The Warrior of Love

"Ms. Tamayo, you created this?" Tanjiro was greatly surprised.

“Yes, but please don’t get me wrong, I have no intention of increasing the number of ghosts. I just ask those dying people with terminal illnesses: Do they want to live even if it means giving up their human bodies?

Moreover, in these two hundred years, I have only succeeded once, and that was with Yushiro."

The success rate is so low!

Jiang Liu frowned, then thought of another thing, and his mouth slowly opened: "Two hundred years?"

"Then... Miss Tamayo, how old are you?!" Tanjiro was surprised again.

Yushiro's forehead was bulging with veins and he could no longer bear it: "You two, don't ask such rude questions to women!"

"Ouch!"

Jiang Liu chuckled, accurately grasped Yushiro's wrist, and turned his punch invisible.

"I think what you said is also very rude to Miss Tamayo."

Really young women don’t care about this kind of problem at all, and once they care, it means...

"You, are you saying that I don't understand Lady Tamayo's feelings? Damn it!"

"You two, stop arguing. Really, Jiang Liu, don't be so competitive with Yushiro. He's still a child." Tanjiro hurriedly came forward to persuade them to stop fighting.

Yushiro almost went berserk: "Don't look down on me, I'm much older than you!"

"You three, are you going to use violence in a place where you are treating patients and saving lives?"

Tamayo narrowed her eyes and smiled kindly: "This is not what a good child would do."

Eryu & Tanjiro & Yushiro: "..."

"I understand." Jiang Liu was the first to react. He quickly let go of Yushiro and sat down upright. He was even more obedient than an elementary school student.

Yushiro nervously returned to his original position. He was more worried that Tamayo would be angry than that he was worried about being punished by her.

Tanjiro let out a long breath and looked at Tamayo seriously.

"Ms. Tamayo... Can someone who has become a demon turn back into a human?"

Chapter 40: Good Doctor

How to transform from a ghost into a human...

Tamayo glanced at Nezuko who was lying on the ground carefree, and she naturally understood what was going on, so she spoke to Tanjiro calmly and firmly.

"Have!"

Tanjiro took a deep breath, "Really?"

"No matter what disease it is, there must be a cure. Even if we can't find it now, I believe we will find a cure one day."

Tamayo said seriously: "No matter what, you should never give up hope."

"Really?" Tanjiro felt disappointed after not getting an accurate reply and only receiving some verbal comfort, but he still retained a glimmer of hope because of Tamayo's answer.

"So, although it may be difficult, it's not hopeless, right?"

"Yes." Tamayo said quietly, "We have also conducted a lot of research over the years, and Yushiro was saved because of this. But as you can see, there are only two of us, and it is difficult for us to carry out large-scale systematic experiments alone, so the progress is not ideal."

"Mr. Yushiro is a demon who is not controlled by Muzan. Is Miss Tamayo the same?" Tanjiro asked in confusion, "How did they do that?"

"The blood that turned Yushiro into a demon came from me. The reason is probably because I got rid of Muzan Kibutsu's control a long time ago."

"long, long ago?"

How long ago was it? Jiang Liu quickly shut his mouth.

It is really rude to ask a woman this kind of question!

"Well, I don't know how I did it. I just kept telling myself not to hurt humans and to be resolute in my hatred for Muzan... Before I knew it, I could no longer feel the existence of the "curse", and my desire for human flesh also decreased a lot."

Although it is still very painful - Tamayo smiled faintly.

Jiang Liu knew this kind of smile; he had just seen it on Feng not long ago.

"From what you said before, Miss Nezuko doesn't have such a strong desire for human flesh and blood. She is completely different from other ghosts. Logically speaking, if a ghost has not eaten animal or human flesh after becoming a ghost, it should fall into a state of irrational violence, but Miss Nezuko did not...

This is a special case, and it may be the hope to solve the disease (curse) of "ghost"! "

"So, how can we do this?" Tanjiro asked anxiously.

"There is no other way except to conduct a large number of experiments." Zhu Shiyou said, "If you want to find the antidote, you must have a full understanding of the "ghosts" and find a large number of experimental samples, that is, the blood of the ghosts."

"Blood?"

"Ordinary demons are of little use. If we want to get valuable results, we must at least use more advanced samples. The demons who were given more of Muzan's blood are Muzan's direct subordinates - the Twelve Demon Moons."

