The perverted knight also wants to protect the world

"Of course. A hundred years ago, the demons were completely wiped out by the bloody battle of the Demon Slayer Corps. How could it be..." Kyubey said seriously.

Since there are evil ghosts that eat people, there must be ghost slayers who hunt down evil ghosts.

The Demon Slayer Corps is such a group. In the dark night when it is not conducive to fighting, they wield the Nichirin sword in their hands and fight against evil spirits with their mortal flesh and blood, protecting innocent people from the harm of evil spirits.

A hundred years ago, the last generation of Demon Slayer Corps killed the ancestor of demons, Muzan Kibutsuji, and since then, evil demons have disappeared from this world.

"Logically speaking, if there was no Muzan, there would be no new demons. But why now?" Kyubey fell into thought.

As for Mikiya, he reached out and wiped off the demon blood that was splashed on his face, then turned to look at Yotsuya Miko, who was standing not far from him and whom he could protect at any time.

At this moment, Jianzi's face was pale, her little hands were tightly clutching her skirt, and tears were in the corners of her eyes.

A pair of dark golden eyes were filled with regret of "Why did I follow him here?"

"I say, Jianzi, it's about time you accept the reality, right?" Gan Ye sighed and walked over to comfort him.

"I can't accept it. I totally can't accept it!" Jianzi cried in despair, "Why should I accompany you to this abandoned factory to find these horrible monsters!"

That’s right, Kan’ye and Jianzi came out today specifically to look for these monsters.

It is daytime now. Evil spirits who are afraid of sunlight will not go out to hunt humans now. Instead, they will find a place where the sunlight cannot reach and lie dormant, quietly waiting for the night to fall.

And Gan Ye wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to kill these evil spirits before innocent people were attacked.

As for why Jianzi wanted to follow him, it was naturally because of Jianzi's "thin blood" physique that attracted evil spirits.

There is rare blood among humans. For evil spirits who rely on eating humans to become stronger, it can be said to be a delicious meal comparable to a dozen people. Once it appears, it will attract evil spirits to compete for prey.

And according to Kyubey, Jianzi's blood is the rarest of the rare bloods. One person is enough to provide the "nutrition" of hundreds or thousands of people, which is enough to make most of the evil spirits lose their minds and attack recklessly.

That's why Gan Ye, with Jianzi's consent, brought Jianzi to look for these dormant evil spirits.

"Also, what was that just now? It's obviously not a move that a human can do." Jianzi pointed at the Nichirin Sword on Kan'e's waist and complained with tears in his eyes.

"What are you talking about? I am a real human being, just a little stronger than others." Mikiya tilted his head and showed a harmless smile, "Just think of me as a person with supernatural powers."

By the way, now Kaneya did not choose to transform and fight, but simply hunted in human form.

This is due to a variety of considerations.

On the one hand, Gan Ye didn't want to be too conspicuous. Although he had the cognitive shield of Teacher Mao Yu, he couldn't always run around with Jianzi. On the other hand, it was Cupid's special request.

"Anyway, these evil spirits are more than enough for you to deal with even with your current human body, so don't transform for the time being." Kyubey said to him, "If it is really that Muzan Kibutsuji who has been resurrected, then your Kamen Rider state is likely to alert the enemy."

Therefore, Kan'ya is now working with Miko on the grounds that he is a former member of the Demon Slayer Corps and therefore inherited some skills in hunting demons.

As for why Jianzi agreed to such a dangerous request, it was naturally related to her current physical condition.

Suddenly seeing the evil spirit's yin-yang eyes and attracting the evil spirit's thin blood physique are very likely closely related to this incident. If I can solve this incident, maybe I can solve my own physical problem.

This is what Jianzi thought.

"Although that's what I said, it's too much. That monster almost bit me just now QAQ." Jianzi's voice trembled a little.

"Emmmm, after all, this is not ancient times." Ganye patted Jianzi's shoulder, "In modern society, it's not that easy to find a suitable hiding place without sunlight."

There have been no similar series of disappearances in other cities, so it can be basically judged that the "ghost" disaster has not yet expanded.

Therefore, now we just need to find the source of this mutation as soon as possible and then solve it.

Gan Ye thought so and looked around.

