsuji's eyes. He raised his right hand and flicked it lightly. His index finger instantly transformed into a long whip with a sharp blade, piercing through the hostess's head and restoring tranquility to the dark alley.

"clatter!"

After casually killing three clueless humans, Muzan Kibutsuji's anger and fear subsided somewhat, and he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

"Huh! Huh!"

The two cannibals appeared behind Muzan Kibutsuji as if by teleportation, kneeling on one knee and awaiting his orders with utmost respect.

"Go and bring me back the head of that demon hunter who had that flower-like decoration on his ear!"

Because Yoriichi Tsugikuni left such a deep psychological scar on Muzan Kibutsuji, even though Tanjiro's aura was weak, he didn't dare to risk attacking him. Instead, he planned to send two man-eating demons to test his strength first.

"As ordered!"

Upon hearing this, the two cannibals nodded vigorously and then vanished from the spot.

A red glint flashed in Muzan Kibutsuji's eyes as he muttered to himself, "It's a pity that none of the Twelve Demon Moons are nearby; otherwise, it would have been safer to send them."

The Twelve Demon Moons are Muzan Kibutsuji's twelve direct subordinates, all of whom were man-eating demons who gained immense power by being personally given thick blood by him.

The Twelve Demon Moons are divided into Upper Moon and Lower Moon, and are ranked solely according to their strength, from one to six in sequence. The higher the ranking of the demon, the stronger it is. However, the difference in power between Upper Moon and Lower Moon demons is enormous.

Every Upper Moon demon possesses the power to kill a Pillar-level swordsman in the Demon Slayer Corps. Even the weakest Upper Moon, Upper Moon Six, Daki, has killed seven Pillars in a hundred years, not to mention the rest of the Upper Moons.

Tanjiro, a demon slayer who hasn't even mastered Total Concentration Breathing, could be easily killed by any low-ranking demon, let alone an upper-level demon.

Luxury mansion lobby

"Ms. Tamayo, is there a way to turn a demon back into a human?"

After Tamayo finished treating the lady's injuries, Tanjiro finally couldn't help but ask the question he cared about most.

Facing Tanjiro's expectant yet apprehensive gaze, Tamayo nodded earnestly and said, "Yes!"