"Twelve Demon Moons?" It was the first time that Tanjiro heard this name.

Jiang Liu explained in a low voice: "Ghosts also have strengths and weaknesses. After eating a certain number of humans, ordinary ghosts often reach a limit and can no longer become stronger by eating humans. No matter how strong this kind of ghost is, there will be a limit, but the Twelve Ghost Months are different.

Their talents in this area are extraordinary than those of ordinary people. They have been given more blood by Muzan, and the upper limit of their strength is much stronger than that of ordinary ghosts.

Tanjiro, the strongest ghosts you and I have encountered before are nothing more than the hand ghost and the swamp ghost, but these guys are like scum compared to the twelve demon moons. "

"Scum?" Tanjiro was shocked. After all, in his opinion, the hand demons were still very powerful.

"The Twelve Demon Moons are ranked into Upper Moon and Lower Moon according to their strength, and you probably can't even beat the weakest of the Twelve Demon Moons right now." Jiang Liu warned half-jokingly.

"So let's focus on the more powerful ghosts first, and forget about the top twelve ghosts."

"Oh..." Tanjiro nodded, but a hint of unwillingness could still be seen on his face.

Tamayo looked at Jiang Liu in surprise. Although she didn't expect that the current Tanjiro could deal with the Twelve Kizuki (besides, it was impossible to meet them by chance), she just gave him a target, but she didn't expect that Jiang Liu knew the Twelve Kizuki so well.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Liu changed the subject: "But if we join forces, it may not be the case."

"what?"

"what?"

"Tanjiro, Ms. Tamayo..." Jiang Liuzheng sat up straight and said to the two of them sincerely.

"Please let me lend you a helping hand!"

"Jiang Liujun, you..."

"Don't be surprised, Tanjiro. You have a reason to defeat Muzan and save your loved ones, and I also have a reason... for having to do this."

Jiang Liu took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, and asked Zhu Shi.

"Doctor, can you restore a human being parasitized by blood vampire magic?"

"This……"

Jiang Liu told Zhu Shi all the details about Jiang Feng's situation. Jiang Liu almost reported his teacher's measurements, but he stopped himself when he remembered that there were two men next to him. However, Zhu Shi did get enough information.

Then the experienced female doctor concluded -

It shouldn’t be difficult!

This conclusion made Jiang Liu, who had been worried all the time, breathe a sigh of relief.

"Parasitic vampire magic of infant embryos? Such cases are indeed extremely rare, but I have seen similar cases before."

Tamayo recalled: "Once upon a time, there was a demon who specifically targeted pregnant women. He planted his blood demon art into the pregnant woman's belly, unknowingly transforming the fetus into his favorite "fruit", and then when it matured... Although the demon was finally defeated, it also left behind many terrifying folk legends."

This point was not mentioned in the original book, but according to what Jiang Liu learned, in ancient Japan in this world, the truth behind many monster legends was that evil spirits were rampant.

I wonder how many of the so-called "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" and "Eight Million Gods" are shadows of Muzan and his men?

"This parasitic blood vampire magic seems to be unsolvable, but in fact it has a fatal weakness and is far weaker than we imagined. There is a very simple way to solve it."

Jiang Liu asked in surprise: "How to do it?"

Tamayo smiled and said, "Just kill the mother."

Jiang Liu: “…”

Of course, Zhu Shi’s treatment plan was definitely not to kill Feng directly. After some explanation, Jiang Liu finally understood what she meant.

The answer is fake death!

The so-called "parasitism" is based on the host's survival, and this is even more true for the "embryo". The reason why sunlight cannot kill the embryo is because it is protected in disguise by the mother, that is, the beacon.

But on the other hand, if the mother dies, the embryo will lose its support and will either die or leave the mother early.

Tamayo's idea was to put Feng into a state of suspended animation, deceiving the fetus's perception and allowing it to "fall off (be born)" from Feng's body on its own, as naturally as a leaf leaving a tree.

However, the normal "suspended death" state will not work.

Because even if there is no breathing and pulse, or even dilated pupils... these cannot deceive the fetus.

It may look like a dead body to humans, but the fetus is connected to Feng in a more intimate way and will still instinctively absorb nutrients from Feng.