This is one of the hiding places of nearby evil spirits. Just now, attracted by Jianzi's blood, dozens of evil spirits swarmed in from all directions, which was completely different from what Kyubey said that ghosts should not be allowed to gather.

If Kyubey hadn't promised to protect Jianzi secretly, he would not have brought Jianzi into this place.

As for their ultimate goal, there has been only a little progress.

When Kan'ya faced the last evil spirit, he cut off his limbs with the Nichirin Sword, and then nailed him to the ground and asked him who was the culprit. The other party said with fear that he dared not say it.

At that moment, Kyubey was certain.

The culprit behind all this is Muzan Kibutsuji.

Chapter 189: Who is the prey?

Well, the problem is coming.

Where should Kaneya go to find Muzan Kibutsuji?

The answer to this question depends on the ordinary female high school student next to Mikiya.

"Um, Izumi-san, here..." On the busy street, Jianzi suddenly grabbed Kaneko's sleeve, then stretched out his finger and carefully pointed to an abandoned house next to him.

It looked like just an uninhabited house, but in Jianzi's eyes, this seemingly ordinary abandoned house was covered with a faint layer of blood.

This is a symbol of the existence of evil spirits.

Since he first saw the evil ghost that night, Jianzi's Yin-Yang eyes became even more powerful, so powerful that he could even see whether there was an evil ghost nearby.

This is something that Kyubey could not do even after he improved Gan Ye's spiritual vision. This was completely due to the blessing of the world's rules. It seemed as if the world's rules were a protective measure against distortions that should not exist.

"Hiding in a crowded street like this..." Kanye frowned and took off the guitar bag on his back that contained the Nichirin Sword. "I can go in alone this time. Miko, you just wait outside."

It's a small room like this, so ghosts probably can't hide there, so there's no need to deliberately attract them.

Anyway, it was broad daylight and there was no way they could escape to the streets.

"Okay, I understand." Jianzi nodded, but didn't say anything about wanting to go in together.

Although she still felt a little guilty about involving Gan in such a dangerous matter, since it had already happened, she would try her best not to become a burden to the other party.

Miko knew what she could do, and now, she just had to pray for Mikiya's safety.

"Probably... there are only one or two of them. Please be careful."

"Don't worry, it's just a mouse hiding in the dark. It's no problem." Gan Ye turned his head and smiled, then picked up the guitar case in his hand and walked towards the house.

This house looked like it had not been lived in for some time and was very dilapidated.

I gently pushed the door of the house, but it was not locked... No, it should be said that the lock was broken by someone.

But it was not by a ghost, but by a human.

This eerie house is the perfect adventure place for young people looking for excitement.

As I pushed open the door and walked into the house, I was immediately filled with the smell of moldy wood.

The sunlight shone through the door onto the entrance hall. There were clear footprints on the dusty ground. It seemed that they were left by the last person who came to explore. It was not long ago, only two or three days at most.

"In that case, the person who accidentally entered the 'haunted house' is probably already..." Gan Ye clicked his tongue secretly and closed the door under Jianzi's worried gaze.

Suddenly, the house was covered by shadows again.

Zheng——

The Sun Sword was unsheathed, and Kan'ye's feet stepped on the dilapidated wooden floor, making a creaking sound.

It should be said that this is an old house that has been abandoned for a long time. Even if there are no man-eating evil ghosts and wandering evil spirits, it is enough to arouse the fear of ordinary people.

Everywhere is in a tattered state, with discarded furniture scattered all over the floor, and spider webs everywhere... Tsk, aren't there too many spiders?

After knocking away the spider that was hanging from the ceiling and crawling onto his shoulder, Gan frowned in disgust.

He hates bugs, especially multi-legged bugs like spiders.

(ps, we know spiders are not insects, but we still subconsciously think of them as bugs.)

Unless it is a cute creature like a spider, he will basically kill it without hesitation when he sees it.

However, now is not the time to clean up the bugs, we should quickly find the hiding evil ghost.

dong dong——

"Hmm?" Gan Ye stopped and moved his ears slightly.

He seemed to hear a faint noise, as if something was hitting the wood.

dong dong——

It's not an illusion, there is something.