If you want to create a false death that can even deceive the fetus, you need extremely special drugs to assist with strong psychological suggestion.

Tamayo's blood demon art uses her own blood to emit hallucinogenic gases, one of which can make people have a nearly real death experience and put the body into a state of suspended animation.

In addition, if combined with the medicine she prepared, it can temporarily interrupt the process of the fetus absorbing nutrients.

The fetus, deprived of nutrients, would probably, driven by the instinct for survival, gradually separate its body from Feng's spine in an attempt to be "born".

At that time, it can be removed through a simple operation, eliminating the problem forever!

Chapter 41: Attack

"If that's the case, I'd be very grateful!"

Jiang Liu said very seriously: "I will do my best to help you collect the ghost blood."

"It seems that you cherish your teacher very much." Zhu Shi looked at Jiang Liu with softer eyes.

"Uh, just so-so." Jiang Liu glanced at Yu Shilang who was sitting upright next to him.

Compared to someone else, I'm just average!

Don’t be fooled by this child’s serious look. In fact, he is always thinking “Lady Tamayo is so beautiful today”, “Lady Tamayo will be even more beautiful tomorrow”, “The scheming Lady Tamayo is also beautiful” - such terrible things!

There is no doubt that Yushiro's filial piety has deteriorated and turned into a psychological mother-control cult. In this respect, Jiang Liu cannot be compared with him.

"But you must be careful. The power of the Twelve Demon Moons is completely different from that of other demons. Even if you are all powerful swordsmen, you must not take it lightly." Tamayo reminded kindly.

"Well, we understand!" Tanjiro said loudly, "But as long as we work together, there will be no problem! Besides, Jiang Liu is stronger than me, and it will be much simpler if he is willing to help."

Jiang Liu smiled modestly: "My body is just a little stronger than that of an ordinary person."

Having said that, he was quite proud of himself.

He is not absolutely sure about the Upper Ranks because he has only watched the animation and does not know their strength.

But from some information and comments I learned on the Internet in my previous life, as well as Muzan’s attitude towards the Lower Moons, there is definitely an insurmountable chasm between the Upper and Lower Moons!

Muzan could abandon the Lower Ranks because they were useless, or even clean them up in one go, but he did not take action against the Upper Ranks, proving that even in the heart of him, the Demon King, the Upper Ranks were rare talents.

It is said that in a one-on-one situation, the Upper Ranks have an absolute advantage over the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps.

This alone made Jiang Liu more alert to the upper ranks. After all, even now, he couldn't say that he could definitely defeat a certain pillar...

However, the situation is different for the Lower Moons. In the anime, Tanjiro exploded despite being seriously injured and forced a Lower Moon into a desperate situation, and the current Water Pillar killed the opponent in seconds.

Jiang Liu estimated that with his current strength, various little tricks and powerful weapons like the Undying Slash, he should have no problem defeating a Lower Moon... right?

No matter what, we still have to wait until the actual battle to be sure.

While talking to Tamayo and Tanjiro, and occasionally teasing Nezuko who was playing bored, Jiang Liu was trying hard to recall the "plot" in his heart and look for opportunities to fight.

Although I can't remember it clearly, Tanjiro should encounter a few more demons with blood demon arts after this, a guy who was eliminated from the Twelve Kizuki, and the current Lower Moon of the Twelve Kizuki.

The one that impressed Jiang Liu the most was not the current Twelve Demon Moons, but the one who was eliminated, because that demon's blood demon art was very special, and the voice actor was the same as his favorite Type-Moon character "Red A", which made him always think of something wrong when watching it.

Having said that, in the real world, the voices of "plot characters" like Tanjiro are actually very similar to the voice actors in Jiang Liu's memory. I don't know if it's some quantum theory of the mutual influence of parallel worlds that is at work.

Or maybe, Jiang Liu's memory was simply fuzzy, and he felt it was very similar psychologically...

"When is the next battle?"

Jiang Liu thought about it carefully, his brows gradually furrowed.

"The scene that left the deepest impression on me was that Yushiro seemed to lose half of his head... So it happened here? But when? Tonight? Tomorrow?"

Just as Jiang Liu frowned, Tanjiro beside him suddenly stopped moving and his face instantly became serious. Then, Jiang Liu also looked stunned, his eyes were cold and he put his hand on the sword at his waist.