The direction of the sound... is it from the second floor? And there seems to be a faint humming sound, as if it is the sound made by someone with his mouth blocked.

With his extremely sensitive five senses, Kanye immediately captured the source of the sound.

He took a look at the rotten stairs with a cold look in his eyes. The Sun Wheel Sword in his hand flashed with a cold light. He took two steps at a time and jumped over the stairs in an instant and stepped onto the second floor.

"The sound... is it coming from this side?" Gan Ye looked to the right.

This house is a very traditional Japanese-style old house, and the rooms are basically all in the Japanese style. Gan Ye was standing in front of a sliding door, and the sound came from here.

Click.

The Sun Wheel Sword in his hand made a slight sound, and without any hesitation, a cold light flashed.

In an instant, the paper-pasted sliding door was split in half, making a sharp cracking sound and falling into the house.

Gan Ye walked into the house through the two halves of the door, casually dispersed the spider webs that looked like strips of gauze, and glanced around the house.

Just like the first floor, the room was filled with broken furniture and various garbage left behind by the young explorers. No evil spirits could be seen at first glance.

Boom boom boom!

Kaneya's calm black eyes looked towards the closet in the room, where the sound came from.

And he heard the sound of Kanye breaking open the door, and the strange noises in the closet became more intense and frequent, as if telling Kanye that he was here.

No way?

Gan Ye tilted his head, thought of a possibility, and showed a confused expression.

Temporarily giving up the idea of ​​just chopping with the sword, he put down the Sun Blade in his hand, walked forward and pulled open the sliding door of the closet.

Suddenly a cloud of dust rose up, causing Gan to frown.

Reflected in Kanye's black eyes was a young man who was tied up.

"Woo! Woo——" Seeing Gan Ye, the man immediately became excited, squirming his tightly tied body, and widened his bloodshot eyes, as if he wanted to say something.

Gan Ye tilted his head in confusion, looking at the man carefully.

Without a doubt, it is human.

It seems that this person should be the owner of the footprints that Ganye saw before. He was not eaten as Ganye imagined, but was tied here.

Why? Wait, these things that tie him up are... spider silk?

shhhhhh!

Just when Kan'ye noticed the special "rope" on the man, the sound of countless silk threads cutting through the air rang out in the room, and suddenly, Kan'ye's body began to be pulled uncontrollably.

When he accidentally knocked off the spider web, the spider silk wrapped around his limbs began to tighten, pulling his arms like silk threads controlling a puppet, and suddenly pulled his arms together and tied them up.

"Wuwuwu!!!" The man next to him looked extremely desperate. It seemed that he just wanted to remind Gan Ye to be careful with these spider silks.

Gan, who was tied up by spider silk, thought so too, then smiled at the man and told him not to worry about him.

Well, how should I put it? It turns out that I'm still not used to it without the transformation. I can't even notice such a simple trap.

But fortunately, as Kyubey said, even if he doesn't transform, with Mikiya's current physical fitness, it is more than enough to deal with these evil spirits!

"Hah!" Gan Ye shouted angrily and exerted force on the muscles in his arms. Although he could not break the spider silk that was as tough as steel wire, the huge force pulled the source of the spider silk at once.

He flipped his bound hands and grabbed the spider silk leading out of the room, pulling it hard.

There was a female scream that sounded like panic and fear, and a loud noise of something being pulled came from the other room. The paper-pasted sliding door was knocked open, and a white figure was pulled out from the next room.

Under Kanye's power that was completely inhuman and no doubt similar to that of a ghost, Miss Spider hiding in the house didn't even have a chance to break the spider silk and was pulled into the room where Kanye was.

"Ah!" With a very soft scream, the white figure fell to the ground, and blood oozed from the fingertips of the pale hands.

The spider silk loosened, and a hint of mockery flashed in its eyes as it looked at the ghost falling to the ground.

Perhaps she never imagined that the prey that fell into her spider web could actually be the hunter who could kill him.

He silently pulled out the Sun Blade that was stuck in the floor and walked towards the other person with an expressionless face.

The white figure raised her head and saw the cold light flashing, something that she was very familiar with. Her body began to tremble in fear, and a terrified voice came out from her cherry lips:

"Hi, Hiruzen Sword, Demon Slayer Corps..."
